Late Foreign Articles
DUBLIN, October 27.
A very important circumstance has transpired, relative to the state prisoners, and which has completely disorganized the plan which our government had adopted respecting them. The last mail brought dispatches from St. James's, which state, that the American ambassador has made the strongest remonstrances to the British court against the state prisoners being banished to that country. This remonstrance has produced the desired effect, and it is not now known what step will be taken with respect to them; but it is generally supposed they will be kept in custody during the war.
LONDON, October 27.
The Hamburg mail which arrived on Thursday brought a variety of important intelligence.
In one of the packets came Mr. Ellefworth, the bearer of dispatches from Sir Morton Eden, at Vienna, announcing the destruction of more than three hundred sail of French transports, and the capture of two Venetian frigates in the inner harbour of Alexandria. We understand captain Hood and Trowbridge had the conduct of this grand business, which was completely carried into effect upon the first of Sept. with little or no loss on the part of the British. It is added, that the enemy have also been dispossessed of two forts, commanding the entrance of the harbour of Alexandria.
October 30.
The following is a correct statement of the result of the Brest expedition, so far as the fate of each individual ship is known: Hoche 80, arrived at Loughswilly. Immortalite 44, arrived at Plymouth. Loire 44, arrived at Plymouth. Romaine 44, escaped. Bellone 40, taken, but not arrived. Resolute 44, arrived in Greenock. Coquille 40, arrived in Corrickfergus. Ambuscade 36, do. do. Semillante, 36, escaped.
November 1.
It appears that Admiral Savary, who commanded the three frigates that landed the French in Killala Bay, was the officer who also had the naval command of the last expedition from Brest.
Lord St. Vincent wrote home in his last dispatches, that such was the importance of those intercepted by the Alceste frigate, off Alexandria, from the Directory to Buonaparte, that he should only entrust them in a line of battle ship. The intercepted dispatches from the Havana to the Spanish Government are also reported to be highly important.
YPRES, 4th Brumaire, Oct. 25.
The troops have returned victorious: twenty-five volunteers, supported by 12 hussars of the regiment, commanded by lieut. Jory killed 20 or 30 of the insurgents, and drove the others as far as Hooglede. They took the standard of the commune of Hooglede, upon which the insurgents had printed the imperial eagle. They have brought in five prisoners. Example requires, that they should be immediately shot.
The 2d volunteers did prodigies: the hussars fought like lions. No person was wounded though they received several successful discharges. One volunteer killed 8 men and three priests: his hands, his bayonet, and his hat, were covered with blood. He was separated from his troop, when he was attacked by them: he escaped by freeing the earth of these monsters.
Ten Gens d'armes, one of which was a lieutenant at Morelede, supported the attack of 200 men; the lieutenant was killed.
On the 8th of Vendemaire, the young men of St. Jean de Gard rose in mass, and demanded the route to join the army. Sixty of them arrived at Neimes.
In the night of the 3d and 4th complementary day, the officer commanding the troops stationed in the commune of Narte, department of Ardèche, introduced himself by stratagem into the retreat of Ducouy Douvat, called the king of Luzon, chief of the brigands. They had a combat, body to body, for three quarters of an hour; at length the officer prevailed. He seized the brigand, took from him his arms, and conducted him to the commune of Mezeres, under the escort of 10 men.
BRUSSELS, 7th Brumaire, Oct. 28.
The troops which left this yesterday for Halle, arrived there in the evening. They destroyed in this city 40 individuals who had cut down the tree of liberty. Afterwards they advanced against the rebels of the towns by the neighborhood of Enghein. There was at first a lively discharge, the issue of which was unfavorable to the sedition.
Yesterday there also departed from hence a battalion of infantry, with two pieces of artillery; a detachment of 80 hussars of the fortieth regiment of Eferhazy, in the afternoon took the same route: they have arrived at Liege.
The rebels advanced yesterday to the suburbs of Lovain; they skirmished for some time with our troops, 18 of them were killed, and the republicans lost some men. It appears that city is in some danger; the gates were shut the whole of yesterday. However, those citizens whose business required it, were permitted to go out and in.
