SrB-Although the recent changes that
have occurred quiet all apprehenSions OF war,
and consequently lessen all hope ofa sepdrd-
ton q the states, | think it necessary to
transmit by the mail OF each week a sketch of
passing events.
On local politics | have nothing to add and
as the parade that is made IN TIE National In
telligeneer of the sincere disposition of MIR.
Madison to preserve anlicabie relations with
Great Britain is in ny opinion calculated to
awaken a vigilance and distrust rather than
inspire confidence, | shall (having nothing
more important to write about AXE leave to
examine his motives. am not surprized at
his conditional removal OF the non-intercourse
law with respect to Great Britain, because it
was made incumbent on him By the act ofcon-
gress; bat the observations made on his friend,
" dispositions towards Great Britain is a mat
ter Of no listle astonishmcnt. TIE whole te-
nor of his political life directly ana unequiyo-
eaIly contradicis them. His speech on the
British treaty in go, His attempt to pass a
law for the confiscation of g British debts and
British property. His commercial resolutions
grounded apparently on an idea of making
America useful as a colony to France. His
conduct while secretary of state; all form an
assemb!age OF probabilities tending to con-
vince me at least that he does not seriously
desire a treaty in which the rights and preten-
sons-of Great Britain would be fairly recog-
med. 1t seems impossible That he should at
cnce divest himself OF his habitual animosity
and that pride Of opinion, which his present
situation enables him to indulge but above
ali, that he should deprive his friends ana sup
porters OF the benefit ofthose preiudices watch
have been carefully fossered in tue minds of
the common people towards England, and
which have so materially contributed TO invi-
Sorate and augment the democratic party
Whatever his real motives may be, it is in
tis stage of the affair harmless enough to en-
cure into the cause of tie apparent change.
He probably acts under a conviction that in
the present temper OF the Eastern states a war
could not fail to produce a dissolution of the
union or he may have prof ed by the mis-
ukes OF his predecessor and is inclined 10
sZe the present opportunity to prove TO the
world that he is determined to be the presi-
Cent OF a nation rather than the head of a fac
ton or he has probably gone thus far to re-
move the impression on the mind OF many that
he was under the influence of France in order
that he may with a better grace and on more
tenable gro mis- quarrel with Great Britain in
The progress of negotiating a treaty. What
ever his motives may be, | am very certain
is party will not support him in any manly
aud generous policy. Weak men are sure to
temporise when great events call upon them
tr decision, and are sluggish aud inert at the
noment waen the worst OF evils is in action
FnIs is the character of the democrats in the
northern states. OF those in the south | know
but little.

Ibeg leave to suggest that in the present
state of things in this country my presence can
contribute very little to the interests OF Great
Britain. If Dir. Erskine be sanctioned in all
he has conceded, by his majesty's ministers,
