DISPUTATION.
On the negative of this question "Are the characters and opinions of the present age in their tendency unfavorable to human happiness." Delivered at Williams' College, Massachusetts, Sept. 1800.
By J. H. RUSSELL.
Concluded.
What then is the cause of alarm at the present day? Why are we terrifying our minds with the idea "that mankind are about to fall back into their former state of barbarity?" Do we fear a new system of superstition? Is it probable that some modern Mahomet will again arise and deceive mankind? Will the Pope, that man of sin, pervert the truth or corrupt the world with his abominable doctrines?
But it is said that although superstition and tyranny do not characterize the present age, yet mankind, left to reason for themselves, are now infatuated with strange and novel doctrines. It has been asserted, in this assembly, that wild and extravagant systems are now prevalent, which in their nature tend to destroy all government and every principle of civil society.
It cannot be disputed that some men are yet involved in error. This age undoubtedly produces some visionary theorists! But was there ever a time when such men did not exist? Can we expect all men will think alike? If truth could be discovered without labor or pains, if the understanding could discern the agreement or disagreement of things, with the same facility that the eye discerns the color or motion of natural bodies; error and diversity of opinion would be at an end. But the faculties of man are not so happily formed. It is necessary to search for truth with diligence and attention. We must examine various errors, we must hazard various conjectures, before we can establish the principles which are right. Hence in modern times there are visionary theorists, but so far are they from injuring the cause of truth, that they will probably accelerate its progress. The existence of these modern doctrines will rouse the attention of mankind. The civilized world is now engaged in a war of principles. Christianity contends with infidelity, liberty with despotism. And can we apprehend injury to the cause of truth, of virtue, or religion, from such a contest? Will not Christianity bear the test? Are the divine truths contained in the bible, contradictory to the no less divine result of reason? No man will dare to maintain such an idea. For if Christianity be of divine original, the efforts of infidelity can never prevail against it. The more violent the attack, the greater degree of light and truth will shine through every page of the sacred book.
Another cause of alarm is brought into view. Secret societies are said to be formed for the express purpose of propagating these modern doctrines. A considerable part of the philosophers and men of learning in Europe are said to have formed a combination calling themselves ILLUMINATI for the overthrow of all religion, government and science.
It is acknowledged that the founders of these societies are men of extensive science, it is acknowledged that many of them are the most literary characters of the age. This acknowledgement would be sufficient in the minds of most men to refute the whole account. For in what age of the world do we find learned men conspire for the destruction of science? But if we allow that such societies do exist if we grant the most that can be possibly said yet the question will be asked how will they effect their designs?
To affirm that these men are to introduce monstrous principles without any weapons but those of reason, without any mode of gaining proselytes but that of addressing the understanding, would be at once contradictory and absurd.
For in the whole history of man we find not a single instance of men deluding their fellow men, by the efforts of reason. It is superstition or fear which deludes the human mind. As long as these illuminates neither pretend to supernatural agency, nor terrify the mind by means of some imaginary deity, as long as they use intellectual weapons, the very instruments by which truth is propagated, it is impossible that they should become dangerous in this enlightened age. When we view the moral doctrines of the present day, and consider the state of mankind and the means of communicating knowledge to all ranks of men, even the lowest peasant, we are irresistibly forced to one or the other of these conclusions, either that these doctrines cannot prevail, or that they are far less dangerous
* From the accounts of professor Robinson and the Abbe Barruel, it is highly probable that a number of philanthropists, in France, in Germany, and other parts of Europe, had formed a secret combination to destroy the established religion and government, and to introduce a system of morality founded on the principles of nature and reason. In the third vol. of Barruel's "Memoirs of Jacobinism" are the following instructions (as near as I can recollect) of Weisaupt, the principal respecting the persons to be admitted into the society. "Seek me out men of firmness and experienced virtue—frequent public places, observe the young men of talents and resolution, and before you place confidence, examine their minutest actions, wake them suddenly from sleep, surprise them with danger, and penetrate their most secret conduct."
than are generally thought. Mankind cannot adopt principles which in their very nature tend to destroy the happiness of themselves and society.
We may be deceived as to the means, our passions may prevent a calculation of cause and effect, but our reason can never adopt an error. "By the law of sensation man as naturally tends to make himself happy, as the flame to ascend, the stone to gravitate, or the water to gain its level." We can adopt errors only when we are too ignorant to discern the consequences. When we are on the edge of a precipice, if we see the danger, we shall avoid it, and when we see the error of French philosophy we shall reject its doctrines. If we entertain fears that these doctrines will prevail in this enlightened age we must confess that mankind are not possessed of reason, or that these doctrines contain a very considerable degree of truth. When we tell men that they are in danger of candidly adopting an error, we acknowledge that it is a truth and not an error which we are afraid they will believe. By such a conduct we do not injure the very cause we wish to support?
