"Mrs. Hough and I now sat down in silent sorrow, and almost in despair, for every moment we expected the Burmans in the night, according to their custom, to plunder our house, and in such a defenceless state, dreadful indeed must be our situation. About i 2 o'clock, some friendly Burmans came to inform us that several English ships had reached the town, at the same time we were assured, by our Burman Christians and all around us, tliat when the first gun was fired upon the town, every white man would be immediately massacred.

Authority, in its mildest form, was regarded as a burden Le gal restraint, though proceeding from the Keprescntatives of the people tairly elected, was denounced atyrau ny and almost every act of the Gov ernment was considered as tainted with corruption. These convictions were alleged, not by a small faction but by a powerful party not by the ignorant alone, but by many men of learning, science, and wealth. To preserve the good order of the com munity without violence, to induce acquiescence in the measures of ad ministration by the application of rca son and argument, and, admit the throes of European revolution, to en force respect for the country abroad, was not a light task.

1'arties were not disposed to be pleased. The ex travagant clamours of the one, exci ted the animosity of the other. Al tercation was exasperated by the ef fort to wrest the Executive reins out of the hands of a certain class of lead ing statesmen, and to place them in those ot a different description; and thus situated, the President found it difficult to pursue the course indicated by his own impartial judgment, with- out giving onance to Ins professed friends or avowed enemies. Mr. John Adams was imbued with a spirit historically prophetic.

He a passion for liberty would degener- ate into a passion for conquest that the defence of the new Republic a- gainst roval and foreign leagues, would produce formidable armies that the triumphs of these armies would in- spire national pride and that the sound doctrines of rational freedom would be postponed or slighted for the pursuit of military dory. How just these anticipations were, how fatal was their realization, the atrocious massacres of the Robesperian reign, the martial, magnificent, and tremen- ous sway of Nepoleon, his frightful reverses and disastrous downfall, too fearfully and truly tell It is the duty, but it is not always favourable to the present popularity of a ruler, to act upon the probability ot future results. The generality of mankind do not see them and, influ enced by the immediate pressure of surrounding circumstances, yield to readily to the impulses ofthemonent lime and opportunity are afforded for perversiou artful politicians in sinuate impurity of motives and im propriety of design and neither hon esty nor sagacity often meet with ind ited reward until posterity occupies the scene, and envy and jealousy have been subdued by death. In proceed ing upon the contemplation of what was likely to be the ultimate issue ot the convulsions of Europe in con tempt of current appearances, Mi- Adams sacrificed temporary personal advantages for the subsequent benefit of the Uuion. There is no recorded trace of his devotion to Great Britain none of a settled hostility to France If he urged war upon the latter for her manifold insults and outrages, he also made peace with her, removed an inconvenience, and saved the United States, from the dilemma of violating their national faith or exhausting their national resources.

The sruarnn'tee of the French West-India Islands, from which they were absolved by the treaty of 1800, was a weighty respon sibility, and one of solemn import. Circumvented in the measures of his Cabinet by Mr. Pickering, assail ed in his policy by the pen of General Hamilton, reproached, derided, and reviled by the republican party, he was compelled to seek safe counsel chiefly from his own reflections and if there were occasions on which he manifested irritation, candor may ascribe it to the peculiarity of his situation. It is in saints alone, or, per haps, in philosophers in retirement, and not in men engaged in the direction of human affairs, that we should expect to find a total indifference to the infidelities of associates, the car-piugs of rivals, and the unceasing im putations of inveterate adversaries. Ot all the measures of Mr.

John Adam's administration, there are hut two which have not been profusely imitated by his successors. The navy, the army, fortifications, banking, tax es, war, and constitutional consttic- tions, have all been carried to a great er extent than he ever proposed or ef- fected. If the Alien and Sedition laws were enacted during his Piesi dency, they were more the offspring of party zeal than of a premeditated determination to infringe the liberty of speech and of the press. They have passed away, and every one now agrees that they were neither salutary nor expedient.

Buffalo, (4tb mo.) April 2, 3f can never be described, uur gooa-Christian, Mating Shawabe, seemed to participate very deeply in our sorrows, assured us that liod was able toueiiv- er our husbands, and falling upon the Hour, offered up a most fervent peti tion, in their behalf. It was a most srtleinn season. I thought it was no other than the house of God, and the very gate of heaven. At last the moi ning dawned, and we learned that no ship had reached the town. Mrs.

Hough addressed a let ter to an Armenian gentleman, of her acquaintance, who was quite influen tial among the Burmans, begging him to exert his influence in favour of Mr- II. and W. He returned an answer, saying that he had already made eve ry exertion tor his own satety. we sent our husbands breakfast and a letter, requesting permissioa to share their horrid prison. Thus the morn- ug passed in this dreadful state of sus pense, until we tormea the tiesperate resolution of preparing their dinners, and carrying it to them ourselves.

