i 1HE DECtAJftATiOlJ or INDEPENDENCE* We have no authentic copy of this most important Btate Paper, the - very basis that supports the proud co lumn of American Liberty; none, at least on which the eye of taste can- rest, for a moment, with satisfaction.— war HAVE WE HOT? PfThe English nation, still proud of their MAGNA CH ART A, though every provision it contains has been trampled upon by the bold ambition of their rulers, have pvihlished edition after edition of tliis ^instrument, each more splendid than its predecessor. Sir William Black- stone has Collated and commented on it. His fine copy of Magna Charta has been excelled by later specimens of the art, and the fac similies of the seals and signatures hive made every reader of taste in Great-Britain acquaint ed, in some degree, net merely with the state of know- tedgte and of art at the period in question, but with the literary attainments, also, of King John, King Henry, and their “Barons bold.” Surely the Declaration of American Independence is, At least, as well entitled to the decorations of art as the Magna Charta of England; and if the fac-similies of the signatures of the patriots who signed it were published in America, it would serve to gratify a curiosity, at least laudable as that which calls for imitations of the cor respondents of Junius, or of the aristocracy that wrested the English Charter from tile reluctant monarclis of the tolV. We are firmly persuaded that the more the principles of oyjr Declaration of Independence are spread out be fore the eyes of the world, the more they will he admir ed, by foreign nations as well as our own, and every in nocent and honest device that may serve to attract at tention toward them, will serve, also, to promote the great cause of public liberty. Such an embellished edi tion as will render it an ornament to an apartment, will have a tendency to spread the knowledge ot .ts contents, among those who, would otherwise _ have turned their thoughts but lightly towards the subject. Such an edi tion will serve to place ijt continually under the eye ot man, woman and child in a family—it will associate the pleasureable ideas of elegance and ornament with the history of the transaction itself—and familiarise those principles which form, or ought to form, the very bond and cement of political society. Nor is it of small mo ment that such an edition, well executed, will serve as a specimen of the state of the Fixe Ahts amongst us as at tqe present day. Actuated by these views, the subscri ber proposes to publish A SPLENDID EDITION OF THE DECLARATION INDEPENDENCE, Which shall be, in all respects, American. All the ne cessary materials shall be manufactured in this country, and expressly for this publication. The Designs, the F.nerrmn-ngs shall be the work of American Artists: the publication throughput shall afford evidence of what our citizens have done in politics and can do in art. Philadelphia, March, 1816. ELAN AND TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. When the publisher submitted the preceding notice "(jf his intention to undertake this national publication, al though it had Long occupied his reflections, he was not fully aware of its importance, for he had never suspected what the fact really is, that there is no -where extant an authentic published copy of the most important Paperin toe annals of the world. The original Declaration of Independence, as depo- 'sited'in the secretary of state’s office, was happily pre served when so many valuable papers were consumed by thediicmy. Without dwelling upon slight differ ences, inaccuracies, or omissions, the first words which present themselves in our printed copies, and even as they are.pf record cn the Journals of the Old Congress, are as follows;— « a declaration bt the representatives op the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED,”— whereas in the original the Declaration is thus headed— “THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” This is qot a mere verbal distinction; i- involves a.dif- ference in principle. Does it^twcome Americans to be careless on tliis subject, or ought interpolation or altera^ tion of any kind to be permitted in public document so Sacred? Ought it not to be faitiifuliy preserved and transmitted to posterity word for word, letter for letter and point for point? The American public will unhesitatingly answer YES! and the publisher stands pledged to have it so engraved, and to accompany it with the requisite proofs of authen- ticity- <■ **■' The size of the Paper will be thirty-six inch.es by twen- tylmuL.. It will be ’manufactured by Mr. Amies, in liis best maimer and of the very best materials. The Design, which is from the pencil of Mr. Biudport, will be executed in imitation of Bus Belief; and will en circle the Declaration as a cordon of honor, surmounted by the Arras of the United States. Immediately under neath the arms will be a large medallion portrait of gene ral GEORGE WASHINGTON,supported by cornucopia-, and emjbelliahed with spears, fags, and other military tro- phie* and emblems. Oil the one side of this medallion portrait, will be a similar portrait of JOHN HANCOCK, President of Congress, July 4, 1776; and on the other a of THOMAS JEFFERSON, author of the De claration of Independence. The arms “of the Thirteen United States,” in medal lions, united by wreaths of Olive Leaves, will iorm the remainder of the cordon, which will be further enriched by some of the characteristic productions of the United States; such as tlie Tobacco and Indigo Plants, the Cot ton Shrub, Rice, 8cc. The whole of the design, (excepting the portraits) will be engraved by Mr. Murray, of Philadelplua, who has for sor/t? weeks been at work on the plate. Mr. Leney, of New-York will engrave the Portraits. By the advice ofaH the artists engaged, the publisher has abandoned the idea of printing the declaration with types., %nd lias determined to have the whole of it en graved. ‘The ornamental disposition and style of tlieen- gravifigbf the Declaration of Independence, which will ocdupjy the interior of the cordon, will be designed and executed by Mr. Fairman. The 'jht-t\wdlics will be' engraved by Mr. Vaxlance, whd’Will execute this important part of the publication at theefty of Washington, where'by permission of the se cretary 6f state, he will have the original signatures constantly updcgji.iacrw The public are well apprized that the gentlemen whose names have been mentioned, as undertaking par ticular departments in the proposed publication, are the first artists in the United States, and they have, one and all f assured the publisher that they will sedulously devote themselves to the execution of the several parts they have! amfef-fakeh, and will finish then! in such a manner, as to do credit to themselves and to the country, so far as depends on toe anxious employment of their respective talents on this national work. Fhe portraits will be engraved from original paint ings and the most esteemed likenesses. The arms of the United States, and of the several states, will he faithfully executed Vhom official descriptions ANp documents, and in the manner directed by the most approved authors on the science of Heraldry. eototed fey one of bur most approved water eotorer*.

Pursuant to a resolution of Council, the following re port is published for the information of all concerned. “The committee to whom was referred the considera tion of tlie best mode of redeeming, investing and appro priating the funds derived from the emission of corpora tion treasury change bills, report—that for tlie further security of the holders of the said bills, the treasurer do keep a separate account of the amount issued and that he do keep tlie sums in the treasury of the city, to enable him to pay bills when presented to him, and that on no occasion d6 he make use of the sums so received, but for the payment of the said bills, unless otherwise authorised by special resolution of council. Your committee are of opinion, that the amount issued is too small to enable couhcil to make any approprl v on of tlie same by invest ment in funds or otherwise to draw interest, and '.hat the existence of these bills may be too short in their limita tion to authorise council for the present to make any permanent appropriation of their proceeds. Your com mittee further recommend that the treasurer do receive for said bills, the current money of the city, to wit—the notes of B.jiks which are not depreciated further than the difference of exchange, and that the treasurer furnish the committee of Finance with the amount of change bills issued, and tlie amount on hand received for the same, and that he do advertise that persons, holders of the change hills, will receive payment at any time, by calling on the treasurer—buit no sum under one dollar will be paid.
