[Without the fpiril of prophecy.) A very numcious body of men will be veiy much chagrined in (be courfe of a few days— for the following reafons: t. Because Thomas M'Kean, after above thirty years of pub lic and faithful fervice, is a living evidence that republicans are not fo ungrateful as they arc aliened to be by their enemies. 2. Because in the rejed on of Tames Ro r *, the people of Penn fylvania have declared their dif approbation of his public con duft. 3. Becaufe the whigs will win more wearing apparel, boots, and beaver hats than would clothe a couple of thouLnd of people. 4. Becaufe large Turns of mo ney will be won by the whigs Irom the lories. A great number of trimmers in politics who voted for Mr, Rofs, poGtively declare that they voted for Mr. M'Kean. The twenty three publicans who were deprived of their li cences for being republicans in a neighbouring county will have their licenfes redored. There will be great animofity and gnafhing of teeth in public I and private places— and many long faces. In other places there will be feftivity and congratulation— on the tiiumphof republican prin- I ciples. And it is very poflible there mav be foma good (inging and ; toa lbng on the occafion.

Dear William, YOU mud remember with what pain I left you and my other meffrnates, when preUed on board the Hermione, then 7 % commanded by Piggott, one of the greatell biutes that ever dil graced human nature. There were at that time a great number of Americans on board who were treated in the mod (hock ing manner, you were arquainr ed with fome of them, but 1 fear to mention their n*mes, as pro bably they wou d be hunted up by the bloodhounds that put lued me. 1 new r nothing of the taking of the (hip until it was all over. It was a fudden thing, entirely owing to the barbarity of our infernal commander. And were the unfortunate men who weic prelied to blame, when they weie continually beat and abufed ; would not the mod virtuous man, if he had the leaf! (park of American fpirit, have done the fame ? When I reflefi on the joy I experienced after the dididles and dangers I had undergone, of landing on my native diotc, and my prclent (ituation, it ap pears like a dream to me—my unhappy patents I how much mud you have difl effed your felves by giving me a good edu cation, and how much did 1 promife myfelf in abiding you in your old age ! But there is a God above who will aililt them, although their unfortunate Ton cannot.
