HaadreFs Poinf, March IL, 1881.
My LORD,
received yours this morning thank
you tor your Wish to promote my ADVANTAGE
out am much surprised at your Proposition,
battered myself stood in a more favorable
light with you. i shall write with the same
freedom with which we nsed to converse, and
douot not you Will receive it with the same
cahdour. lhave often heard you express your
sentiments respecting This unfortunate war,
when you thought the Americans injured !.
but am now astoaished to find YOU taking an
acive part against them-though not fight-
Ing particularly on the continent-yet the Sc
duclng their soldiers away to enlist iu the
British service, is nearly similar
MY Lord, you are pleased to compliment
me with having fought bravely in my coun-
try's cause, Tor many years, and, in YOUR opi-
mon, fulfilled the duty every individual owes
1t but differ widely with YOU in thinking
that l have discharged my duty to nv coun3
try, while 1T is still deluged in blood, and o.
Verrun by British troops, who exercise the
most savage cruelties. When entered into
this contest, did it with the most mature
uenoeratlon, with determined resou ton to
FISK my lie and fortune in the cause. The
hardshIps have gene through, / lcek upon
with the greatest pleasure and honor to NV
gun, that my example may encourage the
youths OF America, to stand forth in defence
OF their rights and liberties You call upon
me now, and tell me have fair opening of
quitting that service witk honor, and repu-
tation to myself, by going with you to lanai
ca. Good God is it possible that such an i.
dea could arise i'll the breast of a man of ho-
norf am sorry you should imagine have
SO little regard to my own reputation, as TO
listen to SUCH dishonorable proposals. Would
you wish to have that man, whom you have
IGNORED with your friendship, play the trail
tor Surely not. You say, by quitting this
country for time, might avoid disasreea4
bic conversations, arid might return at nv
own leisure, aud take possession of my es-
tates for myself and family but you have
forgot to tell me how / could get rid of the
feelings OF an injured honest heart, & where
70 hide myself from myself. Could be gull
ty OF somuch baseness, ] should hate myself
and shun mankind. This would be fatal
exchange for my present situation, with an
easy and approving conscience, Of having
done my duty, and conducted myself as man
of honor

Bonaparte seems at present to have two
great objects in contemplation.
Why the immense BODY OF troops which he
is said to have thrown into Spain and Portu
gal Mot surely to take Portugal because
a small detachment aided by few of his
Spanish allies, would have been adequate 10
that object.---Itis not improbable that he has
conceived the design of attacking the elm
pregnable fortress" CT Gibraltar; and indeed
a London paper asserts that his army is i'd
contain 10000 miners. Whether Gibraltar
may be taken by sap and blowing up, it is left
to engineers to determine A conconitant
project may possibly be the invasion Of Ire:
land from Spanish and Portuguese ports.
What is the object Of Bohaparte's visit TO
Italy at this time II may probably be the
new Organization Of the powers and thrones
of that country but it is at the same time
impossible not to connect it with formidable
invasion Qrom Italy and Dalmatia) of the ter
