It is calculated, and was doubtless defigneel, to impress an opinion that the adn-.iniftratieji of Pfdident-WASHINGTON, was too prodi gal of the public money, in the negotiation ■vVit(i Great.Britain, and that I defivedextra vagant emoluments from it.. Calumny, in)' dear Sir, has been nn en gine of party, in all countries, and pirticular ~ly in EUctisc Gpv.ernmentlt is an evil which, originating in the corruption of hu man nature, is without reined*, and conse quently is to be borne patiently. The es teem of the wife and good is valuable, and to acquire and preserve it, is all that ambi tion ought to aim at. As to the Itatement question, you are desirous to* know ex'ttly how far it deviates from the truth ; and to gratify this desire, I will give you a concise and aecurate (late of the faclt. Being at Philadelphia on official business, in May, 1794. Prelident Washington desired me to go as ' Envoy, to Great Britain. I earrefHy endeavoured to fix his attention elsewhere ; but he persevered, and I found jt impoljiblc to reconcile it with my. duty to persist ift declining*th'e"appointment. Cir cal causes, furported him againlt the intrigues, libels, and mkchina tions of the Republic of Paris. 1 " These words will immediately present to the feader's mind the oame of Gen, IV Jb. ins;ten.

Citizen, who di«d in the 68th year of his age at .hi« house in Virginia, in c»nfequeijce of a sudden disorder, which carfried him off In twenty-fottr hotfts " What rank will history assign to this character among the coternporaries whole names have borne the gre-tell laftre ? It may be made a qucflion whether Washington. as a General and State Oman. equalled n ge nius Prince iugent, Frederick II or Chat ham ? But how is it poflifcle with p:opr ety to compare irie.n who are placed in situations do wife analagubs ? " Were wc allowed to venture an opin ion bn this fubjedt we would observe, that if H'a/hington was inferior to some other il lustrious men in extant and boldnefa of mind, lie furpafTed them by the union of qualifies and talents ;he molt rarely found together, and by a character almoll faultlefs. " C< nftitution, foul, afld intelleft, were in him inconstant harmony, and perfeflly adapted to his public career. It mi?ht be said 1 hat Providence had created him for the part he ha*. fudained, for the people he govern ed. and £u.r the circumttaucea in which his country (food. At Athens, his lot would have been that of Ariftides or Phoeim ; in a Republic well conflituted and long titabliih ed, hia ferviccs would not have beeu called forth | in a corrupt republic he would have chofea pri 1 ate Itation ai thi pot tf htn our. •• In his military and political ife, wis dom was the prominent feature of his char ter.

" At the head of ti « Republic, heprtfervefi the lame uprightntft and tho fame spirit of eondiic* by which he had been guided in battle. He was- indebted to the excellence of his judgment, as well as to the afena dency of his public and private virtues, for the permanence of the reputation he enjoy, ed. Nisfpceches, letters, anions, were al ways marked with the fame real'on, and that ftion'g good sense whith is the highest gifi of nature to a public man, and his highefV merit ; that good feufe which alone the agitations of the foul, and corre&s the wandrnngi of the understanding. " The habitml moderation of Wasbing- Ich, his firmnefs which was ever calm and well-timed, his prudence, which neither difficulty nor pfciHnn, neither hop* nor fear i could shake, his superiority to all artifice and intrigue, and his ait Ms politics, dicta ted by a just rliiniation ot times, men, and things, have never degenerated for a ipo r mrnt. Placed >1 the head of an infant Re public, he acquired all the dignity . usually billowed on high offices by the force of cui ftom and of age } and'he preserved it as if he had ruled America for a century : his administration was better fuppnrted '•/ re fpe&t and confidence than by laws or armies^ "He has not been charged with a vjti h or a weakness. No one has railed a doubt of his integrity or his difintereftrd nefs. Free from ambition, he never would h:ive fought fnperier rank, or have been anxious «o make a figure: he was led to them by his services, the general eftrem he atfatfrd, and bycircumftantes. In him su periority was pardoned ; the jealouly #f his equals vanilhed before the. admirable fimpli ility of his manners, the purity of his morals, and the re&itude of his condadt-—ln short neither a vain love of glory, nor the desire of diftiuAion, nor any prrfoaal view, ever gave a bias to his patriotism, which was the principle of all his thoughts, and the spring of all his aflions. *33 33 s<*7® ** *9 S 9 JOHN JAY. " If the title, so much abufrd, tf a great man, ought t« be reierved for one whof* i'uccefs never injured juttice or honour, and in whom greu virtues united with great talents, who shall refufe it to Washington ? " IS any can add to his glory and deferp, it is the insolent temerity of fonie buffoons of liberty, who, in our Jays, boast * fVasbingten, Le Stcigucr,and Marmun- Ul i F om the Briti/l life cury to Jijvc made tiiill tiieir mAt, and who douln not ttrcy lave for; affed him.
