Reflections on POLITICAL ECONOMY, and the PROSPECT BEFORE US.
Addressed to the CITIZENS of the Western Country.
No. VI.
Markets relative to the Farmer and Merchant.
1st. Market relative to the Farmer.
IT is impossible that there could have been a more fatal necessity, in the affairs of a young people, than that which compelled our farmers to be the exporters of their own produce. The necessity, however, was somewhat imperious, and grew out of a local situation, which differed from that of any other country perhaps in the world. The merchants were neither able to export anything but money, or the farmer willing to manufacture for himself to keep it in the country. By this means, whilst the merchant was engaged in sending the circulating medium out by the way of Pittsburgh, the farmer, to keep up a balance of the increasing delinquency, began to be the exporter and almost always suffered in the feeble efforts he made.
The effect might have been foreseen. 1st. Because the distance to market required so much time, that it took from his farm that labour which was necessary to keep it in constant & productive operation: 2ndly. Because the difficulties of navigating such rivers as the Ohio and Mississippi, subjected him sometimes to losses of his whole cargo, ruinous delays that are destructive to health and injurious to credit: 3rdly. Because from his habits he cannot be so well acquainted with the state of foreign markets and the ordinary principles of commercial transactions, as to guard against ruinous fluctuations and the impositions of speculators; & to seize upon all those favorable moments for going to market, that may enable him to make the best use of the chances of trade. A policy, therefore, which will forever be productive of such effects as the foregoing, ought to be guarded against. Let him reflect upon the great importance of confining his sole attention to the farm; because here nature has given to him the means of being useful to the community, which must be the case, provided he is truly useful to himself.
But let it be further considered, that the farmer, who trades down the river, a distance of 1200 miles from home, is less calculated than the stationary merchant to escape imposition. Between the merchant of the western states and those at a foreign market, there is a kind of reciprocal dependence, a something that in general excites each body to the performance of their mutual obligations with each other, that does not exist between the farmer and foreign merchant. The farmer is not known to them as belonging to the same class of citizens. He is considered merely as a transient trader, who may perhaps never have any further transactions at market. He is discovered to be ignorant of the customary modes of trading; and all these circumstances will be taken into the calculation to make him a victim to speculation. The consequence will frequently be, that he will make much worse sales at market than the merchant, whose knowledge of business, and whose habits of trading, will enable him to detect any attempts to defraud him. Suppose, in the mean time, the produce which the farmer takes to market should be of a perishable kind; that he has creditors behind him waiting with anxiety for his return, and whose countenance he cannot meet with composure, when he is compelled to return with no money, or at best with half price; suppose he is overtaken by the sickly season, and afterwards compelled to languish in a strange country, or return by the route of the wilderness, exposed to the fatigues of the journey, the want of common comforts, and the danger of robbery or assassination—let these things be taken into calculation, for they have all occurred; and he will perceive how unnatural and how little worth pursuing a mode of commerce is, which must subject him to such a variety of real dangers and embarrassments.
All these inconveniencies are to be avoided by a different policy. He has nothing more to do, than to make it worth the attention of the exporting merchant to take the burthen off his hands. The merchant possesses a capital credit attached to his profession, which shall enable him to elude difficulties that may occur from the fluctuations of the trade; a degree of information that guards him against imposition, and that necessary ingenuity and activity, derived from his habits, which make him the only valuable agent in pushing our natural advantages into effective operation.
I do not conceive that my objections to this unnatural mode of trading, are removed by the custom of going to market in companies. It is true when several farmers unite their flock and a number of their hands together, that a larger portion of produce with less relative force is conducted to market; but this the force is all. When they are actually on the
voyage, they can afford the same assistance in case of accident, that several wagons travelling in company do to each other. But the mode of returning must be changed. To conduct their empty flat-bottom boats up a strong current of 1200 miles, would keep them too long in a climate to which they were not accustomed, and from their families, and in a business that no one can relish with tolerable satisfaction. Their superior numbers would not prevent them from being imposed on by the speculator. They must return by the route of the wilderness, and generally be exposed to all the dangers which I have enumerated.
