TOGETHER WITH AN ACCOUNT OF The Improvements in Sheep at Arlington,
The native Sheep of Smith's Island, and the plans proposed of extending this valuable race of animals, for the benefit of the country at large:
By GEORGE W. P. CUSTIS Esq. Of Arlington House, in the District of Columbia.
At a time when the energies of the nation seem awakened to the state of our foreign and domestic concerns, we conceive that the important interests of Agriculture and Manufactures should meet with a considerable share of the public discussion. Certain it is, that at no period of our political history could these national subjects excite more interest or be more properly urged to the notice of the public mind. The unsettled and impending appearance of our foreign affairs, and the present disturbed state of the European world, renders it doubly necessary for the citizens of America to cherish and promote their domestic policy, whereby they may derive those resources which are now obtained from abroad and create wealth and industry within themselves. Too long have these important and patriotic interests been neglected. The nation now feels their want, and we trust will duly provide for their support. Government, hitherto engaged in other concerns, will now cherish those domestic institutions, which will preserve the nation's dignity and promote the people's welfare.
Of the merits of the little work we are about to issue to the public, it is not our province to decide, but of the advantages to be derived from its sale we would beg leave to say every thing which a disinterested exertion in the cause of Domestic Manufacture justly demands.—And as the profits of this work, after the expences of publication are paid, will be solely devoted to the purposes of the Arlington Institution, we may hope and confidently expect a liberal patronage from a discerning and patriotic community.

Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS. There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, in centre of the square between King and Mercer streets, and fronting on Wasbin and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a lic alley on one side, and an open space cannot be built on the other. For a lic situation it is unequalled by any pro in Alexandria.
ALSO,
A LOT OF GROUND, at the west end about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 83 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it on each side.
A handsome LOT OF GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE OF GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, with one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing something less than two acres.

Also some very VALUABLE SLAVES they should be wanted for the farm.

FRENCH DECREES & BRITISH ORDERS.
The deceptions which have been practised by the friends of the administration, in regard to the French decrees against neutral commerce and the British orders in council, have rendered it important to call the attention of the public to the subject, and to expose the misrepresentations of those whose systematic object is to palliate the outrages of one of the belligerent powers & to aggravate those of the other. To ask the partisans of France and of the administration to correct the misrepresentations would be useless and idle: but we do hope that all the editors of papers who wish the people to be correctly informed of the nature of our foreign relations, and of the real causes of our embarrassment and degradation, will lend us their aid, at this eventful period, in correcting the false impressions which have been extensively made by cunning misrepresentations.
It is every day asserted in the government papers, and has at length come to be very generally believed, even by men who wish for correct information, that Bonaparte's Berlin decree remained a dead letter, until it was stimulated into life and activity by the British orders in council—that previous to those orders it was never intended to be executed against the U. States.
The last Washington Monitor, an official paper of the cabinet, says:
"The Berlin decree was never carried into effect against neutrals (as has been proved by British merchants strictly examined at the bar of the house of Commons) before the English orders of council were issued in November last; and, indeed Napoleon could not have executed that decree against the Americans, who were the principal neutral, without risking a war with us, which it was far from being his desire then to provoke."
Mr. Brougham, an eminent counsellor, who appeared before the British house of Commons in support of certain petitions against the orders in council, declared:
"That there is not only no evidence of those measures [the French decrees] having been enforced, but every argument and proof against the power of the enemy to urge them in some respects, and in others, to show that he had no desire to do so. Those decrees of the enemy have been nothing but so much waste paper; in other words, they are a repetition of the ancient, unprofitable and vapid gasconade of the French government. These decrees had not, and could not, have any effect, but to evince to the world that Bonaparte had some desires which he could not gratify."
Mr. Baring, respectable and well informed as he is, has imprudently ventured to assert, in his pamphlet, that it is "a notorious fact" that "no condemnation of an American vessel had ever taken place," under the Berlin decree, previous to the publication of the British orders.
Several witnesses examined at the bar of the British house of commons testified the same thing.
Mr. Wilson C. Nicholas, the leading ministerial member in the house of representatives of the United States, from the state of Virginia, in a circular letter to his constituents, holds the same language, and
Every democratic paper in the U. States has so long and so uniformly represented the execution of Bonaparte's decree against us, a retaliating measure occasioned by the British orders, that many honest and well informed men, staggered by such numerous assertions, have been induced to give up the point, and to acknowledge, that tho' France is the aggressor in words, our commerce is really undisturbed, and our rights unimpaired until the British orders induced the French emperor to enforce his decree against us, contrary to his original intention.
