ARISTIDES.
No. II.
To the Citizens of Western America.
TO the observing mind it must be evident, that such has been the progress of political vice in the Atlantic states, that instead of attaining that harmony and happiness with which we flattered ourselves, by our ever memorable struggle for liberty, our government has with a gradation as regular as time, been advancing to discord and dissolution—And nothing but an aversion to anarchy and the generous influence of liberty has induced our citizens to tolerate a system so disposed to corruption. But there is a period to which freemen can bear with fortitude the excrescences of government, beyond which they cease to be virtuous, firm or faithful to themselves or posterity, if they are silent and submissive.—Let us then, inhabitants of Western America, far removed from European influence, investigate the causes of unhappiness in America; and while unawed by the daggers of the lurking assassin, be equally regardless of the fleeting epithets of the venal day.—Let us recall to our memories the rise, progress and termination of the revolution in North America, and endeavor to revive the sensations of the birth day of liberty in 1776.—let us remember our former pure affection for the cause of liberty, and our abhorrence of British despotism—recollect the causes which excited us to arm against Britain, and the incentives which urged and supported us through innumerable dangers and difficulties in our contest with the ruffian bands of royalists; and refresh in our memories the horrors of that cruel and revengeful warfare in which the determined enemies to liberty involved the innocent inhabitants of America. We shall no doubt recollect with what unanimity we acted, and with what cheerfulness we sacrificed our private views to the general good—the feeble influence of party was not sufficient to retard or divert the common efforts for the attainment of the grand object—Even the malignant influence of toryism was not sufficient to check the ardour of our citizens when in pursuit of liberty. When the conflict terminated in the disgrace of Britain and the supposed establishment of American freedom, how grateful were our sensations, and how much were our imaginations warmed with the expectation of a free and enlightened government, and disdaining its benefits on its citizens. As the tumult of war subsided, it became necessary and expedient to draw closer the bands of social union, which although unnecessary while in contest with the common enemy to liberty, became essential to our happiness in time of peace.
The United States of America with a fame unfulfilled, high in the estimation of the world, and eager in pursuit of political happiness, without confusion and without a murmur engaged in the important task of renovating their confederated government—Each state delegated to a chosen few the solemn charge, under a full expectation that such an union of interests was contemplated, as would be compatible with the independence and sovereignty of the several states.—The result of the deliberations of the convention was a complete consolidation of the sovereignties of the United States, into one unweildy mass, and the principles of our confederation were totally absorbed in the grand federal constitution.—Enlightened men trembled at the awful distance they saw the servants of the public placed from the citizens—they dreaded with sufficient foundation the entire want of responsibility in the leading officers of government—they predicted the events which have really happened, and anticipated with horror the disposition to aristocracy with which they saw our form of government pregnant—they saw the seeds of discord and disquiet sown deep in the fatal plan.
We can readily recollect the unhappy influence, which high sounding names and the intrigues of the authors of the system produced in the public mind—how we were torn to pieces and narrowly escaped the horrors of civil war, before the form of government could be so far tolerated as to be preferred to anarchy. Whether this form of government was the adroitious
result of the discordant interests of the several states, or was the effect of a deep design; those most conversant in its formation can best determine.—But there is little doubt, that some of the leading members of the convention were desirous of approaching as near to monarchy as possible, and strove to give the government the highest possible tone. Here let us pause and reflect for a moment on the necessity there was for a high toned government over the citizens of America.—The ostensible objects of all governments are laid to be, the security of the natural rights of the individuals who compose it. The citizens of the United States were perhaps the most enlightened people on earth in the genuine principles of government. Each state had adopted a form, which they found completely equal to their internal regulation—it was simple in its construction and its administration, ever open to inspection, rendered the public servant substantially responsible. All therefore that remained was to delegate to the general government such powers as regarded our intercourse with foreign nations. Great coercive powers were not necessary for this purpose; for it is a matter of uncontrollable, that enlightened freemen require not the energies of government to compel them to defend their just rights and discharge their sacred obligations. There is infinitely greater danger that government will intrude itself between the citizens and the exercise of their duties to themselves and others—The high hand of the general government was not necessary to aid the several states, to retain their citizens within their duty—the discharge of every social obligation would have been performed without the energetic influence of the host of drones and sycophants that surround the treasury of the United States.
The more we reflect on the nature and essence of government, the more we shall be convinced that those who strive for a high toned government, are real tyrants at heart. It is a specious mask calculated to deceive and defraud freemen out of their earnings and their rights. Slaves may require the whip and goad to compel them to contribute their pittance to the pampered vultures who prey upon them; but the freemen of America never required an incentive to action, but a conviction of the justice and propriety of a demand of service or a treasure. And that government which is built on fear as its basis, may for the moment, extract the adulation of the mercenary and timid, but it is defective at its foundation; and the irresistible spring incident to liberty will when the great occasion requires quickly dissolve it. With the principles of a consolidated and high toned government in full and constant view the administration commence their political career. Let us pursue them through the mazes of their crooked and corrupt policy, and mark some of the most glaring violations of the rights of Americans.
