RICHMOND. JUNE 22. 1310.
SOUTH AMERICA.
As we have given a brief description of
the geography, productions, resources, gov
ernment, military £c religious institutions of
Caraccas; we may now proceed to thegre.it
question of its emancipation. Can she sue.,
teed in her Revolution i Cun Caraccas be„
conic independent ?
If her exertions were met by A formula.,
ble opposition from abroad—and a large
force should dtbaik upon the coasts, the
chances would evidently be against her.
In the 1st. place, we have seen that, her
own niilicary force is weak and incapable
of much effmt. She has about 13,137" troops;
of which 1740 were troops of the line, dif
fused in all the t< wns of all the provinces.
In the 2nd place, these troop, must be a
raw and undicipliued set, in comparison with
those cf Frftnce. In respect of tactics and
science, the. colonies of Spain must be at least
a century behind France. Her new discove
ries, the fiuits of her gunins and her wars,
are scarcely practised in Europe ; & much
less in Caraccas.
The co:.*,s too arc peculiarly open to in
vasion. Her ports are, from 60 to 100 leagues
distant from each other—and between them
are numberless rivers and beaches suitable
for debarkation.
There are no forts but on the shores, and
these are so far “ from each other, that
whole months are requisite for communica
tion, even in the most favorable seasons.”
Besides, reinforcements could not very
easily be dispatched to the points where | hey
•would be wanting-as those points are
*o distant from each other, and the troops
are so few in nunduu-. Thus, the town of
Maracaibo is hounded by the lake of the
•ame name, by Venezuela, and by drserts 60
leagues wide—and these are between Ma
racaibo and Trtixillo, the nearest city from
■which the former could receive reinforce
ments.
In the nature of her population, there are
serious obstacles to a vigorous exertion — -
Two tenthsof it are whites. 3 lOths slaves,
the descendants of freedinen, are 4 lOths_
'I o give success to their struggles, it is es
sential that there be a complete concurrence
between the Whites and the Frcedmen. To
produce this union of effort, the distlhctL
ons, which now prevail between them, must
be removed—the Frcedmen must be admit
to-1 to an participation of all the military
offices above that of CafiCain-This ex
tinctiyn of prejudice may experience some
little opposition on the part of the Whites.
But when this is effected, the slaves may
perhaps throw new difficulties in their way.
Yet—let these difficulties be removed——
still there are other distinctions amongst the
people. The natives of Spain will not ex.
yerience the same enthusiasm on this sub
ject with tlic creoles of Caraccas.—Those
from the old country, who have formed some
thing like an aristocratic class, will ha
s:ard every opposition which is prudential.
They will not permit their titles and privi
leges to be extinguished, without some effort
ior their preservation.-Besides, from the
monks and the members of the religious or
ders, we should not expect a very sincere at"
tachinent to the new political arrangement.
It is besides necessary, that all local and
other jealousies should be extinguished ; that
there be some form of government to consol
idate their resources ; that the revolution
should embrace a large tract ,of country ;
that the banners of independence may wave
over the inhabitants of the interior as well
os those of the Coast,
These things will impede the success of
Caraccas, if there be.any formidable oppo
sition from without-But from whence will
*'is opposition come? What foreign na
t ion will dispatch a military force to the
>asts ol Carraccas? Is it France? She
professes to adjure all interposition, whate.
•v\ r, with her independence—on certain con
diiions. What says the Expose of 12th De
cember last ?
“ II Spain loses her colonics, she will have do*
wired it hersed. The emperor will never oppose
itlie independence of the continental nations of A
tmerica ; that independence is in the necessary or
•tloro! event*! it is in the justice ; it isintlie inter
itst well understood of all the powers —Whether
rtbe inhabitants of Mexico or Fern those to be
xmited with the mother country, or whether they
chose to rise to a noble independence, France lie
ver will oppose them, provided they never form
any tie with England. France for her prosper!
ty and trade, lias no occasion either to molest
iiei neighbors, or to force upon them, tyrannical
At all events,France will scarcely make any
effort to subdue these colonies, until the war
in Spaiivshall be over, and the mother coun
try is fairly in her hands. When that event
transpires, it is possible that the most strenu
ous exertions will be made to annex them to
Jier dominions-*• Ships. Colonics tfc Com.
merce” are the Emperor’s objects—but so
long as he continues at Avar Avitli England,
her fleets may intercept his designs. In this
t espcct.the colonies are in a much better situ
ation than the mother country. The Pyren
ees are levelled—and the troops of Fi ance
wiarch directly into the heart of the country.
