THE FRIEND TO PEACE.—No. VI.
THE antipathy of our rulers to the French revolution, and their determined resolution to force us into a war with that nation! as well as their strong attachment to the British government, and their desire of forming a close connection with that government; can be proved unquestionably, by their submitting without complaint, to the many injuries done to our citizens by the orders of the British government since the ratification of the British treaty; and by many facts which have not yet been stated, in any of my preceding numbers.
It is universally known, that the British have, contrary to that treaty, captured a great number of our vessels. The president himself admits it to be the case, in an answer which he gave to an address from the inhabitants of Portsmouth in Virginia.
But yet, although it was his duty to lay a state of such matters before congress; and although similar depredations, when committed by the French on our commerce, have been the constant theme of his communications to that body; yet has he never once mentioned to them, the subject of British spoliations. The house of representatives appear to have been actuated by the same principles; for after having taken every step in their power, to plunge this country into a war with France, in consequence of the depredations committed by her on our commerce; they by a majority of 47 against 38 votes, rejected the following resolution which was proposed to them: "Resolved that the president of the United States be requested to cause to be laid before this house, such information as he possesses, respecting the conduct which has been observed by the British government, or by persons acting or pretending to act by or under the authority thereof, towards the neutral rights and commerce of the United States; since the ratification of the subsisting treaty of amity, commerce and navigation"; and the debate in the senate, on the bill "to declare the treaty with France void and of no effect" which was published in the last Kentucky Gazette, puts beyond all doubt, what are their real sentiments on this subject. If there were no secret causes for the conduct of our rulers towards France, how can their conduct towards Britain be accounted for; were not the spoliations committed by her orders on our commerce, as injurious to our citizens, as contrary to the treaty, and as inconsistent with the rights of America as an independent nation; as actions of the same kind were, when committed by the orders of the French government? And if the improper conduct of the French in this respect, was a sufficient cause to justify the entering into a war with that nation; why was a similar conduct on the part of Britain, considered by the President and congress, as an improper subject, even for an enquiry.
I have stated in a former number, that the publishing the communications from our late envoys, after the former President had on another occasion, refused to give congress similar information; was a trick practised by the government party, and that it was probably done at the special instance of the present president: his subsequent communications, have put this beyond all doubt. On the 2d. of April the house of representatives called upon the president for his instructions to, and the communications from, our envoys, and he laid them before congress on the 3d. of that month. A letter from the secretary of State to our envoys, containing further instructions, and bearing date
the 23d. of March 1798, has this clause in it; "It is proper to apprize you that a motion has been made in the senate, and will doubtless be repeated in the house of representatives, to desire the president to lay before them your communications; and he will probably be under the necessity of doing it; only with-holding the two names which you promised should in no event be made public." none of the public prints which have reached this country, make any mention of such a motion's having been made in the senate; and the president's message declares, that he lays the papers before congress "in consequence of the request of the house of representatives" and yet, eleven days before this request was made, he knows that it is to be made, and has determined on the answer he is to give; although the letter from the secretary of the state strongly carries with it the idea, that nothing but compulsion could induce him to comply with the request. Whence that compulsion could have been apprehended. I cannot conceive, when the president in the case of the British treaty, had refused to comply with such a request, as being unconstitutional; and the house of representatives, had acquiesced in that refusal. The conformity of this communication when made, at the end of eleven days, after the date of the secretary's letter, to that letter; proves that the whole business had been planned and settled in the cabinet, long before the motion was made in the house of representatives. It contains this clause; "I transmit to both houses the instructions and dispatches from the envoys extraordinary from the United States to the French republic, which were mentioned in my message of the 19th of March last, omitting only some names, and a few expressions discriptive only of the persons." It is remarkable also, that although the communication was made by the president on the 3d. of April, and the instructions which he has now published, were dated on the 23d. of March, that he did not lay those instructions before congress. It is true, they were not specially called for, by that body, because they did not know that they had been given; but the president who had then actually given those instructions, if he had intended to have given congress full information on the subject, would have laid them before that body, with the other papers then sent by him: but as these instructions did not breathe the most pacific disposition, and as they were evidently intended by him, to put an end to the negotiation; it would not have been as safe to lay them before congress, at that time, when he wanted to induce them to come into his war measures; as he has supposed it to be, since they have actually adopted those measures.
