New-York, Nov. 21.
Yesterday arrived the brig Hector, Capt. Clark, in fifty two days from Liverpool.
A letter received by the Hector, dated Sept. 29, says, "We are all in a bustle, preparing for WAR; for this week past the press for seamen has been so hot, that no vessel, inward or outward bound, escaped being boarded. The man of war here, we believe, is so full of men, that they are obliged to let the outward bound vessels pass this day. It is, however, the general opinion, that we will not have war; but, that the present bold measure is to intimidate the French from interfering with the King of Prussia, in the work he has begun, of replacing the Stadholder. The present rumor has had no effect upon the prices of American and West-India produce." The letter concludes with observing, that, one week after its date would determine whether Great-Britain was to be at peace or war.
Liverpool papers to the 24th Sept are received by the Hector, from which we shall give extracts to-morrow.
The George, Capt. Hunter, arrived at Glasgow on the 18th Sept.
On Sunday next a CHARITY SERMON will be preached, and a Collection made, at the Old Presbyterian Church.
The FEDERALIST. No. VIII.
To the People of the State of New-York.
ASSUMING it therefore as an established truth that the several States, in case of disunion, or such combinations of them as might happen to be formed out of the wreck of the general Confederacy, would be subject to those vicissitudes of peace and war, of friendship and enmity with each other, which have fallen to the lot of all neighbouring nations not united under one government, let us enter into a concise detail of some of the consequences, that would attend such a situation.
War between the States, in the first period of their separate existence, would be accompanied with much greater distresses than it commonly is in those countries, where regular military establishments have long obtained. The disciplined armies always kept on foot on the continent of Europe, though they bear a malignant aspect to liberty and economy, have notwithstanding been productive of this signal advantage, of rendering sudden conquests impracticable, and of preventing that rapid desolation, which used to mark the progress of war, prior to their introduction. The art of fortification has contributed to the same ends. The nations of Europe are incircled with chains of fortified places, which mutually obstruct invasion. Campaigns are wasted in reducing two or three frontier garrisons, to gain admittance into an enemy's country. Similar impediments occur at every step, to exhaust the strength and delay the progress of an invader. Formerly an invading army would penetrate into the heart of a neighbouring country, almost as soon as intelligence of its approach could be received; but now a comparatively small force of disciplined troops, acting on the defensive with the aid of posts, is able to impede and finally to frustrate the enterprises of one much more considerable. The history of war, in that quarter of the globe, is no longer a history of nations subdued and empires overturned, but of towns taken and retaken, of battles that decide nothing, of retreats more beneficial than victories, of much effort and little acquisition.
In this country the scene would be altogether reversed. The jealousy of military establishments, would postpone them as long as possible. The want of fortifications leaving the frontiers of one State open to another, would facilitate invasions. The more populous states would with little difficulty overrun their less populous neighbours. Conquests would be as easy to be made, as difficult to be retained. War therefore would be desultory and predatory. PLUNDER and devastation ever march in the train of irregulars. The calamities of individuals would make the principal figure in the events, which would characterise our military exploits.
This picture is not too highly wrought, though I confess, it would not long remain a just one. Safety from external danger is the most powerful director of national conduct. Even the ardent love of liberty will, after a time, give way to its dictates. The violent destruction of life and property incident to war—the continual effort and alarm attendant on a State of continual danger, will compel nations the most attached to liberty to resort, for repose and security, to institutions, which have a tendency to destroy their civil and political rights. To be more safe they, at length, become willing to run the risk of being less free.
The institutions alluded to are STANDING ARMIES, and the correspondent appendages of military establishments. Standing armies it is said are not provided against in the new Constitution; and it is
therefore inferred, that they may exist under it*. Their existence however from the very terms of the proposition, is, at most, problematical and uncertain. But standing armies, it may be replied, must inevitably result from a dissolution of the Confederacy. Frequent war and constant apprehension, which requires a State of constant preparation, will infallibly produce them. The weaker States or Confederacies, would first have recourse to them, to put themselves upon an equality with their more potent neighbors. They would endeavor to supply the inferiority of population and resources, by a more regular and effective system of defence, by disciplined troops and by fortifications. They would, at the same time, be necessitated to strengthen the executive arm of Government; in doing which, their constitutions would acquire a progressive direct on towards monarchy. It is of the nature of war to increase the executive at the expence of the legislative authority.
