PROPOSALS BY WILLIAM COBBETT, For importing the following periodical publications:
 1. The British Critick;  2. The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine;  3. The Gentleman's Magazine;  4. Le Mercure Britannique, or The British Mercury. 
The British Critick is a regular Review of all the works published in Great Britain; it is conducted with great impartiality and ability, and of the numerous publications of the kind which do now appear, and which have appeared in Great Britain; it is universally allowed to be the best. [Price 50 Cents.]
The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine is as its title seems to indicate, rather more confined, as to the nature of its subjects, but it certainly is not less calculated for extensive utility. This work is divided into four departments: 1. Original Criticisms—2. A Review of the other Reviews—3. Occasional Essays, in prose and verse—and 4. A Monthly Summary of History and Politics. Every six months it has a supplement, containing a review of foreign works, not forgetting those of America. The Anti-Jacobin dwells less on subjects which are merely literary and scientific, than on those which have a more immediate influence on society. With a bold and masterly hand, it corrects the blunderings of error, rectifies the intricate windings of misrepresentation, and strips off the mask of hypocrisy. The arrowed champion of the church and the state, it spares the enemies of neither, whether open or secret; and, forming the popularious defensive, upon which the friends of truth have long acted, it carries on a continual and vigorous offensive warfare against anarchy, immorality, and irreligion, and thus establishes by its uniform conduct, its right to the title it has assumed. [Price 50 Cents.]
The Gentleman's Magazine, a work stamped with the approbation of three score years, consists chiefly of communications from antiquaries and cultivators, and of original essays, in verse and prose, written by the most learned and ingenious men in the kingdom, and embracing by turns, almost every subject interesting to man. The miscellaneous part of the work is followed by a selection of authentic foreign and domestic intelligence, including official reports, state-papers, and an abstract of the proceedings in parliament; next comes a very copious obituary, being not merely a list of deaths, but a valuable series of biography; to which is added, a Meteorological Diary and Table, a Bill of Mortality for London and its environs, a table of the average prices of corn, and of the stocks, for every day in the month: So that this work must ever be an entertaining and useful companion, not only to those who are of the learned professions, commonly so called, but to the merchant, the farmer, and, in short, to every man, whatever may be the subject of his study, or the object of his pursuit. [Price 40 Cents.]
Le Mercure Britannique, or British Mercury; by Monsieur Mallet Du Pan.—This work, of which one number is published every fortnight, in French and in English, commenced in August 1798, and is continued with increasing spirit and celebrity. It is both historical and critical; it contains a summary, and is the repository, of all the important events, established facts and public instruments, which relate to the present era; it investigates points of fact, of politics, and national rights; it extends its view over all the nations of Europe, examines the conduct and discloses the motives of their respective courts; it is in short, it is a brief and comprehensive history of the times, equally remarkable for the elegance of its style, the profundity of its remarks, and the soundness of its principles. [Price 50 Cents.]
These four works comprise every thing useful in the periodical way. Gentlemen may subscribe for all, or for either, of them. The first order is intended to be sent off on the 1st of May next; the successive numbers will be received at New York in two months upon average after, their publication in London, so that those who are subscribed for on or before the 1st of May, will be received in September; after which they will with very little irregularity, come to hand once a month, the importer having made such arrangements as cannot fail of securing punctuality on the part of his correspondents.
Subscriptions will be received from any part of America, by J. W. FANNO, Philadelphia. No advance is required. The prices are but four cents a number higher than in London. April 3.

Prevention better than Cure.
FOR the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preferred their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases deemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eye, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammation, defluxions at them, dulness, itching, and films in the eye, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles, and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Persons have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight. Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and for pains in the face and neck. Infalible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not half a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed. SOLD BY WM. S. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17, South Second Street, And no where else, in Philadelphia. Where also may be had, Dr. Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c. Restorative Drops, Essence and Extract of Mustard, Sovereign Ointment for the Itch, Dr. Hahn's installable German Corn Plaster, Indian Vegetable Specific for the Venereal complaint, Gowland's and Persian Lotion, Restorative Tooth Powder, Damask Lip Salve, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills, &c. &c.

