LOUISIANA.
It becomes us as a nation, duly appreciating our rights and jealous of their infringement by foreign powers, to be attentive to its safety and tranquility. That we are interested in the cession of Louisiana to France, all parties will readily admit. Considering the polity of that country, its incompatibility with our own systems, the spirit of unjustifiable aggrandizement which marks its progress, its plausible pretences for the subjugation of foreign powers; and withal the restless spirit and insatiable ambition of him who emphatically leads the "Great Nation" by the nose, we cannot feel indifferent as to the consequences which may issue from the pusillanimous and servile cession. We entertain, however, no presentiment of being subdued in any possible event. We have full confidence in the wisdom, the high spirit, and prowess of the Union. We know that it will neither permit its freedom to be sapped by foreign intrigue, nor overturned by foreign force. We have arms to use and courage to wield them in our defence. While we sedulously avoid giving umbrage to other nations, we will not with impunity suffer any to place its sacrilegious hand on our hallowed freedom. We may deplore the pitiable fate of Batavia and of Switzerland, but the UNITED STATES will never form an item in the catalogue of victims to the all-grasping power of the present monarchy of France.
That the cession is fully made cannot be doubted. Our Minister, Mr. Livingston was instructed to remonstrate against it, but he arrived too late.
It seems to be on all hands agreed that the two Floridas will necessarily fall into the hands of that power which shall possess and colonize Louisiana. The Mississippi, therefore, from the thirty first degree of latitude, north of the equator, the southern boundary line of the United States on that river, to its mouth, will belong, by right of sovereignty, to the First Consul. Our right to the navigation of this portion of the Mississippi is strictly conventional. It is not necessary to expatiate a moment on the commercial advantages which will accrue to France from having the exclusive possession of the outlet of this immense river, nor of the advantages which will most probably result from it to our western citizens. They are too obvious to require comment. The produce of Kentucky, of the Natchez, and of all that immense portion of our territory which lies contiguous to the river, will be of little value to its owners. It must sustain a depression in its price almost in the ratio that the channel, through which it has been usually transported to opposite markets, shall be closed to it. This will not only be injurious to the agricultural interest of the country, but it will naturally excite discontent, which, fostered by the subtle policy which the "First Consul" may mark out for the new colony, may have a powerful tendency to induce many of our valuable Western citizens to shake off their allegiance, and become subjects of the "Great Nation." In such a case self interest, the prospect of acquiring unbounded wealth, may subdue patriotism; and when this celestial fire shall be extinguished by sordid motives, it will be easy to step over the imaginary line which divides the two countries.
Those who are acquainted with the New Orleans market will readily admit that French merchandise, of all kinds, is preferred to that of any other nation. France, in possession of that important place, will exclude our merchants from it. Hitherto between three and four millions of dollars annually, in specie have been drawn from thence to the U. States. This will, in future find its way to France. So far our circulating medium may be abridged; and the profits, which have accrued from a commutation of merchandise with Spain & New Orleans, will cease to be pocketed by our merchants when it shall be under the dominion of the "First Consul."
On the commercial advantages likely to arise to France from the cession of Louisiana and the Floridas, volumes might be written. Such a disquisition, however, would be too prolix and distasteful for a news paper. It would be of service to the union if some man adequate to the task would take up the subject, and pursue it through all its ramifications. We are persuaded that in proportion as the cession shall be found advantageous to France it will be injurious to the Union. France cannot fur-
nish Europe with cotton and tobacco, two of our great staples of exports, without proportionably cramping our commerce. And it will be found that as the immense and fertile regions of Louisiana shall be colonized, cotton, tobacco, and rice, will be produced. By this gradually compelling us to relinquish many foreign commercial relations, we shall be reduced to the state of a manufacturing nation, so far to be necessitated to fabricate in a great measure our own apparel.
But have we nothing to apprehend from the proximity of a nation always renowned if not dreaded for its intrigues, and not less at present for the rapid and insensible diffusion of its deadly poison? We have nothing to fear from open force; we can brave it with conscious pride and heart-felt pleasure even unto death, when it shall menace our safety and independence. But the secret workings of corruption are not unfrequently too powerful and attendant to be successfully resisted. Sir Robert Walpole found this silent working power irresistible and omnipotent; and yet Sir Robert, a corrupter of every thing pure, was a school-boy in comparison of Bonaparte.
