Cotton manufactures' in this country are be

that as we can have the raw material of cotton
upon the fame term?,or better than in England,
it can be imported. The advantage of mills
and other hydraulic machines will be avail fay

Mr. Kennedy,
As the flux is now raging with
much malignancy, in many parts of
this country, 1 take the liberty of pub
lishing the following simple cure,
which after an experience of its uti
lity, for near 40 years, I will venture
to recommend as a sovereign re
medy,
Take two teafpoonsful of clean
lickory or oak ashes, quite hoc, in
naif a gill of old spirits, whilky or
milk, morning and evening. It is
feldoin neceflary to repeat it more
than two or three days.
N. B. Let the patient observe at
the time, to live on a flour diet alto
gether ; and it would contribute
much to the cure if a warm flannel
was conftamly wore next to the flo
mach. A Subscriber.

The Ship Friendship, Capt. Brice, is arrived

The ftilp George, of Boston, Silas Daggett,
master, arrived in Hampton-Road, Virginia,
the 17t!i inft. in 35 days from Cadiz—By him
we learn, that the people of Spain having ex
prefied great alarm and uneasiness at being kept
in ignorance of what was doing in France, the
Minister thought it best to allow them the liber
ty of speaking freely on political fubje&s; in
conlequence of which the French Constitution
had become the fubjeftof common conversation
in all the coffee-houfes and places of public re
sort That the King of PrufTia had withdrawn
his troops intended to ast against France, in
order to keep a watchful eye over the condutt
of the Empress ofßulTia, with regard loPoland:
That M. de la Fayette was carrying all before
him—and that wherever he penetrated into the
Austrian dominions, the people had declared in
favor of the French Constitution.
James Napper Tandy, Esq. has been acquit
ted by a Jury in Dublin, on his indi&ment for
challenging the Solicitor-General.
Very honorable notice is taken of the zeal
and indefatigable exertions of M. de laFayette,;
in a letter from Paris, in forming and difcip!in-f
ing the French army—that he may bring it to
such perfection as to be an effefhial barrier a
gainst the inroads of the Auftrians or their al
lies. These inceflant cares are however begin
ning to affect a constitution naturally strong,
and a spirit replete with enthufiafmfor the wel
fare and final eftablifhinent of the rights of man
kind. M. de la Favette eats little, and carries
an example of temperance almost to extrava
gance. Sleepless nights and toilsome days are
the lot of this a£Hv? friend to mankind —and
hifto: v will mark ' out as or.c of those few
extraordinary men who are for the human
race.

Capt. Egar, of the Molly, arrived last Thurf- j
day from Cape-Francois, in 12 days, with 22'
passengers. The disturbances at the Cape have
little appearance of ceafirg. The Commander
in Chief had given great disgust, by lending back
| the troops to Old France, which were sent out
for the defence of the iftands. The Mulattos
are in the full enjoyment of liberty, but will not
adt against the Negroes, who continue as turbu
lent as ever. They made a very desperate at
tack on Fort Dauphin, about 3 or 4 clays prior
to Capt. Egar's departure from the island, but
were repulsed with verv inconf:derable loss on
the part of the garrison, although the (laughter
of the blacks could not have been under four or
five hundred. This fort, which is situate be
tween the Cape and Fort-Crispin, is of such con
sequence, that, had it been taken, the Cape must
have inevitably fallen next. The Negro Camp
is so near the Cape, that the noifeof their firing
is heard every night. All the plantations, ex
cept one or two, are destroyed by the Negroes,
and on these they are conflantly making repeat
ed attempts.
Extratt of a letter from Cape-Francois, July 28.
u One of the government schooners brought
yesterday into our port a Spanish schooner, ta
ken by her in Maribaroufe River : the prize
had on board four guns, 4 pounders; seven t|iou
fand weight of powder, four hundred cutlafies,
and some muskets, which (he was conveying to
the rebel Negroes near the Cape.—The Captain
was on shore treatingwith them; and the crew,
consisting of 3 men, have been put in prison."
Extrafl of a Utter from Fort-Knox (Vivcennes) dated
J»it }5< >79 2 '
" I am afraid, my friend, that we {hall have
a very ugly job on hand, with this Indian war.
The Indians on this river are peaceable enough
with a great deal of watching and coaxing—
they come in here very frequently, and appear
to have a great itch for fcalpingand plundering,
and nothing, I imagine, but their concern for
the prisoners we have, restrains them from tak
ing up the hatchet.
" A few days ago, several Chiefs came in
from Opec, a place high up on the Illinois river,
and, in their speech to Major Hamtramck, told
him they were frequently invited and threaten
ed by the Miami Indians to induce them to go
to war against us, but that they had not, nor
did intend to do it. That we must keep a good
heart, for we should have a great many more
to fight this year than we had the last—wished
us success, and hoped we might give them a
good drubbing. The Major enquired whether
the Britilh made them any presents—they re
plied, that the Britifti gave them goods like
stacks of hay, provisions, arms, ammunition,
and every thing but big guns.
u Indeed, every intelligence we have receiv
ed from the Miami villages, corroborate so far
as to convince us that there will be double the
number of Indians in the field this year, there
was the last, and the British continue to supply
them with every thing they want; so that I
think a few of us will be apt to lose our hair."
F.xtraif? oj a Utter from Paris, June 11
The French nation will be free, in spite of
the number of difientions fomented even in
their aflembly, by the enemies to all liberty;
the greatest, and the far greatest part of the na
tion, being (launch to the constitution.
" I have been once to the National Aflem
bly, and was sorry to fee the want of order that
prevailed in the meeting of the representatives
of so formidable and powerful a nation as
France. Though there are many very emi
nent chara<sters among the members, it is easy
to perceive that they are divided into several
interests : some wifti to have entirely a repub
lic, others more power and more confidence in
the supreme executive ; and others (who are
the wisest) wish to preserve the constitution as
received and as eftabliftied : in fa&, some are
too moderate, and some too violent, and the
greatest diffidence exists, and not without rea
son, since the desertion of some men who had
even a great hand in the revolution : But not
zuit/ijldtiding all that, Liberty and the Rights oj Man
will pjevail."

