OF LOUISIANA.—LETTER III.
The reasons assigned by a French writer, for taking possession of Louisiana, must be very satisfactory to the maritime powers in Europe, for it seems to be published as a kind of manifesto for their information. It is very proper says the French apologists that, the strongest power in Europe should be charged with the care of holding the United States in check. That is to say, it is proper that we, the French nation, who have lately become strong enough by land to give laws to all the powers in Europe, should also have the means of becoming the strongest power by sea; thus we shall be enabled to give laws to all the maritime states in Europe and America, and we shall astonish the world by our displays of moderation and justice—Nothing can be more reasonable than the investing of all power in the hands of a single nation. England may rejoice in that fortunate event, for she will be relieved from the trouble and enormous expence of supporting a navy, the Swedes, the Danes, the Russians, and the Dutch, are also to be profited by the contemplated event. They will be relieved from the toil of building ships above the dignity of a droger. It might appear necessary to build a few frigates or sloops of war for the protection of commerce against pirates, but the great nation will take care of that business—for their ships alone will be worth robbing. Such, as I conceive, is the meaning or the spirit of the apology, for it will hardly be disputed, that the naval superiority of France is to follow as a necessary consequence of her great colony in Louisiana. The exports of that country alone must increase her carrying trade to an incalculable extent. The colony will supply her with boundless materials for ship building. It will render her planters in the West-Indies absolutely independent of every other nation for supplies of every kind. It will enable her to manage the whole of her own West-India commerce. Other benefits of a very substantial nature must arise from the settlement of Louisiana.—We know that sugar of an excellent quality is made in the southern part of the province, and it appears that rice, tobacco, cotton, and indigo, may be cultivated there to the greatest extent. The European markets, in all probability, will depend on France for a chief part of their American supplies. What a source of wealth to the guardian of the Spanish colonies! What a nursery for seamen to the protector of European planters in the West Indies! Is it to be supposed that a nation so just and moderate as the French; A nation so little actuated by motives of ambition; so little disposed to plunder her neighbors or encroach upon their territories, should ever think of surveying the Spanish mines or laying her hand upon the little sugar islands in the West Indies? In a word, it is admitted that France only needs the command at sea, a command that must arise from the commerce of Louisiana, to make her not only the protector of the Spanish mines and the West India colonies, but the legislative guardian of her antient rival.
It cannot be said, with any colour of truth, that the settlement of Louisiana is intended to injure one part of the union in distinction from another. It will affect the northern and southern states in a different manner; but the measure is equally hurtful to the extremes. We are taught by the French themselves to look for the operations of a rigid navigation act. By the effect of such regulations when a colony is settled in Louisiana, two thirds of the New-England carrying trade will be cut off. The French may supply their own sugar plantations entirely, and they will be our rivals in the Danish, Dutch, Spanish and English Islands. It is known that wild horses and mules, of an excellent quality, may be purchased at present in hundreds at five dollars the head in Louisiana. The whole West-India market may be amply supplied with live stock from that province, and it will be found, that cattle raised in a warm climate are fittest for West-India labour. It has been stated, and the reader will certainly perceive that the exports of tobacco, cotton and rice from Louisiana and Florida, must depress the staple of the southern states. The failure of those exports will be injurious to the northern carrier at the same time that it destroys the southern planter. The southern states are only to be distinguished by the accidental circumstance of coming first in contact with the citizens of the
great nation. The northern states will enjoy the favor that Polyphemus promised the king of Ithaca, to be the last in being devoured. I have said nothing about the desertion of servants, insurrections, or other means that may be used to annoy or ruin the southern planters. Every part of the projected business must be painful but this may be tragical . — ULYSSES.
FROM THE BALACE. ON EDUCATION.
THE Romans made it a primary object of attention to educate their children in the principles, ceremonies and practices of their religion; and some of their most distinguished statesmen have declared that the strength and glory of the commonwealth was owing, in a great measure, to this important circumstance.
