"WHEN ANGRY NATIONS PART IN LEAGUES OF PEACE, LET PRIVATE FEUDS AND CIVIL DISCORDS CEASE."
POLITICAL REMARKS.
PATRIOTISM stands at the head of the social affections. It triumphs over every selfish motive and is a firm support to every virtue. The morals of the patriot are ever pure and his conduct ever correct. Patriotism at the same time is the great bulwark of civil liberty; equally abhorrent of despotism on the one hand, and of licentiousness on the other.
The management of the finances of a state is a most important branch of government; and no less delicate than important. They should never be committed to the direction of any but men of the most unquestionable integrity. And of all others, men, whose private affairs are desperate, are the least worthy of confidence in this department.
Money is not an object of commerce. It is only an instrument used by consent, to facilitate the exchange of the objects of commerce.
The prices of the objects of commerce are in proportion to the plenty or scarcity of the circulating money.
If the circulating money should be diminished one half, that which before was worth 20s. would now be worth 10s.—In the reign of Henry VII. a crown in England was as valuable as a pound is at present,—because it would buy as much.
If we consider a state by itself, it is of no consequence whether it has a circulating medium of £.200,000 or £.100,000.—Because the prices of things will always bear a proportion to the quantity of money. And if the circulating money should be reduced from £.200,000 to £.100,000, it would have no other effect in the end than to render one dollar as valuable as two dollars were before.
Though the low prices of every article of sale be a necessary consequence of the decrease of money, yet it follows not immediately upon such decrease. There is an interval before the alteration in the quantity of money is attended with a proportionable alteration in the price of commodities; and this interval is unfavourable to industry.
A commerce, in which the imports exceed in value the exports will always drain a nation of its money. If we import goods to the value of £.90,000, and export produce only to the value of £.80,000, there will be a balance against us of £.10,000, and this balance, as it cannot be paid by us in produce, must be paid in money.
It is only by an unfavorable balance of trade that a nation is ever drained of its money. Commercial nations, therefore, struggle hard against it.
A disadvantageous balance of trade may always be prevented by industry and frugality. If a people continue industrious and frugal, they cannot be long afflicted with an unfavourable balance.
The value of money rising in proportion to its scarcity will gradually lower the price of all commodities. And if our commodities be cheap, the money of foreigners will be introduced among us to purchase them, and thus exportation will be promoted. On the contrary, the difficulties and disadvantages of making remittances will lessen the imports, and thus the balance will gradually turn in our favor, and money in consequence will flow in among us.
An unfavorable balance of trade, in general indicates an expensive, profligate disposition in the people. And this profligacy of character can only be corrected by the embarrassing difficulties which it invariably brings upon people. To study how to supply by an artificial money the scarcity of coin occasioned by an unfavorable
balance, is to study how an expensive, profligate disposition in a people is to be cherished.
The above are the common remarks of all our admired political writers; and they are considered by statesmen as true as they are common.
The MONITOR.
'Tis Heav'n itself that points out an hereafter, And intimates eternity to man. CATO.
WHEN I consider how uncertain life is, and how transitory and fleeting our best enjoyments are here below, I am naturally led to conclude there must be a future state wherein the soul will have an opportunity of exerting all its noble powers and faculties, in the seraphick employment of adoration, love and praise, with kindred souls, in realms of everlasting bliss; or of feeling the dire effects of divine vengeance on account of sin, without mitigation and without an end; as in the present state virtue evidently labours under various afflictions, is unavoidably exposed to many trials, and often feels the pressures of accumulated woes, while vice is a stranger to misfortune, and riots without interruption through the several stages of human life unpunished and at pleasure; I cannot but believe (even though the scriptures had not made it known) that man's situation in this evil world, is only a prelude to his being introduced into another and more durable existence beyond the grave, where the justice, holiness and truth of the great Supreme, shall be fully displayed, vindicated and made honorable, to the unspeakable joy and felicity of the good and virtuous, and the unutterable confusion and dismay of the sons and daughters of sensuality and vice.
But since the oracle of divine inspiration so frequently inculcate this important doctrine, and prove it from arguments unanswerable and conclusive, I think it not only my duty, but my interest, to believe it, especially as I hope, through the merits of the great Redeemer, to find it a state of never ending happiness, beyond the reach of trouble, vexation and distress.
Were men in general more deeply convinced of that solemn and interesting truth, that, Beyond the grave two states remain, Of endless joy or endless pain, they would, I am well persuaded, be more solicitous to know the things which belong to their eternal peace, before they are forever hidden from their eyes.
