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. ’I'M. JEFFERSON. December 54, 1306.