The whole of this is a gross delusion, which we shall easily dissipate from the mind of any one who will lend us his attention for a few moments, while we examine the subjoined official documents, which state that it was the original intention of Bonaparte to enforce his blockading decree against the commerce of the U. States; and that he actually did so enforce it, long before the publication of the British orders in council, in open violation of the acknowledged law of nations and of his own solemn treaty with this country.
To prove this, and silence the adherents of the administration, we have only to attach to the dates of the following transactions the decree of Bonaparte, declaring the British isles, and their dependencies, in a
state of blockade, and forbidding all neutral commerce with them, was issued at Berlin, as is well known, on the 21st of November, 1806.
The British orders in council, declaring France and her dependencies in a state of blockade, were first published in the London Gazette on the 15th of November, 1807, and could not have been known in Paris, in the common course of communication, before the 25th of the same month, or, probably, the 1st of December.
On the 30th of May, 1807, more than six months before the issuing of the orders in council, the American ship Horizon was wrecked, by a storm on the coast of France near Morlaix, and the property, which was acknowledged to be bona fide American, was immediately seized and sequestered by the officers of the French government, on the ground that part of it was known to have come from the English manufactories or territory, and consequently liable to confiscation under the 5th article of the Berlin decree. After a variety of proceedings before subordinate tribunals, during which the property was held in sequestration, the subject was brought before the imperial council of prizes, at Paris, on the 16th of Oct. 1807, one month before the issuing of the British orders in council; and after discussing the defence set up by captain McClure, the American owner of the property, in which he argues that a confiscation would be contrary to the provisions of the treaty of 1800, and to the explanation of the Berlin decree, as given to Mr. Armstrong, by the minister of marine, in December, 1806, the council of prizes formally decreed, that
"The application of the 5th article of the before mentioned decree [the Berlin decree] to the Americans as to other people, results from the general terms of the article, and from the communication recently made by his excellency, the chief justice [le grand juge] relative to the ORIGINAL INTENTION of the sovereign."
Observe this. We have here an official and judicial declaration that the ORIGINAL INTENTION of the sovereign was, that the decree should apply to the Americans as to other people; and the council appeal to a recent communication from the chief justice to prove this original intention. Now let us see what that communication was, and whether the council of prizes gave it a fair construction. It is here inserted in its official form; and let it be remarked that it is dated more than two months before the British orders in council could possibly be known in Paris.
"Extract of a letter from the Grand Juge, minister of justice, to the Imperial Attorney General for the council of prizes."
(TRANSLATION) "PARIS, Sept. 18, 1807."
"SIR, "I have submitted to his majesty the emperor and king the doubts raised by his excellency the minister of marine and colonies, on the extent of certain dispositions of the imperial decree of the 21st Nov. 1806, which has declared the British isles in a state of blockade."
"The following are his majesty's intentions on the points in question:
"1. May vessels of war by virtue of the imperial decree of 21st Nov. last, seize, on board neutral vessels, either English property, or even all merchandise proceeding from the English manufactories or territory?
"Answer.—His majesty has intimated that as he did not think proper to express any exception in his decree, there is no ground for making any in its execution in relation to any whomsoever ( à l'égard de qui que ce soit ). His majesty has postponed a decision on the question whether armed French vessels, ought to capture neutral vessels bound to or from England, even when they have no English merchandise on board."
(Signed) "REGNIER."
Here, then, we have the declaration of the emperor himself, as to his original intention; and he is induced to treat the inquirer quite cavalierly for supposing it necessary to ask such a question; inasmuch as his majesty "did not think proper to express any exception in his decree, there is no ground for making any in its execution in relation to any whomsoever." Yet our administration have the boldness to say, in their official paper, that Bonaparte did not originally intend to execute this decree against us, and that he could not execute it, before the issuing of the British orders, because it would be risking a war with us; though this very letter of Regnier was officially communicated to congress by the President himself. "There is no ground," says the Emperor, for making any exception in the execution of the decree—and we urged in this Gazette, from the beginning, that there was no ground for expecting any such exception, notwithstanding
the letter of general Armstrong, in which he says "je pense." "I suppose that the decree is not intended to infringe any of the stipulations of the convention of 1800;" at the same time frankly acknowledging that he knew nothing of the matter; and that if our minister wished for authentic information upon the subject, the prince of Benevento (Talleyrand) could give him full satisfaction. No application was ever made by our minister to this source of official information, or any remonstrance against this atrocious violation of our treaty and our rights. The answer of the minister of marine, the "je pense," was communicated by our president to congress, as a sovereign balm for the wound which had been thus wantonly inflicted upon our national honor; and there the thing rested.
