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 rightly arranged—the style correct and neat—and the general tenor 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, man 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.

EVERY MAN A THIEF BY NATURE.
TO A LADY.
Listen to me my dearest creature, Every man's a thief by nature: See the little girls and boys, How they steal each others toys: Stealing is the first of arts, None are thieves but men of parts. Poets steal from one another, Nay, the daughter robs her mother, Time will steal our very youth, Lies sometimes steal the truth; Nay, your sex would pilfer you Of those eyes of heavenly blue, Of that soft envermill'd lip, And that ear with rosy tip, And your silky auburn hair, That wantons in the enamour'd air. Since we are such thieves by nature, Why accuse me, dearest creature Of a crime, a crime so glorious, Is your swain at last victorious? Have I really stole your heart, Spite of all your pride and art? If you pardon the transgression, You shan't lose by the confession, You shall find your heart at rest, In your lover's faithful breast; How I'll guard the precious treasure, Love's the source of every pleasure; You can prove it, if you doubt it, Life, indeed, is nought without it.
TG CHLOE!
I prithee send me back my heart, Since you refuse me thine; For, if from you's you will not part, Why should you fetter mine?
Yet, now I think on't—let it lie; To send it me were vain; For there's a thief in either eye Would steal it back again.
For the Alexandria Daily Gazette.
MR. SNOWDEN.
A friend having favored me with the Report of the Committee of the English Board of Agriculture, "appointed to extract information from the County Reports, and "other authorities, concerning the culture "and use of Potatoes," I have taken a few extracts from it which I send you.
EARLY POTATOES.
"For early Potatoes, in Cheshire, the "from frost in a warm place, where they "may sprout at least three inches by the "middle of March; after that time, the "first favorable season they are with the "sprout on, carefully planted in a dry soil "covered at nights with straw or rushes "as long as frosts continue: ready to take "up the middle of May."
PLANTING THE SHOOTS.
"This practice, which is not unknown "in England, having been formerly attempted, has received particular attention from the Dublin Society, who have published a Memoir on the subject, containing Dr. Maunsell's experiments in this method, and a great variety of testimonies in its favor. Every person knows that in the spring, Potatoes shoot out, and that in stirring, moving, or cutting slices, many of these shoots fall off, and are commonly thrown away. They may, however, be preserved and planted with success, instead of cuttings; by which means there is a saving of all the expence of seed."
"W. Woodcock, Esq. says, "the sets from which I took the shoots were likewise planted; and in comparing them with others of the same sort, which were not deprived of any of their shoots, I do not find the crop in any degree inferior:—there appeared not the least diminution of the vegetative power. I found that it was of no consequence in what position the shoots were planted, whether horizontal or perpendicular: both ways answered extremely well."
"T. King, Esq. says, "As to the best mode of cultivation, I am decidedly of opinion, that drilling far exceeds any other."
USE WHEN FROZEN.
"As the frost affects only the water in the Potatoes, and not at all the starch, the latter may be extracted, and will be found as white and good as if not frozen."
ARDENT SPIRIT OBTAINED.
"Dr. Anderson obtained from 72 pounds of Potatoes an English gallon, of a pure spirit, considerably above proof; and a
"bout one quart more below proof. It was the finest and most agreeable vinous spirit he ever saw."
ANALYSIS BY DR. PEARSON.
"From experiments it appears, that the Potatoe Roots afford about five sevenths of their weight, or twenty-eight to thirty per cent of meal."
"Hence if a bushel of these roots weigh 75 pounds, it should yield 21 or 22 pounds of meal."
In my next, I will send you the process of making Potatoe Bread, Yeast and Biscuit; communicated to the Board by one of the Fellows of the Royal Society.

DOCUMENTS
ACCOMPANYING THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE OF THE 7th INSTANT.
[CONTINUED.]
COPIES AND EXTRACTS OF LETTERS FROM MR. MADISON TO MR. PINKNEY.
Extracts of a letter from Mr. Madison, Secretary of State, to Mr. Pinkney, dated December 23d, 1807.
"Mr. Erskine having been so good as to let me know, that the mail of this evening will carry his dispatches for a British packet, which will sail from New York immediately on their arrival there, and other conveyances now failing, I avail myself of the opportunity to enclose you a copy of a message from the President to congress, and their act in pursuance of it, laying an immediate embargo on all our vessels and exports. The policy and the causes of the measure are explained in the message itself. But it may be proper to authorise you to assure the British government, as has been just expressed to its minister here, that the act is a measure of precaution only, called for by the occasion; that it is to be considered as neither hostile in its character, nor as justifying or inviting, or leading to hostility with any nation whatever, and particularly as opposing no obstacle whatever to amicable negotiations and satisfactory adjustments with Great Britain, on the subjects of difference between the two countries."
