RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE WORK. "We have had frequent occasion to speak of the diligence, good sense, and good intentions, of Mr. Murray; and we congratulate him sincerely on the success of this particular work. We announce this edition, because the alterations and additions are so considerable, that it is rendered almost a new work." British Critic, July 1801.
"The examples which Mr. Murray has here selected, and the judicious reflections which accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail to make the best impressions, and to produce the best effects, on all who read them with attention. The present edition of this excellent publication, which has been long known and commended, is enlarged by the addition of twenty-two new characters, filling nearly one hundred pages." Anti-Jacobin Review, Jan. 1804.
"We have received the tenth and last edition of this valuable work. The improvements made in it, will appear from the author's advertisement. We can only add to this account of the present useful volume, our hope that it will be extensively circulated among our countrymen." The American Review & Literary Journal, for July, August & September, 1801.
"On reviewing this book, in its improved form, we find the facts unquestionable and highly interesting—the style correct and neat—and the general tendency of the work such as induces us strongly to recommend it, especially to young readers, who love entertainment mingled with instruction." Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1801.
"The rapid sale of this small but valuable collection, has anticipated the commendation we are desirous to bestow. In an exemplification of more than seventy remarkable characters, many striking examples are exhibited which, in the quiet hour of reflection, may contribute to arrest the careless and wandering; to animate the sincere and virtuous; and to convince or discountenance those who have been unhappily led to oppose the highest truths." Gentleman's Magazine, Nov. 1803.

And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg.
Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

