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, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discomfit those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be a moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

ADMIRALTY OFFICE, Sept. 16.
Capt. Halstead, first captain to the squadron under the command of admiral sir Charles Cotton, bart. commander in chief of his majesty's ships and vessels on the coast of Portugal, arrived yesterday at this office, with dispatches from the admiral to the hon. W. W. Pole, of which the following are copies:
Hibernia, off the Tagus, Sept. 3, 1808.
SIR,
Inclosed herewith, for the information of the lords commissioners of the admiralty, is a copy of a convention* entered into by lieut. col. Murray and gen. Kellermann, for the evacuation of Portugal by the French army; such convention having been ratified by lieut. gen. sir Hugh Dalrymple, myself, and the French commander in chief. British troops, consisting of the 2d and 42d regiments, were on the 2d inst. landed, to occupy the forts of Cascais, St. Antonio, St. Julien, and the Bugio, and no time shall be lost to embark the French troops, agreeably to the said convention. Captain Halstead, first captain of the ship, and captain of the fleet, who is the bearer of dispatches to their lordships, respecting the Russian squadron in the Tagus, is in full possession of my confidence, and will be able to explain to their lordships the motives inducing me to ratify the convention in question, as well as give any further information that may be thought necessary.
I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed) C. COTTON.
Hon. W. W. POLE, &c. &c. &c.
* A copy of the convention enclosed in the letter from Sir Hugh Dalrymple.
Hibernia, off the Tagus, Sept. 4th, 1808.
SIR,
Herewith I have the honor to enclose to you, for the information of the lords commissioners of the admiralty, a copy of a convention entered into by me, with Vice-Admiral Seniavin, commanding the Russian fleet in the Tagus; by which it will appear to their lordships that such fleet has been surrendered to me, to be held by his majesty as a deposit, until six months after the conclusion of a peace between Russia and England.
I have charged Captain Halstead, first captain of the Hibernia , and captain of the fleet, with the delivery of this dispatch to their lordships; he was sent by me to negotiate the convention with Vice-Admiral Seniavin, and will be able to explain every particular.
To Captain Halstead I feel greatly indebted for his able advice and assistance upon all points of service, his zeal and diligence have been exemplary, and entitle him to my highest commendation.
Rear-Admiral Tyler has been directed to superintend the first division of the Russian fleet, which I purpose ordering under his protection immediately to Spithead; to him (since with me) I have been indebted for every assistance, and to the captains, officers and crews of those ships that have been employed throughout a tediously protracted blockade (by whom every exertion has been made with a degree of cheerfulness doing them infinite honor). I feel extremely grateful, and deem it my duty to offer every possible testimony of my approbation in their favor.
I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed) C. COTTON.
ARTICLES of a CONVENTION entered into between Vice-Admiral Seniavin Knight of the Order of St. Alexander, and other Russian orders, and Admiral Sir Charles Cotton, Baronet for the surrender of the Russian fleet now anchored in the river Tagus.
ART. I. The ships of war of the emperor of Russia now in the Tagus, as specified in the annexed list, shall be delivered up to Admiral Sir Charles Cotton, immediately, with all their stores as they now are; to be sent to England, and there held as a deposit by his Britannic Majesty, to be restored to his Imperial majesty, within six months after the conclusion of a peace between his
Britannic majesty and his Imperial majesty the Emperor of all the Russias.
II. Vice Admiral Seniavin, with the officers, sailors and marines, under his command, to return to Russia without any condition or stipulation respecting their future services; to be conveyed there in men of war, or proper vessels, at the expence of his Britannic majesty.
Done and concluded on board the ship Twerdy , in the Tagus, and on board his Britannic majesty's ship Hibernia , off the mouth of that river, the 3d day of September, 1808.

ADMIRALTY OFFICE, Aug. 23.
Dispatches, of which the following are copies, have been this day received at this office from rear admiral Keats, addressed to the honorable William Wellesley Pole:
Superb, off Spree in the Great Belt, August 13.
SIR,
I have the honor herewith to transmit a copy of my letters to vice ad. sir James Saumarez, relative to the escape and embarkation of great part of the Spanish army serving in this part of Europe. An event produced as well by the honor, patriotism, and talents of its distinguished chief, as by the assistance and protection which I was directed by their lordships orders to afford it.
If the weather proves moderate, I hope to disembark the greater part on the island of Langeland this day, where we have already a post of 2,500 men.
I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed)
G. R. KEATS.
To the hon. W. W. Pole, Sec'y. &c. &c.
Superb, off Spree in the Great Belt, August 11.
