WHEN the news was firft announced, that Louisiana had been ceded to the United States, Duane in the plenitude of his vain importance, undertook to treat it as an idle ftory, and, without any difficulty, declared that the intelligence had arifen from ignorance, or a delign to mifreprefent the conduct of the government on this fubject. He then proceeds to affign his reafons for this opinion 66 "The United States (lays he) ftand in no prefent need of the immenfe countries of Louthana" It would be injurious ;" to our profperity to poffefs Louisiana in full fovereignty at this time, it would diminilh the price of our lands in the confederacy, it would diminifh and difperfe our population.

In the prefent inftance, however, it feems that his friends have not feen fit to trust him, and that contrary both to his expectations and judgment they have actually purchafed Louifiana.

That, however, on the would do them a more acceptable service prefent occafion, was impoffible; for it is on all hands conceded to be an important event to our country, and the other trumpeters of Mr. Jefferson's fame, uniformly concur in afcribing its accompithment to his prudence and wifdom. Duane's mifthough it must be confeffed that his pretake was therefore cruelly unfortunate, fent effort to do it away has not been very fuccefsiul. He is a perfevering fellow, however, and is as little troubled with ri Well done, Holt! Three plump falshoods, in six short lines! Who will wonder, after this, that the democrats are opposed to giving the truth in euidence. Mitchell & Buel have set up a new paper at Kingston, Ulster county, which they very significantly call the "Plebeian." A queer writer in the Ulster Gazette, says he has been searching Bailey's and Sheridan's Dictionaries to find out the meaning of the word, and that the first defines it—“ One of the commonalty, a mean person"—and the other ~" mean persons, belonging to the lower ranks, vulgar, low, common."Mitchell has certainly been more fortunate in the selection of this title than he was when he commenced his "Barometer," alias fog-mill or weather-glass. Mitchell imagines that we did not "relish the word Proem, which entitled his poetic address in the first number of the Barometer." He has therefore" given a different name to a similar production in the first number of the Plebeian."-Mitchell title of his first-born poetry that we disliked, for that It was not the same proem " by any other name, would be as bad” Of this we are convinced by observing, that " Poet's Congee" (the name given to the Plebeian the production) is in no respect better than the Proem. We give the first couplet as a specimen, and leave the reader to judge. "The world had long in darkness groan'd, Alas! poor Tench Coxe!

LOUISIANA. MEMORIAL, ON THE QUESTION, WHETHER IT BE AD- "Presented to the French Government by Mr. Liv. INGSTON the American Minister at Paris." TRANSLATED BY MR. NANCREDE, THIS queftion prefents itself in two points of view ;-Firft, in the relation of commerce and manufactures :-Secondly, in those of the pofitive or relative force of France. เ | by the regular payment of workmen, by kets. Colonies do not excite intereft for their own fake, but only as refpećts the influ ence they may have on a nation; and as one man alone is more useful by remain. ing at home, than two by removing at a dif tance, a wife nation does not seek to colonize until he has a fuperabundance of population, which the cannot ufefully employ in any other way. nothing by the indepedence of America. Her immenté capitals have created a monied dependance, which, in a commercial relation, replaced the fupremacy fhe had loft in the government. The increase of capital in America, trees it in fome degree from that dependancy, and by furnishing her with the means of extending her commerce, and even to offer capitals to other nations, which know how to calculate the value of the markets which fhe offers to manufactures and to the luxury of Europe. It will be readily granted, that Colonies. beyond the feas, add nothing to the force of a nation, thefe are, on the contrary, weak points, which are guarded at a very great expenfe, both in men and money; efpecially if they be in hot and unhealthy climates. The queftion, therefore, is reduced to this, Has France a fuperfluity of men and money great enough to justify the fettling of a new colony? Those which France already poffeffes in the Weft-Indies and at Cayenne, are more than fufficient for her wants, and even the wants of all Europe, if they were cultivated fo as to produce all they are capable of. But how are they to be cultivated? Experience has proved that the inhabitants of hot climates never work from want: Force alone cannot fupply the two great fpurs to labor in northern climates, hunger and cold, which nature placed in thofe fevere climates. Hence flavery alone can fertilize thofe colonics, and flaves cannot be procured but at a great expence. The Spanish part of Hifpaniola was almoft uncultivated for want of flaves. It is now poffeffed by France; and, to ren der it of advantage, it will be neceffary to lay out immenfe capital in flaves, in buildings, and in improvements of uncultivated lands. Others will be neceffary to make up for the loffes of the French part of that, not to mention the other Islands. Where are thofe capitals to be found? Men who travel into diftant and unhealthy climates are feldom wealthy.