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, whether it were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors.

L A W S OF THE UNITED STATES.
AN ACT for continuing and regulating the military establishment of the United States, and for repealing sundry acts heretofore passed on that subject.
Sec. 1. BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States in Congress assembled, That the present military establishment of the United States, composed of a corps of artillery and engineers, to consist of nine hundred and ninety two non-commissioned officers, privates and musicians, and of a legion to consist of four thousand eight hundred non-commissioned officers, privates and musicians, be, and the same is hereby continued.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the said corps of artillery and engineers be completed, conformably to the act of the eighth of May last, establishing the same, & prescribing the number and term of enlistments, and the method of organization.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the legion of the United States be also completed, to the number of four thousand eight hundred non-commissioned officers, privates and musicians, by voluntary enlistments for the term of three years, and that the sub-legions composing the same be organized in such manner, as the President of the United States shall direct. Provided nevertheless, That no such enlistment shall be made after three years from the passing of this act.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That it shall be stipulated as a condition in the enlistment for the cavalry, that they shall serve as dismounted dragoons, when ordered so to do, and that in all cases of enlistments of the troops of every description, there be expressly reserved to the government, a right to discharge the whole or any part thereof, at such times, and in such proportions, as may be deemed expedient.

And be it further enacted, That there shall be allowed and paid to each soldier now in the service of the United States or discharged therefrom subsequent to the third day of March last, who shall re-enlist, a bounty of sixteen dollars; And to each person not now in the army of the United States, or discharged as above, who shall hereafter enlist, a bounty of fourteen dollars: but the payment of four dollars of the bounty of each and every man so enlisting, shall be deferred until he shall have joined the corps in which he is to serve.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That every non-commissioned officer, private and musician of the artillery and infantry shall receive, annually the following articles of uniform clothing, to wit:—one hat or helmet, one coat, one vest, two pair of woolen & two pair of linen overalls, 4 pair of shoes, four shirts, two pair of socks one blanket, one flock and clasp, and one pair of buckles. And that there be furnished to the cavalry and riflemen, such clothing as shall be the most suitable and best adapted to the nature of the service, having a regard therein, as nearly as may be to the value of the clothing allowed as above to the infantry and artillery.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That every non-commissioned officer, private and musician shall receive, daily the following rations of provisions, to wit: one pound of beef, or three quarters of a pound of pork, one pound of bread or flour, half a gill of rum, brandy or whiskey, and at the rate of one quart of salt, two quarts of vinegar, two pounds of soap, and one pound of candles, to every hundred rations; or the value thereof, at the contract-price, where the same shall become due; and if, at such post, supplies are not furnished by contract, then such allowances, as shall be deemed equitable, having reference to former contracts, and the position of the place in question.
Sec. 9. Provided always, and be it further enacted, That, to those in the military service of the United States, who are, or shall be employed on the western frontiers, there shall be allowed, during the time of their being so employed, two ounces of flour or bread, and two ounces of beef or pork, in addition to each of their rations, and half a pint of salt in addition to every hundred of their rations.

