Why may not peace and justice he secured to nations, with the same fa cility and certainty, that they are se cured to individuals of the same com munity l Do the Laws of different countries, in order to prevent civil commotions, point out the manner, in which the one shall be secured, and the other dispensed ? Are dif ferences (vhich sometimes arise a- mong neighbors, in their dealings with each other, amicably settled by arbitrators ; and events submitted to them for decision, when the parties have -almost ruined themselves by a tedious & expensive course of law’ ? Yes—-Why then may not business be settled in the same manner upon a larger scale, even between the con tending nations of the earth, the grea ter part of whom arc already ruin ed ? Shall man short lived, man, take the life of his brother, and know not tor what ? Shall the bosom of the earth be manured, and tire waters of the great deep be stained with human Wood ? Shall the list of broken heart ed widows and helpless orphans be daily encreased by the premature deaths of husbands and fathers s’— Shall a few individuals keep the world iii commotion, and entail mise ry on millions ? Shall thousands and tens of thousands of human victims, be immolated on the altar of man’s ambition ? Shall the bubble honor be purchased at so dear a rate ?— Shall the page of history be written with blood alone by the present ge neration l Forbid it heaven ! May thy wrath be averted & the sword of vindictive justice, which is now sus pended over the guilty nations of the earth bathed in blood, be returned to it6 scabbard, no more to be drawn! It is believed, that a plan may be adopted, which would cause the hor rid tumult of war to cease, and banish from the world its concomitant evils. Let every nation, which may desire the blessings of peace, send forward one or more representatives, who should be cloathed with authority, and as a body be invested with the power of regulating the law of na tions. Let each nation be compel led to abide by the decisions of this convention, and pledge themselves to unite in enforcing obedience, if any individual power should refuse to submit to terms of amity, which they might prescribe. Such arbitra tors ivould doubtless dispense justice —should not a full representation be immediately obtained, the num ber would increase, and the greatest consequent abilities would then be to prevent national and civil wars Such a body would form aq invinci- ble and irresistible phalanx, and u- nite the nations of the earth in friend ship and affection. There would be a commercial intercourse between all the members of Adam’s great family. The sword then useless would be turn ed into the plough shares, the rusty spear be sharpened, and bent for a pruning hocks Then might the children of rtlen unite with the choirs Shove saying glory to God in the highest; on earth peace and good will to men. If any are disposed to enquire, how this can l»c brought about, • the reply would be, let those, will) have the reins of government in their hands send forward to Wlkbin^loY their several delegates, who (night rally round the standard of peace. As something should be establish ed upon a permanent basis, let a Tem ple of Peace be erected in America, or some part of Europe, a9 might be agreed on. This should differ from the temple of Janus at Rome, by hav ing its gates always open, whereas that was shut in time of peace for the last time when the prince of peace came into the world. Thither the am bassadors of peace might assemlde, deliberate and devise plans for ame liorating the state of the world ; and would have the prayers of all the re ligious, in every country, engaged for their success. The simplicity of the above plan, for the magnitude of the object, may induce some to think that this desira ble end could not thus be secured. But if any thing is done it must be upon a simple, not a complex plan. May God put it in the hearts of the several rulers of nations to adopt this, or substitute some other mode to secure the peace and happiness of the world ! PHILANTHROPOS. The Editors of papers in America and Europe, arc requested to insect The above in their papers. We understand, and as wc believe from correct authority, says the Bos ton Chronicle, that the Bank of Li verpool had stopped payment the beginibg of September; that the Eng lish stock had fallen 10 per cent, and that owing to the great and continued want of bullion, and the difficulty ol exporting manufactures to the con tinent, brbad-cloaths and other wool len goods had fallen near 33 per cent. - — Home Manufactures.—In 4 towns of Ulster, county, iu the state of Ne\v-York,it appears by the cen sus, that there have been manufac tured 148,855 yards df cloth in the present year. Murderer discovered.—Li ghteeA yfears ago, a young woman named Elizabeth Reeves, was found mur dered in one of the docks at Phi ladelphia, but nothing was ever heard of the murderer until now. The de ceased was about 17, handsome, ap prentice to a manlua-maker. A man was seen bv a boy from the wharf on the morning of the day on which the corpse was found, heaving stones on the body, but on finding that he was observed, he made of, & was not discovered. A reward was offered by Governor Mifflin of J5800, for the apprehension of the villain without effect. But on Saturday week Charles Bleecc, latea Constable of that city, was committed to jail, after a hearing be fore the Mayor, charged with strong suspicion of the aforesaid Murder, on the confession of his stepmother, then at the point of death. The statement she is said to have made on oath, is to the following import : That on the night on which Elizabeth ReeVes was murdered, the accused came to his father’s house with his clothes covered with blood, took off his shirt, threw it into a wash-tub, and washed die blood off it.—That he w r as for some time afterwards ve ry restless in his sleep, and would of ten make frightful exclamations. In the dead of the night soon after the murder of Miss Reeves, she, the step mother, heard him groan, and went up into his room and asked him what was the matter, and he answered that A young woman had just bfeen in the room with a lighted candle in her hand, that he had his face towards her when she first entered the room, but he turned his back to her as soon as he saw her. These and some other occurrences had induced her to sus pect the accused of the murder, and she could not die in peace without divulging what she knew respecting it. The accused asserts his inno cence, and says that he can prove that he was in the state of Virginia at the time Miss Reeves was murder ed He. afterwards admitted that he was at home at the time, had read the Governor’s Proclamation offering a reward for the murderer, and did not go to Virginia until the year af ter. Another man who was with the accused at his father’s on the night of the murder, and who does not now five in that state, has likewise been accused, by the same woman, of lieii^g concerned with him in the murder ; and we understand that a stock buckle, whirl? wits found in the hand of the cor|«e, is marked widt the initials of that man’s name. By the President of the United States, A PROCLAMATION. Whereas by the fourth section of the act of Congress, passed on the first day of May, 1810, entitled h An act concerning the commercial inter course between the United States and Great Britain and France and their dependencies, and for Other purposes,” it is provided “ that in case either Great Britain or France shall before the third of March next, so revoke or modify her edicts as that they shall cease to violate the neutral commerce of the United Slates, which fact the President of the United States shall declare by pro clamation, and if the other nation shall not within three monts thereal- so revoke or modify her edicts m like manner, then the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and eighteenth sections of flit act entitled “ An act to interdict the commercial intercourse between tht United States and Great Britain and France and their dependencies, aivti for other purposes,” shall, from and a;ter the expiration of three months Irom the date of the proclamation a- loresard, be revived and have full three and effect, so far as relates to the dominions, colonies and depen dencies, and to the articles the growth, produce or munufacture of the do minions, colonies fit dependencies, of the nation thus refusing or neglecting to revoke or modify her edicts in the munner Aforesaid.
