An ESSAY on the Means of promoting FEDERAL SENTIMENTS in the United States. By a Foreign Spectator. (Continued from No. 318.)
AN American who has gained distinction both by the sword and pen, says on this subject. "It is delicate: but it is necessary to contemplate it, to teach us to form a true estimate of our situation. Wars with each other would beget standing armies, a source of real danger to our liberties: they will lead to opposite alliances with foreign powers, and plunge us into all the labyrinths of European politics. The Romans in their progress to universal dominion, when they conceived the project of subduing the refractory spirit of the Grecian republics, which composed the famous Achaian league, began by sowing dissensions among them, and instilling jealousies of each other, and of the common-head; and finished by making them a province of the Roman Empire. If there are any foreign enemies, or domestic foes to this country; all their arts will be employed to effect a dissolution of the union. This cannot be better done than by sowing jealousies of the federal head, and cultivating in this state an undue attachment to its power." (a) It is not uncommon to hear people say, it cannot be the interest of any power to meddle with us. Alas! nations are not yet civilized enough to know and pursue only true felicity. They are not indeed as formerly, mad enough to make war, merely to show the world, how they can kill and die; but love of dominion and conquest is a disease of which the greater powers are not yet perfectly cured. Commerce is the hobby-horse of the age; defenders of the faith, most Christian and most Catholic princes, now cut the throats of each other, for sugar, rum, spice and gold lace, as they formerly did for titles and mysteries of faith—and it cannot be denied, that in a certain degree, commerce, manufactures, and colonization are necessary in countries full of people, and loaded with an enormous expense for the support of a splendid government, fleets and armies. Nations have at present many objects, and they are more or less connected; the affairs of Europe are also extremely interwoven, and diffused throughout the world—hence the many causes of wars, that spread their flames over the globe. Wars and politics thus intimately blended is the trade of all the greater European powers; and it often degenerates into intrigue and insolence. A sportsman is delighted to pursue the fox throughout all his windings, and to bring his hounds into play, who are as eager for the chase as himself—perhaps he loses a crop of grain for the fox's skin, but it was his whim, and to make up the loss, he will next time hunt fat deer, or his poor neighbour's sheep.
When two powers are at variance, or a nation is divided against itself, it is common to step in as a mediator, under pretence of supporting the political balance, or of a tender conscience, a magnanimous regard to the sacred rights of mankind—but if you will not accept of this gracious mediation, it will be enforced by 100,000 soldiers—You must feed these on turkeys, roast beef, and plum pudding; give them plenty of good liquors; lodge them in your best apartments; and last pay them to the utmost farthing—but very probably as they have kindly taken you under their care, because you cannot manage for yourself, they will be generous enough to be perpetual guardians, and keep your houses, lands, stores in their own hands—You may bless your stars, if they are contented with two or three provinces. Unhappy Holland is on the point of being devoured by several great armies, and may perhaps finally be divided among her powerful neighbours. Party is always delirious; but foreign intrigues make it quite mad, by inflaming envy and rage; by corrupting the luxurious, the greedy and vain with fascinating gold; and by gratifying that ambition which is mean enough to be lifted high by a foreign hand, and to receive from it an iron rod for the oppression of fellow citizens.
Every part of this federal empire was gained by the sword, by distress, and slaughter—the land, from Georgia, to New-Hampshire, has drunk American blood—the blood hounds of the western forests have torn many babes from the mothers' breasts, many wives from the arms of husbands, scalped and burnt them in lingering fires. What Americans can without horror, indignation and grief, recollect that a fatal delusion may basely throw under foreign dominion, the plains of Saratoga, York-Town, or the Cowpens. (b) Here methinks I see every fordid writhing his head, and every brave American clasp his hand to his sword, and swear by the ashes of all their fellow soldiers, and by their own noble hearts, it shall not be.
