On Sunday, January 5, will be published,
At No. 404, Strand, opposite Salisbury-street, (price. only Six.
pence), No. I. of
THE WEEKLY REGISTER, priqted with a
beautiful New Type, cast on purpose, on the largest-sized
Paper, In Quarto,:so as to be bound up at the end of the year, and
form a handsome Library Volume. To complete which, a Fron-
tispiece and an Index will be delivered gratis to the Subscribers.
N. 13. The News from the commencement of the year will be

included in the Fins Number.
At a time when the Metropolis is so inundated with new Jour-
I gals, that the greater nuinbep of them cannot protract their ephe-
meral existence beyond the period of a few months, it may excite
surprise that another Weekly Paper should be attempted, particu-
larly at a price that seems to render remuneration hopeless. But,
10BM:enraging as these circumstances may appear to the general
-selparver, they have little weight with the Gentlemen who have
associated for the establishment of Tar WeELLT Recurrta.—
They arc influenced by higher betts than emolument. They
are sensible that the press is a powerful engine In deciding the
feelings and actions ut mankind; and that, on its just or perverml
use, the happiness of minima greatly depends. Newspapers are
confessedly the most active emanations of this instrument, and
mitong these the Weekly peblications are not the least important;
they are recurred to by the great cless of society, during their
Sunday's interval from Wsour, as affording that view of the
times, in a concentrated form, which the man of leisure is at
liberty to contemplate in the diurnal repositories. A patriotic,
impartial, and well-conducted Weekly Paper, is therefore equally
a moral and political desideratum.
But among the numerous Weekly Papers that are before the
Public, it has blen with pain discolered, that the greater number
are bested in disseminating principles subversive of the happiness
and patrititie virtue of the; topic. To counteract these pernicious
designs is the chief object of the Proprietors of Tar Weetir
Rests rElj but while disdaining to act the pander to the worst
passions of the multitude, let it not be thought . that they are the
,ois of power. No—their country is their idol. They are in
principle and in situation equally independent of patronage. To
:cadet the views of a wise and good adnehistiation will tie their
most pleasing task; but they strill feerk their bounden duty, in-
trepidly, to opposes corrupt OC iNSIVIWO administration, and to
contribute their efforts towards the reoartal of either.
