whom we most love, i;i the paths of know I dg ■
aud virtue; 01 having stoicd their minds with tli •
inestimable treasures of science and literature; and

•il l import men with the aitniunicut ot the means

that we may aid in teaching other* the true road
both to temporal g<H>d, and eternal felicity, is the
•vieat end ol our existence on Kai tlr, and wo shall
all lose or gain happiness, exactly in proportion ns
we neglect, or fultil,this great practical duty. No
excuse of xveaiine.-s in well doing;— no subterfuge
id ignorance and dilliculty; no plea of powerful
tepiptatiun* to Hdlndi itidulgeucies—no allotted
"ant ol opportunity, "ill av..il any thing, at this
, 1 *>* day of awful account, when it shall be de
manded of us.—“ where are the talents confuted
in you;—what hove you done with them?—in
what it--ptrt have they bent fill d either yourselves
oi others by their application”?—Ales', my
thoughtless, unreflecting hearers, can nothing as
sure you that such questions will certainly bo pro
pounded to you at .-oino tiiuo oi other; — possibly
Within the next 21 hour-; and that too, hr lure a
ttihunal where tiue answers must be given; and
where endless, iiidcvuibable puni-huicnt will as
surely follow your holme to have used these la
hints tor all the proposes to which they should
httve been applied, ai that death follows life? Oh!
how shall I persuade you, if still incredulous, of
this most inomcutouw truth? Have you yet re
« eivod it into your heart*, or must I say of you,
' it ye believe not this, neither would ye believe,
though one lose from the dead" to proclaim it
toy*.?
Having endeavoured to show you, not only how
; bu might profitably refresh your minds with
,l,n recollectiou oi your acquirements in science
aiul literature, but how to apply such reminis
cence* ti» salutary ends; let me add one cnuliou,
lest you estimate your gains more highly, than
they deserve. Y ou will effectually guard against
this danger, il you will only call to mind some lew
<>l the many celebrated, illustrious women whose
names adorn the pages of history; and who have
most disiingoishe-ii themselves tor literary and sei
en-iuc^ acquirement- Take, for example, Lady
•lane Grey,— Maiia G-r(ana Agnesi, aud Elizabeth
-Smith, and then compare their acquisition with
your own. Ol the first it is recorded,—that sho
discoveied an caity piopcnsity to all kinds of good
literature; and having a line genius, improved un
der the tuition ol a Mr. Elmer, she made a most
etti prising pi ogress in the languages, aits and sci
j-ncos. She understood perfectly, both kinds ol
> i ilosophy, and coul-i express hcrselt very proper
ly*—*1 least iu the Latin and Greek longues. She
was also well versed in Hebrew, Chaldee, Arabic,
ricncli an<l Italian—played well on instrumental
music, w iote ;w curious hand, aud was excel
lent at her needle.”—I l,e same writer tells
us, that she accompanied her musical instru
ments with a voire exqui-iit-ly sweet in it
sett, assisted by all the graces that art coul.1 bes
tow. It is lai ther ad-ted,—*• that her most ex
« client and amiable qualities had rendered herdear
to all w ho had the happiness to know her. For
simplicity of manners, purity oi hcatt, and exten
sive learning she was hardly' ever equalled in any
age oi country.” Ai.d yti, ail “this she became
it the early age ol lei, when she was lx headed by
that ruthless,blood-thirsty tyrant,the English Queen
Mary.”—Her magnanimity “ (>ays the Histori
an)‘‘in this drcadlul catusti uplie, was astonishing.
Immediately before her execution, she addressed
hcrsell to the weeping multitude with amazing
composure and coherency;—nnd died in charity
with that wretched \\ orid,which sho had so much
j*cason to execrate ”
Maria Gict-ina Agnesi was an Italian Lady so
celebrated lor her great merit, and her many vir
tues, that she was made mathematical Professor
i":i Uie University of Bologna by Benedict the 1-lih.
She died about 1770, aged 52, universally respect
ed; and her analytical Institutions have been trans