Let us now return to the imperial council of prizes in the case of the Horizon. After establishing the fact, as we have seen, that the original intention of the emperor was, to make no exception to his decree in favor of the U. S. they proceeded to pronounce sentence upon the cargo of the Horizon in the following words:
"With respect to the merchandise or the cargo which, from the result of the examination, shall be known to have come from the English manufactories or territory those [the council of prizes] has confiscated for the profit of the state, by virtue of the 5th article of the decree of the 21st Nov. 1806, the whole to be sold," &c.
"Done at the imperial council of prizes, sitting at Paris this 16th of Oct. 1807."
(Signed) "BERLIER, "President la Coste Reporter."
This single decision puts the whole question at rest; for it is not to be considered as a decision upon the merits of the individual case of the Horizon simply: it is settling the principle which is to govern all other cases of a like nature. It is a declaration by the highest authority of the government, not merely that so much American property on board the Horizon as had been purchased in England, was good prize; but that all American property in France, whether captured on the ocean by the cruisers of France, seized in her ports, or wrecked on her coast, if it had ever been purchased from Great Britain or any of her possessions, was, upon the same principle good prize, and to be "confiscated for the profit of the state," in whatever way it may have been introduced into France, whether voluntarily or by an inevitable act of God. It also decides the point, not that such property had, at the time of pronouncing the sentence, become liable to seizure and confiscation, but that it had been so from the moment of issuing the Berlin decree. It decides that the seizure which was made on the first of June, more than half a year before the existence of the British orders, was a lawful seizure, and that the property from the moment that it touched the French territory, became vested in the state by virtue of the Berlin decree. If any possible case could have formed an exception to the application of the rule, it would have been the very one of the Horizon, which was forced into France by stress of weather.
On the 18th September, more than two months before the British orders in council could be known at Paris, we find an official letter from the minister of the interior to Mr. Faussat, merchant at Bordeaux, in answer to a letter written in his own name and that of other merchants of Bordeaux, the object of which was to obtain the admission of the American ship George Washington which had been taken into Plymouth by an English ship of war. The minister says:
"Different reclamations of that nature having been submitted to the emperor [no new thing therefore] his majesty, confirming the dispositions of his decree of the 21st November, 1806, has recently prescribed its strict execution. It is impossible for me to grant your request, I therefore remit to you the piece, which was annexed to it—inviting you to communicate my answer to the merchants who, with you, had signed the memorial."
"I salute you, (Signed) "CRETET."
Again: on the 24th of September, at least two months before any knowledge of the British orders in council could be had in Paris, an official correspondence took place respecting the Berlin decree, between our minister general Armstrong, and Champagny the French minister of foreign relations, in which general Armstrong enquires "particularly whether it be his majesty's intention in any degree to infract the obligations of the treaty now subsisting between the U. States and the French empire."
The minister of foreign relations replies in the following words.
"The provisions of all the regulations and treaties relative to a state of blockade have
appeared applicable to the existing circumstances, and it results from the explanation which have been addressed to me by imperial procureur general of the council of prizes, that his majesty has considered every neutral vessel going from English ports with cargoes of English merchandise, of English origin, as lawfully seizable by French armed vessels."
"The decree of blockade has been issued eleven months. The principal powers of Europe, far from protesting against its provisions, have adopted them. They have perceived that the execution must be complete to render it more effectual; and has seemed easy to reconcile these measures with the observance of all treaties, especially at a time when the infractions by England the rights of all maritime powers, render the interest common, and tend to unite them support of the same cause."
"Accept, &c."
(Signed) "CHAMPAGNY." "Has Excellency general Armstrong, Minister Plenipotentiary United States."
