Sold by Robert Gray, & the Author,
A gentleman well known in Philadelphia, and who is greatly respected as a clergyman and justly esteemed as a man of letters, has given the following opinion of this selection:
"The two volumes of Select Poetry, form a valuable contribution to the store 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 ex- tensive reading and scholastic acquirements."

Mr. PRINTER,
PLEASE to let a plain man whose business is not to write for the newspapers, for once occupy a small space in the Courier —a man too, who does not yet jump altogether with you in politics.
Myself, as well as my neighbors, are real republicans. We have considered the party called Federalists as composed of men who acted for themselves, without regarding the good of the whole; and in electing our present rulers, we expected from them something more than professions. But, alas! we begin to apprehend, that we have given up the substance, for the shadow, and that too many of those who have courted our favor, to obtain power, are, in truth, no better than what the Federalists told us they were—real tyrants at heart—men, who seek the gratification of their own appetites and passions; who flattered the people but to deceive; who, when their schemes of personal revenge are thwarted by the solemn decisions of justice, boldly and impiously step forward, to hurl justice herself from her seat, and fill the vacant place with the demon of faction and intrigue.
The Federalists told us, Mr. Printer, that the men who now bear rule over us, were unfriendly to the constitution; they told us, that some of them had opposed it, from the beginning; that their professions of attachment to it, at the time we elected them, were all hollow, and insincere; that, by one means and another, they would successively destroy its best provisions, and leave us nothing better to connect the states together, than that rope of sand , the old confederation.
I am alarmed, Mr. Printer, I begin to believe that the Federalists have said the thing that was right—continued evidence is afforded of the mock patriotism of those who have called themselves the friends of the people. Alteration upon alteration has taken place in our great constitutional charter—and, by the late proceedings, we see, that a Mr. Randolph, of Virginia, whom we have been taught to believe is the confidential man of the President, has brought forward a resolution to render the judges of our Supreme, and other Courts dependent upon the caprice of any number who happen to form a legislative majority. We have heretofore been told, Mr. Printer, that to ensure the ends of justice, it was necessary that the judicial should be kept separate from the legislative and executive departments—but the motion of Mr. Jefferson's friend, Randolph, goes directly to bring the judges at the feet of the Legislature, without impeachment or trial.
There is another man, too, whom we have been taught to consider as a friend of ours—Mr. Nicholson who wants the constitution altered so that a Senator may be called home whenever the legislature sees fit. Mercy upon us Mr. Printer, does this same Mr. Nicholson see the end to which his motion leads. A number of states may see fit, for the worst of purposes to vacate the seats of their Senators, in the midst of the session; deprive the Senate of a quorum; and at once put an end to the proceedings of government. I am much afraid this is the wish of too many at present in power.
Mr. Printer 'tis time for honest men to look about them; "all is not gold that glistens," says the old proverb—and we now begin to see that all are not republicans who profess to be so. We turned out the former administration for the adoption of measures which we were told would eventually injure the people, we took this say so upon trust; for the men who then administered the government had been our friends in the cabinet and in the field, during our struggle for national independence—but we now need not resort to prophecy; the evils are before us; and he must be blind indeed who cannot discover the turpitude of our leaders, and destitute of all perception is he who cannot discern the consequences which must result from the success of the measure which have been proposed.
It gives me pain Mr. Printer, that I cannot conclude without censuring the man I have delighted to honor, president Jefferson . About one third of his speech is taken up with strictures against the freedom of the press. I recollect when Mr. Jefferson was vice-president of America, a paper which he contributed to the support of, by more than the ordinary subscription for a Gazette, thanked GOD, when our old friend Washington went out of office, and said that the day ought to be kept as a day of jubilee, because "the name of Washington from that day ceased to legalise corruption, and to
give a currency to iniquity." I remember too that this great man patronized and subscribed for the works of a writer who had called John Adams "a hoary-headed incendiary;" and added, that he "had but completed the scene of iniquity which Washington began." I remember too, that Mr. Jefferson was among those who exclaimed against what was called "the gag-law;" that he advocated the unrestricted liberty of the press, and declared, that though evils might sometimes arise from its unrestrained freedom, they were nothing, when put in competition with those which must ensue, if the press was once touched by the hand of power. Now, in his speech, he more than plainly hints that it would be acceptable to him to have the different state legislatures make laws relative to the publications which issue from the press. Why, Mr. Printer, this beats the "gag-law" all hollow. John Adams never did any thing equal to this; the law passed under his administration expressly permitted the truth to be given in evidence; but our President hints at nothing like this: The press, it seems, has wounded him—the wounded bird flutters; but I hope the noise of his wings may not eventually prove the funeral knell of liberty.
