Mv Dear Friend, , , I iim happy I- httve it in my power ore- nlv to the ipipstion cnntHiiii’d tit tho letter nm* before me, and this without any troii- bi.. an I am s" fortunate as to be intimately Acquainted with some near relatives of the individual about whom you impure. Col Huger is a native of South-Caroimir, and the member of a family remarkable (so far at le.iol «» m y acquaintance with it ex tends) fur ardor of character and distinguish ed talents. Hp passed to London.in his vo Jth to complete his medical studies, and was thus engaged when the news reached him of tho seizure and imprisonment of General La Fayette, whom lie had learned from his infancy to respect as the compani on i„ arms of his father, and the companion of his country’s liberties. He instantly con ceived the project of devoting his time, and, if it should he necessary, his life, to effect the rescue of the illustrious captive. Having di- irested his scheme, and finding that a coadju tor would he necessary, he took into his confidence a young German, a com pan um n( bis studies, and embarked with him for Hol land. The stoW of the attempted rescue, as commonly told,'is pretty accurate-the best iw 1 remember t*have seen, was m num ber of the Annual Register. I suppo-e you are acquainted with the incidents winch de- feated tho scheme ami gave back the rescu ed La Fayette t*bis prison, and made Im gentrou* deliverer also an inhabitant oMhe < detsrmincd to carry Into effect the i.reams power, which had amused ins prison. He toi l, his vyip, in a farm beyond (tie monnlauis, w'licie lie settled, and w as soon the father of n fine Imy. The child when two years pf age, sickened, and his l;r> wvledge of phy.-ic saiis- Piid him that the child could not recover i J • f]kc r. pliilnsnnin r with Ihe gloomy dungeons of Olmutz. The suffer ings of the young American, aflei the fai lure of tht attempt, were cruelly severe— clone, in a dark and stony roll, apprehensive for the safety, even for the hie of La l ays Ctte, uncertain as to the fate of his friend-— now cursing his own rashness, which had perhaps doubled tile sufferings of hifti he fume to rescue, and now the untoward chan- CCS whicn had defeated bis attempt when so near successthis fw er or the spu it soon fell on the blood, and, for three weeks, deli rium rendered him insensible to the horrors of his dungeon. Without assistance ot any bind that lie can recollect, how the fever h tl him, he knows not—the damps and confine- Tncnt ill forwarded the recovery of his Strength—stretched on the stones, he sought to divert his mind by laying plans for his fu ture life, if his prison -doors should ever he opened, hut for his corpse. What is singu lar, he has followed out the mode ot life he then amused himself with scheming. The first human sound that reached him ■was the cry or a child (for the keeper who supplied him with bread and water, made neither query nor reply.) “A child I then there must he a woman, and wheie there is a woman, there may be compassion.” So saying, he crawled towards the wall, at the top of which was the grate that admitted light, air, and all the inclemencies of the sea sons—often he listened, watched, atid called, till at last a woman's face was stooped to wards the gate—he tried French, which, fortunately, she could reply to. “ ^ ou are a mother”—surh was the manner of his ad dress, to remove her scruples ; “ l have a mother, for her sake have pity on her son !” After a good deal of pathetic entreaty, she promised to bring him back an answer to his inquiries, and to procure for him a Ger man grammar. He learned that his friend was in a dungeon in tire, same fortress, and that La Fayette was in tolerable health, but in stricter confinement than ever. The grammar was squeezed through the bars, u- nother book was afterw ards procured, and thus he acquired a tolerable knowledge of German. After some time, he told bis visi ter, that his grammar had afforded him so much amusement, that if she could discov er the grate of Uis friend's prison, he wished she would convey it to him. Having in vain tried to make intelligible marks upon the pa per, he. made some with a piece of mortar, scraped from the wall, upon a black silk handkerchief that he took from his neck, and in which he folded the grammar—this, with a good deal of trouble, was squeezed again through the bars, and in a few days was re turned, some words of English in reply hav- •ing been scraprd by his friend upon the co ver, satisfying Huger as to his health. The grammar was his only amusement through the remaining months of his imprisonment, which were in all eight. The representati ons of Washington procured his release, af ter a trial where he pleaded his own cause in French—it was short and sample, hut elo quently stated, that he and his friend had no accomplices, and no motives hut those sup plied by their own enthusiasm—that he had not sought to rescue a state-prisoner, but the friend of his father, of his country, and of mankind—to procure whose release, lie would then willingly return to his dungeon, and to save whose life, lie would joyfully doating mother, prepared her by degrees for her loss, n prevent, d tho duty she owed to him, which should strengthen her to strug gle with her grief, and submit to an irreme diable evil. She listened, ami had sufficient strength of mind lo feel the weight of hr- words. She herself wrote the news or her loss to her father. ”My husband has ex- horted I’D brnr it tin lipcame your i«uup;h- trr U. liis wife, and bo has imparted strengt h to me to do so-but,oh! What calamity is there for winch his affection ought mil to console me !” They were afterwards mote fortunate parents. Col. Huger Ims been the tutor of his children, who obeyed his words as the young Spartans