The Diana, captain Breck ? from London, has furnifhed a fciies of papers to the Bth of September —fix days later than before received. From appearance the war be tween France and Auftria was about to recommence with vi gor, both parties having rein forced their armies. The French generals had officially notified the Andrians, that the armiflice fhould ceafe on the 1 ith of Sep tember. The definitive anfwcr of the Emperor, had not, how ever, been received at Paris; and the general opinion was, that that anfwer would be fatisfadlory to Buonaparte ; and that the em peror was defirous to be prefled by the French, to have a color able pretence for breaking his engagements with England. Some recent meflfages have faffed between Great-Britain and France, on the fubjedl of peace. But the lateft accounts fiVy they have been rejected by England, as unequal and unrea fbnable. One event is certain, Den mark and Great-Britain have amicably adjtilled their differ ences. The Englifh have re linquifhcd their captures, and recalled their fquadrons ; and the Danes have acknowledged the right of the Englifh to fearch their veficls. The Danes had made immenfe preparations for war, and had a fleet of eighteen fail of the line ready for fea. Several articles in the London papers of the lateft dates, men tion the rupture of the Ameri can negociation at Paris, and of the preparation making by the envoys to return : but we have before us a letter from a very ttfpeftable gentleman, which Elly contradict* the London Element. It is dated u Lo noon, September 8. <c A gentleman of my ac quaintance has this day received * letter from an intelligent friend ? £ Paris, dated the 2d inftant, Jp which he expreffes his fatis btlion with the fair profpetft of a fuccefsfui iiTue to our negoci- f lons at Paris. There will be, . fays, a treaty. This is cer !aia that the envoys have not Paris, as reported in the ughfli papers.’* charleston, Nov. 13. cf a letter from a rej pettalle houje in London , to their correspondent hcre y receiv by the MiJJiJftppiy via Vir &ta. I London, Sept. 8, 1800. I 0 We feel it our duty to trou- WEDNESDAY, Nove m b e a 26, 1800. LIBERTY' IS OUR MOTTO AND TRUTH OUR GUIDE ble you with this letter, that you may recommend to the moll ferious confideration of the plan ters a greater care and attention in the gathering, cleaning and preparing their cotton for the Britifh market. “ The complaints made by our manufadhircrs are nearly as follows: 1 ft. The mixing the ftained and unftained together. 2d. The mixing the white cotton, and that which is of a blue or bluiefh caft. 3d. The quantity of dirt and dull in the cotton. 4th. The number of feeds and hard lumps and knots in the cotton. “ No fault is generally found with the baggingor the condition of the cotton, fo far as the pack ing is concerned, but we recom mend bags to weigh from 250 to 28olbs. being more handy to move and lefs liable to expenfe in repairs. From the flefeft* above mentioned t]ie London buyer is afraid A purchafe Geor gia cotton, without infpeifting every bag, whereas he is in the habit of buying the Weft-India or Brazil, after looking at a few of the bales; and even when he does purchafe a large parcel of Georgia, he is fure to be blamed by his principal in the country, for buying fuch mixed parcels j for this reafon he commonly in fills on picking, by which means eflential injury is done to the whole, and what remains on hand goes off at a very inferior price. “ When a buyer comes to you, the fiift thing he lays to you is, “ I would rather buy your Bourbon, Demarary, or Surinam, if you have any; when I purchafe them I know what 1 buy, which is not the cafe with Georgia.” “ If the Carolina planterthinks that the trouble of preparing his cocton nicely is too great, and therefore refolves to take lefs pains and be content with a final ler price, he will find himfelf deceived, and is not aware of the evils which will follow, and which will amount to little lefs than the ruin of this great ftaple of the fouthern Hates. “ So long as the Carolina planter will prepare his cotton in the very beft manner for mar ket, he need fear no competition. The natural fuperiority is fuch, that no influx from the Eaft or Weft-Indies, the Brazils or Smyrna, can materially aftedt it—The merchant in Charlefton does not rely entirely on his cor refpondent in England, and wait for his information, but looking principally to Charlefton and Savannah, the quantities made and other local drcumftanccs of (hipping, &x. offers a price accordingly j and if the planter choofes to confign, the conlignee in England is happy to receive his confignment, and will be furc to difpofe of it to advantage. But if the Carolina planter neg ledls to prepare his cotton, he muft be content to be on a level with other planters in other parts of the world; the confe quence will be that the Tale of his cotton (which would be in in a great meafure, independent of the crops of other countries) muft depend entirely on the prof* pedis in other parts of the globe, with this certain difadvantage of always being artificially inferior in point of preparation. The merchants in Charlefton, there fore, will be afraid to buy—the conlignee in England will be afraid to receive confignments, and the manufadlurer will only purchafe Georgia, when he can procure none other. lc Thus Georgia, and Carolina will meet with a dull and uncer tain, inftead of a fure and rapid fait and that cotton which lias ufually fetched iBd. and upwards will not perhaps net more than one (hilling. “ Major Butler has been this year fovery highly commended for his great (kill and care in preparing his cotton in every refpedl, that we recommend him as a model to all planters. We are not connedted with that gentleman, we only repeat the language of ail the great London purchafers. We have alfo re ceived fome very fine parcels, but it is not fufficient in a nation al point of view, that a few planters fhould be fkilful and attentive in preparing their cot ton —all fhould be fo, that a ge neral national confidence fhould be eftabliffied. If one half or more are negligent this will in jure thofe who are ever fo care ful and adroit. t( A ftmilar complaint cxifted inPernambucain the Brazils, and their cotton was finking very faft, at length it was refolvcd to cftablifh an infpedlion, which we believe takes place previous to the adlual bagging. This removed the evil and their cot tons are bought in proportion to their quality with avidity and confidence. “ We do therefore mod leri oufly recommend the eftablifn ment of an infpjdlion, if prac ticable, and at all events a great er care and attention. This ad vice is the refult of fome expe rience, and much inquiry and convcrfacion with the different buyers, and is dilated by a fin cere and anxious wifh to promote the profperity of Carolina.” Extracts from the records of the treafury, as publilhed by Al bert Gallatin. " Increaleof the public debt, from the id day of January 1790, to the ill day of January, 180c —Nine millions , four hun dred and fifty-tvso thoufand, two hundred and fixty-four dollars, and thirty-eight cents.” This enormous fum in Spa nifh dollars, would load two hundred and ninety-five wag gons, carrying each one ton weight. The annual augmen tation of die debt fince the year 1790, to the beginning of this year, will annually load twenty nine waggons with fiivcr, at a ton w'eight per load. Is this the profperity that has been wrung in our ears from Ncw-Hampfhirc to Georgia? Is this the refult of that wifdom in the adminiflration, which has been trumpeted from almoll every pulpit in New-England ? Is this additional load to tiic public debt, the fruit of what has been arrogantly filled a neu tral pofition ? Where are the members of congrefs who in their farewell «ddrei!cs, (xtol the purity and ability of the prefent adminiflra tion ? Are thefe yokes about our necks lome of the good crops, in the metaphor of Ro bert G. Harper ! where he fays, “ If you had an overfeer, who for ten years together had made good crops, and kept your plantation in excellent order, would you turn him away ?’* Such crops of filver and gold as the country is held to pay, may afford very good pickings for overfeers; but a continuation of them will foon dram the land of every thing valuable, and bankrupt the owners. Mr. Elarper again fays, “we know the prefent adminiflration by the fuccefs of their actions.” Do my fellow citizens for a mo ment let us fearch for this fuc cefs. Is it in taxing every arti cle that a man eats, drinks, or wears, of foreign growth or ma nufacture, at an average of 20 per cent ad valorem ? Is it to be found in borrowing money at 8 per cent per annum ? Is it in a Ramp tax, in a land tax, or in a houfe tax ? Shall we feek for ic in the management of exterior relations ? Is it in the indiferi midate capture of our velfeis by the Britifh ? Is it in the proftra tion of our independence and character at the court of St. James’?, by Mf. Kins and Mr, £No.