SIR,
I have the honor and satisfaction to inform you, that by an immediate and zealous pursuit of the measures recommended in the duplicate of instructions received by the Musquito on the 5th inst. his excellency the marquis de la Romano, and nearly 6,000 of the Spanish troops at his command, were embarked this morning at Nyborg, which place he took possession of on the 9th.
By a combination of the same plan, more than 1,000 have joined us this morning, by sea, from Jutland, and 1,000 are thrown into Langeland, to strengthen the post held by the Spanish force in that island, where it is proposed to land the remainder the moment circumstances of weather will permit of our moving. The arrival of the Spanish officer in the Edgar , on the 5th, of whose spirited escape to the squadron you were informed by captain Graves, greatly facilitated our means of communication.
No doubt could be entertained of the honor and patriotism of soldiers, who, indignant at the proposal of deserting their allegiance, though surrounded by hostile battalions, planted their colors in the centre of a circle they formed, and swore on their knees to be faithful to their country. All were equally anxious of returning to it.—But one regiment in Jutland was too distant and too critically situated to effect its escape; and two in Zealand, after having fired on the French general Frison, who commanded them, and killed one of his aid-de-camps, have been disarmed.
Some untoward circumstances having occasioned suspicion, and made a premature execution of the plan necessary, the wind and current being adverse, I left the Superb on the 8th, and went into my barge to the Brunswick off Nyborg, and two hours after my flag was hoisted. On the 9th, the general took possession of the town.
Although the Danish garrison yielded to circumstances, an armed brig of 18 guns, the Fama , and a cutter, the Salorman , of 12 moored across the harbor near the town, rejected all remonstrance on the part of the Danes, and every offer of security made by the general and myself. The reduction of these vessels being absolutely necessary, and the Spanish general unwilling to act hostily against Denmark, such small vessels and boats as could be collected were put under the command of captain M c Namara, of the Edgar , who attacked and took them. On this occasion, I have to lament the loss of lieut. Harvey, an officer of much merit of the Superb , and two seamen wounded; the enemy had seven killed and thirteen wounded.
I should have noticed that the Spaniards, irritated at the opposition their friends who came to their support met with, departed in some measure from the general's intention, and fired some shot at them before they struck.
Expedition being deemed of the greatest importance, I shifted my flag to the Hound in the harbor; and as neither of the 3 ships of the line, from circumstances of the weather, could be brought near in, 57 sloops or doggers, found in the port, were fitted by the seamen, into which great part of the artillery, baggage and stores, were embarked that night and the following day, and removed to the point of Slipshavn, four miles from Nyborg, where the army was embarked safely and without opposition this morning, notwithstanding the very unfavorable state of the weather, and they are now under the protection of his majesty's ships at the anchorage off the island of Saroe.
Some sacrifices of horses and stores were conceived necessary by the general; and as I considered it right, under the peculiar circumstances, to enter into the views and wishes of the Marquis de la Romano, every unavoidable act of hostility was rigidly abstained from, for I did not consider it any to bring away the brig and cutter that rejected our offer of security, and forcibly opposed our entrance into the port; and I even undertook to liberate the vessels employed as transports, provided no interruption was made by any to the peaceable embarkation of our friends.
I should be unjust to the meritorious exertions of the officers and seamen employed on this short but fatiguing service, if I neglected to represent their merits on this occasion to you. Captain Grave's services were afloat; Captain M c Namara, of the Edgar , undertook the equipment of the transports, with the embarkation of the stores; the embarkation of the troops was made under the direction of Captain Jackson, of the Superb , and Captain Lockyer, of the Hound , Captain Smith, of the Devastation , and Captain James, of the Kite , were indefatigable in their exertions in the various duties I assigned them. Many circumstances having combined to make an attack on the rear probable, great precaution was necessary.
Such guns as could be brought against us were spiked, and the embarkation was covered and most effectually protected by the Minx gun brig and the two prizes, and by the very judicious disposition of the gun-boats, under the command of Capt. May, of the royal artillery, who volunteered, and whose services on this and other occasions, were highly useful.
It is not easy to express the joy, and satisfaction felt by every class of the army at this event; and no circumstance, I believe, could have afforded more real pleasure to us all. One, the regiment of Zamora, had made a march of 18 Danish miles in twenty-one hours.
I transmit herewith for your further information, copies of such letters as I deemed it requisite to address to his excellency the Marquis de la Romano and the governor of Nyborg on this occasion. The replies to the former were verbal through a confidential officer, and the latter were made verbally.
I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed)
G. R. KEATS.

Sir James Saumarez, &c. &c.