Mankind were never before engaged in so important contest. It is not a contest of tyrants for the acquisition of territory or dominion. It is not a contest of different religious sects equally contradictory and absurd, but it is a contest about the first principles of civil society, & the foundation of social happiness. A war of principles has now commenced. Intellectual powers are the weapons. Truth stands ready to decide the victory. Instead of yielding assent to principles through fear or force, mankind are now assuming to themselves the right to discuss the principles of their own happiness, the foundation of government, religion, morals, and civil society. From such a prospect the most animating hopes arise. For although the improvement of man during this century has been rapid beyond example, although the progress of science and the arts has been without a parallel, yet they have not arrived at the utmost limits of perfection. We may yet expect new discoveries, the condition of man may be yet improved, but a small part of the human race have yet been enlightened. The footy fons of Africa, the superstitious Hindoo, the Persian, and the Turk, are yet in ignorance and slavery.
The friends of humanity, the real lovers of the human race ought now to come forth.
From a retrospective view of the progress of society, have we not grounds of assurance that the rays of truth will hereafter illumine the interior of Africa, the shores of the Baltic, and vast regions of Asia? Can we not anticipate the time when the standard of liberty and knowledge will be erected on the banks of the Nile, the Wolga, the Euphrates, and the Ganges, when the principles of government will be better understood, the science of morality more extensively known and practiced, and the condition of man made still more happy.
Let the superstitious enthusiast be confounded. Let the parsiite of despotism hide his head, but let the friend of virtue and of man view with complacency the present prospect, and rejoice in the glorious era now commencing.
JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM.
From a late London Paper.
Extracted from a letter written by a gentleman, late of Glasgow, to his father.
At ten o'clock, A. M. departed from the Grand Vizier's camp, near Jaffa, with a guard of six Turks, on a journey to Jerusalem. At half past ten passed through the small village of Yoad. About twelve arrived at Ramah, where we stopped and refreshed ourselves, and received an additional guard of six Arabs. Continued our journey till we arrived at an Arab village named Allobar, where we baited our horses. At three, P. M. passed the ruins of an old town, called Geba, formerly a town belonging to the Philistines. At four entered the passes that lead into the mountains. At nine arrived at a village called Filstene, where we baited, and about midnight reached the gates of Jerusalem, which were shut.
Jerusalem is situated on an exceeding high hill, like an amphitheatre, and is surrounded by mountains of very difficult access. It is encompassed with a high wall, having square towers, about 30 feet alunder, and is in circumference about three miles. Three o'clock A. M. had leave from the Pacha for the gates to be opened for our admission, when we were conducted to the Greek convent, and retired for rest.
About ten we waited on the Turkish governor, and received permission to visit the remarkable places mentioned in the scripture. There being an English interpreter, with an English translation of the Bible, he explained every particular place as we passed, and we particularly found that the description of the city, as mentioned in the book of Nehemiah, was very correct. We rode out of the city to Mount Zion, on which, further to the eastward, stands a handsome Turkish mosque, formerly a Christian convent, and which is built on the spot where Christ ate the passover with his disciples. From thence we descended into the valley of Jehoshaphat, at the entrance is the well where the sick and lame were healed by our Saviour. In the valley we passed through two large caves in the rock, in which, according to tradition, the concubines of King Solomon used to dwell. A little to the westward of the cave, is the sepulchre of Zecharias; and a few paces further is the spot on which the temple was built;
but no traces of the building at present exist, tho' they lie a vast heap of rubbish near the spot that was formerly part of the temple. Farther to the eastward is the sepulchre of Madona. From this place we ascend Mount Olives, at the foot of which Judas betrayed his master. At the top of the Mount is the church of Ascension. From the church we were shewn the place where the Apostles were sitting and walking (St. Luke, chap. 24, and St. John, chap. 10) when Christ appeared to them after his resurrection; and where they stood when they saw him ascend to Heaven. West of this city, about a mile, are two sepulchres where the Kings of Judah were buried, and in these are several apartments, about fourteen feet square. Thus ended the second day.
On the 3d day we went from Jerusalem to Bethlehem, passed by a convent at some distance to the westward, which is the spot where the angels appeared to the shepherds, close to which is the ground where the French encamped in their first crusade, when they invested Jerusalem. Soon after, we passed the tomb of Rachel, where Ramoth Gillead formerly stood, and which is about one mile north of Bethlehem. At Bethlehem we were conducted to a convent of the order of Franciscans, built on the spot where the wise men of the east assembled to make their offerings to our Saviour. In the chapel of the convent is the spot where Christ was born, and the place where the manger stood on which he was laid. After this we were shewn the grotto of Joseph, and many other sacred curiosities too numerous to mention.
