      I do myself the pleasure to conio * umoa | my success in ^ this country by way of ackaowledgments of thy friendship ai > d kind synrpatby ; thou wilt see 1 llmye left a land where tbe kindness of my pretended friends

      had united in ; the , operations of the highchurch parties , so far as t £ proscribe ipy ? usefulness , for one where a nation hail $ me with a cordial welcome , where listening senates receive me as an ambassador of

      peace for the good of poor children . , . * f *¦ * * # On my way down the Channel , I had an opportunity of taking a pleasant farewell view of my country . The ship tided it down Channel with but li-itle wind , but that so direct as kept us steady a * ai steamboat ia fair weather ; in consequence , wt ^

      This was pleasant , and I do not know of any roan in existence , unless such as have built on my foundation , that could part from his native country with the same refreshing view of his searcoast towns : tbe sight almost made me forget the chicanery and intrigue , the fair face and

      double tongue , with whicb my Jesuitical enemies had driven me from ; a shore which , but for the impunity g * ranted to their machinations , could never have ceased to be dear to me , at least much more endeared than it is ; for , except the children to whom I have done good , and a few kind

      friends like thyself , what have I ta thank that country for , whose children I have exalted , and whose princes I have first leek forth to honour ? The contrast in . America speaks wonders . Here is a people of the * same language , who , in spite of fan * e with her thousand tongues , ancr systematic in *

      trigue with a thousand lies * , hails me at once as a friend of youth and citizen of th * world , places me in honour , ease and camfbrt , and throws wide open before mealier ample fields , ripe and rich for harvest , and in all which the British and Foreign School Society have had no part . -