On the other hand we are assured, that a party of troops which are at Malines, are about to make a new sortie against the revolted in the neighbourhood, who flew themselves in numbers. However this may be, General Bequinot has ordered the inhabitants of that city, who are provided with arms and ammunition, to repair to the commandant of the place, under pain of being considered and punished as rebels.
There arrive here frequently couriers, with dispatches relative to the state of things. Yesterday one arrived which came from
Holland. A number of commissaries, agents of the municipalities and cantons, and other public functionaries who have abandoned their communes, are arrived here. Our fixed national guard for the first time have done duty this night; the municipal guard is also recognized. All these measures cause our city to enjoy a happy tranquillity.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW YORK, January 29.
We give this day the latest foreign intelligence, via Charleston. One circumstance must strike every reader with astonishment—The total want of integrity in the Journals of France, owing to their fear of the Directory—Every internal occurrence and external event before it is announced—undergoes an alteration accommodated to their views and wishes—The success of their enemies however splendid and important is frittered away into some trifling advantage—gained by mere chance and far over balanced by some circumstance of benefit or glory to themselves—Their own defeats are ascribed to the winds, the waves, the treachery of officers, to every thing rather than to the valour of their enemies and their own want of skill and power—Every address to the public on the state of their affairs is one tissue of misrepresentation and lies.
CHARLESTON Friday, Jan. 18.
Yesterday arrived the brig William, Johnst. n. Greenock, 56 days; brig Nat. Cooper, Prince, Cadiz, 72 days; brig John Henderson, Grimsby, London, 60 days; ship Aradine, Schade, Hamburg, 92 days; ship Nancy, Benthall, Kingston, 24 days.
The Captain of the Clyde frigate informed captain Johnson, that six frigates were refitting by the British government, to be loaned to the United States.
Two Dutch frigates have been taken at the mouth of the Texel, by the Sirius British frigate, of 36 guns, captain King.
Three per cent. Consols in London, 13th November, 57 3/4.
Extract from the Log-Book of the brig John Henderson, capt. Grimsby.
"On the 20th of November last, about 30 leagues to the Westward of the Lizard, spoke the ship Eagle, of Philadelphia, Barry from New-York, to London, all well.
November 5.
A report is in circulation, and generally credited, just received from the Mermaid, stating that Sir John Borlase Warren, in the Canada, with the Foudroyant and Terrible men of war, and Herald sloop, had fallen in with the French squadron from Rochelle, consisting of nine frigates, on the Irish coast, and that one of the latter was observed to strike to the Terrible, and there were great hopes entertained that not one of them would be able to escape.

PHILADELPHIA,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30.
COMMUNICATIONS.
MR. FENNO,
THE publication of Mr. Gerry's Correspondence with Mr. Talleyrand, must be a great source of disappointment to the Democrats, who expected to find a real disposition in the organs of the Great Nation to treat, instead of the bam-boozle and humbug which every letter of the lame duck contains: How must their mouth-mongers feel now? As to altering their opinions and expressions, it is not to be expected; scarce one of them "is to be persuaded though one rose from the dead." It is however some satisfaction to find that, though one Envoy was selected as the most pliant, "The crouching Tiger" could not bait him for his prey." Mr. G. let slip one opportunity, which indeed is to be regretted, of expressing, with proper republican firmness, the opinion of the American People on what Talleyrand had written evidently to meet and mislead the public eye on this side, as all his studied deceit was ably calculated to effect, well knowing his letters would appear in print here. Mr. Gerry observes, in No. 15, to Mr. T. "you conceive that your note which was duly transmitted, &c. will efface from the minds of the American People their unfounded inquietude"; and then says, "of this I can form no judgment"! Unaccountable imbecility! Did the fear of the arch fiend Talleyrand terrify him into this dereliction of proper language? or, was it the just fate of a man who could listen to a secret proposition of being divided from his colleagues of known talents and tried virtue, after each of them had separately scorned the base attempt as to each other and to Mr. G.? How much more manly is T's answer!—After observing to Mr. G. that he "had taken the trouble, &c." he adds, "do me the justice to believe that I have not committed this mistake"; and goes on to say, "the part you take tends to give room to conjecture, that the vessel arrived at Havre has only brought you orders similar to the acts of which I complained". Towards the conclusion of this reply, how ingeniously the cloven-footed Minister appeals to the Democratic and Jacobin Clubs in America, to whom indeed he is evidently addressing himself (through Mr. Gerry)—"The French government, nevertheless, has not ceased to offer the exact justice which it demands—It has never refused and never will refuse to enter into discussions upon every proper subject". Now, Mr. Fenno, if your readers will only introduce the word "endless," into this sentence of T., it will read correctly, thus, "never will refuse to enter into endless discussion, &c."