In the last communication made by the president to congress, after having told them, that he expected the negotiation with the French government was before that time, at an end, he adds, "I will never send another minister to France, without assurances, that he will be received, respected and honored, as the representative of a great, free, powerful and independent nation." And in his answer given to an address from the inhabitants of Washington county, in the state of Maryland, he says, "I shall meet with sincerity, any honorable overtures of that nation, but I shall make no more overtures"—Perpetual war must be the consequence of this resolution; for if this negotiation is at an end, and he will never send another minister until France shall do, what from her present situation, we have very little reason to expect she will do,
there is no prospect of an accommodation taking place. The language used by him in this message, discovers a degree of passion and resentment, unbecoming the chief magistrate of a nation; and when addressed to congress, who, by the constitution, have the sole power of making peace and war; discovers an intention on his part, to frustrate, as far as was in his power, all attempts to prevent a war. No absolute monarch on earth, could have used, more positive and imperious language, when declaring his intentions to his subjects; than the president has done on this occasion, to the legislature of the United States, to whom the constitution entrusts exclusively, the power of making peace and war. If he discovers such dispositions now, what may we not expect from him, after congress have delegated a few more unconstitutional powers to him.
The president's answers to many of the addresses presented to him, approving of his conduct, prove his ardor and inclination for war; and in the answers given by him to addresses against a war, he has evidently discovered his disapprobation of, and his displeasure at, the sentiments they contained. In one of these answers, he says, "If it would answer any good purpose, I would deprecate with you, the horrors of war, with the most anxious solicitude; but, when the FINGER OF HEAVEN points out war as our only resource, it becomes unmanly to deplore, and unchristian to repine." Vain and impious man; are you so puffed up with vanity, and the adulation which has been paid you, as to assume to yourself, part of the attributes of the Deity? Is it unmanly to deplore, the misery and wretchedness which are about to overspread our once happy land; and the loss of our inestimable liberties? Is it unchristian to repine at a war brought upon us by your folly, or wickedness? Before you can persuade us that "the finger of Heaven points out war as our only resource," you must convince us that you have seen the fingers of the hand writing on the wall, and that you and your false men, have been able to read and interpret truly, what is there written; otherwise, we shall fear, that your understandings have been blinded, or your hearts hardened, so as not to understand, or obey, what was sent from Heaven to warn you of the miseries and calamities, which your measures are about to bring on your unhappy country.
War, with all its attendant evils, is not the worst which the measures pursued by our rulers, gives us just cause to apprehend. Even their wickedness or folly, could not have induced them to enter into such a measure, unless they had considered the doing of it, as one of the necessary means to obtain their real and favorite object—the destruction of our liberties, and the republican principles in our government. They knew well and experience has already proved to us, that in times of real or pretended danger, the people would always be willing to give up for a time, those checks which the constitution provides against the abuse of power; and they trusted, that the powers which they should receive during the alarm would enable them to retain them forever afterwards. The giving of unnecessary powers, is the act of a moment; but the recalling of them, can seldom be effected but by great danger, expence and loss of blood. The event has more than justified their expectations; the eagerness with which a great part of the people, and a majority of their representatives, have come into their measures; and the facility with
which they have surrendered into their hands, their dearest rights; must have exceeded their most sanguine hopes. But they fear that that which has been done and given under the operation of delusion, will be undone and recalled, as soon as that delusion is done away: they will therefore, to put it out of the power of the people to do this. Strong as the arm of government is now made, they fear that when the people are once roused from their present lethargy, they will be able to restore every thing to the constitutional boundaries; although the struggle to bring things to that state, may be arduous and dangerous. They therefore naturally look out for some foreign assistance, which will be sufficient to enable them to retain all the powers which may now either be given to, or assumed by them, in opposition to every effort, that can be hereafter made by the people to regain them. In selecting this foreign assistance, there was little room for hesitation. A republican government would never assist them in establishing an absolute government, on the destruction of our liberties, but an absolute government would consider it not only as giving a vital blow to republics in general, to destroy American liberty; but as a means of strengthening its own particular government. Between the absolute governments, the choice was as readily made; for there was one which not only so far surpassed the others in power; but also in enmity to American liberty; as to make the finger of the Devil point it out as the most proper engine to be used for the destruction of that liberty. The Americans had, successfully, when subjects, resisted that government which wanted to enslave them; not able to subdue, they have never ceased to hate them; and have continually labored to regain their lost influence over them. They know, that this will be equally as well effected, by our becoming their humble dependents, as if we were again to return to their subjection. A close connection between a strong and a weak man, a wolf and a lamb, or a powerful and a weak nation; will always terminate in the same way—by a total loss of that, which the connection was formed by the weaker party, to preserve. From this similarity of interests and wishes between the governments of these two countries, it is no wonder that the favorite object with both, is—an alliance offensive and defensive, between Great Britain and America. All their measures point to this object. On the part of the people of Great Britain and Ireland, no objection would be made to the measure, because they have long ceased to think for themselves; and because they falsely hope, that such a connection might have a tendency to soften the rigors of that despotism, under which they are now ruled with a rod of iron. But the great difficulty consists in removing the horror, with which the people of America are struck at the thoughts of such an alliance: an union as unnatural as that of virtue and vice, or liberty and slavery. But they suppose necessity will compel us to give up all our antipathies, and all our well grounded fears of the consequences to our liberty, from such an alliance; and therefore if they can once engage us in a war, the expences of which will so far exceed our resources, that we shall soon be obliged to call out for help; and to receive it from that nation, on any terms they may be pleased to rate it at. And our rulers know well, that if such an alliance can once be formed, that they may always afterwards, safely rely

Sir,
I have read with an equal degree of astonishment and admiration, the vast plan proposed by that BIG MAN, Senator Tracey.
