"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 advertisements.

COPIES AND EXTRACTS
Of Letters from Mr. Pinkney, to Mr. Madison, with enclosures.
Mr. Pinkney to Mr. Canning. Great Cumberland Place, February 23, 1808.
Mr. Pinkney presents his compliments to his excellency Mr. Canning, and has the honor to acknowledge the receipt of his note of yesterday, relative to an alteration on the subject of cotton, in the legislative regulations, by which the late orders in council are intended to be carried into execution, which Mr. Pinkney will hasten to transmit to his government.
Mr. Pinkney requests Mr. Canning to accept the assurances of his high consideration.
Extracts of a letter from Mr. Pinkney to Mr. Madison.
LONDON, May 9, 1808.
I had a conversation with Mr. Canning on Friday last, in consequence of the arrival of the Osage.
As it was obviously expected that I should seek an interview with him, I went to Downing street on the 5th with that object. He had been indisposed, and was not at the office; but in answer to a note which I sent him in the evening, he asked to see me next day at his house in Bruton street.
The Osage had for some time been looked for with considerable anxiety, and the government had apparently anticipated a communication (and perhaps a proposal) of some importance from me, as soon as my dispatches should be received. As I had in fact no communication to make, it seemed to be proper that I should render the disappointment of as little moment as possible, by the manner of announcing it, without, however, putting any thing to hazard by an indiscreet manifestation of unnecessary solicitude.
The true state of the case, as far as it relates to say on this occasion, appeared to be very well received; and if any disagreeable impression was left on the mind of Mr. Canning, it certainly was not visible. A feeling of regret was perhaps perceptible, and a hope was intimated that the time was not far distant when I should be enabled to do what at present was out of my power; but nothing occurred which could be construed into a symptom of impatience, jealousy, or dissatisfaction. There was undoubtedly no real ground for any thing of this sort; but it was, notwithstanding, quite possible that the importance which it had become a habit to attach to the arrival of the Osage, from circumstances principally accidental, might have produced a disposition to think otherwise.
I thought it advisable to make use of this opportunity (although the topic was in many views more delicate than it had been) to suggest the propriety of yielding, as the moment was sufficiently favorable to such a course, upon the subject of the late orders in council, of which I had seen nothing to change my original opinion. There was reason to apprehend, however, that it might be worse than useless to press the suggestion, upon my own authority merely, while I could say nothing of the French decrees; and accordingly I forbore to do so.
An idea has evidently gone forth since the Osage arrived, founded upon rumors of a doubtful description, that our relations with France have grown to be extremely precarious, and that we are consequently about to come to an understanding of a very friendly kind with Great Britain. It is not improbable that the government has, in some degree at least, adopted this idea.
I have the honor to enclose a copy of a notification, recently received from Mr. Canning, of the blockade of Copenhagen, and of the other ports in the Island of Zealand, which I have caused to be communicated in the usual manner to our consuls and citizens.
There being no particular inducement for detaining the Osage, lieut. Lewis, who will be charged with my letters, will leave town the day after to-morrow, and the ship will sail as soon after he reaches Falmouth as possible.

EMBARGO.
DEBATE on Mr. Hillhouse's motion for a repeal. [CONTINUED.]
Mr. Bradley moved the postponement of the further consideration of the subject till to-morrow. A committee had been appointed by the house on this subject, and the present agitation of the subject must paralyse the proceedings of the committee, if not operate against its total dissolution.
Mr. Hillhouse said that he had no objection that the subject should be postponed till to-morrow, but the reason the gentleman had given for it was a very extraordinary one, for when an objection had been made to the appointment of this committee it had been answered that its appointment would not at all interfere with his [Mr. H's] resolution; upon which ground no opposition had been made to the appointment of a committee.