But a hope is entertained that France has given back Louisiana to her Catholic Majesty! the supposition is so entirely at war with every thing we know of the First Consul, so contrary to his views of criminal ambition, so repugnant to his obvious wish to subjugate the world to his haughty and overbearing power, that, had we not good reason to disbelieve the surmise, we could not upon taking a general view of his cormorant policy, credit the supposition. He will gain what he can; but part with nothing gained unless compelled to it. The Dictator will find his safety in disturbing the repose of other nations.
But does not the pacific system, growing out of the definitive treaty, indicate in France a steady design to keep possession of Louisiana; view the geographic position of Guiana, and read French comments on the advantage expected to be derived from the cession by Portugal of that portion of it which belonged to her Majesty? It is calculated, in the estimation of France not only to command the mouth of the Mississippi, but to aid, at a convenient season, the reduction of the Mexican and Peruvian empires.
Let it not be imagined that this is a vain speculation on subjects wrapt in futurity. Bonaparte, in his disposition of nations, embraces centuries to come. The French article which we re-published the other day, speaks of the aggrandizement of America one hundred years hence. And to impede our growth by which we might become too powerful, Bonaparte in the plenitude of his paternal affection for the welfare of nations, will condescend to colonize Louisiana! What a great and good benefactor! When was he found devoid of a pretext, however gross and clumsy, to cover his invasions of right.
We trust the first encroachment on our territory will meet with its reward; that the daring invader shall be made to "bite the dust." Once admit the enemy into the Citadel and we are no longer a free nation.
FROM THE BALANCE.
ON EDUCATION.
"Ill habits gather by unseen degrees: As brooks run rivers, rivers run to seas." DRYDEN.
IDLENESS is the rust of human nature and the nurse of bad habits. It enervates the mind and overspreads it, as it were with a leprosy, even as water becomes putrid and will breed loathsome vermin, by continuing long stagnant. This was the bane of Sodom. The sacred penman remarked concerning that horridly polluted city, that "abundance of idleness was in her." And from that source there sprang those detestable abominations, which cried to heaven against her and stamped her characters with eternal infamy. As the air, in which we constantly breathe, becomes corrupt when it is long motionless, so the ethereal breath of life itself, which had been breathed into man from above, naturally corrupts in a state of indolence. When children are suffered to get the habit of idleness, a long catalogue of other evil habits will follow of course.
Solomon, the most wise observer of human nature, has remarked, that "loth casteth into a deep sleep"—and also, that
"The desire of the slothful killeth him." These remarks aptly express the invincible tendency of idleness both to produce a general imbecility of character and to generate destructive propensities and habits. A certain kind of rædium or irksome disquietude is a never failing concomitant of idleness. The due poise of human life, with respect to comfort as well as usefulness, consists in a constant succession of labour and rest; and any one who never knew labor, never knew rest. Time itself oppresses an idle person, as with the weight of a millstone: and, in order to kill time, he has recourse to the gambling table and to the various pernicious haunts of dissipation. Children and youth, who are nursed in the lap of idleness, are blighted in the bloom; for, by an indolent sauntering disposition, which when once fixed becomes incurable, the mind is shorn of its strength and falls an easy prey to all kinds of evil temptations.
On the other hand, industry is the balsam of life to the human frame. It equally befriends our health and our morals: it equally braces the body and the mind. It is a powerful curb against licentious dispositions and practices, as well as an indispensable prerequisite to the forming of a character either respectable or useful. The importance of guarding the young against idleness and of forming in them habits of industry, has been too little considered; and yet the experience of ages has proved, that idle and dissipated youths are commonly useless and even a nuisance to society, in the subsequent periods of their lives: while those who have been early accustomed to a regular course of industry have found this path, which at first seemed rough and irksome, gradually becoming more and more easy and delightful, and, for the most part, they have preserved through life a decent and useful character. Industry therefore ought to be encouraged by the patronage of public opinion, as well as by the pecuniary advantages which result from it.
