DEBATE
On Mr. Gregg's Resolution
MR. RHEA, (of Tennessee,) said, it was with some difficulty he had pre- vailed on himself to attempt to make any remarks on the resolution now un- der consideration, but the duty he ow- ed to his fellow citizens, to this honora- ble committee, and to himself, constrain- ed him not to remain silent.
It is not many years since the United States of America, from being obscure colonies of Great Britain, emerged in- to sovereignty—The treaty of one thousand seven hundred and eighty- three, restored peace, and confirmed the independence of these United States; but they were involved in a large debt, incurred by the war, which terminated in their independence. The United States were then possessed of large fer- tile territory; but agricultural industry was injured by the war, and they were without sources and without commerce.
With the return of peace, agricultu- ral industry was revived and enlarged; an extensive enterprising commerce be- gan to operate and extend itself. Per- severing, active industry, in the business of agriculture—and in that of com- merce, in a period of little more than twenty years of peace, hath afforded re- sources for the payment of a large por- tion of the public debt; hath increas- ed the wealth of individuals, and of the nation, and hath elevated these United States to be the second commercial na- tion in the world: and for this, there is reason to apprehend they have incur- red the jealousy of that maritime pow- er, whose unprovoked war hastened them into independence.
If the history of commerce is attend- ed to, it will be discovered, that it ori- ginated with the nations of the East, (as did almost every other effort and speculation of genius,) and from thence travelled Westwardly. In its course, it continued certain periods of time with some favoured cities, and with some favoured nations, and when it de- parted from one city and nation, it took up its residence with another more to the West. Tyre, Carthage, and Alex- andria, were ancient cities, highly fa- voured by commerce in their respective times. Genoa, Venice, and Amster- dam, in modern times. At this time, London is the most favoured commercial city in the world. Commerce in its progress from East to West, was always attended with a spirit of monopoly. With whatever favoured city & nation, commerce resided, that city and nation soon after became ambitious to monopol- ize commerce to itself, and to exclude (except so far as it might judge proper for its own interest,) all other nations from participating equal advantages.
To be, or to be rising to be a nation of commercial influence, hath from time to time been cause of contention among the nations bordering on the shores of the Ocean. That contention for superiority, hath in most instances been attended with desolating war; and in many cases, ended with the subver- sion and ruin of a rival commercial power, or of a power who attempted to mo- nopolize commerce to itself. To this
cause in a certain degree, may be attri- buted the desolation of Tyre, the demo- lition of Carthage, and the ruin of Al- exandria, of ancient times; the fall of Genoa, and the declension of Venice in modern times.
It is many years since Great Britain began to be a nation of commercial im- portance. Agricultural industry, and manufacturing genius, pursued with stea- dy and unremitting attention, gave wings to her commerce. Her merchant vessels, from her intimated position, as from a center, passed the Ocean in all directions, and articles of her manufac- turing appeared for sale in the ports of every maritime nation.
Commercial success, and favourable maritime events, caused the policy of Great Britain to contemplate the domin- ion of the Ocean necessary, to secure the excellence and continuance of a commercial monopoly; for this purpose, the construction of a navy was, with unabating vigor, attended to.
Great Britain, governed by her favor- ite policy of acquiring unlimited com- merce, hath for ages past, (except some partial intervals,) been engaged in wars with her maritime European neighbors. Any cause hath been laid hold of by her, to produce the ruin of a commercial rival. To that policy may be attri- buted the wars between Great Britain and Holland—between Great Britain and Spain, and between Great Britain and France, which caused the loss of the lives of millions of men, and the ex- pence of millions of money. Actuated by this policy, Great Britain progressed, until the commerce of every other Eu- ropean maritime nation had been de- stroyed, or made subservient to her in- terest, and she hath made herself the unrivalled commercial power in Europe.
No nation ever acquired and possessed commerce as extensively as Great Bri- tain. That wisdom which systematized the plan, and that undeviating perse- vering policy, which, notwithstanding internal commotions and external wars, conducted her to the summit of com- mercial power, will ever command ad- miration. The acquisition is the effect of the work of ages. Her commercial aggrandizement hath been her favour- ite object, to this her policy for a long series of years hath been directed. In this policy may be discovered the cause of all the wars she hath been engaged in for centuries past. To monopolize the commerce of the world, was her paramount object, to retain it, the en- ergy of her power will be exerted. In acquiring it, her power was the law; in preserving it, the same law will be observed.