u A number of youhg farmers (fays a cor
respondent) who are about to fettJe some new
land, would wi(h to be informed in a p6int that
immediately concerns them ; and on which, be
fore their removal, they would be glad to take
"opinions of their fellow-citizens j whether
a future Congress will perlevere in the fyftein;
of Britilh politics, and will, after the policy of
that nation, extend the Excise to Cider, Beer,
Candles, and other neceiiary articles in a fami
ly ? This question might, perhaps,with proprie
ty have been addrefied to those who have secret
ly influenced the measures of Congress, and who
are now exerting every nerve to fill the new
legislature with men devoted to avarice, and
who will humbly pursue every measure dictated
by their patrons."
As avarice is the basest pafHon that can dis
grace the character of our species, it is a molt
humiliating refle&ion that our public measures
should in this early period of our existence as a
nation, be controuled by men devoted to its in
fluence.—A correspondent observes on the a
bove paragraph from the u National Gazette"
—that it conveys the mod audacious imputati
on on the character of the people, who elected
the members of Congrefc—it is little fliort of
faying that the freedom of ele&ion is rather a
curse than a blessing—But who, enquires our
correspondent, are the men who Iwve made the
members o/Congrefs Hie tools of their avarice
—and who are the men that have thus fold
themselves to the worlhippers of mammon? Let
' their names be expoled that the people may
j know them—till this is done, such inuendoes
can pass for nothing better than the suggestions
ofabafe mind—The authors of insinuations
like the foregoing, cannot be considered as
friends of the people, of the union, or of the li
berties of this country—They may with pro
priety be ftiled incendiaries, who scatter fire
brands, arrows and death.
| Reason should govern one man—it should go
vern all men—it is opposed by pafTlon, which
'should not govern at all. When the enemies of
government address the pailions of the people,
as they inceflantly do, it is to prevent their be- j
ing governed by reafon—for the government of j
! reason is fatal to party influence.
Perfect peace and tranquility arefeldom long
enjoyed by any society or community—the peo
ple of the United States appear to have the
most favorable profpedts that were ever pre
sented to the sons of men of a long series of en
ci-eafing happincfs-—but there are men among
us who are determined to blast our hopes,
and to turn our glory into shame and contempt.
These eagle-eyed politicians are so iharp
fighted, that they can fee, as the man did thro'
the telescope, things out of fight. Nay, they
arrogate to themselves the attribute of omnis
cience, and judge not only of actions by their
falfe conceptions of things,but even of the hearts
of those who presume to have an opinion of their
own, different from their's.
It is said, that " the ambition and avarice of
some men are never to be fatisfied."—Que re,
whether those passions in any man or men, were
ever fatisfied ? But unfortunately for the coun
try, it is further said, " a few ambitious and
avaricious men, have been for some time bend
ing the whole power of the United States to
promote their private views of ambition and
wealth/'-—What a service would some men,
who are entirely diverted of these infernal pas
sions, render their country, by pointing outwith
their finger of scorn, these men of ambition and
avarice, who 4i ast as if they wished to bring
j the whole wealth and power of the country un
der their feet."—Que re, whether the " men
who have for some time been bending the whole
power of the United States," may not be said
to have it already fufficiently in their power to
put "it under their feet -Quere —What fort
of government is that where every law enadted
by the legislature thereof ought not to be obey
ed ?—Quere —What is Republicanism ?—What
a pity M'Fingal's opinion is not reducible to
pra&ice !
You (hall be vice-roys, it is true,
But we'll be vice-roys over you.
It is said, that " the civil wars of modern
Europe have been distinguished rot only by the
fierce anhnofity, but likewise by the obllinate
perseverance of the contending factions." Tne
lame remark will equally well apply to the civil
wars of every age and every country—the rea
son is obvious—personal animosities put a
keener edge on the spirit of resentment, and
the desire of revenge, than general quarrels be
tween different states, governments and king
doms—the parties are likewise more fully ap
prized of the strength and refourc«s of their re
fpciftive opponents —this circumstance reduces
them to a point of nearer equality, and serves
to prolong the contest. Further, the parties
generally contend for life, farae and fortune ;
the unfortunate principals of either fide, always
falling facrifices to the vengeance of the victors.
It is a circumllance to be noted, that in molt
civil wars, the ostensible motives are similar—
thus religion was the object in the civil wars of
France, which deluged that country in bloods or
near a century. The Protestant religion on
one fide, the Catholic on the other Aud if
Catharine, Empress of Germany, can excite a
civil war in Poland, the enemies of the revolu

