For the Patriot.
Mr. Dougherty,
During the last week I had the
n'eisiire of perusing tin original
AVnrk, written bv a Gentleman
of this Cits-, which l think deci l.
edly entitled to public Smprobati
nn. The Work is entitled “ Ad
ventures of Jack MeUord.” ami
the style is occasionally bke that
f Stroller and Fielding: the a*ir
tlior, however, lias taken special
rare not to unite himself with
that disgraceful societ>, which
Horace has very pronerlv deno
minated “ Servian Peats.” r Po
his Manuscript is annexed a Po
em. entitled, “ EcUvv and Elgi
va”; The subject of this Poem is
taken from the history of Ancient
Saxonv. MyLitcrarv friend, the
Author, intends very soon to is
sii° Proposals for t!ie publication
of these Works 1 , and in conse
quence of tnv knowing this fact,
I have chosen to notify the public
of ir, and to call noon the true
friends of Native Literature, as
well as the lovers of Poetry, to
give thrm their generous and cor
dial support, ft is a melancholy
trtrh, that Literary Works receive
hot little encouragement in tlie
United State-', and hence genius
too often pities in obscuri y, “ ne
glected and unknown.” Foe
present is a novel attempt in tuis
country, and let it be remember
ed that as it i so. the failure of tiie
writer will afford but poor encou
ragement to future L'torayy ad •
venture-hip,. The public gene,
rally T mist :r7! not, & the friends
of native Literature, 1 am certain
can no', refuse to encourage an
original woik written by one a
cohgthem, since our prosperity
and our happiness essentially de.
pend upon the diffusion of know
ledge.
Unpossessed of that degree of
vanity, which Would lead me to
1 hit A, that the nntliorey cf my
name, (as an approver of the a
bove works) would be a sufficient
recommendation to the public, 1
shall content myself with the sig
nature of
A Friend to Native Literature.
SPEC IIL MESUCE.
From the President of the U- S-
Referred to Messrs. J- Ran
dolph, Marion, Van Cordandt,
M’Creerv, and ‘''handler.
To the Senate eg* house of Rrpre
sent a’ives of the United States
o f America.
I have the satisfaction to in
form you that the n-gociation
depending between the United
States and the government of
Great‘Britain, is proceeding in a
spirit of friendship & accommo
dation which promises a result
of mutual advantage. Delays in
deed have taken place occasion
ed bv the long illness, and subse
quent derh of the British minis
ter charged with that duty. But
the commissioners appointed t>y
that government to resume the
negotiation, have shewn every
disposition to hasten its progress:
it is however a work of time ; as
many arrangements are necessa
ry to place our future harmony
on stable grounds. In the mean
time, we find by the communi
cations of our plenipotentiaries,
that a temporary suspension of
the act of last session prohibiting
certain importations, would as a
mark of candid disposition on
uur part, anti of confidence in the
’em per anti views with which
they have been met, have a hap
py effect on its course.
A step so friendly will afford
further evidence that all our pro
ceedings have flowed from views
ofjustice and conciliation, and
that we give them willingly that
form which may best meet cor
responding dispositions.
Add to this that the same mo
tives which produced the post
ponement of the act till the hl
teenth of Nov ember last, are in
favor of its further suspension:
and as we have reason to hope
that 5: may sor n j icld to arrange
ments ts mutual consent and
convenience, justice stems to re
quire that tbi Mime measure mav
be dolt cut to the ftw ca.-,es
which may Jail within its short
c(-utse,r<B load others preceding
and lol'iowing it. I cannot there
loir, but recommend the suspen
sion ol this act lor a reasonable
nine, on considerations ofjustice
amity, and the public interests.
