TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
JUNE 24th, 1803.
Notice is hereby given,
THAT Proposals will be received at Vincennes, by the Governor of the Indiana Territory, until the 30th day of September next ensuing, for Leasing, for the term of Three Years, commencing on the 1st day of December 1803, the SALT SPRINGS near the Wabash, lately ceded by the Indians to the United States.
The following conditions will be required on the part of the United States. Viz.
I. No rent shall be demanded for the first year of the lease; but the lessees shall pay to the United States, one thousand bushels, equal to fifty thousand pounds merchantable salt, for the annual rent of each succeeding year: the salt to be delivered at the works, in such quantities, and at such time and times within the year, as shall be fixed by the terms of the lease.
II. The lessees shall establish, within the first year, kettles, for the purpose of making salt of the aggregate contents of at least eight thousand gallons; and they shall, within the second year, encrease the quantity to fifteen thousand gallons, and during the remainder of the lease, keep up and employ kettles of the said aggregate contents of fifteen thousand gallons: the kettles remaining on hand at the expiration of the lease, to be valued and paid for to the lessees, if the lease shall not be renewed.
III. The lessees shall be bound, annually, and each year after the end of the first year, to manufacture at least the quantity of salt which shall be agreed on by the terms of the lease; and to sell the whole quantity which, during the four years of their lease, they shall manufacture, at a price not greater than that fixed by the said terms: and in order to prevent any combination or evasion, the United States reserve to themselves the right of purchasing the whole at that price.
IV. For the purpose of assisting the lessees in the purchase of kettles, and erection of the works, the United States shall advance two thousand five hundred dollars; to be repaid at the end of the lease, with interest, at the rate of six per cent. a year, from the expiration of the first year of the lease.
V. The lessees shall give bond with approved security, for the fulfilment of the agreement, and for the re-payment of the money.
The persons who intend to lease, will state in the proposals, the quantity of salt which they will agree to make annually, and the price at which they will engage to sell the same: it being intended, the other terms being equal, and the security indispensible, to lease the spring to those who shall engage to sell the greatest quantity of salt at the lowest price.
Should any persons, otherwise desirous to lease, think the quantity of kettles, as stated in the second article, to be greater than they can establish; they may, in their proposals, state the quantity, expressed in gallons of the contents, which they would agree to establish and keep up.

JAMES HOWARD.

Reflections on POLITICAL ECONOMY, and the PROSPECT BEFORE US.
Addressed to the CITIZENS of the Western Country. No. III.
Present state of Trade and Relations between the Agricultural and Mer- cantile Classes.
HOWEVER undeniable it is, that the mercantile class in general, has been prejudicial to the country, so far; yet it is equally true that it may, by proper means, be converted into the most useful body of citizens in the state. Hitherto, it has not maintained that prudent relationship with the farming interest which is dictated by a wise, liberal and a saving policy. Its direct operation and tendency has been to draw out of the hands of the Agricultural class, what wealth it held and to appropriate it to their own use exclusively. This is evinced from the present comparative state of wealth between the two classes. In the towns of the state, where the merchant in general concentrates his property, his dwelling his equipage, the apparent amount of his stock in trade, the improvements that surround him, and his domestic conveniences bear the aspect of a flourishing opulence. The quantity of cash that he sends out to a foreign market is enormous: his importations large and valuable, all of which shew that his trade has preserved a ratio of increase. But let the medal be reversed, so far as it relates to the agricultural class. It is true that in some parts of the state the lands have been opened by industry, and that there are a few of the first rate farms under cultivation, with some tolerable improvements appurtenant. But by far the greater part of the farming citizens have verged but little beyond their original settlement and improvement. The balance of our territory is still in a state of savage uncultivation. The cabin that was built, the furniture with which it was stocked, and the forests that surrounded it when the proprietor first emigrated to the country, still retain their stand. Besides, if the lands have been opened, (which is the only thing that looks like improvement among this class) it has not been done by resources drawn altogether from our own soil, but by negroes who have been brought into the country, and by the aid of what little means otherwise that the emigrant could command by the hire of labour in addition to his own, and the gratuitous assistance of his neighbours. So upon the whole, there is a striking difference in the conditions of the two classes; such a difference, indeed, that it shews how very much the farmer has permitted himself to be imposed on, by yielding up his wealth to a body of men, who gave him nothing but the consumable articles of a foreign market in exchange.