NOTE. —Since this letter was concluded, we entertain some hopes that part of the regiment in Jutland, we thought lost, has escaped to the post at Langeland by the western channel.
Superb, off Langeland, Aug. 13.
SIR,
I have detained the Euryalus a few hours for the further satisfaction of assuring their lordships that the Spanish troops taken off by his majesty's ships at Nyborg, will be landed in the course of this afternoon at Langeland.
A convention has been entered into between his excellency the Marquis de la Romano and the governor of the island, which
on one hand, enjoins abstinence from hostility, and on the other a sufficient supply of provisions, provided the island, which is fertile, can produce it.
I am, Sir, &c.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28.
Extract from a letter of the house of John Bulkley and Son, late of Lisbon, dated London, Aug. 1 1808, received in Philadelphia.
"We are induced from the favorable prospects of political affairs in Portugal and Spain, to turn our serious attention to the resuming our old establishment in Lisbon; and when it can be done with prudence, and the return of British subjects to that city can be effected with safety, we shall take the earliest opportunity to communicate the same to our friends in the United States and to solicit a continuance of their valuable friendship and favors."
Extract of a letter, received at Philadelphia, dated
HALIFAX, Oct. 11 1808.
"A vessel returned a few days ago from Cape Francois, St. Domingo, which port appears to be in the hands of Christophe, who assumed an arbitrary power in the disposal of the cargo of this vessel, and purchased himself for the use of his troops at his own prices, and gave in exchange produce on similar equitable terms, which circumstance has occasioned to the owners but a poor speculation, their expenses not being covered. The mulatto Gen. Petion, at the other side of the island, shows a very different conduct towards our vessels—decided preference will in future be given to the latter, by the merchants of this place."
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
[Communicated for the Philadelphia Gazette.] LIVERPOOL, September 17.
"Since ours of the 21st, a most rapid rise has taken place in cotton, which commenced the evening of that day, and it has frequently occurred that there has been a difference of 3d per pound between the prices of the morning and evening. Yesterday the arrival of the August Packet , with advice that there is no probability of the embargo being taken off, gave another spirit. 3s. was given for new uplands, and that price refused for 300 bales. New Orleans cottons have nominally advanced in proportion; say 2s 10d a 3s 1d. but the attention seems completely directed to Georgias. At a sale yesterday, Surinams only sold 2s 1d a 3s 2 1/4d. and Sea Islands are 3s to 4s but prices may be considered as advancing, and it is not improbable may increase in the course of this day. The advance has been principally owing to speculation, in which all ranks of people in this town have embarked. The trade are fearful of giving prices going, and cotton has been sent from the manufacturing towns here for sale. For some time the principal part of the cotton has been turned over into different hands in this town, and very small proportion of the

gone to actual consummation. Many persons are of opinion that the cotton in the country is not sufficient for two months consumption; whether this is the case appears to us doubtful, and we apprehend sufficient will be found, at least for some time, in the speculators' hands. The prices of goods advanced, but not in proportion. The ports of Holland have been opened to the exportation of sundry articles to this country; this is considered a most extraordinary measure, but it appears doubtful whether it will be permitted unless the imports from hence are also admitted. Indeed it is understood a rigorous blockade is ordered. Wheat has been brisk this week, and considerable sales made at 14s supposed price arising from government contracts; other higher prices demanded by some of the holders, and we have just heard of 14s being given for old wheat. U. S. 5 1-2s has been refused for 100 bales Georgia upland cotton.
On the news of War with France, copied from the N. York Evening Post in our last, we forbore to make any comment. The following we have received from a correspondent. [Wash. Fed.] "This account cannot be true. Mr. Maury, the consul at Liverpool, had already employed captain Odiorne to bring dispatches to America. While he is beating about the harbor, Mr. Maury sends his clerk on board in a hired boat to inform him that he had just arrived from London with the account that France had declared war against the United States, and to advise him to return to port, to insure against the war risk. Now, Mr. Maury must have known that the captain's risk was not at all increased by a declaration of war, by France—His vessel was before liable to capture by the French, for having been in an English port. To this part of the story then, no credit can be given, unless we are to suppose Mr. Maury, our consul, infinitely more ignorant of what is passing in the world, than old women in it, which is very far from being the case. Besides, would not Mr. Maury have thought it worth while to have given a line to our government on so important an event. There is not even the semblance of probability in the tale."