The expedients which have been mentioned, would soon give the States or Confederacies that made use of them, a superiority over their neighbors. Small States, or States of less natural strength, under vigorous Governments, and with the assistance of disciplined armies, have often triumphed over larger States, or States of greater natural strength, which have been destitute of these advantages. Neither the pride, nor the safety of the more important States, or Confederacies, would permit them long to submit to this mortifying and adventitious inferiority. They would quickly resort to means similar to those by which it had been effected, to reinstate themselves in their lost pre-eminence. Thus we should in a little time see established in every part of this country, the same engines of despotism, which have been the scourge of the old world. This at least would be the natural course of things, and our reasonings will be the more likely to be just, in proportion as they are accommodated to this standard.
These are not vague inferences drawn from supposed or speculative defects in a Constitution, the whole power of which is lodged in the hands of the people, or their representatives, and delegates, but they are solid conclusions drawn from the natural and necessary progress of human affairs.
It may perhaps be asked, by way of objection to this, why did not standing armies spring up out of the contentions which so often distracted the ancient republics of Greece? Different answers equally satisfactory may be given to this question. The industrious habits of the people of the present day, absorbed in the pursuits of gain, and devoted to the improvements of agriculture and commerce, are incompatible with the condition of a nation of soldiers, which was the true condition of the people of those republics. The means of revenue, which have been so greatly multiplied by the encrease of gold and silver, and of the arts of industry, and the science of finance, which is the offspring of modern times, concurring with the habits of nations, have produced an entire revolution in the system of war, and have rendered disciplined armies, distinct from the body of the citizens, the inseparable companion of frequent hostility.
There is a wide difference also, between military establishments in a country, seldom exposed by its situation to internal invasions, and in one which is often subject to them, and always apprehensive of them. The rulers of the former can have no good pretext, if they are even so inclined, to keep on foot armies so numerous as must of necessity be maintained in the latter. These armies being, in the first case, rarely, if at all, called into activity for interior defence, the people are in no danger of being broken to military subordination. The laws are not accustomed to relaxations, in favor of military exigencies—the civil State remains in full vigor, neither corrupted nor confounded with the principles or propensities of the other State. The smallness of the army renders the natural strength of the community an overmatch for it; and the citizens, not habituated to look up to the military power for protection, or to submit to its oppressions, neither love nor fear the soldiery: they view them with a spirit of jealous acquiescence in a necessary evil, and stand ready to resist a power, which they suppose may be exerted to the prejudice of their rights. The army, under such circumstances, may usefully aid the Magistrate to suppress a small faction, or an occasional mob, or insurrection; but it will be unable to enforce encroachments against the united efforts of the great body of the people.
In a country, in the predicament last described, the contrary of all this happens. The perpetual menacings of danger oblige the Government to be always prepared to repel it—its armies must be numerous e-
* This objection will be fully examined in its proper place, and it will be shown that the only natural recarion which could have been taken on this subject has been taken; and a much better one than is to be found in any constitution that has been heretofore framed in America, most of which contain no guard at all on this subject.
nough for instant defence. The continual necessity for their services enhances the importance of the soldier, and proportionably degrades the condition of the citizen. The military state becomes elevated above the civil. The inhabitants of territories, often the theatre of war, are unavoidably subjected to frequent infringement on their rights, which serve to weaken their sense of those rights; and by degrees, the people are brought to consider the soldiery not only as their protectors, but as their superiors. The transition from this disposition to that of considering them as masters, is neither remote, nor difficult: But it is very difficult to prevail upon a people under such impressions, to make a bold, or effectual resistance to usurpations, supported by the military power.