It is a remark founded in truth, that our administration from the commencement have uniformly and invariably adopted the British systems of government—Every plan that a corrupt and degenerate people held out for imitation, they copied literally—Without consulting the spirit of our government or the genius of Americans, they dragged us into the most humble imitations of the vices of our monarchical enemies. This is one source from whence have been derived those unhappy principles by which our intercourse with foreign nations and our system of revenue have been regulated. A prevailing practice with our administration has been to render the machinery of government as labored and complex as possible, in order that responsibility might be hidden from the citizens and they rendered incapable of distinguishing between the necessary and unnecessary burdens imposed on them.
The system of finance, which of all the parts of government is the most important, was a slavish copy from the British model. By it the wealthy were invited with flattering prospects of gain to rally around the standard of the prevailing administration; and the most invidious distinctions drawn in their favor, until they became sensible that the energy of government and their interest was the same. The system thus held out by a vigorous and youthful government, induced the moneyed men of Great Bri-
tain to embark their treasures in its funds and banks, rather than continue them exposed to a tottering and falling monarchy.
Here was a noble band of royalists, who enlisted themselves under the banners of our administration; and they flattered themselves that as they could not conquer us by the sword, they could in time so assimilate our principles and practice to theirs, that a victory was eventually secure—a victory gained not by blood, but by commercial intrigue and corruption—a victory which would secure them an ascendancy more complete than hosts of murdering legions could accomplish.

VIENNA, May 31.
The raising of troops is relaxed. We begin to observe some coolness in the zeal of the Hungarians, and especially of the nobles. These have requested of the emperor, that considering the immense expenses which the insurrection has cost them, and which already amounts to more than eight millions, they shall be exempted from paying the six millions promised by the Diet, for the continuation of the war. The Emperor has answered, that these six millions not being destined for the army raised on account of the insurrection, but for the regiments of the line and being already partly appropriated he could not accede to their request.
June 1.
The Croats commit the most shocking excesses in the environs of this capital. The officers themselves, far from repressing these disorders, are the first to rob & assassinate the travellers and husbandmen.
Every thing indicates a great distrust in this government, not only of the French and Prussians, but also against England, whose Ambassador, Mr. Eden, is ready to quit us.
BOURDEAUX, June 23.
Paris accounts say, that letters, from the Cape of Good Hope, of the month of March mention, that there exists there a very great discontent against the English. The English, having exhausted all the paper money of the Dutch Company, are going to issue some which will have a forced currency. This makes the inhabitants murmur. The colony has suffered much since the arrival of the English. A great scarcity began to be felt there; and three vessels had sailed for Bengal, to bring grain and rice. The inhabitants repent now of having surrendered to the English, and there are often very violent contentions between those of the inhabitants who detest their new masters and those who co-operate in the surrender of the colony.
COLOGNE, June 3.
Gen. Hoche has just published an arrest, which suppresses the contributions and requisitions imposed before the 21st of March, and fixes at 8 millions the sum to be paid by the conquered countries viz. 2,750,000 in specie, and 5,250,000 in provisions.
RATISBON, June 5.
We now see in print the letter which the Supreme head of the Empire addressed, under date of Sept. 7. 1796, to the Electors, relative to the unconstitutional encroachments and taking possession in Franconia by the King of Prussia. After the exposition of the measures of the cabinet of Berlin, and a refutation of the motives alleged, his imperial majesty asks of the Electors not only to give him with patriotic frankness their advice what means he ought to take, in his quality of head of the Empire, in this affair, but also to interpose their constitutional influence to induce his Prussian Majesty to re establish the integrity of the imperial possessions in Franconia &c.
LONDON, June 9.
Mr. Fox, in his late speech, talks much of Prophecies, accomplishment of Pitt's Prophecies, &c. &c. but it is thought Richard Brothers has been the best prophet among them all, as his predictions are, many of them, literally, and hourly coming to pass; and yet poor Brothers is confined in a mad house while Pitt and co. are running at large.
Strong symptoms of disaffection have recently been manifested in Naples and 120 persons of the first families have been arrested. Among them are two brothers of the
prince Belmonte Pignatelli who signed the treaty with France, and the duke of Viterbo, whose only crime was to have kept the gazette of Florence in his desk. Nothing escapes the vigilance of the ministerial inquisition.
But all these measures to check the progress of Jacobinism, or rather republicanism, will have but a temporary effect. The principles which the French armies have spread in Italy, aided by 30,000 French troops, who are to remain there, will in a few years revolutionize all that country. The Pope will lose his mitre and the king of Naples his throne. Mi e v.
