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 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. Quincy's Speech continued.]
The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Jackson) asked if I intended to represent this house as the dupe of the executive. Certainly I drew no conclusion of that kind. But, sir, with respect to this house, I confess I know not how to express my opinion. To my mind, it is a political non-descript. It acts, and reasons, and votes, and performs all the operations of an animated being, and yet, judging from my own perceptions, I cannot refrain from concluding that all great political questions are settled somewhere else other than on this floor. [The Speaker remarked, that it was wholly improper to make reflections on the house.] If the Speaker means that I have not a right to state facts, and leave the people to make reflections upon them, I must appeal from his decision. [The Speaker said that it was not within the rules of parliamentary proceeding to permit a gentleman on the floor to accuse the house of improper motives.] I am saying nothing about motives. In reply to a gentleman who asks how I intended to represent the house, I am only about to describe what I know concerning it, and to show how I arrived at the conclusion, that great political questions were settled somewhere else, other than on this floor. The fact to which I allude happened on the day when the enforcing embargo law passed. On that day before the house was called into a committee of the whole upon the bill, I was informed that it had been resolved somewhere, I know not where, nor by whom, that the house should be called into committee of the whole immediately upon that bill—that it was to be passed in one day through all the remaining stages; that the bill was then actually engrossed, or engrossing, and that after it was so passed a bill was to be proposed and passed for calling an extraordinary session of Congress in May next. This was stated to me, previous to going into committee of the whole on the enforcing embargo bill, as the course settled. Well, what happened? Why, agreeably to the information I had received we were immediately called into a committee of the whole, on that bill. We did pass it, through all the remaining stages, at one session, notwithstanding the multitude of its provisions, the greatness of the principle and consequences it involved. So far my previous information proved correct. It will also be recollected, that in the course of the nocturnal session on that bill, the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Smilie) did state it as his intention, to bring forward a bill for a meeting of Congress in May, and accordingly, the next day he introduced the motion, which was the foundation of the present bill. Thus again, my previous information was proved by the event accurate. The minuteness of this prophecy, and the precision of its fulfilment, satisfies my mind of the correctness of the opinion before stated, that although we debate great questions on this floor, that they are sometimes, at least, settled somewhere else. A circumstance strongly corroborative of this opinion is a fact, which happened in the debate on the motion for the committee of enquiry, which preceded this bill. The idea of a session in May, was strongly opposed by the gentleman from S. Carolina (Mr. D. R. Williams). In reply to whom, my colleague (Mr. Bacon) expressed his surprise at his opposition, and said expressly "that he had given some votes, in the understanding that there was to be an extra session in May; that, if there was not, all he could say, for one, was, that he was taken in." [Mr. Bacon said, that he meant only to be understood as having given such votes, from his own impression that there would be an extra session, and not intending to express any previous agreement.] If such were the intention of my colleague, I do not wish to avail myself of the peculiarity of the expression. At the time of his uttering it, I did consider it as a strong corroborative circumstance of the fact, that all the proceedings concerning the enforcing embargo law, and the new session had been
arranged somewhere else, previous to their being brought into debate on this floor. Indeed, how is it possible for any man to believe otherwise, when he considers, and not only the previous information received which could hardly have been so minutely fulfilled, unless such previous agreement subsisted, and also, when he considers the rapid and unexampled manner, in which it was prest through all its stages, notwithstanding all the violence of the opposition, and the solid arguments urged against its principles. While I am on this topic, I cannot refrain from observing on a remark made by the gentleman from South Carolina, (Mr. D. R. Williams). He said, the minority had no right to complain of the manner in which the enforcing embargo law was passed, inasmuch as that they had suffered it to go through the committee of the whole, without a single observation.—In reply, I must declare, that I do complain, that our privileges were abused and violated. I do maintain that it is a right, which belongs to every single member of this House to have a fair and suitable opportunity of debating every question of great national importance; that unless he has previous notice that it is the intention of the majority to deviate from the usual course of business, he has a right to choose that stage of the bill, in which he conceives his objections to it can be most forcibly urged. Upon the question of engrossment, or upon that of the final passage, he has a right to have a fair opportunity to be heard. For at these stages the great principles of the bill can be the most advantageously discussed. Now we had not such an opportunity upon either the engrossment or final passage of the enforcing embargo law. In this instance, I do not hesitate to say, that the rights of the members of this house and through them the rights of this people were grossly violated. Who could have possibly imagined that a bill of the length and importance of the enforcing embargo law, considering also the state of feeling, manifested in some parts of the country in relation to that subject, could have been permitted to go from a committee of the whole, through its final passage at one sitting? Upon that law I was extremely anxious to have expressed my sentiments. I had taken occasion when the resolution for the raising of fifty thousand volunteers was under debate, to state a constitutional objection to the previous supplementary embargo laws, to which I could find, in my mind no answer. I had hoped some gentlemen would have condescended to reply to that objection, but no notice had been taken, except by the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Eppes) who only asserted that similar powers to these, to which I had objected, had been exercised under preceding administrations. [Mr. Eppes inquired whether Mr. Quincy was in order to discuss a bill which was already passed, under a question like that now before the house. The Speaker decided that he was. Mr. Eppes appealed from the decision. Mr. D. R. Williams wished that the gentleman from Massachusetts might be permitted to go on—" (and said he) if there is not talent enough in the house to refute his arguments, in the name of God, let us stand convicted." Mr. Eppes withdrew his appeal. Mr. Gardenier asked whether it was consistent with the rules of the house that when the Speaker had decided a question of order and an appeal had been made from his decision, on the application of any gentleman, the member appealing had a right to withdraw his appeal? The Speaker said that according to usual parliamentary proceedings it was correct.]

