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."

DOCUMENTS ACCOMPANYING THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE OF THE 7th INSTANT.
[CONTINUED.]
MR. MADISON'S LETTERS TO GENERAL ARMSTRONG.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Madison to Gen. Armstrong. DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
May 2d, 1808.
"Since my last, of which lieut. Lewis was the bearer, I have received your several letters of the 27th December, 22d January, 15th and 17th February, with their respective inclosures.
"That of the 15th January, from Mr. Champagny to you, has, as you will see by the papers herewith sent, produced all the sensations here, which the spirit and stile of it were calculated to excite in minds alive to the interests and honor of the nation.—To present to the United States the alternative of bending to the views of France against her enemy, or of incurring a confiscation of all the property of their citizens carried into the French prize courts, implied that they were susceptible of impressions by which no independent and honorable nation can be guided; and to prejudice and pronounce for them the effect which the conduct of another nation ought to have on their councils and course of proceeding, had the air at least of an assumed authority, not less irritating to the public feelings. In these lights, the president makes it your duty to present to the French government the contents of Mr. Champagny's letter, taking care, as your discretion will doubtless suggest, that whilst you make that government sensible of the offensive tone employed, you leave the way open for friendly and respectful explanations, if there be a disposition to offer them, and for a decision on any reply which may be of a different character."
"Congress closed their session on the 25th ultimo. For a general view of their proceedings, I refer to the series of newspapers heretofore, and now forwarded, and to other prints which are added. Among their acts of chief importance is that which vests in the president an authority to suspend in whole or in part the embargo laws."
"The conditions on which the suspending authority is to be exercised will engage your particular attention. They appeal equally to the justice and the policy of the two great belligerent powers now emulating each other in violations of both. The president counts on your best endeavors to give to this appeal all the effect possible with the French government. Mr. Pinkney will be doing the same with that of Great Britain. The relation in which a recall of its retaliating decrees, by either power, will place the United States to the other, is obvious, and ought to be a motive to the measure, proportioned to the desire which has been manifested by each, to produce collisions between the U. States and its adversary, and which must be equally felt by each to avoid one with itself."
"Should wiser councils or increasing distresses induce Great Britain to revoke her impolitic orders against neutral commerce, and thereby prepare a way for a removal of the embargo, as it applies to her, France could not persist in the illegal part of her decrees, if she does not mean to force a contest with the United States. On the other hand, should she set the example of revocation, Great Britain would be obliged, either by following it, to restore to France the full benefit of neutral trade, which she needs; or by persevering in her obnoxious orders, after the pretext for them had ceased, to render collisions with the U. States inevitable."
"In every point of view, therefore, it is so clearly the sound policy of France to rescind so much at least of her decrees as trespass on neutral rights, and particularly to be the first in taking the retrograde step, that it cannot be unreasonable to expect that it will be immediately taken."
"In whatever degree the French government may be led to change its system, you will lose no time in transmitting the information to this department, and to Mr. Pinkney; and by hired conveyance, if necessary."
A correspondent instruction is given to Mr. Pinkney."
"It is of the greater importance, that you should receive from each other the earliest notice of any relaxations, as each government is under a pledge to follow such an example by the other. And it is not of less importance that the president or congress should be acquainted with facts, that the proceedings here may be accommodated to them."
"That you may know the grounds on which the British orders of November have been arraigned by this government, I inclose a copy of the answer to Mr. Erskine's note communicating them, a copy of the note being also inclosed."
"The other documents communicated, will put you in full possession of the relations of the United States with Britain, as resulting from the issue of our general negotiations, and from that of the mission of Mr. Rose."
This dispatch is forwarded by Mr. Baker, who takes his passage from Baltimore, in a vessel engaged, as was the Osage which sailed from New-York for the special purpose of public and mercantile correspondence with Europe. She will proceed, in the first instance, to L'Orient, where she will leave Mr. Baker, and thence proceed with dispatches for Mr. Pinkney, to Falmouth, where she will remain a few days to receive communications from him; she will then return to L'Orient, in order to bring back Mr. Baker with your communications.
Mr. Madison to general Armstrong.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, July 21, 1808.
