A gentleman well known in Philadelphia, and who is greatly respected as a clergyman and lately esteemed as a man of letters, has given the following opinion of this Edition: "The two Volumes of Select Poetry, form a valuable contribution to the stock of English literature. I readily consider the work as the best compilation now extant. The selections and arrangements evince the taste of a correct and polished mind, the judgment of a sound and benevolent moralist, and that degree of critical skill which can only be acquired by extensive reading and scholastic acquirements."

From the PUBLIC LEDGER.
Mediterranean Affairs.
The ministerial prints have shown their zeal for the interests of their employers, mingled with some address, in palming upon the public for splendid victories, what in effect will be found to have been defeats. Availing themselves of the en- thusiasm of the people, whose judgment was lost or suspended in admiration of the bravery of their countrymen, the editors of those papers have had the art to delay the investigation of a subject, which, were it closely examined, would considerably aug- ment the mass of disgrace that already loads our deleterious administration.
The war with Tripoli is coeval with the administration of Mr. Jefferson; and has been so conducted as in a period of nearly four years to afford no one solitary instance of advantage: no single circumstance to console the nation for the immense expense it has occasioned: unless we find it in the pride which warms every American bosom when reading the relation of the indivi- dual gallantry displayed by his fellow citi- zens, wherever it has had an opportunity of being exhibited; a gallantry which proves what might have been accomplish- ed had it been allowed a proper latitude, were it not curbed and repressed by the pusillanimous auspices under which it is condemned to act; a gallantry which gives the assurance that the American name is yet destined to appear with lustre in naval history, maugre all the philosophical whims, of trembling speculators, who would supply our hands with no other weapons, than the hoe and the plough share; who would annihilate our commerce and its de- fence; and convert us into a drivelling na- tion of cultivators.
It is now clearly ascertained that there has been no want of talents or of courage in those who command and man our little fleets; and if nothing has been hitherto ef- fected, we are obliged to conclude that the fault is in those who, at home render all all their talents and their courage useless both to themselves and their country; whose ambition might desire to obtain the end, but whose niggardly and contempti- ble economy denied the efficient means.
The force originally sent into the Medi- terranean as was adequate to no other ob- ject than that of exciting the jealousy, con- tempt and derision of the Barbary powers, but was altogether insufficient to produce a respectful impression of our strength: while to its physical imbecility was added a moral weakness, in the silly instructions which restrained commodore Dale from making any assault upon Tripoli, or from capturing any of her cruisers, unless in actual defence of the American trade. Th's we believe is pretty nearly the amount of his orders; from which it those of Commodore Morris differed, it was only in this, that they gave him the authority, but not the power of doing much injury. Of this the administration were sensible, when, to protect their own reputation, they basely sacrificed his.
One or two conclusions must have been adopted by the piratical powers upon the arrival of such a fleet as was first dispatch- ed from the United States, and its im- mediate conduct; either that the govern- ment was incapable of any great exertion or unwilling, on account of the expense, to employ a greater force. Either of those conclusions must have produced the same effect. Perhaps the latter reason would not have suggested itself to them, although the true one. The force we know was within control, but the expense was the bugbear that precluded its being resorted to. No one can approve of prodigality in the disbursement of the public treasure; but there is a kind of unsystematic and pernicious economy which is infinitely more destructive, and is always attended with disgrace, because its or gins an error or faction, & its progress uniform meanness and deception. Such is the species of eco- nomy openly and pompously boasted of by our present political rulers.
The bad effects of their own system they have most strikingly evinced; of all the surreptitious means of which they availed themselves to get into power, none was managed with more successful dexterity than the imputed prodigality of the Fede- ral administrations. On this subject they had committed themselves; and when they got the power into their own hands they were sensible that, to maintain the posses- sion of it, it was necessary either to act, or to seem to act, upon the saving plans which they had held out to the people's view, as not only necessary but practicable. Every art of deception has been consequently practised; and the result has been that
those affairs, which in order to save ex- pence, required an immediate and a vigor- ous exertion, have gone in a crippled, hobbling gait, scarcely marked with one progressive step towards their object; hold- ing up our administration, that 'thing of shreds and patches,' to the contempt of Af- rica, the ridicule of Europe, and the in- dignation of America.
