THOUGHTS ON THE Increasing Wealth & National Economy Of the United States of America.
INTRODUCTION. FROM the time of the establishment of our European Ancestors on the western side of the Atlantic Ocean, to the recent contest of the United States for Independence, all faithful representations of the rapid growth of the country, were in Europe deemed fabulous,—and still there must remain a vast variety of opinions both in Europe and America on the rate of our annual increase. To point out an eligible mode by which to answer the various subordinate questions comprised under the several heads of the Statistical Table annexed, and to consider the natural result of the whole, is the sole object both of the table and of the explanatory remarks.
The first Essays will be offered to the public in their true state in the order in which they may arise, but if they should ever be considered of sufficient importance to call for a revision, method may be more attended to in classing the several remarks each render its proper head.
NO. I. ON POPULATION, The very ingenious and indefatigable Dr. Mofye, in his elaborate geographical work, makes the following remarks, which are warranted in fact both by the opinions and the experience of cotemporary writers of celebrity. Admitting the population of the United States at present (1796) to be five millions, and that this number will be doubled in twenty years, and continue to increase in that ratio for a century to come, at that period, viz. 1796, there will be in United America one hundred and sixty millions, nearly twenty millions more than there are at present in all Europe.
Sir William Petty, in his Essays on Political Arithmetic, has given an average valuation for each inhabitant of Britain in his time; they are rated by him at 90 pounds sterling per head, or 400 dollars; if this rule be applied to the present inhabitants of these States, they are now worth more than two thousand millions of dollars; in addition to this statement, the following will be more generally understood, and as far as it agrees with, must, strengthen the position formed from Mr. Petty's rule for a personal valuation. The taxable property of the United States, per valuation under the recent law of Congress amounts to more than 750 millions, which will authorize a valuation of personal property in stock, money, shipping, &c. at as much more And about 500 millions of lands to average one dollar per acre Total 2000 mil. dols.
An annual compound increase of 3 per cent will double the given number in about 24 years, by this rule the population has been averaged in the annexed table from the time of census in 1796, although the exports of merchandise and the tonnage have more than doubled in half that time; yet for a succession of years it may be safer to confide in the rule adopted for the rate of increase in population, more especially when it is found that under such prudent calculations the net amount of the increase of wealth for the last year only is at least three per cent on two thousand millions or the sum of SIXTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. When it is considered that the whole of this actual increase amounts in fact to a positive thos' in part a passive fund, and is therefore called a natural sinking fund to distinguish it from the visible operations of the ordinary revenues of the state. Hence it may not be difficult to conceive that the United States are within a short space to rank with the most powerful States on Earth both in Po-
pulation and in general wealth. And further to consider the effects of population only it may be said with truth that by constant increase it has since the year 1796 reduced a public debt of 20 dollars for each individual to fifteen dollars, and if the conjectural increase for 1806 should be verified the whole amount of eighty millions may then be redeemed by a capitulation of fifty cents only, the ultimate population destined for the United States may be better imagined by a comparative view of the old world, where it will be found that France, England, Italy and the Netherlands will average about 160 inhabitants to each square mile, and China with no favorable difference either in soil or climate, has above three hundred, which rate of population would give to the United States above three hundred millions: but experience has shown that a population less than half that of China would be more conducive to health and to every rational enjoyment.

ARMY OF THE WEST.
Extract of a letter from Amedeus Gardanne, General of division, commanding the 14th military division.
Head quarters at Fiers, 3 Pluviôse, year 8, January 23, 1800.
For four days I have been in pursuit of the Chouans, without being able to come up with them. The ci-devant Marquis de Coët, who had fixed his head quarters at Fiers, evacuated it on my approach. General of brigade Pinon, commanding in the department of La Manche informs me that in the district of St. George's the brigands were attacked. They had three men killed, a great number wounded, and were completely put to route. We took from them several muskets, and seized seven prisoners they had taken from a detachment belonging to Ville-Dieu on the 26th of last month, contrary to the armistice. General Pinon adds, that the rebels fly in all quarters, and that it is very difficult to fall in with them. After a march of 24 hours, joined them at the house of a person belonging to the commune of Clinchamp, from whom they were going to extort a ransom. This was in the middle of the night. He entered with six men of his brigade, attacked the Chouans to the number of seven, killed 4 and made the other three prisoners. Two of them were mortally wounded.
