WETTENHALL'S GREEK GRAMMAR.
JUST PUBLISHED, AND FOR SALE AT WILLIAM P. FARRAND & CO's. Classical Book-Store, No. 185, Market-Street, FARRAND'S EDITION OF WETTENHALL'S GREEK GRAMMAR.
An Edition literally translated into English, as far as possible; with a full variation of the examples of Adjectives; also, variations of a participle in each tense: with a table of Abbreviations explained.
The translator has been politely favoured with the following letters, which he offers as testimonials in favour of his Edition of WETTENHALL'S GRAMMAR.
DEAR SIR, You ask my opinion, whether it be better that a Greek Grammar, intended for the use of schools should be in Latin or in English; and I can give it the more readily, as my opinion is and ever has been what, I presume, you would, on this occasion wish it to be.
I think, that not only the Greek, but all other Grammars, which have occasion to use in our schools, should be in English: because it is certainly desirable, that whatever is to be committed to memory should first be, if possible, perfectly understood; and because I am persuaded, that even the best of our scholars understand their native language better than any other.
If, in proposing to me this question, you have been influenced by any solicitude with respect to the demand which there may be for your translation of WETTENHALL, I am confident that it is wholly unnecessary, for, if I am not much mistaken, there will hereafter be little or no demand, in any part of the United States, for any other Wittenhall than that with which you are now about to furnish us.
I have looked over it as far as your Translation goes; and though I cannot say, that I find in it no inaccuracies, yet I can say truly, that there are but very few, and those of no great consequence; whilst, as to the quality of the paper, the size and neatness of the type, and the general correctness which every where prevails in it, it is far superior to any other edition of that work which has been hitherto published in this place.
JOHN ANDREWS. MR. WM. P. FARRAND.
SIR, The Professors in Dickinson College, who have carefully examined the first sheets of your English translation of WETTENHALL'S GREEK GRAMMAR, observe, with pleasure, that the work is executed in an accurate manner—the additional notes are highly useful, and the type is neat and elegant. It is their wish and hope, that your performance—a work that must have cost much pains and expense—may be duly estimated by the publick, and that it may encourage and aid studious young men to acquire an accurate knowledge of one of the most admired and useful languages of antiquity. On behalf of the Faculty, ROBERT DAVIDSON, President. MR. WM. P. FARRAND.
DEAR SIR, For almost a century, common sense has exhibited and rejected the absurdity of teaching the Roman tongue by the use of a grammar written only in the language it is intended to illustrate, and to which the pupil is a perfect stranger. As at the time youths begin the study of Greek, their acquaintance with the Latin is very partial, the operation of the same principle is correcting the impropriety of teaching the elements of the Greek through the medium of that language. This is the more necessary, as in some grammars, particularly in Dr. WETTENHALL'S, the style has in it more of the refined elegance of the scholar than of the requisite simplicity of the teacher.
Contemplating the correctness of your translation, the useful notes you have added, and the general utility of the work, I cannot avoid expecting as well as hoping that in its extensive circulation you will find your deserved reward. W. STAUGHTON. MR. WM. P. FARRAND. Philadelphia, October 25. 489

THE subscriber owes some money, which he is determined shall be speedily paid; added to which his low state of health, calls loudly for his retirement from business. He therefore offers his stock of goods for sale, on the most liberal terms—This assortment has been selected from the best importations within the last twelve months; and amounts to about $2000. currency. As the situation occupied by him is not equalled by any other in the lower country, and as it can be obtained for a number of years, he hopes some of his friends will consider it their advantage to purchase the goods, and take the stand—Nothing but the second reason assigned in this advertisement, would induce him to quit the stand—But owing to his health he must and will quit business, for some time at least. He has two small crafts, and a quantity of naval stores and lumber subject to his creditors. JOHN K. RANDOLPH. N.B. Those indebted must make payment in sixty days or give their bonds.

VALUABLE LAND FOR SALE.
