Por?er has issued outers to nts cruisers 10 Carthagcna to receive ljoliar.

letter of that date : .

" It gives us great pleasure to sta'e that

there is ccry prospect of an immediate restoration to iranuuPitv. The Htitish

oppress him, having no prospect to procure himself any o;hcr proper occupa

Should the question be asked, whether

his conduct during thcexeicise of his of ficial duties of late, was pleasing or not I

he must confess, that he has not yet learn

cd the art to please one, and therefore

(being perfectly satisfied, that his con

science cannot upbraid him with any act

of wilful errors,) he is not solicitous to

know the reply.

II re-elected, he will continue to act for the best lying in his pow er, if not, and howsoever it may be, he feels a duty, finally to express, that ttie giatitude he so jutly owes for the m?ny past liberal suffrages, ever remembered, shall in no wise be lessened.
