tedgement to France, th?.t {he was equally entitled to the fame right of searching American (hips coming from British Dorts, and fending them into Gaudaloupe for adjudication. What fay the tones and the British -pap.trt to this principle. \Vill they concede the right to both nations equally ? Will they admit that France has the right to do what they allow Britain has the right to do? Will their prelTes not teem with more a fcufe of French cruizers, than they now, do of British , for this privilege of fend-! ing in for condemnation on suspicion r Are the merchants of the United States ready to concede equally to one as to the ether ? if they are, and Britain makes an ample apology for maflacre cf the crew of the ChefapeaJke—the murder of Pearce —refiitutin of pltrn dcred property —and release our itn prehed feamen — We then say , if our •merchants art purely agreed, then in jQod’s. rwrife, let them fay that they arc so willing,and that this imiverfal pow er of teatrch be fully acknowledged and let the American people be not troubled with the complaints of out merchants if they are willing to fur render their rights aivJ property too — let this chi's of citizens take the prod and the loss to themselves, and no lon ger reproach the national government .if they fhoald recognize what the com plaints themselves juftify. No? Let every American citizen take and hold fad the firm ground which he is now in pofleffion of, and fur port the adminiftrarion in demand ing a full remuneration of all our wrongs—let us never abandon the light of the flag to protect all that fails beneath it. Let us borrow an apo thegm upon which we can (land, anti kt us never abandon it. Indemnity for the past t and security Jcr the future ! Ruufed by the murders on board the Chesapeake, the federal papers came forward with all the profeffed zeal of real Americans, to relent those murders—it is with regret we have fecn finee that time, in lome of them, a cooling off , and fuoferviency to every tory or hair braned scribbler. But we once more call to the seri ous confederation of our merchants, that if Rich principles are supported by them —then American vessels w ill be the prey of every nation in Europe for every nation will be united against Britain —Look you to it, who are in terfiled. Fran the Charleston Times, HOW indignant tr.ufi: every true American fed, when he fees in what an jafulting fiy’e, Ettglilh Editors men tion the public meetings in the United States, in confequene* of the attack on the Chefapeakc. When they bes towed the epithet c ‘ mobocracy” on those who composed these aflembiies, ‘did these hirelings know that they wete attended by the full characters of the country ? That the venerable patriots of ’j‘o appeared at these meetings, and theie evinced by their conduct, that they felt it a duty cncc again to {land forth against Briti/li tyranny ? These edfcors think it mobdike and imperti nent in the people ior publifhjng in resolves, their sentiments of indigna tion, excited by an acl which grolsly iniuited iheir country, and wantonly cut off their unoffending countrymen. So too our fathers were called rebels, becauTe they magnanimioully deter mined not to fubnr.it to be {laves — These hireling-writers know not (they cannot know) how to edimate the feel ings offtectnen on these occasions. They do know the wide difference there is between the people of America arid that unruly mass at home, who, as their inflrußion may be, either cheer in triumph a reprelentativc, or hone him. Our condußt is not regulated as is the calc in England, by the rule of pounds, Bulling and pence. Here the people govern through means of their delegates, and his proper- theii fenfs of things fiioald be knownj fin e I they determine only after due deiibc- Iration. Is it unknown to these edi tors, that among the American peo ple, there is a large proportion of citi zens, who are as well acquainted with the bc!> ioierefls of our country, as their conflitucnts ? It is cur boafi to fay, that such is the case. These are the characters who, by their counsels, direct our mo hoc racy and do lo without the pay of thousands, drawn from the hard earnings of their coun trymen. It was these lovers of their j country who judged it a prop t season for Americans to rally beneath the banners of their country, when Trea son had dared to raise its horrid front, and the bloody roirmydons of a form er opprefTor had C .'