The suPpOsiton in your letter as to the i'm
pressions under which representations of frau

grounded-That is, that the approximations
have OVERCOME the real misdeangs in this i'm
stance. 1t is true. the time has not been suf-
fcent to allow all the arrangements which
might perhaps be conceived TO elude the in

TO report, that nothing has appeared here to
countenaDce the suspicion in a single instance.

tremendous vicissitudes by which power has
been usurped and lost duri,g thirty years in
Europe, with the gloomy tragedies which have
been acted. or are still acting, OIL that theatre
of blood--the state of our happy country is a
subject of Just triumph and grateful acknow-
ledgement-A view of our happy condition,
and the feelings of gratitude rising in my bo-
som. in contemplating the miseries of other
nations, and comparing our fortunate allot-
ment with theirs, has hurried me beyond
my usual moderation. These reflections are
not, however, altogether misplaced-much of
our prosperity and happiness, under heaven,
is owing to the freedom of our government,
and the just and liberal policy of our admins
trations.-1hc presence of the three illustrious
Citizens who have had for many years past an
important concern in the management of the
public affairs of our country, naturally eXcites
panegyric an that popular form of government
which enables the public to command such ia.

healthiDess of the country around II, and es-

walked up ladder. placed in the cistern
for that purpose; by the time he got his
head above the cistern, his strength was
exhausted, and he fell TO the bottom with
Mr.. Jackson, both of whom were sufFoca-