TO WILSON C. NICHOLAS, ESQ.
LETTER IV.
SIR,
You say "There is no way in which the British had harassed our commerce more than in the execution of their nominal blockades; upon this point we demanded, and had a right to expect redress: Did the treaty give it to us?" We have heard much of these nominal blockades. The French first raised the outcry, and we have a thousand times re-echoed the strain. Not only so: all the atrocities the French have committed upon us, have been traced to this pretended source, and consequently the whole burden of the ills we endure has been charged upon Great Britain. But, sir, where are the proofs of these nominal blockades? Shew your evidence, and if it be good, then shall we be convinced. You cannot do this. You will tell us that the French and Mr. Madison say so; but their saying so will not do. Let them indicate the facts which go to prove their assertions. Let counter-evidence be admitted, and then, and not ere then, can an impartial judgment be formed. The French, and we have an interest to promote in asserting the fact; the British have an interest in denying it. Who are we to believe? Neither. No, assertions, in such cases, go for nothing; facts, well substantiated facts, are alone conclusive.
But let us see whether by a candid consideration of circumstances, some approaches may not be made towards probable proof, on this important point. I suppose it will be granted, that Great Britain has from seven hundred to a thousand vessels of war afloat, that these vessels are almost altogether employed in blockading the more important harbors of her enemies; yet, with such a force, so employed, can it be believed that her blockades are made like French blockades, only by proclamations? If so, how comes it that her enemies keep so close in? How come our vessels to be captured by mere proclamations? Is it by some strange spell, some devilish incantation, some fascinating power, that these proclamations are enabled to charm our vessels into captivity?
What constitutes a blockade? "Having such a force before the blockaded port, as renders the entrance therein a ifesly hazardous." This is all; and is this so difficult a matter to a people possessing seven hundred ships of war? Is it, with such a force a difficult thing to render the entrance into twenty, thirty, or a hundred ports, "manifestly hazardous?" But I may be told, that some of those ports, said to be blockaded, have been entered by our vessels without any blockading squadron being seen. This may have happened. A strong gale will sometimes drive a ship before it, some from and sometimes on shore. When such events happen, a neutral, or an enemy may slip in; but does the occurrence of such events render the blockade merely nominal, not only at that precise moment, but at all other times prior, and posterior thereto?
Assure yourself that this story of nominal blockades will never go down with any man of candor possessing a grain of common sense, and common information. It is, however, well calculated to gratify the feelings and prejudices of some; and well fitted to raise or keep up in the minds of the ignorant, that hatred of Great Britain, which to inspire, and to cherish seems, unhappily, to be a favorite object with a great proportion of the leaders of the people.
It was, I fear, in pursuance of this holy purpose, that you considered it your duty to state explicitly, that you do not believe it was the intention of Great Britain to give us satisfaction on this point. (The affair of the Chesapeake,) "you add," that she only wished for time to put her colonies in a state of defence! In a state of defence against what?—Against gun boats without crews, and militia without arms? Can you believe, sir, that Great Britain was ignorant of our military, or rather un-military situation?—That our militia, tho' composed of as brave men as other men, were in no state to be led to attack; in no state to face regulars, or storm fortresses? Such was our situation, what was that of Great Britain? I need only say, armed at every point.—This being the case, if she intended war, why should she court delay? or rather why
should she have given us a moment to prepare? To arm, and train our militia; to raise a regular force, to fortify our harbors, to build, and man ships of war, and gun-boats; to collect all that wealth we had floating on the ocean, and which unless for delay she might have made all her own.—These were the certain consequences of delay. She knew it. Yet tho' intending war, as you insinuate, she preferred delay.—When, sir, you sport such assertions, what must we think? We cannot think that you want understanding; the inevitable consequence then is, that we must suppose you think any thing will pass with your constituents; that they are either prepared to swallow camels, or blind enough not to see them.
As to the second part of your assertion, namely, that the British wished for delay "To take the chance of embarrassing us at home, by exciting in the minds of a portion of the American people, a distrust of their own government," admitting the fact to be so, is it strange that they should try to turn against us the same kind of political artillery, with which we have been ever assailing them? Is it not known to our government, is it not known to you, is it not known to every man who knows aught of political affairs, that without the aid of bribes, without the aid of intrigue, without the aid of any sinister art on our part, there is a powerful American party in Great Britain, and Ireland; a party, which, perhaps wisely, perhaps foolishly, is for laying open to us all their ports; for permitting us freely to participate in all their colonial trade; for repealing their navigation act: and in fine, for putting our merchants on a complete footing with their own? On the hopes, fears, prejudices, and opinions of this party, have we not often practised? Yes, and during the Fox administration we might have practised with great success, had not the infernal non-importation act passed in to rouse resentment, and to throw every thing aback.
But, sir, weak and foolish indeed must the British ministers have been, to expect, that our government would meet with any operative embarrassment from any portion of our own people in the execution of whatever project it might adopt against England. For, this, had they not before them the strong evidence of the late proceedings of Congress? Had they not seen that a great majority of that body were prepared to do any thing on executive recommendation; were ready to "fetch and carry"—(this is Mr. Randolph's expression) "at the executive's nod?" Did they not know, moreover, that such were the strong, and general prejudices of the country against Great Britain, that every man, and every fellow who aspired to popular favor, found, or thought it necessary to declaim against that country; to charge her with every hateful crime; and to load her with every epithet that rancor could devise. Knowing these things, could they possibly hope to excite distrust against the federalists, to wound them, and the British with one blow of your two-edged sword.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
A. B.

LONDON, September 17.

