OF THE Last Session of Congress.
[CONTINUED]
INTERNAL TAXES.
On the 5th of March, the committee of ways and means reported a bill to repeal the internal taxes, with an accompanying report.
The report stated:—
"That the whole amount of revenue arising from those duties, exclusive of postage on newspapers, as appears by the statements laid before the House by the secretary of the treasury in the early stage of the session, did not exceed for the year 1800, 925,000 dollars; after deducting the amount of drawbacks paid on the exportation of domestic distilled spirits and refined sugar during that year, which sum is chargeable with an expense of collection equal to 137,000 dollars exclusive of the expenses of the officers of inspectors of revenue, which have been abolished. The net revenue arising from those duties may, therefore, be estimated at 788,000 dollars; but if from this sum be deducted the duties accruing on stamps, which, as under the existing laws they will cease to be collected after the fourth of March next, cannot be estimated among the permanent internal taxes, the whole net revenue produced from those duties may be estimated at a sum not exceeding 710,000 dollars, chargeable with an expense of collection equal to 120,000 dollars. To produce, therefore, into the treasury somewhat less than 600,000 dollars, an expense must be incurred more than equal to a fifth of that sum; and upwards of four hundred revenue officers, exclusive of the inspectors, must be maintained at the public charge. The continuance of a revenue drawn from the people on such terms, can, in the opinion of your committee, be justified only by an imperious necessity; a necessity which, in their estimation, does not at present, and is not hereafter, likely to exist."
"Of the proceeds of those duties more than 500,000 dollars arise from the tax on distillation; 372,000 of which are paid by 22,000 country distillers, scattered over the immense territory of the United States; 65,000 other dollars are the product of 13,000 retailer's licenses. These facts demonstrate the difficulty and even the impossibility of materially lessening the expenses of collection, so long as the subjects from which the revenue is to be drawn are so thinly dispersed over this widely extended country; and the annexed communication from the commissioner of the revenue, will explain the deficiency which is likely to occur on the most productive branch of those duties, unless provisions are adopted which, by laying the tax on the quantity actually distilled, will require additional officers to the augmentation of the present heavy charges of collection, and a multiplication of oaths, thereby lessening the security of that sanction and endangering the public morals. The abolition of one class of these duties, by materially diminishing their product, without affecting in the same degree the expense of collection, would be a strong additional argument for the abrogation of all; and when it is recollected that some of those which it might be the most desirable to retain are, even now, subjects of taxation in the several states, the committee perceive no substantial objection to releasing entirely to the states objects of revenue which to them may be equally desirable and productive; since to them the collection can be attended with little additional charge, and since to the federal government exclusively belongs the most fruitful source of revenue which the union affords. A wise policy, it is believed, will therefore induce the United States to abstain, wherever practicable, from exercising the right of taxation on those subjects over which the individual states possess a concurrent right. Other reasons concur in producing an opinion favorable to the repeal of those duties. They consist—
1. In the vexation and oppression of many of them, some of which are peculiarly obnoxious to our citizens. 2. In the nature of excise, which is hostile to the genius of a free people. 3. In their tendency to multiply officers and increase the patronage of the executive. This effect alone would forbid the retention of the internal taxes, and a reduction, to an equal amount, of the impost on articles of the first necessity; since, by that measure, not one of the host of officers employed in their collection would be reduced.
"None of the foregoing considerations,
however, could have induced your committee to recommend a repeal of these taxes, was it apprehended that, by the measure, the punctilious compliance with the public engagements could be endangered. But believing additional taxes to be unnecessary for defraying the annual charges of government, at the present rate of expenditure, they conceive that a reduction of that expenditure will justify a proportionate reduction of the public burdens. A contrary doctrine would imply an urgent necessity for an increase of the existing taxes, should no retrenchment be made in the permanent public expenditure. By the annexed letter of the secretary at war it will appear that a sum exceeding 400,000 dollars will be saved on the army alone. By the estimate of the secretary of the navy the expenditure for the current year is estimated at 200,000 dollars less than that of the year 1801. Of this sum not more than six hundred thousand dollars are applicable to objects of permanent expense. It follows, therefore, that a sum exceeding the whole amount of the internal duties will be saved in the permanent expenditure of those two departments alone; even should future circumstances compel us to keep up our armament in the Mediterranean."
"On the subject of the postage on newspapers, the committee are of opinion, that it would be unavailable to take off that tax, inasmuch as it is insignificant in amount, and is the means of insuring the late delivery of newspapers to their respective subscribers."
"From these various considerations the committee conclude their report with submitting a bill to repeal the laws laying duties on bills and domestic distilled spirits; on refined sugar; licenses to retailers; sales at auction; pleasurable carriages; and stamped vellum, parchment and paper."
On the 15th of March, Mr. Randolph called for the order of the day on the above bill, when the eighth effort to frustrate the repeal of the internal taxes was made by Mr. Griswold, who moved its postponement, for the purpose of previously taking up a resolution, offered by him, for making compensation for certain foreign obligations.
On this motion a debate ensued, that shall be noticed in its proper place, which continued till 3 o'clock, in which the motion of postponement was supported by Messrs. Griswold, Lowndes, John C. Smith, Dana, Bayard and Ridgely; and opposed by Messrs. S. Smith, Mitchell, Gregg, Euliss & Bacon; when the question was taken and the motion lost—Yeas 33—Nays 54.
The house immediately resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the bill to repeal the internal taxes.
The first section was read as follows:— "That from and after the _____ day of _____ next, the collection of duties on bills and domestic distilled spirits, on refined sugars, licenses to retailers, sales at auction, pleasurable carriages, and stamped vellum, parchment and paper, shall be discontinued, and all acts and parts of acts relative thereto shall be and the same hereby are repealed."
When Mr. Dennis moved to strike out the words in italics—His object being to save from repeal all the internal taxes excepting those on bills and domestic distilled spirits.
Mr. Huger called for a division of the question on each of the articles proposed to be stricken out, stating that he should be in favor of some and against others.
The question was then taken on striking out, refined sugars:
And lost—Yeas 24—
On striking out licenses to retailers:
And lost without a division.
On striking out sales at auction:
And lost—Yeas 25—
On striking out pleasurable carriages:
And lost—Yeas 22—
On striking out stamped vellum and parchment and paper:
And lost—Yeas 14—Nays 52.
On the 16th several amendments in the details of the bill were made in the house, when Mr. Dennis moved a re-commitment of the bill to the committee of ways and means, to make further familiar amendments.
This motion was supported by Messrs. Dennis, Dana, Goddard and Bayard; and opposed by Messrs. Randolph, Smith and Varnum. The next day Mr. Randolph declared himself prepared to offer the necessary amendments; when the motion to recommit was lost without a division, and several amendments made.
