FROM THE ARGUS.
THE DEFENCE-No. XXI.
SINCE the closing of my last number, I have accidentally turned to a passage of Vattel, which is so pertinent to the immediate subject of that paper, that I cannot refrain from interrupting the progress of the discussion to quote it...
It is plain to a demonstration, that the rule laid down in this passage, which is so just and perspicuous as to speak conviction to the heart and understanding, unites the natural with the customary law of nations...
It cannot need amplification to elucidate the truth of these positions. The storms of war occur so suddenly and so often, as to forbid the supposition, that the merchants of one country would trust their property to any extent, or for any duration, in another country...
It is no answer to this to say, that the exercise of the right might be ordinarily suspended, tho' the right itself might be maintained for extraordinary and great emergencies. In the first place, as the ordinary forbearance of its exercise would be taken by foreigners for evidence of an intention never to exercise it...
It is true, that, between Great Britain and the United States, the expectation of such effects is better warranted than perhaps in any other cases that have existed, because we commonly owe a larger debt to that country than is usual between nations...
causes, to force us into hostilities with them. Hence it appears, that the apprehension of acts of confiscation, or sequestration, was not sufficient to deter from hostile views, or to ensure pacific dispositions.
It may be pretended, that the menace of this measure had a restraining influence on the subsequent conduct of Great Britain. But if we ascribe nothing to the measures which our government actually pursued, under the pressure of the provocations received...
The truth unfortunately is, that the passions of men little conviction, that nations the most attentive to pecuniary considerations easily surrender them to ambition, to jealousy, to anger, or to revenge.
For the same reason, the actual experiment of an exercise of the pretended right, by way of reprisal for an injury complained of, would commonly be as ineffectual, as the menace of it, to arrest general hostilities.
But we forget, that as far as the interruption of the payment of the debts due to her merchants could be supposed to operate upon Great Britain, war itself would essentially answer the purposes of confiscation or sequestration...
The inconvenience of deferred payment would therefore be felt by Great Britain, with little mitigation, from the bare existence of war; without the necessity of our government incurring the discredit and responsibility of a special interference.
Indeed, as far as dread of eventual loss can operate, it ought, in a great measure to have its effects exclusive of the idea of confiscation. Great Britain must want reflection not to be sensible, that in making war upon us, she makes war upon her own merchants...
But severe laws inflicting heavy penalties might compel it-Experience does not warrant a sanguine reliance upon this expedient, in a case in which great opportunity of concealment is united with strong motives of inclination or interest.
either as a means of disabling our enemies, or as a resource to ourselves; its consequence dwindles upon a close survey; it cannot pretend to a magnitude, which would apologize, either for a sacrifice of national honor or candor, or for a deviation from the true principles of commerce and credit.
But let us take a further view of its disadvantages. A nation, in case of war, is under no responsibility for the delinquencies or frauds of its citizens, who are debtors to those of its enemy, if it does not specially interfere with the payment of the debts which they owe.
Further-Every species of reprisal or annoyance, which a power at war employs, contrary to liberality or justice, of doubtful propriety in the elimination of law of nations, departing from that moderation, which, in latter times, serves to mitigate the severities of war...
Besides (as if requisite might be proved from the records of history) in national controversies, it is of real importance to conciliate the good opinion of mankind; and it is even useful to prefer or gain that of our enemy.
Moreover the measures of war ought ever to look forward to peace. The confiscation of sequestration of the private property of an enemy, must always be a point of serious discussion when interest or necessity leads to negotiations for peace.
Thus we see, that in reference to the simple question of war and peace, the measure of confiscation or sequestration is marked with every feature of impolicy. We have before seen that the pretension of a

