IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
MAY 18.
SUBSIDY TO THE QUEEN OF PORTUGAL.
The House on the motion of Lord Hawkesbury resolved into a committee of supply.
His majesty's message relative to the subsidy being read.
Lord Hawkesbury rose to make the motion of which he had given notice on a former day, he could not expect the unanimous concurrence of the House in that motion, yet after he had made the statement with which he meant to preface it, he hoped that the opposition to it would be confined to a very few. Whatever difference there may be in the opinions which gentlemen entertain respecting former subsidies which have been granted in the course of this war, their policy and expediency, that which he intended now to move for, he hoped to make it appear, rests on a very different ground from them. He did not mean to enter at large into a discussion of the question of the general expediency of subsidies, nor to take up the time of the house in stating his opinions on that subject. Their policy must depend upon circumstances which cannot apply to every case, and he believed that there was no gentleman prepared to contend, either that they are universally wrong, or that they are universally right. To these, if there be any who think that they are universally wrong, he would remark, that the only war in which this country has been engaged for a century back, in which it has failed in attempting any British object, was also the only one in which it had no continental allies—he referred to the American war. As to the wisdom of former subsidies granted during this war, whatever may have been the result, he was prepared to contend, that they originated in an enlarged and liberal system of policy. He had said, however, that the subsidy which he was now to move, rests on very different grounds from them: and he thought that those gentlemen who could not approve of subsidies granted for carrying on offensive war, such as were those granted at different times to Austria, those granted to Russia and Prussia, might yet approve of granting one to a power which has been for more than a century in constant friendship with this country, to an old and faithful ally, whose territory is threatened to be overrun by the common enemy, and who is thus endangered from the inveterate spirit of enmity which that enemy has always manifested towards this country.
The only objection which he could conceive to be made to granting this subsidy, was, that it may be better, under all circumstances of the case, that that power should endeavour to procure peace, tho' the terms should not be so favorable either to itself, or to the interest of this country, as could be desired, than to encourage it by a subsidy to maintain a contest, the issue of which must be doubtful, and which must risk even its existence as a state.—But when the conduct of France to Naples, and other states which have acceded to such terms of peace as she has herself dictated, is recollected, he would ask, if some doubt might not be entertained of the propriety of Portugal, by following a similar line of conduct with them, exposing herself to similar usage? Should it be thought wise and expedient for her to make peace, the granting her this subsidy is not intended to bind her to carry on the war. This country has generously liberated her from her engagements which might have operated as obstacles to her following this course of policy; but still the subsidy would enable her to negotiate upon a more respectable footing, and tend to secure to her better terms. Whether, therefore, war or peace may be thought her best policy, a subsidy would be of essential benefit to her. It has been said that the sum proposed to be granted,
300,000l. is so small that it can afford no effectual aid; but in the present situation of his country, he thought it as large a sum as could with propriety be sent out of it. This situation, in his opinion, arose principally from there having been so large sums lately sent out to purchase corn. But ask the court of Portugal if it will not consider this sum as an effectual aid. It may not be so large as it may have with that it had been, or as it might have expected from this country in other circumstances; but it surely cannot be pretended that a sum which will enable it to maintain an army of 20,000 men for six months, is not an aid of considerable importance to that power. Having made these few observations he would conclude with moving the committee to resolve, "That it is the opinion of this committee, that the sum of 300,000l. be granted his Majesty to enable him to advance the like sum to his good and faithful ally the Queen of Portugal, to enable her most faithful Majesty to take such measures against her enemies, as the exigency of affairs may require."