SIR,
Herewith you will receive a copy of the papers relating to one of the vessels which were destroyed at sea by the French frigates, returning from the West Indies. I observe that, in your letter to Mr. Champagny, of the 2d of April, you have incidentally noticed this occurrence. If ample reparation should not have been made to the sufferers, the President thinks it proper that, as their cases become authenticated, you should present them in terms which may awaken the French government to the nature of the injury and the demands of justice. The burning of neutral vessels detained on the high seas, is the most distressing of all the modes by which belligerents exert force contrary to right; and, in proportion as it is destitute of apology, ought at least to be the promptitude and amplitude of the redress.
If it be contended that the destruction, in these cases, proceeded solely from the danger that otherwise intelligence might reach a pursuing or hovering force, it may be answered, that if such a plea were of greater avail, it would only disprove a hostility of intention, without diminishing the obligation to indemnify, on the most liberal scale, the injured individuals. It may be added, that if the outrage on the individuals was not meant as a hostility towards their nation the latter might justly expect a tender of such explanations as would leave no doubt on this subject.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) JAMES MADISON. Gen. Armstrong, Minister Plen. of the U. S. Paris.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, November 11.
Mr. Jackson, elected from the state of Vermont, vice Nehemiah Knight, deceased, appeared and took his seat.
BRITISH AND FRENCH ORDERS AND DECREES.
Mr. Burwell offered the following resolution:
"Resolved, That the president of the U. States be requested to lay before this house copies of the act or acts of the parliament of Great Britain carrying the orders in council of the 11th Nov. 1807, into effect; and also an act placing the commerce of America in English ports upon the footing of the most favored nation."
Mr. B. said he had never met with the documents here referred to. He thought it very important that they should be before the house and the nation, that they might know precisely the duties imposed on American commerce; and particularly that they ought to have a copy of the act placing this country on the footing of the most favored nation, that it might be seen, in carrying their own produce to Great Britain, what immense advantage was given to America. If he was not mistaken, such was the advantage that the British merchant might pay double the freight for American produce to be exported in British vessels to England,
which an American merchant would, and yet reap double the profit to be made on the same produce, if carried in American vessels. It was in this view he thought the production of these papers important, and to have considerable bearing on the question of our foreign relations, which had been made the order of the day for Monday next.
Mr. G. W. Campbell said he was willing to see all the acts alluded to; but he believed they were so numerous and so contradictory in their nature, that it would require all the skill and ingenuity of the house to discover the extent of their operation or to define what would be the practice under them.
Mr. Burwell's resolution was adopted without a division; but a short time afterwards rescinded, on motion of Mr. Macon, seconded by Mr. Quincy, with the consent of Mr. Burwell, and the following resolution adopted, giving more latitude to the call for papers:
"Resolved, That the President of the U. States be requested to lay before this house copies of all acts, decrees, orders and proclamations affecting the commercial rights of neutral nations, issued or enacted by Great Britain and France, or any other belligerent power since the year 1791; and also an act placing the commerce of America in English ports upon the footing of the most favored nations."
In advocating the above resolution, Mr. Quincy expressed his wish to have all these papers, that it might be clearly understood which power had commenced the system of violations of neutral commerce.
In discussing the terms of the resolution Mr. J. G. Jackson took occasion to observe that the precise words were immaterial; for that every edict violated which affected neutral commerce.
Messrs. Burwell and Cutts were appointed a committee to wait on the President with the above resolution.
EMBARGO LAWS.
Mr. J. G. Jackson said, in order to meet the proposition of the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Chittenden) of yesterday, he would offer to the house these resolutions:
Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law for more effectually carrying into execution the several embargo laws.
Resolved, That no vessel shall be allowed to depart from one port to another of the U. States that does not with her cargo wholly belong to a citizen or citizens of the United States, and be navigated solely by citizens thereof.
Mr. Jackson said, it was not his purpose now to discuss the propriety of their adoption or the principles contained in them, but he moved their reference to the same committee to whom was referred the resolution for repealing the embargo laws, which was agreed to.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
On motion of Mr. G. W. Campbell, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole, on the state of the union, Mr. Macon in the chair.
Mr. Campbell, after observing that it appeared proper that the several subjects contained in the President's message should be referred to the consideration of committees, offered the following resolutions, which were severally agreed to in committee of the whole without a division, and concurred in by the house.
1. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the U. States as relates to our relations with foreign powers, be referred to a select committee.
2. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the U. States as relates to fortifications for the security of the seaport towns and harbors, be referred to a select committee.
3. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the United States as relates to our military and naval establishments, be referred to a select committee.
4. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the U. States as relates to revising and improving the militia system of the U. States, be referred to a select committee.
5. Resolved, That so much of the message of the president of the U. States as relates to the disposition of the surplusage of our revenue, to improvements of roads, canals and rivers, be referred to a select committee.
6. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the U. States as relates to encouraging and promoting internal manufactures be referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
7. Resolved, That so much of the message of the President of the U. States as relates to our finances, be referred to the committee of ways and means.
LIGHT HOUSES.
On motion of Mr. Livermore the house came to the following resolution:
Resolved, That the committee of Commerce and Manufactures be instructed to enquire into the expediency of rebuilding 2 light houses on Plumb Island, at the mouth of Merrimack river, in the state of Massachusetts; and that they report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Elliott then called up his resolution laid on the table yesterday; but a motion for adjournment being made, was carried 53 to 29: the House adjourned till Monday morning, 11 o'clock.
FROM THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL.
EMBARGO OR WAR!
Aut embargo aut bella, horrida bella, is the maxim of the men of administration.—Shall we forever suffer this rude din to stir our ears, and not reply to the absurd assertion! Embargo or War. War with whom? It is admitted on all hands that it is now ascertained that Great Britain does not want war with us. It would seem then that no man of common sense can doubt, that if we rescind the embargo, and take a manly attitude towards our real enemy, France, that Great Britain will give us good terms of commercial intercourse, without requiring submission, tribute, or a declaration of war against her enemy, all which are demanded by Bonaparte. But in that case there must be war with France. "Aye, there's the rub." These people are mightily afraid of a war with dear sister France. But suppose that, in consequence of a repeal of the embargo system, France should make a formal declaration of war against us, in what would the relative situation of the two countries be substantially altered? Flushed with the conquest of Prussia, Napoleon, at Berlin, on the 21st of November, 1806, declared his treaty with us null and void, by the express terms of the blockading decree; an act which any other government but our own would have considered tantamount to war. It is true that the administration was gulled by an explanation of the decree, given to our minister by the French minister of marine, who at the same time candidly confessed that he knew nothing about the business, to consider this declaration of war as a declaration of peace; but every man of common sense saw from the first that this was but a snare. Si populus vult decipi decipiatur. None could have been deceived by that explanation, but those who were very willing to be deceived. All doubt on the subject, however, was done away on the 16th of October, 1807, when the imperial council of prizes, in the case of the ship Horizon , decreed, rejecting the defence set up under the explanation of the decree given to Mr. Armstrong, that "The application of the 5th article of the before mentioned decree to the Americans as to others, results from the general terms of the article, and from the communication recently made by his excellency the chief judge [le grand juge] relative to the original intention of the sovereign." Here it is declared, that it was the original intention of the sovereign [Napoleon] that the decree should operate upon the United States as well as the rest of the world; and none but a simpleton could ever have thought otherwise. Mr. Armstrong was also assured that such had always been the opinion of the judicial tribunals. From that time, therefore, France has been in a state of declared war with us. We have not reciprocated the declaration; but, smitten on one cheek, have turned the other also; a rule, which, though a divine one, was never applied to the concerns of nations. France has acted consistently with the true character of an enemy. She has plundered us of all our property that has fallen within her grasp, and burned that which she could not carry away; she has, as in the cases of Captains Palmer and Hopkins, just published in the New-York Evening Post, imprisoned our citizens, terrified and bribed their crews to swear against them, condemned them to dungeons and tortures, forced them to march on foot, shoeless and penniless, hundreds of miles through her dominions, and refused them the common offices of humanity. She has done us much more injury, than she could do us, were it war on our part as well as on hers. We could defend ourselves against her cruisers, which are but few and feeble, without expence to the nation.—She could not land a man upon our shores while Great Britain remained mistress of the ocean; and God grant that she may remain so, while France continues a gigantic military power.
It is evident from this view of the subject, that those who tell the people, that there is no other alternative than the embargo or an expensive and bloody war, are the greatest deceivers of the people, or of themselves, or of both, that have ever been tolerated in our much deceived country.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18.