The private exporter, is moreover subjected to another inconvenience, which will extend to almost the whole of the farming class of citizens. It is well known, that even in the best regulated markets, that there are fluctuations which arise from a thousand circumstances that can neither be foreseen, or at all times guarded against. There is only one reason that the farmer can afford to leave his concerns at home to make a voyage, and this does not always happen when the market is the most valuable. What is the effect? If he sells he gets but half price—if he waits the rise of his property, his family and his farm, perhaps suffer derangement, in consequence of his long absence. If he stores it up, it is probably consumed in the mals, by the decay of nature; and the profit of the adventure lost by ware-house expenses, and perquisites that are extorted from him either by unprincipled speculators, or rapacious agents. To make a market really valuable, and to prevent its uncertainty from proving ruinous to the trader, his correspondents ought to be numerous and enlightened. He should seize upon the temper of the times; be acquainted with the resources to give it an impulse, the genius of commerce; the mode in which it is carried on; the extent of the relative capital in operation, and those political incidents, that in their effect, give rise or declension in the price of particular commodities. He should possess a capital that will enable him to wait the issue of events, and to counteract the effects of changes and uncertainties in the trading world. His credit and his standing in the commerce, should be known to be respectable, and his habits of integrity such as to give him weight in the estimation of all with whom he negotiates. These advantages can only be acquired and carried into effect by the mercantile class of citizens.—however respectable our farming class may be in the private occupations of their farms at home, yet their habits are not calculated to embrace a similar degree of influence. Without it, nothing valuable can be effected, in giving that true direction to our natural capital which it ought to assume.
ARISTIDES.
Mr. Bradford,
A PIECE appeared in your last paper, the author of which calls himself A Farmer. The professed object of that essay is, to controvert the idea of scientific qualifications being necessary to direct the practice of physic. The occupation of the writer affords some apology for the absurdities which characterize his publication, as it cannot be supposed that a farmer, attending to the business of his profession, and who is ignorant of medicine, can have any conception of the knowledge necessarily connected with the application of remedies for curing diseases. As a proof that my first position is true, we are told by the prolix defender of quackery, that an examination is confessedly the most insignificant, and the least satisfactory of all proofs in practical subjects; from which we are to understand, that the Farmer is a believer in necromancy or conjuration, and finds no difficulty in crediting those Doctors who profess to have a full view of every fibre of the whole system in a phial of animal water, which enables him to ascertain with precision, the nature, cause, seat and cure of a disease, which cannot be communicated by language to another. It is universally acknowledged that the only use of language in society, is to communicate the ideas of one person to another, and it is only in this way that we are profited by conversation, or writing. If, however, it is true, that a man can practice medicine on false principles without ideas, it is a necessary and just inference that an examination is useless, and that ignorance for the first time is equally as useful and meritorious, as the most profound knowledge. It is necessary that this paradoxical kind of equality should be established before the Farmer can expect his defence of ignorance in the practice of medicine, and consequent man-slaughter, will be considered of sufficient weight with our legislature, to sanction the destroying work of quack, in preference to the examination work, by which his mighty men of ignorance, (or otherwise pretenders) will cease killing people in saving their lives.

the necessary parts of knowledge connected with the profession; or betake himself to that kind of business for which he is qualified.
It is urged with a great degree of warmth, that the establishment of a medical faculty, and consequently making certain requisitions of every practitioner, will extinguish competition. He who is a friend to the human family, cannot take pleasure in a contest between knowledge and ignorance in the profession of medicine, which is indeed a contest between life and death.
