From the DIARY.
A WRITER in the Minerva of Saturday last, on the subject of National Character, makes some liberal reflections, which, as they may tend to create an improper bias in the minds of Americans, ought not to pass unnoticed.
This writer endeavors to persuade Americans, that there can be nothing good, which is not the production of their own soil—that every thing foreign is vicious and detestable—that they ought to despise the manners, the habits, and principles of all foreigners—that they should not think, speak, or dress like any other nation—in short that they should become a people sui generis, which would merit them the appellation of Americans. The weaknesses, and even the wickednesses of adopting such policy may be easily detected by taking a retrospective view of the effects, which it has had already on the governments of the old world. These have been the means that monarchs have made use of to propell their subjects against all other nations; thus with the help of religious prejudices, they have extended this national odium so far, as to make their credulous slaves believe they were born natural enemies. Thus prepared, they were ready to cut each other's throats, whenever the supposed interest or ambition of their masters should demand it.
The Chinese exactly adopt the policy of this bigoted writer; they are educated with a sovereign contempt for the habits, manners and learning of all other nations; the consequences of which is they are an ignorant, barbarous nation of slaves.
Mankind are the children of education, and all our thoughts, and manners are acquired. It ought to be the policy of every nation to improve upon the experience of others; in imitating their virtues, they should be extremely careful to discard their vices. But any improvement in moral philosophy, in government, in jurisprudence, or in the arts and sciences, surely should not be rejected, on account of its being the production of a foreign country.
Let Americans profit by the errors of others—let them observe an open, manly conduct with all nations—let them despise mean, national prejudices, above all those which originate in a difference of religious principles.
Had the writer confined his remarks to the frippery of dress we might have supposed his intentions charitable; but as they appear in a very questionable shape we must at least be permitted to doubt the rectitude of his designs. He seems to be particularly displeased at having a red cap stuck upon a pole in the public places. The expence of this exhibition cannot be an object worthy notice; and, as an emblem of liberty, if it causes any satisfaction particularly to foreigners, by convincing them they are in a free country, it is sufficient reason for continuing the custom. Those who are grieved at it, although they ought to be pitied, it is hoped will never be gratified with the fall of this symbol of our emancipation, so long as democracy predominates in this country.
As to half-boots, they are an improvement, being both less expensive, and more convenient for walking than full ones. The fame be said of strings at the knees or shoes. But whoever heard till this writer informed them, that the people in this country in order to imitate the French (in what it is well known never literally existed among them) had "actually become Sans Culottes, and paraded about with bare knees." The folly and extravagance of this assertion shows the absolute want of candor in the author.
He goes on to tell us that, "the commercial interests of this country are strongly connected with those of Great-Britain." Every person who reads the debates of Congress in the last session must be convinced that this assertion is not true. It was there clearly proved that our trade with France was much more advantageous than that with England. The habits, & connections with merchants, the national prejudices (which this writer is endeavoring to perpetuate) and our ignorance of the French language, are impediments, which have hitherto prevented so full enjoyment of their commerce as may hereafter be expected.
"To counteract," he says, "the influence of this connection, the French address themselves to our passions; they inflame our hatred against the pirates of England, and play upon our love of freedom. By this means they have made a powerful party in our country, who distinguish themselves by their almost delirious zeal for the French revolution." Can the apathy of this writer lead him to suppose, that any external influence was necessary to create in us an abhorrence at the pirates of England, or inspire us with a love of freedom? But here the cloven foot is apparent; the writer's enmity to the principles of the French revolution has occasioned this caution against adopting the manners and sentiments of foreigners. He wishes to cultivate a connection with the English, whose government, whose habits and manners are monarchical; and to discourage any with the French, whose government is congenial with our own, whose manners and habits are now perfectly republican.
Buth Sir, at this detection, and let us hear no more sophistry about national character. Be assured that true republicans consider all men as their brothers that they wish to cultivate an acquaintance with their manners, their virtues and vices, and to improve upon their knowledge.

From the AMERICAN DAILY ADVERTISER.
GERMANICUS,
LETTER V.
To the Citizens of the United States.