DOWNING-STREET, Sept. 16.
A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was received yesterday from lieutenant general sir Hugh Dalrymple, commanding his majesty's troops in Portugal, addressed to lord viscount Castlereagh, one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state, and brought by capt. Dalrymple, military secretary of sir Hew Dalrymple.
HEAD-QUARTERS, CINTRA, September 3, 1808.
MY LORD,
I have the honor to inform your lordship that I landed in Portugal, and took the command of the army on Monday the 22d of August, the next day after the battle of Vimeira, and where the enemy sustained a signal defeat, where the valor and discipline of British troops and the talents of British officers were eminently displayed.
A few hours after my arrival, gen. Kellermann came in with a flag of truce from the French general in chief, in order to propose an agreement for a cessation of hostilities, for the purpose of concluding a convention for the evacuation of Portugal by the French troops. The inclosed contains the several articles at first agreed upon and signed by sir Arthur Wellesley and general Kellermann; but as this was done with a reference to the British admiral, who, when the agreement was communicated to him,
objected to the 7th article, which had for its object the disposal of the Russian fleet in the Tagus, in was finally concluded that lieut. col. Murray, quarter master general to the British army, and gen. Kellermann, should proceed to the discussion of the remaining articles, and finally to conclude a convention for the evacuation of Portugal, subject to the ratification of the French general in chief, and the British commanders by sea and land.
After considerable discussion and repeated reference to me, which rendered it necessary for me to avail myself of the limited period lately prescribed for the suspension of hostilities, in order to move the army forwards, and to place the several columns upon the routes by which they were to advance, the convention was signed, and ratification exchanged on the thirtieth of last month.
That no time might be lost in obtaining anchorage for the transports and other shipping, which had for some days been exposed to great peril on this dangerous coast, and to insure the communication between the army and victuallers, which was cut off by the badness of the weather, and the surf upon the shore, I sent orders to the Buffs and the 42d regiments which were on board transports with sir Charles Cotton's fleet, to land, and take possession of the forts on the Tagus, whenever the admiral thought it proper to do so. This was accordingly carried into execution yesterday morning, when the forts of Cascais, St. Julien's and Bugio, were evacuated by the French troops, and occupied by ours.
As I landed in Portugal, entirely unacquainted with the actual state of the French army, and many circumstances of a local and incidental nature, which doubtless had great weight in deciding the question; my own opinion in favor of the expediency of expelling the French from Portugal by means of the convention the late defeat had induced the French general in chief to solicit, instead of doing so by a continuation of hostilities, was principally founded on the great importance of time, which the season of the year rendered peculiarly valuable, and which the enemy could easily have consumed in the protracted defence of the strong places they occupied, had terms of convention been refused them.
When the suspension of arms was agreed upon, the army under sir John Moore had not arrived, and doubts were even entertained whether so large a body of men could be landed on an open and a dangerous beach; and that being effected, whether the supply of so large an army with provisions for the ships could be provided for, under all the disadvantages to which the shipping were exposed. During the negotiation the former difficulty was overcome by the activity, zeal and intelligence of captain Malcolm, of the Donegal, and the officers and men under his orders, but the possibility of the latter seems to have been at an end, nearly at the moment it was no longer necessary.
Capt. Dalrymple, of the 18th dragoons, my military secretary, will have the honor of delivering to your lordship this dispatch. He is fully informed of whatever has been done under my orders, relative to the service on which I have been employed, and can give any explanation thereupon that may be required.
I have the honor to be, &c.

Translation of the articles for a suspension of arms in Portugal.
Suspension of arms agreed upon between lieut. gen. sir Arthur Wellesley, knight of the order of the bath, on one part, and M. Kellermann, gen. of division, grand officer of the legion of honor, commander of the order of the iron crown, grand cross of the Bavarian order of the lion, on the other part; both invested with full powers by the respective generals of the French and British armies, dated headquarters of the British army, August 22, 1808.
Article 1. There shall be, from the present date, a suspension of arms between the forces of his Britannic majesty and those of his imperial and royal majesty, Napoleon I. in order to treat for a convention, for the evacuation of Portugal by the French army.
2. The gens. in chief of the two armies & the adm. commander in chief of his Britannic majesty's fleet, off the mouth of the Tagus, shall fix upon a day whereon to meet on such point of the coast as shall be thought fit, in order to treat for and conclude said convention.
3. The river Siander shall form the line of demarcation between the two armies: Torres Vedres shall not be occupied by either.
4. The commander in chief of the British army shall engage to include the Portu-
guese armies in this convention, and their line of demarcation shall be from Leira and Thurmur.
5. It is provisionally agreed, that the French army shall in no case be considered prisoners of war; that all those of whom it consists, shall be conveyed to France, with arms and baggage, and all their private property of every description, no part of which shall be arrested from them.
6. No individual, whether native of Portugal, of a country in alliance with France, shall be molested for his political conduct; they shall be protected in their persons, their properties respected, and they shall be at liberty to remove from Portugal with what belongs to them within a stipulated time.
7. The neutrality of the port of Lisbon shall be recognized with regard to the Russian fleet; that is to say, when the British army or fleet shall be in the possession of the city and port, the same fleet shall not be molested during its continuance there, nor obstructed when leaving it, nor followed after it shall have quitted that port, before the time prescribed by the maritime laws.
8. All the artillery of French calibre, as also all the horses of the French cavalry, shall be transported to France.
9. This suspension of arms shall not be broke without 48 hours notice.
Made and agreed upon by the forementioned generals.

