FROM THE BALANCE. No. III.
A comparative view of the disadvantages and benefits, which would probably accrue to the United States from an enlargement of their territorial limits by the purchase of either LOUISIANA OR THE FLORIDAS.
"MONEY is the sinews of war;" and even in a state of national peace and security, the wheels of business can never be made to move with ease and celerity without a constant application of this magic oil. A sufficient plenty and a due circulation of money, from the centre to the extremities of a country, like blood circulating in the bodies of animals, is the life spring to agriculture, manufactures and commerce.
Mr. Livingston, in his memorial, makes upon this subject some very pertinent remarks, which, are well worthy of notice and consideration. Speaking of France, he says, "Her soil, climate, and local situation gives her, as a commercial, and especially as a manufacturing nation, great advantages over all the nations of Europe. The spirit of invention, the taste and industry of its inhabitants, place her in the first rank. But those advantages are wonderfully abridged by the want of capitals sufficient to make use of them. A rival nation, greatly inferior in every one of these particulars, has by the effect alone of an immense capital, obtained the superiority, not only in commerce, but also in manufactures; and these advantages, by increasing the national fortune, furnish it with the means of obtaining that very superiority."
"Capitals increase the number of manufactures, by the introduction of machines by the regular payment of workmen, by the reduction of the interest of money, and especially by the possession of new markets."
The honorable memorialist proceeds, to point out the injurious consequences of "using the capitals of the nation in distant countries;" of "multiplying points of defence;" and of "squandering away the capitals they want at home." He states that notwithstanding the extreme fertility of the West India Islands, "It is folly to believe that they will yield to France a compensation for the actual outsets, unless it be after a great many years;" and that "the national expenditures will increase with her colonies." He Incidentally mentions "The pains, the expences and loss of men, which are inseparable from new settlements, in a marshy country and a burning climate; the invasions of Indians; the insurrection of slaves," &c. He puts the question, "Has France a superfluity of men and money great enough to justify the settling of a new colony?" He remarks that "though settled for one century, Louisiana has never prospered under the French or Spanish government;" that "one century at least will pass away, before France may want possessions of that kind;" that its settlement by the French "would divert capitals from a much more important channel;" and that "the expence of such an establishment might ruin the public treasury."
These just and weighty remarks of the honorable memorialist, while they prove that France would inevitably be impoverished by dissipating its capitals in the settling of Louisiana, do also apply, even with much greater force, to the United States. It cannot surely be pretended that there is in this country "a superfluity of money." It has no mines of gold and silver; and all the money it possesses or that it ever can acquire, has been and must be purchased from foreign countries, by the labour of its inhabitants. If indeed there were now a large national capital in the public treasury, it would be needed at home, for the instruction of children where schools at private expence are impracticable, and for a great variety of other useful and necessary improvements among a young and increasing people: but instead of possessing a clear capital in cash, this nation is loaded with a great debt, the price, in part, of its independence. So lately as fourteen or fifteen years ago, an extreme scarcity of money was felt throughout the Union. Lands and almost every species of property fell, in some places, more than fifty per cent. Public and private embarrassment and distress was the consequence; and many families were ruined.
A concurrence of remarkable incidents, such as in their full combination, will probably never happen again, poured into this country, during the convulsions in Europe, an abundance of cash. Such streams of gold and silver no longer flow in upon our shores; the current has turned; and money is very perceptibly becoming scarcer. Incidents may soon happen, which might render the scarcity of money extremely distressing. The apparent quantity of money, in this country, is much greater than the real quantity. As the government of the individual states, as well as that of the union, possesses the power of establishing banks, and of multiplying them indefinitely, the banking system has already been carried to an unprecedented extent. Bank paper is not money, but is only the representative of money: its value and its currency depend entirely on credit. If only one capital Bank should fail it would shake the credit of others: if the banks generally should stop their discounts or reduce them nearly to the amount of their capitals, a very distressing scarcity of money would immediately ensue. The same would happen, should a sudden and general shock be given to commerce, from whence the national revenues are principally drawn. In combining and weighing all these circumstances, it seems evident that a large additional debt must be productive of very injurious consequences to the nation; and that prudence dictates its avoidance, unless there should be a certain prospect that the benefits arising from the purchased possession will ever balance the evils, which will flow from the loss of the purchase money. The annual interest of such a debt would be a great and constant drain of cash from this country; and paid to a foreign nation, it would go where it could not return.
