FROM THE AMERICAN MUSEUM.
REFLECTIONS on the STATE of the UNION.
Reflections on the manufactures of the United States, as they affect the mercantile interest.
S OME of the benefits to the coaling trade and other parts of the domestic commerce resulting from manufactures, have already been intimated in treating of the manufacture of liquors. Besides these, bark and hides for the tanners, iron, lead, steel, copper, hemp, flax, wool, cotton, silk, wood, timber, furs, tobacco, flaxseed and grain for the manufacturers of those articles, and provisions, fuel, indigo and other objects of their consumption and use, together with the goods made by them, are, and constantly will be purchased, transported from place to place, and field, creating a great part of the employment for 110,000 tons of coaling vessels, exercising a large portion of commercial industry and skill, and affording a return of profits on a very considerable sum of mercantile capital employed in the business. This branch of our trade is of peculiar importance because we have no transmarine colonies, and while the redundancy of shipping owned by most nations will leave us but little chance of materially increasing our vessels in the foreign trades, the extension we may give in the course of ten years to our home trade, will probably be very great. We have brought cotton, sugar and fustic to manufacture from India, sulphur from the Adriatic, hemp, flax and iron from Russia, copper from Sweden, furs, indigo and mahogany from the Gulf of Mexico, and coal for our workmen from England: and we cannot doubt, therefore, that we shall transport those commodities and others, from such of the States as produce them, to those which shall create or have already established a manufacturing demand.
Foreign commerce being limited by the combined value of our imports and exports, any mercantile capital, which accumulates beyond the sum requisite for those purposes, would want employment of a commercial nature, if the merchant were not able to have recourse to manufactures. This is not a mere speculation in possible events; for considerable trading houses and others of respectable standing, have actually entered into such pursuits. Glass-houses, rope-walks, powder mills, iron works, steel works, fluting and rolling mills, grist mills, naileries, sugar refineries, breweries and distilleries, the manufactory of salt cloth, and of woolen, cotton and linen goods, exhibit at this moment numerous proofs of the fact.
It is too well known to need more than a bare allegation of the truth, that our outward bound vessels are always completely laden, and that they do not on a medium return half full. It will, therefore, increase the profits of the owners of ships, if the outward cargo can be rendered more valuable by manufacturing the goods to be exported. This may be exemplified in regard to wheat and the simple manufacture of superfine flour. A vessel which will carry ten thousand bushels of the former, at the price of a dollar per bushel, will be laden for ten thousand dollars; but the quantity of superfine flour (3,000 barrels) which the same vessel could receive, will amount, at a proportionate price, to the sum of fifteen thousand dollars. The same quantity of tonnage, filled with bottled porter, distilled spirits, steel, cordage, starch, pearl ashes, carriages, cabinet wares, plate, candles, soap, linseed oil, paper, hats, shoes, &c. would rise to a much greater value; and of consequence, the owners of the vessels must be able to purchase more goods for the return cargo, by which the vessel being fuller, would make a greater sum in freight back. This circumstance is rendered of the more consequence by reason of our distance from the greater part of the consumers of our surplus produce; and it is obvious that ships will then be most profitable, when the measurement of all our imports shall be equal to the measurement of all our exports. Vessels which depart and return fully laden, cannot fail to enrich their owners.
No arguments will be necessary to convince the judicious and reflecting mind, that the employment of large capitals and of many merchants and traders, is most certain and easy, where there is the greatest number and variety of objects to buy and sell. As our commercial towns, therefore, have offered manufactured commodities to those who come thither, they have increased in business. Potash, pearl ash, country rum, domestic liquors, loaf sugar, &c. have already contributed to swell their exports, by attracting foreign demand, or increasing the number of profitable objects of shipment. These will naturally multiply under the hands of our manufacturers, and instead of mark-
ets, in which nothing but lumber, tobacco, flock, provisions and raw materials were formerly to be obtained, our seaports will be converted into magazines, in which all those articles will be purchasable, and the various commodities manufactured from them. For these goods in whatever shape, purchasers will never be wanting:—cheap merchandise as certainly attracts buyers, as water finds its level. Nor is this mere sanguine hope or ingenious suggestion; for it is an obvious truth, that the greatest manufacturing nations in the old world, are the greatest traders to foreign parts. Holland, when most remarkable for manufactures, traded to the amount of eighty millions of dollars per annum in the commodities of other countries.
A few general reflections on American manufactures.