SALEM, August 11.
By the accounts from the Hague of June 2, it appears that there is not much political harmony in the measures of the Batavian republic. They say that there exists among them the most odious and absurd tyranny that ever profaned the sacred name of liberty.
The German accounts state, that the news of the signature of the preliminaries, by the Austrians and French, produced disagreeable sensations at Berlin—that the King of Prussia (whose mediation in this business was refused with haughtiness) had lost his influence in the north of Germany, since it is known that the integrity of the empire is to be the basis of the treaty—and that Austria Prussia and France were forming strong armies, supposed to be destined to the neighbourhood of the Congress while they deliberate on the subject of a general peace.
We understand that a letter from Hamburgh mentions that insurance on American vessels was likely to fall in consequence of accounts that the French are ceasing to condemn merely for want of the role d'equipe, provided all other papers are regular.
NEW-YORK, August 16.
IMPORTANT.
By captain Marlin, of the Schooner Prosperity, arrived last evening from St. Thomas's we learn that he spoke a sloop of war, with accounts to June 26, who informed, that preliminaries of Peace, between France and Great Britain, were agreed to. But we suspect some mistake here, as on the 23d at Paris the spot for negotiation was but just fixed on.

PHILADELPHIA, August 15.
Capt. Rice of the ship George, informs, that he was at Lisbon on the 18th June last (the day before he sailed from St. U.) and was there informed by the American consul, Mr. Tolardo, that the French and Spanish armies had entered the frontiers of Portugal in three different bodies. Capt. Rice says, that this news was currently circulated at the exchange in Lisbon, and was generally believed.
From the Philadelphia gazette of last evening.
Letter from New-York dated yesterday. "I am just informed that the captain of the Hancock, on his passage from Belfast, spoke two English armed ships ten days out from Cork, who informed him that all the mutiny ships at the Nore had come over to government, except one which had on board Parker and the other delegates; They offered to give themselves up, on condition of a pardon, which was refused by government. I believe this may be depended on; I am now about ascertaining more particularly; but I shall be too late for the mail if I delay closing my letter."
Extract of a letter from a respectable merchant in Belfast, to his brother in this city, dated June 12. 1797.
Our fleet is still in a disturbed state, they now term themselves the floating republic, and insist on a dismissal of ministers, a reform in parliament, and emancipation to the Roman Catholics.
MORE INSURRECTIONS.
Accounts have been received in London, that the inhabitants of the hilly country situated about 300 miles from Canton, in China, have expressed their discontent at the old emperor's appointment of his fifteenth son to succeed him on the throne; some large bodies of troops have been sent to reduce them to obedience, but the greatness of their number and the advantage of their situation, have hitherto enabled them to resist with success every effort.
A dreadful insurrection broke out at Geno-

a. on the 22d of May. The colliers assembled to the number of about 12000, burst open the gates of the prisons, and with the assistance of the Russians released, they committed the utmost atrocities all over the town. Four noblemen had been beheaded when the mail left Genoa, under an escort of 200 men.
An entire revolution is expected to take place in Venice. On the 3d of May every thing was in confusion there. The great council, with cannon planted at their gates, have given up all their authority to a committee of thirty persons. Buonaparte requires the abolition of the Senate, and the council of Ten. The tree of liberty is planted in St. Mark's place at Venice; and Padua and Vicenza have formally required to be united to Lombardy.—The nobles, to the number of 600, have met, and 593 of them voted for introducing the democratic government, and only seven for the former aristocracy.
BALTIMORE, August 15.
Letters are in town, of a recent date from Cape François, which makes mention that affairs in the French West-India islands begin to assume a very favorable aspect with regard to our commerce. That the tribunal of admiralty, do not now condemn American vessels on such frivolous pretences as heretofore, and that they have lately reversed several of their condemnations, and caused the captors to pay costs. That a vessel belonging to New York, being lately carried into the Cape, was immediately restored to the captain, and the prize master committed to prison. We are informed that captain Scransbury, of this port, was carried into the above place where his vessel was cleared, and the captor doomed to pay costs and damages, which he failing to comply with, captain S. caused him to be committed to prison, where he remained when our accounts left there.

RIGHTS OF MAN.
Notwithstanding all that has been said about the rights of man, of late years, there are many rights which belong to us, and which we have never yet seen enumerated; as for example; We have the right of killing the fowls of the air, if we are worth 100l. a year, and pay three guineas for a licence.
We have the right of being officers in the army if we purchase commissions.
We have the right of making hair powder, if we pay for a licence.
We have the right of eating, if we have any thing to eat.
We have the right of keeping public gaming tables, if we are persons of quality.
We have the right of going to law, if we have money.
We have a right of speaking in favor of the minister and his measures.
We have the right of thinking on all political subjects: and,
We have the right of holding our tongues.