We have now reached that period of debate, when a succession of motions, almost innumerable, were offered, calculated to interweave with the true point before the house, topics of little, if any necessary alliance, & unfortunately tend-
ing to exhibit the deliberations of the legislature in points of view humiliating and ludicrous. The majority flood indignant spectators of the scene, and wistfully determined, without other opposition than their votes, to suffer the reiterated motions to meet an early destruction.—To detail all the protracted arguments urged in support of each of these motions would be to impose upon the patience, without enlightening the judgment of the reader. We shall, therefore, satisfy ourselves with a brief notice of the motions with the fate of each, referring to the last stage of discussion, for a view of the leading reasons assigned for or against the repeal.
Mr. Dennis renewed the motion made by him in committee of the whole, somewhat varied, viz. to strike out of the repealing clause all the articles of internal taxation, excepting "bills and domestic distilled spirits, and stamped vellum, parchment and paper," defining that the question should be taken by yeas and nays on each article distinctly.
The question was accordingly put on striking out "refined sugars." Lost, Yeas 30—Nays 54.
Mr. Dennis then moved to strike out "refined" for the purpose of inserting "brown" sugar.
The Speaker declared the motion out of order, as a decision had just been made against striking out the whole term "refined sugars."
Mr. Dennis moved to strike out "licenses to retailers," in order to insert "bohea tea."
General Varnum asked for a division of the question.
The Speaker said it was indivisible.
Mr. Huger said it had been his intention, after the motions before the house were disposed of, to have moved to insert an amendment for a reduction of the duty on tea; he enquired if he was not precluded from doing so by the decision of the chair.
Mr. Dennis replied that it was his purpose to move the insertion of "tea" in the room of "pleasurable carriages."
The question was then taken by yeas and nays on striking out "licenses to retailers," in order to insert "bohea tea;" And lost—Yeas 31—Nays 57.
Mr. Dennis next moved to strike out "sales at auction," and insert "coffee."
A division of the question was called for, which the Speaker declared not to be in order.
Mr. S. Smith appealed from the decision of the chair, on the division of Mr. Dennis's motion.
Mr. T. Morris called for the yeas and nays.
The question was then taken by yeas and nays on concurring in the decision of the chair, and lost—Yeas 40—Nays 48, and the motion was determined to be indivisible.
The question was then put on striking out "sales at auction," and lost. Yeas 33—Nays 56.
Mr. Speaker. The question now is on the remainder of the motion to insert "coffee."
A member enquired where the word coffee was to be inserted.
Mr. Nicholson said the motion made had been to strike out the words "sales at auction," and insert the word "coffee." The House having determined not to strike out, there was no consequence no place wherein to insert.
Mr. Griswold replied that the difficulty, into which gentlemen were thrown, arose from their having reversed the decision of the chair; but that the question on inserting coffee must be put.
Some additional conversation ensued, when Mr. Hill observed that he had voted against the decision of the chair from an impression that it was wrong; but he was now satisfied it was correct; he therefore, moved a reconsideration of the decision of the House.
Mr. Davis moved to adjourn. Mr. Southard said he felt no embarrassment. In his opinion the decision not to strike out entirely superceded the motion to insert.
The question of adjournment was lost. Mr. S. Smith asked whether the question of reconsideration was a question of order, or whether it was one that admitted of debate.
The Speaker said he would consult the rule respecting questions of reconsideration.
Mr. Bayard said in order to allow time, he moved now to adjourn—carried—Yeas 45—Nays 38.
The ensuing day, the house reversed their decision against that of the chair on the point of order, by Yeas 38—Nays 42.
Mr. Randolph observed that in the repealing bill before the house, there was
a deviation from the terms of the bill proposed to be repealed, in relation to the tax on carriages. In the last bill the terms were "carriages for the conveyance of persons"—in the bill before the house the expression was "pleasurable carriages." He moved therefore to strike out "pleasurable" and insert after "carriages" the words "for the conveyance of persons."
Mr. T. Morris called for a division of the question.
The question was then stated on striking out "pleasurable" and carried without a division.
Mr. Griswold then moved to strike out "carriages."
On this motion a long debate ensued, during which an adjournment was repeatedly, though unsuccessfully called for, by the federal side of the house, when the question was taken on striking out "carriages," and lost. Yeas 25—Nays 48.
Mr. Dennis moved to strike out "refined," for the purpose of inserting "brown" sugar.
Mr. Dana suggested to the gentleman from Maryland a modification of his motion, so as to introduce the words, "imported brown sugar" between "carriages" and "stamped vellum."
Mr. Jackson wished, in order to save time, gentlemen would agree to take a question upon all the articles at once.
Mr. T. Morris said, in that case he should call for a division.
Mr. Randolph moved the previous question. He said that whenever he perceived a question brought forward to vex, to retard, and embarrass the transaction of business, he should deem it proper to require the previous question. Gentlemen may persist in calling the yeas and nays; but on as many such questions as they choose to move he said he would call for the previous question.
The yeas and nays were then taken on the previous question, viz. shall the main question, to insert after "stamped vellum, parchment and paper," the words "the duties on imported brown sugar," be now put?—and lost—Yeas 25—Nays 51.
Mr. T. Morris moved to insert the words "duties on imported coffee;" which motion the Speaker declared out of order.
On the 19th of March, Mr. Dennis again moved to insert after "paper," "duties on imported brown sugar;" which, after considerable debate, was lost. Yeas 31—Nays 53.
Mr. Dennis then moved to insert "duties on imported coffee." On which the yeas and nays were called on the motion of Mr. Dana, and were—Yeas 28—Nays 55—Lost.
The question was then put on engrossing the bill.
Mr. Bayard moved the postponement of the question till Monday.
The question was then taken by yeas and nays on engrossing the bill, and carried—Yeas 61—Nays 26.
When Monday was fixed for the third reading, and the bill with the amendments ordered to be printed in the mean time.
On the 22d the bill was read a second time, when Mr. Griswold moved to recommit it to a committee of the whole, for the purpose of amending its details.
This motion was supported by Messrs. Griswold and Dana; and opposed by Messrs. Randolph, Jones and Johnson; and lost. Yeas 26.
The question was then stated on the passage of the bill, which was advocated by Messrs. S. Smith and Varnum, and opposed by Messrs. Dennis, T. Morris, Lowndes, Dana, Huger, Hailings and Griswold, and finally carried at 6 o'clock in the evening. Yeas 61—Nays 24.
AGRICULTURE.
ON RAISING FOREST TREES FROM SEED.
A COMMUNICATION, Addressed to the Trustees of the Massachusetts Society for promoting agriculture by Colonel Robert Dodge, of Ipswich. The Society's premium of one hundred dollars, or the gold medal, was adjudged to the author for his exertions.
