Philadelphia Academy. SAMUEL MAGAW, D. D. Rector of St. Paul's church, and formerly Vice-Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, AND JAMES ABERCROMBIE, A.M. One of the Assistant Ministers of Christ church and St. Peter's. INTEND TO OPEN, On Tuesday the 15th of next month, (April) An Academy, CONSISTING OF
1. An English School, in which will be taught Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Composition, Elocution, and Natural History. 2d. A Mathematical School, in which will be taught Writing, Arithmetic, Mercantile Accounts, Geography and the use of the Globes, Geometry and Trigonometry, with their application to Mensuration, Surveying, Navigation, Nautical Astronomy, &c. Also, the Principles of Mechanics, Algebra and Fluxions. 3d. A Classical School, in which will be taught the Latin and Greek Languages, in conjunction with Chronology, Civil History, Rhetoric, and the Institutes of Moral Science.
A well grounded conviction of the expediency of the foregoing plan, has been our principal inducement to undertake it. When it is considered that this populous and flourishing Metropolis contains only one Public Institution on an extensive plan, and that many of our youth are obliged to resort to other States, to receive even a Grammar-School Education, the Seminary now proposed, will, we trust, be regarded as eminently useful.
Actuated by these considerations, many gentlemen, friends to Science, and to Literary Establishments, have urged, with great warmth, the present undertaking, and excited the most flattering expectations of its success. Thus encouraged by the countenance and promised aid of liberal men, no less than by a firm persuasion that well-regulated Academies have a most important influence upon manners, habits, and principles; it will be our earnest endeavor to conduct this Seminary of Learning, as to subscribe the great interests of Religion and Morality, to promote Decorum of Behaviour, Correctness of Taste, Liberty of Sentiment, and every other attribute of an ingenious mind, which, in connection with good principles, and sound literature, constitute the distinguished ornaments of the gentleman and the scholar.
The building, engaged for this Academy, though affording excellent accommodation, will be relinquished for a more central situation, if such a change should be found necessary. A master of distinguished abilities will be procured to conduct the Mathematical Department. Persons desirous to be employed as Tutors in this Seminary, are requested to apply, without delay, to either of the subscribers, to whom also Parents wishing to send their children, will please to make application. SAMUEL MAGAW, No. 92 Arch Street. JAMES ABERCROMBIE, No. 101 Pine Street. Philad. March 28.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, January 24.
It was yesterday evening that the answer of our cabinet to the letter of the republican minister Talleyrand, was sent to the foreign ministers resident at our court. This answer, and in general all the correspondence relating to the dispatches of the new French government, in their propositions for entering into a negotiation, are the object of the message which his majesty has this day to communicate to the Parliament. The consideration of it will be deferred to Monday, in order to give time for printing and examining it previous to the discussion. Every thing announces that the debates will be long and animated, as well from the nature of the subject as the character of the speaker. It seems certain, that Mr. Fox, raised from his political death, will present himself in Parliament at the head of the opposition phalanx, and that party will vehemently arraign the measures of our cabinet. We shall not, by premature observations, anticipate that the answer to the letter of citizen Talleyrand refers in general to the former note in reply to the letter of Buonaparte, with some very short observations on the subject of aggression so frequently and fallaciously discussed. The letter of Brissot to his associates incontrovertibly proves that the aggression was on the part of the enemy; and as to the other complaints of Talleyrand, they are only recriminations which deserve no further answer.
A Paris paper of the 14th, that is to say, one day later than those of Friday last, was received in town yesterday. This paper, like the former ones, has an extreme degree of reserve on the proceedings of the grand council in regard to a peace. It confines itself to a pure and simple recital of the correspondence between the two governments, without any comment whatever. The conclusion which might be drawn from this reserve, against the freedom of the French press, is done away, by the irony with which the grand council is treated in a letter contained in the same paper; and the freedom with which it censures the composition of the different branches of the government and the Legislature. It must be allowed that if the silence observed on political affairs abroad is a proof of the restrictions on the press, the freedom with which the consular proceedings at home are spoken, equally proves that the restraint is not general.
