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 elegant—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."

COPIES AND EXTRACTS
Of Letters from Mr. Pinkney, to Mr. Madison, with enclosures.
MR. PINKNEY TO MR. MADISON.
LONDON, February 23, 1808.
Mr. Canning has just sent me a note, of which a copy is enclosed, relative to an intended alteration, upon the subject of cotton, in their bill for carrying into execution the late orders in council. You will perceive that he lays some stress upon the accidental observations, which (as already explained to you in my letter of the 26th of last month) were drawn from me some time since upon the singularly offensive project of imposing a transit duty upon our cotton. I mentioned to you, in my letter of the 2d instant, that he appeared to have misapprehended the tendency of these observations, and that in a subsequent conversation he shewed a disposition to remove the obnoxious feature from their plan, for the purpose of substituting an absolute interdict of the export of that article, under an idea that we should then cease to object to it; but that I thought it my duty to decline to give him any encouragement to do so, although I agreed, as he seemed to wish it, to mention his disposition to you. A few days ago, he sent for me again, and renewed his proposal of an immediate change with respect to cotton, from a prohibitory duty to a direct prohibition. My answer was the same in substance as it had been before. He then suggested the alternative arrangement, which you will see stated in his note; but, adhering to the determination I had formed upon the first appearance of the orders in council to make no compromise (without precise direction from my government) with the system which they announce, by becoming a party to its details, I received the proposal as I had done the other.
The British government, however, had resolved to adopt the last mentioned plan, whether it received my concurrence or not, upon a presumption that it would be more acceptable to us; and perhaps too, under the idea that it was more defensible than their original scheme; and the purpose of Mr. Canning's note is merely to signify to me, in a manner as friendly and respectful as possible to the U. States, their intention to propose it to parliament. One object of all this is, certainly, to conciliate us, although it may be another, to free their system, as far as they can, from the disadvantage of one of the formidable reproaches which their opponents cast upon it. But the wise and magnanimous course would be, at once, to tread back their steps upon the whole of this ill-judged measure, instead of relying upon small and unsubstantial modifications, which neither produce an effect upon its character and principle, nor mitigate the severity of its practical consequences. I might, if I thought it advisable, take the occasion, which Mr. Canning's note undoubtedly furnishes, to press upon him once more the policy, as well as the justice of such a course; but I believe it, under all circumstances, to be more prudent to wait for your instruction, which must, I think, be very soon received.
I have already had the honor to send you two copies of the resolutions, moved in the house of commons, by the chancellor of the exchequer, as tables of export duties, to which their bill should refer. I have enclosed in another letter, with which this will be accompanied, a copy of this bill itself, which will, however undergo several alterations. Those will be found to be explained (as far as I am acquainted with them) in the letter above mentioned.
I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed) WM. PINKNEY.
Honorable James Madison, Secretary of State.
MR. CANNING TO MR. PINKNEY.
FOREIGN OFFICE, Feb. 22, 1808.
SIR,—I HAVE already had the honor of assuring you, in conversation, of the disposition which is felt by the British government to give due weight to the observations which you have made to me respecting the unfavorable impression likely (in your opinion) to be excited in the U. States, by the duty proposed to be levied upon cotton destined for the use of the enemy, but brought into the ports of this country conformably to the tenor of the orders of council of the 11th November.
You are already apprised that the principle upon which the whole of this measure has been framed, is that of refusing to the enemy those advantages of commerce which he has forbidden to this country.
The simple method of enforcing this system of retaliation, would have been to follow the example of the enemy, by prohibiting altogether all commercial intercourse between him and other states.
It was from considerations of indulgence to neutral trade, that the more mitigated measure of permitting intercourse, under the restraints and regulations of a duty in transitu was adopted; and being adopted with this view, it was not immediately felt by the British government, that there might be a distinction taken by neutral states, with respect to articles, the produce of their soil; and that while the commutation of prohibition into duty was acknowledged as an indulgence, when applied to articles of foreign commerce, of which they were only the carriers, it might be considered as an invidious imposition, when applied to their own productions.
The moment that this distinction has been explained to the British government, they have been desirous of manifesting every attention to it; and if you, sir, had been possessed of the necessary authority from your government, there would have been no difficulty in entering into a specific agreement with you upon the subject. In order, however, to obviate the objection, in a great degree, I have the honor to inform you, that it is intended to be proposed to parliament, that all cotton brought into this country, in conformity to the orders in council, should be absolutely prohibited from being exported to the territories of the enemy. But as you are not prepared to take upon yourself to say, that in no case the option would be acceptable, an option will still be left with the neutral owner, either to acquiesce in the total prohibition, or to re-export the article on the payment of such a duty as parliament may judge it expedient to impose.
