AUGUSTA HERALD.
TUESDAY, Dkcember 8, IBtB.
The following; is a letter from a merchant in
Liverpool, to a commercial house in Savan
nah, dated
“ Liverpool, October 20, 1818.
“ Gentlemen—Since our last advices, of
the 20th ult. we have experienced the most
unprecedented languor in our cotton market,
and prices have consequently given way in
every description. At a public sale on Fri
day, which under the gloomy state of the
market was considered to have gone off well,
406 uplands were brought forward, and sold
at 18 a 18 1-2, for middling and pretty fair;
18 3-4 for good; 19 a 19 1-4 for fair; and
19 3-4 for good. 1650 Orleans were also of
fered, and 1450 thereof sold at from 17 3-4
very ordinary, to 20 and 21 d good. The tri
fling sales subsequently made have not been
•on better terms. In sea-islands little is do
ing; they continue of very difficult sale at
Spur last reduced quotations.
J “ f * ur present stock of uplands in importer’s
hands at Liverpool, appears, according to a
very accurate report, to be upwards 0f40,000
bags; and such are the daily additions to our
already large stock of all kinds, that we begin
to fear no improvement of prices can take
place this year; and under this despondent
impression, holders seem disposed to accept
of the present low currency whenever it can
be realized.
Foreign Extracts.
From papers by the brig Chatham, Captain
Harding, arrived at Savannah, 42 days
from Liverpool,
London, October 17.
The Paris papers of Wednesday last were
received this morning. They express with
considerable animation, their joy and grati
tude at the prospect of soon having their
country freed from the presence of foreign
and victorious armies. The expression of
this ir feelings is uniform, in attributing their
deliverance to the wisdom of their king, and
to the magnanimity of the allied sovereigns,
and their only boast, their only topic of ex
ultation, is the assurance of future peace and
happiness thus offered by the fostering go
vernment of one, and the generous confi
dence of the other monarchs.
The Journal des Uebats, in speaking of
the treaty of evacuation, says, that it is tho’t
the English will put themselves in inarch on
the 29th or 21st ; and will arrive at Calais on
the 24th, where transports are to be readv
to receive them. The Prussians, the Itns
sians, and tile Saxons, will arrange their
march so as not to follow each other too
quickly. They will go through the north of
Germany, and the Russians will continue
their march to Poland. Ml the other con
tingents will follow at equal distances.
Aix-la-Ciiadelle, October 9.
Since the third conference, in which, as I
have already informed you, the evacuation'
of the French territory was decided upon,
the periods and mode of payment of a fourth
part of the contributions, which France still
owes, have been the only objects which have
occupied the congress. This discussion is
entirely terminated, and the duke de Riche
lieu has just negociated, in a manner most ad
vantageous for his government, a loan with
the Christian bankers who arc in this city.
The stay of the sovereigns in Aix-la-Cha
pelle, will not be so long as might at first
have been conceived, and every thing an
nounces that at the end of this month the
conferences will be terminated. After the
departing review, which will take place on
the plain between Donchey and Sedan on
the 18th or 19th inst. the allied sovereigns i
will return to Aix-la-Chapelle, and in a few
days afterwards, they will set off for Paris, j
The emperor Francis will not be present at 1
the review.
October 10. |
Persons, worthy of credit, confidentially I
state, that the emperor Alexander has cans- ♦
ed a note to be given in, in which he re- j
quires of his august allies, that Napoleon ■
might be conducted from the Island of St.
Helena to a more healthy place. His majes
ty, itfcj said, insits upon the moral necessity
ofaelmg with more consideration towards
a man, whom sovereigns have treated with
upon a footing of equality; and who is al
lied to one of them. According to thyse
same reports, the emperor of Russia adds,
that his humanity ami religious principles
actuate him to consider it a duty to require,
that Napoleon should no longer remain in an
island where lie must infallibly perish. The
result of this demand, which appears to be
supported by the emperor of Austria, is not
yet known.
If the note of the emperor of Russia in fa
vor of Napoleon, do not give rise to further
discussions, the conferances will be termina
ted in few days, and the emperor Alexander
and the king of Prussia will be in Paris at
the end of the present month.
November 12.
The English army will not remain in llel
gium, as was said, but will return direct
to England.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, November 23.
On motion of Mr. Harrison, a committee
was appointed to enquire into the expediency
of authorising the employment of an addition
al number of clerks in the war department,
not exceeding twelve.