Mr. Grey rose to express his dissent from the proposed resolution. In his opinion the Noble Lord who moved it had given no reason why it should be agreed to.—There were several points stated by the Noble Lord which he would not dispute. He admitted that Portugal is the old and faithful ally of this country: He admitted the validity of her claims for assistance on this country. But he must oppose the motion for granting her a subsidy, because he was convinced that it could be of no use. There was another point on which he would not dissent from my Noble Lord. That subsidies ought not to be judged of on general principles, but from the circumstances of the case in which they are granted. But judging of the principles of his majesty's late ministers, from their conduct, and of the principles of the present ministers, from the support which they uniformly gave to the measures of their predecessors, he must conclude, notwithstanding the declarations made by the Noble Lord this night, that the latter agree with the former, in thinking that there is something good in subsidies considered by themselves, for when he recollected the subsidies granted on former periods of the war, some of them on occasions when they must be useless, others when they must be worse than useless, he could not hesitate in thinking, that those who granted them, saw something good in the subsidies themselves. But the Noble Lord says, that this subsidy ought to be granted to the Queen of Portugal, because it will enable her either to negotiate with effect, or to carry on the war with vigour, according as may be thought in circumstances most expedient. If he means by negotiating with effect, that it will enable her to pay the sum of money which France may demand as a part of the price of peace, he would agree with the Noble Lord.—But he could not agree to the motion for granting this subsidy, because it would be giving it to Buonaparte, and voting the money of this country into the coffers of France. Ministers, it would seem, are now become peculiarly alive to the danger of Portugal.—He would ask, since what time has this anxiety respecting the fate of that country displayed itself? Are the preparations of France against Portugal of a new date? Last summer, Gen. Berthier, a name of no little note, and of no obscure fame, was sent from Paris on an embassy to the Court of Madrid, evidently for the purpose of concerting measures against Portugal. A brother of the Chief Consul himself succeeded Berthier, and one of the most eminent French Generals was afterwards sent to the Court of Spain for the same purpose; and at the same time a French army was collecting on a part of the Frontiers, which clearly pointed out its destination. To all this, his Majesty's Ministers remained completely blind. But when they hear that the French army has entered Spain, and

the army of Spain has reached the frontiers of Portugal and commenced hostilities there, they propose to vote to Portugal a paltry subsidy of 300,000l. — When Portugal was not threatened, when France had no disposable force to bring against her, when all her armies were employed in resisting the powers in active hostility against her—then a British army was kept in Portugal, under the command, first of Sir Charles Stuart, and afterwards of General Frazier. But in what situation is that country now placed, threatened with immediate invasion by a powerful and well-disciplined army? In what state have ministers left her? They propose to send her money, which she would contend can never defend her.—That country, in his opinion, can only be defended by a British army. No man could join more sincerely than he did, in the just tribute which the house has this night yielded to the courage and conduct of the army in Egypt, though perhaps he was not inclined to rank its success so high as some gentlemen do. He believed that officers and men have displayed the greatest skill and gallantry; but, as had been observed by an hon. gentleman near him, (Mr. Jones) the cause which had made this gallantry and skill necessary on this field of action, at least ought to be traced to its source, to the breach of the convention of El-Arish by the late ministers. Every drop of British blood that is shed, every British life that is lost in the attempt to expel the French from Egypt, ought to be laid at their door. If they had ratified that convention the French would have been got out of Egypt without the loss of a British life, and then the army now employed in endeavouring to expel them from it, an object which it may accomplish, but which appeared to him a matter still very doubtful; this army, which is the only disposable force of the country, might have been applied to the defence of Portugal, our old and faithful ally.
Egypt may be re-conquered, and no doubt, this would remove one obstacle to peace; but if Portugal is conquered by the united arms of France and Spain, which, as this country has no disposable force to send for its defence, is a thing almost inevitable, if she does not accede to any terms offered her, a new obstacle to peace, perhaps even a greater obstacle than the possession of Egypt by the French, will be created. But had it not been for the folly of his Majesty's late Ministers in not ratifying the convention of El-Arish, the obstacle of Egypt would not, at this present day, have existed, and the disposable force of the country might now have been applied, though he would not say that he would have advised such an application of it, to prevent the creation of this new obstacle. What is the conduct of the present ministers in this case?—The assistance afforded or intended to be afforded by the late ministers, was always too late in being sent; so dilatory were their councils, so procrastinated and uncertain their measures. Their successors, imitating their example, proposed to send a subsidy to Portugal to invigorate her defence against her enemies, which can scarcely arrive before the French will be in the heart of the kingdom. He would ask, if ministers had any certain information that there is a Portuguese army in existence powerful enough to resist the invading forces, till the subsidy can arrive? If there is not, as he believed, then the present motion is as unjustifiable on the grounds of enabling the Queen of Portugal to resist invasion by force, as it is for the purpose of enabling her to pay the ransom of peace. On these grounds he must oppose the motion.
