RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801:
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, man contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, January 20.
DEBATE ON EXTRA SESSION.
[CONTINUED.]
[Mr. Bacon's Speech concluded.]
The gentleman's address had to me a meaning most solemn and portentous, taken in connexion with the times and circumstances under which it was delivered. But what are the mighty means by which this crisis is to be produced, and what is the powerful lever by which these commotions are to be raised—the old stale topic of a perpetual embargo—like the gentleman from Virginia, I nauseate the subject.—The idea of a permanent embargo is worn out, and I thought had by this time been discarded from the mind of every man both in this House and in the nation. I am not about to enter upon a wire-drawn argument to shew either from the particular terms of the law or the general construction of language whether it is so or not.—These views have been long since exhausted. What then are the new arguments never before produced which are now offered by the gentleman to prove that such must have been the original policy of the law?—It is that it was recommended by the Executive as a precautionary measure, while it was supported by some members on this floor as a coercive one. On this point let me bring to the notice of the gentleman the temporary embargo of 1794, recommended as I have always understood, by General Washington, and held out to foreign nations as a mere measure of precaution, to secure our vessels and our merchandise from belligerent aggressions and plunder. But how was it supported in this House? It was supported as the present law has also sometimes been, as a measure of coercive policy. We have but few of the debates which took place on the former occasion, to revert to, but I have in my hand the speech of a gentleman of distinguished talents, and a predecessor of mine, who then had a seat in this House, giving his views of that measure—[Mr. Bacon here read the following paragraph from the speech of Mr. Sedgwick on his introducing a resolution empowering the President to lay an embargo on the 12th day of March, 1794.]
"The reasons on which this idea of an embargo were founded, are that Great-Britain cannot supply her West-Indies, except from the United States; if this is in any degree true in peaceable times, how much more forcibly must it operate now. They have a considerable military force there to feed; in truth, without supplies from this country they must inevitably abandon a project, with them a favorable one, the conquest of the French West-Indies—in this situation of affairs he believed it would be found proper to put into the hands of the President a power to lay this embargo; and in a moment to prevent all supplies going to the West-Indies."
The sentiments (continued Mr. B.) here advanced) prove that the idea of an embargo in this country being considered as a measure of coercive policy in respect to foreign nations, to Great-Britain in particular, is not a novel one—that it is no fanciful notion of the present day, but owes its origin to the politicians of the old school.—I have introduced them however more particularly to shew, that the auspices under which this measure of embargo was introduced and recommended to the nation, and the views with which it was supported, were the same now as in 1794—that they were both precautionary and coercive—and will the gentleman say, that President Washington or the Congress of 1794, were, as he asserts we are, instrumental in deceiving the nation, and yet his argument will equally apply to both cases.
But the gentleman affects to consider our neglect in providing general efficient means of hostility as a certain indication that we have no idea of interposing any other measures of resistance to the violations of our rights than the embargo, and says that we have not even sufficient spirit to fit out our little navy. On this head I can answer only for one, and can say with truth, that I have always been ready, at least to an equal extent with my colleague, to lend my
support to every measure either of defence or offence which has been proposed to us. As to the navy, every one knows that it has not been any thing like a party question, and that the two political parties which usually appear in this house have been nearly equally divided upon it. The fact is, that the apparent tardiness of our proceeding on this point has been occasioned more by a difference of opinion as to what were the most appropriate means of national defence, than by any doubt whether the essential rights of the nation should be defended in that mode which should ultimately be thought to be upon the whole the most expedient and efficient. Another consideration has undoubtedly had its influence in deterring the government from launching into those extensive measures of hostile preparation which have perhaps been too long delayed. There can be no question that the most ardent desire of the government has been for the preservation of peace if it could in any consistence with the national rights and honor be preserved, and in proportion as their desire has been ardent, no doubt we have flattered ourselves with the expectation that it might yet be preserved. Perhaps this reliance has already been cherished too long—and as the storm thickens around us and the political horizon assumes a more threatening aspect, we are now progressing more rapidly in the preparations for a system different from that system which has until this time been pursued, and in this work we may very properly call