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."

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTION.
[From the Farmer's Museum.]
TO perpetuate to posterity a melancholy recollection of the evils produced by a democratic mal-administration , and for the purpose of exposing the arts and wickedness of unprincipled demagogues , the following BEACON is erected, by way of counterpart and contrast to the elegant inscription which appeared in the Columbian Centinel, at the close of the federal administration in 1801.
On the 4th of March next, Will expire, To the joy of every native American, who has his country's good at heart, And to the morbid chagrin of presidential parasites, sycophants and office-holders, THE DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION Of the GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Conducted by A JEFFERSON—A MADISON, A GALLATIN, et id genus omne; Æt. 8 Years. ITS DEATH Was occasioned by an inherent principle of mortality, which would have a- lone eventually extin- guished the VITAL SPARK, Had it not been accelerated by foreign in- triguers and domestic traitors; Who have been cherished and nurtured by their great foster father , The drift of whose wretched policy has been to loosen the UNION— Annihilate the CREDIT—endanger the PEACE—suspend the PROSPERITY—tarnish the HONOR —and destroy the FELICITY OF HIS COUNTRY. At its birth it found the Union of the states Strong as the Gordian knot; It hath left it Weak as the films of Gossamer. It found the United States Unbounded in Credit, and respected abroad, The treasury full and overflowing; It hath left them IMPOVERISHED, their name a disgrace in foreign nations; And their treasury chest and its contents of little more value than the bag which contained “The malt that lay in the house that Jack built.” It found The United States at Peace with all the world; It hath left us A dubious if not certain prospect of WAR. It found Our arsenals full, Our magazines bursting with ammunition and warlike implements; And our manufactories of cannon and muskets, in employment: It hath left Some empty, and others decaying for want of proper care. It found Our SEAMEN, a valuable and necessary part of community, Thriving and happy, without dreaming of dry docks, or want of service; It hath left them Not a ship-biscuit for their allowance: But compelled them to be Begging their bread in our seaports, Or, Seeking subsistence in a foreign navy. It found The commerce of our country penetrating every clime by the enterprize of her merchants and the fearless- ness of her sailors; Throwing into the lap of her sister, agri- culture, the rarities and the lux- uries of all nations: It hath left it Manacled by an endless embargo; Which, like the insatiable leech is suffered to drain the country of all the wealth in its veins. And which has operated with the baneful- ness of the dog-star, upon Individual enterprise and wealth, public prosperity, and the morals of THE PEOPLE.
It found The yeomanry of the country, her mechan- ics and manufacturers, Prosperous, contented and happy; The produce of their FARMS, like the gold of Ophir, was GOOD; And all curious workmanship of their hands, and all useful labor, met a ready and appropriate
REWARD: It hath left The Farmer, though surrounded with “much cattle,” and his garners full, unable to realise the cost of rais- ing them; his cheeses liter- ally are “dropping fat- ness,” and his but- ter growing rancid for want of A MARKET. It hath left
The mechanic and manufacturer subjected to correspondent privations. In a word, It found them the cheerful supporters of good government, increasing, as in- dividuals, and as a nation, in Riches and honor.
It hath left them growing daily more and more discontented and disheartened. It found The REVENUE ample and augmenting, owing to the wisdom of its FOUNDER, And completely sufficient for the purpose of a gradual abolition of the United States DEBT, and the annual expences of Government:
It hath left If not an empty treasury, a deficit for the last year only, of at least fifteen millions of dollars, which would have otherwise accrued to the government from imposts , now almost altogether deprived of that source NATIONAL INCOME.
It found The country supporting an independent and dignified Neutrality, not affected by “ignoble stooping,” But by the assertion of our Rights: It hath left us Cringing meanly to France, and by bad management destroyed the “Harmony of intercourse” with G. Brit.
It found us Possessed of a NAVY, composed of 34 ships of war, mounting 918 guns, and manned by 7350 gallant seamen. It hath sold off A part of this National Bulwark; another part is rotting in the Ship-yards, where they have been de- posited; and a few are left sea worthy to remind our countrymen of what our force once consisted.
It hath Left us in lieu a few paltry inefficient gun- boats , better fitted to receive the s—p—ke, than for the lofty perch of the Noble Eagle.
It found The Exports and Imports, composing our Foreign and Commercial Traffic, amounting to an immense sum: It has reduced Them to a song, by a cowardly EMBARGO. In fine,
It hath left our once UNITED, PROSPEROUS, HAPPY, WEALTHY Country— Divided, her citizens dissatis- fied, and the nation poor. And yet, notwithstanding these things are palpable to all, there are many among us who are so lost to the senti- ments of virtue, gratitude and patriotism, as pro- fessedly to Prefer the administration of Thomas Jefferson, To those of his Immortal Predecessors, WASHINGTON and ADAMS. Redeant Saturnia regna.