[The reason assigned for this motion was,
that-.unless some such measure was adopted,
tiie nersons for whose relief the pension law
of last session was designed, could not, for a
long time, if ever, obtain tiie benefit inten
ded thereby; for, be had been astonished to
find that, owing to the deficiency of clerks,
no application for that object, since tii
month of May last, had yet been decided o„
though several clerks were constantly en.-
ploved in that duty. The sally applications
wore of course first attendee to, and had no,
yet been dispatched.]

roads were instructed, on motion ofMr. Shaw
to enquire into the expediency ofestubluhin

DR. JOHNSON’S
©a©^a©vm'jJ3\
IN 2 VOLUMES QUAI* 10.
M. T hom.is Philadelphia, proposes to
publish by subscription,
'A DICTIONARY
OF THE
ENGLTBH LANGUAGE. «
IN which the words are deduced
from their originals, and illustra
ted in their diderent significations by
examples from the best writers. To
which are prefixed—A History of (he
Language, and an English Grammar
—BY SAMUEL JOHNSON L. L.
D. With the addition of the Stand
ard of Pronunciation established in
\\ alkar s Critical Pronouncing Dic
tionary.
The concurring tistin * lies of the
ablest scholars have placed Dr. John
son at the head of iliose Lexicogra
phers who have bestowed I heir labours
upon the English language. His D;c
tionary is universally acknowledged
to be the only true classical standard
of its signification, etymology, and
orthography ; and, perhaps, the most
in equivocal proof of (he estimation ill
whicii that valuable work continues
to be held is, that it has survived the
test of time, and passed the ordeal of
public scrutiny, with iiiidiminished
reputation and increasing demand.
Notwithstanding these recommen
dations, there remain to be added,
in order to render it a complete work
ol reference, rules for (lie pronuncia
tion of the words, (he want of which
is particularly fell in many cases,
w here variations have crept in and
corruptions have succeeded so as to
beget and circulate inaccuracy in
speech extensively over our country.
In none of the Loudon editions is the
effect remedied, and there is still
wanting a publication that shall com
bine the most authentic account of the
properties of words w ith the must cor
rect method of pronouncing them
such as shall at once determine any
doubts where they exist. To supply
this desideratum is the design of the
American publisher.
The judgment of the public has
long since acquiesced in the stand
aid of pronunciation ascertained and
fixed hv Walker, in his Critical Pro
notifying Dictionary ; in conformity
to which the rules and pronunciation
given in that work are adopted for
incorporation with a complete edition
of Johnson’s Dictionary. The rules
are given the prefatory part, and the
pronunciation of each word attached
to its correspondent word in Johnson.
1 his cannot tail to he regarded us a
material accessory advantage in a
publication ol Johnson's Dictionary,
Ike integrity of which, at the sanie
time, will lie scriipuously preserved.
The significations assigned by Wal
ker, in li’s Dictionary, are altogether
superseded bv the more ample eluci
dations of Johnson, Indeed for the
distinction of having traced every
part of speech in our language
through all it* nicest shades of dis
crimination, anil widest range of
meaning, that eminent scholar is with- j
out a competitor. With a degree of j
diligence and research that have con
ferred upon his labors an unrivalled j
value, he has adduced in support of
his chief decisions a mass of quoted
authorities, derived from the best au
thor* io every department of English
literature, which will be found equal
ly instructive and entertaining to the
general reader, and essential to the
philologist.
In this respect, indeed, tuemnques
tion*bf® superiority of the present
over the smaller, incomplete editions
of Johnson, is such as to'entitle it t v
a decided preference. Os Dr. John
son’s Quarto Dictionary no edition
hrs ev•* 1 before been published in this
country ; the English copies, being
very custly are imported in small
numbers, and it is probable that in the
United Slates there are not more than
half a dozen copies for sale at this
time. An \mcncan edition is there
fore undoubtedly wanted; but to print
a work of such magnitude is an under
taking at once arduous and expensive,
needing the support of that public pat
ronage which, on an attentive consid
eration of the advantages offered, it
is hoped will be accorded.
A new edition of Johnson was pub
lished last year in London, on the
plan of the original folio edition, re
vis'd by the Doctor himself; from a
copy of this the American edition will
be printed, with all the erne neces
sary to ensure correctness.
A very large capital is engaged in
the work, and every exertion is em
ployed to render it, in all respects,
creditable to the American press.—
The public will form au opinion upou
the specimen before it, and it is per
haps, sufficient to state, in order to
secure the suffrage of every friend to
letters that it is equal, in every res
pect, if not superior, to the last Lon
don edition..
The work will be printed with a
good type, on a handsome and sub
stantial paper, mauufaetured express- ]
ly for the purpose. I
It will be delivered to subscribers
in handsome r.olf gilt binding, at 14
