From the Virginia Aavvcaie In these three volumes will be tuuud cop ies of the official opinions given in w riting oy inc to general Washington, while secretary of state, with some limes the documents belonging to the case Some of these arc the rough draughts, some press copies, some lair ones. In the earlier part of my acting in that ofticr, I took no other note ol the passing transactions, but, after a wiii.'c, I saw the nn poriance of doing it, ii aid of my memory Very often therefore I made memorandums on Uc scraps of papei, taken ut ol my pocket in the moment, and I icl by to be eop ied fair at leisure, which however they hardiy ever were. These scraps therefore, ragged, rubbed, and scribbled as they were, 1 had bound with the others by a binder who came in o my cabinet, did it under my own eye, and

without the opportunity olyriding a single

paper. At this day, aucr the lapse or twentyfive years, or more, from their dates, I have given to the whole a calm rcvisal when the

passions of the time arc past away, and the reasons of the transactions act alone on the iudement. Some of the informations I had

recorded are now cut nut from the rest; be

cause I have seen that they were incorrect, or

doub'ful, or personal, or private, with which tve have nothing to do. 1

But Hamilton was not only a monarchist.

but for a monarchy bottomed on con option.

In proof of this I will relate an anecdote, lot

the truth of which I attest the God who made

me Hi fore the presiden: set out on his sou them tour in April 179 , he addressed a let

ter of the 14lh of that mouth, from Mount

Vernon to the secretaries of state, the treasury and war, desiring that, if any important ca

ses should arise during his absence, they

Would consult and act on them, and he te-

cjucstcd that the vice president should also

be consulted. This was the only occasion on which that officer was ever requested to take

part in a cabinet question Some occasion of

consultation atising, I invited those gentle mt n (and the attorney general, as well as I re

member) to dine with me in order to confer

on the subiect. After the cloth ws rcmo

ved, and our question agreed and dismissed,

conversation bean on other matters, and by

s.omc circumstance, was led to the British constitution, on which Mr. Adams observed purge tint constiluion of its corruption, and

g ivc to its popular branch equality ol repre

sentation, and it would he the most perfect

consti'ution devised by the wit of man " Hamilton paused and said, " purge it of its

corruption, and ive to its popular branch c

quality of representation. anl it will become

an impracticable goernmcnt : as it stands at present, with all its supposed delects, it in the .most perfect government which ever existcd " And this was assuredly ihe exact line which separated the political creeds of tho-.c two gentlemen. The one was for two hereditary branches and an honest elective one : the other with a hereditary king with a house of lords and commons, corrupted to his will, and standing between him and the people. Hamilton was indeed a singular character. Of accu'e understanding, disinterested, honest, and honorable in all private transactions amiable in societv, and duly valu ang viuue in private life, yet so bewildered and perverted by the B ilish example as to be under a thorough conviction that corruption was essential to the govern fncntof anation Mr Adams had otiginally been a republican, the glare of royalty and no Tbiti'.y, during his mission to England, bad made him believe their fascination a necessary ingredient in government, and Shav's re bcllion, not sufficiently understood where he then was, seemed to prove that the absence of want and oppression wis not a sufficient guarantee of order. His book on the American constitutions having made known his political bias, he was taken up by the monarch ic fede-aiists, in his ahscrcc, and on his return to the United States he was bv them made t Relieve that the general disposition of our citizens wis favorable to monarchy He here wrote his Davilaus a supplement to the former work, and his election to the presi

dency confirmed his errors. Innumerable ad dresses too, artfully and industiiously poured

in upon him, deceived him into confidence

that he was on the pinacle of prosperity,

when the gull was yawning at his feet which

was to swaitovv up him and his deceivers.

tor when general Washington was with

drawn, these energunieniot loyalism, kept in check hitherto by the dread of his honesty,

his firmness, his patriotism, and the authority

of his name, now mounted on the carol state

and free from control, like Pl.x on on that of

the Sun, drove headlong and wild, looking neither to right nor left, nor regarding any thing but the objects they wcie driving at,

until, displaying these lully, the eyes ol the

nation were opened, and a general disband-

ment of them Irom the public councils took p'acc. Mr. Adams, I am sure, has been lorn since convinced of the ticacheries with which he was surrounded duiing his administration. He has since thoroughly seen that his constituents were devo cd to republican government, and whether his judgment is resettled on its ancient basis, ot not, he is conformed as a good citizen to the will of the majoiity, and would now, I urn persuaded, maintain its republican structutc, with the zeal and fideli ty belonging to his character. For even an enemy has said " he is always an honest man ?nd often a great one," but in the fury and follies of those who made him their staiki.ig horse, no man who did not uiiruss it, can form an idea of their unbridled madnt ss, and the error ism with which they surrounded themselves. The horrors of the French revolution then raging, aided them mainly, and using that as a raw head and bloody bones, they were enabled by their stratagems tlleir tales of tubplots ocean masscrcs, bloody buoys, and pulpit lyings and slanclet ings, and maniacal ra vings of their Gardners, their Qgoods and Parishes, to spread alarm into all but ther firmest hi easts. Their attorney genet al had tl.e impudence to say to a republican membet that deportation mus be rcsoi ted to, of which, said he, you republicans have set the exam pie, thu- daring to imify us with the murderous Jacobin ot Fra:u e. i hesc transactions, now iccollcet'.d hut as dreams ol the night, were thvn sail lealilies, and nothinr
