| SIR,
have the honor to inform your Excel
lency that received, through Mr.. Secretary
Ryland, your Exceilency's commands to re-
turn to Canada, and, after the delays Incl
dent to this season of tie year, in a Journey
from Boston, arrived here yesterday.
| Your EXccllency will have seen by the pa
pers of the latest dates from the U. States,
that formidable opposition is already organ
lied IN Congress TO the late measures of Mr..
| Madison; and 1T is very evident, that if he be
sincere in his professions OF attachment 20 G.
Britain, his party wall abandon him. Sixty
one members have already voted against a
resolution to approve Of what he has done !;
and, have no doubt the rest of the democra-
TIC party viii follow the example, as soon as
they recover from the astonishncnt into which
his apparent detection has thrown them.
The present hopes of the federalists are
founded on the probability of war with
| France but at all events, this party is strong
aud well organised enough to prevent a war
with England. Il would now be superfuous
to trouble your EXcelency with an account
OF the nature aud extent Of the arrangements
made by the federal party to resist any at
tempt OF the government unfavorable 20 G.
Britain. They were such as do great credit
to their ability and principles; and while
Judicious policy is observed by Great britain,
secure her interests in America from decay
| My fear OF inducing a false security on the
part OF His Majesty's government in their eff
hciency and eventual success, may have in

Justice In my former letters, which willing
| ly take the present occasion to express
trust your Excellency will ascribe the

| the frequent antiquities introduce in them.
| as arising from the seCresy necessary to be
! observed and my consciousness that YOU un-
| derstood my meaning ON the most delicate
points without risking a particular explana-
| ton.
lament that no occasion commensurate to
| my wishes has permitted me to prove how
much l value tie confidence of your Excel
| lency and the appreciation already express
| ed by his Majcsty's minister.
