SIR--I have the honor TO intorm you that
Yesterday tnoI ming, about o'clock, received

Alligator, then some distance up the river l
received the following Information from Sail

North Edisto, for Cbarleston--soon alter ieav-
ing the bar, discovered an enemy's squadron'
consisting Of frigate, heavy brig, and a her.
mophrodi.e, which gave chase TO him--wino
lirht from the wv. he found that the irisate
would cut him of from Charleston, sni IN the
evening run into the river and hove TOO, the
enemy then close off the bar and from their

the Secretary OF State, in which the views cs
our government were so explicitly manifested
in regard TO France, he knew, to use his own
words, Is that il would be satisfactory TO the
emperor and powerfully counterfeit any i'm
prcssions unfayorablc TO the United States
which the English interest in Russia had
been endeavoring 10 excite" Nov was Mr..
Adams mistaken.--Such effect ii imm la
tcly did produce upon bis confident, his cam
did, his honorable mind. So exclusively did
il stamp the conviction that (in the true -spir-
il Of he Immediately instructs his chancellor
to communicate it to Count Lieven, his am
bassador at London, that it maybe made known
to Lord Cas,Isreagh And for what purpose
For the purpose alone, let the federalis,s mark
it, OF CONVINCING THE BRiTIIH GOVERN
mENT OF IRIS ERROR IN sUsPEc TING THAT
OF THE UNITED STATES OF ANY sUBsER-
yIExcY TO FaANcE." The communication
was made. But, while injury aud injustice
have been accumulated, the ranking bosom
they spring from, seldom has rhanIiness
enough TO retract It's error. The commoni-
cation indeed was made but--the sullen
mind Of England remaindcd unmoved The
English interest in Russia, has also long been
striving TO excite in the United States this
belief of subservicncy to France. Contradic-
tion has been heaped upon contradiction );
proof multiplied upon proof OF its folly Bus
no the mind malignant and bent upon power
will not yield The liberal Alexander in an
instant rejects the thought, bet the snllen
federalist, like the sullcn Engiishman, remain
unmoved, bound in congenial obstinacy they
are alike impervious to every generous ap.
proach. ps5,
Upon the whole, consider tho develope-
menls produced by the Russian mediation, as
OF the higcst importance TO the country.
consider too hat the transaction in allits parts,
affords to the republican administration the
highcst triumph which its wisdom has yet
had. l. say nothing of the conduct OF. feder-
alism upon other poinis that might be noticed.
l say nothing of its acknowledged leader la
boring with protracted industry, with contl-
dent assertions, with solemn zeal 10 make the
American people believe that .be Emperor of
Russia was wholly unknown in the offer; OF
the kind of aionement due TO the people up
on whom such deception ha. been played off
under the sanction Of his personal respecta-
bili,y and venerable years. J say nothing OF
the conscious rectitude Of the administration
in holding off during the whole summer and
autumn, when means of inevitably confound-
ing their detractors by an earlier exhibition
of these documents were all the while at hand.
The bare limiting of these things will supply
the appropriate reflections TO all who may do
me the honor to read this letter. conclude
with observing, that hencc(,rih when our gov
ernynent may be assailcd upon some other, as
it has been upon this subject, thc people will
have been taught lesson to bear In its de-
fence before they pronounce Judgment. X

Amongst the general observations which the un-

the part of the British government, they remarked
that those propositions founded neither the
basis of ut possdets that of statues ante be

possdetis as the basis on which they were disposed
TO treat, that in the note they expressly stated
that they had been instructed TO conclude peace
ON the principle of both parties restoring whatever
territory they might have taken. The undersigned
also declared in that note, that they had autho-
y TO cede any part OF the territory of the l. Stts,
and that to no stipulation TO that effect would they
subscribe and in the note of the 9th Of September,
after having shown that the basis of uti posside,

the phiiosophic mimi a subject Of deep and

perturbations, they will follow the laws Of
their original projection, and revolye in har-

its strength.
This Confederate republic has since been
rapidly advancing in the road to greatness.
For ? moment, indeed, there seemed to be
an alteration from repubicanism, but the

one mighty effort overwhelmed the monar-
