STATE PAPER.
Declaration read by the Minister of Bohemia in the second sitting of the deputation of the Empire, in regard to the indemnities of the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
According to the 5th article of the treaty of Luneville, his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Tuscany ought to obtain a full and complete indemnity for the loss of the Grand Duchy of that name. The amount of this loss may be determined and proved in the most authentic manner. By an exact enumeration of the population of the Grand Duchy, recently made, it is certain that it contained 1,500,000 souls, on 440 square miles; and the account published of the finances of Tuscany, by the late Emperor Joseph II. a statement admired and applauded by all Europe, makes the public and ordinary revenues of the country during the year 1789, deducting the expenses of collection, to be above nine millions of livres of Florence, which are equal to above three million eight hundred thousand German florins. From these data one may be easily convinced, that ten years after, the Revenues of the Grand Duchy amounted to four millions, a sum at which his Royal Highness the Grand Duke thinks he may in conscience state them; but without this amelioration, the loss of the Grand Duke may be estimated at more than four millions, taking into account the interest of the revenues of which his Royal Highness has been deprived since the 18th September 1800. In regard to the reparation of this loss, there have been proposed for that purpose, by the imperial court. 1st. The Ecclesiastical states of Salzburg, Bercholdsgaden, and Passau. The first of which, according to the documents published in 1801 by the Chancellor of Salzburg, does not yield entirely 900,000 florins: the revenues of the second are much less than 200,000 florins, & those of the third are at most 200,000 fls. which makes under the most favorable supposition one million 330,000 florins. 2dly, The Ecclesiastical States of the free towns in Suabia, proper for being employed as indemnities, and of which the total produce, according to the best works in statistics amount to about 2,370,000 florins, a sum which approaches in a certain degree to that of the revenues of Tuscany, between which, however, and the proposed counties there is this difference, that the first forms a territory connected in all its parts, and which by its situation and soil is superior while the other counties are altogether scattered. In this state of things it may be easily conceived how much the Imperial court ought to be surprised to find in the present plan presented by the mediating powers, in regard to the indemnification of the Grand Duke, proposals which suppress as least two thirds of what is due to that Prince, according to the 5th article of the Treaty of Luneville, by confining the indemnities, 1st, to the territories of Salzburg, Bercholdsgaden, and Passau, except the town and territory of the latter bishopric, situated beyond the Inn and the Uz; 2d, to two other objects, altogether insignificant, and no way proper to serve as an indemnity, viz. the bishoprics of Trent and Brixon, the first of which brings only 40,000 florins; and the second 60,000 and which both, notwithstanding that their Bishops are personally invested with the dignity of princes of the empire, form part of the States of the Tyrol, so that their inhabitants are subject to the territorial superiority of Austria, in regard to contributions and military conscription. 3d, To the mediate Abbeys and Convents, which may be comprehended in the countries assigned to the Grand Duke. It is to be remarked on this subject, that in these countries of the empire, there are no considerable mediate chapters, and besides that mediate chapters, and convents subject to sovereignty, are no way proper to form the indemnity of a sovereign; and that, in the Russian and French plan, the Chapters and Convents situated in the countries which are to serve for indemnities, are destined to be placed at the disposition of the new Clergy, or for the maintenance of those which have been suppressed. The Imperial Court consequently cannot abstain from expressing, and reserving to itself, in the most solemn manner, the rights of the Grand Duke to a fuller indemnification, agreeably to the Treaty of Luneville, & to recommend the fulfilment of it to the due attention of the deputation, as well as to the two mediating Powers.
The undersigned is at the same time charged to declare, in the name of his Royal and Imperial Majesty—1st. That the Imperial Court is ready to submit the estimation of the loss and the indemnities due to the Grand Duke to the same principles, which shall be adopted in regard to the other powers to be indemnified.—2d. That the Imperial Court expects that equal treatment in whatever may be determined in regard to the prerogatives, extensions, and restrictions, in the manner of possessing and enjoying the countries of the indemnities.—3d. That on its side the Imperial Court is ready to pay all that attention, and shew all that moderation which may contribute to terminate as speedily as possible the affair of the indemnities to the satisfaction of the parties concerned, as well as of the mediating powers.