There is a paragraph in the Monitor, (a valuable book that is generally read in the American Schools) which should be expunged. It is an extract from the letters of the Earl of Chesterfield to his son, wherein his lordship in condescending to give directions to his son on the subject of cutting his finger nails, remarks, "When the nails are cut down to the quick, it is a shrewd sign that the man is a mechanic, to whom long nails would be troublesome; and if they are longer than his fingers' ends and encircled with a black gum, it portends he has been laborious and meanly employed," &c. If this paragraph were to be simply considered as a lesson from a British nobleman to his son, to whose person and manners he was aiming to give the highest degree of European polish, it might pass without animadversion; but in its application to American Schools, it is highly reprehensible.
There are no fewer than nineteen in twenty among the children and youth accustomed to read the Monitor at schools, who are by no means exempted by the circumstances of their parents from the necessity of manual labor; and they should be taught to view industry as a virtue, both necessary and laudable; but when, on the contrary, they are taught at school, that "LABOUR IS MEAN" many of them will be led thereby to conceive an unconquerable prejudice against those laborious, but most useful callings, to which Providence had destined them—and this absurd prejudice, which they imbibed as a part of their education, may likely prove ruinous to themselves, as well as greatly injurious to the general interests of society.
It was not so with the prudent Romans educated their children. They honored useful labour. Cincinnatus, their General held the plough; and Augustus, their Emperor, wore garments, which were manufactured by his wife and daughter. And, if we recur to the most sacred source of authority, we there find idleness stigmatized and useful labour encouraged and applauded. The wise king of Israel, in his book of Proverbs, which was particularly designed for the instruction of youth among various other incentives to industry, says, "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men." And in the description of a FINE WOMAN, at the close of that book, industry makes a considerable part of the panegyric. "She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household and portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She maketh
* There is a labour of the mind as well as of the body; and some employ themselves very industriously and usefully to society, who never labour with their hands.
herself coverings of tapestry. She maketh fine linen and selleth it, and delivereth girdles unto the merchant."

FOR THE ALEXANDRIA ADVERTISER.
A WISH.
Fain would I sing in lofty strains, Of rural shades, and rural plains; For still my heart bounds at the sight, Of scenes so pregnant with delight. But since no glowing pencil's mane, All vain pretensions I resign; And simple, lowly numbers choose, As weakling bards are known to use, Adapted to my humble theme, For of no golden fruit I dream; But from the world retir'd would be, The world that has no charm for me; Content and happy with my lot, Did I but own a rural cot, On Delaware's green enamel'd side, So I might watch its vaying tide; For when it flow'd 'twould seem to say, Thy homage to thy maker pay; And when it downward roll'd as fast, So soon is man's frail warfare past; My native scenes inclos'd among, Where oft I've stray'd, and loiter'd long; Charm'd with the music of the shade, And with the green corn's rustling blade. There would I raise my humble frame, Nor e'er aspire to wealth or fame; Rich in the pow'r who plac'd me there, Bellow'd a little mite to spare. A stranger to ambition full, Sure precedent of future ill; Pride should not near my cottage grow, 'Twas that drove Lucifer below, And what have we poor worms of earth, To give so weak a passion birth; To-day we live, to-morrow die, And in some dark, cold cavern lie. Nor yet should hated envy dare, Expose her fallow features there; Whose breath would poison canker all, And turn my sweetest cup to gall; Oh no! she should not near me dwell, I would not live my heart a hell, For when she once infests the mind, The furies full employment find: Far other immates would I choose, Such as would grace, and not abuse; Such as would act a nobler part, Improve the mind, and mend the heart. My cot should stand on rising ground, In view the rural landscape round; For rural nature charms the sight, Impresses on the mind delight; NUMA enamour'd with her grew, And bade the world for her adieu: The soft enchantress of the grove, Knows still to bind with cords of love; With her I'd oft delighted stray, And at her shrine my devotions pay; And humbly woo the tuneful nine, To hail her goddess all divine. Should haughty splendor pass the spot, And honor with a stare my cot; The tinsel'd trappings of her train, Should on my heart inflict no pain; Her empty airs, her vain parade, Would make me more adore the shade; But near my door should merit pass, I'd strew with flow'rs the verdant grass, And bend the then submissive knee, Proud if it deign'd to notice me; No matter what she garb it wore, Of rags, or velvet tissued o'er; Nor