Arthur Wellesley, Kellermann, Gen. of Div.

From a French paper.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 31.
This capital has been, since the evening of the 28th, in a state of the greatest consternation. Sultan Selim wished to re-establish the authority of the Porte, and to keep a well paid standing army on foot. It was this which occasioned his fall on the 28th of May, 1807. Mustapha Bairactar, Pacha of Rudschock, a man of the purest intentions, proposed a plan for re-establishing that which the 28th of May had destroyed. He came to Constantinople, with a corps of trusty troops, caused the famous Kavagky Oglou, commandant of the Cattles of the Dardanelles, and chief author of conspiring against Sultan Selim, to be beheaded, the Mufti and all the new ministers of the Sultan Mustapha to be deposed, the Aga of Jannissaries to be strangled, and the most important posts of Constantinople to be occupied by his troops. The Grand Vizier, the new Mufti, and several other members of the Divan, declared themselves the partisans of Mustapha Bairactar.
The Sultan had no suspicion of his project on the contrary, he thought himself so secure that on the 8th inst. he repaired in the morning to Besectach. But the Sultan Modder having got information of it on the 28th, Mustapha returned with all expedition by sea to the Seraglio, whilst the Pacha of Budschuck was entering it by land. The Pacha caused the new Mufti to inform that Selim only was lawful emperor. Mustapha far from following the example given on the 28th May, by his uncle Selim, who voluntarily descended from the throne, ordered the inner gates of the Seraglio to be shut. The soldiers of the Pacha, however, speedily effected an entrance, but they found the unfortunate Selim dead, and covered with blood. Seized with horror at this spectacle, Mustapha Bairactar, and the grandees of the Porte, caused prince Mahomet, the last branch of the reigning dynasty, to be immediately proclaimed emperor. This prince, who is about fifteen years of age, has, for the last 15 months, been confined within the Sultan Selim, who, during that space, instructed him in the art of government.
On the 29th, the unfortunate Selim was buried at Your, by the side of his father. The Pacha of Budschuck, the whole of the army, and all the respectable inhabitants of the capital, attended the funeral. During these melancholy occurrences, the public tranquility was not in the least degree interrupted. The greater part of the assassins of Selim have been executed. We know not whether the deposed Sultan is still living. Some people assert that he has been strangled. Mustapha Bairactar has taken pos-

of the Grand Seal. The Grand Vizier is a prisoner in his camp, for having refused to the Sultan's mother the plan of removing Selim on the throne. There is no doubt but the Pacha will soon be appointed Grand Vizier.
Eleven of the principal partisans of the Sultan Mustapha, were this day strangled in the Seraglio. The Kislär Aga (chief of the eunuchs) who assisted in the murder of Selim, was executed on the 29th.