"The suddenness of the present opportunity does not allow me time to add more than a newspaper containing a part of the proceedings of Congress in relation to the embargo."
"P.S. As you may be able to find conveyances to Paris, whither none will for some time offer hence, I request the favor of you to communicate to gen. Armstrong the contents of this letter, and thro' him, or otherwise, to Mr. Erving at Madrid."
Extract of a letter from the same to the same, dated February 19, 1808.
"A vessel having been engaged to carry from the port of New York public dispatches and mercantile letters to Europe, I avail myself of the opportunity of forwarding you a series of gazettes which contain the proceedings of Congress, and such current information as will give you a view of our internal affairs. They will be put with this letter into the hands of Mr. Nourse, a passenger in the dispatch vessel, who will deliver them at London; and as the vessel, which will have previously touched at L'Orient, will, after waiting ten or twelve days at Falmouth, return to that port, and thence to the U. States, you will have an opportunity of sending thither any communications you may wish to make to Paris, as well as of transmitting to your government such as may follow up your correspondence, which at the present period will be the more acceptable, the more it be frequent and full."
"My last, which was committed to the British packet, inclosed a copy of the act of embargo, and explained the policy of the measure. Among the considerations which enforced it was the probability of such decrees as were issued by the British government on the 11th November; the language of the British gazettes, with other indications, having left little doubt that such were meditated. The appearance of these decrees has had much effect in reconciling all descriptions among us to the embargo, and in fixing, in the friends of the measure, their attachment to its provident guardianship of our maritime interests."
"Mr. Erskine communicated a few days ago the several late decrees of his government, with expressions of the regret felt by his Britannic majesty at the necessity imposed on him for such an interference with neutral commerce, and assurances that his majesty would readily follow the example, in case the Berlin decree should be rescinded, or would proceed, pari passu with France, in relaxing the rigor of their measures. Mr. Erskine was asked whether his government distinguished between the
operation of the French decree municipally on land, and its operation on the high seas. On this point he was unable to answer; as he also was to an enquiry, whether the late British decrees had reference to the late extension of the French decree with respect to the U. States. He seems also, as is perhaps the case with his government, to have taken very little into consideration the violations of neutral commerce, and, thro' them, the vast injury to France, antecedent to the Berlin decree. It is probable that something further is to pass between us on this subject."
Extract of a letter from the secretary of state to Mr. Pinkney, dated
MARCH 8, 1808.
"Having just learnt that the present mail will arrive at New York in time for the British packet, I avail myself of the opportunity of forwarding your commission and letters of credence, as successor to Mr. Monroe in the legation at London."
"Since my last, which went by Mr. Nourse in a dispatch vessel, bound first to L'Orient and then to Falmouth, I have received your communications of the 23d November, and of December. These, with a representation from gen. Armstrong to the French government on the subject of the decree of Berlin, as expounded and enforced in the case of the ship Horizon, were thought by the president to throw so much light on the course likely to be pursued by Great Britain and France, in relation to the United States, that he had the documents confidentially laid before Congress."
"Mr. Erskine has made a written communication on the subject of the British orders. I shall answer him as soon as the very urgent business on hand will permit."
Extract of a letter from the same to the same, dated March 22, 1808.
"My last bore date the 8th inst. and went by the British packet. It acknowledged your letter of Nov. 23d, and of December. I have since received those referred to in the latter, and also that of January 26, which came to hand last evening."
"I cannot enclose my answer to Mr. Erskine's communication of the British orders; the unceasing pressure of other matters on a state of health still feeble, having thus far delayed it. You will anticipate the complexion which will necessarily be given to it, by the character of measures, not only violating our rights, and stabbing our interests; but superadding, under the name of indulgencies, a blow at our national independence, and a mockery of our understandings."
From the same to the same.
[EXTRACTS.]
APRIL 4, 1808.
"My last was of March 22, and went under the care of Mr. Rose. I now forward printed copies of the correspondence with him, on the subject of his mission, and of the antecedent documents, relating to the case of the Chesapeake. As soon as the voluminous residue of the communications made to congress, issues from the press, it shall also be forwarded. You will find that they include certain documents relating to France, which were thought proper for the knowledge of Congress at the present crisis."