upon gentlemen of all political parties to unite their efforts, and contribute whatever they can to the defence of their country. It is said that the army which was provided for at our last session has been organized upon party principles, and officered generally from one political sect, and that such an army cannot be intended for defence against foreign aggressions, but must be solely for domestic purposes. As to the fact which the gentleman mentions, I know nothing about it. For myself I can truly say, that on the subject of appointments to office generally in a government like ours, my general opinions have heretofore been more liberal than would probably be esteemed orthodox by almost any political party in this country, certainly much more so than was practised upon by the political friends of my colleague when they presided in our public councils. As there are certainly a great number of men who differ from the present majority in their political sentiments, upon whom I could place the utmost reliance if called to defend their country, I would never consent that the single sin of federalism should be deemed sufficient to exclude them from all participation in either civil or military offices. But if the gentleman in one part of his speech yesterday intended to give us a sample of those men in whose behalf he complained on account of their exclusion from military commands, it is certainly no subject of my regret that such exclusion has been thought proper by the head of that department. Sir, was it a patriotic effort on the part of the gentleman to endeavor in that public manner to chill the spirit of the nation, and to discourage them from the assertion of their just rights, by disparaging our resources, undervaluing our means of annoyance to our enemies, and proclaiming in the face of the world our vulnerable points and most defenceless positions; and at the same time magnifying the power of a foreign nation, and declaring that she held against us those pledges for our good behavior which we could not put at risk without the most imminent hazard and destruction to ourselves? Sir, when I heard the gentleman avowing to the world sentiments of this sort, my heart sunk within me, especially when I saw full in his eye a protege of the minister of his Britannic majesty, rioting no doubt upon the charms of his eloquence, and receiving it with those kind of sensations so natural to the human heart, when the pride of the country to whose fortunes we are attached is the subject of eulogy. I trust that these are not the national feelings or sentiments of the great body of those with whom the gentleman is generally associated in his political conduct. If they are, they could indeed hardly be relied upon to lead our armies to the field of battle—and those would be but poor defenders of their country, who declared at the outset that it was utterly incapable of defence.
We are pressed by the gentleman to answer, why, if we have any intention of defending our rights by any other means than the embargo, we do not now give a pledge to the nation of our intention to abandon it at some limited period, and resort to some other system if justice is not previously done us. This is perhaps a reasonable question, and I feel for my own part no hesitation in answering it. It is probably recollected that I had some time since declared to the house an opinion that in the present circumstances of the country it was the du-
ty of the government to fix upon a definite period beyond which an adherence to our present position should not be maintained, and with that view I moved at that time that the resolution for repealing the embargo laws which had been moved in the early part of the session by a gentleman from Vermont should be referred to the committee of the whole who had under consideration the subject of a non-intercourse with G. Britain and France, with a view that it might be considered in connection with that or some other measure as a substitute upon its removal. In that motion, however, I met with but little encouragement on any side of the house. It would perhaps be desirable that the proposition for limiting the continuance of our present system should come from some other quarter—but if it should not, I shall feel no hesitation in offering it at an early day, and placing the time of it at no very distant period. If there were no other considerations in favor of such a measure, it is perhaps due to the feelings of that portion of our citizens who by such addresses to their passions and their prejudices as we yesterday heard from my colleague have been induced to believe, that that this was a system of perpetual exclusion from the ocean, and a permanent abandonment of commercial enterprise, and who acting under that palpable delusion may by the artifices of desperate partisans, and designing leaders, be led into acts of insubordination, and involved in crimes, which under the influence of correct information they would deprecate and shudder at. Tho' it is more especially the province of my colleague to consider seriously upon whose head the blood of such of our fellow citizens may in a good measure rest; yet I feel it a duty to do what lies in my power to undeceive them. In the furtherance of this desirable object, I have reason to believe that a large majority of the house will unite, and having done this I will consent to do no more. Let the crisis talked of by the gentleman come when it will it is our duty to meet it; let its consequences rest upon those by whose misrepresentations & instigations it has been promoted and encouraged. [Debate to be continued.]

