Miscellany.
From the BALANCE.
THE world is a stage, and life is a drama. Successive generations are acting over the same parts, which had been frequently acted before. In every age, the crafty find means to dupe the simple, and entangle them in their nets, as the villainous spider catches flies. In every age, a variety of tragi-comic scenes have been exhibited on this great stage, by knaves disguised in vipers , and bearing on their front a label, upon which are written in capitals, the words, Honesty, Benevolence, Patriotism ; while the multitude, never attempting to look under the mask, are seen stupidly staring at the label—reading the inscription, with the gape of wonder, and uttering their applauding shouts in extasies of joy and veneration. Theories concerning man, which are spun from the rickety brain of philosophers, represent him as a being totally different from what he really is; they are like an ignis fatuus , or jack-o'-lantern, and glimmer but to bewilder and mislead. But real history delineates with precision the character of the wonderful creature man. The history of real life develops human nature, and is, as it were, the anatomy of the human heart.—When it is seen how mankind have uniformly acted, it may be pretty certainly concluded how they will act in the same or in similar circumstances.
Human nature is the same sort of stuff now, that it was two or five thousand years ago. Selfishness is the most distinguished thread that runs thro' both the warp and the woof of its texture. The cunning and aspiring know how to promote their own selfish views, by insisting in their cause the selfish feelings of the multitude.—By ardent appeals to passion and to avarice, those strings of the human heart are struck, which never fail to vibrate, even at the slightest touch. Though this trick, by its frequency, had become stale, perhaps, long before the flood, it still succeeds, with only a little variation in its varnish and management.
Men, like fishes, provided the hook is concealed, greedily swallow the bait; and as fishes, without learning caution from the fate of others, in whose gills the fatal hook has been in-fixed, are still caught with the same ease as formerly; so the heedless children of men profit but little from the history and experience of former generations; ignorance that the same arts of deception, which have succeeded in one age, may be practised in the age ensuing, with equal success.
Not to satyrize his own species and malign human nature;—not to discourage real patriotism ;—not to reproach republican forms of government;—not to deny or to despise the rights and the liberties of the people,—has Historicus offered remarks and depicted facts in this and in the preceding numbers.—He is himself one of the people; and is raised above them, neither in circumstances, by office, nor in expectations.—Having never experienced the frowns or the favors of men now in office, or of those who have gone out of office, he has no personal resentments or attachments to gratify. A Republican of '76, and a warm friend to the adoption of the Federal Constitution, his political creed is still the same.—His situation in life does by no means suffer him to favor Aristocratical ideas; because, for him to wish for the establishment of an Aristocracy, in the honors and emoluments of which he himself could not have even the most distant prospect of any share, would be wishing to bind a heavy yoke upon his own neck and upon the neck of his children. On the other hand, it is the most sincere and fervent wish of his heart, that our free Constitution of Federal Republican Government may be permanent and secure the rights of ages yet unborn.
To open the eyes of the people to their real dangers;—to point out to them the snares and the traps, which, from time to time, will be laid for their feet,—the precipes and the pits down which they will be liable to fall—to guard them against the alluring voice of flattery, which the crafty and unprincipled in every age have used as a ladder, to climb upon the people's shoulders;—to strip the sham-patriot
of his imposing vifor, and to expose him to view, as he really is, a compound of villainous selfishness and ambition,—are the objects, which Historicus has in view; and to promote such objects, his hand, which has often been laboriously employed in tilling the ground, is now occasionally employed in writing these essays.
It is most devoutly to be wished, that these United States may not be added to the long list of Republican Governments, which have been subverted by the intrigues of selfishness and ambition—that no worm at the root nor devouring insect at the top of the fair tree of our national liberty and independence may cause its beauty to fade and its branches to wither!
No nation has been called to act a more important part in the grand drama, than ours. As a people, we have been evidently and in an eminent degree under the fostering care of Heaven. While reviewing the scenes preparatory and subsequent to our national independence, we cannot but recognize the Divine Hand:—we behold, as it were, the "Pillar of the Cloud," that conducted us through the tremendous dangers of our Revolution. To the people of our nation has been given the peculiar privilege of meeting together by their delegates, and, in peace and with cool deliberation, forming a constitution of government for themselves. This government is now in a course of experiment. Hitherto, under its administration, the nation has enjoyed unexampled prosperity. A wide spreading ocean has happily separated us from the other parts of the world, and has removed us, as well from the contamination of their example as from the grasp of their power.
A fair trial, in this western world, there has been and is opportunity of making, whether mankind have wisdom and virtue enough to maintain a free government. If the trial finally ultimately succeeds in favor of the rights of human nature, the happy effects may be experienced by countless millions yet unborn.—If, on the other hand, it should fail;—if, through the vile arts of ambitious men and the short-sighted selfishness of the people, our free government, (like others in former ages) should be soon subverted, and the privileges of the nation swallowed up in the horrible vortex of despotism, the awful event would greatly tend to establish this position, That Republican principles, however pleasing in theory, are totally impracticable. Despotism, in this case, might spread her talons over each continent and infix her talons in every nation. And then there would be heard the voice of the Angel, that was seen in the vision of the Apocalypse, "flying in the midst of heaven, and crying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth."