By this means the merchant has grown rich: on the other hand the farmer maintains in general his old stand. He cannot even boast the providence of the ant, which lays up something for the future gloomy destinies of its life. To shew, however, that this has been and will continue to be the effect of his present relation with the cash merchant, let the case be exemplified.
The merchant imports £10,000 per annum. He resolves to sell his merchandise for cash alone, at a profit of 20 or 25 per cent. The farming class of citizens, knowing that he has opened no market for produce, make on their farms only as much corn, wheat and bacon as their respective families can use during the year. By some means or other, they have commanded as much money as will purchase the substantial as well as the useless ornaments of clothing. With this sum they flock to the store and purchase as much of the foreign articles of merchandise, as will serve their families during the year. At the end of the year, what is the amount of the trade between the merchant and the farmer? The merchant has sold his goods with a profit of 20 or 25 per cent upon the cost of the original cargo, added to the stock of his wealth, and is ready again to send to market enough cash to make a larger importation. By this means he is continually preserving a ratio of increasing opulence. The farmer, however, at the end of the year, finds the amount of his labour on the farm eaten up. His flock of cash is sunk to purchase merchandise, which has been altogether consumed in his family. His farming utensils are in some measure worn out; his lands somewhat wasted by cultivation, and he finds upon calculation, that he is in a worse condition, than at the beginning of the year. He has not been enriched one penny. He has to repair his farming utensils to cultivate the earth for another year's support. He is too lazy and improvident to manufacture his own clothing; is put to his shifts to raise another fund of money to purchase goods from the merchant, and with his eyes open, pursues from year to year the same unwise policy, that at length gets him in debt, consumes his land without profit, breaks his constitution by corporeal and mental embarrassments, and leaves him in a help-
less old age, to lament the follies of his better days. In the mean time the merchant is reaping the benefit of the farmer's improvidence and folly. The very policy which impoverishes the one, adds to the wealth of the other. I do not pretend to say, that this statement will extend to all the individuals of the agricultural class, or to every individual merchant. But it is undeniably correct so far as it relates to by far the largest proportion of both farmers and merchants. Nor can it be disputed that the commercial body who in any country whatever sends cash instead of the productions of the soil, to market, are effectually in the pursuit of that policy which will eventually ruin the state. I shall investigate this point in my next number.
ARISTIDES.
FROM A LATE LONDON PAPER.
LORD LYTTLETON'S VISION.
THE remarkable circumstances attending on the death of Lord Lyttleton have been so variously represented, a statement of the realities may afford the public some degree of satisfaction, and tend to prove that the intervention of Divine Providence, which governs the universe, is not inconsistent with reason and truth. The authenticity of the narrative may be depended upon.
There was a gentleman of much respectability, who had a residence at Clent, near Hagley Park, the seat of Lord Lyttleton. The family consisted of himself, wife, son, and four daughters; the eldest married, the others living with their parents at home. In June, 1778, the gentleman died; Previous to which time Lord Lyttleton was in the habit of visiting the family, but now appeared desirous of greater intimacy; to accomplish which he repeated his visits in the autumn, and made the young ladies a present of some elegant paraphernalia, on new-year's day, 1779, with a letter subjoined, written in the phraseology of scripture, of which the following is a copy, probably with a view to ingratiate himself with the mother, who was a lady of exalted understanding and great dignity of manners:
The 1st Chapter of St. Thomas to the Gentiles.
