CRITIQUES ON TOE ABOVE WORK.
01 A COLLECTION LICE THESE Lives, WAS A DEEM/I.:LATENT in our
National Litarature.----We ootall' follow these Memoirs one by
one, and dwell upon the names and works of some of them until
we had perhaps exhausted the reader's patience and our own
powers.---We are persuaded that the public will appreciate
this eleaant little work at its due rate; for our own parts, we
have been much delighted with the Mtertainment it has afforded
us."—Nesu Monthly Magazine.
" The Lavas of EMINENT Scovssir3t, by the Society of Ancient
Scots, is a little work which might subdue even the national anti-
pathies of Dr. Johnson. It consists of short notices of the bio-
graphy and works of the most distinguished men of letters of
that nation, written in a very pleasing style; and its moderate
price and convenient size, bid fair to render it a familiar pocket
companion. Amongst the articles of most interest In this part
of the work (Part 1) which is devoted to the Poets are the Lives
of James the First (of Scotland), Ramsay, ikattie, and Burns.
To the general English reader, such names as Barbour and Wyn-
tom are comparatively unknown ; but he cannot fail to be pleased
with the manner in which they are here introduced tio his fa-
vourabi notice."—Monthly Meg.
" Although the first part contains biographies only of persona
who are so well known that it might be supposed everything
te.spectii&g them had ai:eady been published, yet we here meet
with minty new facts, sane new productions of the authors and
an original estimate of the talents and character of each indivi-
dual. We are not led into the track of former biographers, but
each is an original memoir, as much so in style and diction as if
no other had existed."—Litreary Citron.
" it may be fairly stated, that the first part is a very agree-
able sample. We shall not go further into the subject than to
signify our general approbation of its plan and execution."

FROM MEXICO.
The following intelligence is copied from Ha-
vaanah Paps to the 17th ult. received at St. Au-
gustine by Ve schooner Stamper, Lines :
" VISA CRUX, AUGUST 27. '
" Letters from Alvarez, the Secretary of State of
General O'Donoju, from Don Lorenzo Murphy, and
from the Treasurer of Valladolid, Don Miguel Bo-
lide), dated at Cordova, the 24th inst. are received. •
04 It appears by them, that upon the 22d, General
O'Donoju entered into Cordova, and on the 23d, at
night, General Iturbide, between two rows of wax
torches, the inhabitants forming a street; and several
illuminated triumphal arches, firing of cannon, music,
and everything that could manifest rejoicing.—He
proceeded to the church, and thence to his house,
where General O'Donoju was waiting for him, and
where they held a cow teous and satisfactory irate: view.
" General O'Donoju had returned but a short time
to his house, when hut bide went to call on him With
all his suite, which was btilliant and numerous.
" On the 24th, General Inn bide repeated his visit,
and they entered upon thy conference, which was no
sooner over than Bttllido entered to see General
O'Donoju, who said to him, full of delight—' Every
thing is concluded, and I am transported with a
feeling of joy which the testimony of the most glo-
rious actions alone can produce. I have proposed
nothing which has not been acceded to, and nothing
has beer. requested of me which is not founded in
reason. Our treaties will be published to-morrow,
and the whole kingdom will witness the union of the
reciprocal interests of twn great nations.
" General Iturbide dined at the house of General
O'Donoju, who gave the first toast to the former
Chief, and he returned the second to him, and the
third was drank to the whole company by them both.
The dinner lasted till six in the evening.
" Murphy writes word, that on the same evening
of the 24th, or at day-break on the 25th, Iturbide
set off for Puebla, and that General O'Donoju will
depart immediately.
44 The Itiquelmc is ready, and only waiting for the
two Commissioners who are to carry to Spain the
Treaties of Cordova: they are expected every moment.
" Don Juan O'Donoju offers to employ his au-
thority that the troops of the garrison of Mexico
shall take their departure under an honourable capi-
tulation, in concurrence with the wishes of the first
Chief, to avoid the spilling of blood and making
use of force."

" MANIFESTO
" ADDRESSED BY HIS EXCELVENCY THE CAPTAIN-
GENERAL TO THE INHABITANTS' THROUGH TIIE
MEDIUM OF TIIE GOVERNOR OF THIS PRoVINCE.

