uod cotisuivis ihat our habits, iuioiests, and
foeiuigs, are so diametrically opposidto Eo.?-

should agree on any one point; and he ilinv-
traies this position by stating, that during a
yearT residence in this country, lie heard noil*-
mg that “ implied the sm diest degree of svrn»
pathy with the exertions which England, sin
gle handed, had so long made io sustain th*
drooping cruse of fierdom.” Capl. Hall’s di»-
uppo.ii;ini-ill oh this head i« very na.ui d, and
is very easily explained. The Americ ms f !t
no sympathy iu tho g’diossui and single-lr.uded
war waged by England, because they knew it
was not a war loir freedom but fur interest.
T|ie power of Napoleon was to bo destroyed*.
m order thai England might continue mistress.,
oi (he ocean, and push her trade and manufao
lures, without rivalry or molestation, into tho
li>U| quarters of the globe. The ambition of*
Napoleou for conquest was'only equalled by
the anxiety ot England for gain. Is Franc*

Hall it right: tho Americans felt no sympathy
tor England in het struggle, because they took;
tite fieedom to look into the motives winds
urged the Cabinet of St. James to subudiz*'
alt Europe; and in these motives they so*
nothing which had the appearance of sustaining
the cause of freedumi . '"
Our author proceeds to enforce his imprest*

al recollection of past quarrels,” aud unnu iF
C’debiatioos, of events coonected with therev^

Here. Captain' hall does the country injurt
lice. The celebration of the 4 h of July t*
not to keep alive the rancorous animosities
which formerly existed, but to impress upon
rim rising generation the patriotism and valor
of our forefathers'; the blessings their struggles
secured to us, and the importance of sustaining
unimpaired that freedom which the^ achieved
lor Us. The motive is a more noble one than
that attributed to us by :Cupf. II,dl. Wood'
mil, will) him, that Urea! Britain lias forgotten)
those conflicts; it is proper that site should for*
get them; but it is equally propel that wd
should eycr bear them in memory.
Our limits admonish us to stop. The work
is written in a pleasing, free, and ftim'lmr style ;
there is an .absence ot every thing gross and of
fensive, Captain Hall thinks well, of this
country— wishes well towaids it; butriesiie*
to enjoy hisown opinion, free and unirammek-',
ed, and we would not infringe this right.

From the New-York Enquirer.
CATTAIN HALL’S TRAVELS;
No travels in the Ulined States h ive been
mure anxiously sought ufer ana more greedily
devoured than tbe TiaVels of Cnpi. Basil Hail
winch have been wnlmt a li:w (lays tepublisli
ed fiorii the English edition, This curiosity
if ho. anxiety, was peifocily natural. Our
couutry has buun visited and exploied by sev
eral literary' foreigners-; our institutions .have
been decried. Our habits and manners-libelled
and misrepresented ; the state of society has
been lampooned; our domestic ties and pub
lic (lcmunsiraiiuus, our laws and religion, nave,
by turns, been held up to ridicule and satire,
it was natural to hope for justice at least; when
a trav- Her of acknowledged reputation and
candor visited h'ur shores;' and ib* agreeable
idmauce of the brio Citoo islands, and other
ivui U» of a more pci niaitam and authentic char
acter, had pi deeded the arrival of Capt. Hall,
uid insured tor him a cardial reception among
dl classes; He was nlsu.it plffin," unpretend
ing poisou.ige, 'full.of. inquiry, anxious in the
puisuit ut tacts, agreo-iblo m his conversation,
aud modest in deporim ;nt. Every thing was
tiirovVn open to unit un his arrival t the doors
of hospiiali-y; tlie literary wealth of tho nation,
tile schools, m'eclunic establishments, charita
ble institution*; and every object calculated to
make a favorable impression on him, and win
tits gbod opinion; Wo wont rather too far ;
and it te probably the fault of our people.—
When a travelled gmitlomnn visits our country'
wedt recommended, aud w'ith the express view
of writing a histor/Vif us, we are apt.to carry
our corn testes and civilities to an extent which
looks too much jikb purchasing his favorable
report; we are rather too anxious to make
ourselves agreeable, and arrange every thing
in ample u;der, to excite his admiration, and
draw forth a spirit of friendly commendation.
'We do this; instead of cheerful hospitality and
liouest blunt ness, in throwing open to his view
all that relates to our country and our people,
and Confiding more in tho value and stability of
wtiaf we have than in the extorted praiso ol
tho travelled stranger. Although seme disap
pointment will be felt on perusing this work
yet, with its many errors - of fact, and many .in
hypothesis, tlie candid reader will consider it a
fair.
frank, and interesting book; full justice
is not done to this, country, Gut there is a spirit
of.kindness and good will, which reader (he
mistakes of the author mbre objects of regret,
and not of augor.
Captain Half does not admire our mixed de
mocracy, or rather republican form of govern
ment. This is very natural for a captain iql his