 1. Behold! I will speak to the daughters of Clent in the language of wisdom, and give you understanding to guide you in the paths of peace.  2. Look not, Eliza, upon man, nor upon the sons of men, with an eye of concupiscence, saying, "am I not sported?" for verily the wicked will be aware of the intentions of thy heart.  3. Take heed to thy ways, lest thou be like the foolish woman, even like Mary,* who will repent, even as Magdalene repented.  4. Did she not turn away from her mother that brought her forth, to seek out new inventions?  5. Be thou steady, like the cedar of Mount Libanon, that taketh its root in the earth, and lifteth its tall head to the skies.  6. As for thee, O Christiana, remember by whom thou art called, and seek not thy cloak in the dark.†  7. Trust not to any cunning, for that which appeareth to thee wisdom, is but folly to the wise.  8. Go to, thou art brown, but pleasant to look upon, and thy ways are full of sweetness.  9. Thine eye is like the eye of the basilisk, and it burneth like the red star in the tail of sagittary.  10. Thou dost excel all the daughters in the works of the needle, and thy voice is sweet to the ear.  11. When thou singest, thy voice is like the voice of the nightingale, when the mournereth for her mate by the river Ziela, in the shady groves of Jehova-phant.  12. Thy mother putteth her trust in thee, be thou a comfort to her when her heart is sad, that she may boast of thee, and say, "I am the mother of Christiana."  13. As for thee O Margaret, thou rose-bud of sweetness, peace be unto thee.  14. Verily thou art fresh as the dew that hangs on the lilly in the morning, which is devoured by the greedy sun.  15. Thy cheek is soft, even as the down upon the plum, which the curious wasp hath never invaded.  16. Thy lips shed the perfumes of Arabia, and the fountain of health is in thy mouth.  17. Thou art a daughter of the spring for early dost thou put forth thy loveliness, and many are the days thou shalt see.  18. But mind thou blossom of youth, that the first bud is soonest blighted; and behold the rushing wind preys upon its sweets.  19. Avoid thou the tempter in the wilderness, and cast the serpent under thy feet.  20. For, although thy words are fierce and violent, thy heart is as soft as the plume on the breast of the Swan.  21. Grow up yet but a little, and the sons of men shall be captivated by thy

less old age, to lament the follies of his better days. In the mean time the merchant is reaping the benefit of the farmer's improvidence and folly. The very policy which impoverishes the one, adds to the wealth of the other. I do not pretend to say, that this statement will extend to all the individuals of the agricultural class, or to every individual merchant. But it is undeniably correct so far as it relates to by far the largest proportion of both farmers and merchants. Nor can it be disputed that the commercial body who in any country whatever sends cash instead of the productions of the soil, to market, are effectually in the pursuit of that policy which will eventually ruin the state. I shall investigate this point in my next number.
22. Now for thee, O Mary, the mother of Elizabeth, Christiana and Margaret, to thee be all honor and praise.
23. Shouldst thou hold up thy head in the Temple among the rulers of the people, and high is thy fame in the land: thy words are weighty and full of truth, like unto the proverbs of the son of Sirach.
24. Behold thou art a woman of an exceeding spirit, and justice, with temperance, enlighten thy ways.
25. Yet thou art lonely and a widow woman, and the wickedness of men is against thee.
26. Trust not, therefore, to thyself alone; but take unto thee a helpmate, for so hath the Lord appointed.
27. Thus shalt thou be defended from the perils and dangers of widowhood, and shalt answer the purpose of thy creation.
28. Trust not to the honesty of a friend, but believe in the counsel of him that hath understanding.
The poor mother, not apprehending any disagreeable consequences, read the letter to her daughters, who were then of tender age, the youngest fifteen, the next seventeen, and the other nineteen; which inadvertence, (as the mother afterwards thought it) rested very much upon her mind. From repeated attentions on the part of his Lordship, familiar intercourse ensued, which terminated in the three young ladies' residence at Hagley-Park, quite contrary to the express command of their worthy mother, whose delicacy was shocked at her daughters being under the same roof with a man of Lord Lyttleton's character.
