[The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extract from the Critical Review, April 1791, p. 468. It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity...
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whenever it were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced. In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the realists of either party. But when time shall dissipate the cloud of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive. EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 32.

CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
January 2d, 1795.
Debate on Mr. Giles motion respecting Titles. (Continued.)
Mr. Madison, when the amendment was first suggested, had considered it as highly proper, and naturally connected with the subject. No man can say how far the Republican revolution that is now proceeding in Europe will go. If a revolution was to take place in Britain, which for his part he expected and believed would be the case, the peerage of that country would be thronging to the United States. He should be ready to receive them with all that hospitality, respect and tenderness to which misfortune is entitled. He should sympathize with them, and be as ready to afford them whatever friendly offices lay in his power, as any man. But this was entirely distinct from admitting them as citizens of America. before they were constitutionally qualified to become so. In reply to the remark of Mr. Boudinot that a renunciation of their titles might injure their families, Mr. Madison observed, that if a British revolution took place, these fugitives would, as aliens, be incapacitated from holding estates. In discussing this question, we had been reminded of the Marquis de la Fayette. He had the greatest respect for that character, but if he were to come to this country, this very gentleman would be the first to recommend and acquiesce in the amendment on the table. He had urged the necessity of utterly abolishing nobility in France, even at a time when he thought it necessary for the safety of the State that the king should possess a considerable portion of power: and Mr. Madison believed that if he were now at freedom, he was as completely stripped of every thing relative to nobility, as it was possible that he could be. It had been said that it was needless to make emigrants renounce their rank, and that oaths were no security. He was ready to allow, that oaths were in any case but a very poor security; but they had been adopted in other parts of the bill, and the same reason which recommended them on former occasions might recommend them now.
Mr. Giles said that there had been an echo from one end to the other of the House that his amendment was trifling. Was it consistent for the gentleman who had been up for half an hour to spend so much time upon a question, and then conclude by telling the House that it was nothing; that he had been talking for so long a time upon a subject that did not merit their attention? What kind of reasoning was this, or how did the gentleman propose to reconcile it? Was it consistent with the warmth which had been discovered, to say that all this discussion, all this length of time had been consumed upon nothing? But this kind of language had something more serious in it, for this prohibition of nobility formed one of the pillars of the constitution, so that to call a principle recognized and affirmed by the constitution, a trifle or nothing, and so on, was a very unguarded proceeding. Another notable argument against agreeing to this amendment has been that the people already detested nobility to the last, that it was not worth while to pass this amendment, as their hatred of it would put an end to it without a law. It was odd enough that the two principal reasons against his amendment were, first, that it was authorized by the constitution, and secondly, that it would be agreeable to the people. It is strange that the will of the people who sent us here is to have no influence in this House, but is to be turned into an argument against passing a law! Mr. Giles would adhere to his amendment, because, as the law now stands, there is nothing to hinder a foreigner with a title to become an American citizen, and obtain a seat in the House, and hold both his office and his title. Mr. Giles next answered a part of the speech of Mr. Smith which had been less distinctly heard, but we understood the reasoning to have been to this effect, that making people renounce their titles would only rivet their attachment to them, and make them perhaps think of these things, when otherwise they would have been forgotten. Thus, or something to the same effect, must have been the reasoning of Mr. W. Smith, as is evident from the tone of the reply. Mr. Giles said, that it was quite a new kind of argument, that to renounce a thing, was the way to give it existence. If this rule were to hold, he believed some members of the House would renounce things which they very much wanted. For example, he himself should possibly renounce an 100,000 dollars. As to the call for the yeas & nays, he had some time ago informed the House that he gave up this point. The thing could not affect him either one way or another, because his sentiments were already known.
Mr. Dexter observed, that he had withdrawn his amendment, under a hope of conciliation, and that the yeas and nays would not be taken. But since
this request had been refused, he should move it again, and have the yeas and nays upon that likewise, and before the other.
His amendment was to the following effect: And also in case any such alien shall hold any person in slavery, he shall renounce his claim thereto, and declare that he holds all men free and equal.
At calling over the names on the amendment of Mr. Dexter, there were, Ayes, - - - - 28 Nays, - - - - 64 On the amendment of Mr. Giles, Ayes, - - - - 59 Nays, - - - - 32

Foreign Intelligence.
