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 disconcert those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths."

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.

FROM THE N. Y. COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER
PASSING along the street some time ago, I observed written on the wall in many places in large characters "WAR WITH ENGLAND." Shortly after passing the same way I could not but notice, that on the opposite side was written in similar characters, "WAR WITH FRANCE." The circumstance, though not altogether novel in its kind, called up a variety of reflections on the political state of our country; and upon the causes which have been gradually operating to introduce it. One thing pretty obviously to be deduced, as a general conclusion, was that the populace were well convinced, we ought rather to be at war with some nation, thereby vindicating our national spirit, than thus to be cooped up through a degenerate timidity, under a perpetual embargo.
These, and the like demonstrations of public opinion, although not evincive of the most perfect state of domestic happiness, are certainly entitled to some attention. In the particular case I have mentioned, I viewed this publication of street-policy, whether we considered the one side or the other, as a direct censure upon the administration of our government. Those, who chalk up "War with England" declare in direct terms, that we have submitted in regard to that nation, farther than independence, and a just sense of republican policy would justify. Those, on the other hand, who declare "War with France," seem to have a sense of pusillanimous submission to the terms prescribed by Napoleon. Whether either, or which is right, or whether there is not too much reason for both conclusions, are questions, on which there might be much speculation; and on which we should find a variety of opinions. At any rate, what might be said on the subject would principally pass off in censure upon the leaders of our cabinet, if we may be said to have any: while the remedy for our present embarrassments would be found difficult; and that only to be applied by a steady adherence to one particular course.
But there is another reflection that struck me from the above recited mode of declaring war, that is, the origin of the bias of each party amongst us; and its tendency as relates to the future administration of our government. There are undoubtedly foreign attachments exhibited on both sides, to be justified only as they may be more or less strong; or more or less coincident with the spirit of true freedom. All attachments to foreign nations are pernicious. On the one hand, our president, and our president elect, for so I have considered Mr. Madison since the caucus held at Washington under the vulgar and immoral Bradley, being French citizens, no doubt feel all the partiality common to little minds on the reception of a supposed honor from the great nation: but which a good man would spurn as the greatest indignity. On the other hand, the many English merchants in this country, and the partiality naturally created by obvious interest, lead a part of the community imperceptibly to espouse the interest of Great Britain with a zeal, which carries them beyond the line prescribed by patriotic policy. What! Shall a hobby-horsical attachment to titles, and honors, and ribbons, make the country mad, as they do some weak men of presidential and senatorial rank? What! Must the American people lose their independence, because men, the idols of the vulgar, the scorn of the wise, happen, by the craft of a nation aiming at universal dominion, to be dubbed honorary citizens?
Stuck o'er with titles, and hung round with strings, That thou may'st be by kings, or whores of kings.
The prejudice in favor of France, then, arose with the progress of our revolution; the prejudice against England arose with the same. To the wise, who are not so numerous, as patriots aiming at a long life for their country's liberties could wish, it was enough that France, was making sport of liberty, to wear them from a casual and preposterous attachment. To the same class of men it was enough, that Great-Britain had sheathed the sword drawn against us, and employed it against the enemies of well ordered society.
