BOOKS.
PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No 118, Market Street,
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs. Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [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 Reviews, 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. The regularity of her former conduct, is noticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.] 2. The Inquisitor—by Mrs. Rowson, Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents 3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vol. 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine. 4. Notes on the state of Virginia—by Thomas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and a half. 5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
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 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 or 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 accepted by the partisans of either party. But when time shall diffuse the cloud of political deception, they will 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 12.

FREEDOM OF ELECTION.
From a Virginia Paper.
Campbell county 11th March 1795.
To the High Sheriff of this District,
GENTLEMEN,
YOU will please to pardon the presumption of a stranger to you, who takes the liberty of notifying you, to open a Poll in his name, on Monday the 16th instant. Who offers his services as a Candidate, to Congress for this District; 'Tis Sir, the best of my soliciting any place under Government, nor once attempted to influence the opinion of the people in my favor, but as I am solicited to offer my services, if the district will free cause, to honor me with that Sacred Place, I flatter myself with the hopes of discharging the delegated trust with Honor and Integrity, for the business of Legislation is at present a serious one, and calls for the strictest care and attention in the choice. In our late Congress I see men ready to raise tattered beggary, which comes by luxury and dissipation, and one of the most sacred departments of Government debased only to serve private purposes.
And as I am enveloped in what accompanies events, and upon this Theatre recommending myself to a large choir of republican people, give me leave to say, that our nation has a demand on Congress. Public characters ought to be branded with infamy, if they fail in administering public justice according to the voice of the people. No man surely should be exalted to that office, who would have reason to hang his head in supporting high pensions, to swallow up our revenue. The expence of last Insurgent Rage, which has its mortification in the indulgence of its own revenge, ought to call forth the popular voice. Let not the dross of human nature be admitted to barter away the rights of man; Let the whole voice of a free people proclaim amendments to some of the rotten materials that are compiled together in our political system. Those who are appointed ought to sit the people, as well as their places, and established pensions to fit them; those pensions of Congress blended with those of the revenue will blast where they smite, and I am afraid wither the nerves of republicanism, for self-interest in every monarchial Court, has been the oppressing theme of wretched out taxation. Therefore we may taste and alloy some great blessings from amendments which appears to be the popular wish and voice of the people. I will stop here for fear of offending or expressing myself over warmly, for it is from a fixed immovable hatred I have against haughty men, and corrupted measures, to shew that I'd with the people to discriminate between those who experience has not made wise, and those to whom inexperience has added native stupidity, and between those two whose knowledge in public affairs has given power to serve their country, and those services to have distinguished a zeal for Republican interest, and a steady adherence to the Cause of Liberty. In haste I am
Your most obedient Servant, Dr. C. C. MAHON.

LIBERTY AND EQUALITY!
From the American Minerva.
IN the paragraph we have published from the Aurora, the Editor of that paper mentions it as a remarkable thing that those who call themselves the moderates in the National Convention, are the only persons who now call out for blood.
This however is not half so remarkable, as that any American of ordinary erudition should be surprised at the fact. The history of Europe, from the foundation of the first Greek republic to this day, contains one tissue of similar facts. Mr. Adams's defence is little more than a history of similar facts, and an exposition of the causes and principles that gave rise to them.
Young men in America, who have
not read history to advantage, and who have been taught to despise the writings of our profound statesmen, to whom they are indebted for the independence of America and an excellent constitution; young men who have come into life since the principles of government which gave rise to our constitution, were discussed, and who have been listening to rhapsodies on French democracy; these men wonder at the rapid changes in the French government, and are at the head of it. They seem to think it strange, that the men who are adored as patriots to-day, should be guillotined as traitors to-morrow; and that men who preach moderation one week, should call for blood the next.
But all this is not only natural, but it is the necessary effect of the French government, and any man whose heart is not corrupted nor his head incorrigibly obtuse, may read the causes in detail in Mr. Adams's defence of our constitutions, or any political history of Europe.
