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 convinced, 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 Criticism—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 carries the blunderings of error, traces the intricate windings of misrepresentation, and strips off the mask of hypocrisy. It avowed champion of the church and the state, it spares the enemies of neither, whether open or secret; and, forming the unflattering defensive, upon which the friends of truth have long relied, 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 flocks, 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 most 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 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 an average after their publication in London, so that those which 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. FENNO, Philadelphia. No advance is required. The prices are but four cents a number higher than in London. April 3.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
February 13.
MESSAGE FROM THE KING.
"His majesty acquainted the House, that he is now employed in concerting such measures and engagements with the Emperor of Germany, the Elector of Bavaria, and other princes of the empire, as may best tend to strengthen their joint efforts, and materially conduce to the advantages of the common cause. That his majesty will, when those treaties are completed, order them to be laid before the House; but in order to insure the benefit of this co-operation, his majesty is desirous of authorizing his minister to make such advances as may be necessary for the purpose. His majesty therefore recommends it to the House to concur in enabling him to carry the same into effect."
This message met the approbation of the House.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
February 24.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer discharged his unpleasant duty of delivering, for the approbation of the House, his scheme for the Budget or Taxes of the year. The disagreeable nature of this task has been much softened by the increasing trade and prosperity of the country, as well as by those direct and efficient contributions which could alone have enabled the kingdom to meet the expenditure of the present war; and it will strike some astonishment into the unwilling bosom of our enemies, that in the eighth year of the cruel and extended hostilities they have imposed upon us, the government should have to impose taxes to no greater amount than the sum of 350,000l.
This sum, in the present state of our wealth, luxury and resources, we can scarcely state as a charge upon the people. What is imposed upon rum and brandies, and particularly upon British distillery, is a measure of regulation as well as of finance, and a safeguard of the health and morals of the people. We cannot but hope that these duties will check the consumption of these unwholesome liquors, nor doubt but the revenue will receive more from the tax than it is taken at—220,000l. are raised upon these destructive commodities.
The next tax, and, what is surprising, the only one that remains, is laid upon the high priced teas, and consequently the poor and the economical are exempted from its operations. This burthen will not be felt upon the shoulders where it falls, and is no more than five per cent upon the breakfasts of the rich; nor as they are procured at the grocers, but at the sales of the East India Company, before the duties attach to them. We have already adverted to those direct and efficient taxes which have rendered the new impositions so light and imperceptible. The income tax, and the convoy bill, produce eight millions and a quarter.
The bank charter diminishes the sum to be provided for to the amount of three millions, but the surplus of the consolidated fund, which is the result of general prosperity, diminishes the debtor account in no less than five millions and a half. These sums added to a loan of eighteen millions and a half, procured at a rate of interest infinitely beneath the legal tariff, leave only 350,000l. to be provided for in the manner we have specified, and the whole arrangement and provision for the expenditure of the year, has the rare fortune of imposing no new hardships or privations upon the people, and of shewing our resources to our allies and our enemies, without burthening our commerce or interfering with private employment.
CITY OF LONDON PETITION.
The Lord Mayor presented a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, &c. and Livery of London, in Common Hall assembled, praying that the House might take the speediest means of concluding a peace.
Lord Hawkesbury having asked how many names were signed to the petition, it appeared that the number was very small.
The Lord Mayor said, he was not aware that any objections would be made on the ground of a small number of signatures, and then moved that the petition do lie on the table.
Sir John Anderson said, he had no objections to let the petition lie on the table, but he thought it his duty to state, that the contents of that petition was not the idea of the city of London, but of a faction, consisting, he was very glad to say of very few persons, as might be perceived by the few signatures it contained. At the time the question for sending this petition, had first been put in the Common Hall, he conceived it to have been carried in the negative, but the Chief Magistrate thought differently, and said it was carried in the affirmative. A great confusion then took
place; there was a loud cry for division, which however the Lord Mayor would not grant, but said he would put the question a second time. Meanwhile the beadles and other officers who stood at the doors, conceiving the business to be over left the places where they had been stationed, and by that means gave an opportunity to numbers of persons to enter the hall who had no right to come there. The question being then put was carried in the affirmative. A requisition being then made for a poll, the Lord Mayor refused it, and said, he had followed the opinion of persons who were near him. A counter petition was immediately after signed by seven hundred persons, which should be presented to that house in a few days: the petition then presented contained no more than fifty-seven signatures.
