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." Gentleman's Magazine, Nov. 1803.

Alexandria Daily Gazette, COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL.
PRINTED AND PUBLISHED BY SAMUEL SNOWDEN, Royal-street, Alexandria.
Daily Gazette, 6 Dollars per annum. Country Gazette, 5 Dollars.
Translated for the Philadelphia Gazette.
The following affectionate address from the patriotic citizens of Malaga, to his excellency general Castanos, as commander in chief, and to his excellency general Reding, the second in command, as conquerors of the French army, under general Dupont, on the 21st July, 1808, at Baylen, in Andalusia.
The four quarters of the globe being roused by the clashing of our conquering arms, they all hold out to us their captive hands, praying that we may break the barbarous chains which either enslave them already, or threaten to oppress them. The immortal sons of Belis have torn the laurels from the conquerors of the Danube, the Oder, the Vistula and the Niemen.
The sword which Francis the first surrendered at Pavia, has been snatched from us by fraud and deceit; but it shall be substituted by that of Napoleon the first, which was intended to be deposited in the tabernacle of the Temple of Victories, in the capital of France, shall he at any time possess the necessary courage to unsheathe it in the front of our armies. That of Dupont, so much celebrated at the battle of Jena, is already prostrated at the foot of the altar of the God of battle, and consecrated to the greatest hero of our kings, the glorious San Fernando the third, the patron of Seville.
The glories of Seville, its loyalty and patriotism, will at some future day eclipse all others which for thirty centuries had illustrated the whole earth. The powerful empires which the world has known, the celebrated conquerors who have overrun and subjugated the nations, all have left no memory behind them but that of bloodshed and slaughter, robbery, conflagration and pillage: but Spain now presents herself on the military theatre of the world, under more happy auspices.
The establishment of her own real independence, and that of the liberty of all Europe, are the objects of her vows and the actuating principles of all her enterprises: not of that unbounded liberty, of that horrible licentiousness which was attained by the unhappy French nation at the cost of one million of lives sacrificed to destroy in fact, all the bonds of society and morality, all the ties of consanguinity, and in short every other that had existed between heaven and earth since the beginning of the world. Spain alone has thus much been able to conceive and undertake the glorious and noble enterprise—always faithful to the God of her forefathers, she would not consent to bend her knee to the idol before whom all other people had prostrated themselves.—Field of Baylen! posterity will contemplate you with reverence and astonishment; and will repeat to you with tenderness and tears the beloved names of Castanos and other heroic generals of his army!
The imperial crown which twice adorned the heads of our monarchs, shall again be placed by our hands, on that of the Cesars, which it had belonged to for many ages.—Italy, the former theatre of our victories, and principally the legitimate patrimony of our kings, repeatedly conquered with great loss of the blood of our brave and heroic forefathers, but since ceded by shameful treaties, will open to us their arms and receive us as their liberators, preferring, in case of necessity, the domination of Spain, its religion and customs, which so closely bind them to us, to the yoke of the infamous oppressor, who has despoiled them of every thing that was dear and precious. The ten provinces of Flanders which are completely lost by the unfortunate treaties of Utrecht, have not forgotten that they had fought for a long time in our favor. Their fields yet bathed with the blood of our heroes, will transmit to the remotest posterity, the memory of our valor and of our deeds, and if we should even arrive before their walls, they cannot hesitate between the liberal and mild government which they enjoyed during the time they were subject to our empire, and the tyrannical one which in the course of one campaign destroyed and annihilated all the opulence they had acquired during the 95 years that revolved since they changed from the government of Spain to that of Austria, and were then transferred to that of France contrary to the most solemn treaties of 1713.
Andalusians—Your religion and your confidence in God, your heroic exertions and
incomparable valor, have achieved you a victory which none of the nations of Europe obtained against the common enemy. The armies of Germany, so much celebrated since the time of Julius Cesar, then of the Fredericks and Gustavus's, then of the Cossacks and Calmucs, the terror of the north, have not obtained one since the year 1791, which gave birth to the destructive war of the revolution; but you have captured and disarmed a whole army—such has been the first essay of our victorious arms. The pencil and the chisel will immortalize in linen and on marble the glorious actions of the heroes of this memorable drama.