The political concord and attachments, which grow out of mutual benefits are the most rational and permanent. In this view, the time, which will be given to the national union, by the interchange of raw materials, provisions, fuel and manufactures among the several States, is of inestimable value. If European nations have a disposition of amity and mutual forbearance on these considerations, it cannot be doubted that the United States will evince equal wisdom and virtue. If any parts of our union, from policy or temporary necessity for manufactured supplies, have been willing to exhibit the greatest liberality towards those foreigners, with whom they have been recently at the widest variance, it must appear very desirable, that the capacity at once to accommodate them and engage their regard, should be transferred from distant strangers, to their own continent, and their own kindred. If the merchants and manufacturers of the opulent nation with whom the United States so long waged war, influenced by the hope of our consumption, cried aloud for peace, and, on the moment of its return, pressed with all the courtesies of commerce to our shores, the existing friendship of the several parts of the union for each other, must be strengthened by similar instances, as they shall be progressively created.
The animated prosecution and liberal encouragement of manufactures, is at this moment a great political duty. The national legislature has increased the import on foreign merchandise, to defray the expenses of the Indian war. The continuance of a great part of the duties is to be no longer than that of the hostilities which occasion them to be laid. If the interval should be diligently employed in the promotion of manufactures, and to protect the temporary injuries of the Indian war will be accompanied and followed by great, solid and permanent benefits. The military expense is rendered less burdensome, by the employment given to our own workmen. The shoes, boots, horsemen's caps, hats, buckles, buttons, fadings, spears, rifles, gunpowder, and other articles for the use of the army are made by American manufacturers. It is perceived, that war, which often interrupts foreign commerce and generally diminishes the prices of agricultural productions for exportation, has in this instance no effects of that nature; but by judicious arrangements, may be rendered instrumental to the greatest support of the landed interest—the national manufacturers. The lamentable havoc of the field must inevitably diminish the number of our citizens; but there is every reason to believe, that those, who, in the course of the present war, may fall under the banners of their country, will prove inferior in number to those who will be drawn, by the influence of the new duties, from foreign countries, to the standard of American manufactures: and although the most useful arts are no compensation for the lives of our compatriots, the acquisition of a great number of new citizens will counterbalance the political evil resulting from such a loss, so far as it may unhappily occur.
It is detrimental to the United States that the manufactures they consume are drawn from nations whose citizens pay much greater contributions to their government than our manufacturers, and consequently that we so far forth are subject to their taxes, imposts, and excises. In Great Britain, for example, their national taxes are seven times as large as ours, in proportion to the number of people in the two countries; and their poor rates and church rates are each more than double our whole national contributions. The monopolies of those countries fall heavily upon the consumers, among their citizens; and those, who purchase their fabrics, bear a part of this burden, which lies on their manufactures. The commercial charges paid by the English East-India company abroad, amount to one million of dollars per annum; the freight and charges in England are about two million and two thirds more, exclusively of duties. The company's civil and military charges would, in two years like the present, pay all the expenses of our government, and discharge our national debt. The restrictions on navigation and trade in the European nations also enhance the price of raw materials and articles of consumption, required by their manufactures, all which falls ultimately upon the people of the United States, so far as their fabrics are consumed here. These considerations should induce our most strenuous exertions, to diminish those indirect burdens, and at the same time they hold out strong promises of a successful issue to our efforts.
In taking a view of the affairs of the United States, and comparing them with the situation of most of the great commercial nations of Europe, the mind is immediately impressed with the peculiarity of their being without transmarine colonies. Though speculative politicians have entertained doubts in regard to favorable effects from such possessions, taking into view the expenses of their improvement, defence, and government, no question has been made but that the monopoly of their
trade greatly increases the commerce of the nations to which they are appurtenant. Of such an advantage the United States do not enjoy the benefit; and considering this circumstance, and the prevailing disposition to restrict their commerce, the fisheries, the coaling trade, and manufactures appear to merit extraordinary attention.
The consideration of manufactures, upon general principles, has been, for several years, before the legislatures as well of the States, as of the Union. The estimation of their importance to the landed and national interests appears to have been yearly heightened by discussion and enquiries into facts. Household manufactures have acquired universal and decided approbation. To those which are conducted by labor-saving machinery and other processes, by horses and oxen, and which consequently do not require manual operations, no objection has been made. Such of them as can be carried on by manufacturers now among us, by those who may migrate hither, by the wives and children of our citizens, and by black women, old men, and children, have not been considered as diminishing the mass of agricultural industry, but as manifestly promoting it by new and extensive demands.
The present discussion of the subject will be terminated by remarking, that although this great subdivision of our political economy has been copiously and freely treated in every mode, it has not only preserved its original importance in the public judgment, but has risen to the estimation of the people in every part of the union—a fate that rarely attends unimportant truths or dangerous errors in an enlightened country.

EXTRACTS.