Mr. Pope said it had been his opinion this morning that this resolution should have been referred to that committee, but after what had been said it was his wish that some commercial gentlemen, whose knowledge of commercial subjects would enable him to explore the wide field taken by the gentleman from Connecticut, would have answered him. He had hoped at this session, after the presidential election was decided, that all would have dismounted from their political hobbies, that they would have been all federalists, all republicans—all Americans. When they saw the ocean swarming with pirates, and commerce almost annihilated, he had hoped that the demon of party spirit would not have reared its head within these walls, but that they would all have mingled opinions and consult the common good. He had heretofore been often charmed with the matter of fact argument of the gentleman from Connecticut; but on this day the gentleman had resorted to arguments from newspapers, and revived all the old story of French influence, in the same breath in which he begged them to discard all party feelings and discuss with candor. The gentleman had gone into a wide field which Mr. P. said he would not now explore, but begged time till to-morrow, when he would endeavor to shew to the nation & to the world that the arguments used by the gentleman in favor of his resolution were most weighty against it. If patriotism had departed the land, if the streams of foreign corruption had flowed so far that the people were ready to rise in opposition to their government, it was indeed time that foreign intercourse should cease. If the spirit of '76 were no more, if the spirit of commercial speculation had surmounted all patriotism—if this was the melancholy situation of the U. States, it was time to redeem the people from this degeneracy, to regenerate them, to cause them to be born again of the spirit of '76. But he believed he should be able to shew that the proposition of the gentleman from Connecticut hardly merited the respect or serious consideration of this honorable body. Mr. P. said he had expected, that in advocating his resolution, the gentleman would have told the senate that we should go to war with Great Britain and France; that he would have risen with patriotic indignation and have called for a more efficient measure. But to his surprise the gentleman had risen, and with the utmost sang froid told them, let your ships go out; all's well; and nothing to be apprehended. Mr. P. said he would not go into the subject at this moment; he had but risen to express his feelings on the occasion. He wished the subject postponed the more, because he wished to consult a document just laid on their table, to see how the memorials presented a short time ago from those whose cause the gentleman from Connecticut undertook to advocate, accorded with the sentiments he had this day expressed for them.
Mr. Hillhouse said he should have been much gratified if the gentleman from Kentucky had confined his remarks to argument without making a personal attack on him. Mr. H. said he had arraigned no party, charged none with party views or corruption. He could not see where the gentleman found ground for personality; for Mr. H. said he never did use it himself, nor ever would.
Mr. Lloyd said as this was an exceedingly interesting subject, and had been ten days before the house, and put off with as much civility as possible to accommodate gentlemen, he wished that the subject might progress in regular discussion, not expecting, however, that it would be decided to-day or to-morrow.
Mr. S. Smith said that if the hon. gentleman last up had a design to give a view of the subject, such as it deserved, he should be glad to hear him. The gentleman was capable of giving a correct view of the subject, and perhaps had prepared his mind on it. Mr. S. confessed his own negligence in not being prepared; but if the gentleman from Massachusetts would give a commercial view of the subject, he hoped the gentleman from Vermont would withdraw his motion.
Mr. Lloyd said that this was so interesting a subject that he could not be silent on it. Whether he should give that chaste view of the subject of which the gentleman from Maryland was capable, he could not say. If the Senate would indulge him, however, he would express those ideas which immediately occurred to him on the subject.
Mr. Bradley withdrew his motion for postponement.
Mr. Lloyd said he considered the subject now under discussion as one of the most important which had occurred since the adoption of the constitution. He considered it as deeply implicating the commerce of our country—a commerce, which had afforded employment to nearly a million and a half of tonnage; which had afforded sustenance to many thousands of citizens; which had furnished to the government a great support; which disposed of an amount of exports equal to one hundred millions of dollars, an amount three times as great as was possessed by the greatest commercial nation in the world at the commencement of the present century, an amount of exports equal to that of G. Britain within 15 years of this day—a commerce not to be trifled with, not to be offered up as the victim of fruitless experiment. No doubt it has been much harassed by the conduct of the two belligerents, but in a very different manner by each. Look at one contending as if for universal dominion, the other as for her natale solum. One professes reluctance at measures which she takes in retaliation on her enemy; the other treats you cavalierly, undertakes to legislate for you, tells you she considers you at war with her enemy, arrests your property and retains it till she knows whether you servilely echo submission to her mandates. No doubt, Mr. L. said, the conduct of the belligerents had caused the embargo; but if it should be found that it was fraught with mischief to ourselves, and productive of no beneficial effects, it ought to be withdrawn.
Mr. L. said he considered the motion as a measure of self-preservation, and that measures might be taken if this passed; and he trusted that gentlemen who advocated a repeal of the embargo, might not be considered as opposed to measures tending to promote the independence of the nation.
He considered this measure in three points of view:
1. Affording protection to our commerce and navigation. 2. As a coercive measure on France and G. Britain. 3. As to its effects present and future on ourselves.
Mr. L. said as to the first point he should make but a few observations. He was not disposed to indulge in retrospections. If the embargo had been a wise and efficient measure, he was willing to leave to those who supported it all the credit to which it would entitle them. With regard to the security afforded our seamen, it had produced an effect precisely contrary to that calculated upon: because it was well known that the seamen were daily leaving the country in great numbers. And as to navigation, it was not very material whether our vessels should have been sunk in the ocean or should rot at our wharves. In the one case they suffered destruction by a coup-de-grace; in the other, by long protracted torments.