Mr. Pitt.—“The Subsidy which is now proposed; the hon. gentleman who spoke last complains, was opened upon general grounds; and that the reasons assigned for it are insufficient, he is pleased to alledge—I think, if ever I heard a plain, distinct statement, on clear ground, laid intelligibly before the House, so as to leave no doubt what we are called upon to do, either in point of faith, policy, or honour, it was the statement of my noble friend; but I must say, that the hon. gentleman in the course of his speech, went into an argument that proceeded to the extreme, although in the beginning of his speech he maintained, that it is a subject on which the extreme will not apply, that each case of a subsidy should be decided on its own circumstances; and yet he thought fit to say, that all the grants of Parliament on that subject, were without any motive except the pleasure of grant-
ing subsidies, that this pleasure was to us a sufficient reason to grant a subsidy, and that that we never looked at the consequences—Now, Sir, I will say, that if any gentleman will look back to the history of this war, he will find, that whatever has been the fate of the continent, we have given to the different powers the best chance for their safety, and that the money we have laid out on these occasions, was the best way of laying it out, and constituted the cheapest bargains on our part in the present war. I am perfectly ready to go into that question with the hon. gentleman whenever he pleases. The hon. gentleman says, he has no objection to make against the particular subsidy now under the consideration of the house; but under the semblance of discussing this question, he takes an opportunity of renewing his attacks upon his majesty's late ministers. He takes the opportunity of collaterally making charges against us, tho' notice has been repeatedly given of a specific motion on that subject, which motion has never yet been bro't forward. I do, Sir, most strongly protest against the injustice of such proceedings, but I will neither be drawn by these kind of observations to do a thing so irregular to the house, nor so unjust to my Colleagues and myself, as to make their conduct and mine upon this important question, the subject of collateral debate—If these gentlemen really think they can substantiate these charges against us they stand pledged to the house to bring them forward, and they cannot want an opportunity of so doing; but I contend that they do not do their duty as members of parliament, they do not act with candour to us, when they depart from the subject in debate, and either compel us to violate the orders of the house, by following their example, or by our silence to appear to acquiesce in the justness of the accusation. I should rather prefer the latter, and I hope gentlemen will take some regular opportunity of bringing forward those charges.
With respect to the situation of Portugal, he connects it with the expedition to Egypt, and says, that if the latter had not been attempted, Portugal would have been safe; but in the latter part of his speech he says, that even if the Egyptian expedition had not been undertaken, he would not recommend that the forces engaged in it should be employed in defence of Portugal. Leaving then the importance of Egypt out of his consideration, he makes it a charge against the king's late ministers, that we are prevented from assisting Portugal, because so large a force has been sent to Egypt; and he says, that if that force had not been sent to Egypt, he would not recommend their being employed in the defence of Portugal. This is the enlightened, the vigorous and statesman-like policy which he would recommend in opposition to that employed by the late administration, who, from the delays of which they were guilty, he says, uniformly failed: but who, I say, not withstanding those delays, and their uniform failures, have some how or other contrived, amidst the wreck of empires and desolation of Europe, to deprive our enemies of almost all their colonial possessions—to reduce, almost to annihilation, their maritime strength—to deprive them of, and to appropriate to ourselves, the whole of their commerce, and to maintain in security our territories in every part of the globe.