those of Lyeni gus. Trained to hardiness and independence, in spired by their father with sentiments ol pa triotism, hnd clad in garments woven by their own domestics, they exhibit, in their manners and character, that simplicity and ardour w hlch form the true characteristics of the gobs and -daughters of a republic. Noi is it only when excited by feelings of peculi ar enthusiasm, or when called upon to per form the duties of a husband, a father, atid a ciiir.cn, that thisdistinguiahed individual has vinerd the heauly uf his character, lie had an only sister, who, some years after Ids marriage, fell into a pitiable state of heallh : change of air, and travelling, were recom mended as his last remedies—his brother found it impossible to move at the time, and there was no other friend or relative on whom could be devolved the care of the in- veltd. Col. Huger left his farm, fame to Charleston, deposited his wife and infant hildren with his father-in-law, became the travelling companion and physician of hie sister, and, nearly a year after, brought her hack in a state of recovery, joined his fami ly, and returned to his estate. During tho war, when a descent of the e- nemy was expected on some of Ihe great ci ties of the south, and then on Savannah ra ther than New-Orleaqs, Col linger repair ed to the former. Assembling his children around him in the presence of their mother, he explained Ihe duty which called him from them. “ My country jiftd your country calls me to its defence. 1 go with a willing heart, commending yon and your mother lo it and to heaven. Let me see that you. on yonr- side, yield your father will) willing hearts. Now embrace me, nil of you, with out a tear.” lie mounted his horse, and not a murmur was heard—even the youngest tried to smile as their behaved parent rod away—another proudly brushed the tear from his eye, and wished that he was old nough to defend his country.

Returning to his country, misfortune seem ed to follow him—-entering the house of his brother, a bow-window from the upper sto ry fell on his head—for thirteen days he lay insensible, attended by his brother with ago nizing affection.

I know his soul, and choose for him in preferring death.” He repaid his cares, however, by perfect recovery, when his brother, who was possessed of a large property, entreated him to share his futtuni —this, however, he strenuously refused, and settled in Charleston as a physician. Some time afterwards, he became attached lo a young woman of a respectable family in that city. Though rising into eminence in bis profession, his income was as yet small, and ohe had nothing. In thi3 state of things, he determined not to venture on marriage, un til his increasing practice should enable him to support a family. These circumstances coming to the knowledge of his brother, he instantly bestowfcd a fortune on the young woman—and an obligation thus delicately conferred, could not be objected to by her rnOMTIlF. RATIONAL INTTXLtOWCEn. DO V LUIS DE OATS’S MEMOIR A translation of tl»e'“ Memoir upon the ne- gociations between Spain and the U. Slates ef America, whichled to the treaty of 1819.” has just been published in this city, from the pen of Dr. Watkins, in whose character and abilities we have a satisfactory pledge ofthe fidelity and accuracy of the translation We'have looked over this work, in the xpoctathvnbf finding it full ofthe sophisms f diplomacy, 'and very Unreserved in the frankness ofthe author’s views of the Unit- d Stales. -We have not been disappointed. It is both the ono and the other. Of the character of our people, and their besetting foibles, he npeaks with unsparing severity, and with more freedom, we think, than sin cerity. Of our institutions, and of our re sources, he has given as flattering a view as could he expected from a representative of monarchy, who has no longer a motive for deceptive language, or mental reservation in respect to us—it being perfectly evident, from the. whola 1enor of the Mo.moir, that Don Luih De Onis has not the least expecta tion of ever re-visiting the United States in a public capacity. Of the policy of our go vernment, he has furnished such a distorted view as suited the. purpose for which he wrote, which was, by a-propos suggestions to induce, the Cortes of Spain to ratify the treaty of ! 819, the necessary assent to which had been, and was at the date of the Memoir, withheld by the King of Spain As we'co not feel ourselves justified in making any extracts from Ibis book which might interfere with the profits of tho sale of it, due to tha labor and enterprise of the Translator and Publisher, vve shall content ourselvM with a brief account n fits plan, and an extract or two calculated to shew the ge neral complexion of its contents. The character of the book is Well describ ed in the following extract from the transla tor’s preface “The reader of the following pages'will soon find reason to pronounce them a most extraordinary production—lie will perceive that they contain a. singular mixture of the veriest slander and the most extravagant eu logy, of our eountry and countryman, that was ever heaped upon them !