MR You treat in your seventh section of the incessant hostilities of the British Reviewers, and feel extremely indignant rhat the supporters of these celebrated Journals do not praise every work that issues from the American press, it was noticed in a former ktter that jou wer- lhe first writer tha* *iau ever quoted the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews in -upport of the same principles, and that uie reader*) oi cue toimei never dreamed Till the publication of your book that it could be referred to a> the calumniator ai.d enemy of the United States. flaying never been an admirer of the mode of criticism adopted in these dis¬ tinguished works, I shall confine myself to the position mentioned in mv first let¬ ter,—u That they are not more severe upon American than British Writer*." At the same time 1 freely concede that they are occasionally too severe, and their manlier of reviewing books unjust to the authors, while it is easy for themselves, but this injustice is not confined to the publications of American authors. I pass the fulsom panegyric on your country, fee. with which you commonly begin each section, and proceed to the specimens you adduce of the marked un¬ fairness of the Edinburgh Review. Hut let it be kept in mind that a well regula¬ ted critical journal has a writer for each branch of literature, and that a sameness of sentiment is not at all times to be looked for. Incidental expressions will appear that seem, or perhaps are, incon¬ sistent ; it is held sufficient if the general or leading principles be preserved.— You bring forward, with considerable fiiumph, what you conceive to be a great iucousist* '■ncy in the remarks of (he Reviewers on Dr. Franklin. The lir>t;jives you displea¬ sure because it speaks of him as he reall* was. The second bestows upon himuridi- ture good. You then tell, in a note, how its volume* of transactions have been exchanged with those of the most dlstin* guished Societies in Europe—how the most celebrated literati have been glad of enrolling their names among its hono¬ rary members. Now, Sir, all this is lud^e, and totally irrelevant. The Re¬ viewers had only to do with the volume on their table. Is it composed of trifling or important papers ? If trilling, the Journalists did well in condemning it— ti important, vihy have you not quoted them ?—j>ro\c the papers important, and 'his will be worth volumes of declama¬ tion. You t-.ink that you have caught the critics, be -ause the} say, u We have dwelt longerapoil this article than its merit* justify, for the purpew of plating h most Curious and oiaccouuthle tact— the scarcity of all bit mercantileaiul ag¬ ricultural talents in he New World."— Hut talents of a hi-hei order may be ccarce w ithout b^iiualto^ef her wanting; and consequently th * remark is not in¬ consistent with the praises* exaggerated as they are, be-towol in another part of the Journal on the utollectual ability of the Americans. You next accuse the Reviewers for their unfair treatment of Mr. Adams, the presenl Secretary of State's letters from Silesia. This work is treated with very little courtesy, though in your opinion it possesses much absolute intrinsic merit, and is greatly above1 the common stand¬ ard of applauded English tours. You seem to forget that rhe Northern Critics never bandy compliments, it is contrary hi their motto, "Judex damnatur cum nocevs absolvitor^" which may be trans¬ lated, in case you have forgotten your Latin, "CurS'd be the Judge that letstheguilty free.M [ ^ery much fear that nine tenths of those who read the Letters from Silesia will prefer the Critic's opinion to your's. The Jlippancy of style and remark be¬ speaks an arrogant young man full of himself and of his country, and not ver) correct in his mora! sentiments, lie says j *% I expected to hav«- found at least some heinous crimes upon the list ; but unless the mu.der of a Pr& st may be consider¬ ed of that denomination there was not one ! !" fci Is trie murder of a Priest (says a respectable Journalist, jn reviewing the same book) less criminal than that of a Lawyer or Physician, or even that of u Minister Plenipoternjary ?" We have another specimen of Mr. Ad¬ ams' authorship in l,js Lectures on Ora¬ tory, the most coutcmp(ible book cer¬ tainly that was ever wri'teo on that ex- eel lent subject. 