Regent— on condition ot ihcir pro viding ways and means to pay nis rir&'s, amounting to 500,000! Ree ling or more ! N. B. The Ihrevvd 2nd penetrat ing editors of the BelEft 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 miralty were to ourchafe a rerewal of the mimftry** lesle, £rc. We mo ft devoutly wifh the furmilemay prove true. War with England muff be the confequenre —and fuch 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. New-York, Frb. 12. 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 2nd it i*i rumored that rhe fubj'd of their < onfideration is the tieary made feveral years ago, between Mr. Monroe and the Brit Ih minif try, which Mr. F Her is dr fious of having ratified with feme moeltfi a tions. if no hing final at prefent takes pUce } fomething that Hull at 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.

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.

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 ordrr for his pert <ff ontry..

Since our laft, advices from En gland to the 26. h December ha/e been received, containii g, however, no news of imporunce.