The ocean, however, is between France and
Garraccas—and on that ocean, rides the fleet
of G. Britain.
As for G. Britain ; it is in every point of
view, her interest, that these colonics shall
not fall into the hands of France or Spain_
She is looking out for fresh “ resources to
supply tnose, the channel of which is closer!
against her.” Her eyes then light upon S.
America. In that vast and luxuuantregion,
site will see the materials of many of lifer ma
nufactures, and a mark?t which may even
tually consume many of her manufactures.
It is her interest, therefore, to give a new
spring to the resources of this country, as
well as to snatch it from the hands of France.
It is difficult to say, whether the ambition
ofEnglandmay not attempt to grasp these
colonies for herself. But if she dots so,she will
consult the voire of ambition, rather than of
justice or interest. She ought to declare the
independence of S. America, aid them by
her fleet, but in no other respect interfere,
except at their special request. There are’
many facts illustrative if this opinion_m
support of which, we may cite the following
passages from the Edinburgh Review :
'•Of the memorable expedition to Buenos
Ayres, the history it too well known to re.
quire any recapitulation in this place,
it has certainly shaken, and that violently,
the confidence of the American people in
the, British government. I hey have been
tf’d, from the highest authority, that the
Vi*;\vs of that government were solely toaid
-.ue/o m procuring their independence ; yet
the first army they behold,comes both for con •
quest and for plunder.
“ A proclamation, transmitted by I.ord Mel
ville, then secretary of state, and circulated on
the coasts of Spanish America by the Governor
of Trinidad, in 1797, calling upoii'the inhabitants
to resist the oppressive authority rf the Spanish
Government, assures them, • that measures have
j been taken to support them by mcana ot the Bri
i tisli liaval fm cc, and to Supply them wilharms
and ammunition, merely to enable them Wvmain
tain their commercial independence ; •vithesst
any itesire, on the part of the } ing of England, to
acquire any right of sovereignty over them, or to
ihttrjere ivith their civ:l, poi.tical, irreligious
rights ; unless they themselves should in uny de
gree solicit, his protection.’ Let ua consider the
elFect which this proposal was calculated to
m..!;e upon the minds of the people of South A
meiica, when contrasted with the conduct di
rected 10 pursued in the instructions to the as
sailants of Buenos Ayres. In the Instructions to
General Whitclocke, (see the documents puh
lished in the Appendix to VVhitelocke’s Trial,
n 8.) is the following passage : ‘ With the
force above stated, you will proceed to execute
the service entrusted to you. by the reduction of
the province of Buenos Jvres under the authority oj
hit Majesty.' In the next p:>ge, he is directed
* not to introduce into the government any other
change than that which must necessarily arise
from the substitution of his Majesty's authority for
that of the King of Spain' In the instructions
likewise to Genorul Cranford respecting Chili,
he is commanded to make no other changes • than
that of placing the country under his Majesty’s
protection ami government and told, that ‘ the
form of the former government is to be preserv
ed, subject only m the changes which the .rad
st i tut ion of his Majesty's authority for that of the
Kmg of Spain mayrender inevitable ”
“ The evidence to the same purpo?e of
our own ofTcersupon the business of Buenos
Ayres is clear and unvarying. In a letter
from Sir Samuel Achmuty to \Ir. Windham,
dated Monte Video, march 6lh 1808, lie says :
“ The party now in power are mostly na
tives of Spain, in the principal offices of
church and state, and devoted to the Spanish
government. It has been their policy, to
inflame the minds of the lower order against
the English, by every species of exaggera
tion and falsehood, and to lead them to such
acts of atrocity as may preclude the possi
bility of any communication with us. The
second party consists of nativks of the
country, with some Spaniards, that are
SETTLED in it. The OPPRESSION OF THE
MOTHER COUNTRY, HAS MADE THEM
MOST ANXIOUS TO SHAKE OFF THE SPAN
ISH .yoke. They aim at following
the steps of the North Americans.