L O N D O N, April 18.
The Spaniards have launched at different sea ports, since the peace in 1783, 11 ships of the line, one of which is of 110 guns, one of 86, two of 80, and the others of 70 guns each; and they go on to put their Marine on the most respectable establishment, by the new ships they are building, and the repair of all such others as are fit for service.
Monsieur Bouret, one of the Farmers General of Paris, was lately found expiring in his bed chamber, having not many days before predicted his death in the hearing of some of his friends, they concluded that he had taken poison. Notwithstanding that, like most of his fraternity, he had plundered the public of immense sums, he contrived not merely to fall into poverty, but even to feel the excess of want. His debts amount to a hundred thousand pounds, and he has died insolvent. To this was he reduced by the most incredible extravagances; one of which was his feeding a cow with green peas, when they were so scarce as to cost a louis d'or a quart, in order that a favorite mistress, to whom milk had been prescribed as a remedy in a consumption, might drink it in the richest and purest state.
The French King has lately authorised the French East India Company to double their first stock, which was twenty millions of livres, to forty millions. This augmentation of Capital is divided into 20,000 shares of 1000 livres each. Their privilege of trading is likewise extended from 7 to 15 years.
Extract of a letter from Paris.
M. Nicolet has given some curious experiments on apples in the air pump, and the production of air thereby, &c. and has had the honor of being presented at Versailles.—This ingenious gentleman has also made a solution of iron in la pomme d'api , which proves an admirable chalybeate.
April 20. Such failures have been discovered in the finances of France, that government cannot possibly make good her payments without a loan of 100,000,000 of livres: But in what manner this is to be raised, no determination is come to.
A self taught plough boy, named Cagton, aged 17, of Winthrop, near Newark upon Trent, has lately been introduced to several of the first painters and engravers in town, who are surprised at his drawings that have been laid before them. The president of the Royal Society has given the young man apartments in his house in town, where he will be permitted to follow the natural bent of his genius.
BALTIMORE, July 3.
Copy of a letter from a gentleman at the Falls of the Ohio, to his friend in New England.
"Louisville, Falls of the Ohio, 6th December, 1786.
"I cannot but remind you of the danger into which the United States are now plunging themselves. Spain has placed the rock upon which they are likely to split. It is very surprising to every rational person, that the legislature of those states, which have been so applauded for their assertion and defence of their just rights and privileges, should so soon endeavour to subjugate a great part of their dominions even to worse slavery than ever Great-Britain presumed to subjugate any part of hers. Ireland is a free country to what this will be when its navigation is given into the hands of the Spaniards.—There now seems a greater call for the people here to appeal to justice and to arms, for the defence of their just rights, than was ever known in America—The fine western counties of Pennsylvania are sensibly affected.—The French at the Illinois and Post St. Vincent have two thousand militia, and by forming a new alliance, the numerous tribes of Indians will join us. The State of Franklin are ready to fly to arms—In Kentucky, Liberty or Death are in every one's mouth!—all is in confusion—and God only knows where it will end.—Except Congress immediately rescind their resolution, and do something to make this country form a better opinion of them, America is ruined! inevitably ruined!
"I am far from the opinion of some, that nothing else should be attempted, but to give the federal council a power to regulate foreign commerce. I think it would be of advantage to new-moddle and modernize the whole instrument, no matter whether in thirteen or twenty articles; and perhaps, it will be found, that not the least of the defects of the present instrument, is the having some states too large, others more ridiculously small, and the want of fixing by precise limits, all the states; also providing a certain and regular mode for the erection of new states in the Western Country.—At a venture, however, this much might be attempted, to annex Rhode-Island to Connecticut, and Delaware to Maryland. All these you will say are Utopian schemes. It may be so—but may not I say, if an effort is not made for a thorough reform, it will argue a want of wisdom and virtue somewhere,

Late European Intelligence,
From London papers, to the 15th of May, received by Captain Callahan, in the ship Lucretia, in six weeks from London; arrived at Boston the 16th inst. we have selected the following.
FROM THE LONDON GENERAL ADVERTISER. BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS, Monday, May 14.
THE lord chancellor came down to the bar when black rod introduced Mr. Burke, attended by Michael Angelo Taylor, Esquire, Mr. Francis, Lord Duncannon, Mr. Adam, Mr. Anstruther, Sir James Erskine, Mr. Windham, Mr. Gray, Mr. Tho's. Scott, Sir Gray Cooper, and about thirty other members of the lower house. Mr. Burke bore in his hands a tremendous roll of parchment, containing,
The Articles of Impeachment exhibited against Warren Hastings, Esquire.