HISTORICUS.
From the Charleston City Gazette.
Messrs. M c Iver & Williams,
I beg the favor, for the good of my fellow-citizens, that you will be so kind as to insert in your paper the following infallible receipt for the Bloody Flux, or dysentery. I have been acquainted with it nearly 40 years, and never knew it to fail. I have cured all that ever had it on my plantation, and myself several times. Not forty days past, I was afflicted with the dysentery, and cured myself with the receipt underwritten. About 30 years ago I cured two persons in Charleston, who had been under the care of three physicians, and it had baffled their art and skill; yet this receipt cured them in a few days. The public may rely on the efficacy and infallibility of the receipt, viz.
"As soon as you find the flux is bad, if possible before it comes to the dysentery, drink three or four tea cupsful of melted mutton suet daily, say a cupful every 3 or 4 hours; let the food be the flour of well parched Indian corn, made into a pap with new milk, and sweetened with loaf sugar; and let the drink be nothing else but a strong tea, made with chipped logwood or red oak bark, and sweetened with loaf sugar, tho' it will do without sweetening.—When you find it is checked, make the tea weaker; should it stop too sudden, take a little salts or senna. With the above simples I could cure thousands, without the loss of any."
The cure will be perfected in 5, 6, or 7 days. Exercise, if possible, is good.
Hoping the Public will take care of this receipt, I remain their most obedient. A PLANTER.

LATEST Foreign Intelligence,
From English papers to November 2, brought by Capt. Davis, passenger in the Harriot, arrived at Boston.
GENOA, SEPT. 24.
THE CONSTITUTION , transmitted from Paris, is not yet approved. It requires the possession of too great property to make a person eligible to office—which betrays a desire to confine the offices to a few families.
The French have insisted on taking possession at present of the fortifications at Naples to prevent new revolts in that city.
HAGUE, OCT. 6.
THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
The acceptance of the new Constitution has been proclaimed by the Directory.—416,419 votes were returned, of which only 52,219 were for rejecting it. The new Government will be immediately organized, and the Directory be succeeded by the Council of State. The twelve members of which are appointed—They include the three Directors, Haerotte, Pymann, and Bezur; the Representatives, Van Lean, Hoogstrate and Lewe, and three persons who were members of the late Stadtholderian Government.
PARIS, OCT. 20.
The frontier fortifications are ordered to be placed on the peace establishment. [Official.]
Addresses continue to pour in on the First Consul on account of the conclusion of peace. Those from L'Orient and Bourdeaux, as well as many others, earnestly exhort, that Commerce may receive every encouragement in the power of the Government to bestow. The envied greatness of Britain, is pointed at, and attributed to the attention commerce has there received.
THE CONGRESS.
Great preparations are making at Amiens for the reception and entertainment of the diplomatic characters who are to attend the Congress. A large body of troops will be there. A line of telegraphs is to be erected from thence to Paris. The British Minister will be escorted through France by troops of cavalry, and will receive the most distinguished attention. It is supposed the Congress will form in less than a month. It is said it will be attended by Plenipos. from Holland, Spain, Russia, and the Ottoman Porte. Mr. Schimmelpenninck, is appointed on the part of Holland.
OCT. 24.
Rear Admiral Latouche Treville set out on the 21st for Rochfort, accompanied by Citizen Jerome Bonaparte.
Government has ordered that the "Theophilanthropic Societies," shall no longer hold their meetings in the national edifices. [Official.]
LONDON, OCT. 26.
French Funds. —At Paris, the Tiers Consolidé are as high as 62.
Prussia, is said to be dissatisfied with the treaty between France and England. The expected fate of Hanover to be decided by it; and talks of protesting against the Batavian Republic's being put in possession of the Dutch Islands in the Indies.
Prince Anthony has been chosen to the Electorate of Cologne.
ST. DOMINGO.
It appears evident that the French Government, as we stated some time ago, is about to adopt vigorous measures to establish the dependance of St. Domingo, on a sure footing.—Ad. Latouche Treville and a General of reputation are immediately to be sent out with a number of troops and a strong naval force to St. Domingo. It is believed, that Gen. Rochambeau will be employed, as he knows the West-Indies well. Benezch, Counsellor of State, is mentioned as likely to attend the expedition as Civil Commissary, or Negotiator, on the part of the Government. This armament will receive every facility from this country. It is probable, however, that the authority and influence of Toussaint will be employed by the mother country to aid in preserving order and a vigorous administration in the island.
OCT. 31.
The Stadtholder has taken leave of the King, being about to depart for the Continent. His interest requires his presence there.
The Marquis Cornwallis has taken leave of His Majesty, and will proceed southward to Amiens.
British Funds. —Three per Cent. Consols are at 68.
HOUSE OF LORDS. OCTOBER 29.
KING'S SPEECH.