and erecting an independent state. If we
would promise them independence, they
WOULD INSTANTLY REVOLT AGAINST
the government, AND JOIN US WITH
THE GREAT MASS OF T11F. INHABITANTS.
| But though nothing less than independence
will perfectly satisfy them, they would pre
fer our government, either to their
PRESENT a n a !{c h y, or to the Spanish yoke,
I provided we would promise not to give up
the country to Spain at a peace. But un
til SUCH A PROMISE IS MADE, WE MUST
EXPECT TO FIND THEM OP E N OR S EC R KT
enemies.* Even in a copy of the instruc
tions of government to General Crawford, it
is said. ‘The ruling consideration which
long restrained his Majesty from invading
any part of the enemy’s territory in South
America, was the danger of erecting in that
country, from the well.known impa
tience OF THE GOVERNMENT FELT »Y
the inhabitants, a spirit of insurrec
tion leading to the most sanguinary exces
ses.’
From all these things, it seems extremely
probable, if France or Spain should succeed
in landing a considerable force on the Coast,
that Caraccas will not succeed in her views.
-but that if France should comply with
her promises, or G. Britain play her cards
properly ; which will be at once the game
of interest and of virtue ; that Caraccas
will take her stand among the powers of
the Earth.
We wish her every success, which her
cause deserves. We wish it on her ac
count—and we wish it on our own. It is
our interest that no European nation should
ever more obtain a foothold on this Conti
nent ! — France and G. Britain would be much
moie dangerous neighbors, to ourselves, than
the colonies of Spain, in an independent
state.-But while on this head, it is im
possible to suppress a hope, that the naviga
tion of the Mobile may soon be open to our
citizens, and the Floridas may be our own.
As totke Spanish Islands, we have no sort
of doubt that theiruquisition will become one
cf the objects of British ambition-as well
to add to the extent of her possessions, :.s to
prevent tier present islands from catching
the flame of independence. For Cuba and
Porto K:co might set a contagious example
to the inhabitants of Jamaica and Antigua.
But if the people of Carraccas should suc
ceed in bcrngindc/ierident, will they become
[free? This is another question. Will
they form anew Re/iubiic, among the nati.
ons of the earth ? Much as we would desire
this .event, there is nothing to countenance
such an expectation.
Before this state of things can be accom
plished, there must be u Hktolutioh of
Ideas among them. The people are unfit
to bf. frkr, I hey are unused to tne
forms nr the substance of freedom. How
different is Ihcir .situation from that of their
North American brethren ! Previous to our
revolution, we were at least acquainted with
some of the rights ot man—we were famili
arised with the representative system—wr
had had a house ot lhtrgesses to precede the
House of Delegates-and whenever the
Executive from the mother country was
knocked off, a new one was immediately se
lected according to the forms of the Repair .
| lie-the people had been accustomed to
the election of their legislators-and they
were not “their own worst enemies.”——
Therefore every thing went on smoothly and
happily. A'.l the elements of freedom were
already amongus-and it was only neces.
sarv to combine them into such a form, as
was best accommodated to our independence*
1 he Spanish colonists, on the contrary,
have been used to be governed; and not to go
vern t/iemar/vea. It is not only their exe
cutive, but their laws, which have been de
pendant upon the will of the crown Thpy
are unacquainted with the machinery of
representation. In addition to this, theit
general habits are inauspicious to the
maintenance of their liberties. Their edu
cation has been neglected ; the press pro
scribed ; enquiry lias been discouraged ;
the cause ot truth h is been am -.ted by the
thunders of the church ; and the state and
the church, the nmnk3 anti ministers, have
conspired to preserve them in a state of in
dolence, of ignorance and superstition.
Their present form of government is only
a provisional one—until tncy can agree up
on some permanent system. It is evident
ly muddled on the revolutionary Junta ol
Spain
1 Miranda, who srcrm to have known his
countrymen well, has pronounced them un_
fit for a state of freedom. He has sketched
tor thdm the following t »rm of government
in one of his letters to Mr. Adams:
** Vtc :ha!l undoubtedly profit by your learned
lessons ; and I rejoice to inini'm yon, beforehand,
that the form of government projected, is mixed ;
with an hereditary chief of the executive power,
under the name of Ynca ; and what I like still
better, taken in the same family ; a senate roro
j>oa« d of noble families, but. not liered't try ; 8t an
house of commons, elected among all the other
citizens, who shall possess a competent property.