When it became necessary, for the pre- servation of our natural right freely to na- vigate the Mediterranean as well as every other sea, to curb the insolence of Tripoli, or to pay a tribute to her, what was the language of government? it was lofty and austere; it breathed the independent spi- rit of a free state, which disdained to be tributary for that which it could command as its own; and it resolved to assert its privilege by force. These were glorious times; and the fawning language of politi- cal sycophancy immediately invested Mr. Jefferson with the extraneous habiliments of a hero; but when he was required to act, he soon demonstrated that he was a hero in words only; the energies of the na- tion dwindled in his feeble grasp; he re- coiled with terror "even in the sounds himself had made;" and at the close of four belligerent years, what is it that he has gained to his country in return for the blood and treasure he has wasted?
As respects the object of the war we are precisely where we found us. As re- spects the injury done and sustained, we are not so. We have taken a few neutral vessels, one small corsair, and one or two gun-boats; we have lost one of our best frigates, and consigned perhaps to perpe- tual slavery hundreds of our brave and enterprising fellow-citizens; we have made what are called four assaults on the town of Tripoli, frightened some of the eunuchs and women of the seraglios, dam- aged some of their vessels, lost some of our own, and sacrificed the lives of several of our gallant officers and seamen, in an attempt as extravagant in conception as unsuccessful in result, and which, we are told by the administration itself, is aban- doned as for the present impracticable.
Who must bear the blame of this failure? Not the brave Preble: not the small but distinguished number of heroes who fought under his command. They doubt- less executed their orders with the zeal and spirit which should mark the character of their country; and were successful as far as the means put into their power could entitle them to succeed. The blame be- longs to those who, without regard either to the lives of their countrymen or the ho- nor of their country, could sit down and make calculations upon "the least possible force," at a time when all the force they could command should have been employ- ed, as well to insure a favorable issue, as to save the waste of treasure, and prevent the effusion of blood.
We are fully warranted in all that we have said, or can say, in censure of this miserable war, by the communication which was made, but a few days ago, by Mr. Jefferson to congress. It is not al- ways that the effect can be taken as a just criterion of the cause which produced it; sometimes events of the greatest magni- tude are produced by means in every re- spect to human judgment inadequate, and sometimes also the best concerted mea- sures are rendered useless by unforeseen occurrences. But we apprehend such a plea cannot be urged in favor of our exe- cutive and marine departments.
We will not repeat what we have for- merly said on the subject of the waste of time and money occasioned by the mode of equipping the squadron of commodore Barron. The letter of Mr. O'Brien is a very sufficient comment upon it. After squandering the money of the public in conducting negative hostilities against Tri- poli for three years, it was at last deter- mined to do something; and for that pur- pose five frigates were put in commission, but their departure so long delayed, that they could not reach the place of action until the season of action had passed by, when they might as well be in the dry dock at Washington. This reminds us of a quaint distich—
Great Brunswick's Duke with forty thousand men, Marched into France, and then marched out again.
Our fleet has reached the coast of Tripoli just in time to quit it.
It was of the greatest importance that the ships of our squadron should arrive in the Mediterranean, as Mr. Jefferson would express it, "in the least possible time"; but instead of being dispatched as they could have been put in readiness, they were detained until they could all proceed at the same time; which produced another delay, as every novice knows that squad- rons or fleets can never make as much ex-
pedition as single ships; nor can it be al- ledged that this measure was necessary for their protection against the arms of an ene- my. Had one or two of the frigates arriv- ed in proper season to co-operate with Commodore Preble, we might not have to regret the failure of an enterprize from which we were taught to expect so much; nor to lament the useless sacrifice of the lives of so many of our fellow citizens.