M AN is a short-lived being; he takes a turn on the stage of life, and disappears: But he departs with regret, and calls a longing, lingering look behind him—yet go he must; and to perpetuate his existence, has no alternative but in his children: These he is therefore to consider as parts, and the only abiding parts, of himself; and in this way he may be perpetuated to the latest generation. If therefore he
wishes a consecutive train of felicitous for himself, he must wish the same for his posterity, who are parts of himself in continuance. He ought therefore to abandon and despise every vicious habit, and apply his fortune and his earnings to their comfortable maintenance and mental improvement; nor ought self-interest to be his only motive; 'tis a duty he owes to society to furnish it with useful members, and his country with citizens and soldiers."
"HOW frivolous appears the gaudy equipage and the splendid mansion, compared with the proud integrity of honor—and the dignity of an independent mind.—Let it often occur to those who are entering on the fair career of public life, that though industry and talents will not always command success, yet a spotless character will secure esteem—and that a fortune is only honorable when it has been earned by virtue."
[The following remarks on Air may not be unseasonable at this season of the year—especially as many other disadvantages attending confined, or which is the same, unwholesome air, might be mentioned.]
"IT is now certainly known that the breathing of a grown person vitiates a gallon of air every minute, rendering it unfit for respiration. A number of people, therefore, confined in a small close apartment, must soon fill it with putrid vapor."
"It is a fact, equally well ascertained, that noxious vapours are lighter than pure air, and are therefore perpetually endeavoring to ascend."
"The exit of these vapors should be promoted by every possible mean in our power."
"Air, in fact, being the best vehicle for carrying off putrid vapors, is ought to have as free a passage thro' all parts of a house as possible."
"Frequent white-washings with lime and water would contribute greatly to purify the vitiated air; and it is evident that cleanliness in the floors, dress, and every other particular, ought to be attended to as much as circumstances may permit."

BOSTON, June 30.
[A very obliging correspondent has favored the Editor with the following extract of a letter, dated]
Haore, April 29, 1797. "Before you receive this you will probably have heard of France having decided on war against Austria. Altho the maritime power of the latter is much confined, yet as there may be some privateers out of Ostend, and others cruising under the Austrian flag; we have, through our friends, suggested to the Minister the necessity of giving a convoy to the French ships home from America.
"The plan proposed is, that the convoy should sail from the Chesapeake every 6 weeks, from the 15th June to the 15th November, for Brest, from whence the ships for the channel will be sent on with one convoy, and those for the Bay and Mediterranean by another. We have every assurance that this plan will be adopted; and we are promised that it will be speedily announced to you by the French Minister, or Consul in America."
LEGISLATURE OF MASSACHUSETTS.
The session, it is supposed will close this day.—Of public business, the principal object which has been discussed since our last, has been that of districting the Commonwealth—Many reports, and many amendments of reports, have been made—Last evening the business was brought to a close, by the concurrence of the House with
the Senate, in one of the amended reports; and a committee was raised to report a Resolution conformable thereto.
[By this report, the state is divided into four districts. No. 1, consisting of Suffolk, Essex, and Middlesex, to choose Four Representatives—No. 2, consisting of Worcester, Hampshire, and Berkshire, to choose Four—No. 3, consisting of Plymouth, Barnstable, Bristol, Dukes-County, and Nantucket, to choose Two—No. 4, consisting of the Province of Maine, to choose Three—making Thirteen.—To complete the number to 14, the three first districts, at large, are to choose the other Representative.]
JULY 2.
In the House of Representatives on Friday last, the committee on the pay roll reported the same, amounting to the sum of Two thousand one hundred and six pounds, twelve shillings.
Same day, an engrossed bill in addition to an act entitled an act for incorporating certain persons for the purpose of building a bridge over Charles river—was read, and passed to be enacted.
Sent up for concurrence.
On Saturday the House concurred in the amendment of the Senate, in the Resolve providing for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President.
The Hon. T. Skinner, Esq. brought down a Resolve empowering the Governor to provide an entertainment in the Senate Chamber the 4th July. In Senate, June 30, sent down for concurrence.
In the House, Read and non concurred.
A committee (consisting of Messrs. Heath, Dawes, and Lyman, on the part of the Senate; and Messrs. Robbins, Eustis, Kinsley and Collins on the part of the House) was chosen, to request his excellency the governor, to adjourn the court to the first Wednesday in November next.
The committee reported, that they had waited upon his excellency the governor, and delivered the message, and he informed them that though it would have given him great pleasure to comply with the request of the legislature, yet that the duty he owed to his constituents and to the oath he was under, forbid him to grant a recess to the court that evening; when the resolve for districting the commonwealth, which was of the highest importance to the state, and which had occupied so much time of the legislature, had been before him only twenty minutes—that he had not even read it through—that his conscience and his duty forbid him to give it his signature, till he had had an opportunity to consider the subject with that deliberation which the importance of it required—that the moment he had done that, he would send the secretary with the information, and grant them a recess.