BALTIMORE, October 24.
On Friday evening last, a laborer, employed by Mr. Spear, was shot through the hand instantly expired. Mr. Spear narrowly escaped; as, about the same time a musket ball passed within a few inches of him. The firing was from the L'Ecole French 74, in the stream. It appears that one of the men (in all seven) who have charge of this ship, have occasionally indulged in firing at a target on shore. This is their own account; the truth will probably be fully developed on trial, as they are in jail. Such was the sensation on the morning, that many of the inhabitants immediately assembled and boarded the ship, whence they carried the seven Frenchmen. We have not heard the name of the deceased.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26.
The session of the General Assembly of the state of Connecticut was opened the 14th inst. at New-Haven, by a speech from Governor Trumbull.
Gov. Trumbull justly observes in his speech, when speaking of the embargo, that the efficacy of this experiment has been fairly tested within our jurisdiction [Connecticut] as perhaps in any part of the U. States. But, amidst heavy and severe injuries to our trade, and many privations to our citizens, we are yet to learn what are its benefits in a national point of view."
Again—when speaking of Spain, he says, "The great events which have lately taken place in Spain, have awakened the serious and anxious attention of all lovers of rational and well grounded liberty, to the national interests and welfare of that much injured, abused and highly spirited people."
The house made choice of the honorable John C. Smith, for speaker, and Lyman and Samuel Rowland, esquires, for clerks.
NEW-JERSEY.
A democratic majority of one has been elected in the council, and six in the other branch of the legislature. In the elections for Congress, and for Electors of President and Vice-President, both being by a general ticket, it is expected the Federalists will nevertheless prevail.
Letters from England mention, that orders are issued to pay off 20 ships of the line and to dismiss out of commission. Among them is named the ship, in which Capt. Douglass has the command. This should seem conciliatory towards us, as this man made the attack on the Chesapeake.— Boston Gazette.
A letter from Liverpool represented the price of cotton as having considerably advanced, with a prospect of its being still higher, as the stock in the market is light. New upland cotton is quoted at 3s. sterling; old at 3s. 3d. to 3s. 9d. and New Orleans 3s. to 3s. 3d.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE REGISTER.
Extract of a letter from a Swedish gentleman in the West-Indies, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated Sept. 3, 1808.
"Aland had been invaded by 900 Russians; but some hundreds of the inhabitants led on by a Clergyman, and an Under-Sheriff, and aided by a Cannon-Ship, took and brought them all to Stockholm. These brave men received kind respects from the public. The king took the clergyman by the hand thanked him, and made him his chaplain—He also promoted the under-sheriff, to a military command."
"The peasants in Finland, have displayed a zealous bravery—In some parts even the women could hardly be dissuaded from fighting."
DEAR BROTHER,
French Prison, Arras, June 6th, 1808. It is with great anxiety of mind I take pen in hand to write you these few lines to inform you that I am well, and as much; but I hope these will find you and all in good health. We sailed from Liverpool the 30th day of November for Spain, where we arrived on the 2d day of January, and took in a cargo for Philadelphia, and sailed the 3d of February, 1808, and was taken the 3d day of March by two French frigates, and carried to Brest, where we stopped five days, and left there the 30th March for Arras, which is six hundred miles in the country, where I arrived on the 3d day of May, after being very badly used in the march; but thank God we are in expectation of being liberated in a few days. No more, but remain your loving brother.

AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES.
From "The Journal of a Tour into the territory north west of the Alleghany mountains."
By the Rev. Thaddeus M. Harris.
"Behind me rises a reverend pile, Sole on this dreary heath a place of tombs, Waste, desolate; where Ruin dreary dwells, Brooding o'er sightless skulls, and crumbling bones."
We went out this morning to examine the ancient monuments about Grave Creek. The town of Tomlinson is partly built upon one of the square forts. Several mounds are to be seen. I think there are nine within a mile. Three of them, which stand adjoining each other are of superior height and magnitude to those which are most commonly to be met with. In digging away the side of one of those, in order to build a stable, many curious stone implements were found; one resembled a syringe; there were also a pestle, some copper heads of an oval shape, and several other articles. One of the mounds in Col. Bygg's garden was excavated in order to make an ice-house. It contained a vast number of human bones, a variety of stone tools, and a kind of stone signet of an oval shape, two inches in length with a figure in relievo resembling a note of admiration, surrounded by two raised rims. Captain Wilson who presented the stone to my companion Mr. Adams, observed that it was exactly the figure of the brand with which the Mexican horses were marked. One of the mounds was surrounded by a regular ditch parapet, with only one entrance. The tumulus was about 12 feet high, and the parapet five.
The 'BIG GRAVE' as it is called, is a most astonishing mound. We measured the perpendicular height, and it was sixty-seven feet and a half. By the measurement of George Villar, Esquire, of Wheeling, it is 68 feet. Its sides are quite steep. The diameter of the top is 55 feet, but the apex seems to have caved in; for the present summit forms a basin 3 or 4 feet in depth. Not having a surveyor's chain, we could not take the circumference, but judged that its base covered more than half an acre. It is overgrown with large trees on all sides. Near the top is a white oak of 3 feet diameter; one still larger grows on the eastern side, about half way down. The mound sounds hollow. Undoubtedly its contents will be numerous, curious, and calculated to develope in a farther degree
the history of the antiquities which abound in this part of our country.
As there are no excavations near the mound, and no hills or banks of earth, we infer that it must have been principally formed of sods skimmed from the surface, or of earth brought from a distance. The labor of collecting such a prodigious quantity must have been inconceivably great. And when we consider the multitude of workmen, the length of time, and the expense requisite to form such a stupendous mound; when we reflect upon the spirit of ambition which suggested the idea of this monument, of great but simple magnificence, to the memory of some renowned prince or warrior, we cannot but regret that the name and glory it was designed to perpetuate, are gone—Lost in the darkness of the grave!
* This singular marking stone is now deposited in Mr. Tarrel's cabinet of curiosities at Boston.