Towards the conclusion of No. 19, Mr. Talleyrand offered another opportunity for comments very different from those, we find, were made, without using either the delusive circle of "diffusion" or the bitter-sweet of reproach, which, unable to retort, the crafty Bishop insists on being abused." When, in effect, he gives the go-by to the idea of compensation by award, observing that "as to the eventual arbitrament of a third power, &c. The French Republic has never experienced the want of it," no indeed Citizen Minister, your republic would long since have wanted every thing, if your demands had been decided by the awards of justice, but you have found deceit and division your best arbitrators, and the sword the only umpire, whose decision left you no regret.
The omission to embrace those strong occasions of natural comment, might perhaps, have passed with indulgence or without leaving the impression so sensibly made by his letter to Mr. Pickering, where his fears obviously absorb his judgment, forgetful of the well known declaration of war against all monarchies, he proposes to vindicate his own conduct, by remarking on the preparation of France "with the professed design to overthrow the British government," which it is evident to common observation, Mr. Gerry thought would be successful! and that if so, the whole British navy would surrender at discretion, and be manned immediately by the fans culottes!!! an idea equalled only by the children putting a little salt on the bird's tail, to charm it into confinement.

* See Letter 21 end of the 4th section.
A letter from an Italian Jew to his brethren, a translation of which is published in the English papers, seems to afford a new clue to the discovery of the object for which Buonaparte and his army was dispatched to Egypt. The eccentric propensities of the French nation are unlimited; and the development to which this letter leads, though extravagant in the extreme, is by no means inconsistent with their general character.
The Hebrew, after breathing a pious sigh over the miseries of his despised and unpitied brethren, exclaims, "It is at least time to shake off this insupportable yoke—it is time to resume our rank among the other nations of the universe. Vile Robbers possess that sacred land which our ancestors were compelled to yield to the Romans. They profane the Holy city which we defended with so much courage. Posterity has preserved a dreadful remembrance of the struggle—we surely have not forgotten it. That courage has only slumbered: the hour to awaken it has arrived. O! my brethren! let us rebuild the temple of Jerusalem!"
"An incunable nation, which now fills the world with her glory, has shown us what the love of country can perform. Let us implore her generosity—request her assistance; and we may be assured that the philosophy which guides the chiefs of that sublime nation will induce them to give our demand a favorable reception."
"We are more than six millions of people scattered over the face of the earth. We
possess immense riches. Let us employ the means that are in our power to restore us to our country. The moment is propitious; and to profit of it, is our duty."
The writer then proceeds to digest a plan whereby to systematize the operations of the sect, so as to ensure success. For this purpose they are to be divided into fifteen tribes: the Italian, the Helvetic, the Hungarian, the Polish, the Russian, the Northern, the British, the Spanish, the Gallic, the Dutch, the Prussian, the German, the Turkish, the Asiatic, and the African. Each of these tribes shall nominate a delegate, who together shall form a council, to hold its sittings in Paris, and whose decisions "shall have with all the Jews the force of laws. This council are to appoint an agent to communicate to the Executive Directory of France the proposition which it may be thought proper to make to the French government."