Hedouville, general of division, lieutenant of the commander in chief, to the generals commanding the sub-divisions in which the Chouans have been submitted to the laws of the Republic.
Angers, 2 Pluviôse, 12 Jan.
Have the goodness, citizen general, to give the most pointed orders, that every individual who shall quit in arms the communes, on both banks of the Loire, where the disbanding of the Chouans is entirely to take place, shall be arrested, disarmed, and put in prison; authorize the commanders of the circle, to notify this in all the communes; desire them to employ every possible means to obtain a list of the persons who have come in with muskets, taking care to avoid giving umbrage, in order that the disarming may be effected without disturbance when it takes place, leaving no muskets, but to the proprietors and farmers, under the express condition of using them only in their houses and for their defence against robbers. The description of Chouans is no longer to be acknowledged in the places where they were to have been disbanded, and all those taken with arms in their hands, shall be considered and treated as robbers.
(Signed) T. HEDOUVILLE.
ANOTHER LETTER.
4 Pluviôse, Jan. 20.
Gen. Hedouville loses no time in announcing that M. Bourmont with his division has joined the divisions of M. d'Autichamp and Chatillon, who have accepted peace with gratitude. In consequence of this arrangement the disbanding of the Chouans, composing the division of M. Bourmont, is to take place entirely and absolutely. Thus the olive will succeed on the two banks of the Loire, the melancholy cypress which the war had produced. The government is incessantly occupied in devising the means of consolidating internal peace in these departments. In consequence of the measure taken by general Brune you may rely upon it that peace will very soon be restored to the maritime department of the West, which are still disturbed.
(Signed) T. HEDOUVILLE.
The above is explained by the following Extract of a letter from General Chabot.
Head quarters at Laval, 6 Pluviôse, January 26.
The suspension of hostilities had been prolonged to the 1st Pluviôse (Jan. 201 Jan.) inclusive, and upon that day I had taken the field with two columns to march to attack the groups of Chouans of which I knew. On the 2d I drove the enemy before me in six different points, and I came up with them in the commune of Melac, where Bourmont had assembled the greater part of his forces, and waited my arrival. I attacked him at break of day. The enemy, to the number of 4000 made a vigorous resistance; but the brave 6th demi-brigade of light infantry, of which my columns consisted, soon put them completely to route. A great number of them were killed on the spot, among whom were several chiefs of distinction. Bourmont himself made his escape by quitting his horse. Certain information, which I have received, states that the inhabitants of the country saw more than 30 wagons with wounded pass to Enhammes. I was continuing the pursuit of the enemy when I was informed, that Bourmont and his division had joined the divisions of Chatillon and d'Autichamp, who had accepted peace with gratitude. After receiving this news I arrived at Laval this evening. I have just received orders to proceed to Rennes with considerable forces.

Head Quarters at Domfront, the 5th Pluviôse, year 8, January 25.
I have the honor to inform you that adjutant general Lamarque writes me from
Vimoutier, that he attacked the Chouans near that town, and that they threw themselves into the forest of Renou, whither he pursued them; that many were killed, and that in their precipitate flight, the Chouans threw down their arms.
(Signed) GARDANNE.
Another letter same date.
The dispositions which I had taken have produced the effect I expected from them. The general of brigade Dumoulin writes me, that on the 2d he attacked near St. James's, a column of 1500 Chouans, and that their loss was considerable in killed and wounded, not less, according to his account, than a third of the whole. The action lasted four hours. He lost twelve men, among whom four were killed, and the others wounded.
I am in pursuit of Frotte.

Letter of General Amedeus Gardanne, commanding the 14th Military Division.
Head Quarters, Ferte-Macé, 6th Pluviôse, Jan. 26.
Engagement of the 5th Pluviôse.
I have the honor of informing you that on the day of the 5th Pluviôse, Frotte (as he is called) was joined by one column. Adjutant general Brises, who commanded the right wing on the side of Ferte-Macé and Magny, was the first who discovered him, near La Motte-Fouquet; and, though he was inferior in number, he attacked the Chouans with intrepidity, and at first threw them into disorder and confusion; but the enemy, perceiving his force to be so small, attempted an attack on their side, which was carried on with great spirit. Adjutant general Brises sustained the charge of the Brigands during two hours, which allowed time for the column of general Avril to arrive. The latter then attacked and completely discomfited them, with very considerable loss on the part of the enemy. Gen. Avril and adjutant general Brises fought with equal intrepidity, as also citizen Lafite, the adjutant of the latter. The two last mentioned had their horses killed under them. We had six killed and fifteen wounded. The enemy left the field of battle covered with dead and wounded. One of their leaders was among the dead. The detachments of the 25th and 72d demi brigades, and the movable columns, particularly distinguished themselves.

