For ourselves we do not conceal our con.
viction, founded on a variety of known ci'.
cumstances, as well as the lingu.ge of cer-
tain English prints. that the British policy
is cooperating with the efforts made
mong ourselves, to ALLEVIATE the affections
OF our citizens from their government, thus
the more eftectually to answer and promote
the views OF the British government bv
rendering abortive the measures taken in
vindication OF our just rights. She calcu-
lates upon our divisions, and to divide and
paradise us, she acts one way and talks an
other. There can scarcely be doubt that
she is playing the most dexrous card in
order to influence the pending elections,
particularly that of Chief Magistrate for
the ensuing four years. We shall be hap
by, it, even after she shall have been com
pletely baflied in her hopes on this head,
as bafied she infallibIy VIII be, she at
length accede to the just terms offered by
our government.

By the Philadelphia papers it appears
that Federalism gains ground in the state
of Delaware. There are only three coun-
ties in the state. Newcastle decidedly
democratic, Kent nearly equal, Sussex
greatly federal. Returns from two coun-
ties are published; Ncw-Casrie demo-
cratic Majority of 6e4, this is less than for
merry; Kent, federal majority of 49, more
than,any former year: SO that Mr.. Vdndyke
VIA be re elected by greater majority
than-hasheen gwen to the federal ticket for
many years. Tie electors OF President are
secure. (Fcd. Gazette.

1t is a consideration at this time, parti'

interference of the British consul. PRINE-

not just cause, independent of every O.

he has been nominally appointed here.---ib

SIs---I have duly received your let
ter OF July 6, covering the resolutions
of the Legislature of South Carolina OF
June 20; and see in those resoluti-
ons new manifestation ofthe nation
al spirit OF which South Carolina
has given SO many proofs. 1t is the
more exemplary, as it is certain that
no state sacrifices more by the ooera-
ton OF a measure which, whether to
avoid war, or to prepare for II, has
been deemed equally necessary. The
unanimity too Of these resolutions does
peculiar honor to those individuals.
who differing from the mass of their
fellow citizens in their opinions Of go
vernment, yet forget all differences
when the rights of their country are in
question; who when it is assaiIed by
foreign wrong and menaced with the
evils Of war, instead of encouraging G.
nemiss by forebodiugs of weakness
and division, present to them one COM
mon undivided front. Persuaded that
the sentiments expressed in these re-
solutions are q true specimen of those
entertained by the great mass Of our
fellow citizens, we may regret the G.
wills which contrary opinion in others
NAV produce, bur we cannot fear the
result of any trial they may put us to.
Ireceive with particular grati6cati-
on assurances of appreciation from the
legislature Of South-Carolina, and will
continuance of it. | pray you to ac-
cept my salutations and assurances Of
great respect and consideration.
