To be convin ced tfiat evil exills, we need oniy look a round vs , every individual* experience o uft afford ample teftimmy, that it docs I exist, and it would be <ay to (hew. that its esiUvnce is a wife allomrnt of provi dence. For however tioral evil was originally introduced, its p< sent evidence is neerffary to the foppot of Virtue Was the firft exploded, tk last would b- j a word empty, and tmmeping. The dipri-viry of liurffn nature evi dencesiiftlf in different firms, and in v? rimiß degrees- There at many, whose ,s .nous in life are direfed foltiy to the j-quirctnent, of aceumulted wealth, and whose fimty bosoms tbs oecuji and, by eltvifing plans for inert aing forture, are 1 doled againtl the calls rt eompaflicn, ar.d are ever ftranj/e to the ft ft emotions of j Sympathy, Others del-j htto it/flift in j jury, to involve in and flicuKy, and to spread iff der iiround them. Malignant ‘ in difiditfon, they po-fue tl>e gratifica tion of personal animoffty to a cruel, and inquitous txccl's. Rendered Hangers ft) pure felicity, by the unequal, <nd tr toncoui tenor of their own hvrs they arc unwilVng to behold the pacific enjoy ment of plrafurrs, in which they have no participation, Envious of felicity, and thendt Ives unhappy, they endeavor todc ftroy what they sue unable to attain. Unexperienced virtue if, ever tafy to arerdtt, for innocence is the parent of credulity. Suspicion is a dangerous, and dettfted evtl.— It is natural to believe the ndiviciual radically vicious, who is hahi ual'y fnfpicious. There is a pru d, nt caution proper to be Ooferved in the tranfetions of life, but let u charitably fupptfc men good, oi at haft innocent, until vre attain evidence, that thiy are corrupt. It is unrrafonable to suppose, that he, who onre piirfut s the ide-l phantom of licentious plealure will nevrr Hop his ca rter, and it is ui just to fufptcl, that he, who was irice abandoned to ignoble pro ptnfities, aad enervated by brutal grati. fieations, then spontaneously refignedthe power of ablaitiing. For although ha bitual indulgence renders the conqneft of passion more difficult to attain, may not the wanderer, difeovtring that he bfs llrayed from the proper path, return, re gain, and pursue it. The cold leflons of prudence, and the maxims of caution may fail to produce immediate tffuft, but if the wisdom o! ethers is unavailing, felt-experience will soon beget the change drfired by affec tion; The blandiftinientß of bilfipation arc at fiat Calcinating, but the/ pi fivis i.ot tiie power of retaining. The chalice, •which vice extends, may attrafl b"t ma ny retreat from the portion,,t t h c y drain its dregs. A youth, hitherto fondled in the lap cf indulgence, steps forward upon tht stage of life, made arrogant by flattery, ind confident of no tuperior. He may be driven by the wild Tallies of impetuous pafhons, from lire road of virtue, as the (hip on a Umpetuous ica, by advtrfe winds, from its Ucitined ci ittfe ; but the fublidts; and fated paifion is followed by the pangs of remortr. He i6 apt to sup. pi fe thut the eyes of the whole commu nity are fixed upon him with vigilant so licitude. Tenacious of his fame, he im bibes lofty ideas of peifonaf honor, and it exigence ranrot be prolonged without its forfeitures, he will often diftiain to told life, by so dthafing a tenure. The young maiden acCuftomed to hear only her own beauties extolled, imagines them fuperior.to the charms of any othei; and fuppufes every one enamored, whoj bihclds her. If fire hears a ligh escape the hofom, a lover is the victim of des pair, and an accidental glance iscontlrued into a faithful evidence of the molt vio lent pafiioti. But furcly the youthful of either sex will ci nfider it as the monition of a friend, when they are told, that often “ ruin lutks in a finile j” that mercenary friend* ihip is the bane of social life, and that in the retinue of beauty, supposed ilaves of ten fubmu lor a fcafon, only the mjrt effectual to attain iuccefs, and by future cot quclt to undo. The mod dtlbifliv beings, who are flr.mpt with hux.sn appearance, are they who vow, but todeceivt, who make feem ing-sfieftion the guile ot their hypocri ■cy, and vivo endeavor to attratl only to dcftioy. They, who moll deftrve to ffeape, are oil- mr entangled in the tin ret *•1 artifice- Uuacquaii.ud with the arts of fedudion, the contagious nature of vice, and the obvious ten oralieirg efFcd ol licentious conversation, tbeir bolotr.s are open io the vows ol deceit, and their Heps ire rcgaidlei*, beciufe unapprehen livc ot the wiles of treachery. He, whefe fiicndfhip is inconflant, wiio changes i’s oljtCi*, wi.h the vudelrn impul.c of cspiice, or who cvir.ces neg lq .nee, reiative to die fccrcts of him for win m lie piofeiies regard, should be srci (.