Mr. Burke delivered the articles to the Lord chancellor and said, "My lord chancellor, we are commanded by the commons of Great-Britain, to exhibit articles of impeachment, of high crimes and misdemeanors, committed by Warren Hastings, Esq. late Governor-General of Bengal, at the bar of this house, in the name of the knights, citizens and burgesses of Great Britain, in parliament assembled, in behalf of themselves and all the Commons of this realm."
Mr. Burke was withdrawing from the bar without delivering the paper which contained the message, when the lord chancellor asked him for it, and he delivered it to his lordship. The lord chancellor read the title of the impeachment, after which the heads of the articles were read twice by the clerk at the table.
Lord Sidney moved, that Warren Hastings, Esquire, should be summoned to attend the house to-morrow, to hear the charges read, and make his defence.
The lord chancellor put the question, when Earl Fitzwilliam rose, and, in a very low tone of voice, stated the great importance of the business, and the regard which ought to be paid to a prosecution of so serious a nature; his lordship, therefore, was of opinion, that it would be more consistent with the dignity of the house, and the respect which was due to the commons of Great-Britain, to appoint a committee to search into precedents, and report to the house; and then would be the proper time to take the necessary steps to bring Mr. Hastings to the bar.
The lord chancellor left the woolfack, and agreed in opinion with the noble earl, as to the high importance of the prosecution. He could, therefore, have no objection whatever to the appointment of a committee, who might report their proceedings, and the necessary steps be pursued.
The duke of Manchester read from the journals a case in point, in which a committee was appointed, who reported the third day afterwards. He, therefore, moved, that a committee should be appointed, and to make their report on Thursday next.
After a few words, in the nature of a conversation, between lord Hopetoun, earl Fitzwilliam, the lord chancellor, and the duke of Manchester, a committee was appointed to examine the journals, and report to the house.
From the present situation of affairs in Holland, there is every reason to apprehend the most serious consequences to the different provinces. Instead of adopting any plans to compose the subsisting differences, the members of the several councils are employed in preparing against attacks; and, jealous of encroachments, the soldiery of one province are prohibited from entering another. If such be the first fruits of an alliance with France, the Hollanders will have reason to lament not yielding to the advice of the stadtholder, who would have renewed that political connection with Great-Britain, by the means of which the United Provinces were first enabled to rank as states among the powers of Europe.
A letter from Venice, dated April 14, says, "Much business has lately been done in our arsenal, and reconnoitring vessels have been dispatched to Dalmatia, and the Islands of Corfu. Our republic are to take an actual and open part in the war which is breaking out between Russia and the Porte, and the object is to recover a part of our ancient possessions, such as the island of Cyprus, Candy, &c. All letters from foreign powers are now read in the senate with uncommon secrecy."
Another letter from Venice, of the same date speaks of a convention between Russia, Austria, and Venice against the Porte, which, it is conceived, would effectually drive the Turks from Europe, and establish the Greek empire. But
that there are so many powers interested in maintaining the Turkish dominions that such a revolution could not be easily brought to pass.
May 11. The house of commons, yesterday, ordered the 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th and 6th, articles of impeachment, to be again read. They were then amended, and ordered to be engrossed.
Resolved, "That Warren Hastings, Esquire, late Governor General of Bengal be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors."
Resolved, "That Mr. Burke do go to the bar of the house of lords, and there, in the name of the house of commons, and of all the commons of Great-Britain, impeach the said Warren Hastings of high crimes and misdemeanors; and inform their lordships, that this house will, with all convenient speed, send up articles of impeachment against him."
And Mr. Burke accordingly went, accompanied by near one hundred members.
The solemnity observed, yesterday, on the final vote of impeachment of Mr. Hastings, in the house of commons, was highly characteristick of the magnitude of the proceeding. Mr. Burke conducted himself with a dignity that became the national prosecutor in so great a cause.
The most alarming accounts have been received from Tangiers, of the dreadful ravages made by the plague through all the dominions of the emperor of Morocco. That pestilence rages with the most incredible fury in the cities of Mequinez and Fez, in both which places great numbers daily fall victims to that fatal disease. The Italian states are under the most serious apprehensions, lest its progress should extend to the coasts of those countries, and every necessary precaution has been adopted for the prevention of such an accident.