I remember, that at the time of the adoption of our constitution, when I was not so far advanced in life as to arrogate much political foresight, I was astonished that certain persons opposed that instrument, because it bore too much resemblance to that of England; and therefore declaimed against it, as pernicious. I asked the reason of such opinions, which appeared to me contradicted by the most superficial information: and was laconically told by an old man, whose name will long be respected, that it would be a century before any such persons, as were descended in a right line from such as lived within twenty miles of the march of the British army during our unhappy war, would become discontented to any rational form of government; because such a government must more or less resemble the English. At first I did not understand it. Every one, I thought, would forget former animosity; and only wish to select for our government such principles as were truly excellent, from whatever source derived. Time soon convinced me of the wisdom of this old gentleman's remark. The prevailing reverence for Washington a little while restrained the tongue of clamor; but that very prejudice, derived from the principle alluded to in the above cited observation, was seized upon to overwhelm the well acquired fame of that hero; and of his successor who trod in his footsteps. The same prejudice is the chief instrument in the hands of the jacobin Duane, and the incendiary "Franklin," who pours his venom through that sewer, the "Public Advertiser," for destroying the efforts of all good men, to assuage our passions, and lead us in the way of national prosperity. In every Aurora, one may find testimony against the first of these writers; against the second, it might be supposed nothing was needed but to read this, published in the "Public Advertiser," of 6th September, on the subject of the glorious struggle the Spaniards are making for their independence. "I conclude," says this degenerate "Franklin," "that Bonaparte is an instrument in the hand of the Deity, to take national vengeance for the national sins of the Spanish government." Nothing can more palpably evince our alarming state, than that the prejudices of our administration are equally vulgar; and equally at variance with a common regard to our independence. As a proof of this, Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison are both patrons of the beforementioned papers; and the same papers are vocal props to the fame of Mr. Jefferson, the President, and Mr. Madison, the President elect, notwithstanding they are both French citizens.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHINGTON.
TUESDAY, November 8.
In consequence of the letters for the mail being removed hence at 12 o'clock, it will be out of my power to give you much information until the next day. The house have done nothing this morning except pass a resolution for the appointment of two chaplains and another for the appointment of the usual standing committees; and read a letter from the legislature of the Mississippi territory soliciting a postponement of the time of payment for their lands. The latter was committed to the committee on public lands.
Public anxiety is on tip-toe for the message which is now instantly expected. I fear I cannot keep my letter open long enough to tell you its leading features: but it is expected to open the war-whoop.
12 o'clock. Two messages, one public, one private, are this moment received. The public one is now reading, I know not its nature.
WASHINGTON, CITY, November 5.
THIS DAY at 12 o'clock, the President of the United States communicated by Mr. Coles his Secretary, the following MESSAGE to both houses of Congress.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
IT would have been a source, fellow-citizens, of much gratification, if our last communications from Europe had enabled me to inform you, that the belligerent nations, whose disregard of neutral rights has been so destructive to our commerce, had become awakened to the duty and true policy of revoking their unrighteous edicts. That no means might be omitted to produce this salutary effect, I lost no time in availing myself of the act authorising a suspension, in whole or in part, of the several embargo laws. Our ministers at London and Paris were instructed to explain to the respective governments there, our disposition to exercise the authority in such manner as would withdraw the pretext on which the aggressions were originally founded, and open the way for a renewal of that commercial intercourse which it was alleged on all sides had been reluctantly obstructed. As each of those governments had pledged its readiness to concur in renouncing a measure which reached its adversary through the incontestable rights of neutrals only, and as the measure had been assumed by each as a retaliation for an asserted acquiescence in the aggressions of the other, it was reasonably expected that the occasion would have been seized by both for evincing the sincerity of their professions, and for restoring to the commerce of the United States its legitimate freedom. The instructions to our ministers with respect to the different belligerents were necessarily modified with a reference to their different circumstances, and to the condition annexed by law to the executive power of suspension requiring a degree of security to our commerce which would not result from a repeal of the decrees of France. Instead of a pledge therefore of a suspension of the embargo as to her in case of such repeal, it was presumed that a sufficient inducement might be found in other considerations, and particularly in the change produced by a compliance with our just demands by one belligerent, and a refusal by the other, in the relations between this other and the U. States. To Great Britain, whose power on the ocean is so ascendant, it was deemed not inconsistent with that condition, to state explicitly, that on her rescinding her orders in relation to the U. States their trade would be opened with her, and remain shut to her enemy, in case of his failure to rescind his decrees also. From France no answer has been received, nor any indication that the requisite change in her decrees is contemplated. The favorable reception of the proposition to Great Britain was the less to be doubted as her orders of council had not only been referred for their vindication to an acquiescence on the part of the U. States no longer to be pretended, but as the arrangement proposed, whilst it resisted the illegal decrees of France involved moreover substantially, the precise advantages professedly aimed at by the British orders. The arrangement has nevertheless been rejected.