THIS being the day appointed for the meeting of the Session, his
Majesty went to the House of Lords, and the Commons were summoned to the Bar, when his Majesty delivered the following most gracious speech:
My Lords and Gentlemen,
I have the satisfaction to acquaint you, that the important Negotiations in which I was engaged at the close of the last Session of Parliament, are brought to a favourable conclusion. The differences with the Northern Powers have been adjusted by a Convention with the Emperor of Russia, to which the Kings of Denmark and Sweden have expressed their readiness to accede. The essential rights for which we contended are thereby secured, and provision is made, that the exercise of them shall be attended with as little molestation as possible to the subjects of the Contracting Parties.
Preliminaries of Peace have also been ratified between me and the French Republic; and I trust that this important arrangement, whilst it manifests the justice and moderation of my views, will also be found conducive to the substantial interests of this country, and honourable to the British character.
Copies of these papers shall forthwith be laid before you, and I earnestly hope that the transactions to which they refer, will meet with the approbation of my Parliament.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
I have directed such estimates to be prepared for the various demands of the public service, as appear to me to be best adapted to the situation in which we are now placed. It is painful to me to reflect, that provision cannot be made for defraying the expenses which must unavoidably be continued for a time in different parts of the world, and for maintaining an adequate peace establishment without large additional supplies. You may, however, be assured, that all possible attention shall be paid to such economical arrangements as may not be inconsistent with the great object of effectually, providing for the security of all my dominions.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
I cannot sufficiently describe the gratification and comforts I derive from the relief which the bounty of divine Providence has afforded to my people, by the abundant produce of the late harvest. In contemplating the situation of the country at this important conjuncture, it is impossible for me to refrain from expressing the deep sense I entertain of the temper and fortitude which have been manifested by all descriptions of my faithful subjects, under the various and complicated difficulties with which they have had to contend.
The distinguished valour and eminent services of my forces by sea and land, which at no period have been surpassed; the unprecedented exertions of the Militia and Fencibles, and the zeal and perseverance of the Yeomanry and Volunteer Corps of Cavalry and Infantry, are entitled to my warmest acknowledgments:—And I am persuaded that you will join with me in reflecting with peculiar satisfaction on the naval and military operations of the last campaign, and on the successful and glorious issue of the expedition to Egypt, which has been marked throughout by achievements tending in their consequences, and by their example, to produce lasting advantages and honour to this country. It is my first wish and most fervent prayer, that my people may experience the reward they have so well merited, in a full enjoyment of the blessings of Peace, in a progressive increase of the national commerce, credit, and resources, and above all, in the undisturbed possession of their religion, laws, and liberties, under the safeguard and protection of that Constitution, which it has been the great object of all our efforts to preserve, and which it is our most sacred duty to transmit unimpaired to our descendants.
The motion for the Address in answer to the Speech was made by Lord Bolton and seconded by Lord Lilford. The address passed nem con. Several votes of thanks to distinguished officers, &c. were proposed. In the House of Commons the motion for the Answer was made by Lord Lovaine, and seconded by Mr. Woodhouse. In the debate which followed, Mr. Windham deprecated the peace in the most pathetic terms. He "believed the moment his Hon. Friends signed the Treaty, they signed the death warrant of their country; or at least they have given it a blow, from which, I think, it can never recover!" The Address passed nem con. Tuesday, Nov. 3, was assigned for taking into consideration the Preliminaries of Peace.
POPULARITY.
Of Bonaparte, it is said, that he holds the nation, as it were, in intellectual bondage.—The applause which accompanies his person, is not the affectionate homage of esteem, resulting from a perception and consciousness of his virtues. It is an involuntary
burst of feeling excited by the grandeur of his character, and the unaccountable success of his measures. Amidst the caresses and encomiums which are conferred upon him, it is not uncommon to hear among the populace "He is a Corsican," uttered with other meanings than the words themselves convey. He lives in the words themselves convey. He lives in the most splendid and princely style; a circumstance which it is supposed, excites an envy and jealousy very hostile to the duration of his dominion.
It is somewhat singular, that while the French nation imagine they have abolished royalty, a species of regal authority, more pernicious than that which preceded it, is tolerated, nay even applauded. Although Bonaparte is not of "the line of kings," and does not wear a crown, yet is he invested with every prerogative of a monarch.
It is credibly stated, that by a secret understanding between Buonaparte and the Court of Spain, the latter has stipulated to pay four millions of livres annually for the support of the descendants of the late royal family of France. It is hinted that the Emperor of Russia made this demand of Bonaparte; but the latter, sensible of the repugnance of the French people, or from motives of policy, effected the measure in the above manner.
It is believed, that notwithstanding the restoration of peace, there exist in France many obstacles to the return of commerce and manufactures. Of these the most formidable is, the precariousness of the government. This, it is supposed, will deter men of capital from risking their fortunes in a country hourly exposed to the convulsions of political earthquakes.
Tom Paine, at the date of our last accounts, remained in Paris. Persons who have conversed with him, assure us, that he means to curse this country with his presence. He is engaged in writing the 3d part of the "Age of Reason."
Domestic News.