The House then adjourned to Monday ten o'clock.
PROVIDENCE, June 30.
The Hon. General Assembly of this state, which met last week at Newport, adjourned on Saturday without day.
Among a variety of other business, the General Assembly, in their late session, passed an act incorporating three societies, for the purpose of constructing three bridges—one over the upper, and another over the lower ferry, on Seacunk river, and a third over Howland's ferry. The two former will greatly accommodate this town, and the neighboring towns in the state of Massachusetts; and the latter must prove highly advantageous to the island of Rhode-Island, by connecting it with the main.
On Thursday afternoon the first pier of Weybosset bridge was erected.
ALBANY, July 2.
On Saturday evening at 7 o'clock arrived in town JOHN JAY, esq. the gentleman who at the late election had a majority of legal votes for governor of this state. He arrived on the morning of that day at Lansingburg, and was entertained at Platt's inn, by the respectable citizens of that place, who at five o'clock, conducted him to Troy, where he crossed the river and was saluted on his landing with fifteen discharges of a field-piece, by a detachment of the Albany inde-
pendent artillery company, and a volley from the troop of horse;—after which he went into a carriage preceded by the troop of horse, and followed in procession, by numbers of citizens in carriages and on horseback to this city, and was conducted to the seat of General Schuyler, where the whole company were most hospitably and politely regaled; after which the whole dispersed with perfect harmony and good order. We are informed that Mr. Jay will favor a number of citizens with his company at dinner, at the city-tavern, this day; and to-morrow will proceed on his way to New-York.
From a correspondent. On Saturday evening last, as Mr. Chief Justice Jay, and Mr. Chief Justice Yates, (the two late unsuccessful candidates for governor of this state in succession) were making their entry into this city, together in a coach, and were passing the window where a circle of Clintonians had assembled over a jovial bottle, the following old celebrated toast was given—"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
NEW-BRUNSWICK, July 3.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Kentucky, to his friend in Somerset, dated Washington, Mason county, April 30th, 1792.
Mr. William Chambers went from his store at this place, to the Falls of Ohio, February 25th, in a small open boat, loaded with flour, whiskey, and dry goods, he had two men and a boy with him, and two women and several children went passengers. Between the Miamies and the mouth of Kentucky river, he was fired upon from the indian shore—the Indians whoop'd and followed him down the river about half a mile to a small creek where they had their canoes, they got into them, eighteen in number, one canoe pushed across the river to the Kentucky shore, and the others pursued the boat, kept up a continual firing and yelling as they went.—Mr. Chambers had two muskets and one blunderbuss in the boat; but was badly provided with ball, and was obliged to cut bar lead into slugs—when the Indians came within shot he returned the fire, which put a stop to their whooping, yet pursued and fired as fast as they could, until they got within thirty or forty yards of the boat, Mr. Chambers then fired the blunderbuss, the noise of which they seemed not to like, some of them no doubt felt, very sensibly, the consequence. They had now pursued the boat about three miles, they then turned and went back; the boat's crew received no damage, except a slight wound Mr. Chambers received in one of his fingers. The defence made by Mr. Chambers, considering the situation he was in, is thought here to be the best ever made on the river.
The Indians in cases of this kind do not fight but under great advantages, and then by their hideous yellings, so alarm and disconcert the passengers, that they frequently fall an easy prey to their savage barbarity.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
I OBSERVE a publication in the National Gazette of the 4th inst. advises the Editor not to employ much of his paper in replying to the "court paragraphs," &c. which appear in the Gazette of the United States; this is agreeable to what fell from the same writer, as I suppose, in a former number of that paper—who appears to be afraid of disseminating the sentiments contained in the Gazette of the United States. Now, Mr. FENNO, I hope the writers in your paper will adopt a different line of conduct—and as they have begun, will go on to set in a conspicuous point of view the principles and representations contained in that NATIONAL paper.
It carries a title with it, which, if its assertions and insinuations are not detected and exposed, may lead to very serious errors and mistakes—It is happy for our country, that the real state of things does not correspond with the gloomy draft, which the pencil of a junta has been more than nine months sketching.—Facts, speak in an irresistible tone; what do they proclaim? that since the creation, the idea contained in the following sentence was never so fully realized in any quarter of the globe as in the United States—"That every man sits quietly under his own vine, and under his own fig-tree, and has none to make him afraid."
CRITO.
* The succeeding paper however, contained a column, which its author supposed was wrote at the Gazette of the United States.

