Sir send to Mr.. II. a pamphlet entitled
Suppressed Documents The notes and
comments were written by the gentleman
who has written the g analysis" which,
sent BY former conveyance. These works
have greatly contributed to excite the fears
OF the men OF talents and property; whonew
prefer the chance of maintaining their party
by open resistance and final separation to
an alliance with France, and a war with En-
Igland. -. 80, ..i
So that should the government unexpec-
tedly and contrary to all reasonable calcu-
lation, attempt to involve the country in
measure of that nature am convinced (now
that the elections have all terminated favor
ably that none of the New England states
would be a party in it. But, as have re-
peatedly written. the General Government
does not seriously entertain any such desire
or intention. Had the majority in the New
England states continued to approve of the
public measures, it is extremely probable
that q. Britain would now have to choose
between war and concession. But the as
pect of things in this respect is changed
and war would produce an incurable ali
enation of the Eastern states, and bring the
whole country iii subordination to the in
terests of England, whose navy would pre-
scribe and enforce the terms upon which
he con H.
the agricultural states export their. surplus
produce. All this is as we'll known to the
democrats as to the other party therefore
they will avoid a war, at least until the
whole nation is unanimous for it. Still when
we consider of what materials the govern
ment is formed, it is impossible to speak
with any certainty of their measures. The
past administration in every transaction pre-
sents to the mind only muddy commixture
OF folly, weakness and duplicity. The spell,
by which the nations of Europe have been
rendered insert and inefficient when thev
attempted to shake it off, has stretched it's
| shadows across the Atlantic and made a
majority of the people of these states alike
blind to duty and to their true interests.

SIR--Since my letter No IL, l have had
but little to communicate.
have not yet been able to ascertain with
sufficient accuracy the relative strength of
the two parties in the Legislative bodies in
New England.
In all Of these states, however, Govern
ors have been elected out of the federal par
t., and even the southern papers indicate an
unexpected augmentation of federal mem
bers IN the next Congress.
Inc correspondence between Mr. Frs
kline and the Secretary of state at Wash
lngton, you will have seen before this can
reach you. 1t has given much satisfaction
to the federal party here because it pro-
misses an exemption from the evil they u,os,
feared "a war with England) and iustifies
their Partially towards G. Britain which
they maintain was founded upon a full con-
viction Of her justice and sincere disposition
to preserve peace. Even the democrats
affect to be sat SIZED with it, because as they
insist 1t proves the efficacy of the restric-
tive systemlof Mr.. Jefferson "a
But the seat benefit that will probably
result from it, will be that Bonaparte MAJ
De induced to force this country from her
neutral position. Bafied in his attempts to
exclude from this continent the manufaL-
lures OF Great Britain, he will most likely
contlscate all American property in his do
minions and dependencies, and declare war
Nothing could more than this contribute to
give influence and stability to the British
party. The invidious occurrences of the
rebellion would be forgotten in the resent
ment of the people against France; and thew
would soon be weaned from that attachment
to her which is founded on the aid that was
rendered to separate from the mother coun

While Great Britain waits for this natu-
raj, might say necessary result of the ne
gociation, would it not be extremely inex
pedient to conclude a treaty with the A.
r,erican governments Every sort of evil
dence and experience prove, that the demo-
Gratis consider their political ascendancy in
a great measure dependent upon the hos
tie spirit thai. they can keep alive towards
Great Britain, and recent events demon
strate that their Conduct will be predicated
upon that conviction 3 it is therefore not to
be expected that they will meet with cor.
responding feelings sincere disposition on
the part OF England to adjust all matters IN
dispute. They are at heart mortified and
disappointed to-hnd that Great Britain has
been iii advance of the French government
III taking advantage of the provisional clau-
ses OF the non intercourse law and il thew
shew any spirit at the next session of Con-
gress towards France, it will be ONLY be-
cause they will fiud Bonaparte deaf to en-
treaty and ihsensible of past favors or that
they may think it safer to float with the tide
of public feeling which will set strongly a

England in conciliatory policy. -