A writer of considerable note has remarked concerning that celebrated nation, that "they founded their system of policy upon the best and wisest principle, the fear of the Gods; a firm belief of a divine superintending Providence, and a future state of rewards and punishments. Their children were trained up in this belief from tender infancy, which took root and grew up with them, by the influence of an excellent education, where they had the benefit of example as well as precept.—Hence we read of no heathen nation in the world, where both the public and private duties of religion were so strictly adhered to and so scrupulously observed, as among the Romans. They imputed their good or bad success to the observance of these duties, and they received public prosperity or public calamities, as blessings conferred, or punishments inflicted by their gods. Though the ceremonies of their religion justly appear to us, instances of the most absurd and most extravagant superstition, yet, as they were esteemed the most essential acts of religion by the Romans, they must consequently carry all the force of a religious principle ."
"Cicero, the great Roman Orator and Philosopher, speaking of his countrymen, says, "We neither exceeded the Spaniards in number, nor did we excel the Gauls in strength of body, nor the Carthaginians in craft, nor the Greeks in arts and sciences; but we have indisputably surpassed all the nations in the universe, in piety and attachment to religion, and in the only point that can be called the true wisdom, a thorough conviction that all things here below are directed and governed by divine Providence." To this principle alone he wisely attributes the grandeur and good fortune of his country.—From this principle proceeded that respect for and submission to their laws; and that temperance, moderation and contempt for wealth, which are the best defence against the encroachments of injustice and oppression. Hence too arose that inextinguishable love for their country, which, next to the gods, they looked upon as the chief object of veneration."
The leaders of the French revolution, on the contrary, while absurdly pretending to imitate the old Romans, built their republic on the rotten foundation of atheism. Like the fabled giants of old, they waged war against Heaven and attempted to dethrone the Most High. They manifested an infernal zeal to blot out of the minds of the people all ideas of accountability and a future state of existence; insomuch that this most horrid inscription was fixed on the gate of a public burying yard, by order of the municipality, "Death is an everlasting sleep." An explicit avowal of atheism by a member, in presence of the national assembly, was received with shouts of applause. They even encouraged their children and youth to come forward and deny God: and a deputation of school boys actually went before the national legislators, while in session, and declared themselves to be atheists; meanwhile the Gallic hall, or rather pandemonium, resounded with plaudits at this monstrous declaration from infant lips.
In this respect, France stands as an awful beacon to warn the world. By means of atheistical principles, generally diffused among the body of the people, and instilled into the minds even of children, that nation has sunk most deeply into the mire of moral turpitude and become familiarized to every species of atrocious crimes.
Wherever the principles of atheism take root, whether among Frenchmen or Americans, they will inevitably produce "the grapes of Sodom and the clusters of Gomorrah." They will invincibly tend to loosen the bands of society, to destroy all social order, and to engender innumerable destructive vices and crimes. Therefore, abstract-
ed from other infinitely solemn and important considerations, it is absolutely necessary, in a political view, to educate children in the fear of God, or to give their tender minds a deep impression of right and wrong and of their accountability to the supreme judge, "Who seeth in secret, and will reward them according to their works." This is the ground-work of good education.—Building on this rock is the only way to rear children for excellence and usefulness, as citizens, and in the various social and domestic departments. Virtue, thus founded will stand the shock of storms and tempests; whereas the virtue of an atheist is false & hollow, and by no means deserves the name. It is a painted harlot. Those "locusts from the bottomless pit," the French philosophers, while they were sowing over the world the seeds of disorder and confusion, loudly extolled virtue and pretended to be her votaries:—but, "by their fruits we know them." SENECA.
NEW-YORK, July 14.
Last evening the brig Tiger arrived at this port in 30 days from Bordeaux. She left the river on the 10th of June, and brings Paris Papers to the 2d of that month, inclusive, of which a file is received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser. From the extracts we have given, our reader will perceive that nothing very important has transpired since the date of our former advices.
The Consuls of the French Republic on the report of the minister of marine and colonies, decreed on the 26th of May that the Islands of Martinique and St. Lucie shall in future be under the regulation of three magistrates, viz. a captain-general, a colonial prefect, and a grand judge.
A subscription is set on foot in France (to which the First Consul contributes as a private citizen) for rendering the Seine navigable to Paris.
The London papers mentioned on the 19th May, M. Otto received a courier from France who was the bearer of a formula inclosed in a large book wherein the French, residing in England, are to write their votes on the question, "Shall Napoleon Bonaparte be Consul for life?"