(it v nh a truth catuu n, as a pi tliltrous dilute, lie wilijeaporoixe the bell m lrelief lufu who trusts, n.cnly to til- in.uu.iefi ot va.my, o’ to la.ure ano ther Uvome, more defined, bcuufc com. still any individual, w ; ‘ out feme degree of prudent caution, is like a T-ffl on the cean, without the implemnits of fterr .ge. This fpsciescf prudence is not in compatible with an •ur.fufpicious temper. It only fetkl jullice, without producing ii jnry. But fufp'c-on unfounded is con. carnation without evidence, puirfnme-1 without trial; and denotes a dispeiition ’o rtftgn all belief tu the cxiftencc of vir tue, or brobity. R. From the National In'tiUtr.r;r, “We lately noticed in the Gazette of the United States the bold and urqttal fied afl'ertion of a fallcltood, calculated to fix an odium on the administration, ad to relieve Spain from the reproach ofvi o ??ed faith. The allegation of asp- ci fir i'att was repelled by a pointed denial, and reference made to irrefutable evt ‘ r'ence. Indeed of a candid acknowledg incut of error, the only mode of repara tion left to the editor of that print, wc find, while he evades further notice of 1 the point in que(lion,hia columns are filled Iwita acrimonious reproaches againfttlc executive for other al edged onvfiions o f duty. Among the numerous ancles ct this hue, we felt (it the following as a fpe cimcn of the rest, which we do rot hell talc to dtclare replete with falfchoode. so cluir.fi'.y vcii-d as to be even ill fitted |to impose upon tb.e moll toriCcd cicuu.i ty. ! “ We were the other dry,” fays lh< ! Editor, “ forcibly (truck with the fin jgnkrity of an application front twera! of jour fufcfcribers ft.r a copy of the ftatule | of 44th George 111. c. 30, upon which the Britiih consul founded Sn addiefs to our merchants- The editors of newfpa ptrs have for so long a lime been the only perforates from whom any infor mation as to public ass irs could be ob tained, that we now (com to be lorked :to as Handing in the place of amba(Tu dors abroad, and cabinet coutffellors at home ; and if the mtafures of foreign courts are to be explained, and our news papers do not afford the explanation, the cbjedt is given up a3 hopclcls. As to jany information front our government it is not now a day so much as tnought cf, much less expected. In fermer tun s when the admtuiftration used to he so jakuied for its fcrecy, the public were i accullomed to receive official informafion Ist the adds of foreign governments af j feeling our interelis. If new impofi itions or unufu.il reductions were impo , fed by foreign nations upon our com ! merce, the intelligence was communica ted by our mmifters abroad, and the edit j themtelves, together with the nereff.r/ I explanations, were promulgated officially lor the information of those concerned At p - elent that fort of drudgery is left to be performed by the editors of news papers and by foreign cotifula. Under existing circumtlaoces we ought to be greally obliged to Mr. Bond, and other officers of foreign governments rdident among ns, for informing our merchants of the refpcifiive regulations to which they are to conform. We ought, indeed to go farther and to pay them each the 9,000 dollars per annum which mw go to our foreign minillers. There can turely be no good rcafoit for giving th fc funis to Mr. Muntoe in London, Mr. Armstrong in i aris, Mr. Pinckney in Madrid, &c. &c. if we are at last to de pend upon consuls here tor information ulalive to the proceedings of foreign courts. It is true that in other coun tries it is not thought very decorous for foreign agents to didlate laws and regu ; lations to 1 tie people among