The intelligence from Germany, brought by this Gazette, confirms all that we learned from the preceding ones, respecting the establishment of harmony between the two imperial courts, the arrival of numerous reinforcements to the Austrian army on the Rhine, the success of the army in Suabia, the speedy march into Bohemia of the Russian corps assembled on the frontiers of Galicia. By the strong reinforcements which Austria is sending to the Neckar and the Mein, it should seem as if the campaign was to open with the siege of Mayence; and it was with that the cabinet of Vienna proposed to terminate the last. It appears that the Archduke and marshal Suwarow are now repaired to Vienna in order to concert the plan of the campaign as to combine their operations, the first on the Lower Rhine, and the latter in Switzerland. There is no news respecting the state of affairs in Italy.
Sieyes, after presiding in the conservatory Senate on the 25th, set off again for the country.
The Spanish Court, as well as that of Prussia, is using every means to procure peace in Europe.
The army of Suwarow and the corps de Conde were despatched about to return to Russia. This is at least what the Prague, Heidelberg and Stuttgart Gazettes agreed in stating, as well as the German Mercury in Suabia. They now agree in stating the contrary. According to these Gazettes, the Russians will be in pay of Great Britain, and are only waiting for their whole equipment, in order to return to Suabia.
Letters from Vienna, received at Augsburg on the 11th, assure us that the Triple Alliance of Austria, Russia, and of England, has been again signed in London; and in the first article of this treaty, the 3 courts enter into a reciprocal engagement to push the war with more vigour than ever. The Augsburg letters differ only in one circumstance relative to the Russians. They state that part of that army will repair to Francoforte. It is certain that there is at this moment a great number of Russian officers in Vienna, and that the chevalier Comte de Viomenil, general of cavalry in the Russian service, who had received orders at Riga to succeed general Korsakow, and who since that period had repaired to Prague, is about to quit that city to go to England, where he will succeed General Hermon in the command of the Russian troops who are on the coasts of that island.
The Irish Mail of Sunday, (says the London Chronicle of January 31) brought letters from Dublin of Wednesday last, which confirm us in the hopes we had entertained, that the measure of an Union will experience very little further interruption.
Sunday also a messenger arrived from Dublin, giving to ministers an account of the proceeding of the Irish Parliament on the opening of the session. On Wednesday the Lord Lieutenant went in state to the House of Lords, opened the session with a speech from the throne; a debate took place on the motion for the address, and an amendment was moved. Sir Lawrence Parsons was the mover of the specific proposition against the Union, by which the sense of the house was to be taken at once on the important question, when the ministerial
party were desirous to adjourn. The debate was long and spirited. At eight o'clock in the morning Mr. Grattan, who at twelve o'clock on the preceding night had been elected to represent the Borough of Wicklow, took his seat in the House, and begged leave to deliver his opinion, and to be allowed to speak sitting, on account of the fatigue he had undergone, and of his indisposition. He accordingly spoke at considerable length against the measure of the Union, with his usual eloquence. He was answered by Mr. Corry, and at eleven o'clock in the forenoon a division took place, when the numbers for the motion were 96 - the numbers against it 138, so that the ministerial majority in favour of the measure of an Union was 42. There were writs moved for thirty seats, which have been vacated for different reasons, through ministerial persuasion, so as to give them the means to secure so many additional votes as soon as the new election shall take place. This will make the majority in favour of the Union in the lower house seventy two, a majority quite decisive on the question, as it will confirm the wavering, and occasion desertion even from the opposite phalanx.
At the time the last accounts left Dublin every thing was perfectly quiet. The minds of the Anti Unionists were much depressed.
January 31.
Address moved by the Duke of Bedford.