FROM THE BALANCE.
ON EDUCATION.
No. XX.
"Nor less shall thy fair ones to glory ascend, And genius and beauty in harmony blend; The graces of form shall awake pure desire, And the charms of the soul ever cherish the fire: Their sweetness unmingled, their manners refin'd, And virtue's bright image enstamp'd on their mind, With peace, and soft rapture, shall teach life to glow, And light up a smile in the aspect of woe."
DWIGHT.
MONTESQUIEU, speaking of the influence of the female sex on public morals and manners, says, "The felicity of a state depends on the virtues of the women." The truth of this sentiment might be evinced and illustrated by advertizing to the history of some of the most famous among the ancient nations, and particularly of those, whose forms of government were of the republican kind. The most shining periods of their history were those in which the modesty, fidelity, economy, & various other domestic virtues of the female sex, inspired the men with noble sentiments and prompted them to deeds of honor: and the fatal harbinger of their fall & destruction was the declension of female virtue. Women are the guides of infancy and early childhood. From them are received the first and most indelible impressions; and their influence in society ever increases with the increase of civilization and social refinement. Through the benign influence of the christian system, the general diffusion of knowledge and the superior refinement of taste and sentiment, Women have risen to a very important rank in social life. It is seen that she has a mind as well as a form: her capacity for intellectual improvements and her right, in common with that of the other sex, to a participation of intellectual enjoyments are freely acknowledged. In the mean time, the importance of female education has become a trite theme, on which the tongues and the pens of the learned and ingenious have frequently descanted. Any attempt therefore, to add to the numerous arguments in support of a sentiment, that has now become generally obvious, would be equally difficult and useful. But the question, respecting the best modes and most useful objects of female education, both in regard to individual happiness and the interests of the public, is worthy of discussion.
Whether the sexes be equal or unequal, in mental powers, it is evident that their destinations are different. The female form, while it is more graceful than that of the other sex, is inferior in point of strength; and, consequently, is less adapted to the rugged and perilous occupations and boisterous scenes of life. Female children are commonly less roving in their dispositions; and less turbulent and obstinate in their tempers: they are more docile and more domestic, than those of the other sex. Hence it plainly appears to be the ordination of nature, that women should be employed chiefly in the various business of the domestic kind. And, as the designs of nature are never thwarted with impunity, those women, who declining to be confined to the feminine sphere of action, usurp the business and ape the manners of men, are punished for this usurpation, by the loss of their attractions.
They roughen to the sense, & all The winning softness of their sex is lost. The spectacle of a Hercules, playing at
a distaff, or of a venerable judge, taking his seat, in a female dishabille, would scarcely be more absurd and ridiculous, than that of a woman, who should affect the airs, the manners and the peculiar pursuits of the other sex. Now, as the business of education is not to thwart, but to assist the designs of nature, it is plain that the general scheme of female instruction should be appropriate to the female character and sphere of action. A zealous advocate for the rights of women, who is accustomed to follow theory, rather than the track of nature, might alledge, that as their capacities are competent to the profoundest investigations and disquisitions on learned subjects, any limitation to their scientific pursuits is an arbitrary abridgement of those intellectual privileges and enjoyments, which they ought to possess, in common with them.
But, without calling in question the strength of female intellect, or attempting to abridge its charter of rights, let the following queries be considered. Are they not the happiest among women, who are contented within the circle of enjoyments, pursuits and amusements, which are chiefly of the domestic kind? Does women ever appear so graceful and lovely, as in the domestic characters and relations of an affectionate sister and a dutiful daughter; of a faithful and loving wife and a kind mother, rearing up her offspring and guiding them in wisdom's ways; and of a discreet mistress of a family, combining prudent economy with hospitality? Would not any man of sense and correct taste chuse rather to be connected in marriage with a woman of a plainly cultivated understanding, an obliging temper, domestic in her habits, and capable and disposed to guide his household affairs with discretion, than with a Mary Wollstonecraft, who handed wine to a gentleman-vizitor, in a broken tea-cup, alledging, in excuse, that she was too much occupied in literary matters to give any attention to the furnishing of her room?