"For whom should Bonaparte declare war against us? He was already making all the preparations to take us in his power upon us, and we were making no resistance but submitting to him in christian patience. It was certainly better for him, we should still submit—a declaration of war could not enlarge his power to do us mischief, but would bring into operation our means of resistance.—Now the story in what light we please—it is equally incredible; unless we suppose he had of all the people in the United States Mr. Jefferson, and supposed we should yield the moment he declared his hostility; or unless we suppose him so ignorant of the American character as to believe his declaration of war would frighten us into a submission in the power of directing our affairs, the main thing at his name, and ready to submit to all his mandates. "It were perhaps to be wished, that the account was true—for France is actually at war with us, and is doing us all the injury she can without declaring war—a positive declaration on her part, without changing her situation for the worse, would open the eyes of the very blind to our true situation—and while she profits so much by our submission, she will continue her hostilities, nothing can bring her to reason, but shewing her that we are both willing, and able, to inflict greater injuries than we receive."
We are indebted (says Poulton's American Daily Advertiser) to a respectable friend for the following:
CIRCULAR. LIVERPOOL, August 31, 1803. SIR, The H. F. has arrived with dispatches from your government, & sailed for France. The intelligence by this vessel and the July Packet entirely does away with the hopes at one time entertained, that the information by the Osage would produce some relaxation in the embargo. We are (as appears the case with you) completely in the dark, as to the state of negotiations; but we apprehend, if the discontinuance of the Embargo, depends upon that of the Blockade orders in council, there is not the smallest hope as long as the decrees of France remain in force, that the measure will even be taken into consideration. The embargo has been less felt in this country than could have been expected; it has principally operated upon individuals by the detention of their funds. The trade to Spain, Portugal, and the Brazils, has opened a fine field for our manufactures and our commerce, and there are hopes that it will be extended,
by intercourse with the Spanish Colonies.—If the measure of embargo is much longer persisted in, the capital and views of this country, which have been directed to the American trade, will be diverted into other channels, and by exertions, supplies of the articles usually drawn from America, will be obtained from other quarters. The value of British shipping has increased rapidly, and vessels which have long laid idle, now find useful and profitable employment at enormous freights.
America must suffer more than this country, and we should suppose this will be increased, when (as will shortly be the case) you have two crops on hand. We cannot avoid entertaining the idea, that these circumstances aided by the recent political events in Europe, will have their weight with your government, and produce some alteration in their opinion toward ours. The answers given to the American Merchants relative to the removal of the blockade of Spain, clearly evince the measures of this government to be solely directed against France, in retaliation, and to have no hostile view to yours; and the increase of duty on cotton, lumber, &c. which was lower from yours than any other nation, is only now put on the same footing as others. The superior advantages you had, having ceased through the expiration of the old treaty and the rejection of the new.
American produce, in general, rules at high prices, and we should forward you a Price Current, but they merely affect immediate holders, and ought not to be taken into consideration on re-opening of communication. The probability is whenever that event does take place, that the markets will be nearly stagnant; circumstances may occur to give a vivacity to trade, but saddled with the weight of produce which must shortly be on hand with you, we must expect a severe glut when it is thrown in, and very little can be calculated upon from the vessels which may first arrive. The low and depressed prices with you may have induced speculation, but whenever the Export does open, we should recommend your rather realizing a profit in America, than risking it to the European markets, where nothing should induce shipments but the low prices at which they have been laid in.—From the quotations we have had of Cotton and Wheat they appear the most eligible articles—Money cannot well be lost but we think the greatest profit will be on your side the water.
The cotton market has taken a further advance, in consequence of the expectation of a long deprivation of imports from America; 2s. 1d. has been given for 150 bales of new Upland cotton; a few choice New Orleans 2. 2d. a 2s. 5d.; Demararas, 2s. 4d. a 2s. 7d.; and two bales Sea Islands as high as 4s.; the inferior qualities of Uplands, N. Orleans and Demararas 1d. to 2d. lower, and hopes are entertained of a further advance. The supplies of cotton in importers hands are completely reduced, but it is not exactly ascertained what the speculators hold, and there are some parcels which have been on hand for years. The Brazil trade, for the present, must centre in this country; several vessels are already arrived in British ports, and more expected. France has drawn a great portion of her supplies of cotton from thence through Portugal, but the whole must come here now, and though in some cases it cannot be exactly employed for the same uses as American cottons, it will interfere, and can be laid down fully as low in proportion.
Our harvest has been upon the whole abundant. Wheat is heavy at 12s. a 12s. 6d. Heavy rains have done some injury to the crops, principally on rich ground, through their luxuriance; but we apprehend the increase upon that of inferior quality will compensate for any other deficiency: and the crops of potatoes have lately materially improved, that we have not much to dread for want of foreign supplies at present.
