ARISTIDES.
No. III.
To the Citizens of Western America.
THE patrons of consolidated government forefaw that unless they held the purse strings, they were only in possession of a dead letter. They therefore exerted every talent at silencing, and produced the great funding system with its appendage, the assumption law. The establishment of those engines of administration, and nurseries of aristocracy, the banks succeeded. By thus concentrating to a point the views and fortunes of so large a portion of citizens and foreigners, they engendered that undue influence, which will ever attend an accumulation of wealth. The spirit of a republican government requires a constant dissemination of wealth and power; and abhors that fictitious aid which is derived from an union of the wealthy. Wild and fanciful theories, unjust in practice, were adopted and thereby promoted those distracting animosities which rend us to pieces. The doors of speculation were thrown open, and thousands of our citizens were instantly converted into swindlers and gamblers who might otherwise have been employed in useful labors.
The knowing few amassed unwieldy fortunes, while disappointment and bankruptcy became the lot of many. And what rendered the favorite plan still more reprehensible, was, that the vile and disgraceful traffic, was erected on the sweat and labors of the soldier and patriot of 1777. Impoverished by their struggles for liberty, that meritorious class of citizens were compelled to part with the evidence of a debt due them from their country—But added to the unavoidable necessity to which they might have been reduced, from the common calamities of the war.—Their situation was cruel indeed when that country for which they bled, instead of exerting its new born energies, for their immediate relief, instituted a regular system of speculation on them.
The consequence was, that those who were in the secrets of administration, and those who had fattened on the spoils of war, dispersed their emissaries from one end of the continent to the other, and purchased at an extreme discount, all the remaining evidences of the plighted faith of the Union, which remained in the hands of the needy and uninformed soldier. The faith of the Federal Government was now pledged in its fullest extent, and a rich variety of means secured for the discharge of this new fangled public debt. Every man who had obtained a certificate, became the firm friend of administration, & no inconsistency was too evident, no folly or crime too palpable to be covered by the friends of energetic government. Having thus consolidated the Continental and State debts into a mass; it necessarily followed, that a revenue commensurate with it should be raised with the most enlightened information on the subject, and furnished with the experience of those who had preceded us in the art of government.—We adopted the corrupt system of obtaining a revenue, held out by those from whose grasp we had just escaped; every indirect and artful means of extracting taxes from the purses of the citizens, is preferred to the open candid and direct. Imposts, duties and excise are increased to a number approaching fast to the hateful catalogue of our British model. Few articles that are either necessary or useful have escaped the attention, of our rapacious administration.—Every citizen in any measure disposed to reflection, must be astonished at this unceasing increase of taxes. He cannot but enquire, whether all governments as they advance in years require constant additions to their revenue, and for what purpose. Whether they have an invincible inclination to imbecility, so as to require the incessant and energetic aid of the treasures of the citizens, to invigorate them—Or whether the gratification of one appetite in our rulers, begets a new desire; or whether pomp, luxury and folly, so pervades the mass of well born citizens who are called to administration, that no revenue will be completely equal to their wants. And whether the appropriations in a republican govern-
ment, must of necessity for ever exceed the exactions made from the laborious citizen.
