of the very name OF liberty and revolution,
Contracted by these Ill beral men ever Since
they heard them associated with the name
Of PrfiicLncE. This, / am well convinced,
is the real cause OF their rancour against
France and America, Doth of which, rs they
constantly show, they would gladly see us-

MIR. JOHN CARTwRIGHT, who is gene
rally called Major Cartwright, from his ha-
wing been Major in the Northamptonshire
militia, who quilted the service as Leu
tenant of the navy. in the wear 1775 or 1875,
because he would not fight against what he
deemed the cause of freedom who to the
age OFFS, has persevered for 40 years. ard
still perseVeres, in unremittcd endcavors to
obtain a reform in Parliament this ven
cradle patriot. beloved by all who know
him for his gentle and amiablc manners.
and honOred for his talents aud integrity G.
ven by those who are the enemies of his
political principles, seeing the danger of IN
vasion on the part of France, in the year
1908, and seeing the government in great
consternato on as to securing the means of
defence, re publ she a work which he had
published some time before. entitled Enc
LANDS EGIs, a copy of which he sent to
all the members of the royal family, 10
all the minister's, and many other men of
weightin the country. To this work,
copy of which he sent to MIR. BTlftHc7p
Carey, of Philadelphia Ibeg leave to call
your attention. In some OF its details, it
cannot be adopted by YOU, on account of ,hc
difference in the division of the territory &
of the civil authorities CT the two countries.
But, It's objects being to put the country in
a situation 70 be able, ct all times, todefcld
itself against any enemy, however numerous
and valiant, without standing army, and
without regular soldiers its basis being the
dHty Of arms bearing inseparablV from the
right u TrfresentGti0R in The ierisIoture.
it appears to me, that all lis hrincifira and
all its outlines are exactly suited TO your
case.
In the hope that what have said may
awaken amongst you some portion of that
serious reflection whca the subject demands,
and in the stronger hope, that you will d.
rive great and useful information from the
work ct Mr.. Cartwright, l remain your
friend,

p. S.-S.nce writing the above, the heace
between America and the Algerine Dew,
has been announced as Report. PERHAPS
your Commodore had authority to mal:e
peace. Certainly, with such a power. can
non balls are the best nc gotiators. Wheth
er the pirates W ii abide by the treaty or
not, II it has been made, your government
has done itself great honor in the affair
This event will not, however, give satisfac
lion all over tic zvorld. Alg;eTs was a sort
OF CIR to be set on rs occasion may REQUIRE.
However, you have broken his Jaws, and
made him retire to his den for lie present.
This is truly noble use to make of naval

fame, to give pleasure to your friends, and
to add to the modification and vinIictiye-
ness Of your cnemiss.-I do not believe the
news. But, if it be true, here is another
thing which Mr.. NJ ,dis>n has accomyI sh-
ed previous to his being "deho8ed."
