The arrival of several veflels from A
nierica, \vith, a titnifly supply of flour
corn, Btc. &c., rtiuft afford infinite fa
ttsfaftioil to the At this
time of general scarcity. The late high
, price of flour, renders the supply of that
article the more acceptable, as from its
fearcity our native provisions bad confe-
qnently risen to so enarmous a price, as
almost reduced us to state of starvation.
In tiie present want of almolt every
thing, we contemplate with regrtt the
hij;h ptice of meals, by which the pro
vident house-keeper, and more particu
larly thole wlidfe circumllanees are nar
rowly circumscribed, mull teel most
Oar pre font peaceful intercourse with
America, mull afford us, at this time of
European warfare, great confutation, as
from that rich and fertile continent Our
WVftern colonies are supplied with the
moll ufeful and neccflary artici-rs of life :
but how long we may enjoy this valua
ble blefling is uncertain, as from some
late CongTefilonal proceedings and the
clamours of the people, there is a llrong
indication of a propenlity to break the
league of fu'endlhip. We have too for
cible an inllance in the French, of the
effidls of wild and desperate fanatacifm,
not to ftippofe any thing from Repub
lican folly ; and at the fame time that
we are flow to make political conjec
tures ; it is yet, however, a question
whether, from the capture of the French
Weft-India islands which consequently,
in cafe of a war with Great Britain,
would deprive the United States of
their greatest trade, it would be politic
in them to involve themielves in the
present contest, which we think ourselves
inadequate to decide.
CHARLESTON, July 14.
. We hear from various paits, that the
country is deluged with water from hea
vy rains. Bridges that have refilled all
freihes for ten years part, have yield
ed to the late uncommon floods. A
midst the extensive mifchicf that has
b?en done, it is with no small faiisfaftion
that we have been informed from unquef
tlonable authority, that the works of
the Santee Canal have received little or
no injury ; none of the banks have been
wa'led away or broken down. The
negroes have been interrupted in their
labors during the actual fall of rein ;
but at all other tirjies have proceeded
and are proreeding, with spirit. The
canal is uj f.ifl 'advancing, that in t:-.i

NEW-YORK, July 29.
A French author, in a recent publi
cation, entitled, " Universal Collection
of private memoirs concerning the histo
ry of France, " enters largely into the
exploits and conduct of that Virago,
commonly called the Maid of Orleans.
Amongst oth-'r curious manuscripts, ne
ver brought to light before, is the fol
lowing letier written by her, and with
a Herald at Arms delivered to the Duke
of Bedford, tVien regent of France.
" King of England, give fatisfa&ion
to the King of Heaven for the {pilling
of his royal blood ! Deliver into the
maid's hands the keys of all the towns
you have tifurped by force. She is come
in God's name to claim the right of the
blood-royal, and is ready to make peace,
if you willdo justice. King of England 1
unless you thus behave, km,W that I am
chief 111 war, wherever 1 meet ydur men
in France, if they fefufe to obey, I
(hall have them put to the sword ; if
they submit, I (hall (hew them mercy>
believe me : if they should prove refra<j
tory, the maid is sent to destroy them.
—She comes by God's ordinance to
thruil you out of the kingdom, and
pledges her word to make such an ha
vock as never was known in Franc - .' for
ten centuries palt; and be you sure that
the King of Heaven will give more
strength to her'and her valiant men at
arms, than ever vow's have (hewn in
storming an hundred places.
" As for ye) English archers» brave
and courageous men at arms, who now
are before Orleans, go ye back to your
own country, otherwise beware of the
Maid, and be the consequence on your
own head. Do not fondly imagine to
hold the sceptre of France, by the per
mission of God the foil of Mary. It (hall
be the property ot King Charles, the
lawful heir to whom God hath decreed
it, and who will force his way to Paris
in good company. If yoti disbelieve the
information from God and the Maid,
woe betide you wherever wt (hall meet,
and then (hall be leen whose fight is b«ft,
God's or vour's.
"Ye William de la Pole, Earl of
Suffolk, John Lord Talbot, and Tho
mas Lord of Seaiefi, .Lieutenants to the
Duke of Bedford, (tiling himfelf regent
of this kingdom for the King of Eng
land, answer me ; will you give peace
to the city of Orleans ?—lf not, beware
of the losses ye (hall entail upon your
selves.
" Duke of Bedford! the Maiden
treats and requests that you will put an
end to hostilities ; if you do not com
ply, (he will so behive, that the Punch
will perform such feats of valor as never
were recorded in the annals of Christen
dom."—Wtitten theTuefday in Passion

words :—" Lend an ear to the tidings

War creates a ferocity of manners.
It holds out such objects of glory and
ambition, as the moll unpoliihcd minds
n-viy feixe with little difficulty, and thus
perverts our ufeful pafiions by ennobling
our vices, and every where fubllituting
force in the place of justice.
