FROM THE BALANCE.
Observations respecting the invitation of Mr. Jefferson to Thomas Paine to come over to America.
No. II.
A PUBLIC measure so singular, so astonishing, so degrading to executive dignity and so foreign from the usual business of national diplomacy, as was the letter of invitation to THOMAS PAINE, written by Mr. JEFFERSON and presented by an ambassador of the United States, cannot fail to excite, together with indignant sensations, a strong curiosity to investigate its motives. Had Mr. PAINE arrived to our shores, uninvited ; or had he even come, invited by individuals of a subordinate grade, his arrival would have been announced among the trivial occurrences of the day. It was the extraordinary manner of his introduction amongst us, that has attached to this self-degraded man a sufficient degree of importance to render him an object of public notice.
It has lately been stated to the public, in terms of exultation, by some of the democratic party that there are already nearly two hundred thousand European emigrants in this country; and every year, and every month brings a large accession to this enormous mass of foreigners. They erode our cities—they direct our presses—they influence and decided our elections—they sit in our public councils—they govern our finances—they know their own numbers—they feel their own strength; and they speak to the nation, from time to time, in the language of menace and scorn. Will not their numbers, merely from spontaneous emigrations, be soon sufficient to give us liberty?—Was it necessary that the pen of the august President of the United States, in connection with diplomatic agency, should be employed in inviting over European citizens to our shores?—or if such a strange necessity really existed, the solution is still more strange.
Among all the men in Europe, who might have been introduced by diplomatic invitation, to come over and help us, was there no man so deserving, so needed as THOMAS PAINE? By what wonderful fatality has it happened that the man, who is emphatically the scorn of Europe, should be selected and distinguished by Mr. JEFFERSON, as the object of his high esteem; and should be affectionately invited to incorporate with the people of this country!—or even if it were necessary to make the selection from among the citizens of the Gallic nation, was there none among all those who had waded through the deep and abominable filth of the French revolutions, that might challenge a competition and a preference?—Why pitch upon the man, that had excited qualms in the bowels of France herself, and whom she was eager to disgorge?—Why pitch upon the man, against whose blasphemies thousands of pious parents, in this country, had, in their dying moments, solemnly warned their children! Why pitch upon the man, that had basely insulted this whole nation, by pouring a torrent of foul abuse and blackguardism upon the venerable WASHINGTON, who was emphatically the Father of the country!
Mr. Jefferson is the representative of a great nation, a nation upon which no inconsiderable degree of the attention of the world is fixed. And what must the world think, what must the wisest and best men in Europe think, while they behold him stooping from his dignified station down, down, down , to a diplomatic correspondence with Thomas Paine; to the bestowment upon him of high esteem, and to an affectionate invitation to that French citizen to come over to America? The whole nation is degraded by such a spectacle. It is exposed to the pointed finger of derision; and must prepare to receive the tribute of contempt.
In the history of nations, a formal mission from the head and representative of a great & respectable people to an unofficial individual of a foreign land, is an unusual thing. It is a species of diplomacy that rarely happens; and it naturally presupposes an uncommon degree of worth in the individual, who has been thus distinguished. Whenever the supreme head & principal organ of a great nation, by a mission in the solemn form of an embassy, calls upon a foreign subject or citizen to migrate, and to vouchsafe to the country of the signified petitioner, the favor of his presence, it presupposes the expectation of important services from the invited foreigner. What go d services can this coun-
try expect from Thomas Paine? I pause for a reply.
EUSEBIUS.
From the N. H. COURIER.
PAUSE PRAISE.
"HAVE I not said some silly thing?" was the exclamation of a man of no common renown, when he found himself applauded by silly people. What an excellent standard to measure merit! and how ridiculously mean many a great man would appear if he tested his worth by the same principles. The author of that observation, saw how despicable it is to be praised by the weak and the wicked. He perceived that if vice and ignorance undertook to support his reputation, they would scorch every wreath that might decorate his memory, every laurel that might sprout from his tomb. The malignity of enemies was harmless, but the kindness of such friends was death. He dreaded more from the tubes of vile and loathsome eulogy, than from the most embittered shafts of slander.
"There is a praise,
"That doth blacken and debauch the wearer, 'Tis worse than calumny."
