LOUISIANA.
The next view proposed to be taken of this subject, was the probable effects which the cession would have upon the Commerce of the Western Country. A writer in a federal paper has endeavored to impress it upon our minds, that the French government will not consider our treaty with Spain as binding upon her, since she was no party to the contract, and that therefore our right to the free navigation of the Mississippi, will probably be contested. This fear is not better founded than the one which proceeded from the fear of French ambition. No principles of the law of nations are better established, than that treaties made by any government are binding upon its successors; and that however after a country or province may be conquered, the treaties in force respecting it, are binding upon the conquerors. Now, the right to the free and undisturbed navigation of the Mississippi is secured to us in our treaty with Spain. By the principles of the law of nations which have been mentioned, this treaty must become binding upon any government which may hereafter rule the Floridas and Louisiana, and will therefore be binding on France. But her Guarantee of this important right to us, in 1778, will afford her no pretext for violating it. In any event, however, force will at all times secure us the right. It is very true, if we must fight one nation, policy would direct our arms against Spain, because she is far less powerful, and of a less enterprising character. But the knowledge possessed by France, that if she contests comes on, she must lose, and we must gain; that war will be attended on her part with the loss of blood and treasure, whilst on ours it will be attended with conquest, and an increase of important territory, must secure us against any dangers of this kind. If France desires the possession of Louisiana, surely she will attempt no project which may endanger it; and this possession will be endangered by a quarrel with America. Not only would she have to fear the power of the federation, but of every state in Europe, all of whom are jealous of her ambition, and smarting under the wounds she has inflicted on them.
But a greater security for the free navigation of the Mississippi, arises from that very ambition which generates our fears. Bonaparte wishes the French nation to prosper, because his glory and popularity are interwoven in her prosperity. His successors, whoever they may be, will be influenced by the same motives. We are informed that the consul is now endeavoring to rouse the spirit of commercial enterprise in France, and to secure the dependence of the colonies, because he is sensible that commerce is important to every European nation. The more extensive the commerce of France, the greater will be the market for her produce and manufactures. Now, the commerce of the United States is important to any nation in Europe. The governments of Great-Britain and France must think so, or they would not have shown so great a disposition to monopolize it. The possession of New-Orleans will give any nation which is disposed to be commercial, a great advantage over others. It will secure them the whole commerce of the western country, a country rising into importance, and progressing in all the arts which adorn civilized life. Is it probable then, that the French government should pursue any measures which should endanger the safety of this important possession? Or which should offend this important people? It cannot be believed. France, then, is not only interested in our friendship, but also in our commercial prosperity; since our provisions will be a never-failing supply for her navy and islands, and our raw materials, particularly our hemp, cotton and flax, for every species of her manufactures. Our wants, in return, will be supplied by her surplus commodities, produce and manufactures.
The commercial situation of the greater part of the western country, cannot however, be much worse than it is at present. Neither quantities of flour, beef, pork, hemp or tobacco, can be sold at New-Orleans; nor are there vessels to find for us distant markets. Nor are our prospects when we look into futurity, very flattering. The country where our principal merchants are to live, is possessed by a people destitute of enterprise, industry or capital; the genius of whose government is inimical to commerce, despotic in its nature, suspicious, illiberal, and tyrannical. What are we to promise ourselves if this people continue in the possession of this important country. We cannot expect them to find us markets. Even if they possessed the funds to purchase, they could not consume our produce.
* See Vattel's law of nations.
† The merchants of Spain, even where they are protected by exclusive privileges, are less active than those of other nations. Their profits are inferior, and their expenditures are greater. English merchants, trading under great disadvantages, make greater profits, and find markets for produce which the Spaniard never thought of. The Spanish subject in every part of the world is the same. Too inactive and indolent for commercial employments, he neglects advantages which others take at the risk of their liberties and lives. Is this character capable of becoming the sole carrier, factor, and merchant for Western America?
duce themselves. We cannot calculate upon the money of the Spanish crown. A small part of our country could supply the people and government with every kind of produce which both might have occasion for. What is to be done with the surplus? The merchants of Kentucky, &c. do not possess sufficient capital to export it. The length of time they must lie out of their money; the hazards they must run, the trust they would have to place in strangers, together with the uncertainty and fluctuating nature of their destined markets, all forbid them to engage in the commerce. It is sufficient for them to land the produce in New-Orleans. There it must change owners—and there the individual must live who is to export it—or the commerce must be given up.