There is a small sepulchre where the children that were slain by Herod are entombed; likewise the sepulchre and study of St. Jerome. From Bethlehem we went to the village of St. John, the birth-place of St. John the Baptist, where there is a convent and a very handsome church, erected on a very handsome spot where he was born, over which is this inscription Hic Praecursor Domini Natus Est .
Seven o'clock we returned to Jerusalem, went accompanied by one of the monks to see the church of the sepulchre, built by Helena, the mother of the emperor Constantine. In the church are four chapels belonging to the Latin, Greek, Armenian, and Coptic churches, all of which are handsomely ornamented, but the Armenian most particularly so. In the church is the sepulchre where our Saviour was buried, with a small dome over it, in which dome an immense number of lamps are constantly kept burning. We were then shewn the place where our Saviour was scourged, and the very identical pillar of stone to which he was bound, and the place where the cross was concealed, till discovered by Helena, and the hole in which the cross is said to have stood at the crucifixion. The inside of the church is handsomely inlaid with tortoise-shell and mother of pearl, and has a very noble appearance.
We left the church, and visited many other very remarkable places in and about Jerusalem, and particularly the house, from the roof of which David fell in love with Bathsheba, while bathing, which is now the residence of the Turkish Cadi.
The Turkish governor resides in a strong house; built on the spot where Pontius Pilate had a house. In the evening, after being regaled with coffee and a pipe, took leave of the governor, and at five o'clock in the morning departed with our guides from Jerusalem, and arrived at Jaffa in the evening, after a pleasant ride.
NEW-YORK, July 29.
Extract of a letter from an American of the first respectability in Paris, to his literary correspondent in this City.
"The most interesting business at present in the literary world, is the publication by Recandier, upon Egypt, it is a very superb work, of which with great difficulty I shall procure a copy, at 15 guineas subscription. An order has been passed for forming a national one, under the direction of the learned men which were in Egypt; this will be the grandest literary work in the world, but as it will be many years before it can be executed, the one in the press is in great request—the subscription is full.
The researches into that country have thrown the greatest light upon chronology, and seem to confirm the Indian calculation of the world's age, with which the ancients (Herodotus excepted) appear to have been ignorant. General Delleux, in reducing Upper Egypt, has discovered no less than six monuments containing zodiacs, which appear evidently to have formed the Egyptian calander; copies and models of which have been taken with great accuracy. They appear to have been erected fifteen thousand years before Christ, when the vernal equinox was in the balance, all the signs being figurative of the seasons in Egypt. Under the bull the land was ploughed for the spring Corn. Aquarius, crowned with Iotus, typified the inundations of the Nile. If this is taken for the summer solstice, all the signs will correspond with the seasons at that period; by this means too the age of the public buildings may be ascertained, because many of them contain their calander, which we may suppose to conform to the seasons when a building was erected, so as to serve as a monument of the time; of this it is asserted that the proofs are numerous and conclusive. By this mode of calculation some of them appear to have been founded six thousand years before Christ, which is more extraordinary, as the oldest of them have been built, in part, of the ruins of some that must of course have been many ages older, since
many of the stones used in their construction bear the half erased inscriptions of older times. Remember, however, I only give you the opinions of the learned here, upon facts that are not to be disputed: I mean to preserve all my respect for Moses, that I brought to this land of infidelity; and I shall sincerely grieve, if the philosophers of the 19th century prove him to be an ignorant of chronology, as his principal supporter on this ground did of astronomy, in the 18th century. And since Newton, in 18th century, while he detected his errors in astronomy, made up for it by confirming his chronology, I shall sincerely lament, if the philosophers of the 19th century shall show him to have been alike ignorant in both—though, by the bye, I do not think his knowledge of either of much importance to the confirmation of his doctrines.
From the MIRROR of the TIMES.
TO THE EDITOR.
In most of the papers, I believe an extract, said to be taken from a French paper, relating to the views of that nation, in settling Louisiana, has been published, and in many of them with a marked tendency to excite alarm in the minds of the people for our political safety, and a bugbear is mustered up of great strength, and encroaching ambition of the French, to induce the weak to suppose it is their intention at some future day, to swallow, and render us a province of the GREAT NATION.