With regard to its effect on foreign nations, what had been its effect on France?—The gentleman from Connecticut had told them truly that in his expose the French minister calls it a wise measure; and Mr. L. said he had reason to believe that, in a late conversation between Mr. Livingston and the Emperor at Bayonne, the latter had approved it and wished its continuance. So long as Great Britain possessed her extreme preponderance of naval force, she would enjoy commerce; and the emperor would sacrifice his share of our commerce if he could effect the destruction of the much larger and more valuable portion of Great Britain.
With regard to its effects on Great Britain, what were they? For two months after its adoption it had been a subject of great alarm there. Engaged in an extensive commerce with this country, prosecuted on liberal terms, she had viewed it with alarm, whether considered as a measure of hostility or as a municipal regulation; and having
been taught by her political writers that the West-Indies depended on the United States for support, it had been for two months an object of solicitude. No doubt the ministry had partaken of this feeling. Indeed, so late as June, it had induced our minister to Great Britain to believe, and to make known his belief to this country, that all our differences would be settled. But the evil effects of this measure had been tested, and the British ministers had found that it was a measure which they need not fear. They had found that the West-India merchants were able to raise supplies for themselves. They had also found an unexampled prosperity of their American colonies, Canada and Nova Scotia; that the usual order of things was reversed; that instead of the American merchant making his fortune by British commerce, the British merchant was making his fortune by American commerce. It was well known that immense quantities of produce had been exported in defiance of the laws, which the British merchants, from there being little competition, had bought at a low price; and this process enabled the British merchant, without capital but with extensive credit, to make an immense profit from this trade.
About this time had taken place the revolution in Spain. The British ministry had been too clear sighted not to see their own advantage, and therefore without any sordid stipulations, had made a common cause with her, that, if the Spaniards succeeded, they might get commercial footing in Europe; and whether they succeeded or not, their American colonies would become independent, and rely for protection on the navy of Great Britain. 'Twas then that the embargo had ceased to be a matter of regret. The ministry had conceived correctly that it would not be advantageous to them to have competition, for they knew that the capital and spirit of America would enable her to carry on as extensive a commerce as the British could with Spain and her colonies. Instead of dreading the embargo, they now wished to keep it on. If, instead of having competition in the market, they could keep it to themselves, they certainly would reap a grant of exclusive commercial privileges. This measure would be worth more to them, if kept on for two or three years, than their whole system of navigation laws.
Some gentlemen might argue that Great Britain could be coerced by difficulties among her manufacturers or by a scarcity of harvest. Ever since he had first heard of Great Britain, he had heard of commotions among her manufacturers; but time had dissipated all apprehensions from them. Suppose, however, for the sake of argument, that we should be enabled to bankrupt her principal manufacturers. Why, in less time than we could make bankrupts of five hundred of her principal manufacturers, we should break at least as many principal merchants in our commercial cities. Suppose by these bankruptcies 50,000 workmen should be thrown out of employment. These people would not starve, nor would they instantly become nonentities. No; they would be absorbed in the army and navy; and thus, by putting under their complete control 50,000 of the most turbulent citizens, said Mr. L. you add in reality to the strength of that nation, and give her the means of extending and supporting her naval dominion.
As to calculations on the harvest, all calculations of this sort must be idle in the extreme. Gentlemen must be very little acquainted with the situation of the country to entertain them for a moment. Mr. L. said that he found by advices from Great Britain that American flour, after nine months embargo, was selling in G. Britain at 47 shillings per barrel. By the prohibiting of trade to the continent sugar and molasses had become a mere drug in Great Britain. The colonial interests, alarmed at this, had applied to Parliament for a bill to substitute sugar and molasses in the place of grain for distilleries, and thus insure a double benefit. This had been opposed by the landed interest on the ground that the introduction into the market of so great a quantity of grain as had formerly been used in manufactures, would reduce its price so much that it would not compensate the farmer for his labor. It had obtained however. Thus it might be seen that they would not starve Great Britain.