Mr. Printer, I have in some measure thrown off my shackles—many of my neighbors have done the same; I hope in God all honest men will begin to look about them. At no period since the revolution, could the drug have been administered with such effect, which could cause a people to doze while their rights, dignity, honour, and their very liberties, were made the sport of designing men, as at this time; for at no period more than the present, have the majority been led to believe that their rulers were deserving of unlimited confidence.
But, Mr. Printer, I have hopes of my fellow-citizens yet—at least that part of them who have made principles, and not men, their object. If those principles which they believe essential to the maintenance of liberty, of our republican institutions, and of individual and general good are departed from, they will withdraw their confidence from those who have stepped aside from the path of rectitude, though a Randolph, a Nicholson, or even a Jefferson, should be found among the delinquents.
COOSAWHATCHIE.
From the Gazette of the United States.
We observe that the new division of political parties, which have recently taken place among us, has excited great interest in the neighbouring states. Indeed, it is natural that it should do so; for it appears to be generally understood that the effort now making by the revolutionary faction in this state are merely by the way of a subordinate experiment, for the purpose of getting the faction well organized and disciplined, in order that they may be prepared for greater enterprizes, and a more extensive warfare against the existence of constitutions and regular systems of government.
The origin of the revolutionary party is known to be in the Congress of the United States. Several of the more upright and intelligent democrats in that body have, on various occasions, refused to sanction the intemperance and destructive projects of the self-created dictators Randolph and Nicholson; in consequence of which, those haughty and imperious leaders separated themselves from their party and instituted a new faction, who profess an open hostility to the constitution, and publicly declare their intentions to abolish all those parts of it which afford security to the people. It has been thought expedient to try the strength of the new faction first in a individual state, and Pennsylvania has been pitched upon for the purpose. Pennsylvania contains a greater proportion than any other state of the factious outcasts of other nations, who have come to our shores for the purpose of plunder, and who have the entire an immediate interest in abolishing the restrictions imposed upon them by laws and constitutions; of course Pennsylvania may be expected more promptly to furnish her quota of recruits for the new faction. Pennsylvania can furnish a Leib and a Smilie; she has also on hand a "public organ," an instrument more easily tuned and managed by such performers as these, than any other state can boast. In addition to all this Pennsylvania is one of the largest, most wealthy, and most powerful states in the union; consequently her weight in the scale of the new faction would go far towards making it preponderate throughout the union.
All these things being taken into consideration, it is not strange that the most
strenuous efforts are making to gain proselytes to the doctrines of this formidable faction. Should they succeed here, the leaders will then proceed with confidence, and probably with success, to carry into execution the designs which they have formed and avowed against the constitution of the union.
Upon this view of the subject, the other states have scarcely less interest than ourselves in the present crisis of our affairs. Should the result be favorable to the continuance of our republican institutions, the experiment of the revolutionists will produce this good effect; it will convince many honest men of a fact which they have hitherto disbelieved, namely, that the men who have now put themselves at the head of that party are indeed hostile to the fundamental principles of our government. While that hostility was carried on by sap and mine only, many disbelieved the existence of it. Their operations were discovered and declared by Elliot, Jackson, and several others who refused to co-operate in the nefarious project; and the consequence has been, that they are driven from their covered ways and compelled either to abandon the enterprize or to attempt the citadel by storm. They have chosen the latter; and as we now have them in open day, it is easy to distinguish who are really friends and who enemies to the constitution. If we may judge from what has already taken place, the commanders of the revolutionary corps will meet with a dreadful disappointment and defeat. They had hoped to lead to an open attack, all those whom they had deceived by insidious arts and treacherous professions. But their calculation has failed. Many had been imposed upon who have never been corrupted in their principles; and all these will now be found on the side of the constitution.
Latest Foreign Intelligence.
NEW-YORK, March 28.
By the ship Liverpool Packet , captain Waite, in 43 days from Liverpool, we have received London and Liverpool papers to the 9th February.
The papers contain no news of importance—being principally filled with debates in Parliament on the Spanish war, and papers relative to it, submitted to them by the Ministry.
A messenger had arrived in London from Russia with dispatches of an important nature for the British government, a secret expedition of great magnitude, was fitting out at Portsmouth: its destination was conjectured to be some place within the limits of Europe.
LONDON, January 31.