It is also to be considered that the premises, for which the nation's money is to be given, (New Orleans excepted) will, for a long time, be productive of heavy charges, without any benefits. If left to remain unsettled, the nation by this bargain will merely "multiply points of defence;" for it will be bound in honor, if not in interest, to defend any part of its territory, however great might be the expences which such defence would cost. If, on the other hand, the nation should attempt a speedy settlement of its newly acquired possessions, (not to mention the loss that would be sustained by the emigration of settlers from its present territory, who might be more usefully employed at home,) its "capitals would, by such an effort, be diverted from a much more important channel;" "the national expenditures would be increased," in rearing and supporting infant governments: and "it is folly to believe that those new settlements would yield to this country a compensation for her actual outsets, unless it be after a great many years."
In this view, which the memorialist has sketched and exhibited, it appears that the vast wilderness, the possession whereof by the United States is contemplated, will cost much in its purchase, something in its defence, and much in its settlement; and that "a great many years will pass away," before it will, in any measure, compensate for these national outsets.
CALCULATOR.
From the Charleston Courier.
IT is impossible for any patriotic American who possesses the blessing of a sound, unprejudiced, unbiased mind, to view things as they really are in America, and not to be overwhelmed with a tumult of opposite sensations—of hope and despair, of joy and sadness, of complacency and yet of indignation. In looking all around, one half of the horizon presents a cheerful, serene, and delightful aspect; the other nothing but terrors and tempests. Left to its own natural operation, the same constitution which has poured forth the Horn of Plenty on this happy land, and blessed it with peace, increasing wealth, and prosperity, while other nations have been in a state of rapid retrogradation, would no doubt accomplish every thing which the most sanguine dispositions could predict of the future from the experience of the past. Let it only be considered what the state of America is at this day, and what it was on the day of adopting the Federal Constitution: and let the comparison decide upon the merits of that Constitution. By a peace preserved not only without diminution of our national honor, but with a great increase of dignity and importance in the eye of the world,
for ten years, during which all Europe was struggling in the convulsions of barbarous insurrection, and civil and foreign wars, this country rose at once to a pitch of opulence incredible until accomplished. By the same system of dignified neutrality preserving peace as long as peace can with honor be preserved; scrupulously fair and impartial to all nations, rendering them all which justice, and even the accustomed courtesies of nations, directs, and exacting the same from them; declining war, but presenting a front ready for it, if compelled by unjust encroachment, insult, or injury, this country might bid fair to stand in the foremost rank of the nations of the earth, in a very few years.—And to effect this, nothing more is necessary than to leave the country and its constitution to their own natural operations; guarding both from inroad and infraction with firmness, vigilance and fidelity. But—But we fear this may not be. Unfortunately there is a party in this land, to whose very nature tranquility is alien and abhorrent, and flies from or withers at its approach. These men have great sway over the undistinguishing part of the community, and whether it is from its own choice, or their unbidden intrusion, it so happens, that those men cling to the Executive, and while they pretend to be advocates of it, and of American freedom, are some of those missionaries of Jacobinism who like the furious fanatics of old, scatter themselves over the face of the earth to disseminate their barbarous doctrines. Or rather, who, like Satin, prowl about "seeking whom they may devour."
These will never rest so long as America is at rest. So long as one atom of that constitution remains; so long in a word as America remains unjacobinized, these disturbers will never rest. No, nor then. No, never, never. Rest is not for them here or hereafter. Does any one doubt this, let him only advert to their conduct from the beginning of the French Revolution to this day. Has a single instance occurred in which, preferring the advantage of America to that of France, they have abstained from supporting the cause of French revolutionary principles, or one in which they did not shew a desire to plunge America into the most ruinous state of Jacobin warfare, to aid that accursed doctrine, and support its parent France. That very neutrality which is now even to those persons a subject of boast and triumph, they did every thing, nay, had almost had recourse to arms to prevent. And the neutrality which may now again be beneficial to this country, they will assuredly also endeavour to prevent.
When men are seen acting thus inconsistently, and varying their means with respect to effects upon America, only to be confident and steady in attaining their ends, and in a cause as yet foreign to this country, can they be called friends to America. No; they are purely Jacobins; and out of pure attachment to that accursed doctrine only, affianced to France, & hostile to England; and abstracted from that consideration and their perquisites, wholly indifferent to America. We venture to lay down this truth, and we will stand to the event, that, either that set of men and their doctrines, or America must fall.—This is the alternative from which the people of America must make their choice.—Blink the point they cannot.
From Calcutta papers received at the office of the Philadelphia True American, by the ship Monticello, captain Davie.
CALCUTTA, January 24.