Lord Grenville on Friday paid a visit in form to the duc d'Orleans , at his house in Sackville-street, Piccadilly.
The Duke of Orleans had arrived in town three days before; and his first visit was made to Monsieur , of whom he had requested an audience. On Thursday the Duke waited on his Royal Highness, and being introduced into his closet, he addressed him by saying, "that he had come to ask forgiveness for all his faults, which he hoped would be forgotten. They were the effect of error, and were chiefly to be attributed to the evil councils of an intriguing woman ( Madame de Genlis ) who had been entrusted with the care of his education." He added "that he was ready to shed the last drop of his blood for the reparation of his errors, and in defence of the rights of his lawful Sovereign. My brothers (continued he) whom I have left indisposed at Clifton, participate in my sentiments, and will hasten to offer to your Royal Highness the same professions of their repentance."
Monsieur then embraced the Duke, and replied, "he had no doubt of the sincerity of the professions he had just heard. He received them with pleasure; but he recommended to the Duke to repeat them to the King himself, and he should have great satisfaction in forwarding his letters to Milord ." As soon as this conversation had ended, Monsieur and the Duke went into the drawing room, where were assembled several emigrants of the first distinction, before whom the Duke of Orleans begged leave also to make a recantation of his errors. He then expressed his wish to see his uncle the Duke de Bourbon ; the intended visit was soon after made, and a reconciliation took place in the same manner as with Monsieur .
On Friday, the Duke of Orleans again waited on Monsieur with the letter to Louis the XVIIIth, at Milord , which was forwarded on the same evening. Monsieur recommended that another should be written, signed by each of the three brothers, and in still stronger terms, which the Duke promised to see executed, immediately on their coming to town.
On Saturday the Duke de Montpensier and the Count de Beaujolais , the younger brother, of the Duke of Orleans, arrived at their residence in Sackville-street, from Clifton, near Bristol, where one of them had been confined several days by illness.
February 9. The preservation of an empire which for ages awed the world, has recently been achieved by the skill and valour of an inconsiderable detachment of Britains. Gigantic discord, the foe of liberty in the garb of Republicanism—the iron hand of French fraternity, received its most fatal blow under the walls of Acre; nor have the gallant spirits, whose glory, redoubled upon each individual of their country, has hitherto been their only reward, relaxed in the service of civilization. The following letter, to which we attach entire credit, relates a victory which, if we do not greatly err, will be, or has been, the prelude to the submission of the French in Egypt.
Constantinople, half past 8 o'clock at night, Wednesday, Dec. 11, 1799.
"I have recalled my letter, and allowed ten minutes to add to it, that an express arrived here an hour since, that Sir Sidney Smith, on the 1st of November, made a feint in Damietta, when, drawing the attention of the French to that point, he attacked them with irresistible valour where they were vulnerable, commanding in person, and carrying all before him. The loss of the enemy consisted of two thousand French, killed, wounded, and prisoners. In rowing to the attack, the stroke-man of Sir Sidney's barge was close to him. I cannot give you particulars, but you may depend what I have related is a FACT."
Extract of another letter, Dec. 11.
The present character of the Porte is exemplified in the length of time, a comparatively inconsiderable band of marauders have been permitted to devastate some of the richest provinces of the empire, and to paralyze with terror the whole of it; whilst even the anxiety natural to such a state has not incited to the establishment of a means of regular communication. Lord Elgin, however, sends in a few days to the Grand Vizier, his secretary, Mr. Morier, a gentleman particular qualified to transmit a detail of the Turkish operations. Gen. Koehler and the British officers go from hence for the same destination, as does Dr. H. M'Lean, who attended the Embassy from England, to analyse the nature of the plague, and for similar researches, and who, it is said, is appointed Physician General to the army.
I have already possessed you of the high favour in which the English are held, and which is manifested upon all possible occasions. The government gave to them eight rich pelices on the late presentation, a circumstance never known before, the number seldom exceeding one or two; and this last gallant action of Sir Sidney Smith, who was
before looked upon as a kind of Deity, and if possible, increase the estimation of the English amongst all descriptions of the people.
