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 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 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 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 Tables, a Bill of Mortality for London and its environs, a table of the average prices of corn, and of the flocks. 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 contained 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.]
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 on or before 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.

The Year 1800 is arrived! UNION TAVERN, In George-Town, upon the Potomac, is FOR SALE. Upon the premises, on the first Monday in May next.
THIS Tavern was built by the subscription of a number of gentlemen as a necessary and useful improvement to the town. It cost 16000 dollars in the year 1799 when materials and workmanship were much cheaper than at this time. The terms of subscription were that it should be sold to the highest bidder on the day above mentioned. It is a handsome, substantial brick building, of three stories, fronting sixty feet on the main public street in the town, and running back sixty three feet upon a wide and convenient street. The house is admirably calculated for a tavern. It contains upon the first floor four large rooms, one of them 30 by 20 feet and another 23 by 20, besides a large bar and dressing room, upon the second floor is an elegant assembly room, 60 by 30 feet, and three convenient lodging rooms. Upon the third floor are ten excellent lodging rooms—the garret admits of a division of ten more. There is also a good kitchen and commodious cellars sufficient for such a house. Passages and cross passages intersect the house in such a manner as to make each room private. There are stables sufficient for the accommodation of fifty horses, with convenient sheds for carriages—attached to the building are three lots of 60 feet by 120 each, which front on three streets, and in the back yard and not so yards from the kitchen is a copious and never failing spring of most excellent running water. The nature of improvements and their convenience to the city of Washington must render this property a most desirable acquisition to any person who may wish to carry on a tavern upon an extensive scale. The immediate removal of the government of the United States must revive to its full and complete custom. The terms of sale are, one third in cash—one third in 120 days and the other third in 240 days, to be secured by approved notes negotiable at the Bank of Columbia or at either of the Banks in Baltimore, possession to be given on the day of sale and a perfect title made clear, of all incumbrances, on the last payment being made.

DUBLIN, February 18.
In the high debate last night on the question of the Union, Mr. Grattan gave a smart phillippic against the advocates of the measure. In alluding to Mr. C. Corry, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Grattan called him "a parliamentary declaimer, a political pedlar, a trimmer, who comes to Parliament to prostitute his talents and his principles, first for bread, and then for a station; and for that station risking the peace of the country, and the lives of the people."
and said, that had Mr. C. uttered what he did without the walls of that house his answer would have been a blow. The Chancellor of the Exchequer immediately retired, and sent in a message by General Craddock to Mr. Grattan, demanding satisfaction.

STRASBURGH, Feb. 15.
"It was hoped that there would not be another campaign. But we have learnt that the Emperor has rejected the very moderate proposals of peace which were offered to him by Buonaparte, and that he is resolved to continue the war."
"The rumour spreads about that the Russian army has received counter orders, and that it will return to the Rhine. This change is the consequence of the conferences which Suwarow had at Prague with Count Bellegarde and Lord Minto, and which Suwarow represented to Paul the First."

The work is dedicated, by permission, to the President and Directors of the Bank of North America, and received in the first twelve days the patronage of JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States; of THOMAS JEFFERSON, Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate; of two-thirds of the Senators and Members of the House of Representatives of the United States; and of the Presidents and Directors of the different Banks unanimously, &c. A list of the whole is printed and attached to the proposals.
With respect to the accuracy of the Tables, too much cannot be said, and I pledge myself that a PREMIUM of not less than ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS shall be offered to the first person who shall inform me of a single error of one cent, according to the principle acted upon. To do away all doubts with respect to the expenses of the undertaking, I do most solemnly declare that they will amount to very near FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS, and perhaps more, in dependent of any remuneration for my own trouble in the arduous business, and the great expense already incurred for specimens, proposals, advertisements, hand-bills, &c. &c. I do therefore trust with confidence, that gentlemen will continue to come forward with that public spirit and generosity which characterize the nation, and support the work by subscribing to it without hesitation; otherwise it cannot be published, and I must sit down to reflect upon a considerable loss.
And am, with profound respect, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble servant, JOHN ROWLETT, Accomptant, Bank North America.
Postscript.—Gentlemen are respectfully invited to see Specimens of the Tables, &c. exhibited at the City-tavern, Hardy's Hotel, Francis's Hotel, the Indian Queen, Dudwood's tavern, the Franklin Head and at the George; and please be referred to the other advertisements which appear every day in some one of the newspapers.

