GREGORY, D.D. The following are the immediate advantages which are _promised to the purchasers of this work. I. It exhibits a compendium of all human knowledge, more luminous because cleared of all extraneous matter, in which that has been preferred which is practical, to that which is specula, tive ; and it is occupied chLfly by the most useful bunches. 11. It is of a convenient and comparatively portable size, calculated to lie on the table of every studious person, as a book it constant reference. The retrenchment of many superfluous and useless articles, having caused a considerable reduction in size, without impairing the intrinsic value and general utility of the work. _ _  111. It is printed so a' to correspond with the quarto editions of Johnson's Dictionary; and the possessors of both works thus have, In a rnoier.ae compass, and at a moderate expence, all the compendious literary aid which can be desired in the form of 'Dictionary . IV. The work is neatly printed in a new and elegant type, on supi-rfine yellow wove paper. The copper-plates have been engraved chiefly from original drawi.lgs, by the first artists, and are equal to any plates ever given t. the public in a week of this aleture. And this Dictionary having been completed since every other, it demands a preference, as containing all the latest improvement/ and discoveries in every brao,i of knowledge.

But we have an external proof of some importance. Under this head the Mc/ulcer gives the news from London papers, ' sometimes faithfully, sometimes with additions and corrections, but it always mentions the name of the paper. This is not done in the present case : the article is therefore a fabrication clear and palpable. The Notes which the. Moniteur founds on its extracts from the Time: deserve some notice : Aiwuteue.—" The English were beaten on the Els% and their Dead-quarters were removed backwards." Had BONAPARTE written this after the Conventi,m, he might indeed have had some reason to boast.— But he speaks of the battle of Vimeira ; and he received his intelligence either from the English papers, or from Portugal. If from the former, there was no difference in the national feeling of the triumph obtained by our arms. If from the latter, the exultation was still more vivid. In any case, he must have known that KELLERMAN had arrived in the English camp with offers of submission. The Monitcur formerly gave, indeed, a colouring to facts ; but it did not utter such deliberate falsehoods : 66 0, Lucifer, how art thou fallen !" Pronitt...-66 Of Treachery the French know nothing. It belongs only to the weak." The advocates of BoNavaltvz (blush not, gentle Reader I Some writers in London have denied the murder of Captain WRIGHT, and the execution of the bookseller PALM !) acknowledge his TREACHERY in his treatment of the Spaniards. We might indeed ask him, to what but the blackest treachery he can attribute the death of Pius 11. of TOUSSAINT and PICHEGnu, of VILLENEUVE, and of a long list that would tire our Compositors ? But his conduct to the Royal Family of Spain is unparalleled in the blackest record of savage barbarity. And yet he adds : 66 the dishonour of the Marquis de Romano is the best encomium on French integrity ! !" Moniteur-4t Would to GOD that 100,000 English would present themselves before us in the open field." One hundred thousand British troops, led on by proper officers, who would give a due direction to the bravery of our troops, would in a short time make NAPOLEON'S laurels wither on his brow. Recollec•ing the prowess of our soldiers at Catteau, in Egypt, at Maida, at Vimiera, he Would nianceuvre his army into strong cantonments, and endeavour to defeat, by negociation, t advantages which our arms had gain, ed in the field.he He would place himself under the tuition of