Nor can we expect, if the Spaniard rules the mouth of Mississippi, that Americans from other states will settle there; or if they do, we cannot promise ourselves that in the general they will be men of probity and independence—and such alone would we wish to become our agents. Such men never will submit to the rule of a Spanish despot, whose laws, confined to his own breast, are executed upon the unhappy victim, before he knows of their existence.
Before we promise ourselves that we shall enjoy all the advantages designed for the inhabitants of the western country, by the creator of the universe, we must see a change of masters upon the Mississippi—and these masters must be a people whose qualities are opposite to the Spaniards. We have no prospects that Louisiana will ever belong to the Union, because we have no possession which we can offer France and Spain in exchange. We therefore must with a cession to take place to some power. Perhaps into more fortunate hands for us, could not this country get, than those of the French. The commerce of France would be peculiarly beneficial to this country. The French are an active commercial people, of an enterprising character, fearless and unsuspicious in their temper, liberal in their intercourse with strangers, and possessed of capital sufficient to employ millions. Such people will purchase or exchange for every species of produce which we offer them—their activity will find markets for all our commodities, and their liberality will encourage us to frequent their ports. Such a people may become our factors, carriers and merchants—none others are fit for commercial employments—none others can ever become merchants for all the people which at some future day will be settled upon the waters dependent on the Mississippi. Commerce flourishes with no other people—Action and enterprise are the soul of it. Quick sales, rapid exchanges, capital often employed, promotes the fortune of the merchant, and the prosperity of that people for which they are agents.
DE WITT. ‡ Would this commerce at any rate be beneficial to our country? Would it not remove from us that active capital which should be employed in transporting our produce to Orleans, and in improving the interior of our country? Would it not engage many of our citizens in distant employments, where they would hourly feel less affection and love for their country, and less interest in its affairs—When they are at home, their attachment to it would every moment increase! Men who accumulate fortunes abroad, are apt to form some connexion which breaks asunder the ties which had connected them with their country, and there settle with the capital they had carried from home, and the wealth they had acquired whilst they were absent. Better then had this commerce be conducted by strangers, than the citizens of Kentucky remove to Orleans to conduct it themselves.
|| It may be remarked, that six dollars per barrel for flour, to a Kentuckian, is less profitable than five, to a merchant of New-Orleans—Out of the former price, the expences of agents, the interest of money, inactivity of capital engaged in the trade, is to be deducted. The return is to be made also by a circuitous and expensive route, which is very disadvantageous. Whereas the Orleans merchant no sooner purchases than he can run to the best market—his flour is soon sold—his return is immediate—his agent is himself, or under his own eye—and he is subject to none of the inconveniences of the Kentuckian.

LONDON, July 16.
The following we believe to be a correct outline of the indemnities:—The electorate of Treves and Cologne are to be abolished. The electorate of Mentz is to remain, and Aschaffenburg is to be the residence of the elector, who is to have some districts in the territories of Wurtzburg and Bamberg, and is to cede to the house of Nassau Ultingen, his possessions from Hochst to Oberlahnstein. The archduke Anthony (who was elected by the chapters of Cologne and Munster) is to be the co-adjutor of Mentz. Hesse Darmstadt is to have part of the dutchy of Westphalia and the Bailiwicks of Starkenbourg. Heppentzen and Benheim. Baden is to have the remainder of the bishoprics of Strasburg and Spires, with some of the Imperial cities. The grand duke of Tuscany is to have Salzburg, Passau, Berchtesgaden, &c.—The elector of Bavaria keeps the Innviertel, and is to receive that part of the territories of Wurtzburg and Bamberg, which is on the left bank of the Mien, together with Ech-
stadt, and a part of Upper Suabia. The indemnities to Prussia have been already stated.