I flatter myself, sir, that this alteration in the legislative regulations, by which the orders of council are intended to be carried into execution, will be considered by you as a satisfactory evidence of the disposition of his majesty's government to consult the feelings, as well as the interests of the U. States, in any manner which may not impair the effect of that measure of commercial restriction, to which the necessity of repelling the injustice of his enemies has obliged his majesty reluctantly to have recourse.
I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed)

EMBARGO.
DEBATE on Mr. Hillhouse's motion for a repeal.
[CONTINUED.]
(Mr. Hillhouse's Speech concluded.)
How had they done in times past? Laws had been in force making it unlawful to trade with the Spanish possessions in South America; but we had nevertheless carried on a profitable trade there, and not all the vigilance of Spain could prevent it. Now and then a few of our citizens had been caught and imprisoned, but that had not stopped our trade; nor was it in the power of France and England combined to do it. On this subject Mr. H. said gentlemen took for granted what was not true. France had issued her decree, saying that no vessel should navigate to England or her dependencies. What had been the consequence of this decree? It had not raised insurance five per cent. Had there been no good reason for this? Yes; it was well known that the whole combined navy of France was not able to meet a British fleet on the ocean. The French ships of war therefore could never go out but by stealth, and could not spread over the ocean so as to endanger our commerce. Insurance had therefore been very little affected; and was it worth while to abandon trade with England altogether because France said we must not carry it on? This was revenging ourselves upon them with a witness. After the embargo had been laid—for at that time he affirmed they had no knowledge of the British orders; some newspaper speculations on the subject had appeared, but the orders were not officially communicated by the President till the 4th of February ensuing—what said England? You shall not trade to France, said she, England had it in her power to enforce her decree, and the insurance rising proportionably, the merchant had it in his power to say whether his probable profits would justify his sending a cargo to France under so great an insurance. But he
asked a question now as to our interest simply, excluding other forcible considerations; when it was not in the power of France to enforce her decrees, and it was in the power of England to enforce her orders in a very great extent, would it have been good policy to involve ourselves in a maritime war with England, who had overcome all the combined fleets of Europe, for the sake of defending our trade with France? If any trade cost more than it was worth, Mr. H. said it was our interest to abandon it. But there was another danger attendant on our trade to France, and which had ever attended it— sequestration . American property was very apt to be sequestered; and in enforcing their Berlin decree, the French had thought proper to burn our vessels; and though it had been said that the Berlin decree had never been applied to us before the case of the Horizon, yet vessels had been sequestered in Feb. 1807, sold, and the money retained and would probably never be restored. This sequestration had been practised in the French ports more or less since the commencement of the revolution, and we had never got one dollar as compensation. To be sure, in the treaty of Louisiana, we had been allowed to pay money to our own citizens, but it had never come out of French coffers. Was it worth our while to engage in a war with England to support a trade with France? Mr. H. said no; our interest would not have warranted it. For, notwithstanding all France could do, at a risk of five per cent. we might have had a trade with the British islands, Sweden, Portugal, the East Indies, the British West-India islands and other countries—a profitable trade too. But gentlemen said, would they submit to pay tribute to Great Britain? No. This tribute was but a mere name. They must pay tribute for going from England to France, where they would be captured as a matter of course because they had touched English ground. It was a tribute to be paid in a case which would never happen—a mere nullity. But, said gentlemen, there are American vessels which have gone to England, the embargo notwithstanding, and thence to various ports of the continent, by the aid of false papers. Were they to embark in a conflict to prevent their citizens from doing this? All this smuggling work, where it was not under the sanction of laws of the U. S. reflected no disgrace on the honor of the nation, which was not responsible for it.
If there were nothing that would command the honor of the nation in the way of it, Mr. H. said it would be the interest of this nation to abandon its commerce with France, not only on account of the risk in carrying it on, but on account of the risk after it gets into port. Mr. Armstrong said—but he would not allude to him for fear he should tread on confidential ground; however, accounts had been received from our consuls and merchants, that whenever it suited the convenience of the French nation to lay their hands on American property, they had done it. And therefore he said that our trade to that country was on a very insecure footing indeed.
But, said gentlemen, if they allowed our vessels to trade to England & not to France, it was a submission to her orders and a resignation of our independence: therefore the embargo must be maintained to keep on equal ground. I could never see, observed Mr. H. how the embargo was the means of preserving the honor of the nation. These nations say we shall not trade; and therefore, by an embargo, we destroy our commerce. This is magnanimous indeed. It is a new way of preserving commerce, because foreign nations say we shall not follow it, we say we will abandon it. Do we not comply with the requisition of these nations completely—more than comply; for we surrender all commerce. It is the most tame surrender of our rights.
