MINUTES For Amsterdam, For the Gazette of the United States' M*. Fenno, The following article, lately appeared in a Baltimore paper—it contains obfer valions pertinent to the present poiture of affairs in the United States. Ob servations which in my opiniou, are more worthy of attention, than the contents of a. thouUnd columns of Eu ropean intelligence—we reprobate trans atlantic connections, politics and man ners in appearance—but what is the fact ? If we could receive an uninter rupted supply of European Newspa pers, it may be doubted whether it would appear from the American pvb lications, that the people of the Unit ed States, exiftcd as a nation ; or had a government, or any independent in terests of its own. C. from the Maryland Journal Tj|TE (hall take the conversation of to»day VV froth the work of a celebrated modern autrtar, varying only in a few particulars from the original. The young Lyjis had li-ftened to the declama tions of the fophiits against public meafurcs and the raoft virtuous members of the Republic, tijl he conceivcd himfelf qualified to manage its af fairs. My son, said Apollodore, I learn that you burn with a desire to reform the laws and change the adminiftratiou. I wifli n, replied Lyiis, he&a tingly. It is a beautiful projeil, said his father, to give to the republic better laws than it enjoys at pcefent,. and more virtuous men to conduct its affairs than those who have served it with to much celebrity in its molt disastrous periods, and so much prudence and wisdom fmce being veiled with Civil authorities. If it succeeds yeu will be enabled to be ufeful to yout relations, to your friends and to your country. The Repub-' lie will no longer confiderSo/an as the wisest. ie gifldtor, noi Arijlides as the juiteft citizen. At these words theyoung roan trembled with joy. To accomplith that ooji 61, continued A poilodore, will it not be nectary to carry i»to the General Assembly a great variety ot infor mation, and to have rendered eminent services to the republic, in order to obtain ibe confrdt nee of the people ? Without doubt, said Lyfx\ What services then, replied his fatter, have you ever rendered the people, that they fhouJd withdraw their confidence from those wbo nave served it,- to repose it in you, who have not ?■ Lyfir was si lent to prepare au anlwer. After waiting .tonic moments his father continued, you do noi raqk among your ufeful information, wtiat you have collected trom the declamations ot the fophilfs, nor the facility with wnich you can repeat tin i infiriuat-ions. If you believe whit ther fay,, you; must be in pafleflion ot the proofs upon whiqh they fu port it. Lysis seemed disconcerted he had never heard of the pfoofs. But waving this point, said Apollodor*?, if the matter was t© piV mote the welfare of a mercantile houle, would fir ft think how you could fupflifh it Wjth a capital, and establish its credit : In like, man ner, you would think of serving the state by Tn creafingits wealth, ana establi sh ng its credit, such is my idea, said Lysis. Tell me then the amount ot the revenue of the repnblic ; upon what obje&s this jevenue is raised ; whether it fervesto encourage ifiduftry ; whether some oh : jefls are not too highly MXt'd {Whether diners: might not be rendered more productive ; or whciher ir would not be to the advantage of the| repub'ic to derive the whole revenue from othej •ol»j*6b than those which at present produte it ? -You have no doubt* fully considered thefepoirits. No, my father, I have never thought of them, Thcfe things have not occupied the You know at lead o pnrpofesthe revenue is£J>plied, and certainly your intentiqn is tci dimmish alt Improper expenditores. I canrtoj i fay that I have clearer $deas upon this acticlet The sophists tell )ou, said Apollodore, that the public debt consumes a. great part of the revenue 1 and think- that those tef'whom the Republic gavs its bond% ought to hrfve received the money due upon them, and not the persons to whom they have been aftigrjed. You uuderftand tfiis pit* tin&ion no doubt. Clearly said Lysis. Yoti can resolve me the pubiic would have been less taxed by paying the one in-pre ference to the oth<_r. Lysis was again silent. Since, Lysis, jyou know so little concerning the receipts or el penfes of government, Jet us renourtce, for tjhe the d'efigtl of procu ringnew wealth to ttle rtptiblic by entreating th« one 01 dMniniOiing the othel. But, my-fa thei t woujd it not be possible to cnci*afe thfc Wealth of t'le rcpul'lic by going to war ? That would depend on the advantages gairted over the enemy/, and the richriefs ot the countries > you niighu conquer compared with the wealth which thic republic must expend in " t'hefe s ; hot to obtain them, and be j fore detf Vinininc on War, is it' not neceiTaty t<j ? calculate the force which you can employ a - epemy, afcertaia the fo«cp which he caf.i oppofc to yours. ; ; 4 ' -'' j fafe <■ [Whole No. 515.5 Ycuare sight, said Lysis. Tell me then what is the state of our army and marine, whether ic ought to be increased, and how in time of war the money is t* be raised to maintain it. You will inform