Mr answer to your leUer printed the t -. . lSthof beptcmoer imsi, nas occu rciar j-j because it did not come to hand these few days. The difHcul- t cf communication and the distance between your continent aud ours have jsterpostd Darners noi easy 10 surmouni. I will not discuss the theological part f tour letter; here is no occasion lor a tootforersy; Abuses are parasite plants Outatuch themselves to things the most jjtftd but abuses are not tnmgs. it would be unjust to judge of religion torn its heterogeneous adjuncts, be cause oa that principle we must pro Kribe bread and wine, iron & the print iag press, since abuses have deteriora ted their use. If ignorant people have crrerdone and misapplied the use of i isages and statues m catholic churches U is not the less tnit that these statues and pictures serve as a vehicle to piety by recalling the remembrance of the heroes of Christianity. The portrait of Warrenf one of the founders of Ameri can liberty, will always awaken tecol lection dear to your countrymen In Eke manner the poor, the orphan in eve ry country, will be moved at those pic tures which represent Saint Vincent de P,olr, opening asylums to indigence, wretchedness and age. The protestants el Europe, formerly so decided against paintings in their churches, are now so tir rtcorered from that prejudice, that they decorate their temples with them, is ynu may have seen, as well as I, at Bath, Bristol and other places. The same reason that attaches the rrsptxt of the catholics to religious em blems must wound their hearts & grie vous!? afflict them, where irreverence for these emblems outrages their piety. Such was not yout motive, ray dear friend, in suffcringto be inserted in your magniScent poem the engraving which I regret, and which you now regret to see in that work. , I am well persuaded that it will neer enter into your views to gire the least pain to your catholic brethren, I see with great pleasure that you render homage to revelation ; ia this you differ from a very great number of European protestants, espe cially in Germany where many of their, doctors seem to have conspired against cimv unity. Under an apparent res . .1 ... peti mcy conceal tneir project 01 Demo lishing it by the new system (nouvelle ei gtse rtrklartmg ; the translator is no: acquainted with this new declare aw cf the German doctors) ; it is' the meltable result of a fundamental prin ciple of their sect and of yours, which au thorises every individual to interpret the Kb!e in his own way ; he consequently nds in it whatever he wishes. To the simple unity of truth he associates all uie aberrations of delirium, Bousset had predicted that the protestants would arrive at this poin$. Bousset was right ; I have amply developed the proofs of it ia my History of the religious sects that have been born, modified and ex tinguished, irom the beginning of the 18 h century to this day' This is a ork in two volumes. Jts publication has met with some difficulties ; if they re ever removed I will send you the work. You likewise recognise the .immense hentEu of the gospel 1 this naturally Isads one to say, that in the order of things whatever is essentially good at all tmcs and in all places, is' essentially ; for in the last analysis these two ePthets roust both apply to the same thject.' "... ' - ..... Never but once did you appear at the of the National Convention, and that s to present an address from the Con mional Society of London. To say Jr1 yu cme there to profess atheism, abnegation of religious principles, is n mwmous calumny. I likewise re mber that you often grieved with sacrilege" and the cruelties ktpJ'0? we fcKkntaad i uppreaaed ! 1 "tnch government- .1 j that dhhonorcd certain epochs of the French .revolution, and desolated the hearts of all good men. History wil: she that 1 h- secret promoters, the real artisans of these horrors were men the most enraged against liberty, which they wished to render odious. They had previously predicted our calamities, and H wt lhat heir prcdic. shouId notbc falsefied by the e?ent. I since you and your worthy spouse hate secured the esteem and auection of all those who had the pleasure of knowing you in Europe, where you hav so many sincere friends, I see with grief that in America you have enemies, not personal but political enemies, who make a torced and atusve use ot my letter, entitled Observation on the Co lum6iadtn to decry you, to divert the pub lic odium from themselves, and especial ly to exclude you from employments, to which you are called by your talents your experience and your probity. t Their perversity is an indirrct ho mage to the qualities which do you ho nor : but if their efforts are successful it will be a loss to