. IT would be superAuous to dilate in
praise of that constellation Of eminent au.
thors, who have been distinguished, in
these volumes, by the peculiar title of
British Classics. The namesof ADD1-
SON, STEEL, Popr, JoHNsox, HAWKES.
WORTH, and GoLDsMIrH, have been too
long known, and too highly esteemed, to
stand in need Of an Eulogium at the pre-
sent day. The excellent Essays written,
by them, and others their .contempora-
ries, which are now proposed for publ.
cation, have been justly admired zas
faithful picture of the n1anners of the
Eighteenth Century, and recommended
as containing, not only rich Magazine
of moral, and critical knowledge, as well
as chaste amusement, BIT as the fairest
models of English comp osition-seldom
equalled, and never surpassed, by the
writer's of this or .any other age. .s,,>e
All, therefore. that seems necessary
for the Subscribers, Is, to acquaint their
friends and the public in general, that
they intend to publish an American Edi-
ton of tJsis truly classical collection, in
style that will not dishonor the works
themselves, or be deemed unworthy Of
ths patronage Of their feilow.eitizens.

GALLATtNl& MATHEW LYoS.-Mat-
thew Lyon, the famous knight Of the
Wooden Sword, and of splitting memory,
is agent to the United States for furnish.
ing supplies to the army. A bill drawn
BY him on the Treasury of the u. States
was lately forwarded TO this place tobe
presented for acceptance, or payment, If
il could be had. The bill was drawn in
February last, and themoney wasnotd due
from the United States until October
next. The bill was presented, and paid
Immediately, though the credit Of the
Uuited States or of the drawer would not
have been injured by delay, because It
was mentioned by Matthew Lyon when
he sold the bill, that the money was NOT
due from the United States till 0ctober.
We have been thus particular In this
transaction, not from any great impor-
lance attached to il, but to contrast il
with the fate Of another bill drawn under
very different circumstances. s. -
Mr.. Steele, the late secretary Of the
Mississippi territory, drew on the trea-
sary efthe United Statesfo money which
was due to him, under an act ofeonsress,
for services performed in collecting the
direct tax. When the bill was presented
to Mr.. Gallatin, he acknowledged the
money to be due, but would net pay the
bill until all the returns under the direct
tax had come in, and the accounts settled.
This was in November, 1901. In this
situation the bin laid unpaid, until the
accounts were settled, which was near
fourteen months after il was FIRST present.
ed, when the holder called again on Mr..
Gallatin for payment To his unspeak.
able astonishment, the bill could not be
paid, because-hear the Genevan--

motives as one OF that celebrated coaaciI o.

more resembled the Revolutionary Tribu-

Where, it may be asked, was his won

when he caused tito be proclaimed tocan-

yated patriotism was it that Induced him
TO employ two abandoned hypocrites, to
pursue candidates through the town. to as