me also of the troops and vejels of the enemy. I cannot recipe to you the whoJe at once, faidLyiis. Perhabs you have it in writing, I ftouM be vefy glad to fee it. No I have not. I presume then that you have not yet time to apply you! fell to Inch calculations had the fit uaiion of our frontiers has without doubt attra&t d your attention : you know the number of foldieis we maintain in the different posts; You know also that certain points arc not fuffi ciently defended, and that there are others afe folutcly without defence ; you will of confe rence urge in the General Aflembly the necef «ty to augment this garrison and reform that, replied Lysis, I (hall fay that the whoie ought to be disbanded ; they have not difchar- their duty. And how are you fare that our defifes arc badly guarded ? Have you been upon the ground ? No, but I conjecture it. Ic is propei then to re-consider this matter, and in place of conjctture to have certainty. You have heard that the commerce of the Re public by the pillars of Hercules, is gteatly in terrupted by pirates. Do you think that the ft»te ought to fit out some gallies to protefl it in thole few? I think, said that it will be much better to refirain it. But as the republic lias no gold and silver mine* to refori to,—. you are aware that the only legal way in which it can obtain money to supply its wants or pro mote internal mduilry is by trade ; In these mo* dern times the power and prosperity of a ftaie depenas greatlyon its wealth, and that wealth uporiitt commerce. If you rcttrift the latter you unavoidably leflen the former. Alas ! my father, one would never be a politi cian if it is necessary to attend to all these details. 1$ there a head of * house, replied Apollodore, who does not watch inceflantly over the wants of his family and the means to fupplythem ? Byt if all these frighten you, fup'pofe in place of un dertaking the care of BtfD,ooo families (the a mount of those of the Republic), you were to try whether you can put in order your uncle's, house, whole affairs you know are in very bad condi tion. I could bring it about immediately if m y uncle would follow my advice. And can you sincerely believe, Lyfi , that all the Athenians t your uncle included, would be more easy to be persuaded ? Beware, beware my son, left a vain love of being distinguished by the capricious multitude fl-oujd make you gather Jhame instead of laurels. Are you not conscious how impru dent and dangerous it would be to undertake tbe great interests of a state without undc rftanding them ; and how mueh you would have been ri diculed had any other oerfon but a fa' her been a witness .0 your folly ? Numerous examples will teach ycru, that io offices the most injpoj d ijt, admiration and efleem are the fiuit of knowledge arid wi/dfim, blame and contcmpt of ignorance and pre emption. , Lysis took leave of his father, and rejoined the declaimers, who excited the multiude to difor* and difQbedience, the fliortcft road tqpo pularity and aJhare in the adrninijlrahon. 1 fhutahook vyh'ch I, never open without re ceKrhg inftfu&jota, to feik amusement in tjie convf rfa:K>n of my fellow-citizens. I listened, and he*rdtn all companies, complaints on tVie depredations on our trade, by the fubje&s of powers who woyld have the United $tafa to con fiderthem as Jriendh-, but among iht various modes of Felief, which were eiery whece fi|g gefted, none of them seemed to me capable of oi>taining^ij/2*cror affording prQlcttion. * The: prcfcot is rartainlv a critical moment to thiscpuntry, and the afpqfl aflvmed by Qrcat llritain well calculated to lead to hostilities. Admitting, hoWever*, the Spoliations of her ft*b : je&s to have been authorised by 'heir coart, still by prudence* and£rwK(/i, and solid, preparations, we may compel and a«ert wa< ? b>ut to procure the one and prevent the other,, it v_ill be absolutely necessary to combine and employ thfrwholeefficacy of these several agents. Our tyi'l leatj us pot to a(k too much ; our fiimnefs not to relax from what is right ;afid Qur preparations to enforce our demands. The general is no dpybt cpnne&ed with the preservation of peace ; nothing there fore, fhduld be which may coWdice to Hw end ; nor any thing attempted which might rashly disturb it ; but a$ fubftanti-al pre parations to repel hoftiliiies and obtain juflice, have always becrf found one of tho rpoft eitefiu al means which a nation can employ tb war, it becomes therefore the general intertft, that provisional military preparations ftiould be entered into with a spirit and Vigour propor tioned to the cafe. But in filch a situation of things,, may we not fafely Vejpdfc jri the tneafures which may adopt, and upon the wiCdom .of our exe cutive, to tfrpnf latod to -avert the storm, or direst it against jhofe on whom it ought to lall. In the mean while are W-e Aot fctiund citizens, to conrfuft ogrfelve* ifjjdiyiiduilly, according to .the firift rules of nftfrfllttjli UH fab tiW* a? declare us no longer at peace ; for unless haviour of corr'efprihd s w'ifH Vha't of government, all attempts ot the latter ro pre vent war must become abortive. ; V.