From the Maryland Herald. Immedicabile vulnus —ricidendum, ne pars sincera trahatur. OVID.
I LIVE in the neighbourhood of one of those little country shops, where the principal article for sale is rum. There I always considered as an extreme nuisance, and was much astonished that our courts would allow them to exist. On expressing my surprise at this to a friend of mine, he told me, that the courts were not to blame; for if sufficient security was offered, they could not refuse a license. I replied, that blame must lie somewhere, otherwise these gangs of society would have long ago been eradicated. We were riding along the road, and by this time had got nearly opposite to one of these country coffee houses. It happened to be on Shrove Tuesday, and there was a prodigious collection of people, young, old and middle aged. I was just going to express my astonishment, to see men grey with age at such a meeting; when my friend touched me on the arm and said don't you see Mr. Statesman and Mr. Justice? In the shop, there was one declaiming over a glass of grog upon the conduct of the last assembly. I could not get near enough to hear him distinctly, but perceived that when he came to the expressions, young lawyers—public money—in dissipation and idleness—Senate—College Bill—he roared them out so loud as to have been heard at half a mile's distance. At last he ended his harangue with bawling out "wait till next election, I'll take care that none but honest men shall go, if they should not know a letter in the book." Passing on a little way in the corner of an old field we saw a circle formed for a cock fight. Two of these animals were paraded on the field of action, with all their arms and accoutrements. A very bold engagement directly ensued, and a number of bets were laid. At last one of the combatants yielded and quit the field, while the other remained strutting and crowing in honor of his victory. The bets now becoming due, a misunderstanding took place between Tom Strife and Andrew Contentious. Strength and not justice was the fixed rule by which the dispute must be ended. Accordingly they stripped and fought. The by standers had several times to interfere to prevent them from gouging out one another's eyes. When Contentious was at last obliged to yield, Strife pursued him with the addition of very hard blows. My friend remarked, "if we may judge from this manner of fighting, cocks are much more honorable animals than men."
After I returned home and went to bed, I fell into a dream; and as philosophers say, that we are apt to dream over what happened to us during the day, my dream was about these rum shops. I thought that I over heard Satan talking to one of his Demons, in the following language. "Pay particular attention, I charge you, to the rum shops, which I have now contrived to have pretty plentifully dispersed thro' the country. I can tell you, this is a scheme by which we shall make more proselytes and promote our interest better than by any other we have lately devised. In the first place, you see, we shall make a considerable part of the neighbourhood of each shop lose a day every week: and not only this, but habits of idleness will increase, and let me tell you, this is no small acquisition in our favor. We shall draw a good deal of money out of their purses, which otherwise they might perhaps have applied to purposes very unfriendly to our
interest—such as the education of their children, or the support of religion. And we shall pretty certainly, by these means, occasion disturbance and discord in families—don't you remember how Will Tippler's wife broke his nose with the broom stick for spending the money at a frolick, which was intended to buy a barrel of corn. Now added to this, I am in great hopes, that with good management, she shall do something in the way of politics. And the next election, I have little doubt but, by a free communication of sentiments, we shall be able to send Tom Tullers, Jammy Turnides and Sam Private-Interest. Thus my good Devil, if you take care of your charge, we shall soon have a very extensive interest. But above all be sure to keep in with Mr. Justice; he is a very useful person; his warrants and judgments create a good many quarrels, and these you know will always be attended by curling, swearing and other such promising works. Upon this I awoke very much affrighted at the thoughts of being so near the Old Deceiver. I have no belief in dreams being prophetic, but believe them to be moral. Whether this was one of that kind I leave the reader to judge.