lated both into French and English.
^ In regard to the character of Miss Elizabeth
.(tilth, 1 have been so struck,—so deeply impress
ed with its very uncommon excellence, that 1 can
r.?f,a‘u *rom X"*11" you several extracts from
hoi life by Mrs. Bo wilier, iu the hope of tempting
£’«ju to buy tho Book us soon as possible. Theie
;s r.o Biography iu our language from the peiusal
T of which 1 verily believe you could duiive half
tho benefit. In the letter ront-iiiiiug an ac
count ofher death, at the early ago of 29, Mrs.
Rowdier thus addresses Ur. ftlums.-cn of Altoua:
, ** 1 he lovely young creatuie on whose account
» first applied (o you, had been for above a year,
gradually declining, and on the 7th of August, j
iSOG, sho resigned her pure spit it to tho God who j
gavo it. Her character was so extraordinary, and ]
she was so very dear to tne, that 1 hope, you will 1
forgive iny dwelling a little longer oil my ir- j
ippuriiblo loss. Her person and manners were ex- |
(rexnely pleasing,with a pensive softness oi counte
nance that indicated deep reflection; hut her ex
treme timidity concealed the most extraordinary
iareutslhat ever tell under iny observation. With
scarcely any assistance, she taught herself the
wrench, Italian, Spanish, German, Latin,Greek
and Hebrew. Languagn. She had no inconsid-j
erablo knowledge ot Arabic S. Persic. She was !
well acquainted w ith Gcomeliy, Algebra, and I
other branches of M athcinaticks. Slio was u vo- |
ry-fine Musician. She drew' landscapes from na- •
ture-extremcly well, and was a mistress of perspec
tive. She showed an early taste for l’oelry,of
which some specimens remain; but i believe she
destroyed ino-t ot the ellu.-tons ot her youthful ]
muse, when at; acquaintance w ith your great Pu—i |
iiilopstork, and slid more, w hen the sublime com- j
positions ol die Hebrew Bai ls, gave adi'Erent I
11° lier thoughts. W ith till ;ho-e acquirements,
-he was perfectly feminine in her dispositions; el
vgant, modest, gentle and affectionate, nothing
u'js neglected which a woman ought to know; no
duty was omitted, which her situation in life re
quired her to perform. But, the part ot her char
rcleron which 1 dwell with the greatest -ati-fac- !
(ion, is that exalted piety*, v. inch seemed always (
ta raise her above this World; and taught her, at
sixteen years of age, to resign its riches and its !
pleasures, almost without regrr't, and to support !
with dignity a very unexpected change of situa
^i°®- I'or some years before her death, tho Holy
Scripture was her principal study, and she trans- j
lated from the Hebrew the w hole Book of Job,
&c. &.c.— How far she succeeded iu this attempt,!
l am not qualified to judge- but the benefit w hich
9.io herielt deiivrd from these studies, must be ev- j
t .eld to those who witnessed the patience nnd re— j
signaliou with which she supported a long and .
painful illness,—the sweet attention which she al
ways shmved to the feelings ol her parents anil
Btends,—and the heavenly composure with which
•he looked forward to tl.e aWful change which has
now removed her to a World,where fas one of her ;
friends observes,) her gentle, pure, nod enlighten
ed spirit will find .itself more at home, than iu this J
land of shadows.”
The follow ing ia the Doctor’s reply to this af- 1
lecting letter:
J.et me Heartily sympathise with yon, dear 1
Madam, in your sorrow. Tho losiyou have sut- !
ti red is great, is irrevocable in this World- i'he ’
1 ccount you gave me'of die extraordinary char- ;
utter of your iate angelic friend, lias tilled my 1
l*rea«t with admiration and awe. I have read your j
letter with teari. So many accomplishments, nut* !
uraI and ntotal,—soimich of science, erudition,1
and eminence of rare talents,combined .vith grace,!
w ith gentleness, and all the virtues that adorn the
female mind ! it is tvondeiful, snd cannot be e
n/ugh admired. ftreat, indeed, must have been
yjur happiness in the po.«*e?*iuii of this treasure.—