It is but too probable, that disunion would cause the loss of our frontier states; but if no foreign power should interfere, it would

yet produce a catastrophe full of misery. The United States may find by their own unhappy experiences, that there is a natural and necessary progression from the extreme of anarchy to the extreme of tyranny, and that arbitrary power is easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness." (c) The tempest would undoubtedly rage over the whole land for a long while, and heaven only knows what horrid destruction it may cause—how many towns shall be burnt or pillaged! how many families shall be reduced from affluence to beggary! what numbers shall fall by the hands of brothers and friends! how many widows and orphans shall lament a Warren! (d) how many parents mourn over a gallant Laurens! (e) What darkness of barbarity shall invelope the nation! what showers of blood must fall before the clouds break! The Almighty himself, who can hush the thunder and in a moment calm the fury of the elements, cannot quiet the storm of human passions raised by the abuse of a free will; it must rage till baleful misery gradually restores the sunshine of reason, and virtue. After all, this destruction may not be repaired for ages, perhaps never—The fabrics thrown up on this vast ruin of the continent will not be like the glorious temple of federal liberty. The states powerful in fighting men, would probably make the weak ones vassals. Those where property is very unequal, would no doubt become very haughty oppressive aristocracies. These are well described by their own citizens. (f) Baretti relates that any gentleman may with his cane part the populace when they fight: and that at Venice the nobles spit from the boxes into the pit; yet the people suffer most patiently this insult, and love those very nobles, scarcely giving vent to some short and comical exclamation, when their hands and faces are polluted. The excellent, but impotent King of Poland, thus laments the misery of his people who are not properly his subjects, but slaves to the grandees: (g) "We scarcely distinguish them from the brutes, which they maintain for the cultivation of our lands—I cannot recollect without horror that law, which imposes only a fine of fifteen livres upon a gentleman that kills a peasant." That state which may become an absolute monarchy, will be the best off, as this is infinitely superior to aristocracy, and much preferable to a turbulent republic—but even that government must for a long time be very severe; for those who cannot rule themselves must have a very sharp master. When the several states shall after long and terrible convulsions, at last come to some kind of settlement, they will undoubtedly have frequent wars, like all other independent states; they cannot surely expect a happier destiny than the most civilized countries in Europe, which seldom have peace for many years. Americans be wise! will you throw away independence, liberty, happiness, and become hewers of wood and drawers of water to foreign or domestic masters! will the conquerors of Burgoyne and Cornwallis be spit in the face—Ye heroes and patriots, that have waved the blade of high command, and directed federal councils, will you be trampled under the feet of mobs, or will you deign to court the smile of the greatest monarch! (To be continued.)

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8. A few days since Captains Craig, Brady, Stephenfon, Begs, Mr. Pim and Mr. Erb, went to the county of Luzerne, and there, by order of the Supreme Executive Council, apprehended John Franklin, and yesterday brought him to this city. This man has been very active in fomenting disturbances in that county. Great address and resolution were shown by the gentlemen employed in conducting this business; they were all officers in the late continental army, who distinguished themselves by their bravery during the late war: it is to be hoped they will receive sufficient compensation for their services.
A correspondent, with pleasure, informs the public, that John Franklin, of Luzerne county, a refractory member of our late Assembly, was taken a few days ago by a few of the old continental officers, and is now safely lodged with Captain Reynolds in the gaol of this city, where he is to remain without bail or mainprize, until he is impeached with the infamous nineteen members, who had the audacity to attempt the breaking up of the late House of Assembly, at the last session, after wafting 1667, 10s. of the public's money, without finishing any part of the business the house had been sitting upon.
BOSTON, Oct. 3. On Monday last the Ancient and Honorable Artillery of this Commonwealth, commanded by Major-General Brooks, made
their second autumnal appearance, agreeable to charter. The company marched from State-street at 12 o'clock for Medford. At Charlestown they were received by the Medford Independent Light-Infantry, under the command of Captain Hall, who escorted them to the place of destination. The Artillery there performed the requisite firings and evolutions, after which they dined at Blanchard's Tavern, and returned to this town at eight o'clock in the evening. Amongst the extemporaneous toasts drunk on this occasion, were the following:—1st. General Washington, and the Federal Convention. 2d. The Constitution for the United States, reported by that Hon. Body. 3d. As OLD MASSACHUSETTS took the LEAD in the late glorious Revolution, may she be the first to give a sanction to the AMERICAN CONSTITUTION of government. 9th. May the man who wantonly opposes the American Constitution, be marked as an enemy to the liberties of America.
