t\'li? LORD AND GEN‘l‘L'F.MI~‘.t\'--.—I sincerely
thank you; to be remembered when my conn-
trymen are celebrating the Cause of l“recdom
and humanity, cannot fail to he grateful--to be
so remembered, when a personal and valued
friend is the object of the celebration, cart ies with
it a double satislitction—--and you will allow me to
say, that if any thing could enhance the pleasure
of such feelings, it is the consciousness that our
meeting can give just offence to no um‘. Top-
ics too often have risen up amongst us, where the
best feelings were painfully at vat-iance—whcre
silence would have been guilt, and utterance was
miserv. ‘But surely here, at length, is an occa-
sion where neither sect or party are opposed——
where, every man in the country may clasp his
bt'othct‘ by the hand, and feel and boast the elec-
iric coimmunication. To unmancle the slave-—
to unscé-iptt'e the despot-—to erect an altar‘ on the
Inquisi_tion’_.-3 .Grave—-to raise a people to the at-

Sci:nce and of Commerce---to create a Constitu-
tion, beneath vrliose ample arch cvery creature,
no matter what his scct, his color or his climc,
may stand sublimein the dignity of manhood—-
these are the glorious object-slof this enterprise,
and the soul must be imbruted, and the heart
must be ossifted, whicfr_does, not glow witlrtlie

ject as to d:ny it ?—\Vherq is the statesman who
can rise from the page of Spjatiisli South Ameri-

of her husb.tnd,and nearly supported by him and
his family. The guilty pair left the country for
America, and shortly after their arrival at Phila-

of you ; I have accomplished my purpose.’ On
their ol)»et'vit1".g to him what a rash man he was
to commit such a tleetl, and that,be had signed

was perfectly satisfied, and wished to stiffer; she
had been a base woman’—on which his wife said.
‘ indeed, Henry, I freely forgive -you; come and

from satisfactory. They represent the popula-
tion of that quarter as deeply incensed, against
the constituted authot'ities~in ctmscqttence of the

though the people abstain from any violation of
the peace, yet it is known that their minds are
full ofdangcrous agitation. They impose a great-
er restraint upon the expression of their feelings,
they show more reserve in the communication of
their opinions than Englishmen ,g.e'ner-ally do;
they seem anxious to know what.is thought. ill

was a native of Rhode Island, having been born

: During the summer of‘the present yea‘-ll‘. Com.
Perry was selected by government for '._an'ac‘tiv_e
command in the American seas. 'l‘liere is rea-
son to believe that, at the time of his death, the.
object of his cruise had not been compl‘e_ted.---
That object, as we have heard it 3\tggt+.tt:{.l,' was
onewhich required great delicacy as well as-'_vigor
in the execution; for, as has been supposed, it
combined a clearing of the neighboring seas of
pirates, with a due respect for vessels of war_-dct-

Miss Mason, of Newport, a daughter of Dr. hia-
son. This lady, (who is represented as having
been lovely and interesting,) with four children, _
we believe survives him. It may be some cynso-
lation to her, perhaps, to reflect. tlt-it the regrets
of the whole nation will mingle with her sorrows.