These, Sir are the successes with which the late & tardy efforts of the last administration have been crowned. It is to these successes that the honorable Gentleman owes the opportunity he now makes use of, to talk in this place with retrospective criticism of the conduct of the war. But I wish to ask the honorable gentleman how we could avoid sending a force to Egypt, unless we determined to give it up to France? He does not deny that it is an object of the greatest importance to this Country; but he says the Expedition would have been unnecessary if we had agreed to the Convention of El-Arish. Sir, this subject has been discussed more than once—[Here Mr. Jones called out, Hear him! Hear him!]—Sir, I beg leave to assure that honorable Gentleman, that I will never interrupt any of his Speeches with Hear him! Hear him! nor, if I can avoid it, will I undergo the mortification of hearing any of his declamations upon this subject. Sir the question which his Majesty's late ministers had to consider at the period to which the hon. gentleman alludes, was, whether it would be wise in us to have permitted so many of the chosen and veteran troops of France to have
been landed in Italy, at a moment when the fate of the campaign of Europe, of every minor state, and especially of Portugal, was at stake? If any rational man at that moment had been asked, whether the security of Portugal was most likely to be maintained by keeping these veteran forces in Egypt, or by suffering them to land in Italy, it is impossible to entertain a doubt with respect to his answer.
The battle of Marengo was decided against the cause of Europe and the world; but let it be recollected, that that battle was nearly gained, and that cause which was so nearly balanced, without the French army from Egypt, would have been rendered desperate had they arrived: therefore, I say, that the measure which he wishes to connect with the state of Portugal, for the purpose of criminating us, is as far as it is connected with it, a proof of the good policy by which our conduct was governed. We never did cease in any one period of this arduous contest to give to our allies that assistance and encouragement, which afforded them the best chance of saving themselves and of affording security to Europe. We postponed the consideration of Egypt, though an object of great importance to us, as long as there was any chance of success in the general cause; but when the Austrians were defeated, though we lamented their reverses, we did not neglect our own interests, and the expedition to Egypt took place. Of those who have fought and fallen, of those who have fought and conquered in that expedition I will say nothing, because all language is inadequate to their merits. But the hon. gentleman thinks this proposal comes too late, and is too small for the purpose of affording effectual relief to Portugal. If that is really his opinion, he might censure ministers for not bringing it forward sooner, but he ought, if he was consistent with himself, endeavor to accelerate that which he thinks too tardy, and to increase that which he thinks too small, instead of opposing it altogether. The hon. gentleman thinks this sum is advanced to Portugal to induce her, against her judgment, to continue the contest. This language has been used upon other occasions; but I think the explanation given by my noble friend, completely precludes the observation in the present instance. We do not desire Portugal to brave danger; but we say, if for their own sakes they think it more wise, more manly, more dignified, and more safe to meet the danger than agree to unknown concession, indignity, and insult, then Great-Britain will be true to her engagements; and though we absolve them from their promise to us, we will still not make that absolution a mask for our avarice or our pusillanimity, as long as they have spirit and courage enough (which no subsidy could give them) not to compromise with an oppressing and perfidious enemy.

Many houses in London, Hamburg, Bremen, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, &c. have branch establishments in all the seaports of the United States, and, by holding vessels as unnaturalized citizens, are competitors with our native citizens. The European houses guarantee all consignments to their branches, and monopolize, by this means, the whole of that profitable business.—Their immense capitals are employed by their branches in the India trade from America, which cannot be carried on direct from Europe, and thus their branches are enriching their parent stock, and will continually reduce the American trading towns to mere European factories, like those of Lisbon and Cadiz; and the native citizens to mere hucksters. The mechanics of America are protected against foreign manufactures by the imposts established by Mr. Hamilton.
In Jamaica, a supercargo (a foreigner) must employ an English house to sell his cargo in Hispaniola. Toussaint is making similar regulations; and unless the native American merchant has some particular privileges over foreign agencies, the capitals of these latter, with their credits in our monied institutions, will give them such superior advantages, that he must relinquish the merchant and become the hewer of wood and drawer of water.

MONDAY, AUGUST 3.
The vast exportation of flour and grain lately shipped to Europe, must convince that quarter of the world of the immense resources of this country. The large quantities of tobacco and cotton, are equally faithful reporters of our commercial consequence. Hemp would also be a valuable article for our agriculturists to attend to, and it is hoped will be more generally encouraged. While the mine gives us iron, and the forest timber, the fields may afford us cordage to waste our produce to distant shores, independent of foreign aid.