FROM THE N. Y. EVENING POST.
Cobbet.—The administration papers are busy in giving extracts from Cobbet's Re- gister for the singular purpose of promoting their cause. “If these extracts (says the Monitor) do not make converts to the mea- sures of our administration, I shall be much disappointed.” Take the following: “The reader will perceive that the Ame- ricans can now choose to represent the hos- tile proclamation, not as an act of retalia- tion , but as an act of precaution . As if they were afraid that we should send in our ships to burn their towns! Believe them
who will; for my part the contrary is evi- dent to me; and so it, at first, was to them —for they, in all their newspapers, called it an act of retaliation . See the proclama- tion itself in page 249 of vol. XII. and say whether it can be an act of mere precaution. It was the mildest measure they could adopt, Mr. Madison says; and I say it was the harshest, because they had it not in their power to injure or annoy us in any other way. It was the worst they could do. It was not a blow, for a blow they were unable to deal us; but it was spitting in our faces. It was too, a measure still in existence, at the same time when Mr. Rose arrived in America; and, therefore, to have offered reparation, until it was rescinded, would have been disgraceful to us in the highest degree. It would have been begging par- don with a cane suspended over our shoul- ders. It would have been going one step further than the late ministers, who entered upon a negotiation touching the right of search, while the Americans had a non-im- portation act passed for the avowed purpose of compelling us to give up that right, and kept suspended over our heads ready to be put in execution, in case we refused to ac- cede to the terms proposed.” “America is as much our enemy as she can be. No- thing can possibly make her more so. She would declare war, but she dare not. There is no fear of “throwing her into the arms of France.” She is there already as much as she can be. Our ships of war keep the two dear friends asunder. What the revolution in Spain may do, by placing the countries, joining the United States, under the imme- diate control of France, I know not. If the Americans were not such miserable slaves to their envy and hatred of England, this event would at once produce an alliance offensive and defensive between us & them; but I am of opinion that it will produce no such effect, until severe suffering (which is in store for them) shall have taught them justice and modesty. The Floridas are in- habited by Spaniards; Louisiana by Span- iards and Frenchmen; the key of the Mis- sissippi is in their hands. Without the aid of England it is impossible for the southern and western states of the American union to maintain themselves against France, if at- tacked by her; and to avoid being attacked there is but one way, that is, by doing what Napoleon shall command; in other words, yield to him without resistance—What a fine field would, by this revolution in Spain, be opened for a grand co-operation of Eng- land and America, were it not for the lead- ers in the latter country! The way for them to proceed is so plain, that it needs not be pointed out. How natural, how glo- rious would such a co-operation be! But it is not for us to endeavor to hasten it.— the first motions towards it must come from the other side; and they will not come till the people, the real people of America shall rouse themselves, trample under foot the slaves of France, and resolve to act for their own interests. This event can be of no great distance. They know what French armies are. They personally hate the French; and, when once they have them in their neighborhood, they will begin seri- ously to think of the means of defence.— Drive them from the continent of North America they must; or they must them- selves become subjects of France. There is no other alternative. They cannot drive them away without the aid of England— and the giving of that aid will naturally and necessarily lead to a connection, which may have a wonderful effect in the world. But, it cannot too often be repeated, that the first movements towards such a connexion, must not be made by us. ”
As our hand is in, we will give one more extract from the same work, for the same purpose; that is, reader, in making converts to the administration. “The way that the American states will get out of their embarrassments, with respect to us, will, I should think, be this: Mr. Thomas Jefferson and his party will be ousted, and the, new president will disclaim all their hostile acts. Should this be the case, we shall go on harmoniously for the future; and I think that the Ameri- cans (especially if Napoleon succeed in Spain) will not be long before they join us against France. That this may be the case, I heartily wish; but I am sure it never will be, if we make the first movements to- wards it.”
FROM THE SAME.
COBBETT.—The wiseacres who con- duct the administration papers, have lately amused their readers with some extracts from Cobbett's Register, which happened to please them. This led us to look a little in- to their favorite, and from it we greet them with the following extract. Speaking of the affairs of Spain, in June last, soon after the revolution broke out, he says—
“If Napoleon were baffled in Spain, there is no telling to what it might lead. The ultimate consequence might be the de- liverance of Europe. I mean the re- deliverance ,” and not a mere exchange of despotisms. The effect in America will be wonderful; though I should be greatly sur- prised, if, in the United States, the GOVERN- MENT, the present reigning faction, were not decidedly hostile to the Spaniards; that fac- tion being FRENCH in heart, and NOTHING BUT FRENCH.” There, all ye host of sycophantic editors, swallow that and digest it as you can.