I lose no time, General, in acquainting you with a new victory. The result is as follows:—On my arrival at Alençon on the 9th Pluviôse, I was informed at ten o'clock at night there was a considerable collection of Chouans in the commune of St. Christophe. I immediately ordered 100 infantry and 16 horses to cut off the retreat of the Brigands; and in order to perform this service with more dispatch, I called upon the commune for a number of carriages sufficient to convey my men to the destined spot, for the weather was most severe, and the floods of rain we had to pass were immense. My orders were speedily executed, and activity on that occasion was the chief merit of the action. On his arrival at the appointed spot citizens Jaume, an intelligent officer, whom I had charged with the direction of the expedition, took the ablest measures for the execution and success of his mission. At six in the morning, being arrived at the appointed place, the village was invested and every outlet closed up. The whole of the Chouans were surprised, and the greater part of them were put to the sword. A great quantity of muskets were taken, together with a barrel of gun powder, twelve horses with their saddles and harness, five carriages, five drums, &c. &c. in a word, five companies of Chouans, who were at St. Christophe's, were entirely cut to pieces. Several of their leaders fell in that action. The Chaplain of Charles's division, a refractory priest, who had rendered himself notorious for his crimes in the department of La Sarthe, was taken and shot, as also a person of the name of Boulevey. The horse of the former is among those that are taken.
Such was the surprise and consternation of the enemy, that they had not a moment's reflection to attempt the least resistance. We did not lose a man; nor was even a man wounded. I have the highest praises to bestow on all the troops which I commanded, as well for their bravery as their discipline. I thrust terror into the brigands, and you will learn with pleasure that all the inhabitants are rising in a mass against them, and the public spirit is evidently regenerating. I left two of the Chouan chiefs in prison, not having had time to institute a military commission. I must set out without delay, in order not to leave the respite of a moment to the enemy. I shall take another opportunity for entering upon their trial—Charles was wounded in the shoulder in the battle of Mesle sur Sarthe, and Bhendelier is supposed to be among the dead: he fell in the action of this day.

Nantes, 2 Pluviôse, January 20.
General Brune has made an honourable exception in favour of our city, which is to remain in a state of siege, but it is not to be put out of the protection of the constitution.
Extract of the general orders of the army.
The army is informed that the constitution is suspended in the department of the Morbihan. May the insurgents who infest it renounce their error and reject the perfidious insinuations of the agents of England! But the insatiable of these insurgents is such that reason no longer maintains her empire over their minds. The commander in chief flatters himself he will still see displayed in the ranks of the republicans, that undaunted courage, and that invincible bravery which have so often covered them with glory.
Goque, chief of the Chouans, had ordered his troops to disband. Those who revolted against him, have pillaged and sacked his house.
All the troops of Chatillon have been disbanded but not without difficulty. They wished to shoot him; and a great part of them have passed over into Morbihan. Many other leaders of the Chouans have likewise run great danger from the violence of their men.
Brune, counsellor of State, General in chief, to the grand communes of Tours, Blois, Angers, Nantes, Rennes, and others occupied by the troops composing the army of the west.
Head quarters, at Nantes, 3 Pluviôse, 8th year of the republic, January 23, 1800.
Citizens, the pacification concluded by General Hedouville upon the two banks of the Loire, permits me to dispose of the troops which are now within your walls. Your courage was sufficient for your safety in time of danger; at present you have only to preserve yourselves from the ordinary disturbances which take place after civil war; and I rely with confidence upon your patriotic zeal and your love for the constitution. I invite you to assist in raising the contributions, and to take every measure in providing for the other wants of the troops. I shall soon have to announce to you that the departments of the west are tranquil.
(Signed) BRUNE.
Prevention better than Cure.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended.
DR. HAHN'S
Anti-bilious Pills.