MARRIED last evening, by the Rev. Mr. Gibson, Mr. JOHN F. SMITH, to Miss REBECCA YOST, both of this town.
GEORGE GIBBIS, Esquire, is appointed Post-Master in this place, vice G.W. Craik, Esquire, resigned.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHINGTON.
WEDNESDAY, November 16. Mr. Poindexter (delegate from the Mississippi territory) reported a bill for altering the ordinance for the government of the North Western territory, passed in 1787. Read twice, and made the order for tomorrow.
The bill authorising members to frank the message of the President and accompanying documents, was read a third time and passed.
Mr. Chittenden called for the order of the day on the resolution for the repeal of the embargo.
The house refused to go into committee of the whole on the subject, only 31 rising in favor of it. [The Presidential troops have not yet received their orders.]
On motion of Mr. Randolph, A resolution was adopted, instructing the committee on post-offices and post-roads, to enquire into the expediency of authorising members of congress to frank all public documents.
The following resolution offered by Mr. Cook was referred to the committee of the whole, to whom was referred the resolution of Mr. Chittenden, on the subject of the embargo.
Resolved, That the citizens of the U. S. be permitted to arm and equip their vessels, for the purpose of defending them against French and British cruisers, when bound for any port or place not actually invested or blockaded.
After disposing of a few private petitions, the house adjourned.
THURSDAY, November 17.
Mr. Livermore presented a few petitions signed by from four to five thousand people of Massachusetts, praying for a repeal of the several embargo laws. Committed to the same committee of the whole with Mr. Chittenden's resolution.
Mr. Macón, after some spirited observations, offered resolutions to the following effect.
Resolved, That the committee appointed on so much of the President's message as relates to foreign relations, be instructed to enquire into the expediency of excluding by law from the ports, harbors, and waters of the United States, the armed ships or vessels of all foreign nations who, as belligerents have executed or enforced any orders or decrees violating the lawful commerce of the United States as a neutral.
Resolved, That the same committee be instructed to enquire into the expediency of prohibiting by law the entry into the ports, harbors, and waters of the United States, any ship or vessel belonging to, or coming from any place in the possession of any of the above mentioned powers; and also, the importation of any goods, wares, or merchandise, the growth or manufacture of any of the dominions of said powers.
Resolved, That the same committee be instructed to enquire into the expediency of amending the laws laying an embargo on all ships and vessels in the ports and harbors of the United States.
The two first resolutions were agreed to, and the third laid on the table.
Mr. Chittenden called for the order of the day on his resolution for the repeal of the embargo. On the question to go into committee of the whole, Mr. Quincey asked for the ayes and noes. The house refused to call—58 to 56. Adjourned.
Extract of a letter from Havana, to a gentleman in Norfolk, dated October 23.
"We have only time by a vessel bound to your port to say, that the vice roy of Mexico is a prisoner in the castle of St. Julian de Oleia in Mexico, and will, we presume, be shipped on board the ship of war of 74 guns, called the St. Justa now at Mexico, receiving on board for the nation 6 millions of dollars. We enclose to you some papers relative to this important occurrence.
"Such is the spirit of the Spanish nation at this time, that all Europe cannot conquer her, unless by fraud."
We are informed that Don Juan Cagigla, governor of Cumana, has communicated to the governor of Trinidad under date the
20th October, the information received by a vessel from Cadiz which left that place on the 1st September, that there had been a brilliant action between the French and Spaniards in which 3500 Manchegans, commanded by an Alcalde (the title of a judge appointed by the people, every year) whose name is Don Josef Lopez Membrillo, routed 5000 French, the greater part of whom they took prisoners, together with their generals, artillery, &c.
(Phil. Gaz.)
Captain Smith, arrived at New-London, from Martique, informs, "that the YELLOW FEVER, had commenced its ravages in the islands, and the brig Hope had lost her second mate and 2 seamen, and captain Williams and his mate were sick on shore. The captain and crew of the brig Echo, were all sick. Two thousand troops had arrived at Barbadoes from England, and more were daily looked for, and the French were expecting an attack from the British. Provisions continued high."

THE Secretary of War, by a late order, has required of the Brigadier General to take measures for having three hundred and forty-one (officers included) of the militia of the territory of Columbia detached, and duly organised, armed and equipped, and held in readiness to march at a moment's warning, as the quota of this territory, of the detachment of one hundred thousand men from the militia of the several states and territories, authorised by the act of congress passed on the 30th day of March last; and which quota is to be made up, as nearly as practicable, of seventy artillery, forty-six cavalry, and two hundred and twenty-five infantry.