The establishment will give just dignity and respectability to the profession. The epithet Doctor, will no longer be a term of reproach, as it will cease to apply indiscriminately to the practitioner of talents, and the mere pretender. The student destined for the profession, will feel himself compelled by imperious necessity, to prosecute with the utmost assiduity, the study of Anatomy, Physiology, the laws of organic life, Pathology, Materia Medica, and Chemistry, as being the only way by which he can secure to himself promotion, and avert disgrace—the requisitions of the establishment will operate as a constant memento to him of the qualification of a Doctor. The practitioner, whose applications are directed by a knowledge of the above-mentioned subjects, may be likened to a saving angel whose office it is to disarm the power of disease, and set the agonizing captive free. But on the other hand, the smatterer, destitute of their friendly aid, instead of administering relief, adds to the bitter cup of affliction, and puts the patient beyond the possibility of recovery. Could the tombs of the unfortunate thousands who have been driven from time and sense by this species of murder, be consulted, we should have clouds of witnesses to substantiate the fact. That this is not the painting of a deluded imagination is rendered evident, by the destructive effects that ever have, and must forever flow from ignorance prevailing over knowledge, or when it is substituted in its place.
The Farmer, to give plausibility to his objections to the establishment of a medical faculty, has asserted that the corporation can only operate in favor of the board. This shows some of the quibbles of a lawyer, but not the sincerity and sound judgment of a good one—Inasmuch as it will promote the cultivation of science, and produce its application in directing the healing art, which of all others is the most important to society, when conducted on the surest principles of success, its benefits are reciprocal; and hence I infer the incorrectness of the Farmer's assertion.
An appeal has been made to Smith's Wealth of Nations—It lies on the Farmer first to prove that the destruction of population, the unavoidable consequence of ignorance in the practice of medicine, enhances the wealth of nations, before his construction of Smith's observations will apply to the perpetuation of quackery.
The reprobation and contempt of every good man ought certainly to fall on pedantic smatterers in science, who give obscure hints, and make declamations about the arcana of nature, as well as those who by assuming demure faces and affected appearances of sagacity, impose themselves on the world for men of condition and professional abilities. To reflect this object in which the Farmer, and myself perfectly concur, I trust that the examination work will be established, as being the only measure by which it can be effected.
A CITIZEN.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
House of Lords—Aug. 12.
At half after 3 o'clock, his Majesty having taken his seat on the throne, the gentleman Usher of the Black rod was desired to require the attendance of the Speaker of the House of Commons. The Speaker attended accordingly, and read the following address:
Most Gracious Sovereign,
Your Majesty's most dutiful & loyal subjects, the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled, have at length completed the supplies granted to your Majesty for the present year—a period memorable for the events which it has produced, and awful for those which may be yet to come.
In granting those supplies, your Majesty's faithful Commons have considered that a crisis without example demanded unexampled efforts—and by resolving to raise annually a large proportion of the supplies for the current year, so long as the war endures, they have given to all the world a solemn pledge of their inexhaustible determination to render the public credit unassailable.
They have also proceeded to revise the system of your Majesty's permanent revenue. By consolidating the duties in each of its principal branches, they have simplified its operations, and at the same time they have endeavored to render its pressure less burthensome by regulating its mode of collection.
The commercial interests of this country, to which our attention
has been called by your Majesty's gracious commands at the commencement of the present Session, have been maturely considered; and measures have been taken for affording material accommodations and facilities to mercantile transactions, by rendering our principle ports free for all nations to import, deposit, and re-export their merchandise, without toll or tax, unless voluntarily brought into our own market for home consumption.
Nor have we forgotten to bestow our earnest and serious thoughts upon the state and efficacy of our Church establishment, in every part of the United Kingdom.—Upon this subject, as comprehending all that consecrates our rational hopes, morals, and policy; we have deliberated with peculiar care and anxiety; and we presume to believe, that the important laws which have been made to aid our Church establishment, will materially strengthen and gradually extend its influence thro' succeeding ages.
But Sire, these were cares and objects belonging to the times of peace. Wise, politic, and desirable as they might be, nevertheless, called upon now by your Majesty's commands, we have without hesitation, turned all our thro's and efforts to meet the renewal of War, persuaded that your Majesty's paternal care extended to us the blessings of peace, so long as they could be retained with safety and honor, and confident that since they have been openly attacked, and the justice of our cause has been made manifest to the world, our appeal to arms will not be in vain.