The annual consumption of wood, in this part of the country, greatly exceeds the annual growth. Fuel, which is of the first necessity, is become one of the most expensive articles in the support of a family—and the demand and price of timber for building and mechanical purposes are, every year increasing. The publication of the Massachusetts Society for promoting agriculture, being put into my hands in September 1797, stimulated by the premiums offered by the
trustees and the hope of encouraging similar attempts, I determined to turn my attention to the cultivation of white oaks and other forest trees.
Conceiving that I was possessed of land well adapted to the growth of forest trees, I made choice of a piece of ground on the northern side of a hill, or high swell of land and pretty near the summit, from which there was a gradual descent in every direction. It had formerly been covered with a very heavy growth of white and yellow oak and different kinds of walnut, or hickory, growing native to this part of the country. For many years past it had been improved a pasture, having several trees of the ancient growth scattered over and standing upon it. The piece of ground on which I proposed to make the experiment contained about two acres, and was, for the first time, ploughed up two years before, and in each of the preceding years planted with Indian corn. The native soil is pretty deep rich mould, inclined to moillure, and very rarely pinched with drought. Detached rocks of different sizes are scattered over it. The two acres were inclosed with a good fence for the purpose of forming a forest tree nursery. It was then ploughed once, and harrowed sufficiently to render the mould light and fine, and furrowed both ways viz. at right angles, about four and an half feet distant. On a small part of the ground a little barn manure was put in the angles of the furrows but on the greater part no manure of any kind was laid.
The ground having been just prepared, on the 10th of October 1797, it was planted in the cross furrows, in the form of hills—a part with white and yellow oak acorns—a part with that kind of walnuts called the long bark—a part with chesnuts, and a part with chestnuts, or white walnuts. Four acres and four rows were put into a hill through the whole nursery, and covered about three, and three and an half inches deep.
The labor, in preparing the ground was two and an half day's work of one man and a boy with two pair of oxen, and the man and the boy one day in planting and covering the seed.
Drops of varying the experiment, I had another piece of ground, containing one quarter of an acre, of a hill and situation nearly similar, prepared in the same manner. On the first day of November I sowed it, by broad sowing, with the same kind of acorns and nuts, and with the feeds of white oaks, and then harrowed the ground with an iron tooth harrow.
Just before the frost set in I examined the hills in the nursery, and found the acorns generally sprouted, and some of the sprouts more than two inches in length. The nuts appeared in the same state in which they were planted. In the spring following, I could find only four of the acorns which had sent up shoots out of the ground, and the nuts did not swell sufficiently to burst their shells. But those sowed by broad sowing came up pretty well, and I had them transplanted into a part of the nursery. From these circumstances I concluded that the acorns and nuts planted in the nursery, were put into the ground too early in autumn, and were covered much too deep.
Disappointed in the first attempt, I was still determined to make another trial on the ground inclosed for a nursery. In the latter part of October, 1798, I ploughed, harrowed and furrowed it just as I had done the preceding autumn, and on the 18th day of November I planted in the cross furrows, white and yellow oak acorns, long bark walnuts, chesnuts and oil nuts, and covered them, except four rows, much lighter than the preceding year. The acorns and nuts came up very well, excepting the four rows which were covered about three inches deep. In these rows very few appeared in the spring. By this and similar experiments made since, I have found, that both acorns and nuts vegetate best when only covered over lightly as that no part of them can be seen above the surface. On the same day I planted a small quantity of the seeds of the elm, collected at the time of the seeds falling, which came up remarkably well.
To extend the experiment, I prepared a separate piece of ground, by ploughing and harrowing it, as I had done in the nursery. On the second day of November, I sowed, by broad sowing, about five hundred of the long bark nuts, and left them on the surface of the ground uncovered. As soon as the frost was out in the spring, sufficiently to admit the plow, which was about the last of March, or the first of April, I ploughed them in very lightly. The nuts soon sprouted, and about the middle of May appeared above the surface. Most of them vege-

care and came up far better than any other nuts or acorns.
Care has been taken to keep all the forest trees pretty clear of weeds. The nursery has been ploughed & hoed three and four times in the course of each summer, but no hills have been raised about the trees. The labour in tending the ground has been about the same as tending to much Indian corn, and the ploughings and hoeings, about the same time in the summer.
The growth of the shag-bark walnuts has been remarkably slow. The acorns grew considerably the two first years, but the last summer they appear to have increased somewhat in size, most of them very little or none at all in height—some of the largest, however, have produced luxuriant tops. The chestnuts, walnuts and elms, have grown well. Of all the kinds, the white ash has much exceeded in rapidity and growth.
In the last autumn I had growing upwards of four thousand and two hundred trees from all the kinds of acorns, nuts, and seeds I had planted. But my nursery, which was on sloping ground, was greatly injured by an unusually heavy rain, just before the frost set in. The fall of rain was so great as to occasion several strong currents of water, which produced deep gullies through the longest direction of the ground. By this unfortunate circumstance, more than six hundred trees were torn up and destroyed.
There are now growing (October 13, 1801) from the acorns, nuts and seeds which I have planted, which are three and four years old this autumn from the time of planting, 2792 white and yellow oaks; 442 shag-bark walnuts; 43 silvers; 110 chestnuts; 239 elms; and 41 white ash. The whole number 3642.

LONDON, May 26.
French "Legion of Honor."
A strong and unexpected opposition has manifested itself in the French Legislature. Our readers know that a plan has been proposed for establishing a legion of honor, the nature of which we have already explained. The proposition was warmly recommended in the tribunate by Lucien Bonaparte. A member of the name of Savoy Rollin attacked it with spirit and with great strength of argument. He considered it as the introduction of hereditary and military nobility into the republic. Chauvelin, who was ambassador to this country before the war, opposed it with equal warmth, and condemned it as in the highest degree unconstitutional. Lucien Bonaparte answered Rollin and Chauvelin with great pertinacity, and inveighed against them as having attacked the government. The plan, however, was adopted by the tribunate; but the division upon it was 56 to 36.
In the Legislative Body the opposition was as strong. Our readers know, that by the constitution of that body, that assembly decides upon a plan without hearing speeches from any of its members. Out of the government, and a deputation from the tribunate, plead before it, either for or against any measure, and the assembly proceeds to the vote after it has heard them. On the 19th at night, the discussion upon the legion of honor was opened in the Legislative Body, Lucien Bonaparte defended it, and announced upon the objections made to it in the tribunate. At midnight the legislative body divided and adopted the plan by a majority of 166 to 117. So strong a minority has not been seen for some time.
SLAVE TRADE.
The principle of establishing the slave trade has been adopted, after much opposition. The numbers were 56 for, and 27 against it, in the tribunate; and 241 for, and 63 against it, in the legislative body. The treaty of Amiens has been unanimously approved of by the latter; a medal is to be struck commemorative of it.
End of the Session of the Legislature.
