In a second letter from -Mr. Dallas to Mr. Leiper, inserted in the Aurora of this morning, it is ftatcd, that, from our silence (as members of a late committee appointed at Dunwoody's) in answer to the fir ft letter, he is entitled to presume that a rumour of our having dHlented from the report made to that meeting, is well founded. Although the truth of rite po fit ions, contained in the report of that committee could not receive much support or dimi nution from the avowal or disavowal of our afient to them, yet we think it jit ft to declare, that we perfectly approved and concurred in' the report, and that we have yet neither seen nor heard any thing to alter our opinion on the fub jeft.

Extract of a Utter from a Politician of rank and consider ation abroad to his JYtcnA at home. " You will have heard of the extraordi nary success which has attended the French arms, through the course of the prefenc campaign. If it were polfible for tbe Go vernments of Europe to take leJons from ex perience, there was an opportunity, last winter, which might have produced a gene ral peace. Buonaparte had >uft seated him felf at the head of the French, Governmen t powers had, in form, few limits, in sub stance scarcely any ; but his authority was new, and extremely precar'nfus. Peace was for his incereft, and he prpbabi,' wiflied for it. Hut Austria refilled the terms he offer ed, and England refufed evento negociate. The refufal of Austria was foely, and pro felTsdly, because flic ly continuing the war to make greater conqiefts of terri tory ; —and such was her tjlugl, infatuated confidence in her own means -that (lie wan tonly threw away, from tlte ft me spirit of \ capqurft, the alliance of Ruil'ia, which had j been th« great means of her success in the last campaign. 'J'he French had tkea f chehousi.t übsi'Ollsd the &ing of Sar dinia, of all his domimons on'tfir continent.' One of the express prirpofes for which Au stria and Ruflia began the w„r was to re. store them to hjm ; But no focner had Au stria gut in poflcfiion of the strong places of Piedmont, tbertUhe harfelf lays claim to the j Country itfelf, and relufes to rf store it to the King of Sardinia. Nothing could be more natural than the indignation of the Emperor of Rulfia at this Cijiduft of his ally.'iior is it l'orprifiljg that m consequence of it, he (liould immediately -vithdraw his troops, and enter into a negaciation with Pruflia to defeat the ambitioUs views of Aullna ; not content with this, the Au strian Gnvernm'nt removed from the com mand of their army upon tlte Rhine, the Arch Duke Charles whole military talents were certainly great, who had repeatedly re pelled the iiivafions of the Ficnch, 011 this iide of the Rhine, and who was worth a large army by the mere attachment and enthu liafm ot his army to liini—lt is beyond all c}ou.bt that hfe was removed, because the Autlrian Prime Miiifter, 'J'he Baron de Thugut, was afraid c.f his influence again ft. hiiul'rll'. Thus wit'n one haiitl, Austria larned herfelf fbr war, and with'tfie other rejefled Peace. She is now Tuffernig tl;t penalties of her infatuation? her armies, both ill Germanvand It 11 y h ivebeeii defeated with tmmepfe U'f-, Mid (he has by tlie iflue of a (ingle day been expelled from the whole of that Piedriiont, for winch (he so ftrangcly -spurned the alliance- of Ruflia— She will now deem herfelf efctremely fortu nate to fettle again with the fame territory, I Ihe |iad, when the war.began. The Eoglilh Governtue nt, without being chargeable on this occafiijn, with such ex treme folly, as that of the Auftrinns, can by no means be complimented for their wiftlom. They, 'who had twice sent to alk for peace of the French directory, now twice rejeded the offers of Buonaparte to treat, and aggravated this rejeftion, by public personalities in both Houl'es jot' Parliamrnc againll Buonaparte. They will now again be compelled to implore peace of the very man, whose offers they fpunied, and whole petfon they insulted. Of the three allies, afusr all, the condutt of Rullia is the molt though the violent fUrts from one Mctrtyrie of Policy, to .mother, which llir has d'feovered, are not arguments of penetration or of csnfidency, St" the dilgrace into which every person has fallen who had any agency in the forme r fyQem, has been extended bevond the bounds of jii(lice aud of prudeuce—That Country has now furnifhed the world .vith one more example" on what foundation liands the warrior's pride.'* S a war row nine months ago, che grcatefl general in Europe < whom | through a long military life, victohv had ' scarcely once abandoned o;i the field t.f bat tle invetled by two fovereixns with prin cely titles and dignities, pray'd for by name, iin conjOir£\Jnn with the Emperor, in all the Churches throughout Utiffin, within the ■ space of fix'itfonths is recalled iiorne. entire ly difgraeed, and dies in solitude and ob fciirity ; defer ted by all the wo/Id : the Em peror liiml'eW having refufea to fee him And for all this not even a pretext is made known to ;he Public. ,k Oh liiw wretched Is thit poor man, who hangs cn princes fa vours-" It is the province of wildom to take found and good advice, tlio' it he given by an <- i>c my. As the bee extrad\s honey from p<:i foii, so ought Republican Fpderalifts to pro fit by whslefome counsel, Ihbuld it even I e f :und in the Aurora. i 111 his jjs.pcr ol' the 31ft of O&obcr, the Editor of the Aurora cautions the of Perjnlylvan'u, refpeSlng their legislature at Laucafter, and indicates very intelligibly an opinion that as in the Polilh Diet where '• the deltiny of the nation jvas dependent on a sirgle vete, the Machiavilian policy of courts, whose ambition levels all maxims of morali ty, could not be blind to such a contin.gen cy," so; if there be a fiimlar contingency now exiding in Pennsylvania, similar attention will be paid to it. This hint ought not to be neglettid. tt isperfetSily ascertained that in the Senate of Pennsylvania the federal republican Major ity is Only two; so that bringing over ore man deflroy* this majority. Oil-preventing this, exists the hope of every well wisher to a fair and equal reprelentation of t: e good peo ple of Pennsylvania- This elettion depending on this single vole, and the ccurt at Lancaster not being " blind to such a contingency," the event will shew, whether" a Machiavi'i>n policy," or, " an ambition which levels all maxims of morality," will succeed with thissingle vote, and thereby refufeto the republican ps Pennsylvania the invaluable right of being repefented in their ele&orial college. £Washington Federalist 1 ® W- ® Oto- [OFFICIAL.] Department of State.