While it is proper and necessary to be on our guard, both at home and abroad, it is weak to believe every ungrounded rumor, and disturb ourselves with apprehensions that never can be realized, as it is wicked to excite such apprehensions as tend to unfertile the minds of our citizens, and induce them to imbibe prejudices which may finally be injurious—Let those who are seriously disposed to make enquiry, and inform themselves on this subject, consider that there was a time when France was in possession of Canada, and almost all the country west of the Mississippi, and many places east of the Ohio—that most of the Indian nations were connected with them, yet notwithstanding the reinforcements they received from the mother country—notwithstanding the assistance of the Indian tribes—the weakness of the then colonies of Great Britain, and the small aid our fore-fathers obtained from the parent country, although the French were then as desirous as they can now be to bring this country under their dominion, what were they able to effect? Little or nothing. And shall we be alarmed at their settling on the Mississippi, when we know how difficult it will be to supply a colony at any considerable distance up the river? That for a great length of time, those new settlers must be unable to provide fully for themselves, and therefore will depend much upon the Western States?
From the strength of the Union at large, and of some of the states on the Western waters—the resources of the present government in men and arms, ammunition and money—the facility with which all things necessary may be transported down the river, and the difficulty which the French would have in sending troops up, either by land or water—the necessity which the new settlers would be under for a long time to cultivate the arts of peace, in order to acquire the necessaries of life—their ignorance of the country, and modes of warfare in a land covered with forest—the want of inducement to attack us, there being no rich nobles—or rich churches to plunder—and lastly, that the inducement to visit Mexico, on those, and many other accounts, are so much greater, than to attack the hardy inhabitants of the Western waters, for barren laurels—that I think we may safely rest for the present generation without disturbing our repose, by visionary fears, conjured up by certain persons, for political purposes only, and void of any real weight.
Let us suppose the French engaged in settling the territory of Louisiana, and that they can land on the shores of the Mississippi 20,000 persons per annum (a great emigration indeed, and such as is no way probable will take place) of these not more than 5,000 can be supposed fit to bear arms—and of those fit to bear arms, not one fourth could be spared for any distant expedition, while their families would be left behind to starve. But admit their soldiery to increase 5,000 per annum, how short would this be of the increase of the population of the Western states, especially, when we add to the natural progression the great number of foreigners who land on our shores and yearly settle beyond the Alleghany. Let us reflect also, that there was a time when the all-powerful kingdom of Great Britain attacked us—when our population was not half its present number—when we had no money but old rags, no arms or ammunition, or experience, and yet what was the result? It is known to the world.
And shall we now fear the attack of any foreign power, when we are in possession of every requisite for defence? No. And more especially shall we fear to be attack by a colony of an European nation 3,000 miles distant? For shame fellow citizens, it is pusillanimous—unworthy of the blood of your forefathers—unworthy their children. And let me caution you to beware of the arts of designing individuals, who harrow up your feelings by hideous tales of their own manufacture, in order to profit by their effects. There are men among us, whose interest it is to disturb our peace, that they may snatch a benefit by any occurrence favorable to their views. Be vigilant, but not timorous—be cautious, but not credulous, and your situation is happy.

The legislature of Massachusetts have voted seventy thousand dollars for the erection of a Penitentiary House, or state prison. The edifice is to be erected in Charlestown.
Letter to the editor, dated Cahokia, (Indiana Territory) 31st July, 1802.
"The Pottawatomie nation of Indians, who resort about the Illinois river, have so recently as the 16th inst. opened hostilities against our citizens, by killing two Americans about five leagues from our town. The chief murderers are Turkey-Foot, a notorious villain, and chief; and the Maimed Hand, another chief, with five other men. One of the men they killed is an old settler of this country, and the other a young man. They have now began and God knows where they will end. We have petitioned for troops, which we expect our president will grant, for it is obvious that had there been troops stationed at Paylla, at that time, they would not have had to have put foot on this side."

PARIS, June 10.
Citizen Otto, at present acting as French minister plenipotentiary in England, has been appointed minister plenipotentiary of the French republic near the United States of America.
LONDON, May 31.
Late accounts from Morocco state that that country is much agitated by civil war. The Nephew of the Emperor, has taken up arms against the government, and is at the head of a considerable force. As yet no particular account has been received respecting the operations of the contending parties.
NEW-YORK, July 29. FROM ST. DOMINGO.
The Schooner Determined Rover, arrived here yesterday in eleven days from Cape Francois. Captain Mather informs us that the blacks, though not able to make a stand against the French, were ravaging every spot, where by night they could burn and pillage without dread of opposition. Scarcely a night passed, that plantations, even in the vicinity of the Cape, were not destroyed, and the wretched owners sacrificed to the resentment of the perfecuted Africans. Numbers of the negroes were daily executed, the scenes of cold-blooded massacres which took place were never surpassed in that ill fated colony. The fever still raged among the troops---it is supposed 15,000 of them had fallen victims to it and in fighting the negroes. The Cape was fast rebuilding. Lumber bore a high price, provisions dull. Gen. Le Clerc had recovered from his illness.