WE ought unceasingly to thank the Divine Dispenser of human events, that he has graciously suffered us to abolish, beyond the hope of redemption, the fabric of monarchy, hereditary or elective; that the head of aristocracy, like that of the serpent, has been bruised by the heel of the people; and that the people, being free from corruption, will, if they be not hurried away by the intrigues of affected friends, sooner or later, carve out their own happiness. But are these societies the people? Are they the majority of the people? Are they the majority of the states in which they assemble? Are they even the majority of the cities, towns or districts, from which they derive their name?—The reverse is notorious.
The next remove from the people themselves, is the character of a representative. This presupposes an immediate or ultimate election of the people; but in no degree embraces the situation of the societies. Nay more; if monitors and advisers were to be voted for by the people, is there any assurance for believing that the lot would fall on the members of those bodies? If a champion shall appear in the affirmative, let him publish a list of their names, that the people may judge of their fitness to be a constant phalanx of censors.
Strange agents must they be of the people, who are not removable by the people; of whom the people are ignorant; on whom the people have conferred no marks of confidence; who counterfeited the office of guardians, as if the people were in a state of helpless infancy. To crown the absurdity—the societies usurp, in the name of the people, the seat of legislation, by denouncing the laws, which the undoubted deputies of the people have enacted; which a large plurality of them approve; and in which all the community, with a small exception, have perfectly acquiesced.
Here again I shall be interrupted by an enquiry where the line is to be drawn between these societies, and the occasional meetings, which are often held for the purpose of considering any public measure.
The occasional meetings of the people will almost always be the effect of some solicitude, which, although it may be often groundless, will be sincerely felt. They will be open to the inspection of all. Every Citizen who chooses to attend, will have a seat, and a voice deliberative and decisive. The character of the individuals present will be known, and their opinions will be respected according as the discussion shall be conducted, fairly or otherwise, and according to the numbers on each side, and the pure intrinsic merit of the question.
If there be a suspicion that foreign gold has shed its influence, the person suspected is marked, and loses his faculty of doing mischief. The esprit de corps, which leads men, even in opposition to their particular sentiments, to espouse and enforce particular measures, will be an absolute stranger in such meetings.
In a very different shape, have the societies seized a political existence. Some of their advocates have endeavoured to lessen the apprehension of danger from them, by alledging, that one or two of the most early societies were established for electioneering purposes alone. Should this pretext prove true, a striking remark presents itself; that, after having originated upon so limited a scale, they have exemplified their hurtful tendency, by their immense strides since, which were not contemplated at their formation.
When these bodies were in embryo, a few, very few individuals met; not to relieve any anxiety, expressed by the people, but to render them uneasy; and to demand the tribute of benefactors, as awakening them from their supposed lethargy and ignorance.
These few digested a plan, accommodated to their own ideas and projects.—It is generally understood, that no person will be received, as a member, whose political tenets are not of the same complexion. Every vacancy is filled up by themselves. Their quorum for business is not numerous; an inconsiderable number attend their ordinary meetings, and the resolutions of whatever magnitude and intricacy, come forth backed by the authority of the whole society, and are afterwards propagated thro' the United States by the ready co-operation of the other societies.
This view of the subject will be continued.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30.
Extract of a Letter from Massachusetts.
"Parson Osgood's sermon is an excellent one. The Chronicle has so over-looked the author and his performance, that it is becoming matter of curiosity to every one—Have you seen Mr. Osgood's sermon on the question in thousands of mouths. A subscription for another edition is filling fast; and I trust he will not only do good by disseminating the sentiments which it contains, but will gain something handsome by the impression. This will be the fifth Edition."
Last Evening was married by the Rev. Bishop White, Mr. Jonathan Robeson, to Miss Sally Wharton, daughter of Mr. Joseph Wharton, of this City.
Yesterday the Secretary of the Commonwealth delivered to the Legislature, the following message, together with the several Documents therein mentioned.
To the Senate, and the House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:
GENTLEMEN, I HAVE received from the Secretary of War, and I have directed to be laid before you, a copy of the Treaty concluded with the Six Nations of Indians, at Konondaigua, on the 11th of November last; and a notification, that in consequence of this treaty, the temporary obstacles to the establishment contemplated to be made by Pennsylvania at Presqu' Isle, are removed.
As my authority to continue the suspension of the Presqu' Isle establishment, will expire at the end of the present session of the Legislature, permit me to request, that, in the intermediate time, you will be pleased to consider, whether some further provision is not necessary to enable me to accomplish that object, as well in point of funds, as of military protection to the Commissioners. You will readily perceive, that the expenses incurred before the suspension, were rendered useless by that circumstance; and it is questionable, whether the small number, and the limited existence of the garrison at Fort Le Boeuf, will allow a competent detachment to attend at Presqu' Isle, while the town and out-lets are surveyed.
