CONSTANTINOPLE, July 3 i.
The mail, which we expcflefl on the 18th in ft.
3 did not arrive antil the 23d, and you may easily
13 conceive how much this circumstance txcited the
euriofiiy both of the Otturoan tniniftry and the
whole Diplomatic corps, and made every one ex
tremely uneasy. After the letters were given out
we learnt, that the two Jt-mfTafiei, who according to
cuilotr- were charged with carrying the tnail Tram

clofcly pursued within a small distance from the ad

;o | however, adroit enough to save ihe mult important

j ii the evil cuftota hert to fend by this conveyance,
and which attradi the rapacity of the thieves and
rogues in that quarter. This occurrence, however,
has spread -here great alarms with refpett to th • fu
ture fafety of the mails, rtoiwithllanding the Porte

by the Beglierbey, on account of which, we under.

most efforts for a speedy extirpation of the bandit*

number, inflead of decreallng, does daily encreafe,
which renders them more infolervt and enteiprifing.

id. infant ir.llitution#, and then ths furious tyrant would

nt more prolonged than that which marked the tran-
Jt lient feign of the triumvirate.
-e, "It will tinfoil, that had it not been for this
n< ] day Frenchmen would never have enjoyed the full

: Ll . social slate ; equality would not hare exitted, that
eqnality of rights which renders all the public fnnc
0f tions accessible to every citizen. That equality
which assures to us the corvftitution of 1795 ; a

h. cution of the laws, and security to persons and

Ie " But, citizens ! it is not fufficient ta have eom

, e would be your l»t were it ta periflj ? Shame and
misery ! The mean* of perpetuating it is in our
own hands.
" Would we be afTured that the throne of ki;igs
le shall never rife amonglt us—let us pull down the
ie throne of vice ! let us eredt the ihione of virtue !
„ " Let all the affc&ions of nature, which corrup

their empire. Let all the foft lies of social rela

to which ambition has attached lo much value. Let

to the glare of falfe talents, and the brilliancy of

" It is by moderate de(ires —by the pri&ice of

oth For example—ln speaking of the impolicy of
otfc. increasing the population of the United States, by
age encourjging the introdu&ion of foreigners," in page
leir 93 of his Notes on Virginia, he observes, that so.
:s. reigners will infufe into our government their fpirir,
tor kc. by waiting some years longer, our government
the will he more homogeneous, more peaceable, mare
out durable. He then adds, " Suppose * twenty mil
>ers " lions of republican Americans, thrown all of a
ave " sudden into France, what would be the condition
our " of that kingdom ? If it would be more turbulent,
uld " left happy, left flrong, we may believe, that the
uid " addition of half a million of foreigners to our
an- " present numbers, would produce a iimilar effect
" here."
his Now, it is evident, from the above extract, that
■nil Mr. jejferfon believed that a monarchicalgovci nment
the was the bell suited to Fiance, and that lending
:iat there twent) millions vf republican Americans would
nr. .render France more turbulent, less happy, and left
ity Jlrong, If he thought thai twenty millions of A;ne

He- republicans r.:i the gu>*«e) wonlfl t&ftrgeinijt France,
nd and diminifb her happiness and her flrength', he mult
Lial have been fiillv that thirty millions of
or French republicans (who, with all their merit*, are
mi certainly inferior to 'he Americans in thefcience of
he felf-gotcrninent) would produce those effe&s n a
to much greater degree.
a An opinion in favour of monarchy, if then very
cafily inferred from the foregoing pa (Page.
:t, In page 126, of the fame work, in enumerating
ed whit he calls the capital defers of the eonftitutioii
:re of Virginia, he complains bitterly of the esriftrnc
fo tion ot the fertile, as not being fufficiently arijte
ce cratic, although the members are chosen for four
)e- years, as long a period as in any state in the Union,'
)i. except Maryland. But he complains, because the'
senate, and the ele&ors of the senate, do not con
stitute a different inleref} from the reft of the com
it mumty. He fay s , «« The senate is, by it* confliiu.
,ai " tion, too homogeneous wilh the haufe ot delegates;
nd " beingchofen by the lame electors, at the fame time,
Ur "and out of the fame fukjedt, the choice falli of
" course, on men oj the jumi description. The pur
gj " pofeof eftablilhirrg different houses of legation
he " is, to introduce the influence of different interefls or
" different principles. In some of the American
p. ' liates, the delegates and fe.iators are so- chosen,
o- "as that the firil rsprefent the perfens, and the fe
ne " cond the property f of the state: but, with us,
la. " wealth and lufdom have an equal chance for ad
os " million into both houses. We do no? therefore
•c- " derive, from the fcparationof" our lcgiuature into
i», " two houses, those benefits which a proper complies.
!cs " *>m ofprinciples is capable of producing, and those
, et " which atone can compensate the evils which may
e d "be produced by their dilß-ntt'ons."
of Now can there be a ftrcnger recommendation of
arijlocracy and privileged orders than we find in this
paffaee? He wifnea td> fee introduced into (he con.
»t- liitution of Virginia, an liflveye o( interefls differ-

to cabs the people) a>.d to eltabliih a permanent con
— ftitu.'ional Reparation of two orders of people, o«
y- different principles * one to be rep refer ted by the
ve Senate, the other by the Delegates,- he wilhtsto
>a have wealth altogether re] pv* fen ted m the Senate,
e- and wisdom in the other ho-nfe, and laments that
:r " -wisdom has an equal chance with -wealth of admif
(ion into the Senate. What is all this but an efla
blifhaient of privileged orders a :d of an arifiucracy '
of of the rankelt kind r The ■wealth of the state is to
0- continue a separate class, to be represented exclu-
Jively in a senate, the members of which are to be
f<> elected by a separate class, a fenue which is to he
cc organized on different prirriples, ond which is to
•d maintain* an influence of (frjjerent inter efts from those
ts 9 f the reft of the focietv. SUcli a having
al an equal participation ot the IcgiHative power with
the poorer repielentatives of the poorer class, would

rl - ciacy, like that of Venice, Is,thetc any dißinc-
s i tion, tfxeept in names, between a privileged order 9
re and a dillinft clifo of men enabled by their polTef
fion of wealth and a branch of the legislature to
maintain a separate influence in the Itate .''What in
fa£t is a privileged order but a separate clafsofraen,
re P°lffft n K by law exclusive privileges ? What did
Mr. fefferfon wish to cllablifh"in Virginia ?—— 4< a
separate and privileged class, compoftd cf the
wealthy, p«2"cfGnjj by law an influence, different
1 from that of the reft us the people, and excluftvely
represented in the Senate ? He was therefore an
advocate for privileged orders, and I defy any of
his chatnpioqs to produce any fiagment from Mr.
Adams's book, so pointedly in favor of privileged
ft orders, as applicable to the United States, as the
Is foregoing quotation from Mr. J. fferfon's.
>r All ar'tfiocracy of -wealth being thus established
d by law, titles would follow of course ; it matters
little whether such a Virginia frnator, as Mr. Jef
1, ferfon wilhed to create, was to be lliled honorable,