"To these communications, I add copies of Mr. Erskine's letter to me on the subject of the British decree of November last, and of my answer. And, that you may have a view of the ground which has been taken, with respect to the French decree of Nov. 1806, and to the judicial exposition, in the case of the Horizon, adding to it an illegal operation against the United States. I enclose copies of two letters to general Armstrong on these subjects."
"The President made to Congress a few days ago, other communications relating to the present crisis, with Great Britain and France; among which were Mr. Erskine's letter, now enclosed, and a letter from Mr. Champagney to gen. Armstrong, explaining the course meditated by the French government, with respect to the commerce of the U. S. These being excepted from the confidential character attached to the others, have been published, and will be found among the printed enclosures. Your letter of February 26 was included in the communications to congress, but not in the exception."
"The conduct of the two great contending nations towards this country, as it will now appear to it, and to the world, fully displays their mutual efforts to draw the U. S. into a war with their adversary. The efforts, on both sides, are too little disguised to be worthy the discernment of either, and are addressed, moreover, to motives which prove great ignorance of the character of the United States, and, indeed, of human nature."
"From the posture in which Mr. Rose's final reply to the compromise proposed him, placed the question of adjustment, the case of the Chesapeake, it remains with the British government to resume it, if a just settlement be their object. Whether the terms of reparation will be made here, or to you, will also lie on their side. It will certainly be most becoming that government, under all circumstances, to make the reparation here; and this course might, of right, be insisted on by this government. The president, nevertheless, in the liberal spirit which always governs him, authorises you to accept the reparation, provided it be tendered spontaneously; be charged with no condition, unless it be, that on the reception of the act of reparation here, the proclamation of July 2 shall be revoked: and provided the reparation shall add to the disavowal of the attack on the Chesapeake an express engagement, that the seamen retained shall be immediately restored, and that the guilty officer experience an exemplary punishment. The reparation will be the more satisfactory, and not exceed a just expectation, if the restoration of the seamen be made to the very ship from which they were wrested, and if provision be made for the wounded survivors, and for the families of those who lost their lives by the attack."
"I must repeat, however, that it is considered entirely proper, that the reparation should be offered here, rather than in London; and it is only in the event of a decided repugnance in the British government to make it through a functionary here, that you are to accept it there."
"The answer to Mr. Erskine's letter on the British orders will furnish the grounds to be taken in your communications with his government on that subject. If the cabinet can be brought to view the orders in their true light, a revocation of the whole of them cannot fail to take place, unless they mean to violate every maxim of justice, or are fixed in hostile purposes against the United States. In not regarding the orders, indeed, as acts of hostility, and in trusting for redress to the motives & means to which they have appealed, the United States have given the most signal proof of their love of peace, and of their desire to avoid an interruption of it with the British nation."
"Still it is to be understood, that whilst the insult offered in the attack on the American frigate remains unexpiated you are not to pledge or commit your government to consider a recal of the orders as a ground on which a removal of the existing restrictions on the commerce of the United States with G. Britain, may be justly expected."
"The two letters to Gen. Armstrong of the 22nd May, 1807, and February 8th, 1808, are proofs of the sincerity and impartiality with which the President has proceeded in relation to the belligerent parties; and may, perhaps, assist you in representing unjust suspicions imbibed by the British cabinet. It would be happy for all parties, the belligerent, as well as the United States, if truth could in this case be made to prevail; and if the retaliating rivalry of the former against the latter could be converted into an emulation, as politic as it would be magnanimous in both, to take the lead in a fair lawful conciliatory course towards a nation which has done no wrong to either. Should the experiment be made on either side, it would probably be followed on the other; and it could never happen that the side first doing justice would suffer on that account."
"In the present state of our relations to Great Britain it would be premature to mark out the course to be pursued with respect to further negotiations on other topics than those above noticed. You are authorised, however, to continue your interpositions in behalf of our impressed or detained seamen; and in the event of a repeal of the British orders and of satisfactory pledges for repairing the aggression on the Chesapeake, to enter into informal arrangements for abolishing impressments altogether, and mutually discontinuing to receive the seamen of each other into their military or merchant service, conformably to the instructions on this point transmitted by Mr. Purviance."
"You will find by a passage in Mr. Rose's reply of March 17, that the British government does not maintain the principle, that the obligation of the United States extends beyond the discharge of deserters from their public service; and by an order of the Navy Department here, already carried into execution, of which a copy is enclosed, that it has lately been decided that no foreign seamen, whether deserters or not, shall serve on board our ships of war. The principles respectively manifested by these documents ought to facilitate such an adjustment as is contended for by the United States."
[To be continued.]