Take notice, that all this was official said to our minister in France, about six months before the French government could be apprised of the English order in council, & was subsequently communicated to congress by the president. Still the administration have the assurance to reiterate the language of the French government by saying that this outrage was occasioned by the "infractions by England of the rights of a maritime powers;" and by imposing upon the people of this country a belief that these infractions consist in the British orders in council, which were not issued for a considerable time afterwards.
Such was the conduct of the French government towards this country, previous to the issuing of the British orders. Numerous other instances might be mentioned of American vessels seized in France before the British orders were issued, and held in sequestration to this day: and every merchant knows what a sequestration in France amounts to. If there had not been, therefore, a formal decision of condemnation, still the very seizure and sequestration of so much property was outrage sufficient, and ought to have prompted our government to make immediate and rigorous efforts for obtaining redress.
Let us now see what was the conduct of the vassal nations of France—Immediately after the promulgation of the Berlin decree, the king of Holland, as he is called, and the king of Prussia, issued similar decrees. In the month of Feb. 1808, eight months before the English government published their orders in council, the king of Spain, a mere tool of France, published a decree similar to that of Berlin, which he concludes in the following remarkable words:
"Finally, his majesty, conformable to the ideas of his ally, the emperor of the French, declares in his states the same law as his imperial majesty, on principles of reciprocity and propriety, has promulgated under date of the 21st of Nov. 1806."
Under the decree which expressly professes to be conformable to the ideas of the emperor of the French, very numerous seizures and confiscations of American vessels immediately took place in various ports of Spain. As early as July 1807, four months before the existence of the British orders in council, the Sea Nymph, as has already been mentioned by an able writer in this Gazette, was condemned at Porto Cavello. Her cargo was assorted: the British manufactures were separated from the rest and confiscated under the Berlin decree, without any other cause being assigned.
Thus it appears from official documents in the possession of our government, that we for twelve months passively acquiesced in the existence of the Berlin decree, before the issuing of the British orders: and that during at least half that time, seizures and confiscations of American property were continually taking place in the ports of France and the countries under the control of Bonaparte. With what face then could our president declare in his message at the opening of the last session of congress, that, with all other nations of Europe except England, "our harmony has been uninterrupted, and commerce and friendly intercourse have been maintained on their usual footing?"
All this proves incontestably, that there is in our government a mysterious, and alarming partiality for France, which induces them, as far as lies in their power, to persuade the people that they have experienced from that quarter nothing but "friendship and liberality;" while they attempted to trace all our sufferings, and embarrassments, and national disgraces to Great Britain; whereas the government of Great Britain frankly declared to our minister soon after the publication of the Berlin decree, that

should our government, contrary to their expectation, acquiesce in the execution of that decree, Great Britain would be obliged to adopt retaliating measures in her own defence. We waited one whole year and found that we did acquiesce in the execution of it, without so much as attempting to resist it; and then issued her retaliating orders.
So far is it from being true, therefore, that those orders were the vivifying principle which gave life and vigor to the Berlin decree, that the acquiescence of neutrals in the execution of that decree against them was expressly assigned in the preamble, as the cause of issuing the orders. In their very nature, as well as in the language, they appear to be simply a retaliating measure, diametrically opposed to the decree. The plain English of the decree is, addressing itself to America: "You shall not in future be permitted to sell your property in France or her dependencies or to bring it into the territory under any circumstances whatever, unless you at the same time prove that you never bought it of England or of any of her colonies, upon pain of confiscation. Though the property may be bona fide yours now, if it ever belonged to a man owing allegiance to the British government, it is contaminated, and I will seize and confiscate it for my own proper use and behalf, wherever I can lay my hands on it, treaties and laws of nations to the contrary notwithstanding."
Such was virtually the language of the decree, and the emperor immediately proceeded to carry this outrageous threat into execution. After submitting to this species of commercial warfare for twelve months, England issues her orders in council, which are in substance addressed to her enemy, and not like the decrees to a friendly neutral. They say to France: "Well, as you were really in earnest in what we at first supposed to be mere gasconading, as you will not suffer the Americans to trade with you in articles purchased from us or our colonies, and as they quietly submit to your assumed power of regulating their commerce, we will not allow you to receive the productions of your own colonies or of the countries in subjection to you." This is actually the whole substance and amount of the orders in council about which such a noise has been made, and which Bonaparte has said was a declaration of war against us, while his partisans tell us that his conduct towards us has been marked by nothing but "liberality & friendship."