FROM THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL.
"Passion and Madness."—The speech of Mr. Quincy unveiling what he deemed the dark and delusive policy of the administration, was entirely political and in no degree personal. It was severe but not abusive. The torrent of personal abuse with which it was attempted to overwhelm him was contrary to every principle of parliamentary decorum. Even after he had replied, in a manner at once spirited and conciliatory, and expressly disclaimed all personal allusions, except those which had been provoked in a manner so wanton that they could not be avoided, Mr. J. G. Jackson, one of the "royal cousins," instead of reciprocating the magnanimity of his opponent, burst forth in a still more furious Philippic .— Philippic , did we say—we beg pardon of all the Muses and all the Graces, for applying a term so classical to the effusions of the rude ad rustic orator from the western caverns of the Apalachian Mountains. Under the circumstances which we have mentioned, did the said Mr. Jackson talk as follows; and let any decent man of his party read what he said, reflect upon it, and then go to supper with what appetite he can.
"Mr. J. G. Jackson said he rose to notice some observations made by the gentleman from Massachusetts to-day, which were calculated to do away the highly reprehensible remarks he had made on yesterday. Yet notwithstanding the avowed object, he had indulged himself in further animadversions, and added to that feeling which had been so unjustly excited. The gentleman commenced by asking whether the ground he occupied was solid, whether it would bear the scrutinizing eye of reflection—And what was his ground, sir? It was this, that the house had acted under a deception respecting the motives of administration in recommending the embargo. Sir, I answer, that the ground is not solid; it is a quagmire in which every plunge he makes sinks him still deeper, until he is swallowed up in ignominy, exciting no compassion for his fate, and yet he complains of the severity of the style with which his remarks were treated. Sir, it was proper that so infamous a charge, coming from a quarter like that, where submission to every thing, and resistance to nothing is characteristic, should be repelled in the way it was—it was too gross a censure, too flagitious a libel to pass with impunity, notwithstanding it was uttered in this sanctuary, whose security the gentleman has carefully availed himself of, and which he interposes as a shield to his dastardly attacks. We were imposed upon, he alleges, touching the motives of administration, and were instrumental in deceiving the people; and yet tools and sycophants that we are, he will not rest until he drags us before the nation, and exposes us to its vengeance. When to all this abuse it is added, that we are caught in the toils of a narrow policy which we persist in from mere shame—that we wanted to frighten Mr. Rose—cast ourselves into the arms of Bonaparte, join the coalition against England. When such accusations are made here, and gentlemen feel wounded at the unjust imputations, I ask, sir, ought they not to inflict a little wholesome chastisement on the author, by casting the foul charges back in the teeth of him who made them? If any gentleman thinks it no insult to be accused of political imposture, avowing ostensible motives inconsistent with the real ones, I am proud to differ from him. I have this morning endeavored to show that the charges were false, and whether I have succeeded or not, I am willing to leave to others—I heartily join in the appeal to their decision. But the gentleman says, the "bearing" of his argument was not noticed by any one except his colleague. The answer of his honorable colleague was confined exclusively to the tendency of such revolutionizing, heart-burning appeals to the people, having for their object hostile opposition to the laws enacted by this government. Thus, sir, by this confession his motives are exposed to the world, for that was the "bearing" which the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Bacon) so eloquently noticed. The gentle-
man talked of "Billingsgate"—and, sir, if it does not consist in abusing the president of the U. S. under the privilege of this house, accusing him of duplicity, personal perfidy & falsehood, in what does it consist? The gentleman himself indulged in "house slang" derogatory to the dignity of the house, for the executive of this nation—such, is entitled to respect, and it is scandalous here, covered by the canopy of the constitution, to assail his reputation, accuse, condemn, and execute it in one breath. The gentleman says he shrinks not from comparison with any one. Sir, most certainly he can lose nothing on comparison with any man: notwithstanding he would gain much by comparing him with a gentleman. He has made attacks on the executive and this house which I have endeavored to prove were unfounded. A formal, deliberate, preconceived speech of two hours length was made by the member presumed solely on the basis that this house had deceived themselves, and had deceived the people, and were attempting still further to practise deception. Can the reputation of a man who does these things in times of peril, be injured by any that can be added to what himself has said? I think not. The member says, the sting of his remark is true, 'tis that that wounds, and because it he feels pity for us. Sir, I do not even feel pity for him, I feel contempt —contempt and nothing more—his remarks have no sting, sir—they cannot wound—the shafts of his malice are blunt—they will not penetrate—they fall harmless at the feet of those against whom they are pointed—they are steeped in falsehood—they have no sting, there is no truth in them."