The following is the amendment moved by the Duke of Bedford in the House of Lords on Tuesday last, instead of the address moved by Lord Grenville:
To return our most humble thanks for his condescension and goodness in having been graciously pleased to communicate to us the correspondence between the minister of foreign affairs in France and his Majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs; and most humbly to represent to his Majesty that, on the 8th of December, 1795, his Majesty was graciously pleased to acquaint this house, that he had been induced, by the order of things in France, to meet any disposition for negotiation on the part of the enemy with an earnest desire to give it the fullest and speediest effect.
That, in pursuance of this disposition, his Majesty directed an overture to be made in his name, by his Minister in Switzerland in the spring of the year 1796.
That on the rejection of that overture his Majesty gave the most solemn assurance, in a note dated April 10, 1796, that whenever his enemies should manifest more pacific sentiments, his Majesty would at all times be eager to concur in them, by lending himself, in concert with his allies, to all such measures as should be best calculated to re-establish general tranquility on conditions just, honourable, and permanent.
That his Majesty has since entered into two negotiations for peace with the French republic at Paris in the Autumn of the year 1796, and at Lille in the Summer of the following year 1797.
That his Majesty has repeated and solemnly declared, that the rupture of both those negotiations was solely to be ascribed to the determination of the French government to reject all means of peace, and to pursue, at all hazards, their hostile designs against the prosperity and safety of these kingdoms.
That, on the failure of the negotiation at Paris, his Majesty, in a manifesto, dated the 27th of December, 1796, was graciously pleased "to renew, in the face of all Europe, the solemn declaration that, whenever his enemies should be disposed to enter on the work of general pacification in a spirit of conciliation and equity, nothing should be wanting on his part to contribute to the accomplishment of that great object."
"That on the rupture of the subsequent negotiations at Lille, his Majesty had again declared in a manifesto, dated October 28, 1797, that, "he looked with anxious expectation to the moment when the government of France should shew a disposition and spirit at all corresponding to his own;" and that "he then renewed before all Europe the solemn declaration that he was yet ready to conclude peace on the same moderate and equitable principles and terms which he had before proposed."
"That we, his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, impressed with the justice of these sentiments, and equally anxious for the re-establishment of tranquility, and for the preservation of the honour and dignity of his Majesty's crown (of which we are, by the constitution, hereditary advisers,) cannot conceal our regret at perceiving that his Majesty has been advised to reject the first overtures for a general pacification on the part of the enemy; and we beg leave most humbly to implore his Majesty to give directions for the immediate renewal, if possible, of a negotiation for peace with the French Republic, most fervently beseeching his Majesty to recur to those principles of moderation and equity so solemnly and so repeatedly avowed, and which if strictly adhered to must either ensure the speedy restoration of all the blessings of peace, or render our enemies alone accountable for all the calamities too certainly attendant on a continuance of hostilities."
February 3.
The prospect of a rupture between Sweden and Denmark and France increases, citizen Grouvill has left Copenhagen, and Mr. Dreyer is recalled from Paris.
Switzerland is to be treated in future as a neutral country.
We have accounts from Brittany of a desperate battle between the Chouans and General Brune's forces, 5000 of the latter being killed, wounded or taken prisoners. Rumour may have augmented these numbers; but it is certain, that government has received information by a brother of D'Auchamp, who arrived on Friday, that the Chouans were from 50 to 100,000 men; and that hostilities had actually recommenced.
Accounts from Egypt are extremely contradictory. Some assert that the Grand Vizier had been defeated by Gen. Kleber, on the confines of Syria, and had lost his camp, part of his baggage, and several thousand prisoners. This news comes from Constantinople, but later Vienna accounts appear to doubt the intelligence.
The Brest fleet appears on the point of sailing. And the channel fleet is ordered to resume its station off that port immediately.
EXPEDITION (supposed) FOR EGYPT.
PARIS, January 24.