Extract of a letter from Trincomalie, dated December 6th.
"We have just experienced one of the greatest storms of wind and rain, and of the longest continuance, which has been witnessed here for many years past. It began about 12 o'clock at night on the 3d, and did not cease till about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of yesterday, during which there was not five minutes intermission of heavy rain, you may therefore judge how much must have fallen. The wind came at first from the N. E. but it afterwards came round and settled in the S. W. from whence it blew for the last 18 hours a perfect hurricane, during which, early yesterday morning, the Malay hospital was completely blown down, and levelled with the ground—As the people I suppose had some warning of its fall, happily no lives were lost, a few being only slightly bruised. The shock from this storm has been such that almost every house in the place has suffered greatly by its fury."

and none have altogether been proof against its effect. Of five square rigged vessels lying in Osenburg harbour, four having gone on shore."
Narrative of the loss of the ship Nautilus, wrecked on the Ledrones, on the 18th Sept. last.
"On the 16th Sept. we had fine pleasant weather, observing in 22, 12 north: at sun set saw a ship bearing W. S. W. pleasant throughout the night. On the 17th, in the morning saw land, bearing W. S. W. soundings sandy bottom; at 11 A. M. saw Padra Banca, bearing N. W. by W. from the fore top hazy looking weather; at noon came on a hard squall, had no observation, ship steering to the northward and westward; at one o'clock, we saw, the squall clearing up a little, Padra Banca bearing N. by E. about 2 or 3 miles distance, and also saw a great number of fishing boats in different directions, and seemingly in great confusion, hauled more to the westward, still squally with heavy rain; at 1 o'clock at night the squall increasing and dismal looking weather handed our top sails and courses, and lay to under the mizen stay sail heaving the lead throughout the night; at midnight blowing hard with rain, the wind about N. E. about 3 o'clock the next morning wore ship to the southward and eastward, blowing hard and a high sea; at 4 o'clock the next wore ship again, at day light saw an island under our lee; let go both our bower anchors, but at this time the wind being so very violent the anchors had no effect on the ship, and she drove bodily on the island, and went to pieces shortly after she struck."
"In the evening we mustered 18 men on shore: came to us two Chinamen from the top of the island, and brought with them some roots; in return we gave them some liquor, they behaved very well, and went again to the place they came from: this night we remained among the rocks: next morning found a Lascar dead, this day we went on the top of the island, where we found two or three huts, but no people, a little while after came some men, women and children, and conducted us to a place where we found a Mandareen and many inhabitants, this man treated us with great civility. On the 21st, in the morning, sent us to Macao, we arrived in the evening, stayed in the boats all this night. The next day about noon, I went with the gunner on shore, but the Chinaman would not allow the Lascars to be landed. I went and reported this circumstance to the Governor, and he got them released by satisfying the Chinamen with some money, the sum I do not know."
"I suppose 27 of the crew to be lost, together with the captain and chief mate, 19 are saved including myself, the lascars remained at Macao, myself and the gunner got up to Wampoa in the Neptune, captain Redder, where we met every civility."
February 14. On Wednesday last, accounts were received in town, of the arrival in the river of the American ship Mary, captain W. Lander from Amsterdam on the 6th Agult.
BOSTON, Sept. 7. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Yesterday we had an arrival from Liverpool; and though we expected, from the passage, to have received papers six or seven days later than before, we were disappointed. No London papers later than the 12th July were brought.