The conclusion of the whole matter is, that the French decree of Berlin, executed against us for twelve months without opposition, occasioned the orders in council, which led to further acts of aggression on the part of France, and ended in the same surrender of all our rights upon the ocean; rights which we might to this day have enjoyed with honor and profit to ourselves, had a firm and manly opposition been made by our government to that insulting outrage, by which Bonaparte took upon himself to regulate our commerce for us, by insolently declaring with whom, and in what manner we might be permitted to carry it on.

TUESDAY, JULY 26.
Our city has been honored for a few days past with the presence of a CHINESE Mandarin and Merchant, with his secretary. His object in visiting this place is to obtain an exemption from the restrictions of the embargo, so as to be permitted to charter a vessel for China, to carry back his property, collected in this country to the amount of forty or fifty thousand dollars. There are, we hear, various circumstances of a very peculiar nature connected with this request. One of these, as characteristic of national modes of thinking, is worth stating. The Mandarin's father being ninety years old, his death may be daily looked for. According to the usages of the disciples of Confucius of which he is one, his remains, in case of his death, cannot be interred, in the absence of his son, in less than 7 days. This necessarily renders his son vexatious to return.
Their physiognomy, dress and manners are very peculiar and interesting. Their dress and external characters correspond exactly with the representations of the statuary and painter; the leading characteristics of their countenance and manners are gravity, benevolence and mildness.

Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman, residing in Claiborne County, Mississippi Territory, to his friend in Madison County Virginia. "The circumstance of a very respectable mercantile house of this territory, having un-
dertaken, and actually commenced, building some large craft at Port Gibson has excited considerable speculation. One of those boats is inconsiderable forwardness, and appears to me to be calculated for navigating the coast of America. She is to be decked, has sixty feet keel and about eight feet hold, with about fifteen feet beam, is built very sharp and appears well calculated to sail last. There are a number of hands employed in the building of this vessel, and I was informed that as soon as this one is timbered another is to be laid on the stocks. How many are to be built I know not—for what use I cannot pretend to say. They appear to me, not calculated for the navigation of the Mississippi. The master builder has promised the gentlemen and ladies of Port Gibson, a ball in the cabin as soon as the vessel is finished, and Mississippi barges have not generally ball rooms in their cabins, you know."
Extract of a letter from Trinidad, dated June 27th to a gentleman in N. York.
Two revolutions have taken place in Spain, since the 15th of March. One preceded the abdication of the old king in favor of the prince of Asturias—The other, the resignation of the prince in favor of his father, and as they could not agree among themselves, they went to Bayonne to submit their differences to the decision of Bonaparte, who has laid violent hands on the whole family, including the Prince of Peace, and several of the grandees, and keeps them all prisoners. He has made the king appoint Murat lieutenant general of the kingdom. Murat is in Madrid with 54,000 men, they say; but I don't believe he has 30,000. The provinces have revolted against their authority, and against the authority of Charles, proclaimed Ferdinand VII. lawful king, and called on all faithful Spaniards to take arms in defence of their religion and their country. The supreme council of government is at Seville, and in Andalusia alone 150,000 men are in arms. It would appear they rise in mass, and massacre all who do not wear the cockade, which the council has ordered every man to wear. We are before now I suppose in possession of Cadiz, and the Spanish navy, which the council have agreed to deliver up in trust to admiral Purvis and gen. Spencer, whose expedition, it now appears, was sent out to favor the king's emigration to Mexico, six French ships of the line are also in the inner harbor; but they are completely in jeopardy—not a man dare go on shore, and admiral Purvis is in their rear with 14 ships. The populace of Cadiz tore old Soland the governor to pieces, on suspicion of his being in the French interest. The French merchants are all on board the French ships, and the only means of saving their lives is to surrender themselves to Purvis, for if they landed, they would be hunted like wild beasts by the people—Such was the state of Spain on the 6th of June.
MR. SNOWDEN, As the following, from the Aurora, contains useful information for our agricultural brethren, please to give it a place in your useful paper, and oblige Z. July 25.