In September, his Lordship's engagements requiring him to visit Ireland, Miss Christiana, at his instigation, accompanied him, together with a lady of Irish extraction. This indiscretion greatly augmented the mother's afflicted state.—About a month after that period, the two sisters, who had remained at Hagley-Park during the absence of the party, went to meet them at a place where they were expected to land, and all came up to town residence, in Hill-street, Berkley-square, where they continued till November. On the 26th of that month, about two in the morning, Lord Lyttleton was awakened by something like the fluttering of a bird among the curtains of his bed which suddenly escaped, and the figure of a woman of majestic aspect (the very figure of the mother of the young ladies, as declared by his Lordship) made her appearance, and told him to prepare for his departure for another world, for that within three days he should be with her in the state of the dead. This most extraordinary occurrence making a deep impression on the mind of Lord Lyttleton, he, early in the morning, communicated it to the ladies, who ridiculed what appeared to them the effect of an heated imagination, and, to divert his gloom, they proposed a visit to Epsom, where his Lordship had a seat that he won from Lord Folke.
Here they spent the night, and the following day returned to Hill-street, where a party was invited to meet them. Not all the jocularity exerted on the occasion could dissipate the anxiety of his Lordship, though he affected to treat the circumstance with contempt; and exclaimed, upon retiring, "If I live over to-night, I shall joke the ghost."
LONDON, July 18.
Yesterday morning Mr. Lisle, the messenger, arrived at Lord Hawkesbury's office, with dispatches from St. Petersburg. He came by the way of Toningen. In a few hours afterward, a Russian courier arrived at count Woronzow's, with dispatches from St. Petersburg also. He came in the Soper-loop. These dispatches were immediately sent or communicated to Lord Hawkesbury at Rochampton, where his Lordship in the evening gave a grand dinner. At three o'clock, Mr. Sparrow, the messenger, was sent to the King at Windsor, and this day a Cabinet Council was held at Lord Hobert's office. Nothing transpired respecting the dispatches, but we understand they are of great interest. They probably embrace two objects; the Emperor Alexander's answer to the appeal made to him by his majesty, in his capacity of Elector of Hanover, and the determination of the Russian Cabinet with respect to its interference between this country and France. Such is their importance indeed, that both the British Minister at St. Petersburg, and the Russian government, thought proper to send to London with the same advices.
The King of Naples, on the approach of the French troops, is stated to have retired from Naples to Palermo. Fifty thousand maps of London have been thrown off in Paris, at twelve fols each, (six pence) in which rich streets are all described, and the houses of the
affluent are all stamped with a particular mark, that the invaders may know where they are to go to work when they arrive. A printed description is sold along with the map, in which the riches of London are exaggerated, and the cowardice of the inhabitants held up to contempt.
July 19.
According to the last letters from Corfu, the Emperor of Morocco has declared war against Austria.
A gentleman of America has just arrived here from Bresl: he says there are there getting ready for sea 15 sail of the line, but are by no means, to all appearance, in any shape, in a state of any great forwardness.
July 20.
It is with pleasure we are enabled to state, that the long pending discussions between our government and the United States, respecting the claims of American citizens for captures by British cruisers during the last war, are now brought nearly to a conclusion. Last Friday, the first awards upon the instalments of the Commissioners, amounting to about 400,000l. became due, and was punctually paid by this government. The whole will amount to 1,200,000l. The three Commissioners, Messrs. Gore, Pinckney and Turnbull, who have resided in England for seven years, merit the thanks of both countries, for their patience and perseverance in the examination and adjustment of claims that might have so greatly affected the good understanding between them.
The Monitor contains an advertisement, on the blockade of the Elbe and Weser, which it is only necessary for the public to read with common attention to be convinced of their fallacy. This is, however, the first intelligence we have received of the blockade of the Weser; and we have no ground to believe, with the exception of the present statement in the Monitor, that the measure, however strictly justifiable it would be, has been actually carried into effect.
The king of Prussia is said to have granted a passage, through his territory, to the army of reserve, now on its march to join general Mortier, in Hanover.
Accounts yesterday reached Dover from Calais, stating the activity and extent of the preparations making throughout France, for the invasion of this country. Eight thousand gun boats are said to be building; and so desirous are government of concealing the means of annoyance now carrying on, that the English, who have resided for twenty years in Calais, have been marched into the interior of the republic.