The violence of the debates in the Irish House of Commons, and of the resolutions of private factions in Dublin, is generally and justly considered as the explosion of despair. Opposition is near its end, if we are to judge by its agonies and distortions. It will be seen by our private correspondence, that those persons who have opposed the Union upon principle, will not continue their hostility to government after the measure shall have been voted. They will then honestly turn their minds to the conditions and endeavour to render favorable to their country, that incorporation which they have fruitfully combated. As soon as the principle, therefore, of Union, has been agreed to, it is expected, that none but professed Separatists will oppose the government any longer.
COURT OF KINC'S BENCH.
February 12.
The King, v. Tandy and Morres.
The prisoners being again brought up, the counsel for the prisoners moved to postpone the proceedings till next term, upon a suggestion that they had not time to consider the case of their clients. The Court declared that there was no ground to postpone the proceedings on this account.
The prisoners then offered by the counsel a plea in bar of award of execution, and offered an affidavit made by the prisoners, stating that several witnesses material for their defence were absent at Hamburg, and that the attendance of those witnesses could not be procured before next term.
The At. Geo. declared his readiness to accede to any reasonable proposal by which the prisoners could have the full advantage of making their defence; notwithstanding the utter insufficiency of the affidavit, wishing to shew to the country that the proceedings were conducted with equity and deliberation, he consented to the adjournment desired.
The prisoners counsel gave great credit to the candour of the Attorney General. The proceedings being adjourned to next term, the prisoners were remanded.
FALMOUTH, Feb. 17.
Arrived this day the ship Mercury , of 16 guns, and 400 men, captain Richards, from Leghorn, after a passage of 36 days, laden with silks, &c. On the 26th ult. she recaptured the Justina (Danish bark) from Leghorn, with a valuable cargo on board, which she ordered for Stangate Creek.

On the 6th, the Doris frigate, with a sloop of war, hove in sight; the Frenchmen being much alarmed, and getting off their guard, Capt. Richards and Mate, watching their opportunity, again secured the Frenchmen, and took possession of the ship, and brought her in here.

Copy of a letter from Captain Joshua Sidney Horton , commander of his Majesty's sloop Fairy , to Even Nepean, Esq.
Plymouth Sound, Feb. 7.
SIR, Finding his Majesty's ship La Loire has not arrived at this port with the Pallas National frigate, having sent a duplicate of my proceedings by captain Newman, I conceive it my duty to forward you another for the information of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty; with the additional satisfaction of informing you, that the Pallas was captured close in with the Seven Islands, by La Loire , Railleur , Harpy , Danae , and Fairy . Having been joined in the night of the 6th, at nine o'clock, by La Loire , I desisted giving further particulars, concluding capt. Newman would state the further proceedings of the Fairy and Harpy . The badness of the weather obliged me to put in here, my standing rigging, &c. being much out. I am anxious to save the post. I have the honor to be, &c.
J. S. HORTON.
His Majesty's sloop Fairy , 3th Feb. 1800.
SIR, In compliance with your order of the 3d inst. his Majesty's sloop Harpy in company, having weighed from St. Aubin's Bay at 6 A. M. I proceeded to reconnoitre St. Maloes, and at half past 11, Cape Echeel bears S. E. 5 or 6 miles, I discovered a large ship running down close along shore to the westward, which I very soon made out to be a large frigate, and as she did not answer the private signal, I concluded she was an enemy, but being so close in shore I saw there was no chance of bringing her to action, I therefore judged it necessary to tack, with the hopes of decoying her out from the land, which fully answered my wishes, as she immediately gave chase to us.
At 1 o'clock the Harpy having fired close under my stern, the enemy arrived within pistol shot, when a close action commenced, and continued until a quarter before 3, when the enemy made all sail from us. As soon as the damages the Fairy and Harpy had sustained in their rigging and sails (which were very considerable) were repaired, we made all sail in pursuit of her; at 2 o'clock three strange sails were discovered from the
mast-head to the northward, which I judged to be a squadron of English frigates, to whom I made a signal for an enemy, at 9 were joined by his Majesty's ships La Loire , Danae , and Railleur , in the chase.