Translations from Hamburg papers to the 1st November, brought by Capt. Wil- linck in the ship Juliana, arrived at Baltimore on Sunday last, seven weeks from Hamburg.
ARNHEIM, October 20.
Every thing is in confusion at Nimeguen. The French succeeded in passing the Meuse in small boats without being observed by the English. They then pretended to be Hussars of Rohan, and attacked an English battalion near Drughen, which they cut to pieces, so that no man escaped. Three thousand of the French were at once this morning as far as Bunnig, one league and a quarter from Nimeguen. The English army having received some reinforcement, both parties began an engagement which lasted till eleven o'clock. The cannonade then ceased and every body thought that the enemy had been expelled from that neighbourhood, but at half past one the combat was renewed with fresh vigour, and every body fled from the city.
The baggage of the English army is at present between Arnhem and Nimeguen, and stops the communication between those two cities. A whole squadron of red French Hussars was thrown off a dam and cut to pieces.
The head quarters of the English army will arrive this evening in this City.
P. S. According to later accounts, the attempt to drive the French from the country between the Meuse and the Waal has not succeeded. The duke of York arrived here this morning.
FRANKFORT, Oct. 25.
A number of letters from Basil and Berne in Switzerland, assure us that the peace between the king of Prussia and France was signed on the 21st inst. One of these letters, dated Rome, 19th October, says, "This morning we received from M. de Marval, the important news that peace was concluded between the King of Prussia and France. M. de Marval himself, signed the treaty with two French Commissioners."
Another letter adds, that the treaty of peace was signed at Neufchâtel on the 12th inst. and consists of six articles."
From the Vistula, October 25.
The Russian Lieut. Gen. Baron Van Fersen, has written the following letter to the King of Poland:—
SIRE,
"The total defeat of a Polish corps, stationed at Kameck; the making prisoners of a great number of soldiers and officers of all ranks; of the commanding General; and finally, of him who had the general command of all, the chief of the revolution of 1794, (Kosciusko,) were the happy successes of the 10th of October. Convinced that your majesty, and the republic of Poland, have now re-entered their original right, I hasten to address myself to this lawful authority, to reclaim the liberty of all Russian Generals, officers, soldiers, and domestics, as likewise the liberty of the members of the diplomatic corps and of the ladies who, against all the laws of nations are kept prisoners. I wish that they may be sent back to the corps that I command. Their speedy return must augment the inclination which I have to do on my part as much as is permitted me, and is depending on me, in hopes that the attempt to restore a firm and wholesome peace in Poland will now succeed, and that I may be able to assure your majesty of my respects before the end of the current year. I request that you will please to accept the expressions thereof, as well as the sentiments therewith I have the honor to be, &c."
The King hereupon answered that the captivity of the commander in chief did not decide the matter, nor could induce him to relinquish a Revolution which he had sworn to maintain, and to the principles whereof he would remain faithful, neither could he agree to release the prisoners, according to the request of the Gen. unless he would enter into an exchange of the same.
FRONTIERS of POLAND.
ELBING, Oct. 22.
All our letters from the interior of Poland, speak of the great consternation on which the unfortunate defeat of Kos-
ciusko has occasioned in Warsaw. The High Council have published an address to the people, wherein they communicate this melancholy affair, and repeat the assurance that the heads of the revolution are determined to live and to die at their posts. They have given the command in chief of the army to Lieutenant General Wawrzewski, whose answer is expected with great impatience. General Krajouzer, meanwhile, acts in his place.
The Russians are advancing rapidly towards the Capital. Mokronowski, is cut off from the fame, and marches with his corps towards the Narew, but Prince Poniatowski has his camp on this side Warsaw, near Modlin. Generals Dombrowski and Madalinski are surrounded on all sides by Prussian troops, and will hardly be able to make their escape.
POSEN, October 25.
Major general Schwerin marched on the 22d inst. from here with a strong corps in order to join major Pollitz, who comes from Rawa by the way of Coil, and to attack the Polish army. Major general Vyren arrived with his corps on the 23d inst. at Filineche, and continued his march immediately for Gnesen. The Polish generals Dombrowski, and Madalinski, as we understand, have left their position on the Netza, and divided into two corps, the one whereof under Dombrowski marches this side, and the other under Madalinski, on the other side of the Vistula upwards, in order to make good their retreat to Warsaw, and to give reciprocal information in case one of them should find means to escape.
