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."

ACCOMPANYING THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE OF THE 7th INSTANT.
[CONTINUED.]
From the Secretary of State to Mr. Erskine.
[CONCLUDED.]
Department of State, March 25, 1808.
With respect to the principle assumed by the British orders, it is perfectly clear that it could not justify them in the extent given to their operation, if the facts, erroneously assumed, could have been fully sustained.
Retaliation is a specific or equivalent return of injury for injury received; and where it is to operate through the interests of a third party having no voluntary participation in the injury received, the return ought, as already observed, to be inflicted with the most forbearing hand.
This is the language of common sense and the clearest equity. As the right to retaliate results merely from the wrong suffered, it cannot in the nature of things extend beyond the extent of the suffering. There may often be a difficulty in applying this rule with exactness, and a reasonable latitude may be allowable on that consideration. But a manifest and extravagant departure from the rule can find no apology.
What then is the extent of the injury experienced by G. Britain from the measures of her enemies so far as the operation of those measures through the United States can render them in any sense responsible?
A mere declaration by a belligerent, without the intention or the means to carry it into effect, against the rights and obligations of a neutral nation, and thence against the interests of another belligerent, could afford no pretext to the latter to retaliate at the expense of the neutral. The declaration might give just offence to the neutral, but it would belong to him alone to decide on the course prescribed by the respect he owed to himself. No real damage having accrued to the belligerent, no indemnity could accrue.
For the same reason, a declaration of a belligerent which he is known to be either not in a situation, or not to intend, to carry but partially into execution against a neutral, to the injury of another belligerent, could never give more than a right to commensurate redress against the neutral. All remaining unexecuted and evidently not to be executed, is merely ostensible, working no injury to any, unless it be in the disrespect to the neutral, to whom alone it belongs to resent or disregard it.
Bring the case before us to this plain and equitable test. The French decree of November, 1806, undertook to declare the British isles in a state of blockade, to be enforced if you please against the neutral commerce of the U. States on the high seas, according to the faculty possessed for the purpose. As far as it was actually enforced, or an effect resulted from an apprehension that it could and would be enforced, it was an injury to Great Britain, for which let it be supposed the U. States were answerable. On the other hand, as far as it was not enforced, and evidently either would not or could not be enforced, no injury was experienced by G. Britain, and no remedy could lie against the U. States. Now, sir, it never was pretended that at the date of the first British order issued in January, 1807, any injury had accrued to, or was apprehended from G. Britain by an execution of the French decree against the commerce of the U. States, on the theatre of their neutral rights. So far from it, that the order stands self condemned as a measure of retaliation, by expressly stating that the fleets of France and her allies, instead of being able to enforce the blockade of the British isles, were themselves confined to their own ports by the entire superiority of the British navy: converting thus, by the strangest of reasonings, the security of G. Britain against injury from the French decree, into a title to commit injury on a neutral party. In the November orders also, whilst it is admitted that the French decree could not be, but imperfectly executed for want of means, it is asserted that the intention of the French decree, and not the injury accruing from its operation through the commerce of
the U. States, is the scale by which the retaliating injury against them is to be measured.
Such are the pretexts and such the principles on which one great branch of the lawful commerce of this country became a victim to the first British order, and on which the last orders are now sweeping from the ocean all its most valuable remains.
Against such an unprecedented system of warfare upon neutral rights and national independence, the common judgment and common feelings of mankind must forever protest.
I touch, sir, with reluctance, the question on which of the belligerent sides the invasion of neutral rights had its origin. As the U. States do not acquiesce in these invasions by either, there could be no plea for involving them in the controversy. But as the British orders have made the decree of France, declaring, contrary to the law of nations, the British islands in a state of blockade, the immediate foundation of their destructive warfare on our commerce, it belongs to the subject to remind your government of the illegal interruptions and spoliations suffered, previous to that decree, by the neutral commerce of the U. States under the proceedings of British cruizers and courts, and for the most part in consequence of express orders of the government itself. Omitting proofs of inferior note, I refer to the extensive aggressions on the trade of the U. States, founded on the plea of blockade, never legally established according to recognized definitions; to the still more extensive violations of our commerce with ports of her enemies, not pretended to be in a state of blockade; and to the British order of council issued near the commencement of the existing war. This order, besides its general interpolation against the established law of nations, is distinguished by a special ingredient violating that law as recognised by the course of decisions in the British courts. It subjects to capture and condemnation all neutral vessels, returning with lawful cargoes, on the sole consideration, that they had in their outward voyage, deposited contraband of war at a hostile port. If the commerce of the U. States could therefore in any case be reasonably made the victim and the sport of mutual charges and reproaches between belligerent parties, with respect to the priority of their aggressions on neutral commerce, G. Britain must look beyond the epoch she has chosen for illegal acts of her adversary, in support of the allegation on which she founds her retaliating edicts against our commerce.