The principal dealers in post horses and post chaises in Edinburgh, have pledged themselves to put all their horses and chaises at the disposal of government, for the purpose of conveying troops in case of invasion; and even post boys have volunteered their services.
July 21.
Yesterday the funds declined about one per cent. The only reason for this fall that could be given, was an opinion that the negotiation with Russia has taken an unfavorable turn.—We believe that the answer of the court of St. Petersburg to the representations of the British government respecting Hanover, has not been such as a strict sense of the obligation entered into to guarantee the Germanic Body would dictate. The blocking of the Elbe, it is thought, will displease the court of Russia; and altogether no good is to be expected from her interference. Her mediation for peace is a secondary consideration, which must follow the settlement of the question respecting Hanover. The intercourse with Russia, whether it be called mediation or negotiation, is not broken off, as it is reported; but there is nothing in it at present to inspire hopes that it will be productive of benefit.
Letters from Dover yesterday, represent the preparations making on the coast of France for the invasion this country, as extremely formidable; and that the better to conceal them, all the English at Calais, Boulogne, &c. are ordered to England in forty-eight hours, or to retire into the interior of France, even though they should have resided in these towns the most part of their lives. It is said 8000 gun boats are to be built for the attack of this country. The number seems to be incredible, but France undoubtedly has vast means for building them, and many vessels within their power which may be converted to that purpose. While some of our countrymen are shewing the improbability of invasion, as the French cannot well land horses and artillery, it is possible they may throw many thousand of their horses on our shores, with muskets and bayonets in their hands, ammunition and provisions on their backs, who may do the most serious mischief. The promise of the plunder of this country will animate French soldiers to any enterprise, however desperate, and that promise is made to them in every way that can inflame their passions.
July 22.
As the public must wish to be accurately informed of the new plan of arming the country, we re-state the outline of the bill brought in by the Secretary of War on Monday:
That all the males, from 17 to 55, in every parish throughout these kingdoms, shall be regularly trained to the use of arms. That the armament shall be divided into four classes, viz. the first shall consist from the age of 17 to 30, who are
married, and have not more than one child under ten years old. The second of the same description, from the age of 30 to 50. The third of those who are married, from the age of 17 to 50, and have not more than two children. The fourth of those who do not come within the above mentioned descriptions.
The clergy, the militia, the army of reserve, the volunteer corps, &c. shall be exempted from the operations of the bill.
That the Lords Lieutenants shall be empowered and commanded, in conformity to the General Plan of Defence, to cause all the men in the different parishes of all the countries, to be instructed in the use of arms once a week, from Lady Day to Michaelmas.
That the arms shall be furnished by his Majesty, and that they shall afterwards be kept in proper order by the respective parishes.
That such as do not attend the time and place appointed shall forfeit 5s. and the poorer classes 1s.
That orders shall be given for the appointments of officers &c. and for the uniting of small neighboring parishes, to unite them into companies.
That his Majesty shall be enabled to order the Deputy Lieutenants to assemble the whole, and to direct that one or two of the classes, or all if necessary, shall, in cases of invasion, march to the coast, or elsewhere against the enemy.
That when there on service, every man shall be subjected to regular discipline, and to the operations of martial law, in the same manner as the regular army.
That when thus assembled every man shall be allowed two guineas to provide himself with necessaries; and on his return, over and above the usual pay, one guinea.
That the services of these corps shall be limited to the continuance of invasion.
That when the enemy shall be pushed into the sea, or otherwise exterminated, these corps shall have leave to return to their respective homes.
PARIS, July 14.
Copy of a letter written by Lieutenant General Mortier, to Marshal Count Walmoden, dated Lünenburg, June 30.
"I have the honor to inform your Excellency that the First Consul would have approved, in its entire contents, the Convention of Suhlingen, had the King of England himself consented to ratify it. It is, therefore, with pain I have to acquaint you that Lord Hawkesbury has informed citizen Talleyrand that his Britannic Majesty formally refused that ratification.
"Your Excellency well recollects, that in 1757, a similar Convention was concluded at Closter Seven, between M. de Richelieu and the Duke of Cumberland, and that the King of England not being disposed to adhere to it, gave orders to his army to recommence hostilities.