The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 23.
From the American Eagle.
MR. PRINTER.
Claiming neither to be one of "the sovereign people," nor an indifferent spectator of public transactions, I have taken the liberty of reviewing the conduct of our agents in the late State Legislature.
Without further preliminary observations, we shall proceed in our review of the last session of our State Legislature, whose acts have now become of importance, either relative to the Union at large, or more immediately to ourselves.
The first appearance of that party spirit which afterwards was displaced with so unblushing a face, was in the election of the State Treasurer, where an attempt was made to leave out Mr. Baynton, without assigning any cause whatever, and then securing Mr. Bryan from censure under a pretended want of power in the House to punish for any breach of their privileges.
The acquittal of Mr. Dallas, written and dictated by himself, together with an explanation of the dispute on the elector's bill, shall close my labors on this ungrateful subject.
A Northampton Farmer. April 13, 1800.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, April 22.
Mr. Bird obtained leave of absence for 15 days.
The bill to establish the district of Kennebec, and to annex Lyne to New-London; to alter the district of City Point and Bermuda Hundred; and therein to amend the act regulating the collection of duties on imports and tonnage, was read a third time, and passed.
The bill to incorporate a company, by the name and title of the Mine and Metal Company, was also read a third time, and upon the question shall the bill pass? it was rejected in the negative—ayes 34—noes 36.
On motion of Mr. Rutledge, the order of the House for meeting at 10 o'clock, was rescinded—ayes 42—noes 33, and the House will in future meet at the usual hour, 11 o'clock.
Mr. Huger presented a petition of Savage Stillwell, merchant, of the city of Philadelphia; which was read and referred to the Committee of Claims.
The amendments of the Senate to the bill to divide the territory of the United States north-west of the Ohio, into two separate governments, was referred to a select committee.
Mr. Dennis, from the committee to whom was referred the amendments of the Senate, to the bill making further provision for the removal and accommodation of the Government of the United States, made report that it would be proper to accede to all the amendments.
The House concurred. The bill to provide for the equalization of unascertained lands, was agreed to, in Committee of the Whole, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow.
Mr. D. Foster, from the Committee of Claims, to whom was referred the several petitions of Alexander Roxborough, Griffith Jones, David Jones, Thomas Leiper, Philip Bulh, and sundry others; and a bill from the Senate, for the relief of the legal Representatives of Nathaniel Lapsley, deceased—all praying for the renewal of old certificates—made report, that it would be inexpedient to grant the relief prayed for; and that the said bill from the Senate, ought not to pass.
This report was committed for Thursday next.
The bill to enlarge the powers of surveyors of the revenue, was taken up in Committee of the Whole, when Mr. Cooper offered an amendment, to obviate certain difficulties which exist in the assessment of patented lands in the State of New-York—which was opposed by Messrs. Nicholas and Harper, as introducing a new and, perhaps, dangerous principle.
On motion of Mr. Elmore, the Committee rose without coming to a decision, and leave was given to sit again.
The House resolved itself into a committee of the Whole on the report of the select Committee to whom was referred the amendments of the Senate to the bill supplemental to the act entitled "An act for an amicable settlement of limits with the State of Georgia and authorizing the establishment of a government in the Mississippi territory"—Mr. Morris in the chair.
The Committee recommend a disagreement to the first amendment, which was concurred in.
The next amendment of the Senate, to strike out that part of the bill which declares the power of the Governor to prorogue the General Assembly, to be prorogued, was, after a short debate, concurred in—ayes 43—noes 38.
The Senate also proposed to add a new section, in the following words:
And be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful for the commissioners appointed, or who may hereafter be appointed, on the part of the United States, in pursuance of the act, entitled "An act for an amicable settlement of limits with the State of Georgia, and authorizing the establishment of a government in the Mississippi territory," or any two of them, finally to settle by compromise with the commissioners, which have been or may be, appointed by the State of Georgia, any claims, mentioned in said act, and to receive, in behalf of the United States, a cession of any lands therein mentioned, or of the jurisdiction thereof on such terms as to them shall appear reasonable: and also, that the said commissioners on the part of the United States, or any two of them, after such settlement with the State of Georgia shall be made, be authorized to settle by compromise with the parties interested any claims which are or shall be made by settlers or any other persons whatsoever to any parts of the aforesaid lands, which may be relinquished by the State of Georgia: Provided, that the settlement with Georgia and the claimants aforesaid, shall be made and completed before the fourth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and three. And provided also, That the said commissioners shall not contract for the payment of any money from the treasury of the United States, other than the proceeds of the same lands.
Mr. Jones (Georgia) was in favor of the first part of the section; but was averse to the latter part, and urged the impropriety of Congress interposing in the manner which the section contemplated; and moved to strike out all that part of the section after the word "reasonable" in the 16th line. This motion was declared not to be in order by the chair.
After some debate, Mr. Gallatin appealed from the decision of the chair; and upon the question will the committee concur in that decision, it passed in the negative.
Mr. Jones then renewed his motion, and the committee rose, and obtained leave to sit again.
Mr. Claiborne, from the committee appointed to enquire into the operation of the