CHARLESTON, Dec. 11.
THE amendments to the Federal Constitution proposed by the Legislature of Maryland, have been rejected by the Legislature of this State.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.
FRENCH TREATY.
WE learn from a correspondent at Washington, that the Senate, with closed doors, have ratified the Convention with France; containing an additional clause, inserted by the First Consul, stating that it is understood between the parties, that no reference is hereafter to be had to any former treaties, and NO INDEMNIFICATIONS TO BE HAD, OR CLAIMED, BY EITHER PARTY! This is the sponge applied to the claims for Thirty Millions of dollars.
A letter from Bourdeaux, received at New-York, says, "We understand M. Otto is to go out Ambassador to America."
BOSTON, December, 30.
FROM WASHINGTON—DEC. 18. "In the Supreme Court of the United States, Mr. Lee moved for a rule of Court, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue to the Secretary of State, commanding him to give the commissions of justice of the peace to William Marbury, and three others, which had been deposited in his office, by order of the late President of the United States, for the purpose of being recorded and forwarded to them. The act respecting the District of Columbia directs that a number of Justices should be appointed by the President, with consent of the Senate. Mr. Adams nominated those gentlemen Justices, and the Senate concurred therein; Commissions were made out for them, signed, and sent to the office of the Secretary of State to be recorded and forwarded; but from the press of business could not be attended to until the new administration, commenced; by which they have been detained. The Attorney-General of the United States, said, that at this time, the Secretary does not think proper to take any steps; but leaves the subject to the consideration of the Court."
"The Court has granted the rule; which is made returnable on the fourth day of the next term."
"Mr. Gallatin in a day or two, will open the budget;—He has a scheme toward paying off the whole national debt; by a plan of finance to serve for thirty years."
Don Valentin de Foronda, has been appointed Consul-General to the United States, by the Spanish Court. He was to embark from Bayonne about the first November, for Boston.
EFFECTS OF PEACE IN EUROPE.
The Aurora, of the 19th inst. says,
"The immediate consequences of the peace in Europe, so far as relates to this city, are of a stupendous nature. It is calculated, that the stoppages already made amount to FIFTEEN-HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS."
This is but the precursor of failures in every part of the continent and yet the canting hypocrites of the Chronicle call on the people of the United States to give thanks for peace in Europe! When will the eyes of the democrats be opened to see the folly, ignorance and infamy of their blind guides?
His Excellency James Munroe, is re-elected Governor of Virginia.
The Mississippi Territory of the United States, contains 8850 persons. The town of Natchez, (the capital) 650 persons.—In the district of Natchez, there were 600,000 dollars worth Cotton, exported in 1800.
IT is not generally known, that not one dollar of the Land Tax has been paid, or even assessed upon our southern brethren; while every Farmer and industrious Mechanic in New-England has paid the uttermost farthing. When Lyon and others, are petitioning to have their fines repaid them, and also damages for illegal confinement under the Sedition Act, would it not be well for the yeomanry of New-England to petition to have their land tax repaid. The claim is infinitely more just, and vastly more honorable.
IF the excises and internal taxes are removed, as Virginia, and her sister states never mean to pay the land tax, they will scarcely contribute any thing to the support of government but talents.—By these talents and numbers they will rule New-England, who will, as she has always done, pay the fiddler while her sisters dance.
Extract of a letter from a mercantile house in London, to a correspondent in Norfolk, dated Oct. 18.
"Many heretofore respectable commercial houses have failed, since the peace, and many others are tottering. Numbers of articles have fallen, and a great many have received a considerable rise; among the latter some articles of hardware, and particularly all kinds of paper, which before was very high, is now risen at least 25 per cent. so that there is no possibility of exporting a sheet for a length of time. In France, likewise, it has met with a sudden advance."
In the late negotiations at Berlin, a demand was made on the Batavian Republic, on the part of the House of Orange, of 22 millions of florins.
National Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, DEC. 15.
THE motion of Gen. Smith, on the subject of the repeal of the discriminating duties between foreign and American vessels, was taken up. [This motion was given at length in the last GAZETTE.]
Mr. Griswold wished to know the grounds on which the motion was made. The laws imposing discriminating duties had long existed, with great and good effect to our commercial interests. He wished to know what effects would flow from a revocation of those restrictions, and whether the proposed measure would not operate to the prejudice of the United States. In its effects the Eastern States would be particularly interested, and the more especially at this period, when from the consequences likely to ensue from peace, our ships may be thrown out of employment.
Mr. S. Smith assured the gentleman from Connecticut that if the measure he proposed had, in his opinion, the least tendency to injure the commerce of the country, he should not have advocated it, as well from a regard to the deep stake he himself held, as from a regard to the interests of his constituents. The system of discriminating duties was a wise one in the early existence of the government; our own shipping was then unequal to the carrying of our produce. The discrimination operated as a charm in producing a rapid extension of shipping beyond the most sanguine expectation.