The mind cannot without horror con- template the ravages, carnage and de- struction, that monopolizing policy hath occasioned, either directly or indirectly, in every quarter of the earth.
It is to be apprehended, that Great Britain sees a new commercial rival e- merging into existence in the West, at a distance of three thousand miles. That, that rival is the United States of America. A new nation, composed of citizens for the most part derived from the dominions of Great Britain. A na- tion, who as it were, in a day hath ar- sen into existence, and carried its com- merce to the most distant regions.
It may with propriety be said, there is reason to believe, that the increasing commerce of these United States affords more serious cause of inquietude to G. Britain, than that of any other nation ever did. The vast territory of these United States, so fertile and so pro- ductive of all the necessaries of life; the extensive forests of lofty timber, with which that territory is covered, and the certainty that it contains and will pro- duce all the materials necessary for ship building; the temperate manners and fixed habits of the citizens, their agri- cultural industry, and commercial enter- prise, their population increasing in a ratio unexperienced since the first settle- ment of nations, afford sufficient cause for restless alarm.
With deep and corroding regret, the policy of Great Britain contemplates these things, and foresees a diminution of her commercial power, in the pro- sperity of that of these United States.
Great Britain hath destroyed the commerce of Holland, of Spain, of France, and that of most of the other maritime powers of Europe; it only re- mains to restrict the commerce of these United States, and by that means to seize the commerce of the world.
In conformity to her fixed policy, G. Britain hath, contrary to all law, from time to time impressed seamen, citizens of these United States, and in conse- quence of new maritime rules, not re- cognized by the laws of nations, and which power hath enabled her to impose, her armed ships have captured merchant ships and vessels of these United States, not bound to ports blockaded, nor car- rying articles termed contraband of war; and the same merchant ships and vessels, are condemned by her courts of admiralty, under pretence, that a trade not permitted to neutrals in time of peace, ought not to be allowed in time of war.
It is to be apprehended, that the regulations now imposed by Great Bri- tain, are only an ostensible cause for capturing the merchant ships and vessels of these United States, and that there is another cause, proceeding from her policy, of more remote consequence.

That may be the suppression of the commerce of these United States, or at least to reduce it to a complete dependence on her own commerce. This opinion will appear to be without reason, if a retrospective view is taken of the policy, the conduct and persevering industry of Great Britain, to destroy the commerce of European powers.
When the maritime power of Great Britain is contemplated, it may be enquired, what can these United States do, to prevent the prostration of her commerce?
Mr. Rhea said, he was not sufficiently conversant in the commercial history of Great Britain to know, what quantities of merchandise, either Holland, Spain or France, annually imported from Great Britain; or what quantities of merchandise Great Britain exported directly or indirectly to either of those nations; but he was induced to believe, that neither of those nations, for that cause, had such strong hold on Great Britain, to induce her to keep in peace, as these United States have. That Great Britain had not such intended inducements to preserve peace with either of those nations, as she had to preserve peace with these United States. Each of those nations was a near neighbour to Great Britain; these United States are West of the Atlantic Ocean. Neither of those nations imported annually such great quantities of merchandise from Great Britain and her dominions, as these United States do; it is questionable whether any other nation ever did.
Great Britain hath commenced her career in injuring the commerce of these United States; not by direct warfare, but by a mode of restraint and spoliation, as efficient in event, if permitted in and suffered. There is reason to believe, that these restraining regulations are put in force as matter of experiment, and if it is perceived that they are submitted to, other new regulations will be invented, adopted and enforced, until the desired object is obtained.
Great Britain (and every other nation, whatever system be acted on to obtain it,) is bound only by her own interest. If that interest directs her policy to attempt a diminution or subversion of the commerce of the United States, that attempt will be made. An attempt already hath been made to restrain the commerce of these United States, by impressing seamen, and capturing ships and vessels.
Mr. Rhea said, it was his opinion, that some principle of re-action ought to be adopted, that it should consist of certain commercial regulations, which may be commensurate with the injury. That this regulation may be a suspension of the importation of goods, wares, and merchandise, from the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, and the colonial dependencies thereof, as is declared in the resolution of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, now under consideration. The measure which ought to be adopted, should be effectual, and within the power of these United States.