Amidst the violent contentions which have arisen between our political parties, and their numerous subdivisions, the great preparations which are now nearly complete for the grand expedition, and the destination of the great force which composes it, have lately appeared to be but second rate considerations. It will, however, we have reason to believe, take advantage of the first favorable appearance of the weather, to put to sea. The forces are assembled principally at Portsmouth and the neighboring district, and in the Isle of Wight; and the embarkation will immediately take place at Cowes, Portsmouth and Southampton. We are not aware of the number of the troops, nor could we speak with propriety even of our conjecture as to the object of the expedition. It is generally believed, however, from the terms upon which the transports have been taken up by government, that it will not exceed the confines of Europe.
Several officers left town yesterday, having received orders to join without delay.
A considerable degree of political enquiry and speculation has lately occupied the public mind, relative to what is likely to be the situation of Portugal with regard to the respective belligerent powers; and some people have even gone so far as to destine the expedition, now about to take its departure, for the defence of that faithful ally.
It appears, however, upon a transitory view of the present state and circumstances of that kingdom, and its political relations with France and Spain, that any step of that nature would be premature upon our part: and it seems extremely problematical, whether any arrangement has been concluded with the Prince Regent, by which our troops would be sure of a friendly admission into the territories of her most faithful majesty.
In the next place, it is mere matter of conjecture whether Bona parte will be contented, in the present circumstances of the
war, with the usual amount of his extortions, or if he will set a new price upon neutrality, either in moldores or political concessions. In this latter view of the case he will insist upon the wing a Garrison into Lisbon, and the frontier towns, and shutting all the ports of Portugal against the ships and commerce of England. In the former, it is not very probable that ministers will permit Portugal to act precisely the part which Spain has not been allowed to pursue.
February 1.
A gentleman just arrived from Rotterdam, states, that new measures of severity are exercised against the English in Holland. Several British subjects are detained by force, and every kind of British merchandise is confiscated.
February 2.
A Rotterdam paper of the 29th ult. was received in town yesterday containing the important intelligence, that on the day preceding, the Assembly of the State had passed the decree, that the Dutch Government was reduced to the necessity of stopping payment of the Public Annuities. The decree states, as the cause of bankruptcy, that they have been unhappily, through their connection with France, involved in the present war with Great Britain, and that they must have either called on the public for a contribution of at least one per cent per month, or of suspending their payments. They preferred the latter, as the least of two evils, and accordingly all payments of the public dividends are stopped. This will be a dreadful calamity to all the widows, orphans, and others, whose whole property has been lodged in the public funds of Holland. It will have very little if any effect in England.
February 3.
Through the same channel which some weeks ago enabled us, to be the first to announce the discussions which had arisen between France and Austria on the subject of the Austrian cordon, formed on the Italian frontiers, we now learn that neither these discussions, nor the most angry remonstrance of the French cabinet, for a moment suspended the execution of that measure.
On the nineteenth of December the line comprised forty two thousand men: other troops were on their route for the same neighborhood; and we can further assure our readers that the Austrian corps, forming in Hungary, Transylvania, the Banat, Slavonia and Croatia, amounted at the date of the last accounts to nearly 100,000 men, assembled under pretence that the troubles in Belgrade and Servina, rendered a cordon on that frontier necessary, to prevent aggression on the part of the insurgents. This had been the occasion of a fresh remonstrance from Paris, on the ground that the imperial cabinet had thought such precaution unnecessary, during those periods of insurrection in which the tranquillity of the Austrian provinces were more exposed than at present;—that therefore the assemblyment of the troops in question justified suspicion, and more so as their number greatly exceeded the alleged occasion.
We have strong reasons to believe that the recent march of French troops into Italy, and the orders which we understand to have been issued for the formation of an extensive French camp in the Alsace early in the ensuing spring to be immediately connected with the above movements of Austrian troops.
We have seen a private letter from Vienna, of the 16th ult. which states that some days before two couriers arrived within the space of a few hours with dispatches from Count Cobentzel at Paris—those dispatches are represented as being of the greatest political importance, that three extraordinary conferences of state ensued, and that orders were immediately after given for reinforcing the Austrian troops in Italy.
Private letters from Madrid of the 11th ult. mention the receipt of very unpleasant accounts from Mexico. Some serious troubles had broken out there, and the inhabitants generally are represented as being extremely dissatisfied at the conduct of the present viceroy. Since the cession of Louisiana to America, the people of Mexico have evinced a strong disposition to a like union with the United States, and the American government is accused of having sent emissaries to foment their existing discontent.
The Spanish army at St. Roch was according to Madrid letters of the 7th ult. to be augmented with all possible dispatch to fifty thousand men. A French auxiliary corps to be commanded by a field marshal, is expected early in the spring, till which period the intended operations of the Spaniards are to be deferred.

