AME RICA.

MR. JEFFERSON'S OFFER TO CONGRESS OF HIS
LIBRARY.

epit;e2ris,,lB:l4l.at
Dear learn fromrstilotetiNcelelow, Newspapers,
the vandaliSth of our enemy has triumphed at
Washington over science as well as the arts, t,y
the destruction of the public library, with the
noble edifice in which it was deposited. Of this
'transaction, as of that of Copenhagen, the world
will entertain but one sentiment. They will see
a Nation suddenly withdrawn from a great war,
full armed and full handed, taking adrunta"l of
another whom they bad recently forced into it,
unarmed and unprepared; to indulge themselves in
acts of barbarisin which do not belong to .a ci-
vilized age. When Van Ghent deStroyed their
shipping at Chatham, and De Ruycer rode tri.-
ungallantly up the Thames, he might, in like man-
ner,lay the acknowledgment of their own Histo-
rians, have forced all their ships up to' London-
bridge, and there have burnt them, the Tower and
City, had these esainples been 'then set. London,
when thus menaced-, was near. a thousand years
old ; Washington but in its teens,_
presume it will be among the early Objects of
Congress to recommence their collection. This
will be difficult while the war continues, and in-
tercourse with Europe. is attended with so much
risk. • You known my collection, its -condition,
and extent. I have been fifty years making it,
and have spared no pains; :op(portunity, or expense,
to make, it what it is. While residing in Paris I
devoted every afternoon I was disengaged, ,for a
summer or two, in examining all the principal
book-stores, turning over every book - with my
own hands, and putting by everything which re-
late to America, and, indeed, whatever was-rare
and valuable in every science' : besides this, I-had
standing orders during the whole time I was in
Europe, in its. principal book-marts, particularly
Amsterdam, Frankfort,.Madrid, and London, for
such works relating to America -as could not be
fotind in Paris. So that, in that department par-
ticularly,. such a collection was made as probably
can never again be effected ; beeatise it is hardly
probable that the same opportanities, 'the same
time, Industry, perseverance and expense, with
some knowledge of the -I)ibliographyof the subject,
would again happen to be in concurrence.
• During the same period, and after my return to
America, I was- led to procure also whateszex ze
laced to the .duties of those in the highest concerns
of the Nation .: so that the collection, ‘xhich I .
suppose is .of between 9 and 10,000 volumes,
while it includes what is chiefly valuable in sci-
ence and literature generally, extends more par-
ticularly: to whatever belongs to the American..
statesman:. in the diplomatic and parliamentary
branches, it is particularly full. It is long sincc.
I have been sensible it ought unit to continue pri-
vate property, and had provided, that, at my
death, Congress should have the refusal of it at
their own price ; . but the loss they have now in-
curred Makes the present the proper moment for
their accommodation, without regard to' the small
remnant of time, and the barren use of my enjoy-
ing • it. I ask of your friendship, therefore, to
mike for me the tender of it to'thie Library
,Com-
mittee Congress, not knowing myself of whom,
the Committee consists ; I enclose you a cata-
logue, which will enable them to judge of its cons
tents; nearly, the.whole are well bound, aband-.
ance of them elegantly, .and of the choicest
Lions. They may be valued by persons named by:
themselves, and the payment made convenient
the public ;' it may be, for instance, in'snch an-
nual instalments as the law olCongress has left at
their disposal, or ill stock of any of their late loans,
or of any loan they mayinstitute at this Session, so.
as to spare the present calls of oar country, and
await its days ofpeace and*prosperity. They may en-
ter, nevertheless, into iniatediate use ofiit, as 18 (sr
20 waggons would place it in NVashiagtou inn single •
trip of afortnight. I should be willing, indeed, to
retain a few of the books to amuse the time I
have yet to pasS, which might be valued with the
rest, but not included in the. sum -of valuation
until they shbuld be restored at my death, which
1 xvould carefully provide for, so that the whole
library, as it stands in the catalogue at this MO-,
meat, should be their's, without any garbling.—
Those I should like to retain would be - chiefly
classical and mathematical, some few in other
branches, and particularly one of the five Ency.z
clopedias, in the catalogue; but this, if not ac-
ceptable, would not be urged.
I must add, that I have not revised the library
since I came home to live, so that it is probable
some of the hooks may-be missing, except in the
.chapters of law and divinity, which have been re-
vised, and stand exactly as in the catalogue,- which
will of course be needed; whether the tender be
accepted or not. I do not knoW that it contains
any branch of science which Congress would wish
in to exclude from their collection. , There is,

fact, no subject to which a Member of Congress
may not have occasion to refer. But such a wish
would not correspond with my views of prevent-
ing its dismembertnelt. My design is either to
place it in their bann, entire, or preset ve it so
here. I am engned in making au alphabetical.

index of the authors names to be annexed to the

catalogue, ill order to facilitate the hndingtheic
works in the catalogue, 4-hich• I will forward to
You as boon as completed. - Any agreente►.t you
;hail he t'o go,nl as to take the trouble of enter,
ing into with the Committee, I hereby confirm.
Accept the assurance of my great esteem and
respect.

ANTONIC DI RAVENNA.

It is remarliahle how swiftly the disaffected

every country 'discover each other ; and deservin
of emoirv, by what irresistible instinct or tact the
unworthy citizen of one nation darts into an ini-
quitous union with the unworthy citizen of any
other into which he may be carried. So rapidly,
and so perfectly is this intimacy matured, that ;I
believer in the occult sciences might maintain it to.
be the result of magic influences ; while we simple
Politicians can only refer the phenomena to the
generalization of disloyalty, and the thorough cor-
respondence which exists among the disciples of
the New School.