would I idolize it less, Tho' none I might myself possess. There would I live, there end my days, And morn and eve my maker praise; So would he bless me thro' the day, Nor let the wayward passions fray. Of friends I would possess a few, Yet friendship's found but seldom true; And so the man's most wife no doubt, Who passes thro' the world without; Unknown to the cruel tort'ring pain, That rends the feeling heart in twain; When those whom friends we'd look to prove, Return us ills for gen'rous love; 'Tis escape that pang ne'er may I be, Attach'd to none too tenderly. Yet tho' I would not wish to boast, Who knew me best, should love me most: But still my cot would prove I own, Most gloomy if I dwelt alone; So would I pray, the kinder pow'rs, To grant a charm for lonely hours; A fair, of graceful form and mein, Nor yet too young, nor in her wane; I would not ask a beauteous face, Enough the features wore a grace; But must possess a temper sweet, And in her dress be always neat; The color that her HUBERT thought Became her most, should still be bought; And worn with dignity and ease, Without a vain desire to please. Of gen'rous undistiguish'd heart, Nor known to levity, nor art; Nor should vile affectation be, Attach'd to the woman dear to me, For where the noxious weed is seen, The parent soil is poor and mean. To hide the faults of others prone, Severe unto her own alone; Some, even she, would share no doubt, For none alas! are found without. But most of all, she must possess A charm that would my cottage bless; A treasure that I'd value more, Than e'er a gem that monarch wore, A firm and independent mind, That in itself could solace find; A mine of treasure then she'd be, A blessing to herself, and me. Should such a Fair fall to my lot, I'd go and plan my rural cot.

BOSTON, June 16.
Extract of a letter from an American at Paris, May 1st, 1802.
The cession of Louisiana to the French, must no doubt excite general attention in the United States. The views of the French government, I believe, are very little understood by the present administration in America, with respect to that country. It is certain that Buonaparte contemplates sending a very large military force to Louisiana under the command of general Bernadotte; He will be accompanied by number of the factious in this country, who are not so peaceably inclined towards the usurped government of the First consul; and I very much doubt whether they will make you more peaceable neighbors in America, than they have us in France. The representations of Le Clerc, have been very unfavorable against the Americans, and the French government, I am sorry to say, are very cool towards them. Our minister at this court is not received with all that cordiality and respect, which is due to one from the U. States of America. Whether this may be owing to the pusillanimous conduct of the present administration in America, or the jealousy of Buonaparte, or the growing power of the United States, I am at a loss to determine; but certain it is, that without an energetic government, possessing means sufficient to protect it from the designs of any nation, America makes a very awkward and degrading appearance on the theatre of the world.
The reduction of internal taxes, and, other sources of revenue, has a very serious and alarming effect on the American funds, in Europe:—It is well known, that the great source of your revenue arises from the immense commerce you have enjoyed during the war. Where then your Genevan financier is to raise his supplies, during peace, when your commerce will be greatly diminished, his own fertile genius must discover. But suppose the great nation should please in its power, to dictate terms to your philosophic president, what a situation would America be placed in, destitute of a formidable navy, the only safeguard of your widely extended sea coast, and from the affinity of the West Indies, subject to the sudden inuendos of a Gallic foe; possessing an immense tract of country and a large military force on your western frontier.
These serious considerations, and I am sorry to observe are very little regarded, by the ruling party in America; but I hope providence, in its mercy will restore you that energetic government, which under the last administration, commanded respect abroad and confidence at home—when an American in any country was proud of his name; but which name since the power has devolved on the present party, he is almost ashamed to own."

Arrived, brig Sampson, S. Mather, 10 days from Cape-Francois. Left there fhr. —, Norray, of New-Haven; sloop Lessingwell, of Norwich, had not sold all; brig Hunter, Limes, to sail in two days. Sailed in company with fchr. Fanny and Catharine, Barnet, who went into Connecticut river this morning. Left about 30 sail of American vessels at the Cape—when capt. Mather left there Colonial produce was high and American low; market well supplied with beef from the Spanish part of the island. French troops very sickly, and dying fast. Gen. Toussaint at his conference with Gen. Le Clerc entered into no compromise; several skirmishes have taken place since Toussaint was at the Cape. Troops were daily expected from France; Gen. Hardie second in command, died at the Cape on the 2d inst.
