The publication to which I allude, is the 4th article of
the 26th number! Of the Quarterly Review; and to prove
that this work is under the control of the British'minis-
try, andi is kept dp for the express purpose of circulat
ing their ideas andopinions, I shall here insert the cha
racter given of it in the 30th vol. of Cobbett’s Register,
No. 4, pages 100,101.
“The Quartshlt Rkvhw, which, I see, is a work in
much vogue with the selectors in America, shall stand first
upon the list, though it ' is of comparatively' recent esta
blishment. To obtain reverence, and to secure it from
the gross of mankind, witfibut having any just claim to
it, oneway is to keep out of their right, an art, by the by,
practised by the Guelphs with uncommon success; it
beihg, as all foreigners observe, far more difficult to ob
tain a sight of any of them than of all the sovereigns of
Hurope; and bets have been off ered, that a man, starting
from London, would see the emperor Alexander at Pe
tersburg, sooner than one left in London would .be able,
■without a heavy bribe, to see the prince regent."
“The grand Lamms owes all his fame, and all the dc-
'■-,n paid to him, to the angle circumstance of his
being seen; and priests (I mean cheating priests'(
of all ages have pyed no small part of their success to the
keeping of them relics, and other saered wares, hidden
frorii the eyes of the vulgar. Thus the authors of Re
views, by keep their real names a secret from the pub
lic; by making use of the word WE, and by talking in
a style indicative of greatself-confidepice and great inde
dependence, would leave more to suspect them of being
any thing short of gentlemen of character and fortune,
Shaving from their natural high place in society, a right
to take upon them the species of censorship exercised
sn their works. Hence their opinions, ncit only of books,
but of men and measures, are looked up to with rever
ence, or, at least, with some degree of respect, it being
almost impossible to beliwe, that such men would wil
fully torture 'a meaning, or mistate a fact. But, if the
• public could see them as they really are, a set of mean
spirited, dependent creatures eating their daily bread out
of the hands of a clerk of the treasury, almost as com
pletely, and with a vast deal more servility, than a spa
niel eats a bit put of the hand of his master; if they
could see in these Judges of literary works a nest of
needy men, writing for so much a page, and sometimes,
paid in advance by the editor, who sets under the trea
sury, as an overlooker of laborers under the employer;
if the public could see them in this light, their pom
pous WE would not stand them in much stead. Let
-those, therefore, Who have been accustomed to look
with such profound respect to the “Gentlemen” of the
Quarterly Review attend a little to the following state'
ment. This Review was set up by the government in
opposition to the. Edinburgh Review, which is devoted
to the “Opposition” and, for the reasons that I shall
have to state by and by. I have seen it asserted, in an
American. Pamphlet, entitled “The United and England,
He” published not long ago, that Southey, the Poet Lau
rent, is the editor, or overseer of this work. This is a
mistake, Mr. Southey being only one of the principal
laborers, or journeymen, writing the review of his own
works without payment, and reviews of other works at
four pounds a sheet, or five shillings a page, that be
ing the price except for reviews of Mathematical
works, for which double the prices is given. It is fFm.
Gifford, who is tiie editor, or overseer of this Review.—
And, *now we will see who this independent gentleman
is. He is the son of a shoemaker at Ashburton in De
vonshire; was brought V and put to school by * cler
gy man, named Cooksoii; became travelling tutor to lord
BetrtaVe, now lord Grosvenor; was a dependant in the
■did lord Grosvtnor’s fataily in 1796, when the noble
'Earl having a vote or two in the house of commons, and
his son no longer wanting a tutor, a provision out of
'the public purse was demanded by the noble peer for his
sen’s tutor, though that noble peer had a private for
tune of more than a hundred thousand portends a year.
At the time here spoken of the Anti Jacobin newspa
per was about to be established by the treasury. Can
ning, Store, G. Ellis, lord Grenville, and sometimes
Pitt himself wrote in this paper. Mr. Gifford was the
editor of this paper, a large share of the profits of which
he received, while all the expences of the establishment
"were actually paid by the treasury; so that this was
neither more nor less than being hired by the govern
ment; and thus this independent gentleman began his
public career as a mere hack, and, to do him justice,
the sequel hasproved him to have been no changeling,
at any rate. The Anti-Jacobin newspaper was dropped
at the end of a little more than a year; but as it was
necessary for Wiixiaj* Giffokd, esq. to continue to
eat, and as. earl Grosvenor did not appear to be- disposed
that he should eat again at his expense, the Squire was
made Surveyor of Green Wax, a sinecure place of 260
pounds a year, just,then luckily become vacant by the
death of the Honorable Horace Walpole. The old duke
of Rutland had some such scandalous place, and, upon
tone of his friends taking him why be did not give up
such a paltry thing, he replied, ‘mo, it helps to feed my
■hounds!" This saying of nis Grace, which I have from
major Cartwright, 'who knew his Grace well, very aptly
design ates the use which the treasury has made of a si
milar place in the instance of William Gifford, a leader
in their pack of literary hounds, a sort of animal much
more malignant than the hounds of the duke of Rutland.
But, 260 pounds a year was a sum too scanty to satisfy
a squire of such high birth, who, therefore, continued to
kick his heels in the anti-chamber of George Rose, till
lottery, with
i year. Thu*
having been
the latter made him a commissioner of tee
a salary during pleasure, of 300 pounds a
was he enlisted a literary hack for life; and