Alas! the g ntle spirit that moved her tender limbs,
Is now divested ol i(s morful garment, and goue to
,nin Its kindred Angels j”
’’ Hut. I think her happy in this our period; for,
what ran be more fortunate on earth, than to (all
<iito thu hands ol the virtuous; and freo from eon
tact of a corrupt'd race, irt make her passage over •
our unlucky pland, pure and immaculate,ansi with
the ret>e of innocenee appear be foie tier i reaioi' J
i o taste r.ll the sweets of icioncc and ail, and ha v- !
ing satisfied all honest d"sire«, remove from the j
feast of life with gratitude? ’Tig a consummation
devoutly to be wished.”
In a letter of the I’ v. f>r T* mdntph to her !
Mother, persuading her to furnish materials tor her
v«. ho thus writes : — “ Lfiit the plant von hail the
happiness to rear in the moral garden of life, (tho’
alas! of short duration,) o*Li>ited such a fuxuii*
» ferptne,*nj a vi - 'jr eictcd
ing the otdiuary growth ol intellect, that it ►reins
•i duty you o-.vo to Society, to mark the* several
■••’’•iti* mil stage* of its advancement to such early
ii iturity
*• 1 see you start at the prop««al I am about <o J
make ; but the papers now before me, noi .
only sci .-} to increase my admiration of your he- |
:ovcd child, hut c.uviuce uir, the more ( read i
dii'in, that she who is gone, ought to live in uni- ‘
versa I remembrance; that over such a grave grief
should trot he dumb; and that the World, deprived
I by her death of one of it* bughtest ornaments, has
; a claim to every memorial of her exalted worth
| and talents, to show the unthinking crowd what
; may be done,and to hold forth an example of what
| has been June, eveu in so short a spare of time, by
I fulfilling the duties of a Christian life, xnd the piir
I poses of rational existence.”-—
“ Every' page I unfold, fills me with fresh as
tonishment, and when I recollect the evidence oi
your Daughter's attainments, within the short pe
riod of her earthly existence; when I combine
I the graces of per.-ou, and the elegance of accom
plishments. with her more noble and higher dis
| tinctions of intellect, I sr.cm to lose sight of what
I once adorned society, aud to be traciug a lortn of
■ ideal perfection.”
“ Over eveiy thing she touches, she seems to
spread a new charm; and whether she furnishes
materials Irom her own capacious minr1. or draws
them bom the -tores of others, there is a choice Cl
arrangement, which evinces the soundest judg
ment, as wt-ll as the sweetest imagination. Her
leelingn are exquisite, but never romantic; and in
the flight of her most excursive fancy, she keeps
within the hounds ot truth and taste.- In all that
| die invents or describes, nothing is overcharg
ed or unnnatural. Her pm, like Iter pen
cil, places every object in the most pleaning
point ol view; aud the delicacy of her thonghts
u even heightened by the purity,—1 may say pi
ety, of the expression* in which they are
| conveyed. In her various translations from thc<
I Herman, and other languages, most of which 1
have comp;tw>d with the different Authors, she ne
ver mistakes or weakens the spirit of the original
lvlopstock under her management, talks English
as well as his native tongue; and the warmest of
his adinir jrs would rejoice to hear the facility and
preci-ion with which she lias taught their favorite
i'oet and Philosopher to converse among us.— Of
her Hebrew versions, of which I would not allow
myself to be a competent Judge, I can now *peak
iu the strongest terms of praise, from the testimo
ny of some ol our best Hebrew Scholars, to whom
the Hook of Job has been more particulaily sub
mitted.”
1 o the foregoing admirable culogium I will add
only one more, and thin is irom the pen of Mrs.
E. Hamilton of Edinburg;
“ It was not on a first acquaintance that Mias
Smith's extraordinary qualities were to be appre
ciated. She did not emit those brilliant flashes
which daz/.lo the imniagination; and so superior
were the native graces of her mind to the orna
ments which embellished it, that acquirements,
