MADAM,--Pardon •• an intruding Correspondent.
Prier, like your's, Ought to Entitle- you to the un-
disturbed enjoyment of ieelpskin Whom the public
eye; but a letter, signed with your name, having
appeared in various papers, not nrrely declining,
but peremptorily rejectingall subscriptions from the
public, is the cause sr taveddressing- yon through
the same channel, teetneithit you, that such letter'
of yourrs has.givert. much discontent fo* many highly
respectable characters, who, no way Meaning to of.
fend your delicacy, thought a sobsciiption the only
method sf at once demonstrating -their respectful
feeling for you and your •offspring.—The let itself
hating occasioned much legalandpoliticaldistpssion,
it was presumed, that while the amount of: tbe pro-
posed subscription might be of some small slake to
your family, the expression of the public mind on
the occasion, might be such as to wash :Way, ill
• some degree, the obloquy attempted to be fixed upon
the perpetrator of an act, Which, although not de-
fensible, was occasioned by much provocation and
ill treatment, namely, the denial of protection and
justice.

Compared to these who calmly plan the destruction
of a friendly city, and the . astassination of its inl.a-
bitants—compered to those, who, numbering among
their dependent pensioners professed assassins, pro-
mote..
pleas of infernal machines—compared to the
destroyers, by wholesale, of the human .race—the
man who, bereaved of bread and driven to despair,
puts a period to the life of his oppressor, and.frecly
yields up his awn to justice, must appear less.guilty
at the tribunal of a just GOD,' who sect the mest
hidden springs of human actions. So 'thought: many
of your well-wishers ; and some even went fertile'',
and reflecting that from partial 'evil often arises gene-
, ral good, while they detested. the deed, imagined that
national advantages were likely to *arise therefi•cm,
by a change of men and measures. The latter most
unfortunately has not taken place, and you appear
to have taken offence at the former ; while
those who advised, and, perhaps, penned your cpis-
I Ikr .luivibten more 'successful in -their desfgn, for
'their. hue thirehy prevented' the expression - of the
,pahitc sentiment on the subject, and they have also
alienated from you the hearts of many. :.,Let it be
hoped, however, that whatever may have been the
result of the advice you have followed, you.may not,
in the end, ,have reason to complain that you have
been deemed to your ruin:

Mitrastr.-To your person a stranger, public re-
port has brought me acquainted with yOur transcen-
dent virtues, and experience has taught me that,
'wherifiirtues reside, there also must be nobleness of
mind. Par from attempting to recommend the widow
BELLINGHAM to your charity, for I am given to un-
'derstand that a prosecution impetuls on one who has
already so doae,'l, at present, Madam; mean to hold
her up to you as a pattern—not In gffluence like
yOu, she yet scorns to receive money from the pub-
lic, and that moroi not squeezed nut of a miserable'
,people by oppressive taxation, but freely offered and
taken from pockets that can afford to give. Tier
