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

Wealth of t'le rcpul'lic by going to war ? That

[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. U'
