than MIR. Rush, who has recently returned
from England to assume the Office of Secre-
tary Of the Treasury. At Philadelphia. his
native city, he has been received with the
warmest affection, and on the Goth uIt. was
honoured with a public dinner, at which
ChiefJustice Tighman presided, and at which
Gen. La Fayette, the venerable Bishop
White, Richard Peters, and other distinguish
ed gentlemen, were present. SC The crowd
ing round Mr.. Rush, says a paper of that
city, the shaking of hands, and the heart
felt greetings, which occupied the time before
dinner, were gratifying evidences of the gene
raj esteem and friendship which is felt for him,
and the JOY experienced at his return.'' The
following paragraph from the London Courier,
will shew the estimation in which he was
held in that country.
YesterdayMr. Rush, who has been for the
last seven years Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentary from the United
States of America to the British Court, (and
who has only been recalled at bis own earnest
solciiation) embarked with his amiable lady
and family for New-York. Mr.. Rush. during
his long and important mission to this country.

sell the unqualified esteem of, and gave the
highest satisfaction TO, both Governments. a

Pennsylvania and Nelc- York.--A spirit Of ri
, valry appears to exist between these two
States, but particularly in the metropolis of
each, which to US at distance appears but
little credtable. Is it not Npride and boast
enough'' that God and nature, and the enter
prize of their citizens, have made them what
: they are, without exhibiting to the world the
some time since, statement of the number of
houses erecting in New-Yorl1 was published.
] whether true or false we know not but the
rhliadelphians doubted and denied it, appa-
rently for no better reason than that they
could not muster an equal number in their own
city. Philadelphia has no great canal like
: New Y ork. That New-York should congrat-
f ulate herself on the advantage she possesses,
5 is natural, but the Pennsylvanians complain
: that she wakes fat, and manifests towards them
the spirit of Jeshuran. In an article in New
York paper, it was threatened, that fthe leg

New-York Coal Company, they would Gu:

and leave Philadelphia high and dry,--whioh
T would be great affection indeed. But, saws

e gentlemen, if our commissioners on internal
Improvements do their duty, and we have no
doubt they will, we will tap your great canal,
and bring the trade of your fine Genessee
country down the Susquehannah, through the
e great valley, TO our own emporium, which, in
a a century hen ce, as well as now, will equal
your grand city, in every thing but--puffng. -
Now this looks spirited, but little too much
Y like being out of humour. 1t has a bad ap-
e pearance in individuals when they grow ieal-
i GUS of each others prosperity, and express
their feelings in angry, haunting words, and not
less when two of the most powerful States in
the Union contend for individual SUPREMACY.
ifPennsylvania has reason to repine at herlot,
how much more has old Massachusetts. which
had arrived at maturity while the former was
in her cradle, and thirty years ago possessed
) greater population than New-York, bu. is
now left lar behind them both? Yet Massa-
chusetts is prosperous and contented, and if
her neighbours outstrip her in wealth or num-
beers, think Of it only as the effect of natura,
causes which Providence has ordained.
