I peace are to be found only in
j three cr fctir year’s continuance
of war, and thm Europe will

The oligarchy of England is
the real boron: iter of the politi”
cal atmosphere- —they feel none of
the afflictions, nor the horrors of
internal war—while this oligar
chy retains the government —or
while the petiole tv ho alone suffer,
pay, amd fght have no share, nor
influence in tire determination of
peace or war—England will ne
ver have peace hut the peace
given by a conqueror.
Grenville is the lord of the ascend
ant, It he is for an army sufficient
to keep power in the hands of l, ’ at
oligarchy—that power wifi he
Lp-c, while cash or credit can be
had—because the oligarchs have
no chance from a peace greater
than from a war —and while the
paroxysm of war prevails they
have a better chance than in a
pi ace, when, fibber reflection and
the absence of present danger
would give to those who super

’Extract of a letter from an Amer

July 9, 1 ooG.
“1 am now on the rj t- of the
©nee renowned Carthage—
where Scipio fought—where
Hannibal conquered—where the
ittCjtil ohl Bellisarius himself
drew out his legions, and bid the
light of heaven lor 5 7 long days,
with the smoke of that noble ci
ty, deflagrated by his own hand.
About oue mile from where I
now sit, stands a stupendous
archway 5c gat’fc, tlie only entire
surviving monument of ancient
Carthage ! This was the south- .
t-rii ctstrancP i*UO 0e town; and
in its vicinity are a number of
‘mutilated cisterns, ami part of the
aoueduct which brought water
from the celebrated mountain of
Zowen (within si fit t) which is
more thru fifty miles distant.
Till within ? few years there re
mained, I think, seventeen entire
arches of tTs admirable memw
rial of human lai-isr and persever
ance, which were near on hun
dred feet high, supported by co
lumns about sixteen feel square,
and thirty apartbut his supreme
excellency, the all-powerful and’

proper to build two or three pal
try batteries to grace the risiny
grounds near Tunis, and cautcu
a!! these hue arches to be pidltd
down, to furnish stone for that
nailer purpose.
41 Thu cisterns (about sixteen
or SO remain to be traced) are in
deed admirable specimens oi” the
ingenuity of the ancient C at tl a
genians. They are about fifty
yards long, ten wide and fifteen
j deep, all under ground ; and I

water to supply Carthage five
year*, admitting two hundred
thousand gallons used daily*’’