Quarterly Review, any article that should be found to
contain one single sentence favorable to political, civil,
or religious liberty, or any appearance of a want of
d In the cause of this government, would, in one
••ite, take from him his 300 pounds a year, and drive
. from the first floor, where he now lives, to .the shab-
.. second floor which he formerly inhabited. Now,
ust it not be mortifying to the. last degree to see the
.•.leric&n Reviews and Magazines conveying to the
ieopie of that country, the contents of a work thus es-
■hliahed and sustained, as if they , proceeded from the
pens of independent and honorable men, actuated by a.
l ive of truth. To be. the agents of these hirelings and
impostors is degrading enough in itself; but, to be the
cause of enabling these corrupt men to insinuate ‘their
principles, softly and by slow degrees, into the hearts
and minds of the numerous and fast
j popula
tion of America; to republish, m short, the publication

are falling From his Ups, and spreading drver tee world,
his minions are employed, under tee very eyes of the

a murderer! And, this, even with tee knowledge of tee

(without surprise) in one of ffiofftgthe American) pub
lic papers, teat Mr. Madison has appointed him (David
Porter, esq. such as our readers have aefen him) one of
the commissioners of the American navy.” ■,.
Of the bitterness and gross falsehoods which character
ise the article, before alluded to, it is not my intention
to speak at present. Every rtader of that article must
have been struck with the additional proof it affords,'
that no events of the late war were so galling to the
royal lovers of John Bull, as the many triumphs of our
navy over their boasted “mistress of the ocean.” This
was, in fact, the sole cause shy the ministerial reviewers
of England singled out commodore Porter’s journal, as
a foundation for the expression of (heir unbridled rage
and remorse. The antipathies which they harbor against
tee officers of our navy, who have so often humbled
their vaunting bravos, lead them to embrace every op
to load these officers with scurrility and abuse;
right or wrong, to spare no pains of their owuto satiate
that burning hatred, which the battles of Erie ami Cham
plain, the capture of the Guerriere, Macedonian, Java,
Frolk^ -&c. &c. &c. long since created in their hearts.
With respect to commodore Porter, their malice against
him appears to have originated in tee fact, that instead
of surrendering the Essex to the Phoebe and Cherub in
10 or 15 minutes after the action commenced, as the
captains of these vessels strongly calculated upon, he
should have had tee unexampled hardihood to fight them
for two hours and a half. Captain Tucker, of
the C-herub, is known to have asserted since,
that he certainly expected to have seen “Free
Trade and Sailor’s Rights," hauled down an hourortwo
before it actually was hauled down. But, surely, if com
modore Porter saw it fitting to fight his ship for a longer
period than the British gentlemen had calculated upon,
this could furnish no legitimate excuse for lord Castie-
reagh’s Reviewers wvifljfy and blacken his character, in
such an extraordinary manner as they have done. He
should have reflected, in his anxious blood to conciliate
America, teat long and obstinate fighting is a fault, per-