"It is to avoid a renewal of the scenes which then took place, that my government charges me to inform your Excellency, that the refusal of his Britannic Majesty annuls the convention of Suhlingen.
"It is evident, M. Marshal, that England unworthily sacrifices your troops, whose bravery is known to all Europe; but it is no less known that any plan of defence on your part would be illusory, and could only draw down new calamities upon your country.
"I have empowered general Berthier, chief of the general staff, to communicate to you my proposals. I must insist that your Excellency will have the goodness to give a categorical answer in the space of twenty-four hours. The army which I have the honor to command is ready, and waits only for the signal to action. I intreat your Excellency to believe me to be, with the most distinguished consideration,
(Signed)

Letter from Gen. Mortier to the First Consul, dated
"HEADQUARTERS AT LUNENBURG, July 6.
"CITIZEN FIRST CONSUL, "On the 30th ult. I wrote to Marshal de Walmoden a letter, of which a copy is hereto subjoined. Baron de Bock, Colonel in the regiment of guards, waited on me, on his part, the following morning. He told me that the proposal of making his army lay down their arms, for the purpose of being conducted prisoners to France, was of a nature so humiliating, that all of them would rather perish with arms in their hands; that they had made a sufficient sacrifice for their country by the capitulation of Suhlingen; that it was now time to do something for their own honour; that their officers and their army was reduced to despair. M. de Bock then represented to me the extreme fidelity with which the Hanoverians had scrupulously executed all the articles of the Convention of Suhlingen, which concerned them; that their conduct in regard to us was exempt from all reproach, and ought by no means to draw upon them the misfortunes with which I menaced them. I, on my side, recriminated on the perfidy of the King of England, who had refused to ratify the convention of the third of June; that it was the Machiavellian policy of England alone that they had to accuse, and that

A NEW SONG,
On the cession of Louisiana to the United States.
HAIL Jefferson! thy country's voice, Shall tell thy acts in joyful strains— Beneath thy wise designs rejoice, While peace and plenty deck the plains.
Monarchic wiles, and grandeur's schemes, Shall vanish like fantastic dreams.
When infidels justly rais'd thy frown, Thou did'st to wrath discretion join, And bade the royal Spanish crown Lay justice to the travers'd line.
The monarch hears—without delay The rankling cause is swept away.
No hostile armies cross the plain, No war-contractors grip the poor; No childless widows mourn their slain, No cripples beg from door to door:
But all is stillness—all is peace, And joys from hour to hour increase.
While Britain madly pants for war, And France indignant checks her pride, Though Europe shake, without a jar Here peace and plenty shall reside;
And though our wide republic raise The songs of gratitude and praise.
Columbia! hail the happy day, When worth and diplomatic skill, With honest but commanding sway, Bids even rivalry be still:
By reason's mild, alluring art, Adds a new empire to our chart.
New Orleans purchas'd, and thy tide Vast Mississippi, all our own, Her adverse barques in peace shall ride, Nor acts of enmity be known:
Orleans, like sister cities, free, Shout, "Jefferson and Liberty!"
Louisiana's vast domain Annexed to our union lands, Nor shall her sovereignty again, Revert into European hands.
Her sister states her love shall claim, And gently fan her genial flame.
Throughout the empire's widening bound, New towns & states will swiftly rise; European crowds will press the ground, Emerging from less favored skies:
Of equal rights and laws secure, Hosts following hosts shall seek this shore.
Blest are the men who foster peace, Who strike no needless, hasty blow; Who love to see the arts increase, And riches from industry flow:
Who keep no pamper'd dandies in pay, To vanish guilt in colours gay.
DIVERSITY.
ORIGINAL.
A couple of young gentlemen were some time since employed in the study of law, in a town in England, where they had been engaged among other books, in reading Sir John Commyn's Digest and Siderfine's Reports. In a short time one of them went to keeping a tavern, and being called on by his old comrade, "Why my friend," says he, "times are very much changed with you—instead of Sir John Commyn and Siderfine, it is now Come in Sir John and fine Cyder ."