But, said gentlemen, we must have embargo or war. This, Mr. H. said, had been urged in public debate, in the newspapers, and almost all communications they had received. For his part he could not see how a repeal of the embargo was to involve us in war, except it were, as said last winter, that Bonaparte would have no neutrals; and therefore, if we did not continue the embargo he would declare war against us. Was this a ground on which to surrender commerce and subject all our citizens to inconvenience because he would otherwise declare war? What more could he do than he had done? What more than burn our ships and sequester our property? He could do no more. Why then should they be terrified thus? If war came thus, let it come. Mr. H. said he was not for declaring war against any nation, but he was for authorizing the arming our commerce, for authorizing our merchants to defend those maritime rights which were clear and indisputable; and this would not be war, for no nation, not predetermined to make war, would make war upon us for defending our maritime rights.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT WASHINGTON.
FRIDAY, November 25.
Mr. Elliot offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the President be requested to lay before the House of Representatives a copy of his proclamation respecting the violations of the embargo in the neighborhood of Lake Champlain.—Adopted.
The resolutions laid on the table by Mr. Macon a few days since [see the paper of the 10th instant] were adopted.
Mr. Gardenier, who took his seat to-day, presented a number of petitions from the inhabitants of Ontario county, New-York, praying for a repeal of the several embargo laws. Referred to the embargo committee.
SECRET JOURNAL.
A supplemental journal of such proceedings as during the time they were depending, were ordered to be kept secret, and respecting which the injunction of secrecy was afterwards removed by order of the house.
Tuesday, November 8.
The house being cleared of all persons except the members and the clerk,
A confidential message in writing was received from the President of the U. States, by Mr. Coles, his sec'y who delivered in the same and withdrew.
Wednesday, November 9.
The house being cleared of all persons except the members and the clerk, proceeded in the reading of the confidential message of the president of the U. S. and the accompanying documents received on the 8th instant and went through the same.—The said message is in the words following to wit:
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
The documents communicated with my public message of this day, contain such portions of the correspondencies therein referred to of the respective ministers of the U. S. at Paris and London, as relate to the present state of affairs between those governments and the United States, and as may be made public. I now communicate confidentially such supplementary portions of the same correspondencies as I deem improper for publication, yet necessary to convey to congress full information on a subject of their deliberations so interesting to our country.

not (said he) be willing to go to doubtful rights, as that of the commerce between the mother country and colonies; but our indisputable neutral I am for defending, not abandon-
H. said he thought when the embargo was laid, though perhaps he had been far in the opinion, that it was intended as a permanent measure; that the real object was not what had been expressed in the act, but to put down commerce and manufactures; to convert all our commercial capital into manufactures, and our commercial men into manufacturers; many honest politicians had thought it would be a practicable and useful and beneficial plan, though the contrary had ever been his opinion. In confirmation of his opinion, Mr. H. said, when they looked on official and other publications which bore the stamp of authority, or were considered as being approved by the constituted authorities of the country, they were told that the agriculturist and manufacturer should be planted side by side, and that they should sit at their own doors clothed in their own manufactures of those articles which they had before received from others. These ideas could never be realized but by abandoning commerce.
Mr. H. here went at some length into a discussion on the subject of manufactures, using arguments tending to demonstrate that large manufactures are as unsuitable to the genius of a free people, as to the peculiar habits of the people of the United States.
Mr. H. said no man was more desirous to obey the laws of his country than he was, but in a free country laws could not be forced down. Either by force or in some other way the people would get rid of a disagreeable law. They always had and always would do it. Therefore attempting this system was prostrating the dignity of the government and teaching the people to trample on the constituted authorities. He wished to see the magistracy of a free country omnipotent in its laws; but if by projects of this kind the people were driven to opposition they would not confine themselves to the constitutional remedy, but feeling their power would exercise it with violence.—Therefore, when a measure was found not to operate right, they should retreat, and they might do it with a good grace, for it would be for the honor of the nation that they should retrace their steps.
Mr. H. said he imagined some ulterior steps might be proper if the embargo were raised; but on conversing with members, he had found so many different opinions to prevail, that he had not coupled any thing with this. When the embargo should have been done away, no doubt the councils of the nation would come to some result and adopt some measure which would take its place. For all these reasons, Mr. H. concluded by saying that he was clearly of opinion, that his resolution should be adopted, and the embargo repealed.

Valuable Family Medicines. The following well known genuine Medicines, from Hannah Lee's patent Medicine store, New York, are constantly kept for sale by  James Kennedy, sen. BOOKSELLER, KING-STREET, And no where else in Alexandria.