The fault is not in the men; it is in the government. The French have placed all authority in one center; as many French Americans wish to do in this country. In such a form of government, laws do not govern, but men; and when men govern, they are not led by reason, but driven by passion.
Robespierre began a real patriot; he ended a monster of tyranny. So did Carrier. Now, Barrere, Collot d'Herbois, and Billaud Varennes, are suspected. Why? The reason is plain. Under Robespierre, Barrere was second in command; he was, perhaps, expected to be first. He was then in his glory. Now, Lecointre, Legendre, and the Lord knows who, are at the head, and Barrere in the background. This is a mortification of his ambition; and he must be sacrificed for fear he will be revenged. It is a mere war of private interests and passions. Patriots, democrats, all men love power and pre-eminence. No matter by what name the men are called. They are all struggling for power and fame. It is just so in this country: the men who bellow patriotism, do so to obtain power, fame, consequence, or whatever else they desire to gratify their passions.
The French, so far as they are struggling for the right of governing themselves, and securing national independence, are engaged in a just and honorable cause, and they have the sincere wishes of all good men. But it is to be regretted, that they have fallen upon their present plan of government: or should it be admitted, that the plan of a revolutionary government is necessary as a temporary expedient; it is to be regretted that they have such prejudices against two independent branches, and an independent executive and judiciary. They have yet to learn, that men, whether democrats or aristocrats, are all to be controuled; that one branch of government is to be controuled by another, and all controuled by the supreme power of laws, deposited in the hands of one responsible person.
Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, December 25.
We may at last hope that ere long tranquility will be restored in all the districts of the unhappy department of La Vendee, which for the last two years has been infected with the venomous breath of aristocracy, and ravaged by all the furies of fanaticism, let loose by priests, in order to induce a credulous and ignorant people to revenge the cause of a blood-thirsty idol in the hearts of their countrymen.
The general amnesty in favour of the rebels does honour to the policy and wisdom of the National Convention. The republicans are ready to receive with open arms those deluded Frenchmen who return to the standard of liberty: they will forget the cruelties, the horrors committed by the Catholic army against the faithful inhabitants of those cantons, against every patriot they met with: they will never mention that the Vendicans were the most cruel, the most implacable, the most dangerous enemy of the republic; nor remember that those deluded Frenchmen had themselves begun the cruel war of extermination by proclaiming solemnly that they would not lay down their arms till royalty was restored, and all the republicans immolated on the altars of sacrilegious priestcraft. But, at the same time, the good citizens think it but just to treat those pure and zealous patriots who shed their blood in defending the republic against the rage of aristocracy and fanaticism, at least with as much indulgence as the deluded inhabitants of Vendee, whose avowed design was to deprive all their countrymen of the right they had so dearly
obtained. If some men, who are continually communicating new particulars concerning the horrid massacres of Nantes, did not design to brand the republicans in general with the crimes of individuals; if they did not wish to revive the cause of liberty, and defend that of royalty; why don't they also make mention of the enormous cruelties committed by the brigands at Machecoul, Cholet, Clisson, &c.? or why do not they draw a veil over the cruelties committed on both sides? for the monsters who stained the republican name by the atrocities they were guilty of, the generals who burnt the villages in la Vendee, and the drowners of Nantes, are already condemned, or await their judgment in prison.
The members of the famous revolutionary committee of Nantes have been again incarcerated. An extraordinary courier was dispatched with this news to the Western departments, where the report of the acquittal of those monsters might have given rise to new disorders, and destroyed the beneficial effect of the amnesty allowed by the Convention.

NEW-YORK, March, 28.
Communication.
On Friday last a Salmon, weighing 27 lbs. was sold in our market for 23 dollars. If the sweetness of this fish was adequate to the sum paid for it, it must have been extremely grateful to the taste—even to mention this delicious morsel, if accompanied with a bottle of Tokay, is enough to inundate the mouths of all the Epicurean Gents within whose hearing it may come. Upon such DEAR, luxurious fare, who would not wish to expand their corporation?