Citizens of Malaga, other cities of Spain, in imitation of ancient Greece, may dispute the glory of owning Castanos, the Achilles of our days, but we must also feel proud of the share which falls to our lot. Let it therefore be permitted to our love and to our respect, to offer this small tribute of acknowledgement to our most worthy general, who is applauded and blessed, by the people around him. Let us rejoice once and a thousand times—the descendant of him who gave liberty to the mountains of Helvetia, more fortunate than William Tell, has assisted with his extraordinary valor to establish the foundation of European liberty at a period of 501 years since the latter caused Switzerland to be freed from her yoke.—Reding, our beloved governor Reding, the compassionate father of the poor, the inflexible administrator of justice, how many claims you have on our affections, on our gratitude, and on our eternal memory, on that of Spain, and on that of posterity! Amiable Reding, the bold and active, the indefatigable and enterprising Reding! Another pen more eloquent than mine, should have engaged to compose your eulogium.—Your name ranks highest in the hearts of your fellow citizens.
Andalusians—Your swords have vanquished the imperial eagles of France; the loss of only one at Ansterlitz, had almost humbled the haughty spirit of Napoleon; at Baylen you have torn many of them to pieces; and those will be the rich spoils that shall ornament the triumphal car of the conqueror. Let us all then gird on the sword of vengeance, and with it in our hands, led on by such experienced and valiant chiefs, we shall fly from victory to victory, from the Banks of the Belis to those of the Seine, burning, levelling, and destroying the whole country, towns and villages, and such armies as may oppose our passage, until we can peaceably secure God on our altars, our king on his throne, and this province of Andalusia, for the fame of its military prowess, to be ranked among the first people on earth.

NEW-YORK, October 26.
Latest Foreign News.
To the politeness of a respectable Mercantile house we are indebted for a file of London papers to the 24th of September, 7 days later than before received. From these we have given as copious selections as our time would permit. Among the articles in reserve for to-morrow, is a particular statement of the conflagration of Covent Garden Theatre—an accident in which 12 persons lost their lives, and a considerable number were badly injured. Several small dwelling houses adjoining the Theatre were consumed at the same time.
LONDON, Sept. 15
The destination of the expedition formed at Cork, under the command of sir David Baird, remains a secret; but it is supposed, in consequence of some recent orders, that the original plan is altered. As the transports are not copper-bottomed, they are not probably intended for a distant object. The horse transports will amount to 300. This is the only cause that has delayed the sailing of the expedition. The heavy baggage was ordered to be embarked last week.
The embarkation of troops at Ramsgate has commenced with great activity. The 1st battalion of the 1st regiment of guards, under the command of col. Anson, marched from Deal on Thursday into Ramsgate, and immediately went on board the vessels lying at the pier to receive them. They were followed by the 3d battalion of the 1st guards, under the command of col. Cheney, amounting in all to about 3000 of the finest men that ever left the country. At Ramsgate, however, as at Cork, there appears to be a deficiency of transports.
An express was dispatched to Cork on the 5th, with orders for the expedition to sail forthwith. Orders have been issued for the troops to leave all their baggage on shore, and such men as are not fit for the most active and immediate service, are to remain at Fermoys.
When this new expedition reaches its destination, we shall have in Spain and Portugal an army of above 50,000 men.
The Gloire frigate, captain Carthew, cruising off the coast of France, a few days since, discovered two of the largest class of French frigates, near cape Barleur. Notwithstanding this immense odds, captain Carthew, with the utmost intrepidity, resolved on attacking them. In a few minutes the ship was clear for action, every gun doubly shotted, and it was thought one broadside would so disable the sternmost ship, as to enable him to cut her off. The enemy on perceiving his intentions, immediately crowded all sail, and, with the assistance of a strong in shore current, effected their escape into Cherbourg, but not without receiving a broadside from the Gloire, as they entered the mouth of the harbor. What is still more convincing how much the enemy feel their own inferiority, the Amphitrite, a fine new frigate, ready for sea at Cherbourg, never made the least movement to assist her comrades, or even to give them a tow into port.
