him with the jurisprudence Of the coun-
try and with the details of its civil admin
istration and, by the performance of the
duties of the department of state which
were assigned to him during the absence
of Mr. Adams. he has had an opportu-
nity of acquiring an exact and practi-
cal knowledge of our diplomatic rela-
lions.
Mr.. T. unites the scholar, The lawyer
and the politician his feelings are all
American in his habits he displays the
dignifed simplicity which becomes the
citizen of an enlightened and viriuous re-
public; and in his domestic circle he is
remarkable for all those amiable vir-
tues, which, by adjoining the character of
ihe man, embellish that of the hero or the
sage.
With all its fondaess for pomp, there is
no nation in which the character of such
an individual will attract more respect and
esteem than in that to which Gas the re-
port says) MIR. Rush rs 10 be sent. In that
country too, he will derive an additional
welcome because of the high regard in
which his excellent father (the late Doct.
Rush, was held by the literary and scien-
tifc world.
Though, perhaps, neither the talents
NOT TIE virtues Oh any munster whom we
could send, can have much influence over
the state policy of the British Government,
yet these circumstances cannot be entire
ly without weight in the minds of the Bri-
fish Ministers, who, after all are but men ;
and they will be still more efficient in Civ
ing favorable bias to the opinion of the
English people. We think, therefore, that
there is every reason to expect the most
satisfactory result from the mission of
Mr.. Rush, Georgetown Messenger.