False praise is the shortest road to oblivion. It is a kind of irony covertly conveying the reproach of sense and the detestation of honesty. A man's reputation may sometimes be sunk by the pressure of censure; but clogged with this incumbrance, he sinks by his own weight, and "to ascend is adverse." Yet false praise has many a disciple. It is a counterfeit coin, much sought after by those whose goods will not command the genuine currency. A person born, not "with silver spoons nor wooden lades in his mouth," but with ambition deeply in his heart, who has too great paucity of talents and virtues to rank him with the truly illustrious, is usually solicitous for this kind of reward. History, too unfortunately, exhibits an abundance of such characters.—They are swarming on every leaf of ancient and modern record, and as we approach towards our own times, they swell to such numbers and such enormity, as to compel the eye from the page. Even America, though we should hope separated from the evils of the old world, has not escaped the contagion of example, nor the thralldom of folly. Our present Chief Magistrate, however dignified in station, and "all President as he is," has yet a secret, insatiate longing for that praise which is loathsome as the Siroc, and deleterious as death. Any thing that favors of eulogy, or of worship, however nauseous, is delectable to his palate and digests in his stomach. With silent pleasure he sees himself passed by his obsequious servants, as at once the first philosopher, the greatest writer, and the most consummate politician of the age. Before him the fame of Newton darkens, Addison and Robertson dwindle, and Montesquieu is annihilated. In human arts and acquirements Europe has been repeatedly challenged to produce his peer; but Europe, very wisely, doth not see fit to accept the challenge. Europe acknowledges that in certain arts he is equalled, at most, but by one man on the eastern continent; and if that one man is doomed to descend to the tomb of Robespierre, the philosopher of Monticello will be unmatched in these arts throughout the world.

Our informant adds, and it is painful for us to mention it, that a young man named Charles Herron, was drowned at the time; and that the captain, from extreme fatigue and exposure, having been obliged to swim on shore, was so ill on Friday last, that his life was despaired of. The body of poor Herron was found, and decently interred on Friday. An affecting sermon was preached on the occasion.

KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday, December 1.
The committee of the whole this day took into consideration the governor's communications, as to the shutting the port of New Orleans against the Americans, and came to two resolutions thereupon, and an address to the general government on that subject, which were unanimously agreed to as follows:
Resolved unanimously, That the proclamation of the intendant of the port of New Orleans, of the 13th October last, is a direct retraction of the treaty of friendship, limits and navigation, concluded in October, 1795, between the United States and the king of Spain, in this particular, that by the said proclamation, American citizens are forbidden to deposit their merchandise and effects in the port of New Orleans, without an equivalent establishment having been assigned to the United States, on another port of the banks of the

Mississippi, conformably to the provision of the twenty second article of said treaty.
Resolved, That the governor be requested to forward the following memorial to our senators and representatives in congress, to be by them presented to the president of the United States, the senate and house of representatives of congress.
To the president of the United States, and senate and house of representatives of congress.
THE MEMORIAL
Of the senate and house of representatives of the commonwealth of Kentucky.
Having on a former occasion, when we represented the obstructions to the navigation of the river Mississippi, experienced the attention and justice of the general government, in providing by a treaty with the court of Spain, not only for the free navigation of that river, but for what, in our remote situation from the ocean was absolutely necessary to the enjoyment of it, a place of deposit for our produce; we deem it necessary barely to state to you, that by an infraction of that treaty, we are deprived of those advantages in violation of the treaty between the United States and the king of Spain, concluded at San Lorenzo del Real, in October, 1795. The intendant of the port of New Orleans has by a proclamation of the 18th October last, forbidden American citizens to deposit their merchandizes and effects in the said port without having assigned to the United States an equivalent establishment on another part of the bank of the Mississippi.
We rely with confidence in your wisdom and justice, and pledge ourselves to support at the expence of our lives and fortunes, such measures as the honor, and interest of the United States may require.

NEW YORK, December 15.
Captain Wadbury, of the brig William Pitt, spoke on the first inst. the sch'r Fame, from Port Republican, out 14 days, the captain of which assured him that the Negroes had succeeded in taking Port Republican by storm, and had put all the white men, women, and children in the place to the sword. The American vessels in the harbor failed in company with the Fame, under convoy of a French frigate.
