We find on turning to the Idler from. Mr. Metturson to Mr. Adams in which ti,e Mecklenburg Declaration is introduced, that he pronouccd it an unjustifiable quiz,' and speaks of Mr Hooper as the 'greatest Tory in Con' pes: This is harsh language, oVsuffi cnMitly accounts lor the, apparent want of respect which iMr. Jones seems to on terrain or the memory of the sage of Monticdlo. Rat. A From i Ik? Raleigh Register. The public have been lately informed that I contemplated the publication of a work entitled, A Vindication of the Character of the State of North Carolina from the aspersions of Mr. Jefferson as contained in his letter to the late John Adams, published in the 4th volume of the Boston edition of his works, p p ?14 15. I now propose through the public press, to suggest a more detailed account of the volume than is contained in its Prospectus and to point out the '.spcrsious which it is its object to con trovert. By reference to the objectionable let ter of Mr. Jefferson, it will be found, that the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence is the subject of his corres pondence, and that that even in our his tory is insultingly denied because, not only the language in which his denial is couched is contemptuous the reason upon which he doubts shallow and the whole spirit of the letter obviously ma lignant but the character of the State viially assailed by a reflection on the pat riotism of William Hooper, and of the Signers of the National Declaration of Independence from North Carolina. After all this abuse of the State, in his tory, and its men, in the true spirit of de ception, he disclaims all intention of im puting any doubtfulness to North Caroli na. No State was more fixed or forward he exclaims and yet he had in a few precedng lines, aspersed in the grossest manner the character of her Representa tive on the most illustrious trying occa sions of her political existence. If North Carolina delegated the rankest tory in Congress to sign on her behalf the Na tional Declaration of Independence, the State and the Delegate must sink togeth er. If the staunch whigs, Caswell and Penn admitted to be so even in his letter) permitted their associate to play the double part of a Whig at home, and a tory in Congress, they too must sink, notwithstanding the approbation of Mr. Jefferson. In the refutation of these charges, 1 have concluded to divide my proposed work into three Chapters the first com prising a history of the rise of the Revo lution, in which the events which prece ded the Mecklenburg Declaration, will be discussed, and the virtue of no doubt fulness rescued, from the uncertain au thority of our assailant. In the course of this chapter too, I shall have an op portunity of discussing the Military dis cipline adopted by the Congress of Au gust 1775, and of introducing to the no tice of the public the oVeds of those who were foremost in all the perils of that clouded, day There are besides in sever al of the standard Works of this time, misrepresentations of. various events in our history, which may properly be cor rected in the first chapter, and all such corrections will, in every instance be sup ported by the best authority. The second chapter will be devoted exclusively to the Mecklenburg Decla ration. The grounds upon which Mr. Jefferson doubted its authenticity, will be discussed and the most indisputable evidence drawn, not only from the testi mony of living men, but from the annals of the State, will be exhibited in its fa vor. Not n shadow of doubt as to the truth of that most honorable event in our history, shall remain. In the third chapter, I shall vindicate IN tawwM "am .P om naked I assertion umthewns tl.o rnnb-.V 7 .ussJrv by a slmr, tJI -r.'y ' congress t: an,. . . V ",s Political clmr- an cter am! ill,,.

This looks ominous of evil. Augusta Chronicle. Latest from Europe. Enysh papers to the 1st of May have been received at New York. They contain but little of importance, except that the British Min istry had been defeated upon a motion to reduce the duly on Malt; and as a neces sary consequence had tendered their re signations to the King, which were not accepted. They brought the question again before the House, and if the same decision should again be made, they can not retain their offices. We perceive by the late debates in the English Parliament, . that the annual a mount of taxation, direct and indirect, by that government, is stated at fifty two millions pounds sterling, or about two hundred and thirty millions of dollars. Liverpool, April 30. The transac tions in our Cotton market last week were , not extensive. The proposed re duction in duty produced but little effect on the Market, the common and inferior qualities of American being offered in quantity afforded buyers a wider range of choice, and in such we note a trifling reduction.