This war we see and know to be a war of no ordinary character.—We feel that our religion, laws and liberties, and existence as a nation are put to the issue, and we have prepared for the contest accordingly.—Besides the supplies of money, we have augmented beyond all former example, every species of Military Force, known in this country.—We have met Rebellion with prompt and necessary laws; and for the defence of a Sovereign endeared to us by long experience of his Royal Virtues, & commanding not allegiance alone, but our hearts and affections, the whole nation has risen in arms.
May then the God of our Fathers go forth with us to battle, and bless our cause, and establish with victory that throne which we revere as the bulwark of our liberties; and so shall other nations at length learn, that a free, valiant and united people is unconquerable, and able to let lasting bounds to an empire of violence, perfidy, and unrelenting ambition.
To the Bills which we now humbly present to your Majesty, your Commons, with all humility, entreat your Majesty's Royal Assent.
His Majesty then, in a firm and audible tone, addressed the following speech to the Lords and Commons assembled.
My Lords and Gentlemen, I am at length enabled, by the state of public business, to release you from your long and laborious attendance in Parliament.
In closing the session, I have the utmost satisfaction in expressing the strong sense which I entertain of that zealous and unwearied regard for the welfare and honor of your country, which has distinguished all your proceedings.
During the continuance of peace, your conduct manifested the just view which you had taken of our actual situation, and of the dangers against which you were peculiarly called upon to provide; and since the recurrence of hostilities, you have displayed an energy & promptitude which have never been surpassed, in the means which you have supplied for the defence of the country, and for the vigorous prosecution of the war.
Your proceedings, in consequence of the late treasonable and atrocious occurrences in Ireland, will, I trust, have the effect of preventing any further interruption of its internal tranquility, and of convincing my loyal subjects in that part of the United Kingdom, that they may confidently rely on that protection to which they are so justly entitled.
In the midst of the deliberations, which were occasioned by the immediate exigency of the times, you have not been unmindful of other objects, to which I had directed your attention; and I have great satisfaction in observing, that you have completed a system for consolidating the duties, and regulating the collection and management of the several branches of the revenue; and that you have adopted measures which are calculated to afford material accommodation to the mercan-
tile part of the community, and to encourage and extend the navigation and commerce of my dominions.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons, I return you my particular thanks for the liberality and readiness with which you have granted the supplies for the public service.
It is painful for me to reflect, that the means of necessary exertion cannot be provided without a heavy pressure upon my faithful people.—But I cannot sufficiently applaud that wisdom and fortitude which have led you to overlook considerations of temporary convenience, for the purpose of preventing a large accumulation of debt during the continuance of the war. You may be assured that there shall be as strict an attention to economy on my part as may be consistent with those preparations and exertions which will be best calculated to frustrate the designs and to weaken the power of the enemy, by whose arrogant pretensions and restless ambition alone, these sacrifices have been rendered unavoidable.
My Lords, & Gentlemen,
I am fully persuaded, that during the cessation of your parliamentary duties, you will continue to be actuated by the same spirit which has been uniformly displayed in your councils. It will be your duty to assist in carrying into effect, those important measures which your wisdom has matured for the defence & security of the Realm—and particularly to give the most beneficial direction to that ardour and enthusiasm in the cause of their country, which animates all classes of my people.
Justly sensible of the state of pre-eminence, in which it has pleased the Almighty to support us for so many ages, amongst the nations of Europe, I rely with confidence, that under the continuation of his Divine Protection, the exertions of my brave and loyal subjects will prove to the enemy and to the world, that an attempt to subvert the independence, or impair the power of this United Kingdom, will terminate in the disgrace and ruin of those by whom it may be made, and that my people will find an ample reward for all their sacrifices, in an undisturbed enjoyment of that freedom and security, which by their patriotism and valor, they will have preserved and ensured to themselves and their posterity.
