they will dit'cover a new world in natuie,
concealed from others as a fine country is
from travellers in the nigh', and as the light,
a*d the appearance of natnie is from the
blind; this will be a new Iccne of enjoyment
and delight, as that of leelng is to one born
blind, and will teach them to acquire the pro
per ul'e of their faculties, as a child does that
of I lis ji.-llbs by learning to walk:—this will
eleva'e them to a Philosophical region of fub

much superior to the pieafures and amuse.

By the President of the United States of
WHEREAS by information given
upon oath, it appeal's that in the
night time of the twenty second day of
November, a number of armed men hav
ing their faces blackened and being other
wile disguised, violently broke open and
entered the dwelling house of Benjamin
Wells colleftorof the revenue arifingfrom
spirits distilled within the United States,
in and for the counties of Weftmoreland
and Fayette in the dirt rift of Pennsylva
nia, and by allaulting the said colle&or
and putting him in fear and danger of his
life, in his dwelling house aforefa:d, in the
said county of Fayette did compel him to
deliver up to them his commiiiiun for col
lecting the said revenue, together with
the books kept by him in the execution
of his said duty, and did threaten to do
further violence to the said colle&or, if he
did not (hortly thereafter publicly renounce
the further execution of his said office :
And whereas several of the perpetra
tors of the laid offence are still unknown,
and the fafety and good order of society
require that such daring offenders should
be discovered and brought to justice so
that infractions of the law may be prevent
ed, obedience to them secured, and officers
proteited in the due execution of the trulls
reposed in them, therefore I have thought
proper to offer and hereby do offer a re
ward of TWO HUNDRED DOL
LARS for each of the said offenders that
lhall be discovered and brought to justice
for the said offence, to be paid to the per
son or persons who (hall firft discover and
give information of the said offenders to
any judge, justice of the peace, or other
magistrate.
And I do hereby ftri&ly charge and
enjoin all officers and minilters of justice
according as their refpeftive duties may
require, to life their best endeavors to
cause the said offenders to be discovered
apprehended and secured, so that they
may be speedily brought to trial for the
offence aforefaid.
In Testimony whereof I have
/ . \caufed the seal of the United
J States of America to be affixed
to these presents, and signed the
fame with my hand. Done at
the city of Philadelphia the 24th
day of February one thousand
seven hundred and ninety four,
and of the Independence of the
United States of America, the
eighteenth.
In no country that Mr. Murray recol
le&ed, did the history of the carrying
trade show us a people overflowing with
raw materials and natural wealth, inhabit
ing a new, extenlive, fertile foil, who be
came great carriers.
If we examine the causes that made Ve
nice and Genoa and other free states of
Italy, the carriers for the Weft of Europe,
through the Straits of Gibraltar, to all
the states that were rich enough to pur
chase, or refined enough to enjoy the lux
uries of Alia and the Mediterranean, we
find them, small; with no extent of ferti
lity or foil ; and with a population over
flowing, and difproportioned to the land
labor or its produce. The Hanfe-Towns,
the Dutch and the Englilh, with a few
fliades of difference, were similarly situa
ted when they became the successors to
these republics in the carrying tnide.

( Concluded.)
America,

Edm : Randolph.
Had all of them abounded in those bulky
raw materials which arise from a foil like
ours ; with spare population, with a great
disparity between labor and its objects,
they never would have been the great car
rying nations they were. We (hould have
seen something like that equipoise of em
ployment which the genius of our own
country leads to ; and agriculture at lead
disputing the pre-eminence with navigati
on, which in our country, is but her hand
maid.
We have, indeed seen similar habits and
systems. The insular position of Great-
Britain, her neighborhood and hostile ri
vallhip with the Dutch, who preceded her
in arts and in navigation, pointed out the
navigation ast to the Parliament, in 16 J I,
as an inllrument of resentment—and it
seemed naturally to arise from her national
qualities.
But it is observable and important in
considering the cause which rendered that
ast advifeable, that notwithstanding her
insular situation, and her fulnefs of inha
bitants, there was wanting for half a cen
tury, that co-operation of causes, which
occurred to give it all the efficacy it has
been attended with since.
The proportion of Britilh and foreign
shipping was but little in favor of England,
till eleven years after the peace of Rvf
wick, at which period, in 1697, the Bri
tish tonnage was 144,000, and the fo
reign tonnage an 100,000. The causes
that then began forcibly to operate in fa
vor of the British, eleven years after, when
the Britilh. tonnage was 240,000, and fo
reign but 45,000, were as irrefiitible as
to that effect, as they are remote, and for
tunately so, from this country. A union
with Scotland had taken place, and in
creased her exports ; the manufactures of
the country had received great compara
tive improvements; the American filhe
ries began to improve ; —Jamaica, which
is immensely important to her, and a
kingdom in itfelf, became a considerable
object ; but above all, these independent
states, who were then very growing colo
nies, became felt in the scale of national
interest, and poured their bulky materials
into her lap. Without a colonial system,
she would not have felt the benefit of her
navigation act.
With a colonial system, flie, and other
countries pofleffed of colonics, have in
ducements and employment for a dispro
portion of navigation that this country is
without, and needs not in her present
progressive state of all things. And yet
the gentleman's system looks to a naviga
tion ast, at a time, when all is convulsion
without—and where none, or very few of
the causes that have led to such a scheme
in other countries, are visible in our in
ternal affairs. For if we look into our
local situation, we find a mod extensive
and fertile country sparingly inhabited,
and abounding in natural wealth. If we
look at the Englilh, we find contracted
territory, redundancy of population, few
or no raw materials, and scarcity of the
necessaries of life, with large capitals, and
the greatest exertion of ingenuity in ma
nufactures.
Importation of manufa&u l es has been
our praflice, and seems, under the pre
sent degree protc&ion given to those
which are adapted to our immediate at
tempts to be our interelt. We import no
raw matei ials scarcely, nor grain nor ne
ceflaries. They on the contrary, import
almoil eveiy thing, and manufadlure eve
ry thing. In (hort, our situation is com
pletely a contrail to theirs, and it is a con
trail infinitely to our credit and comfort.
It had led his mind to a full conviction,
that all our powers would gradually ame
liorate together, and if left, as they have
hitherto been, more to the exertions of
an enterprizing spirit and feeedom, than
rigidly directed by speculation and theory
they would in the fulnefs and feafonable
nefs of time, accomplilh the extent and
grandeur of design which nature seems i»
