LETTERS"
"lndetd | can truly assure you, that
very mark of esteem which | receive from
your countlymen, is peculiarly gratifying
10 me-, for there are few objects nearer tn
my heart than that of promoting a Iliend-
ly disposition reciprocally between rtwo
countries, and in the inhabitants of both, a
first sense of mutual esteem and good will
justly due fon zach towards tn" other
Forgive me, Sir, if | confess to you frank
ly, that, under the influence of these feel
ings, cannot regard your work with the
pleasure which can truly say should re-
ceye from a recital of the gallant deeds Of
your countrymen in any other warfare
The war between our two countries has
ever assumed, to my view, the aspect and
character of civil war. On both sides,
the blood that was shed, was that of mem
brrs of the same family, descended thro'
but a few generations from common
stock and, should say, would TO God
tadt the memory of these h"stIliIies could
be forever oblltrraled, were II not that,
While we may hope the bravery exhibited
On both sides, may have continued IN the
minds Of the two parties respect for each
ohrr, rpcoI ection of thr fatal issue of the
dispute between the two countIirs, may
Produce, in the Councils of both, cenci-
lalory spirit, and care To avoid, AS
far as possible, all tn IS. causes Of differ
ence and of irritation, which led, by de-
Prsa I,.,.Ic,J result
"Yon, Sir, are probably much young
tr man than myself, and, while give you
iah credit for that patriotism which has
caused you 10 take go warm an interest IN
'le military achies ments of your country
men, cherish the hope that, as you ad.
vance 10 years, you will more and more
.nD'be that pacific and friendly spirit he

CORRUPTION IN THE NAVY.

A cas-. has been lately tried at n. York
h.twren Lieut.. Wea, er of the Navy, and
certain smerchants IN that city, ia W ich
the following facts appeared Lieut.. Wea-
ser. being about 10 90 10 Lima in the
Rankin "a, under commodore Stuart, con-
,e.eted with the merchants la convoy
their ship to the franklin, on condition of
his receiving one fifth of the profits of the
~oyase. The object Of this contract was,
thai the ship America might enter bocka-
d,d ports, where she could only be admit
ted under the protection of the Franklin.
The Contract was complied with by Lieut..
Weaver, with the supposed countenance
of com. Stuart, and the lieutenant received
$4,000 AS his share of the profits. lie
tho't this was not us much as the fifth,
which he was to receive, and brought a sali
in chancery f,r the balance. I he chan el-
Ior decided that the contract MAS fraudu-
lent, and amounted To bribery, aud was
therefore void so that the lieutenant must
be satisfied with the snug sum of $4,000,
which he had already received, for prosil-
tuting the American navy. The, following
are extracts from Chancellor Sandtord's
decision -
:" 1t is evident that the object Of this con
tract, was not merely to engage officers Of
the navy to do their duty. For such IA
purpose no contract was necessary. The
object here was To obtain advantages which
could not be obtained, or were not expect
cd without this contract. The special
protection of the ship Franklin, and the
representation that The America WAS a
store ship, bound to the Pacific Ocean
with stores for the Navy of this country,
and that Weaver was an officer of the navy
in charge of such stores, were the objects
for which ii price was To be paid and
these objects were not matters of duty
The particular protection which the ship
Franklin was to afford to a ship and cargo
in which the particular friend Of the com
rander of the Fra kin should be interest
ed, cannot be viewed as a legitimate duty !;
and the continuance by which the Ameri-
ca was To be represented as store ship Of
the United States, was d fraudulent dis
guise. Acts like this were not acts of pub
lie duty nor did these merchants agree
with Weaver that they should pay, or that
he should receive large portion OF the
profits ofiheir adventure To Lima, as a COM
pensation for the discharge of any public
duty. The object of this contract was
wholly foreg To any such duty.
The America was not store ship of
the United State, and the exprdIent Of
sending some stores of the navy in thai
ship, was evidently adopted To CONCEAL
faIsehuod, under sune colour of truth, and
10 give to the America and her Cargo the
gase Of public property of the U. States.
This continuance was fraud upon the U.
States, their public service and their sove.
reignty fraud upon the rights Of other
nations and fraud in all respects. The
contract exhibits this artifice in its naked
character of fraud"

there were capacities also to the Moon, as He