Philadelphia, July 11.
IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.
By the Olive Branch, Capt. Calder, arrived at Boston, and the York pilot-boat, arrived at New-York, both from London, after short passages, papers are received to the 2d June, they contain the following interesting information.
In the Bruisels Gazette of the 4th May is an account published by the government,—That on 29th April a body of French troops advanced near Tourney; they were attacked by one regiment and seven companies of foot and four squadrons of dragoons, that after the Austrians had fired some pieces of cannon the French retreated precipitately beyond the Austrian frontiers—with the loss of two dragoons, and several horses killed, forty soldiers taken prisoners and four pieces of artillery. On the side of the Austrians none killed, wounded or missing.
On the same day another body of French troops, under the command of Monsr. de Biron, entered the Austrian territory, and advanced beyond Bouffut, these were opposed by General Beaulieu at the head of 1800 infantry and 1500 cavalry, and were obliged to retreat towards Bouffut with the loss of twenty killed and several wounded. The day following the French troops again attacked Gen. Beaulieu, a short action commenced, which ended in the complete rout of the French, who lost 250 killed, a considerable number taken prisoners, and five pieces of cannon.
The above account is under the Brussels head. Under the London head are accounts which make the above actions to have been more considerable; that in the first skirmish the French lost near four hundred men, that in the second they had 700 killed, and among them Count Rochambeau's son—but the Brussels account is no doubt sufficiently exaggerated.
The papers further state, that Col. Dillon, who commanded the French in the first action, being suspected of treachery, was taken by the soldiery and mob at Lisle, and hung upon a gibbet—his head and legs cut off, and the trunk of his body burnt.—A French Abbe, suspected also of treachery, passing accidentally by this scene, was also seized and executed on the spot, the soldiers also executed their chief engineer, and two or three other officers. An article under the Londonderry head says, that Count Dillon was tried by a court martial, that he was hanged and burned half alive; the charge against him was being privy to a scheme of leading the French troops into an ambuscade, where were 15 pieces of cannon. Col. Dillon's brother has petitioned the National Assembly to employ the most effectual measures to discover and punish the assassins. Several skirmishes between the French and Austrians took place from the 4th to the 20th May, the date of the last continental accounts; the former are represented as having been always worsted. A great many of the French soldiers desert and join the Austrian army. The Brussels Gazette represents the above skirmishes and attempts as nothing more than ministerial intrigues—that they shall soon see whether the French army will assume a more military attitude.—As to the Austrian troops, the same Gazette says, they seem remarkably steady, well disciplined, and by no means likely to desert.
The French prisoners at Brussels amount to about 200—among whom is Lt. Col. D'Estebazy—they are treated in the same manner as the Austrian troops. The French minister of war, M. De Grave, has resigned. The National Assembly have voted an address to the people; it recommends discipline in very earnest terms to the soldiers, and concludes with saying, "We have sworn never to capitulate with pride or tyranny—We will keep our oath—Death—death, or victory and equality." The assembly has "ordered, that the executive power inform the Assembly, every eight days, of the enquiries made into the assassination committed at Lisle, of Gen. Dillon, and other officers"—nine persons were already in custody on that account. A spy had been apprehended, who, it was proved, had cried out in the action of Mons, "Save himself who can." The war minister informed the Assembly in the sitting of the 13th May, that the whole regiment de Saxe had deserted and gone over to the enemy—92 of them were brought back and 88 horses. Three squadrons of the regiment of de Berchini have also deserted. May 14.—M. Servan gave alarming accounts of the number of troops which continue to desert—he demanded that a severe law be passed to prevent desertion, and to deter officers from resigning their commissions. M. Izard concluded a spirited harangue by moving, having previously asserted that the country is in danger, that the Legislature should meet in some private place, on the evenings when there is no sitting; and that a message be sent to the King, desiring him to declare whether he loves or hates the constitution, and whether he means to support or destroy it.
M. Rochambeau has resigned his command, and is succeeded by M. D'Estaing. M. La Fayette's army is in the neighbourhood of Namur, and is continually reinforced—he seems, by his motions, ifays the Brussels Gazette, to be meditating some important attack. The King of Prussia has ordered 72,000 men to march, of which himself is to take the command. The Duke of Brunswick is to command the Austrian army in Flanders—the Prince Hohenloe the Austrian and Hessian army on the Rhine—Gen. Brown is to command under the Duke, in Flanders.—Thus much for foreign continental affairs—it is pretty apparent that great allowance is to be made in reading the foregoing. The citizens of the United States have had sufficient experience during their own contest, to prevent an implicit credit in foreign newspaper details of battles, sieges, defections, &c. They are more than one half exaggerations.