Let the Admiral and his sapient Naval Secretary reconcile this mismanagement to their vaunted system of economy. Let them inform the people how much money has been expended in the late expedition against Tripoli, which is only not disgrace- ful to those immediately concerned in it, but is certainly far from reflecting honour upon the American government, or from terrifying the Bashaw into American terms. Let them, in their next financial estimate, state the probable expense of maintaining the ports of Malta or Sicily, during the winter season, in a state of in- action, a fleet which, had it been sent out at a proper season, might ere now have been at anchor in the ports of the United States, after having accomplished the ob- ject of its commission.
We have no doubt that if a chance of ef- fecting any thing presents itself to Com- modore Barron, he will avail him- self of it; but such a circumstance, rather to be hoped for than expected, will not invalidate any of the objections which we have suggested, but will rather strengthen them. It will prove that the same thing might have been effected long ago, and with a saving of money, of blood, and of honour. The ships of war, says Mr. O'Brien, can do nothing without the gun- boats and bombards, and the season is too far advanced for them to remain on that dangerous coast. Let us not therefore, flatter ourselves that deprived of the means of doing any thing, Captain Barron is to effect miracles. For whatever he may do little praise can be assumed by the warriors at Washington—"If he succeed the merit's all his own."
Our readers may, if they think proper, make a short comparison between the conduct of the present war against the petty and despicable pi- rates of Tripoli, and of the war, under Mr. A- dams, against another nation of pirates, the Great, Terrible, and Invincible Republic of France. When the aggressors on our trade, on the part of the French, were carried to such lengths as to be no longer sufferable, the then administration of the United States was not de- terred by the very considerable force which France had in the West Indies, nor by the aw- ful terror of her name in Europe, from adopting effectual measures to curb and to punish her in- solence. All the strength which it could command was immediately put in commission; and a tone of dignified resentment, was backed by a force active and respectable. The consequence was instantaneously experienced by our trade: one proof of which was that premiums for insurance to and from the West Indies, which had been, on the single outward or homeward risk, as high as twenty per cent. perhaps higher, in less than four months fell to seven and an half per cent; in some places perhaps to less.
This manly and energetic conduct produced in a very short time the end for which it was cho- sen. The mighty Republic soon discovered that it could derive neither profit nor glory from a contest with a nation resolved to risk every thing rather than its reputation; whose councils were influenced by a spirit of independence, panting with indignation at the remembrance of its wrongs; and governed by men capable of calling forth, and of giving a proper direction to its resources. Contrast this with the war against Tripoli; a poor dependency, with only one harbour, from which it could not find to sea, in all its corsairs, two hundred guns of every different size. Yet to reduce this insignificant power to terms has already consumed four years, and several mil- lions of dollars, without obtaining the most re- mote prospect of a time when the object may be effected.
For the purpose of effectually chastising Tri- poli, as well as for the more important purpose of impressing the other piratical states with a respect- ful idea of our power; the measures pursued by the government should have been from the first decisive, and the force employed, the greatest that could have been commanded. This perhaps would have been the case but for one reason— economy. An expedition thus conducted, would have cost a large sum of money; which would have looked but ill in Mr. Gallatin's first finan- cial reports. But now how is it? That expen- diture which would have brought hostilities to a close in the first year, has, we will venture to affirm, been far exceeded in maintaining Mr. Jefferson's "least possible force" for four years; and the whole operations of the war are to be commenced de novo. This much for economy; but what is to be said on the score of honour? Had a respectable navy been immediately sent against Tripoli, the Bashaw would have been astonished, or forced, into terms; and the fame of the American arms would have terrified the neighbouring states. But by four years procras- tination the enemy has gained confidence in him- self, learned to despise and resist us; and, to crown all, by an abortive attempt to bombard

his capital we have given him such an opinion of our incapability to injure him, as may postpone the period of peace yet many years, if not add to the number of our foes.