THE Subscriber, intending to leave this State, wishes to dispose of the Land he at present resides on. It is a tract of EIGHT HUNDRED ACRES, beautifully situated upon the Cape Charles; having the Atlantick upon one side, and the Chesapeake upon another. There is upon it as good a FISHERY as any in Virginia. There are interspersed throughout the plantation, a number of SALT SPRINGS, so strongly impregnated with salt as to bear a new-laid egg. Oysters, Cockles, and Fish of all kinds may be obtained from the waters immediately at the door. The land is very productive, esteemed annually good for 500 barrels Indian Corn, and 2000 bushels of Oats, and is now in capital order. The Fishery alone has yielded, in one spring, upwards of 700l. In short there are but very few Plantations offered for Sale, which unite so many advantages; and nothing but a desire to pursue his professional business could induce the present proprietor to sell it. Should it not be sold before the Fall, it will be leased for a term of years. Conditions will be made known on application to Thomas V. Custis. On the Premises. May 3. 1aw 648
POLYGRAPHICK PAINTING.
THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively practised by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe; who proposes to execute, by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespeare Gallery, New-York, by permission of the Proprietor: being A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON, Supported by Liberty, Virtue, and Justice. Virtue is holding the emblem of the reward she merited. In the right of the piece, America, characterised as an Ab-Original, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is a Painting turning to History, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer, "THERE IS NONE MORE WORTHY THAN WASHINGTON." The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the publick to the publick. To those who esteem his publick services and his private worth, and to the Patrons of improvements in the fine arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already furnished with different engravings on this subject, will, it is hoped, still find room for the present undertaking, when they consider, that it will be a Painting, and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil painting—that it requires no glass—that while their prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegoric figures. The price also is reduced so as to leave, on comparative merits, no objection. Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery, (which is very little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia, and Bonsal, Conrad & Co. Norfolk. June 15. 1aw3 764

If the following case is correctly reported, we are much astonished to find that any person, who has been appointed the Judge of an Admiralty Court, should affect to be ignorant of principles that have been so well settled in the Courts of England...
The principle settled is, that neutrals may trade with an enemy's colony, to and from their own country, but not to the mother country from the colony. In this case some attempt might have been made to shew that going from Havana to Matanzas was a coasting voyage...
The want of uniformity in the decisions of the British Vice Admiralty Courts is attended with infinite vexation to our commerce, it being impossible to know when we are engaged in what they may pronounce a legal commerce or otherwise.
It is true that the Judge has reserved the right of deciding upon the legality of the trade hereafter. But we ask for what purpose is the proof mentioned required? For if it does appear (as no doubt it must) that Spain does not permit the trade in time of peace...
An interlocutory sentence is attended with serious consequences to the American master, who must either wait the final sentence, or take his vessel and cargo at an appraised value; in the latter case, the person who becomes his security charges a commission of five per cent. on the value of the vessel and cargo.
NASSAU, June 25.
DECREE OF THE COURT OF VICE-ADMIRALTY On these Islands, in the case of the American brig Juno, Captain Packard, from the Havana and Matanzas to Providence (R. I.) and sent in by the privateer armed vessel Mayflower, Capt George Johnson.
This was the case of an American vessel, taken on a voyage from the Port of Matanzas, in the Island of Cuba, to Rhode Island, in America, with a cargo of Molasses and Sugars. It appeared that the vessel had first gone to the Havana, where she had taken on board a part of her cargo...
On the part of the Captors it was contended, that by going from the Havana to the Matanzas, which port neutrals were never allowed to enter for the purpose of trade, in time of peace, the vessel must be considered as engaged in a new and unusual trade...
On the other hand, it was alleged, on behalf of the Claimant, that the voyage was perfectly fair and such as a Belligerent had no right to interrupt. The documents were all formal and regular; and that the vessel and cargo ought to be restored.
His honour the judge by his decree, ordered further proof to be adduced, to prove that neutrals during peace had been permitted to enjoy the trade in which this vessel was engaged, (reserving the right of ultimately deciding upon the question—how far such a trade is allowable during hostilities) and left it open to both parties to enter into such proof.
Extract of a Letter from Grand Turk, (Bahamas) dated June 1.
“About four weeks ago two stout French privateers, a brig and a schooner, arrived in our channel, under American colours, and at first much alarmed the inhabitants. They captured one of our boats coming from the Caicos, and after endeavouring in vain, to persuade one of the negroes belonging to her, to become their pilot, they purchased and paid for a turtle at a very liberal price, and released their boat.
On the appearance of the privateers, our Government started the idea of declaring martial law, but it was lost on a division in the Cabinet. The other day a captain of a vessel had a quantity of coals to go on board, and as a great number lay scattered about the wharf, he thought it would be best to get a rake that he might more speedily collect them together; he went into a counting house and enquired of the merchant, whether he could have the loan of a rake for a few minutes?