A letter from Constantinople, dated May 28, says, "The threatening position of Giorgi Osman, the rebellious Pacha, at Kirt Ecelice, twelve leagues from Adrianople, excite much uneasiness. The Grand Seignor has commanded the captain pacha to take the command of the troops destined against the rebels, and which are estimated at 22,000 men. Osman, it is said, insists on appearing in person before the Sultan, to accuse his enemies, who are the whole cause of his rebellion. He avoids the Imperial troops as much as possible, and it is supposed will try to retire towards the Black Sea. He professes profound submission to the Sultan. His army is not estimated at more than 5,000 horse and a few foot."
The legion of honor is now organized, and a decree has been published dividing the republic into 16 parts, in each of which there is to be a company of the legion. When this institution was originally proposed, it was easy to see that it was designed by the chief consul to be a means of supporting his authority. By the mode in which it is formed it will have the whole weight, and consequence of a military nobility, and by being thus generally diffused over the departments of the republic, its general influence will be more strongly felt among the great body of the people.

Oudinot is appointed by the First Consul, Captain General for Louisiana. Talleyrand is out of health, and gone to the South of France.
La Fayette has written a letter to Bonaparte on the subject of his being consul for life, in which he says, that "he has his vote provided he restores to the people of France, the rights of citizens, and the liberty of the press." Bonaparte has sent him back a verbal message, saying, "tell General La Fayette if I were to do as he wishes, neither he nor I would be in France three months."

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Excerpt of a letter from Paris, dated June 25.
"The absence of Madame Bonaparte, who is gone to take the waters of Plumbiers, has, within these two days, produced a variety of strange reports. It was asserted in every quarter, not only that her absence is not occasioned by ill health, but that it is the prelude to a final separation from her husband. It is added, that after having divorced his wife, which by the existing law he may do with all facility, Bonaparte means to have himself appointed Emperor of the Gauls, and to marry a foreign princess, whom every body names at will, in the hope of having a successor!! You will agree with me in regarding these rumours as extravagant and absurd; but you would witness with at least an equal degree of surprise, the manner they are generally received. The mention of the Imperial Purple seems to flatter the national vanity; and as to the idea of hereditary power, it appears to me that the people are so sick of revolutionary shocks, that they would readily lend their assent to any measure which had for its tendency to remove the apprehension of civil war, and to guarantee them against new convulsions."
"What is more certain than these rumours and speculations is, that the First Consul has lately undergone an operation for a fistula. It was performed by the celebrated chirurgeon Bowyer, and was attended with the most complete success. This is a circumstance not generally known; but his private friends, some of whom mentioned it to me, have been so solicitous to secure him on a circumstance which ensures his health, and lengthens his perspective of longevity."

MURDER & SUICIDE.
The paper printed at Newburg, in the state of New-York, August 19th says—We are informed by two gentlemen who passed thro' Connecticut Farms, New-Jersey, on Friday last that a most horrid deed was committed on the evening before, by a person of the name of Seaman; the circumstances as far as we can recollect are as follows:
Mrs. Seaman had been out to one of the neighbors on the afternoon of Thursday, and two of their children had been to school; on the return of Mrs. Seaman and the children it was supposed that Mr. Seaman, after shutting up the house and fastening the doors,
proceeded to butcher his wife and children. An axe was found in the room, which it is probable was the instrument he used to execute the horrid butchery, as the marks of the axe were plainly discovered on her forehead, the skull being dashed to pieces, and a pillow was found under her head.—The children, it is supposed, while this was transacting had fled up stairs, where they were pursued and massacred by their inhuman father, in a manner too shocking to relate.—After these wicked and barbarous proceedings, he finished the horrid catastrophe by blowing out his own brains; his head being almost entirely shot from his body, and his brains scattered over the room. The following morning the house being shut longer than usual, the neighbours got a ladder and discovered the children in the upper room lying dead, and the floor stained with blood; a magistrate was sent for and the house broke open a jury of inquest were called, but we have not learned their verdict. It is conjectured he was deranged, as it was said that he had some time past exhibited symptoms of insanity. He was in easy circumstances, and his father resides in New-York.