Of the battle between Kosciusko and the Russians, on the 10th inst. we have yet only the following particulars:—
The battle lasted from 7 o'clock in the morning till 12 at noon. Kosciusko shewed much greatness of mind: He was constantly in the midst of the fire: Three horses were killed under him: With the first he fell into a morass. The loss of the Russians is estimated at 1000 men.
THORN, October 25.
Every thing is in the greatest alarm in South Prussia. The cities of Nieslawa and Wloclawek have been retaken by the Poles. A corps of Poles under command of the Prince Poniatowski, has likewise repassed the Shura, and surprised a detachment of Prussians on the 19th inst. This was obliged to give way to superior numbers, and the baggage of the detachment being retaken a reinforcement, the enemy was repulsed with the loss of 200 men. The Aid de Camp of Prince Poniatowski was taken prisoner.
It seems Poniatowski broke up only to bring Madalinski safe to Warsaw.
The greatest consternation reigns in Warsaw since the defeat of Kosciusko, the soldiers in whole regiments go over to the Russians. Many of the inhabitants wish to surrender to the Prussians. It is even said that the most furious parties exist in Warsaw. That it has been attempted to carry off the King— That a number of people have fallen a sacrifice to the rage of the mob, and that the principal persons of the council have been arrested, all which wants confirmation.
In Lithuania a counter confederation has been effected, which to the amount of 13,000 men, have joined the Russians. It is even said that deputies have been sent from Warsaw to the Russian commander in chief, in order to ask pardon for what has passed, and to declare that Warsaw is willing to capitulate.
FRANKFORT, October 25.
The day before yesterday the French entered Coblenz. The city surrendered by capitulation. The fort fired on the French, who threatening to demolish the city the firing ceased.
The Imperial army under Gen. Melas has crossed the Rhine, as has likewise the Imperial General Nauendorf. The Imperial troops now are posted on the right banks of the Rhine from Niewied to Caub.
PARIS, October 18.
A Spanish ambassador has arrived here to make proposals of peace in the name of his court. It is said negotiations have actually commenced, and fully concluded, all but one article.
Per the Ship A MIABLE from LIVERPOOL.
HAGUE, October 23.
We learn that his Highness the reigning Duke of Brunswick is daily expected here, to take the command in chief of the armies for the defence of
our Provinces, in consequence of the request of their High Mightinesses the States General and the English Ministry.
Fort St. Andres, Isle of Bommell. Sunday Night, Oct. 19.
About three in the morning, the French opened a battery upon the fort, and the village of Rossema. We were all under arms in ten minutes. The chief French battery is in a thick wood, and six lesser ones are placed circularly, by which they endeavour to flank the fort. We have had two men killed, and what is remarkable, four grenadiers of the 78th regiment, highlanders, had their caps taken off by cannon-balls, and neither of the men were wounded.
On Friday last, through an unfortunate mistake the Dutch fired upon the picquet of Captain Christy six rounds of grape shot, one of which tore off the greater part of Captain Christy's forehead, in consequence of which he languished in great agony till this morning, and then died; he was a brave, and most useful officer. Two battalions of the guards marched into the Island last night, and this day 800, part of the 80th and 84th, arrived. We are exerting our utmost efforts to defend the pass, the only one which is practicable to the French, and which is but forty yards over. If they should accomplish this, we must move off immediately, for they could erect batteries that would destroy the vessels, which are our only means of escape.
LONDON, Oct. 28.
Yesterday morning Mr. Sparrow, the messenger, arrived at the Secretary of State's office, with dispatches from the duke of York at Arnhem.
An attack is said to have been made upon the troops under the command of general Walmoden, near Nimeguen in which the French were repulsed with considerable loss, and 400 of their men taken prisoners.
Accounts from Rotterdam, on the other hand say that on Wednesday last the French defeated the allied troops left to cover Nimeguen, with great loss and that in consequence Nimeguen was immediately evacuated.
It is added, not as matter of fact, but of very confident report, that the French have made overtures for a general peace to M. Bernstorff, who returned for answer, that he could not interpose without the concurrence of England and a knowledge of the terms.
The French have taken both Trabach and Kirn; and there is great reason to fear that Coblenz is a lo in their hands. They entered Kechem, near this latter city, on the 12th inst. and on the 13th a smart action took place on the Moselle.