PALAMOS, Oct. 31.
Extract from a private letter.
"The letters received by your house here, from your correspondents at Mahon, contain the following advices: You need not now expect the 5000 English who were coming from Sicily, since they received orders, on the voyage, to put back, in consequence of the Neapolitans having applied for their assistance to shake off the yoke of the French. All the troops that were in Sicily, both English and Sicilians, have already landed on the continent. We conceive that at this moment that kingdom is in a state of general insurrection, and expects that the French there will be totally exterminated."
"This afternoon arrived in this harbor, in six days from St. Pedro, in Sardinia, the S. Josef felucca, Martin Mone, master.—He affirms that at St. Pedro possitive accounts had been received of the landing of the English and Sicilian troops in the kingdom of Naples, and of their having been joined by the Calabrians, and of their acting in the most vigorous manner against the usurper, Murat, with a united force of 80,000 men. He adds, that the Spanish consul at St. Pedro directed him to communicate this intelligence on his arrival in Spain."
The following is the translation of a curious and most important Commission to Don F. Palafox, brother to the celebrated General, a member of the Central Junta, constituting him after the manner of the French in the outset of their career, a Commissioner over their Generals, with powers of the most extraordinary kind. We read this paper with great concern, because it betrays an impatience that may hurry the Commanders into indiscretion.
COPY OF A LETTER
From the Supreme Junta to Gen. D. Francisco Palafox, brother of Don Joseph Palafox, Captain General of Arragon.
"The Supreme Junta is convinced of the absolute necessity of our armies putting themselves in motion against those of the enemy, which are causing so great evils in the Spanish territory. The Junta has at different times made manifest its desires to the Generals, and however just the reasons for delay and inactivity may have been hitherto, it has nevertheless been mischievous and many evils must be encreased by it, especially should the enemy receive their expected reinforcements. The government can no longer observe with indifference, that their towns are sacked and destroyed with
impunity, at a time when our forces are number those of the enemy, and our officers burn with impatience to attack them. There must be immediately an end of such delay in our operations, which, if continued on with activity, might save the country, while want of energy exposes it to great danger. To avoid delay, and to give to the armies all the energy that is required on this occasion, your excellency is commissioned to go to the head quarters of the army of the centre and elsewhere, with all the powers of the Supreme Junta, with all the authority of its representative, in order to meet with the Generals respecting the reunion of all the divisions, the combining of operations and every thing thus disposed, to resolve upon such attacks as you may think necessary and conducive to the attainment of the so much desired object, that so soon as it occupies the nation, and that our circumstances, and the interest of the cause, will allow us to be engaged so imperiously demands. And to the end that your excellency may more easily discharge this important mission, the Junta has resolved that the marquis de Coupigni, marshall de camp, shall accompany you, conforming himself to your orders, until he joins the division under his command and likewise the brigadier de Montijo, who is also to be obedient to your orders."
"The Junta hope that the zeal and ardor of your excellency will confirm in the just conception which they entertain of your talents, and that these will be employed in attaining the object of charge, and in exciting, by all possible means, the enthusiasm and patriotism of the troops."
"The Supreme Junta inform your excellency, that the honors due to you in the character of their deputy, ought to be the same with those due to a captain-general of the army."
"Aranjuez, Oct. 18."
Palafox set out on the same or following day to the army.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his friend in Baltimore, on the evening of the 6th inst.
"Our Northern Liberty gentlemen this moment burning the hon. T. Picken in effigy—thus we progress, but God knows where such proceedings will end."