It might possibly be suggested that the raising of the embargo would operate no advantage to the United States as respected Spain and Portugal; that this commerce might be considered inconsiderable, and as a trade that would be unjustly prosecuted as respected the different portions of the union. Spain & Portugal were not grain countries, but produced wines, fruits, &c. depending on other countries, among which were the United States, for grain. In their present situation they could get it better

from the United States than elsewhere. In Spain and Portugal, as in other Catholic countries, at certain seasons of the year, their religious creed bade them abstain from flesh, for which they in general substituted fish. This would come from the northern country and the flour from the middle and southern portion of the union. It was therefore apparent that no commerce could be prosecuted which would benefit the people of the United States so equally. And the commerce to those countries consumed about twenty millions of our exports. The effects of this measure on ourselves gentlemen could best state, as they occurred within the immediate circle of their own knowledge. So far as he had seen, Mr. L. said it was a measure fraught with mischief, breaking down the spirit of the people instead of preserving it; inviting foreign aggression instead of repelling it; bearing hard on the commercial and navigating interest, and exciting opposition which might be attended with disastrous consequences. The human mind was such, that without an absolute conviction of good to result from an oppressive measure, the people would not bear it. You will perceive their disaffection in memorials first, said Mr. L. in public meetings next, until the spark of disaffection is fanned into a flame which may spread wide devastation around, and overturn the liberties of the country. It had not yet come to this pitch and he hoped it would not. He believed there was one mode of preventing of it, and that was by a removal of the embargo. For this as well as many other reasons he felt anxious that the resolution on the table should prevail, and this oppressive measure be removed. A motion was now made for adjournment and negatived. (Debate to be continued.)
NEW-YORK, November 25. Arrived, brig Mary, Fairchild, 28 days from Point Petre, Guadalupe. Eight days before sailing, the ship Alligator, arrived there from Baltimore, with 1700 barrels of flour, the crew having raised upon the captain two days out and ordered him to Guadalupe, and going in not ashore, and lost his rudder. Vessels left were reported by the Ann-Louisa. Nov. 1, lat. 22, long. 64, spoke the British ship Queen, from Liverpool for Jamaica.
The following letter from capt. Hamilton, of the Lord Hobart Packet, we received from Halifax by Mr. Howe. Captain H's statement has been submitted to the perusal of commodore Rogers and Decatur, of the navy, who have made the correction which appears in the subjoined note. HALIFAX, 29th Oct. 1808. Messrs. Lang & Turner,
As many false rumors have gone abroad respecting the stoppage of the Lord Hobart Packet by the Chesapeake frigate, I shall be much obliged to you to publish the following real account of the whole transaction.
I am yours, &c. ALEX. HAMILTON. Detention of the British Packet Lord Hobart, by the United States frigate Chesapeake.
The Lord Hobart sailed from N. York the 11th Oct. at 5 P. M. The same day a boat from the Chesapeake frigate boarded her off Staten Island, with an officer on board; the American officer demanded of captain Hamilton if he had a clearance from the Custom-house? Capt. H. replied, that being a government ship, he never cleared from any custom-house; the American officer then demanded to see capt. H's commission; to which captain H. replied, that he could not with propriety shew his commission to any officer acting under a foreign power: the American officer then said that the ship could not be permitted to pass; upon which captain H. answered, that in that case he would come to an anchor, and he immediately ordered the pilot to bring the ship to an anchor, which was instantly done. Capt. Hamilton then left the ship under the command of the master, and went up in his boat to New York, and laid the above statement before his Britannic majesty's consul, col. Barclay; col. Barclay wrote a letter to the captain or commanding officer of the Chesapeake, regretting the detention and unprecedented demand that had been made: the officer commanding on board the Chesapeake said that it exceeded his power to give any answer to the remonstrance of col. Barclay, but that he would immediately forward it to the commander in chief at New York, and would give capt. H. the earliest information of the result of the instructions he should receive. At 9 A. M. Oct. 13th, a boat came along side from the Chesapeake with an officer; the American officer said that the Commodore was satisfied the Lord Hobart was a packet,
and that the demand of the commission was waved; but that there was a suspicion a large quantity of specie was secreted on board; capt. H. replied, that there certainly was specie on board, but he did not believe more than was sufficient for the expenses of the respective owners.*
* The remark made by the officer of the Chesapeake to capt. Hamilton, was, that information had been lodged on board the Chesapeake that a considerable sum of specie was on board the packet—he therefore required of capt. Hamilton and his passengers, a declaration on their honor, whether there was any such sum of specie on board or not. The reply was, that there was not more specie on board than was sufficient to defray their expenses.
We understand from Halifax that this transaction has been laid before admiral Warren and sir George Prevost, who have made their respective reports to the British government.

MONDAY, November 28. Mr. Nelson offered a resolution, appointing a committee to enquire what provision ought to be made for infirm and superannuated officers and soldiers, which was adopted. Mr. G. W. Campbell asked for the order of the day on the report of the committee of foreign relations, and the report is now reading. 12 o'clock.
I have known a child who had carelessly stumped his own toe against a stone, turn about with the utmost resentment and fury and abuse and beat his companions, as tho' responsible for the injury he had received. Just such is now the situation of our embargo men here. They have fairly broken their own chins against this strong measure, and now, instead of applying a plaster to the sore, they fall into a most furious passion and revile and abuse those who cautioned them to beware. (U. S. Gaz.)