"The profession of women," says a justly celebrated female author, "to which the bent of their instruction should be turned, is that of daughters, wives, mothers and mistresses of families. They should therefore be trained with a view to these several conditions, and be furnished with a flock of ideas and principles, and qualifications and habits, ready to be applied and appropriated, as occasion may demand, to each of their respective situations." The education and discipline of girls should be such as will tend to inspire them with a love of home; such as will qualify and dispose them to make "well-ordered home man's best delight." By the guiding hand of prudence and friendship, they should be led to the acquisition of those kinds of knowledge, whether relating to worldly cares and occupations, or literary subjects, which will be most useful for them in those particular departments wherein they are probably to act. They should be early taught that the principal object of reading is not amusement, but the acquisition of practical knowledge; and those books should be carefully selected for their perusal, which will correct their imaginations, inform their judgments and improve their hearts. Vicious & futile books are as contaminating as bad company; and therefore girls should be as careful, respecting the books they read, as of the company they keep.

From the GAZETTE of the U. STATES.
Letter from a young Gentleman travelling in Europe.
ANTWERP, Sept. 1, 1802.
We have been very busy these three days. At nine o'clock on Sunday morning, we left Amsterdam in a yacht of Mr. Insinger, who very politely furnished it with the where-withals, and accompanied us the first stage. In this boat we made thirty miles, at about three miles an hour, drawn by two horses. At six we reached Utrecht, in which town the confederacy that originated the Batavian republic was formed. The ground was somewhat higher, more diversified, English and pleasant. About eleven the next day we sat out, with four horses, and with some difficulty, arrived in the evening at Rotterdam. At two in the morning we failed in a small vessel that was provided for us, & through the Meuse, cuts and canals, got to Williamstadt by noon. After an hour spent in procuring horses, we took our departure. Ten or twelve miles carried us off the dykes into Brabant, and the deepest
lands, through which we laboured as many more to the French posts, where a good passport and a little money readily introduced us, and between eleven & twelve at night we gained this second Florence.
As to Holland, where our entertainment was extremely gracious, we are agreed, that it is a wonderful country, redeemed by incredible labour, and at incalculable cost, from the ocean; that the irrepressible resistance of the nation to Spanish domination, and their immutability of character do them honour; that their De Witts, De Ruyters, artists and painters do them still more; but, that they are a fallen people; that they are the slaves of the French, who have exacted from them a vast deal of money, and whatever statuary of painting they had which was worth taking; that they are surrounded by mighty kingdoms, that eclipse and absolutely smother their glories; that they charged us outrageously, and cheated us egregiously, at every town; and that we are rejoiced at having left them forever.
We did not find the difficulty at the barriers we expected. We were twice examined, or rather should have been, but the passport from Mr. Otto, backed by two or three florins at each place, made our entry unobjectionable. I am disposed to believe, that if travellers would pay at first, which they always must do finally, frontier exactions would be seldom heard of.
The town where we are, is, you know of no great consideration just now. I have seen the far-founding Scheldt, which is a bout as wide as the Schuylkill, but much more rapid and deeper. There are in it a few vessels. Time was, when 200,000 wealthy inhabitants filled the now crumbling and dilapidated houses of Antwerp; when 500 ships daily weighed anchor from the harbour; when John Daens lent Charles V. a million of gold for the conduct of his wars, and burnt the bond of Acknowledgment in a fire of cinnamon; when the two brothers, De Koning, paid, one the confederate, and the other Louis 14th's forces. For a century and a half this once great city has been torpid and mouldering. Great but experimental efforts, are now making to reanimate her. Whether she will ever rise to her former imposing posture is a problem; and it is certain, that it must be the work of years. Her rival, Amsterdam, holds an unrivaled capital. The parallel between them, will run exactly between Washington and Philadelphia; the one has a great nation and the conveniences with it, the other wealth. Our host tells me, that houses which, before the opening of the Scheldt, might have been had for 15, cannot now be bought for 2500 louis; but then he is a native, and interested. What the honest statement is I cannot precisely understand, or whether the emigrations have been many of late. The town certainly, looks crazy, and untenanted. A short time will decide its fate.