New-York, Oct. 11.
This day the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut are to meet at New-Haven.
The General Assembly of the State of New-Hampshire have adjourned to the 3d Wednesday of January next, then to meet at Portsmouth.
We are informed from the best authority, that the Viceroy of Santa-Fe has lately given a new proof of his humanity, in regard to the native Indians on the coast of Darien, with whom the Spaniards have been at war for many years past. Every thing was ready to ensure the entire conquest of the coast, and the unconditional submission of its inhabitants, according to the laws of war; when the Viceroy, with that philanthropic spirit, which is so conspicuous in all the actions of this truly great and good man, signified to many of his friends, by whom he was surrounded, that he should be extremely happy, if, agreeable to his earnest wishes, he could terminate the quarrel without further bloodshed, notwithstanding the cruelties committed on the part of the Indians since the commencement of hostilities, by murdering without mercy, or any just cause of complaint, one hundred and ten Spanish soldiers, three officers, two women, and a child, who escaped from shipwreck on the coast of Darien in the year 1782, and by burning all the houses at San Geronimo de Buena Vista, and putting the defenceless inhabitants to the sword, without distinction of age or sex. To effect the gracious purposes of peace, the Viceroy gave orders for an Ambassador to proceed to the head-quarters of the Indians without delay, in order to acquaint them with his humane determination, which was to treat them with every kind of lenity and undissembled friendship, if they were definitively resolved to live in an amicable manner for the future. The Indians received the Ambassador with every token of respect, and listened to him with great attention; and, after several meetings, they resolved to dispatch their General and Chief Men to confer with the Viceroy upon terms of peace and amity. Some few days after the Indian Missionaries had arrived at Carthagena, the matter was finally settled with the Viceroy, in the presence of his Court, by which the peace of the province of Darien is firmly established, according to the true laws of justice and humanity. This event was celebrated at Carthagena by singing Te Deum with uncommon solemnity; and was concluded by many other public rejoicings.
We are further informed, that the Viceroy, from the entrance of those rude people into Carthagena, until the day of their leaving it, exerted himself continually to make them satisfied with their reception; and, at their departure, loaded them with the richest presents.
Married yesterday evening, Mr. JOHN VAN CORTLANDT, of this city, to Miss KITTY CUYLER, of Albany.
Died on Tuesday, Miss ABIGAIL SEARS, youngest daughter of the late Isaac Sears, Esquire.
An ANECDOTE. Cavete Felices!
A recent Candidate for an office had, apparently, such a powerful interest, that the inferior and subordinate characters in the department applied to him, and humbly petitioned their continuation in office. The sanguine and confident expectant turned upon his heel, and replied to these humble petitioners, in a laconic and majestic manner, that he had made his arrangements. The confident Candidate was disappointed, and the petitioners triumphed with no small degree of joy. HISTORICUS.
SHIP-NEWS.
The ship Four Friends is arrived at Dover, Extract of a letter from St. John's, Antigua, August 23.
"On Saturday last arrived here, in great distress, the ship Bonny Lass, Mr. Adzean, master, from Bolton, bound to this island,
having, about eleven o'clock on Thursday last, ten leagues eastward of Guadalupe, met with a violent hurricane, which continued till about six o'clock in the afternoon, with such unmitigated violence, that it made a new fore-sail and fore-stay-sail (under which the ship was scudding) give way; it blew away the jib and jib-boom, made the ship broach to, and laid her on her beam ends for some time; being in this situation, the crew were obliged to cut away her main and mizen masts, after which she righted, and having got before the wind, was driven within about half a mile of the East part of Dominica, which, with great difficulty, she weathered."