Mr. Rhea said, he was not particularly attached to that resolution, his desire was, that some regulation might be made, that would be commensurate to the object.
Every nation hath a right to determine whether it will or will not import merchandise from any other nation. If it determine not to import, that is not a just cause, nor ought to be any cause of offence to the other nation. It was not his desire that the United States should give cause of offence to, or commence hostilities, or be at war with any nation. He was firmly determined not to surrender any right, which in his opinion, did belong to the people of these United States.
These United States import annually from Great Britain, merchandise to the amount of more than thirty millions of dollars, from the dominions of Great Britain. The vending so great a quantity of merchandise to these United States, is an object of the first magnitude to Great Britain, and which she would at any time, particularly at the present, be very reluctant to lose. If adequate commercial regulations be adopted, there is reason to believe, that Great Britain will be induced for the preservation of her own interest, to make friendly arrangements, which will remove all existing differences, and do justice to these United States, in their commercial concerns, agreeably to the existing, known, used and accustomed laws of nations.
If on the reverse, it shall be so, that Great Britain will refuse to make friendly arrangements, and to do that justice which these United States are entitled to, and will persevere in impressing seamen, citizens of these United States, and will continue to commit injuries on our commerce, one of two things must be the consequence. These United States have either to submit their commerce to the policy of Great Britain, or to call forth their energies, to resist the attempt of deprivation. If Great Britain shall hazard a contest, she hath much to lose, and a war may terminate as much to her injury as to that of these United States.
In discussing the subject under consideration, arguments had been deduced
from geographical divisions of these United States, and from the injury which might be done to the exportation of particular articles of particular States. These geographical distinctions might as well not have been mentioned—these United States, on every national question, are one. Arguments deduced from any injury which may accrue to the exportation of any particular production of any particular State, are not well founded. In this case is involved the welfare and interest of these United States. The policy of Great Britain may be to suppress the commerce of these United States, if possible, or to reduce it to an entire subserviency on her own commerce.
It hath been said, that Great Britain is fighting for her national existence, & that this being so, the United States ought not now to urge their complaints. If it be so, these United States have not been the cause of that war; these United States have not been aiding the enemies of Great Britain, they have preferred an impartial neutral position. They have not been hostile or inimical to Great Britain in the course of that war. Their conduct hath been the conduct of friendship. But Great Britain is said to be fighting for her national existence, if so, to what cause is that war to be assigned? Is the non-performance of the treaty of Amiens, as it related to Malta, a cause of that war? If so, what nation refused the performance, Great Britain or France? The answer is evident. Can Great Britain justify injuries done to her friends? Will Great Britain attempt to justify her unjust attempts to suppress the commerce of these United States?
But it is said, Great Britain is fighting for her national existence. Admit it to be so, will any gentleman say, that if in the event of the war, Great Britain shall lose her national existence, that that loss in the day of retribution, shall be attributed to these United States? Certainly not.
Agriculture and commerce are mutually assisting to each other—agriculture supports commerce, commerce gives life and vigor to agriculture; agricultural industry would become languid and feeble, if it were confined to supply the mere necessaries of life. Commerce subservient to the will of another, will soon cease to be.
The idea that the commerce of these United States can be suppressed, is not to be admitted—that commerce cannot be suppressed, it must increase and enlarge itself. Empire and commerce originated in the East, and travelled to the West. A period may be not far distant, when commerce will take up her favourable residence in these United States, and these United States then be the greatest commercial nation in the world.
NEW-YORK, May 21. The ship Mary-Ann left Bordeaux on the 20th of April; Paris papers to the 12th, and a regular file of the Bordeaux papers to the 16th of that month inclusive, are received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser. Notwithstanding gigantic projects of aggrandizement are forming, and although the continent of Europe is undergoing an important revolution, these papers are wholly destitute of interest.
We learn verbally, that Prussia has declared war against Sweden; that the French were marching large armies towards European Turkey, from which quarter, news of hostilities having commenced, was shortly expected; and that scarcely a doubt existed that Prussia had joined France in the war against England, or would do so shortly.
