For Publishing by Subscription,
THE SPEECHES
CHARLES PHILLIPS, Esq.
BaRRiaTER AT LAW.
Correctly printed from tie English ea,ticn,
edited by himself

yHHE publishers in offering the above WORK
u to an enlightened and discriminating
public, feel confident of receiving that en-.
enlargement which has hitherto been so Ii.
beraily bestowed upon all productions OF the.
rit. Among the many orators who have dis,
played their eloquence al the bar, both Il.
america ana IN Europe, none have been
more successful in touching the finest feel.
ings OF the heart, an, exciting the nobest
passions OF the soul, than Dir. Phillips. His
speeches are replete with metaphor and
possess, in great degree alltbat telicitous
copiousness OF which the English language
isso susceptible. his euIogium on the im.
mortal WASHINGTON. is Of itself master,
piece OF eloquence. In his character of 30.
adpdrte, he paintSIhe actions of that wo,-
deriul parsonage in language at once sub.
lime and imposing with all the chasteness
and precision of an historian, he recaplt,,.
lates his movements from the cradle 10 the
camp-trom the camp to the throne--and
lastly from the elevated station of an EN-.
peror to that Of an exile aud captiye-there.
by confirming truth, tina power unsupport
ed by virtue is liable to wither and decay.
Ills speeches on the various Grim. Con, ca.
ses, will De read with lively interest by all
classes OF readers; and the citizens Of this
republic, may, while perusing the immorali.
ties and vices of Europeans, rejoice that in
this country such crime is almost unknown.
His speeches on the Emancipation of the
Roman Catholics of Ireland need no com
ment-they speak for themselyes-and nm
fold to mankind the history of a class of men
who, although denied many political and ci.
vii privileges, have always been known to
be the friends Of their country in times of
danger and in battle. The American reader
must view with Indignation the various on
pressions under which great portion of that
gallant and patriotic people at present labor (:
and I" ages yet unborn" will lament the ey,
lstence OF a code which prevents man from
worshiping his Creator according to the die
tates OF his own conscience.
The publishers, therefore, feeling ANNA
ted by desire to present to the American
public, specimens of sublime and cbaste eIo-
quence, which has been SO often exerted in
the cause OF benevolence and the noblest
rights of human nature, with respectful df-
hdence invite the patronage of all classe,
who are interested in the display of national
social, and forensic oralory.

ment 81 the constitutionaiiats at Tsia,
(the head quarterS,) have in their
Gazette FORMALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE
INDEPENDENCE OF SOUTH AMERICA.
1t is true, that this act is liable to a
reconsideration when the national gov
eminent shall be established never
theless, the fact is sufficient to convince
US that further prosecution of the war
in South America is not the wish of the
people of Spain, and that the govern
ment will be influenced in future by the
wishes of the people, there can now be
no doubt. We are even ready to be-
lieve that, if the Constituencies are
disposed to make terms with Ferdinand
at all, one Of the stipulations will be the
acknowledgment of the independence Of
the South American colonies.
We can also state, positively, that
orders have been given at Madrid, to
dismiss all the transports SO long en-
ployed at Cadiz. Thus is all idea ofthe
expedition to South America officially

Captain Dickerson of the schooner
Midas, in 80 days from Gibraltar, ar
rived at this port last evening, and re-
ports that, although he was not on shore,
he was informed by gentleman who
passed alongside, of a report that the
New Constitutional Government OF
Spain had dispatched an ambassador to
the United States, on mission sup
posed to relate exclusively to the Flori-
das.
We have been permitted to extract
from the letter of a highly respectable
house, at Gibraltar, the following con-
firmation of the above report.

We have in our hands, (says the Ma
tional Gazette) files of Paris newspapers
as late as the 18th ofMarch. Below will
be found series of extracts from the
debates of the French House of Repre-
sentatives. The extracts are given as
curious indications of the mode of doing
business in that assembly, and of the
views and disposition of its principal
members. They are certainly ominous
of much disorder out of doors; indeed,
a great ferment seems to pervade the
whole French nation. Placards are fixed
at private dwellings, calling on the peo-
pie to rush to arms; rumors are spread
of the landing of Bonaparte; resolu-
ton, the subvcrsion of the throne, the
effusion of blood, are familiarly discourse
ed of, not orally alone, but newspapers
and in parliamentary debates. Another
fearful symptom is the bitter recrimma-
ton in which the leading politicians of
the legislature indulge, as to the parts
which they respectively acted, in the re-
evolutionary season, and under Bonaparte.
The French papers contain very little
respecting the Spanish revolution, in adj
dition to what has already been given.
They state that Ferdinand had first sound
ed the chiefs Of the insurgents, and una.
vailingly offered. to give new charter,
if they would consent to wave the con-
stitution of l8l2-that he requested
troops from foreign powers-that his
brother, the Infant Don Francis, was kept
twcnty-four hours under arrest, for having
told him in plain terms, that he was lost,
unless he accepted the constitution called
for by the people-that the yiceroys and
administrators of most of the provinces,
were utterly without the means of making
any resistance to therevolutionary move.
ment--that the insurrection was sys-
tematically planned SO as to show itself
at all points on the first of March; which
explains the inaction of the troops in the
isle Of Leon, for SO many weeks.

Friday, March II.
The motion yesterday submitted by Mr..

inlets and shoals of the coast of North
Carolina, was taken UP and agreed to.
One or two bills received second read.
ing, and were referred.
Elizabeth-Town gazette. [volume] (Elizabeth-Town, N.J.) 1818-1821, 1820-11-28

Resotved, That the committee Of Ways
and Means be directed to enquire into the
expectancy of reducing the compensation
allowed to members Of Congress 10 six
dollars per day, and proportional reduc-
tion for travelling to and from the seat Of
government {; and also of reducing the pay
OF all the officers Of government that has
been increased since the year 1909, to
what it was al or before that period.
MIR. l.. made few remarks on introduc-
ing This proposition, the import of which
was, that his opinion was, that Congress
ought to go back to the year 1909, and
restore the compensation of public officers,
&c. 10 the condition in which they then
stood. As the present proposition, how
eyer,was fer enquiry merely, GOT requiring
any expression Of the opinion Of the house,
he hoped no objection would be made to
it.
Mr.. Cobb, Of Georgia, said few words
expressive Of his opinion, that, if re-
duction Of expenditures, &c. was made,
it ought 10 be more general than was pro-
posed by this motion to be enquired into.
To such a general reduction he was IA
SeFabie, but was opposed 10 piece.meai
legislation on the subject, which must be
partial, and might be unjust 10 IFS opera
ton. This was the substance Of Mr.. C's
observation, though Dot perhaps bis
words. He wished the resolution to be so
modified as TO make it as comprehensive
as in bis opinion il ought to be.
Mr.. Smith, Of Nd. thought the object
OF this motion did not properly fall Within
the duties Of the committee Of ways and
means, and wished it referred to differ
ent committee.
Mr.. Linn did not wish to take the house
by surprise, and consented to his motions
lying on the table, that gentlemen might
have an opportunity to prepare amend
ments to it, If they thought proper.
So the resolution was ordered TO lie Oh
the table.
Mr.. Cooke, of Tennessee. submitted for
consideration the following resolution
Resolved, That the committee on the
Military Establishment, be instructed to
enquire into the expediency Of reducing
the Military Peace establishment of the
United States,
And the resolution was agreed to, with