BRITISH Summary of Politics.
In casting a retrospective view on the public occurrences of the present year, which tho' not entitled perhaps to be distinguished as Annus Mirabilis, has unquestionably been marked by a variety of extraordinary events...
Ten months have already elapsed, since the friend of social order had the mortification to behold its implacable enemies, the French, extending the baneful influence of their principles, and the destructive progress of their arms, over an immense territory...
Who then, that viewed with a contemplative eye, the situation of public affairs at this momentous era, did not tremble for the fate of Europe? Did the most sanguine of those characters who now droop with disappointment, entertain even a faint expectation...
TURKEY.
If we be to judge of the future from the past, a mode of judgment which, in this instance, seems to be the most rational of all others, what hopes can be formed of the effectual co-operation of the Porte in the attempt to subdue the common enemy of all States?
conduct of Sir Sidney Smith, and his squadron, the speedy reduction of Acre would have enabled Buonaparte to pursue, without molestation, his route to Constantinople...
Even now, when the French army is reduced, by climate, fatigue and the sword, to one fifth of its original numbers, pent up, in a district comparatively small, and basely deserted by the author of all its calamities...
RUSSIA.
Here we find a perfect contrast to the picture which we have just surveyed. The Emperor Paul with many striking peculiarities in his private conduct, which his enemies have not failed to distort into evident imbecility...
Justly disgusted with the proceedings of his Continental allies, incensed, no doubt, at the shameful conduct of the Austrian commander in Italy, who first refused to supply Suworow with mules for the transport of his baggage to Switzerland...
Two or three volunteers in the service of Jacobinism, are employed in the honourable way of depicting what they are pleased to consider as the vices and follies of this prince in private circles...
occasioned the loss of Switzerland; and farther enraged at the defection of his Army, under Korsakoff, by the Archduke Charles and their consequent exposure to destruction...
SWITZERLAND.
This country, in which temperance, frugality, and industry, so lately combined, with the religious and moral habits of its hardy natives, to present to the contemplative mind, one of the most gratifying exhibitions...
ITALY.
Of the good disposition of the Neapolitan Monarch, indebted to the army of the allies for his restoration to the throne, not a doubt can be entertained.
The convulsions produced by the temporary subversion of this monarchy have not yet subsided; many severe, but necessary examples have been made, without distinction of rank or persons...
In other parts of Italy the expulsion of the French has been productive of one happy effect, distinct from its more immediate advantages, the general manifestation of a rooted abhorrence not only of their conduct, but of their principles.
The king of Sardinia has not yet been formally restored to his throne, nor has he returned to his capital; but the delay is solely occasioned by the situation of his territories...

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 18.
Nullum et tenent propitiu virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vulnus instantis tyranni, Mente quait folia.
From the Senate D— flying, As advised by Mr. D—; Out at St—n snugly lying, Bids defiance to the gallows. There with L—, hatching treason, Sowing seed on his plantation, Brooding o'er Paine's Age of Reason, D— seeks for consolation. Owl-like skulking, during day-light, In a dark and gloomy garret, Where with L—, does he rail at Bingham's caucus, like a parrot. When the shades of night descending, Mark the hour of incantation; There his course the Mammoth bending, Hastes to damn a happy nation. In a dungeon, dark and dreary, Dog beneath the mansion deep, At the hour that man is weary, All his senses lulled to sleep. While the midnight bell is tolling, See the Hellish crew collected; Warned with liquor, view them rolling Round the room, like imps dejected. On an altar, red as scarlet, (Emblem true of bloody bent) Stood a flask, or a bartol For Déesse of Reason meant; By its side a rocking chair, For the Mammoth to repose in; (Where at ease he'd gape and stare) While F—thy spouts or dose in— L—, and Ned, and G—, R—s too, of Hellish soul, Master Jack of beardless chin, Danced around to Carmagnoie. Dimly beamed the waxen taper, Round the altar round the train; In his hand Ned held a paper, Chanting Robbin's funeral strain. Sudden rose a hideous yell, Brimstone fumes the dungeon scented; Satan entered, just from Hell, D— shrieked and Jacky fainted— "Friends, I'm pleased with your intention" Loudly roared the king of Hell: "Lift, ye patriots, while I mention, Why my visit; mark it well— 'Tis to praise your patriot legions; Robbins sends his thanks to Ned, Longs to greet him, in Hell's regions, When by justice' hands he's sped. 'Tis to find some more employment For to exercise Ned's brain; To procure his soul enjoyment, Let him quick impeach again. Yes my Ned, my patient Piers, Favoured blockhead of the mob, Go impeach Columbia's hero, 'Treason of his laurels rob. Haste to C—, haste and bellow, Loud at Monarchs, Freedom preach, Go my worthy, right good fellow, "Go, impeach, impeach, impeach." Satan through the ceiling darting, Oaths of fealty bore along, Fill'd with wine, the crew departing, Preach sedition thro' the throng.

MAP OF NEW-JERSEY. THE commissioners appointed for the purpose of circulating subscription papers, to the proposed plan of procuring an accurate Map of New Jersey, immediately after their appointment transmitted printed copies of the plan to various persons in the several counties of this state, and in the cities of New York and Philadelphia, and since that time, through the medium of the public prints, have requested the gentlemen entitled with those papers, to return the number of subscribers by them respectively procured, to James Satter, Esq. at Trenton, on or before the 6th day of February last. The number of subscriptions received, not amounting to two thousand, the commissioners did not conceive themselves authorized to fix a day for the meeting of the company; nevertheless being of opinion, from respectable information, that the actual subscriptions are nearly, if not fully, adequate to the complete organization of the company, if they could be obtained by regular returns, and being convinced that a trifling degree of exertion, on the part of the persons holding the subscription lists, would enable them to carry the intention of the subscribers into effect, they have by the unanimous advice and consent of the subscribers, whom they have been able to consult, fixed on the 14th day of May next, being the 2d day of the sitting of the supreme court, for a meeting of the subscribers at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, at the State House in Trenton, for the purpose of electing five Trustees and a Treasurer, if the number of subscriptions should be sufficient, or in any event to determine on the measures necessary to secure the attainment of an object so useful to the state.
From the universal approbation, exhibited by their fellow-citizens, at the commencement of this undertaking, it was to be expected that the subscribers returned would have ensured its immediate execution, and the commissioners are persuaded if proper attention is paid to the procuring of subscriptions, to their punctilious return at the time fixed for the meeting, and to the attendance of the subscribers, either in person or by proxy, that no further delay will take place in commencing the operations of the company, in time for their execution during the course of the ensuing summer.
