which is proposed for the future.

u selection from llritisn Reviews and Magn/.im *
of such articles as were most interesting in this
cmui'ry. This plan was suited to the circum
stances of that period, the Port pol o was then
composed almost entirely of original matter, and
conducted with ability; and the “Atlicnseum,”
now, published at Boston,' had not appeared.—
The British periodical publications were objects
of great interest and curiosity, and from them
was easily formed a magazine,’ both useful and
entertaining.

A periodical ll-vi-v), uhollv original t* truly

AOCOMPA>IED BY
A Geographical Description of the Several
Countries represented on the Map.
A NEW* EDITION,
With Important Additions ami Improvements,
BY JOHN MELiSfl.
THE author oi'tlio Map In-iug desirous of ma
king it as extensively useful as possible, has im
proved it from time to time, so as it might pre
sent a faithful picture of the progrcss.ve geo
graphy of this most interesting country.
Since the first edition of the Map was publish,
ed, very great changes have taken mace in tlie
United-States. In particular tile Ilium.s terri
tory lius been enlarged aucl converted into a
state. The Mississippi territon has been divi
ded and converted into two states; two new ter
ritories, and live land offices, litfte been firmed
beyond the Mississippi river, and several-very
important surveys have been made be'wevn
Lake Erie, and the Mississippi, peuseifting an
• nliivly ivfcw view of that interesting section of
the country.
The northern boundary between this country
and the British {possession lias been formally
agreed upon, as far as tlie Rock) mountains, and
the British ami United States governments have
come to a definite understanding us to the north
west coast.
Hut the most important measure, is the treaty
ceding Florida to tile United States, and Agree*
mg upon a boundary line between this country
ami the Spanimi internal provinces. This new
line hasj been exhibited on the Map tor some
time? hut, the treaty not being ratified l>v Spain,
the ©Id boundary will also be •■hewn on the Map,
from the outlet of the Hio del Norte on the Gulf
of Mexico, to thy outlet of the River St. Francis
on the Pacific ocean. This will present a con
nected view of the territory between the two
lines, and it will probabh be of importance
hereafter to show both lines on the Map, whe
ther the treaty be eventually ratified of not.
No other change of any consequence being
anticipated, that Map will now assume a more
permanent fohn than heretofore; and it being
the only complete Map of the United States,
and showing also its relations with other coun
tries, it is believed of great.iinportapce that this
new edition have a large circulation; w ith that
view the price has been made very 'moderate,
not being above two-thirds of the usual price of
such works.
Thejiuthor being of opinion that very impnr-
tml new relations are about to take place be-
ttVCen the United-States and other parts ot the
world, particularly Mexico, South-America, and
the. West-Indies, has improved his Map mid De
scription of the World, and Map and Descrip
tion of the United-States, so us to embrace a
view of these relations. The improvements in
tlie Map and Description of the World will be
notified in the prospectus of that work- The
principal improvements on the Map of the Uni
ted Suites are as follow:
An addition, consisting of an entirely new
view of tlie whole of Mexico and Yucatan, to
gether with the islands of Cuba, Jamaica, St.
Domingo, Purto-Rico, Santa-Cfuz, Tortola, and
other Wekt-lndtu islands. The Supplement is
enlarged so aV to Show at ft glance the whole of
the iTest Indies, together with the northern
provinces of Sonth-Jimerica, Panama, and the
Isthmus of Darien. The position of the Statis
deal Table is so altered as to afford a distinct
view of the GuJJ' of Att.rico, and tlie intimate
relation between tTie countries bordering upon
it and the United States? and the. table is en
larged so as to include a view* of ah the coun
tries recently added to the Map, with u blank
column for tlie next census, which, when filled
tip with a pen, will show tlie progressive geo-
gVanhy of the country.
The Geographical Description,
KSH r E^jriON,
Will contain, as heretofore, a brief descrip
Jhon of ail the countries exhibited on the face ot
the Map; with a topographical view of all the
states and territories, and u numerous series ol
slai’St/Cul tables, lists of post-offices, if’e.
In an Appendix a view will be -taken of the
poit'ifa! relations of the'United-States, patticu
lartv as regards Mexico, the West- Indies, am
South America; and a system of political econo
m> will be pointed out, calculated to promote t
favopu.de commerce with these countries,'and
• thereby produce an exchange highly .iavoiahl*
I io this country.
counlries in the hands of the author, and the
nab that will be made of it in this publication,
it is presumed that a more acceptable work
cannot he presented to the American commu
nity, or to such of the citizens of other countries j
as arc desirous of becoming intimately acquaint
ed with this part of the western world.
A high degree of importance has been stamp
ed upon the Map by the references m de to it
m the lute* negotiation with Spain; which cir-
ouinstaiice has led to the present exertions to
improve it to the utmost, and every exertion
shall he used to render the Map and Dcscrip.
tion a perfect, complete, and ample picture of
the whole of the country hereby exhibited to
public view.
The work will he issued from the press as
soon us possible after the publication of the
treaty. In the mean time subscribers will he
taken for it hv the author, No. 121, Chesnut*
street, on the following
CONDITIONS.
I. The Map, engraved in the best manner,