From the New York American Citizen.
For a long time previous to the caucus nomination, and when that violence to the constitution and fraud upon the community was committed, Duane, editor of the Phila- delphia Aurora, was decidedly and avow- edly opposed to Mr. Madison. An army of six thousand men was to be raised: no man could tell for what. If for defence against any fancifully anticipated invasion, or for offensive operations against the Canadas or the Floridas, the measure was infinitely ridiculous and contemptible. If rigidly to enforce the execution of the embargo laws, the army could not be rais- ed, nor was it indeed thought of, until the mischief was done; the horse was in fact gone, before it had occurred to the practical sagacity of Mr. Madison to shut the doors of the stable. The army then was not rais- ed for defence, nor for offence, nor, se- cundarily, to enforce the operations of the em- bargo. For what then was it raised? Was it to purchase the election of Mr. Madison with MILITARY COMMISSIONS?—Duane turned about, became an advocate of the e- lection of Mr. Madison, commenced a de- fence of that disgrace of the army, its com- mander in chief, and is now a COLON- NEL; every editor that was worth having and could be seduced, has been purchased with MILITARY COMMISSIONS. I say no- thing of Legislators, who as such had to vote for Presidential electors, to whom MIL- ITARY COMMISSIONS have been given.— Their conduct may, notwithstanding, as le- gislators, be unbiassed. But the tempta- tion is great and the management corrupt and execrable . It behoves the Legislature of this State to set the seal of its reprobation upon this Washington management.
From the Charleston Courier.
As Spain is now passing through the fiery ordeal of a revolution, which I trust in God is to break the yoke of the Usurper, let us cast a rapid glance upon the countries which have been revolutionized by France, and view the benefits they have derived from that colossal power. Holland , forced to abandon her consti- tion, which had grown out of the manners and habits of her people, has been created a kingdom, and is in a state of the utmost dis- tress. Naples , has been compelled to accept a King of the BONAPARTE stock, and is kept down by the sword of the soldiery and the axe of the executioner. The Pope, who crowned the Destroyer- General of Europe, has been deprived of his power, and the aged members of his sa- cred College driven from their homes with the utmost scorn and contempt. Tuscany , first erected into a kingdom, then deprived of its Sovereign, and finally melted down into the territory of France. Switzerland , deprived of her liberties, which she had exercised without offence to any power in Europe, and converted into a dependance upon France, until it shall please the Destroyer-General to give her some other form of government. Venice and Genoa , shorn of their honors, and independence, their Doges and their Councils, united to France, and all their commercial property and importance gone. Germany , without manufactures, without trade, writhing under the most oppress- exaction, and treated like a captured city. Prussia , the most useful friend France ever had, almost blotted from the map of Europe and reduced to the utmost misery. Austria , curtailed of her power, & wait- ing with trembling anxiety to see what new demands France may make, and what por- tion of her territories she may be permitted to keep. Portugal , vexed by the most cruel ex- actions, and a prey to misery and famine, boldly threw off the French yoke. and has again, I trust, become independent. Such is the condition of the Continent, which has had the blessing of French alliance or French interference, and such are the proofs which Bonaparte has shown of his pacific disposition, of the wise and benevo- lent policy which labors for the welfare and happiness of the world! Whilst England, who has not had the benefit of his councils

whom he has not been permitted to inter- fere with—who has exposed the cant of his professions, scorned his menaces and defied his power, stands in the midst of her own ocean, unmoved and immovable. She is the ark of Noah, which has survived the moral deluge that overwhelmed all the rest of Europe.
A LOOKER-ON.
BY THE LAST MAIL.
FOREIGN SUMMARY,
From the Salem Register , November 5.
