Fall. By heaven, my friend, he
r is the firft of men. I never
swear bu*. to exprels thus em
phatically my opinion of this
great officer—the more I fee of
him, the more I admire him—
the oftener I hear him speak,
the more eloquent I think him
•—the more frequent I hear him
reason, the more profound I
think his judgment. The
change in the Britifti administra
tion operates beneficially ; and
our dear country will reap the
sweets of an expanded com
merce, and soon ffiine as a star
of the firft magnitude in the
cenftellations of nations. We
shall soon connect the northern
and lbuthern hemispheres.”
Naftoville, (i'en.) June 28.
, We learn from a per (on of
correct information, lately ar
rived from Mexico, that the
commanders m that country
have published an order of h:s
Catholic Mayfly, of the dace
of the 10th February last, the
purport of which is—“ That
all d.fputes which exist- and be
tween his Catholic Majeftv a id
the United States of America,
are at an end ; it is therefore
ordered to our different com
manders of the different frontier
posts near thofc of the United
States, to retire with their troops
to the inter or posts, and hold
an amicable intercourse with the
officers of the Un ted Scates.”
Mr. Sampson, the Irish Bir
rifter, whole great exertions in
defence of his (offering country
men have ex poled him to so
much persecution, and who has
Oppofcd nothing 7 but candor and
magnanimity t'-u, arrived here
or Friday rhe 4 h inst. in the
Br.tilh Packet. The social
qual'ties and various accom
plilliments of this gentleman
will make him an agreeab.c ac
qu fi'ion to society. His taienrs
will entitle him to high rank a
mongst men of learning and ge
nius ; mere ftfll 13 due him in
regard of his private and moral
chara&cr, but his h'gheftpraife
is, tha r he never employed his
abilities, but in £he confciendous
difeharge of his duty, and that
he deviated from the high road
of profit and honor that by e
mincntly open to him, nor from
any private ambition, but as an
a<st of voluntary felf devotion
to the raufe and relit sos the
unfortunate.