From the 7th of April to the 1st of May, 24 vessels left the port of Dantzic for Havre, wholly loaded with grain: and 9 others were taking in a cargo of the same article at Dantzic on the 15th, intended also for Havre. There is a great scarcity of grain throughout the republic, insomuch that all exportation of it has been prohibited.
A gentleman who came passenger in the Tiger informs us that the day before he failed, a decree of the Consuls had been received at Bordeaux, which, he understood, prohibited all foreign vessels for a limited time from trading with any of the French West-India Islands.
Translated for the Mercantile Advertiser. PARIS, May 31.
His excellency Ghaleb Effendi, bach-mouhassabe (comptroller-general of the finances) minister plenipotentiary and envoy of the Sublime Porte near the government of the Republic, left Vienna the beginning of Prairial [about the 25th of May.] He is at this moment arrived at Strasburg. The First Consul had sent citizen Dupas, superior adjutant of the Palace of Government, to the frontiers to meet that minister, and citizen Dantan, first interpreter of the French Legation at Constantinople.
By virtue of a decree of the Consuls of the 26th May, the execution of the law which prohibits the exportation of flints is suspended during peace.
Citizen Coquebert Montbret commissary general of commercial relations at Amsterdam, is appointed to the same office at London.
The minister of the interior has just ordered that there shall be this year an exhibition of the productions of painters, sculptors, architects, and engravers, which is to continue from the 10th Fructidor to the 15th Brumaire following [Sept. 2 to Nov. 5.] There will be at the same time an exhibition of the works intended to celebrate the Treaty of Amiens and the law on the Liberty of Worship.
The Prefects write from all the departments that the will of the citizens is unanimous for the nomination of the First Consul for life.
Business continues here in a very stagnant state, and the course of exchange experiences little variation.
LONDON, May 23.
Letters from Malta of March 30, men-
tion that Vice admiral Bickerton, had failed for Egypt in the Madras of 54 guns; and that the evacuation of Malta by our troops was to take place on the arrival of the Cæsar of 84 guns, under Sir James Saumarez, who was momentarily expected.

Dispatches have been received from Bengal, announcing that the province of Oude had come under the domination of the East India Company, and that the Brother of Marquis Wellesley is appointed deputy-governor, having under him Messrs. Matthew, Lillie, and Seaton. The Company having granted a pension to the Nabob. Marquis Wellesley was to depart for England on his return from Lucknow, retaining however his station of Governor of Bengal. Orders have been sent to his lordship for the immediate reduction of his guard.
The reduction of the army is taking place with the greatest alacrity. Six regiments are about to depart for Ireland, to replace the fencible and militia corps who are to be disbanded.
Mr. Addington, proposing yesterday in the House of commons, and in the committee of supply, to vote the 173,551. sterling, for the relief of French Emigrants and American Royalists, took that opportunity of announcing that every facility was given to the former to return to their country. He added that the good will of the French government on the one part, in permitting their return, and the disposition of England on the other, in concurring with the same object, was the strongest proof of the mutual desire of the two countries to cherish those pacific sentiments which have so happily put an end to the war.
HAGUE, May 26.
The first port at which Admiral De Winter will touch will be Malaga. Though nothing is officially published respecting the destination of the squadron under his command, it is however known that he will first visit the Barbarian Powers, with whom the Admiral is instructed to renew the commercial relations which have been neglected or interrupted by the war.

Extract of a letter from the consul of the U. States at Malaga, to the Secretary of State, dated April 22, 1802.
"No innovation has taken place in the quarantine laws on vessels from the United States, since the regulation mentioned in my last." Vessels that do not come furnished with a bill of health, certified by the Spanish consul resident in the district they proceed from, are kept in observation the number of days that the deputies of this board of health think proper, though they seldom exceed from ten to twenty."
* That vessels from the U. S. should be admitted to entries upon certificates from the Spanish Consuls in ports whence they failed, & that no contagious disorders prevail there.