September 19.
Dutch papers to the 13th instant were received yesterday. They contain a number of articles relative to the movement of the French troops in Germany, France and Italy, the object of all which appears to be the increase of the force acting against the Spanish patriots. Bonaparte was expected to leave Paris on the 8th, on a journey, as the papers state; but whether he was to proceed towards the Rhine or the Pyrenees, is left to conjecture. The Dutch papers contain the various official documents which have lately been presented to the French senate, and the most important of which we have already published.
September 20.
The Moniteur of the 7th instant, has published the mock treaties by which Bonaparte claims the right of transferring the crown of Spain to his brother Joseph. In return for his kingdom the unfortunate Charles IV. receives the palace of Compiene, with its parks and forests, and a revenue of thirty millions of reals. The accession of the prince of Asturias follows his father's resignation, and he is to have possessions in Navarre to the amount of 50,000 acres. The French and Dutch papers are still filled with articles relative to the movement of troops, among which appears to throw some light on the nature of the journey which Bonaparte is said to be about to undertake. It is stated that on the 7th a detachment of the imperial life guards set off in great haste for Strasburgh. We may, therefore, soon expect to hear of the arrival of their master in that city. Whether we are to regard this journey of Napoleon as the prelude to hostile operations against Austria, or as undertaken for the purpose of an interview with the emperor of Russia, which, according to report, is to take place at Wernar, a short time will shew. The Moniteur, with its usual disregard to truth, has again charged the Marquis de Romana with treachery, and in a pretended letter from Hamburgh, has stated, that 4000 of the Spanish troops, long since completely rescued from French fraternity, were blocked up in Langeland, and that the rest had been disarmed and sent into France.
The expedition under Sir David Baird, sailed from Cork on Sunday se'nnight. Its first point of destination is understood to be Falmouth, for which port the transports having on board the brigade of guards, have sailed from the Downs.
September 21.
By the Champion frigate, arrived at Cadiz, advices from that quarter to the 29th ult. have been received. They state that on the morning of that day a vessel had arrived from Buenos Ayres with dispatches, after a passage of 84 days. The letters had not been delivered when the Champion sailed; but it was understood, that the Portuguese government at the Brazils had sent a force against Spanish America, and demanded the immediate surrender of Monte Video and Buenos Ayres. Compliance with this demand was peremptorily refused, and 14,000 troops, under the command of the respective governors of these places were in arms to defend themselves against the advances of the forces from the Brazils. The accounts of the late events in Europe will of course induce the Portuguese to forego any farther hostile project against the Spanish colonies.
Other letters from Cadiz confirm the report that it had been found necessary to confine Dupont in the castle of that place, on account of his insolent deportment.
By the latest accounts from the Baltic, we learn that several fire ships were preparing to aid the combined British and Swedish fleets in the intended attack upon the Russian fleet in Port Baltic. This port is not fortified, but its proximity to Revel
would afford the Russians an opportunity of bringing down cannon, and erecting temporary batteries for the defence of their ships.
The following is an extract of a letter from Gottenburg, September 7:—It is calculated that the Russians have lost 30,000 men since the commencement of the war in Finland. A want of provisions and the intense cold, have been particularly fatal to them. I can assure you from good authority that in Aland, Gothland, and Finland, the Swedes have collected and taken about 11,000 stand of arms from the Russians, among which there is not one single Russian musket, all of them being part of the twenty thousand stand furnished two years ago by the Swedes to Russia, at the request of Britain. The troops encamped in the neighborhood of Riga are said to be nearly destitute of arms.
September 22.
