FROM NORTH C.4R0LLN:a

TO TIE EDITORS OF THE ENQUIRER
SIRs-fo our friend put into my hand your
paper of the 18th inst. and perhaps he could
not have put 1t into the hands of more pro-
per pcrson.-lt was in consequence of pub
iIcatIon in that paper, respecting The statue OF
washington, Ia communication from \. Ca
rolina.)
When the resolution passed, AUDITORIUM. the
purchasing and procuring a statue of Wash
lnSton, authorizing the governor to purchase
such statue, he Immediately wrote to Mr.
Jefferson, requesting him TO inform him of the
expense OF the statue in the Capitol of Virgi-
MA; and to recommend the best mode of pro
curing statue Of him--was replied 10 by Mr.
Jeiierson-I will not say that recollect ncr-
fcctly the words OF that GREAT MAN. hut il sta
ted that the statue of Washington, in the Ca
pitol OF Richmond, was made at Paris from
Marble brought from italy--that the expense
oil bringing the Marble from Italy, and trans
hiittilS the statue TO seaport, was excessive
and recommending the employment Of the
Marquis ofCanova, who had long expressed
wish 10 execute such n work, because he
was IN the neighbOrhood of the Marble. which
had IN the former instance been carried to Pa
rls, and the statue would be carried from a port
IN italy, II believe LeghOrn,) at much less cx-
| pense than that which occurred in the reno
val OF the statue at Richmond, down the Seine
and from seaport of France to America. Tie
also recommended to the Governor. to cor
respond with Mr.. Appleton, consul at Leg
horn, on the subject.
| Never did see more Lucid letter than that
of Mr.. Jefferson, in which he recommends
Canova as the first artist in the world (which
opinion, is supported by many writers.)
The governor Immediately wrote To Mr.
Appleton, pointing out the mode he wished
the statue to be formed, (almost agreeable to
the wishes of your correspondent
In reply to which, Mr.. Appleton stated the
opinion of NJ. Canova, that the modern cos
tune was unlavorable to the artist, aud pro
posed the antique-to winch the governor re-
Piled, that the artist was at liberty TO use hi,
own discretion.
| AS to the remarks respecting the statue il
the Capitol, must confess, (athough hay,
often seen it, that I think it is the most forna
thing have seen either in painting, Or statu
airy.
1.-THE statue is not likeness of Washington
as has been insinuated,) the then governor o
n. Carolina is not chargeable with it, for on
the writer of this recommending to send ;
likeness, he said, that NIr. Appleton assure,
him there was an excellent likeness of him il
Italy.