Our trade remained in this situation, until the formation of the British treaty. By that instrument Great-Britain was permitted to lay countervailing duties, and these had been so imposed, as in time of peace, to destroy the advantages attached to our shipping over theirs. The effects of this regulation were not immediately felt by us. England was at war, and her freights were charged with war insurance, while ours were exempt from such charges. Under these circumstances English bottoms could not enter into competition with American, as the war insurances of the former, exceeded the inconveniences imposed on the latter.
But peace being now restored, British ships will have such an advantage over our ships, that no man will ship tobacco, rice, or any other bulky articles in American bottoms.
The effect of the countervailing duties of England would be that an American ship carrying tobacco to England would pay 18 shillings sterling more on the hogshead than a British ship. The usual freight of a hogshead was 35 shillings. The difference therefore constituted more than one half.
Our situation was still worse in relation to France. Of the restrictive acts of the government he could not give a precise
idea; but he was enabled to state, from a conversation with a gentleman from that country high in office, that so decided a preference was given to her own over foreign bottoms, that a duty of 10 livres upon every hundred weight of tobacco was laid on the latter, which was equivalent to 120 livres on a hogshead. He further understood that 6 per cent. difference was imposed upon all other articles.—Peace being now restored, French vessels will enter our ports, and become the carriers to France of all our productions.
How were these effects, so alarming to our trade, to be met? He replied that it was by taking off our discriminating duties; and by placing our merchants on equal terms with the merchants of other nations.
And, Sir, said Mr. Smith, have we not entered, have we not capital to hold an honorable, a successful competition with the whole world? No man that knows the character of an American merchant will doubt his ability to sustain such a competition. The discriminating duties once useful, have ceased to be so. Our shipping has increased, and we now want more to enter into the ports of other nations, than that other nations should enter into ours. We are willing to free trade with its trammels. Let the trade be taken by those who can carry the cheapest. As a merchant he was convinced that we could carry cheaper than any other nation. Our materials for ship-building were at hand, were cheaper, and we could navigate our ships with fewer seamen than any other nation.
The evils required that we should take efficient measures; Unless such measures be taken our commercial rivals will seize the sweets offered by the present opportunity. It was true in two years that the British treaty would expire.—But he understood that the British ministry demurred to the construction which considered that part of the treaty under which countervailing duties were imposed as expiring at that time.
Mr. Griswold declared himself not satisfied with the explanation made by the gentleman from Maryland. It was certainly desirable to secure the carrying of our bulky articles in our own ships; and if the resolution would have this effect he should be decided for it. But he could not discern such to be the effect. With regard to England, it was true that tobacco was there charged with a heavy duty; but it was well known that England consumed but a small portion of what was sent there; the rest was exported; and a drawback of all duties allowed. As to the great mass of this article, therefore, it was not charged any more than it would have been charged, had it been directly exported to other countries.
For his part, he firmly believed, that our carrying trade would be essentially injured by allowing a free trade, whereby the English ships would enter our ports upon the same terms with our own ships.
It is well known, that before the war, the tobacco imported into France had been farmed out by the government, and that it had been a great source of revenue. He was persuaded that France would not permit that article to be free.
From these and other considerations, Mr. Griswold declared himself unprepared to decide upon a question of so great importance. He was not prepared to say what would be the effects of the principle offered to the house, particularly as the resolution does not say, in the event contemplated, who shall decide, whether the President, or Congress.
Mr. S. Smith agreed with the gentleman from Connecticut, that the great bulk of our exports required an uncommonly large tonnage. But this was an argument why we should secure this important object even if we lost the carriage of the imports of other nations.
The gentleman had referred to the mass of shipping in the eastern states; but he would inform the house that the middle states were competent to carrying their own produce. The gentleman was mistaken in one of his deductions, viz. that which respected our merchants deriving no inconveniences from English duties, as to the quantity of tobacco exported from England on which a drawback was allowed: He affirmed the injury to be great. For he would ask what merchant would like to export to England under the uncertainty of his exporting his produce again to other countries.
The gentleman was also mistaken in his allusion to the farmers-general of France. They did not monopolize that article. Every man had a right to go there with tobacco. They were only the vendors of it. The gentleman was therefore further mistaken, when he said our merchants could not compare with French merchants.
Mr. Smith was anxious, that the earliest attention of Congress should be paid to this important subject. France had not at present vessels to carry our produce; availing ourselves of the situation in which she was at present placed, we might by this proposition gain her assent to the principles of a free trade, whereby a large share of our carrying trade would be preferred which otherwise might be lost: Unless the opportunity that now offered was immediately seized, it might never return.
Mr. Giles said he felt no very lively interest on the subject in debate. The southern states would send their produce to market in the ships which could afford to take it on the best terms. He thought the gentleman from Connecticut, (Mr. G.) had mistaken the effect which the discriminating duty would in future have. The impost in Britain being higher than in the United States, their countervailing duties, which had, he believed, already exceeded the treaty allowance, would give her most of the carrying trade of this country. This being an important subject could not be too maturely considered, yet there was a point of time, within which only, we can avail ourselves of any advantage now offered. If something is not soon done, the high price given for vessels in France, will deprive us of many of our ships.—We should endeavour to put ourselves upon terms of equality.