that Liberty is their object.

CENTIEMEN,
DID not your Iteody attention and exertions to
promote American manuiattuii-i affoid a pleali >g
afiurance of your determined relolution to support
them ; I ihould not at this time call your atten
tion to the schemes of Tome influential characters
in the United States, which if earned into lull ef
te£f, will tend to destroy the infant manuia£turrs
of our country. You are all acquainted with the
proportion of the Secretary ot the Tieafury to
establish national manufa£tonea, and that at this
moment he is pursuing his plan with unremitted
attention. Should he be fuccefsful in this project,
to what situation will you be reduced, who are
perfonajly engaged in manufaftuies ? Will not the
exemption from militia duty, and the cxclufiVc
privileges granted to the -workmen of fucli fafto
i ies, draw off your hands ? Will not the prodigi
ous capitals of monied men, invcfled infucheftab
lifhments, enable them to monopolize all the raw
materials, particularly in the important occupa
tions of the hatter and tanner ? Will not the ex
cluAve privilege granted to the corporation ot
[establishing lottei ies to indemnity them for lodes,
enable the company to underlell and ruin every
private citizen perlonally engaged in maiiufaflures?
Will not the arbitrary and unjultifiable interference
of government in the private occupations of, citi
zens discourage young men trom acquiring the
knowledge of any occupation in which they may
be ruined by a combination of rich men enjoying
the particular patronage and protc&ion of govern
ment?
Nat. Gaz.
1 his fubjeft and ihefe questions merit your fc
rious attention. As yet you have the power in
your own hands, you ought to exert it to support
your rights.
It is the slavish do&rine of some men, " that
government has the whole property of citizens un
der its command, and that every law enacted by
(he legislature ought to be obeyed." No govern
ment on earth can be inveiled with power to vio
late those natural rightsof man, the prote&ion of
which is the sole obje£t of the inftiiution of civil
lociety, thereiore, every attempt made by the le
giflatuie to destroy them, ought to be oppoied by
a free people.
1 he ambition and avarice of some men are ne
ver to be fahsfied. A few luch characters have
been for fon>e time bending the whole power of
the United States to piomote thtir own private
views ol ambition and wealth. Not content with
the honorable name of citizen, they wilh to in
troduce diitin&ion of rank ; not content with en
joying at their cafe every advantage whieh our
country can afford, or their wealth procure, they
desire to interfere in the occupations, and tocui
tail the enjoyments of their lellow-citizens. They
a6l as if they wished to bring the whole wealth
and power of the country under their feet. May
the early oppofniou of the People of America
to the unjufl meafuresof these deluded men—may
the glorious and blessed light of the French revo
lution, aided by the writingsof the friendly clubs
in England, tend to convince them of their er
rors, and bring them to regard the rights of men
in every occupation, as sacred.

Mr. Fenno,
THE obje&ions to the law pasTed by ihc Lcgif
lature of New-Jeifey lor incorporating the lociety
inftitutcd for the promotion of Manufactures, con
taincd'in the above addrcfs, your readers may rr
j col jell to have seen in a performance signed Clitus,
which was publi(hed in the Gazette of the United
States about the time that the law was enacted.—
That speculation was firft printed in hand-bill«,and
circulated in that Stale previous to the pafling of
the law.—Let it be remembered that the establish
ment in New-Jersey is a State buftnefs—that it is
not a national inftitution—aud that the citizens of
that State are alone accountable for any confc
quences which may result from it.
It is to be presumed that the Lcgiflature of New-
Jersey knew what they were about when they
parted the ast of incorporation. Their conflitu
ents appear to think that the interefl of the State
has been consulted—and while the essential and
la fling advantage of the people can be more effeftu
aliy promoted by encouraging monied men to
combine their capitals, and come forward in un
dertakings, which, for want of funds, have never
yet flourifhed in this country —the modcjl decla
mations, and the charitable imputations of no
disappointed partizan, will, I trull, have the least
effea—unlefs, indeed, the declaimer happens not
to be a citizen of Nf w-Jersey.