NEWYORK, June 19.
By the Moses, Gill capt. Patterson, in 34 days from Greenock, English papers have been received at this office, which afford no news peculiarly interesting.
It is said that Mr. Pitt, Mr. Rose, and their friends are at this moment arranging the whole plan of the next general election, and that Mr. Addington does not interfere or exert himself on the subject; it is even affirmed that he leaves the whole to Mr. Pitt and his friends. Should this be the fact it will prove more decisively than any other circumstance how much Mr. Pitt still holds the real power in his hands, and determined he is to hold it.—His return to office must, therefore, depend entirely on his own will: he may choose the period when he shall again step into place. With a majority of the House of Commons in his favor, he can at any time force the Gates of the Treasury. It is probable that his return will not be effected in defiance of the wishes of a great personage, who, it is well known, is at present resolved not to receive him; but the dislike, it is expected, will be worn away, by soothing and half menaces, by shewing the necessity of his return, and the improbability that any new understanding
can occur. It is Calculated that within a few months after the meeting of the Parliament, Mr. Pitt will be again Minister, but that the other offices will not be filled either by the same persons who formerly filled them under him, or by all of those who are at present officiate. Men and Principles suitable to "existing circumstances" will be chosen, such as will act upon the equivocal conduct of Mr. Pitt himself; neither animated by the decisive warlike spirit of the Grenvilles and Windhams or the truly pacific and constitutional views of Mr. Fox.
GREENOCK, May 7.
The report that there is danger of a war between America and France, because the French seized some American provision ships at St. Domingo, and would only pay for them in their own way, is certainly unfounded. America dare not quarrel with France at present, especially as the British Ministers have declared, they will not renew hostilities almost on any account.
The Volunteer regiments of Scotland, were disbanding daily in consequence of the peace. The Glasgow and Greenock papers contain numerous complimentary addresses from the commanding officers, with the loyal responses of the regiment, in this long wished for event.

FROM THE BALTIMORE TELEGRAPHE, June 22.
The following letter and proclamation were last evening received at Bryden's Coffee House, from a French gentleman lying off the Port at quarantine, which has been translated for the Telegraph.
At the Port of Baltimore, 21st June, 1802.
There is an avenging God who punishes presidey.
The traitor, the cunning villain, is at length in irons.—Toussaint has been arrested at Georges plantation, of Gonaives district, the seventh of this month, as well as his captain, guides, and seven companions of his crimes, by an officer named Ferrary, and five of his brave soldiers—all resistance became vain, they were seized, bound hand and foot, mounted upon horses and conducted to Gonaives, where they were instantly embarked on board the Creole frigate. The correspondence of this villain has been discovered; he meditated new crimes. They were principally directed against the general in chief Le Clerc, his family and body guard. Fontaine his first aid-de-Camp, arrested same day at the Cape, and imprisoned, was charged with furnishing him details, and preparing a new conspiracy. The chief villain is actively engaged in counteracting his schemes; as supplies of all species of military stores, particularly gunpowder packed in flour barrels, were promised him by some persons of the United States, and which he was assured of receiving by some trusty associates. What a bloody enterprize! we may indeed exclaim with the poet—
"Quid non mortalia pectora cogis auri sacra fames."
I annex the proclamation, signed by the general in chief, of an event so interesting to the human race, and the future
prosperity of St. Domingo. It is impossible to describe the joy which this publication has produced amongst all the inhabitants of the Cape.
In the evening all the city was voluntarily illuminated without public orders, and effigies representing this hypocritical brigand, were burnt by the negroes in different places.
I am with respect, &c.
FS. LESTART,
Merchant and Planter of St. Domingo.
LIBERTY.
EQUALITY.
ARMY OF ST. DOMINGO.
The general in chief to the citizens of St. Domingo:
General Toussaint not being contented with enjoying the amnesty which had been granted him, attempted again to kindle the flames of civil war.