On the Upper Rhine they are advancing in great force; Prince Hohenlohe has evacuated Gronstadt and Worms; the baggage of the Prussians has also crossed the Rhine. The French advance with immense force in the district of Hudrucken; and the road to Mentz is covered with fugitives. The allies seem unwilling to risk an action in that quarter.
The French head-quarters are at Frankenthall and Furkheim, and another column advances from Lautern to Kirkheim.
Immediately after the action of the 19th, the Allied army retreated close to Nimeguen, and the French army appeared on the 2th inst. on the Heath of Winchem, and on the 21st on the Sluice called the French Stance.
On the 20th inst. the French threw shells into Thiel, which damaged several houses, and on the 21st they are said to have raised a battery on the banks of the Waal.
Capture of a French Frigate.
On the 21st instant, about 20 leagues from Brest, Sir Edward Pellew in the Arethusa, with the Artois, Diamond, and Galatea frigates in company, got sight of the Revolutionary French frigate. Sir Edward immediately made a signal for chase, and the Artois, Capt. Nagles being the headmost ship, came up with the enemy, when an action of 20 minutes was fought. The French ship being much disabled and perceiving the Diamond in preparation to rake her, struck her colours, and was taken possession of by the first lieutenant of the Artois.
The Revolutionary is a fine new frigate, was never at sea till the cruise on which she was taken, and had only been 14 days from port; she mounts 44 guns, and carries 370 men. The Artois carries 38 gun and 290 men.
The Artois had 3 killed, 8 wounded.
The French Captain is among the latter. Lieutenant Craigy, who commanded the Marines on board the Artois, a very gallant officer, was killed while encouraging his party.

The Artois and her wife are safe at anchor at Spithead. The small pox raged on board the French frigate and a great part of the crew were unable to stand to their guns.

WHITEHALL, Oct. 26.
A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was this day received from his Royal Highness the Duke of York, by the right honorable Henry Dundas, one of his majesty's principal secretaries of State.
Head-Quarters, Nimegaen, Oct. 20, 1794.
SIR,
YESTERDAY morning the enemy attacked the whole of the advanced posts of my right wing, in very great force, particularly that of Drutin, which was defended by the 37th regiment, and that of Appenheim, where the Prince of Rohan's light battalion was posted. Nothing could exceed the gallantry with which the whole of the troops on the advanced posts (particularly those two corps) behaved; but at last the post on the left of the 37th regiment, which was occupied by a detachment of Rohan hussars, having been forced, major Hope, who commanded the 37th, and who distinguished himself exceedingly, was obliged to retreat upon the Dyke along the Waal, which he continued for some time, without being much annoyed by the enemy. Unfortunately, however a strong body of the enemy's hussars being mistaken for the corps of Rohan, the regiment allowed them to come upon them unresisted, when the hussars immediately attacked, and the narrowness of the Dyke, which, on every occasion, must have afforded a security to the infantry, in this instance acted against them, as they were driven off it by the enemy's charge, and I am sorry to say, have suffered very considerably.
As they were upon the advanced posts, I have not as yet received an exact return of their loss, but I understand that Captain Baird, Hendley, and Duff, Lieutenants Mitchell, Thompson, Colquhoun & Murray, with the Quarter-Master Mr. Durand, were made prisoners; of which number Captain Duff, Lieutenants Mitchell and Colquhoun, are wounded. All the prisoners who were taken agreed in the intelligence that the enemy had brought over thirty thousand men; and at the same time I received the report that a very considerable body of them, having passed the Meuse between Ruremonde and Venlo, were advancing upon my left flank, and had already taken possession of Cleves.
Under these circumstances, (never having intended to risk an action in my present position) which I only kept in order to preserve a communication with Graves and to cover the reparations which were intended to have been made to the fortifications of this place, I determined to pass the Waal, and to take up the different cantonments, which were already marked out for the defence of the river, leaving General Walmoden, with a corps to cover the town.
Part of the troops began their march yesterday evening, and the remainder this morning, without any molestation from the enemy.
I am, &c.
FREDERICK.
P. S. I am sorry to add that Lieutenant Wadman of the light infantry of the 37th regiment, was upon piquet, and had distinguished himself by his intrepidity and prudence, is also dangerously wounded, and was brought in the evening to this town.
