In two Volumes, Octavo. Price two and an half Dollars. 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 stock of English literature. I really consider the work as the best compilation now extant. The selections and arrangements evince the taste of a correct and cultivated 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."

CHARLESTON, (S. C.) Feb. 5.
A few days since it was mentioned in the public papers, that the legislature of Ohio had granted leave for a bill to be introduced for changing the names of the counties of Adams, Hamilton and Ross .
Those legislators who sit down to change such names of counties to some others, probably to Beelzebub, Bonaparte, and Robespierre , have found out an office better fitted for their hearts and heads than making good laws. Those citizens of the swamps and statesmen of the scalping knife, had better cross the mountains, and go to some school for grown persons; there they will stand a chance of learning that there are such things in the world as histories and national records; and that, unless they can contrive to burn all the libraries in America and Europe, their impotent malice can no more expunge the glories of

Hamilton and Adams from the annals of the world, than a drop of the Crocodile tears once shed by their lord and master over the grave of Washington, could melt away a mountain of adamant. Poor wretches! they have just intellect enough to betray their malice, but not wit enough to give it effect. Columbus lives to everlasting fame by his deeds, while that of Americas Vespasius is only kept alive, like a spark under the ashes, by the misnomer of America, which, in justice, ought to be called Columbia. The fame of the former was built on other grounds than the naming of a place.
Those legislators may not, however, be without an object; they may have got a hint to begin a series of changes, mediated by our ruling faction, in humble imitation of the French Jacobin Usurpers, by whom "Nothing, no, nothing, was left unchanged!" The others being exhausted, for means to shew their malice, they now parvey for their turnitude in the names of places. The savages of the Ohio have roused the game, and the war-whoop will soon reach the Atlantic, where Americans may be assured not a town will be left bearing the name of Washington. Mr. Eppes, the president's son-in-law, wants to have the territory of Columbia ceded to Maryland and Virginia: this is circumstance coincident.
In one respect they are right: they take from the rich what the rich do not want, and give it to the poor indeed. A Jeffersonian, like that of Americas, may be bolstered up for a while by the name of a place, but the fame of a Washington, a Hamilton, or an Adams, like that of Columbus, will live till, to use the beautiful idea of Ben Johnson, Time shall throw a dart at Death.
Sidney's Sister—Pembroke's mother, Death, after her but drunk another Fair and learned and good as she, Time shall throw a dart at thee.
NEW LONDON, Feb. 15.
An horrid act of barbarity, we are informed, was perpetrated last week, in Suffield. A boy about twelve years old, living with an inligat family, who were ill-provided with beds, solicited permission, (the night being extremely cold) to sleep by the fire on the ground floor. This however, was refused him by the master of the house, who on the boy's repeating the request, with his horse whip drove him into a cold garret, where his only covering was a few rags; and in that situation left him to spend the night. The cries of the boy, however, soon reached his ear; he returned to the garret, and there beat and mangled him, till all complaints were effectually silenced. The next morning the boy was found apparently lifeless; all the lower part of his body frozen; an unequalled object of misery! Our informant adds, there is no doubt that the boy, before this, is dead.
NEW-YORK, February 15.
Early in the American war David Bushnell, A. M. of Saybrook, invented a machine for submarine navigation, altogether different from any thing hitherto devised by the art of man. This machine was so contrived as that it could be rowed horizontally, at any given depth, under water, and could be raised or depressed at pleasure. To this machine, called the American Turtle , was attached a magazine of powder, which was intended to be fastened under the bottom of a ship with a driving screw, in such a manner as that the same stroke which disengaged it from the machine should put the internal clock work in motion. This being done, the ordinary operation of a gunlock, at the distance of half an hour, or any fixed time, would cause the powder to explode, and leave the effects to the common laws of nature. The simplicity, yet combination, discovered in the mechanism of this wonderful machine, have been acknowledged by those skilled in physics, and particularly hydraulics, to be not less ingenious than novel. Mr. Bushnell invented several other curious machines for the annoyance of the British shipping, but from accidents, not militating against the philosophical principles on which their success depended, they but partially succeeded. He destroyed a vessel in the charge of Commodore Symonds. One of his kegs also demolished a vessel near the Long Island shore. About Christmas, 1777, he committed to the Delaware river a number of kegs, destined to fall among the British fleet at Philadelphia; but his squadron of kegs having been separated and retarded by the ice, demolished but a single boat. This catastrophe, however, produced an alarm, unprecedented in its nature and degree; which has been so happily described by the Hon. Francis Hop-
kinson, in a song stiled, "The Battle of the Kegs," that the event it celebrates will not be forgotten so long as mankind shall continue to be delighted with works of humour and taste.
BALTIMORE February 18.
Extract of a letter from the city of Washington, dated, Feb. 17.
The trial of the impeachment of judge Chase is proceeding. The Senate determined on Thursday to open the court on Friday morning one hour earlier than before, but as Mr. Randolph did not appear in his place at the time appointed, the commencement of the trial was delayed until 11 o'clock at the request of the other managers, all of whom were present, but were unwilling to proceed in his absence. A motion to proceed was made twice and carried in the last instance.
Some time after Mr. Randolph appeared booted and spurred, and took his seat among the managers.
The evidence on the part of the respondent, was opened on Friday by Mr. Harper, one of judge Chase's counsel—it is believed it will be closed on Tuesday next. The judge's counsel deserve much praise for the candor and liberality they have exhibited during the whole course of the trial. They have not cavilled in any instance at deviations from the strictest rules of evidence, but have appeared willing that every circumstance at all connected with the questions in dispute, should be disclosed, wisely confiding the whole to the wisdom & discernment of the honorable body who are to pass judgment upon them. The vice president conducts the proceedings with great decorum, promptness and impartiality, in which he is supported by the members of the Senate generally, whose final decision will undoubtedly be the result of a cool, unbiased, and deliberate judgment upon the whole of the case, alike free from political hatred and favoritism.
The general sentiment here even among the political adversaries of the judge, is that he will be honorably acquitted. The candor and unsusppecting frankness of his character may have some times led him into indiscreet expressions and actions, but every imputation of corrupt intention is now entirely removed; the charges are gradually vanishing away before the evidence. It is to be lamented that a man in his high official station, whose talents (as has been justly said) render him an ornament to his country, in whose service he is now grown grey—it is truly to be lamented that such a man, even by indiscretion or levity, should be brought to the bar of his country to answer for high crimes and misdemeanors; but let those who harshly condemn him ask their own breasts whether they could undergo the ordeal to which his character has been subjected? Whether nothing worse than levity and indiscretion might be found by ransacking the private confidential journal conversations for five years or more past?