The Lieutenant Colonels Commandants will with the least possible delay, examine into the state of their respective legions, see that the enrollments in company districts, and the classification by ballot, for regular routine of duty, be made according to law, and will report preparatory to a draft should a resort to this dispiriting mode of drawing out the defenders of our rights, unfortunately be necessary.
The General does not for a moment permit himself to believe, that in the brigade, which he has the honor to command, and in which he is proud to recognise, on a field-day, so much patriotism, displayed by various corps, in their uniform, in their equipment, in their discipline, and soldier-like conduct,—it can be requisite, when danger threatens, to determine by draft, who shall be foremost to repel. At a crisis like the present, when our rights and our liberties are assailed,—when our independence is jeopardised, when foreign governments hesitate not to refuse to us, amicable intercourse, and participation of benefits, the unquestioned claim of sovereignty, as consecrated by ages,—when the blood of our fellow-citizens, the spilling of which lately agitated the nation to its centre, remains unatoned for, he is satisfied, that if lots are drawn, it can only be, to ascertain, of the volunteers eagerly pressing to the standard of their country, whose services must be reserved for a future occasion.
The spirit, which has enrolled, and so handsomely equipped, at their own expence, fifteen volunteer companies, in a command, little exceeding two thousand men, and which had, previous to any official call, induced a tender of the services of four of those corps to the President of the United States, is a sure pledge of the result fondly anticipated by the General.
The field officers will take the readiest means of communicating with the volunteer corps already organised, and such volunteer associations as may offer, and will do, what on them depends, to invite and encourage the completion of the quota, by volunteers only: and the colonels will report.
When the several reports shall have been received, a detailed order will direct what further may be requisite to be done.

Since the return of the Forlorn Hope from Europe, the executive has been troubled with some "fibres of doubt" as to the proper course to be pursued in this great crisis. The embargo must be persisted in at all events; but something else must be done also. The elections in Pennsylvania, where "our sounder brethren" have prevailed so gloriously, are considered as infallibly overbalancing "those who do not think with the balance of the nation" in N. York and New-England. It is but common candor to acknowledge that the government has a hard and thorny road to tread; a path neither studded with verdure, nor bordered with flowers. "Hope, that comes to all, comes not" to the administration. The government ought certainly, at this most disastrous moment, to be supported in whatever measures its wisdom may dictate; but when a system which all admits is proved to be totally inadequate and inefficient, is persisted in merely because the administration had rather
Bear the ills they have, Than fly to others that they know not of, we mar praise their firmness in this one instance, but we cannot think their wisdom equal to their energy.
It is truly ludicrous to hear the whining about the want of virtue in the people to support the embargo. The people, thank God, are virtuous enough to support any measure or system of measures, however injurious to their interests, which is constitutional, just, or necessary: to neither of these characters is the embargo entitled, and of course it is an evidence of virtue in the people that they express their dissatisfaction.
On the subject of the British orders in council, every administration-man here is "up to the hub" in patriotism with Sempronius.
Gods, can Roman Senate long debate, Which of the two to choose, tribute or death.
It would appear much better, had not most of these gentlemen been of opinion, that when France wants money she must have it.
The Message of the president is to be delivered this day at 12 o'clock. As the mail for Philadelphia goes out 6 hours before that time, no editor but the favored秦 can receive it by this mail. All the predictions respecting that important state-paper will be amply verified.
A memorial from the legislature of the Mississippi territory, was presented to the house, praying that the first instalment due from citizens of that territory to the U. S. for lands, may be suspended in consequence of THE EMBARGO! They say they admire the wisdom of the Embargo System, and applaud the energy with which it has been carried into execution, but as it has rendered their cotton, which is their staple commodity, and of which their crops are unusually large, almost completely valueless, they are unable to pay their debts, and pray that Congress will not enforce the collection of them.
These wise legislators of the west, seem to have adopted an odd way of proving the wisdom of that system which has so highly excited their admiration! This will undoubtedly be filed in the archives of the cabinet, as, PROOF OF THE WISDOM OF THE EMBARGO, No. 1.