THOMAS MIFFLIN. Philad. 28th Jan. 1795.
DEPARTMENT OF WAR, January 27, 1795.
SIR, I HAVE the honour to transmit to you, a copy of the Treaty concluded with the Six Nations of Indians at Konondaigua, on the eleventh day of last November; by which you will see, that the temporary obstacles to the establishment formerly contemplated by the state of Pennsylvania at Presqu' Isle are removed.
I am, with great respect, Sir, Your most obedient servant, TIMOTHY PICKERING, Secretary of War.
The GOVERNOR of Pennsylvania.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States of America, To all to whom these presents shall come,
GREETING.
WHEREAS a Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America, and the Tribes of Indians called the Six Nations, was made and concluded on the eleventh day of November last, by Timothy Pickering, Agent of the United States, for that purpose appointed, on the one part, and the Chiefs and Warriors of the Six Nations on the other part—which Treaty is in the form and words following:
"A Treaty between the United States of America, and the Tribes of Indians called the Six Nations.
The President of the United States having determined to hold a conference with the Six Nations of Indians, for the purpose of removing from their minds all causes of complaint, and establishing a firm and permanent friendship with them; and Timothy Pickering being appointed sole Agent for that purpose—and the Agent having met and conferred with the Sachems, Chiefs, and Warriors of the Six Nations, in a general Council—New, in order to accomplish the good design of this conference, the Parties have agreed on the following articles, which, when ratified by the President, with the ad-
vice and consent of the Senate of the United States, shall be binding on them and the Six Nations.
Article I. Peace and Friendship are hereby firmly established, and shall be perpetual, between the United States and the Six Nations.
Article II. The United States acknowledge the lands reserved to the Oneida, Onondaga and Cayuga Nations, in their respective treaties with the State of New-York, and called their reservations, to be their property; and the United States will never claim the same, nor disturb them, or either of the Six Nations, nor their Indian friends residing thereon, and united with them, in the free use and enjoyment thereof: But the said reservations shall remain theirs, until they choose to sell the same to the people of the United States who have the right to purchase.
Article III. The land of the Seneca nation is bounded as follows: Beginning on Lake Ontario, at the north-west corner of the land they sold to Oliver Phelps, the line runs westerly along the Lake, as far as O-Yong-Wong-Yeh Creek, at Johnson's landing-place, about four miles eastward from the Fort of Niagara; then southerly up that Creek to its main fork; then straight to the main fork of Stedman's Creek, which empties into the river Niagara, above Fort Schlosser; and then onward from that Fork, continuing the same straight course, to that river; (this line from the mouth of O-Yong-Wong-Yeh Creek to the river Niagara, above Fort Schlosser, being the eastern boundary of a strip of land, extending from the same line to Niagara river, which the Seneca nation ceded to the king of Great-Britain, at a Treaty held about thirty years ago, with Sir William Johnson) then the line runs along the river Niagara to Lake Erie; then along Lake Erie to the north-east corner of a triangular piece of land which the United States conveyed to the State of Pennsylvania, as by the President's patent, dated the third day of March, 1792; then due south to the northern boundary of that State; then due east to the south-west corner of the land sold by the Seneca nation to Oliver Phelps; and then north and northerly, along Phelps's line, to the place of beginning on Lake Ontario.
NOW the United States acknowledge all the land within the aforementioned boundaries to be the property of the Seneca Nation; and the United States will never claim the same nor disturb the Seneca Nation, nor any of the Six Nations or their Indian friends residing thereon and united with them, in the free use and enjoyment thereof; but it shall remain theirs until they choose to sell the same to the people of the United States who have the right to purchase.
Article IV. The United States having thus described and acknowledged what Lands belong to the Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas and Senekas, and engaged never to claim the same, nor to disturb them, or any of the Six Nations, or their Indian friends residing thereon and united with them, in the free use and enjoyment thereof: Now the Six Nations and each of them hereby engage that they will never claim any other lands within the boundaries of the United States; nor even disturb the People of the United States in the free use and enjoyment thereof.