Dutch papers to the 14th were received yesterday, which contain some articles relative to the arrangements made for forwarding the French troops on their march from Saxony, and the frontiers of Russia towards Spain. They were expected to halt at Mentz in order to afford time for supplying provisions for their route through France. This is some explanation of the difficulty which Bonaparte has in collecting troops to act against the Spanish patriots. He burdens with perfect indifference every foreign country over which he has extended his control, but he seems afraid to extort similar sacrifices from France. Private letters from Paris state, that Bonaparte was to set out for Strasburgh in the middle of last week.
The Flushing squadron, consisting of nine sail of the line, it appears, are ready to put to sea. Rear admiral Gardner in the Belerophon, and six other sail of the line, have sailed from the Downs, to give a good account of the enemy, if they should venture out of port.
September 23.
It was reported yesterday that orders had been dispatched by government for the immediate recall of sir Hugh Dalrymple and sir Harry Burrard. The army in that country will then be placed under the command of sir J. Moore. Sir Arthur Wellesley, it is said, has marched with 16,000 men to the support of the Spanish patriots. The En counter gun brig has arrived at Plymouth from Spain; but, as she came direct from off Cadiz, she could bring no recent intelligence from the immediate scene of hostilities. She has, however, brought dispatches for government and the Spanish deputies.
The transports with the first division of the Spanish troops on board, arrived at Yarmouth on Tuesday. On the same day the troops embarked at Harwich, which are to form a part of the expedition collecting at Falmouth, sailed, and yesterday arrived in the Downs. The Spanish troops will probably accompany this expedition.
It was yesterday very generally reported in the city that our fleet had succeeded in an attack on the Russians in Rogerswick Bay, and that seven sail of the enemy's line had been captured. Letters from Leith, and other northern ports, were said to state the fact. The Edinburgh papers, received yesterday, contained, however, no such intelligence, and no accounts have yet reached the admiralty from the Baltic.
From the German Papers.
WARSAW, August 23.
On the 25th inst. several French couriers arrived here. Marshal Davoust has received orders to break up with his division immediately from the Dutch of Silesia. Ever since yesterday the French troops have been marching through this place. The Berlin post road through Bionie is covered with troops, field equipage and artillery; many horses have been put in requisition belonging to our citizens for different transports. The duke of Auerstadt, and the general of division, Morand, will soon follow; the troops and the field equipage are quite ready.
From the Maine, Sept. 1.
The French troops are repairing the works of Neisse, and putting that place in a very good state of defence; artillery and ammunition are transported thither. They also talk of pitching a French camp in the neighborhood. The fortresses of Glatz, Selberberg, and Cassel, continue to be occupied by Prussian troops, who keep up the best understanding with the French troops in the neighborhood. The Presburgh Gazette says, that travellers from Russia report, that the Russian troops are much in motion, to form pleasure camps—Vieuna Zeitung.
DORSTEIN, Sept. 3.
The general of division, Beoumont, arrived here. Besides some small detachments of troops, yesterday about 3 or 4000

French Infantry arrived here on their march to Silesia.
DRESDEN, Aug. 30. At 11 o'clock yesterday 7000 of our troops marched into the camp pitched for them between Pirna and this city: its right wing leans on the village of Spornitz, the left on that of Muchlen: the direction of the camp runs on a parallel with the high road between Pirna and the Elbe, the latter forms the rear. In the front of the latter, and on the mountain of Kosning, there is also encamped a detached corps, with its front turned to Bohemia. The outposts go on the left flank to the distance of one league from Pirna. The field posts and vedettes were every where in good order. On both wings the cavalry is cantoned. The king is set out from Warsaw between the 8th and 12th inst. In the course of this week marshal Ney's corps passed through these environs, and that of marshal Mortier is expected to follow.—Correspondent.
ALTONA MERCURY, Sept. 3. Our Gazette contains the following article from Saxony:—The apprehensions of a war with Austria have vanished, and it is made public at Dresden that the Austrian court has, under date of the 9th ult. published an extremely satisfactory declaration relative to its arming.—Ibid.