Then the Lord Chancellor, by his Majesty's command, said—
My Lords, & Gentlemen,
It is His Majesty's Royal will and pleasure, that this Parliament be prorogued to Tuesday the 6th of October next, to be then & there holden; and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Tuesday the 6th day of October next.
LONDON, August 11.
Letters from Gibraltar mention, that a very hot and general press had taken place all over Spain, to raise an army of 80,000 men, with which it is said they are determined to oppose the entrance of the French troops into Spain, and that the Spaniards, at the same time, are dismantling all their ships as fast as possible.
August 16.
Cuxhaven is to be occupied by the French troops, and the port of Travemud, in the Baltic, which belongs to the city of Lubeck, is to have a French garrison. Our envoy remonstrated strongly against this measure, but without effect.
Spain is said to be arming 32 ships of war. All her Galleons were expected to arrive by the end of this month.
M. Talleyrand is gone to take the waters of Bourbon.

with soldiers, British officers, every thing British, and nothing but British. The accounts from Ireland yesterday and this morning are, we are to say, of a less consolatory nature, than they have been for some time past. Rumors of intended risings are circulated, and attempts continue to be made to assassinate the yeomanry centinel. Scarcely a night passes without some of them being fired at. Yet those cowardly assassins are the men who style themselves the friends of freedom and protectors of their country!
A part of the Cavan militia, in attempting to secure some rebels on Monday last, in the town of Dunboyne, were assisted by an assemblage of the town's people, and it became necessary for the troops to fire. Three were killed and 16 of the rebels were taken and brought into Dublin.
The North of Ireland continues to be very tranquil, and the Sovereign of Belfast has published a proclamation for taking off some of the restrictions he had found it expedient to impose. He confirms the opinion we have invariably expressed, that the rebels are connected with French emissaries.
Judge Dows is positively to succeed the late respected and lamented Lord Kilwarden, as Lord Chief Justice of the King's bench.
The accounts from Hanover of the 5th, state, that great part of the French troops will soon quit Hanover.
An encampment of 1500 men is to be formed near Limerick.
Preparations for an expedition to the North Seas are now making in several of our ports. Gun-boats are equipping at Sheerness which are to assemble in the Downs; and it is said they are to be commanded by Sir Home Popham, who will also have the superintendence of the embarkation of troops.
Government has ordered lines of defence to be drawn on the eastern side of London. Platforms are immediately to be constructed by a very considerable number of artificers, capable of mounting 108 pieces of cannon of 24 pounders, and 156 of 12 pounders. The lines and platforms will, it is supposed, be completed in the course of one month.
It is very confidently reported that generals Pichegru and Dumourier are to command different armies of French royalists, who, supported by British troops, are to land on the coasts of Brittany, where there are thousands that will join them; while a large British army makes a distinct attack in another quarter. Report adds that some of the royal family of France will be placed at the head of the French expedition, and that the war will be carried on in a manner and on principles very different from the last.
The Russian Ambassador, Count Markoff, has made pressing representations to the French government against the occupation of Naples, and, it is said, with success. General St. Cyr, the French ambassador, on his arrival at Naples, promised that the tranquility of the kingdom should not be disturbed provided that the royal family continued in their capital.
The latest private advices received at Vienna from Constantinople, mention, that on the deposition of the Mufti, the Grand Vizier was going to resign his office, but was prevailed upon by threats only to remain in administration. The Grand Vizier, when these accounts came away, had orders to march against the banditti in Romelia with a formidable force, of which 40,000 men were actually pushing forward to Adrianople, it is also said, that the Sanisack Bey had broke up from Constantinople with the bloody standard to encourage the Musselmans to join the expedition against the robbers.
The East-India Company have made a patriotic offer, which has been accepted by government. They are to furnish six ships, completely manned, for the service of the state.
Private letters from Paris communicate some particulars, which if true are important, viz. that it is the design of Bonaparte not only to invade Great Britain and Ireland, but to attack Malta and Gibraltar at the same time—and that a force of 120,000 men is now assembled in Languedoc, Provence and Italy, for carrying these schemes into effect.