Article V. The Seneca Nation, all others of the Six Nations concurring, cede to the United States, the right of making a waggon-road from Fort Schlosser to Lake Erie; as far south as Buffalo Creek; and the people of the United States shall have the free and undisturbed use of this road for the purposes of travelling and transportation. And the Six Nations and each of them will for ever allow to the people of the United States a free passage thro' their lands, and the free use of the harbours and rivers adjoining and within their respective tracts of Land, for the passing and securing of vessels and boats, and liberty to land their cargoes when necessary for their safety.
Article VI. In consideration of the peace and friendship hereby established, and of the engagements entered into by the Six Nations; and because the United States desire, with humanity and kindness, to contribute to their comfortable support; and to render the peace and friendship hereby established, strong and perpetual; the United States now deliver to the Six Nations and the Indians of the other Nations residing among and united with them, a quantity of goods of the value of ten thousand dollars. And for the same considerations, and with a view to promote the future welfare of the Six Nations and of their Indian friends aforesaid, the United States will add the sum of three thousand dollars to the one thousand five
hundred dollars heretofore allowed them by an article ratified by the President on the twenty third day of April 1792; making in the whole, four thousand five hundred dollars; which shall be expended yearly for ever, in purchasing cloathing, domestic animals, implements of husbandry and other utensils suited to their circumstances, and in compensating useful artificers who shall reside with or near them and be employed for their benefit: The immediate application of the whole annual allowance now stipulated, to be made by the Superintendent appointed by the President for the affairs of the Six Nations and their Indian friends aforesaid.
Article VII. Lest the firm peace and friendship now established should be interrupted by the misconduct of individuals, the United States and Six Nations agree, that for injuries done by individuals, on either side, no private revenge or retaliation shall take place; but instead thereof, complaint shall be made by the party injured to the other: to the President of the United States, or the Superintendent by him appointed; and by the Superintendent, or other person appointed by the President, to the principal Chiefs or the Six Nations, or of the Nation to which the offender belongs; and such prudent measures shall then be pursued as shall be necessary to preserve our peace and friendship unbroken; until the Legislature (or great Council) of the United States shall make other equitable provision for the purpose.
Note. It is clearly understood by the parties to this treaty, that the annuity stipulated in the sixth article is to be applied to the benefit of such of the Six Nations and of their Indian friends united with them as aforesaid, as do or shall reside within the boundaries of the United States; For the United States do not interfere with Nations, Tribes or Families of Indians elsewhere resident.
In witness whereof the said TIMOTHY PICKERING and the Sachems and War-Chiefs of the said Six Nations, have hereunto set their hands and Seals. Done at Kon-on-daigua in the State of New-York the eleventh day of November, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety four.

My chief aim has been, to offer to the public a Dramatic Entertainment, which, while it might excite a smile, or call forth the tear of sensibility, might contain no one sentiment, in the least prejudicial, to the moral or political principles of the government under which I live. On the contrary, it has been my endeavour, to place the local virtues in the fairest point of view, and hold up to merited contempt and ridicule, its opposite vices.

Inland Navigation. In the Press and speedily will be published by  Zachariah Poulson jun. No. 80, Chestnut Street, AN  HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE  Rise, progress, and present  state OF THE  Canal Navigation in Pennsylvania. With an Appendix, containing Abstracts of the Acts of the Legislature since the year 1792, and their Grants of Money for improving Roads and Navigable Waters throughout the state — to which is annexed, "An Explanatory Map." Published by Direction of the President and Managers of the Schuylkill and Susquehanna, and the Delaware and Schuylkill Navigation Companies. "Here smooth CANALS, across the extended plain Stretch their long arms to join the distant main. The sons of toil, with many a weary stroke Scour the hard bosom of the solid rock; Resilient through the fit opposing clay, With steady patience, work their gradual way; Compel the Genius of the unwilling flood Through the brown horrors of the aged wood; Cross the lone waste the silver urn they pour, And cheer the barren heath, or sullen moor. The traveller, with pleasing wonder sees The white sail gleaming through the dusky trees; And views the altered landscape with surprise And doubts the magic scenes that round him rise. Now like a flock of swans, above his head, Their woven wings the flying vessels spread Now meeting streams, in mutual maze, glide While each, unmixed, pours a separate tide; Now, through the hidden veins of earth they flow And visit sulphurous mines and caves below. The ductile streams obey the guiding hand, And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND!" Jan. 19

A neat deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c., and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington. The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. 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 Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors at the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