This candid and liberal experiment having thus failed, and no other event having occurred on which a suspension of the embargo by the executive was au-
thorised, it necessarily remains in the extent originally given to it. We are the satisfaction, however, to reflect that in the turn for the privations imposed by the measure, and which our fellow-citizens in general have borne with patriotism, it has had the important effects of saving our mariners and our vast mercantile property, as well as of affording time for prosecuting the defensive and provisional measures called for by the occasion. It has demonstrated to foreign nations the moderation and firmness which govern our councils, and to our citizens the necessity of uniting in support of the laws and the rights of their country; and has thus long frustrated those usurpations and spoliations which, if resisted, involved war, if submitted to, sacrificed a vital principle of our national independence.
Under a continuance of the belligerent measures, which in defiance of laws which consecrate the rights of neutrals overspread the ocean with danger, it will rest with the wisdom of Congress to decide on the course best adapted to such a state of things; and bringing with them, as they do, from every part of the union, the sentiments of our constituents, my confidence is strengthened that in forming this decision, they will, with an unerring regard to the essential rights and interests of the nation, weigh and compare the painful alternatives out of which a choice is to be made. Nor should I do justice to the virtues which on other occasions have marked the character of our fellow citizens, if I did not cherish an equal confidence, that the alternative chosen, whatever it may be, will be maintained with all the fortitude and patriotism which the crisis ought to inspire.
The documents, containing the correspondences on the subject of the foreign edicts against our commerce, with the instructions given to our ministers at London and Paris, are now laid before you.
The communications made to Congress at their last session explained the posture in which the close of the discussions relative to the attack by a British ship of war on the frigate Chesapeake left a subject on which the nation had manifested so honorable a sensibility. Every view of what had passed authorised a belief that immediate steps would be taken by the British government for redressing a wrong, which, the more it was investigated, appeared the more clearly to require what had not been provided for in the special mission. It is found that no steps have been taken for the purpose. On the contrary it will be seen, in the documents laid before you, that the inadmissible preliminary, which obstructed the adjustment, is still adhered to; and moreover that it is now brought into connection with the distinct and irrelative case of the orders in council. The instructions which had been given to our minister at London, with a view to facilitate, if necessary, the reparation claimed by the United States, are included in the documents communicated.
Our relations with the other powers of Europe have undergone no material changes since your last session. The important negotiations with Spain, which had been alternately suspended and resumed, necessarily experience a pause, under the extraordinary and interesting crisis which distinguishes her in real situation.
With the Barbary powers we continue in harmony, with the exception of an unjustifiable proceeding of the Dey of Algiers towards our consul to that regency. Its character and circumstances are now laid before you, and will enable you to decide how far it may either now or hereafter call for any measures not within the limits of the executive authority.
With our Indian neighbors the public peace has been steadily maintained. Some instances of individual wrong have, as at other times, taken place, but in no wise implicating the will of the nation. Beyond the Mississippi the Ioways, the Sacs, and the Alibamas, have delivered up for trial and punishment individuals from among themselves accused of murdering citizens of the United States. On this side the Mississippi the Creeks are exerting themselves to arrest offenders of the same kind, and the Choctaws have manifested their readiness and desire for amicable and just arrangements respecting depredations committed by disorderly persons of their tribe. And generally, from a conviction that we consider them as a part of ourselves, and cherish with sincerity their rights and interests, the attachment of the Indian tribes is gaining strength daily, is extending from the nearer to the more remote, and will amply requite us for the justice and friendship practised towards them. Husbandry and household manufacture are advancing among them, more rapidly with the Southerners than Northern tribes, from circumstances of soil and climate, and one of the two great divisions of the Cherokee nation have now under consideration to solicit the

citizenship of the U. States, and to be identified with us in laws and government in such progressive manner as we shall think best.
In consequence of the appropriations of the last session of congress for the security of our seaport towns and harbors, such works of defence have been erected as seemed to be called for by the situation of the several places, their relative importance and scale of expense indicated by the amount of appropriation. These works will be finished in the course of the present season, except at New York and New Orleans, where most was to be done: and although a great proportion of the last appropriation has been expended on the former place, yet some further views will be submitted to congress for rendering its security entirely adequate against naval enterprize. A view of what has been done at the several places, and of what is proposed to be done, shall be communicated as soon as the several reports are received.