Lart diplomatique. —The paper MENTOR , which we lay before our readers from the Washington Monitor, has attracted great attention. It has indeed been avowed by the editor, as not his own position; but nothing except its being asserted to have appeared without a knowledge of its contents can shield him from inference, that it accorded with the general complexion of his opinions, or was intended to him for publication by one of the editors of his paper. The most rapid perusal would have arrested the mind upon passages, calculated to inflame disunion, intended to link our country to the "wheels of France." That Mentor was originally written in French, is too evident to be contradicted. The text is replete with gallicisms of expression, as well as of thought. Some of the former have been pointed out in the Freeman's Journal . Without the instances given in the Journal before, we beg leave to point out the following. Paragraph 2d—the indivisibility of the American Republic.
1b.—the doctrine from those gentlemen P. 3.—In the mournful expressions were made.
4. I candidly give you my choice with the latter.
5. A change over the face of the world. 1b. It is not confined, such a conduct to their subjects only.
Having thus come to a knowledge of the original language, who, is it probable, that it does it coincide with the views of France to disunite and entice us into a terrible war, between ourselves and against Britain? Are not all the sentiments expressed by the chicanery and cant of an enemy? Bonaparte? Who but such an enemy could promise so positively what he would do in a case of our joining her? Would she would revoke her edicts, make compensation, favor us with her countenance, lend us her officers and a part of her mighty obliging, monsieur! As you cannot conveniently make these offers yourself with your name affixed, you have found the best substitute by conveying your thoughts through a paper understood to the language of the executive, and to contain nothing contrary to their views and wishes. What a mighty convenient thing is, to have the same medium at court, for the diffusion of executive impressions.

which desires? But should they differ a little, how are we to discriminate the column appropriated to Talleyrand from that which belongs to the palace? ... the public are not yet prepared for this ... of a Court Gazette, some ... ought to be devised, which ... disclose the distinction to the know- ... ing ones.
"THE LAST RESOURCE." —In consequence of the anti-Americanism of the eastern democratic members, in congress, on this most infamous production—the editor of the Monitor, in a subsequent paper, makes the accedite honorabilis , as far as personal recantation could make it—how far the recantation will be supposed to include, or exculpate, the administration, that patronizes the Monitor, must be left for the judgment of a justly and deeply offended people. It is said that all the democratic members of congress, from the eastern states, have expressed their abhorrence and indignation at the appearance of such sentiments in a paper avowedly under the patronage and influence of the administration.
FROM THE MONITOR. "THE LAST RESOURCE." "The times have changed, and we must change with them. Circumstances alter cases, and there is a period in the affairs of men, when a change becomes a duty, and no mark of infamy can be attached to a conduct which is wisely calculated to save ourselves, and our devoted country from absolute ruin and degradation. It now evidently appears, beyond all contradiction, that a treasonable conspiracy has, and does exist against the constitution and indivisibility of the American republic. The majority of the members of the eastern delegation in congress, have openly asserted, that no laws passed by the general government, will be deemed obligatory by their constituents, if they should interfere with their local pursuits and advantages. They publicly consider the embargo law as a dead letter , and as Mr. Talmaidge was pleased to express it in the house of representatives on Thursday last, "the funeral is gone by." The doctrine from these gentlemen is invariably the doctrine of passive obedience and non-resistance. The cry among them is, why arm? Who is the enemy? And, with whom go to war? In the mournful expressions which were made by the middle and southern states on the murder of Pierce, and the murder of our brethren on board the Chesapeake, there were no signs of disapprobation, no marks of sympathy evidenced by the people of the east; and they have so far sold themselves for English gold, and English traffic, as to become the open abettors & friends of that vile and corruptible and corrupting nation, England."