But the United States are given to understand that the British government has, as a proof of its indulgent and amicable disposition towards them, mitigated the authorised rigor it might have given to its measures, by certain exceptions peculiarly favorable to the commercial interests of the U. States.
I forbear, sir, to express all the emotions with which such a language, on such an occasion, is calculated to inspire a nation which cannot for a moment be unconscious of its rights, nor mistake for an alleviation of wrongs regulations to admit the validity of which would be to assume badges of humiliation never worn by an independent power.
The first of these indulgencies is a commercial intercourse with the dependencies of the enemies of Great-Britain, and it is considered as enhanced by its being a deviation in favor of the United States from the ancient and established principle of maritime law prohibiting altogether such an intercourse in time of war.
Surely, Sir, your government in assuming this principle in such terms in relation to the United States, must have forgotten their repeated and formal protests against it, as these are to be found in the discussions and communications of their minister at London, as well as in explanations occasionally made on that subject to the British representative here. But permit me to ask, more particularly, how it could have happened that the principle is characterised as an ancient and established one, I put the question the more freely, because it has never been denied that the principle, as asserted by your government, was for the first time introduced during the war of 1756. It is in fact invariably cited and described in all judicial and other official transactions "as the rule of 1756." It can have no pretension therefore to the title of an ancient rule.
And instead of being an established rule or principle, it is well known that Great-Britain is the only nation that has acted upon, or otherwise given a sanction to it. Nay, it is not even an established principle in the practice of Great-Britain herself. When first applied in the war of 1756, the legality of a neutral trade with enemy's colonies was not contested by it. In certain cases only of the colonial trade, the allegation was, that the presumptive evidence a-
rising from circumstances against the bona fide neutrality of the ownership justified the condemnation as of enemy's property. If the rule of condemnation was afterwards, during that war, converted into the principle now asserted, it could not possibly have been in operation in its new shape, more than a very few years. During the succeeding war of 1778, it is admitted by every British authority that the principle was never brought into operation. It may be regarded in fact, as having been silently abandoned; and within the period of war since its commencement in 1793, the manner in which the principle has been alternately contracted and extended, explained sometimes in one way, sometimes in another, rested now on this foundation, now on that, is no secret to those who have attended to its history and progress in the British orders of council and the British courts of admiralty.
With the exception, therefore, of a period, the last in modern times from which authentic precedents of maritime law will be drawn, and throughout which the U. States, more interested in the question than any other nation, have uniformly combated the innovation, the principle has not in the British tribunals been in operation for a longer term than three, four or five years, whilst in no others has it ever made its appearance but to receive a decision protesting against it.
Such is the antiquity and such the authority of a principle, the deviations from which are held out as so many favors consoling the United States for the wide spread destruction of their legitimate commerce.
What must be said as to the other exceptions, which seem to have been viewed as claims on the gratitude of the U. States?—
Is it an indulgence to them in carrying on their trade with the whole continent of Europe, to be laid under the necessity of going first to a British port, to accept a British licence and to pay a tribute to the British Exchequer, as if we had been reduced to the colonial situation which once imposed these monopolizing restraints.
What again should be said as to other features which we see blended on the face of these regulations? If the policy of them be to subject an enemy to privations, why are channels opened for a British trade with them which are shut to a neutral trade? If in other cases, the real object be to admit a neutral trade with the enemy, why is it required that neutral vessels shall perform the ceremony of passing through a British port, when it can have no imaginable effect but the known & inevitable one of prohibiting the admission of the trade into the port of destination?
I will not ask why a primary article of our productions and exports, cotton wool, is to be distinguished, in its transit, by a heavy impost, not imposed on other articles, because it is frankly avowed, in your explanation of the orders, to be intended as an encouragement to British manufactures, and a check to the rival ones of France. I suppress also, though without the same reason for it, the enquiry, why less rigorous restrictions are applied to the trade of the Barbary powers than are enforced against that of a nation, such as the United States, and in relations such as have existed between them and Great-Britain.
