„ /•: urtteMSTtm letter. ‘ Extract of a tetter from a gentleman of respect chili tv and information now in Fuf ope t to ft is friend in this coun \ try,!atdf rectivtL What will be the fate Os the unfortunrte Spanish nation is ,set to be unfolded. .Ifus 1 expect) our war will be continued the convulsion which will probably take place in Spain will have a favorable influence in our favor. My desire to see thp rational principles of government es tablished among civilized nations, outweighs any temporary advantage whic • may attend the exertions of the enemy to efobroil us with Spain if she avoids a civil war. That G. Britain is laboring to effect this friendly office for us and Spain, there can be no doubt* I have said that 1 expect peace will not be made be tween us and England at Ghent.— The spirit of the nation was neVer more in favor of war than at the present moment. The suspicion Which prevails among them, that we have no cause of complaint against them, and the mortification which they have felt at the naval successes which we have gained over them, has excited a spirit of the most yindic* tive resentment against us* which excludes all idea of cool and rational investigation, ft is said that the ministry are temperate, but from c videncc in my possession, of the most Unquestionable nature, J know that this moderation exists only in words- jV ff Every tiling I see and hear of Em* rope serves only to attach ine to my own county*. The only draw back I feel in this honest preference which I am persuaded every Amer ican will fe*el* is the shameful vio lence to which pavty spirit h*3 ex tended. Those who have excited this violence under a dread, of the power of Bonaparte, and urged that our government have acted in sub serviencer to him, will hereafter be constrained to invent some other cause of suspicion. 1 have never believed that any well-informed man dreaded the power of Bonaparte, or; believed that Mr. Madison was sub servient to him The ignorant have been imposed upon and mas have been influenced by these considera tions. Napoleon is now no longer on object of terror to any person— It is not entirely so with England* The Prince Regent in his drunken fits, which arc diurnally periodical, has said, that he hadsworne, that he would never make peace with France until the Bourbons were restored, and that he will prosecute the war With the Unfted States until he re duces them, to submission to his,, crown. Such are the Bacchanalian ravings of the besotted ruler ot the Britannic Empire. Enlightened men in England are opposed to this foolish plan of subjugation, but when yqu reflect upon the immense num ber of Governors, Judges, Generals, Collectors, Bishops, See. &c. &c. Which this subjugation would place in the gift of the government, and upon the number of expectants to these offices, you will not be surpri sed that this idea has many advo cates*? If he people of the Uftited States . aru ? rue to themselves, no force Wb- r i can be sent by England, pan cnriiger their national existence.—. IdE. yt people here apprehend that * is a general combination in J£u * Against the United States. That this intact is a crusade against civil liberty In overthrowing Bonaparte they certainly have not inflicted any deadly blow upon civil liberty, forms of the French constitution were in a certain degree free, but the only freeman in. the nation, was the Emperor, and his freedom con sisted m being supremely above law and constitution. France ipay be injured in the change, but the friends af civil liberty have nothing to de plore in His'downfaU. Ido not be lieve in this crusade against civil or religious liberty. only solici tude, which I feel in looking into the the book of futurity, is that which arises from the violence of party in the United States. >1 believe that the x pe ft *o which has been just sign ed, will turn out like the peace of Amiens, nothing but an armed truce. For the first four weeks after the wUips entered Pans the - was the vc-establishment of a durable peace betWeeirthe members* of the N great European family. If I hacf believed that this billing and cooing would have outlasted the hopey moon of lovers, I should have felt some unhappiness for the American family. , My conjectures have been verified and all this love and family yflection have evaporated. The pur tits have remained too Jong toge ther They have tOen and : knowri each ether too intimately.; ‘I he peace is excessivel) uppppuEi:im *.nd l- ; resume will ‘fit- e qdkfly so ih Eugiand,* Austria, : M The hrs£ believe hard conditions haVe been exaet&f; the latter think that the rights of the vanquishers have been sacrificed to a vain and foolish affectation oi liber-r alky. * Posterity will decide A this question for them. ‘ * France is like a great Volcano, ready to explode, upop the applica tion of any cotdbdstible materials. Much discretion and firmness necessary, to sooth or to restrain-the j angry