Let the model which the freemen of America have chosen for their guide, the immaculate British government determine those questions. Having thus taken a slight view of the progress of our government, sufficient perhaps to awaken some reflections in the minds of such as think subjects of this kind, worthy their attention.—Let us pursue our administration thro' the mazes of political intrigue, in which its crooked policy has involved it. It would be endless and unnecessary to detail all the errors which they have committed. It is with governments as with individuals; the most upright will occasionally err. They will adopt measures which on reflection, they will relinquish, confess their error and amend. But our administration have a Polar Star to direct their course, and such has been their invariable attachment to their original system of policy that few deviations have happened. Increase of power, increase of revenue & increase of aristocratic principles, is their political creed. That those are prominent features of the prevailing administration is too evident to be denied. The reverse of the picture offers features equally striking; decrease of patriotism, decrease of economy and decrease of republicanism. It is not the jaundiced eye of disappointment and disgust that thus paints to itself this gloomy collection of distorted features.—But truth with a force irresistible, must compel the mist of political darkness to yield to a day of light and reason—And that day is not distant. To attribute all the conduct of administration to a total deprivation of public virtue, would be absurd. It is necessary in order to satisfy the enquiring mind, to search after the motives to action. We shall discover that one grand source of our misfortunes, is that undue influence which the commercial interest of the Atlantic shore has over our policy. The present vitiated system of commerce is extremely hostile to a Republican Government.—The boasted advantages of commerce will be found to shrink from just enquiry—It is in its nature simple and easily managed, but by the artifices of corrupt governments has been converted into an engine of unlimited domination. To a nation who like the British or Algerines, claim a pre-eminence in Sea-robbing—Commerce may be all important. It is the great nursery for their seamen; it half prepares them for the abandoned and profligate scenes in which they are to be engaged in the national navy. Some exchange and transportation of produce between nations may be necessary and proper; but the advantages of trade are at present infinitely overbalanced by the loss of citizens; and the misery and corruption of morals incident to a seafaring life. The thousands of the human race that are cooped up in a few plank, deprived of every rational enjoyment, & subjected to the most rigid of all tyranny, must add but little to the stock of virtue and morality in any country—There is no class of men who are more degraded in their condition, nor any who are so effectually deprived of the blessings of society—They have no will of their own, and are constantly subjected to arbitrary laws, framed by those whose interest it is to oppress them.—This is the situation of that class of men who are the sinews of commerce.—If this boasted commerce was but stripped of the artificial shackles imposed on it by government, it would perhaps be a faithful index of the propriety of a nation—But at present it is an immense game at hazard, and he who is most ingenious and most adventurous will best succeed.—But it is so loaded with associations and laws regulating it, that like most other artificial means which government has assumed to itself, its uses and advantages are perverted entirely. This view of the subject certainly presents nothing flattering to a Republican Government. But to ascend the merchants themselves, they are from habit to under the influence of loss and gain, that they become incapable of devoting any time to the duties of society in general—And having constantly under their view and command a set of men far degraded below the citizens; they insensibly lose the just principles of equality, and
conceive themselves a higher order of citizens. Their ready access to the luxuries of life, leads them to indulgence, and they become the most pampered of all citizens. From motives of interest they are enemies to that economy which is essential to the happiness of a Republic.—Our administration like most other governments, have converted our commerce into an engine of state. They have contrived to blend the mercantile interest with the powers of our government. And we uniformly see the atlantic merchants advocating the measures of administration. The chain is thus formed: Administration hold the public purse—the banks hold immense private purses, and considerable portions of public money—the leading merchants are state rulers and bankers, and closely connected with British merchants—and the mass of traders are the veriest slaves to the banks and those merchants—to that administration have but to sanctify a measure and the banking and mercantile influence is instantly exerted to promote it.
ARISTIDES.
LEGHORN, May 19.
This morning, immediately after the arrival of a courier from general Buonaparte, all the French artillery men and sailors, Corsicans and others, set off to man the Venetian fleet, of which the French had taken possession.
LONDON, June 14.
It was stated in a Dutch paper of a recent date, that the greatest dissensions had appeared in Holland on the subject of the new form of government and that a member had the boldness to rise up in his place, at a late meeting of the national convention, on the report of the debt and the new partition of the republic, and to denounce the new constitution as unworthy of their acceptance. The last Paris papers corroborate the information, by intimating, in a letter from Brussels, June 6 that the French army of the North, "were crossing the dutchy of Cleves, in five columns, to enter Holland, where it is considered that their presence will be necessary at the time of the publication or acceptance of the new constitution, and for enforcing the new plan of finance, which meets with great opposition!"
It is remarkable, the importation of French wine for the year ending the 5th of April 1797, exceeded that of the year ending the 5th April 1795, by 133 tons; the importation of 1797 being 655 tons, and that of 1795 little more than 525 tons.
June 15.
The happy termination of an internal commotion so much dreaded, together with the hopes of peace abroad, have, within the last few days, brightened the political hemisphere considerably; with respect, however to the latter circumstance, it may be wise not to be too sanguine in our expectations. The re-appointment of Lord Malmesbury as our ambassador to France, is equally honorable to his Lordship, and favorable to the kingdom; and if the spirit of peace and justice can be supposed at length to govern the French Directory, the negotiation in which his Lordship is at present engaged, will not be broken off with the abruptness and insolence which he experienced when last at Paris.