which in others would have been admired a* as
tonishing, were iu her, eomotitnes almost unob
served. I'o those who had been accustomed to
contemplate the possessor of genius 0r learning
ra ised upon the pedestal of vanity, and extor
ting the homage >f applause from all beholden
the simplicity, to which all ostentatious display
was nohorre.nt, would have appeared as a defect,
and therefore it'u not surprising that her merit
should have been sometimes overlooked. Hut
whoever compared it with a higher standard, than
that of the world, must have been sensible of its
near approach to perfection; aud while they be
stowed on her character the admiration so justly
due, they would be led to reflect with gratitude
; that the model on which all her virtues were
younded, is within the reach of all u-ho with c
: quill Sincerity endeavour to mould themselves to
its likeness.”
Now .let mo entreat you. my young friends, not
to shrink from tho comparison which I have re
commended, of your ou-'ii acquirements with
those of the admirable women just described, and
especially ofthe last, whose character I most ear
nestly exhort and entreat you,always to keep before
you, ,.s the.very perfection of female loveliness,
i uiitl excellence. Although such comparison will
certainly repress ail vanity, it should also encour
age hope, by the con.ideration that what has been
dime by individuals of vour own sex, may be done
a^am; and consequently, that none need despair
who felt conscious both of the desire and the pow
er to acquire knowledge, it is not necessary that
you should be able accurately to measure this
power:—its existence, and the steady, earnest
inclination to apply—to exercise it, is all of which
you need be certain. Not that I would have any
ol iny present hearers calculate on becoming JLa
dy Jane Ureys, Maria Agnosia, or Elizabeth
Smiths; for there may be too much, as well as too
tittle use made of books. Not only their kinds,
hut the extent to which they should be studied,
ought to depend on the respective ages at which
you begin really to study, and the future rircuin
slanccs ol life in which you are likely to be placed.
•V .my of you will probably have to spend the
gi eater part of your time in tho discharge of those
active domestic duties which preclude the oppor
tunities for much reading; and be it ever re/nem
bcreJ, that however strong may be your inclina
tion for books, the call ol those necessary duties
must be preferred and first obeyed. Again, the
very late period at which some of you have com
menced study', and the very short time which is
usually allowed in this country at least, for fe
male education, would render utterly unattainable
such acquirements as were made by the celebra
tes ladies jii-t mentioned, even, if you had talents
and genius far surpassing what you really possess.
l«ut thus far all of y-,u may /;o with absolute cer
tainty ol considerable success. Vou may'diligent
ly employ every moment not devoted toother ne
cessary duties, in ndding continually to your stock
of intellectual treasure; and ueinerot’s instances
might be adduced by way of encouragement, of
-clt-taught scholars,rvho under the greatest di-ad
vantages ot poverty, ill-health, want of looks and
leisure, have attained a degree of eminence in
ah useful and ornamental knowledge, entirely in
cn dible to the lazy, stupid, a id worthless sons and
daughters of wilful ignorance. None in the pre
hmes, still less can you, my young hearers,
plead the want of opportunity to gain much useful
learning; for you have been sedulously placed in
tho way ol it by those who are most interested in
your welfare and happiness. Neglect this and you
incur the double guilt of not seeking, and at the
same time rejecting ibis great and easily attains
bte good. Easy it certainly h, compared with the
<.i..icuuy of the acquisition in former times; for not
only are schools and book* greatly multiplied, but
<tiiiong the latter are to be found nuinerouxnnd ex