BY THE LAST MAIL.
Massachusetts Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
NOVEMBER 15, 1808.
The committee appointed to consider "whether it will be expedient for this legislature to adopt any measures with a view to procure a repeal of the laws of the U. S. interdicting to the citizens all foreign commerce, and imposing vexatious embarrassments on the coasting trade; to relieve the people of this commonwealth from their present distressed state, and to arrest the progress of that ruin which threatens to involve all classes of the community," beg leave to report: That the committee perceive with the most serious regret, that the distresses occasioned by the several laws imposing an embargo, have borne with extreme and increasing pressure on the people, and every days experience justifies a belief that a continuance of these laws must soon become intolerable. As measures of coercion, they are now acknowledged to be altogether impotent. They afford satisfaction to France, and are regarded as ineffectual demonstrations of a hostile disposition by Great Britain. Upon our own country their effects are becoming daily and palpably more injurious. The produce of our agriculture, of our forests and our fisheries is excluded, altogether, from every foreign market: our merchants and mechanics are deprived of employment; our coasting trade is interrupted and harassed by grievous embarrassments; and our foreign trade is becoming diverted into channels, from which there is no prospect of its return. The sources of our revenue are dried up, and government must soon resort to direct taxation. Our sailors are forced to expatriate themselves. Strong temptations are offered to systematical evasions of the laws, which tend to corrupt the spirit of honorable commerce and will materially injure the public morals. In fact, the evils which are menaced by the continuance of this policy are so enormous and deplorable; the suspension of commerce is so contrary to the habits of the people, and so repugnant to their feelings and interests, that they must become intolerable, and endanger our domestic peace and the union of these states. As the embargo laws have been the cause of the public distress, your committee are of opinion, that no equal, permanent or effectual relief can be afforded to the citizens of this commonwealth, but by the repeal of these laws. They persuade themselves that the congress of the U. S. must be fully impressed with a sense of the total inefficacy of these laws for any valuable purpose, and of their direct tendency to the most serious consequences. Your committee trust that therefore that congress will not fail to repeal them. In this confidence, therefore, your committee are of opinion, that upon this subject, the legislature should, in its present session, confine itself to a repeated disapprobation of the laws interdicting foreign commerce, and to instruct our senators, and request our representatives in congress to use their utmost exertions to procure their repeal.
Your committee might probably have contented themselves with the preceding remarks, had not the late message of the President of the United States excited the most serious alarm; which in the present critical state of the country they conceive it a duty to express. They perceive with the most painful regret, that in the estimation of the President, our country is now presented with the only alternative of a continued embargo, or a ruinous war; but they cannot hesitate to express their confident belief that the wisdom of the government may yet find means to avoid the necessity of electing between these great public calamities. If, however, this severe necessity exists in regard to Great Britain, they are led by the message to presume it results, in a great measure, if not entirely, from the determination of the executive to adhere to the proclamation of July, 1807, interdicting all British ships of war from the waters of the United States; which has been, and as we infer from the message, is still deemed by the British government, a measure so inhospitable and oppressive, if not hostile in its character, as to form an insuperable obstacle to amicable adjustment.
Upon the delicate and important subject, the committee are far from asserting, that the attack on the frigate Chesapeake did not justify the original issuing of this proclamation, and enforcing it so long as the injury might be presumed to have the sanction of the British government. But as this violation of neutral rights was promptly and explicitly disavowed by the sovereign of the aggressor, before the re-
monstrances or measures of our government could be known; as the right to search our national ships was expressly disclaimed, a special envoy deputed for the professed object of making our government a full, satisfactory and public reparation, on the simple condition of a previous revocation of this proclamation; your committee are constrained to declare their opinion, that such a revocation, under such circumstances, would not have involved any dishonorable concession, or an abandonment of any just right or pretension; but would have been a fair, reasonable, and magnanimous pledge of the sincerity of the wishes of the American government to restore the accustomed relations of peace and amity between the two countries. This course must have compelled the British envoy to have offered that ample and honorable reparation which would have been deemed by our own nation and by the world, an adequate atonement for the outrage; or have justified in the event of his refusal, not only the renewal of the proclamation, but the adoption of measures of the most rigorous and hostile description.
But even on the presumption that the course adopted by the government, in refusing to revoke the proclamation as a preliminary to the adjustment of that controversy, be sanctioned by the usages of nations, and the justice of our claims; your committee are still of opinion that a punctilious adherence to diplomatic forms and precedents should not be maintained at the risk of war, by a nation whose genius and policy are pacific; and which, while justly jealous of the national honor and independence, looks principally to the substantial security of those blessings, and regards as insignificant those petty contentions, which, originating in courtly pride and vanity, frequently terminate in bloody wars. And they therefore think that this proclamation ought not, in the present situation of Europe and this country, to remain as the only, or even as the principal barrier to the restoration of our amicable relations with the British nation.
