Il good ex5sdient.--It is said, that Con.
stantiEe, the father Of Constantine, finding,
when he came to the throne, a considerable
NUMBER of Christians in office at court, is
sued an edict, requiring them 70 renounce
Christianity or quit their places. The far
greater part of them readily and resoluteIy
gave up their employment and prospects, in
order to preserve good consciences tut a

When the Emperor had thus made full
proof of their disposition, he turned out
every one who had complied, and took all

for his conduct. that these zuho zvould not be
true to CHRIST, zvouM notbe trur to him.

thing may be done before this reaches you,
to remove the aon intercourse law, which
must have proved injurious {" individuals

nue.. All candid men in this country think
that Mr. Ersklne violated his instructions !;
but do not know wha, may be the general
impression in America. MIR. Jackson was

therefore 1t is not surprising that he had
little sparring with Mr.. Smith. am afraid
from what i heard before we had any know.
ledge of the rupture, tina. his character is
that Of high-minded irascible mani
mean Mr. Jackson. Ma. Madison seems
to have two languages: one IN please the.
party that brought him into power-nothrng
but the war whoop is grateful to the ears OF
the Jacobins. Mr.. Pinkney however seems
to be instructed TO speak in a more mild
and pacific tone, and hope he will succeed
in effecting happy reconciliation Of the
existing differences between the two coun
tries: He is great favorite at court, and
is spoken of with the greatest respect by
the people of all parties. He possesses
much of the suaviter in mode which is a
great requisite in a public ministe, or am
hassaJor, and am also certain that he does
not want the ;forfztrrin re.
$. The Spaniards still hold out manfully,
and should they ultimately be subiagatvd
by Bonaparse, is will COS, him much>blood
and treasure.
The Burde,rites, or the Jacobins OF
this country, begin to quake, and are no
longer considered as objects of serious a
iarm.
/ hope the American government will
cultivate good understanding with this,
who 1 am sure tervenhv desire it. For

every thing thar concerns the peace, wei