August 4.
Extract of a letter from a commercial house of the first respectability in New-Orleans, to another in this city, dated July 20.
"The alarm that exists in the United States respecting this province being ceded to France, we have great hopes is groundless. Nothing but conjecture or report has prevailed on this point hitherto; and we doubt not the timely notice that will be given by the Spanish court to its officers here, will give us sufficient time to prepare, if necessary, for any emergency. 420,000 dollars in specie, are just arrived from Vera Cruz---This, we hope, will be a great advantage to commerce."
Extract of a letter from the same to the same, dated July 22.
"We have but one moment before the failing of the Eliza, to inform you that a courier had arrived here this morning with dispatches from Madrid, dated in March and April, via the Havanna. We have been at the government house to obtain information
that may be depended upon: and are happy to inform you that not one word is said in these dispatches respecting this province being ceded to France. At the Havanna accounts are received that may be depended upon, and to which the officers of government give full credit, which say, that France relinquishes her claim to this country for five millions of dollars, five ships of the line, and repairs for twenty ships. We congratulate you on this news, and sincerely hope it will be productive of mutual advantage."
Captain Hosier, who arrived at this port on Monday, in nine days from Cape Francois, informs us, that at the time he left, (24th July) all was quiet there. The fever prevailed among the troops with considerable mortality. A small reinforcement, sent from France, had arrived, and was ordered to Port Republic. Markets were pretty brisk, particularly lumber, which commanded a great price.
PHILADELPHIA, August 6.
HEALTH OFFICE.
August 5th, 1802.
The reports to this office present to the Board of Health a more alarming increase of the mortality of the prevailing fever, than has hitherto appeared during the present season. From the number of new subjects daily added to the list of sick; & the malignant issue of many of them, there is ample cause to believe, that the present CONTAGIOUS DISEASE is marked with characters of as malignant nature as any which has hitherto affected this city.
In consequence of an impression of this nature, the Board of Health is impelled by motives of duty, and regard to their fellow citizens, to warn them of the approaching danger, and to intreat those whose health will permit, immediately to withdraw from the city and districts; by which means we hope to be instrumental, under Providence, in preserving to the community the lives of many useful and valuable citizens.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The suffrages of the French people respecting Bonaparte, were daily coming in, and nothing appeared to indicate a want of unanimity. We see however, numerous accounts of conspiracies, and rumors of conspiracies against Bonaparte, and of the defection of his generals, guards, &c. but they trust their hour, and are heard of no more. The emigrants were returning to France in great numbers.
Commercial arrangements between Great Britain and France were on the tapis.
Gen. Berthier is said to have fallen in a duel with Gen. Lecourbe.
A great scarcity of specie prevails throughout Holland.
In Egypt the Turks have vigorously commenced hostilities against the revolted Bays.
WE the subscribers, Salt-makers at Mann's Lick, having been informed that a report was in circulation and believed, that it was our intention to exact any price for salt this fall, which the scarcity would enable us to command, did in the month of June, request and authorise John Speed, to contradict said report, by causing it to be known that our price should be 12s. per bushel and no more---We take this method of making our determination more public, that we will not ask more than the above price.

VERSES ON JOHN IV. 10.
At Jacob's well the stranger sought His ardent thirst to clear; Samaria's daughter little thought The FOUNT OF LIFE so near.
This had she known; her panting mind For LIVING DRAUGHTS had sigh'd; Nor had Messiah ever kind, Those living draughts deny'd.
At Jacob's well, (no glass more true) Our country's image shews; Messiah travels through and through But who the stranger knows?
Columbia must the stranger know, Or soon her loss deplore; Behold the living waters flow, Come drink and thirst no more!
ANECDOLE.
Not long since an artful rogue went into a house in Philadelphia, and proceeded directly up into a chamber where was an elegant bed and furniture, which he rolled up in a sheet, threw it across his shoulder and descended the stairs backward: just as he got upon the lower floor, the owner of the house entered, the fellow immediately matched forward as though he was going with his bundle into the house. The gentleman accosted him with "what have you there friend?" "The bed sir, which you purchased at auction," answered the thief. "You must be mistaken," answered the gentleman, "for I have purchased no bed at auction." With pretended surprise, the villain stepped to the door, and looking at the house observed he "had mistaken the street;" begged the gentleman's pardon, and escaped undiscovered, with his booty.