learning, now become so cheap, a* to be arcesei

tainty too, you piobatdy anticipate tilut ilie meet

you never asked yourselves, e briber you deserve
; that it should be »o ? Have no dcubiM nor lV.tri
lever crossed your minds, lest these fi lends and
relatives should have cause 40 receive you with
less warmth of affection than Touucrly .* Or, are
yon fully confident that the pleasure of merely
seeing you once more, will be too great to admit
ot any abatement from thu apprehension of your
having entirely neglected all their parting inlvire
when you came here; and disregarded every means
of impioveineiit which have been so continually
proffered to your acceptance ? Do you think it
possible that these dear connexions,—especially
your parents, (ifyou have any.) can be fo un
concerned for your welfare,—so regardless of
your conduct,—so little anxious about your prin
cipIcF, as to feel lor you the same love and eflec
lion, should you yourselves be utterly negligent &.
reckless on a«i these points, that they would do,
were you always endeavouring to prove \our
attachment to them by the earuestnoss of your
cea! in pursuit ofknowledge; by your exempla
ry deportment in other families than you own; &.
by tho purity ot your lives and conversation ?
Dear children, it 1» utterly impossible, whatever
you may think of their hJiiiunesg to your faults;
their readiness to forgive all against which they
can not shut their eyes,and the invincible strength
ol their love. There is that heaven-implanted
principle in every good Parent's heat t,—forming
a part of its very essence, and expiring only with
the last throb of mortal existence, which keeps
them tremblingly alive to all that concerns their
children, and so unceasingly anxious fur their
welfare and happiness, as lotnaki- their characters
and conduct tho all-absorbing object of tlieir con
stant solicitude. Exactly in proportion then, as
you are careless and culpable,— pcrvor«e and vl
cious, will be the pain veil will inflict on your
dearest connexions, and the anguish with which
you wtll wring their bosoms, a»*o»n a* they be
come sensible how far you have deviated from the
paths of rectitude;—if indeed, so great a misfor
tune has befallen any of you. Much sincere joy
may be felt and ok pressed when you first meet;
but be not deceives! ;it mtut inevitably be of short
duration, in be succeeded by yet deeper misery
and woe, should your return to thrni soon evince,
that you have gained nothing by youi long ab
sence, but unainiable temper?, rude manners, bait
habits, and still worse principles. 1 will hopo and
believe that no such event will happen to either
ol you; but still, you may derive no small benefit
fiom dwelling awhile, upon the danger to which
you are ail expo-ed of realizing so groat a calam
ity. should you continue to indulge in any bad
leeun^g or practices whatever. 1 know well th.«t
very few thing, are harder, than to convince you
ol this danger; for altho’ as real a. lile itself, it i.
visible only to those who are undergoing, or have
already undergone the pang, of self-coudemua
lion for sin. committed; and have repeatedly ex
perienced in their own caca, the infirmity of our
nature,—the instability of all human resolves,—
and the insecurity ot all human virtue. These
ate matters on which lew,—if any of you, I fear,
have over bestowed enough erious reflec’ion to
bo aw.m* that 1 place before you nothing hut the
plain, sober, -oleum truth, when I urge you suof
ten to be continually on your guard, (however
unexceptionable your present feelings and con
ductmay be,) against the approaches ofitntnoiahly
end vice: because the various disguises winch they
a*Mime are always adapted to the situations and
characters of their intended victims, who are ne
ver beyond the reach ot tempt.itiou until death
itselt excludes its assaults. To you who have
been brought up by teuder, affectionate paieuis;
or very near connexions, with all the solicitude
and anxiety ol pareutal love;—who have been
nurtured and cherished with unremlttcd care; and
who have been so supremely fortunate, as seldom
or never to have been exposed to the influence of
very had example, vice and immorality will never
appear in any lorm but to excite either disgust or a
larm. They will often steal upon your ear in note-j6
soft and sweet as the melody of the /fcmlian Harp;
they will delight your eyes with colours glowing
and lovely,as those of the rainbow; and will charm
your imagination with eloquence as seductive as
the syren’s soug. But beware,—for hcavrn’s sake
beware of their first approaches. Your good
Iriend conscience,—which is but another name
for the vojee of God, is ever on the watch lor
your happiuess, and will never fail to give you
timely warning ot every danger, provided you
will always keep your ears open to lier soul-sav
ing intimation. Ail you will have to do, is to o- :
bey her dictates promptly and implicitly,—praying !
to God without ceasing, that her heavenly light
may never be withheld. Whenever she says— ^
“ not—see not—taste net—touch not,”—»bun
the prohibited object, no matter whul it may be,
as you would fl*e Iroin the gulf of destruction, if
it suddenly yawned at your feet.
Bear yet a little longer, 1 beseech you, with
my admonitory, faicwel! cautions; since all of,
them are for your own ultimate benefit. All lend
to one momentous point—ttie continual and useful
occupation of your whole time, and the awful
peril winch unceasingly hangs—like the sword of
Damocles, suspended by a single hair,—over the
heads ol all who dare to neglect it. As every
honr may be your last, you should ever consider
Lie present, as the only one of which you ran I
make sure. In tho language ol the eloquent Bi- •
■hop Hcber, you may always say with the most I
perfect truth, in regard to time:
“ One h"ur rrmsinj,—there ubut car,
l!ut Buujf • •hritk, iU'1 nunjr a (enr,
Through Riidlra, jreiji tlnr guilt u>u»t aura.

