MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY VOYAGES AND

ALL COUNTRIES.
• • This day was published, .
A saw Volume, being the SIXTH; price 15s. in boards, illustrated
with numerous Plates, .
•
MODERN, RECENT, and cONT E MPO R. A RY.
VOYAGES and 'TRAVELS, consisting of Translations of
Works cot before translated, of original Works printed from tho
Authors' MSS. and of Analyses of new Voyages and Travels which
have appeared in England.
THIS SIXTH VOLUME CONTAINS
1. Do Lac's Travels in the two Louissnas and other. adjoining
PrO4inies, lam 1802, and isos.
,S 4 axy sejsxw's Voyage in the Frozen' Ocean N.E. of Siberia,
..rite. in 1796..
9. Feenqszea's Travels from Petersburgh to Moscow, Warsaw,
Ike. See. through Germany, in 1805.
4. TiavaLs fn the interior of North America, made in explo-
ring the • course and sources of the _Missouri, Red River, and
Washita. by Captains Lewis and Clarke, in 1805.
5. A VOYAGE to the Western Coast of Africa, by Surgeon
Spilsburl, in the •Fiwoulate, in -1805:
6. Analysis of WA RIN o's TOUR to ShCNTSZ in 1802.
7. Analysis of the Marquis de SALVO'S flight from Venice to
Riga, in 1806.
Every former Volume is equally interesting and various in its
contents, and the series of six volumes contains nearly 40 different
Voyages and Travels, most of them performed within the last two
or three years, and not to be met with any where else in the Eng-
lish language.
As it is the sole object of books of Voyages and Travels to de-
scribe the state of the countries visited, it is almost too obvious to
be formally maintained, that recent and contemporary works of
this description are the only Voyages and Travels worthy of pe-
ru ;al ; old and obsolete works serving only as a romanceair narra-
tive of adventures, and being totally useless as to the essential
objects of all such publications.
The present series exhibiting the actual condition of nearly all
the countries in the world, furnished by those who have recently
visited them, claims therefore, a preference over all collections
consisting of obsolete works,which describe nothing but the ancient
and former state of countries.
-Minted for RICHARD PHILLIPS, No. 6, Bridge-street, Black-
friars ; and to be had of all Booksellers.
.N. B. This work is also published in half-crown monthly num-
bers, six of them forming a Volume, and the seventh Volume is
now in course of publication, containing Sea oP4 E's late Travels „in
Prussia, Poland, and Russia ; MILLIN's Tour in the South of
France ; and HERIOT'S Travels in Canada.

• This work is already well known to the Public, as a Complete
and Modern Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, answering every
Purpose of Reference on all Subjects, and serving as a Companion
to Dr. Johnson's Dictionary of the English Languaga, with which
it eractly corresponds in size.
It is now presented to the Public in a form adapted to the
means of the numerous persons to whom it may not have been
agreeable to purchase it in Ten Shilling Monthly Parts, or com-
plete in Two Volumes quarta. It may, however, be had, if de-
sired, of all Booksellers in the latter fermi.
After the Universal Reception and Favourable Afprobation
with which this Work has been honoured, it would be superfluous
to comment on its particular merits, and on its capacity to serve
all the purposes of a Book of Reference of the most voluminous
Cyclopedias.
The size is obviously the best adapted to the general purposes
of a Dictionary, a species of Work which ought always to be
comprised within the smallest possible number of Volumes,
that Dictionary being plainly an object cl Preference f;,r the
avowed purpose of aU such works, which can be the matt easily
consulted.

It may therefore be fairly presumed that no person conversant
in literary pursuits, or in the practice of consulting Books, will
knowingly give preference to a Dictionary of uncertain merit in
numerous small Volumes, when one of acknowledged and. esta-
blished credit, and equally ample in its Contents, can be procured
at less eapence in Two handsome quartos, a site rendered legiti-
mate for such Works by successive approved Editions of Dr. John-
sin's Dictionary.

AMERICA. •
Advices from NeW-York, dated the 12th ult. were,
yesterday received by a most respectable house in the
city, which states, that at that time an embargo was
expected to be immediately laid on all shipping, and
that a suspension of intercourse with Great Britain
was considered as unavoidable.
The fillowing Extract of a Letter from Philadel-
phia, from a most respectable Merchant, long retired
from business, to an intimate friend in this country,
will, we are confident, prove acceptable to many of
our Readers:
u Since the recent peace made by Russia and Prus-
sia with France, to which may be added, the prospect
of Russia and Sweden with Denmark being all en-
gaged in hostilities with Great Britain, I feel myself
.incompetent to form an idea of the course of action
that Great Britain will pursue. Coalitions, I con-
ceive, are now at an end. Great Britain has not a
friend left on the Continent that can be of any efficient
service to her, or ott whom she can depend fur aid
and friendship. Portugal exists only on sufferance,
and will be shortly blotted cut from the map of Eu-
rope. Thus situated, what can England do ?is the
question. She cannot—She ought not to make a
peace with France-..-if she suffers hetselfto be caught
in this snare, her fate is sealed—she would, shortly
cease to exist as a nation. I have no doubt but temp-
ting offers will be made to her by France, bearing
the appearance both of honour and advantage ; hut
let her beware of being seduced by them, they would
lead her to inevitable ruin. Let her remem.:,er, that
she commands on an element, where the united world
cannot meet her, nor controul or check her. power ;
let her exercise it with firmness and resolution, united
with . sound policy, dignity, and prudence, and it
may work a revolution in the world as favourable fur
her interest, and perhaps more so than all the mighty
armies of France have done for the latter. Let her
risk every thing upon it, to the very existence of the
nation. If this course is not pursued, I consider all as
gone, A three years peace would destroy her for
ever ! Her present situation is unprecedented in the
annals of her history ; it is perilous, it, is awful.
—Let her not despair, but rather summon fresh con-
rage and determination to brave every er, every
foe. She must calculate on a seVeref t, and a
long season of trial : nothing short &VW can pre-
serve her national honour and iiidepentiance. The
means which she possesses, under the direction of
wise councils, union, bravery, • and national virtue,
may preserve her from sharing in the prevailing. de_
struction of surrounding nations ; but, if she listens
to the syren voice of peace3ri the prostrate .state of
Europe, she will only have rihprt temporary repose
under the opiate, and awake from the lethargy under
expiring convulsions. With the most ardent wishes
for her safety and welfare, I will conclude With a
lively hope that GOD will bless her councils with sound,
wisdom, and the people with virtue and firmness to
support them !"

Paris Papers, of a recent date, have been received
in town : they do not contain much inforrAation ; but
what they do contain is of the utmost importance, as
it spews the tactile disposition of BoNapanrr. towards
this Country. pen a paragraph in one of the Papers,
relative to the rise of he Funds, in consequence of, the
arrival of a Fl* of Truce, it observes,
" No Flag a Truce has been sent from France. to.
England. Vessels have been placed at the disposition
of M. de Micrraixicts. the Austrian Ambassador, to
communicate with England. Of what use would flags
of truce be? Do we not know that the present Mini-
stry have proclaimed the principle of perpetual war !
:The refusal of the mediation of Russia, the massacre
of Copenhagen, the recent infamous. Decree by
which: England assimilates herself to the Dey of
Algiers, do they not sufficiently make known that no
peace is possible, while this Club of furious Oli-
garchs shall 'bp at the head of the English AdmiH
nistration ?"

There are three or four other articles of the same
tenor—but we have neittier T.:une nor room to insert