On the first instant, the dauphin of France, having attained the age of five years and seven months, and the king being determined to deliver him to the care of men,—the duke of Harcourt his governor, the two sub-governors, and other persons whom the king thought proper to employ on this occasion, being present, the king, being in his grand cabinet, the duchess of Polignac, governess of the children of France, accompanied by the countess de Soucy, and the machioness de Villefort, sub governesses, and the rest of the nursery, delivered up charge of the dauphin, having first rendered to the king an account of the state of the Prince's health, which was also certified by the faculty. The king, having received the dauphin from the hands of the duchess of Polignac, and expressed his satisfaction for her care of him, delivered him into the hands of the duke of Harcourt, who, after conducting his highness to the queen, retired with him to the apartments provided for his residence.
The new stamp act in France, has been in contemplation ever since 1764; it is on the model of the famous American bill, passed for that purpose—besides bills of exchange, notes, receipts, private agreements, bonds, and notarial business, all newspapers and pamphlets are to be stamped; and advertisements are also to pay a duty. The common people are very clamorous in urging a tax on the carriages, horses and servants of the nobility.
May 15. There is now getting ready at Brest a fleet, consisting of twenty one sail of the line, and eight frigates, which it is alledged, are for the purpose of exercising the marine.
An arrest of council was published at Paris on the 8th inst. granting to the sieur Coffe, who was the first undertaker of the manufactory for making nails at Laon, the exclusive privilege for 15 years, of a discovery which has made, and which has been tried before two members of the Royal Academy of France. He has found the secret of preparing a mixture with the husks of raisins or grapes, distilled or not distilled, which if mixed with coals, has the quality of rendering their heat double. This preparation forces out the sulphurous matter, and replaces it with phlogistick air sufficient to forge large pieces of iron and steel, without using wood as well as coals; and soldering may be likewise easier effected by it; it also renders the iron more malleable, and even copper may be tinned by it alone. This discovery, besides taking off the useless refuse from the vineyards in the provinces, will prove, it is said, of great utility, as wood and coals are both become scarce in France.
A letter from Madeira, by way of Lisbon, says, that the crew of an Algerine galley attempted to land, with intent to carry off some of the inhabitants; but a body of the natives, headed by an English gentleman, soon beat them off with the loss of ten men killed, and many wounded, ten taken prisoners, and sold to the merchants for slaves.
CIVIL WAR—in Holland!
From the Hampshire Chronicle of May 28, printed at Portsmouth, England—received, by Capt. Callahan.
May 22. The intelligence communicated some days since to the public, relative to a civil war in Holland, is now confirmed by the mails which arrived yesterday. On the ninth of this month an action between the patriotic party, as they are termed, and the regular troops, took place near Utrecht, in which numbers were killed and wounded.
At the commencement of the year, an American, bringing with him a considerable sum of money, but having no acquaintance whatsoever, arrived at Bourdeaux, and fixed his residence in a small hotel. Here he formed two connections, with whom he lived in confidential intimacy; the landlord, and a friseur , the last of whom officiated as his occasional Valet de Chambre. To none but these and his negro servant, was he at all accessible; becoming at length more and more unguarded in the relation of his concerns and property in America, his two friends having corrupted the black slave, contrived a plan for making themselves the inheritors of his fortune. At the expiration of two months from his arrival, the American died suddenly in his bed; immediately afterwards the landlord and the hair dresser concealed, only for such a length of time as suited their purposes, the body of the deceased. One of these miscreants, disguising himself as much as possible, and putting on the appearance of a dying man, undressed himself, and entered into the sick bed, whilst the other, accompanied by the negro, went in search of a Notary to make the will of the supposed expiring testator. This ceremony having been concluded the pious triumvirate sent for a Father Confessor to hear a catalogue of sins, to comfort a penitent in the last agonies, and to make him spotless by his hallowed absolution. Previous to the coming of this sacred visitor, the corpse was replaced in the bed, and then, with feigned tears, the three villains informed the Minister, that death had made it too late for him to execute his devout purposes, that the much lamented American was no more. The will was now read in form, and from thence it appeared that the inn-keeper and the hair dresser were the sole legatees. These having buried the American, began to administer, but too covetous of the wickedly acquired spoil, they refused totally to fulfil their liberal promised of reward to the negro; in consequence of which this irritated accomplice has betrayed them to the Magistrate. They are now under arrest; preparations are making for their trial, and the issue of it will doubtless prove fatal.