The accounts in some of the continental papers, of British successes in Egypt subsequent to the date of the last official dispatches, were not wholly confided in by the editor of a London paper of the 12th June. The last advice from Lord Elgin, brought the news from Egypt down to the 22d of April, the very date of the dispatches said to have been received at Constantinople. The silence of Lord Elgin is supposed to militate against the authenticity of the Constantinople and Vienna accounts. For the same reasons, the articles respecting the capture of 22 sail of French transports, and the arrival of the troops destined to reinforce Gen. Hutchinson, are not fully accredited.
It is among the memorabilia of modern times, that an obscure subject of Corsica should arrive in a few years to the sovereignty of the French Empire; and that Theodore, king of Corsica, should end his life in a goal, confined for debt.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his correspondent in Philadelphia, dated June 5.
The emperor of Russia finding Lord Nelson was before the port of Revel with his fleet, caused the English admiral to be informed that he had ordered all English seamen in his dominions who had been made prisoners, to be released: and had also ordered that the embargo should be immediately taken off all English ships. There are about 200 trading vessels belonging to this country in the Russian ports which will be directly at liberty to set sail. The intelligence came in an official form from Lord Nelson himself to Lord St. Vincent, and its arrival has given universal joy and satisfaction to the merchants. The King of Sweden who was about ordering his fleet to sail to meet and join the Russian fleet, was informed by Lord Nelson, through the Swedish admiral, that if the latter was found at sea the former would consider it as renewing hostilities, and should act accordingly. The King of Sweden ordered that the fleet should remain in port. About the same time Prince Charles of Hesse evacuated Hanseburgh and the other towns where the Danish troops had been stationed, which information is also official. No doubt is now entertained but that peace will soon be effected between Great-Britain and the Northern Powers. Count Bernstorff the Danish Secretary of State is coming to London, and is now on his way, in order to adjust all misunderstanding between the two powers. Lord Nelson, finding there is now no enemy to fight in the Baltic, has asked leave to resign, which has been accepted, on account of the ill state of his health. He is to be succeeded in the command by Admiral Pole.
The French funds have been falling ever since the news of our victory in Egypt—they have fallen from 57 to 48. A report is current here that a convulsion is shortly expected to take place in Paris: notwithstanding it is given out in their papers that their armies are coming down and covering the coast, with an intent to invade England or Ireland as the dermier resort of the Chief Consul. We are more ready to receive them now than ever we were.
An extraordinary gazette was published this morning with the success of the progress of our arms in the East. The official dispatches brought by col. Spencer are dated Camp before Alexandria, 20th April, 1801, and signed by Major Gen. J. H. Hutchinson, who succeeded Sir R. Abercromby.
The English, joined by the Turks, stormed Rosetta, about 10th April. Of 800 French that the fort contained, 350 surrendered it to the English. Colonel Spencer commanded the troops that were sent against it. The communication between Alexandria and Rhamanich is stopped by some sluices being opened, and the intervening plain inundated: the French there, who remained in the later place, which is estimated at 3000, can get no assistance from the former, and when the last account came away from Egypt, dated 22d of April, the commander in chief was going to send a body of troops, English and Turkish, to attack Rhamanich by storm. In the mean time Grand Cairo is to be besieged by the army of the Grand Vizier, who had marched already to Bilbeis, across the desert, without opposition, and reinforced by detachments from Diezzar Patha, both of whom have declared their readiness to co-operate with the English forces for the expulsion of the French. The English army, at the above
date, consisted of 11000 men, in good health and high spirits as infantry and 1000 cavalry; it has lately received reinforcements from Malta.
This latter intelligence is come express from Lord Elgin, at Constantinople, in a letter to Lord Hawkesbury, dated May 9, 1801, it brings the news two days later than Major Hutchinson's dispatch.