Prevention better than Cure. FOR the prevention and cure of Piles and Malignant Fevers , is recommended HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS , prepared (only) at Lee's patent Medicine store , No. 86 Maiden Lane. This medicine has, for nine years past, been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern states, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places has been adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature, speak more in favor of a medicine than columns of pompous eulogy founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason that can result from extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks, during the prevalence of our bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the early stages of these diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate, and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite, produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences. A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness at the stomach and a severe headache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured, and carefully preserved by every seaman.
From one to three or four of the pills are a dose which may be repeated as circumstances require. In sickly times or places, a dose should be taken every fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, it may be taken once a week.
Certificate of Mr. Wm. Devenney. During the last nine years, I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, headache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my headache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints. Yours, &c. WM. DEVENNEY , No. 145, Cherry street, New York.
Hamilton's Grand Restorative, Recommended as an invaluable Medicine, for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any destructive intemperance, the unskilful or destructive use of mercury, the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life, bad layings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions and lowness of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weakness, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate gleet, fluor albus, or whites, impotence, barrenness, &c. &c.
Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. Which there is reason to believe, have, within eight years past cured upwards of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from WORMS and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.  Hamilton's Elixir, For Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, Sore Throats and approaching Consumptions.
HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE  GERMAN CORN PLAISTER, An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them root and branch without giving pain.  The Genuine Persian Lotion.  The Restorative Powder for the Teeth and Gums.  Hahn's Genuine Eye Water. A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes.  ITCH OINTMENT, Warranted to cure by once using, and to be free from Mercury or any pernicious or offensive ingredient, &c. may with perfect safety be applied to the youngest infant. Hannah Lee, Patent Medicine Store, New York, Sept. 10, 1808.
ALSO, The following new and valuable Medicine, just received and for sale as above. (Price, Two Dollars per bottle.)  Dr. Tissot's celebrated Gout and Rheumatic Drops.
NOTHING is of more importance than the preservation of health—this common lapse remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN, whilst we are active and strong—and prevention of pain, which is superior to its cure, is not sufficiently attended to by any description of persons. Among those disorders which require the most early and unremitting efforts to eradicate and overcome, none have a stronger claim upon our notice than the Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Weakness of the Joints, Sprains, Gleet, the Stone and Gravel, the Cramp and every species of Rheumatic Pains from whatever cause they may have originated—and hence every relief which can be administered is too valuable to be forgotten.—Those persons whose avocations peculiarly expose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious always to possess immediate aid. Sea-faring persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to carry with them that medicine which will counteract the unpleasant effects of their perilous duties, and especially those pains to which their situation must expose them. To those who reside in or visit the West-Indies, and their warm climates, they will be found upon trial to convey the most lasting service, and will gradually destroy all tendency to disease in the human frame, and preserve health and vigor. Although a great variety of prescriptions have been published to cure the disorders enumerated above, none has yet equalled the GOUT AND RHEUMATIC DROPS of DR. TISSOT , which are celebrated throughout the European continent, and whose unbounded benefits are fully authenticated by certificates already published of gentlemen so well known in America, being of the first consequence in the state of Maryland: General Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; John Gibson, Esq. one of the directors of the Farmers' Bank of Maryland; John Macubbin, Esq. Mrs. Macubbin, his wife; and Mrs. Ryan, of Calton.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Kelso, butcher. About three weeks since I was most violently attacked with Rheumatic pains throughout my whole frame, in so severe a manner as not to be able to turn in my bed without assistance proceeding as I suppose from a severe cold to being advised by a friend to apply Dr. Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, I accordingly obtained from the agents Messrs. George Dobbins and Murphy, two bottles, the application of which, under God, have perfectly restored me to health. I am therefore induced with confidence to recommend this medicine as a certain cure for the above disorder.  THOMAS KELSO. Baltimore, July 22d, 1806.
Certificate of Mr. Thomas Campbell, Harness-maker. It would be an act of injustice to withhold my testimony of the salutary effects of Doctor Tissot's Gout and Rheumatic Drops, as I have experienced a very unequivocal instance of their virtues and efficacy. I was afflicted with two severe attacks of what is usually called Dead Palsy, from which I partially recovered, but was obliged to use crutches to aid me in walking when I left home; to this were joined violent Rheumatic pains, the result of the affliction, and I had feared the disorder would accompany me through life; but providentially was recommended to apply at George Dobbins and Murphy's for Dr. Tissot's Drops, and after using only one bottle, found myself perfectly liberated from my disorder, and am now, thank God, as free from pain as if I never had been afflicted. Finding this medicine operate so powerfully on myself, I determined to apply it internally to my child, a boy only eleven months old, who was then reduced almost to a skeleton with the Bowel Complaint; after administering it four times to him, his complaint was entirely removed, and he is now recovering his strength with great rapidity.