On the 20th the Legislative Body terminated its session. A counsellor of state complimented it in the name of the government upon the services it had conferred upon the country. He took a review of the laws that had been passed—of the restoration of peace to Europe—and of the re-establishment of the Catholic worship. He communicated to the assembly the objects that yet remained to be accomplished, and the measures which would be submitted to them in the next session. The civil, commercial, judicial and criminal codes are to be laid before them; but the manner in which they will be submitted for discussion, will differ from the mode adopted when the civil code was last presented to the legislature.
The French funds are 56L 45c.
FRENCH TRIBUNATE, May 8.
Observations against the establishment of a Legion of Honor.
Savoy Rollin attacked the plan as contrary to the letter and spirit of the constitution. "A free state contains only magistrates and citizens. Those who wish to defend the plan, rely on the 87th article of the constitution; which declares, that national recompences shall be given to those warriors who shall have rendered conspicuous services in fighting for the republic. I only see in that a promise of granting to our brave soldiers individual recompence; but to discover in this article, an order of chivalry, a privileged corps, one must forget our language and our constitution."
"The people ought not to tolerate a body bound by oaths, and more powerful than the people, to undertake the defence of the constitution. The people should be subordinate only to their magistrates, and those magistrates are designated by the constitution."
"Tribunes, to accept a Legion of Honor , is to accept of a Patrician Order ! It is the introduction of an hereditary and military nobility in the republic."
"After twelve years of frightful calamities, which the genius of France (guided by one of those extraordinary men who are necessary to finish revolutions) has surmounted, to accept of such an institution, aimed with power and privileges, would be to go back to the point from which we set out. What do I say? It is going back to those barbarous ages that gave birth to the feudal system, which began with war-horses, fine coats of armour and festivals, but which ended with enslaving of Europe for eighteen centuries."
"Such is the case now in Russia, and in Turkey, where the condition of the citizen or subject is subordinate to the class of soldiers. In a free state, the civil officer, ought to have the first places."
"It will be quite different in the Legion of Honor , and will it not be shameful, that an officer who shall have carried a redoubt at the point of the sword, should have a higher rank than Montesquieu, the author of the immortal work 'The Spirit of Laws'."
"For many ages our kings even did not dare to trust the defence of their states to knights errant or to orders of chivalry. Why this exclusive denomination of Legion of Honor , as if honor was an exclusive privilege? Honor is not given, it is acquired. Often those to whom it is given, have not deserved it, and those have deserved it to whom it has not been given. Besides one of the dispositions of the plan proposes the execution till the first Vendemiare, year 12. I do not see why the sanction of it should not be postponed for the same term. I vote its rejection." This speech was ordered to be printed.
Chauvelin opposed the plan that was now presented; and thought that both the authors and defenders of it had very widely departed from the object they declared. Without doubt it is incumbent on us to discharge the great debt of national gratitude to our brave warriors; we must confirm what has been already decreed, and add other rewards of a new, honorable and distinguished nature. But, can it be necessary to incorporate civil functionaries in an organization altogether military? In the ancient republics military exploits have been often rewarded by civil distinctions; a crown of laurel or of oak leaves adorned alike the head of the warrior and the magistrate, the poet and the artist; but this will be the first time that heroism in civil offices is to be repaid by military honors, that are nothing in the eyes of reason, if not gained in battle. If the oath required of his corps was necessary for the security of our rights, it should be taken by the army in general, and by all Frenchmen. If it be superfluous, it can only tend to call in question that equality which the laws consecrate, which is dear to all Frenchmen, which was introduced by our manners for half a century past, and which was rather acknowledged than required in 1789. Such a corporation as this would partake of the vices of Noblesse, on account of the distinction conferred upon it; it would, like the clergy, possess itself of estates in the mortmain, and would, like them, continue a separate order in the state. The authors of the plan represented this institution as a useful intermediary between the power of the government and the public opinion; such doctrine is altogether unconstitutional; in a representative government the constituted authorities are the only intermediaries between the government and the people. In France, it is the tribunate, the senate & the legislative body, that are the constituted intermediaries. In order to pay the great debt of national gratitude it may be necessary to strike out a new coin, but this coin, however, should not be struck at the expence of the French people. He voted for rejecting it.
LONDON, May 27.
REPORTED ATTEMPT ON BONAPARTE.
A most extraordinary report has been brought from Calais, by a vessel which arrived at Dover last night. It is, that the life of Bonaparte has been again attempted. The attempt is said to have been made upon the pirate at the Quindredi review. The conspirators surrounded him, and stabbed him. Happily the wound was slight; an Aide-de-Camp, however, near him, was mortally wounded.
We give this as a rumour, without vouching ourselves in the slightest degree for its authenticity. It may be only an echo of a report circulated here some days ago, on the authority of some pri-
vate accounts from Paris, which mentioned, that a conspiracy against Bonaparte's life had been planned, but had been discovered.
PRUSSIAN MEASURES.
According to a letter from Ratisbon of the 14th instant, very unpleasant rumours had been received from Nuremberg, purporting, that the Imperial city would shortly be taken possession of by the Prussian troops. The alarm occasioned among the burghers of that place, jealous of their antient liberties, became so serious, that the magistrates found themselves under the necessity of taking measures to secure the public tranquility.
The King of Prussia will, it is said, also take possession of the bishoprics of Bamberg and Wirtzburg. These events are expected to take place immediately on the arrival of Baron Hardenberg, the Prussian minister, who is shortly expected at Auspach. The court of Vienna has made remonstrances with regard to the execution of these measures, to the Cabinet of Berlin, but has been very little attended to.
SWITZERLAND.
The insurgents of Switzerland give out, that they are favoured by the French government, and they have even hoisted the French colours. Their object is the abolition of taxes, tythes, &c. and we have no doubt that France directs their movements, that it may become necessary for her to take them under her protection; but the French minister in Switzerland, Verniade, has found it prudent for decency's sake, to deny, that his government countenances their proceedings.
A curious circumstance is mentioned in the long and circumstantial report of the French Tribune Daru on the recruiting of the army. He says, that in the Northern district of France the number of men unfit by physical constitutions for arms is a seventh of the whole. In the South they are a fifth. Besides this, so unwarlike are the people of the South compared with those of the North, that Alsace was found to have furnished one soldier out of every sixty five inhabitants. Auch furnished only one out of every 628. These facts are strong confirmations of the theories which attribute great influence to climate on human character. The people of the South of France are by physical constitutions, and still more by character, less warlike than those of the North, other circumstances of religion, government, &c. being equal. Perhaps something may be owing to the North being more agricultural. The Romans, however, in a more Southern climate than France, were in the early ages of the Republic as warlike as any nation ever was, and if there was a tendency in the climate to enervate, it was counteracted by their political institutions.
THE TURKISH REBEL.
