The maflfa cre in State-fireet was accompanied with the fame tali'ehoods, as the cour tier on board the Chesapeake, &c. It is fortunate for this Country that the fame kind of argument Ihould not be used, as it mu ft convince Britain, that what they now fay, is equally as falla cions as wluit they formerly said. It will convince them, if they follow their advice kqvj, they will be as woe fully deceived as they were then. — Sinister consequences will follow fun- Uar raeifares. The truths have .al ways proved the molt diiaitrous advi ses of Britiih policy. Irt no iuftance have they prcrii&cd right, but in every one have led their followers into the moll fatal errors. The lories did more towards the speedy dbtainmenc of Atn ric2n independence than eve a its friends. They so caafianriy kc, t the Eryghih in wrong by falle re ptefentztiens, that the Americans gained their objects with much gr n er facility by their blunders. The fortes so greatly loved their case and money, that they would advise toinea fures without giving themfeives arty tjotlb’e to judge ofthrir efficacy, and as long as they were paid, they cared but little what difalters best! those who were employed in the execution. Many a brave Englishman has fallen a fscrafice to tory perfidy. They are -neither friends to England or Ameri ca—but facrahccd both couniiies for ease and Money, T'its being the real chara&er of thei tory I incite:, in America, it is fip'pii-j fuig yhat the Briiifh nation have not tienovunced them as a band of unpnn cs‘//id incendiaries, inftcad of attencl- AT/g to any mealutes recommended by thrtn.

For the INTELLIGENCER. NOTHING can afford wore concluffve and fatistatlory evidence cf the proiperous con dition of any itate, than the indSiftry of its in-, habitants. Perfouai activity and perseverance beget competency and independence. An in dutterious people, relying upon their ow.f exer tions for a subsistence, wiii coofider the fir iff at tempt of oppression, as the figmil for rellttance ; 1 and aware of the difficulties to he encountered j in accumulating property, they wsi, in general, spurn the idea of depriving others of their legal right. That general induilry would be produc tive of national be uefit is a prdpoution, which, it is iuppofed, not the molt ht.g.vus will son* left. It then remains only to difeo v r tome ex teufive pla.i, by which the couit.y woulu be benefited, and its citizens generally find employ ment, Other nations may afford us examples, an i it is our own imprudence and apathy that muff be charged with the foHy of our liav, ig never improved by them. Men, ditpoled tt^ la bor, and avetfe to crimes, have been urged by the-rest ftlefs preffbue of powerful want to the commifcion cf deeds violative or ia.v, because though they {ought, they could not obtain em ploynent. A commercial country, properly regulated, it would appear, could afford but few Linnets of this kind ; but commerce in ternally is requilite to the right iup.sort and conduct of commerce externally. Internal ; ommerce gives to the laborer a mean sub- Sitence j ad the result or produce of that in- Ur*: at commerce -carried abroad, yields to the merchant his ultimate profit. Nothing tends so cordsr.erably to meliorate and extend internal, barter as Canals, or Water Passages. The la bor oi digging these, at public expertfe, would afford work and profit to numerous persons ; and when completed, they would be a iource of immeufe .uvantage to the country. The Cui nele are a wealthy people ; ard notwitkttand ing their vail numbers, they are remarkable for their univenal aAivity. Their Canals, of great extent and convenience, are the chief fuurccs of their gc.ic;al wealth and iuduftry. They have made the waters of the Yamour ! and the Argun, of the Kiatft and the Tay tub fcivienf to their system of policy ; and their ter ritory is divided into almolt regular {quarts by the frequent iuterfluAions of their numerous water peffages. An author of received authen ticity informs us that they have no less than ten thousand boats, fome of two hundred tons, kept at the public expense, which trade through these canals. Their country too is eminently favorce by nature—a pas tof it lying under the T ropic oi Cancer, and the rest extending to upwards of thirteen hundred miles north. So, the air of j China is keen, mild and warm, accordingly as j you advance north, or south ; and the toil is | adapted to the production of every nectftsry and j comfort of life. Ingenuity, wealth and activity will always ! result from the difeovery of any plan, by which . tdents and indu try may be encouraged to dis , play themselves. The Chinese dll'covered such j a plan, and they ha ts become rich and perf ever. xng. Their numerous inhabitants are fupphed ’ wffh whatsoever they need at their very doors, by the mean of their canals, and their external i commerce is of great extent. Inland naviga tion has given China her just claim to commer | cud consequence, for that it is, which fpports 1 her foreign trade. Her peopl cither exchange | thiir mutual redundancies j or fame pay gold ! or silver for force equivalent, iuperfiuous to j those, who dispose of it. With gold and silver • foreign commerce is kept tffve with her— ! for in such estimation do her inhabitants hold their own manufactures, that they never think of purchasing those from