The funds this day experienced very considerable fluctuations:—Consols got up in the course of the day to 55, and the omnium to 18 premium; but at the close of the day they fell to 53 3-4. This depression, it seems, was occasioned by a rumour, of government having received advice, that the French Directory would not treat for peace, but on the following preliminary stipulations, viz—The surrender on the part of England, of all her conquests; also to cede Gibraltar to Spain, and Jamaica to France; to restore the same number of ships of war &c. that were either taken or destroyed at Toulon; and to pay the French Republic twelve millions sterling, in compensation for their other losses! Upon this preposterous report, was Change Alley thrown into a panic fever for the last hour, from which it shewed but small symptoms of recovery at the close of the market!
Buonaparte is to interfere as mediator in the troubled state of Genoa, & is about to place a camp of 12,000 men in the environs of that city.
Every necessary arrangement for commencing the negotiation between this country and France, is now completely formed. Lord Malmesbury is the person appointed to treat in behalf of this country, and we understand that M. Barthelemy is the negotiator on the part of the French.
A cabinet council was yesterday held at Lord Grenville's office, on the subject of Lord Malmesbury's credentials when it was determined that his lordship should be invested with full powers to negotiate and conclude a peace with the French Republic. He is expected to set out for Paris on Monday next, accompanied by Lord Morpeth, son to the earl of Carlisle, and two other gentlemen as his secretaries.
Lord Bridport's fleet was off Falmouth all day on Sunday last, and on Monday passed to the eastward.
BANK OF ENGLAND.
—In the House of Commons.—
The Chancellor of Exchequer gave notice, that he would to-morrow move for leave to bring in a bill to continue the restrictions on the bank of England with respect to payments in specie, for a further time to be limited.
A council sat yesterday at eleven o'clock; and about half past twelve, Lord Malmesbury was sent for and introduced into the cabinet; when his lordship received directions to prepare himself to go to Paris as soon as possible.
Lord Morpeth, or Lord Leveson Gower, will attend his lordship, as secretary of the embassy; but it is not determined which of these gentlemen should be appointed, as great interest is making by the friends of both parties.
We have the satisfaction to know, that let the negotiation take what turn it may, there are at least very solid hopes, at its commencement, that it will be brought to an amicable conclusion. M. Barthelemy has certainly written a letter to Lord Grenville in the most friendly terms, expressing his sincere wish for the return of peace.
June 17.
Yesterday's fluctuations in the alley were more extraordinary than those of the day before; at one time of the day, consols were down at 51 1-2, and again sprung up to 53, at which price they closed; omnium was depressed at one part of the day to 6 1-2 premium, and then again to 2 1-2.
By letters from on board admiral Duncan's fleet, dated off the Texel on Monday last, we learn, that they were daily within sight of the Dutch fleet, which appeared to consist of three 70 gun ships, and about ten or twelve other two decked ships. Admiral Duncan had certain intelligence of the intention of the Dutch fleet to put to sea, and their destination was, upon good information supposed to be Scotland.
PARIS, 24 Prairial, June 12.
It is certain that the directory have written to the emperor, advising him, that, in setting at liberty general La Fayette and his companions in misfortunes, he would do a thing agreeable to the French government.
NEW-YORK, August 15.
Accounts from Ireland continue to grow more alarming. They state, that the apprehensions of administration and the exertions of the United Irishmen keep pace with each other. That the castle and bank, have been placed in a posture of defence, as if in expectation of an assault. That throughout the provinces of Leinster and Ulster, and a great part of Munster, the combination against government is completely organized, and carried on with such system and secrecy, as to baffle the most vigilant and severe measures employed for detection. The partial discoveries hitherto made, and the strong suspicions entertained against numbers, have only affected individuals, without reaching the main body of the conspiracy—Great quantities of arms are said to be kept concealed and in readiness for the critical moment; and such is the sanguine confidence of many, in their strength, order and unanimity, that they expect to effect an important change with little or no bloodshed. This, however, can scarcely be expected, when we consider the impetuous spirit of the Irish, and the efforts that will be made on the part of govern-

ment, before they will suffer a diminution of the power.
August 23.
Extract of a letter from Montreal.
As to the projected invasion of Louisiana, it has had its rise and progress in the the United States. We were unacquainted with the circumstance before it was detailed in the American Gazettes. It has undoubtedly made some talk among us but is considered in the light it deserves."
Extract of a letter from Bolton.
"Great parade is making here in receiving the present president, and a faction is advised to look at it with a sigh"—Notwithstanding all this, it is the opinion of many that Mr. Adams had much better be at the seat of government minding his business, than travelling about at his time of life, seeking adventures, puff addresses, and idle congratulation. Washington had a kind of pre-emption to this folly, as his popularity was buoyed up on the splendid successes of the war: but such pageantry, in the present instance, is inexcusably ridiculous and contemptible. The pilot of the republic, in the present state of things, has no business on the top-gallant yard, airing himself, and cutting capers in the fluter of the top-gallant royals."