BARBADOES
Bridge-Town, Dec. 24.—While we have been looking with solicitude to the blockade of Martinique, as collateral with other measures meditated upon it with respect to see, either "from the superior good fortune of the enemy, or by a fatality attending the efforts of our navy" the object almost frustrated. The fact in few words is—Considerable succours have been thrown into Martinique!! and this too, notwithstanding we have been long apprized that the enemy was expecting the arrival with other of the very vessel which has now eluded our vigilance and given him a supply of 2200 barrels of provisions, and a reinforcement of 200 troops. But we shall tell more in detail as we have heard it:—
The Amplitude French frigate sailed from Cherbourg on the 18th Nov. in company with the Juno and Venus (two other frigates) all with troops and provisions. On the 3d Dec. in lat. 22, the Amplitude having previously separated from her consorts, fell in with the ships Lord Cranston and Lydia, of and from Liverpool, bound to St. Kitts and St. Croix. The Lydia was immediately captured and the L. Cranston after a short but spirited resistance soon afterwards surrendered. The Amplitude having so taken a Portuguese schooner from Lisbon bound to Liverpool, which she burnt, put her crew with those of the two British vessels (amounting in all to 150 persons including three ladies passengers of the L. Cranston) on board an American brig bound to Baltimore; and having also burnt the Lydia, kept the Lord Cranston in company, with the positive instructions to the officers given in charge of her to avoid by every possible means a separation; and in the event of doing so by subsequent orders or from unavoidable accident to proceed without delay to Martinique; but any danger appearing on her arrival off that island, he was then to endeavor to get into Guadalupe,—and failing there to proceed to St. Domingo; observing, at whatever port he arrived, immediately to put this valuable prize under the especial care of the provisional governor of the place. These precautions have, however been unavailing:—the Lord Cranston parted by accident in a squall, on the night of the 17th inst. and on the 20th proceeding according to instructions to Martinique, fell in off Trinity with part of our blockading squadron, and was, we are happy to state, re-captured by the Pompee and the Fawn, and sent in here, where she arrived on Thursday.

December 27.
The facility with which the enemy continues to elude our navy adds still increased regret to that which, already, we have had but too much cause to express. We cannot but contemplate the uninterrupted success with which they daily, as it were, throws succors which his islands, without a conviction of there being either a want of judgment in the disposition of our blockading squadron, or a 100 great negligence in carrying it into effect. To one or other of these causes, or to a peculiarly favoring Providence, we can alone attribute the uninterrupted succession of arrivals at Martinique and Guadalupe, when we have been previously apprized, not merely of their being previously expected, but of their actual approach. Thus has it been with the Juno (consort with the Amphitrite) which has slipped into Guadalupe, and there as the other did at Martinique, landed both troops and provisions. Information of this is derived from Dominico, where, on Thursday last, a French cartel from Guadalupe gave the intelligence; stating that the Juno was safe in Pointe-à-Pitre, having on board 900 bbls. of provisions, a large supply of ammunition, and 200 troops.