LANCASTER, September 15.
Departed this transitory life, at Norristown, on Wednesday last, in the 70th year of his age, the REV. DOCTOR JOHN EWING, Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, and 40 years pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. As a parent, husband, and divine, the doctor was unequalled. He suffered a long time under the effects of a lingering complaint, from the severity of which, he was frequently led to view his dissolution as very near: Of him it may be truly said, his life was an eminent blessing to society; his death, to himself.

FRANKFORT, September 22.
Extract of a letter to the editor, dated St. Vincennes, 10th September, 1802—evening.
"The council with the Indians was opened this morning. The chiefs and many of the warriors of the Miami, Sauk, Wea, Pian, Kaskaskia, Potawatamie, Kickapoo, Kaskaskias and Eel River nations, have come in, accompanied by about five hundred young men, women and children. They are I believe, well disposed, and highly gratified with the attention paid them since their arrival. The views of government towards them are truly magnanimous. It is ardently wished to ameliorate their savage, barbarous state, and place them in the ease and enjoyment of civilized life."
"The Indians have been grossly imposed upon with regard to the United States. In a drunken frantic fit, they view us as old women—in their cooler reflective moments, as plotting their destruction. Those settled on the Wabash and White rivers, have since the establishment of a government here, been principally under the influence of the Intendant of Indian affairs; but those on the Mississippi, Ouiniconfin and Illinois rivers, and the lakes, have been, and are still completely under the controul of British agents. That treacherous hypocritical nation has now its engines spreading delusions throughout the western country. The most active measures have been taken to frustrate the assembling of the Indians; persuasions and presents have been disseminated with the most vigilant industry, and some have been taught to believe they were only invited here to be inhumanly butchered. The noted M'Kee, shaved, painted, &c. &c. has recently had a war-dance with the Indians that live within our territory, a thing unprecedented in time of peace. The Indians towards the Mississippi and the lakes, visit him annually, are loaded back with presents, &c. and call him the best of men—and I will venture to predict, that if the prayers of old England prevail, the knife and tomahawk will ere long evince to us the energies of a secret service money."
"However, I am in hopes a favorable change will be effected—several circumstances which have occurred within a few days, have made very favorable impressions on the minds of the Indians. The negotiations so far, exhibit a pleasing prospect, and there is no doubt but all the objects for which the meeting has been called, will be fully obtained."

LONDON, July 18.
The last letters received at Vienna from Hermanstadt, in Hungary are far from being satisfactory. They state that a division of Pashwan Oglou's troops have unexpectedly invaded Transylvania from Wallachia; and his unforeseen movements being equally rapid and unprovoked, the Austrian frontier force could not afford protection to the inhabitants of the country, where the rebels committed great excesses. Their plan was to seize the public money in different villages and small towns, but the fiscal officers escaped. The Turks, however, overtook several, and seized the public money from them, and barbarously cut off the arms of the fugitives. The regiment of Splyny cavalry hastened to these districts to succour the inhabitants, and in so doing, met with the most obstinate resistance on the part of the Turks. The Austrians had a number of men killed and wounded. A report of this has been sent to the emperor, and orders have been received for four regiments of horse and as many regiments of foot, to march and drive the invaders from the frontiers; and in case of resistance, even to pursue them to the heart of Wallachia.
It is very certain that the Imperial Cabinet was on the eve of meditating between the Grand Seignor, and Pashwan Oglou; but occurrences of such a hostile nature may probably change this kind disposition on the part of the Austrian government, and induce it to use coercive measures against the Pacha, which may ultimately furnish a pretence for a speedy quarrel with the Porte, and thus produce those important changes, which, according to report, are on the eve of taking place with regard to the Turkish possessions in Europe.