The report that Lord Nelson had taken Minorca is repeated by every advice from the continent.
Some late French papers state that it is now determined to attempt the invasion of England early in the spring.
Bonaparte and the pope are said to be going to Milan, to assist in the coronation of Joseph Bonaparte as King of Lombardy.
Many of the officers employed in the secret expedition, have left town for Portsmouth and Southampton, in consequence of positive orders. The enterprise has a primary and an anterior object, and the effort is considered as the most important ever undertaken in this country.
The late French papers are filled with speculations of the probability of peace. It is asserted that England has accepted of the mediation of Prussia; that a new Austrian ambassador is to arrive at Paris; that one of the German princes has presented a plan for a general pacification; and that the sultan has cut off his vizier's head, for being friendly disposed towards the English, &c. &c.
Mungo Park, the celebrated traveller, started from Portsmouth on Friday, in an armed vessel, for Africa, to pursue his researches in the interior of that continent.
February 5.
The fleet which sailed from Rochefort, consisted, it is said, of one ship of 120 guns, two of 84, and three of 74, besides several frigates. Each ship is stated to have had on board as many soldiers as could be received; and there were also in the fleet a number of artillery men and two hundred pieces of ordnance.
The possibility that Ireland might be the destination of the Rochefort squadron, was not overlooked by our naval administration, who sent off dispatches on Friday night, to Lord Gardner, at Cork, and Admiral Drury, at Booterstown, with advice of the enemy having left that town.
February 8.
We are still unable to communicate any information to our readers respecting the Rochefort squadron.
We have the strongest reason to believe that there is no foundation for the report of the capture of the Prince of Wales's Island.
Spain lately possessed a very extensive trade in the Mediterranean, all the commerce of France, Genoa, Etruria, &c. being carried on under the Spanish flag, which likewise gave protection to the French intercourse with the Levant and Black sea. America will doubtless seek to avail itself of this carrying trade; but we hope the vigilance of our cruisers, and the energy of our government, will prevent any flag becoming the mere cover for the commercial enterprise of our enemies.
Admiral Cornwallis, in the Ville de Paris, with the Neptune, reached Ushant on the 28th ult. at which time his squadron comprised only 14 sail of the line.
A Spanish lieutenant-general, named Filangieri, has arrived at Ferrol, to take the command of the troops in garrison (10 000 in number); and he is to have at his disposal seven hundred seamen, commanded by French officers. The inhabitants are also organized into a corps for the defence of the town.
All the private letters and papers brought by ten mails which have arrived from Hamburg, agree in stating, that the obstacles which have occurred in the mediation on the part of Prussia, in the dispute between Russia and France, still continue; and that Bonaparte is much concerned at this circumstance. Austria, Prussia, and Russia, is also represented as being far advanced in negotiations, of which it is the object to maintain the peace of the continent, and to guarantee it against encroachments upon the part of any other power.
LIVERPOOL, Feb. 7.
On Tuesday last arrived here, the ship Lord Nelson, captain Maginnis from St. Thomas, which Island he left on the 26th December, in company with the ship Harmony, capt. Reed, of 20 guns, and the Nymph, capt. Heinse, of 10 guns. Previous to sailing they agreed to keep company for their mutual protection. A few hours after they sailed, they fell in with a large schr. privateer of 10 guns, 2 of them long twelve pounders and 100 men, all of whom, as well as the capt. were black.
Capt. Maginnis seeing that the privateer was making a stretch to cut off the Nymph directly, bore too to give her time to come up with him; in this, however, he was disappointed, as the privateer succeeded in boarding and carrying her. The Lord Nelson then continued her course, the privateer in chase, which she kept up the
whole of the night, and at 3 P. M. the following day the wind having greatly abated, the privateer came up to her, when the Lord Nelson prepared for action, which soon commenced by the enemy attempting to board. This manoeuvre, capt. Maginnis evaded by heaving his ship in the wind, and giving the privateer his broadside of star and grape shot. The action was then continued within pistol shot, with great warmth on both sides, for upwards of an hour and an half, the privateer making several attempts to board; at length she crouded what sail she could and bore off in the most shattered condition, her rigging being very much cut, her main-boom shot away, and all her bulwarks entirely gone.
Capt. Maginnis adds, that his officers and crew behaved with great intrepidity, and gave the privateer three cheers as she sheered off.
The Harmony, capt. Reed, made all sail, and bore away before the action commenced at the time the privateer was endeavouring to cut off the Nymph.
Cork, Thursday evening 9 o'clock. No thing, it seems, in all this bustle about an enemy being on the coast. The alarm arose from a ship not answering signals.