" On the evening of this day I began my march
towards the city of Cordova, st ith a view of having
therein an interview with Signor Augustin Iturbide,
principal Chief of the Imperial army, upon the three
guarantees. Let us treat therein of the reciprocal
interests of both Spins. My attachment to the
Americans, the love of my country, and the desire
which animates me for the public good, and the rec-
titude of my intentions, 1 fl itter myself, are already
well known ; and that the People will rest persuaded,
on the preceding suppositions, that my voyage is in-
dispensable, as the only means of ensuring the public
tranquillity and cementing the felicity of these realms.
Before I go, I consider it a debt that is now de-
manded by the affections I owe to the well-deserving
citizens of this place, to take leave of them, for which
purpose I address myself to your Excellency, as-
suring them, that for my own part it shall always
appear that in no negotiation into which I may enter
can the legitimate interests of Spain be compromised
—that is to say, such as can be claimed without in-
terfering with those which Nature has pointed out
to every man, and granting the rights of man to
united societies; that a secure guarantee of the
persons and fortunes of the Europeans established
in New Spain is one of the most- sacred objects
which I have intended to sustain, which, according
to the correspondence with the said Chief, he ap-
pears disposed to coincide with my opinion, as far as
they are natural and just ; that I want guaranteed by
American honour, that there is nothing to fear for
their persons or my own, and as little for their inte-
rests ; or that there should be done the slightest act
against my character and reputation : that I warn
them as one in authority, and entreat them as a
friend, to dismiss ill-grounded fear, and reports scat-
tered by restless spirits and movers of evil; that they
make every effort to preserve the public tranquillity,
and respect the Authorities ; that they repose confi-
dence in their Chiefs—and if any of them should
doubt, from some irremediable fatality, I take upon
myself to convince them, that I have had much ex-
perience, and do not yield to them in sincere good
wishes, under which idea the alterations which have
not been made need not be discussed, because they
are not in question. It is not given to every one to
have an intimate knowledge of public affairs. If it
were possible that an evening party could investigate
matters like a council, the measures of Government 11
would seldom be found to met it distrust or criticism.
" To you, Signor Governor, I now particularly
concede to make known to the Pablic the contents of
this letter, contributing on your part that what is
therein expressed may have a proper effect. The
want of time does not allow me to address myself I
directly to the inhabitants, not officiate with the Cor-
porate Bodies or Authorities. Be pleased, Sir, to
communicate this to such as may be proper, assuring
them all of my gratitude for the kind reception 1
have met with among them, and that I trust I shall

NEW YORK, OCTOBER no.
A letter of the sth instant, received at Baltimore
from St. Bartholomew's, in noticing the capture of
the piratical vessel formerly the United States brig
Prometheus, lately taken at the Five Islands, says—
" From confessions of the crew, ai;'l papers found
.imong the effects of one of the officers who died
here a few days ago, this vessel has committed de-
predations to a considerable extent on various nations,
but especially on the Americans, in the I;st of which
are two vessels belonging to New Yof k; t.:e cargo
of one captured and carried to Crah Hand, and three
sloop loads of her cargo taken out aad sent to St.
Thomas's. What became of the remainder and the
vessel afterwards is not known. The other, they say,
they only robbed ; the Captain, however, was kept
three days a prisoner in theforepeak of the pirate,
and it is not known what became of him. Some of
this plunder was found on board when taken posses-
sion of. This piratical vessel was as heretofore stated,
a Gliineaman, formerly out of the Havannah, cap-
tured some five or six months since by the privateer
brig Bolivar, Capt. Wilson, and brought into Five
Islands, where the slaves were disposed of. She then
came into this harbour and fitted out, from whence
she sailed, and committed all the atrocWies stated."
The Mayor of Alexandria, by the advice and con-
sent of the Board of Physicians, has given notice
that the town is restored to good health.
Havannah Papers state that the, atmosphere was
pure and the weather become cool. The cases of
fever had consequently diminished; the number of
cases was 32.
The Fredericka: Examiner of the 24th inst. says,
" It is supposed, by a Gentleman having good op-
portunities to form a correct judgment, that at least
4,000 persons are at present sick in Frederickton
County. We have ascertained that Dr. M. Tyler has
had upwards of SOO patients at one time within these
few weeks past."
FROM TILE PHILADELPHIA DENI^CRATIC PRESS.

A Gentle Man from Vol ida gives us the following
as a principal cause of the arrests and seizares of
papers in that territory. lie says the Seaniards had
no office of record for title-deeds; hut -when A sold
land to LI, he transferred the original deeds, which
were deposited vs ith the Governor. In this way Go-
vernors Callava and Coppinger had possession of
nearly all the title-deeds of the Province. After the
surrender of the Floridas to the United Sta:cs, many
of those deeds were sold for various sums of money,
without the consent or knowledge of the owner of
the property ; dims the title to every tract of land in
the country was jeopardized. On demand, the above
Officers refused to deliver up the deeds, and the sales
of them became more rapid than ever. Under such
circumstances, Governors Jackson and Worthington
thought it their duty to seize, and they did seize and
take possession of the official papers which were thus
fraudulently in the mat ket. If they had done other-
wise, and winked at the fraud, they ought to be dis-
gracefully dismissed the service.