right to do the one or the other, has a most inimical aspect towards commerce and credit. Let us resume this view of the subject. The credit, which our merchants have been able to obtain abroad, especially in Great Britain, has from the first settlement of our country to this day been the animating principle of our foreign commerce. This every merchant knows and feels; and every intelligent merchant is sensible that for many years to come the same must continue the same. This, in our situation, is a peculiar reason of the utmost force, for renouncing the pretension in question. The exercise of it, or the serious apprehension of its exercise, would necessarily have one of two effects. It would deprive our merchants of one or two effects, so important to them, or it would oblige them to pay a premium for it proportioned to the opinion of the risk. Or to speak more truly, it would combine the two effects; it would cramp credit, and subject what was given to a high premium. The most obvious and familiar principles of human action establish, that the consideration for money or property, lent or credited, is moderate or otherwise, according to the opinion of security or hazard, and that the quantity of either to be obtained, on loan or credit, is in a great degree contracted or enlarged by the same rule. Thus should we, in the operations of our trade, pay exorbitantly for a pretension, which is of little value, or rather which is pernicious, even in the relations to which its utility is referred. What folly to cherish it? How much greater the folly ever to think of exercising it. It never can be exercised hereafter in our country, without great and lasting mischief. Instead of cherishing so odious a pretension, as "our best our only weapon of defence,"—Wisdom admonishes us to be eager to cast it from us, as a weapon most dangerous to the wearer, proscribed by the laws of nations, by the laws of honor, and by every principle of sound policy. Every merchant ought to desire that the most perfect tranquility, on this point, in foreign countries, should facilitate to him on the best and cheapest terms the credit for which he has occasion. And every other citizen ought to desire that he may be thus freed from a continual contribution in the enhanced price of every imported commodity he consumes, towards defraying the premium which the want of that tranquility is calculated to generate. CAMILLUS.
NEW-YORK, October 30. We congratulate our fellow-citizens on the disappearance of the fatal fever which has so long afflicted this city. It gives us peculiar pleasure to take our returning brethren by the hand, and to see business, activity and cheerfulness, reviving. We felicitate ourselves that the disease did not generally assume that deadly aspect, which has characterized it in some other parts of the United States, and that it did not extend its desolating effects to every part of the city. Nearly one half the city has either wholly escaped, or experienced only here and there a scattered case. It has also been marked with a less degree of contagion, than in Philadelphia; the physicians, (whose indefatigable attention to the sick deserves our warmest praise) the clergy, and other attendants, having generally escaped. We trust, in a few days, to see people from the country visiting the city without apprehension, as they may undoubtedly do without danger.
At Shaftsbury, in Vermont, a meeting of representatives from sundry towns in Bennington county, Timothy Brownson in the chair, and Anthony Haswell, printer, chosen clerk, voted that "The Treaty is injurious to the interest, and derogatory to the honour of the United States." This is all the work of one restless, troublesome fellow, who is always insolvent, and who neglects his own household to take care of the United States. No people are such bad citizens as those who officiously obtrude themselves into every kind of business but their own.  On the motion of Kermann, in the Convention of France, for submitting all bills to the Executive Directory for approbation, before they pass into law, and if objected to, then two thirds of the members of the two legislative branches to be necessary to pass them, the Convention exclaimed—"The American Veto! No Despot! No American Veto!" This reminds us of a proposition made in a speech, not more than 6 months ago, in the same Convention, for instituting a legislature with two branches, at which all the members rose and exclaimed with one voice, "No, No!" Now two branches are proposed and all France is in favour of the division. Such fickleness of opinion, such rapid transitions from one extreme to another, were never found in any other legislative body; and they indicate a remarkable instability of character, as well as a total want of that pure genuine wisdom, which flows from experience and fixed principles. Experience alone will lead the Convention to truth, and experience will probably point out the defects and errors of the Constitution as fast as a future Convention can repair them.  The French Emigrants enlisted recruits for the British service, in Hamburg; but this was opposed by the populace, who attacked the recruiting-house and demolished the windows, which put an end to the practice.
Philadelphia, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1795. To-morrow Evening, at 7 o'clock, for the accommodation of the Welsh Families in this city, a SERMO will be preached in their language, by the Rev. MORGAN J. RHES, in the Baptist Church in Second Street; the substance of which will afterwards be given in English, for the sake of those who do not understand the Welsh language.  From Correspondents. A paragraph in the Aurora of Friday last, contains an assertion, that the Editor of the G. U. S. "is a declared enemy to Republicanism." It is said, that the Aurora junto have adopted a kind of cam flag, in imitation of a certain set of men, who thereby evade the laws, in many of the European cities. Perhaps
in this case language Republicanism may mean anarchy, or Jacobinical opposition to the Constitution of the United States—If so, the writer may repeat his assertion: In any just sense, it is a falsehood.  Pittachus & Co. of this day, in worse English than usual, contains denunciations against the Constitution, and a sneer at checks and balances.  Why do The Hollow Ware Co. one day abuse, and the next day pretend to advocate the same principles? This conduct is altogether mysterious.  Pittachus, of this morning, is very badly translated—the foreign idiom is left scattered through the whole piece.
One part of the plan now in operation, to subvert the Constitution of this country, is to induce the people to despise the officers of Government. This nefarious scheme has been tried twice with partial success. The insurrection of Massachusetts, which cost three hundred and thirty thousand dollars to quell, was not produced till the lies and misrepresentations of incendiaries had effaced from the minds of the people all respect for their civil rulers.  It is well known to every volunteer on the Western expedition, that the insurrection in that quarter originated principally in a blind credulity on the part of the people in the writings and proclamations of the disorderers and clubs. That insurrection cost the people of the United States ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS—one advantage has, however, resulted from it: The latest intelligence from that quarter gives the most flattering assurances of the attachment of the people to the government which protects them, and which has been the source of countless blessings to the people of the United States—The Father of his Country in a particular manner is revered, nor would it be prudent in any man in that quarter, slightly to arraign his administration.  The foregoing facts afford a clue to the motives of those attacks on the President of the United States, and almost every other distinguished officer of the government.