hops, peculiar to the people of this country, and dial
this fault ought not to have been employed by his scribes,
as a handle to ridicule our chief magistrate, or to abuse
a distinguished officer of the government. Of the na
ture of that libellous matter to which I have so often
referred, some idea may be formed from the index of
tee Review, which, in reference to the article on the
commodore’s Journal, is, in part, as follows:
— " * cruise in the Pacific
“PojrTEK, (captain) journal qf a i
Ocean, remarks on the vulgurity of his style—his base
tut*—-iu&moi
conduct at tee isle of Fernando de Noronaa—infamous
address of, to his crew—multifarious functions of his
chaplain—his falsehoods detected—his arrival at the
Marquesas island—abandoned conduct of Porter and
his crew—his barbarous treatment of tee Happahs—de
testable cruelties of captain Porter and crew—his false
hoods exposed,” &c.
With regard to the “vulgarity” of captain Porter’s
style, (which, in another part of the article, is stated to
be that of a boatswain’s mate) I am quite sure that the
pensioned writer, who has acquitted himself so 'pecul
iarly in the above index, never told a more downright
falsehood. There is not a single voyage recorded in the
annals of Great Britain, from Hakluyt down to Macart
ney, so correctly and so properly diawn up as that of cap
tain Porter’s. His style is simple and plain—often ele
gant and forcible—and, a few gram&ticul errors of the
press excepted, will vie in excellence with that of any
British navigator Mr. Gifford can produce. Where will
tie find: one,for example, who can boast of a paragraph
like the following, quoted by himself, or Ins
from the commodore’s journal. It ailudes te foieyoUng
ladies of Chili, at a dance, “With their grace, their beau
ty of person and complexion, and with thfcir modesty, we
were delighted, and could almost fancy we nad got
ten amongst our own countrywomen; but in one mo
ment the illusion vanished. The bullas de tierra, as they
are called, commenced; they consisted of the most grace
less, and, at the same time, fatiguing, movements of the
body and limbs, accompanied by the most indelicate and
lascivious motions, gradually increasing in energy and
violence, until the fair one, apparently overcome with
passion, and considerably exhausted with fatigue, was
compelled to retire to her Seat; her rosy cheeks and fatf
complexion disappeared in the large drops of sweat
which ran trickling down her neck and breast, and were
succeeded by the sallow tinge which nature had bountiful
ly bestowed.”
But to compare tee style of the commodore’s journal,
correct as it is, with-that of any English voyager in his
present garb, would be extremely unfair and illiberal, in
asmuch as there is hardly one British navigator whose
journal was not previously committed to the revision
and correction of a professed writer before it-* went to
ptesb. In one'of the numbers of the Edinburgh Re
view the reader will find, amongst others^ that the voy
ages of Cooke, Anson and Vancouver, were all re-writ
ten by professed scholars in England, and that the. style
of these boasted British navigators was too absurd to ap
pear in public. But notwithstanding all this, written as
commodore Porter’s was, under the numerous disad
vantages described in his preface, it will yet be found,
upon comparison, to surpass, in good style, those of
Cooke, Anson, and Vancouver, even in their new dress, as
much as an American seaman surpasse s the bravest tar
of Britain in skill, courage and activity. It is not a lit
tle amusing, however, to mark tee obvious inconsisten
cies of which thesd mercenary reviewers are guilty.—
When they lately reviewed the voyage, pf thfcir country
man Turnbull, they complained loudfyof the smoothness
and strict propriety of his style; and were highly displeas
ed, because, they said, ithad too much thesir of a profess-
«1 writer, and did notappearto come warm from the heart
censured him severely -fey comparing something
to the tail of a paper kite fosteati of the vane at the head
of tee ship’s mast, because this, they said, was more
natural to tee mind of a sailor than the other: and upon
the whole; were very sorry that he had not been more
free in the use of sea faring terms and written his voy-
—; inn gjore plain and simple strain. Apd, now, behbldJ?
en they have gotten such a journal af they had here
ihedfor, they turn about upon the opposite ts»k#Ttod
complain that it is too much ilithe stvle of a boatftwain’s
mate!!! Their inconsistency, however, is equalled by
ignorance, as (If room were afforded) canid easily be
proved. One instance must suffice for the present. In
attempting to throw ruiiculeupon the theory of the trade
winds, which contmodore Porter has inserted near the
beginnmg of his jottmal, the reviewer laughs at him for

Messrs. Lewis & -Hall—I wrote to you by

has occurred since.
The water, I believe, has ceased to rise in the
city, it having found a vent into Lake Borgne.
The breach in the levee above towqr i9 not yet

hopes that it will be done speedily. The ope

They have moored two large ships across its
mouth, and have begun to throw m bags filled
with eaptli. The water with which part of the
city is covered begins to throw out a horrid
smell, produced, no doubt, by its communication
with the privies and with the burying ground.
Imagine what our situation will ba during the
heats of August! There is spmething odd in
seeing boats row through the streets of a popu
lous city. On Saturday last, a sloop from across
Lake Pontchartrain sailed on the Bayou road,
as far as the house formerly owned by Daniel
Clark, and then struck across the fields to the
rear«f t^iiscity^ without once touching bottom
Yesterday (Sunday) all the world sailed on par
ties of pleasure to the Bayou St. John; this is
usually a pleasant afternoon’s ride—-what is
still more droll, several sailed on dry-land up to
the crosses.