An official letter from Toulon, dated Jan. 6, says, "Rear-Admiral Perree's squadron, of one 74 and 4 corvettes, is ready for sea. The ships are laden with provisions and warlike stores."
ARMY OF ITALY.
PROCLAMATION.
Messena General in chief to the armies.
"Soldiers of the brave army of Italy, so respectable for their fortune, and heretofore so celebrated for its triumphs, in accepting the interests of my country, and yield to the wishes of a hero who honors me with his friendship and his confidence."
"I come to partake your sufferings, to soften and to put an end to them."
"I should long since have been in the midst of you, if I had not been particularly occupied in providing for your necessities. Your privations shall cease; for that I have received the solemn promise of the Government - and for myself, I have taken measures to secure you supplies of every kind."
"But whatever may be the extent of your sufferings, it was not beyond the generosity and elevation of French soldiers. How come it to pass that some companies have quitted their posts? You suffer! Do you think that the mother country does not consider your sacrifices?"
"Soldiers, What is to be done in order to recall victory to your standards? I again repeat that your wants shall be supplied."
"We have the same mass of glory to preserve or again to acquire, and our efforts ought to be in common. I owe you all my care, you owe me your confidence. On this I rely, as you ought to depend upon me."
"Ought I, my comrades, to hold another language with you? It is right to speak of the severity which I shall shew, if you swerve from subordination and discipline, which constitutes your sole force? No; I reject the painful idea - you will never have any other motive of conduct than duty, honour, and the love of your country."
"This Proclamation shall be printed, published, stuck up wherever necessary, and put into the order of the Army."

THE CRITERION. No. II.
NO reflecting person can cast an eye over the vast country of the United States, mark the enterprize of the people, their ardent love of liberty, attachment to property, and rapid population, without feeling a full conviction that a strong government is essential to preserve these extensive regions in UNION, and "liberty with order," as our great Washington remarked. To increase the powers of the legislature, might increase the danger rather than security. To add to the powers of the executive, might create alarm, without use. To extend the powers of the judicial department, is obviously the only effectual and safe remedy for the evils we feel and fear. This department has in all countries, and in all governments, been the best guardian of legal rights; it is the most enlightened, the most independent (in its public) the most responsible, and the last corrupted. To this department the English owe all their liberties, independence, security of natural rights and public credit; it is, in fact, the main pillar which supports all they hold dear. And is not such a department with equal powers more essential for this country than for that? It most evidently is, because our executive power is more limited. Such extensive powers in the judiciary, is not only necessary to guard the legal rights of the citizens, but is a check upon the other great departments. It is at once the safest and the most powerful check; it is the organ of law, it is in the habit of appealing to the letter of the constitution, to ascertain the rights of the people; its character and responsibility do not permit it, like twelfth legislators, who hold their office for a short period and therefore too often aiming to make the most use of it with limited views, to pervert constitutional principles; it is influenced by the strong motives of honor and interest to preserve a straight line of conduct. It may therefore be properly called the natural friend to the equal rights of the people, and the true guardian of the constitution. Why then it will be asked are our leading men, our zealous republicans, our jealous sentinels in Congress, whose discernment is so keen, and whose ardour is so great as to start at the shadow of encroachment from the other departments, yet are perfectly quiet and fearless while the legislature exercises a judicial power which destroys the vital principle of a genuine republic, "a government of laws." It originates in the common feelings of men, that power is safe in their own hands. This is the germ of corruption and despotism, and is the most threatening danger that alarms reflecting men; it creates distrust in the legislature, which ought to possess high and universal confidence. Such a judicial power which embraces all the proper objects, would remove the distrust in the legislature, and thereby strengthen its hands, by increasing confidence in all its acts. To neglect this is to leave the door open for every evil work, and finally for the entry of a monarch. To this catastrophe things and events