I*A FAYETTE. The Boston Patriot contains Hi: following extract of a letter from this distinguished Patriot, to Governor Eustis, of Massachusetts.— “ But here stands the power of th United States, happily free from Eu ropean connections, and covering un der its gigantic shield the Independ ence and Republican Liberties of ete rv Columbian nation.—The message of the President has produced on Hie European part of the world a most ho norable, dignified and useful impres sion. 1 enjoyed it,not only as an Ame rican Patriot, but also for the sake of the general cause of mankind,in which for political civilization, honesty ar.d steadiness the United States hold a rank so superior to every other human aggregation.” ‘*l am, with all my heart, your old sincere fiiend, LA FAYETTE.” The venerable Dr. Thacher, of Ply mouth, we learn, says the Boston Cen tinel, has recently received a letter from Gen. La Fayette, by which, we understand, that a Sense of duty will keep him a considerable time in Eu rope, and delay his contemplated and much desired visit to the U. States.— We imagine our couhtry’sfriend thinks it his duty to remain in France to give his opposition to the changes which art said to be contemplated there,by the curtailment or abolition of the French Charter, and the restoration of the Mo narchy as it existed prior to the revo lution.