The Cabinet of Vienna has received important information respecting Pashwan Oglou, by an Austrian, who served as a quartermaster officer in the Pacha's army, but deserted from Widdin on the 4th of April, to return home. He states, in an affidavit made before the Austrian commandant at Mehadia, that the flower of Pashwan Oglou's army consists of Christians of almost every country in Europe, and amounts to 6000 men at the farthest, whom he pays and treats in the most liberal manner. Of natives and Janissaries he can always command from 10 to 12,000 men, who are better disciplined than the troops of the Grand Seignor. Many Frenchmen, who escaped from Hungary, where they were retained prisoners of war, and near 1000 English emigrants, form separate corps.

To all whom it may concern, that I, NICHOLAS WHELAN, of the City of Washington, have obtained power of attorney from Father Patrick Whelan, now in the City of Galway in Ireland, to collect all his debts and pay all his creditors here, and in general to do his business, as he himself could do in law or equity. This is to give notice, that such as will not come to me and pay their accounts with the aforesaid Patrick Whelan, that I shall proceed to compel them as the law directs in such case.

The official report of the Board of Health of Philadelphia of the date of July 22, announces the entire disappearance of the Yellow Fever.
Extracts of a letter from an authentic source at Algiers, dated the 14th and 15th May, 1802.
"On the 29th March failed five Algerine corsairs—and on the 29th of April failed seven. To this date they have sent in two Neapolitans, taken within one mile of Toulon; also two Spanish vessels, one loaded with sugar, condemned for a prize—the other took the Algerine for a pirate, and abandoned his vessel, and on this account is condemned, cargo of wheat."
"There has also this day arrived an Algerine corsair, bringing with him two French brigs, which were destined for the West Indies. The Algerine says they fired two guns at him, and for this they are sent in, but I suppose will be cleared."
"On the 31st March, two Swedes and one American frigate were cruising off Tripoli. To that date nothing had been taken by the Tripoline corsairs, which were then all in port."
"15th—This day arrived an Algerine 44 gun frigate, and brought with her a Portuguese frigate of 44 guns. After two hours combat the Algerine boarded the Portuguese and carried her. The Portuguese has 312 men landed here, and 42 killed and wounded. The Algerine had 30 killed. A great affair to Algiers—and frigate and crew is a loss and dishonor to Portugal, which cannot be retrieved."
"This day the Dey declared that all christian corsairs which his corsairs should find in, that should not have Mediterranean passports, should be condemned and considered as enemies. This was the declaration of the Dey to the French Consul."
The following observations respecting the Gallican Hero are extracted from the Boston Chronicle. Though in some respect just, they are in others not so. It is not acknowledged that Bonaparte is the "greatest engineer, mathematician and statesman in Europe." It is not always an evidence of greatness, and particularly when that greatness depends upon military force. He owes every thing to this mercenary instrument. He led too the soldiers of the Republic, who in the enthusiasm of liberty swept all before them. Time will shew us, whether the same triumphs will attend the banners of slaves. Heretofore he has acted for his country, now he acts for himself. This realised, and the spell of his universal reputation is gone. Respecting the tranquility of France we predict nothing; but fear every thing.
From the Boston Chronicle.
NEAPOLEONE BONAPARTE
Is either above or below the standard of public opinion—time will show which. He is acknowledged to be the greatest soldier, officer, engineer, mathematician and statesman in Europe. He has never fought a battle, which he has not won. He has never made a treaty, which has not humbled his adversary, and advanced his own credit with that of the nation whose affairs he directs. Nor has he proposed a single scheme of public utility, which has not finally succeeded. He is also an orator, a fine writer, a virtuoso, chemist and legislator. He seems as if he had eclipsed all his cotemporaries; and as if kings and emperors were lost in the effulgence of his glory. He has fought with the greatest generals and finest troops in the world. The names of these generals are already forgotten, or are only remembered to illustrate his fame. Their troops have been broken, scattered and annihilated. He has been twice in sight of Vienna. Germany, invulnerable even to the Romans, has been pierced by a thousand wounds in a thousand points, by the persevering, irresistible courage of a Republican soldiery, led on by this favorite child of victory—"an obscure, self-created Corlieu." He has negotiated with the most subtle and accomplished veterans in diplomacy, and of the old school; yet it is not even pretended that in the cabinet he has not improved every military event to the greatest possible advantage. If his life were measured, by his great actions, he has already infinitely transcended those narrow limits which the infatuated multitude have prescribed to our mortal or physical excellence—and strange to say, this soldier, general, statesman and legislator is no more than thirty-three years of age. What is there wanting to hold his portrait? Only that common sense and common honesty should constitute the ground work of his other qualifications.
and he will be hailed by future generations as a ploughman in nature, which has never been equalled and perhaps never can be surpassed in any age or country. It is his ambition to make the French Republic as great in arts as in arms—to give it a new code of laws, civil and commercial, together with a new system of education; and to annihilate faction, by raising the national spirit and character to the highest point of glory, and by judiciously employing merit and talents without regard to party. What he has done is nothing! what he may do, leaves the mind in uncertainty, suspended between hope and fear. He will not live in vain; he will become either the greatest statesman, or the greatest tyrant, to society. He will have no common fate. He will terminate his existence amidst the plaudits or execrations of mankind!
As to the confirmation of what the Rev. Mr. Kaldwin has said in his Election Sermon, respecting the excellence of a project to divide the United States, we may add that Mr. Sedgwick, in his oration, delivered at Stockbridge, the 5th of July this year, declared his opinion in favor of such a division, as the best for the reason for it, that although New England by herself, was pure, yet evil communications corrupt good morals. (Boston Chronicle.)
A Reciprocation of Compliments.
A deputation from the Reformed Church (Protestants) lately waited on Bonaparte; and amongst other compliments, said, "They would call the XIXth Century, the Age of Bonaparte." The First Consul, in his answer, said, "That he saw with pleasure the Members of the Consistory of the Reformed Church of Paris;—that government was sensible of their attachment, and knew that the morality preached in their temple was pure, and as favorable to good orders as good manners."
OF BONAPARTE.
The French papers are as full of anecdotes of Bonaparte as ever they were during the ancient regime of the Grand Monarques . A deputation of 102 members of the Legislative Body, was lately introduced to an audience; to express concurrence of the Legislature individually, in the testimony of national gratitude exhibited in the vote to elect him Consul for life; and of their conviction that the public gratitude would soon be declared. Bonaparte, in his reply, said: "Let the people manifest their will in all its freedom—in all its independence—it shall be obeyed.—Whatever may be my destiny, whether Consul or private Citizen—I shall exist only for the grandeur and happiness of France."
HEALTH OFFICE,
BALTIMORE, July 22, 1802.
To relieve the public mind from any inordinate apprehension relative to the excellence of a malignant fever in our city, and to check the various and contradictory reports which are circulating on the subject—the board of health conceive it their indispensable duty, after having made all the inquiries in their power, to detail the following statement of facts:
That on the 23d of July, John Kelly, Thames street, Fell's Point, sickened with a fever marked with the characteristics of a malignant fever, and died the 7th.