The fir ft Itep toward accomplishing
the happiness of mankind, (hould be tM
lengthen the duration of peace, and les
sen the frequency of war.
. Monarchy, like nobility, which is the
support of monarchy, to be refpe&able,
should be anoenti From a fortunate
experience of authority, and from a fet
tled habit of obedience, rriay arise a kind
of conftitjition, which, in the end, be
comes almost unalterable; because ther
is a point, beyond which the materials
of a republic exilt no longer in a mo
narchy ; while the materials of a mo
narchy ekiit always in a republic.
A love for their country, popularity,
and generoflty, were virtues common to
the ancients ; but true philanthropy, a
regard for public welfare, and general
order, are fentimnnts to which the prill
ages were absolutely ftrangeis. How,
indeed, could ftich fentitlients have ex
iftcd among men, accultomed from tlieir
infancy to behold thousands of gladia
tors, mutually slaughtering One another,
and perilhing amid even the acclamati
ons of the women ? Snch exalted feel
ings as these could never have anirriated
a peoplej who so frequently saw prison
ers of war; chiefs and kings, publicly
conduced, in pursuance of a decree, to
execution, aind completing by their
deaths the feftivitjr of ai tiiumph.
The rife and tall of empires may be
ranked among thole events which, al
though commou, do not cease to be re
markable. Inspiration only could have
difcoveredj that the primitive R.omans,
a vile and abjtct people, were deftincd
to clear the path, which conducted their
future race to the sovereignty of the
world. If in the days of Julius Caesar,
a Roman augur had pretended, that his
birds informed him, that the diilant def-
of the dictator, and his invinci
ble countrymen, (hould be emasculated,'
and sing upon a stage, before the poste
rity of the conquered Britons, instead of
being reverenced as a prophet, he would
have been stoned as a madman.
If we delire to know what, in gene
ral, is the condition of the inhabitants
of the world, we need only inform our
selves, whether the number of cultivated
lands be augmented or diminilhed.
However writers may have been se
duced by the liveliness of the imagina
tion, or the fubtilty of the underitaud
iiig, to queltion whether the sciences
were advantageous to mankind, ftich
frequently affected doubts can be refer
red only to the comparison between hu
manity in a Hate of nature, and huma
nity in a social state. In either cafe it
mud be acknowledged, as an eftaolilhed
principle, that man cannot, in his social
capacity, be too enlightened. Placed
A'ithin a physical, political, and moral
fyltem, a (mail part of one great whole,
his duties arise from his relations ; and
that being will be laid to have reached
the height oi moral peifection, who (hall
have fully comprehended in what man
ner he ought to co-exilt wit's the reft.
Caprice is to be condemned, when it
is the vice of inferiors; but it is much
more dangerous when it has infected
those who govern. They ir.iift be care
ful to arm themselves against th.it impa
tient temper, which fiets at trifling at
tacks. The fermentation of dilcourfet
and writings is inconvenient, but not
atarming. C-. mwelldid not write Nor®
Britons, nor did Jaques Clement (who
aflaffinated Henry 111. of France) write S
political pamphlets.

FROM their name, the Democratic
Society are naturally iuppofed to be the
advocates for a Semocratical form 'of go
vernment. 1 lie Title ought always to
correspond with the EiTence. For in
ftanee, if a man hangsalhoe maker's
fignovei his door, yon will naturally sup
pose there are fh'oes within, and none
but a fool will go sii to enquire whether
the man has any buckles for sale : Jull
so with the Democratic Society ; theii
title declares that they are for Democra
cy ; no man of sense would go among
them to look for arguments in favor of
Repiefcnta; ion, because they are demo
crats s and what is democracy i It is a
government where the people in their
individual capacity afiemble and make
laws ; where theie is not the lfaft ves
tige of Representation, where the peo
ple,, in ihort themselves, peiform all
those funftiuns, which in America are
delegated to their Representative}.—
An attempt has been made, artfully to
jumble the terms Democratic, and Re
preientative, and so to confound thetn
as to make them seem of one meaning ;
while they resemble each other as little,
perhaps, as a chefnut-bur does an eye
stone. This aflertion is founded on an
unquestionable authority, —" The
Rights of Man in the second part of
which Mr. Paine fays, " Mri Burke
is so little acquainted with the conititu
ent principles of Government, that he
confounds Democracy and Representa
tion together 1 Representation WSs a
thing unkrtown in ancient Democracies,
in tliofc the tnafs of the people met and
enacted laws (grammatically fpeaklhglin
the firft person. Simple Democracy
was no other than the common Hall of
the ancients. It fignifies he Form as
well as the public principles of Govern
ment, as thefc Democracies increased in
population, and the territory extended,
the fmple democratic forms became un
weildy and impracticable. And-a9 the
[ System of Representation was not ktioWn
| the consequence was> they either de
i generated convulflvelv into Monarchies,
I or became absorbed intci such as then ex
| ilted. Had the fyfteih of reprefenta
: tiort been then understood, as it now is,
' there is no reason to ftippofc, that those
( forms of government, now called mo
; narchical, or ariftocratical would ever
I have taken place."