The accounts from England are—That the Lord Chancellor Thurlow has resigned—That fresh riots had broken out in Birmingham, occasioned by a soldier's being killed, and were encreasing when the vessel failed.
Mr. Paine has published a third pamphlet intitled the CRISIS—A royal proclamation is issued against seditious writings. British stock has fallen; 3 per cents to 87. American funds at par. A camp had been formed at Bagshot, and another at Hyde Park.

FORM OF A PASSPORT FOR COMMERCIAL VESSELS BELONGING TO FRANCE.
LOUIS, by the grace of God and the Constitutional law of the State, King of the French, To all those to whom these presents shall come, Greeting. The vessel named the of the burthen of tons, having been registered in, and belonging to the port of and proved to be French property, we hereby declare that said vessel is entitled to sail under the National Flag of France, for which purpose we have granted letters of licence and passport to Commander of said vessel, to depart from the port and harbour of with instructions to govern himself according to the laws of the kingdom and the marine regulations.
We pray and request all sovereign powers, friends and allies of the French nation, and their subordinate officers; we command and enjoin all public functionaries under orders, the commanders of vessels belonging to the State, and all others whom it shall concern, safely and freely to suffer to pass the said with his vessel aforementioned, without interrupting him, or suffering that he shall meet with any trouble, detention, or delay whatever, but on the contrary to shew him every favor, succour, and assistance whatever, where it shall be necessary.
IN WITNESS whereof we have put our signature, and caused the seal of State to be affixed to the present passport, and the same to be countersigned by the Minister of the Marine.
THE MINISTER OF THE MARINE.
Delivered at the general office of the Marine, at No. , and dispatched.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, TO WIT :
The preceding is a translation of the form of the passport now given by the government of France to the vessels of their nation, as officially communicated by their Minister Plenipotentiary, of which all whom it may concern are desired to take notice.
TH. JEFFERSON, Sec'y of State.
Philadelphia, July 7, 1792.
The accounts of the affairs of France this day published, are received through the medium of British papers—the public anxiety is greatly excited—but a little reflection will relieve the mind from an anticipation of very disagreeable consequences to the cause of Freedom, when it is considered that the French story is not told by themselves.
During the late war in America, it was extremely difficult to ascertain facts which were said to have happened within a very short distance of the place where accounts were published.—In the present case, when the rumors of rumors, and the echoes of echoes, are wafted across an ocean of a thousand leagues, and the trumpet of news is blown by those who live by fabricating reports, let us be "slow to believe."
Accounts from Cape Francois to the 25th June, say, that the negroes are still destroying with as much fury as ever, and no prospect of a peace with them.
Attempts were making by the Governor to negotiate with the mulattoes at St. Mark's, but the event was not known.
Captain Joseph Brandt, the celebrated Indian Chief from Canada, departed a few days since from this city on a journey to the westward.—It is said his object is to endeavour to conciliate the minds of the hostile Indians, and lay the foundation for a permanent peace between those tribes and the United States.
By a vessel arrived here on Saturday last we learn, the decree of the National Assembly giving to the free negroes and people of colour equal rights with the whites is generally approved of in the colony. The parish of Jeremie, only, have made shew of opposition to it.
By this vessel we also learn, that the negroes have written to M. de Rouvray, proposing peace on terms le's rigorous than heretofore. The vessel also brings accounts of a declaration of war between Russia and France.
Extract of a letter from Massachusetts.
"Some late accounts from the westward give a dawn of hope that peace may eventually be concluded with the hostile Indians without much more war; it can be, it will be fortunate in many respects. If it were not for some white savages on the frontiers of some states, I conjecture the business might be effected with whilkey and blankets. I with the good Quakers, or some other denomination equally pacific, might always be next neighbors to the Indians, as they boast of knowing how to live at peace with them."
"Here, you will observe, we have the old rulers re-elected, and things jog on according to old file. We are blest with a fine season."
The state of births, deaths, and commerce, in the city of Amsterdam for the year 1791, stands thus :
During the last year, 8970 persons have died in that city, which is 291 more than the preceding year.
The total christenings in the Lutheran and reformed churches, amount to 5176.
In the course of the year, 1791 vessels of different nations have entered the Texel, which is 75 less than the preceding year.
The following address to the National Assembly of France, unanimously agreed to by the Legislature of Virginia, is extracted from the Journals of 1791.
"WE, the representatives of the people of Virginia, long sympathising with the National Assembly of France, in their glorious struggle for liberty, avail ourselves of the earliest opportunity to present, with all the sincerity of fraternal affection, our warmest congratulations on the establishment of your new Constitution—a constitution in which every masculine feature is portrayed that could strongly mark it as the legitimate offspring of liberty. Indeed from such an illustrious band of patriots and philosophers, we anticipated nothing less, preserving as you have done, with undiminished purity through so many successive ages, that noble spirit of your ancestors, which often bade defiance to the ancient conquerors of the world."
