cates, or tiitf more rational aiuufenaents ot
the itage.
I would now observe, that in faying
whet I have, I tlo not aim at difcounte
nancing the employment of Mr. Rickett».
On the contrary, I think he has received
110 more encouragement than his profi
ciency in his occupation deserves. Besides
being a manly exercise, horsemanship is a
profeffion for which I have always had :i
respect; and which, I think, ought to be
cultivated in the United ?tates. I hope,
therefore, Mr. Ricketts, or anv of his
cn-mpcmy, will not conceive that I wilh to
reflect on their occupations ; for if nothing
else, the late i haritable performance would
p : ice th'em out of the reach ol (lander. I
only meant<*remind the religions part o!
the community of the uniformity it would
be proper they should preserve in their
actions.
A FRIEND to CONSISTENCY.

For the National Gazette.
Mr. Freneau,
f S the authority of Burl AM Aou i may
- * be, at leaji, equal to • , Pacificus"wbofe
■writings like hi reports are pregnant with
sophistry and deception, I request you will
give the following extra£ls from thisjuftly
celebrated author, a place in your paper.
" Public treaties are divided into rent
end per/anal—the latter are those made
■with a pr rice, purely in regard to hi per
son, and exp ; rc with him. The former
are fin h. are made rather with the
whoie body ol the (late, than with the
king or government, and which conse
quently outlive t iofe who uiade them and
oblige their successors.''
" To know to which of these twoclnfT »
every treaty belongs, the lollowing rule,
may be laid down:
lit. We mull fir ft attend to the form
a d phrase of the treaty, to its cltules, nnd
tVj views proposed by the contracting par
ties—" Utrum autem in rem. an in pe -
so lam factum eft, non minus ifc erbi ,
quam ex mente convenientium aelMnan
tluin eft," Thus, if there be an exprcf
clause, mentioning that the treaty is per
petual, or fur a ccrtain number f years.
or for the good of the fta'e, or with the
king for htm and his flit cellors," we ma)
conclude that the treaty is real.
idly. Every treaty made with a repub
J'u is in its own nature real, becatife tnt
fabjeft, with whom we contract it, is <
thing permanent.
3d. Though the government fliouk
happen to chaiig-from a republic into £
monarchy, the treaty is ilill in force, be
cause tliebody is still the fame, and has on
ly another chief."
4. "We must however make an excepti
on here, which is, when it appears thai
the prefervatiott of the republican govern
ment w-.s the true cause of the tre.-ty;
ns when two republics enter into an alli
ance, by which they agree to aflift 011 c
another, againll liich as (hall endeavoui
to Iter tlu?ir constitution, and
deprive them of their liberties."
sth. In cafe of doubt, every public treat>
made with a king ought to be deemed real
because, in dubious cales, the king is sup
poled -o a:t ak chief, ai.d for the good ol
the state."
Gih, Hence it follows, that as after the
change of a democracy into a monarch)
the treaty is (till in force, in regard to tilt
new sovereign ; so if the gtvernmcnt.fi on
.1 mo tarchy,becomes a repub.ic, thi. tr&atj
made with the k\"g dues uct expire, unlet:
it was raaiiifeftly personal."
1 ihould be glad to know il the long win
d, d lucubrations of " Pacificus" have 1101
been much aiSfted by the counfelsofT —.11
his frequent and lengthy \ifits to a certaii
country feat near this city ? The honora
t>te employments inwhicliT.hao been enga
ged. together with his -very great intima

probable that he has contributed his (hare

We hear that the fortifications on Muck
Island are repairing, and feviral-cannoii
mounting for tiie det'etice of the river. A
-ompany of militia is already stationed
there, to berelie\ed weekly.
There are now nine American veifels at
»t- Kitts, carried in by Britljh privateers,
nd tlieir cargoes condemned on pretence
jf tlieir being French property, iperely be
taufe they were bound to the French
idands, and no allowance made even lor
rreight. Thus are Americans and their
property treated by this degeneiate racej
who—
"Find it fafer thro' the Teas to go
And rob a stranger, than despoil a loe.'
There are also twelve American veifels
yingat New Providence, who by this time,
t's thought, are condemned on the fame
limfy pretence. Tliefe fellows ha- e the
mpudence to carry 111 every Am.ric n

The American Hag has there, as well as in
jthers -jf tlieir islands, been treated <\itli

By a letter from a gentleman at Buff doe

welearn that tlje commiflioners for trea

:heir purpose. The fix nations appeared

Big Tree were Collecting their people to

were not expected to be collected till about