REFLECTIONS
ON THE LATE EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE. The information which the last arrivals have brought from Europe, is deeply interesting. Whatever passes on that great theatre, naturally excites the attention of the whole civilized world. Most of the nations of that quarter of the globe are peaceably disposed, and when subjects of controversy arise, soon accommodate their differences in an amicable manner. But the old rivalry that subsists between Great-Britain and France, seldom suffers these nations to remain at peace with each other longer than is sufficient to recruit those resources which are exhausted by war. When hostilities between them commence, they contrive to involve the greater part of the civilized world, directly or incidentally, in their disputes. When they are at peace, all the world is obliged to watch their measures, and are induced to look up to them, as objects of curiosity, as persons in private look up to high and distinguished characters. On the theatre of France, three great events have lately occurred, which merit the peculiar attention of the friends of religion, of liberty, and of humanity—these are:—The re-establishment of the Roman Catholic Re-
ligion—the election of Bonaparte as consul for life—and the restoration of the slave trade.
After witnessing the immense pains that have been taken by all the French Philosophers and patriots, from Voltaire, D'Alembert and Diderot, down to Tom Paine, Robespierre and Barras, to misrepresent and eradicate christianity—to corrupt the public opinion and morals—nay, even to abolish the worship of a Deity, and to substitute the principles and manners of Paganism in its place; it naturally excites astonishment to see the great change which has been effected by the influence and power of the first Magistrate of France. We might have supposed it possible that religion in general would have been recommended to the people as the foundation of good morals and of public order, and that all the different religious denominations would have been put on a footing, in the same manner in which they are put in this country by the constitution of the United States. But no—in direct violation of all those principles which have been established and admitted in France and America a particular dominant sect is taken under the patronage of government—an expensive priesthood—a privileged order is established, that will, at all risks, be continually aiming to regain the wealth and influence it possessed under the ancient regime.
A measure so bold and so hostile to those equal rights for which the French nation have been thought to contend, cannot fail of producing a high degree of discontent. The favored sect, regarding what has been done, not as a favor but as something short of justice, will be anxious to increase their privileges and their property, & will naturally associate themselves with the royalist party, to overturn the republic and restore the monarchy—while those various denominations of christians, who are excluded from the favor of government, will never cease to cherish a degree of envy towards the privileged sect, and of resentment against a system, which, like a partial parent, unjustly confines its smiles and its favors to one branch of the family, to the injury of all the rest.
Here then is a measure, not founded on the eternal rules of justice and sound policy—which cannot be defended on the principles of reason and the public good, and which must engender religious intolerance, envy, discontent and party-spirit. For a few years (should the life of Bonaparte be spared so long) these discords and religious animosities may be repressed; but the probability is, that they will one day burst forth and renew those scenes of civil contention and misery which have so often been exhibited on that "blood-stained soil."
There are persons yet living in this country, whose memories retain a strong impression of the calamitous effects produced by a revocation of the edict of Nantz. There are those who remember well the persecution of the Hugenots by the French Hierarchy, and who, with horror, look back to those times when the protestants in France dare not openly celebrate their worship, but were obliged to hold their religious assemblies at night, and in retired apartments of remote solitudes. How much larger a number of such persons must there be in France, whose apprehensions will be greatly roused in consequence of the re-establishment of the Catholic religion. In the south of France it was calculated, and so stated in the first National Assembly, that there were not less than three millions of protestants. During the revolution, it is not likely that this number has diminished, as the departments which they occupy have been the most exempt from internal discord, and never subject to foreign invasion. To all these, and to all other descriptions of Christians, except Catholics, it is highly probable that the late restoration of Catholicism will be an unpopular measure, and tend to abridge the term of Bonaparte's political existence.

[To be continued.]
We learn by captain Wiswall, that in consequence of the Governor of the Bahamas having laid a duty on all goods landed at Turks-Island, and also a duty of 1 penny per bushel on salt, the inhabitants are resolved not to dispose of any more of that article, under existing circumstances, and have sent a deputy to England, to obtain a repeal of the above acts, which they conceive highly oppressive. Several American vessels, which had touched there, were unable to procure any salt.
EXPLANATION OF THE WORD NEWS.