I cannot however pass without notice the very unwarrantable innovation contained in the two last of the orders. In one of them a certificate of the local origin of a cargo, altho' permitted in the port of departure and required in the port of destination, by regulations purely domestic in both, and strictly analogous in principle to the regulations in the commercial code of G. Britain, is made a cause of capture on the high seas, and of condemnation in her maritime courts. In the other order the sale of a merchant ship by a belligerent owner to a neutral, although a transaction as legal when fair, as a dealing in any other article, is condemned by a general rule, without an atom of proof or of presumption, that the transfer in the particular case is fraudulent and the property therefore left in an enemy.
In fine sir, the President sees in the edicts communicated by you facts assumed which did not exist, principles asserted which never can be admitted; and, under the name of retaliation, measures transcending the limits reconcileable with the facts and the principles, as if both were as correct as they are unfounded. He sees moreover in the modifications of this system, regulations violating equally our neutral rights and our national sovereignty. He persuades himself therefore that your government will see in the justice of the observations now made in addition to those I had the honor verbally to state to you in the first instance, that the U. S. are well warranted in looking for a speedy revocation of a system which is every day augmenting the mass of injury for
which the U. S. have the best of claim to redress.
I have the honor to be, &c. &c. JAMES MALISON. The hon. David M. Erskine, Esq. &c. &c. &c.

PROTEST
Made by Bernardin Friere D'Andrade general of the Portuguese troops, against the articles of the convention agreed on between the English and French armies, for the evacuation of Portugal.
"I PROTEST, in general, on account of this treaty being totally void of that difference due to his royal highness, the prince regent, or the government that represents him, on account of what may be hostile in it to the sovereign authority and independence of this government, and for all that may be against the honor, safety, and interests of the nation; and in particular, I protest against what is stipulated in the following articles:
ARTICLES 1. 4. and 12. "Because these articles determine the surrender of Portuguese fortified places, stores and ships, to the English forces, without solemnly declaring that this surrender is momentary, and that it is intended they should be immediately restored to the prince regent of Portugal, or the government that may represent him to whom they belonged, and in whose aid the English came as auxiliaries.
Art. 15. "Because it permits the residence in Portugal of the individuals mentioned in it.
Art. 17. "Because it attempts to tie down the government of this kingdom, not to bring to justice and condign punishment those persons who have been notoriously and scandalously disloyal to their prince and their country, by joining and serving the French party; and even if the protection of the English army should be allowed to screen them from the punishment they have deserved, still it should not prevent exclusion, whereby this country would no longer have to fear again being betrayed by the same men.
First of the additional articles: "This article can by no means bind the government of this kingdom, as no reciprocal conditions are stipulated.
"I protest finally, on account of the want of attention to the safety of the inhabitants of the capital and its environs, nothing having been stipulated in their favor to insure their not being still vexed and oppressed by the French during their stay—not even an equivalent for what it established by Article 16 and 17, in favor of the French and their followers.
"And to these heads I limit my protest, in order not to make too long a list, passing over other objects of less importance, such as the concession of 800 horses, which was made without considering that they almost all belong to Portugal, and thus cannot be considered the property of the French; that of the magazines of the army, filled at the expence of the country, and consequently only belonging by act not by right, to the unjust occupants of the country.
(Signed)
Bernardin Friere D'Andrade. Head quarters at the Incarnacion, Sept. 14, 1808."
LONDON, September 28.
We announced on Saturday the arrival of captain de Cuesta, and another Portuguese officer, from Oporto, with dispatches for the Portuguese ambassador, and at the same time stated that they are the bearers of a strong remonstrance against the convention that terminated the war in Portugal. We have given in our preceding columns the protest of the Portuguese general against this disgraceful arrangement, and also a statement of some circumstances attending it, which have contributed to excite even greater disgust and indignation among the Portuguese, than the measure has produced in the British nation.
The movements of the troops in every direction on the continent, continue to indicate an early renewal of hostilities. Austria is on every side surrounded by hostile armies—a numerous Russian corps is assembled on the frontiers of Galicia—two large French divisions in Silesia menace Moravia; the Saxon contingent has approached the frontiers of Bohemia; the extensive camps at Erfurth, Molsham, Bamberg, &c. on the Rhine, threaten Austria. A large body of Bavarians is assembled in the Tyrol. It is to be joined by a corps of

Italian troops, in the event of a war, and to penetrate into Salzburg—while the French army in the Friuli, augmented to nearly 50,000 men, threaten Turin.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H. November 3.