The extinguishment of the French nation would never have obtruded itself on my poor, shallow imagination as being possible, had not I after reading your useful paper, made some enquiries of my neighbours, who understand politics as well as any men.—they informed me that the great English nation have actually, not only began this good work, but are at this time five years advanced in the business. How happy I shall be to assist in this great design. I therefore request some of your obliging correspondents to point out how I shall best equip my wife Joan and five small children, with weapons for accomplishing so desirable and humane an event: and to calculate for me, (as I am no scholar,) when I may reasonably look for these our pious wishes being consummated:—calculating by the progress the British have made in the last five years.
DARBY.
CHARLESTON, June 25.
Arrived ship Cornelia Eleonora , Wuffecken, Bourdeaux 60 days.
The English vessels of war had captured so many of the French privateers, and so many of the American vessels had been restored that were captured, and heavy costs adjudged against the captors, that the armateurs or owners, were discouraged, and it was tho' that privateering would be abandoned.
The reports at Bourdeaux when captain Wuffecken failed, were, that Gen. Buonaparte was at Brest: that fourteen hundred gun-boats were collected there: that fifty thousand men had already embarked; and that the descent on England would be attempted in four or five weeks after the 23d of April. Four hundred of the gun boats it was said, were calculated to throw shells.
Verbal accounts gathered from this vessel, say, that the Toulon fleet, consisting of the Venetian vessels, and those which were in Toulon, had joined the fleet at Brest; that on their way, they had appeared off Madeira, where they destroyed a number of fishing vessels, and some English ships; that a number of French privateers had fallen in with 28 sail of Jamaica men, and captured the whole;
six of the prizes had arrived at the Cordovan, when the Cornelia Eleonora left it.
American vessels were arriving and departing as usual; and there was no report or appearance of an immediate rupture with America.
Captain Fuller, of the brig Friendship , which arrived on Sunday last from St. Martins, was carried in there by two French privateers; his vessel and cargo were both condemned under pretence of his roll d'equippage being imperfect; tho' no particular part of it was pointed out as such; he says that upwards of forty-nine American vessels have been captured, and carried in there lately, the whole of which were condemned.
PHILADELPHIA, July 6.
Governor Jay has convened the New-York state legislature, to meet on the 9th of next month at Albany, to take into consideration the present crisis in our affairs, and to do whatever may be proper in the emergency.
Extract of a letter from citizen Talleyrand, Minister of exterior relations, to the Consul General of the French Republic at Philadelphia.
'6th Germinal, 6th year, (26th March.)
'I enclose you my answer to the note of the commissioners of the United States.—You will observe that I do a way every accusation which they had made against the French government. The question therefore, now remains in its true point of view. Two of the envoys are going to return; one remains. This is a proof that there exists a disposition to treat, & that we are far from entertaining the least idea of a rupture.'

IMPORTANT.
Capt Monteath, who arrived at the fort, informs that on or about the 21st ult. arrived at La Guira, the crew of a French privateer, direct from Cadiz, run ashore on the island of Fortuga Selada, to windward of La Guira, who had since her arrival among the islands, taken an American schooner belonging to the northward, but fell in with an English ship of 16 guns, who ran her ashore.—Captain Monteath saw the captain of the privateer's instructions from France—these instructions signified that he had full power to capture every American vessel he fell in with, without any discrimination.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
CLOSE OF HARVEST.