Your committee therefore ask leave to report the following resolutions:
Resolved , That the senators of this commonwealth in congress be instructed, and the representatives thereof requested to use their most strenuous exertions to procure an immediate repeal of the various laws imposing an embargo on the ships and vessels of the United States, as the only equal and effectual means of affording permanent relief to the citizens of this commonwealth from the aggravated evils which they now experience.
Resolved , That although this legislature would cheerfully support the general government in the prosecution of a just and necessary war, yet they cannot perceive the necessity intimated in the message of the President to congress, of continuing the embargo, or resorting to war; that it is not the policy of the U. States to engage in a controversy with any nation, upon points of diplomatic usage, or equivocal right; provided substantial reparation for injuries can be obtained; and that the revocation of the proclamation interdicting the British ships of war from our waters, ought not, in the opinion of this legislature, to be deemed an inadmissible preliminary, which should obstruct the adjustment of the controversy between the United States and Great Britain.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHINGTON.
Tuesday, November 22.
The house resolved itself into committee of the whole, on the bill authorising the President to employ twelve additional revenue cutters. The committee reported the bill without amendment. Mr. Pitkin moved to postpone its farther consideration till Monday next, but afterwards, on the suggestion of Mr. D. R. Williams, varied it to a motion to re-commit the bill to the committee of commerce and manufactures. After a discussion of about an hour, this motion prevailed—51 to 46.
Mr. C. W. Campbell, from the committee on foreign relations, presented a report on that subject. [The report is of great length, containing a history of belligerent aggression on our rights. He was obliged to read it himself, and it appeared to be a task of no little difficulty. It shall appear tomorrow.] It concluded with three resolutions as follows:
Resolved , That the United States cannot, without a sacrifice of her rights, honor and independence, submit to the late decrees of Great Britain and France.
Resolved , That it is expedient to prohibit by law the admission into the ports and harbors of the United States, all public or private vessels, armed or unarmed, belonging to Great Britain or France, or to any other belligerent who have executed or enforced any decree or order violating the neutral commerce of the United States; and also the importation of any goods, wares or merchandise, the growth, produce or manufacture of either of the said countries, or their dominions, or imported therefrom.
Resolved , That measures ought to be immediately taken for putting the country in a more complete state of defence.
This report was committed to a committee of the whole house, made the order for Thursday next, and 5000 copies ordered to be printed.
Mr. Van Allen offered a resolution instructing the committee of commerce and manufactures to enquire into the expediency of altering the compensation at present allowed the officers of the customs. Carried.
Wednesday, November 23.
The Senate were engaged this day in the discussion of Mr. Hillhouse's resolution for raising the embargo. Mr. Crawford from Georgia, and Dr. Mitchell from N. York, delivered their sentiments in favor of its continuance—they occupied the whole of the time of this day: the Georgia member admitted the injury we sustained from the embargo, but contended that war was the only alternative. It is a remarkable truth, that in debate the democratic gentlemen only recollect the injuries we have sustained from England, and entirely leave out of view the outrages committed on our commerce by France. Dr. Mitchell's remarks were something like what we might expect to hear from a person appointed to deliver a fourth of July oration, who was incompetent to the task, and were, in fact, a tissue of such incomprehensible nothingness as might reasonably be supposed to flow from a man of his theoretical imagination.
The House of Representatives were engaged, in the early part of the day, on business of little importance: about half past twelve the doors were closed, and the house had not adjourned at 4 o'clock. The business supposed to occupy them this day in conclave is a motion by Mr. Randolph for removing the injunction of secrecy from the confidential message of the President at the opening of the session.
A letter from a gentleman arrived at the southward, who left St. Pierres, (Mart.) on the 20th Oct. to his friend in Boston, says, "Considerable alarm was experienced at St. Pierres, on account of the arrival of the British troops at Barbadoes, some said 2000 and others 12000. The French generally believed the Island would be attacked, and it was said the inhabitants were ordered to be ready at a moment's warning. Mr. ----, who was at Martinique, received a letter from his brother in Lucia, under a feigned name, and in French, desiring him to leave the island instantly, but gave no explanation. It is the opinion of every one that the Island will be rigorously blockaded."
Printing in its various branches executed with accuracy and dispatch.