.lightered those wr.o protected them. OME OF THE PEOPLE. From Bell’s Weekly MEssEKOtfa, of August 2, (a Landau Paper-) Consequence arA Impolicy of a War with America. The-intelligence of the week has produce:! one-event upon , which it is .impoiHble.tr> rcSf.it without a feutiment cf indignation. The in temperance of one of our -Admirals has Ready involved us in a war with America. The in temperance of the party writers at home ha hurried them not only to approve of the conduit of oar officers, but to make the unqualified after tFon, that,a war with America would be an ul - good—an abfaluts advantage to us. A war with A meric* an unbounded good ! We really wiih that these advocates for war would confuilt the merchants of London, Liver pool and LriHot. They would fuou be com pelled into other canclufions. America, fay these advocates, monopolizes the whole of our Colonial Carrying Trade. This is a manifeft injury to British Commerce.— In deed ! Why is it, good friends, that our mer chants prefer the Americans as carriers to carri ers of their own nation ? For no other rcafoE, but because as a neutral, America can afford to take their commodities at a lower freightage.— And is not this an iudifpenfable advantage both to the individual merchant and to the general commerce of the country ? Are tot ourcommo -1 dities thus enabled to come cheaper to market, | and thereby ensure a more certain and morefnee i C V falg. j ’ in this point cf view, the of America is of real benefit tc the genera! commerce of England. Eat the Shipping Trade, lay tiic party-writers, mud proportionately fuiTer—Certainly. But it will net, we hope, be contended, that the inte rs (Is of the general commerce are to be facnficed to one particular branch-—the Shipping or Coun try Trade. There arc, indeed, certain advantages, which are eflcntidl to neutrals, and which r.o Bellige rent Power fhaald grudge to its neutral neigh bor, inasmuch as they themselves fully partici pate in the benefit. Commerce would not only iangnifh, but, in many refpefts would be totally extinguifiied, if these neutral mediums were to be prohibited. In what manner for example, is it, that our colonial produce obtains admission into France and Germany, in difpite of all the re gulations of the French Emperor? It tPer.ly through these neutral mediums. In a word, what America takes in one hand, (lie gives us ten fold with another, She is above a carrier or an agent. Her flag covers the Engiilh as well as the French manufactures. She has no partiality but that of gain, .and as this may be procured equally on both (Idea, so will America be found equally advantageous to both. If America were to be cut off from the Carry ing Trade,'fay the Party Writers, the Britiih merchant would be compelled to employ his own countryr.-en. We have already anlwered this argument.— The employment of the neutral medium is of benefit to the general commerce, and the interest of oiie branch, mull not be consulted at the ex> pence of the whole. The merchants must not fend their commodities into foreign markets, of a price amounting to a prohibition of all purchase, for no other purpose but that they would em ploy their own countrymen. They must not pay convoy and afiurance on commodities (fii gars, for example) which will scarcely pay the Ample freightage. A very (hallow obiefticn is here made. These ccminodilies, fay they, are articles of necefiity ; the buyers mull have them, and will therefore pay the price be it what, it may. , In the firft place, other commodities will en ter into competion with them, and though not so good, the difference being more than compenfat ed'by the inferior priee : will affurediy find a pre ference. In the second place, in the circumstance of a ny advanced price, even the neceffaty buyers take a lei's quantity than ui'uhl. But this dimin* ifhed consumption is so much dead loss to the merchant and manufadlurer. It will not, we hope, oe contended, that there is any thing in the’ advance of price which can indemnify him for his dininilhed sale. The advanced price is but the defrayment of his advanced eaoenfe. If he add any thing beyond, it is a fucred augmentation of his profits beyond their natural level, and of azr.rlt Jttbjecto him tc b? uadsr*i>l4 by tUofs who | will fell at 2 fair profit- liegams noliunj, tneie.