passions which increased rath er than diminished since the return of the King. The court and Royal party preach up oblivion and concil iation, whilst their actions momently recal all the violent and disagreeable sensations which the revolution has excited. This hostility between their words and actions is too appa rent 10 be mistaken. he Divine right„of Kings is presented, to ihe. nation m every possible form and obtruded in every act of public wor ship. Germany is in a state of anar- ; chy. The affairs of the continent, however, are to be settled at Vienna in a general Congress. ! ’ It, appears to me, that much, very much remains to be done in Europe* before a general pacification can be. said to hsive taken place. If peace, is not made between us and England I shall expect to see the war in Eu rope lighted up again sin less f than three years, perhaps in much less time. If peace should be made at the approaching negotiation it will be in some degree mortifying, be cause the English nation ana: Eu rope generally will attribute it sole, ly to the moderation of the British ministry. Notwithstanding this idea is an unpleasant one, I sincerely hope that a reasonable peace may he made. Ido hot expect it. Wetan never make peace under more unfa vorable auspices unless the drunken , dreams of the Prince of Wales are to be realised* This can only take place, in consequence ot the total want of public virtue, and attach ment to the principles of the union. If we have arrived at such extreme points of depravity and disunion al ready, the sooner we have a master” the better Ido not apprehend any danger of jthis kind. The present Federal'party is certainly infuriated to the last degree, but I still believe when they make a movement m open hostility to the . government, they will be annihilated as a party. 1 hope they will not make this move* meat, but certainly there is strong ground to apprehend it.* From a London paper of Sept • 2. mermaid. To THE Eoitor < Si r—As the existence of Mer* maids is a point that has long been disputed et adhue sub judice Its . lid it may contribute in some de gree to settle a point of so great * portance to the naturalist, I send you the following account, which- I ‘.ref ceived from two fishermen residing at Port Gordon, a smell fishing vil* lage in this parish, whom I believe ,*to be of undoubted veracity, and- res pectable enough in their station oi life. As these men [Thos- Johnson and Wm. GordonJ were returning trom their fishing, about 3 or 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, about a quarteEof a mile from shore the sea being perfectly calm> they observed, at a small distance from their boat, with its back towards them, and hall its body above the water a creature of a tawny colour, appearing, like $ man, sitting with his body bent. Surprised at this, they ap» proachcd towards him tili they came within a few yards, when the noise of the boat occasioned the creature to*turn about, giving the men a bet ter opportunity of observing him. His countenance was swarthy, nis ”■ hair short and curled, of the color between a gray and green / he haUF eyes, a ftai nose, ms mouth was large and his arms of an extra ordinary length. Above the waist Ke was shaped like a man, as the water was clear, niy informants could perceive that, from the Waist downwards, his body ♦tapered considerably ; or as they ex pressed it, like a large fish without scales, but they could not see uSt’ extremity. The men however -had not a longtime to observe aim, for, after looking steadfastly at them for hbout*a minute, he suddenly dived, but ruse again at some distance from the boat accompanied by another, whom tae meu supposed a- female as 7 they could percene she had breasts and her hair was hot curled* but Yearheil to a little below her shoulders £ the skin oi tins last une too?w da UHer than the other . “' : £\ ihfSiiiheThe men ban licc u.e side a.armed: a shore us last u* possible, and lor Some time they cpuld'sbt the Mermaids nH/KUi alter uvern.

The conduct of the enemy to our prisoners thus captured, and the inhuman butchery of those Who fell into their hands, at the attack of Mackinac* has been barbarous beyond parallel# The formei; have .been plundered of almost every article of clothing—-the *■ latter had their hearts and livers ta>ten out, which were actually epoked & feast* ed on (and that too in the quarters of the British officers,""sanctioned by Col. M’DowelJ by the Savages.

One of the prisoners was inhumanly murdered, by one of their militia, to decide a dispute Detween him and an Indian, of who had the best claim to the re ward of his body or ?, scalp, and no notice was taken of it by the colonel. To retate to you?, sir, all the acts of horror which have been practised upon those unfortunate victims who fell mtp the enemy’s hands on the 4th August would go far beyond the limits of a letter? : v . >•• /q *'• ■£&’ \r\ • . r*’ SHERIFFS SALE.