The genius of America weeps at the sad spectacle! and the departed spirits of heroes and martyrs are ready to exclaim—ah, ungrateful people of New England! was it for this your southern brethren fought your battles and relieved your distress? was it for this so much blood and treasure have been spilt in vain. Perfidious race of mortals! ye were the first that brought war upon the land, and ye are the first to disgrace our country by returning to your old tyrannical master George the third. What is to be done? Why, I will, in a few words tell you, what men must do, when placed between two evils—we must now either turn traitors also and side with England or accommodate matters with France. I candidly give you my choice with the latter, for the following substantial reasons. First from motives of gratitude, for without the aid which we received from France we could never have obtained our independence or become a nation. Secondly, because France has done us but slight injury in comparison with England—France has neither murdered our citizens nor impressed our seamen. France, provided we will heartily and bona fide co-operate against England, then France will, at once agree to revoke her edicts and make us ample reparation for the losses we have sustained by her cruisers. France will aid us not only with her counsels, but she will essentially aid us in the supply of arms, and a suitable train of ar-
tillery. She will also aid us, if required, with some of her best officers and skilful engineers. As the crisis now is, this is the only rational choice we can make; and since the people of New England, at least on the seaboard, have turned out so base as to become tributary to old England, let the people of the middle and southern states accept of the aid of the French nation. This determination will at once make a change over the face of the world, in favor of suffering humanity. It will enable the emperor of the French to renew his plan of invasion against England. It will soon lower the tone of that haughty nation. What we offer is fair and above board, and not like traitors who have assassinated our liberties in the dark, by uniting with our deadliest foe. But such underhanded work has always been the mode of operation with Englishmen. It is not confined, such a conduct, to their subjects only, but to their kings. For the prostituted Charles 2d, after his restoration, consented to become a pensioner, while, at the same time, he was the nominal king of England. The saints of New England are willing to be attached to the union, so far as it will promote their advantage, but at the same time to be the VASSALS of George the 3d, on any terms that will benefit their interest, however contrary to principle, honor, or national independence.
MENTOR. POLISH FREEDOM. When Napoleon the Great arrived at Warsaw, flushed with his triumphs over fallen Prussia, he told the Poles that he came to give them liberty and independence. The following, which is the latest article of news from that devoted country, shews what kind of freedom he has given them.
From the Warsaw, October 21. "His majesty the king of Saxony, our sovereign, issued on the 7th of September, at his castle at Pilnitz, an organic decree of the constitution. This decree fixes the qualities necessary to enjoy political rights in the Duchy of Warsaw, to be a member of the assemblies of the nation, that is of the Diets and the Dietines; it determines the forms to be observed in the convocation and holding of assemblies; it regulates the functions of the president of the Dietines, or of the Diet; and assigns the form of the oaths to be taken before the presidents."
From the Savannah (Georgia) Museum, &c. IMPROMPTU— (Applicable to the TIMES.) PHILOSOPHY —with fervency I pray (Whilst Congress are their resolutions carrying) To let me know (at once) the cheapest way To keep myself and family from starving. I love my Country, I respect the laws, The Constitution I will ever cherish; But still, my stupid head assigns no cause, Why I should stupidly consent to perish. " 'Tis policy to live within ourselves"— How philosophic these fine speeches sounds, Philosophy must fill our pantry shelves, Instead of bacon and substantial rounds. Come, Tom, get DINNER, first and second course; Thank GOD: Philosophy has made us able To have a dish they call NON-INTERCOURSE, First cook'd in France—come sit it on the table. Place at the head EMBARGO, that's a fish (That swims majestic in every port) Well butter'd with DEBATES—Gods, what a dish! 'Tis fitting for NAPOLEON's princely court. Clear off; the second course now place in form: Resolves, and re-resolves, and some TART speeches: This done, we'll take ten drops (to keep us warm) Of home brew'd brandy, made of rotten peaches. At such a SUMPTUOUS BOARD, who would not dine? He that refuses sit him down a glutton; What signifies your old Madeira wine, Your rounds, your rumps, your pork, your lamb and mutton! A swinish set the multitude must be, To give a preference to such things as these, Rioting in flesh, in wine and glee, A Canabalian appetite to please. But stop: I may for this get a sad thumping, (The want of courage makes me sore afraid)— Or if in Baltimore, perhaps a pumping— Oh Lord—pray don't believe a word I've said— MASSA CHUSE IT.
