donable man was accuHomed to take in his
own private concerns. Every luch indi-
vidual, who deigned building houfe,
obtained fra, an Ultimate from fkilful
workman, which. iatis6ed him. IF men
act not in this way, there could be ne
progreis in human improvements.
After this information furnifhed by
fuch an artia, gentlemen ought to be "a
tis6ed without oppoing to it their own
crude conceptions; and Mr.. Harper iaid
he hoped they would ceafe to talk on a
fubjcef on which they were 70 ignorant,
until they became better informed.
Mr.. Macon did not Zee the fabiea- IN
the fame light with The gentleman from
South Carolina. He was diipoied to pay
the greatef refpef to his talents, but he
could not give up his own opinion. The
Ultimate made by the artif amounted to
40, 900 dollars; yet the gentleman from
Virginia required 400, 900 dollars. Does
not this thew that the gentlemen them.
feyes have not con6dsd in the climate of
the artiit
Mr.. III. Lee explained, and faid that
he thought the mott proper plan for adop-
ton was that of Mr.. Wet !. purifying that
plan 100000 dollars might be required,
as there would beinterior arrangements to
make additional to thofe contemplated by,
the Ultimate.
Mr.. Macon iaid he thought no, 900
dollars would be Efficient. He knew not
how to reconcile srhe difference between
the Ultimate made IN Philadelphia and that
made in Wilmington; the frtf was only
$4,000 dollars; which was Il fun much
below any calculated here. He did not
pretend to any information on this lnbjeef,
and the various notifications the bill had
undergone convinced him that no member
was we'll acquainted with it. The effi-
mates differed materially from each other.
They would not therefore all be cofreet.
He could not from thefe considerations,
feel confidence in the climates of the gen
tieman from South Carolina, or the other
gentleman; for if they really poflefled
correct information, how came they 70 ra-
Ideally to differ and the committee itielf
TO propoie 70 many alterations in the orr
ginal BILL

Yok THE ALRxXNDHrA ADvERrIssR,
Remarks
Upon THE FRENCH CONVENTION.
MOI.

49," Il
cation Of the Convention between the
French Republic and the United States,
before their content to its ratification has
been either given OF denied, may be pre-
Tuned to have done 70, that the Treaty
might become the iubjeet Of diicuRion in
the public prints.
To a nation fncerely deiirous of main
tanning peace and harmony with all others,
the article Of peace, and the Everal arti-
cles concerning neutral navigation, mutt
be extremely agreeable. In diminifhing
the lift Of contraband, in guarding againa
the ,detentions and Interruptions to which
neutral commerce is liable during a mari
time war, apology has been purified high
~ advantageous to the United States, if
the Aipulations fhall be obierved with
good faith. 1t is poihble, however, that
disadvantages may De acquired attoo high
price, and itswili remain to be examined
whether Tome other parts Of the Conven-
ton are not liable to fuch Arong obiec-
tons as to render it expedient either to ra
THY 1t upon condition that certain altera-
tons 1hall be agreed to on the part of the
French government, or to reject it, and
leave the whole fubjca to be reGumed in
another negotiation.
In refpect to commerce the terms of the
POPULATIONS are vague. They do not ex-
preisly comprehend the French Welt In
dia iflands or their EaG- India doninions.
and therefore thoic are not to be confider-
ed conlprehended in the Convention
This contribution is particularly fayoured
by the eleventh article, by which our CT
tlzens are to enjoy In $ the territories ofr
French Re1adAe III Europe" all the priyi-
leges and imnunities in trade and naviea-
ton which are enjoyed by individuals Of
the mott fayoured nation-So too, the
tenth article provides for the refidence Of.
Commercial Agents in France and the
United States. Coniequently the trade
and commerce of the United States, will,
the French. Wea- Indies and French EaR !
Indies, remain at the will ard pleaiure of
OF the French government to be allowed
or difallowcd, as that government ihall
deem expedient. The terms on which our
trade to St. Domingo will be permitted
are not yetgiettled and that trade BEING
very profitable to us in employing our
hips and icamen will be relinquifhed yerv
unwlllingly on our part. Rather than re-
linquiih it, we fhall be difpofed to follow
up the prefcnt Convention, if it is rat;6-
ed, with iomc new national engagements
which France ihall deem an equivalent. or
It we do not, we may expect to be ex-
cluded from that trade whenever fuch ex-
cluhon fhall be convenient to France. Tn.
either point ofview the confequence Of ra-
flying the Convention, in regard to our
trade with St. Domingo is unpromifng of.
good.
While this objection is mentioned, it
IS not deemed of itfelf Of fuficientmoment
to juitify a rejection or modification of
the Convention, but it fought not TO be
dhregarded when other more ferrous OBJ
jeefions are weighed.