BARRERE. There has lately been published in Paris a curious pamphlet against Barrere. This pamphlet is supposed to be written by the Deputy Reubell, who has also published the following letter, which he wrote to Barrere in September 1793.
REUBELL TO BARRERE. "TO my surprise and regret, my dear Barrere. I observe in two journals of the Mountain, that certain persons were solicited to prevail upon the committee of public safety to confer on Rossignol the sole conduct of military operations in La Vendee. That Rossignol should be desirous to procure him that appointment is not to be wondered at, when we consider that Rossignol is a creature of his: but as there is not a man in the army who is not convinced that Rossignol is not a general; that he is only an upstart; that all the intriguers who surround him mould him to their wishes; as he acknowledges himself to be only a goldsmith, and that he does not possess the least qualification for a command of such magnitude, we cannot confer it upon him without incurring an imputation of treason, or at least becoming accessories to his inability.—We set a light value indeed on the lives of so many brave men as a general has at his disposal, and on whom the safety of the republic in some measure depends, if we propose Rossignol as commander in chief. If it be the determination to perpetuate the war in La Vendee for the purpose of enriching a horde of robbers, or if it be a fact, that all our cavillers are at Pitt's devotion, or that our country is to sink under their machinations, admit me into the secret, that I may speedily terminate my career, rather than become a spectator of such disasters and convulsions. Some have the audacity to state that Rossignol possesses the confidence of the troops. The contrary is the fact. He has not even the affections of the most abandoned profligate, and I will venture to affirm, that he will never have the confidence of the army on their march from Mentz. Rossignol is so detested in the country, and our troops had such an aversion to him, that it was almost impossible for us to make them stand by their colours."
"To conclude: these falsehoods with which they overwhelm you do not astonish us. They who can gravely assert that Cholet and Montagne are taken; that twenty thousand rebels have been killed; that a few royalists alone, destitute of ammunition and provisions, remain; that Nantz and Le Sables, are in no danger; that the army of the coasts of Breist had driven the rebels eight leagues from Nantz; they, I say, who can make such assertions, are capable of any thing."
"They speak to you of nothing but victories gained by your generals, although these same generals are in the habit of losing their cannon and their waggons. The generals vanish over their defeats, and forget their ill success in the pleasures of the table, or in the arms of prostitutes, with whom they concert calumnies against those who are of a different opinion from them: I leave off here, my dear Barrere; if I were to proceed, I should write a whole volume. Goupilleau and Bourdon de l'Oise were adverse to the plan of campaign which has been adopted—I know what I should have to expect, if this letter were to come to the knowledge
of those persons. But what does it signify? My head, sinking under the weight of calumny, would fall upon the scaffold with perfect tranquility. (Signed) REUBELL."
From the Columbian Centinel. ANOTHER POLITICAL EPITAPH. A PARODY.
Haeret lateri lethalis arundo, ARRESTED in the high road to War- fare and Confusion, and Stab'd to the heart, by three Champl- ons from the temple of Virtue. In agonies the most convulsive (as ap- pears from their dying addresses) Within the last two Months, The JACOBIN CLUBS, Have finished the Career of a short Inglorious life.
Ye little flippant, mercurial, intangible Genii who flutter over the evaporation of Modern patriotism. Hover, I beseech ye, with peculiar com- placence, around their departed Spirits.
Waft them, on your silken wings, to the vale of Oblivion. and gently blend them with the fogs and vapours, that exhale from Lethe's fountain: I say, gently, Lest their tenuous essence prove too volatile, to undergo the Chemistry. Though vicious asperities, their very attempt to become destruc- tive,
afforded new proof of their incapacity to injure. The CLUBS, prompted by the delusive hope of attaining to posts of Honor, which they never merited, And misguided by opinions which they never digested, Incautiously venturing to arraign Laws and Constitutions, which they had never read, They raised a Rebellion in America and the Guillotine in France. These wicked measures cost them their lives—
They fell at last bigots to anarchy, Without the prospect of acquiring the name of Martyrs. As a warning to all MEN to shun Institutions of the kind, This EPITAPH is inscribed, By the FEDERAL REPUB- Licans.

NEW-YORK, March, 29.
From the American Minerva.
We have published an account from Philadelphia, of some uneasiness among the settlers at Wioming in that state, and the prospect of an insurrection. We regret that the controversy respecting the right of soil has not yet been amicably adjusted.—A revival of the controversy with its former asperity would give rise to disagreeable consequences. The proceedings of claimants, under the Connecticut title, will account for the report from Philadelphia.
SUSQUEHANNAH.
AGREEABLY to a Notification published in conformity to a vote of the Connecticut Susquehannah Company, 1200 proprietors of said company, being a large majority convened on the 18th day of February, 1796, by themselves or agents at the dwelling house of Mr. James Irwin, in the township of Athens and county of Luzerne, and state of Pennsylvania, Inn-keeper, and having elected Elisha Hyde, Esq. Moderator, and David Paine, clerk of said meeting, and having heard read a charter of Charles the second, late king of Great Britain, &c. bearing date the 14th of April, 1662, granting to the inhabitants of Connecticut all the lands &c. lying and being in New-England, situated on the north by the Massachusetts plantation; on the East by the Narraganset Bay on the South by the Sound, and in Longitude of and within all the breadth aforesaid throughout the main land to the South Sea on the west part, together with the privileges, &c. and also sundry statutes acts, deeds, and other documents granting and confirming the claim and title of certain lands, to said company described and bounded as follows, viz beginning from the one and fortieth degree of North Latitude at ten miles distant East of the river to the forty second or the beginning of the forty third degree of North latitude and to extend west two degrees of Longitude one hundred and twenty miles, and