BRITISH PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. FRIDAY, MAY 10.
Petition of the Roman Catholicks of Ireland. (Continued.) Lord HAWKESBURY.—“My lords, the speech which your lordships have just heard, I am free to own, claims no ordinary share of attention. It is, from the nature of the subject, important; and it would be to insinuate what could not be deemed fair, to say that, intrinsically, it is not important.
Lord GRENVILLE.—“My lords, this is too much. I appeal to your lordships, if I might, I would appeal to every honest man who hears me, whether the noble lord be in order; and, above all, whether he does not offend against the order of our proceedings.
Lord HAWKESBURY.—“I say my lords, that, to my mind, the noble lord did convey the impression which I have attempted, however feebly, to represent in words to your lordships. I cannot be supposed to insinuate, that I have done any thing but collected the general spirit of the observations of the noble lord, which, if I have not faithfully developed, your lordships will judge.
The noble lord has not thought proper to explain distinctly the object of his motion. He has left it to general consideration, and almost infinite details. The whole may be granted, or none granted; for if you consent to go into a committee, it would seem as if the utmost wishes of the noble lord would readily be, in all other views, gratified.
nobleman who is in the lieutenancy of Ireland, to prevent its being agitated in the present conjuncture.
But as, after all that has been done to point out to the petitioners the right line of their duty, they have thought proper to commit their interests to a party avowedly hostile to his Majesty's government.
My lords, my opinions are not hastily formed. I have considered this subject some years. The investigation of the question before us to-night has occupied my mind a very long period indeed; yet though my opinion is, that the present time is improper, it is not founded on the circumstance of the impropriety as to time, but on general merit.
As to this feeling of toleration, something it may, however, be requisite to remark, in order to justify myself in the vote I shall give this night, and with reference to the deductions which I shall feel it incumbent on me to infer from the arguments which I shall submit to your lordships.
With this view of the subject, I come to the principles of the law and constitution, those principles which have been considered the best support of the throne in Church and State; the bulwarks of our institutions, and guarantee of safety to our country.
Let us look at the present question as bearing upon, or affected by, our laws. The great and first principle of the law, by the act of Settlement, is, that the King of this country is a Protestant, and holds communion with the Church of England, as by law established.
Arguing, ab initio, you might say, indeed, that, in the case of the crown, you would remit the law; but how unaccountable to allege that the crown shall be Protestant, and yet its advisers need not. The crown was treated as the subject in the time of Charles II.
As to political power your lordships will, however, look to it with jealousy, and will not place it in unscrupulous hands; in hands in which it can be abused with the view of political supremacy.
As to the consideration of the question, on the ground of time, I wholly differ in opinion from the noble Baron; and contend that the most dangerous time we could choose is that when the power ruling in France is closely connected as it is with the Pope of Rome.
With these sentiments, thinking, that if we do grant the Catholicks more indulgence, thinking that the speech of the noble Baron goes to the abrogation, not only of the Catholick, but of the corporation, settlement, and all the test Laws; not thinking that the noble lord has established any one position in his speech, believing that in the circumstance of Europe, and the world, at this time, it would be peculiarly unfortunate and unpropitious, if the demands of the Catholicks were yielded, I, my lords, cannot but be most decidedly inimical to the present motion.
His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND felt it in a peculiar degree his duty to give the most decided opposition to the proposition before the house, the objects of which were directly subversive to all

those principles which placed the House of Bruns- wick on the throne of this realm. He entreated their Lordships to consider maturely the nature of the ques- tion before him. Was it not to give the Roman Ca- tholicks admission to all the offices of power and emolument in the state? Was it not directly to sub- vert the principles of our constitution as established at the revolution? Was it not to do away those fun- damental laws which constituted the life and soul of that revolution? and could it be possible their lordships would, for one moment, entertain a measure so far, as to go into a committee in order to deliberate upon the propriety of its adoption, which measure had for its objects, the attainment of purposes so subversive to the established constitution in church and state.
