ANEW CYCLOPEDIA; or, COMPENDIOUS
DICTIONARY of ARTS and SCIENCES; including
every MODERN DISCOVERY, and the PRESENT STATE.
of every BRANCH of HUMAN KNOWLEDGE,
By G. GREGORY, D.D.
The following are the immediate advantages which are
_pro-
mised to the purchasers of this work.
I. It exhibits a compendium of all human knowledge, more
luminous because cleared of all extraneous matter, in which that
has been preferred which is practical, to that which is specula-
, tive ; and it is occupied chLfly by the most useful bunches.
11. It is of a convenient and comparatively portable size, calcu-
lated to lie on the table of every studious person, as a book it
constant reference. The retrenchment of many superfluous and
useless articles, having caused a considerable reduction in size,
without impairing the intrinsic value and general utility of the
work. _ _

111. It is printed so a' to correspond with the quarto editions
of Johnson's Dictionary; and the possessors of both works thus
have, In a rnoier.ae compass, and at a moderate expence, all the
compendious literary aid which can be desired in the form of 'Dic-
tionary .
IV. The work is neatly printed in a new and elegant type, on
supi-rfine yellow wove paper. The copper-plates have been en-
graved chiefly from original drawi.lgs, by the first artists, and are
equal to any plates ever given t. the public in a week of this ale-
ture. And this Dictionary having been completed since every
other, it demands a preference, as containing all the latest
im-
provement/ and discoveries in every brao,i of knowledge.
Printed for RICRA&D Pattatrs, No. 6, Bridge-street, Black-
friars; and to be had of all BOoksellers, Newsmen, and other
dealers in beaks in the gaited Kingdom. •

MON/TOME AU IiONITEUR.

_
Internal evidence is sufficient to prove the falsehood
of the Moniteur of September 22, in giving what it is I
pleased to call 66 London News." But we have an
external proof of some importance. Under this head
the Mc/ulcer gives the news from London papers, '
sometimes faithfully, sometimes with additions
and corrections, but it always mentions the name of
the paper. This is not done in the present case : the ar-
ticle is therefore a fabrication clear and palpable. The
Notes which the. Moniteur founds on its extracts from
the Time: deserve some notice :
Aiwuteue.—" The English were beaten on the Els% and their
Dead-quarters were removed backwards."
Had BONAPARTE written this after the Conventi,m,
he might indeed have had some reason to boast.—
But he speaks of the battle of Vimeira ; and he re-
ceived his intelligence either from the English papers,
or from Portugal. If from the former, there was no
difference in the national feeling of the triumph ob-
tained by our arms. If from the latter, the exulta-
tion was still more vivid. In any case, he must have
known that KELLERMAN had arrived in the English
camp with offers of submission. The Monitcur for-
merly gave, indeed, a colouring to facts ; but it did
not utter such deliberate falsehoods : 66 0, Lucifer,
how art thou fallen !"
Pronitt...-66 Of Treachery the French know nothing. It be-
longs only to the weak."
The advocates of BoNavaltvz (blush not, gentle
Reader I Some writers in London have denied the
murder of Captain WRIGHT, and the execution of the
bookseller PALM !) acknowledge his TREACHERY in
his treatment of the Spaniards. We might indeed
ask him, to what but the blackest treachery he can at-
tribute the death of Pius 11. of TOUSSAINT and PICHE-
Gnu, of VILLENEUVE, and of a long list that would
tire our Compositors ? But his conduct to the Royal
Family of Spain is unparalleled in the blackest re-
cord of savage barbarity. And yet he adds : 66 the
dishonour of the Marquis de Romano is the best en-
comium on French integrity ! !"
Moniteur-4t Would to GOD that 100,000 English would pre-
sent themselves before us in the open field."
One hundred thousand British troops, led on by
proper officers, who would give a due direction to the
bravery of our troops, would in a short time make
NAPOLEON'S laurels wither on his brow. Recollec•-
ing the prowess of our soldiers at Catteau, in Egypt,
at Maida, at Vimiera, he Would nianceuvre his army
into strong cantonments, and endeavour to defeat, by
negociation, t advantages which our arms had gain,
ed in the field.he He would place himself under the
tuition of JUNOT. •
Moniteur —" Russia is the Ally of France."
Erratum : for Russia read4lexastirr. Russia detests
the French Emperor, and the French Ambassador of
murderous fame, CAutiNcouirr. Pass another winter,
and Russia will, unless ALEXANDER makes a timely
retreat from Nisa, imitate the example of Spain. For
this desirable event the country is ripening.
Moniteur.—" What mischief have the Turks done you, that
you should declare war against them ?"
Incalculable mischief to Europe, to human society,
and to their own interest. They are become your
tools ; we must, therefore, blunt their edge. You
know, besides, that in this action the Turks were the
aggressors.
Pray, Signor, what did your soldiers understand by
the expression in your address to them, that 66 you have
an injurytoavengenear thePillarsof Hercules ?"—Had
you spoken to your sailors, who are not so well versed
in classical phraseology as your et/suasion has made you,
they would ask you whether you did not allude to the
capture of your fleet by the Spaniards in Cadiz ?