Adjourned until the 20th instant at nine o'clock in the morning, to meet in the same place.
On the 30th instant, (February) 19th 9 o'clock in the morning, the meeting opened and passed several resolutions and made some rules and regulations ordered for publication: of which the following are extracts.
This meeting, entertaining, a high sense of the importance of order and good government, will use their utmost endeavours to prevent any ill disposed persons without due authority, unlawfully intruding, surveying, or attempting to seize and settle any of the aforesaid lands; will assist in preserving the public peace—afford a just protection to the property of the real owners and such settlers as enter on the same peaceably and in due course of law and under the real proprietors thereof; being fully determined, in a constitutional and legal manner, only to maintain and defend the title and claim which the aforesaid company have to the aforesaid lands and also to recover such parts thereof, as are possessed in opposition thereto.
Resolved, That the following persons, to wit, Col. Zebulon Butler, Col. John Franklin, Gen. Simon Spalding, Col. John Jenkins, and Maj. Elisha Satterlee, of the county of Luzerne and state of Pennsylvania; Timothy Edwards of Stockbridge, county of Berkshire, commonwealth of Massachusetts, Esq. Doctor Joseph Hamilton, of the city of Hudson, county of Columbia, and state of New-York; Peter Loap, jun. of the town of New Town, county of Tioga, and state of New-York, Esq. and William Judd, of the town of Farmington, in the county of Hartford, and state of Connecticut, Esq.—be commissioners of said company.
That each proprietor exhibit his claim to one of the said commissioners, on or before the first day of March, 1796, or that the same be considered as forfeited.
Resolved, That Col. John Franklin be the clerk, and David Paine the assistant clerk, of this company: that Col. John Franklin be the treasurer of this company.
That Col. John Franklin and Col. John Jenkins be agents for this company to attend on any actions commenced, or which shall hereafter be commenced, against any person or persons, in possession of any of the lands claimed under the Susquehannah company aforesaid, wherever the interest of the company is concerned.
That Col. John Jenkins be the Surveyor of this company; and his duty shall be to superintend all surveys and locations that shall be made in the Susquehannah purchase; and also to make an actual survey, or otherwise ascertain the exact boundaries of all grants heretofore given by and under the said company, and make a general plan of said purchase: and the said surveyor is hereby authorised to depute so many surveyors, who shall be deemed and accepted deputies, as he shall deem necessary.
Resolved, That this meeting be adjourned until the first Monday in June, 1796; then to meet at the house of James Irwin, in the town of Athens, on Tioga Point, at 10 o'clock, A. M.

MORE ABOUT POWDER.
The Governor in his first address to the Legislature recommended in the strongest terms the indispensable necessity of an inspection law—The retailers and manufacturers of powder have petitioned the delegated guardians of their rights to pass an inspection act.
A bill for that purpose, read, reported & printed, now lays before the house, and 'tis conceived ought no longer to be procrastinated, but enacted into a law the present session.
We are informed that the American academy for the encouragement of the Fine Arts will open with a Lecture on Anatomy at 7 o'clock this evening at the Philosophical Hall.

A most wonderful Change appears to have taken place in the sentiments of the Aurora scribblers—from being the Denunciators of

Extract of a letter from Boston, dated March 22d.
"In this part of the continent, Jacobinism is in the last stage of dissolution. It was long since pronounced that the French would learn us how to destroy the monster—They have: But as their disease has been more violent, their remedy was proportionate. Our need-ed not the acumen of their's. For the Jacobins have fallen by the public opinion, and they are nearly dead. Peace to their ashes! when the desirable event takes place, I say. A perfect calm pervades Massachusetts. We have a few electioneering skirmishes: But the God of Israel always guided and directed his people. I hope they will still continue under his divine protection. To-morrow, in three of the districts, they try again. Our friend Dexter is opposed by Col. Varnum. The contest will be a tight one, and success is doubtful.—"What lies could do is done already—Hell and Earth can witness, if Varnum falls, the Jacobins are innocent." But if they succeed, they will mistake the man. I have been in company with him several evenings since the last trial. He is more than half federal; and if he had not supposed that way to get in, he would be wholly so. But events must tell. Gen. Cobb has declined serving. I am sorry for it—His election was nearly certain. Mr. Leonard will be the man. He, you know, is federal.—Mr. Bailey Bartlett, a good federalist, has also declined; and we expect Mr. Bradbury will be elected. A firmer federalist never did honor to the boards of Congress.—He has capacity enough to twist an hundred of—round his finger, in fair, manly argument, and he never will descend to declamation, rant and personality. You certainly knew Freeman, who is elected vice Mr. Coffin. He is the one who pronounced the handsome eulogium on Governor Bowdoin, at the time he took his second degree. He is, you may depend, a clever fellow, and has spunk enough. The anti's caught a Tartar when they fixed upon him. He has not approved of one or two of the acts of Congress, and was opposed to the state suitability business. But that is done away.—Parson Read, also, is not a — or a —. He has been a little disappointed, but being a man who really loves his country, and would support measures calculated to promote her felicity, a little insight into the "things that make for her peace," would fix him right."