Earl SPENCER supported the motion of his noble friend, after whose most able and argumentative speech his lordship did not feel it necessary to trouble the House at much length. If he could think either the motion brought forward by his noble friend, or the speech with which he so eloquently supported that motion, could have, in the most distant degree, the tendency attributed by the noble secretary, of injur- ing the church and state as established by law in the realm, or shaking the throne of the House of Bruns- wick, he could assure their lordships he would have been one of the foremost to resist it. He certainly agreed with the noble secretary, that this was a ques- tion which ought to be discussed with calmness, can- dour, and moderation, but was sorry to observe the noble secretary himself the very first to depart from that temper and moderation which had so uniformly characterized the whole speech of his noble friend. With respect to the persons who signed that petition, he thought the noble lord had gone much farther than the known respectability of their characters could warrant, or that the noble secretary himself could on reflection approve: and as to the assertions of the noble secretary, that the catholicks of Ireland ac- knowledged any allegiance to a foreign power, he was at a loss to know where he found the argument, for it was quite new to him. They acknowledged, in- deed the supremacy of the Pope as a spiritual director, but, by the most solemn oaths that could bind the veracity of man, they had repeatedly disavowed all temporal or political allegiance to any foreign power whatever; and pledged themselves, by every test re- quired of them, to the firmest allegiance to his ma- jesty, and the established constitution of these realms; and unless their oaths were to be believed, there could be no security for life or property in any state where they exist.
If it were true, that the object of the catholicks was the attainment of political power for purposes inim- ical to the state, why then not allow the motion of his noble friend for going into a committee, not merely for the purpose of inquiring into the expediency of granting new privileges to the catholicks, but to in- quire how far those already granted had been wisely given, or properly exercised; or how far it might be right even to repeal all the laws of concession and indulgence passed in their favour during his majesty's reign. With respect to any danger of subverting the protestant religion, to set up their own in its place, the noble secretary himself acknowledged and pro- ved, that the conspirators in the late unfortunate re- bellion, catholicks as well as protestants, totally denied any such object:—There was however, obvious cause, from recent experience, to apprehend, that so long as the system of restraints and disqualifica- tions was kept up against so great a majority of the people in Ireland, jealousies and disgusts must rankle in their bosoms, and constantly expose the lower or- ders especially to listen to the machinations of any designing conspirators, who would convert their grievances into a stimulus of insurrection. To have granted already to the lower orders of the catholicks the elective franchise, and every immunity appropri- ate to their rank, and to refuse to the higher and wealthier orders the privileges of their rank, was to cast a stigma upon them wholly unwarranted by their conduct.
Lord STAMOURT professed his inclination to follow the example of the noble baron, and to discuss the important question which was before their lordships, with that temper and moderation that was necessary in considering it. Whatever sentiments he enter- tained respecting it, he would avow them plainly and frankly, and he would begin by saying, that though he would go as far in whatever regarded toleration as any of their lordships, he was not prepared to go to the extreme extent proposed by the noble baron. He listened to what fell from the noble baron with all the attention and respect that was due to whatever came from him; he heard him with that pleasure that he always did, but it was a pleasure mingled with astonishment and surprise. When he recollected how greatly that noble lord distinguished himself in combating doctrines which led to all the calamities under which a great portion of the people was actual- ly suffering, and he feared would long suffer, it was not without extensive astonishment that he heard him on this night maintain doctrines, the direct ten- dency of which was the introduction of all those in- novating principles against which he had so manfully and successfully struggled. Before he entered upon the question, he would take the opportunity of declar- ing, that he entirely concurred with his noble friend, the secretary of state, in giving full credit to the Ca- tholicks for their loyalty and attachment both to the constitution and the beneficent sovereign at the head of it. Their conduct, he would acknowledge, for a series of years, had been highly meritorious. He was not inclined to withhold from them the rewards due to that loyalty & attachment; but those rewards, he understood, had been granted to them as fully as they could possibly require. Toleration they enjoyed in as ample a degree as it could be accorded to them; but toleration was not what they now pressed for; it was for undefined privileges, insidiously suggested under the phrase of catholick emancipation; a very convenient term, he would confess, for those who had other views to answer, but certainly one not calcula- ted to promote the object of the petitioners.