-Thofe riches muft therefore be found in France, or in fome country that has a fuperfluity of capital. If they are found in France, it can only be to a certain degree at the expence of internal manufacturers. It may, however, appear advantageous, in a national point of view, to encourage the ufe of the riches of France for that object; confidering the extreme fertility of the French Weft-Indies, and their prefent fituation of culture, thofe funds will foon Hence when a foreign veffel, elpecially ed time. In England, on the contrary, he will find all forts of goods, in one hour, from one manufacture, the reputation of which would fuffer, if the whole fupply were not of the fame quality with the fample. This confideration will ever induce a foreigner to apply to an English, in preference to a French merchant, for a purchase of goods of the fame kind. Hence cargoes are fold in France, and the proceeds carried to England, there to be fold for articles. factures were rich enough to anfwer every which France might fupply, if her manudemand, in a fhort time, without compel great number of manufactures. Though very confiderable, the popula tion of France is very far from having reached the term which renders colonies neceflary: Her foil, climate, and local fit-ling the purchafer to have recourfe to a uation give her, as a commercial, and efpecially as a manufacturing nation, great advantages over all the nations of Europe. The fpirit of invention, the taste and induf try of its inhabitants, place her in the first rank. But thofe advantages are wonderfully abridged by the want of capitals fufficient to make use of them. A rival nation, greatly inferior in every one of these particulars, has, by the effect alone of an immense capital, obtained the fuperiority, ||yond doubt, that capitals open new chan-yield a profit. But as long as money will not only in commerce, but also in manufactures; and thefe advantages, by increaf-chants whofe capital is fmall, than to connels; for nothing is more natural for mer- command fo high an intereft; fo long as the interior of the Republic hall offer ing the national fortune, furnish it with the tent themfelves with acting the part of Bro- monied men a louce of fpeculation, and means of maintaining that very fuperiori.hers or Commiffion-Merchants; to thofe property fhall lie in fo tew hands, it will be Capitals increase the number of many- who can fupply them with goods on cred difficult to induce the majority of them to factories, by the introduction of machines, it; and forthis, very reafon, England loft difpollefs themfelves of this capital to fend This inconveniency can only be removed by increafing the capitals of manufactures. It would be too great a deviation from my fubje&t, to point out the means of obtaining those capitals; but it is evident, that they must be confiderably leffened by the forming of a Navy, at the expenfe of manufactures, or by using the capitals of the nation in diftant countries. It is be it at a diflance, and run the risk of the in- || tegrity of their agents, and all those whom recent examples have taught them to dread. Foreign coin was formerly introduced into France through the United Provences: but the prefent ftate of the Batavia Colonies, and the loffes they have fuftained by the war, leave but little hope, that much may be used in the reftoring of French Colonies. probably hereafter will be able to difpofe || ing of forefts requires too great outsets for in a long feries of years. any one but the owner of the land. Who then will cultivate Louisiana with flaves? Who is the citizen willing to bef tow large capitals upon fo precarious a property with a prospect of à difiant re turn? But if to all this, we add the immenfe poffeffions in Guyanna, her productions, and the capitals neceffary to carry the whole of it to its full value; if we add the fettlemeats neceflary to be made in India, if the defign be to bring into the ports of France that variety of articles which invite exchanges, and give commerce its due activity, we fhall find that one century at leaft will pass away before France may want poffeffions of that kind. But as France has, like other countries, but a confined capital, the only queftion is, where fhall this capital be placed? fhall it be here? in the Weft Indies? at Cayen. ne? in India, or at Louifiana? For it is obvious that what will be placed in one of thofe fettlements will be at the expente of another; it is equally fo, that the national exper ditures will increafe with her colonies; and that, in cafe of war, the points of attack and defence will be multiplied in the fame ratio.. The United States poffefs confiderable capitals in money, and productions neceffary to the reftoration of the Ilands. No great credit, in money, will probably be given to the planters; but with fuitable encouragements, there is no doubt they will be able to obtain thofe productions which muft, were it not for that circum ftance, be paid for in cafh, and the commercial fpeculations of the United States will extend to the French Islands, when the public and private credit of France ihall have been restored, and when experience hall have convinced the people how unwife it is to establish a revenue upon foreign trade, while it is in fact collected from their own citizens. At Hifpaniola, a duty of 20 per cent. is paid upon articles introduced by ftrangers.