the public. A man endowed with eminent virtues belongs more than another to his country, and. in this view. Barlow is to the United States a national property I persist in all that my former letter contains on the article of religion, but I give the lie in a formal manner to ail the inductions that ncrvcrsity would draw from it against your personal cha racter. The business of a journalist is that of an independent magistrate, and when conducted by justice and discernment it is very useful. He is the legislator ot opinion, he directs me puouc mmu 10 all that is pure and generous and great ; and this praise is due to many who fol low this occupation in your country. But you have others who seem devour ed with the lust of hatred, secretaries of crime and calumny, apothecaries of poi son ; their pages are open only to false hood and detraction, and they never ad mit a word of defence from the man they are assassinating. : In Europe likewise we have periodi cal and v rulent libels But though men in general arc suflkien ly provided with wickedness and credulity, these libels are so far decried, lhat if they continue to amuse the wicked, they hnve ceased to impose upon the credulous. I, my dear Barlow, am persecuted by infidels and fanatics. Moreover, the phenomenon extremely rare of a man professing the same principles in 1810, which he professed in 1789, ha roused ag-iinst me the Proteus gang, who have worn every livery and followed every banner. These men are compared im properly to Janus ; for he had but two fact s, they have thirty. T0 be calumniated is said to be a tax that the good man pays to the wicked. We may both complain of being over taxed ; but my friend we cannot hope to silence the hand of imposture, which repeats but never proves. Between vir tue and vice there can be neither peace nor truce the war is interminable. But there are two sorts of vengeance to be had on our enemies ; one is not to re semble them, the other is to do them good : thus prescribes the gospel. Under the attacks of a ft w despicable individuals you will easily console your self, my dear Barlow, by the etc5m of all others, in a country where estimable characters so much abound ; and you will sometimes call to mind the friends you have left beyond the Atlantic, par ticularly him who now addresses you. Our opinions disagree on the principles of religion, but they will always be in unison as to the obligation of loving our fellow creatures and laboring for their happiness ; and while some low-minded writers change the field of literature and science into an arena of gladiators, our. correspondence wil bear the character of that decency and dignity with which men ought to wriurwho respect the pub lic, who respect themselves and who have vowed to ea h Oiher a friendship that shall last them to the tomb. GREGOIRE, t Late Bithop of Blob, Senator, &c. f We believe the Bishop has either been misinformed or that he writes this passage, from mere conjecture. . It Is not probable that Mr. Barlow has been or will be excluded from' Eublic office by the efforts of enemies. We ave understood that he has always declined being considered as a candidate, and would refuse any place that could be offered him. There is no reason to doubt that he might, if he wished' it, attain to "some of the most eminent. " ,.... 3 . - From the National Intelligencer. The Aurora has opened its batteries upon an editorial article, which a few days since, appeared in this paper on our relations with France ; but for what substantial reasons it would puzzle even a conjurer to divine. Our readers will recollect that in that article a view was presented of 'he faint prospect of an ear ly accommodation with France, inferred principally from the style of the official note of the Due deCadore, its immediate publication by the French government, and 1 he extensive and unjust infractions ot our maritime rights. The Aurora has seen fit to perceive in this article the proof of a subservient spirit in the Na tional Intelligencer to the opinions of the members of Congress, on which, with an illiberality totally unworthy of a mind that claims fur itself the independent ex ercise ot its sentiments, it is declared to depend. In the article, which has cal led forth this denunciation, the reader will look in vain for any thing like sub serviency to any man or set of men. He will, on the contrary, find a fair statement of facts, accompanied by re marks, which, it will not be denied, are truly American. He will perceive the same independent tone held towards France, as towards England ; that tone, which is the pride of the Editor, has al ways been manifested towards every fo reign government that has outraged our rignts ; a tone which