By the Prcpdcnt, THOMAS JEFFERSON. THE TABLET. " It is an infallible confcquence of all industrious profeflions,to beget frugality, and make ihe love ofgain prevail over the love of plcafure." ACTIVE property usually centers in those pla es, which art rather than nature has made rich. There is scarce any thing more ri diculous than for an indolent man toboaft of na tural advantages asafource of wealth. The most fertile foil and mildest climate will never con fer opulence on an indolent people ; nor can any defeat of natural resources hold an industri ous people in poverty. That superiority which one nation maintains over another in point of uleful wealth, and operative strength, is the re sult of art and industry. Men will not fnbjetft themselves, in the firft instance, to severe labor, unlefe their situation renders it unvoidable. Prompted by necessity, they become industrious; and when they are accustomed to it, they will choose to be so from habit. When industry cea ses to be irksome, men begin to grow rich. As foonas the lave ofgain obtains an ascendency o ver the love of idlenels, men will acquire more than they have occasion to consume. Property colle<fted in this way will seldom be expended in folly and extravagance ; becaule if a man had been disposed to be foolifh and extravagant, he would not probably have been industrious. While any one is in the habit of industry he will of course be frugal, and by this means frugality will likewise become an habit. The Ikill and contri vance that grow out of experience will render labor more productive; but the increase of ad vantage will not abate the ardor of exertion. Weinuft therefore look to that part of a nation where industry is moftprevalent, for aciive wealth, and for the best accommodations of living. L. C. De MONTMORIN. (L. S.) THOMAS JEFFERSON. (L.S.) No. CIV. In those parts ot a country, to which nature lias been liberal, people content themselves with few improvements of art, because they have never been compelled by necelfiry to rife above that indolence of character which makes men naturally prefer an easy life to a ufefulone. NEWSPAPERS 'AN EXTRACT. T WAS not a little pleased, the other day, upon A paying a visit at the house of a person of dif tincuon in the country, to find the family aflem bled round a large table, covered with maps, and globes, and books, at the upper end of which fat a young lady, like a young profeflor, reading from the chair. In her hand llie held a newspa per. Ilei father told me he had long accustomed her, while reading one of those vehicles of intelli gence, to acquaint herfelf with thefeveral towns and countries mentioned, by turning to the names in Salmon's Gazetteer, and then finding them out upon the globe, or a map ; in which Ihe was become so great a proficient, as to be at that time in truth giving a letfture in geography to her younger brothers and filters. It was his farther intention he said, that from Campbell's Present State of Europe, Hie should acquirc a iufficient knowledge of the history of the kingdoms around us, as well as our own, to form an idea of their importance and interests refpeiftively, and the relation each bears to the reft. Verily, thought I to myfelf, this is reading a newspaper to some purpose. Childnen, very early in life, are eager for the fight of the newspaper. By being called upon in a free and easy way, for some little account of what is in it, they may gradually be brought to read with attention, and to fix upon those articles which are mod worthy of notice ; as alfe to re member what they have read, from one day to anot her, and put tilings together. VV hile we are in the world we must converse with the world ; and the conversation, in part, will turn on the news of the day. It is the firll fubjecfl we begin upon, as a general introduction to every thing else. All mankind, indeed, are our brethren, and we are intei efted, or ought to be interested, in their pleasures and their pains, their fufferings, or their deliverances, throughout the world. Accounts of these (hould produce in us suitable emotions which would tend to the ex ercise of different virtues, and the improvement of our tempers. We (hould accustom ourselves hereby to rejoice with those who rejoice, and sym pathize with those who mourn. European Intelligence. BRUSSELS, January 8. AN adtion, a few days ago, was fought in the Ardens, between the Patriotic and Imperial troops, the former amounting to 16000 men, un der the command of General Vander Merfch, the latter to but 2000, commanded by either General Dalton, or by General Bender. Yet, as another proof, how inefficacious undisciplined valour is in the present improved state of tadiics, General Vander Merfch was routed, with the loss of 1 joo men, and, as report fays, obliged to retire to wards Nainur ; 5000 men were immediately sent from hence to join him at Arlon, and as they were all of them deserters from the Imperial ar my, weil disciplined, and good soldiers, thegreat efl: expectations are formed of their success. LONDON, Feb. 6. The Viceroy of Mexico has transmitted home a packet to Spain, containing several letters, and other papers, which had been taken out of some English, Portuguese, and Ruffian veflels, to the number of 36 fail, by a Spanish frigate, which had met the said fleet in S. lat. 40 degrees, going as is foppofed to found a colony. The Captain of the Spanish frigate had also taken the Com mander of the fleet. Extratt of a letter from Ghent, of the $th January, 1790, to a gentleman in Liverpool. "We are well advanced, and hope soon to ai ;ive at the liberty which you enjoy. Our mo narch has done many thingslcoritrary to his oath to the llates of the low Countries at his inauguration, which has been proved in a proclamation made yesterday, from a theatre ere<fted for the pur pose in the great market place, where there met about jo,ooo people, whose cries were all for the states and liberty, so that we look on all to be con cluded, and think that your court and that of Berlin, with Holland, will interfereif neceflary." Contrary to that idea, which gives consequence to inoft European States, the Americans pique themselves upon having no (landing army or hea vy navy. They rely on their own internal llrength for protection in cafe of war, and are, in the mean time freed from the burthens of permanent taxes. They are at present employed in a great nati onal undertaking, that of cutting through an ex tent of 40 or 50 miles across the country, to one of their great lakes, which will unite several large rivers, and communicate with the Ohio, a circumstance that will be highly favourable to navigation and commerce. 415 NEW-YORK, APRIL 10. A correspondent observes that as revenue is not a fubjecft of Rhetoric—but of Arithmetic he lias been puzzled at the long declamations' which have been made on the bulinels in acertain house The principles laid down by the Secretary of the Treasury in the introductory part of his re port, being admitted, as they have been ahn«ft universally—the business of finance rcfolves it. lelfinto calculation-, this being the cafe, it is hardly possible that any eflential errors Ihould be committed ; if any Ihould take place they mult be voluntary. The government of the United States being now organized—the several executive depart ments tilled, the influence of the laws, bein<r felt—and their salutary effects generally real ized, universal content pervades the union and the profpecfi is, that our country will enjoy a long continuance of peace.—lf the public tran quility is secured, it is hardly pofhble to conceive how rapidly our resources will encreafe, and with what facility our debts will be discharged when they lhallonce be funded ; from that 'mo ment, the real weight of the burden will begin to diminifti ; and there can be no doubt on the mind of any unprejudiced person, that tho a pub lic debt, is in itfelf, not eligible, yet in the pre sent circumstances of our country, a circulation of property will be the consequence of funding that will give a universal spring to industry ; & a circulation that would not be induced from a'nv other cause whatever ; a circulation, which will facilitate every mechanical, agricultural and commercial operation ; a circulation, the want of which, is the source of every embarraffinenc under which the above important interests at pre sent labor.