Joseph Hopkins, who lived in the counting house of Messrs. Pollard and Cornthwaite, Bowly's wharf, sickened on the 2d, of a similar fever, and died the 7th.
Joshua Cole, an apprentice to Thomas J. Witt, currier, in Cumberland Row, sickened the 3d, and died the 12th.
John Wilson, who lived at Fell's Point, near Wilson's wharf, after undergoing much fatigue for several days, sickened at George-town the 14th, and died the 19th, the second day after his return to his brother's, in East-freet.
James Smith, carpenter, at Fell's Point, sickened the 15th, and is now in great danger.
Charles Frederick Lanberger, a baker, in Light-street, sickened on the 17th, and is now dangerously ill in the hospital.
Mrs. Smith, wife of James Smith, sickened the 19th, and is now ill.
Nicholas Willis, who lived in the counting house of Mr. Repold, sickened on the 11th, and is now well.
In the investigation of the circumstances of the above cases of fever, the board of health have ascertained, to their entire satisfaction, two points of material interest to our citizens—
1st. That in no instance has the disease been communicated to the attendants or friends of the sick.
2d. That from the different situations of those who have fallen victims to the disease, they could not have derived it from the same neighborhood.
The board are, therefore, willing to believe, that these instances of disease which have unhappily appeared in our city, are solitary cases of a malignant fever, from which, in the course of a few years, we have not been wholly exempt during the hot months.
These observations are not made to

full our citizens into a security that might prove fatal; but to suggest the necessity of vigilance, without alarm, and of an attention to individual cleanliness, which no police can sufficiently enforce:—For, from whatever source the yellow fever may be derived, it is now admitted that impure air is necessary to its fatal propagation.
By order of the Board, ASHTON ALEXANDER, President. Attell, ADAM FORRESTER, Secretary.

New York, July 21. Captain Swalley, of the sloop Augustine, informs us that a few days previous to his sailing a party of Indians, under General Bowles, impressed and took prisoners one woman and seven children near St. Augustine, in the absence of the father of the family, and killed the eldest son, a young man about twenty-three years of age. About the time these several whites and blacks were in distress by another of Bowles's parties. This chieftain has fitted out a privateer schooner in waiting 14 guns, to cruise against the Seminoles; and has already made two prizes.
FROM THE BOSTON GAZETTE. In the year 1790, some letters of a confidential nature, but embracing certain topics of political discussion, passed between the then Vice President of the United States, and a gentleman of distinguished eminence in this town.
One of these letters, by some accident, into which it is not necessary to enquire, has been read by, and perhaps has come to the public. The letter itself was not produced; but its contents have been frequently commented on, not to say misrepresented in private circles, by men who have declared they had seen it, and whose eagerness to excite odium against the late President, is as well known as its motives.
The publication of the letter will deprive them partly of the power of misrepresentation. But let them not despair, they will still enjoy that of misconstruction. The letter of 12th September is only introductory to that which has been the subject of so much animadversion; but its publication is obviously proper for two reasons, because it serves to explain the occasion upon which the second letter was written, and because it contains an opinion respecting the result of the French revolution, the justice of which will be afforded to more generally now, than it was at the time when it was written.
There is a class of people, who begin to be uneasy, when their early opinions upon that great event are now remembered. Finding the mantle of oblivion too scanty to cover the ample extent of their own errors, they are now anxious to detect and expose equal errors on the part of their opponents. Their only resource now is to spread the opinion that the French Revolution has disappointed all parties; its partisans and its opposers. Such is the language of the London Courier, in the extract published in your last paper. This expedient is ingenious; but it will not answer. The post is well chosen, as well as the ground yet left will admit. But it is not tenable. It is but the refuge of a moment; and like all the former fortresses, if not wrested from them, must soon be abandoned by themselves.
New-York, Sept. 12, 1790. Dear Sir, Upon my return from Philadelphia to which beloved city I have been for the purpose of getting an hour to put my head in next winter, I had the pleasure of receiving your favor of the second of this month.
The light of our old liberty hall, and of several of our old friends, had brought your venerable idea to my mind, and continued it there a great part of the last week, so that a letter from you on my arrival, received but in continuation. I am much obliged to the confidential friend for writing the short letter you dictated, and shall beg a continuation of good offices.
Gen. *** whom I know very well, has my hearty good wishes. I shall give your letter and his to the Secretary of the treasury, the duty of whose department it is to receive and examine all applications of the kind. Applications will probably be made in behalf of the officers who served the last war in the navy, and they will be likely to have the preference to all others; but Capt. ***'s application shall, nevertheless, be preferred and have a fair chance.
My family, as well as myself, are I thank God in good health, and in as
good spirits as the prospect of a trouble- some removal will admit. Mrs. A— desires her particular regards to your lady and yourself. What, my old friend, is this world about to become? Is the millennium commencing? Are the kingdoms of it about to be governed by reason? Your Boston town-meetings, and our Harvard College have set the universe in motion. Every thing seems certain—but what will be built up. Are there any principles of political architecture? What are they? Were Voltaire and Rousseau masters of them? Are their disciples acquainted with them? Locke taught them principles of liberty, but I doubt very much whether they have not yet to learn the principles of government. Will the struggle in Europe be any thing more than a change of imposters and impostures? With great esteem and sincere affection, I am my dear Sir, your friend and servant, JOHN ADAMS.
EPIGRAM. If Eve in her innocence could not be Mam'd, Because going naked she was not sham'd; Whose views the ladies, as ladies now are, That again they grow innocent sure will confess, And that artfully to retain the evil; By the Devil once tempted, they now tempt the Devil.
[From the SALEM GAZETTE.] On reading that the Mammoth Cheese was cut and distributed among a company, celebrating the anniversary of Independence at Washington: Why, gamblers, when with wine elate, And quaffing at your gate, While roasting every thing that's great, Did you not toast your CHEESE?
[From the NATIONAL ARGUS.] [The beautiful poem, we have this day selected, is from the glowing and animated pencil of JAMES ALLAN, of Boston. The pride of an American is ever gratified by giving publicity to the works of American genius.—Brissot, in his travels through America, has spoken of Mr. Allan, as "a careless poet," and has compared him to Fontaine, who never corrected, and seldom preserved any copy of his works. It is much to be regretted that there are so few traces remaining, of the strong and vivid imagination, which gave birth to this truly poetical description. His genius, like the rainbow, has occasionally gleamed across our literary horizon, but its colors have melted away, and its form is no longer to be seen.]
AN INTENDED INSCRIPTION Written for the Monument on Beacon Hill, in Boston, and addressed to the Passenger.