abroad. Again 1 repeat, what is obvious, that these canals are the great and confidcrablc sources of her industry and wealth. Holland, yat a place cf corffiderable wealth and commercial insportance, when file, m imitation of China, formed large and nume rous canals; saw the treasures cf die world con veyed through them. Ker commercial prosperity may have been, ir.i fome degree, checked by the Commotions of the French under General Piche ?ru in mtiety-fonr ; but her gradual decline has, m my opinion, been aferibed by Zimmerman, 1 very correftly, to the general ftourifhing coi.di tion of other European powers, which have lat terly taken from her a part of her former trade. The Prince of Orange refcced her from the 1 Yoke of Philip, in fifteen hundred and feventy nine ; but a i'ubfequent St. Itholder, taking flight to England, left her to the French in feventeeii liundred and mnety-lour. Whatever tends to facilitate commerce is deserving atten tion. Canals tend to facilitate inland naviga ■don, and, therefore, to accelerate the barter or exchange, which is to be made ultimately a roa . China fat the example, Holland followed i > the civilized world saw plainly how much advan tage they received from their canals, and tne French and Englifli began to prepare them.— ! The canal of Langeudoc, in France, was . ag over immeufe hills and values for cue aimured j miles ; and that of Calais facilitates greatly the pi.ffage over to Dunkirk, Kt. O.mer, and many other places. “The canal of fays an intelligent writer, “ runs a course ot eigh teen Icag ues, to the immense benefit of the pub lic and the Royal Revenue,” and the Ga; - oune has been taught to communicate with the Mediterranean. The Englilh have labored | upon, and vaffly extended the navigation of the j liis, the Avon, the Medway, the Lea, the Lug, 1 the Rennet, the Stroud, the Wey and the Are. Various as the experiments of forming ca nals have been, we observe ail uniformly crowned with final success ; and as fame causes produce like effects, the trial, iff made by us, will succeed also. The expenses, at the outlet, would be confideratiie; but their fatisiaetion aiifin <■ from a public lource, would bear upon individuals too {lightly to beget murmurings ; and their ultimate utility would far outweigh me.eat co.t aim labor. AN OBSERVER. r,r the INTELLIGENCER. M. EAR RE RE, a celebrated politician of modern times, , has obierved with much pro priety, that'Eugland alone is jealous of the* prol perity cf America. She observes the popula tion and extent of our territory considerably iu* crerded, without meddiug one drop of blood.— Advancing toward the summit of national glory, yet prelerving a pacific policy, we have not fail ed to attratr the eye of that overbearing and jealous power. She cannot forget the fcer.es of ih it glorious revolution ; which Ini riling afun dcr the trammels of tyranny, pronounced us worthy of the freedom we had fought for. The fenliment of gratitude does honor to the human heart; and I can feel, at belt, but a very feeble degree of elteem for the man, who kaowa it not. The services of the French, du i ring our revolutionary struggle, are engrafted | m our hearts; and as it is our intereil, so I tA it id vi- be ourir. diration* to cherish the good will of that valiant and undaunted people. Never acting, since our Independence, towards our country, as bound by the laws of equity end oi nations, Great-Britain considered the ac quisition tff Louisiana, as tbs signal for com mencing depredations before unheard of, but between powers avowedly belligerent. Her fears are, as indeed they fiiould be, great ; and the impartial reader can trace in the pages of London papers, nothing but a spirit of difpare,which perhaps not evenErigland, with all her corruption, has before fe*lt. Her excefiive jealousy had already turned its hawk‘s eye to the Banks of the Missouri, and the anti cipation of additional glory to our country, had rouiffd her to insult, ltimulated her to assassina tion, and now commands her to despond. The geographical position of England divides her from the European Continent ; but she i3 sepa rated from the powers cf that Continent, no Less by her intereSs, than by nature. All the ingenuity of her ministers is exerted in deviling plans for obtaining new viftories, which, ix effedled, are scarcely so, before they are dismissed who devised such schemes; and their successors dilplay their genius by giving up the conquefis so recently atchieved. All of the ministers ci her Cabinet have art enough to form a fyfcem for iacreaffng their national dabt; but none of them can find out any thing., like a mode to dii charge it. Indeed, Great-Britain has gone so far in the gulf of iniquity that file nit:ft proceed, or peri Hi. She muff continue corrupt, for if file becomes honcll—fhe is annihilated. This, though a gloomy picture, is a correA one ; and this fabric of corruption, the Bnti/h government, begins to totter—-the nations of the earth will rejoice when ihe falls. NUMA. Fur the INTELLIGENCER . TIIE period has, at last, arrived, when England, {Lengthened by audacity, has call aside the vffl of hypocrisy, and openly avowed j her intensions toward neutrals. She dares to : complain of the French influence on the conti nent, when all the world knows, that/he, and fire alone has given birth to that influence.
