The Economy cf Kings and Republics,
It is the enftora of monarchies not only to
confer the tnoft rxhorbitant fabrics upon
kings and ministers ; in other words, upon
thoie who may be presumed to have render
ed fame Cervices to the ftatc ; but upon eve
rv b r anch and fprlg ot the royal family,—
But it is the very principle of as
it is stated in the constitution of Virginia ;
“ that no man, orfet of men, are entitled to
exclusive or leparate emoluments or privi
leges from the community, but in confidcr
ation of public fctvicesthe fame principle
too, requiring that thefc emoluments and
privileges thuuld be confined within the
most moderate limits* Not to speak of the
civil lift of the Englilh king ; not to speak
of the prince of Wales, his enormous debts
difeharged from the public treasury, or the
enormous annuity granted to his support ;
not to (peak ot the other branches of the
royal family ; a fuffiaient illustration of our
principle is to be found in a late appropria
tion of the Bdt’fh parliament. It is curt
ous to contrail: thefc ftrangc appropriations
witli the salary of our republican officers ;
In Great Britain,
The D ike of Glou- In the U. States,
cefter receives more Our chief magiftratc
than 6z,000 dollars, receives only 25,000
The Vnncc/s Char . dollars
htte of Wales, more
than 31,000.
Thirty one thousand dollars appropriated
for (applying the infant daughter of the
prince of Wales with corals, gingerbread
and rattles; a Turn, greater by 6oco dollars
thin the stipulated salary of the chief magif
ttatc of the union. Yet theje is no man of
impartiality, who will not admit, that wc
are at leuft as well governed, as the people
of Great Britain.
And by what title do thefc beings claim
such an exorbitant portion cf the means of
life ? Du they earn it by the fwcat of their
brow ? No. Da they deserve it by fame
ingenious difeovery ? No. Is it the profit
of their capital ? No. Is it the reward of
Cervices rendered to their country ? No.—
For, what services have they rendered, but
to extend the rage of luxury, dissipation and
vire ? By what right then do ihey batten
upon the labor and wealth of the nation ?
What is the Duke of Gloucester to the un.
fortunate manufacturer, who is taxed to
support his extravagance ? “ What is He
cuba to him, or he to Hecuba Suppose
only, that congrcfs Ihould appropriate seve
ral thousand dollars to tfie support of Mr.
Jefferfon’s relatives, what indignation would
it not excite in every American bosom! Yet
such is almost the precise question, with ref.
pest to these “ titularies of the grand dig.
nitaries” of Great Britain. And yet it is
in this oppressed nation where the idle sprig
of royalty is thus magnificently fapported,
that the poor laborer is ground down to the
hone by taxes ; and every poor man with
four children is a pauper.
This is the real spirit of monarchies.—
Their rulers must be diftinguilhed from other
men, not by their talents, not by their vir
tues, not even by their royal blood, but by
tbs pomp and the dazzle ot tiehes, Deprive
them of this magic cf ostentation, and the
delusion of monarchies would soon be over.
We recollefl an anecdote in point, that is
related of some celebrated wit, perhaps Dr.
Beattie. Never was there a more ingenious
and striking pun—never was any play of
wm.ds more diftinguilhed by humor, or by
the truth of the application, “lake from
MAJESTY its externals, fatd the wit (put
ting his fingers upon the firft and bit letters
of the word) and what is it but *j*Ji ?

AUGUSTA, Oa. 18.
Last Saturday, two veflels arrived from
England at Savannah—the Lucy from Lon
don, and the William from Liverpool; by
one of these, accounts, it is said, arc received
that cotton had fallen, in consequence of
lord Lauderdale’s return from Paris, with,
out having accomplished the objeft of his
million—a treaty of peace with France :
Thus all the flattering profpcfb vanifli, and
the war is now to be continued between the
two rival powers, with more vigor and
energy than ever—now, ebher Rome ot
Carthage must fall !
By this arrival we have news to the lat
ter end of August—at that time cotton is
! said to have fallen four pence in the pound—
in Liverpool the Handing price, 26 pence.
The fubferibers to the Augusta
Chronicle, who live in the country, and
who arc indebted to the paper for one and
more years, will please to recollcft that they
have at this fcafon, frequent opportunities
of fettling their accounts, and it is hoped
they will not omit doing so.
Savannah, ORober n.
Since the Hurricane of 1804, we have
experienced no such gale as that of Wcdnef
day last. On Tuefday we had a pretty frefh
breeze ail the day, from about N. toN. E.
It increased towards evening, and continued
to blow with considerable violence on Wed
nesday morning, which raised the tide to
more than its common heighr. There being
a considerable frefh in the river, the planters
on the different Islands began to be alarmed,
and they had but too good reason, for the
gale increaftng all that day, brought in such
a tide in the evening as to alarm ihe wharf
owners and those who had property ftcred
under the bluff. Luckily however, it did
not rife so high as to do much injury to
them, but the Planters have fuffered most
severely. The tide meeting the frtfh, it
railed the water Over every bark on Hutch,
infon’s Kland, and the Rice flacks whkh
had been so well and so fafely gat herd,
were generally surrounded with from three
to four feet water. Farther up the river
the frefli was more severely felt, and those
who had made large, high and substantial
banks, to secure their barn yards, had the
misfortune to fee them either broken by the
violence of the current and wind, or fil'ed
from leaks and rain water. In confluence
of which, every crop that was not pie
vioafly removed to the high land, or placed
on knolls, has been much injured. Except
a boat of Mr. White’s having upset and
four Negroes pcrifhing, we have heard of
no other lives loft. The loss of Rice,
however, will be immense; although it
has not been generally carried away, it is
all soaked in water, and the tide flill keep
-ICg U p, will prevent the Planters from sa
ving what otherwise might have been prr
ferved, kisimpoffiblc for us toeftimate me
extent of the loss; one gentleman however,
assures us, that he had reaped what would
have produced him 800 barrels Rice, whuh
is now damaged with water, and .rom
which, with every exertion and good wea
ther, he does not expert to save the value
of 200 barrels. . _ ,
The Cotton Crops must also havefuftered
as well as the other Plantations in the reach
of tide water—we have no accounts but
from the immediate vicinity of thw place.
The general fufferers are—Mr. White,
Mr. Campbell, Mr. Telfair. Mr. P. Young,
Mr. Oliver, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Ward,
Mr. Ncylc, Mr. T. Young, Mr. Mem.
.The (hip Tippo Saib, has arrived at
Liverpool, from this port, in 29 days.
