THE HOLY ALLIANCE,
AND
THE UNITED STATES OF A-
M ERICA.
FROM THE BALTIMORE FEDERAL GA
ZETTE.
When some of our public writers
stated it as their opinion, that the mem
beis of the Holy Alliance “did not
confine theii views of subjugation to
the South American Republics, but
contemplated an extention of their pa
ternal embraces to the United States ,
it was considered, we believe, by most
and by ourselves among- the number,
as a mere chimera, atising either from
a too easy admission of fear, or the sup
position that these Holy brethren were
really more absurd in “their notions of
things” than could well be conceived
by ordinary capacities. It was not,
we thought to be gravely maintained
that such a measure could for a mo
ment be contemplated by even an ul
tra royalist of the Highest and warm
est cast, much less by a man represen
ted as the ablest and most influential
statesman of all the diplomatic corps,
connected wit h the Holy Alliance. —
We have now, however, to acknowl
edge our mistake, whilst we communi
cate to the readers of tne Federal Ga
zette what will, we imagine, not a lit
tle surprise them, namely, that no less
a personage than Pozzo Dt Borgo,
the Ambassador from Russia to Franee,
the paramount minister of the Holy
Alliance, who is supposed to diiect
the attention of the Allied Sovereigns
as he would the babies of his will, and
to have wielded the destinies of the
European Continent since the sun set
on the fortunes of Napoleon, actually
advised an optn attack by arms on the
Independence and .ibei ties of the Uni
ted Siates of America. We copy the
following editorial article on this sub
ject.
FROM THE LONDON MORNING CHRONI
CLE.
The extravigance of the Russian or
high Ultra pa! ty in France, would
hardly be credited in this country —■
Would it be believed that M. Pozzo
di Borgo, its oracle in Paris, in a me
moir addiessed to his Court in 1817,
on the importance of replacing South
America under the dominion of Spain
actually allowed his zeal against liber
ty to carry him so far as gravely in pro
pose the subjugation of the United
States of North America. “Founded
he said, on the sovereignty of the Peo
ple, the Republic of the United States
of America was a fire, of which the
daily contact with Europe threatened
the latter with conflagration, that this
state, an asylum for all innovators,
gave them the means of disseminating at
a distance bv theit writings, and by the
authority of their example, a poison of
which the communication could not be
questioned, as it was well known that
the French Revolution had had its oii
gin in the United Slates; that already
troublesome effects were felt in Eu
rope from the piesence of French re
ftig. es in America, and more particu
larly in France; that the administration
DARIEN, (GEORGIA,) <gqual anti €jpact 3ju3ttce. •TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1824.
of that kingdom was oblig and to bend
before the revolutionary spirit, and,
that a prompt repression of democra
tic al principles could alone prevent
the irruption of an evil already so grave
in its source.” After a variety of con
siderations of the same sort, the Rus
sian Ambassador proceeded to observe
“That the conquest of the United
States of Ametica was an easy enter
prise—that their submission to a mode
of government more in harmony vvtth
that of the other civilized States cfi’ihe
world, would be attended witn little
inconvenince in comparison/ of the
danger from allowing to s.itpfcst, much
longer, the form of the actuai govern
ment; that the degree of power to
which the Americans had risen, made
them objects of fear to the European
Monarchical Governments, but that
at the same time, the sum of their rich
es having augmented that of luxury
and corruption, there vva3 reason to
think that the principal citizens of the
United States would not be displeased
to see a change which would place
them at the head of the government of
their country; that as the aristocrati
cal spirit was more particularly per
ceptible in the towns, the influence of
the rich citizens might easily bring
about the desired change; that it would
in vain be objected that the United
States had just come off victorious out
of the struggle they had maintained
with Great Biitain: that this success
was owing to particular causes, the ab
sence of whicn would oveicome op
position and resistance, and that two of
these causes could not fail to strike
every observer—that, in the first place
the richest citizens saw witn fear the
moment approach in which the Eng
lish party would replace the United
States under the power of England;
that, in that case, they would consider
themselves as stript ot their power,
and subjected to the tyranny of the
British aristocracy, whose representa
tives would impose on them a yoke as
severe as humiliating; that, in conse
quence, seeing they could gain nothing
by this change, they made every effort
to overcome every difficulty, in which
they would; not perhaps, have succee
ded, but for the impolitic conduct of
the English who set fire to Washing
ton; and, that it is, perhaps, to this se
cond cause, that the failure of (he en
terpiise, and consequently the consoli
dation of the Republic, is, in a great
measure, to be attributed.”