The kingdom of Great Britain falls within the first description. An insular situation, and a powerful marine, guarding it in a great measure against the possibility of foreign invasion, supersede the necessity of a numerous army within the kingdom. A sufficient force to make head against a sudden descent, till the militia could have time to rally and embody, is all that has been deemed requisite. No motive of national policy have demanded, nor would public opinion have tolerated a larger number of troops upon its domestic establishment. There has been, for a long time past, little room for the operation of the other causes, which have been enumerated as the consequences of internal war. This peculiar felicity of situation has, in a great degree, contributed to preserve the liberty, which that country to this day enjoys, in spite of the prevalent venality and corruption. If, on the contrary, Britain had been situated on the continent, and had been compelled, as she would have been, by that situation, to make her military establishments at home co-extensive with those of the other great powers of Europe, she, like them, would in all probability, be at this day a victim to the absolute power of a single man. 'Tis possible, though not easy, that the people of that island may be enslaved from other causes, but it cannot be by the prowess of an army so inconsiderable as that which has been usually kept up in that kingdom.
If we are wise enough to preserve the Union, we may for ages enjoy an advantage similar to that of an insular situation. Europe is at a great distance from us—Her colonies in our vicinity, will be likely to continue too much disproportioned in strength to be able to give us any dangerous annoyance. Extensive military establishments cannot, in this position, be necessary to our security. But if we should be disunited and the integral parts should, either remain separated, or which is most probable, should be thrown together into two or three Confederacies, we should be, in a short course of time, in the predicament of the continental powers of Europe—our liberties would be a prey to the means of defending ourselves against the ambition and jealousy of each other.
This is an idea not superficial nor futile, but solid and weighty. It deserves the most serious and mature consideration of every prudent and honest man of whatever party. If such men will make a firm and solemn pause, and meditate dispassionately on the importance of this interesting idea; if they will contemplate it, in all its attitudes, and trace it to all its consequences, they will not hesitate to part with trivial objections to a Constitution, the rejection of which would in all probability put a final period to the Union. The airy phantoms that flit before the distempered imaginations of some of its adversaries, would quickly give place to the more substantial forms of dangers, real, certain, and formidable.

No. IX.
A Firm Union will be of the utmost moment to the peace and liberty of the States, as a barrier against domestic faction and insurrection. It is impossible to read the history of the petty Republics of Greece and Italy, without feeling sensations of horror and disgust, at the distraction with which they were continually agitated, and at the rapid succession of revolutions, by which they were kept in a state of perpetual vibration, between the extremes of tyranny and anarchy. If they exhibit occasional calms, these only serve as short-lived contrasts to the furious storms, that are to succeed. If, now and then, intervals of felicity open themselves to view, we behold them with a mixture of regret, arising from the reflection, that the pleasing scenes before us are soon to be overwhelmed by the tempestuous waves of sedition and party-rage. If momentary rays of glory break forth from the gloom, while they dazzle us with transient and fleeting brilliancy, they, at the same time, admonish us to lament, that the vices of Government should prevent the direction, and tarnish the lustre of those bright talents and exalted endowments, for which the favored soils, that produced them, have been so justly celebrated.
From the disorders, that disgrace the annals of those Republics, the advocates of
despotism have drawn arguments, not only against the forms of Republican Government, but against the very principles of civil liberty. They have decried all free Governments as inconsistent with the order of society, and have indulged themselves in malicious exultation over its friends and partisans. Happily for mankind, stupendous fabrics reared on the basis of liberty, which have flourished for ages, have, in a few glorious instances, refuted their gloomy sophisms. And, I trust, America will be the broad and solid foundation of other edifices, not less magnificent, which will be equally permanent monuments of their errors.
But it is not to be denied, that the portraits they have sketched of Republican Government, were too just copies of the originals from which they were taken. If it had been found impracticable to have devised models of a more perfect structure, the enlightened friends to liberty would have been obliged to abandon the cause of that species of Government, as indefensible. The science of politics, however, like most other sciences, has received great improvements. The efficacy of various principles is now well understood, which were either not known at all, or imperfectly known to the ancients. The regular distribution of power into distinct departments—the introduction of legislative balances and checks—the institution of Courts composed of Judges, holding their offices during good behavior—the representation of the people in the Legislature, by Deputies of their own election—these are either wholly new discoveries, or have made their principal progress towards perfection in modern times. They are means, and powerful means, by which the excellencies of Republican Government may be retained, and its imperfections lessened, or avoided. To this catalogue of circumstances, that tend to the amelioration of popular systems of civil government, I shall venture (however novel it may appear to some) to add one more, on a principle, which has been made the foundation of an objection to the new Constitution, I mean the ENLARGEMENT of the ORBIT, within which such systems are to revolve, either in respect to the dimensions of a single State, or to the consolidation of several smaller States into one great Confederacy. The latter is that which immediately concerns the object under consideration. It will, however, be of use to examine the principle, in its application to a single State, which shall be attended to in another place.