Of the gun-boats authorized by the act of December last, it has been thought necessary to build only one hundred and three in the present year. These, with those before ordered, are sufficient for the harbors and waters most exposed, and the residue will require little time for their construction when shall be deemed necessary.
Under the act of last session for raising additional military force, so many officers were immediately appointed as were necessary for carrying on the business of recruiting, and in proportion as it advanced, others have been added. We have reason to believe their success has been satisfactory, although such returns have not yet been received as enable me to present you a statement of the numbers engaged.
I have not thought it necessary, in the course of the last season, to call for any general detachments of militia or of volunteers, under the laws passed for that purpose. For the ensuing season, however, they will be required to be in readiness, and their service be wanted. Some small special detachments have been necessary to maintain the laws of embargo, on that portion of our northern frontier which offered peculiar facilities for evasion. But these were replaced as soon as it could be done by bodies of new recruits. By the aid of these, and of the armed vessels called to service in other quarters, the spirit of disobedience and abuse, which manifested itself early and with sensible effect while we were unprepared to meet it, has been considerably repressed.
Considering the extraordinary character of the times in which we live, our attention could unremittingly be fixed on the safety of our country. For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well organized and armed militia is their best security. It is therefore incumbent on us, at every moment, to revise the condition of the militia, and to ask ourselves if it is prepared to repel a powerful enemy at every point of our territories exposed to invasion. Some of the states have paid a laudable attention to this object; but every degree of neglect is to be lamented among others. Congress alone has the power to produce an uniform state of preparation in this great organ of defence; and interests which they so deeply feel in their own and their country's security will present this as among the most important objects of their deliberation.
Under the acts of March 11, and April 18, respecting arms, the difficulty of procuring them from abroad during the present situation and dispositions of Europe, induces us to direct our whole efforts to the means of internal supply. The public factories have therefore been enlarged, additional machineries erected, and in proportion as artificers can be found or formed, their work, already more than doubled, may be increased so as to keep pace with the yearly increase of the militia. The annual sums appropriated by the latter act have been directed to the encouragement of private factories of arms, and contracts have been entered into with individual undertakers to supply the amount of the first year's appropriation.
The suspension of our foreign commerce, produced by the injustice of the belligerent powers, and the consequent losses and savings of our citizens, are subjects of just concern. The situation into which we have been forced has impelled us to apply a portion of our industry and capital to internal manufactures and improvements. The extent of this conversion is daily increasing, and little doubt remains that the establishments formed and forming, will under the process of cheaper materials and subsistence, the freedom of labor from taxation, and of protecting duties and provisions, become permanent. The commerce with the Indians too, within our own boundaries, is likely to receive abundant support from the same internal source, and
will secure to them peace and the progress of civilization undisturbed by practices hostile to both.
The accounts of the receipts and expenditures during the year ending on the thirtieth day of September last, being not yet made up, a correct statement will hereafter be transmitted from the treasury. In the mean time it is ascertained that the receipts have amounted to near eighteen millions of dollars, which with the eight millions and an half in the treasury at the beginning of the year, have enabled us, after meeting the current demands, and interest incurred, to pay two millions three hundred thousand dollars of the principal of our funded debt, and left us in the treasury on that day near fourteen millions of dollars. Of these, five millions three hundred and fifty thousand dollars will be necessary to pay what will be due on the first day of January next, which will complete the reimbursement of the 8 per cent. stock. These payments, with those made in the six years and an half preceding, will have extinguished thirty-three millions five hundred and eighty thousand dollars of the principal of the funded debt, being the whole which could be paid or purchased within the limits of the law and of our contracts, and the amount of principal thus discharged will have liberated the revenue from about two millions of dollars of interest, and added that sum annually to the disposable surplus.
