M£ashingtoa, September 29. ’ * British (*rnerosity The federalists are wonderfully tickled at the compliment Bonaparte pafchto the Britan* when he threw hiaifelf on their mercy, that they were “ the molt powerful an.! gene rous ot his enemies ” 1 hat uiey were powerful, he could lay Jecl ;>?o'/y-—that they are generous, we imped he will find to his torrow is. not true. But in his liiuation, he mud depreciate their refeutment, and conciliate their favor in the belt way he could “ s and ne proDaoly thought there was no better way of putting*'tiiein m a good humor than by admmiftermg a strong dose of flattery. HL>w this dole may operate upon the Bntilh, we have yet to learn ; but it certainly has had powerful effect on ‘their friends * in America.” lney who before would believe nothing he laid, now take all for granted ; and even a studied compliment , to lave his life, is converted at once into a sincere declaration ßut why should this compliment to Britain please Ame ricans so much ? Bonaparte has fometitnes complimented America and even declared that “ he loved the Americans ana this when he was not “ upon companion but federalifts were not pleated with this though it wis just at true, as that England is a- generous enemy.— How is it to be accounted lor that a compliment to Britain is more highly .. deemed by leueranlts than a compliment to our own Country— uulels ir be presumed that they love Britain the best ; and therefore are most interested in her fame ? ibis is the only way we can account tor , it—and we (hah believe it the true way, until we fee fume other point ed out. Trenton hue American. ■ur 1 lyw - Os the “generosity” of England as an *erfemy, America is a compe tent and credible witness j and her testimony might be very full oa this point. In the struggle foi In dependence, file experienced this “generosity” to a vvonderi’ufex tent, on many occasions ; and her grateful recolledions of it were tar from being extinguished, when the seizure of hundreds ot our seamen befor the war —and the maflacres, brutalities and cruelties exerciied 1 * during the contest —renewed our ob ligations to her unparalleled “gen erofiryl” And while the river Raisin, Niagara, Sulquehannah, or Potomac (hall continue to flow, the the “ generous” deeds ot the Bri tifb, perpetrated on their banks, as well as in many other places, will be held ’ in rememberance x>r re corded in history; and the evidence of Bonaparte one way or the, other on thefubjed will be regarded but as aZfop to the ocean. Ibid. ■ COMMUNE A FED. DIED, On the 23d inflarit, in this to\Vh, Dr. ‘Joseph W New., Surgeon of :he United States’ Navy—he was a gentleman in manners and honora ble in lentiments. At Washington, departed this life on Monday the 2.5 th Septem ber, 1815, in the 52nd year of her age, Miss Sally Abbott who lived the ! hfe, and died the deal# of a real Chriltian, She long knew lefus, in whom she believed, and had full confidence that He was able to keep that, which (he had commit ted to Hun again!! that day. Her hope was not Uilappoiuted.—- She could adopt the language of the Apofth?—“For 1 am persuad ed that neither death, nor iiie, nor angels, nor principalities, nor pow ers, nor things prelent, nor things to come, nor “height, nor depth, nor any other creature lhali be able to leperate me from the love oi God, which is in Chnlt Jelus our Lord.” Religious iocicty in this place lias Inflamed a iots—out its loss will be ner eternal gam. Her dear relatives have toil a liacere friend, a counieilot, a patron, a guide. Sue was OQs|Af mole, of whom thq worl^. walfVbt worthy. Without a iti uggle or a groan, the rengneu her lpnit to her God. To die in Chnlt is to repose, On iotter couch'than nature knows, Or riches can afford : To die in Christ’s to four on high, With wings beyond the Iky, Where faints behold thur Lord. Death is the gate of end less joy To fouls refin’d bom fins alloy, By Christ’s redeeming love : And ere their duit finks in the tomb, Cherubic legions guard them borne, To dwell wild God above. Then dry your tears, ye weeping throng, Such happy beams demand a long so iaitn’s aii conquering powerj Pursue trie pattis ot halmeis, That God your precious louls may biefs In the dearting hour.