The ship Pastor, Caldwell, of and for this port, out 63 days from Grenock, went ashore on Monday night at Shrewsbury Inlet. The passengers came up yesterday afternoon in the pilot boat Tryall, and inform us, that no material damage had been discovered in the vessel by this accident, and that they supposed she would be got off without much injury.
By the arrivals here yesterday from Greenock and Bristol, we have received
London, Bristol, Liverpool and Glasgow papers, to the 3d ult.
Great Britain is putting on a hostile appearance. In all her sea ports, the greatest activity prevails, in recruiting for seamen, and victualling and manning her fleets with the greatest expedition. Ships of war and packets, victualled for six months, with sealed orders, have sailed from England in every direction. The squadron which recently sailed up the Mediterranean from Gibraltar is to be reinforced by several additional ships from England; and the command of the force, in that sea, is to be conferred on General Oakes.
The cause of these hostile appearances, is imputed to the recent interference of France, in the internal affairs of the Swiss Cantons—and of a suspicion, that she means to renew her designs upon Turkey and Egypt, and to obtain possession of Malta. The British, however seem determined to resist the designs of this mighty Colossus, which aims at universal power; and, if not prevented, would bestride the whole world.
The markets in England, with very little variation, continued much the same as by former advices.
Three per cent. Consols were at 67 1/2 Omnium 10 1/4 dis.
Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile house in Grenock, to a merchant in this city, dated Nov 3.
"Cotton is again on the start and will be more so should the present appearances of war continue. Bonaparte has still an itching after his favorite plan of the expedition to Egypt. Our government finds fault with him on the score of usurping too much power, by dictating laws to Switzerland, and call on the other powers in Europe to interfere with France, in order to preserve the balance of power, otherwise as they say, which is very true, there will be no end to his ambition, and in time, if permitted to make such grasps, he may dictate laws to the whole world. Our government at present are keeping a watchful eye over him, and making some little preparation, however, this blast may blow over.
Good Coffee is also on the rise and will stand in the same situation as cotton should hostilities commence.
The ship Lydia, arrived this morning from Grenock in 38 days. She brings papers to the 2d of November, the one of this date we have just seen: It states, that at a Cabinet Council it had been determined, that the British troops should still keep possession of such ports as by the treaty of Amiens were to have been given up, and which had not then been evacuated; and that orders for that purpose had accordingly been dispatched.
From a Glasgow paper of Oct. 28. LONDON, Oct. 25.
Several letters have been received in town from Switzerland, all of which agree in the determination of the brave Swiss to resist to the last extremity. The letter of the Chief Consul was received at Berne with sensations of the utmost horror and indignation. In the audience given to Citizen Rapp, he declared that if the Swiss did not immediately submit to the will of the Chief Consul, an army of 30,000 French had orders to march in five days into the country, and to lay Switzerland waste by fire and sword. He was referred to the Congress at Schwitz, but the Bernese, as far as concerned themselves, rejected the terms with disdain.
A meeting of the Cabinet Council having been held on Saturday, a number of reports have in consequence got into circulation, one of which is, that government has received an answer from Paris favorable to the cause of Switzerland. Of this, however, we cannot speak with any confidence.
Bills have been posted in Portsmouth and Gosport, for entering seamen for the Penelope and Apollo frigates.
Portsmouth, Oct. 24. Sailed yesterday, the St. Florenzo frigate, and Raccoon brig, for sea, with sealed orders: the former supposed to be for the West Indies, and the latter for the coast of Guinea.
GLASGOW, Oct. 28.
A detailed account of Bonaparte's new plan of indemnities was received by a Dutch mail which arrived on Monday. By this plan, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Emperor's brother, gains little or nothing more than he had by former
one, and the Stadholder's portion is diminished.
The answer of the Diet at Schwitz to Bonaparte, in consequence of his proclamation of the 30th September, addressed to the Swiss nation, declares that the movements which have taken place in Switzerland are not the result of a spirit of party, and that the Swiss nation has no other object in view than to make use of the right which the claims of giving herself a central and cantonal constitution, founded on her position and her wants; a sacred and precious right, which you deigned yourself to ensure her by the treaty of Luneville: The Swiss have nothing more at heart than to attain a state of repose to which, under the friend of a mild and just government, each inhabitant may enjoy his property and his existence."