OBSERVATIONS ON SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.
The recent transactions in Europe render it a matter of curiosity to the American people, to be furnished with an historical and geographical synopsis of those kingdoms whose united energies are directed to one common object, and in which we heartily wish them success.
SPAIN, was first peopled by the Celtas , a warlike nation inhabiting the western parts of ancient Gaul. The Phœnicians had colonies in the southern provinces and first introduced civilization into this country. They were followed by the Grecians, after them the Carthaginians and then by the Romans who formed it into a province 16 years before the Christian era. For 400 years they possessed it, but on Constantine withdrawing his forces in order to support the Roman power in the east, it was conquered by the Goths, the Vandals and other barbarous nations, who divided it among themselves. In a short time however the Goths united it under their king Marick, who founded the Spanish Monarchy. The Moors made many desperate attempts to overturn it, but the ancient inhabitants of the soil prevailed, and it has continued united for many centuries. It is divided into fourteen districts, some of which are called kingdoms, and others provinces—and each is governed by a Junta or select number of the nobility, clergy, & laity who are empowered to levy taxes, and regulate all the concerns of their respective districts. These are subject to the Cortes , or Supreme Junta chosen also from the orders and meet generally at Castile, to enact and give force to laws for the government of the kingdom.
The population is estimated at present to be about 12,000,000. Count Aranna, gives the census for 1787 and states that at that period it contained only 10,500,000 Inhabitants.
PORTUGAL is the ancient Lusitania, the Carthaginians and Romans possessed it in succession—after the Vandals and Sueci, were driven from Spain, they conquered the country and established a monarchy. The Spaniards conquered this kingdom under Philip the 2d but it only continued united to the Spanish crown 60 years—In 1640, the people shook off the yoke and elected the duke of Braganza for their king, under the name of John the 4th, in whose family the crown remained until Napoleon put an end to the dynasty, by forcing the heir to seek another kingdom in the Brazils. The population is estimated at 4,000,000 of souls. This peninsula, if I may so call it, lying on the west of Europe is bounded on all sides by the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic ocean, except on the north-east, where it is separated from France by a ridge of mountains called the Pyrenees, which rocky and inhospitable frontier extends from the shores of the Bay of Biscay, to the Mediterranean, a distance of 200 miles. Over these mountains are only five narrow passes into France—which 500 determined soldiers could defend against all the efforts of united Europe. They are the Thermopylae of the country—and without forcing these, Spain can never be invaded by land.
The physical force united against France in these countries, we have already shewn, is 16,000,000 of people—Of these, one tenth are capable to bear arms; their supplies are certain, while England is their ally, and her navy rides triumphant on the ocean. Can we hesitate a moment respecting their final success, when we reflect on the holy cause which animates them to action, and the mountainous face of the country they inhabit. If the ancient Swiss could maintain their liberty with a handful of intrepid patriots against the whole German empire; if the Dutch with not one tenth part of the number of men to support their freedom,
achieved their independence against the embattled legions of the all powerful Philip, shall not Spain and Portugal triumph? Considering their cause, their resources and their local situation, we think there is no doubt that they will, for let us recollect that for a nation to be free it is sufficient that she wills it.