-This duty is in fact paid by ftrangers, and it happens that fraud, and the bad adminiflration of Cuftom-Houfes, is, as ufual, a fource of vexation for foreign merchants. But it is the planter who fu nifhes the money, for this tax is always added to the price, and even an interest is advanced upon it as a compenfation for the vexations which the captains experience in their commerce. What then is the effect of that operation, if not to take from the planter one-fourth part of the money which he had fo much difficulty to get from France? Or otherwife to ftop, by that means, partly the reeftablishment of the capitals which alone can render the Islands finally productive? I fay finally, for it is folly to believe that that they will yield to France a compenfation for her actual outfets, unless it be after a great many years. I will even fay, that unless the ports of Hifpaniola are open to every veffel loaded with articles of neceffity, unless the inhabitants have the zight of buying cheap and felling dear, by encouraging the rivalry between the fellers and purchafers, unlefs every fort of vexation is removed, and ftrangers receive every poffible fecurity for their capitals in the Inlands, ages will pafs away before Hifpaniola will ceafe draining France of its riches and frength without offering her any equivalent return. It is therefore, evident, that if France had no other poffeffion beyond the feas, except her iflands, it might eafily place all the capital of which the now can, and It may be asked, why does it not happen. in the fouthern States? It is aufwered, first, because none are foutherly enough to be wholly free from the colds of winter, which render favage life very difficult to men, born in hot climates; and fecondly, because the southern States are moftly furrounded by the sea, and by mountains, the whole population of which is white, and which cut off the communication between the flaves and the vast forests of the interior parts. But let us fuppofe all thefe difficulties overcome, what commercial advantages can France derive from the fettlement of this colony? The productions of Louilia. na being the fame with thofe of the WeftIndies, no advantage is to be reaped, for the Iflands, being well cultivated, will fuffice for the wants of France, and even all E. rope. The introdution of thofe from Louifiana, would only leffen the price without adding any thing to the value, and France would be obliged, to prevent the ruin of thofe who had employed their funds in the colonies, to imitate the Dutch, who deftroy their fpices and teas, when the quantity of thefe commodities ja Europe is large enough to caufe a depe ciation of their value. Able ftatefimen have questioned whether colonies were useful to a country fituated like France; but my defign is not to examine this theory. France has colo. nies; he has invited her citizens to go and carry their riches to them; honor requires that the keep and protect them; but The is under no obligation to create new ones to multiply points of defence; to fquander away the capitals fhe wants at home and abroad. How could the poffeffion of Louisiana be useful to her? In the fit place, its cultivation is to be carried on, as in all warm countries, by flaves; the capitals fpent in buying them, or the faves themfelves, would have been carried to the Ilands, if this new channel had not opened. This rivalry will raife the price of flaves for the planters, and may thus much retard the feulement. On their arrival at Louisiana, the flaves will be employed in the barren pccupation of felling the large forefts with which this immenfe country is covered, a labor but little fuited to Blaves, for it requires being long accustomed to the axe, and force and activity are feldom found in flaves. They must be clothed, fed and maintained during whole years before any profit can be derived from them. What I am about to relate may ferve to determine that period. In the Northern and Middle States of America, the ufual term of a quit-rent leafe in the new lands is ten years free from rent, and after this the leffee pays 12 bush- I fhall prefume further to lay down, els of wheat for every hundred acres for- however paradoxical it may feem, that it is ever. It is, therefore, obvious, that the not advantageous for France to fupply herfirst ten years are confidered as a time of felf with lumber, even if he could procure expenfe, during which term the owner re- it from. Louifiana. I have two reasons to quires no payment. But in the Southern offer What lumber the northern States States, new lands cannot even be given out fupply her colonies with is paid for in mo on thofe terms, because the white planter laffes and fome rum. The first article fets higher value on his labor, and the clear-cofts the planter nothing, for, were it not The productions of Louifans, which do not grow in the Well-Indies, are only lumber, and perhaps rice; but it is certain that thofe productions, confidering the unfalubrious climate, will not cover the difficulties of procuring them in a hot and outfets, or, at leaft, will not yield the fame profits, as would be procured by railing them in the Iflands, in procuring the fame or other and more valuable articles. The proof of this is found in the United States. It is not from Georgia nor SouthCarolina, that the Weft-Indies are fuppli ed with lumber, but chiefly from the Northern States, where forefts are more scarce and more valuable than in the South. The caufe of this is, that the fupplying of lumber, the mills neceffary to prepare them for fale, all the fe are the work of free hands, which are fatisfied with a moderate price. 66 29. for that, this would be an ufelefs produc tion of his fugar, and the fecond is but a very moderate expenfe for diftillation. If it were confumed in America, molaffes would be thrown away as ufclefs, and this was the cafe when America was à British colony, becaufe French commerce does not offer any other market for that com. modity.