are tending; and seem to progress without any alarm or opposition. One section of Congress clips after another, parties and debates grow warmer, one guard to "liberty and law" is removed from the constitution, by taking away the right of the people to appeal to the judicial department for a decision of their legal demands upon states. By this deadly stroke, the citizens have lost their best security, and the judicial powers are contracted to a degree totally incompatible with a "government of laws." No substitute has been offered, or even proposed (that we ever heard of) by Congress, or suggested by the professional republicans. Thus we have seen that the department most essential to equal liberty, which was at first too limited has been greatly contracted, and its powers absorbed by the legislature. Do we not see a constant effort in some quarter to lessen the powers of the executive also, and to add them to the legislature? When men view the whole face of our government, do they not see a disorganizing tendency? It will, we believe, be conceded by all that the legislature, even if perfect in integrity, is wanting in many qualifications for a judicial court. Is it not evident then, that its continuing the exercise of powers for which it is unqualified, with all the before mentioned objections, has a disorganizing effect upon our whole political system, by weakening all ties, and all checks? Does it not lessen the respect and confidence of the people in it? How forcibly must all thinking persons be affected with the inconsistency of the legislature erecting itself into a court to decide upon the demand of creditors founded upon its contracts, in which court they are not permitted to argue their cause, nor to employ counsel, or produce witnesses! Would not such a court, appear to all persons not in the habit of seeing it, as a mockery of justice? It is in vain to say, they may argue their cause before a committee. As well might a small committee from a jury hear the parties and report the case. Are the Spanish courts of inquisition, more irreconcilable to the principles of a free government and proper judiciary? Why then do our republican members slumber over this limb of despotism, this bane to liberty and to legal rights? The legislature being so numerous, individual responsibility is next to nothing: hence the greater danger from its exercising the judicial power, as the in-
jured citizens cannot know who were the judges. If discovered, the dishonor being divided among so many, it produces little effect. Hence no political truth is more evident, than that the legislature should be confined to the department of legislation. Nothing is more certain, than that the ancient as well as modern republics, lost their liberties by an inattention to a proper division of powers; and not giving authority sufficiently extensive to the judicial department. It is equally certain that the same error now exists in this government, and portends its ruin. Many facts have occurred within a few years, and are daily occurring, which forcibly urge these sentiments, and ought deeply to impress them. Even at this time we are told (but as we live near a remote frontier, and many hundred miles from Congress, we do not know the particulars) people residing by the Mississippi, are applying to have their rights to land ascertained, but by reason of legislative usurpations, there is no power in the Union to decide legally! Is it not evident that if the rights of the purchasers of that country are not immediately decided in a legal way, that the seeds of insurrection and war will be sown in that extensive and fertile region? That country being evidently destined to become the most populous part of the Union, and so many motives exist to draw emigrants to it, if the claims are not soon settled in a legal manner, the injured purchasers, and present occupiers, stimulated by the strong motives of interest, and sense of injury, may combine their efforts with enterprising citizens and foreigners to form settlements, and hold out such inducements to all who wish to seek their fortunes or a settlement there, as will insure a rapid population. Is it compatible with any wisdom and foresight, to leave this vast concern to take its course without an amicable decision, conformable to law, and the constitution? Can any motives to procrastinate exist other than views of speculation in the lands? Does not the long existing and yet unsettled confusion in a large district of Pennsylvania, by reason of similar errors in government, read a serious lesson to Congress upon this subject?
The scale for the operations of our government is so extensive, if the minds of our legislators are not capacious, they cannot reach it. Little calculators may legislate for an island or province, but the western world requires minds in proportion to its limits. Painful therefore is the appearance of puddling measures unworthy of the high destiny of our nation.

