SIR,
A writer, under the ignature OF u
lyHes, in the New York Gazette OF the
18th, has prelented himlelfto the Public,
on the fubjca of the late ceAlon of Loul
hana to the French, ina letter deflgnated
No. /. He promiles to give the true
boundary of Loui6ana, in iome future
number, ard to endeavor TO prove to a
mericans, that the ceillon Of Loulflana
mutt be viewed in an agreeable, rather
than unpleafant point oflight; as it will
tend to check emigration from the Alan
tic States, and change the manners and
habits ofour people, from the purfuits ct
agriculture to manufactures that our
people are too widely extending them
felves, and ought to be kept in narrower
bounds and that the territory, at pre-
fent within the limits of the United States,
fhould frf be fully peopled, 70 as to al
low 50 inhabitants to iquare mlle.-
Would UlyGcs, to promote his private
views, cramp the genius of a nation, and
perfuade the people of the United States,
that the ferpent, which Mr.. Windham, In
the Britilh Parliament, confders as be-
ing placed at the feet of the United States,
by Louifana being ceded to France, will
not injure us, when we feel its enyenomed
fangs PIERCING our Gdes ; for lhame UIyf-
fes bluih at your ha9y opinions, IN
fulting to our nation, and dero9a'ory TO
the dignity Of our government.
You declare the object of France, land
you applaud the object, is to curb the u
nited States, and prevent them from be-
coming too powerful in America. You
FAY when they have taken poaelIion of
the two Floridas (for thefs colonies fub-
nit to the fate of Louifiana) when they
fhall have tranfp ported the mott refractory
laves from St. Domingo to St. Augufine,
or the River St. Mary, for the improve
ment of the faves of Georgia, the Caro-
linas, Virginia aud Maryland when they
ihall have the fame progrefs in the culture
of cotton and tobacco, and lhall have IN
fufed the ufual lpirit into the Greeks ard
other nieghbouring Indians, we lhall then
be ready to fpeak of them as they deierve.
Will Ulynes advile his countrymen to
wait tillIthen Will he advile the Ele-
plant to move calmly into the tolls pre-
pared for him, and wait until the hun
tiers have encircled him with their fnares,
and have ensangled him with their noofes.
before he makes any exertions for his
freedom and independence !? Forbid it,
Heaven, forbid it, Juaice and Virtue.
Not he that Thunders from the aeriel bow
6 Not Jove himelf, upon the paft has power .
Rather UIyGes let US route the appalled,
lpirits of our countrymen, and with hrm
batalions march and fuPport our ~eitern
boundary. Let the French occupy Lou
iGana wet Of the Mifiiippi, and let them
enjoy all the fweets of its mild CHI
mate and luxurient fields but LET Us re-
collect, that the power which coded Loul-
iiana to them, coded to US, the freedom of
the navigation Of the Miiiifippi. Great
Britain has alto declared It's water equal
ly free and oren to the citizens and fub-
leas of our REFLECTIVE governments. Are
thefe rights acknowledgedsby the French :