whom they rcliJe. It is more cuitoni.it yto cotnmu- 1 liicate tile inilrudtioiis ot the r refpecl.ve governments immediately to the court, it the fame coutfe were puifued here, jowr lecretary 01 Hate wotbd be firtl in- I toimed of inch rcitritftions as (orei.pt go vernments eltoofe to impose upon our commerce, and he would tell us officially whether those reductions were confor tnabie to existing treaties and the laws of rations, and COnftqueutly whether or not they were obhgatoiy upon our citizens. As it ;s, we seem to be under the neeefftty of paying implicit obedi ence to whatever is promulgated as law by foreign consuls, whether it be to rcgu'ate cur trade cr the arnaunt of their o%jn fees. “ The concluficMi cf the whale mat ter appears to be, that our republic tn ad ministration, who ought to itav’e no fe irets, have nothing but secrets ; and foreign governments, to cut off our mer chants from the plea of igt.orance, in confcquence of the silence i t cur own, are graciously pleated to inHruCt us thern’etves.” In teply to this farrago we fay, 1. It is not true, that under federal adminiilrations it was ufuai, in the can e f new impeffitions or unusual rc it rid ions tmpofed upon our commerce, for the acts themfeives, together with the i.eccf f*ry explanations to be officially piomi.l gated lor the information of the concer ned, while nose impojieiont o r rejlridtns n ere the jubj. fi of uegtetation or exptutui lion. Nei was it uiuai in cases wncrc there aiolc no negociation or explana tion. It may have been done in a few inttancca : but the thing was extremely tare. 2. It is not true that such official communications arc publiiheJ, as a mat ti rof couile, by iouign governments. In Europe, it is luppoitd theta merchant will, in the purli.il of his vocation, tak. the means of obtaining all uicfui infor mation, and thole iu public itetiuusrare l]r officially announce the exiltence o new uutics, or reftndions impolcd by foreign nations. itieic are acts, which it ptupir they tubniit to, and whicu, it improper, they tr'.ie fit meafurc s , eithet explanatory or eocrctve, of removing, 3 It is not true that the secretary of Hate, were he to purfuethe fame course adopted in Europe, would, in the case of reftridlior.s, tell us officially whether they were conformable to ex iling trea ties and flic laws of nations, “ and ccn fequently”(puerile conception !) “ whe ther or not they were obligatory upon our citizens.” 4. It is not true that the present administration have more secrets than <htir predecessors. On the contrary it is incontrovertible that they have in aft cases, where the pub’ic good did not forbid, made a full bifelofure of the in fo mation p-ffrfsed by them. In at tell ation of this fact we appeal to the records of L’otigrels, and to the public prints for iome years pail, a g l 'at portion of which have been filled with official do cuments. Nothing can be more awkard than this attempt of federa Jh to imprtfs the x'eathat they are the excJufive tritnds to the publicity of cfficial tranfadtions, and the enemies to (late lecre'* ! Do they lemrmber the carkrcL t’ at (h-iudcd tlte memorable Algerine treaty, nut merely ‘hiring ms p?ffrge, but long atterwardf ; that fatal treaty, which n< t contented withopenmg the coffers ot the nation to the iiifatiablc avance of pirates, gratifi ed their pride, and em.bellifhed their triumphs with a f igat', built by our own churns, now the boatl of her na* vy and the moll efficient inllrument of outrage ? Do they remerv.btr the pro fiund obfeurity in which it was intended toke.-p the Britilh treaty, which the pa triotism of a Mason dragged into day light ; and which bad as it was in the form in whi.h it pass A , might have been ten timi, worse t it; for the light filed upon its fatal prov:tion3 by public difeuffion ? Do they recollect the current . creed of fedcralii’m that the peop'e did j not, nay could not judge corttclly of our foreign relations ; that the admimffration i abne poffefsea the means of forming ae- I curate opinions, thereby pointedly beg j giig the question now’at tffoe IDo they 1 rerolleCt the veto palled by general ’ Waffling ton on the call for papers made I by lite house of