Enclosed is the last No. of the Correodel Orinoco.” A letter from a French house iu Liver pool* of the 7th of July, to a gentleman of this city, says, “Our letters from Paris this morning, of the 30th ult. state that the government has established a coun tervailing tariff on American vessels, which is to go into operation immediate ly, on the 1st of July. France, they say, will then be upon eipial terms with the I’. States, and it is probable a negociation will be immediately opened for the ar rangement of Commercial regulations be tween the’two countries, upon fair and reciprocal terms.” An Algerine squadron of live ships, it appears sailed from Algiers early in June, destined it was said for the North seas. will therefor* hate (he same influence upon prices, ns the plenty or scarcity of money. An enhancement of home com modities, by the abundaneb of foreign commodities or currency brought to purchase them, is both a reimbursement lor the consumption of these foreign commodities, and also furnishes a fund for revenue ; whereas the expulsion of this currency diminishes the price of home commodities, deprives the people of many enjoyments arising from con- umption, and lessens the means for the payment of taxes. The enjoyments of consumption are the food of industry ; diminish them, and •t flags; leave them free, and it is invi gorated ; and this invigoration is a re source so ample for meeting the expense of an increased consumption, that every nation possessing it, will have the advan tage in commercial competitions over those which do not. In struggles for wealth, industry will gain the victory ; and a relaxation of its sinews, is like car rying on a war without ammunition. True economy consists in a free em ployment of their own capital by occu pations, as the best mode of making it productive ; false economy, in legislative coercions of capital into other channels, because it cannot he employed with the same skill in new, as in habitual occupa tions. Drive a merchant to the plough, or a ploughman to the counting house, and the unskilfulness of both will cause mutual sloth, vexation and misfortune ; ind by diminishing a resource to meet, the expense of consumption, contained in th* knowledge and skill of habitual" occupations, dimmish also the public prosperity. Legal dislocations of capital, besides producing the losses sustained by driving individuals from one occupation to ano ther, are moreover universally the mode resorted to for imposing burdens on a great majority of nations, to foster some' exclusive interest. They constitute an elemosynary system for forcing the poor to give alms to the rich ; and in every form arc the elements by which free go vernments arc made oppressive. The mercantile, naval, and agricultur al occupations, arc all discouraged by restrictions upon commerce, and must dwindle or flourish in conjunction. The agricultural supplies the basis of com merce ; the mercantile imports the com modifies which increase the value of those for exportation ; and both supply the freights aud the wages which nurture the naval occupation, rear seamen, and provide the means lor maritime defence. In the united prosperity of these occu pations consists national prosperity itself; and their free efforts are an ample equi valent for the expense of consumption. Re-exportations ought not to be forgot ten. They extend commerce, increase seamen & shipping, and produce a mer enntile profit. Single towns have often acquired opulence by being depots of foreign manufactures, and the more pros perous this branch of commerce is, the more the capital of every community is augmented. Mercantile intelligence,pro filing by commercial fluctuations and circumstances, frequently derives profit from circuitous exchanges, and some times can undersell the fabricators them selves. It is insufficient to urge, that prohibitory or protecting duties will not destroy this branch of our commerce because they are not paid on re-export ed commodities. The fact is, that no considerable surplus of these commodi ties are ever imported, except from the inducement of a double market; that they are invited by a freedom of trade and repelled by local restrictions ; and that the freer the port, the more exten sive and profitable this branch of com rnerce will become A free commerce is like a free govern ment. Either, isolated amidst coniincr cial restrictions or political oppressions flourishes beyond its neighbours by tor bearing to imitate their errors. The llanse Towns at one period almost ab sorbed the trade and wealth of Europe because commerce was every where else subjected to prohibitions and res trictions. From all these sources of national wealth, the protecting duty system make deductions which fall chiefly upon the poor, because the coarse and necessary articles of domestic manufacture, arc consumed principally by them. But it is said that the tax thus inflicted upon the poor of all other occupations, goes to the relief of poor manufacturers. The fact would not be a justification of the poliev ; but even that is denied. The. price* of labour is regulated by circum stances which bounties cannot control.