I must now beg leave to acknowledge the very able assistance and support I received from Capt. Bazely in the Harpy , who speaks in the highest terms of his officers and ship's company, and I cannot conclude without expressing, in the most particular manner, the exertions and good conduct of the officers and ship's company under my command, and without any disparagement to the rest of the officers, I trust I may be allowed to mention Mr. Smith, (first lieutenant of the Fairy ) as a very active good officer. Annexed is a return of the killed and wounded. I have the honor to be, &c.

P. S. I have the satisfaction to inform you, that his Majesty's ship Danae , four or five miles to N. W. captured one of the enemy's cutters this morning (Feb. 6.)
Copy of a letter from Capt. James Newman, Commander of His Majesty's Ship La Loire , to Even Nepean, Esq.
SIR,
I have the honor to acquaint their Lordships of the capture of the French National Frigate La Pallas , Citizen Jaque Epion , Commander, by His Majesty's ship under my command, after a close action of two hours and ten minutes, close in shore under Seven Islands , where she was supported by a battery. I was most gallantly and ably seconded by Capt. Turquand, of his Majesty's sloop Railleur ; and to the Captains of his Majesty's ship Danae , and Fairy and Harpy sloops, I feel indebted for their every exertion to come up with the chase. I cannot too much applaud the conduct of the officers and crew under my command, as well as Lieutenant Krenitzin of the Russian Navy; and though I will not to particularise, I cannot let this opportunity escape of recommending my First Lieutenant (Mr. Raynor) to their Lordship's notice, as an officer whose services I have witnessed on other trying occasions.
The Pallas is a new frigate, never at sea before, mounting 42 guns, eighteen, nine, and thirty-six pounders, was bound to Brest, victualled for five months, and had 350 men on board. I inclose a list of killed and wounded, and am, Sir, &c.

From a late London paper.
GEORGE STEEVENS, Esq. who died on the 22d last Jan. at his own house at Hampstead, was one of the most valuable members of the literary world.
Adorned with a versatility of talents, Mr. Steevens was eminent both by his pen and his pencil.
But his chief excellence lay in his critical knowledge of an author's text, and the best pattern of his great abilities is his edition of Shakespeare.
Mr. Steevens was a man of the greatest perseverance in every thing he undertook.
He was rich in books and prints. He bought largely at Sir Clement Dormer's, where he got his Xenophon.

Fifty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the morning of Saturday the 19th inst., a mulatto Servant Man, named Wilks, but commonly called John, he is about 33 years old, 5 feet 8 inches high, slender and knocked kneed; he is a dark mulatto, has thick bulky hair, which he commonly wears plaited and turned up short behind; his face is thin, but appears more so from having large whiskers; he had on when he went away, a round hat about half worn, white muslin cravat, a brown second hand coat with fashionable metal buttons, a black silk waistcoat, with a white one underneath, pantaloons of a greyish cloth with buttons at the ancles, striped cotton stockings and shoes. He may have changed these clothes, but it is not likely, as he has left all his others behind him. I am told a servant of General Ridgely's, with whom he was intimate ran away on Sunday morning; it is not improbable that they are together. Wilks is from Chester-town on the eastern shore of this state, where he lived with a Mr. Jeremiah Nichols who sold him to me. I have good reason to believe he has gone to Philadelphia. The above reward will be given to any person who may lodge him in jail at that or any other place, and give me or my Joseph S. Lewis of Philadelphia notice of the same. He is an excellent house servant, and if in Philadelphia will probably offer himself to hire in that capacity. W. GILMER. Baltimore, April 22—(25) d.

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, it is recommended, DR. HAHN'S
Anti-bilious Pills,
WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inven- tor, in several parts of the West-In- dies, and the southern parts of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Rich- mond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Char- leston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a num- ber 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, preserved 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 preva- lence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventive; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and bey- ond 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 su- perfluous 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 aches, 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 attend- ant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preferred for use by every seaman.
DR. HAHN'S
Genuine Eye-water.
A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, de- fluxions of rheum, dulness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently intercede the small pox, measles and fe- vers, 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 im- mediate and lasting relief in the most severe in- stances.
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 thou- sand 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.