NOTE.
* It may here pertinently be asked, suppose Great-Britain and France will not abolish their discriminating duties? What then is to be done? Are the United States to wage commercial warfare with all Europe?

ity with Europe, while it was in our power. He did not profess to be acquainted with the subject in detail; these were the general impressions made on his mind from a cursory view of the subject.
Mr. Griswold in reply, observed, that he was desirous to give every advantage to our own tonnage. British vessels cannot bring British goods into this country while the present laws exist; because a cargo of them is valuable, and the discriminating duties will be very considerable. The consequence is, they must come to this country in ballast. The additional tonnage duty will prevent their carrying to market our bulky articles, for the freight which American vessels will be able to afford it for. We now possess advantages, and he wished to retain them. Mr. G. had no doubt, the British would readily come into the measure.
Mr. Randolph, rose, he said, with reluctance; but when gentlemen of ability and experience differed so widely as to facts, he thought some time should be allowed for consideration. He therefore moved that the committee rise. Agreed to.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 16.
A communication from the Secretary of State, relative to the relief of American seamen. Ordered to be printed.
Several subjects were introduced, which will be noticed in their mature stages.
NEW CENSUS.
The subject of apportioning the Representatives agreeably to the census lately taken, was discussed. Several numbers were proposed as the ratio of one member, 30,000, 31,000 and 40,000. 33,000 was the number in the resolution before the Committee of the Whole.
Mr. Griswold was in favor of 40,000; in order that the house might not be increased to an unwieldy and cumbersome size. At the ratio of one for every 33,000 there would be upwards of 150 members. He thought the House sufficiently numerous already to answer every valuable purpose; — the expense would be increased, and the business delayed.
Mr. Giles was in favor of 33,000. — He did not consider the expense a sufficient reason for increasing the ratio and diminishing the number. The expense, he said, was a mere trifle. We are told, said Mr. G., that the house is sufficiently numerous to answer every valuable purpose of legislation; but let gentlemen look to the different State Legislatures. Virginia had 184 members in her house; yet we do not perceive that body more cumbersome or idiosyncratic than if its members were reduced one half. The expansion of the fear of disorder, is a mere imaginary thing; and as to the expense it is too inconsiderable to claim any serious attention.
Mr. Bayard coincided in opinion with Mr. Giles.
A motion for recommencement of the resolution being negatived;
Dr. Eustis observed, that, to satisfy the community at large, to prevent an innumbrance, and to make the representation as fair as possible, he was convinced that 33,000 was the most eligible number. The motion to strike 33,000 being negatived, a committee was appointed to bring in a bill, agreeably to that ratio.
After dispatching local, and private business, the House adjourned.
THURSDAY, DEC. 17.
A letter of the Secretary of the Treasury, including a return of the imports into the United States, from Oct. 1, 1798, to Oct. 1, 1799, was received.
SINKING FUND.
A letter from the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, was received. It inclosed a statement of the Stock redeemed, amounting to 14,738 36 3/4 dollars 83 cents, and that there remained, on the 18th December last, in the hands of the Treasurer, 439,069 dollars, 31 cents; subject to the disposition of the commissioners of the Sinking Fund, which, with the growing resources of that fund, would be equal to meeting the 7th installment of 6 per cent. the 1st installment of deferred stock, and the 10th of a loan becoming due.
NEW CENSUS.
A bill was reported, apportioning the representation of the several States, as follows:
  New-Hampshire, 5 Delaware, 1   Massachusetts, 17 Maryland, 8   Vermont, 4 Virginia, 22   Rhode-Island, 2 North-Carolina, 12   Connecticut, 7 South-Carolina, 8   New-York, 18 Georgia, 4   New-Jersey, 6 Kentucky, 6   Pennsylvania, 18 Tennessee, 3 
141
After a short conversation on this bill, it was postponed until Saturday.
FRIDAY, DEC. 18.
Mr. Nicholson, reported a bill, respecting fugitives from justice, and persons escaping from their masters, which was twice read, and committed for Monday next.
Mr. Randolph, as the chairman of a committee, reported, that it was expedient to appoint a printer to the house, in order that the printing might be expedited with more facility, and some responsibility attached to its execution. After some debate, the question was taken, and lost, there appearing but about twenty in favour of the motion.
The house then went into a committee of the whole on the subject of the apportionment of representatives: Mr. Nicholson in the chair.
Mr. Macon was for thirty, instead of thirty three thousand. He knew the various arguments that had been brought forward by different gentlemen, with regard to the expense, the fear of disorder or of being cumbersome; he thought such arguments of little weight, and considered the advantages arising from a personal acquaintance between the electors and elected, and the probability of a more fair and complete representation of the feelings and opinions of the people, as far overbalancing any supposed disadvantages. He was sensible that it was impossible that there should be a complete personal acquaintance between the representatives and the people; in his own state (N. C.) this was far from being the case; in many of the new States personal knowledge would be less common, and the people, of course, obliged to rely on the report and character given by others; yet he wished to do all that could be done, to
promote this. He stated that if the ratio were fixed at 30,000 for each representative, the house at farthest, would not be composed of more than 160 members; he knew that many of the state legislatures had that number, or more, and were not sensible of any disadvantage arising from the number. He thought every state ought to have two representatives; a large fraction in the state of Virginia were of little importance, but in the state of Delaware, Rhode-Island, &c. it was of high consideration. Think of the great disproportion; Virginia will be almost wholly represented, Delaware little more than half.