We have been politely favored with the Gibraltar Gazettes till September 24. They furnish no later occurrences than have been already mentioned, but they supply many new papers which serve to explain more fully past events. From our various sourc- es of information we find that the French emperor perseveres in his design of collect- ing a great military force in Spain. The French army in the northern part of Spain is preparing for an important action, and the French continued to hold such important positions in Catalonia as promised great as- sistance to their operations in that quarter. Troops were in motion in the countries alli- ed to France. They were marching for Spain from all their encampments, as they would be spared or replaced, and were cross- ing the Rhine at very different points, and with forced marches. We hear of them from Bavaria, Baden, Wirtemberg and Hamburg, and upon the Rhine at Frankfort and Mentz. They were in motion in Sax- ony and Westphalia and Italy. Notice is given of general Dumas as at Paris, and as probably to have a command in Spain, and of general St. Cyr, who has a new corps under his direction. A Paris paper of the 13th September, exhibits a decree for 30,000 additional conscripts to be called out in Ja- nuary next, for the defence of the coast, but that the military forces were to admit no in- crease of the public burdens or taxes. This report was from count le Cepede. The English papers say, that the French emper- or had commanded into service even the city guards, but not that they had been ordered to march. The avowed motive for prepar- ing a palace for the emperor at Strasburg in regard to some affairs of the Rhenish Confederation, and no other purpose has yet been disclosed. A late statement gives to France and its allies 83 millions. A dis- pension must then give the only hopes of Spain. General Danzelot succeeds Cesar Bellier in the command of the Seven Isl- ands ceded by Russia to France. The Eng- lish papers insist that hostilities are ready to commence between France and Austria, which the French as strenuously deny. No circumstances which betray hostile purposes have been announced. The trea- ty of the king of England with the king of Two Sicilies was signed at Palermo on the 30th of March, and was to be followed by a commercial treaty. By this, the Eng- lish have the privileges of the ports of Sicily free of duties, and all prizes taken, from the English are prohibited from such ports, and his British majesty obliges himself to send Messina and Augusta, to pay an an- ual subsidy of 300,000 pounds, and to comprehend Sicily in the peace whenever made.
From the north we learn that the late Swedish expedition to Finland was to in- clude 25,000 men, making the whole Swe- dish force in that country 40,000, and they are to land in three divisions. Klingspor the Swedish general reports a dear bought victory over the Russians at Lappa, and that the Russians were at that time at Sal- m. The English had provided gun-boats such as had been advantageously used on the shores of the Baltic, and the Russians assisted their operations by the harbors of Finland. We have no particular history of the Rus- sian affairs from which we can draw any conclusion respecting the effects which the war may have produced. Prince Purvis is ambassador from Austria at Pe- tersburgh. We have no distinct account of the affairs of Turkey. Before the late revo- lution a demand had been made of the de- position of Bacchi, the vice aga of the Jani- saries; and the government granted it. The commander of the five European fortresses has some jealousies of a friendship to Bac- chi, gave battle to the commander of the Turkish fortresses near the city, and in May commanded on both sides the entrance to the Black sea. Pacha Taler had come from Egypt, and it was said a good under- standing had been encouraged. The Turks proposed to raise 150,000 Asiatic troops. The state of the European provinces is still uncertain. It is reported that the Grand Seignor had consented to some proposals made by Austria respecting Bosnia. What the propositions of the French in the east may be, cannot be known. The English papers in
addition to the articles of some feuds a- mong the Indian powers, mention reinforce- ments sent into the western country from Bengal, and represent the whole country from Moustan to Candahar in a state of dis- turbance.
An article from Nuremberg informs from some officers of Davoust's army, that they had orders to march for Astracan on the Caspian, and from thence to be transported to Persia and the East Indies we had alrea- dy learnt that a great force was collected at Astracan, but that any of the troops would be from France was not insinuated. The English say that a minister was to go from their court to Constantinople; and we are told that Toller who had given much trou- ble to the Grand Seignor, had made his peace, disbanded his troops and had ac- cepted a command at Varna in Bulgaria, on the Black Sea. We have no particular ac- count of the policy of Constantinople since the death of the late Seignor, and the French appear to express no apprehension of the loss of power from the event.
Charles Stuart, esq. the English minister was expected at Madrid in September.— John Murphy a merchant of London had agreed to raise a regiment in Spain at his own charge and to accept the command.— It has been said that Dumourier was actu- ally in Spain. If we are to believe all the troops in motion are destined for Spain, and that the Spaniards are in high spirits, we may expect to hear of events as memo- rable as any which have distinguished the late years of European history.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHING- TON.
FRIDAY, November 11.
Mr. Burwell offered a resolution request- ing the President to lay before the house, the act or acts of the British parliament, carrying the orders of the 11th November, into effect, and also, the act placing the com- merce of the United States on the footing of the most favored nation. Carried.
On motion of Mr. Jackson, the following resolutions were committed to a committee of the whole and made the order for Mon- day.
Resolved , That provision ought to be made by law for more effectually enforcing the several embargo laws.
Resolved , That no vessel shall hereafter be suffered to depart from one port in the United States, for another port in the same, unless such vessel and her cargo shall be owned by a citizen or citizens, and except she be exclusively navigated by citizens.
The house agreed to re-consider the vote on Mr. Burwell's resolution. The mover then so modified the motion, as to include all the laws, orders, decrees and edicts of all the belligerent s. since 1792.