By authentic advices from Vienna, the Porte has actually testified his wishes to the emperor, previous to the invasion of Wallachia, to apply in his own name to Pashwan Oglou, to be more fully informed of his real designs. But this request, from notions of superior dignity was waived. But since Pashwan Oglou has invaded Wallachia, the Austrian commandant, at the desile or pass, called Rothenthrum, (red tower) has been desired to send a trumpet with a letter to Pashwan Oglou, to ask him what his designs were, and what conduct he meant to pursue with regard to all Austrian possessions on that part of the frontiers.
Pashwan Oglou gave a distinguished reception to the Imperial officer who brought the letter, and sent him back with a sealed answer, which was immediately forwarded to Vienna, and in which the Pacha expresses himself to this purport:—
"The Porte certainly made a convention with me last year, and as an apparent sign of her satisfaction, appointed me a pacha of three tails; but I have irrefragable proofs in hand that she ne-
ver was actuated by motives of sincerity towards me, and has cruelly destroyed my family. She attempted to lull me into a treacherous security, and to find means to cut me off clandestinely. Her troops advanced from all sides to press upon my Pascaulik, and by so doing, rendered difficult the subsistence of the brave soldiers under my command. To procure their bread, I had no other resource left them, than to enter Wallachia, and by so doing frustrated the insidious and treacherous designs of the ministers of the Grand Seignor. In other respects I shall always regard the Austrian territories, and have given the most positive orders for this purpose.
(Signed)
PASSWAN OGLU.
LONDON, July 1802.
Yesterday we received French papers to the 15th inst. Their contents are of some importance. The following letter received on the 13th, by the minister of the marine, explains the reason of the late coercive measures used toward the rebel general:
HEAD-QUARTERS AT THE CAPE,
June 11.
CITIZEN MINISTER,
I informed you, in one of my last dispatches, of the pardon which I had been induced to give to general Toussaint. This ambitious man, from the moment of his pardon, did not cease to plot in secret. Though he surrendered, it was because general Christophe and Dessalines intimated to him that he clearly saw he had deceived them, and that they were determined to continue the war no longer. But being deserted by them, he endeavored to form an insurrection among the working negroes, and to raise them in a mass. The accounts which I received from all quarters, and from general Dessalines himself, with respect to the line of conduct which he held since his submission, left no room for doubt on this subject. I intercepted some letters which he had written to one Fontaine, who was his agent at the Cape. They afforded an unanswerable proof that he was engaged in a conspiracy, and that he was anxious to regain his former influence in the colony. He waited only for the result of the disease among the troops.
"In these circumstances it would be improper to give him time to mature his criminal designs. I ordered him to be apprehended: a difficult task, but it succeeded from the excellent dispositions made by the general of division, Brunet, who was intrusted with its execution, and the zeal and ardor of citizen Ferari, a chief of squadron, and my aid de camp.
"I have sent to France, with all his family, this so deeply perfidious man, who, with so much hypocrisy, has done us so much mischief. The government will determine how it should dispose of him.
"The apprehension of general Toussaint occasioned some disturbances. Two leaders of the insurgents are already in custody, and I have ordered them to be shot. About a hundred of the confidential partizans have been secured, some of whom are sent on board the La Muire frigate, which is under orders for the Mediterranean, and the rest are distributed among the different ships of the squadron.
"I am daily occupied in settling the affairs of the colony with the least possible inconvenience; but the excessive heat, and the diseases which attacked us, render it a task extremely painful. I am impatient for the approach of the month of September, when the season will restore us all or activity.
"The departure of Toussaint has produced general joy at the Cape.
"The commissary of justice, Montperon is dead. The colonial prefect, Benezech, is breathing his last. The adjutant commandant, Dampier, is dead: he was a young officer of great promise. I have the honor to salute you.
"LE CLERC."
CORK, July 22.