Mast sincerely do I wish you a happy meeting
with your relatives and fiicnds; but to render tin
pleasure* experienced by both parties Id.-iing,
other course of conduct on your part can possibly
Answer, but such as. 1 have recommended; and
hence rny great solicitude to prevail on you to fo;.
ow tuy advice. Ketiect now, maturely and deep
ly, on all that you may have thought, *aid, or don*
unce you were last at home, with a view to avoid
what was wrong, and to pursue, with renovaio.i
aruor, all that was tight. Do this, as far as yo..
are able, and meet the doare-t objects of your af
fection wlivn, and where you may, all will be
peace icithuii and without—you will have the
laircst projects this world affords of lasting
happiness; lor you will have done all bat duly re
quires and religion enjoins to sccute it. You will
have acted well your parts, so far as you had
means und opportunities;—jon will have studied
earnestly and sinccroiy, “to gain the prize of you.
1 K l r®^,nS» by a tiff of faith and holine**; and
actfUraiJIy, M f*nl will reward you seven fold into
your bosoms » Do this, and tba sight of home
will be as cheering to your hearts, a* delightful to
your eyes. Your return will be accompanied by
no doubts or misgivings in regard to the kind ol
reception winch await* you; lor you will bt greet
ed by all with unalloyed pleasure. I lie cordial
gratuh.lion of intimate acquaintance;—the warm
embrace of early, much attached friend*;—the
still deeper affection of near and dear relatives
will nil bo your own. Should there be parents
among them, you may r**liz<- one of the sweetest
—tl.o purest of all earthly enjoyments,—f/iaf of a
ju<'ly beloved child once more pressed to the pa
i enlal bosom, after a long absence spent it, con
Stant—earnest—persevering endeavors, to render
herself still more worthy ol that aflecii.in which
none but parents can feel;—of that happiness
which none but such children are capable of ie
riprocahng.
And now, my dear young friends, nothing re
mam* but to bid you farewell. Should we live lo
meet at another time, rest assured that I shall feel
the *amo interest in your welfare, that I do at (his
moment. But, if we are never to see each other
again, on (hi* side of the grdVs, then let my ble*«

Hear S{r:—Permit me, in th«' undi-eui-ed

at not meeting you in the Senate Chamber this
morning. I regret your ahseuce, not only on ac
count of the pie.iAtre 1 had some time siuce anti
cipated by co-operating with you in pursuing such
measures as might.be deemed best calcul.itcd to
l>ioiuo’e the general welfare; -ut on account ol
the. actual loss our country has sustained in beins
deprived ot your important services; at the mo
nient too, when it stands most in need of them.
I also regret to iind that the purity and disin
terestedness of the motives which dictated your
late public conduct, and which, with great plea
sure can 1 attest, should not have shielded you uom
the most unmerited reproaches.
But, in times, like these, when the passion-arc
stimulated into action by so many concurring
causes, truth and justice seem lobe totally di
regarded, and private character to be the spoil ot
parly sensibility. Indeed, the holy temple itself
does not seen, too sacred tor profanation by the
mad ambition of infuriated demagogues. I confi
dently hope, however, that our couutry will not
long sustain the loss ol your able and unremitted
exertions in its favor; but that, as soon as (lie pub
lic delusion shall have vanished, you will again
appear upon the theatre of public life, supported
by »n increased confidence of tbe Nation, and
thus enabled to render It still gi eater services
than you have heretofore dene. A confidence ne
cessarily resulting from the tirnr,judicious, and
independent conduct you have lately manifested,
not only to the American people, but to the world.
If.' ple.is d, sir, to accept assurances ol niy high
consideration and sincere personal regard, k.r.

Dkar Sir:—The enclosed letter uot having
been forwarded by yesterday's mail, I now do my
self Urn honor of sending you therewith the Mes
sage ol the Picsidcot ol the U. States.
The papers accompanying it are now in course
df reading. They are highly important, but far
from presenting to us any flattering prospects, &.c.
Accept, sir, my best wishes, kc.