We are led to these remarks by the publication
in the Morning Chronicle of the letters of an im-
pudent Scoundrel, an Alien or an Impostor, a
Foreigner, or a Briton more foreign to the love
of his Country than any Foreigner, who signs
himself Antonio di Ravenna. This Fellow, upon
whose motions the Alien Office either has an eye,
or fails in the discharge of its bounden duty, is
we presume, the Correspondent of Milan-, who
not finding it convenient to write his letter froin
such a distance, has condescended at length to
scribble his falsehoods from the place of his resi-
dence, in this wicked City of London.—And he
seems to find some advantage from this change ;
fur the general assertions in which he deals,
though equally true, with his accounts of execu-
tions for riots at Theatres which never happened,
are by no means so easily refuted. Neither are they
indeed worth refuting ; and it is not to so
fruit-
less a task that we devote these few observations.
It is the scurrilous and insolent abuse of the Go-
vernment which protects this Aisassin ; it Is to
the rascally slander of the country which shelters
him (we doubt not from punishment in that from
Which he has fled) that we think it our duty to
point attention, and to call down censure, not on
him alone, but on the Journal which disgraces
even its pages by devoting them to the rancor-
ous effusions of an Alien Enemy, as if its own
native malignity were not enough to sate any
common appetite for patriotic hatred.
The Vagabond Writer, whose congenial favours
the Party Organ sb conspicuously displays in large
type, prominegq situation, and regular numbers,
has the audacity, in his first letter, to say—

" I shall prove, at least, to all di.simlcrested persons., (if
any such there are in this country), that both the history
and geography of Europe arc totally unknown to those who
on the part of this country are to act for the general paci-
Seation."

Pretty well, this, for.,kz,roNio DI RAVENNA, an
Itzlian liviug under the s3tiction of the British
Covemment ;" but this is nothing to his perora-
tion, in which he thus expresses himself :

" I shall, in my next, proceed to skew the present state of
Italy; and as a native of that country xii!y, be allowed,
through the medium wf YOUR Parr-a, to freely give my opi-
nion, in spite of the Alien Office, who, if they discovered
rue, would, without duu't, order me out of the country;
iu t.iis land of liberty, if a native tell the truth, I ant aware
that he is never pardoned, and if a stranger, he is banished.
" I remain, Sir, TRULY YOUR'S,
" ANTONIO DI RAVENNA.

Upon which modest paragraph. we shall only
observe, that M. ANTONIO appears to have a just
notion of what the Alien-Office ought to do for
him ; and a similar treatment, with the accom-
paniment of a sound whipping, we would ear-
nestly recommend for all those who are so truly
Morning Chronicle. The other letters are of a
piece with the first; and we are astonished, that
if -a Foreigner could he found daring enough to
libel the British People, a British Newspaper
could he procured base enough to give insertion
to his calumnies. lie broadly and falsely accuses
our Government of " shameful duplicity in the
representations" it made to Venice, Piedmont,
Savo}, Parma, and other Italian States. But not
in t!:e same strain does the Traitor speak of his
Master, BUHNAPARTE. He, forsooth, made some
noble roads front France into Italy, and
" These magnificent reads must attest to future ages the
great views of that extraordinary Usurper! But IItioNAPAILTE
went still further; he gave to the people op Noithern //a/:l a
military spirit which they had not felt for some centuries;
the youth of that country were enrolled in his legions, and
received qua( encouragement with the French themselves ;
the taxes imposed on the Italians were expended in Italy,
either in works of public utility or in the pay of the soldiery
of the country ; a field was opened to the people gratifying to
their asnhlaoss and to their pride.
,Measureless Liar a, as SHAKESPEARE would call
such a Slave. Yet it is true, that the Tyrant enrolled
the yowl] of Italy in his legions, and that they were
treated like the French themsd, es
—.4- or they were
dragged forward to perish in wars as distinct from
Vie interests and glory of Italy as of France;
they, like the French, were sacrificed by thou-
sands to the ambition of the selfish and mei,
ciles destroyer ; their blood was shed in every
corner of But ope ; and for an example of the
gratification which their pride received from
the paternal reign of this Fiend (time vaunted
patron of ANTONIO DE RAVHNNA and of the
nin g Chronicle, the promulgator of his infa.

MOM falsel►oGds)—that may be taken from • LA-
NUME'S (BEAUHARNOIS' Aide-de-Camp) Narra-
ive of the Russian Campaign, ‘vhere we are in-.
ortned (page 316) on the credible testimony of
in eye-witness and a soldier devoted to the pseudo
Viceroy, that " the Guard of Honour of Italy,
timposed of young men, selected from the first
families in that country, and evhose parents al-
lowed them each a pension to support their rank
in the army as sub-lieutenants, though serving as
privates, among whom was found the most bril-
liant talents united to 'the greatest fortune, &c. &c.
That this illustrious corps of 350 cadets perished
in the most deplorable manner, with the excep-
tion of FIVE wretched, worn-out and emaciated
Beings, who barely survived their comrades, to
carry home to Italy the tidings of their deplOrable
fate, and fill the land with mourning."—For
such benefits as• these is the vile Corsican
applauded by villains like himself ; and we are
assured by M. Di RAVENNA, that in Italy
they " can never he forgotten, as long as the
Austrians remain there ; whose conduct ofibrds so
striking a contrast to that of the French."

NVe have not patience to follow this impudent
Mountebank further through his tissue of slanders :
the Whole tenor of his correspondence is a scardal
even to the abusive and Anei-British Journal iu
which it appears, which Journal we leave to the
scorn of the Public, while we call on the Alien
Office to perform the business for which it is paid,
and send this improper. Foreignei• out of_ the
country.