Right Hon. Henry Dundas, &c. &c. &c.
Yesterday M. Fagel, the Grand Pensionary of Holland, arrived in London, charged by the States General with the important commission of enforcing on the British government the necessity of an immediate peace with France; and to intimate to our Ministers, that if they will not concur in a negotiation for a general peace, they shall treat exclusively for themselves. Such a report without reserve, to be the object of M. Fagel's mission.
In the attack on the Duke of York's posts of the 19th, the 37th regiment suffered so severely, that only Major Hope, and about 20 men escaped. There is however, reason to believe, that as eight of the officers were taken prisoners, the greater part of the privates were so too, and that the number of killed is not so great as was at first imagined.
The Prince of Rohan's battalion French emigrants, is said to have lost 400 men;
and the 35th regiment suffered very considerably.
October 25.
By a letter received from Genoa, dated Sept. 24, we learn that the Austrians and Piedmontese had gained a complete victory over the French, in which they killed 5000 men, besides taking the French Gen. and a great number of prisoners. The action took place near the confines of Genoa. This news arrived at Genoa the following day, by an express to the government, and the English consul; and our ships in the harbour fired a feu-de-joye on the occasion.
High Treason.
Old Bailey, Oct. 25.
This morning the following persons, viz. Thomas Hardy, Matthew Moore, John Horne Tooke, John Thelwall, T. Augustus Bonney, Richard Hodgson, Steward Kydd, John Richter, Rev. Jeremiah Joyce, John Martin, Thomas Wardle, Hilliard, John Baxter, Philip Franklow and Thomas Holcroft, Thomas Spence, were put to the bar, in order to be arraigned for high treason, pursuant to the bills found by the grand jury against them.
Mr. Horne Tooke, mentioned some matter which he apprehended should if insisted upon, appear sufficient ground for refusing to plead at that time to the indictment; but wishing to throw no delay in the way of the trial, which he was confident would terminate in his acquittal, he waived any objections and plead.
Mr. Thelwall and Mr. Bonney, both observed to the court, that being falsely described in the indictment, they might quash it; but being anxious to have their characters vindicated to the world, agreed to plead.
They were accordingly arraigned. Mr. Horne Tooke informing the court, that by means of his removal from the Tower to Newgate, he was prevented from a consultation with his counsel; and Mr. Thelwall also saying, that his trunk with the books and papers necessary to his defence, had been detained in the Tower, on his removal thence, hoped that the court would indulge them with a postponement; which the attorney general agreeing to, the court appointed Thursday for the commencement of the trials.
A general complaint being made by the prisoners, of the rigorous confinement under which they were kept, without air or light; in places where they could not rest by night, or breathe by day requested that the court would interfere, and soften the severity of their situation.
Chief Justice Eyre, with great feeling, declared he was sorry that it was not within the province of the court to redress their complaint; but presumed to say, and indeed recommended it to the sheriffs, to do every thing consistent with the situation of the prisoners, to render their confinement less rigorous. Upon which one of the sheriffs rose, and declared that he would do every thing in his power to comply with the recommendation of the court.
About eleven o'clock the court adjourned, it having sat one hour.

COMMUNICATION.
It is curious to trace the progress of antipathy and Jacobin lies through the continent. One originating at Charleston, augmenting as it goes, travels to Norfolk, goes on to Philadelphia, posts to New York and after suffering and re-suffering various beatings and beheadings, dies at Boston. So on, the same route back. It should seem, that the retailers of plumpers had had a meeting to regulate their proceedings and that they had each agreed with the other, "If you'll scratch my back, I'll tickle your elbow." The lies of 1794, if collected, would make a very amusing as well as instructive volume.
CONCORD, December 24.
Answer of the House of Representatives of the State of New-Hampshire, to the Governor's Speech.
SIR,
IMPRESSED with the importance of guarding the rights of the citizens of this state—of preserving the peace of society—of securing those immunities and privileges which the laws and constitution have conferred—of extending protection to individuals, where they may be harassed by decisions subversive of rights which this state never conceded. The Senate and House of Representatives most fully accord with your Excellency, in the expediency of convening the Legislature before the time to which they were adjourned. They consider it their duty, to protect the citizens and rights of the state, against every unconstitutional interference; and this subject shall meet with their candid and thorough discussion, as it respects the dignity and independence of the state, and as it respects the rights and interests of the citizens.