Such is the sketch ot the form of government,
which appears to unite the majority ««f sufi' ag *s
in the Spanish American continent, nn>l which
will no doubt prevent the fatal consequences of
the French republican system, w hich Montes*
quieu calls extreme liberty.”
*Ltj It is important to haxr a Census of our
t Manufactures, at vru’ as of s— Therefore,
to indue* the heads of families to think of their esti
mates, hy the tittle that the Agents go around Jot
them, tec lay before them the following :
(CIRCULAR)
Thea/ukV Dep*rtm*J»t,
May 17, 1810.
SIR, • . -
In conformity with the second section of the
act further to al'er and amend " An act providing
for the third census, or enumeration of the inha
bitants of the United States,” I have to request
that you 'vill direct your assistants to take an ac
count of the several manufacturing establishments
and manufactures within their several divisions.
No particular form can be prescribed, and to
fhe request that eucl! assistant should (five in his
own way the best account, which, as he proceeds
to take the census, Le may be able to collect : I
can add but veiy general instructions.
I. It is presumed, that the. number of each spe
cies of manufacturing establishments may be as
certained with precision anil without difficulty.
Those to which, without excluding others, I
would more narticulai ly call the attention of the
«3>isiaius, are,
Tanneries,
Glass works.
Distilleries,
Fulling iViHs,
Breweries,
Carding machines going1
Sugar refineries,
by water,
Paper mills,
Hemp and Hax spinning
Oil mills,
mills,
Snuff mills,
Cotton S; wool spinning
Chocolate mills,
mills,
Gun-powder mills,
Rope works.
Iron Moris,
distinguishing.
Fumacss,
Rolling fc sliTling mills,
Air Furnaces,
Cut nails factories,
Forges,
Trip hammers,
Bloomeries,
Steel furnaces.
[ Thefollou+g articles of Manufactures, are added
by the Marshal :
Cannon,
Shoes and Bools,
Muskets,
Harness,
Rifles,
Saddles and Bridles,
Pistols,
Carriages,
Swords,
Candles,
Locks,
Ilats,
Hinges,
Stockings,
Wrought nails,
Salt,
Stills,
Sall-Petre,
Cabinet Work,
Flour,
Tin,
Tobacco,
Lead,
Matresses,
Shot,
Curled hair,
Watches, ✓
Soap,3
Clocks.
2. An estimate must he made by each ass’13- |
tant fiom such data as lie can obtain, ot’the 1
quantity and value of the manufactured articles !
made annual!}’ in those several species of man
ufacturing establishments : that is to say, of the 1
quantity and value of the leather, spirits, iron,
paper, See. made annually in his division.
3 It is also requested, that each assistant
should make a rough estimate, flom the best in
formation that he can collect, of the quantitvor
number of yards, and of the value of woolen,
cotton, flax and hemp cloth, ^ including mixtures
of either,) annually made in his district. As
this will embrace and chiefly consist of the house
hold manufactures, precision cannot be expec
ted. Yet the number of looms may, perhaps, be
ascertained with tolerable accuracy. And when
the questions prescribed by the Secretary of
State's instructions are asked from the heads of
families, some may be added on this-subject, !
such as—Do you employ any looms ? IIow ma- ,
ny yards of woolen cloth, cotton goods, linen,
&c - are annually manufactured ih your family ! >
It is true that no obligation is imposed to answer i
suclr queries. But it is presumed that by ex
plaining the object, answers may he obtained |
from a sufficient number of persons to enable:
the assistants to form a general estimate. And
they must, in making their return, state general
ly on what grounds that estimate is made. It is
also desirable, that they should report how far
jenmv-s and other labor saving machines are in
troduced in private families.
, 4 In relation to any particular important
branch carried on in your district, and which I
have omitted to mention, or on which interesting
details can he casdy obtained, you will be pleas,
ed to supply the defect by giving particular in
structions to the assistant or assistants in whose
divisions such manufactures exist, or by trying to
obtain yourself the information. Thus the num
ber of spindles in (he spinning mills should he
ascertained, and as it relates to the cities and
compact towns in your district, much valuable
information may probably be obtained by intelli
gent assistants, respecting the numerous articles
usually manufactured m such places.
