were added 10 the Chamber of Peers. TO.

Amongst the late batch of Peers, re-
Gently made in France, we find no hess

The creation of Peers is reserved 10
the King OF France, by whaf is called the

TO the Public.

A n unusual scnsihility has been excited
"a III the minds OF our countrymen by the
copper plate engraving Of the Declaration
of Independence recently published, ac-
companied by fac SMILES of the signatures
OF those illustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced TO the world. We feel, while
we dwell on those Signatures, as il we were
ushered into the immediate presence OF
characters so exalted, and we seem for a
time to participate in all the emotion which
they felt OIL the approach ofse awful a cri-
ss--lIostile armies, desoiate fields, towns
and cities in agra'inn--carnage and
death in lis mos, frightiul forms appeared in
prophetic vision on the one hand, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignnminy
and slavery were presented for their ac-
ceptance on the other; they deliberated,
they paused, they trembled. and at last So
lemnly appealing TO the God of battles,
they resolved that the United States were
and ought to be free, sovereign and indie
pendent. These illustrioas patriots, with
five solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould-thcy survive only
in their couptry's glory and in the reco'lec-
ton OF grateful people. But it would be
coI,soling to The present generation, sepa-
rated as they now are from ,hoee patriots,
by tire Intervention Of the tomb, to become
more intimately acquainted with their re.
evolutionary benefactors. We love TO dwell
ON the features Of such men, snatched by
the pencil from the oblivion of the grave,
and emulate the prominent teais of their
biography. Impressed with these ideas, the
subscriber proposes, if suitable encourage
ment is given. TO publish the lives OF those
patriots in numbers, until Tie whole is COM
ple.ed. THE work will he executed in
style not inferior TO any European pfoduc-

knowIedged merit The biography will
be written by Paal Alien, esq. whose init
macy with the several signers, whose fam-
liarity with the privations and Lardships
they had 10 undergo. aud whose well known
talents will be sufficient to ensure the pa
typnage OF an enlightened people. In the
execution OF this work, all that the pub
Usher dares 10 promise is, that he will en-
deavor to deserve the confidence OF ms