The utility of a Confederacy, as well to suppress faction, and to guard the internal tranquility of States, as to encrease their external force and security, is in reality not a mere idea. It has been practiced upon, in different countries and ages, and has received the sanction of the most applauded writers, on the subjects of politics. The opponents of the PLAN proposed, have, with great assiduity, cited and circulated the observations of Montesquieu, on the necessity of a contracted territory for a Republican Government. But they seem not to have been apprised of the sentiments of that great man, expressed in another part of his work, nor to have adverted to the consequences of the principle, to which they subscribe with such ready acquiescence.
When Montesquieu recommends a small extent for Republics, the standards he had in view, were of dimensions far short of the limits of almost every one of these States. Neither Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New-York, North-Carolina, nor Georgia, can by any means be compared with the models from which he reasoned, and to which the terms of his description apply. If we therefore take his ideas on this point, as the criterion of truth, we shall be driven to the alternative, either of taking refuge at once in the arms of Monarchy, or of splitting ourselves into an infinity of little, jealous, clashing, tumultuous commonwealths, the wretched nurseries of unceasing discord, and the miserable objects of universal pity, or contempt. Some of the writers, who have come forward on the other side of the question, seem to have been aware of this dilemma, and have even been bold enough to hint at the division of the larger States, as a desirable thing. Such an infatuated policy, such a desperate expedient might, by the multiplication of petty officers, answer the views of men, who possess not qualifications to extend their influence beyond the narrow circles of personal intrigue, but it could never promote the greatness, or happiness, of the people of America.
Referring the examination of the principle itself to another place, as has been already mentioned, it will be sufficient to remark here, that in the sense of the author, who has been most emphatically quoted upon the occasion, it would only dictate a reduction of the size of the more considerable MEMBERS of the Union, but would not militate against their being all comprehended in one Confederate Government. And this is the true question, in the discussion of which, we are at present interested.
So far are the suggestions of Montesquieu from standing in opposition to a general Union of the States, that he explicitly treats of a CONFEDERATE REPUBLIC, as the

expedient for extending the sphere of popular Government, and reconciling the advantages of Monarchy with those of Republicanism.
"It is very probable (says he *) that mankind would have been obliged, at length, to live constantly under the Government of A SINGLE PERSON, had they not contrived a kind of Constitution, that has all the internal advantages of a Republican, together with the external force of a Monarchical Government. I mean a CONFEDERATED REPUBLIC.
"This form of Government is a Convention, by which several smaller States agree to become members of a larger one, which they intend to form. It is a kind of assemblage of societies, that constitute a new one, capable of encreasing by means of new associations; 'till they arrive to such a degree of power, as to be able to provide for the security of the united body.
"A Republic of this kind, able to withstand an external force, may support itself without any internal corruption: the form of this society prevents all manner of inconveniences.
"If a single member should attempt to usurp the supreme authority, he could not be supposed to have an equal authority and credit in all the Confederate States. Were he to have too great influence over one, this would alarm the rest. Were he to subdue a part, that which would still remain free might oppose him with forces, independent of those which he had usurped, and overpower him before he could be settled in his usurpation.
"Should a popular insurrection happen in one of the Confederate States, the others are able to quell it. Should abuses creep into one part, they are reformed by those that remain bound. The State may be destroyed on one side, and not on the other; the Confederacy may be dissolved, and the Confederates preserve their Sovereignty.
"As the Government is composed of small Republics, it enjoys the internal happiness of each; and with respect to its external situation, it is possessed, by means of the Association, of all the advantages of large Monarchies."
I have thought it proper to quote at length these interesting passages, because they contain a luminous abridgment of the principal arguments in favor of the Union, and must effectually remove the false impressions, which a misapplication of other parts of the work was calculated to make. They have, at the same time, an intimate connection with the more immediate design of this paper; which is, to illustrate the tendency of the Union to repress domestic faction and insurrection.
