Let us resume this view of the fabjert. The

.A tie a.i'miti-ig principle of our foreign commerce.
This ever/ merchant knows and feels ; —and c*ery
intilligf it -n-rchint is sensible that for many years
"-3k to cafe uraft continue the fame. This,
in our lit nation, i«,a peculiar reason of the utmoll
foiee, for renouncing the pre'enfio* ia question.
Hi- c<»ti"tle of it, or tne serious apprehenfipn
Of its cxercife, would neceftanly have one of two
etfe&s -It wou.d deprive our merchants of the
% credir, so important to then*) or it would oblige
them to pay a premium for it proportioned to the
opinion of t!«« risk. Or to speak more truly, it
would combine the two efFeil* 5 it would cramp
credit, and fubje£l what was given to a.high pre
mium. The moll obvious and familiar principles
of human a&ion edablifh, that the confederation
for money or property, lent or credited, is moder
ate or otherwise, according to the opinion of Secu
rity or hazard, and that the quantity of eitlver to
be obtained, on loan or credit, is in a great degree
contra&td or enlarged by the fame rule-
Thus should we, in the operations of our trade,
pay exorbitant!) syr Ti pretention, which is of little
value, or rather which is pernicious, even to the re
lations to which its utility is referred. What folly
to cherifli it! How much greater the folly ever to
think of exercising it. It never can be escercifed
hereafter in our country, without great and lading
mifchief.
Inll«ad of cherishing so odious a pretension, as
" our bed our only Weapon of defence," —Wisdom (
admonifhe* us to be eager to cast it from us, as a ;
weapon molt dangerous to tke wearer, proscribed |
by the laws of nations, by the laws of honor, and j
by evety principle of found policy.
Every merchant ought to desire that the mod j
perfeift tranquility, on this poirit, in foregn eaun- j
' tries, should facilitate to him on the bed and cheap
ell terms the credit for which he has occasion; And
1 every other citizen Ought to defirej that he may be
thus freed from a continual contribution in the en
hanccd price of every imported commodity he con-
towards defraying the premium which the
want of that tranquility is calculated to generate, j

We congratulate our fellew-citizenj on the dis
appearance of the fata! ferer which has so lrng af
flicted thjs city. It gives us peculiar pleafute to
take our returning brethren by the hand, and <0 ,
fee btifinefs, activity and cheerftllnefs, reviving.—
We felicitate oorfelves thai the disease did notge- |
nerally aflume that deadly afpeft, which has cha- |
, rafterized it in lome other parts of the Uni'ed j
States, and that it did not extend its defeating
efFects to eVery part of the city. Nearly one half
the city has either wholly escaped, or experienced
only nere and there a fcuttered cafe. It has also
been marked with a lefn degree of contagion, than

gable attention to the fiek deiertet our warmed
praise) the clergyj and other attendants, having
generally escaped.
We trull, in a.few days, to fee people from the
country visiting the city without apprehension, as
they may undoubtedly do it without danger.
At Shaftfbnry, in Vermont, a meeting of re
! prefentatives from sundry towns in Bennington
county, Timothy Brownfon in the chair, and An
v- thony Hafwell, printer, chnfen clerk, voted that
" The Treaty is injurious to the iiitereft, and de
rogatory to the honour of the United States."—-
This is all the work of one restless, troublefornc
fellow, who is always insolvent, and who negle£t»
his own honfehold to take caie of the United
States. No people are such bat} citizens as those
who officioufly obtrude thewieives into every kind

On the motion of Hermann, in the Convention
of Fiance, for submitting all bills to the Executive
Dfre&ory for approbation, before they pafa into
laws, and if objedted to, then two thiids of the
members df the two legiflattve branches to be ne
ceflary to pass them, the Convention exclaimed—
" The American Veto 1 >Jo Despot ! No Ame
rican Veto 1"
This reminds ns of a proposition made in a speech,
not moie than 6 months ago, in the fame Conven
tion, for indituting a legislature with two branches,
at which all the members rose and exclaimed with
one voice, " No, No !"—Now two branches are
proposed and all France is in favour of the divifiom
Such ficklenefs of opinion, such rapid tranfltions
from one extreme to another, were never four.d in
any other legislative body ; and they indicate a re-*
markable in (lability of eharadter, as well as a total
want of that pure genuine wisdom, which flows
from experience and fixed principles. Experience
alone will lead the Convention to truth, and expe
rience will probably point out the defe£ts and errors
of the Conditution as fad as a future Convention
can repair them.

" One part of the plan now in operation, to subvert

e furious scheme has t»een tried twice with partial fuc-

three hundred and thirty thou/and dollars to quell, was

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 12.
The terrible lire which has lately reduced to
afV.es. a part of this capital, is, perhaps, the most
difa ft ions of jill those of which it has been so often
the prey. It broke out the Bth inft; at 9 o'clock
at night, in a ftore-ho'ufe near the canal. A frefh
wind which arose unhappily spread the flames, and
si om the firft hour of the fire, rendered abortive all
attempts to extinguish it.- At midnight it com*
municated to some large ftore-houfct of oil, butter
and lard : it waa a dreadful fight to fee all those
matters running through the streets, like lava, in
flames, spreading fire and desolation, and overtak
ing the unhappy fugitives endeavouring te escape.
This running shine feon arrived at the ftore-houfec
oi wood aud coal : it was then that the conflagra
tion was at its height s the burning heat of the
atmsfphere kindled from afar every thing combufti
hle. All the Itore-houfes of rice, barley, tobacco,
and above all of coffee, as wheih there had arrived
lately a considerable quantity, became a prey to the
flames, and extended wider the ravages. The con
flagration lalted 36 hours, and did not cease wiiik
any thing remained to feed it in the* direflion it
took. It is supposed that at lead fwe or fix thorn
fand houses were burnt, cxclufive of public edifice*
and shops, among the latter of which are fifty fhopt
of workers in amber. The loft is eflimated at
twelve millions of dollars.

instigators, authors and perpetrators of the defera
ble events which have taken place at Nantz.f Offi

of victims doomed to massacre on this oceafion,
more were by citizens ofNantz than foldiers.;Thefe
citizens are the fame which not long ago formed
the company of Marat, all agents of Carrier, all
regretting his honible tyranny These monftert
had endeavoured to persuade the volunteers that
the laws authorised this exvefs. This information