On the 6th of April, the guard ship in the harbour of Bordeaux, mounting 28 twelve pounders, and 110 men, (on board of which were the papers of the brig Orient, of N. Y.) was cut out and captured by the boats of the British frigate Iris. After the British had taken possession of her, she was attacked by a French man of war brig, but without success—the latter was beaten off with the loss of several men.
A British squadron was blockading Rochefort.
An embargo of ten days continuance was raised at Bordeaux on the 19th, the day before Capt. Burke failed.
From Paris and Bordeaux papers, to the 18th of April, received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
MADRID, March 7. In the night of the 26th February, the 4 French frigates and 2 brigs, which were in the port of Cadiz, set sail, and contrived to deceive the vigilance of the English fleet, which is cruising off that port. As they have provisions on board for six months, it is presumed they have a distant destination.
Government has received advices within these few days, that a conspiracy had been discovered at Carracas, (on the continent of America,) the central point of which was the city of Paz. Seventeen of the principal conspirators, among whom were some functionaries of the State, were seized and executed. The wise measures which were taken, stifled in its birth a plot, which might have been attended with the worst consequences.
HAMBURGH, April 2. The Prussian General, Count de Scharnhorst, published, the 28th at Hanover, what follows: “It has been stipulated in a treaty concluded between his Prussian Majesty, my most gracious master, and his Majesty the Emperor of the French and King
of Italy, that the ports of the North Sea, and also the mouths of the rivers which empty themselves into it, should be shut to English navigation and commerce, as they were during the time that the French troops occupied the States of Hanover. I publish the pretext by orders of my august Sovereign, to serve as a rule to all those whom it may concern. It has been enjoined the troops of the King my master, to refuse entrance to all English ships, which should present themselves in the said ports and rivers, and to hinder the introduction of English merchandise.”
(Signed,) COUNT SCHULENBURCH KENNERT. General of Cavalry, in the service of his Prussian Majesty, & commander of the army in Hanover.”
A letter from Amsterdam, dated 10th April, received by the ship True American, says, “Every day affords something new. The papers of this morning, allude to new troubles on the continent. It is said, that Russian troops are marching into Russian Poland. Business, generally speaking is brisk, and prices steady. Coffee scarce.”
Capt. Bartlett, from Bayonne, informs, that LOUIS BONAPARTE has been declared Sovereign of Holland, by a decree of the Government.
LONDON, March 31. Meditated Assassination of Bonaparte. On Monday night last, the 24th inst. a frigate search was made by the Magistrate of Hamburg, assisted by the French Minister, and all the French inhabitants, throughout the whole of that city and its environs. Every hotel, inn, and public house, was inspected with the most pointed scrutiny. At an inn of the second sort, a French officer was seized, whose appearance accorded strictly with the description in the hands of the Police. On his being arrested, he immediately exclaimed, “take me, and do with me what you please: I have deserved to suffer more than you can inflict, for my sukkardness.” He then confessed, that he had twice fired at Bonaparte, on the evening succeeding the battle of Austerlitz, but unfortunately missed him. On the affair taking wind, he had deserted, and had got to Hamburg, whence he intended to have sailed for England. He was immediately sent off by the quickest conveyance to Paris, where his inevitable fate awaits him. A most respectable native of France, who came over in the last Hamburg mail, was very nearly stopped at the same time, under suspicion of being implicated in this affair, but had the good fortune to be suffered to proceed on his voyage.
The same evening, Altona experienced a similar diligence of search, as it was supposed the party might have crossed the river.
No circumstance is more strange throughout the whole of this extraordinary affair, than the profound oblivion it has been buried in for such a length of time. It shews, however, how much the channels of communication throughout the continent, are governed by Bonaparte; and we have little doubt, but the fate of this unfortunate person, will be equally mysterious.
NORFOLK, May 20. The French Admiral Linois taken. Saturday arrived in Hampton Roads, his Britannic Majesty's frigate Tartar, Capt. Hawker, from Bermuda. Three days since boarded the American ship Hunter, from Lisbon, bound to Alexandria. On the 16th of April, in lat. 25, long. 33, the Hunter was boarded by his Majesty's brig Raven, from the squadron, under the command of Sir John Borlase Warren, then in sight, with the French ship Marengo, admiral Linois, of 84 guns, & the frigate Belle Poule, of 40 guns, captured by Sir John, on their passage from India to France, about the middle of March. The squadron consisted of 13 sail, including the two captured ships. Linois was returning, laden with the spoils of a three years successful cruise. The Hunter went up the Bay yesterday.