1U compares j» town meeting to the Assemblies ot the A the- niaus when about to be addressed by Demosthenes, &c. &c. We have like¬ wise his correspondence with Don Onis, theSpai '• ;h Minister, in which he cuts a miserable (ifore—and lastly his defence of General Jackson's murders. You are unlucky in bringing the Secretary's la¬ bours into d scnssion : if you had pro¬ duced no better writers, your literary character woald have becu'low indeed. The Reviewers complain that Judge Marshall, in \is life of Washington.leaves us in the dare as to his private and do¬ mestic histoiy, and accuse him of dull. ness and frnulily, that the narrative is diffuse and endiscriminating, & deficient iu almost every thing that constitutes his¬ torical excellence. This is apparently severe, but t<Cy allow that he displays i d istry. goid sense, and impartiality. Now it io impossible to read (if any body can read rcgvlarly through) the live pon¬ derous volun;>ser.fUIcd the Life of Wash¬ ington, vvitiuut joining in opinion with the Critics—nor is their admission that the work di%|tfys industry, good seu.se and impartianty,discordant with its dull¬ ness and frigidity, ccc. \on seem, notwithstanding your ap¬ parent indig\uti0U3 to entertain much the sameopiiiioi.irspecting[jariow's(jolum. bind as the Reviewers, foryou take care to quote no fim passages, nor do you ex¬ press particu;u. praise. Xhc admirers of Barlow can have no relish for Homer and Virgil. It is not easy to follow you through the remainderof this section. You quote the Edinburgh Review in opposition to itself, marshalling passages in favour of the United States with oihers unfavour¬ able, to shew its (nconsistei cy. But how came it not to occur to a person of )our discrimination that the works reviewed called for different awards. Your letter was praised. The Federalist was ex¬ tolled—Franklin's works admired far beyond their merit—your Government held up as a model—your measures laud¬ ed as the bright emanations of wisdom : and so strongly rHd this Review plead your cause that it lost many of its friends, who could not look upon a Journal as honest which supported the monstrous pretensions of a people aiming at the de¬ struction of Great Britain. But unless the Clitics yield implicitly and praise every thing without discrimination, you are dissatisfied. You next revert to Negroe Sla7ery, in which, as in every thing else, Great Bri¬ tain is the principal aggressor; but on this subject, after the recent decision of C- ngress, little need be said. You now expatiate on the severity of the Engli-h criminal law, and in this we agree.as I believe most men do, but what connexion has this with the Reviews— none—it is noticed for the purpose of de¬ preciating as much as possiblethc land of your Fathers. Yet the inference of a peison conversant with bo(h nations would not be very favourable to your s\stem. In England he would ay crimes are sometimes puniahed loo severely, hut in America they are not punished at all —the criminals are let loo»e to prey up¬ on the public, for the system of confine¬ ment for all sorts of crimes has evidently failed. The same remark may be made on con¬ finement for debt. In Great Britain Debtors may be frequently punished too severely by their Creditors, but iu the United States thev are not punished at all—hence the frauds, breaches of trust, Arc. &c. which are infinite!) more nu¬ merous than in England. In your conclusion respecting the Ed¬ inburgh Review, few among your coun¬ trymen will agree. They will net be astonished to perceive in a work so vo¬ luminous, and prepared by so many dif¬ ferent hands, some discrepancies, and they will find so many more passages fa¬ vourable than unfavourable to America that they will still continue to consider it their friend. purchafed the fuperL library of the Duke deCafTano;it has been put on board an Englifli veflel, to be conveyed to London.

The plans of thofc people were moft ex- tei'fively laid for twenty miles round this? and nothing but wat:t of confidence in each other and the terror that feized the better kind them, when they came to the immediate profpeA of butchering their neighbor* and friends, prevented feri- ous mifchief. Many thoufands of them, however, were out in arms on Wednefday evening, the 5th of April, but not more than 4 or 500 ever got to one point; and in every quarter the disappointment as to numbers, was fo great as to difpirit them entirely ; they counted on the people of England rifing at the fame time ; alf • on 16 pieces of cannon from the Carron- works, in both of which they were difappointed.

From the Manchester Herald for April 11,1820. Copy of a Letter from the Secretary of Mate's Ojfiee in Rome, to the Queen of England's Chamberlain^ dated Feb* ruary tilth,, 1820. The Cardinal Secretary of State re¬ ceived yesterday evening the request, to cause a guard to be placed at the door of the mentioned Palace, and likewise made known to him, that a categorical answer was expected upon this subject. The ob¬ servations which the above«aid Cardinal made yesterday morning, verbally, when you, by orders you had received, called at Iu-. apartments, not having permitted him to answer directly to the Royal Per- souage who did him the honour to write to him, is under the necessity of request¬ ing you to lay before the same the fol¬ lowing. His Holiness's Government cannot jrrant the guard to my Lady the Coun¬ tess Oldi. No guard is given to private persons ; and when eveo Royal Priucej travel incognito under a piivatc name, they do not receive this distinction.