A distinction, more subtle than accurate, has been raised between a CONFEDERACY and a CONSOLIDATION of the States. The essential characteristic of the first is said to be -- the restriction of its authority to the members in their collective capacities, without reaching to the individuals, of whom they are composed. It is contended, that the National Council ought to have no concern with any object of internal administration. An exact equality of suffrage, between the Members, has also been insisted upon, as a leading feature of a Confederate Government. These positions are, in the main, arbitrary; they are supported neither by principle, nor precedent. It has, indeed, happened, that Governments of this kind, have generally operated in the manner which the distinction takes notice of -- supposes to be inherent in their nature; but there have been, in most of them, extensive exceptions to the practice, which serve to prove, as far as example will go, that there is no absolute rule on the subject. And it will be clearly shewn, in the course of this investigation, that, as far as the principle contended for has prevailed, it has been the cause of incurable disorder and imbecility in the Government.
The definition of a Confederate Republic seems simply to be, "an assemblage of societies," or an Association of two or more States into one State. The extent, modifications and objects of the Federal authority, are mere matters of discretion. So long as the separate organization of the members be not abolished; so long as it exists, by a constitutional necessity, for local purposes; though it should be in perfect subordination to the general authority of the Union, it would still be, in fact and in theory, an Association of States, or a Confederacy. The proposed Constitution, so far from implying an abolition of the State Governments, makes them constituent parts of the National Sovereignty, by allowing them a direct representation in the Senate, and leaves in their possession certain exclusive and very important portions of Sovereign power. This fully corresponds, in every rational import of the terms, with the idea of a FEDERAL Government.
In the Lycian Confederacy, which consisted of twenty-three CITIES, or Republics, the largest were entitled to three votes in the COMMON COUNCIL, those of the middle class to two, and the smallest to one. The COMMON COUNCIL had the ap-
* Spirit of Laws, Vol. 1. Book ix. Chap. 1.
pointment of all the Judges and Magistrates of the respective CITIES. This was, certainly, the most delicate species of interference in their internal administration; for if there be any thing, that seems exclusively appropriated to the local jurisdictions, it is the appointment of their own Officers. Yet Montesquieu, speaking of this Association, says, "Were I to give a model of an excellent Confederate Republic, it would be that of Lycia." Thus we perceive, that the distinctions insisted upon, were not within the contemplation of this enlightened Civilian; and we shall be led to conclude, that they are the novel refinements of an erroneous theory.

A CAUTION to OWNERS and MASTERS of VESSELS, THAT they beware of rigging which is made of Holland yarn; for it is made in great quanti- ties and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a base quality, that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind; it is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its evil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and it is prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun of short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured in- to sail-cloth in Holland.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENUS and CO. have -repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have -procured the best workmen, together with the ne- -cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufacture of Cast -Iron in the completest and best manner.
Callings made in an Air Furnace, are al- -lowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of -Foundries; to be better than what is made in a Blast -Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is -made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by -its being melted a second time, the Scoria, or dross, -is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Callings are made out of -the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less -mix with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough -and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the differ- -ence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- -tween refined and Bloomery Iron. — The ware they -have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as -light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from -Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware be- -ing as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, -for an American, to give the preference to the manu- -factures of his own country; but a more powerful ar- -gument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, -that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported -ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton -being laid on foreign callings.
The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists -of the following articles, viz. Pots and kettles of various sizes, from -one to fifteen gallons, tea kettles, pye-pans, skil- -lets, griddles, porash kettles and coolers, whaling- -kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, -stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cakes, cast bars for su- -gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for flit- -ting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, -cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close -stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves nearly deco- -rated with carved work, Bath stove-grates elegantly -ornamented with carvings, ship's caboules of the -new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which -the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the -bread; mill-rounds and gudgeons, saw-mill cranks, -calcining plates for making pearlash, cast iron -crews for tallow and paper-mills, fullers plates cast -to any size that may be wanted, fash-weights, for ge- -hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred- -quarters, fourteen and a seven pound weights; cart, -waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c.

He served his time with Samuel Prince, a conspi- -cuous character in his way, and esteemed one of -the best workmen in this city; and as he has laid -a stock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and -means to employ the best hands, and still his work at -the lowest rate good work falls at, he flatters himself -with being able to give satisfaction to his customers. Bed Chairs for the sick having been much wanted -in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. Nov. 10. tf