I have thought proper to cause him to be arrested. The proofs of his bad conduct since the amnesty, shall be extensively published.
This measure which ensures tranquility to the colony should by no means alarm those who have laid down their arms, and shall have submitted with good faith to the republic.
At the head quarters of the Cape, the 20th Prairial—10th year of the republic. (Signed) LE CLERC.
At the Cape, at the office of P. Roux, printer to the government, Place d'Armes.
SPECIFIC APPROPRIATIONS.
The people have been told that the former Federal Administrations expended public money on objects for which no specific appropriation had been made by law—yet it has been acknowledged by all, & proved even by the committee of accusation, (generally styled committee of investigation,) that all public monies were applied to public purposes; to the accomplishment of those great and general objects designated in the several appropriation laws. When ships were to be built, they purchased not only ground to build them upon, but proper timber and materials. The expenditures incident to foreign relations were defrayed out of monies appropriated for that department—those sums which the necessary public demands required were never withheld.
Our fellow citizens are invited to compare the present with former administrations—view your navy yard in the city of Washington—the labourers discharged, armors dismissed—ships, boats, and public property of various descriptions, going to ruin. If you ask the reason, why this destruction is permitted—the answer will be—No specific appropriation of money, has been made (by congress) to purchase plank and hire workmen to save your ships of war from rotting; to pay men for improving your navy yards, or save your property from ruin and waste. If circumstances render an augmentation of your naval force necessary—NO MONEY—if picaroons and plunderers should infest your coast; your merchants must be robbed; a scarcity in those articles of life which they bring you is the consequence; hence the price is increased perhaps an hundred per cent, and the people must be taxed, for the negligence of their government; you will ask again; why are we subjected to these evils? No money must be the answer.
Let it be understood, however, fellow citizens, that your treasury is not empty, the federalists by their judicious and economical measures, provided for all these exigencies—but Mr. Gallatin, who is the father of all appropriation bills, in his specific sagacity has thought proper to reduce the department to this extremity. Thofands must be lost when the same might be saved by the expenditure of a few hundred.—You are requested fellow citizens—we mean American citizens, to view these things—your president has appointed a Treasurer—and your president is weak enough to believe that the secretary of the whiskey insurrection, a factious foreigner, who has opposed the federal constitution, and the measure of government for twelve years, in the best financier for the American Nation.

The Citizen* falls foul of poor Bonaparte, with as much violence as if he was a rank Burrite. But turn over the files of that paper for a year or two past and you will see that it was once as much the "godlike Bonaparte," as it was "the virtuous, amiable Burr." Now, he not only attacks the godlike Bonaparte as "a cor-

rupter of every thing pure," but he goes further and attacks the "GREAT NATION" itself, whilom the theme of incessant adulation, and calls it in plain terms, "a nation always renowned, if not dreaded, for its subtle intrigues, and not less at present for the rapid and insensible diffusion of its deadly poison," just as Mr. Burr is all at once discovered to be an individual of inordinate ambition, and habituated to subtle intrigues.
Before we finish this article we have one question for the Citizen:—He undertakes to assert, expressly, that "Our Minister (Mr. Livingston) was instructed to remonstrate against it, [the cession] but he arrived too late."—Pray sir, what authority have you for this assertion? to remonstrate? Did Mr. Jefferson undertake to instruct his minister to remonstrate? This is the plain and simple question I mean to ask, and I shall not now embarrass it by adding another, viz. With what face could Mr. Jefferson tell the French Court that he had such a preference for the Spaniards, that he must insist on having them for his neighbors instead of the French? We have not forgot neither, that the Aurora of March 22, asserted, that "he knew that Mr. Livingston was not 48 hours in Paris, when, agreeable to his instructions, he took up this subject, and that the issue had been the abandonment of the design by the French Government!" However, we do not mean to urge this upon the Aurora or the Citizen; it was undoubtedly only an instance of "the necessary arts of an able editor."—We conclude by repeating our question to the Citizen, whether it be really so, that Mr. Jefferson did instruct Mr. Livingston to remonstrate against the cession? And further—how he knows that Mr. Livingston did not arrive till after the cession was completed? We wait the answer.