"The country we propose to occupy shall include (liable to such arrangements as shall be agreeable to France) Lower Egypt, with the addition of a district of country which shall have for its limits a line running from Ptolemais or Saint-John D'Acre to the Afphalitic Lake or Dead Sea, and from the South point of that Lake to the Red Sea. This position, which is the most advantageous in the world, will render us, by the navigation of the Red Sea, masters of the commerce of India, Arabia, and the South and East of Africa. Abyssinia and Ethiopia, those rich countries which furnished Solomon with so much gold and ivory, and so many precious stones, will trade the more willingly with us, that the greater part of their inhabitants still practise the Law of Moses. The neighborhood of Aleppo and Damascus will facilitate our commerce with Persia; and by the Mediterranean we will communicate with Spain, France, Italy, and the rest of Europe.—Placed in the centre of the world, our country will become the entrepot of all the rich and precious productions of the earth.
The council shall offer to the French government, if it will us the assistance necessary to enable us to return to our country and to maintain ourselves in the possession of it, 1st. Every pecuniary indemnification.
2dly. To share the commerce of India, &c. with the merchants of France only.
The other arrangements, and the propositions to be made to the Ottoman Porte, cannot yet be rendered public; we must, in these matters, repose on the wisdom of our council, and the good faith of the French nations.—Let us choose upright and enlightened deputies, and we may have confidence in the success of this undertaking."
The want of a date to this singular project, precludes the possibility of making chronological calculations, by which we might otherwise, perhaps, ascertain whether the "invincible nation" had really been prompted to so desirous and stupendous an undertaking, by the mere chimeras of a speculative Israelite. The blind avidity with which that nation seizes at every thing which it is supposed will contribute either to their glory, or to their emolument, the events that have taken place in the course of the last year, the inexplicable mystery of Buonaparte's warlike mission, and the golden lures which are held out by the artful Hebrews, are considerations which render this conjecture more than probable. The philosophy of the present French chiefs would certainly give a favorable reception to demands which implicated the destruction of the English East India trade; and to this enviable source of British wealth and glory, the Jews have secured their attention, by flattering their expectations.
It is, notwithstanding, a little astonishing, that these Israelites, should discover in the French nation a spirit favorable to the re-establishment in their ancient dominions, or that under the superintendence of 'robbers' they should ever expect to drive from the Holy Land, a people, numerous, hardy, and inured to war! That the French, of all the world, should be called to succeed Solomon, to patronize the laws of Moses, and to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem, for the worship of the true Deity, can only be accounted for by supposing that the Jews meant, as is implicated in the foregoing extracts, to purchase their services, and relying on the influence of their immense wealth, hoped thereby to render the mad ambition of the invincible nation subservient to the restoration of Jewish splendour.—Had Buonaparte succeeded, he would indeed have become the now expected Messiah.
CONGRESS,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 29.
The bill respecting quarantines and health laws, was read the third time and passed.
Mr. Wain presented a petition from the Collector of the Customs of this port, with an official statement of the emoluments received in his office, stating their insufficiency, and praying an augmentation thereof.—Referred to the committee of commerce.
On motion of Mr. Josiah Parker, the house went into a committee of the whole on the report of the navy committee, Mr. Rutledge in the chair; and after some discussion the committee rose and reported the following resolutions, which were adopted by the house:
 1. Resolved, That two Docks be established in the United States, and that 50,000 dollars be appropriated therefor.  2. Resolved, That 100,000 dollars be appropriated for the purchase of Timber to be used or preserved for the building ships or vessels of war of the United States.  3. Resolved, That the Navy of the United States be augmented by a number not exceeding six, of ships of war, to carry not less than Seventy four guns, (to be built within the United States), and a number not exceeding six, of sloops of war, carrying not less than Eighteen guns, (to be built or purchased within the United States) and that a sum, not exceeding one million of dollars be appropriated therefor. 