Near Toulon and Marseilles are 28,000 men, of whom 1500 are horse-artillery, equipped for a foreign expedition. Bonaparte in his next tour, it is added, is to visit St. Maloes as well as Brest.
The report of a triple alliance of northern powers with France, which was stated early last week, upon the credit of Mercantile letters, is again repeated in an article from Frankford; but without any corresponding circumstance to support it.
From Hanover we learn, under date of the 2d inst. that the French intend to overwhelm that country with 8000 men more of their army of reserve. The troops who arrived there were generally ragged, and only sent to be equipped and fed at the expence of the States. Two columns of French troops, it is stated, are to pass through Munster, in Westphalia, to occupy the district of Göttingen.
DUBLIN, August 12. We continue perfectly quiet in town and country. In the latter the peasantry
are very busy in getting in their harvest. But though quiet as to acts, we are not without alarm; it seems a system which I hope will not at length cause us to illustrate the fable of the shepherd's boy. On Wednesday night all the guards were doubled, from an alarm of an insurrection in the city. This morning we heard there were 5000 rebels in arms in the county of Down—totally unfounded. Again, we are told to take place to night, which alarm, I am confident, will be found as false as the rest. Thus we experience no attack but from rumor, and the assaults us without intermission.
ALEXANDRIA, (Egypt) May 23.
PRIVATE LETTER. We profit of a boat sent by the Pacha to Rhodes, to communicate to you the advice received late last night, from the British Resident at Cairo, that Taher Pacha, the rebel chief, has been beheaded by the Janissaries. Mahomet Ally commands in the town, until the return of the town Viceroy, to whom the head of Taher Pacha has been sent. Thus will good order be re-established without the evils of a civil war, and we may expect to see trade take its natural course again. A new reformer, Abdel Wahet, has collected an immense number of followers, report says 3 or 400,000, and their numbers are daily increasing. He is completely master of the country all round Gedda, has stopped the Hagi Caravans from Damascus and Cairo, and, it is even said, has destroyed the tomb of the Prophet at Medina. His doctrines are in direct opposition to the Mahometan faith, and are, I am told moderate. He is marching towards Syria. The Mamelukes have advanced to Gaza, where they are now encamped; their views are not known. The Albanese had taken possession of Rosetta, but have been driven out. Here we are without fear. So far from Egypt. My next will give you a full account of the said Abdel Wahet, which I have extracted from a communication made respecting him by our Resident at Bagdad, to the Ottoman Porte.
NEW-YORK, September 27.
The English politicians still calculate on the friendship of Russia; while, if we may judge by the complexion of our Paris papers, the great northern power is disposed, at this moment, to question Great Britain's right to the dominion of the seas, and to assert the long contested claim of free ships making free goods—a question that involves in its decision the importance of the British navy.
The London Star of the 10th, mentions information from Italy, stating that the French were raising an army of 80,000 men in that country, which it was supposed was intended for the reconquest of Egypt.
Government, says the Star, has it in contemplation to oblige every foreigner to leave his name, address and occupation at the alien office.
September 28.
The occupation of Hanover by the French, and the blockade of the Elbe by the British, appears to have reduced the continental powers; armies and fleets begin to be prepared with all expedition, and Sweden, Denmark, Russia, and Austria, exhibit appearances extremely incompatible with permanent neutrality. On this subject a Liverpool paper observes:—"The interesting question will now scarcely admit of a doubt whether the Emperor of Russia takes the part of France or Great Britain, since we are assured from undoubted authority, that letters have been received by our merchants here, stating that the Trinity House have given orders for pilots to proceed to the Sound to navigate the Russian fleet into British harbor."
Mr. Monroe, our minister to the court of Great Britain, was introduced to the King at the levee on the 17th of August, and delivered his letters of credence. It is stated in a Paris paper that Prince Borghese is to marry the widow of General Le Clerc, sister to the first consul.