— If a bounty was given to seamen naviga ling mercantile vessels, their employers would compute the bounty as a portion of the wages, and continue to regulate them by a comparison with the price of labour in other occupntions. In like manner, a bounty to the workmen navigators of manufactories, must settle in the pockets of their employers, even if it was paid to the workmen themselves; but when it is attached to the goods, sold bv their employers, the chance of the workmen to receive nny portion of great degree; and the question is, I it is so very feeble, that no symptom of whether the evils inflicted by unforeseen such >" «« b f circumstances, ought to be alleviated or FREDERICKSBURG, August 19. At n united meeting of Farmers and Mer chants interested In the proposed alteration of the tariff on importations, at the Town-Hall, in this place, on the 12lh instant, the following Memorial to Congress was presented and read by Col John Taylor, of Caroline, and unanim ously udoptedby the meeting: To the Senate and House of Bepresentatices of the United States, in Congress assemiih THE MEMORIAL Of the Merchants, Agriculturists and others, of the Town of Fredericksburg and adjacent Country, RESPECTFULLY SHEWgTII That being convinced that the Pro tecting Duty System, has been and would continue to be pernicious to the United States, your Memorialists respectfully submit to the consideration of your Ho norable Body, the following observations in relation to it Whether a freedom of exchanges or commercial restrictions, will most ad vance the prosperity of nations ; wheth er an erroneous policy by one nation, requires an erroneous policy by another; whether economy or avarice suggests the idea of transferring capital from many occupations, to one ; whether justice de eides th.it a portion of the labour of the poor, ought to Vie appropriated by laws to the use of the rich ; whether the lim ited powers over persons and properly delegated to the federal government, embrace the internal power of regulat ing the interests of manufacturers and agriculturists ; and whether such a con struction of the federal constitution would not include an internal power over all occupations, a»d subvert all the restric tions designed to establish a division of -powers between Qie federal and state go vernments ; are <uestions too extensive' for the limits of t memorial, but suffi ciently important to be suggested to the wisdom of Congress. The present tarifl was modelled by the mingled consideiationw of raising revenue, and eucourag.ng manufactures. The revenue it produces, goes into the public treasury ; and the bounties it be stows, into the pockets of capitalist ma nufacturers. Either as public revenue or private bounties, it is a tax upon the national ability. The Congress which imposed the tax, undoubtedly estimated this ability ; hut since it was imposed, one half of the national ability to pay taxes has been destroyed by the doubled value of money, and a reduction to the same amount in the value of products and property. Therefore the burden of taxation has been doubled by circum stances without the agency of legislation, and if one half the duties were taken off, it wo*rld require the profits of as much capital to pay the other half, as sufficed to pay the whole when the duties were inflicted. One effect of this diminution in the ability to pay, must he a diminu tion of revenue ; because if the whole duty is continued, it will compel the payers to retrench their consumption and the value of the bounties bestowed upon manufacturers, being doubled by the doubled value of money, they would under the presertt tarifl’receive a pecu niary encouragement worth twice as much, as that which was originally be stowed. If, therefore, one half of the duties imposed by the existing tariff, were taken off, the other half would con stitute the same real burden upon the nation, and the same real bounty to ma nufacturers, intended to be established by the representatives of the people To this eventual augmentation ot tax ation, without the concurrence of Con gress, the public rfiltrcss is owing in a exchanges, consumable capital can never be increased ; but it must be diminished for the same reasons that an individual, who should only use what he fabricates, ould possess less consumable capital, than if he avails himself of beneficial ex changes. Exchanges consist of consuma ble articles. Its consumption destroys what wt£ receive, it destroys also what we pay. No permanent capita) is pro duced either by commerce or manufac tures, except by causing an improvement of land and buildings. Neither com merce nor manufacturing can create and embalm a capital against consumption.— Wealth in consumable capital is consti tuted by the plenty of commodities ; po- erty, by their scarcity. Both mer chants and capitalists offer to supply the community with consumable capital.— Which is best, a small annual consumable capital or a largo one ? The large one an feed all our wants, encourage indus try in all its branches, enhance nil our commodities, and spare annually a sur plus to meet the expenses of govern ment. The small consumable capital can feed but a few of our wants, discourages industry in all its branches but one, de preciates all our commodities, and can pare nothing for government. By sup posing that the little consumable capital could utterly exclude the great one, and contemplating the protecting duty poli cy in its utmost success, exactly ns we have fqlt it occasionally in the cases of, wars and embargoes, we may calculate its gradations. A large consumable ca- itnl is so essentially connected with na tional wealth, that governments, where ver it exists, may afford to be extrava gant ; but wherever the small one only exists, which manufactures without com merce can produce, they must he frugal. The difference lies between making a mercantile profit by foreign exchanges, and making no such profit. A frugal go vernment, united with a free commerce, by leaving to the nation that portion of consumable capital, which oppressive governments take from it to pamper ex clusive privileges, would probably pur sue the most effectual policy for advanc ing the wealth, comfort and happiness of the people. A great annual consumable capital is so universally agreed to be a- mong the good tilings of this world, that it