ON the 4th inst. there was a general meeting of the Tobacconists of Philadelphia, at the White Swan Tavern, Race Street: where after an elegant supper, the following Toasts were drank with general applause.
1. The President of the United States—may he recommend a speedy repeal of the existing Excise Laws, and reject in future all which may partake of their nature. 2. All friends in Congress. 3. May the Patriotic Minority of the late Congress, who resisted excise be encreased to a majority in the next, and may they repeal all Excise laws. 4. The Constitution of the United States, and the equal rights which it evidently contemplates, may they cease to be perverted, as is assuredly the case when a manufacturer of snuff is obliged to pay two thousand two hundred and forty dollars per annum for one mill. 5. The Congress of 1774, who declared that excises were the horror of all free states. 6. Mr. MADISON—may he find a majority who will adopt his ways and means for payment of the National debt without having recourse to partial taxation. 7. The Revolution of France, and confusion to the prompters of Excise. 8. The Assembly of Pennsylvania of 1791, who resolved to justify against excises of all kinds—May their virtuous sentiments be indelibly impressed on the minds of all freemen. 10. The trade and its customer—May the latter be speedily relieved from the impositions of excise, and the former from being gatherers of so odious a tax. 11. The mechanics and Manufacturers of America—May they never feel the shackles of an excise system. 12. The Tobacco planters—May their rights never be infringed. 13. May the other citizens of America inform their Representatives in the next Congress, as the tobacconists of Philadelphia informed their representatives in the last one, that they were ready to pay their proportion of the national debt, and have done with it. 14. May the chairmans of the committee of ways and means who brought forward the excise upon snuff never have a future opportunity to exert his talents in that capacity. 15. GENERAL JACKSON, who declared that were he to sit forty years in Congress he would never vote for an excise.
From the Pennsylvania Herald.
Mr. EDIE,
ENCLOSED you receive the toasts of the tobacconists of Philadelphia—I tried to set them to music in a variety of ways: first to the tune of the anthem called "The tobacco leaf spiritualized," with the chorus of "Thus think and smoke tobacco," but that would not do. I then tried "Sawney lend me the loan of your mull," but I could not make them jingle. Next I
endeavored to set them to "Smock that M'Afee," here again all was discord—last of all I assayed to put them in unison with the old excise song of "Boge here and scratchum there, My dad was in the rebellion;" Not a verse would chime. I threw away my pen, and was about to accuse myself of stupidity, when I recollected my friend Pindar's observation, "Verse must be dull on subjects so damn'd dry." So I determined to see what could be done in prose.
The first thing that strikes me is that the poor worn out word Excise is used eight times in fourteen Toasts, for the ninth toast is wanting. It is is ineligible to use the same word so often in so short a piece, but there is a magic in some words, for instance in the words Preslo begone in Legerdemain tricks; although in truth this same Excise, means nothing more, according to its derivation, than a part cut off for the use of government.
In their 7th Toast, why in the name of constituency, do they White Swan people couple the revolution of France with this harmless word? Pope has something like it in the line "Now sees a Bubble burst and now a World."
But Young has it better, in speaking of the head of Kouli Khan, kept by Pin Makers as a sign:
"Illustrious mark where Pins are to be sold."
So in their 7th Toast the French revolution ushers in the Excise.
It seems The President is a Toast only on condition that he recommends a repeal of all past laws, and rejects all future ones which are disagreeable to the Tobacconists: that is modest.
They give us Mr. Madison without condition—with his ways and means—for my part I don't know what he means by some of his ways; but of one thing I am sure, that even if "his ways are ways of pleasantness," they have not lately been by any means "paths of peace."
As to General Jackson retaining his opinion for forty years, the same reply may be made to this which was once given to a person who boasted he was a man of fortune—yes, cried a wag, but "that's neither here nor there."