Marquis Cornwallis is to set out immediately for Ireland. His Lordship will be invested with a supreme and separate military command, totally independent of the lords lieutenants and the civil power. The sentences of courts martial, and every thing connected with the military department, will be exclusively under his lordship's authority and control.
By a letter from Dover, it appears that an attack has been made by some of our vessels on the enemy's armament at Bolougne, and it is generally believed that a large proportion of their boats have been burnt for sea.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30.
Capt. Weston, who arrived a few days since at New-York from St. Domingo, informs, that great emigration had taken place from St. Domingo, and the different ports of St. Domingo—upwards of 15,000 had already sought a refuge there. The unfortunate inhabitants, hemmed in by the British at sea, and every moment expecting to be massacred by the blacks, were seeking every opportunity of escape.

LEXINGTON, OCTOBER 18.
A sufficient number of Subscribers to Mr. Magruder's Reflections on the late secession of Louisiana to the United States, to insure the publication of that work being obtained, it will be put to press immediately. Gentlemen holding subscription papers will please to return them by the 15th of November next.
PHILO MEDICUS is delayed until next week for want of room.
AS I am now making arrangements for publishing A History of the Indian Wars in the Western Country of North America, from the commencement of Hostilities against the United States, to the Treaty of Greenville, I will thank such persons as are acquainted with relative facts, to communicate them to me, as soon as possible. Such printers of news papers in the United States as are friendly disposed to the undertaking, will be so good as to insert the above.
ALLAN B. MAGRUDER.
On the 23d August, Mr. Harding, an eminent printer and bookseller of Liverpool, possessed of 11,000l. in bank property, cut his throat, under hypochondriac terrors, as was asserted, of the threatened invasion of England.
The two Russian ships Nedelsda, (Hope) and Neva, which are to sail round the world, are ready to depart, and wait only for a good wind. Mr. Chamberlain Resanow, who goes on board them as Russian ambassador to Japan, has received from the emperor the grand cross of the order of St. Anne, of the first class. [Nat. Intell.]
Moreau is a great favorite with the people, yet a man who appears to know himself incapable to manage the turbulent dispositions that must be kept in subjection by the ruler of the Parisian empire. It is stated by men of the first intelligence, that he has no ambition to supplant Bonaparte, and that if he was supposed, and the first consul supposed his death necessary, much as he is esteemed, there would not be a single weapon drawn on the occasion.
Bonaparte is diversifying his preparations, and holding out menaces of attack on many different quarters; this is probably done with a view to perplex and embarrass the British and also by augmenting their expenses, to produce dissatisfaction among the people. [Morn. Chron.]
MESSINA, July 21.
Three American frigates with a cutter and transports have brought into this port the 15th inst. a Tripolitan prize, which they have joined with four other American vessels, who were in the port of Naples, with a view of returning to Tripoli, blocking up the barbarians, and forcing these pirates into their entrenchment.
LONDON, August 13.
Dispatches have been received at the Admiralty, which state the following important particulars respecting the firing heard at Dover off Boulogne. Six gun-boats came out of Boulogne harbour full of troops. They were attacked by the Sulphur bomb, who drove them back into the harbour with great slaughter. Some of the boats are said to be sunk. In the mean time other boats, full of troops, came out of the harbour, and attacked another of our vessels. They were also forced under the guns of the battery, with the loss of a great number of men. We consider this as an attempt ordered to be made by the French government, to ascertain whether the gun-boats could resist our ships of war of a small size. The specimen we have afforded them will not, we should think, dispose them to make another such trial.
LATEST FROM FRANCE.
By the brig Thetis from Bordeaux, arrived at New-York, accounts from that port as late as the 26th of August are received; but we have not any thing of importance. Preparations were going on with the customary activity. We learn, however, that the accounts contained in the London papers of dissensions among the people, of Moreau's increasing popularity, and of a disposition hostile to the First Consul on his part or their adherents are all utterly groundless. Bonaparte it is said, was never more popular than at the present moment. The people look up to him with a confidence bordering on adoration, as the man who is to establish the glory of France upon the ruins of her rival neighbor.