August 24.
The citizens of Fayetteville, North Carolina, gave a dinner to their representative in Congress William Barry Greville, on the 9th instant, when addresses were interchanged, and toasts drank. The two following were among the toasts:—
9. The American revolution of 76—May all revolutions like it originate in necessity, be conducted with ardour, and terminate in liberty and peace.
10. Sharp measures to Blount traitors.
PHILADELPHIA, August 22.
Extract of a letter from an officer on board the irresistible man of war, to his friend in Hamilton, dated May 5, off Cadiz.
"By a vessel just now come out of Cadiz we understand Mr. Muir is not dead, but badly wounded in the face. He came home a state prisoner, being taken up at the Havannah for an English spy. He says he made his escape from the frigate after he boarded her, where he saw some of his townsmen and countrymen."
August 24.
We have it from good information that an express is on the road from Mr. Ellicott, informing government, that the Spaniards are in force at the Natchez, and have sent an order to Mr. Ellicott to withdraw the troops of the United States from their post—which he has positively refused unless forced thereto. The inhabitants of that country are still very anxious to be under the government of the United States: how this business will terminate, time will only discover; but it will probably appear by the dispatches which we suppose will arrive to-morrow, that the intentions of the Spanish commander are evidently hostile to this government.
ALEXANDRIA, August 19.
Gentlemen,
I observe in your paper of the 14th instant a piece of news, said to have been brought by me from Rotterdam which has not been reported to you in its true light. So far is true—I had the pleasure of dining at the American consuls, in company with General Pinckney. I consulted him on the safety of my returning to America under American papers, with my ship and cargo. As the ship and principal part of the cargo was my own property, I had no orders to comply with from my employers; therefore, thought it necessary to consult him. He candidly gave me his opinion, as a private man, that he did not think there was any danger, provided my papers were clear, and I had a role d'équipage, and that he was in hopes the difference between America and France would be amicably settled soon as every thing bore a most favorable aspect at present. Many of the vessels that had been captured and taken into France had been cleared, with costs and damages to be paid by the captors, and it was the general opinion of merchants in Holland, that the French nation did not wish to fall out with America, and as a proof of it I had part of my cargo underwrote for five per cent. from Rotterdam to Alexandria.
—But for me to say that general Pinckney had informed me, that the executive Directory had invited him to return to Paris and resume his functions, and that he was only writhing for fresh instructions from his government to comply with their invitation—that part of the publication is erroneous; general Pinckney I believe, would inform no person of his secret business in public affairs.
I am, dear gentlemen,
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
JOHN TOWERS,
Master of the ship Saratoga,

LYNCHBURGH, August 14.
A pressing message we are informed has been lately received by the superintendent of military stores at New-London from the war office directing that a parcel of cannon, shot, shells, &c. be forwarded with all possible dispatch to Knoxville—What the object may be we are as yet unable to conjecture—whether it be to commence a talk with our tawny pelted allies the dons or savage, or furnish the forts in the western countries—time will evince.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
IN days of old when heroes fought, And cities stream'd with blood, Poets, to better strains untaught, Sung of the crimson flood.
Far nobler themes my muse invite Than e'er inspir'd those sons of might,
Freedom, who long had dormant lain, While despots bore the sway, Vouchsafes to visit man again Reveal'd by truth's bright ray: Hence then, ye poets, join to praise Freedom in your immortal lays.
And first, the brave, untivall'd chief, Who did her cause maintain, Whose works evinc'd on every leaf, Their nervous author, PAYNE: While gratitude inspire your song, To him your warmest thanks belong.
A bolder champion to engage, Falsehood had never found: Resplendent with illun'd each page And flash'd conviction round. Soon as the mighty work began, All nature echo'd RIGHTS OF MAN!
Fain would the muse now take her flight And sing Old England free, That charming isle, where once to bright Reign'd heaven-born Liberty: But ah, how fallen! yet soon she'll rise And proudly claim her native skies.
BON MOT.
A gentleman at table, observing another paying particular attention to an excellent ham of bacon, asked him "What would you say to that ham, if you were a Jew?" The other replied, "I would say as Agrippa said to Paul—almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian."