Mr. Elliott called up the resolution offered by him yesterday, but before it could be ob- tained, the house adjourned till Monday next.
A letter from Providence assures that the legislature of Rhode Island have made choice of the honorable Francis Malbone , esq. a senator to congress for 6 years. This appointment will afford real satisfaction to every American citizen, who feels an inter- est in the welfare and commercial prosperi- ty of his country.
The Question settled —The following gen- tlemen are appointed Electors of President and Vice-President for this state.
CLINTON.
Electors. Districts. Messrs. Spencer (Judge) Albany Huntington, Rome Tallmadge, Dutchess Yates, Schenectady Shankland, Otsego Hurd, Chenango Atwater, St. Lawrence Carpenter, Tioga Symonds, Madison Jameson, Ontario Moores, Clinton Pettit, Washington Rouse, Rensselaer Lawrence, Greene Vrooman, Schoharie Garrison, Staten Island
MADISON.
Messrs. White, West Chester. Rutgers, New-York Seamen, Long Island
In the state (out of this city) Madison- ism is unknown. The Legislature, as usual, is Republican, or, as is generally termed, Clintonian . The three Madison- ans were appointed in consequence of its having been agreed, in caucus, to choose by congressional districts; but the Legislature
expects that the vote of this state will be an undivided one for gov. Clinton as our next President. [ American Citizen .]
“Lean look'd prophets whisper fearful change, Rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap.”
From what we can gather among the de- mocrats, it appears that the nation is still to be cursed with the embargo or we are to have war with the world. It was formerly thought that our good friends the French might be pacified, if we resisted England. But Napoleon is determined to hold the des- tinies of nations in his own hands. He will not only be obeyed—but the world shall know that he is obeyed—to this implicit obedience, whatever the government might do, the people will not submit. We must therefore resist—England will not give up the right of search—we must therefore re- sist. The embargo is at present no resist- ance, we must of course go to war. We hear now of the militia being held in readi- ness—of armies being formed on our north- ern and southern frontiers, and armies of reserve in the heart of our country. What are we to think of these things?
(Washington Fed.)
Senate of the United States.
On Tuesday and Wednesday no business of importance.
THURSDAY, November 10.
Mr. Giles offered the following resolution: Resolved , That so much of the President's message as relates to the several embargo laws, be referred to a select committee, with instructions to examine and report, whe- ther any further measures are now necessa- ry to enforce a due observance thereof dur- ing their continuance; and also whether a- ny further modification thereof be expedient at this time, and that such committee have leave to report by bill or otherwise.
On making this motion, Mr. Giles ob- served, that as the resolution he had the honor of moving respecting the embargo laws, was intended only as an enquiry into that subject, which was deemed important by all, and if to be further acted upon, re- quiring immediate attention; and as it did not commit the Senate upon any point in re- lation to those laws, he hoped that the com- mittee might be now appointed.
Mr. Goodrich requested that the motion might not be acted upon until to-morrow, to which Mr. Giles agreed.
Mr. Smith, of Md. submitted the follow- ing motion for consideration:
Resolved , That a committee be appointed to enquire whether any, and if any, what a- mendments are necessary to the militia laws of the United States.
The following, are the different standing committees appointed for the present session of Congress.
1. Of elections—Messrs. Findley, D. R. Williams, M. Clay Lambert, Blake, Sturgis, Elliott. 2. Of claims—Messrs. Helmes, Johnson, Pikin, Seaver, Humphreys, Brown, Butler. 3. Of commerce and manufactures.—Mes- sieurs Newton, McCreery, Cutts, Dana, Ma- rion, Mumford, Porter. 4. Of ways and means—Messrs. G. W. Campbell, W. Alston, Eppes, Smilie, Tall- mage, Fisk, J. Montgomery. 5. Of public lands. Messrs. Jeremiah Mor- row, Goodwyn, Russel, Boyd, Ely, Howard, Bibb. 6. Of revisal and unfinished business.— Messrs. Clopton, Van Renselaer, Durell, 7. Of accounts—Messrs. Stedman, Milnor, N. R. Moore. 8. On affairs of District Columbia—Messrs. Lewis, Vanhorn, Southard, Blackledge, Rea Lemuel I. Alston, Wharton.
A monument has been erected at Madrid, to the memory of the Spaniards who fell in the insurrection of the 2d of May. The cenotaph is superb: in the four corners are four pyramids, and in the front this inscrip- tion—“To the unfortunate Spaniards assass- inated on the 2d of May, by French perfidy, their free and triumphant country con- secrates this deserved memorial.”