lleprifeutatives, the contents of which they, the tli’efl tepre • i /motives, of the people coi fulered es . initial to enlighten thetr path an 1 point out their duties? L t them recoiled! thtfe, and many othc calcs, and ta k as 1 loudly as they plcate of the chtrespedt jof the pretcut administration to the pen ’ pie. Our ai fwer to alt thtfe ph hippies is, “ the people are a well informed t people, and they know their fritnds (rom their enemies.” j While on this tfipic, it may not be I uuamufmg to contrail an initancc of the j correct and comprehcr.five information ! which the enlightened editor oi the Ga -1 zette of the United States alcnbcs a i mong other federal cditoio to hunielt, , and that poff-ffed by a brotner editor at i Norfolk. “ On the fubjeft of Spanish captures, I (fays the editor of the we i learn that many t>i them are owing o [the want of proper papers, such as are required by the treaty which extils be tween the two governments. That trea ty (in the 27th article we believe, but not having it bciore us we cam.ot be poiitive as to the article) requires t’. it [ our veffets (hould be turnniied with patl ! ports of a particular eitlciipvioii, not the . c iiluiar palfportb which our merchants i are in the habit of obtaining and lelytng 1 upon, and the want of luch as arc des -0 ibed in ihe treaty is alledgcd as die re a lon why so many of our velf.is have been captured aud carried into ras. “ We are confidently allured that the government of Spain, lo turfsoin autho ufiug the captuie of zxmercau ved.ls have recently iff bed circular ordcra to all their officers to treat the American Hug with particular refpedt. “ as tin# information maybe teliea upon, we hope soon to fi. and our commerce relieved from one o( the embarraffmerus under which it has so long been labor* big-” On this article the editor of the pub - lic Ledger remarks ; “ Our readers will notice an article which we copy from the Gazette of the United States. It would, from that appear, that letters have been received irom Europe, which alfign a caufc for the capture of our by Spain. Wc have examined the treaty with Spam, and find the 17th article 111 conformity to mat publilUcd, but we do not find ar.y form of a annexed to the treaty, as llated 111 that article. From the belt information which we can colled, wc are dilpoled to think that no form was ever annexed to it, and that it was onh;- ted as in the cate of the “ Role be E quipage” in our treaty with France- Wc cannot, however, think that Spam ia juftifitd in taking the advantage of an omitfion, in form only It is our opi nion that the spirit of tbs article 13 la tisfied by the pafTportsor sea letter, with which our veffeis are uluaily furmfhed as other forms have not been adopted, it is prefureed that the present haß been deemed fuflicient. Indeed luch a con clusion mult be drawn, berauie Spain has been at war during every admimltra tion, and no other document has bee. required on the part ot that country. 7/ Spam eitenptj to j Jlify her tor.duel uu tier juC'i pretexts, it wilt Le a; addition 0} meouarfs to nj.icnte and rop and 1 iokjnejs. What fays the Gazette of the United Slates to tns i “It Spun attempts t-. jultity her couduci under Etch m.Ccrabk jpictexds, it wii! be an addition ot mean-, nef to insolence and rapaciousness.” I fnch be lherr.ee/teel reproach of Spain, who has her own interest to pursue, who cannot be expedled to be guided by any regard to our interest, what (hall we fay to the A merican, who thus attempts to jollify her conduct, what of the blood that runs through his veins, but that th rage of malignant passion has estranged him f-om himfelf, and in his petty hatred of those in power, has betrayed him into feutiments even worse than those afetihed to the mcannefs, the insolence aud rapa city of fotfign powers. IN our preceding columns wc lay be rore our readers the remaining official documents published by the French go vernment, the whole, as they have ap peared in the National Intelligencer, for mine-an unbroken chain. We owe the trarflation of the firlt procedings ot the Tribunate to the Mercantile Adver t fer. Our columns were too full to I admit in detail the Intelligence received at Norfolk.