The verbal information, by this arrival, is, that on both sides the channel, the most vigorous measures were in prosecution for invasion and defence. As far as we can perceive, in the perusal of numerous files of English papers, there appears a great unanimity of the people of England, in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the war. It is true, we do not see many addresses to the throne on the subject, nor pompous offers of support, but we see numerous meetings of the people to consult on volunteer measures for the defence of the country: And in only one paper, we find announced the appointment of officers to the following new corps, viz. 1st. Devon regiment of gentlemen and yeomanry cavalry; Sturminster Newton gentlemen and yeomanry cavalry; Yorkshire gentlemen and yeomanry cavalry; Barnstable volunteer infantry; Bear and Seaton volunteer artillery; Crinnis Cliff volunteer artillery; Cumberland Rangers; North Devon regiment of volunteers; 2d ditto; Royal Edinburgh volunteer artillery; Exeter re-
giment of volunteers; Honiton volunteer infantry; 1st battalion of royal Liverpool volunteers; Maker company of artillery d Loyal Menage volunteers; Royal Mid Lothian volunteer artillery; 1st and 2d battalions of Mountsbay volunteers; Pen Dennis artillery volunteers; Penryn, St. Ives, Tavistock and Totness volunteers. The officering these corps is announced in the Gazette of July 5th. The circumstance furnishes some evidence that the nation is not asleep. It is not always that loud professions are accompanied with correspondent actions, and a pretty good observer of man has remarked, that apathy, though it may be the last to engage, is frequently the first to execute.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 11. Arrived last night, the schr. Maria, capt. Chase, 11 days from C. Francois. Left there schr. Sophia, capt. Driscoll of Baltimore, to sail next day; schrs. Fair Trader, Gardner of Philadelphia; Citizen, Muir of New York; brig Gayosa, Hamilton of do. schrs. Nancy, Jeffry of Philadelphia; Phoebe, Mills of do. Katy, Allen of New York. September 8, off Ocracoke Bar, fell in with the brig Nancy, John B. Earl of Newport bound to the Havanna, had lost her masts in lat. 36, and a deck load of live stock, bearing away for Ocracoke, in the Maria, came 21 passengers; among whom are, colonel Tousard, lieutenant Tandais, and Sabesse, commandant of the Cape.—The British closely blockaded the Cape, and would allow no American to go in.—There had been no arrival there from America, the 14th of July. The Maria was boarded when she came out and treated politely.

BEAUTY. "It is not a set of features alone that I admire." SHAKESPEARE. The Beauty which fascinates depends principally upon the mind, and consequently may be greatly influenced by education. It has been remarked that the predominant passion, may be generally discovered in the countenance; because the muscles by which it is expressed, being almost perpetually contracted, lose their tone, and never totally relax—so that the expression remains when the passion is suspended. Thus an angry, a disdainful, a subtle, and a suspicious temper is displayed in characters that are almost universally understood. It is equally true of the pleasing and the sober passions, that they leave their signatures upon the countenance when they cease to act; the prevalence of those passions therefore produces a melancholy effect upon the aspect, and gives a turn and cast to the features, which makes
a more favorable and forcible impression upon the mind of others, than any charm produced by mere external causes.
If the opinion of Bacon be thought to deserve much regard, very few sighs would be vented for eminent and superlative elegance of form. For beautiful women are seldom of any great accomplishments, because they, for the most part, study behavior rather than virtue.
Neither does the beauty which depends upon temper and sentiment equally endanger the possessor. It is, to use an Eastern metaphor, like the towers of a city, not only an ornament but a defence. If it excites desire, it at once controuls and defines it; it represses with awe, it softens with delicacy and it wins to imitation.
Let it then be remembered, that none can be disciples of the graces, but in the school of virtue; and that those who wish to be lovely, must learn early to be good.

Life is a picture; fortune the frame, but misfortune the shade. The first only is intrinsic ornament, but the latter, if well sustained, forms the intrinsic merit by giving a bolder relief to the figures.
We frequently fall into error and folly, not because the true principles are not known, but because, for a time, they are not remembered: he may therefore justly be numbered among the benefactors of mankind, who contracts the great rules of life into short sentiments that may easily be impressed on the memory, and taught by frequent recollection to recur habitually to the mind.
"Books," says Bacon, "can never teach the use of books." The student must learn by commerce with mankind to reduce his speculations to practice, and to accommodate his knowledge to the purposes of life.
The malicious censures of our enemies, if we make a right use of them, may prove of greater advantage to us, than the civilities of our best friends.
Notwithstanding the laboured definitions which philosophers have given us of the inherent beauty of virtue, we are always inclined to think her handsomest, when she condescends to smile upon ourselves.
Envy is not annexed to great talents, while they languish in indigence—but it follows them very closely, when fortune does them justice.
To neglect, at any time preparations for death is to sleep on our post at a siege—but to omit it in old age, is to sleep upon an attack.
A writer in the Litchfield Monitor , under the signature of Ajdrabal , after having described in a series of well written essays, the means which Mr. Jefferson employed to obtain and the manner in which he has since exercised, the power with which he is at present vested, concludes his last number as follows:—
"These events remind me of the fabulous history of the tyrant of Samos, where it is recorded, "That Lysias made great pretensions to philanthropy; he feigned an unbounded love for the people; he excited jealousies among them by the meanest practices, often employing the vilest slanderers, Phidias and Lucon, to blacken the reputation of Datis, the then chief magistrate of the island who had been selected by the people, for his wisdom, and the meritorious services which he had rendered to the republic; and as is commonly the case, a majority of the people were deceived; Datis was rejected, and Lysias was chosen chief magistrate. His government was weak and timid, Agathocles the tyrant of Sicily, looking on this as a favorable time, threatened Samos with an invasion."