The Legislature of Lower Canada are now in session, at the city of Quebec—On the 5th inst: his Ex. the Lieut. Gov. delivered a Speech to the two Houses; in which he congratulates "his Majesty's faithful subjects of that province, that they are enabled to enjoy with confidence the fruits of their industry, and to meet in tranquility to consult for the public advantage, at a period when many parts of Europe and other quarters of the globe, are afflicted by the miseries of war." His Ex. also notices, "among other causes of satisfaction, the very friendly intercourse which happily subsists between his Majesty's subjects and the citizens of the neighboring states; and that the communications which he has received contain the strongest expressions of desire that such good understanding may long endure."
The Legislative Council in their reply notice "this very friendly intercourse: that it affords them the greatest happiness, and they express their sincerest hope that it may long continue."
The House of Assembly—"The prosperity of our Mother Country upon which our own depends, must even give us great satisfaction. Her increasing commerce and public credit, established on the firmest basis, must have the happiest effects on every part of his Majesty's extended dominions."
"The very friendly intercourse, which so happily subsists between his Majesty's subjects, and the citizens of the neighboring States, gives us the greatest pleasure, and we shall always be ready to co-operate in such measures as may be necessary for maintaining so desirable an understanding."
Extract of a letter from William Savage, Esq. Agent of the United States of America, at Jamaica, to the Secretary of State, dated Kingston, 26th February, 1800.
"On the day of the date of my last [24th February] there was a meeting of the Privy Council of this Island, when it was recommended to the Governor to permit produce to be taken off in American vessels to the amount of the value of the goods imported in the same bottom. I have enclosed a true copy of the Resolve of the Council."
IN COUNCIL.
12th February, 1800.
RESOLVED, that his Honor the Lieutenant-Governor be advised to recommend to the several officers of his Majesty's Customs, at the several Ports in this Island, to permit the free importation of Sheep, Hogs, Poultry, small live stock of all kinds, and all sorts of fruit, salted and all other provisions, and lumber of every description, as well in British as in all other vessels belonging to neutral and other States in amity with Great Britain, from the day of the date hereof until the first day of August and until six months notice shall be given to the contrary upon the like terms, charges, and conditions, and subject to the same rules, regulations, visitations and searches as are observed with respect to vessels importing provisions to this Island.
Resolved, that all vessels belonging to the United States of America, importing the foregoing articles under the authority of the above resolutions, be permitted for the space of six months from the date hereof, to export from any port or ports, place or places, of this Island, such articles as may be exported to foreign ports, upon the like terms, stipulations, charges and conditions, as are observed with respect to British vessels, in the like cases, provided the produce to be exported shall not exceed the value of the goods imported by the same vessel, which shall be ascertained by the oath of the Captain or Master of every such vessel, respectively, before he shall be permitted to clear out his said vessel at the Custom House.

The following bills were read a third time and passed, viz.
An act to repeal the act laying duties on mills and implements employed in the manufacture of snuff.
An act to continue in force the act instituted an act to authorize the defence of the merchant vessels of the United States against French depredations—and
An act to make further provision for the removal and accommodation of the government of the United States—ayes 47—nocs 32.
Mr. Gallatin presented a memorial of Thomas Leiper, of the city of Philadelphia, praying relief for six lost certificates of 1000 dollars each. Referred to the Committee of Claims.
Mr. Marshall called for the order of the day on the bill to authorize the President of the United States, to accept for the United States, a cession of jurisdiction of territory lying west of Pennsylvania, commonly called the Western Reserve of Connecticut.
Mr. Cooper moved that the further consideration of the bill be postponed till the first Monday in December next.
Messrs. Marshall, Harrison, Harper, Griffith, Galloway, Keister, C. Goodrich and Dana, opposed this motion, and Messrs. Cooper, Bird, Randolph, Platt and Mac-lean, spoke in favor of it.
The question was at length taken by yeas and nays—Ayes 30—Nocs 57.
On motion of Mr. Gallin the bill was then postponed till to-morrow—ayes 45.
Mr. D. Foster, from the Committee of Claims, made a report on the petition of Elizabeth Jameson, &c. who prayed for the allowance of an account for services, &c. said to have been rendered at an early period of the revolutionary war. This appears to be the first application ever made for a settlement of this claim, and the committee report that it cannot be granted. The house concurred.