Now though all this must appear
to us Americans extremely absurd and
extravagant, yet, when we consider
that it comes from a man who is under
stood to influence the cabinets of the
Holy Alliance, the folly assumes a
graver aspect, because we know that
weak and wicked princes and even
those of a better stamp, are sometimes
governed by weak and wicked minis
ters, and that, when wickedness ts
combined with ability, the danger in

Convention -with Russia —Mr. Lu
cius, Bull, who arrived in this city a
few days ago, was the bearer of des
patches from our Minister at St. Pe
tersburgh. By these, it appears
that a Convention was concluded on
the sth—l7th of April last between
Mr. Middleton, on the part of the
United States, and Couni Nessel
rode and .Vlr. Poletica on the part of
! Russia. We understand that the
Convention consists of six articles in
which all the points in dispute between
the two governments are adjusted in a
manner the most honorable andadvan
tagious to this country,
i The Ist article authorizes the free
navigation of the Pacific Ocean, by
both parties, and recognizes the light
jof fishing, and of landing on ail points
|of the West coast not already occu
pied in order to tiade with the abori
gines.
The 2d article provides, that the
citizetft or subjects of either country
shall land at points occupied by ei
ther, without the permission of the
Government or Commandant.
! The third article fixes the boundary
line at 54. north of which the United
States are not to form establishments,
south of which Russia cannot advance.
The 4th article allows free entrance
to both parties, for ten years, into all
the gulfs, harbours, &c. of each, for
the purposes of fishing and trading
| with the natives.
I The sth article interdicts a trade in
fire arms and liquors; and provides
1 that violations of this article shall be
punished, not by seizure of the vessel
but by penalties, to he prescribed by
each government, on its own citizens
or subjects.
The 6th article prescribes that the
ratification shall be exchanged within
ten months from the date ot the treaty.
RECEPTION OF MR. ALLEN IN
CHILI.
The Editors of the National Intelli
gencer have been fovored with a letter
from a meihber of the American Lega
tion to Chili transmitiing them a num
ber of El Corree de Arauco , of the 30th
of April, from which they are able to
furnish the following very interesting
account of the reception of Mr. Al
len our first Minister to the Republic of
Chili.
Extract of the Courier de Arauco of
the 30 th of A fir U, 1824 Transla
tion.
Interior: —Yesterday, the 22d inst.
the Supreme Director of the Slate
give his fitst public audience to the
Honorable Hemand Allen Minister
Plenipotentiary of the U. States, near
the government of Chili, Mr. Alien
requested an interview with the Minis
ter of State foi Foreign Relations in
which he exhibited, conformably to
custom, a copy ol his credentials and in
consequence, was admitted to a solemn
audience, which took place yesterday,
with the gieatest possible pomp, and
which derived additonal eclat from the
general joy manifested by all the inhabi
tants of the Capital.
At 12 o’clock of the day, the coach
es of the government, with all the cir
cumstance of etiquette, dtove to the re
sidence of Mr. Allen, for the purpose
of conducting him to the Direcloral
Palace He was accompanied by the
Gentleman Usher of Ambassadors,and
other gentleman of tbe government. —
At the foot of the Palace stairs were in
waiting the Aids-de-Camp of the Su
preme Director. On alighting from
the coach the national standard wasdis
: piayed, accompanied by a salute from
the batteries; of 22 guns,and the Guard
paid to the Plenipotentiary Directoral
honors, His Excellency accompanied
by the Apostolic Nuncio, the Plenipo
tentiaries of Peru, Buenos Aytes, and
Colombia, and, other individuals of the
Diplomatic Corps, and all the authori
ties, civil, military’ and ecclesiastical,
of the Capital awaited Mr. Allen, in
the Hall oi Ambassadors,into which he
was introduced by the Minister ot For
eign Relations: who, on presenting him,
spoke as follows;
“ih/osl Excellent Sir: —l have the
honor oi presenting toyour Excellency
the honorable Heman Allen, Minister
Plenipotentiary of the United Siates,
near the government of Chili. How
satisfactory this circumstance must be
to me, will be estimated from the inte
i est your Excellency the autlior
itiesandthe people of Chili take in draw
ing close the relations of friendship with
the great nation which has been the first
to recognize out independence—which
placed at the front of the American
continent, will forevei be the safeguard
of liberty; and which by its institutions,
and by the virtues of its citizens,
command our admiration, and our gra
titude.”