BARBADOES, Feb. 12.
GALLANT NAVAL ACTION.
His Majesty's brig Curieux, capt. Bettesworth, which sailed from hence on the 3d inst. has triumphantly returned this morning with the enemy's proudly boasted privateer Madame Ernouf! At day light yesterday morning the Curieux discovered the enemy, who crouded all sail to escape, but after 11 hours chase was brought to action, which commenced with equal gallantry on both sides, and lasted from four o'clock until half past five o'clock in the afternoon; the enemy three times throwing his vessel on board the Curieux, and attempting to board, but as often failed with considerable loss. From the true courage of the enemy, in sustaining the dreadful fire of the Curieux, evinced by the shocking havoc of the crew, and shattered state of the vessel.—Captain Bettesworth derives additional honor by obtaining a victory, which, although not of great magnitude, has been as obstinately contested as any in the annals of naval gallantry. What renders it the more considerable and important is the thus having secured our trade from the further depredations of one of the enemys most successful cruisers; also strengthening our own naval force by the addition of a remarkable fine vessel, which when thoroughly repaired, will answer his majesty's service in these seas. The Madame Ernouf had sailed on her present cruise three weeks ago, from Guadalupe, commanded by captain Cassex, is a brig of 16 heavy sixes, and carried one hundred and twenty men; had only made one capture, the ship Minerva, (taken by the Nimrod) in which ten of her crew were absent, and in the above action had seven killed and thirty wounded. The vessel considerably shattered in her hull, her foretopmast carried away and, and literally almost every sail and part of her rigging cut up. On board the Curieux, one officer (Mr. Maddock, purser) and four men were killed, and three men, one mortally wounded. Captain Bettesworth received a slight wound in the cheek from a musquet ball, which made an incision in his ear, and passed through his hat. The Curieux is a large brig (and was about this time twelve months out of Port Royal, captain, then lieut. Bettesworth being second in the command in the enterprise) carries an equal number of guns with the enemy, but of heavier metal, and has one hundred and eighteen men.
SALEM, (New-England) March 22.
A man, by the name of William Tyrrel, was yesterday apprehended in this town, and examined before Mr. Justice Tucker, on suspicion of having broke into Essex Bank. Among the circumstances which appeared against him on examination, was his having applied to a Smith of this town to forge a key to a wooden pattern, which was produced, and which agreed in dimensions with a key belonging to the bank; and a bill of that bank being found upon him, which was filled up in a false hand. Several bills not filled up were stolen when the bank was entered. The justice thought proper to commit him. It was painful to see a man of his appearance thus arraigned; young, of genteel manners, and intelligent in his observations. He has been in this town most of the winter, said he belonged to New Orleans, and was travelling principally to see the country.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3.
We have been favored by a friend with the perusal of a letter which contains the following information: [N. Y. pap.]
"On Thursday night last a dangerous fire broke out at Kingston, Esopus, in this state, which had nearly proved fatal to the whole town. About ten o'clock in the evening judge A. B. Bancker having occasion to go into his barn, found on opening the door a small bundle of straw just getting into a blaze. He put his foot on it to extinguish it, when the straw-band broke, and the wind being high, the draft from the door spread the straw over the barn, which was soon in a total blaze; and the heat communicating across the street to Abraham Hoffman's barracks, soon enveloped his buildings in flames. He has lost his all, not even preserving any of his furniture. The town was on fire in many places at the same time. The church and several other buildings that had taken fire, were fortunately saved."
The present winter, since a few days before Christmas, has been one of the most severe experienced for a great many years back. The weather can hardly be said to have been settled to that clear sky and moderate cold, a few degrees below the freezing point, which distinguishes the winter of this country. There is at present about seven feet of snow in the woods where it does not drift. The usual quantity about the middle of March, when it is generally at the highest, is from four to five feet.
A very deplorable accident happened last week at St. Augustine, a few leagues from this city: a whole family of eight persons and a woman belonging to the same parish who lodged in the house, were buried under the ruins of their house which was crushed to pieces in the night, by the falling of a great body of snow from the eape under which it was built. The accident was not discovered by the neighbors till the next morning; the place where the house stood was barely discernable; they however proceeded immediately to remove the snow and the ruins, and were so fortunate as to extricate two of the unfortunate family alive. The mangled bodies of the remainder presented the most affecting sight; and the whole, consisting of a father, mother, four children and the woman who lodged in the house, were taken to the neighboring church yard the following day and buried in the same grave.
The name of the family is Villeneuve, the woman's name Laurencelle; she has left two children, who lodged with her, but were, providentially, at another house at the time of the accident.