The Portuguese have at length gained an advantage by sea over the
Algerines.—The Vasee de Gama, a Portuguese ship of the line, cruising before Algiers, was attacked by a 40 gun frigate (which formerly belonged to the Portuguese) and three large Xebecs. The Algerines attacked with their usual fury and desperation, but the Portuguese capt. made a good defence, that after a fight of three hours, he sunk two of the Xebecs; and captured the third, in which he had the happiness to find 200 captives, whom he liberated; the frigate however, contrived to make her escape.

ODE. To General Kosciusko. BY PETER PINDAR.
O thou, whose wounds from Pity's eye Could force the stream, and bid her sigh, That god like valor bled in vain, Sigh'd that the land which gave them birth Should droop its sorrowing head to earth, And groaning curse the despot's chain!
Her beams around shall glory spread, Where'er thy star thy steps shall lead, And fame thy every deed repeat: Each heart in full 'ring Virtue' cause Shall swell amid the loud applause, And raptur'd catch a kindred heat.
In Fancy's eye, thy friend the Muse Thy bark from wave to wave pursues, With fondest will to join thy way, To view the shore where Freedom reigns (An exile long from British plains), And bleeds millions by her sway.
While thou, in Peace's purple vale, Fair Freedom, Fame, and Health shall hail, At ease reclin'd amid the shade--- Britannia's wail will wound thine ear; And, lo! I see thy gen'rous tear Embalms her laurels as they fade.
DIVERSITY.
A law-suit arose in an university, upon the point whether the doctors in law, or the doctors in medicine, should hold the precedence? The judge asked the counsel, whether it was usual for the chief or hangman to walk first at an execution? Being answered that the chief always walks first, "then" said the judge, let the doctors in law have the precedence; and let the doctors in medicine be next in rank."
THE SEDUCED DAUGHTER, A Fragment.
"I have lost my lamb," exclaimed the farmer, as he sat weeping on the stone.
"And was it all thou hadst?" "Alas!" answered he, "my flocks whiten the distant hills---but I shall no more lead them to the uplands in winter, nor drive them to the vale in summer. They will see their master no more. An- other's voice must call them to their pastures, and other hands must make their fold in the evening---for I have lost my lamb, and my strength fails me."
"Gentle stranger, if I breathe my last in your presence, suffer not my flesh to feed the ravens, but let the turf cover me---and may heaven, in its mercy shield the heart of my devoted child from know- ing, that her misfortune and disgrace has broken the heart of her father."
"It is then a daughter thou hast lost; it is a darling child whom thou seekst ---alas!"
"Alas indeed!" said the farmer, "the flower of the valley was not half so fair; nor the honey suckle so sweet, nor the dove more innocent than Matilda--- nor," continued he elevating his voice, "the wolf more savage than the mon- ster who carried her from me. But he is rich, these plains call him master, and I have nought but curses to help me--- My son died as he was fighting for his country, or the spoiler of innocence should have felt the vigor of his arm. He should have revenged a sister's wrongs; but I am weak, and can only call on Heaven to revenge. To its et- ernal justice I resign my cause; and should these be my last words---" And they were indeed, for his venerable form sunk down upon the stone---and I called the villagers to bear the corpse to the cottage.

BROWN AND WEST'S PATENT WOODEN STILLS
HAVE been in use for some time, in the vicinity of Lexington, and have re- ceived the most unequivocal approbation from more than two hundred Practical Distillers, whose certificates could be easily procured.
Any common carpenter or cooper can construct a distillery on this plan, in three or four days, and the cost of stills which will contain 500 gallons, will not exceed 100 dollars.
Spirit (of high proof and free from all disagreeable taste) is produced by one operation, which saves the expence and trouble of doubling.
These stills work more than three times as fast as the common stills and require a very small quantity of fuel.
Gentlemen, who are desirous of pur- chasing the Patent Right for states, coun- ties or single distilleries, will please to ap- ply to the Patentees in Lexington, Ken- tucky.
The price of Rights to individuals 50 dollars.
