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. | CONGRESS. IN SENATE. 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.] The committee on post offices, and post roads were instructed, on motion ofMr. Shaw to enquire into the expediency ofestubluhin a post route from Albany, N.

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.