It evidently seems, too, that other succors and supplies besides the above, and what we have before known to have been thrown into those islands, are now actually at hand, if not already arrived. The St. Christopher sloop of war, capt. Halliday, having the packet lately from hence under convoy fell in on the night of the 19th inst. with a small squadron to windward of Montserrat, the headmost of which after hailing several times without receiving an answer, she exchanged broadsides with, both pursuing their course; the enemy more intent to gain his party, than achieve a victory; and the St. Christopher, avoiding the unequal contest with so superior an adversary—the vessels (four in number) in company with the one engaged en passant also appeared to be frigates, although from the darkness of the night it could not be distinctly ascertained. It is however imagined here, that this frigate and companions de voyage are the convoy from Cherburgh, which are understood to be expected among others at Martinique; and a loose report states them to have since arrived.
Nor are these, according to reports which gain confidence by their frequent repetition, the only succors that the enemy is anxiously looking for, to rescue him from present apprehended subjugation. We now have it that Gauntlet with 12 sail of the line and 7 frigates, are actually at sea, bending their course circuitously and cautiously towards Martinique. Be it as it may, there certainly have been some late accounts transmitted here, which hastened the admiral from this anchorage. Sir Alexander Cochrane, in the Neptune, left Carlisle Bay early on Sunday, preceded the evening before by the Ulysses, ordered to sea unexpectedly on a destination not originally intended; and we understand that it is the admiral's intention to concentrate his whole force off Martinique, to meet the enemy before he shall reach his port. We look to such a encounter with confidence, having nothing to fear but in the too great superiority of numbers of the enemy; even with the advantage of which he has once already evaded the anxious sought battle. Other reports, however, diminish the strength and number of the enemy's expected squadron, and even reduce it to one three decker, and a few frigates and brigs.
The Committee of Council appointed for the relief of the Poor, give notice, that they will attend at the Council Chamber, on MONDAY next, and on every succeeding Monday during the inclement season, between the hours of 10 and 1 o'clock, for the purpose of distributing to those who stand in need.

Extract of a letter, dated Liverpool, Nov. 29, received at New-York.
"On the 26th instant an American schr. arrived here, said to be from New York, loaded with 400 bbls. turpentine and 41 bales cotton; she brought one of the owners out, who I understand is a Mr. Marshall, a Scotch gentleman; but as she is without papers, the captain of the Princess frigate seized her yesterday, and she will probably be condemned as a Droite of Admiralty, I understand the American consul has taken cognizance of this breach of the laws on his country, and that the American minister has been made acquainted with the fact—I think the schooner's name is the Jane. Be so good as to publish in the newspapers for the information of gentlemen who are disposed to evade the measures government has resorted to, that all such vessels will be seized, and that they are liable to be condemned.
Captain Little, who arrived here yesterday in 20 days from St. Kitts, informs, that intelligence was received there previous to his sailing, that the British expedition had raised the siege of Martinique, and were going to winter at Barbadoes." New York paper.
A letter was received in town yesterday from Antigua, dated the 1st of January, 1809, which states, that five French frigates had recently arrived at Martinique, and two at Guadalupe, from France, full of troops and provisions. New York paper Jan. 9.
A New Alternative.
Mr D. R. Williams, in one of his late speeches, observed that he would lay his head upon the block, and suffer it to be cut off, sooner than his country should yield to the British orders. In a still later speech, he said that he would bury every person in the country before he would submit. With all Mr. W.'s patriotism, we fear he would prefer the latter to the former. His idea of burying all his countrymen, and being left alone to resist the outrages of Britain, reminds us of the man who wished that all the rest of the world were dead, that he might keep tavern without a competitor. Freemans Journal.
The editor of the El Misisipi , a Spanish paper, printed at New Orleans, makes the following observations on Bonaparte's constitution for Spain.
"We do not think it worth while to publish the new constitution of Spain, because it appears too ridiculous to hear scoundrels talking about equity, usurpers about justice, tyrants about clemency, and liars about truth. The commencement is sufficient to disgust any one—"Joseph Napoleon by the grace of God, king of Spain and the Indies." Of what God? Say rather by the frauds, robberies and crimes of his brother—by the weakness of Charles—by the credulity of Ferdinand, and the vile parasites that surrounded and betrayed him, or by the ridiculous coronation of the officious Bishop of Burgos.
"We shall publish in lieu of this constitution an account of the glorious battles which the patriots of Spain have fought and won; and should they continue to be successful (which we ardently desire) this celebrated constitution may be returned to the "pigeon hole" from which it was probably taken, whilst regenerated Spain, with the religion and the laws of her ancestors will again take her high rank among the independent nations of the world covered with fame and glory."