Mr. COWELL, from Drury-Lane Theatre, has made
a successful debut on the New York Stage, in the cha-

York Paper, " the best Ilurletta singer we ever had."
The city of Metz, it appears, has been some time
afflicted by one of the plagues of Egypt—viz. frogs.
Several streets were found covered with these animals,
and no one could imagine from whence they came,
until a Marchande de Grenouilles (frog-merchant) ex-
plained the mystery by applying to the Tribunals and
claiming his property. Ile had shut up 6000 frogs in
the troughs and buckets of the &I-market, and seve-
ral children, who discovered his depot, put eve: y one
at liberty. The frogs, delighted with freedom, spread
1 themselves in every direction. They entered the
houses, and the inhabitaws could not relieve them-
-1 selves from their visitors without considerable trouble
I and difficulty.

The Dublin Papers of Wednesday last, which we
received this morning, though nnt abounding in de-
tails of such dark atrocity as they have for some days
teemed with, afford too positive evidence that the
career of outrage has not yet received any effectual
check. In no one instance, however, do these out-
rages appear to have arisen from either political or
religious motives.
The murder of Major Corals was by a band of
housebreakers, whose object was not to obtain arms,
but money; but, finding themselves resisted, they
effected their purpose by destroying where they would
only have plundered. The murder of the Sumas was
equally unconnected with politics or religion; it was
an atrocious revenge of a deadly feud, undertaken by
one who had been oppressed, and carried to an extent
which probably was net, in the first instance, con-
templated.
In the attack on Mr. CONDOS, which we have this
day recorded, and where the notorious " Captain
Rock" was concerned, tithes and rent were the alleged
cause of complaint ; but it would appear that robbery
was the chief object: and that accomplished, the
marauders did no further mischief. There ap-
pears to be still some indecision as to the means to
be adopted for suppressing these disturbances.—
Some of the Irish Journalists call loudly for mar-
tial law, while others think that it would be more
likely to aggravate than allay the wide spreading
discontent. The subject is one of great delicacy, but
whatever temporary expedients may now be resorted
to, we trust that the state of Ireland, and particu-
larly of the peasantry, will become the subject of
minute and ample investigation on the immediate
meeting of Parliament.
It is stated, in private communications from Dub-
lin, that six or seven persons, to whom suspicion very
strongly attache,, have been apprehended, charged
as perpetrators of the appalling scene in the county
of Tipperary.
The Proclamation of the Irish Government, offer-
ing a reward of I.:2000 for the discovery of the mur-
derers of the SHEAS, apportions it in the following
manner :—To any person or persons who shall, within
the space of six months, discover the persons con-
cerned in the said outrage, the sum of P.. 300 for each
and every of the first five, and £lOO for each and
every of the next five persons concerned in the said
outrage, as perpetrators or accomplices, who shall be
apprehendel and prosecuted to conviction as afore-
said. And his MAJESTY'S free pardon to any of the
accomplices who shall give information for the dis-
covery of the others within two months.

Private letters from Berlin affirm that the Emperor
of Itussres has not abandoned his project against
Turkey, although it is probable he may delay for
some time carrying it into execution, as the Turks are
now weakening themselves in their war with the
Greeks. It is further stated, that it was the wish of
some of the Allied Powers to have had another Con-
gress., that the King of Erica-axes visit to Hanover
was 'connected with this project, but the Emperor
ALLIANDER and the King of PRUSSIA were averse
to the measure.

Philadelphia Papers, to the Ist November, arrived
this morning, from which we give the following in-
teresting article:

SLAVE TRADE.
The following is an abstract of a letter from on
board his Majesty's ship TARTAR, Sir GEORGE

COWER:
At Bonny two slave vessels were taken by the
boats of the TARTAR and THISTLE, by the good
management of Lieutenant HAGAN, Commander of
the latter vessel. This young man put the prime of
all his brig's company into a canoe which had come
off, went alongside the slaver, a Spanish schooner,
having on board a gang of the most desperate vil-
lains; as it was dark, the surprise was complete; he
fully succeeded in his canoe, captured .the schooner,
having 450 slaves, and a most desperate crew of 50
men. The schooner was prepared to resist, having.
her cannon all primed, and 50 muskets on deck loaded.
I. As the black people in the canoe were too much
under the fear of death to betray, when hailed by the
Spanish schooner, they answered all was well. In
the next moment HAGAN, with his 35 men, were
on the deck, when the Master and others seized the
small arms, and kept up a rapid fire, by which three
British seamen were wounded, and, in the alarm,
many female slaves, not in irons, leaped overboard,
arid were carried away by the sharks.
" Whether the crew of this schooner, many of
whom, by their language, must be either English or
Americans, are apprehensive of some evil for their
misdeeds, I know not, but they seem very contrite.
and full of sorrow. Lieutenant Marisa proceeded''
up the river in quest of the Portuguese, of which he
got information, and after receiving the fire of her
guns, boarded and carried her. This vessel, though
only commenced her slaving a week, had one hun-
dred on board.
" One of the slave-vessels captured was complete
in human misery ; the dying and the dead were min-
gled together. Nothing can be more horrible than
the treatment and condition of the slaves on their
passage from Africa. Fever and dysentery let loote,
and the batches scarcely open."