WHERE stanch'd your sail, beneath what foreign sky? Did jovial landscapes ever charm your eye, Could fancy's fairy pencil, stranger! say, E'en dipt in dreams, a nobler scene portray? Behold yon vales, whose skirts elude your view, And mountains fading to aerial blue! Along their bowry flanks how healthy roll Alternate sports, or tends the mellow toll. See rural towns 'mid groves and gardens rise, And castward—where the Kneeling ocean lies. Lo! our fair Capital fulfils the scene, New Albion's pride, and ocean's future queen. How o'er the tradeful port august the miles, Her fair like haven hosts an hundred isles, Whence hard commerce twells the lofty sails, O'er arctic seas, and mocks the polar gales. Thence tides of wealth the waiting breezes bring. And hence e'en culture feels its vital spring. These scenes our Sires from rugged nature wrought. Since what dire wars their patriot race have fought! Witness yon tracks, where first the Prison bled, Drwn by our youth, redoubled Piquey fled; There Breed ascends, and Bunker's bleeding keeps, Still o'er whose brow abortive Victory weeps, What trophies since, the gaze of after times, Reard Freedom's empire o'er our happy climes! But hence, fond stranger, take a nobler view, See yon shorn elm, whence all these glories grew. Here where the armed foe presumptuous trod, Trampled our shrines, and even mouth'd our God. His vengeful hand, deep as the parent-root, Lopt each grown branch, and ev'ry suckling shoot; Because beneath her consecrated shade, Our earliest vows to Liberty were paid. Flung from her Altar blew the heaven caught fire, While all our wealth o'erhung the kindling pyre. How at the deed the Nations flood ashore, As on the pile our slighted lives we call. O! if an alien from our far domains, The bloom of Britain, napless taint your veins, Pace o'er that hallow'd ground with awed tread, And tears, atoning, o'er yon relick shed! But if, America! your language springs, From Sires, who won the pedigree of kings, A Georgian born, you breathe the tepid air, Or on the breezy banks of Delaware, Or hardy Hampshire claim your haughty birth, Revers yon root, and kiss its nurturing earth; * The stump of a Liberty-tree.
As its fibres fed by flowing springs, Whence rose our empires o'er the thrones of kings; E'en now descend, adore the dear remain, Where first reard Liberty's illumi'd lane, There all her race, while time revolve, shall come, As pilgrims flock to Mecca's idol'd tomb.
POST OFFICE. Washington, July 22, 1802. THE Post Master respectfully informs those inhabitants who cannot make it convenient to call at the Office and pay their postage account before the first day of next month, that he shall be under the necessity of declining to credit them thereafter.
Although the expense, loss, and trouble of keeping, copying and pretending for payment, a great number of small accounts, might be urged as a sufficient reason for discontinuing the practice, even in cases of punctual payment being made on demand; yet, the Post Master would, as heretofore, readily yield his convenience and accommodation to that of the inhabitants, but when they are assured that several total losses have been sustained, and a considerable amount, long since due to the office, still remains unpaid, notwithstanding payment has been applied for, and the Post Master has been obliged to account for, and pay it to government, they doubtless will all admit that it would be remiss in duty to continue to give credit under such circumstances. With those who will pay at the office monthly, in future, account a will with pleasure be kept, if it will be a convenience to them, and they express a wish for it to be done.
THOMAS MUNROE, P. M.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. May, 14, 1802. DEFINITIVE TREATY.
Mr. Sheridan reviewed the subject in a speech replete with humor as to excite continued bursts of laughter, so loud that many of his points escaped us. As well as we could collect he expressed himself nearly in the following words. "I can most sincerely assure Gentlemen that no man can be more reluctant than I am to trespass on their attention, or to risk that indulgence which I have so frequently experienced; but having given notice of an amendment on the motion submitted yesterday to the House, I feel myself pledged to bring it forward; at the same time I make the declaration universally made by all who have spoken on this question, that it is not my intention to go into the details, and there will be this singularity in me, that I will keep my word. It is impossible to add anything to the observations that have been already made on the subject, but the view men took of the subject, but the view that I mean to take is somewhat new. I set out with a preface rather alarming: I fear, that what I have to say, will be popular with only a very small number of those who hear me. It is naturally the desire of all those who address public assemblies, to take that line which is most likely to meet the temper and obtain the concurrence of those to whom their speeches are directed. I never did obtain the concurrence of a majority in this house, and at present, that it is divided into many parties, where there are eleven, or twelve, or thirteen different sets of men, who stand by themselves, I cannot hope that what I shall say will be approved by any one of them, except the remnant of that phalanx so often held up to censure from the other side of the House, but whose very prediction respecting the war is now verified. There is not one of my Hon. Friends near me who has not repeatedly warned the country of the approach of evils so necessarily consequent to the measures that were pursued, yet there is not one of them who is not filled with sorrow on seeing the country brought into that humiliation which we fore saw from those measures. The right hon. gentleman who has just sat down has arraigned the general motives of those who brought forward this motion. He says that it goes to the abilities of the ministers by whom the peace was signed; certainly it does, but these gentlemen never disseminated, they never approved of the preliminaries, their conduct has been always consistent. The address, it is said, throws a censure on ministers for having concluded the peace. I wish to throw no censure, I approve of the peace as we could not get a better. The right hon. gentleman was brought in by his predecessor, who had brought the country into that situation in which the only alternative was, a ruinous war, or peace on such terms as could be obtained. On that ground, and on that alone, I approve the peace. The right hon. gentleman says, that the observations of the hon. gentleman who instituted this enquiry, tend to disparage the country, that they caused a great sensation of despondency at the east and west-end of the town. I return thanks to the hon. gentleman on that very account; that being aware of the feelings which their observations must excite, and not regarding those feelings, they had done their duty in condemning a necessary but distasteful and insecure peace. Does not any man know that our danger is now better understood than it was before this discussion; and is not credit to be given
to those who brought on this discussion? and would they have done their duty if they had not brought it on? An hon. member, who did not suspect the motives of these gentlemen (Mr. Dundas) who is not now in his place, and whose absence, not consistent with his general manly spirit, I lament: but possibly, he has found reason to alter his last night's opinion (a loud laugh,) conceived that, like the peace of the American war, the object of this discussion on this place, to turn out the ministers who made it. This is a heavy charge against a party who never dignified their opinions, and whose leader was never once suspected of any such mercenary motive. There is another person with whom I had the good fortune to be intimate in the earlier part of my life, who has now made a discovery of talents that have not, belied the predictions long since given of him, and whose talents, it is to be lamented, had not been sooner applied to the benefit of his country, has found out that the effect of the principles on which they argue is to make peace impossible, and to keep the country in a state of eternal war. One who has been in the same cabinet with them, finds out that they are foolish and ambitious; another concludes that they are actuated by motives that render peace impossible, and yet he voted for giving them the thanks of the house as a part of the late administration. I leave it to the ingenuity of those about him to reconcile these contradictions, as he himself will not have the opportunity, having spoken before, and possibly his not having it is the reason why he shews so much confidence (a loud laugh.) The right hon. gentleman explained himself the other night as if he was afraid of being understood not to approve of every part of the war; he approved of it highly, but he conceived it was time to stop when the country was exhausted.
