fehich did not content them, but which if
used with wisdom, might have rendered
them the pride, as they have been the re
proach of civilization.
New events must inevitably aiise out ot
the scenes of which the woi Id has been spec
tutors and sufferers for near 20 years A I
structure has been created out of the frag I
ments of Europe, which surpasses in magtn
tude and strength any which has preceded
it ; in all that constitutes greatness, intel
lectual energy, and the direction and control
of the human mind, it is unrivalled. This
power now wields Europe a., a province ;
and a system commensurate to the ru e has
been barely named, not unfolded.
The present state of Europe is governed
by causes, which men do not allow them
selves to lot k at. The avidity of gain, and
the lotig absence of national afflictions, and
the growth of luxury, operate to render the
avai icinus and the virtuous, alike insensible
to the true nature of our own situation, and
indifferent to the consequences.

The commercial spirit, which was m the
days of Roman virtue held in contempt, is
now the predominant passion of civilized na
tions ; religion was the mask ot ambiti n
for several centuries ; when this mask was
torn off. the balance of power became the
talisman of destruction ; but commerce, ev
er since the 12;h century, has been gradu_
ally encroaching upon nations, with the
facilities which it produced for encieasing
power.
In the beginning of the 14 h century, the
city of Louvain, in the Netherlands, contain
ed four thousand master woollen diapers,
clothiers and weavers, and more than one
hundred and fitly thousand workmen. It
was about the same period that g >ld came
to be used as a coin in Europe ; and the com
merer carried on at tha period was princi
pally by Venetian shipping. VVe may judge
of the revolution which has taken place in
the affairs of commerce, from tacts-Ed
ward II of England, in order to inuct fo
rei-;n nations to trade with that country,
gave particular privileges to the ships and
merchants of Fi ance Germany, Spam, For
tugal, Navarre. I. <m hardy, Catalonia Pro
vence, Aquitaine, Toulouse, Flanders and
Brabant.
In 1675. the 15th Charles II tlicit is after
r.00 years, the English policy was reversed,
and an act of parliament was passed in
which we have the principles there declared
which have governed England ever since ;
the preamble of the 15 Chas. II. c. 15. de
Clares that
“ U is necessary to make tills kingdom of En
gland a staple not only of die commodities of
those plantations, but also of the commodities of
other countries and places for the supplying Qf
tin to.”
We sec that it requir* d 300 years to un
fold this policy, which hashed encre.tsing up
to its present height for the 135 years which
have since elapsed.
Edward 111. had perceived that the opu
lence of the Netherlands was greatly to be
attributed to the woollen manufactures carri
ed on there. He caused numbers of the man -
ufacturers to be seduced to England, one of
them, a celebrated wollen manufacturer
named John Kemfit had a patent authorising
him to teach the manufacturing of wool ;
and seventy families were invited to Engl
land, and all their expences paid the same
year.
It is by comparison we judge of every
thing if we have common sense, we judge
of the present by the past, and by both
of the future ; let us compare the policy
which now prevails in England, that their
laws inflict the heaviest penalties on art
ists and manufacturers who attempt to eiir
igtate, and even on those who may be
instrumental in aiding or advising their re„
inoval.
What can be the nntivc of such contra
dictory conduct as inviting tiiunf icturers by
premiums in the reign of Edward 111. and
inflicting penalties for their removal under
George lit i The cause is very onvious ;
tiny saw that the Flemish anti Brabanters
were wealthy, and they wished to be so.
They piocured the workmen of Fianders
ai-d succeeded ; tney gained great wealth,
undtheydonot wish any nation to obtain
workmen, lest other nations shotild become
wealthy and their rivals in the same mauu
fa tuies!
Nothing is so greedy as poverty-and
poverty ot mind is the most greedy of all
'.This is the spirit of monopoly, which will
enrich itself at the expence or the ruin of all
other things. What must we think of the
understanding of men entrusted with the
concerns of tnis young nation, this nation
which fears no rivalships, and possesses
within itself all that is necessary to human'
society in every stage; where was the facul
ty that could expect England, who will not
Buffer a weaver of woollen or cotten to em.
bat k for America, undtra penalty of several
years imprisonment, who could expect En
gland would deal with the U. b. on terms of
reciprocity ?
It is true there were John Randolphs and
Albert Gallatinsin England in the reign of
Edward III as well as in America at the
present time ; me n who were more desirous
of seeing themselves the lords of forests,
which shutout the sun, and of millions of a,
cre» which could lay by for the accumulati
on of avarice, or the enrichment of a poster
ity, that is unbegotten, or the first fruits
thrown upon the suffrage of the world ; there
■were even such men as J\rut. Macon, whose 1
vanity subverted their virtues, and who!
•wt re made by imaginary stoicism, the
dupes and the instruments of men, whose
views were repugnant to every idea ofsoci !
al virtue. There were men in those days |
who did not delight in noddy, who were at
•war with the species, cither because nature
had played the step mother to them, or tin y j
fell that they could not acquire regaid nor!
respect but among slaves—men who never!
wished any two neighboring houses s<» near'
as that the one should lieai the other’s di e
bai k. 6j
Men like these were found in the 14 h cen- !
tiny in England ; men whose faculties were
contracted by the barbarism of the age, and
■who Could find in that Cause an excuse J
which oui modern barbarian* cannot resort'I
to ; but even then they did not find a place
in the parliaments of those times; since in |
1.135 a law was passed to protect atrungern ,
in buying nr well a*tn at lung, and making ,
ml kind a oj warm do’ha, and particularly |
to protect weaver*. 1 he people (,4 <j,a,
country, near 5Ot) years ago, had abetter i
se-sc < f the interests of their country, than I
eu» most renowned financiers and congress- .
n on of the pre-tnt day ; fur a law was pa- ,
tu i n 13 7, ottl ining that nopeYaon «x <
t'tpi ihe king, queen, and iheu cUiiJi'tn, (
should wear any cloth thatevas not made in
England.
A proposition 10 enter into a voluntary en
gagement of this kind was proposed in the
truth congress—but what could be i xpeced
bon* such h.body—it was not indeed manful
ly opposed, neither was it Very generally nor
manfully supported*
In our days we see a’! the efforts and la
bora of nur statesmen direr ted, not to pro
mote internal prosperity, hut to rivet upon
us, foreign de/nndancc. We nave a great
quantity ol resolutions, and we have vAu
minoits reports; the resolutions constantly j
belied in practice, and tiie reports either
falsifying >he re I state of things or coming
too late to be u*ch I.
Wc have tia<( toads and canals, and on..
couragemrnt to domestic manufactures
ufton /lafier, in abu d’oice ; but every am
j fice of underhand trick and cunning has
! been employed to prevent the applira .,m of
a dollar to institutions of the utmost utility,
I even of the utmost necessity, measures that
would be actually the greatest economy. In
I regard to our manufactures, see vvha igno*.
! tance or corruption iff-cted in the three c-r
four last sessions. It was proposed to lay a
duty of 50 per cent * n fn eign manufactures,
such as we can provide at home, this law
p lssed a' fit st through congress, without
much d Hiculty ; while here was no under,
hand influence it promised to become a law ;
can we beat a less to discover how it failed?
if anv one is s < dull of disc rument, let him
read Mr. Erskine’scorrespondence, and he
‘t ill Uvrn that Mr. Galtain is ofifiox-d to