The signs of weakness and dissolution exhibited by the Turkish government, chiefly appear in the disobedience to its orders, of which so many Pashas are daily affording examples. Those sent against the arch-rebel, Pashwan Oglou, have joined him with their respective divisions—so that his army is increased to 20,000, some say 40,000 men, by whom the entire of Wallachia, has been laid under contribution. Another Pacha named Georgi Osman, is committing equal ravages in the neighborhood of Adrianople, against whom the Captain Pacha was about to march in person.—It is difficult to foresee any other termination to this disorganized state of things, except that of which Poland lately furnished a lamentable precedent; and it will very much depend on the moderation of the present European sovereigns, whether we shall not immediately see that precedent repeated.
BOSTON, Sept. 11.
From Gibraltar, July 9, 1802.
"You no doubt will before now have learnt that Consul Simpson, at Tangiers, has been
ordered away, and being now here, was being declared against the United States. We now feel an infinite pleasure in mentioning to you, that the Emperor appears to have repented of his rashness, and wishes Mr. Simpson to return, allowing six months for an answer from America. Without some concession from the Emperor, and ratifying the old treaty between the two countries, Mr. Simpson is determined not to go over, and it is not improbable that in a short time accounts will be received from your Executive, so as to enable matters being settled. We do not find that any hostilities have as yet been committed, or for the present, is there any appearance of it, still vessels coming this way run a great risk, as there is no knowing what may take place from one moment to another."

THE Subscriber informs the public, that he, having received a fresh supply of the best Philadelphia BOOT-LEGS, together with sundry of the first rate WORK-MEN, is thereby enabled to furnish the fashionable part of the community with BOOTS or SHOES of the first quality, at his shop, opposite Mr. Bradford's printing office, Main street, Lexington, where he will thankfully receive orders for any article in his profession. For the convenience of persons at a distance, who may wish him to supply them with Boots, &c. he has here subjoined a draft, by which they may take their own measures for boots and shoes as accurately as if done by himself; which measure being reduced to inches, and directed to him, will be as carefully attended to as if the party were present—and any work thus made and forwarded agreeably to order, that should not give satisfaction, will, if returned uninjured, be received & the money refunded.
Explanation of the Plate.
FOR BOOTS.
A A Length of the leg from the bottom of the heel, as high as you wish the boot to extend.
B B Calf, measured round the thickest part.
B C Height of the calf.
C C Heel and instep.
C D The instep.
E E The ball of the foot, round the large joint of the great toe—Ascertain the exact length of the foot in inches.
FOR BOOTEES.
The same as above, excepting the length, which should always be long enough to admit the calf to fill up the top of the Bootee, otherwise the top (being large enough to admit the heel) will look awkward unless filled up by the calf of the leg.
Be particular in directing as to the thickness of the leather, fashion, shape &c.—All which shall be duly attended to, by
N. PRENTISS,
Who proposes to furnish materials for boots &c. either cut to measure, or in the patterns. And also makes and sells by retail, Ladies' Stuff Shoes at 1 Dollar a pair.

III: The Price to Subscribers will be One Dollar per Annum , to be paid at the expiration of six months—or Seventy-Five Cents , at the time of subscribing.
The first Number will issue on the 4th January 1803.
The design of this Publication being to combine Amusement with Useful Information, it will be the study of the Editor, by the variety of his subjects to attain that object, and suit the taste of each Reader.
It is expected that Literary Characters will accept the opportunity this Work will afford them, of rendering the results of their labours useful to the Public.
BESIDES Original Essays, the MEDLEY shall contain Selections, in Prose and Verse, from the most approved Authors.
As "The proper study of Mankind is Man," Biographical Sketches of those whom talents or patriotism have rendered conspicuous, shall be frequently introduced.
The advantages resulting from the publication of a Literary Miscellany in a Country where the circulation of Valuable Works is not extensive, must be obvious—The Editor has only to add, that Industry in the collection of materials, and particular attention to the merit and variety of Extracts, shall not be wanting on his part to entitle the MEDLEY to the patronage of the Public.