Truth in its True Colors!
On Tuesday arrived here the brig Jane, captain Morse, who sailed from this port by permission from the President of the United States, about ten weeks since, for the purpose of collecting a demand at St. Vincents; having called on the captain we hand the following as a correct statement made by him: That the vessel sailed from this port on the 14th of August last for St. Vincents for the purpose of collecting a demand for captain Abraham Shaw against the estate of Josiah Durham, esq. deceased, and arrived at St. Vincents on the 7th of September collected on said demand 68 puncheons rum and 28 hds molasses, amounting to 4400 dollars 72 cents; on the 2d October sailed from St. Vincents for this port; on the evening of the 5th of October in lat. 18, 25, N. long. 63, W. fell in with a French ship of war and two armed brigs in company, brought us too after firing four guns, sent their boat and took every person on board and took the brig in tow; it being dark with a breeze, they were not enabled to take our baggage on board the commodore. On the 6th, began to see the sacrifice of property; at day light the brig's boat was put over the side, and every small article of stores and the plunder of all the chests were put on board and carried off; at 10 A.M. the three vessels hoisted out their largest boats and began to discharge the brig and receive equally on board each vessel. By this time we learned by one of their people, that their vessels were on their way direct for France, and were only going to take out part of the cargo, then the brig was to share the same fate of the brig Julian, capt. Lee, which was sunk a few days before, after being plundered; she sailed from St. Vincents in company with the Jane, with a similar cargo. After they had taken 85 puncheons of rum, every small article of provision that could be named, and all our light sails and small rigging and plundered the whole crew of almost all their wearing apparel, they were then about to sink the brig. Proposals were then made on our part to the commodore to purchase the brig after she was condemned by their Imperial decree; the answer was, they would consider of the matter till the afternoon, when about half past four, they informed us we could have the brig for 1000 dollars, drawing bills on our owners at 90 days, being obliged to comply with those terms, they gave us a bill of sale, with a condemnation of the brig and cargo; we were then permitted to depart, taking on board our vessel the captain and crew of the brig Julian, which made fifteen persons, on board the Jane, with only 40 lbs. bread and 50 lbs. beef, and left in this situation in lat. 19, 30, N. long. 48, 20, W. to stem our hard fate: fortunately on the morning following saw three sail to leeward, which, after 8 hours chase, we came up with, who were humane enough to take seven of our people and supplied us with a small quantity of provisions, which enabled us, by the blessing of God, continuing on short allowance, once more to reach our native land of liberty, in safety.
SAG HARBOUR, November 5.
The schooner Greyhound, Ward, in 29 days from St. Bartholomews for Salem, anchored at Montauk, on Wednesday last.—came passenger capt. Robert Hudson. late of the brig Quantitay-Cook, of New York, who sailed for Point Petre, but put into St. Bartholomews in distress, where his vessel was condemned as unseaworthy. Captain Hudson informs us that at St. Bartholomews the government seized all the flour, allowing 20 dollars—at private sale it would bring 28. There were great numbers of runaway vessels in the West Indies, without papers; the English had taken some to St. Kitts, and allowed 16 dollars per cask for flour; and on their complaining, they were directed to apply to their own government for redress! It was reported at St. Bartholomews that in Guadalupe the Milan decree was enforced with the utmost rigour.
Capt. A. informs that notwithstanding the considerable numbers of runaway vessels, great distress was experienced throughout the West India Islands, in consequence of our embargo. Notwithstanding it was the policy of their government to conceal their distress, yet it was manifest that very many opulent individuals were sacrificing their property for the necessaries of life.

REPRESENTATIVES TO CONGRESS.
We have the satisfaction to state that the following gentlemen are elected representatives to the eleventh congress.
Suffolk, Hon. Josiah Quincy; Worcester S. Hon. Jabez Upham; Worcester N. Hon. William Stedman; Hampshire S. Hon. William Ely; Hampshire N. Hon. Samuel Taggart; Essex S. Hon. Benjamin Pickman, jun.; Essex N. Hon. Edward St. Loe Livermore; Bristol, Laban Wheaton, Esq.—These eight are certain.
From information we feel confident that Ezekiel Whitman, Esq. is elected in Cumberland district; who will make ten federalists out of seventeen, our whole representation! We entertain hopes of the election of Alden Bradford, Esq. in Lincoln district.