HOMER.
THAT HE NEVER EXISTED! "Who was this Homer?" says the Sieur de GIRARDET, a French writer. "Is not his very existence founded on an equivocation?" For I remark, that the word Homeros , is exactly the Hebrew Homeros , which signifies rewards , and that name was commonly given to poetical narrations of important events.
"We know nothing of his birth, life or death. It is astonishing that we should be so little acquainted with such a celebrated man, who is said to have left children behind him. His Iliad and Odyssey were scarcely known in Greece before Lycurgus Aristarchus arranged them in 24 books, by order of Pisistratus. They then bore the name of Rhapsodies, or Poems sewed together."
"Were not these detached pieces taken from the sacred writings, preserved in the Bethels , containing the annals, histories of remarkable events, and lessons
of morality; in short, these writings called in Assyria, Homerock ?"
These conjectures are curious.—What say the critics, and the biographers of Homer?

French attack on GRENADA.
By the arrivals of Captain Savage, from Santa Cruz, and Captain Lines from Antigua, as stated below, it would appear that the French have made a descent on Grenada. The former mentions the preparation of the French forces at Guadalupe—and the latter that news had been received at Martinico of the arrival of a French fleet at Grenada. Capt. Savage, of the brig Hope , in 20 days from Santa Cruz, says that he failed seven days previously, from Point Petre Guadalupe, and that a fleet of 11 sail of frigates and armed brigs and gun-boats, with a number of troops were preparing to sail on a secret expedition.
The mate of the brig Susan , arrived yesterday 18 days from Antigua, informs that 2 days previous to his failing a small vessel had arrived from Martinico with British invalids, and reported that news had been received at Martinico of a French fleet and a number of land forces having arrived from Guadalupe and landed at the Island of Grenada.

IMPORTANT & INTERESTING.
THIS day arrived here, the Ship America , Capt. Ewing, in 39 days from Havre de Grace.
The INTELLIGENCE by this Arrival is as follows:— That about the 20th January—Rotterdam and Amsterdam surrendered to the French Army—that in consequence, 12 sail of the line—Thirty Six Frigates and one thousand Sail of Merchantmen fell into the hands of the Conquerors—That the British Army had retreated to the Island of Zealand—from whence it was supposed they had embarked for England—and that the Stadtholder and his Family, had already arrived there.
That the French Fleet had returned into Port, three Sail of which were missing, supposed to have foundered in a great Storm, which had overtaken the fleet—and that the English fleet were at Torbay.
We further learn that all the United Provinces had submitted to the French except the province of Zealand—that the States General had been in Session—and had sent to the Inhabitants of Zealand, advising them to submit, for that all further resistance would be in vain.
Papers received by the America, state that a complete revolution is effected in the United Provinces, that a convention had been called and a new Constitution adopted on the 7th February. That on the 7th January the Stadtholder asked leave of the States General to be absent from the country—which was immediately granted—that the new government of Holland had sent to England to demand several Dutch men of war which were there.
The foregoing intelligence we believe is substantially true, and may be depended on.

"Here smooth CANALS, across th' extended plain
Stretch their long arms to join the distant main.
The sons of toil, with many a weary stroke
Scoop the hard bosom of the solid rock;
Resistless through the it 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 waste the silver urn they
pour;
And cheer the barren heath, or sullen moor.
"The traveler, 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 vessel spread
Now meeting stream in art's unaided guide
While each, unmingled, pours a separate tide;
Now, through the hidden veins of earth
they flow
And visit sulphurous mines and caves be-
low.
The double streams obey the guiding hand,
And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND!

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. The beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them, when completed, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net production 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 these 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 synopsis 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 fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.

American Landscapes. PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING IN AQUATINTA TWENTY-FOUR VIEWS.
Selected from the most striking and interesting Prospects in the United States; each of which VIEWS will be accompanied with a descriptive account of its Local, Historical, and other Incidental Peculiarities.
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 industry 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 uninteresting 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 soil 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 to 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 no where 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 expense, he proposes to extend his undertaking to 24 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.
Subscriptions are received by Mr. Harrison, at his Print-shop, Maidenlane, New-York by Mr. Carey, Book-seller, No. 118, Market street, Philadelphia, and by all the principal Book-sellers in the United States.
