From :he Baltimore Federal Gazette,

LITERARY IMposITIoN-It is customary for ed.
itors to announce to the public any new literary
work which is either known or expected to possess
merit One object of these literary notices is by ex.
citing the public curiosity, to induce speedy sale
of the work, and thereby remunerate the publisher
for the expenses he has incurred including, neces.
sary, the compensation, if any, to be paid to the
author. All this is very proper, when The book 10
be furnished is offered to the public at reasonable
price, but when new book under the sanction of q
copy right is offered for sale at more than double
the price which would afford ample compensation to
the publisher, it is the duty Of every editor 10 give
salutary caution to his readers, to prevent, if pos
sibie, the imposition thus attempted.
The price asked for the new work of w. Irving a
collection OF little tales entitled Bracebrdge Hall, is
FIVE DOLLARS. This work in quantity certainly
and we may reasonably suppose in quality, does not
exceed The Spy, The Pirate and ought, in reason
to have been furnished to the American public at
the same price--rwo DOLLARS.

FROM THE LONDON TRUE BRIToN.

Blythe following extract of message from Presi-
dent Monroe to congress, dated the 9Th ultimo, it
will be seen that the republic of North America has
been the first to make formal acknowledgment of
the independence of Colombia. There is policy, as
well as justice and good sense, in this STEP It may
serve to warn the powers on this side the Atlantic,
that there will be found among the republican ma
ton OF the west alliance as durable, and as well
deserving of the name Of holy" as that lately for
med among the emperors of the east and it will let
Spain see that she gain nothing by exercising
towards those free governments, which have arisen
out Of her late colonies, the same hardness which
she eyinced in recognising the independence of the
United States. Tho republic of Colombia is estsb-
llshed beyond the power of question; and therefore
the sooner that all receive and cherish it branch
OF the family of free states, the bettet. Why does
Britain delay!

STORMS IN THE NORTH SEAS.

Hamburger, March 81.
The violent and continued storms are melancholy
and singular in the natural history of the present
year. 1t Is very long since so many vessels have
been prey to The waves.
Stockholm, March 81.
A letter from the Bailiff of Malmoe to Count
Engestrom, Minister of State, gives account Of a
dreadful storm, which lasted several days, with tor
rents Of hail and rain, and at length exceeded in
violence any thing that the oldest inhabitants re-
member; many buildings were levelled, trees torn
up, and the to extraordinary height
some persons were drowned at the same tme-A

again done considerable damage to the ships in the

melancholy, and we expect to hear many more mis-
fortunes.

Bergen, March /.
From the Baltimore FEDERAL Gazette.

We have conversed with gentleman of high
responsibility in this city, who has received certain
information from his correspondent in Spain, that
the King and Royal family had left Madrid on the
sixth of March for Aranjuez, where they intended
to remain for three months OF the authenticity OF
this information have no doubt and it therefore
affords additional cause for US not TO credit the re-
ported massacre of the Royal family of SPAIN
But, as the distance of Aranjuez from Madrid is
only twenty miles, the certainty that the above in
formation is true, is not incompatible with the pos
sibily of the truth of the Paris account as crcum-
stances might have induced the king to return to
Madrid sooner than was contemplated.
