N. B. The Ihrevvd 2nd penetrat

hinted forxie time ago at a comprc
f.'.ife of tins f#rt at being on the
tapis.- lav ng that the dro'ts cf ad

of the mimftry** lesle, £rc. We
mo ft devoutly wifh the furmilemay
prove true. War with England

a war would be more fefviccable to
us than all the ore in Golconda or
Peru. We need war to purge us
from green corruption and deadly
intrigue.— Whig.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT—if true!
The city was enlivened yefter
day by the contents of the three
letters which follow, from Wafh
ingron :
Firfl—A letter from our cor re f
pondent, da ed on Friday Eft, ob
ferves, “Fora farsight paft there
have been frequent meetings of the
cabinet. Mr. M inroe and Mr.
Voile r have lately been often and
for a long time clofetted t >g#rher j

their < onfideration is the tieary

It aft fufpend war meaf ures, will in
my opinion, be done fhertly; per
haps, however, not till after the
arrival of the Hornet.”
Second —A letter from Waff
intyn to the editors of eke Balti
more American, <ay?,
It s confidently rep rt'-d in the
political circles here, that Mr. F f
cer has propofed to. our cabinet that
the treaty figned in 1806, between
Mtffs. Monroe and Pinckney, tn
behalf of the U. S. and Lords H >l
-and Auckland on the part of
G. B. fit all now be rat fit and by the
two governments. The note an
nexed to that treaty by the Bu/ifti
commiffioners is to be flrr krn out.
Sonic provifi >n or arrangement ; s
to be made in relation to itnpr*lT
nienr, as is pradiVable. It is be
lieved by feme of the f u*nds of
government that tire prop? fi ion of
Mr. Fuller will be acceded to.
Yet I mud add, that they appear
ro me not to be devoid of prouabi
-1 ky- Should they be accurate, an
immediate change ia our mcafurts
mill take place, highly Inicrcftiug
in more than one refped.
Third.—A letter from George
town. 1. is reported that a Cubimt
C .uncil is robe held at the Pufi
dme's li* ufr, relative to our affairs
with England.
From the BOSTON CHRONICLE.
JOHN RANDOLPH.
The favages will g r ow j* ai >us of
Mr. Randolph. He ta. lately
difeovered a g ei penchant for the
luiglifh. fi tic is a biukelptare
in imagination—a Proteus in reli
gion—and a Cnatham in pohti. s 1”
We could have put up with his
imaginatUn, and forgiven him nil h)s
tehgicn j but it is rather provok.ng
to near him compare himielf to the
Great Commoner. It is like Cali
ctn's alpiring to the love lor the
fair Miranda.
Chatham's invtdive was a
gair it tnea.ures, not men. In his
warmeft philippics, he always pre
ferved dignity and decorum. The
■Hey cf ids country was his cen-
tuot theme, which guided him i:i
tee cabinet, anti animated kin in
tit bate. His farcalms wtreterri
b’e; but there was no pert'ortaiity
C .ac Cf uld offend Fox. Lord Hol
land, ilv u"k back appalled i the
iff j- nt Murray ffutered, but it
was at the vehemence and grandeur
with which he uttered his great
conceptiorlf a perfon had been
led blind-folded into parliament,
when Chatham was on the floor,
he would have ihusght that he had
been tra-fi ted to Olympus, and
that Apdlo \>as pleading in a council
of the G *ds. Let the lame perfon
be carried into congtefs, when
Randolph is up mtdft a fivwer
of iu h beauufu! epithets, a?. c< r3g
gamufi is, mifcreants, jgoolecreck,’ 5
tec. he would fancy himftlfm the
purlieus of Sc. Giles, or - B ib.ngf*
gate* and from the fh iilnHs of the
voice, he would judge that two fifn -
women had quarreled, aid one of
them was et reeling it off” in the true
flylr ofXaotippe.
Chatham was full of panegyr
ics ou the brave and rnan.y cha; acter
of rlie foldier-—praifts that an maced
him with glory, ard led him to vic
tory.
Randolph out upon him
the mo ft duchy and naufedu3 venom,
and fereens himfelf undtr the f civi
le ges cf the kivfic, to i bufc a arave
rcvolutionaiy otli er, whom he durit
not meet a gentleman.
Chatham was ever ready to
vindicate the rights of his country,
and avenge any ind griites offered
to ic He cared not if the h >ufe of
B jurborj a -d the world were united
againfl him : he never would yield a
right, or fuecumb to an inlulc.
Randolhh denies not that £ g
lind ir li cU on us the g-tacell i j i
nrs-impo (Ts our Lumen and u s
up our trade—-but he w; If nut go
to war, becauie is i q E-s troops
and money—.vei “a V. g nia p!a >-
ter will not confcnt to b aked.”-
He and es indeed bulllc up ac -he idea
of an invader— and we recalled:
lorae fi /e years ago, of h s threat
ening an invading army vr f h a re
treat, that would terrify an Poten
tate in Europe. ec l would meet
him, fa and he <c on ike Jett J,bore , and
linen l would ” ( o virive him Into
the fa) 1 fight him all the w.iy to the
Allantes -—from the Allegbanies to
the Mijjtjfippi” If hotly pu. iued,
uur reu®u< able hero would, proba
bly, for the fecund heat, ford the
M lfiffippi, and “ fig it him” ail the
way to the W ft rn Ocean. Such
a retreat wuuid d.lffarren even Xen
ophon or general Moreau.
Fhis is a paralei, mo ( we pretend
not is drawn In “die ftyle of Plu
tarch ;” for asy arfempr to compare
Chatham aid Randolph, r nuft

We are happv to hear, tne
Speaker of the H uff, who, we are
told, unites the qualities o f a £en
demai, has lately c.dFd Randolph to

Since our laft, advices from En
gland to the 26. h December ha/e
been received, containii g, however,
no news of imporunce. There
are in the London irunifterial pa
pers very haifli comments os the