Mr. Giles. He hoped the motion for 30,000 would prevail. In Virginia it was a matter of but little consequence whether 33,000 or 30,000; yet he believed the essential principle of legislation required thirty thousand. He knew that there could not be a complete personal knowledge between the electors and elected, yet the nearer we could come to this the better. He once thought Delaware had no right to two members in the Senate, he now thought differently. "There is a kind of sentiment in the human mind that will extend itself beyond state boundaries." Mr. G. said that this house was the basis of public confidence—that it ought therefore to be made as complete a representation of the public body as possible.
Mr. Van Nels. He was for 33,000. It would be an inconvenience to Delaware, but such as could not be remedied; ample amends are made in the senators from that state; there they had at least their proportional power in checking bills, &c. and thus have their full share of representation in the government—We should look at the constitution: at the time of its adoption it was supposed that 30,000 was a proper number, but it was certainly expected the ratio would be increased, to diminish the proportionate representation—he feared much disagreement, whatever number might be finally fixed.
Mr. Smilie. He said he should be contented with 33,000, if he could not have 30,000; but he considered that the safety of the people lay in a large representation. He thought the duty of the house to prepare as much weight as possible. He said there were powers given to another branch of the government, dangerous to the necessary equilibrium: that that branch possessed an undue weight: he wished this house to be put on a footing to be able to oppose any encroachments made by that branch: that branch he stated, possessed great legislative power; they possessed an absolute control over all the appointments; and, what was of more, and dangerous consequence, they had a treaty making power; and if the extent of their power was so great, this house ought to be prepared to oppose them.
[Will any one conjecture after reading these open declarations, that this Mr. Smilie is friendly to the constitution of the United States? How is an increased number of representatives to control the constitutional authority of the Senate?—The Democrats in the house did not thank Mr. Smilie for this bold, but unseasonable development of their plans. They know this doctrine must be brought about by degrees. It is the great doctrine of Democracy, it has been the labor of the democrats these many years: to vest all power and all government, in one large body. Here they are without check, here they have no personal responsibility—Let the American people look at this dangerous sentiment; let them look at this daring, yet unripe promulgation of such a sentiment. Will they, can they, believe this man friendly to the constitution, a constitution which however he has sworn to support, when he thus impudently assaults the three great and almost only powers of the Senate? Is it not directly saying, that the Senate ought to be destroyed? This is, this man's, and we believe every democrat's sentiment; his friends were not sorry that he possessed it, but regretted that he should thus immaturely expose it.—If declarations and circumstances ever can substantiate any fact, or amount to proof, it is already a fact, proved that there is a fixed determination to destroy the constitution; but this will not be believed by the American people in general, till the constitution shall be publicly burnt by order of the then legislative, executive, and judicial government, the house of representatives.]
[Wash. Fed. Mr. Morris (N. Y.) He was not pleased with the observations of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Smilie) he thought that house had certain constitutional duties to perform but he had no idea of increasing the number of that house, to oppose the constitutional duties of the other branch. Mr. M. was in favor of 30,000. If thirty three thousand should be adopted it would be more particularly injurious to Delaware—it would leave a fraction of 30 thousand in Vermont.
The debate on this subject was continued for some time; but no decision took place, in consequence of the incompleteness of the returns, and the discovery of some errors in those that had been; while conversing on this circumstance, Mr. Van Nels informed the house, that the return from Tennessee was received at the office of State, and that it made the population of that state amount to 92,000.
After some further observations, it was agreed that the committee rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit again which was granted.

From WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.
"I send you a copy of the Convention with France; which is at length completed. You will see by the addition annexed by BONAPARTE to his ratification, that the hopes of the American merchants of restitution for spoiled property are annihilated. What are we now to think of that part of the President's message, wherein, speaking of the European powers, he says, that the recent peace, "strengthens the hope, that wrongs committed on unoffending friends, under a pressure of circumstances, will now be reviewed with candour; and will be considered as founded just claims of RETRIBUTION FOR THE PAST, and new assurances for the future?"—But I forbear comment.
"The business of Congress does not as yet assume an interesting aspect."
Extract of a letter from a respectable House in Lisbon to a Gentleman in this town dated November 16, 1801.
"Grain and Flour have fallen to a low ebb, occasioned by the very abundant and unexpected supplies; together with the general peace; Granaries are not to be met with being all full. It is expected that we have a sufficiency of Wheat, for twelve months. Flour has been sold at the sacrificing price of eight dollars; and as to Indian Corn, it will not go off till next spring at any price."
CONVENTION WITH FRANCE.