The Hope brings dispatches of a late date from both France and England, which will no doubt be laid before congress, in detail, and be soon published, as that body meets this day week. In the mean time it may be improper to repeat, that the terms offered by our government, which, as far as we have been able to obtain them, have been faithfully given to the public, and which have extorted even the approbation of the federalists, are such as will, if not accepted, rally every American citizen round his government. [Ibid.]

A letter from an intelligent and respectable gentleman at Marietta, to the editor of the Worcester Gazette , dated Sept. 22, says:—'In our little State, correct principles are gaining ground. I sincerely hope for better times. Our ship-building has ceased, and all kind of business is embarrassed, except suing and attempting to collect debts—attempting I say—for the objection is impossible.—Property has fallen three or four hundred per cent. Corn is but nine pence a bushel—and other articles in the same ratio.'
GENERAL WILKINSON. This officer, as will appear by the following notes, challenged R. G. HARPER, esq. who, for reasons assigned, rejected the invitation. Upon this gen. W. proceeds to publish Mr. H. as a coward, which nobody that knows this gentleman can believe.] [Fed. Gaz.]
General JAMES WILKINSON, the commander in chief of the army, TO Capt. ROBERT GOODLOE HARPER, commanding a company of Volunteer Artillery.
Captain Harper, under the veil of patriotism, having secretly assailed the general's honor, and by wits and fictions, unprincipled & inhuman, endeavored to destroy his military fortune and fame—Gen. W. concludes, that injuries of such uncommon atrocity without a ray of provocation to excusate them, gives him an incontestible claim to commensurate reparation. He therefore waves the privileges of rank, and demands from captain Harper the only admissible atonement.
Major Bissell of the army, will deliver this note, and is authorised to adjust the time, place and manner. Baltimore, Wednesday-noon 25th October, 1808. }
Gen. Wilkinson must excuse me from accepting his invitation. It supposes an equality, which situated as he is, in the public opinion and in my own, I cannot admit. Neither can I admit that for advising Mr. Clark to lay before congress the documents in his possession, tending to prove the existence and nature of gen. Wilkinson's connection with the Spanish government, which advice appears from his note of yesterday, to be the offence whereon his challenge is founded I am personally responsible to him. It was my right and my duty to give that advice. To admit that I am responsible to gen. Wilkinson for having given it, would be to admit a principle leading directly to the suppression of evidence, and the impunity of offence.
(Signed) ROBT. G. HARPER. Baltimore, October 27, 1808. (Addressed) gee. James Wilkinson, commander in chief, &c.
Extract of a letter from Havana, dated October 4, 1808. "At this time this place is in a great uproar, owing to a report of an intercepted letter from Tallyrand to Mr. Jefferson, expressing the gratitude of Napoleon Bonaparte, for the obedience of Tho's. Jefferson laying the embargo, and observing the good effects it has had, and will have towards quelling the Spanish insurrection. The Spaniards here are very much exasperated, and will, I fear, treat us very ill; horrid threats are made now."
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, of Sept. 3, to a mercantile house in New York. "Produce is again getting in demand, in consequence of the little hope there remains of a peace at present. It is feared that even your own country will be involved in a war, with one or the other of the belligerent powers; at least our prize-court continues condemning all American vessels on the bare plea of having been visited by a British cruiser."
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, dated Sept. 5, received in Philadelphia by the Hope. "The position of the U. States as far as respects the two belligerents is not likely to be changed. A considerable number of American vessels and cargoes have been lately condemned here, and will be sold in the course of the month. Remittances can be made in any manner directed."
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux to a merchant in N. York, dated 3d September, received per the Hope. "At times small vessels have arrived here from Guadalupe, Porto Rico, etc. chiefly loaded with coffee, which has sold at immense prices. But I suspect the English cruisers now keep a better look out, as several vessels fitted out here for our colonies, have lately been captured."