1 be law provides, that compensation shall
hereafter he m ule f ir those additional services ;
audit is presumable that tliio will, in some de
gree, he hi proportion to the labor which shall
appear to have been l>e*»owed on them.
*0 produce uniformity in the mode of render
ing the accounts of compensation for taking the
census or enumeration of inhabitants, I/mve
thought it not improper to add the following in
structions upon that point:
I. Mo payments will he made irt advanre from
dr* treasury, forjthls object. It will only he on the
rendering of the accounts by the marshals or se
r.retarics, that the payments will he made at the
treasury ; and the payment will be made for the
whole amount of compensations in each district
or territory to the marshal or secretary respec
tively. The assistants are to be apprized, that
it is to the marshal or secretary alone to whom
they are to apply for their Compensations.
2 Ao soon as the marshal or secretary has re
ceived tiic returns of all his assistants, he is to
tn..Ice out an abstract of their compensation in
the form annexed, adding at foot the amount of
his own compensation as fixed by the act of March
25, 1810; ,
3. If any of the Assistants are allowed more
than at the rate of one dollar for every hundred
persons enumerated, there must be annexed to
the abstract, the certificate of the district or ter
ritorial judge u|>proving such additional allow
ance.
A ■ The abstract of compensations is to be
transmuted to tlic comptroller «>Vthe treasury,
at the same time that the returns of the census
are sent to the secretary ofstat :

' French Influence.—Where is it? Don

Was it French Influence', which extended
the same rcsti ictions to the vessels o: goods
ot both the belligerents i
Was it French Influence, which excluded
ihe national ships ot France from on” ports
& harbors ; thus meting cut the same degree
ot punishment to the Fiencii ships which
had done us little nr no v. rrmg.as to tan.se oi (■.
Britain, whicli had murdered our citizens,
assaulted one of our trigates, ft trenched cu
the sovereignty of our country ?
W as it French Influence, whi-h led
us to treat'alike, the first and the last ag
gressor ; the nation that . as al wavs done us
the most injuries; and the one that has but
followed in her steps with inferior calami
ty?
Is it from a disposition to extend this in
fluence, that the 1 rench Emperor seizes our
property and rouses our hearts against him ?
Are these the means, by which he hopes to
retain us as his allies, (if we were really
such, as the Federalists have insimiatud t)
or is this the way, by which he trusts to en
tangle us in his toils r ,
When these acts were done, was it French
Influence, which tipped the pen of «.ur min
ister with fire ?-Had he really been tiiat
subservient tool of the Imperial Court
which he has been tepreseiued—had l.e
refused his protection to our imprisoned
countrymen, and their s< tjnestei ed ships_
had he prostrated our rights at the foot of
the imperial throne, as the Federal pres
ses have dated to insinuate ; would Gen.
Armstrong have remonstrated against the
wrongs ot France with such force of argu„
men’, and keenness of irony, as must even |
touch the feelings of the imperial court? I
W oultl he have employed a style of remon-j
strance, which has never been equalled by
any ot trie hni’o^ean ministers at the court
of France, nor surpassed by cr.y of our Min
isters at the courts of Europe?-Is Mr.
Finkney his superior ? “ Hyperion to a Sa
tyr !”
And now that we know of these wrongs in
this country, where is the French Influence
discernible in the toneoi our public prints, or
of the public mind? Where are the defenders !
ot French confiscation ?—There is not one j
atrocity of tne British government, wiiich
has not been palliated or defended. There
is not one stretch of British power, which
fails not within the limits of Federal Charity.
—C. Britain lias done us no “ essential in
jury,” says Mr. Pickering.—The attack on
tiie Chesapeake was justified-the impres •
ment of our seamen is justified-the in
sults of J ickson were too dim to be seen
& when tiie arrangement was made with
Erskine, why, these were the very terms
which G. B had so uniformly offered us—and
when it was rejected, why this was the very
tiling which we should have expected.
And vet there is no British Influence in !
tliis ! But there is a French Influence in our j
Councils*-Such is the logic of the Fede~ •