By later dates, we learn, that the French papers boast that all the difficulties of Switzerland are finally adjusted to their satisfaction. It appears, however that two discordant voices are heard in her councils, and the nation is torn by two parties, French and Swiss.

Arrived, sch'r Edward and Edmund, Veacock, from Turk's Island, sailed from thence on the 24th Nov. in company with the Minerva, Pain, of New-London, for New-York; schooner Roger Williams, Spooner, of Providence, R. I. do. sloop Lucy, Bailey, of and for New-London.
Dec. 3, in lat. 37, 20, N. long. 73, 30, W. spoke the schooner Maria, Randall, of Philadelphia for Nevis. The Edward and Edmund in coming up the bay, ran ashore on Joe Flogger. The pilot, mate & two hands, went in the boat with an anchor, to get the sch'r off; but the boat and hands never returned. Capt. V. was obliged the next morning to cut his cable, and follow some vessel for assistance, having only 2 boys on board. Capt. V. was fortunate in receiving some assistance from Capt. Fatio, of the ship Narcissa, whose friendly attention was peculiarly favorable to the preservation of the vessel.
Yesterday afternoon came up the fast sailing sch'r Ann and Mary, Capt. Joseph Coulter, from Cape Francois. By this arrival we expected additional intelligence of the political state of St Domingo; but on enquiry we were disappointed, as the sch'r failed on the 17th November and only brings a confirmation of the late dreadful troubles, which distract that country.
Brig Beaver, Stephenson, from hence, arrived at Cape-Francois after a passage of 10 days.
Ship Rose, Clasby, of and from this port, bound to Cork and Liverpool, was spoke Nov. 26, in lat. 38, 18, long. 70, 80.
Sch'rs Alexander, Reynolds, & Eliza, Baker, of Philadelphia, were at St. Bartholomews the 20th Oct. to sail in 14 days for this port.
Alexandria Advertiser.
Monday, December 20.
We this day present our readers with the President's Message, which was read to the house on Wednesday. It is a pretty delicate little thing; the very image of its father. Like him, it flatters the people, talks* about economy, and plenty of money without taxes. The dear little thing speaks of its wealth, with as much confidence, as if it had been acquired by its own exertions. It was really laughable to see the little urchin, strutting & viewing itself in the borrowed plumes of its predecessors. A circumstance had like to have destroyed this tender offspring of our beloved President. Its friends were so pleased with the prospect of its appearing, that they determined to celebrate its birth, by a discharge of sixteen guns at the navy yard. This to be sure, did not very well accord with the professions of republican simplicity & plainness of its
father. They knew how to confute their professions much better than the people. They were accordingly anticipating the happiness, that they would enjoy at seeing their little favorite ushered into the world, with so much noise and eclat. The cannons were loaded, and the matches lit for more than a week. A flag was sent to the Capitol, to give the signal to the navy yard. When suddenly the President got alarmed, a council was called, and it was considered that the infant, from the weak and decrepit state of the parent, and the little nourishment with which it had been supplied, and even that little having been borrowed, and might not therefore be favorable to its constitution, would not probably be sufficiently strong and healthy for so boisterous a reception, it was, therefore, on mature reflection, determined to order the cannon not to be fired. The infant was announced to the world with no other noise than the musical and sonorous voice of the midwife.
The President's Council judged correctly, as to its situation. It is in a very weak and sickly state, and as it owed its birth to borrowed or stolen nourishment as soon as these supplies are stopped, the poor thing must certainly perish. Its tomb will be but slightly closed, as its father is soon expected to follow, and will be placed in the same grave. A mourning ring is already preparing for the disconsolate parent, with the following motto: 'Not dead, but gone before.'
[W. J. Fed.]
NOTE.
* Do not be surprised gentle reader, that a new born infant is made to talk. We have many well recorded instances of birds and beasts conversing with each other. It surely is not as wonderful, that the new born son of a Philosopher, should be able to speak in this age of reason, as that in an age of darkness and superstition, animals without the light of reason, should be able to utter grave maxims of morality, or crack jokes upon each other.