Antwerp has been accounted a very strong place. It is walled and moated, and defended besides by a fortress constructed by Van Can, which is reckoned so excellent, as to have served for the model of many others. The street in which our hotel stands is spacious and handsome; generally they are narrow and dark. There are two very large cathedrals, one of which has been entirely stripped, and the other beaucoup degaree , by the great nation. The last is full of confessionals. In the yard there is a representation of purgatory and of Mount Calvary, all the figures as large as life. In order the more to liken the tomb to reality, a frightful stink is emitted from it. This residence of the true body is absurd and disgusting. The steeple of this church is said to be 600 feet high, and the body 500 long. To the height of the steeple I would not swear.
Two men were guillotined here yesterday. Robberies and murders have been frequent in the neighborhood, the gens d'armarie , within the French lines, are a considerable check; but beyond them banditti are said to be numerous, and the very country through which we rode in the dark last night, unmolested and unconcerned, is the part most infested. If I had known this circumstance, I should not have slept, as I did, the greatest part of the way.
NEW-YORK, November 23.
The British Packet Lord Chesterfield arrived at this port yesterday in 14 days from Falmouth. She left Falmouth on the 15th Oct. and brings London papers to the 9th.
The plan of indemnities proposed to

Germany by Russia and France, has not been acceded to by the Emperor; and the delay has given so much offence to the French Government that its Minister at the Court of Vienna has received orders to return home if the business should not be settled immediately. In that case the conditions of the plan will be enforced at the point of the bayonet, and 30,000 French troops are said to be in readiness for this purpose.
The revolution in Switzerland is progressing with great rapidity. The seat of government is in possession of the insurgents, who are headed by the Baron d'Erlach & M. de Watteville, the latter of whom is appointed commander in chief. The prospect of tranquillity to this distracted part of Europe appears very distant.

Letters were received in Norwich last week, announcing the disagreeable intelligence of the capture and condemnation at Lima of the ship Miantinomo, Captain Swaine, of that port. The Oneco, Capt. Howe, in the same employ, was sold to defray expence.
LONDON, October 4.
The Paris Journals received this morning up the 1st inst. contain intelligence of considerable importance respecting the troubles which have distracted Switzerland for some time. The enemies of the new Constitution have proved too powerful for its supporters, and their army, headed by the celebrated Baron D'Erlach and M. D. Watteville has made itself master of Berne, the seat of government. The success was not, however, accomplished without a considerable effusion of blood in various parts of the country, as well as in the desperate engagement which took place under the walls previous to the surrender of the town. In every direction the efforts of the insurgents have proved triumphant, and a complete Revolution has been effected.
M. De Watteville was, on the 29th, named commander in chief, and paid a visit to the French minister Verniac, who gave him a very obliging reception. The bear, and the colors of Berne, are already restored to their wonted places. Friburg has surrendered to the peasant army. Soleure likewise surrendered on the 17th.
A new constitutional settlement has been drawn up, which has united a great number of suffrages. It has for its object a federative union with a central government.
The army under Baron d'Erlach, which has effected this revolution, is chiefly composed of the Swiss emigrants who had been in the English service, of deserters from the Helvetic troops, and of the officers and soldiers who, previous to the French revolution, had served in France and Holland.
The peasants with whom they are incorporated are extremely numerous, and the funds destined to support them are supposed to be very considerable, principally composed of voluntary contributions. The whole of Erlach's army is calculated at no less than 30,000 men.
It is not yet known whether France will interfere; but the general opinion in Switzerland was, that the First Consul would allow the inhabitants to regulate their own constitution.