EXTRACT Of a letter from Lieut. James Biddle, (commanding gun boat No. 1,) to the Secretary of the Navy, dated CHARLESTON, S. C. May 14th, 1806. “It has been mentioned in several of the prints in this city, that a French privateer schooner has been, and still continues cruising off this bar, to the annoyance of the commerce of the United States. The report, however, is, I believe, incorrect. I have myself been out to sea at two different times, purposely to gain a light of her; and after having spoken a number of vessels, bound into Charleston, from the various ports of the United States; as also others, approaching the coast, directly in for sea, neither of which had seen or heard anything of a privateer. I returned hither this morning, convinced that the report was without foundation.”

PHILADELPHIA, May 23. The landing of Miranda at Carracas is confirmed by capt. Strange, of the brig Fair American, from Guadaloupe, who informs us that the intelligence was brought by a French privateer from the coast of Carracas, with addition that he had been defeated by the Spaniards. May 24.
Information, which is known to proceed from an unquestionable authority, was yesterday received at New-York, stating that Miranda, with a considerable force, had landed at Barcelona; and that the British sloops of war Lilly and Jason, had proceeded to join him. This information is contained in a letter from Trinidad, dated May 11, addressed to a gentleman in New-York, who is highly interested in the issue of this expedition. May 26.

NEW-BEDFORD, May 18. Arrived this day, ship Huron, Capt. Clarke, 27 days from Nantz. Capt. C. brought no papers, but says nothing of much importance had lately occurred. He understood, that an army of 80,000 were about to march from Paris for Denmark; their object to have the Baltic shut against the English. On the 20th ult. saw two English cutters, spoke one, and was informed, they were then in chase of a Prussian vessel, and that for fifteen days previous, they had sent in all the Prussians they met with.
NEW-YORK, May 24. Mr. J. Bruce, passenger in the sch't Charlotte Augusta, arrived here yesterday, in 9 days from Halifax, informs us, it was reported there, that Commodore Beresford had arrested Captain Whitby, of the Leander, for his outrageous conduct off Sandy Hook. It was understood, that Commodore Beresford was going to take the command of the Leander himself. Whitby's conduct was very much reprobated at Halifax. It was believed, he would be sent to England for trial, and that the vessels sent to Halifax by the Leander, would be immediately released.
Several letters received in town from Carracoa, concur in stating that Miranda, about the 12th April, landed at Aruba, a small Dutch island in sight of Carracoa, where he exercised and recruited his forces preparatory to his descent on the Spanish Main. He failed from thence about the 20th of April. This news is correct. [N. Y. Gaz.]
GREENOCK, May 2. Private letters from Hamburg, are said to state, that Austria has declared in favour of Russia. This report is not sanctioned by any of the German papers.

LONDON, April 27. (4 o'clock.) A vessel was on Friday sent into the Downs, which left the island of Walcheren on Thursday; several letters were yesterday received in town by her, from Middleburgh and Flushing, dated the 24th. These concur in stating the death of the King of Prussia, but differ as to the cause or agency which produced that event. Ministers, it is understood, received similar accounts, and the result of an enquiry at several of the public offices was, that although the report was by many entertained with prudent scepticism, it was no where rejected as improbable.
It is said, that the account of his Prussian Majesty's death, has been also
communicated by two vessels arrived from Garwyc.
The following is an extract of a letter from Middleburgh, dated on Wednesday:
Some serious misunderstanding has arisen between the French and Prussians in Westphalia, particularly at Warden and Essen. The French had taken possession of those places, and pulled down the Prussian Arms, substituting those of France in their stead. The Prussian Municipalities remonstrated in vain, until a Prussian Corps arrived, forcibly re-occupied the towns, and taking down the French arms, replaced the Eagles of their Sovereign.

FOR THE KENTUCKY GAZETTE. On reading Mr. Sloan's speech, 7th March, in reply to Mr. Randolph. [See Kentucky Gazette, 7th June] "Of old, those meet rewards who could excel, "And such were prais'd who but endeavou'd well." Pope.