Tliealilhor of the Rightsof Man un
der flood the true diftin&ion between dif
fererit fbrmsi of government-, and had
by his reading found that all the ancient
Democracies ended in Monarchy ; on
this account ho fee ins to detelt the
former as much as the latter. There
fore founding my aflertion upon the o
piriion of this famous philanthfvpiit,
that our government can by no manner
of found conltructir.n, be deemed detno
cratical ; and as it has been clearly and
concisely Hated in the preceding quota
tion, what has been the unerring fate
of Democracies, I trust there is no one
who lias the welfare of his country at
heait, will advocate a mode of govern
ment which mult inevitably end in the
misery and opprelfion of the people.
Shall we my countrymen, who have so
nobly (haken off the tyrannical monar
chal y >ke, introduce a system which
we all labor to suppress ? No—let us ra
ther ftiudder at, and execrate every at
tempt which has the least tendency to
produce a ki.igly government in this
country ; and let us by all means, dif
cou'rage an inttitution, whose very name
avows, that its members have thiii ob
je£t in view.
Our Federal Constitution is a system
which approaches as near to perfection
a£ any that ever existed. We have not
among us the blood fucker of a nation,
a king—our Federal compadt exprtfsly
declare! against nobility, and confe
queutly ariftoeracy. We have no Hand
ing armies in time of peace, that ma
chine of arbitrary power to atre the
people into submission. We are not
opprelTed by heavy taxes ; these howe
ver may in feafoni more tempestuous
than the present, become necefiary ;
and 1 triiil that whenever they do, the
people will chearfully give in their aid
for defraying the <#xpences of govern
ment, as the price of their political
hapf>inefs. We fee no teftraint upon
the liberty cf the : we have no
trials for sedition or the circulation of
Libels: but we have a Conßitution
which is the production of the greatest
human wisdom : its branches are so apt
iv proportioned, that in it the people
can fee nothing but a protection to their
liberties, and their properry. Let us
then continue to support this grand and
noble ftrufture—this lofty edifice reared
by .the hands of Wisdom, Virtue, and
Patriotism ; and whenever any hostile
aim, either within, or from without
threatens iU deftrudtion, let us like
brave Americans, rally round it, and
if wc cannot defend it with Fuccefs, like
Sampson let us bury ourfelvesii; its ruins.
We have a reprt fentativegovernment;
■'the bed mankind is capable of enjoy- ,
>ng. We clioofe our reprefentativej
once in two years, and then is the time
to diicufs with freedom their refpedtive
ir.er.ts or 1 demerits. If by their con
duct, they have shewn themselves wor
thy of our confidence, let us re-e!e&
them, unlcfs that lepublitan principle,
a rotation in office, requires a change,
if they have by their public proceed
ings evinced themselves unworthy of
our Fuffrages let us reject them ; but if
in their political courFe, they do that
which is not perfectly consonant to the
interest of the people, if we find them
to be actuated by corrupt motives—
while we detest the man, let us respect
our elected Representatives ; For whoe
ver at any such time abu Fes him abu Fes
his conftituenis. We eledi perFons to
make laws for us : we give to them all
our lcgiflati\e powers—what Folly then
that clubs should be formed sot the ex- ;
press purpose oF deliberating upon pub
lic business, when the people have alrea
dy ele&ed others to this duty ! Is it not
uFurpation ? is It not an unwarrantable
afiumption oFpower ? is it not a diredlaf-
Fertion that the great body oF the people
are incapable oF felefting proper rulers ?
will it not have the efFedft to destroy the
repreFentative fyltcW, iF men Felt-con
stituted, take, or ?ttempt to take the
reins oF government into their hands,
no{ only without the conFent, but a
gainst the people's will, expressed in
their ejection oF other perFons ?—For'
shame! ye FalFe pretended patriots,
hide your heads in the dud oF FelF a
bafemetlt, and like the prodigal Fon
cor.Fels and Fay " Father we h4ve Fin
ned !" Futufe ages will look with an
eyeoF contempt upon the impotent eF
forts of the Democrats to absorb all
power : the present generation behold
you with indifference—they smile at the
venom you call for' h—-they regard not
what your felf-coriftituted tribunals Fay ;
beeauFe they agree with Paine, that
" all delegated poWer is truss, and all
afiumed power is uFurpation"—that
" Government is not a trade which any
man or body oF men has a ;(ght to Fet
up, and exerciFe for their cten emolu
ment t but is altogether Struct, in
right of thoFe by whom th-tf trnfl is de
legated, and hy whom it is always re
fumable." Thus Fpeaks Paine—thus
speaks ReaFon—and thus Fpraks every
REPUBLICAN.