Major CARTWRIGHT speaking of "the contest of the government," (as Mr. Jefferson quaintly terms it) between the people of Spain and the murderer of the Duke D'Enghein, and the swindler of Ferdinand 7th says—"While warring only with brother despots, the Corsican seems the very enchanter of romance. He smites the pompous machinery of his foe, it is shivered to fragments, and he marches onward, as tho'
none had opposed him. But the moment he meets armed freedom, he is constrained to halt, his enchantments fail, and victory, under whose guidance he had been the scourge of tyrants, now waves the banner of liberty in hostility, his legions are given to the edge of the sword, or to captivity, and himself to shame and anguish of soul; those very legions which had mowed down as stubble the regular defenders of despotic thrones, become themselves stubble to embattled patriots."
Extract from an able and spirited pamphlet on the present state of our affairs, called " Cursory Sketches ." It abounds with lucid remarks and plain truth, couched in vigorous language. It is calculated to arouse that fervent and patriotic spirit, so necessary to deter our administration from their headlong and ruinous schemes. The rulers of a free people have always been obliged to accommodate themselves to the general voice—So be it:
"IN addition to the testimony exhibited, let me ask my fellow citizens, to what other motive than love of France are we to ascribe the presidential conduct towards Spain? a nation the first in Europe, who took us by the hand in our contest for independence,* always a kind neighbor, until reduced to French vassalage; and what is infinitely more important, exhibiting on the great theatre of the world, the most affecting spectacle that ever was presented to mortal view, and claiming by the most noble, and to freemen the most endearing ties, the assistance of the human race, to uphold her in her mighty battle. Where was ever oppression so severe? Where was ever perfidy so perfidious? Where were ever the rights of God and man so insolently, so cruelly invaded? And where, let me ask, (with pride I ask it) did ever the oppressed exhibit, under such demand for vengeance, like beneficence to the vanquished?"
"On so interesting an event to the cause of freedom, it is natural to suppose that the chief of a nation of freemen would have taken pleasure in testifying by every proper evidence, his solicitude for the success of twelve millions of men, fighting for every thing dear to humanity; and that the restoration of commercial intercourse with oppressed Spain, could not fail to present itself to his mind, with all the force it so justly derives from kindred feelings and true policy. This presumption is fortified by the recollection of his readiness to involve his own country in war during Washington's administration, lest the murderers of Louis XVI. his wife and family, with all the good and virtuous of that ill fated country, should be arrested in their cannibal career. But alas! the gallant maltreated Spaniard has dared to lift his sabre against his imperial and royal majesty!
"He shuts his ears to the revival of commercial intercourse, lest our surplus provisions might be wafted to the ill supplied camps of the enemies of France; he shuts his eyes to the tragical scenes of the French soldiery, throughout their peaceful deluded country; and he becomes indignant, when oppression having reached its acme, the oppressed, with one heart and one hand, turn upon the rude despoiler. Why? Because hated Britain prospers in proportion as Europe regains her pristine independence.
"Noble Spain! glorious Spaniards!—purpled is thy soil by the innocent blood of its own children; that of the proud conqueror, brought low, flows only in open battle. The instant your victorious bands return the sword to its scabbard, clemency presides; and the wounds inflicted by your heroes in self defence are closed with balm and honey. Go on mighty nation, continue to be as merciful as you are brave; the honorable and virtuous of the human race will take a deep interest in the vicissitudes of your fortune; while their prayers will be offered with fervor and humility to the Almighty Ruler of the universe to pour upon you the continual dew of his blessings."
It is not meant that Spain was the first to acknowledge our independence; but she and Portugal preceded France in doing some very kind acts.
For the Alexandria Daily Gazette . TO OLENIA.
OLENIA! With thy lover seek, Some fragrant shade where woodbines weep, And all-blown roses, blushing deep, Droop as with love; Then let me on thy bosom lie, And ew thy soft and azure eye, Inhale the fragrance of thy sigh, And melt in love: Entwine me in thy flaxen hair, And lie in thrilling transport's there, Tell me of the joys so dear To those that love,—
Whilst in their arms enamour'd lying, With extatic pleasures dying, In thine ear impassion'd sighing, Tales of love; Thus entranc'd in mutual bliss, Dear Olenia! vow me this, Vow, and seal it with a kiss, Eternal love. ASTOLPHO.
HOPE. From the Oratorio of the Captivity . The wretch condemn'd with life to part, Still, still, on hope relies; And ev'ry pang that rends the heart, Bids expectation rise.
Hope, like the glimm'ring taper's light, Adorns and cheers the way; And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray.
