I hope a Speedy answer will be the means of settling a correspondence with Your obedient servant. i' He think it unnecessary to make any observations upon the establishment of an Agricultural Society, the proceedings of which are given at full length in a for¬ mer part of our paper. The advantages resulting from such an Institution am too obvious to be neglected, and zee have no doubt but it zcill meet uith general support and encouragement throughout trie ZUv'/'icrl The Proclamation of the President of ike United States ^inserted above, contains the neto treaty betzceen that poner and Great Britain. This treaty^ consisting of six articles, regulates the fisheries on the coasts of Nezofoundland and Labra¬ dor.—provides for marking a boundary line from the Lake of the Woods to the .Stony Mountains)—refers the claim for the restitution of slaves, carried aicay from the territories of the United States during the late wm\ to the decision of a friendlypozeer, and further continues in force the treaty of Ghent for the term of ten years. It zrill be seen that the diffe* fences zchich have taken place on the subject <\f the fisheries, are terminated by scant- ingtothe Americans for ever the right of ^slii/'goji certain parts of the coast* and if drying and curing their fish on the tin- settled parts of the shores* of Newfound- Jtwd and Labrador. This concession, which silt materially affect the trade of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland* zcill probably he regarded in those colonies as a sacrifice of their interest, zchile the Eastern States zaill consider it not as a matter of favor, but as a right recovered. Iji whatever light this subject be viewed, the treaty is certainly advantageous to the Unuea States, and evinces the earn¬ est desire of Great Britain to establish our friendly relations with them on solid $nd durable foundations.

It has been customirv to cou-i.lvr this passion as the mark of a little mind, and to give great credit to those who do not display it: yei it may be much doubted whether we arc any of us wholly free from it. Men should take so much of their character from the situations in which they are placed, that it i< difficult 10 form a correct estimate of worth. The herb whom a l-ing varies of good fortune has crowned with honors may listen to the praises of another's skill «ith gratification, for he ha- already attain¬ ed the eminence towards which the less favored -1. *. --•iwlit}.r .y*n* if iln/*.

Few of us indeed are exempt from this <♦-• -ir*of excluding others to beuetit ourselves, which W mostly felt in proportion to our eager- fi.e-*S tor the desired good. This universal passion is Chiefly Caused by the want of correct judgment. Prosperity when at¬ tained, seldom realizes the expectation. Posses¬ sion scoots o rob it of much of iis value, which is immediately transferred to some object beyond our reach, and thus our desire< remain utnrratih- ed. Cut could we reflect coolly on the little hap¬ piness enjoyed in any situation, m» trifling would the balance be against us, and so often in our fa- vor,'hat temporary success must attract Utile no¬ tice. Another incitement to this propensity is ihe arrogance assumed by those whom fortune ha-favoured with her smiles. Few have pa¬ tience 10 wait till their superiority is-discovered, but demand your admiration by imperious airs, which create unwillingness to allow their pre- teiiMons. The wise dVgutt by their pedantry, beaut) is rendered odious by affectation, a:;d tiie great offend by their hauteur. All Peek to ob- t;:ui more credit than they deserve, and to im- press%ou with a high idea of the advantages they euje-v, to your exclusion. This creates a pain¬ ful restraint, which we would willingly spare our feeling-, either by aiming at their heigh?, or bv bringing them down to our level. At le.ist we v.i>h tbeni no further mean- of giving us di>- pleasure. To oftfer a remedy for this fault ill Oth¬ ers would be impossible. Not to excite it b> any action of our own, and to avoid uiosc who unfor¬ tunately indulge it,mighi in some degree discou¬ rage it/pn valence. From our own bo-oms it maj easily be eradicated,by truly appreciating the comforts we have in oik power, and justly ea- t'rmatmg-thedifficulties of tho-e around us.