COMMUNICATION.
Yesterday evening was married, by the Rev. Mr. Davis, Glenn Pearce , Esq. of Maryland, to Miss Julia Dick , the amiable daughter of E. C. Dick, Esq. mayor of this town.
The votes of the Electors of President and Vice-President were counted on Wednesday the 18th inst. in the Senate, the house of representatives attending, and were declared as follows:
President—THOMAS JEFFERSON, 162 C. C. PINCKNEY, 14 Vice-President—GEORGE CLINTON, 162 RUFUS KING, 14
Letters from Liverpool, of the 6th Dec. state, that in consequence of receiving accounts of the damage done to the Cotton crops in S. Carolina and Georgia, by the
gale in September last, Cotton had risen there, & was in considerable demand. Sea Island was from 2s 4. to 2s 10. and one parcel of very fine sold at 3s 3. Short staple was at 1s 6. to 1s 7.
The dreadful malady with which Gibraltar was lately afflicted (according to a private letter) was introduced by means of about twenty Spaniards getting in undiscovered by the guards. They took up their residence in some tenements on the premises of Mr. Wm. Boyd, and soon after twelve of them died, and the proprietor of the premises and his wife shared the same fate. It was soon ascertained that they were part of the people who had, in a fit of desperation, forced their way through a cordon of troops placed round Malaga, to prevent the introduction of the disorder into other parts of the country.

A writer in a paper printed at Lexington, Virginia, deplores the unhappy divisions which have existed in the house of delegates of that state, respecting the employment of a chaplain, recommends that the duty of that station should be assigned to the speaker of the house, and the members, in rotation; and thinks, that man must be poorly qualified for a representative, who cannot make one or two prayers in a session.
[Freeman's Journal.]
We are informed that a Mr. Henry Goodall, of Chatham, an aged man, under the care of the town, being a little insane, was chained to the floor of the house in which he was kept, on the night of the 5th inst. and in that situation froze to death!

BEAR.—On Saturday the ninth instant was discovered by the passengers in the stage from New York to Newark, at a small distance from the Hackensack bridge a Bear of an enormous size; a circumstance which seldom happens in a country so well populated as this, and is truly indicative of the intenseness of the winter in our northern settlements.

From the WASHINGTON FEDERALIST, of February 20.
Yesterday the examination of the testimony was finished in the High Court of Impeachment. The pleadings will commence this day.
On Friday last we had the pleasure to see our harbour opened and cleared of ice, after having been closed for these two months.
In the afternoon of Monday last, between three and four o'clock, the inhabitants of this town were exceedingly alarmed by the cry of fire. One of the houses adjoining the Union Tavern, and occupied by Mr. M'Laughlin for the accommodation of part of his numerous boarders, was discovered to be enveloped in smoke, and in a short time the flames burst through the roof and windows, threatening destruction and ruin to the whole square. Happily, however through the timely, vigorous and well directed exertions of the citizens, who appeared to vie with each other in rendering every assistance to their unfortunate and suffering fellow citizen, the fire was entirely extinguished; but not before part of the two buildings between the Union and Mr. Rigg's brick house, had been consumed and pulled down. The damage sustained cannot, in our opinion, be overrated at 3000 dollars.
The terror and dismay occasioned by this distressing event, can be more easily imagined than described. We feel pleasure in recording the meritorious services
of our fellow-citizens from Washington, who hastened from the city with a promptitude and alacrity that calls for our highest admiration and sincerest praise.
We regret too that several of the members of congress, and their ladies, were driven from their comfortable habitations. The loss sustained by them, we expect, was considerable, for the confusion and hurry in removing was very great.
On an occasion like the present, we beg leave to suggest the propriety and importance of forming and establishing Fire Companies in Washington and Georgetown, for although we cheerfully allow every praise to those who assisted, yet we feel sensible that by a well organized Company, the community would experience signal advantage from their uniform and persevering efforts in any similar event.
We understand that the celebration of the anniversary of our illustrious Washington, is frustrated by this unexpected event, almost every article of luxury & elegance prepared for the occasion having been destroyed.