"It is impossible for a nation, in the full enjoyment of liberty, to look with an eye of indifference on the struggles of another to procure it. Upon the general principles of philanthropy then we felt an anxious solicitude for the successful issue of your labors. But when we carry our minds back, and review the eventful history of our own country, we are impelled by the strongest additional motives of friendship and gratitude, to sympathize with the National Assembly of France."
"We venerate the wisdom that suggested—we admire the boldness that commenced—we applaud the manly firmness that pursued—we are pleased with the humanity and politic forbearance that ensured—and we love the virtue that achieved the enterprize. Long may you enjoy the inestimable blessing which this combination of enviable attributes has secured to you, and may your example be imitated, not only by the rest of Europe, but by every enslaved nation upon the face of the globe—till despotism, with all its host of enemies to human happiness and improvement, is entirely chaséd away."
A leading feature in the character of the regenerated French has appeared to be affection to the English; no longer influenced by those unjust prejudices, those mean jealousies, which formerly divided the two countries, they have taken every occasion to express, with regard to the British nation, the highest respect and confidence, and to shew how desirous they are to cultivate a reciprocal good understanding, and establish a permanent alliance. This sentiment has appeared not only in those public transactions, which might be influenced by policy, but in the conduct of individuals, which affords the best, and indeed only, criterion of real character.
ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS.
Stating FACTS with respect to the Bank of the United States, has been called—"Throwing dust in the peoples' eyes;"—but it may with more propriety be said, that some of the fallacies and misrepresentations which have been thrown out on the subject are brick-bat arguments, calculated to knock the peoples' eyes out. The measures of the General Government are the result of the most labored investigation, and are founded on experience—as such they will stand the test; but had the visionary schemes of many persons been adopted, especially those relating to finance, it is more than probable that the hopes of the people, like the dove of Noah, would to this day have found no resting place. And though this observation is in part conjectural, yet considering that the opposers of the measures which have received the sanction of the Legislature of the United States, are generally the same persons who opposed the adoption of the new Constitution, and were the advocates of committee systems and paper expedients in the days of our humiliation, the conjecture appears to be well founded—but however this may be, certain it is, that the strictures on men and measures which form the long columns in the NATIONAL GAZETTE, are designed to subvert the present harmony, peace and happiness of the Union.—This object is, in short, openly avowed.—For, say these modest eagle-eyed supervisors of the legislative and executive departments of the government of the United States, "ANOTHER REVOLUTION MUST BE BROUGHT ABOUT," that is, That revolution, which has given birth to the glorious revolutions in Europe, must be revolutionized.
Whoever, says a correspondent, is acquainted with the manners and customs of the Indian nations, and their mode of carrying on war, must be convinced that the present system of military discipline ought to be entirely laid aside. How absurd is it to spend six or eight months, in teaching men to hold one of their eyes over the button holes of their jacket, a practice absurdly called "drilling," eventually of no service whatever in the grand aim of all armies, that of conquering.
Shouting on the day of battle is a practice founded in nature, the dreadful effects of which are known only to those who have experienced them, or are only to be conceived of by those acquainted with the principles of action in the human mind.
Who has not heard of the infernal yell on the fourth of November last? Its consequences are too well known.
If the sound of a warbling brook, or the gentle pattering of rain will lull the mind to sleep, or if the spirit-lirring-drum will invite to action, why should not other sounds produce effects that unman the soul? The custom of shouting has been practised by the Trojans, by the Germans, by the Gauls, by the Grecians, and by the Macedonians and Persians. In many instances, recorded by historians, the enemy have shamefully fled, upon hearing the shout, before they were in danger from the pikes of their adversaries.
Let us imitate the practice of those nations. Cæsar has been its advocate. The expression of Cato, the elder, will justify the experiment, "that he gained more battles by the THROATS than by the SWORDS of the soldiers."
An account of the failure of Messrs. Duer, Macomb, &c. is said, had reached London before the arrival of the express-boat dispatched from New-York on that event.
Papers from New-York by yesterday's post contain many particulars of the late engagements between the French and the Austrians, by which it appears that Monsr. de Biron and other French commanders conducted with distinguished bravery, and that the repulses they met with were owing to several unfortunate incidents.—That M. de la Fayette had taken the Abbey of Orval, a rich depot of arms and money for the emigrants—in the skirmish 22 Austrians and 6 French fell.—Further accounts are received in England of the success of Lord Cornwallis; it was expected he would be before Seringapatam by the 13th of January.