In the 4th toast they complain of the hardship of paying—in the 10th of gathering the tax.
But positively this pinch and quit bubbub is too bad—it's too dry, even for prose. What, shall we be desens'd with all this noise, merely because our Tobacco and Snuff are a little better cented. Tho' volumes in place of leaves of such Toasts should be printed. I think a Toast given by the Tobacconists of this place some time ago, will apply to them all.
"May the leaves of Antifederalism be twitted together, and end in a puff."

PHILADELPHIA, March 31.
Extract of a letter from Barbadoes, dated the 28th of February.
"We hourly expect the arrival of eleven thousand troops, and have received advice of their embarkation at Portsmouth. We are here in the midst of war—the Commandant at Gaudaloupe has threatened us—but I have heard the threatened live long."
Mr. EDITOR,
COMPLAINTS have long been made by the Inhabitants of Kentucky and the Interior country of the bad Gun-Powder procured from the magazine of this State for want of its being subjected to Inspection—it has been found scarce potent enough to send the ball out of a rifle sixty yards, while the battle powder furnished the hostile Indians is sufficient in strength to kill at twice the distance.
It is a melancholly reflection, that Americans fall devoted-victims for want of good Powder—a matter which calls for immediate relief from the Legislature—some of the members of that body declare this to be a fact.
On Friday morning last, departed this life, after a short illness, NATHAN PAWLING Esq. High Sheriff of the County of Montgomery.
Of this much lamented branch of a very old and respectable Family, it may be justly said, that he invariably pursued the path of moral rectitude, and never deviated from the strict line of truth and honor.
Manly and independent in his principles, his judgment felt not the influence of fear, or the bias of interest.
In private life, he delighted in healing the differences of neighbours—in comforting

the afflicted—and in exercising those duties, which were inspired by filial reverence, conjugal affection, brotherly love and parental fondness.
In his public conduct, he was active, diligent and punctual, in the faithful discharge of the trust committed to his care—attentive and considerate to the distresses of the poor, he softened the rigor of justice, by the intervention of humanity.
His disconsolate widow, his helpless children, and his numerous acquaintance, will long deplore his loss—A friend and relative who knew and revered his worth, now pays this just tribute of respect to his memory.

BALTIMORE, March 28.
On Thursday morning arrived here, the brig Typhione, Capt. Melvin Miller, from St. Thomas's. He spoke the brig Amiable, of Philadelphia, Capt. James McCloskey, in lat. 25, 14, long. 72, 29, fourteen days out from Port-au-Prince. He informs us, the English acknowledged, that unless they obtained speedy relief, they could not hold any part of St. Domingo, many days longer; as they were blockaded in the towns of Port-au-Prince and St. Marks, they dare not go out for fear of the Republicans.
On Saturday the 7th March, spoke a brig from Newburyport, Capt. Stevens, who informs that he was lately at Martinique; that the British troops there expected, they should be obliged to evacuate that island shortly, unless relief arrived to them from England.
On Wednesday the 11th of March, spoke a schooner in lat. 32, 40, long. 74, 10, from the Bite of Leogane, Capt. Foster, bound to Boston; who informs that the schooner Ariel of Baltimore arrived there 10 or 12 days before Capt. Foster left that place, that he was boarded by an English frigate off Cape Henry, who took from him four of his hands.
Capt. Miller was also informed at St. Thomas's, by a gentleman lately from St. Domingo, that the inhabitants were in daily expectation of being taken by the French; that so strong were their apprehensions on this account, as almost to cause a total suspension of business; he also says, the French are in full possession of St. Lucy.
LONDON, Dec. 26.
Falmouth, Dec. 22.
This day arrived here the American ship Ann, Capt. David Black, from L'Orient, which place she left the 19th instant, from whom I have received the following intelligence:
That on the 17th inst. an express arrived here from Brest, advising the sailing of the French fleet from that port, consisting of 31 sail of the line and fifteen frigates, and ordering the Cato of 90 guns, which lay at L'Orient ready for sea, to sail and join them, which she accordingly did.