Many persons read newspapers, without attending to the importance of the word news? or the idea it ought to furnish us with. In the first place, as news come from all quarters of the terraqueous globe, so the very word itself clearly points out to us, viz. N. North, E. East, W. West, S. South; so that I believe no language in the world can furnish us with a title more equally expressive. Again, when seriously considered, it recommends to us the practice of the four following virtues, viz. Nobleness in our tho't, Equality in our dealings, Wisdom in our conduct, Sobriety in our lives.
Have our readers suitably pondered on the conduct of Mr. Jefferson towards Callender?
This is your Philosopher; practising such philosophical tricks of meanness as would raise a blush on Satan's cheek.
This is your honest man, who could caress and honor the name of Washington, and at the same time assist Freneau in stabbing his reputation: who could sincerely pray that no accident might happen so that he should be obliged to exercise the duties of chief magistrate instead of Mr. Adams, saying that they "had been justly confided to the eminent character" which had preceded him, whose talents and integrity had been known and revered by him during a long course of years;" and who yet could bribe a venal writer to hack his feelings and blast his character, by heaping lie upon lie, and base slander on base slander. This philosopher could openly extol the talents and integrity of Mr. Adams; could speak of him with reverence; and at the same time could possess a foul soul and vile enough to perpetrate deeds at which common hypocrisy would shudder. Where is the abandoned democrat who justifies this? There are not ten in the United States. Where is the democrat who is not ashamed of the executive? There are few if any. Where is the virtuous man whose bosom is not filled with pity, anger and contempt? He exists not.—We feel indignation, the strongest indignation: we wish not to lie under the imputation of that insensibility, or villainy, which does not feel indignation: nor would we lie under the imputation of that abominable Jeffersonian hypocrisy that dares not express what it feels.
Thus it appears that Mr. Jefferson has given Callender 350 dollars, 200 out of the public money, the amount of his fine; 100 while Callender was writing his "Prospect," and 50 when he applied for an office, from his own private purse. What money this honorable and virtuous executive has lavished, by way of bribes on Duane, previous to the unhappy commencement of the present administration, we know not; but we have good reason to suppose much greater sums than to Callender, either in money advanced, or in promises, depending on the success of their criminal policy, afterwards punctually performed—If Duane should become offended at the present administration, what crimes might he not expose; what a canvas of horrid pictures might he not justly correctly paint—If some wealthy federa-list should offer Duane a very large sum of money, we have no doubt but that he would thus expose his own and the villainy of rogues in high offices: for what objection could Duane have? He wants money; and as to character, he has none to injure, much less to lose.
We wonder how Mr. Jefferson appears, how he feels, when he looks honest men in the face, who are not ignorant of this as well as other means by which he so meanly and inhumanely obtained a seat justly due to another. What must be Jefferson's and Gallatin's feelings when they see such men as Callender and Duane, who are able, once affronted, still lower to sink their characters, so as to shame their associates, and to make still more pale the linen visage of democracy. We say inhumanely obtained his seat. Mr. Adams and Mr. Jefferson (the two names however ought not to be mentioned in the same sentence) were competitors for the office of president. Mr. Jefferson, to further his views bribed (for we can call it nothing else) one man at least inhumanely to represent his competitor as a weak, corrupt person; guilty of great crimes, and holding opinions injurious to the United States, &c. &c. Thus could he in this inhuman underhanded manner injure the character and wound the feelings of a sage and a patriot, whose shoes he is unworthy to stoop down and unloose.
We are not to be surprized that Mr. Adams should be greatly affected in his feelings. He had been above 30 years in the service of his country; & thus in the evening of life, conscious with what singleness of heart he had ever conducted, to see the ingratitude of his fellow citizens; to see honors leaving him, to be conferred on one who had no just claim to them, and who never could have obtained them but by "bursting open the doors," to see, as in many instances, virtuous but misinformed characters opposed to him, to tear the delusion would continue till the country he had so long served would be ruined; to see injustice would be done to his memory—it was a severe trial for the philosophy of one, who, when it regarded himself, forgot the doctrines he had often taught of the instability of the multitude, the ingratitude of republics, and the success of intriguing demagogues. But Mr. Jefferson's attempt to stab the characters of Washington and Adams will be finally in vain. On their remembrance will posterity dwell with delight, while the name of their calumniator shall stink in every honest man's pronunciation.