The probable accumulation of the surpluses of revenue beyond what can be applied to the payment of the public debt, whenever the freedom and safety of our commerce shall be restored, merits the consideration of Congress. Shall it lie unproductive in the public vaults? Shall the revenue be reduced? or shall it not rather be appropriated to the improvements of roads, canals, rivers, education, and other great foundations of prosperity and union, under the powers which Congress may already possess, or such amendment of the constitution as may be approved by the states? While uncertain of the course of things the time may be advantageously employed in obtaining the powers necessary for a system of improvement, should that be thought best.
Availing myself of this, the last occasion which will occur of addressing the two houses of legislature at their meeting, I cannot omit the expression of my sincere gratitude, for the repeated proofs of confidence manifested to me, by themselves and their predecessors since my call to the administration, and the many indulgencies experienced at their hands. The same grateful acknowledgements are due to my fellow citizens generally, whose support has been my great encouragement under all embarrassments. In the transaction of their business I cannot have escaped error. It is incident to our imperfect nature. But I may say with truth my errors have been of the understanding, not of intention, and that the advancement of their rights and interests has been the constant motive for every measure. On these considerations I solicit their indulgence. Looking forward with anxiety to their future destinies, I trust that in their steady character, unshaken by difficulties, in their love of liberty, obedience to law, and support of the public authorities, I see a sure guarantee of the permanence of our republic; and retiring from the charge of their affairs, I carry with me the consolation of a firm persuasion that Heaven has in store for our beloved country, long ages to come of prosperity and happiness.

MISCELLANEOUS EXTRACTS.
"A strange world this." Yes, and strange sort of beings inhabit it! Indeed I am of opinion that the world is not so much to blame as the inhabitants; and was every person strictly to examine his own conduct I am persuaded instead of laying the blame on the world he would say of himself "a strange creature this!" But to attend to the consequences of our own conduct is a task too burthensome; it is much easier to lay all the censure upon the world. The preacher who by his dullness has driven all the people from the church, looks round (after he has delivered a supofario) at the empty pews and sighs out, "what a dull congregation?" A strange world this!
Authors who "Painful vigils keep, Sleepless themselves to give their readers sleep," when they found their works neglected and themselves sinking into oblivion quarrel with their readers for want of taste. "This," say they "is a strange world."
Farmers who mix rye with their wheat pour water into their cidet, tye up swingling tow in their flax and practice twenty other frauds with their produce when they find it will not sell, lay the blame on the mer-
chant for endeavoring to keep down the market. "A strange world this!" say they, with deep groans as they return home after having been forced to sell their adulterated produce at half price.
The merchant who has jockeyed, shaved and bit his customers until none but those who are forced by their poverty will deal with him, when he perceives his honest neighbor taking his best custom from him exclaims "A strange world this!"
The haughty spark paying his addresses to a lady of prudence and sensibility, depending upon the wealth of his father and his own fashionable chapeau and powdered locks to carry every thing before him, when he finds himself neglected and the affections of the lady placed upon some industrious worthy man, begins to think all women are fools, and that "this is a strange world!"
The parents of the lady who always looked upon riches as the "one thing needful," and who consider men without wealth as the mahometans do women as having no souls, will be ready to tear the hair off their daughters head. Here I am ready to cry out myself "a strange world this!"

A BLACK MARE, ABOUT fourteen and a half hands high, ten or twelve years old, a switch tail & lengthy mane, and much rubbed with gears, a star in her forehead, and branded with O on the near shoulder, was brought to my house on Monday, by a black boy, who calls himself Harry, who was committed to jail as a runaway. The Mare is supposed to have been stolen, and as such was stopped by me. The owner is desired to come for his property, pay the charges, and take her away. Dominy Bearcroft. November 9 3t

RAN AWAY on the 9th of September last from the subscriber living in the upper part of Charles county, in the state of Maryland and nearly opposite Mount Vernon in Virginia—a Negro Woman, by name POLL;

By appearance when she went away was four or five months gone with child.
Her cloathing when she went off a striped country woollen short gown, osnabrigs shift and white roles petticoat. By late information I have reason to believe that she has variety of cloaths with her.