The French Minister of foreign affairs informed the National Assembly on the 8th May, that Mr. Pitt had given assurances of the neutrality of Great-Britain; that several of the German Princes had avowed their intention to contribute only their defensive proportions of troops to the army of the Empire—and that Sweden has determined to remain in peace.
We hear nothing of the Empress of Russia in the late accounts—the report of war's being declared against Russia, is not confirmed of course.
The Directors of the Association for establishing useful manufactures met at the new Town of Paterson, New-Jersey, on Tuesday last; and after purchasing the lands of the proprietors, fixed upon the exact situations of the different mill seats, and other principal buildings of the establishment. The town it is said is to be laid out by the celebrated Major L'Enfant—the form of which it is contemplated shall be circular—encompassing a delightful plain intended for a bleaching ground; every advantage appears to be concentrated in this situation to make it the most eligible in the United States, for the permanent establishment of manufactures.

"DESPOTISM is an excellent system for all its ministers; excellent for their passions, their fortune, their pride, their revenge, their pleasures; but detestable for the people whom it crushes; detestable also for kings, whom it renders odious and contemptible, all whose faults it occasions, all whose misfortunes, and sometimes their ruin."
ENGLISH PARAGRAPHS.
Admit the dissenters to the common rights of citizens, and there will be an end of them, "Religion," says an acute politician, "is merely the stalking horse upon these occasions." When the civil and political interests cease to clash, adieu to all distinctions upon religious subjects. —A dissenting minister said, the other day, that were the test and corporation acts abolished, it would be the worst thing in the world for the dissenters (as dissenters) for that then the body of them that oppression, real or supposed, keeps together, would have no common center of union or attraction.
"The house of Hanover," said a leader some years ago to one of our governors in America, "are the worst enemies the friends here ever had; they have never once persecuted us."
FROM A DUBLIN PAPER, OF MAY 15.
JAMES NAPPER TANDY.
Last Wednesday bills of indictment were found by the Quarter Session Grand Jury of the city against Joseph Knight, the person who arrested Mr. Tandy on Monday the 13th of April last, pursuant and in virtue of a proclamation issued for apprehending that gentleman, by the Lord Lieutenant and Privy Council. In consequence of this proceeding, the validity of a proclamation, such as the one above mentioned, will be tried in a few days by a Jury of Dublin citizens.
Wednesday last the Attorney-General moved, in the Court of King's Bench, on the part of the King, at the prosecution of John Toler, Esq. his Majesty's Solicitor General, that the Clerk of the Crown may be at liberty to send up a bill of indictment to the present City Grand Jury, against James Napper Tandy, Esq. for sending a challenge to the said John Toler, Esq. his Majesty's Solicitor General, when the Court ruled it—BE IT SO.
Upwards of 7000l. is mentioned to have been already subscribed to support Mr. Tandy against the Court Prosecution, and to enable him with effect to carry on his two prosecutions against the names annexed to the decree under which he was apprehended in the first instance and against Knight who executed the warrant of it in apprehending him.

RAGS, Rags, says a Prompter—And the Paper makers, the retailers, and printers and printers devils echo Rags, Rags, But if these people want Rags they must bid a little more on the pound.

SOCIETY FOR ESTABLISHING USEFUL MANUFACTURES.
At a meeting of the Directors of the Society for establishing useful manufactures, held at New-ark, on Friday the eighteenth day of May, 1792, at which time was passed the following.
WHEREAS by the third section of the ordinance entitled, "An ordinance for securing the punctual payment of the monies due on the subscriptions to the society for establishing useful manufactures," it is ordained, that if any subscriber or his assigns, shall neglect to pay the second, third or fourth payment of his, her or their respective subscriptions, for the space of three days after the expiration of the time limited by the law of incorporation for the said payments, that is to say, the second payment, on the 13th day of July, 1792: that then and in that case, all and every share or shares, of such person or persons, so neglecting to make such payments as aforesaid, and the monies by them previously paid, shall be forfeited, and forever thereafter vested in the said directors and their successors for the common benefit of the said society.
And whereas circumstances render it inexpedient to exact full payment of the second instalment on the said thirteenth day of July next, or within three days thereafter.
Be it therefore ordained, by the deputy governor and directors of the society for establishing useful manufactures, that if the said second payment shall be made in manner following, that is to say, one equal third part thereof, on or before the thirteenth day of August next, one other equal third part thereof, on or before the thirteenth day of September next, and one other equal third part thereof, on or before the thirteenth day of October next, with lawful interest computed thereon from the said thirteenth day of July next, that then and in such case, the said penalty mentioned in the said section, shall not be exacted, any thing in the said ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding.