The due administration of justice in this state, was the great cause and object of instituting the present government—Oppression on the one part, and delay on the other, though not equally grievous, ought to be remedied by every constitutional means in their power; and they feel great satisfaction that your Excellency did not omit, though painful the task, to notice such delay in your address to the Legislature.
They will attend to your Excellency's recommendation of the propriety of assessing a tax at this time—convinced that full and adequate provision should be made for all the exigencies of the state.
The Legislature will receive with pleasure any communications your Excellency may make, respecting the interests of the state, or the welfare of the citizens—and while they feel with sensibility the pleasure of frequently recurring to the principles of a constitution, founded on the Rights of Man, the first interest of society, however obscured by most other governments, they anticipate, with the highest satisfaction, your Excellency's concurrence in every measure they may propose for promoting the lasting happiness of our country.

HARTFORD, January 5.
The Rev. Timothy Dwight of Greenfield (well known in the literary world as the author of the "Conquest of Canaan," &c. &c.) has lately had a call from the Low Dutch Church, at Albany to take the spiritual Charge of that respectable Congregation, as a Colleague in the pastoral office with the Rev. John Basset. To convey this call to Dr. Dwight, in such a manner as should evince the high esteem of the Church for his talents and piety—a committee of its most respectable Members, was appointed to wait on him with it, and at the same time to inform him, that besides a very liberal outlet or settlement, the Church had voted him a salary of a thousand dollars per annum, for life, should he accept of this call.
The citizens of Albany, we hear, are making great exertions to have a College erected in that city:—Very liberal subscriptions by individuals, and grants by the Corporation have already been made for this laudable purpose.
NEW-YORK, January 8.
We presented to our readers, a hasty sketch of the intelligence contained in a letter handed to us at a very late hour, dated at Amsterdam the 8th November, and received by a gentleman here via Charleston. We have since had the original in our possession, and finding it to come from a respectable quarter, now give the following translation of the most material parts of it:
"Every body is in arms, and skirmishes [This alludes to the dissensions among the inhabitants themselves] every day in our environs, and also in the city. It is impossible to describe the trouble we are in. Our situation is dangerous. We are much divided in opinion: some are for inundating and thousands oppose it; by which circumstances business is stagnated; no merchandise is current; especially West India produce.
"Our correspondence with Hamburg is entirely interrupted by the French, who are every where successful: they are in possession of Nimegaen, and have both rivers Rhine and Waal, in their power, by
which our former trade with Germany was carried on.
"Our friends at Hamburgh have desired us to stop our consignments the market being already so much overstocked with all kinds of merchandise, that the wharfs have become the only place to deposit them. All manufactories are stopped. Double patrols are day and night going through the principal streets: and the market places guarded by cannon.—Coffee is this day noted at 7 flor.—sugars, no price. The agio of the bank, 95 per cent."

Vivat Respublica!
From the Pennsylvania Herald. The triumph of combination over self-interest.
HARK what loud notes of triumph ring
And circulate on swiftest wing
In varied Tones around;
Is France at Peace or Poland free?
Has Spain proclaim'd a Jubilee?
Or are the Mynheers drown'd?
Has little Britain nicknam'd Great
Sued, to avoid impending Fate
For terms she can't compell?
Or do Hibernia's Sons advance
To lead the volunteering dance?
Perhaps the Scotch rebel.
Has the cold Russian caught the flame
Kindled by Freedom's sacred name
And Guillotin's old Kate?
Has Austria join'd the hue and cry;
Shout Prussians we'll be free or die
Dooming their Monarch's Fate?
Have Mahomet's Disciples swore
By Sultans they'd be rul'd no more
Or opium chang'd for wine?
Has Tippoo Saib resum'd his throne
Have Freedom's Beams to India flown
And warm'd beyond the line.
Has Montezuma ris'n again
And shook the Tyranny of Spain
In the rich Realm of Ore?
Has Freedom cried with Heavenly voice
"Nations arise—be free—rejoice
For tyrants are no more."
Not all the music of the spheres
At nature's Birth, could charm our ears
Like this! or half so much;
Except, that one discordant note
Of open Dykes, without a boat,
And drowning the low Dutch.
But risum teneatis* Friends
'Tis no such news—the air now rends
Like Niagara's Fall;
No, 'tis the Mad'st by joy more mad,
A signal victory they've had;
The peal's from Congress Hall.