Wabhinotox, Dec. IT, 1808.
Dear Sir: 1 have designedly delayed answering
your friendly and interesting letter of the —, un
til i could accompany the reply with some obser
vations I felt my-clt bound to make in your justiti
cate .I. a few days since. Indeed u»y principal ob
ject in rising was to defend you against the most il
liberal and unmerited reproaches. 1 wish 1 may
have performed this agreeable task to your satis
faction; if 1 have tailed of success, it was not for the
want ol goo.l intention. The accompanying speech
will give, you lull information upon that ~ul»ject.
In my lbrtncr speech, lot warded to you some days
since, you may probably tint) some unexpected ob
servations upon the subject of French and British
tolluvtice. No disclosures whatever will be made,
nmier any circumstances, beyond those contained
n,y remarks. 1 may even therein have been
impelled too far—but the time having arrived
when it became necessary to repel the idle tale of
French influence,by some counteracting influence,
the occasion was too invitin® of makiug the intima
tions 1 did, to be resisted. The source of my infor
mation is not known, and 1 believe not suspected.
1 have fully appreciated your motives for retire
ment, hut it would have given me great pleasure,
in these trying times, to have had your co-operati
on. It would have attorned you, too, an opportu
nity of polling your unjust and illiberal adversaries,
by holding up their vicious passions to public view
aud public indignation. Such is the uncertainty of
the course proposed to be pursued, that you will
not be able to satisfy yourself in that respect, by
tile strictest attention to my observalioits. My own
impressions, at present are, that the embargo laws
should be amended, aud eitiorced till some time in
the bpring, to talce the chances of events in Eu
rope; tu the meantime to put the nation in a state
of defence, and, as a substitute lor the embargo, to
call the who!, energy of the nation into action.—
This course will be extremely popular to the south.
11 you should have a leisure moment, may 1 hope
that you will employ it in giving me your views ol
this project?
Be pleased, s:r, to accept assurance of ray high
consideration and regard, fLc.

citudc. 1 mini,.at- the mo.it serious lestilts from

changed its views of our foreign relations since th.
Ia.it session, which I am told is not the case: oi,
if any change exii-ts, it is not for the better. W ill
you he good enough to give me your views of thi
subject? You wifi probably h ive seen before ill
time the invidious attack made on you by Mi
Bickering, and my reply Since that time lie ha.-,
under the garb ol humility and condescension, ir
iterated most of iny observations in the Henate, and
renewed his attack on you in another form, pro
fessing at the same lime to be perfectly exempt
from any personal hostility. His exhibition in
reading over my remarks without any recritnina
tion, and merely *.vith the object of demonstrating
that he was entiiely destitute of the passions I had
ascribed to bun, you may better conceive than I
can describe. I have availed myself ot a leisure
moment to apprise you of these circumstances, and
to forward you the accompanying paper, which
you will find contains evidence of a fact bcarra®
essentially upon Mr. Pickering’s statement, res
peering the inducement to the original embargo

NEW-YORK ELECTIONS.
From the Albany Argus.
One of the most closely and fiercely contested
elections ever held in this county, terminated yes
terday. Never was federalism,—the old £t hitter 1
aristocracy,—more active or more indefatigable.
Never was their money more freely circulated;:
and never, since the war, have they swarmed oul
an ! exerted themselves to the same extent, per
sonally and actively at the polls. The result, not
withstanding, i•one hundied and eiglity-ttco ma
jority for the Jackson elector. The following is
the state of (he poll as far as the tickets were can
vassed when our paper was put to press last eve
ning.

Troy has given an administration majorit\ of
only two Here the Adams u»eu claimed a- least
Ureenbush, 63 uuy. for Jackson.
The vote in Troy secures the Jackson elector
for that district.
In this county, unless the towns should turn
out much worse thau has been anticipated, the
Jackson elector wiil succeed, but by a reduced
and close majoii'y.
The unfavorable weather lias prevented the re
turns from coming in from the towns; and the
great number of county officers delayed the can
vass until a late hour last night.
A stronger indication of the revival of the o Id
federal feeling and activity, could not be given
than hy the result in the fourth ward That is
the old republican ward. Thore, in the old times,
when the aristocracy triumphed every where else
in this city, was the strong hold of republicanism,
bo it is now The republicans of that ward Lave
triumphed gloriously.

Columbia.—Of this county the Albany Ai
says, •• the Adams elector is now about 120 ahead
ai.d two towns Chatham L. Canaan to be heard from.
1 heee may bring up this vote: but the probability

Schoharie.—Returns Irom three towns give
good majoiities for the Jackson elector. The Jack

uiajoiity. I'1'0 Albany Argus says “ the elector
and governor will not vary much from GOO to a