Merch. of N. Haven—Sir, we would beg leave "respectfully to remonstrate against the late removal of Elizur Goodrich, esq. from the office of collector for the district of New-Haven, and the appointment of Samuel Bishop, esq. to fill his vacancy."
Philos. Thos. Gentlemen, you no doubt have a right to remonstrate, and when I have had time to enquire into the merits of the case, I will converse with you on the subject. Please to call to-morrow.—[Exeunt merchants.] What the devil shall I do with these fellows?—I know Goodrich is much the best man for the office, but he is a federalist, and that is reason sufficient for turning him out. I will send for Lord Wallingford, and ask his opinion.

I was told that your excellency had a visit from some aristocratic merchants of New-Haven, and supposing that your excellency would want information on the subject about which they are grumbling, I hastened to render your excellency an exact statement of the business.
P. T. Lord Wallingford, I am very glad to see you. There is no person for whom I have more respect. Knowing, as I do, your patriotism, your independence, your republican virtues, and your "revolutionary adherence" to our party; I shall place entire confidence in your opinion, and follow it implicitly.
L. W. I feel much indebted to your excellency for your excellency's good opinion, and I hope I shall always be so happy as to retain it; and you excellency may be assured, that I shall advance the interest of the party of your excellency, as far as lies in my power. I hope likewise to prove to your excellency, the independence of my spirit , my hatred to tyranny, and my "revolutionary adherence to your party," by revolutionizing the state of Connecticut, in a very short period.—May it please your excellency, the people of the state of Connecticut are a set of d—d aristocrats, and do not deserve any indulgence. No longer ago than last winter, they had the impudence to call me in their public newspapers, the CONNECTICUT KETTLETAS, and several other names which I shall not repeat at present; and some of them in common conversation, have had the audacity to assert that, altho' I was married, I still kept two or three mistresses. Shall such crimes as these remain unpunished? No, let every man of them be turned out of office.
P. T. I am not surprised, Lord Wallingford, that your temper is ruffled at such abuse. It is enough to irritate any philosopher in the union. But do not let this trouble you; I have something in view which will compensate for all these evils, and which will reward you for your eminent services in the cause of liberty.—In the course of a few months I intend to recall Mr. King from London, and give you the office of minister there.
L. W. I thank your Excellency ten thousand times for the honor you intend me. Allow me to kiss your excellency's hand, (here he advances and kisses the philosopher's hand.) You may command my utmost services whenever you please. I am quite delighted with the idea of going to London. I am told they have the finest woman there in the world; and that they
* Lord Wallingford is supposed to be —, Esq. who some say is cousin of a certain great personage.
† This probably is a mistake, as every Connecticut man knows that Lord W. is never profane in his conversation.
are not so curiously chaste as the Yankee girls.
P. T.—I am glad you like the appointment. But Lord Wallingford, you have not informed me what I shall say to the New-Haven Merchants.
L. W.—May it please your excellency, I think I would not give them any answer at all; for Bishop must have the appointment at all events. Abraham Bishop, may it please your excellency, has written and spoken two orations, to advance Democracy in Connecticut; and he must be rewarded. Now it would be base, to make him collector, as every body knows he is unfit for the office. Let his father then be nominal collector, while Abraham is the real one; and in this way Abraham will be paid for his services.—(Exeunt.)
SCENE III. ENTER MERCHANTS, AND PHILOSOPHER THOMAS.
P. T.—Gentlemen, will you now state the subject of which you complain, and I will try to clear up the business a little.
Merchs.—You have thought fit, Sir, to remove from the office of collector of our city, Elizur Goodrich, Esq. a gentleman with whom we are personally acquainted, and in whose integrity and abilities we have entire confidence; and you have appointed Samuel Bishop, Esq. to succeed him, a person who is every way unfit for the office.
P. T.—You say that Mr. Goodrich is respectable; in answer to this I tell you, that Mr. Adams, although he did not turn any Democrats out of office, yet he did not put any into office; and as the Democrats are now the majority, it is proper that offices should be filled from that party.