With every respect for him, I think it was better to have stopped a little earlier. A very good opportunity was given in 1801, and every drop of blood, and every shilling of money spent that time is chargeable on those who wantonly and wickedly rejected the overtures then made. The right hon. gentleman whose abilities have not disappointed the expectation which they had raised, says, that the country will pause and repose. But what is that repose, the repose of a war establishment? I will go hand in hand with those who wish to keep up a stout establishment; and however party may prevail in this house, a thing extremely lamentable, that when a great power had its whole force and its whole attention fixed on us, we should be engaged in weighing rivers and islands; yet I would have Frenchmen see that the time is come when British spirit is roused, when British patience, long abused, will turn to resolution, and oppose an irresistible bulwark against all further invasion. The right hon. gentleman says, our honor is preserved; that depends on the manner in which the negotiation was conducted. If it is the greatest strife the enemy has been imposing, our honor is as much affected as if it was a matter of the greatest importance. The right hon. gentleman says, nothing has been relinquished: Is it possible that with common sense or common memory he can hold such language? It will be recollected that this was not a war of territory; and I will ask, if any thing that was named, as its object, shifted and varied as they were, from time to time, was not relinquished. We were told we were at war to prevent the aggrandizement of France, to prevent Holland from forming a close alliance with her. Brabant was to be recovered for Austria; and lastly, we were to obtain indemnity for the past, and security for the future. But the most cautious of all the right hon. gentleman's arguments was, that a government founded on jacobin principles, was in itself an evil of such magnitude that it was resolved with the last exertion this country could make. Ceylon and Trinidad are our indemnity for the past, our security for the future, acquired at the expense of 350,000,000l. of money, and the lives of 200,000 men. As a rule has been adopted in this war of giving titles from our acquisitions or our victories, or any other memorable thing that may be connected, I propose that these islands be called Security Island and Indemnity Island, not being very particular which is one, and which is the other, leaving that entirely to the taste of his Majesty's ministers, but by all means affixing these memorable terms to these great acquisitions. (A loud and very long laugh.) This is the way in which we have gained much and relinquished nothing. The noble Lord has a favorite expression, which he says expresses the thing more perfectly than any other. He says the situation of Italy and Switzerland is very unsatisfactory; but that Great Britain alone is in a situation perfectly satisfactory with her acquisitions of Ceylon and Trinidad. But the noble Lord has a better reason, he finds it a consolation for every thing, that we are here now debating, according to the old forms (laugh.) With respect for the noble Lord, I see no reason why this may not be without the war, or how it was inconsistent with an earlier peace. Prussia, which made peace earlier, pre-
ceived its constitution; and when the noble Lord talks of ascending according to the old forms, in an armed repose, with a confidence, which is nothing but vigilance, he should first prove that we could not be so without the war. The noble Lord talks of France returning to civilized society, having laid aside its jacobinism. It was curious to look on Bonaparte, the child and champion of jacobinism, the best born of him who had slain his parents, now called the author of the greatest blessing to Europe. This is conceived the best time to make peace, but for my part I cannot think it; for surely there will be a greater disposition in the people of other nations, to fraternize with the people of France now, that the Massenas, Bernadottes and Moreaus, raised to eminence from the lowest stations by their merit, than when Bonaparte ruled by the guillotine, and all France was stained with blood. The noble Lord also made use of a remarkable phrase, that Bonaparte begged pardon of God and man; yes the pious, prostrate Bonaparte, begged pardon of God for making a tool of the foreign Pontiff, by bringing back the prelates of the Gallican church, and continuing them with the salaries of curates, upon every person who remains attached to royalty. How had he begged pardon of man? By coming down on that honest, simple, hospitable people, the Swiss, and destroying the independence earned by the bravery of their ancestors. Now, Sir, with respect to Malta, I must confess I should rather have given it at once to France. A right hon. gentleman spoke out pretty boldly that night upon this subject (Mr. Dundas,) although he has shown no great proof of his courage this night by running away. He says, he should not have made a peace on condition of giving up Malta. But, I remember when he used strong language. I recollected when the right honourable gentleman said, the minister who should make peace on such terms should lose his head; yet we see this very minister with his head on (a laugh,) and I don't find that the right hon. gentleman has recommended that for of process. Now I should say to France, "take Malta, and we will retain the Cape." Another reason for the arrangement made for Malta, we are told the Emperor of Russia would not take it. Now, if the right hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Addington) will assure me that he knows that to be the fact, I must give him credit; but upon my honour I do not believe one word of it. It has always been a favourite point in the politics of Russia to acquire a port in the Mediterranean. The Emperor Paul, I know, has been represented as a madman; but there was a method in his madness, and I, therefore, cannot think he would have been mad enough to refuse such an offer; and, Sir, I can the less believe it, because I find that Russia has sent a force to tranquillize the republic of the Seven Islands, at the instance of France, its guarantees. Why therefore should she refuse to interfere, and, what is more, to take Malta, is not easy to imagine. The Noble Lord opposite (Lord Hawkesbury) talks of our maritime strength and commerce, and he censures any observations which may excite dissatisfaction, and lower the tone of the country; but he fears nothing from France. Now, what for or shape of a statesman must he be who can look at the gigantic power of France, the enormous strides she has taken, and the boundless ambition which, I am sorry to find, the still displays, and fear nothing from France, but every thing from the tone and temper of discussion here. I may certainly give such a man credit for courage; but I cannot give him credit for wisdom as a statesman. But he has found an excellent reason for not being afraid of Bonaparte. He says colonies will give him commerce, and that the enjoyment of trade and wealth will divert his mind from war, and be a pledge of future peace. Sir, I do not know what France shall be, but I do know that she is now a hard iron Republic. Bonaparte, from his education, and the sort of company he has kept, they allow us as yet a little rough, but then if you could only catch him and clap him behind the counter, he will become perfectly civil and quiet. I thought, Sir, that Martinique, St. Lucia, and all the other islands and colonies which we have given to France, were so many concessions, but now, Sir, I find they are only so many baits laid by the noble Lord to get him into the trap of trade, that he may start a competitor against us as a proprietor & dealer in colonies (a laugh.) Why, Sir, I think it would be the wittiest plan if the merchants of London were to enter into a subscription to set him up in business (a laugh) instead of entering into one for erecting a statue. I know the high mind and spirit of the right hon. gentleman for whom it is intended, would rather be should be applied in that way. Indeed I do not know a fit place for such a statue; the bank would perhaps be considered as the best site. It would not, to be sure, be made of gold, for there is none of that in that quarter, but there is to be sure it might be made of paper-mache. (A loud laugh.) I should now propose to go to India, but I fear that would be to break my word.