What will be the issue of the misunderstanding on the subject of the Indemnities, between the Cabinet of Vienna, on the one part, and France, Russia, Prussia, and the Great States of the Empire, on the other, it is not difficult to anticipate. Although the Imperial commissioner still refuses to ratify the Conclusum of the extraordinary deputation Austria must at length feel the necessity of acceding to the new plan of territorial distribution and appropriation. Notwithstanding the statements given in several articles from Germany, that the Emperor has recalled the officers and soldiers absent upon leave or on furlough, and that the Archduke Charles is collecting a considerable army in Bohemia, he would, by entering into war with powers so very superior to him in strength and resources, inevitably expose his own possessions in the empire, as well as his hereditary dominions, to the greatest danger. His opposition is most probably, a feint to gain, in the modifications and changes which remain to be made, some important concessions for the
Grand Duke. He can, however, entertain no sanguine hopes of accomplishing this object, as the First Consul has personally pledged himself for the security of Bavaria, and in that assurance he is decidedly supported by the Court of Petersburg. This system of delay, cannot, however, last much longer, and we look to the final adjustment of the question in the course of the present month.
The complete evacuation of Egypt, by our troops is announced in letters from Constantinople of the 12th ult.
CORN EXCHANGE, Oct. 8.
We have to day but few arrivals of wheat as well as of most kinds of grain; best quality sells readily at nearly our last prices; barley and malt are plentiful, but sell rather heavily, our supply of pease is short, and they are dearer; as also are beans somewhat higher; in rye is a little alteration; oats a tolerable supply, and they continue to maintain their prices; flour remains nearly as last week.
FALMOUTH, October 3.
Arrived this day, the Duke of York packet, with a mail from Lisbon, ten days passage. Left there, the ship Amsterdam Packet, Capt. Henry Grey, from New York, performing quarantine, of which eleven days had expired.
October 5.
Arrived this day, the Princess Amelia Packet, Capt. Stevens, with mails from New York and Halifax, in 23 days.
Sailed the American ship New Jersey, Capt. Cooper, for Stangate Creek, to perform quarantine, in consequence of her having lost the mate and one of the crew by the yellow fever in Philadelphia.
PORTSMOUTH, October 5.
Yesterday morning, about a quarter past six, a sudden violent gust of wind or whirlwind came on, and lasted about 20 minutes; it carried every thing almost before it, and we are concerned to state, that it occasioned the oversetting the ship Thames from the West Indies, at the back of the Isle of Wight, and the ship and whole crew were in a moment lost. A ship or two were in sight but felt themselves so much of the hurricane, that they could render no assistance.
October 7.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27.
HAS Democracy ever been tried? And what has experience decided? Has it been found practicable to establish the plan of government that the government should not rule the people, but that the people should rule the rulers? — And how has that delightful scheme succeeded? The wish to try it is in the nature of man, which prompts him to love to rule better than to be ruled. The evidence of the operation of this unalterable passion is in history. Is there one instance of the infinite number of trials where it has answered well? Who has not been disappointed that has planted cucumbers below low water mark, or has tried to keep ice in a baker's oven? To talk of Democracy and Liberty, is nonsense. As well might you describe the zepherys of Pandemonium , or talk of the flowery borders of Styx or Phlegethon whose waves are boiling pitch.
Why then, as common sense and old experience have brought Democracy to the test, & found it to be folly in its original and despotism in the end, should we try it? There is not much in our plan of government to mark the shades of character that discriminate a Republic which is good, from a Democracy that is, and ever will be miserable and wicked. The Senate is one shade. That Mr. Epps would more than alter; he would make it the auxiliary of the foe, not the champion of liberty. The Judiciary is another, that is abolished, and let America tremble. Why then should we be forced to try a Democracy so often tried to the ruin of liberty? We, of this generation, have seen others run headlong, and they have found Democracy a stone-wall. Do the Democrats insist that we also shall run our heads against it, because they think our heads, like their own, are harder than the stone wall. ( Palladium. )
Extract of a letter from Chillicothe, North-Western territory, November 4th 1802.
"The convention yesterday agreed, with only one dissentient vote, to come into the Union, and to form a constitution for the state."