WHICH have been attended with a degree of success, highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
Fads of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an invaluable preventative; a further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head aches, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S
Genuine Eye-water.
A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eye, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dulness, itching, and films in the eye, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight.
Tooth-ache Drops.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
The Anodyne Elixir.
For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and for pains in the face and neck.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
This medicine has never failed, in many thousands cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not half a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed.

MUTINY IN THE CONGRESS.
On the fourth instant, a most serious and alarming Mutiny broke out on board the Congress frigate of 36 guns, lying at Craney Island, four miles below the town of Norfolk. About two hundred of the Seamen of the spar deck, paraded on the forecastle, and gave three cheers as a signal for mutiny. Only three commissioned officers were on board the ship at the time—these were, the Captain, First Lieutenant, and Lieutenant Llewellyn, of the Marines. The business wore a dreadful aspect for some time, but was soon settled by the extraordinary exertions of the Marines, under the command of Lieutenant Llewellyn. Seven of the Ring-leaders were secured by their exertions, and deposited in Norfolk Jail. The mutiny took place at night; it was notwithstanding quelled without bloodshed.
A letter from an officer on board, states, that the Marines were paraded with uncommon alacrity, and stationed in the best possible positions. Captain Seven compliments them in the highest terms.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, April 15.
Mr. Thatcher, from the committee to whom was referred the amendment of the Senate to the bill to alter and establish fundy poll roads—made report that it would be expedient the House concur in all the amendments.
The report was agreed to.
Mr. D. Fofler brought in a bill in addition to the act intitled an act to prevent the carrying on the slave trade from the United States to any foreign place or country—which was read a first and second time; and committed for Thursday next.
Mr. Eggleston presented a petition of Carter Page, an officer during the Revolutionary War, praying to be allowed bounty lands, those heretofore granted by the state of Virginia not being valed. Referred to the Committee of the whole to whom is referred the report of the Committee of Claims on the petition of Temple Elliott and others.
A message was received from the Senate by Mr. Otis, their secretary, informing the House, that the Senate have passed the following bills with amendments, viz. An act to continue in force the act intitled an act to authorize the defence of merchant vessels of the United States against French depredations; and an act supplementary to the act intitled an act regulating trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes; and for preserving peace on the frontiers.
The House went into committee of the whole on the bill for the regulation of public auctions and magazines; Mr. Rutledge in the chair, when
Mr. Nicholas moved to strike out the second section, which provides that persons employed in the armories shall not be liable to any arrest, of civil process, during their term of service.
Messrs. Champlin and Elmont opposed this motion and Messrs. S. Smith and Nicholas spoke in favor of it; when the question was taken and agreed to; ayes 42; noes 27.
The third and fourth sections, which inflict corporal punishment for certain offences; were also stricken out on motion of Mr. Nicholas.
Mr. N. then moved to strike out the fifth section which inflicts a penalty on any person who shall entice a workman to quit the service; ayes 28; noes 43.
After further amending the bill, the committee rose, and it was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
Mr. Griswold brought in a bill to continue in force an act intitled an act laying an additional duty on salt imported into the United States, and for other purposes; which was read and referred to a committee of the whole for to-morrow.
Mr. Haper, from the committee appointed to confer with the Managers on the part of the Senate, on the subject of the disagreement of this House to the amendments of the Senate to the bill for establishing a General Stamp Office; made report, that the managers had agreed to a modification of the amendments.
This modification was agreed to by both houses.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the report of the Committee of Claims, on the petition of Temple Elliott and others. The petitioners pray the United States to grant them patents for certain lands given by the state of Virginia (the right to which had been previously ceded to the United States) for services rendered during the Revolutionary War; the report of the Committee is against the petitioners, and recommends that they have leave to withdraw their papers.
Messrs. New, H. Lee, Marshall, Eggleston, Nicholas, Champlin, and Randolph, opposed the report; and Messrs. D. Fofler, Gallatin, Bird, and Macon, defended it. The question on agreed to, the report, was then taken and negatived; ayes 21, noes 49.
Several other petitions having been referred to this committee, some debate took place whether they should not be taken into consideration; when a motion was made and carried that the committee rise, report progress, and adjourn to fit again.
A message was received from the Senate informing the house that they have passed a bill permitting the exportation of certain parcels of gun powder, muskets, and cutlasses—to which they request the concurrence of the house.—Adjourned.