On the 1st instant, a squadron had sailed from Brest, for Guadalupe, with 2000 troops on board.
The French were perfectly well acquainted with the time of sailing of our outward bound convoy.
A Mr. Campbell and eight English captains who had escaped from prison, arrived in the Ann. They say that a great mortality prevailed among the English prisoners at Quimper prison, near Brest, and that provisions were very scarce.
After the perusal of the foregoing communication, it is evident that the French have had very early intelligence of the strength, wealth, and time of departure of our outward bound merchantmen, which form, perhaps, the most valuable and most numerous fleet that ever at one time left England.
The British outward bound trade consists of 500 sail, exclusive of the ships of war with which they are to be accompanied.
December 27.
We have the pleasure to inform the public, that Earl Howe has no intention of resigning the command of the Channel fleet; and what is more, that his lordship has expressed a wish to hoist
his flag on board Le Commerce de Marceilles, which from her good properties in sailing, would be a circumstance, we presume to say, highly agreeable to him on a second rencontre with the French Montagne.
Pichegru, since the invasion of Holland, has uniformly treated his English prisoners with the utmost politeness; and those that are of any rank he seems glad to have at his own table. On these occasions the conversation is so free, that the prisoners are under no restraint; and we are told that in discourse one day with the French General, a British Officer was highly extolling the successes of his country in the naval victory of the 1st of June, and the conquest of the colonies.
Pichegru, after listening to him with attention, is said to have made this memorable answer: "Holland, you may depend upon it, will add to the conquests of the French, and in acquiring it we cut off one of the arms of the Allies; but in the seizure of the colonies you have only acted the part of a barber in shaving off our beards, which will quickly grow again. If our trees do not at once cease to vegetate, we shall not want a navy; and if our women do not become at once all barren, we shall neither want soldiers nor sailors."
Several of the Paris Journals contain the following letter, which the celebrated Baron Trenck wrote to his wife, shortly before his execution on the 26th of July last:
"Dearest and best of Wives, I feel nothing bitter in the pangs of death but the idea of having left you behind. It was C. who obliged me to go to France. I die innocent. Avenge my death on the ruffians who sacrificed me. Forget dearest Spouse, the ills which, during my wretched existence, I brought upon thee and my children, whom I commend to thy lasting maternal tenderness. Farewell dear Spouse! fare-ye well, dear Offspring! may God be your Father! I leave you my blessing, Honor my ashes in the venerable old man who will deliver you this letter: He was the companion of my captivity in France, and the prop of my declining existence. Adieu, for ever, dearest, best of wives! Adieu! Adieu! Frederick, Baron Von Trenck."
SHIP NEWS
Letter from Captain Adams of the Brig Betsey (put about again in distress on the 5th inst. into Jeremie) received 30th March by Mr. Osment.
Port-au-Paix, Dec. 13th 1794. Dear Sir, This is to let you know that I failed from Jeremie on the 5th of Dec. bound for Philadelphia; on the 7th I was off Cape Nicholas Mole whence I had a strong breeze from N. W. and the wind continuing to blow from the N. W. I was determined to run from the well Caicas passage at 8 P. M. the same evening I was off the Ill and Tortuga about three leagues distant where I was captured by a small privateer manned with black people only, they took possession of the brig and took all my papers of the vessel and cargo, and bore away for Port-au-Paix; during the whole night our lives were in the most imminent danger, they tried to put the vessel on shore a number of times in the course of the night, but with much trouble I kept her off the rocks till day light, when I saw Port-au-Paix at 8 P. M. we came to an anchor in the said port; they took all my passengers and put them in prison, plundered my vessel of the most part of my provision and sea stores, and then put a guard on board. And here, I must wait for an answer from the general which is at Cape Francois. Mr. Poirier is confined on board of a frigate and God knows when we shall be cleared; this day one of my people died and my mate is sick on shore, so that I am distressed in every respect, I am Sir your most obedient and humble servant Thomas Adams.