4. Resolved, That the President of the United States be authorized by law, to augment the number of guns on board any ship now in the service, or building, above the number it may be rated at, and that 350,000 dollars be appropriated for that purpose.
5. Resolved, That the President of the United States, shall be authorized to take on the Navy Establishment, such of the Revenue Cutters now in service, as may be in his opinion fit for service abroad.
The words within parentheses, were introduced on motion of Mr. Livingston.
The first resolution was agreed to without debate. Mr. Parker stated that one of the docks was proposed for the Eastern and the other for the Middle States.
Mr. Parker stated, in support of the second resolution that it was necessary to secure a sufficient quantity of Timber, and to have it in readiness for building ships of war. To effect this, he supposed it would be necessary to purchase a forest of live oak and red cedar. And having good timber secured no nation in the world could build better ships than the United States.
It was objected by Mr. Macon, that this was not a proper time to go into a speculation of purchasing land, for the sake of a future supply of timber, when we are obliged to pay eight per cent for all the money which the government borrows; he wished no more money to be appropriated than was necessary for a present supply of timber.
The motion was carried without a division.
In respect to the third resolution, Mr. Parker stated, that according to the estimate of the Secretary of the Navy, six 74 gun ships would cost nearly 2,400,000 dollars, and the six smaller vessels about 300,000; but though the final vessels are immediately wanted, the 74's could not be built in less than a year, he therefore supposed, that if one million of dollars were appropriated, it would be as much as would be expended before the next session of Congress. Mr. Harper and Mr. S. Smith supported the same opinion.
It was objected by Messrs. Nicholas and Gallatin, that if it were meant that these vessels should be built within a year, as had been mentioned, the whole two millions and a half of dollars ought to be appropriated; that one million only being asked for, was a proof they would not be built within the time stated: they suspected that these vessels are not wanted to meet the present supposed emergency, but that the present moment is merely seized as favorable for carrying into effect the favorite project of a navy, as a permanent establishment, and that a commencement having been once made in the business, the ships might be completed at leisure.—They were therefore opposed to the resolution, and said that those who think it would be desirable at this time to have these vessels, ought also to be opposed to it, since it is evident that they are wanted for future purposes; and considering the present time, when money can only be obtained at a very high rate, as a very improper season, to go into a work of such immense expence to the country.—They had reference to the enormous expence of the three frigates already built, which had cost more, they said, than double the price that six frigates were originally estimated at, and which, it is probable would never have been built, if the whole expence had been at first stated.
It was urged by the friends of the resolution, that one million would be as much money as could be expended, though every possible exertion was made, considering the number of vessels already building.
This resolution was the only one upon which a division was called. It was carried, by 52 votes rising in its favor.
Mr. Parker stated the object of the 4th resolution to be, to enable the President to put on board three of the 24 gun vessels, 8 additional guns, making them frigates of 32 guns. The 5th resolution was to place such of the revenue cutters on the Navy Establishment as might appear proper. A law was passed at the last session to take them into service; but not being placed on the navy establishment, the officers are unwilling to go into the service, without the same rank and pay with the officers in the navy, and one of them had refused to act. This resolution is necessary to rectify the defect.
No opposition was made to these resolutions; and the whole were referred to the select committee who reported them, to bring in a bill or bills accordingly.
The house went into committees on two bills which were agreed to, and ordered to be engrossed, viz. a bill for the relief of Gazam, Taylor and Jones, and a bill for the relief of Jonathan Haskell. Adj'd.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Virginia to his friend in Philadelphia, dated January 20th, 1799.
"I have this morning been favored with a perusal of yours of the 9th inst. to our friend. I am happy to find that congress are taking measures for the punishment of such persons as shall in future dare to assume to themselves the right of exercising powers, which the people by their constitution have placed in other hands. It is surely a matter of the greatest importance to the happiness of our country to prevent by law the improper interference of any person, who, whether influenced by good or bad motives, may rashly interpose himself between our own and a foreign government, and thereby commit the best interest of our country. I am inclined to believe that Logan has been used merely as a tool in the late affair, and has been urged, not so much by any hope of doing good or bad, as by his vanity. I hope the curtain will yet be raised, and that the real actors behind it, will be seen."