"Lysias, instead of preparing to defend his country against the violence of the tyrant, prevailed upon the assembly of Samos to entrust to his hands a prodigious sum of public money, for the purpose of purchasing an ignominious peace. As Lysias was in the opinion of a majority of the assembly, most immaculate, most benevolent; say some of them ranked him among their Gods, and paid divine honors to him; they readily complied with his request." Attend, my countrymen, to the sequel. "This same Lysias felt no obligation of conscience upon him, for he despised the Gods of his country. He employed this money so entrusted to his hands, for the purpose of corrupting all the unprincipled of his subjects, and having brought over many to his views by bribery, he seized a favor-
able opportunity, and by the aid of those whom he had corrupted, he subverted the liberties of the nation, and rendered himself an absolute despot. He afterwards reigned a bloody impious tyrant, burning the temples of the Gods, and putting to torture and death, all men whose virtue he dreaded." Thus was destroyed by the baseness and folly of democracy, the only happy, the flourishing republic of Samos. Those that have ears to hear let them hear."

CASES OF CURES —by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM. Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania. Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town. York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mercurius but upon close inspection quit repelled with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.

For Sale, by ROBERT & JOHN GRAY, WHEATON'S GENUINE PATENT JAUNDICE BITTERS,
A MEDICINE extremely useful when Jaundicy and Billious Complaints are so prevalent among the citizens of America and the West Indies. They are a useful and efficacious Medicine for curing Jaundicy and Billious disorders, and removing that sinking, faint, distressed feeling at the stomach, difficulty of breathing, loss of appetite, and sleepy, dull heaviness in the forepart of the day, weakness and trembling of the limbs, dizziness of the head, and yellowness of countenance, complaints so common to jaundicy and bilious people.
Also removing constipation of the bowels, obstructions of urine, cholicky complaints, pukings and purgings, indigestion, sick head ache, rheumatic complaints, &c. (which arise from a collection of sour, bilious matter in the stomach) and at length restoring the constitution to strength and vigor.
They are also found very useful to carry off worms, and cure rickety children, and may be used with safety in all constitutions, ages and sexes.
The many cures that have been effected in New England, by the above medicine, (as may be seen in the bills) prevent the necessity of further recommendation.
LIKEWISE, Wheaton's Patent Itch Ointment.
The only medicine in the world which will certainly cure the ITCH, without having in it any thing either dangerous or disagreeable; it being composed mostly of ingredients never before discovered or used in that disorder. One box cures a person, and there need be no washing after the use of it, as the skin is generally left cleaner and smoother after the use of it than before.
August 2. 2aw 6m A VALUABLE MILL FOR SALE.
THE subscriber wishes to sell his MILL, known by the name of Clifton Mill, within two and an half miles of Dumfries, on the waters of Quantico, which is as constant a stream as any in this part of the country, and in an exceedingly healthy situation; very conveniently situated to a fine wheat country, not being more than half a mile out of the way, in going to Dumfries, from the main road leading from Fauquier Court-House, Centerville &c. (and by some thought not any out of the way at all) and a very good road to it. There are, if the purchaser chooses, 227 1/2 acres of land which may go with mill, (except one acre which will be reserved) or a smaller quantity as may be agreed on. The mill is an over-shot, with a wheel of 20 feet 9 inches and 4 feet head, with two pair of Stones. One pair of French burrs of 5 feet, the other of Cologne, with every apparatus necessary for carrying on merchant business to the best advantage. The mill house is fifty feet long and twenty seven feet wide, two stories high, with a small kiln for drying corn, together with barn, stable, cow house and lumber house, convenient to the mill. A convenient dwelling house, (not quite finished) with a kitchen, meat and corn house; the whole of which have been built within 7 years past. There are two very thriving young orchards of peach and other fruit trees. It was supposed, had not the frost killed the fruit this spring, upwards of 100 gallons of brandy might have been made from them. Should the whole of the land be required with the mill, there is another small house kitchen and meat house, at a short distance from the former.
The situation of this property must render it a desirable acquisition to any person inclined to engage in this line of business, particularly so as it is situated so near tide water. It is deemed unnecessary to say any thing more respecting the premises, as it is presumed any person inclined to purchase would wish to see them. Nothing would induce me to part with this valuable property, but the pressing demands against me which I am anxious to discharge, therefore a great bargain may be expected. Any further information may be known on application to, JOHN SOWDEN, Clifton Mill. Dumfries, June 28. 2aw.
