rENHE publishers in Offering the above work
Il to an enlightened and discriminating
public, feel confident of receiving that en-
enlargement which has hitherto been so Ii
beralIy bestowed upon all productions OF me.
rlt. Among the many orators who have dis.
played their eloquence at the bar, 10th in
America and in Europe, none have been
more successful in touching the finest feel
lngs OF the heart, ane exciting the nobiest
passions OF the soul, than Mr. Phillips. His
speeches are replere with metaphor. and
possess, in great degree all that felicitous
copiousness OF which the English language
\ is SO susceptible. His eulogium on the I'M
mortal WASHINGTON. is OF itself master.
piece of eloquence. In his charactero OF Be-
aaparte, he paintsthe actions of that won
dertul parsonage in language at once sub.
lime and imposing WITH all the chasteness
and precision of an historian, he recapitu.
lates his movements from the cradle to the
camp-from the camp to the throne-and
lastly from the elevated station of an en-
peror toahat of an exile and cap,iye-there-
by confirming truth, that power unsuppurt~
ed by virtue is liable to wither and decay
His speeches onthe various Grim. Con. ca
seS, will be read with lively interest by all
classes OF readers /; and the citizens OF this
republic, may, while perusing the immoraIi-
ties and vices of Europeans, rejoice that in
this country such a crime is almost unknown.
His speeches on the Emancipation of the
Roman Catholics of Ireland, need no COM
ment-they speak for themsekes-and un-
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 Z
danger and in The American reader
must view with Indignation the various OBJ
pressions under which great portion of that
gallant and patriotic people at present labor
and . ages yet unborn" will lament the ex-
istence Of acode which prevents man from
worsbiping his Creator according to the die
tates OF his own conscience.
The publishers, therefore, feeling ANNA
ted by desire to present 10 the American
public, specimens of sublime and chaste elo-
quence, which has been SO often exerted in
the cause OF benevolence and the nobIest
rights Of human nature, with respectful diff
6lence invite the patronage of all classes
who are interested in the display OF national
social, and forensic oratory.

One letter says Some upland cotton Of

few days, at If. 90c and some Louisiana at
2f. i93c. Very little rice in market, it brings
with difficulty 28f. per quntal-but this is
not surprising, when we consider the abun-

quoted in bond as follows from 80 II0f.