WITH thankful hearts and cheerful voice, Let all the nymphs & swains rejoice, And singing merry make; The plenteous harvest now secure, Let old and young the pleasures pure Of rural life partake.
The barn is fill'd with hay and grain, To spend when storms of snow & rain, Wide devastation brings; Each breast let gratitude possess, Each willing soul forever bless The giver of good things.
Set round the board like christian friends, Let us partake what Heaven us sends, The produce of the earth; Let foreign spirits ne'er intrude, To make us angry, rough or rude, And poison all our mirth.
The jovial song and lively dance, The joy of human life, advance, Let no one, then be sad: Why with dull superstitions cloud, Should we the Almighty's image shroud, When scripture bids be glad?
Then let the hardy jovial swain, That lately mowed the flow'ry plain, Unbend himself awhile; And Kitty quit her spinning wheel, And join to dance the country reel, Forgetting all her toil,
The contemplative mind of age, And sedate philosophic sage, Will join the festive band; While music's most enchanting sound, And joy and virtue dance around, Forever hand in hand.

ANECDOTE.
In French, there are some words which have no correspondent rhyme. A lady asking a poet the rhyme for coiffe , (a lady's head-dress) was answered; Madam, there is none; for what belongs to a lady's head has neither rhyme nor reason.
(Concluded from the first page.)
on the aid of that nation, in any dispute which may take place between them and the people of America. If I am right in these opinions, it follows—that our engaging in war at this time, with France, will necessarily bring on an alliance of the closest kind with Great Britain; and that such an alliance, will necessarily cause a tyranny at home, and a state of dependence abroad. America can never be conquered by any foreign power; and her liberty can never be lost, unless those who attempt to deprive her of it, are aided by a foreign power; let us take care therefore, to form no close political union, with any nation which we know will have both the power and inclination to give our rulers that aid, whenever it may be necessary to effect their wicked purposes.
But, we are told that war, and this alliance, are the only means by which our liberty and independence can be secured. Let us judge of the truth of this assertion, by the real sentiments of those who are most clamorous for their adoption. There is not an old tory in America, who does not espouse this opinion. How long is it since this valuable class of men have become converts to, and advocates for the liberty and independence of America? When I see a black-moor washed white, I shall believe, that these men have changed their principles, and are really in earnest now, in their professions of regard to our liberties and independence, which they so long labored to prevent us from obtaining; but until this shall happen, I shall continue to think that they advocate the present system of our government, because they know that its certain tendency is, to destroy our liberty and independence. Such
of the British subjects as are now in America, not for the purpose of becoming permanent residents of our country, but with a view of returning to their own, as soon as they have, like so many leeches, sucked out our richest blood, are also the warm advocates of these measures. But the man who has no lasting interest in our country, who can leave it at half an hour's notice, and who, after having assisted to kindle a fire which will consume it, can ride away with pleasure and with safety by the light of the blaze, ought never to be permitted to dictate to us the line of conduct which we should pursue.
An Englishman, a Scotchman or an Irishman, who intends to become a permanent citizen of America, and to leave his posterity here; and who, from an attachment to the rights of man, or from his knowledge of the oppressions of the government which he has left; is a real friend to the liberty and independence of America; is our brother, and an American by choice and adoption: but a man of any country, who is adverse in sentiment to the rights of man, who is absent enough, to kiss the rod of power; and bass enough, to consent to bend the knee to some, that he may tyrannize over others, is our foe, and ought to be considered as a real alien, even if born in America. If it is said that many, very many, who are among the best and most virtuous of our citizens, give their sanction to the present measures of our government; I admit it to be a truth, and one which is greatly to be lamented. But these men do not approve of these measures which they are ready to support; they are deceived as to the necessity of them; they are not sufficiently impressed with their consequences: and they do not draw the true distinction between declaring a disapprobation of the measures of government, while we submit to them—and opposing laws by force. Would to God, that this part of our country-men could be brought seriously to reflect on the certain consequences of the measures which they now advocate; and on the real objects of those with whom they are now associated. If this could once take place, we should no longer be a divided people: but unite in making a change of men, and calling for a change of measures: and until this desirable change could be effected, in opposing in a constitutional manner all the real enemies to our liberty and independence; whether they are within, or without our country.
Independence as a nation, if it could be effected without retaining our liberties as a people, would be of no value: United they are invaluable, but separate them, and the seeming prosperity of the nation would only encrease the bitterness of our situation, arising from the loss of our liberties. We might be the subjects of a powerful master, but we should be reduced to the most abject possible state of human misery—that of being the slaves of our own servants.