In Norfolk, the Hon. Ebenezer Seaver is re-elected; in Middlesex, Gen. Varnum We presume to the embargo gentlemen we may add, the Hon. Barzillai Gannet, in Kennebec; Gideon Gardner, in Barnstable; Hon. Ezekiel Bacon, in Berkshire; and Hon. Richard Cutts, in York, by a small majority. In Plymouth district, it is suspected there has been no choice; if any, Charles Turner, jun. Esq. the democratic candidate, is chosen. [Bost. Rep.]
A gentleman who left Port-au-Prince, (St. Domingo) on the first of October, informs us, that an internal warfare is still carried on in that island, between the rival Chiefs PETION and CHRISTOPHE; the former marched from Port-au-Prince about the middle of September, with an army of 8000 men, to attack St. Marks and Cape Francois which were still in the possession of the latter: the last accounts left PETION, within a few miles of St. Marks, and several partial engagements had taken place between them. There were many British ships at the different ports in that island; indeed the British have almost the exclusive trade. Provisions was very high, flour,
pork, &c. selling at 60 or 70 dollars per barrel, colonial produce very plenty. Nearly 2000 fugitive Frenchmen had arrived in the different ports of St. Domingo. It was supposed that the French privateers which have been driven from Cuba, will now rendezvous at Samana, on the east end of St. Domingo.
We learn from Turks Island, Santa Cruz &c. that provisions are plenty and cheap. The cause of provisions being so much higher in some of the West India islands than in others, is owing in a great measure to a want of coasting vessels to ply between them.
[Charleston Courier.]
Mr. Mumford's resolution we sincerely hope will be adopted by the house; that we may, in some measure be relieved from the distressing and deadly burden which has, almost for a year past, oppressed us. It is now acknowledged by every candid man that the embargo can never be of any use to this country, either as a saveall , or as a measure to coerce the belligerent powers. Let us then, for humanity's sake, get rid of it if possible. If the executive has committed a blunder which he is not willing to acknowledge, this will make a loop hole for him, to creep out of a system which by this time he must know will not answer his purpose. If we make war, let us make it in the old way; so that, at least, it shall injure our enemies as much as it does ourselves. If we do not think the trade of France and Britain worth fighting for; let us make use of the ports which are open to us, and not, like a sulky negro, because we cannot have every thing we desire, starve ourselves to death.
(Wash. Fed.)
Legislature of New-York.
SATURDAY, Nov. 5.
Mr. Bulkley, of Madison, offered a resolution, for requesting the representatives of this state in the congress of the United States, to use their endeavors to get the embargo laws repealed—ordered to lie on the table.
The house went into committee of the whole, on a bill sent down from the senate, which was stated to be of such importance, as to demand the immediate attention of the house. The two first clauses, which related to the inspection of flour in the county of Kings, passed without debate.
The third clause was then read, the object of which was, to allow the exportation of flour from this state, which had been marked "bad" by the inspectors.
Mr. Van Vetchen expressed his astonishment at the introduction of such a clause; and, in a few words, exposed its absurdity; he contended, that it would wholly defeat the object of our laws for the inspection of flour—that the character of New York flour was now high in foreign markets, owing to the severity of our inspection laws; but that, if this provision prevailed, it would open the door, nay, invite too, innumerable impositions, and destroy the credit of the flour of this state. He could discover no good reason for the measure.
A New York member, Mr. Fairlie, if we mistake not, undertook to explain the object of this measure. He said, that in consequence of the merchants not being allowed to export bad flour, the citizens of New York were compelled to eat it—that the bakers imposed upon them, &c.
At length after a little boggling and hesitation, the petition on which the clause was grounded, was read—when, behold! it appears, that in consequence of the embargo, large quantities of flour had soured and spoiled in New York; and that if the owners could be permitted to export it, they might send it to Great Britain, where it might be used by the manufacturers for starch.
Was there ever a more striking picture of the degradation of our country? The embargo was laid to starve the British; and the non-importation act to ruin her manufactures. This has been openly avowed by the democrats in the house of assembly, who have exultingly referred to the riots at Manchester, as a proof of the effects of these measures. Now an application is made to the legislature, by our own citizens, for permission to export their flour, spoiled by the embargo, for the purpose of making starch, for the very manufacturers whom this embargo was intended to starve. Thus giving to the British the same flour at a reduced price, which, but for the embargo, they would have purchased at our own price. Surely "the embargo tells," as the Register says.
