CHARACTER OF THE WORK.
From the Edinburgh Revieao
T, is about two years since we expressed
our anxiety for the appearance OF this werk !;
and we have now to congratulate our readers
and ourselves on its publication But "nat
is still more satisfactory, and what, alter so
many instances of disappointment we couia
scarcely venture to expect, almost all tnat
we anticipated from the adventurous spirit
and the known abilities of DR. CLARKE, mas
been fulfilled; and we have, at last, the S'eat
pleasure of seeing before US a book OF travels
by person, we will not say comoinA''s ali
the requisites of traveller, or answerisg'
in every particular, to what our fancy 'nisn'
nicture as most desirable in this character {;
but certainly uniting more OF the quaiiica-
tions essential to his difficult calling, thsn
.nv one whose labors have come under our
notice; and above all land it is here chleny
that we would fix our commentator pro.
ccedinq. in the compilation OF his journal
and the digestion of his narrative, upon tar
sounder views of the nature OF his duties,
than any of those whom we have hitherto
dealt with"
From the Quarterly Review.
aDn. CLARKE has certainly brought To-
pether, in the volume before us, much va
iuable information respecting countries very
imperfeotIy known; his materials are well
and clearly arranged; his narrative Is always
amusing his style concise & spirited; and
on some occasions, particularly happy. ne
has, also, been permitted to enrich his work
with many curious and interesting extracts
from the MS. journal of the Rev. Reginald
Heber, which are digested Into the form OF
notes, and, while they confirm the authors
testimony, materially add to the reader IS IN
struction. 1t may, therefore, be presumed
that such a work will be translated into many
Other languages
This interesting work is printed on hne
woven paper with a handsome type, making
a large octave volume of $50 pages. Price

ed with a fine Likeness of that truly great
Man, and ornamented with a handsome Wig

This admirable compendium of consum-
mate political wisdom, from their best trlend'
conveyed in a style truly parental, should
render it an i~nestimaole treasure to every true
American as it must, it acted upon, have
been an infallible guide to national honor and
prosperity.
The sons of Greece were animated to he
roic actions by the impassioned addresses OF
their orators and poets. The sons Of Colum-
bia are NOR. powerfully excited by the slo-
rious example, as we'll as by a voice from
the tomb of the immortal Washington, to
the exercise of the duties of the christian and
the citizen.
It is much to be lamentcd that this pre-
cious relique has not become the director
aud guide of every American citizen, and
that it has become so scarce. To supply this
defect, and to introduce 1t into general no
tice at this important crisis, the present edl-
ton is now offered to the public. The adj
mirers of the departed hero and patriot, have
now an opportunity of procuring copies and
of making presents TO their friends, And 1t
is presumed that parents and teaehers can
not make a more valuable present to their
children and pupils, than this last bequest OF
their common political parent.

ONS July OUs
Capt. Woodbury., who arrived yesterday
from Chr stiansand (Which belongs to the
Danes) informs, that American vessels
continue to be taken on the most frivolous
pretexts, and to be exposed to long de-
tentions and tedious processes, if ultimate
ly cleared-which would pDbably have
been the fate of the Favorite, if she had
met with priyatcer, even though bound
direct from the U. S. to Norway.-Two
French privateers were cruising eff Nor
way-and about 90 in the Baltic. There
was much talk of war between Russia
and France. Mr.. Linzee, snpercargo of
the barque Zeno, arrived at Christiansand
from Gottenburg, which he left June 4.
Some articles in American vessels were
allowed to be landed in Sweden-others
prohibited, in consequence of which seve-
raj American vessels would leave Gotten
burg with their outward cargoes. A
Philadelphia brig with a cargo of tea, was
waiting permission to sell. American &
colonial produce were;dull. The accounts
from Russia were favorable to American
commerce, but our produce was low, and
Russia goods high.
Captain Woodbury. saw. a list of10 or
IL American vessels at Copenhagen, re-
ceived the same day he sailed by the Con-
sui. SeteraI Of them were late arrivals
from the United States; and four which
had been seized had been released through
theinterference of Mr.. Erving. The Isis,
Woodbury., it was said, had arrived at
Copenhagen from Boston.
Our Consul at Christiansand, Mr.. Isaac.
sen, had advanced very large sums Of mo-
ney from his private property for the re-
lief and assistance of Americans, without
advice from Government, which he was
ANXIOUS to receive. He was extremely
popular among our countrymen there who
had presented hin, with q very valuable
silver urn.