is the very thing which nil exclusive interests are in pursuit of. The pro tecting duty system proposes to deprive the community of a great mass of this species of wealth, the only kind really valuable to man ; and to give it in return a supply of the same species, of an infe rior amount, saddled with si tax for the benefit of a few rich men, and attended with a necessity of resorting to some new mode of taxation for the support of government. It hns been fairly tried, by a gradual progress for thirty years ; and having in creased public expenses, exhausted the treasury in time of peace, contributed to a ruinous reduction in the prices of our commodities, and caused, in no small degree, the general distress another dose of the drug which has produced such consummations, is proposed. Might it not be wiser to give a short trial to the rival policy, by repealing the present ta riff, imposing duties exclusively with an eye to revenue, and re-establishing the freedom of commerce ; than to perse vere any longer ? If one half the duties were taken off, it is probable that the revenue would not be diminished, as consumable capital might be doubled, and increase of value by an increase of currency brought to purchase our com modities, might recover and establish the fact, that the greater are our comforts and enjoyments, the easier we can pay our taxes. VVft think it a question between the nourishment of a monopoly by a tax to enrich the rich; and the nourishment of all useful occupations, by equal lawn ; in which a very few individuals occupy one interest, and all the rest ofthe com munity, with the government itself, ano ther ; and therefore we respectfully sub mit these remarks to the wisdom of Con gress, with a conviction that the subject will receive the attention which its im portance requires, and that the distress es under which we arc laboring will not be aggravated. And your memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray, Ac. In the senate the memorial was laid on •he table till the 1st Jan. 1821, by a ma jority of 11 to 5. Two of the members spread their reasons upon the journals fur treating it thus contemptuously. A- mong other things they remarked— “ The undersigned cannot but recollect, anil that too, with Ilia most unfeigned regret, that one of the distinguished characters who appears to have been actively zealous in producing tho above memorial, but a few dnys since, at the seat of government, anil in the prosetico of some members of the legislature, in the most indecorous manner, stated, that nny member who voted for it, ironld perjure, himself; and that if the lain did pass, twclec honest jurymen up on oath would eonvirt than of perjury tcho voted for the measure. Tho above statement, taken in eonnection with the memorial, the undersigned think is a direct and unwarrantable attack up on (lie dignity of this bouse, ami n strong per sonal implication of perjury against those mem bers who believe tt their duty to vote for the passage of the. law." We notice these things, not from any disposition to detract from the lame of general Jackson ; but because we think it one of the most solemn duties of the press, and of every friend to free govern ment, to watch, expose, and resist every tendency to the encroachment of the mi litary on the civil power and the rights ofthe people. It is the greatest source of danger in a republican government; liberty, ns well as humanity, has suffered more in all countries from the profession of arms, than from nny other quarter.— The sword is the usual instrument, by which despotic governments have been established ; it may he true iu general, that the people are first prepared for it by anarchy or corruption ; but this does not render it the less necessary, to guard against an agent of tyranny, which is ev er ready to take advantage of all favora ble circumstances. Human nature is so constituted, that the people have a most unreasonable admiration and inordinate gratitude for military services—they are ever prone to admit the claims, and ac quiesce in the usurpations of a fqvoritc hern. It is therefore important that the press should constantly combat this dan gerous tendency of public sentiment, and expose with indignant reprobation eve ry abuse practised by the military. There is at present no ii inger of an ambitious general seizing the reins of go vernment ; but the increase of popula lion, and the progress of luxury and faction, will bring this country-to a con •lition, in which such a danger will he imminent ; and the best way to guard a gainst it will be, to cherish and render habitual in the minds of the people, a scrupulous unrelenting jealously of the military power. Let no person invested with it presume to donate from the strict line of his duty, or the most respectful and rigid subordination to the civil au thority. RECORDER.

The ardent, dictatorial disposition of this distinguished military chieftain, (ob serves the H'estcrn Spy of Cincinnati) has lately been displayed towards the le gislature of Tennessee, in a way rather offensive to some of its members. His ollice in the army of the United Slates renders it a matter of much delicacy, if not absolutely improper, for him to inter fere in affairs of civil policy. But it seems, he was violenlly\>pposed to the project of a loan office, which was agitat ed m the legislature, and made great ex ertions to prevent its adoption. A re monstrance was got/ up and presented, with his name at the head ofthe signers, in which the language used was not the most temperate and respectful. Most of the representatives received it with due submission ; but a few had firmness and independence enough to assert their dignity, and resent the dictation of an of ficer of the army.