A message was received from the Senate by Mr. Otis, their secretary, informing the House that the Senate have passed the bill to continue in force an act concerning certain fisheries of the United States; for the government of the fisher-men employed therein; and for other purposes as therein mentioned; with an amendment—and also informing the House, that the Senate have resolved that the bill for the relief of John Collet, sent from this House, do not pass.

The following passage from the work of Edmund Burke not only resembles the style of Cicero but is as politically and philosophically just as any in the sterling productions of ancient wisdom. "It cannot, at this time, be too often repeated, line upon line, precept upon precept, until it comes into the currency of a proverb." To innovate is not to reform. The French revolutionists left nothing unchanged. The consequences are before us,—not in remote history; not in future prognostication: they are about us; they are upon us. They shake the public security; they menace private enjoyment. They dwarf the growth of the young; they break the quiet of the old. If we travel, they stop our way. They infest us in town; they pursue us to the country. Our business is interrupted; our repose is troubled; our pleasures are saddened; our very studies are poisoned and perverted, and knowledge is rendered worse than ignorance, by the enormous evils of this dreadful innovation. The classical scholar will recognize the happy allusion of the orator of Beaconsfield to the famous passage in the Roman plea for Archias. "Delectant domi, non impediant foris," etc.

Sir,
On Saturday the 1st of March, I failed from Savannah for Jamaica, and on the Wednesday following, at 6 P. M. in lat. 21, 50. long. 74, 50, my vessel was struck with a heavy squall, and instantly upset.—In this condition she lay until the next day when a brigantine standing to the southward, hove in sight; but she not observing us, we concluded to get into the boat and make for her. Our endeavours were ineffectual. The boat being very leaky, Mr. Moody (the owner) would not venture in her, and we left him on board, with the two mates and four men. We continued our course, however, and got before the wind to the westward; when at 5 P. M. we were taken up by the sloop Catherine, S. Phillips, master, who in vain gave us every assistance, for 12 hours, after the wreck, and brought us in safety to Wilmington, N. C. JOHN M. TUFTON, Master of the brig Phenix.
SURRINAM, February 6.
"On the arrival of the fleet in the United States, that failed yesterday, under the protection of the Maryland, capt. Rogers, it will be reported that American vessels are permitted to be laden here with any produce. I have it from his Excellency the Governor, that no such permission is granted. The report, which I imagine will be circulated ought to be contradicted, to prevent any illusive speculations to this colony, which is yet gorged with almost every article of consumption or use. Superfine Baltimore flour was this day sold at 20 guilders, or about 7 dollars payable in Sugar at 4 stivers—the former paying a duty of 8 per cent. and the latter about 14 3/4 per cent.

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 names of its 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 Criticism—2 A Review of the other Reviews—3 Occasional Essays, in prose and verse—and 4th, 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, traces the intricate windings of misrepresentation, and strips off the mask of hypocrisy. The avowed champion of the church and the state, it spares the enemies of neither, whether open or secret; and, scorning the pusillanimous defensive, upon which the friends of truth have too long acted, it carries on a continual and vigorous offensive warfare against untruth, immorality, and irreligion, and thus establishes by its uniform conduct, its right to the title it has assumed.

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 bibliography, 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, & 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.

Le Mercure Britannique, or, British Mercury; by Monsieur Maller 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 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.]

WATER OFFICE. Centre Square, February 5, 1800. IN compliance with the instructions of the Committee for watering the city, and with your own instructions, every possible admittance and information has been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during their progress. The Engines are now arrived, and are immediately to be put up, and it is hoped that it will be thought rea- sonable and just, both to the Public, and to the Contractor for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the cu- riosity of the citizens, by shewing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary ex- clusion of all visitors from the Engine houses cannot appear improper.