Merchs.—The Democrats the majority, indeed! They are to be sure, if you include the eight hundred thousand black citizens of Georgia, Virginia and the Carolinas; but exclusive of these, who doubtless glory in their liberty and equality, the Democrats are quite the minority.
P. T.—You say Mr. Bishop is unfit for the office; prove this, if you can.
Merchs.—This, Sir, will be no difficult task. In the first place, Mr. Bishop is more than seventy-seven years of age; his eye sight has nearly failed him, and he has become superannuated.
P. T.—A flimsy reason indeed. Do you not know gentlemen, that "our Franklin" was an ornament to human nature," after that period?
Merchs.—It may have been so, but still we do not see the force of your logic in the present case. In the form of a syllogism it will stand thus: Dr. Franklin, at the age of seventy-seven was not a child in understanding; Samuel Bishop, esq. is seventy-seven years old; therefore, Samuel Bishop is not superannuated. But, Sir, we have other objections; he does not understand the forms of doing business; neither is he acquainted with the system of the revenue laws; all which Mr. Goodrich perfectly understood.
P. T.—With respect to this objection, all I have to say is, that the legislature of your state has appointed Mr. Bishop to many offices; and it is not to be supposed that they would have given them to him if he was not a man of talents, and trustworthy: "two offices in the annual gift of the legislature, were given to him in May last."
Merchs.—We do not hesitate to acknowledge that Mr. Bishop, when in the prime of life, and of vigorous mental powers, was an useful public officer; but he is now superannuated. You mistake, Sir, when you say that our legislature gave him two offices in May last. They only continued him in those offices. They had too much delicacy, too much humanity, to remove an old man from office, when they knew at the same time that his colleagues were men of sound intellects, and would regulate all the business that was brought before them in a proper manner.
P. T.—Why gentlemen do you find fault with Mr. Bishop, before he has been tried? "You do not allege that the office has been illly conducted, but only apprehend that it will be so." Besides, I have information from private sources, that he is every way capable of filling the office.
Merchs.—We could not say with truth the office "has been illly conducted," because Mr. Bishop has not yet entered.
‡ This was the fact when the remonstrance was written and forwarded to Washington.
tered upon it; and because Mr. Goodrich has until the present day filled it to our entire approbation. But any person of common sense may perceive, without making the experiment, that an an old man in his dotage is not fit for a public officer. Your private sources of information are easy to be discovered. You doubtless have had some communications from the chaste Lord Wallingford. We have long known his officiousness, and would advise him to be silent, if he does not wish some truths should appear not much in his favor.
P. T.—You appear to be offended at the liberty I have taken; but I will inform you that I have the power to remove men from office, and will exercise it. Federalists will neither die nor resign their offices, and my adherents must be provided for: you may therefore expect, although it is a disagreeable business for me, to see the men now in office turned out; particularly those who are guilty of an "anti-revolutionary adherence to our enemies," that is, to the federalists. I am astonished you do not think this is right; can candor give her opinion against me? To prove to you that I think I act properly, I would take my oath of it, if I had not lost the Bible I sent for last winter, to Mr. B— of New-York; and since then, I have not been able to purchase a new one, as they are not very numerous in Virginia. To ease your doubts, however, I can substitute GODWIN'S ENQUIRER, and that in this part of the country, is of much greater authority than the Bible.
Merchs.—We do not doubt you are in earnest, and that you think you are acting right for the advancement of your own party; but we expected to have been treated with a little more attention, and to have heard at least one reason by which you would attempt to exculpate your conduct; but we perceive our mistake—we have only seen shadows instead of arguments. We therefore leave you, as it is evident that "feeling power, you forget right."
(exeunt Merchs.) P. T. What impudent fellows these are! I have been reasoning with them this half hour, and after all, they tell me that there is no force in what I have been saying. But I will have them know, that the "total exclusion" of Democrats from office, "calls for proper correctives; I shall correct the procedure." And when I have filled all the offices at my disposal, with men of my own party, then "the only question concerning a candidate shall be, is he honest! Is he capable? Is he friendly to the Constitution?"
(exit P. T. in a Philosophic rage.)