WHEREAS, BY an Act of Congress passed the sixteenth day of July in the year of our Lord one thou- sand seven hundred and ninety eight, the Presi- dent of the United States is authorized to borrow on behalf of the United States from the Bank of the United States, or from any other body or bodies politic or corporate, or from any person or persons, and upon such terms and conditions as he shall judge most advan- tageous for the United States, a sum not exceeding five millions of dollars, so however, that no contract or engagement be made which shall preclude the United States from reimburs- ing any sum or sums borrowed at any time after the expiration of fifteen years from the date of such loan. And whereas, it is declared by the said Act, that so much as may be necessary of the surplus of the duties on Imports and Ton- nage beyond the permanent appropriations here- fore charged upon them by law, shall be pledg- ed and appropriated for paying the interest, and also for paying and discharging the principal sum or sums of all the monies which may be borrowed, according to the term or terms which may be fixed, pursuant to the authority afore- said—And whereas, by the said Act, the faith of the United States is pledged to establish sufficient permanent Revenues for making up any deficien- cy that may hereafter appear in the provisions before-mentioned for paying the interest and principal sums, or either of them, of any monies which may be borrowed pursuant to the said Act. And whereas the President of the United States did by an Act or Commission under his hand dated the ninth day of January in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine, au- thorize and empower, the Secretary of the Treas- ury, to borrow on behalf of the United States, any sum not exceeding in the whole, five mil- l- ions of dollars and to make such contract or contracts as should be necessary, and for the in- terest of the United States, in pursuance of the Act of Congress above recited.
Now therefore, the undersigned, Secretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of the Act of Congress, and the authority from the President of the United States, above mentioned, doth hereby on behalf of the United States of Amer- ica, contract and engage in manner following, to wit:
1st. A book for receiving subscriptions to a Loan of five millions of dollars for the use of the United States shall be opened in the city of Philadelphia, at the Bank of the United States on Thursday the twenty eighth day of February ensuing, which book shall continue open for the purpose of receiving subscriptions, until the whole of the said five millions of dollars shall be subscribed. If more than five millions of dollars shall be subscribed on the first day of opening the said Loan, the surplus shall be de- ducted in proportion to the sums subscribed by individuals, exceeding four thousand dollars.
2d. For every hundred dollars which may be subscribed there shall be forthwith deposited and paid the sum of twelve dollars and fifty cents, and like payments of twelve dollars and fifty cents, shall be made within the first ten days of the months of April, May, June, July, August September and October ensuing. The Secre- tary of the Treasury however reserves the right of reducing the number of installments by spe- cial agreements, with the individuals who may become subscribers.
3d. On the failure of payment of any install- ment of the sums subscribed according to the tenor of the second article, the next preceding installment of twelve dollars and fifty cents, which shall have been paid, for every hundred dollars subscribed shall be forfeited to the Unit- ed States.
4th. The sums subscribed shall and may be paid to the credit of the United States, at the Bank of the United States, or at the offices of discount and deposit of the said Bank at Boston, New York, Baltimore, or Charleston, or at ei- ther of the Banks of Salem, in Massachusetts, Newport and Providence in Rhode Island, Hart- ford in Connecticut, Albany in New York, and Alexandria in Virginia, for which payments, the receipts of the Cashiers of the Offices of Dis- count and Deposit and of the Banks aforesaid shall be received at the Bank of the United States as equivalent to money; but no payment of a subsequent installment shall be received at any other place than that where the first installment was paid, except at the Bank of the United States; in case any deposits shall be made at the offices of Discount or Deposit, or at either of the Banks aforesaid, which shall not be applied to the payment of the first installment of subscrip- tions to the Loan aforesaid, the said deposits shall be forthwith refunded by directions from the Treasury.