THE AFRICAN BOY.
AH! tell me little mournful Moor, Why still you linger on the shore? Haste to your play-mates, haste away, Nor loiter here with fond delay; When morn unveil'd her radiant eye, You hail'd me as I wandered by, Returning at th' approach of Eve, Your meek salute I still receive.
Benign Enquirer, thou shalt know Why here my lonesome moments flow; 'Tis said thy countrymen (no more Like rav'ning sharks that haunt the shore) Return to blesse, to raise, to cheer, And pay compassion's long arrear.
'Tis said the num'rous Captive Train, Late bound by the degrading Chain, Triumphant come with swelling sails, 'Mid smiling skies, and western gales: They come with festive heart and glee, Their hands unshackled—minds as free; They came at Mercy's great command, To repossess their native land.
The gales that o'er the Ocean stray, And chase the waves in gentle play, Methinks they whisper as they fly, JUELLEN soon will meet thine eye! 'Tis this that sooths her little Son, Blends all his wishes into one; Ah! were I clasp'd in her embrace, I would forget her past disgrace; Forget the memorable hour She fell a prey to tyrant pow'r; Forget her loit, distracted air, Her sorrowing, voice, her kneeling pray'r; The suppliant tears that gall'd her cheek, And last her agonizing shriek.
Lock'd in her hair, a ruthless band Trail'd her along the stony strand; A ruffian train, with clamours rude, The impious spectacle pursu'd: Still as she mov'd in accents wild She cried aloud, My child! my child! The lofty bark she now ascends; With streams of woe the air she rends: The vessel less'ning from the shore, Her piteous wails I heard no more? Now as I stretch'd my last survey, Her distant form dissolv'd away.
That day is past: I cease to mourn— Succeeding joy shall have its turn; Beside the hoarse reounding deep, A pleasing anxious watch I keep: For when the morning clouds shall break, And darts of day the darkness streak; Perchance along the glittering main, (Oh may this hope not throb in vain!) To meet these long desiring eyes, JUELLEN and the Sun may rise,
From a London Paper.
ON MY BEARD. A SONNET.
THE orb of day seven times, this fatal morn, Has sped his course thro' each revolving sign, Since first in evil hour reluctant torn, The down of youth forsook these cheeks of mine, Ah! fashion! had I view'd thy sneers with scorn, Unravag'd still the sacred growth would thine; The majesty of manhood, still unshorn, Should sweep my breast luxuriant as the vine.
Now, woe is me! a dupe to impious zeal, Unequal war with Nature I do wage, While, as each sun returns, the ruthless steel, To waste her produce, plies its whetted rage.
Grecia's godlike sages dare I feel, My shaggy chin should mock this silly age.

Mr. FENNO,
The following extract from the excellent Sermon delivered by Dr. Green on the late Federal Thanksgiving, occurred to mind on reading certain strictures in the Aurora of Saturday last.
If a nation unite in public thanksgiving its public functionaries must designate the time. To this, again, the malignant hatred of infidelity to all that bears the appearance of piety, has laid an objection. The magistrate, it cries, ought not to interfere in matters of religion. In matters of conscience we allow that he ought not; but if we acknowledge a God at all, it is the magistrate's duty to lead the people to adore him. S y that he recommends a day for this purpose, leaves every one to his own mode of worship, and to his own inclination as to the observance—is any man's conscience wounded by this? It is nonsense to affirm it. My conscience can never be touched by the actions of others; its functions refer only to my own. To what does the act of the magistrate in this concern amount? only to this—availing himself of the eminence on which he is placed, he gives the signal for a willing people to prostrate at once before the eternal throne and to unite their praise to him from whom they derive their all. I repeat it therefore, for it is a fact which you ought to mark and remember, that it is only from those who hate all religion, who hate the very thought that there is a God, that you will hear this objection seriously and understandingly urged.