Immediately after this, Mr Allen de
livered to the Supreme Director his
letter of credence, and pronounced the
following address:
“ Most Excellent Sir:— The U. states
of America, being deeply impressed
with the importance of the events which
have leleasedthis country from foreign
domination and enabled it to assume a
lank among the nations of the earth,
ha’ e, throughout the momentous sti ug
gle so far as comported with its neutral
character, been in the constant exer
cise of friendly relations, and at a time
best calculated to give effect to the act,
in this most solemn and unconditional
manner, recognized the independence
of Chili, and commissioned me, as its
representative, to reside near its Court
for the purpose of cultivating the rela
tions of peace and friendship, and for
the interchange oi mutually kind offi
ces, on terms of the most perfect recip
rocity, between the two nations.”
In the progress of this great work,
assuming as is hoped for its only basis,
the sovereignty of the people and the
equal and unallienable rights of man,
all the sympathies of my country are
most deeply engaged. Difficult and
arduous mayyet be the course which re
mains for Chili to pursue but a free
people will never despair. True to
herself and just towards others, she
may bid defiance to any coalition which
may threaten her repose.
In the mind system of her laws in
the free and enlightened institutions of
her country, and just and liberal exer
cise of friendly relations with other na
tions, Chili, it is believed is destined
to enjoy not only happiness at home,
but to occupy a distinguished rank
amongst the nations ot the world.
Gaurd well, then, an inheritance of
such high value; else vain and ineffec
tual-will have been the expenditure of
the public treasure which has thus
been created; else vain will have flowed
thus freely the blood of your heroes
nay, else posterity might weep for your
imbecility, if you suffered these ines
timable blessings to pass from you,
but with the last ray of your exis
tence.
Anew era has arrived. Ignorance
and superstition the very bane of civil
liberty, are every where giving place
to virtue and intelleigence, and the pro
gress of the human mind, before which
tyrants tremble, bids, fair to demolish,
in its course, these self created poten
tates, and to restore man to the tank
and dignity whicb his Creator allott and
to him Shall we, then, by our exer
tions, assist in the completion of this fair
fabric, or supinely suffer the super
structure to be destroyed? Chili, it is
believed like the United States of
America, would not fail to embi ace the
former.
From the Representative ofafree peo
ple w hose soil, like that < f Chili, is un
polluted by the feet of tyrants, these
sentiments have oeen elicited; may they
he received in that spirit ol friendship
with which they have been submitted—-
aad, under the Divine protection, may
the tree of liberty, which has been rear
ed in this highly favored land, and con
secrated by the blood of heroes continue
to be watered by the dews of Heaven,
expand and bear rich fruit to the re
motest time: and never, oh? never may
it be said of this rising public. She
once was free, she once was happy, she
once w.s independent.”
The supreme director replied as fol
lows:
“The government of Chili, is happy
to recognize, in your Excellency, the
worthy Minister of the United States
of America—of that great and respec
table nation whose laws and whose civil
virtues will ever be the admiration of
the world. Happy will it be for Chili,
shouldsin brableto dist overandpersue
the means of drawing close the relations
and friendship and interest between the
two nations—for this alone would be
sufficient to perpetuate her tranquility
and happiness. In the meanwhile your
Excellency and your nation, will accept
the gratitude of the people ot Chili,
for the generous acknowledgment of
their independence; for the favorable
disposition which, in relation to these
new States, is manifested by the Presi
dent in his late Message to the sover
eign Congress, and for the honor which
is conferred on them in the mission of
your Excellency.”
Faults of medical Men . —When eminence
is attained by fortunate events, not by real
merits, the individuals thus elevateu do not
serve as extensively as possible those com
mitted to their care, from want of information
and exhibit hsuightyjindifference, or opposi
tion to any thing tending to advance the sci
ence of medicine. They are “jealous ot im
provements, and hostile to improvers. The
internal monitor whispers, it was not by
knowledge they rose, but by knowledge they
may sink. It is the constant expedient of
duluess to persuade the world men of geni
us are difficient in judgement—though it be
certain that persons remarkable for dirising
new means of relieving distress, and remov
ing uncertainty, have been most acute in dis
cerning the real relations of things. Crafty
mediocrity treasures up the 9poil of the cre
dulous.”
Medical men who despair of making much
proficiency in the art of healing, are apt
to turn their talents to the art of pleasing.
Scanty services have been rendered to
medicine, by those who have enjoyed the
most ample professional emoluments, aud
most fashionable reputation. “If a physician
has attained great eminence without having
made some assignable improvement in phy
sic, he may be set down as the narrow-mind
ed creature of artifice or the spoiled child of
chance.”
For want of more general diffusion of a
spirit of investigation, a large proportion of
the medical profession content themselves
with certain vague ideas of the virtues of me
dicine, often as remotes as possible from ac
curacy hence medicines possessed of no claim
but antiquity, retain place in the pharmaco
peia, it is possible to practice medicine in *
| way whichs hall neither hazaidrep itationnor
i popularity; nothing but the patient,