Such an opinion does the French King still entertain of Mons. de Calonne, although he has been persuaded by powerful motives to remove him from his Councils, and to banish him to Bernois, that he has giving him a pension of three thousand pounds per annum: A strong and conclusive proof of approbation. Mons. de Fourqueux, who has been appointed in the room of the dismissed Minister, is said to be dissatisfied already with his office, and has intimated his wishes to the Sovereign to resign it. No man of principle or honour, should the Comptroller General's seat again be vacated, will offer himself as a candidate for it, since a secret influence seems to preponderate there, which commands in all cases; and Calonne, who is apparently the passive , is sub rosa the active Minister.
The speedy downfall of the British Empire may with reason be prognosticated, when it is asserted with precision, that the interest of the national debt amounts to the enormous sum of twenty-four thousand pounds a day.
It is said, that a convention has lately been signed between their most Catholick and Christian Majesties relative to a mutual guarantee of trade and commerce in the West Indies and America.
PHILADELPHIA, July 4. In the French Packet which lately arrived at New-York, came passenger the Chevalier John Paul Jones, late a commander in the American Navy; and on Friday last he arrived in this city.
This Advertisement is to forbid all persons giving any credit to Sarah the wife of Richard Waldron, as he pays no debts of her contracting from date.

FOR SALE,
An elegant new fall-back Chaise, term of payment very easy. Inquire of the Printer

PHILADELPHIA, July 9. A correspondent remarks that the convention now sitting, seems quite novel in the history of governments, and stands remarkable and alone in political history.—After the establishment of governments in various parts of the continent, some of which have been forced upon the majority of the governed; and after the existence of others, which have not only been cheerfully submitted to, but eagerly embraced by the people; it is still singular to see an authority, however great and respectable in itself, presiding tacitly over the confederation of the states by voluntary election.
May patriotism blow the gale, and virtue be the pilot to the ports of happiness and freedom.
WILMINGTON, (Delaware) July 4.
Messrs. CRAIG and Co.
Please to inform the publick (millers in particular) that it is expected the British parliament is about to pass an act, intitled, 'an act for the encouragement of manufacturing flour in the West Indies.'—American flour will be prohibited; rum will be bartered for wheat and corn, from the manufacturing of which the planters promise themselves great advantages, as they with a small additional expense, can add the machinery to their present wind mills without any additional expense, to their cane grinding. Thus far we are assured, that a gentleman from one of those islands of respectable character, has lately paid us a visit on no other business than to make his observation on an American mill.
PRINCETON, (New Jersey) July 5.
By a gentleman from the westward we have received the following account of emigrants to the settlements of Kentucky and the falls of the Ohio, taken from a return made by the adjutant of the troops stationed at Fort-Harmar, at the mouth of the Muskingum—viz. From the 10th of October 1786 to the 12th of May 1787, there have passed the garrison down the Ohio—177 boats, containing 2689 souls, 1333 horses, 766 cattle, 102 waggons and one phaeton; besides a number which passed in the night unobserved.
PORTSMOUTH, July 21.
A writer in a late English paper very candidly observes, that the French have been represented as a people pleased rather with trifles than solidities. This, however, is a gross error; for there is not a nation in Europe in which objects of greater magnitude are undertaken. At this moment one of the most stupendous works human effort can attempt, is carrying on in France.—A canal is opening between the rivers Loire and Garonne, which, when effected, will actually intersect the kingdom in every direction, and form an inland navigation to the extent of twelve hundred miles, joining the cities of Nants, Cette, Bourde, aux, Orleans, Tours, Toulouse, and two hundred other inland towns, giving them all water-carriage to the ocean, in the Bay of Biscay, Atlantick, the British channel, and the Mediterranean. This is a work of wonder, and infinitely redounds to the credit of France.
Died since our last, Mrs. SUSANNAH GODDARD, consort of Dr. JOHN GODDARD, of this town, in the 29th year of her age.
GENERAL ORDERS.
The Major-Generals, Fellows and Cilley, will please to consult their Brigadiers and agree upon proper days for reviewing those regiments the ensuing fall, that have not already been reviewed.
THE Major-Generals will review such regiments in their respective divisions as they can with convenience, and direct the Brigadiers to review the residue.—The Brigadiers will also muster and review such of the regiments that have been reviewed by the Captain-General as they may think proper, the commanding officers of regiments will also assemble such companies in their respective regiments, as can assemble without much travel and fatigue, and cause them to be instructed in the necessary exercises and manœuvres, at which musters the Colonel, or such field officers as they may appoint will please to attend.
The attendance of the Commander in Chief to public business, will probably prevent his being present at any of the reviews, the Major-Generals will therefore make the necessary arrangements, and give such orders as they may think proper. Given at Durham, the 16th day of July, 1787, and in the 12th year of American Independence.