The Treaty between this country and France, is at length officially announced to the public, by the Proclamation of The President. The following is the addition, annexed thereto by the First Consul of France, and ratified by our government.
"BONAPARTE, First Consul, in the name of the French People—The Consuls of the Republic, having seen and examined the Convention concluded, agreed to, and signed at Paris, the 8th Vendemaire, 9th year of the French Republic, (30th September, 1800) by the Citizens JOSEPH BONAPARTE, FLEURIEU and RODDER, Counsellors of State, in virtue of the full powers which have been given to them to this effect, with Messieurs ELLSWORTH, DAVIE and MURRAY, Ministers Plenipotentiary of the United States, equally furnished with full powers, the tenor of which Convention follows; [Here follows a copy of the Convention in the French language.]
"Approves the above Convention in all and each of the articles which are therein contained; declares that it is accepted, ratified and confirmed, and promises that it shall be inviolably observed.
"The government of the United States having added in its ratification, that the Convention should be in force for the space of eight years, and having omitted the second article, the government of the French Republic consents to accept, ratify and confirm the above Convention, with the addition, importing that the Convention shall be in force for the space of eight years, and with the retrenchment of the second article: Provided that by this retrenchment the two states renounce the respective pretensions which are the object of the said article.

DOCUMENTS.
Of the documents which accompanied the President's late message, was a letter from Mr. Hawkins, respecting the Indians under his charge, South of the Ohio. It is very lengthy, and goes much into detail of the progress made by the Indians in raising stock, in agricultural and manufacturing pursuits; and in the arts of civilized life.
By the new Census communicated to Congress it appears, that exclusive of Tennessee, the population of the United States is 5,172,314.

MATTHEW CAREY, an enlightened and liberal bookseller of Philadelphia, has published an address to the Printers and Booksellers of the United States, recommending a LITERARY FAIR, on the plan of those of Frankfort and Leipzig in Germany—a measure which would greatly benefit the trade in general, but more especially those who are situated in interior places. Should it not be adopted, Mr. C. will deserve the thanks of the Booksellers, and the Public, for the proposal.
JAMES PEARSON, physician in Boston, advertises, that he will undertake to cure the bite of a mad dog, so as
to prevent the hydrophobia—to cure all wounds so as to prevent the lock jaw—to stop the progress of a mortification when it first takes place in a wound—to cure the dropsy in its first stages—all scrofulous humours, white swellings, fever, and ague fores, and burns—and all without the use of mercury, opium or jesuits bark, the first of which, he says, ought never to be used.
The only accident mentioned in the French papers, as having taken place in consequence of the tumult of the rejoicings for Peace is rather of a very agreeable nature. A young man afflicted with deafness, happened to place himself near the cannon when they were going to fire the salvo. A cannoner called to him to keep off, but he did not hear. The cannon went off immediately, and the explosion almost completely cured him of his deafness! This may be placed among the miraculous effects of the Peace!
ACCIDENTS.

From SEWALL'S MISCELLANEOUS POEMS.
The following Speech, for substance, was actually made by a noted gamester in N. H. on obtaining a verdict against the unanimous opinion of the Judges, by tampering with the Jury.
WE cut and stuff'd, stir'd our stumps, Butz—ds! they put us to our trumps. They held court-cards, led suit beside, With all four honours on their side; They play'd the deuce! but we, more brave, Fins'd on hearts, and play'd the knave. We better knew the pack to fix, And won the game at last by tricks!
From the PORT FOLIO.
MR. OLDSCHOOL. About twelve months since, Dr. TIMOTHY DODD an eminent physician of RUTLAND, in VERMONT, riding at full speed to visit a patient dangerously sick, was thrown from his horse, broke his leg and wrenched the foot so as to dislocate it at the ankle. In this deplorable situation the Dr. remained near two hours, before any assistance came. In the mean while he crawled to a rock by the side of a run of water, in which he laved the wounds, and cleansed them from the clotted blood and the fragments of his stocking which had been impelled into them; and taking his instruments from his pocket, with astonishing fortitude proceeded to take up a principal blood vessel—and when found by his friends, was discovered with a pencil in his hand, with which he had just concluded writing the following lines. Much has been vaunted of the firmness of the ancient Stoics, but he, who can enter into the dreadful agonies of the doctor's distres, must confess, that the serene fortitude and true magnanimity of the Christian, by far excel the boasted insensibility of the Stoic.
EXACTULATORY SONNET.
THY judgments, God, are holy, right and just, Though evils press, and tho' we sink to dust; Though darkness shroud thy throne, and cloud thy face, I cleave to thee and hope thy pard'ning grace.
Firm is thy truth, thy promise ever sure, And Jesus' blood my safety will procure; Thy mercy beams with full refulgent ray, And opens the portals of eternal day.
Before thy throne I bow beneath thy rod, And own the arm and angry frown of God; Thy hand I feel nor dare thy dreadful power, Support me, God, in this tremendous hour. What'e'er my doom, what'e'er my state may be, O grant me still to put my trust in thee.
