CONSUL AT LIVERPOOL
The following Communication comes from a
merchant Of this City, who has no manner of per-
sonal interest in the continuance of Mr. Mauyy,
who has never had any dealings with him, but
who knows him well, his character and standing
abroad.-We understand that he expresses t;,s
general sentiments Of the merchants Of this Civ.
Whether there really be any design TO dispIace
MIR. Maury, we have had no means OF ascertain
ing; but il must be strong case, there must be
ohectionsof which we have no sort OF knowledge
which could induce our Government, under such
circumstances, TO ensertan such purpose
To the Editors If the Enqirey.
GENTLEMEH-l observe a letter addressed
from Washington, under date Of April 9Th, to the
Editors Of tho Baltimore Morning Chronicle. In
which il is stated, that there are several applicants
for the lucrative post" Of Consul at Liverpool.
Tothat now important Office, President Wash
ingtoh appointed the present incumbent, James
Maury, ED. Of this State, who has been coptinu
ed by each succeeding Chief Magistrate. The
statement of this fact, makes it, perhaps unneces.
sary TO say, that the duties Of the office have been
ably, faithfully, and successfully performed
Maury great probity Of character, noste nations
department, and pleasing manners, have gained for
him the decided esteem and respect of every man.
whose pursuits have brought him within the
sph sc OF his official influence; and nothing il ba
3arded in saying, that he has given as universal
satisfaction to those Of his Counfrymen, who have
had business with his Office, under any cirr,rm
stances could possibly be DONE.