will continue to be maintained so long as American blood flows in b s veins. Ardent as his wishes are for the happinessof the whole human race, he has long believed it the duty of every American citizen to ral ly round his own government, and, ceas ing to place the least dependence on the justice of foreign powers, to be prepar ed to defend by force the rights and in terests of his country. It is this very motive, that has inculcated upon him the duty of tolerance ; of respecting the sentiments of virtuous and intelli gent men, however different they may be from his own, and, above all, of re fraining from denouncing friends from a mere difference of opinion ; or, if it will please the Aurora, of consulting I that will, which counsels deliberating minds, to be as useful as they can, if they cannot be as useful as they wish." And if the Aurora would occasionally take the counsel, which it upbraids others for pursuing, it would neither detract from its character or usefulness. Averse as we are, even to disgust, to controversies with te low-editors, we have thought it proper thus briefly to repel the unjust and intolerant r proach escast upon this print, which has been, from its commencement to this moment, conducted with perfect independence, and which would dtsdain to hold its ex istence at the will of any man or set of j Tien. The occasion may, however, be better improved to inculcate that tem per which the state of our affairs so loudly calls for. , In every emergency, it ought to be remembered, that our nation is compos- d of a number of independent states, in which interests, in some important respects various, prevail. We should never lose sight of the memorable fact, that the establishment of our indepen. dence, and the adoption of our costitu- tion, were the offspring of a spirit of conciliation, that magnanimously dicta ted mutual sacrifices ; and that the re publican system itself can never be maintained in its purity by any other means- The sentiment of tolerance ought, therefore,1 to be considered a- mong us as cardinal Tne existence of he republic and of the republican-party depend upon it ; and without union, the system would crumble to pieces. ' De pending -altogether upon public opinion, deprived of this basis it would have no means of defence against its enemies. Precious, however, as this union is, there are sacrifices, which it would be criminal to make for preserving iu It would be in the highest degree cri-, minal to countenance the sacrifice of any great principle, ; of any essential right, or attribute of sovereignty. b Nor should the distinctive feature of a free government, that the will of a majority should govern, ever be suffered to be nfnngcd. j When, then, that crisis came, which produced the embargo, tne local opposi tion to it, -wnicn menaced a resort to physical force, should have been effec tually put down, t :This' should have j been the first step, even if it had -been immediately xouowed by a repeal of the Exnbar z -But the embargo ought not I to have been repealed - until a longer time had been allowed for trying its ef fects or without a resort to war with the violators ot our ngnts. vv e nave mam- tainea mis, ana we mainia'u 11 sun. . ) a But a large majority of Cbngress tho't otherwise, repealed the embargo, and passed the non-intercourse law; They acted, in our opinion incorrectly, though honestly. We did not applaud, because w Ari nnt antique thlr roridiirt- The step was, however, takenand we felt it a duty to give it a Fairtexperiment, and . . not, by a useless reprobation, to lioid forth the idea to the foreign world, tnat owing to internal divisions, it woumv nui oe eniorcea. c s As we have intimated, we never were sanguine with regard to the good effects of this system. What those effects would have been, the memorable ar rangement with Mr. Ersjiine which so soon tnereatter ensuea, ana me conse- quent relaxations of Congress, preven ted us from ascertaining; The state ot things, with which we are all well ac quainted, followed, and produced the complicated embarrassments of the last session of Congress. That a great majority of the members of that body were actuated by patriotic motives we entertain no doubt. They certainly did not pursue tht system, which, in our opinion, Was best adapted to the interests ot the country; But, believing: that, with their various im pressions, they did the best they could we have seen no propriety in denounc intr them. 1 heir, measures are cer 1 . - tainly a fit subject of discussion ; but that discussion should be temperate, & above all, the motives of men, whose whole lives have manifested private worth and public virtue, should not be indiscriminately impeached For sale. .
