the Bririlh governalent, for the adj
iuitment of all the differences fub-
iiitirg between the two countries
His najedy has no other difPo6
ton than 70 cultivate the mott
friendly intercourse with the United
States.
The undersigned is perfuaded,
that Mr.. Pinckney would be one Of
the lalt to Imagine, what is often
idly aferted, that the deareiIion Of
any other country is neeeGny order
viceable to the profperity of this.
The PROPERTY of America is efen-
tally the prolperity of Great Britain,
ind the lfrength and power Of Great
Britain are not for hcrfeif only, bur
for the world. When rhoie adult
ments fhall take place, to which tho
unfortunately not practicable at this
moment, nor under the conditions
prefcribed by MIR. Pinckney, the un-
derfigned, nevertheless, confidently
looks forward It will perhaps be
no infecure pledge, for the coniinu-
ance of the good understanding be-
tween the two countries, that they
will have learnt daily TO APPRECIATE
each others friendlhip; and that 1t
will not hereafter be imputed TO
Great Britain, either on the ons
hand that ihe envies American in
dniry as prejudicial to Britiih COM
m@rce, or, on the other hand, that
Inc is compelled to court an inter-
courfe with America as absolutely
necehary 10 her own exiitence.
His majeay would no; hehta:e to
contribute, in any manner in his
power, to rei1ore to the commerce OF
the United States ITS wonted aetiyI-
ty, and if it were pofible 10 make a.
ny faeri6ce for the repeal of the en-
largo, without appearing to depre-
cate it as meafure Of nobility, he
would gladly have facilitated It's re-
noval as meaiure Of inconSeniert
fcsirictipn upon the American Peo-
pie.
-fhe undersigned is commanded,
in concIu6oD, 10 obferve thar moth
ing is faid in Mr.. Pinckney's letter,
of any intention to repeal the pro-
clamation by which the ihips of war
of Great Britain are ihterdi6ted from
all thofe rights of hofpitality in the
ports Of the United States which are
freely allowed to ihiPs Of his majcf-
tvs enemies.
The continuance of ar intcrdic-
ton which, under fuch circumhan-
ces, amounts 70 nearly 70 direCt hof-
tility, after the Willingness protected,
and the attempt made by his majef-
ty, to remove the caule on which
that meafure had been originally
founded, would afford hut an maui
picious omen for the commencement
of fyftem of mutual Cancellation ;
and the omiflion of any notice OF
that rleafure in the propoial which
Mr.. Pinckncy has been initrucfed 70
bring forward, would have been OF
itielf a material defect in the over
ture Of the prefdent.
But the undersigned is command
ed no further 70 dwell upon this fub
jet than for the purpofc OF ailuring
Mr.. Pinckney, that on this and eve
ry other point in difcuG;pn between
the two governments, his maJeity
earnefly eeires the reforation OF a
perfect good understanding, and that
his majefty would decline no meas
ure for the attainment of thar OBJ
Jet which fhould be compatible with
his own honour and juit rights, and
with the intereits of his people.
The undersigned requeits MIR,

The French prIvsteer Rersne, Of Msrfin-
ique, has captured brig George, Douglas, Of
and from New Londons for s.. Lucia. x lent
her into St. Fieres 2sth ut. On their arrival,
capt Douglas, and al bis hands, were imme-
diatey confined in filthy pfifon, for "a hours,
and then discharged 10 wander the itreets, 81
fufer nakedLefs aud hunger. The Ameri-
cans, IN port, however, contributed to their
relief
Iis a facf, that at this moment,
great majority offree, natlVe americans
are FederaHsts ;'and It's believed, there
never was time, when this was not
lie case. The present democratic
leaders originally got into power and
have kept in, by the influence OF foretga
voters. The Irish, Scotch, and Ger
man aliens are so numerous, and so
clamoroas in the middle States, as to
be able 10 vote down The reat american
Candidates Had not tits been the
case, neither Pennsylvania, New York,
OF New-Jersey would ever have been
Democratic. III the states Of Virginia,
CaroIinas, and Georgia al enormous
accession Is made 10 the Democratic
interest, BY the number Of 2aUeS. Take
away from these States the votes which
they give in consequence of holding
alzves, and take from the, middle states
the votes given in those states by afsa8,
and the principles OF FEDERALISM
and Of WASHINGTON would be
supported, by a large majority Of ths
potes Of he vAo!e Union. These facts
will be apparent to any one, who viii
make the computation.
Thus then the AMERICAN PEO-
PIE ARE FEDERAL: and if they
were at liberty to chuse a Government
fer hafAlesiyds, Il would be F-5erH
Government. n. Oracle.