Never did men cherish a more sacred and jealous regard to human rights, never did men better understand them, never did men treat them more tenderly or less infringe them, than that illustrious band of patriots who composed the American Congress in the early stages of our late revolution. Yet numerous were the religious solemnities which they proclaimed. Ah! my country! then didst thou, in very deed, feel thy dependence on God—He wrought deliverance for thee—and wilt thou now forget him!

The sons of toil, with many a weary broke Scoup the hard bosom of the solid rock; Resistle's through the stiff opposing clay, With steady Patience, work their gradual way; Compel the Genius of th' unwilling flood Through the brown horrors of the aged wood; Cross the lone wake the silver urn they pour,
And cheer the barren heath, or sullen moor The traveller, with pleasing wonder sees
The white sail gleaming through the dusky trees;
And views the alter'd landscape with surprise
And doubts the magic scenes that round him rise
Now like a flock of swans, above his head, Their woven wings the flying vessels spread Now meeting streams, in artful maze, glide While each, unmongled, pours a separate tide;
Now, through the hidden veins of earth they flow
And visit sulphurous mines and caves below.
The ductile streams obey the guiding hand, And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND! 2awtf

RESPECTFULLY inform the Patrons to these Works, and the Public, that from the very Liberal Encouragement they have already received in the Undertaking, they will be enabled to put the FIRST VOLUME to Press in the course of the ensuing Month.
This being the first attempt made in the United States for the publication of the Writings of the celebrated Shakespeare—and the magnitude and elegance of the Work rendering it materially expensive, the Publishers anticipate a generous Patronage from an enlightened Public.
It will be printed on a new and handsome type—and on paper of a superior quality.—The first volume will contain an elegant Front-piece of Shakespeare.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are received by the principal Booksellers in this City, and throughout the United States, and by the Publishers, No. 15, Dock Street. Feb. 23. eodjt—raw4w

SCHEME
OF THE
LOTTERY, No. II.
FOR THE
IMPROVEMENT
OF THE
FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 2 columns: Prize Amount, Number of Prizes. Includes entries like '1 ditto 15,000 & cash 25,000 are 50,000', '1 ditto 15,000 & cash 15,000 are 30,000', etc.
16,739 Prizes 83,261 Blanks 50,000 Tickets at 8 dollars 400,000
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is promised to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of those having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The Sybopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the next suspension indispensable. February 24, 1795.

Extra from the Preface.
"Whilst the inhabitants of Europe are distracted by the din of arms, and their principal employment is to contrive the most expeditious means of destroying one another; let the happy citizens of these infant states turn their attention to the useful and elegant arts of peace; let them avail themselves of the discoveries of those ancient nations in the happier years that are past, until we no longer stand in need of their supplies, or remain exposed to the fluctuations of their fortune."

By G. I. PARKYNS,
Author of the "Monastic Remains and Ancient Castles in Great Britain."
CONDITIONS.
I. That the work shall be published by Subscription; and that each Subscriber shall engage to take the whole set of Views, and shall pay for each engraving, if black or brown, 2 Dollars; and if coloured 5 Dollars. II. That the dimensions of each engraving shall be 24 by 17 inches, executed in aquatinta, and published upon paper of a superior quality. The publication to commence immediately; and one engraving to be delivered to the Subscribers, on the first Monday of each succeeding month, until the proposed series shall be finally completed. III. That with the last View of the series, shall be delivered an engraved title-page; an elegant characteristic vignette; a map of the route, connected with the prospects exhibited in the course of the Work; and an Alphabetical list of the Subscribers.
TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS Work is offered to the public at a crisis peculiarly interesting to the Arts: Amidst the ravages of war, and the convulsions of a revolutionary age, they must inevitably languish and expire, unless the same happy country, which affords an asylum to the persons of the persecuted and distressed, shall foster and patronize the labour and affluence of men of genius and talents. Advancing, indeed, rapidly to the zenith of power, reputation and opulence, America, even in a state of universal tranquility, must soon have become the rival of Europe in learning and taste, as well as her superior in morality and government. Under the present circumstances of the world, however, the opportunity occurs to anticipate the desired period of pre-eminence; and to render America at this eventful hour, the guardian and protectress of every science that can enlighten, and of every art that can adorn the human mind.
On this principle, more than the claim of merit, the Author presumes he shall not fail to attract the public attention; but still, he hopes, that he will not be found altogether undeserving or defective, either in the choice or execution of his subject. No country possesses scenes better calculated to inspire ideas of the beautiful and sublime; to exalt the soul of the philosopher, to enliven the song of the poet, or animate the pencil of the painter, than those which lie profusely scattered over the American continent. But unfortunately there is no country, whose native charms have been so superficially explored, or so imperfectly delineated. Hitherto, indeed the toil of converting a wilderness into a state of luxuriant vegetation; of providing the necessaries and comforts of life; and of adapting civil institutions to the genius of a new nation, seems to have been sufficient to engage all the strength, and all the talents of the inhabitants of America. The people of Europe, on the other hand, corrupted by wealth, and deluded by pride, have rarely, comparatively speaking, overlapped the boundaries of their continent in pure search of information or pleasure. The ruins of art, which encumber their domestic scenery, have been preferred to the novelties of nature which arise in other regions; and the time has been, that a View from the St. Lawrence to the Mississippi would have been less valued, than the section of a palace, or a mutilated fragment of antiquity. But in respect to both, a revolution in situation and sentiment has been accomplished. The American finds leisure, with a retrospective and joyful sensibility of heart, to admire the graces, as well as to reap the abundance which providence has bestowed on this country; and the European is compelled, with an anxious and expectant eye, to look abroad for that peace & prosperity, which he can no longer enjoy at home.
The attention of mankind being thus directed towards this country, every thing that relates to its physical, as well as its political interest, will, it is presumed, receive a liberal encouragement. The Author of the present work, therefore, confidently makes the experiment on a new subject, and in a new style of execution. The art of engraving in Aquatinta, has indeed, for some time been held in high estimation throughout Europe; its close imitation of finished drawings, and the free but forcible manner in which it depicts the light and graceful touches of nature, are properties, that seem peculiarly adapted to the American scenery, some of the tints and colors of which are certainly nowhere else to be found.
Exclusive of these advantages, it is likewise in contemplation to render the work a repository of descriptive topographical and historical facts respecting the circumjacent country from which the views were taken: but to give full effect to this part of his undertaking, the author must solicit the assistance of every citizen, who is possessed of authentic information, whether relating to the Natural history, or the memorable events, connected with the respective engraving. The map of the tour will exhibit the relative situation of the views, as well with respect to each other as to the principal Cities and Towns of the several States, commencing at the city of Washington.
As an additional recommendation to the favor of a patriotic public, it may not be improper to observe that the paper and every other article employed in executing the work will be of American manufacture, and of the best quality. Oct. 25 2awtf
Twelve drawings are ready, and the utmost dispatch will be used in preparing and delivering the engravings. Amongst the number alluded to, the following may be mentioned:
1. A view of Mount Vernon, the seat of the President of the United States. 2. Philadelphia. 3. City of Washington. 4. New-York, &c. &c. &c.
It is the design of the Author to finish those objects first, which are most important and interesting; and if the Public patronage shall prove adequate to the expence, he proposes to extend his undertaking to 44 Views, more than the number contained in the present Proposals. In that case, however, the first set of Views will be so arranged, as to form either an independent work for those, who may not wish to renew their subscriptions, or a series connected with the second set for those, who may wish to continue their patronage till the whole is completed.
Letters or other communications for the encouragement, elucidation, or improvement of the work, the Author requests may be addressed to him at New-York.