The Jaco-Demo-Crats are sav'd;
The Presidential Speech is brav'd;
'Tis true, as I'm alive;
By two their party was too strong,
Tho' they were fought both hard and long—
Alas! poor sorry five.
Hark what new shouts invade the sky;
The President's impeach'd the cry,
With Democrat confusion:
Next, Little Elleck call'd the great,
We'll tumble from his lofty state;
Then Caves Constitution.
We'll knock down Banks and Treasury
too
Lord how the fellows will look blue
To see us spunge the Debt,
All Insurrection forces we'll heal

"My chief aim has been, to offer to the public a Dramatic Entertainment, which, while it might excite a smile, or call forth the tear of sensibility, might contain no one sentiment, in the least prejudicial, to the moral or political principles of the government under which I live. On the contrary, it has been my endeavour, to place the social virtues in the fairest point of view, and hold up to merited contempt and ridicule, their opposite vices. If, in this attempt, I have been the least successful, I shall reap the reward to which I aspire, in the smiles and approbation of a liberal public." Sold by M. Carey, No. 128, and Rice & Co.

PROPOSALS By Thomas Dobson, For Publishing by Subscription, An English Translation OF Poole's Synopsis of the Translations of the Bible, And Of The Critics, Interpreters, and Commentators Exhibiting at one view, the principal criticisms, and most valuable elucidations of the Scriptures; Illustrations of the ancient Eastern Manners and customs; & Descriptions of the Plants and Animals therein mentioned; with improvements from observations of Travellers, since the publication of that excellent work. It has been master of wonder and regret that this most learned and valuable work, so highly prized by the learned, both curious and serious, has never been translated, and thereby the bulk of readers have been deprived of a work of the greatest entertainment and utility; in which by the Labors of the learned of various ages and nations, the Sacred Scriptures are cleared of the contradictions and absurdities of modern translations, and the ancient mannerisms, allegories, and figures are illustrated in such a way, as to unite the most rational entertainment with the most sublime instruction; & to discover the source whence true philosophy is, to all ages, have derived their knowledge from the Sacred Scriptures, which contain the seeds of all the sciences valuable to man. This work is proposed to the Public on the following CONDITIONS. It is supposed the whole will be completed in four volumes, large quarto; and will be set to the press as soon as a sufficient number shall be subscribed for, to defray the expense. The price to subscribers will be four dollars for each volume, in boards. No money will be demanded till the first volume shall be completed, when the price of the first and second volumes will be required. When the second volume is finished, the price of the third will be payable. And when the third volume is finished, the price of the fourth must be paid. The price of such copies as may not be subscribed for will be raised 25 per cent. Dec. 13. sawtf

PROPOSALS By Thomas Dobson, For Publishing by Subscription, An English Translation OF Poole's Synopsis of the Translations of the Bible, And Of The Critics, Interpreters, and Commentators Exhibiting at one view, the principal criticisms, and most valuable elucidations of the Scriptures; Illustrations of the ancient Eastern Manners and customs; & Descriptions of the Plants and Animals therein mentioned; with improvements from observations of Travellers, since the publication of that excellent work. It has been master of wonder and regret that this most learned and valuable work, so highly prized by the learned, both curious and serious, has never been translated, and thereby the bulk of readers have been deprived of a work of the greatest entertainment and utility; in which by the Labors of the learned of various ages and nations, the Sacred Scriptures are cleared of the contradictions and absurdities of modern translations, and the ancient mannerisms, allegories, and figures are illustrated in such a way, as to unite the most rational entertainment with the most sublime instruction; & to discover the source whence true philosophy is, to all ages, have derived their knowledge from the Sacred Scriptures, which contain the seeds of all the sciences valuable to man. This work is proposed to the Public on the following CONDITIONS. It is supposed the whole will be completed in four volumes, large quarto; and will be set to the press as soon as a sufficient number shall be subscribed for, to defray the expense. The price to subscribers will be four dollars for each volume, in boards. No money will be demanded till the first volume shall be completed, when the price of the first and second volumes will be required. When the second volume is finished, the price of the third will be payable. And when the third volume is finished, the price of the fourth must be paid. The price of such copies as may not be subscribed for will be raised 25 per cent. Dec. 13. sawtf