Thus stand our affairs in that part of the world. Policy ought to have forbidden any assault on Tripoli until it could have been done with some hopes of success. Being the first attempt of the kind made by the United States, all the chances and consequences of the discomfiture ought to have been well weighed. The measure and its result prove, that though Mr. Jefferson may be well qualified (and that he is so we are not at all inclined to doubt) to conduct a domestic war between parties, and to direct all the virulent energies of the Democratic Newspapers in America, he possesses but very few of those talents necessary to manage a foreign war between nations, and is but meanly calculated to cover the nation he rules with any thing resembling military glory. Let the cobler stick to his last.

Sir George Rumbold's release was not unconditional, but lettered with an engagement that he should not return to Hamburg, or reside in a diplomatic capacity within fifty leagues of the French territories! We greatly regret that we cannot add—Sir George Rumbold, with a magnanimity worthy of the character he sustained, declined to purchase his liberty and security by acceding to a capitulation unworthy of himself, and injurious to the honor of his country; but our province is to relate facts: Sir George Rumbold accepted the conditions, and as we have already stated, arrived safe in London.

An expedition is preparing against Martinique, which, from the acknowledged disposition of the inhabitants to shake off their present tyrannical government, and the force to be employed, promises to be successful. In addition to the troops under Genl. Maitland , three regiments of infantry, the 15th, 90th, and another battalion of the line, amounting in the whole to 2,500 men, will shortly embark at the Cove of Cork, with a detachment of engineers and artillery.—The officer who is to have the command of the expedition, is not yet named.

GENEALOGICAL TREE.
At the coronation of Kings and Emperors, the principal genealogist of the empire or kingdom, carries in procession the genealogical tree of the royal family before the anointed monarch. The following is Buonaparte's genealogy, which we deem it our duty to blaze and set forth for the entertainment and information of our readers:
Mrs. Ranioglia of Basle, married M. Ranioglia—and, secondly M. Fesch. She had by these marriages Letitia Ranioglia, and M. Fesch, now Cardinal Fesch.

Loss of the brig William, of New-Haven, Joseph Thompson master, from St. Croix, for New-York.
The brig William sailed from St. Croix on the 19th of January, nothing remarkable occurring from that time to the first day of February, on which she made the Capes of Virginia. At 11 o'clock, in the night of the first inst. whilst running to the N. N. E. at the rate of 7 knots, she was struck by a large brig, name unknown, on the starboard bow, with such violence as to stave in the whole thereof, from the stem to the fore chains, and rip up the fore part of the main deck. In five minutes the water was above the deck, and the brig settling down with great velocity, the captain and all hands having ran upon deck at the moment the concussion was felt, saw nothing but the most imminent dangers surrounding them, and the only refuge was to the long-boat as speedily as possible not even a moment could be spared to procure a biscuit or a little water; without any one article of clothing, save what they had on, or any provision whatever. Every person on board, (18 in number) among whom were Henry Morris Lisle, Esq. of Milton, in the vicinity of Boston, and servant, and captain Nathaniel F. Clarke, of Milford, Connecticut, passengers, got into the long boat, and in a very cold blustering night, were compelled to trust themselves to the raging ocean.
After being in the boat about three hours a sail ran close to the boat, but all their endeavors to render their cries audible were fruitless. The dawn of day presented nothing but an extreme rough scene and clouded prospect; at noon some of the men, chilled with cold, and exhausted by labour, abandoned the oars, declaring they might as well die at once, as protract an existence which would last only a few moments more. The sight, however, of a sail, bearing south, animated their desponding spirits, and impelled them to exertions. At 5 o'clock P. M. the men on board of her discovered them; and shortly after took them on board, in a situation which cannot be described. The vessel proved to be the sloop Sally, Throp, of Fairfield, (Conn.) to whom the passengers and crew not only are indebted for the preservation of their lives, but, we are authorised to say, feel the tenderest sensibility for his and his mate Ezra Morehouse's great attention and humanity.