The consequence could not be worse than our anticipated fate. I was more composed to day than last night but oh, what a scene did my past life pre- entto my mind, in view of the bar of (rod, before which I expected imme- uately to appear, and how very im perfect and impure seemed my devo- lon to God yet he who has said, my grace is sufficient for ified his iromise, for I never before felt such a weet assurance that my name was written in heaven. While our dinner was preparing, the ships arrived, and the ensacemcnt commenced. Our house, although a mile from town, hook extremely, and some halls pas sed by. All the Burmans around tis fled.except Maung he be ed us with many tears to flee, also aying, if the Burmans could find us, they would certainly kill us, as well as our husbands, vve well Knew this ras the custom of the Burmans but our distress for those dearer than our lives, rendered danger and safety a-like to us.

After son.c time, however, wc concluded to go a short distance, to the Portuguese Church, where we heard many families were assembled; but when we reached the place, the Catholick priest would not admit a female into it. We, therefore, put on a Burman dress, overour gowns, black- ed our faces, and sat down in an open place with many females, hoping to pass unnoticed but we were informed that the Burmans were iu search of us, and also saw several men near; we, therefore, fled from this place to a house, where we soon beheld, hew can Irelate it, we beheld our husbands led by, with all the prisoners, towards the place of execution. They were almost naked, and chained in such a manneri that they could scarcely walk. My first impulse was to follow, and share the fate of my husband but a moment's reflection convinced me that such a meeting must certainly destroy all fortitude of mind, so necessary on such an occasion and I fell up nthe floor, almost insensible of what 1 suffered. Hough lay near me, as pale as death, and all around me iu great distress.

We were soon aroused from this state, by being turned out of doors. We next sought refuge in a small wood, where several females had retired, when we were again assured that the Burmans were in search of us. The firing from the ships increas-ed, and many large balls fell around can you imagine, my dear aunt, what must have been the feelings of my heart, at that moment I felt that was a lonely widow, and expected every moment to fall into the hands of my husband's murderers. I took my Bible, which was the only thing that took from my house, and am sure precious promises were never so sweet. I was perfectly composed, and how I felt toadmirethe riches of that-grace which could reach-fallen man.

I looked upon death, it was disarmed, of its terrors, and not in that ever memorable and brilliant contest, and the actions which crown- ed the heads of your compatriots and vour ftwn in never fading laurels, and at one secured to you the respectful, but dignified homage of grateful free- and the plaudits ot posterity, would perhaps on this occasion be ir- relevant suffice it to say, that your deeds live in the memories and your virtues in the hearts of freemen, and in none more glowing than those whose mystic ties tend to strengthen the two-fold Cord. Wp have- had many great and vir tuous men who, like yourself, have passed under a hieing Arch, and have viewed with commingled cmo- I tions ot surprise and delight, the splendour of the Cap Stone; but hone, Brother, who have passed through greater vicissitudes than yourselt, nor I have experienced in a greater degree the consolation ot an approving con- seience. ies, Mr, you have gone through many varied scenes, since the Great I AM placed you on the stage of action, and have, no doubt, when in pour most trying moments of adversi ty, relied on, and found, that the Grand High Priest above gave you that support which he extends to all the faith ful. That you may continue to receive the highest tokeps of His favor in this world, and when it shall please him to call you hence, that you may have the Signet of, and gain admittance to, the Grand High Council a-bove, there to listen to the dulcet melody which all worthy Craftsmen will hear, and which will fall with symphony on their ears. "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world," is the ardent prayer of your ever grateful and loving Brethren.

To this address the General replied in substance, that the kindness with which he had been received in the United States, was a of the highest gratification that among the many testimonies of respect which had been shewn him, none could be more grateffil to his feelings than those from his Masonic and he tendered his sincere thanks for the pleasure which this interview had afforded him. PORTRAITS No. II. The portrait of Mr. John Adams is that one, amongst those of all our Presidents, before which we ought the longest to pause.

His patriotism has never been questioned, although the spirit of party has given to political principles an equivocal complexion. They were not dubious in the legislative and judicial conflicts pre liminary to the American Revolution they were not doubtful on the Decla- rat. on of Independence they were as decided in Lurope as in the United States. It was only in the Presiden- cy that his principles were supposed I to have been biased by an inclination I to aristocracy. But if we review I them a sober thoughtfulness, they will be found to bear the test of rigid examination, and to have been I consistent with the interests of the I country and public sentiment at the present day.

John Adams became Chief Magis- trate when the rulers of Revoltitiona- ry France, flushed with success, were arrogant, and when reformers were I.
