cIh,
Some days since, observing two men engaged in
conversation, took the liberty to attend to the sub
ject which they were discussing. One OF the men
appeared to be native Of IYeand, and che Of those
unfortunate persons, vino have been ven from that

impression on my mind, that have been induced to
commit them to paper and send them to you for in

"YOU, Sir, who l..,e never been beyond the con-
fines of your native country who have never seen,

For the REPUBLICAN.
THE RETROSPECT CONTINUED.

We come now to that offer which was
made, by our government to G.. Britain, and
which Of itself disproves the calumnies OF the
opposition, and demonstrates the impartiality
of the last administration. 1t will be rcmem-
bered by those, who find it not for their boz
SONS peace to forget, when. last summer, it
was stated, in the National Intciligencer, that
our minister in England was instructed TO
make this offer, that it was much doubted by
the opposition but they made no hesitation
in declaring, that, If such an offer was made
to G. Britain, no doubt she would accept Of
it, and if she did not, that then all would be
united against her. 1t was not long, how
ever, before it was fatty denied, in the oppo-
sition papers, that such instructions we're giv-
ento Mr.. Pinkney, and this upon the credit
of British ministerial print, which stated
that such an offer had been made, but clogg-.
ed with certain conditions with respect to inn
pressment, which the interest and honour. of
G.. Britain would not allow her to accept Of.
Thus the minds of the opposition were pre-
pared by their leaders, to resist the tcstimo-
ny which was soon to be furnished, and which
was furnished by the documents accompany
ing the Presidents message at the opening of
the last winter session of Congress. And
thus the information given in the Intelligen-
ccr,, for the purpose of satisfying and quiet
ing the minds of the people, had 10 other
effect, but to give notice to these leaders, of
what was to come and, therefore, gave them
more time to prevent its happy cffeot upon
the minds of the community
!. The opposition had no doubt but that G..
Britain would accept Of this offer il made,
they, therefore, thought they were trcading
upon sure ground, and might assert, without
eny danger Of its being put to the test, that II
G., Britain rejected this offer, ttsy would

LETTERS.

OF what vast importance is the use of Let
ters !--What noble invcntion--an inyeption
bespeaking angeIlick intelligence! Who can
too greatly admire this iilustrious effort OF
human genius Who can. render sufficient
gratitude to heaven, FOR such an invaluable
gift. BY these the wisdom of fagcsfs accumd-
lated at our feet-by these the flowers of the
imagination shall unfading bloom through
the long tract of future time" But above
all, how are the social virtues diffused! How
is the enchanting voice of Friendship echoed
far How are the nobler feelings worked in
the bosom Of sensibility !---Emphatically did
the bard exclaim, in tender rapture,
"Thcy live, they speak, tey breathe what love In
spires,
Warm from the soul, and faithful TO its fires
Shed the soft intercourse from soul to soul, e
And watt the sigh from Indies to the pole"

THE WILD IRISH Girl.

DRoPrINo the epistolary form OF the mar
ration, and rcsuming the tale in the third per-
son, is manifest fault in the work. 1t de-
stroys that simplicity and uniformity which
should pcrvade writings of this kind. It's ab-
rupt termination is another glaring defect
The readers expectation is on the wing; and
something more is looked for than what is
detailed in the letter of the Earl Of M.

SOLITUDE.

SOLITUDE has it's advantages and disadvan-
tagcs, as peculiar circumstances predominant.
1t is highly favourable to the acquisition Of
abstract knowledge, and conspicuously operat-
ed to give to the sages OF antiquity those
brilliant talents, which have secured them i'm
mortal fame. But to those of melancholy
temperament, or whose souls have been i'm
mslatcd upon the altar of adversely, solitude
is dclcterious. The lover, signing for the
dear object Of his heart, should never seek
solitude. " Its shades are delusive--P Peace
is not within them.' For such the scenes of
variety and noise are the best adapted. Let
him rush into the vortex Of busy world,
amid the commotions Of fassociatcd man, and
the image of his mistress will be gradually
effaced from his anxious mind, or new beauty
slight up another fame, and put out this."

In the beginning of May last, my three
children, boy. of seven, and two girls the one
FIVE, aud the other three years; of age were
taken very i'll, nearly at the same time, OF
.common fever, as then supposed but was
soon convinced the disorder was caused by
worms They were frequently troubled with
CONFUSION fits, and violent startiags H. their
sleep, and with ailnos. continual Eomiting and
purging, particularly the youngest. j made
immediate application to physician of the
first reputation, and his medicines were adj
miaistered witha conf ence oil suecess, which
only increased our Disappointment. The
children grew daily worse, and was absolute
~ without hopes OF their recovery. The
youngest soon appeared almost devoid of ami
.mation, and scarcely an iahahiiant of this
rxsrld. In this distressing moment Twas told
that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges
bad performed many cures in cases equally
desperate. Immediately purchased box,
and gave each. of them dose, which in few
.],oufs produced the most desirable effects
The eldest yoidec great number of very
,arge worms, and the second thousands of
small ones, many OF them not quarter Of an
inch---in the youngest they seemedso be con-
sumed, and had the. appearance Of skin and
slimy matter. repeated the dose agreeable
to the paper of directions, and they all speed
ny recovered good state of health, which
ihev still enjoy, though months have near
sYv efsDsed. since thew were m the borders Of
the grave. and the death OF the whole seemed
70 beireyitable.