>y foe or friend. The double object which- the author had in view, led him, of necessity, into many con tradictions and absurdities. He had been accused of sullying the dignity ol his royal master, and wounding the interests of his na tion, by a disgraceful treaty—and this charge naturally involved’!he suspicion, that he had been influenced in his negotiation either by J'car or partiality for the'Americans. In combatting this twofold accusation, it was important that he should show the political and physical strength of the United Staleyi u its utmost magnitude—that he should de-l mourtrale the impossibility of defending the Spanish provinces in America from the am bitious grasp of this colossal power—and that he should draw such a picture ofthe people as might lead to the inference that contempt, rather than admiration or oread, supplied him with the coloring. It will hi seen, from the ingenuity wiili which he has managed his arguments, that Don Luis de Onis was a wily politician, a master ofthe diplomatic, art—and, however illusive some of his reasoning may appear, there are strong grounds to believe that tho Spanish Cortes were influenced by it to consent to the rati fication of his trcaiy, and that his main ob ject was thus accomplished.’ The Memoir commence* with a history of the Don s diplomatic residence in the l'. States, from the year ISO!* lo the year 1819—of his ar riv'd here, the refusal of our government to re ceive him, aud his vigilance and faithful ser vices nevertheless. Il then takes a view of the territories of Ihe United States—of Iheir popu lation—of the causes of the rapid increase of population, and of the public and individual wealth uf these stales—of our relations with the Indians on our borders—of Ihe agriculture, manufactories, and the industry of the t'niled r.ules—of their commerce—of their military lf| rce, which he scandalously depreciates—of the navy—of (he national revenue—of our in ........ ery (lull :l in which, mangre lls frightful daubing and hideous colors, an plainly discover some odd trails of resemblance to those who sat lor Ihe likeness; “ This people, however, do nut appear capable, of raising themselves to that colos sal greatness to which they ttspire, nor to a- ny solid and lasting glory." A compound of individuals of various nations, they have no true national character,wtnd devoted to com merce and speculation, interest is iheir idol. They carried with them to thu deserts of North America the corruption and the vices ofthe most degenerate people In Europe— and this corruption and these vices have met witlj no harriers in a country where all hit, free, and whore Inrun) and an insatiable (hirst (]f ppud t>fc (lir pi rdmiivumt pcts3ions • extreme egotism, finance, and other sordid passiniH, distinguish the character of the .)■ mericms. Their manners, in general, le- nemble those of tile English, though they are ahvays accompanied with ii certain rusticity nid a provoking arrogance, that particular i-n fhem. The inhabitants ofthe United Slates are destituted for the most port from English fa mi lies, and although a multitude of individuals from oilier nations are incor porated in their population, tie anglomania i*always prevalent. The institutions of the country, copied chiefly from those of Eng- Iniid—rthe same laws for the administration of justice in civil and criminal cases—tin same language, the. same enthusiasm of com merce, and the same spiiit of domination ami pride, render the two people very simi lar. The Anglo-American looks upon eve ry nation w ith disdain or contempt, admiring the English only, and making il a glory t • draw his origin from her. lint their shuati- >n jit the head of the New World, without avals to impede or restrai i their march-—an mtnen.e and varied surface of territory— their rapid and astonishing progress in popu lation, the arts and industry—the brilliant scries of their prosperity ; the powerful suc- re-'s’nf their arms in the late war against O. Britain—and the respect which they fancy y have inspired in the. principal powers ol Europe, have raised their vanity to an ex treme, of which ii is scarcely possible to form an idea. They consider themselv es sv.peri- r to the rest of mankind, and look upon their Republic as the only establishment up on earth, founded upon a grand and solid ba sis, embellished by wisdom, and destined one day to become the most sublime colos sus of unman power, and the wonder of the universe. It is notonly in the mouths of en thusiasts, nr demagogues, who seek to in flame the imagination* of the mob with se ductive and exaltead ideas, that this language is heard—it resounds from fevery sidp. Thr works of all the Anglo-American writers are strewed with these haughty sentiments, these brilliant productions, suggested by an overweening vanity. Their public monu ments attest the excess of this pride and os tentatious confidence. The house in which ihe Congress hold their sessions, they call the Capitol: a little rivulet near it, about three yards wide and a fourth-deep, they de nominate the 'Fiber. Many of the meanest settlements, hare the names of the most ce lebrated cities of Greece and Rome. Every thing breathes extreme affectation and vani ty in tho United States—but the sensible man, who examines things with impartiality and profound reflection, cannot but foresee tho ruin of these states, in Ihe blind impetu osity of their ambition, and the excess of their pride.” Fer contra, we give the following, as a fail- sample of those parts of Ihe work in which re luctant justice is done us : “ Their fleet is every day receiving aug mentation, and is already upon a respecta ble aud brilliant footing. The Anglo-Ame rican sattors, if they do not exceed the En glish ih skill or courage, like them possess the profoundest knowledge of naval tactics, and great experience in everything that can con tribute to a favofablo result in naval actions. It is true that, hitherto, tln-y have had no ac tions, except of ship lo ship, and with small divisions on the lakes, but in all they havi manifested great skill and great bravery.— When their navy shall be adapted for grand battles, they will no doubt show the same .superiority, of which the English now boast so much ; and w ill, perhaps, surpass them, excited ns they will he by emulation, prid and that fierceness of enthusiasm which a republican spirit inspires.