You will see with some interest the progress of the Patriots in Spain: the province of Biscay has declared in their favor, and our government has succeeded in rescuing upwards of 10,000 Spanish troops from the command of France, in the North of Europe, who will be shortly restored to the services of their country. This is doubly important, as it must spread a conviction on the continent, that the accounts from Spain, over which France has thrown a veil, have been correct. It is rumored and believed, that Austria is on the eve of war with France; and though expectations have been formed, that the example of Spain, in throwing off the French yoke, would be followed by other nations, nothing yet has transpired which can induce the belief, that any such event is immediately probable.
The sale of West India produce is heavy and depressed; the stocks have been considerably increased by the arrival of the late fleets. An opening to the continent is the
only thing we can look to for material relief, and as the articles are much wanted there, we may hope in that event prices will advance.
Premiums of insurance continue moderate: American risks, 3 to 3 1-2 guineas per cent. We are respectfully, sir, Your obedient servants, GREEN & WAINERIGHT.
Mr. Jefferson denounced.—The Baltimore Whig, a violent democratic paper, has denounced Mr. Jefferson in the following emphatic language:
"The hiss at the public dinner in London shews how completely we are hated and despised. MEANNESS ALWAYS BEGETS CONTEMPT."
This denunciation, so strange as it may appear, originated in the Whig, and has been actually adopted in the Aurora. These democrats are cunning fellows. They always exceed the federalists in the severity of their denunciations. We challenge the whole list of federal editors from St. Croix to St. Marv's to exhibit any three lines, in which the official conduct of Mr. Jefferson, and its corresponding effects, are so concisely and energetically characterised as in the above.
(N. Y. Com. Ad.)
"Meanness always begets contempt" say the Whig and Aurora, in allusion to the conduct of Jefferson. Now, as for ourselves, we frankly acknowledge, we cannot keep pace with these fellows. Their language seems to convey their entire approbation of the London hissing frolic. On the contrary, however mean, however aptly calculated to "beget contempt," may have been the conduct of Mr. Jefferson, yet the manifest want of dignity and decorum as to the time and manner in which that contempt was exhibited, we can never bring our feelings to approve.
It is strongly to be hoped, that the dear friends of Mr. Jefferson, will not (like the equally dear friends of gov. McKean, and gov. Lewis, and gov. Clinton, and the mayor of New York, and alderman Mott, and a long list of democratic worthies) compel the honest federalists to espouse his cause and vindicate his reputation. Since he is evidently drawing near to the close of his public career—in the name of pity let not Jefferson too descend into the tomb of private life covered with the ungrateful and malignant slanders of his once faithful and favorite partisans.
Ye builders up and pullers down of political character—cease to disturb his expiring moments. Let him depart in peace. Let at least this one of the illustrious leaders whom you once delighted to honor, escape the deleterious venom of your calumniating efforts. [Ibid.]
The breeding stock of the late Sir George Strickland, of Beynton, (England) has recently been sold at auction for 9,000 dollars—one cow sold for 484, and another 13 years old for 190 dls. After the sale, a bull, belonging to Mr. Coats, sold for the enormous sum of 2,838 dollars.
By order of the Secretary of the Navy, a Court of Enquiry has been held at the Navy-yard, New-York, upon the conduct of Lieut. Renshaw, in consequence of a protest published by Captain Petty, in the New-York papers. After due examination of the witnesses, it appeared, there was no ground of complaint, and that Lieutenant Renshaw had acted in a manner justifiable and proper. Phil. paper.
By a gentleman who came passenger in the Telegraph, Captain Barker, arrived at Newport, from Rio Janeiro, Brazils, information has been received, that Lord Strangford, the British ambassador to the Emperor of Brazils, (late Prince Regent of Portugal) had arrived there, that the convoys bound to India and the Cape of Good Hope, had touched there, that a camp had been formed for 40,000 British and Portuguese, to be commanded by the Count de Arcos, their destination then supposed to be against the Spanish settlements—They had not heard in Brazils of the new order of things in Europe, in which the Spanish, English and Portuguese are united like a band of brothers—That the Spaniards in Brazils had been arrested, and sent to the River of Plate, among whom was Liniers, a brother of the hero of Buenos Ayres—That the British naval force in Brazils consisted of six sail of the line besides frigates, under Sir Sydney Smith—The following are the ships—Foudroyant, 80, London 98; Marlborough, 74, Monarch, 74, Bedford 74, Agamemnon 64—the Surveillante, Pendant, & Constance, are among the frigates—And, that the duties paid at Rio Janeiro, are 24 per cent, ad valorem, on imports; none on exports.