-, lore, as we have above laid, Jay his -advanced price, and therefore mud neoetiarily !ofe by ms dimiuifhed sale. Such, then, would be the unneceflary effects of forcing trade into an unnatural channel-—of com polling our Merchants, in the event, and under every circumltance, to employ only Bntilh (nip ping, and disnnfs the neutral medium. Our commerce would fuffer, and ultimately our (nipping. We 11mold shortly have more Harps, but fewer commodities. Tne Ihip-builders would then have just. canfe of complaint, that had em ployed their capitals, in building vessels, which have only to rot in the docks. The result is, that nothing is to be gained by a war with America. Ia her carrying trade, (lie carries for us, and she carries for our enemy. It would be a r.nnifeft injury to our general commerce to deprive her ol die former, and with refpeft to the latter, we should not gain that of which we should deprive America. V.'e could not supply her place l>y becoming carriers to cur enemy ; neither Ihould we nauchdiltrefs tire ene my by cutting off die means of conveyance—we should only throw his carrying trade into another channel—whilst the Danes are neutral, it would be to no purpcle to cut off the neutral medium of America. We might add, that we perhaps gain as mush on one hand as we lose on the other by this neu tral’ communication. America carries Engiilh’ manufa&urca *as often at Jeaft as she carries French. We might aimc.fl fay, that in her chai-a&er as a neutral trader fire carries feared any thing clfe blit Engiilh goods. We have entered into feme and y oil upon this fiibjeft, as there feenis to be a ft range miscon ception upon the very fir it principle of political economy. It is contended, for the fil'd time, that the merchant will lose nothing by being com pelled to fell dear ; and that it is a matter of per fect indifierer.ee in commerce, whether the com modity reaches its market by- a dire A road, and therefore at a natural price, or through all the ob&acles of pofilble interruption, a.d therefore at a very difp.oportionable and a very unnatural price. “ The only difference would be,” fay they, quoting the words of Mr. Randolph, an Ameri can Senator, “ that the Americans will have to give a joe for a commodity, where they formerly gave a dollar.” This might pc the difference to faun a man as Mr. Randolph, who could equally afford to have the commodity, whether it coil a joe or a dollar. But it would be very different with refpeft to the Americans in general. Every one could not purchase at a joe who pnrehafed at a dollar.—- Seme would endeavor, therefore, to do without it, ethers would begin to think of fubflitutes—- Neccflhy is the mother cf invention. Let us not drive the Americans to refourees from which it may be afterwards very difficult to recall them. PHILADELPHIA, September 18. Important. —A captain Turns, lately arrived at the eastward from Alicant, brings the follow ing* information :—Sometime in the beginning of June last, an American br"g, the name of which is not vecolle&ed, but belonging to Nor folk. in Virginia was pursuing her course in the Mediterranean, homeward bound. In lbng. CO, 16. E. she was met with by an armed Tunisian fehooner full rigged and mountiug 14- guns.— The captain cf the Tunisian hailed the Ameri can and ordered him to bring tc. The Ameri can obeyed. Tile Tunisian came along fide, when her captain and several of the men boarded the brig with drawn fabves. The fellows howev er, neither committed nor tfireater.eed violence. They said they meant r.o harm, but only to do what was right. They then ordered the Amer can captain to parade his men on deck, which being done, the Tunisian captaiu went up to two of them, who were mulattics, and a iked to what country they belonged. The American captain said they belonged to his country. The | Tunisian aflted how he knew that. The Amer : ican said they had come with him, like all the . rest of his men from his country. The Tunisian replied that would not do that he had heard A mericans played tricks, that they looked like Muffulmen with ther beards shaved, that Ihey were the very far*.; colour and only, be was sure pretended not to know their own language.- He said that the Bam aw, his mailer, never let Muffulmen go a way from him, that they were MuiTulmen and might be brought back to the prophet. That eipecially now he mull bring back, from whatever seas found, his own chil dren, the followers of the faithful, as he was at war with Algiers and needed them to fight his battles, which were all for the prophet’s fake. The two men were then tafcen out cf the brig and put on board the Tunifiau, the Americans not being able to prevent it. The freebooters said they would go look for more, threw up tht r caps fiiouted and failed off. The brig, thus plundered, was left so fbort of hands, that (he put into Alicant, and was lying there unable to pursue her voyage when captain Tumas came away. The affair was much talk ed of and produced alarm among the Americans who intended to represent the matter properly to their government. RALEIGH, September 24*.