ADVICE.
If you wish to make a man a democrat, you must take him on one side, and request him to be a candidate for such and such offices; you must tell him that the internal taxes did not pay for the collection; that the present administration, consists of men eminent for patriotism, virtue and talent; that Jefferson is distinguished for chastity, candour and courage ; that Gallatin is celebrated for his humanity , in proof of which, produce the resolutions he signed just before the western insurrection, and published in the Aurora ; that Lincoln is thorough read in laws , and that Granger is employed night and day in evincing his love of truth and in restoring harmony to social intercourse ; and when you have told him all this, wind up the story handsomely by swearing that all federalists are tories ; that they wish to have a king in the country and that it is a secret , but you know the man whom they have pitched upon to wear the crown.
If the person with whom you converse is either a simpleton or a knave , these truths cannot fail (as Jefferson said of Calender's Prospect before Us) to produce the best effect.
AN OLD HAND.
N. B. Be careful never to drop such wholesome truths before men of sense, read-
ing and principle; they will only laugh at you. [ N. B. Guardian. ]
The following is a copy of a letter from Captain Morris of the brig Franklin, captured in the Mediterranean, to the American consul, at Tunis. It contains information which imperiously demands the consideration of our government, and may likewise be serviceable to the commercial community.
TRIPOLI, July 21st, 1802.
I expect ere this Mr. O'Brien has informed you of my capture, but as I had not an opportunity during the Corsairs tarry at Algiers to inform him of particulars, I take this early opportunity to mention, that I failed with the brig Franklin belonging to Messrs. Summer and Brown of Philadelphia, from Marseilles, with an assorted cargo for the West India market, on the 8th ult. and on the night of the 17th, then off Cape Palos was boarded by one of the three Tripoline Gallotts, mounting four guns, that failed from this place about the 20th of May — I shall pass over the occurrences of that night as you are well acquainted with the conduct of the Barbarians towards the unfortunate that fall in their hands. — They proceeded with the prize to Algiers where we arrived on the 20th, and as I conjectured by the representations of Capt. O'Brien they were obliged to make hasty departure on the 27th following without accomplishing their intentions which was to sell the brig &c. what with contrary winds and calms we did not reach the port of Bezerte in your neighborhood, until the 7th inst. where after a tarry of five days we departed leaving the brig there, and arrived at this place the 19th inst. — Through the interference of Mr. N. Nimen his Danish Majesty's Consul here, I have the liberty of the town, and by a lucky event Mr. Donough claimed my two officers and one seaman as British subjects, and obtained their release, so that they have only myself and three more American captives, two of which are black men, you will readily agree with me that this will lessen the value of the capture to the Bey — I cannot pass over the disappointment in not meeting with any of our vessels of war off Cape Bon, a place that the great necessity of guarding must appear evident to every naval commander, but more on this subject at some future opportunity. The most provoking circumstance was off this port, when we arrived within about twelve miles the Corsair with our flag reversed began to salute the town, and so continued at the intervals until she anchored, which was more than five hours, and all this in view of a Swedish and American frigate, who never made the smallest effort to obstruct our progress, at all events they had it in their power to run the corsair on shore before he could get within shot of the forts. I do not wish to attach any blame to any man, but this transaction was too public to remain a secret, and as an American excites my indignation — The three Corsairs is now all in port, and I am well informed is to set sail immediately and cruise. Morad Bais alias Latfe, is to take command of them, in a small Italian built vessel of 12 guns. — You I have no doubt will take the most active measures to give the needful information to our vessels of war, and merchantmen in the ports of these seas — It was the sanguine assurances that I had from several quarrels of the impossibility of their cruisers to get out that led me to sea, without convoy or arms. Fatal experience has convinced me to the contrary but I hope it will prevent any more falling into their hands and excite our vessels of war to more vigilance. — And I must repeat to you the great necessity for one or two vessels being stationed off Cape Bon; well in with the shore, they will certainly interrupt the enemy, and such an event would have a good effect at this moment.