5th. For the sum or number of shares of one hundred dollars, which may be subscribed, cer- tificates shall be given by the Cashier of the Bank of the United States, which shall be assignable by indorsement, and delivery of the parties in whose favour the said certificates may be issued, until the completion of the payments required by the tenor of the second article preceding.
6th. The sums subscribed and paid in pursu- ance of the tenor of the second article preced- ing, shall after the said payments have been completed, constitute a funded capital stock divisible into shares of one hundred dollars each, which capital stock shall bear interest at the rate of eight per centum per annum from the times fixed for the payment of the respective install- ments payable quarterly yearly at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the same may stand credited, until the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eight.
7th. After the last day of December in the said year one thousand eight hundred and eight, and after reasonable notice to the creditors, which shall be given by an advertisement in some public news- paper, printed at the seat of the government of the United States, the said capital stock shall be re- deemable at the pleasure of the United States by the reimbursement of the whole sum or sums borrowed, and which may constitute the said capi- tal stock either at the treasury of the United States or at the loan offices where the same may stand credited.
8th. The credits for the said capital stock shall and may be separately certified in sums either for one hundred, four hundred, one thousand, four thousand or ten thousand dollars, and the credits so certified shall be transferable by the creditors, or their attorneys, at the Treasury and Loan Offices respectively, in pursuance of the rules which have been, or which may be established relative to the transfer of the funded stock of the United States. 9th. A sufficient sum of the surplus of the duties on Imports and Tonnage beyond the permanent appropriations heretofore charged upon them by law, together with the faith of the United States are hereby pledged for the fulfillment of this con- tract, in pursuance of, and according to the terms and conditions of the act of Congress herein be- fore recited.

Is there an American, young or old, not in- terested in the History of the first Rise and Progress of his native Country, and from so celebrated a pen as that of Doctor Robertson?
Just Published, AND TO BE SOLD BY JAMES HUMPHREYS, No. 59, South Third Street, opposite the Bank to the United States, (Price one dollar neatly bound and lettered, in boards, six shillings.) Dr. Robertson's History of (BRITISH) AMERICA, Containing The history of Virginia to the year 1688, and the history of New-England to the year 1654, be- ing what the Doctor had completed pre- vious to his death. It has lately been given to the public with a pre- face by his son at Edin- burgh, has already passed through three or four editions, and has been transla- ted and pub- lished in French at Paris.
Mr. Robertson in his preface observes, "During the course of tedious illness, which he early foresaw would have a fatal termination, Dr. Robertson at different times destroyed many of his papers: But after his death, I found that part of the History of (British) America which he had wrote many years before, and which is now offered to the public. It is written with his own hand as all his works were; it is as carefully corrected as any part of his manuscripts which I have ever seen; and he had thought it worthy of being pre- served, as it escaped the flames to which so many other papers had been committed. I read it with the utmost attention; but, before I came to any resolution about the publication, I put the MSS. into the hands of some of those friends whom my father used to consult on such occasions, as it would have been rashness and presumption in me, to have tended to my own partial decision. It was per- fected by some other persons also, in whose taste and judgment I have the greatest confidence: by all of them I was encouraged to offer it to the public, as curious and interesting in itself, and not inferior to any of my father's other works." The Editor of the Paris Edition apostrophizes the above work in the following manner. "Every thing ensures success to this volume the talents and reputation of the author, and the impression still recent in the minds of all who have read the excellent work of which this is the com- pletion—all conspire to give it an extensive spread. The history of America was the master-piece of one of the two ablest, it ranks one of the two only modern historians. He has created this part of history, distinguished this chaos of the New World, distinguished with the hand of a master the part of genius, fortune, courage and crime, and conque- red as it were, America, for literary, commercial, and political Europe."
"To ensure this last volume circulation, it is necessary only to name its author, and to remark, it possesses all that acuteness of observation, that periphrasy of exposition, the art of referring effects to causes, and of mingling with the account of events, the wholesome and most approved principles of morals and politics, for which this writer was so eminently conspicuous—in short, that it exhibits the talents of Robertson." jan. 19. fjt