"Our emperor, by way of encouraging navigation under the French flag, has taken a share in all adventures from this port. From this circumstance we presume, that at a future period, he aims at excluding all foreign vessels from our ports. In the mean time, all foreign vessels now in our ports, are still detained under one pretext or other, and Americans continue to be condemned under the different decrees. It is the general opinion, that the U. S. will, at length be compelled to side with one part or the other of the belligerent powers. We are but imperfectly acquainted with the conduct of the British government towards the rebels in Spain, as they are called here, but from the equivocal conduct of our leading men, there is too much reason to apprehend a rupture between this country and the U. S. and the sudden rise in colonial produce, is generally attributed to that cause."
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. OF THE REGISTER.
"LONDON, Sept. 22, 1808. "I am writing by the Hope that carries out the American dispatches—when Congress meets, I presume the answers of England and France will be known and published. Were I to conjecture an opinion, it would be, that the whole system of decrees, orders of council, and embargoes will remain, until a general peace can settle greater points—Differences proceed more from the state of politics, than as contests between the two countries."
"LONDON, Sept. 23, 1808. "From the little that has transpired, as to the effect of the missions by the schooner Hope to France and England, it is understood that neither country has conceded any thing, except so much as attaches to the relaxation of the British orders in council in regard to Spain and Portugal—so that when Mr. Jefferson and his cabinet find that nothing is to be obtained by negotiation, what conduct will they pursue? To slip easily out of their difficulties, I think they will leave the matter entirely to Congress; and the complexion of that body being rather changed by the elections, I am inclined to hope they will remove the embargo; which, while it lasts, is doing incredible benefit to this country, and incalculable injury to the United States. It is rather extraordinary, but this measure has completely operated in a converse ratio to the calculations of its framers."
"BORDEAUX, 5th Sept. 1808. "Since the last of May, owing to discouragements excited by reports on political subjects that cannot with propriety be here related, the prices of colonial produce declined 35 to 40 per cent."
"Within a few days past, however, the demands for consumption have been brisk, and prices have mounted to the quotations at foot, and will ere long be considerably augmented."
"As neutrals are now no longer tolerated, immense voyages are to be made by fast sailing schrs. under the French flag; the papers of the expedition must be in the strictest rule to prevent difficulties here with the custom house, and owing to the troubled state of Spain, orders should be given in no event to enter her ports."
"The position of the U. States, as respects the two great belligerents, is not likely to be changed. A considerable number of American vessels and cargoes have been lately condemned here, and will be sold in the course of the month."

The most wretched state of Man.
In a conference held between some Greek and Indian philosophers, in the presence of Choferes, king of Persia, the following question was proposed for solution.
"What is the most wretched state in which a man can find himself in this world?"
A Greek philosopher said it was to pass a feeble old age in the midst of extreme poverty. An Indian asserted that it was to suffer sickness of body accompanied by pain of the mind.—As for me said the vizer Buzurgmehr, I think that the greatest of miseries a man can experience in this world, is to see himself near the close of life without having practised virtue.
This opinion received the general approbation of this assembly of sages, and Choferes ordered that it should be engraved on a marble table, and fixed up in the principal square of Ispahan, to offer to the people a subject of meditation and remain an eternal lesson of wisdom.
Time which devours all things has destroyed this tablet; and in Persia as with us it is forgotten that the greatest of miseries in this world is to approach the close of life without having practised virtue.
Yesterday departed this transitory existence, in the meridian of life, after a tedious and distressing illness, Mrs. MARY PATTON, wife of Mr. Thomas Patton, of this place, she has left those who knew her value in life in death—the ways of Providence are invisible, and if her troubles here were great, it enabled her to resign this world and its things, with a calm and serene mind; and cleave to that omnipotence who alone can give her rest.—Pure Spirit when thou art enrobed in the Realms of Eternal Bliss, mayst thou exclaim, if this be the reward of my afflictions, why should a murmur at thy dispensations ever escape my lips.
Her friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend her funeral to-morrow evening at 4 o'clock.