It is said, that a number of worthy citizens, shocked and indignant at the infamous scandal, falsehood, and as they think, treason, which continually issue from the Chronicle , against the Federal Government, and against every measure it adopts; have serious thoughts of presenting a memorial to the General Court, at next Session, solemnly and formally to demand of them, whether this Commonwealth is at war with the Federal Government or not: As never since the creation of the world, was there seen or heard such malicious wicked, and causeless slander on some of the best of men and the best of governments as is every day circulated through the country, by means of a newspaper, which is supported by the government of this State, and the Editors killed, Printers to the General Court of Massachusetts.
WILMINGTON, October 30. Last Tuesday arrived here the brig Sally, Capt. Mitchell, in 42 days from Nantz. Capt. Mitchell has favoured the editor with Paris papers to the 8th of September, from which the following extracts are translated for the Delaware Gazette.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 12. The terrible fire which has lately reduced to ashes a part of this capital, is, perhaps, the most disastrous of all those of which it has been so often the prey. It broke out the 8th inst. at 9 o'clock at night, in a store-house near the canal. A fresh wind which arose unhappily spread the flames, and from the first hour of the fire, rendered abortive all attempts to extinguish it. At midnight it communicated to some large store-houses of oil, butter and lard: it was a dreadful sight to see all those matters running through the streets, like lava, in flames, spreading fire and desolation, and overtaking the unhappy fugitives endeavouring to escape. This running flame soon arrived at the store-houses of wood and coal: it was then that the conflagration was at its height: the burning heat of the atmosphere kindled from afar every thing combustible. All the store-houses of rice, barley, tobacco, and above all of coffee, of which there had arrived lately a considerable quantity, became a prey to the flames, and extended wider the ravages. The conflagration lasted 36 hours, and did not cease while any thing remained to feed it in the direction it took. It is supposed that at least five or six thousand houses were burnt, exclusive of public edifices and shops, among the latter of which are fifty shops of workers in amber. The loss is estimated at twelve millions of dollars.
PARIS, September 2. The committee of public safety, by an arrest dated August 29, enjoins the general of the army of the west, and the commandants of Nantz, to cause to be apprehended and delivered to the tribunal of the second rounding of the army of the west, the instigators, authors and perpetrators of the detestable events which have taken place at Nantz. Official knowledge of this business has reached the committee, by which it appears that of the number of victims doomed to massacre on this occasion, more were by citizens of Nantz than soldiers. These citizens are the same which not long ago formed the company of Marat, all agents of Carrier, all regretting his horrible tyranny. These monsters had endeavoured to persuade the volunteers that the laws authorized this excess. This information also states that the signal of murder was given by a young man of Nantz, who suffered himself to discharge a pistol in a simple scuffle which did not seem to promise bloodshed.  * Arrondissement. † Capt. Mitchell says, that shortly before he left Nantz, the soldiery had taken a dislike to the citizens tucking up their hair behind, alleging that it was aristocratical; and attempting, by force, to cut the hair of such persons, much mischief ensued, and many lives were lost.
Sept. 4. A letter from an American, inserted in the bulletin at Havre informs us that it is not true as has been announced that the late treaty between Great Britain and the United States has been ratified by the President and Senate. On the contrary the effigy of Mr. Jay the late envoy extraordinary to the court of St. James, has been burnt at Boston, New-York, and Charleston, and all the inhabitants have declared against the treaty. The same letter announces that the inhabitants of Boston have been so discontented with repeated borrowings of their property in the channel by the English, that they have burnt several English vessels in the port of Boston.

Wilson of the new Theatre, Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the first edition of this entertaining novel, in a few months is the best criterion of its merit.] EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, April 1791. p. 468. "It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of aacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity, of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover and treachery of his friend." The situations are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed." 1. The Inquisitor—by Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. $1 2 1/2 cents. 2.

The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prize are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution. A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect coincidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the more suspension indispensable.

LOTTERY INTELLIGENCE. We are informed that the gentleman who drew the 15,000 dollar prize, in the Canal Lottery, was the proprietor of only a single Ticket—This instance of good fortune, shews that it is well to be in Fortune's road; and is the more pleasing, as the owner of the prize is a very worthy, though not a very affluent citizen. The Scheme of the Canal Lottery is certainly one of the best which has appeared—for, independent of the useful objects to which its proceeds are to be applied, the scheme is so calculated as to continually enhance the value of the Tickets remaining in the wheel; because, while the drawing progresses, the chance of a capital prize growing greater, must increase the value of the undrawn Ticket. The Prizes drawn to the close of the drawing on last Wednesday Evening, were
  1 of 15,000   2 of 2,000   5 of 1,000   4 of 500   11 of 100   1700 of 12   And there then remained in the wheel   1 of 50,000   1 of 30,000   2 of 10,000   6 of 2,500   9 of 2,000   15 of 1,000   36 of 500   89 of 100   14800 of 12   And 5 stationary prizes of 20,000 dollars each; by which, and the nature of those 5 stationary prizes, which are to belong to the five last drawn tickets, it will be found, that an undrawn ticket was yesterday morning, worth nearly 11-2 dollars, which, at the beginning, was worth no more than 10 dollars—and so the undrawn tickets must continue to increase in value, as fast as the drawing proceeds: And this circumstance will account for the number of Offices, which are opened for the sale of Tickets, as the profits must be daily increasing; and in a few days a Ticket now selling at 11 dollars, will no doubt command 15 dollars, and must continue to get higher as the drawing approximates to the five stationary prizes of 20,000 dollars each.