LOSS OF THE SHIP SHEPHERDESS. On the 25th of September last, the ship Shepherdess, captain Goodfellow, sailed from the port of Nantz, for New York, with the following passengers:—
 Mad. Tureau, wife of the French minister, and her two children.  Mr. Petry, secretary of the French legation.  Mr. De Cabre, second do.  Mr. Le Quessac, private secretary to the legation.  Mr. Collett, formerly of Aux-Cayes.  Mr. and Mrs. Mauny, of Martinique.  Messrs. West, Appleton, Proctor and Morefeldt. 
The ship had a fair wind out of the bay Biscay, when it became contrary with great violence from the W. and S. W. which obliged the captain to lay her too
and lighten her. She beat up to the latitude of forty-seven, long. 23 with great perseverance, but the continuance of bad weather wore out her sails and rigging and the passengers becoming turbulent, the captain made for the island of Fayal, and anchored there on the 26th of Oct. The passengers met with every attention from the inhabitants, and Mr. John Street, the consul of the U. S. who afforded every aid in the refitting of the vessel. But the island afforded but scanty means, it was not till the 29th of Dec. that she left it. The only passenger that re-embarked being Mr. West; the others fearful of the watry element in the winter season, came to a resolution after much irresolution, to remain in the island.
The ship steered into the warm latitudes where she often becalmed, and reaching the longitude of 72, the captain put her about to the northward, and came on soundings the 27th of January. Since which the passengers and crew have suffered considerable hardships from the cold and scanty provisions. N. W. and N. E. winds blowing violently. About 12 days since spoke the brig sent out by the underwriters of New York to the relief of vessels blown off, but expecting to get into port, did not accept her proffered relief, which was afterwards much regretted. On the 5th inst. the wind at E. she made the entrance of New York harbor, on the 7th came up with it, and steering through the channel with a favorable prospect, about midway the wind suddenly ceased, and a heavy sea setting on shore, the captain let go his best anchor, but in spite of that she drifted, and no exertions could keep her off shore on Sandy-Hook, on which she struck at 8 o'clock at night. Here ensued a lamentable scene, the night being very foggy, no light could be seen; the sea beat over her with irresistible violence, washing completely the crew and passengers who could scarcely keep their hold.
In this manner the night was spent, and the majority were so numbed with the cold, as hardly to have the use of their faculties. About 8 in the morning, (Friday) she beat nearly close up on the beach, and it being low water, all attempted to reach the shore. The cook of the ship died with the severity of the cold, and one sailor slipped overboard, and was lost; the remainder of the crew succeeded in reaching the shore, with some difficulty. Mr. West also attempted it, but was knocked down in the surf, and was drawn ashore without any appearance of life. All received the most friendly and humane attention from Mr. and Mrs. Shenk, who keeps the light house, and succeeded in restoring Mr. West to life. All acknowledge their kindness with grateful sentiments, and avail themselves of this occasion to express them publicly.
P. S. The members of the French legation mean to winter on the island, and to charter a vessel in the spring to continue their voyage.

Extract of a letter from captain William Thompson, of the brig Horatio, of New-Haven, dated Nevis, January 2d. 1805.
I am under the disagreeable necessity, of informing you, that on the 25th ult. I had Robert Alling, my mate, and two of my people, namely, Russel Davenport, & Eugene Olmsted, impressed by the British ship Carysford, captain McKenzie, off St. Lucia; they being all the seamen on board at the time, and left the brig riding at a small Hawser, with only a boy and cook on board, nor would they allow them to let go an anchor nor us the liberty of going on board them; they refused to look at their protections, with which they were all furnished; they also pillaged several articles, for which they refused payment. I have forwarded a protest to the commodore in hopes to procure their release.