On the cultivation of Turneps. Memorandum—1803, August 17—Sowed turneps among Indian corn after the last ploughing, and harrowed the seed in—ground good—the season remarkably dry, the turneps exceeded in quantity and size any seen in the neighborhood—we had them fit for use by the 10th September. I had burnt the dry grass on the ground early in the spring, and perhaps the ashes was of great use, there was about two bushels of plaster sown on the corn broadcast per acre, previous to the turneps being sowed.
I found afterwards that the slightest dressing of the ground with ashes, had a most powerful effect, and that harrowing the turneps was of great use to them. Since the above experiment, I have seen a middling crop raised among Indian corn, on a light soil, without the application of plaster, except the small quantity usually put on the hills of the corn shortly after it come up.
I send you these notes, in consequence of seeing Mr. M. Mahon's excellent observations on turneps—in hopes some of my old neighbors, as well as farmers in general, may supply themselves with so valuable a root, in any quantity they wish, for the trifling expense of the seed and one bushel gypsum per acre—the ground being already prepared by dressing their Indian corn, requires no additional trouble; and experience has shewn that the farmer is well repaid for the plaster used in broadcast over the corn.
From the New-York Evening Post THE great mass of events which characterize every day's existence, never discover to us their secret, operative principles—they constitute the bare outlines and shadow of human action. The revolutions which have for so many centuries agitated the greatest part
of the civilized world, have hitherto had little or no effect upon the political relations of the United States; what will be the effect of that influence which they are now destined to have on this quarter of the globe, the spirit of prophecy itself will never be able to determine.
We need, however, no Utopian speculations on our relations to persuade the American people that they are in danger from the exorbitant ambition of France. It is one maxim of political economy, a maxim, which the dignity of every government has partially engendered, that no actual sacrifices or precautions should be made for any supposed hostility which any other government may meditate. But at the present crisis when so many actual innovations have been made upon our independence in the very face of the community, and when the representatives of the nation have made so many solemn appeals to the magistrates of the people; it would be a still greater want of national dignity not to believe that they are meant to sound and appal us in our security. It was originally a caprice which cherished the idea of an eternal enmity with France; but it must be a frenzied madness which cannot believe that the lurking hostility of this nation has already had recourse to an open violation of the laws of nations. We are threatened with a war, we know not from whom, is the indignant but inspired language of both parties. If then, we are forced into a war, where is our navy to annoy and retaliate, or where even are our fortifications to prevent us from insult and retaliation? What infatuation is it which in one breath declares we shall have war, and in the next, that we shall make no effort to shield ourselves from aggression? Such a caprice, may well be termed an idolatrous caprice; a caprice, to which the gentlemen, of the present administration have endeavored to prostrate all our dearest and most sacred immunities. The national energy will call forth so new and unexampled measures; the public tranquillity itself which has too long been absorbed in political faction, will demand some new and decisive measures to restore it to its equilibrium. It is the calamity of a great nation which now calls for the decisive tone of public spirit; a nation on whose political life or death depends the existence of empires to come; a way, which constitutes one great pillar of support to the very civilization of the world. Great Britain alone of the European nations, has been enabled to withstand the shock and to remain formidable amid these violent commotions. The resources of Great Britain, seem chiefly to be derived from her insular situation, her tranquillity within, and her vast external relations, which have grown up and multiplied with her national improvement, have long formed the barrier of her security and protection. The solid fabric of Russian greatness has already been made to tremble—many antient kingdoms and states have been annihilated in rapid succession; the gigantic power of French despotism will at one pause of its career strike amazement and dismay through the American mind. We have now sunk into a senseless apathy when the very spirit of freedom could reanimate these sacred attributes of our souls which would bind us in an eternal union to our own welfare.
I suspect that a great part of that vast mass of corruption which is prevalent in the country, and which may be said already to have almost overflowed the ordinary measure of national corruption, may be ascribed to the influences of French philosophy and French politics. The nations of this earth will ever have reason to deprecate that awful preponderance in their political relations which the policy of that nation has almost already effected.
Notwithstanding the United States of America is an enlightened nation, notwithstanding peace, happiness and tranquillity reign within; yet her national freedom and independence may soon be swallowed up in that same vast vortex of ambition which has already swallowed up the political relations of all the continental powers in Europe.
The energy of our government is something like what the energy of the Batavian republic was before the year 1800; yet that enlightened and virtuous republic has fallen long before the military despotism and house of Bourbon and Braganza.