establishing trading houses with the Indians, and the expediency of continuing said act in force, made report, recommending the adoption of a resolution for continuing the act in force till the 3d day of March, 1803. Adjourned.
The following are the names of the members of the select Committee, to whom was referred the bill prescribing the mode of deciding disputed elections of President and Vice President of the United States, viz. Messrs. Marshall, Sewall, C. Goodrich, Harper, Nicholas, Dennis and Bayard.
A BILL.
For the appointment of Admirals for the navy.
1. BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That the President of the United States be, and hereby is authorized, by and with the advice of the Senate, to appoint a Vice Admiral to command the navy of the United States, with four Rear Admirals to aid in the better management.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the pay of the Vice Admiral shall be dollars per month, and rations per day, or money, as an equivalent thereof. And that the pay of a Rear Admiral shall be dollars per month, and rations per day, or money therefor as an equivalent.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the Vice Admiral shall only receive his pay and rations whilst actually employed in the command of a fleet, and a Rear Admiral only whilst employed in the command of a squadron in actual service.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That any Admiral, commissioned as above, not actually employed in the command of a fleet or squadron shall only be entitled to receive half his monthly pay and rations.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That the Navy shall be divided into squadrons, and have such a variety in the flags that each may be known under the description of White, Blue and Red.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That each Admiral whilst on duty shall be allowed a captain to aid and assist him on board the ship on which he shall hoist his flag, to be taken out of the captains in the navy.
The supply voted by the British Parliament for the year eighteen hundred is £39,500,000.
By the last accounts from London, Mr. Gore and Mr. Cabot were to embark in about 10 days, on board one of the British packets, and many be hourly expected in this country. What brings them home we know not; probably, the business of the commission in London.
A letter from a respectable gentleman in London, to his friend in Boston says, "the envoys will be soon at Paris; they will doubtless make a peace."
Misfortunes visit even the righteous. Dr. Philogiston, the Incomparable Philosopher of the Human Race, lately blew up himself and all his family by the explosion of a quantity of air, which he was torturing with his experiments. We have not heard whether his splendid mansion which he talks so much about in his illuminated and illuminating letters, was or was not dephlogisticated along with him, into air, thin air.
EXTRACT.
A learned Rabbi of the Jews, at Aleppo, being dangerously ill, called his friends together, and desired them seriously to consider the various former captivities by their nation, as a punishment for the badness of their hearts, and the present captivity which has continued sixteen hundred years, the occasion of which said he "is doubtless our unbelief. We have looked for the Messiah; and the Christians have believed in one JESUS of our nation, who was of the seed of Abraham and David, and born in Bethlehem, and (for aught we know) may be the true Messiah, and we may have suffered this long captivity, because we have rejected him? Therefore, my advice is, as my last words, that if the Messiah, which we expect, do not come at or about the year 1750, reckoning from the birth of their Christ, then you may know and believe, that this Jesus is the CHRIST and you shall have no other."
THE MERRY FELON.
A felon going to execution on a cold day, and coming to a pond near Tyburn, desired the driver to stop that he might speak with the sheriff; who being come to him, he said thus—"Mr. Sheriff, I am now going to leave the world, and am loth to conceal any thing which may do others good; I confess, that the last robbery I committed was on that spot, and being closely pursued, I threw a large purse of money into this pond." The people hearing him tell this to the sheriff, notwithstanding the coldness of the weather, ran into the pond to search for the money, which they did for a long time, till they were weary, as was also the sheriff with staying; whereupon he came again to the fellow, and asked him if he was not mistaken? "No, (says he) my intention was to have some mirth and sport before I was hanged—I have now had my desire in seeing the people wet and cool themselves for nothing—you may now drive on when you please."
Anecdote of Pope Pius the sixth.
The late Pope Pius the VI. descended from an obscure family in Romagna, of the name of Braschi; not contented with the spiritual and secular sovereignty, and the tiara which fortune placed upon his head, was weak enough to think it derogatory of his dignity to be by birth a simple Roman; and therefore took much pains to persuade the public that he and his progenitors were noblemen of the pure blood. This ridiculous solicitude naturally drew forth a number of sarcasms, too keen for his prejudiced feelings. Incessantly perplexed by a total want of authority he imagined that the best expedient for establishing his noble pedigree, would be to produce some warlike attribute thereof; and none could be thought more eligible than a coat of arms. The limner was immediately sent for; his Holiness desired him to dispose, in a judicious manner, an Eagle, some Pillars, some Stars, and a chain; emblems that must, beyond controversy, fix the beloved nobility of his ancestors back to the remotest antiquity. The pencil did justice to the sublime idea of the bright imagination of the Representative of St. Peter; and accordingly the board was placed over the porch of one of his Holiness's villas—when, the next day, the following satirical inscription was found on it:
Aquilarum Imperio reddite, Reddite Columnas C. Iunius*, Sidera reddite Cælo, Sola Catena tibi.
Restore the Eagle to the Empire, the Pillars to the Column, and the Stars to Heaven. The chain alone belongs to you.
* Columnas refers to an ancient Roman family, still existing, and at present known as Princes Columna.