j States, but he could 'ook with a complacency
on the system maintained by the British
government, and the ribute which we par/
annually to her under the different forms
both of import and exfwrt duties.
How came it that such strange opposition
was made to the institution of a committee
on manutactures in Congress ; it is to be
trared to the same secret influence. The
influence of foreign commerce we can see
i in the burnings of our manufactories, in
i the refusal ol British insurance offices to in„
sure our manufactories; we can perceive it
i in the incessant efforts made to repress and

it in the bank of the United Sta’es, compo_

1 Congress could not see, that in order to

Extract of a letter to the Editor nt the Auro- '
ra, uuud Paris, May 10.
** I send you by —• — some papers,
anti a few copies of memoirs, presented by
the consul and agent for prize causes, of the ;
U. States in defence of American ships and
cargoes; 1 also send you a list o* all the A_
mencau vessels seized, up to the first ot the
preceding month, which will give you some
idea of our commercial situation and the
wisdom of taking off the etnb ug > and other
things.
•* Our vessels at present are almost eve
ry wacre within the influence ot France
confiscated, and no one here doubts but it
wid bfc the case every where else in Europe
before many months pass over. It is said
here that both general Turreau and Mr.
Bean jour are recalled, and that no succes
sors will be sent. This course is invetera.ely
hostile, and must txcue no pleasant feel
ings in those who have, either through iniir
mi y of head or heart, produced such an is
sue at such anepocji File affairs of Spain
do not now excite much concern—that cmin.
tiy is considered as conquered, and the
camps and armies as cam s of exercise ; it
is not supposed the emperor will goto Sp in,
but two large camps are spoken if, one be
tween Morlaix and P mtrieux in the depart
ment of the North Coast, and the other at
the old site in the Pais de Calais, contiguous
to Boulogne.
“ Tht Emperor on his tour has visited all
the principal places of manulacture in B a
bant and Flanders; and has been on 'lie
canal of St. Q lintin ; he passed under the
famous subterraneous ex : tv.i ions of Hus
canal by torch light in a Purge with the em
press, the Queen of N tples and the grand
duke of Wuttzburg; tue first admirable
work is completely arched, -.nd in length
550 toises ; and the second 0 toises ——
The object of all these move neats is popu
larity ; a canal which saves three fourths of
the expence of transport, and which is a
mean of opening a complete water carriage
from the North Sea to the middle of France,
on the South from Rouen to Paris, on the
north from Anvers to Paris, and from Paris
to Marseilles, is not a very unpopular mea
sure; the saving on the transport ot produc
tions alone is estimated at seven or eight
| millions of francs per annum.’*
In oar own states, great attention is con
tinually paid to our internal improvements,
and very able commissioners of New York
state are now actually engaged in exploring
the best direction for a Canal wuicn migiu
open a communication between the Hodsou
and Lake Ontario, and from that with al
North America. Tne object is one ot the
boldest to be imagined, and the success can
hardly be offered upon more easy terms.—
Our settlements of g-eat extent are upon
the waters which might easily communicate
with New York City. The neighbouring
states are in competition for their respec_
tivc shares of the western commerce. In
Pennsylvania a turnpike is making from
Reading to Sunbury, and only the space
from J’erkinming to Reading, remains to
make a turnpike from Philadelphia to Sun.,
bury-on the Susquehanna, a distance of one
hundred miles in the shorter route to Lake
Erie, intersecting the Susquehunnah below
the confluence of the East and West branch
es, and probably the m .si practicable route
to Pittsburg. The experiments already
made art adducedas proofs that the labors
will he rewarded, as a toll bridge on the
M-tnatawny, upon an average <«f three years
has actually given more than six per cent,
upon the average cost 0f any five miles of the