The noble baron who commenced the debate had adopted, for him at least, rather a novel line of ar- gument. He began by arraignment the policy adopted by our ancestors, and which, with little variation had been followed until the last twenty years. What, he would ask any noble lord, was the plain object of the petition? Was it not to get rid of the oath of su- premacy and the declaration, measures which the wisdom of those who went before us thought indis- pensable for the maintenance of the constitution? There was not one of those measures which could not be justified by reference to the history of the country. He would admit, however, that those laws were forced upon Ireland. In making that declara- tion, he spoke from his conscience, and with the re- gret of an honest Englishman; it could not be denied that they were forced upon that country by a cruel and overbearing necessity. [His lordship here went into an historical narrative of the different plots and insurrections which led to the restrictions upon the catholicks of Ireland.] He contended, that our an- cestors were justified, by those various acts of treason and rebellion, to impose the severe laws they had done upon such of the population of that country as professed the Roman catholick persuasion. Some of the most severe of those statutes were passed in the reign of William, than whom no prince or man ever entertained a truer notion of, or more sincere at- tachment to genuine and rational liberty. [The no- ble Viscount went through the history of the political restraints upon the catholicks down to the com- encement of the present reign.] Under the con- stitution, as it stood at present, he would ask, what were the inconveniences felt by the catholicks?
Were they not as fully protected in their liberty, as any other description of his majesty's subjects? He called upon any friend of the catholicks to point out a single statute in our legislative code which bore hard upon the catholicks. He was persuaded, if any such did exist, that it was only necessary to point it out, to induce its repeal. He acknowledged that many of the arguments which had been formerly urged against extending any indulgence to the catho- licks, were no longer applicable. He was free to confess that the existence of a pretender to the throne could no longer be urged as an argument against their claims; and if he thought that the ef- fect of conceding the substance of the petition would be to unite the mass of the population of Ireland, per- haps he might not have been disposed to oppose it so decidedly as he found himself under the necessity of doing; but when he saw the catholicks almost undisguisedly endeavouring, not to make themselves a part of the state, but the state itself, that was an object which he could never be induced to grant them. It was not merely a civil right, but political power, in the most comprehensive signification of the term, which they sought to attain. One consequence of acceding to what they demanded in their petition would be, that their clergy would acquire an author- ity which they, with the peculiar tenets of their reli- gion, and the facilities it afforded, it was much to be feared, would convert to a dangerous use. He called upon the House to think of two such dangerous pow- ers as those of excommunication and auricular con- fession, and then to say whether they would open a door to all the dangers that might accrue to the na- tional church from the employment of such engines. The catholick clergy, there was too much reason to apprehend, had never relinquished the hope of be- coming the hierarchy of the country. He had the authority of lord Clare for declaring that there exist- ed consistorial courts in every diocese in Ireland, and that there had been a person residing at Rome charged to watch over the interests of the Irish Ca- tholick church. Nay more, there was not a dignity in the established church which had not its counter- part in the catholick church.
The ostensible object, and perhaps the real object, of the petitioners was plain enough; but was that object the subject of the great body of catholicks in Ireland?—Would not that body be inclined to extend their views a little farther? Would they not natur- ally look to the exaltation of their clergy, and to di- vers other privileges, which could not be granted to them without imminent danger to the present consti- tution in church and state? If the House should man- ifest a disposition to concede to them even the limit- ed object they demanded, it could not be done with- out the certain sacrifice of the act of settlement. What he would ask, would be the consequences at an election in Ireland, if the catholicks should be allow- ed to become members of the legislative body? In this country we had seen the tumult and inconveni- ences produced by the attachment of a certain descrip- tion of the people to an individual. Whatever they were, they would be infinitely aggravated in that country where numbers would be found contending with property. He could not bring himself to con- cede what was required by the petition. It seemed to him a monstrous and shocking proposition to be called to place the catholicks in a different state from the rest of his majesty's subjects, owing only a limited allegiance. He called on the House to pre- serve their protestant King and their protestant par- liament, and to recollect that it was a protestant par- liament which rescued the nation from the dangers of a popish King. He exhorted their lordships to follow the example of their protestant deliverer, and to resolve to die in the last ditch of the constitution, both in church and state, rather than abandon one principle of either. There were two roads before their lordships: One of them was that old, venera- ble, and well known way, which had been struck out for them by their ancestors; in pursuing that they could encounter no dangers. The other was a way un trodden and dangerous, leading to innovations, the consequences of which no human foresight could reach. He was not prepared to rush needlessly into a path leading to such desperate results, and would consequently oppose the motion for referring the peti- tion to a committee.
Lord MULGRAVE declared himself a decided friend to the catholick claims, but thought the pre- sent period improper for discussing them. (To be Continued.)