The following sea vessels are now in the port of New-York, viz.    Ships 231   Brigs 130   Schooners 90   Total 451 
The tonnage of the above vessels probably amount to 85,000 tons; and would require to navigate them, at least 4700 seamen. Besides, there are still in the fresh water rivers a great number of vessels of all descriptions, more out of the danger of worms than the above. The whole, however, are rotting.
It may be added, that if the embargo was now raised, there could not be found more than two seamen for each vessel; this useful class of men having deserted their country to earn bread. Let wiser heads calculate on the effects of the embargo in other points of view—all of which will shew, that we live under the wisest administration in the world!!! (N. York Gaz.)
RHODE-ISLAND ELECTORS. The hon. Thomas P. Ives, Christopher Fowler, James Rhodes, and Thomas Noyes, Esqrs. have been elected Electors of President and Vice-President from Rhode-Island. The federal majority in this election made throughout the state, and distinctly expressing the opinions of the people, with regard to their political concerns, was near four hundred votes.
The schooner Packet-Ann, Captain Kelly, has arrived at Boston, in 4 days from Halifax. A gentleman, with whom we have conversed, who came passenger in the above schooner informs us, that the evening before sailing, a vessel arrived at Halifax from Barbadoes, with dispatches from Admiral Cochrane, the contents of which were not known. News had reached Halifax as late as the first of October from Cadiz, at which time the Patriots were successful against the French. The November Packet had not arrived from Halifax. A large expedition, of which, it is said, General Prevost is to take the command, was nearly ready for sea, but its destination not known. General Hunter is to succeed General Prevost at Halifax, during his absence. New York Paper.
The intention of the expedition fitting out at Halifax, is probably to assist in the attack upon Martinique and Guadalupe. It ap-
pears that advice of what was going on in that quarter, had been dispatched by express to Halifax; and if this conjecture is realised we may daily expect to hear of the troops sailing. Martinique would perhaps fall, without much resistance, as its inhabitants are generally attached to the British; and both islands lie under the temptation of preferring an open trade and the receipt of supplies, to their allegiance to France, coupled, as it must be, with the privation of foreign intercourse, during the war and our embargo. North American.
What would be said of a farmer, whose residence was within the neighborhood of a den of wolves, if he should withhold from his workmen the use of such weapons as might in case of attack, enable them to preserve their lives; or who should leave their flocks to perish or to starve in their fold, though the surrounding fields were rich with verdure, because some trifling expence might be incurred in protecting their feeding ground, or some danger in guarding them? The answer is obvious.
POETRY. [Our correspondent in London, among other valuable communications, has forwarded us the following elegant and pious effusion of an illustrious statesman. He assures us that it is the only copy which had appeared at the date of his letter, September 21.]—North American.
THE MANSION OF REST. The following lines were written by a British statesman of celebrity, supposed to be the late hon. Charles J. Fox.  I TALK'D to my flattering heart, And chid its wild wandering ways; I charg'd it from folly to part, And to husband the rest of its days; I bade it no longer admire, The meteors that fancy had drest; I whisper'd 'twas time to retire, And seek for a MANSION OF REST.
A Charmer was list'ning the while, Who caught up the tone of my lay; "O come, then," she cried with a smile, "And I'll shew you the place & the way:" I follow'd the witch to her home, And vowed to be always her guest; "Never more," I exclaim'd, "will I roam In search of the MANSION OF REST."
But the sweetest of moments will fly, Not long was my fancy beguil'd, For too soon I confess'd with a sigh, That the Syren deceiv'd while she smil'd. Deep, deep did she stab the repose Of my trusting and unwary breast, And the door of each avenue close, That led to the MANSION OF REST.
Then Friendship entic'd me to stray, Tiro' the long magic wiles of romance, But I found that she meant to betray, And shunk from the Sorcerer's glance. For Experience has taught me to know, That the soul that reclind on her breast, Might toss on the billows of woe, And ne'er find the MANSION OF REST.
Pleasure's path I determined to try, But Prudence I met in the way, Conviction flash'd light from her eye, And appear'd to illumine my day. She cry'd—as she shew'd me a grave, With nettles and wild flowers dress'd, O'er which the dark Cypress did wave, "Behold there the MANSION OF REST."
She spoke—and half vanish'd in air, For she saw mild Religion appear, With a smile that would banish Despair, And dry up the penitent tear. Doubts and fears from my bosom were driven, And pressing the Cross to her breast, And pointing serenely to Heaven, She shew'd the true MANSION OF REST.