Superior great are thy words, O Sloan, To lengthen'd tales of what remains unknown; Randolph would say, our enemy a friend, Minds that are sooth'd, takes an erroneous bend— Be thou a Horn-book politician still, Which for the people and their wish fulfill; Remember Britain, whose tyrannic sway, Where e'er it reach'd, drove happiness away— See Ireland, bleeding, nay spread o'er with Gore, Rome-murder Nero has not suffered more— Here Burgoyne's Blood-hounds did the people tear, No sex gain'd mercy, nor no age they'd spare— In India, too, the lust for wealth and power, Is mark'd with blood, by Britain, to this hour. Go on, good man, and be thy country's friend, To peace and parliament thy assistance lend; To three hour's speeches be thou still conscious, And virtue shall o'ercome the monster vice. B. Lexington, June 7, 1806.

FOR SALE, 18,000 Acres of Land, ON the left hand side of the three forks as you go up the Kentucky, and at their junction. This land runs along the river three miles, and nine miles back. The bottoms are rich land; the ridges are capable of producing wheat, and other small grain. The pasturage is excellent for raising flock of all kinds, as it has a plenty of cane brakes and peavines. All along the river is the sugar tree, wild cherry, and other woods common to this country. When you go back some distance, is the pine; which produces tar, turpentine, pitch and rosin; which will finally be valuable, independent of the wood that is upon the land. There is also a rock close to low water mark, that when the water is very low, shows clear salt upon its surface; and the rock itself tastes salt. There has been three water-witches [as they call them] trying the experiment, and say, there is four feet square of very salt water at the top of the bank, which is not an hundred feet from the water, and close to it a very easy ascending hill for several miles; and also the wood along the river. A coal bank within 300 yards. There is also 5 valuable coal banks which are near the river, with easy access to them. A coal yard and boat yard; and it is said, several salt-petre caves. The bottoms and along the creeks would produce good cotton and hemp. Lexington alone, independent of the country blacksmiths, consumes thirteen thousand bushels per ann. we will suppose Frankfort five thousand, which sells at the landing at one shilling per bushel, and twenty thousand might be sold: this might be made productive by a man of small capital. Independent of these advantages, the mouth of the three forks is the best fishing place in the state. In a small crib they can get five hundred pounds of fish in a day, and may get by a sein, five or seven hundred barrels per annum. Tobacco, flour, beef, pork, tallow, hogs' lard, hemp, cordage, whiskey or cast iron will be taken in payment. Part credit will be given. If the whole cannot be sold, a half will be sold, or a third. A clear and indisputable deed will be given. For terms apply to Wm. Leavy, Lexington, or at this office. Lexington, May 16, 1806. N. B. There are a number of acres of clear bottom land, and several log houses upon the above lands.
THE SUBSCRIBER Makes & sells woman's good lined and bound slippers at 65¢ a pair by retail. The quality of his work and the unusual low price, will (he conceives) secure him the encouragement of a discerning public, who have annually exported from this place from 20 to 25,000 dollars a year for the article of women's shoes; by their affording him encouragement in this partial experiment, they will soon induce other shoemakers to follow the example, and thereby stop the importation and save the money amongst ourselves. N. Prentiss, Adjoining the Prison, Lexington. N. B. Wholesale orders complied with on terms advantageous to merchants. Journeymen and apprentices wanted. May 23, 1806.

Lexington  WARM & COLD BATHS. THE public are respectfully informed, that I have, at considerable expense, in addition to my former Baths, (on a permanent spring on my premises) erected three new Bathing Houses, one of which is solely set apart for the Ladies' use. The use of Baths, warm and cold, were so general with the ancients, and particularly in warm climates, and the advantages to be derived from them, not only to persons in health as a luxury, but also in various acute diseases, where cruciating pain has been relieved, and sudden death often prevented, by the use of the warm bath alone; as well as the advantages to be derived both to children and persons of mature age, from the use of one or the other, as the faculty may think adapted to their case, will, the subscriber trusts, ensure the countenance and support of the citizens and others to the accommodation he hopes his baths may afford. Himself and attendants, will, from day-break 'til nine at night, wait on gentlemen; and careful female servants are provided to attend at all times on such ladies as may be pleased to encourage the attempt he has made to add to their convenience and comfort. G. A. WEBER. N. B.