PROSPECTUS
FOR PUBLISHING A NEW PAPER,
TO UK CAlLXD
THE METROPOLITAN, _
WHEN party spirit no where obtrudes It
self, save now and then at a local election, it no
oubt will be deemed by many a most inauspi
cious rern to commence the publication of a new
paper at the, Metropolis; hut the editor is of
opinion, (and he thinks he will be borne out in
that opinion by many of the wisest and best men
in the nation,) that at the present* above any
other tim •, an honest and well conducted Jour
nal can he made most essentinlly^aubservient to
the best interests oft he American people. Tho
public mind has so long been abstracted from
every thing political, that the acts of the exe
cutive are scarcely ever enquired into, but it*
whole, proceedings as tacitly acquiesced in, a»
if cVcrv num called bo action high and respon
sible capacity, was rendered immaculate the mo
ment lie was enshrouded in the mantle of office j
or as if, when a public seal was once placed in
the hand, its holder could no longer do a wrong*
That this is a most alarming feature in a Re-
publican form of goveVnment, every candid man
must admit. Some .Jpumajs, it is true, have
ndeavored to rouse the people from this dan
gerous repose, and to point out a few of tho
many mournful examples on record, of nations
slumbering until their liberties have fallen a sa
crifice to tlieir apathy; but the number of such
journals for the last two or three years has been
Very limited, uiifi more recctitly, so many if the
few h .ve apostatised, that scarcely half a dqjcn
remain in the whole United States, that are not
indiscriminate applaudcrs of the-executive branch
of the government. The great impregnable
fortress of a republic iq the active jealousy of.
her citizens; Mm forms the graudjtower which
neither strength nor ait can sup.—-'Too much
confidence invariably begets a degree of secu
rity, when long indulged, may lead to the most
fatal consequences. Let us therefore he cau
tious, leat in our over-strained zeal for reconci
liation, and the extinction of party,,we do not
put out the light of Liberty forever from among
us. Religion, the great pillar which upholds
our moraiinstiiutions, must have its importance
c ontinually impressed on our minds, or its di
vine precepts- would recede from us, ana pro
bably be obliterated forever:—so is it with that
sacred inheritance, l.niKJvrr, bequeathed'to us
by our fathers, and ateliieved with their l^uod,
the flame of which has hitherto barnefi so
bright on our altars—ft lives only by constant ills-
mission, and how is that discussion to be kept
alive,'-if the whole mass of public opinion is
suffered to run together, like a heap of mufien
load, into one dull and shapeless mould? 'I he
Editor therefore thinks, that it will not only be
politic, but absolutely necessary to add another
watchman, if it be merely to rattle at the win
dows and cry u AxedU\ awake, all is not safe.**
The Editor Would not have tlie public infer
from the foregoing, that hr ia anxious to revive
party rancor, and all the foods, private animosi
ties and jealousies, which have hitherto been
attached to it—r- he conceives tlmt a* much to be
deprecated on the one hand, a§ the total absence
of political spirit is to be lament ed on the other.
Neither would he have his friends imply, that
because he is desirous of encouraging aii^i in
vestigation of our national affairs, he is to un
dertake an unqualified opposition to tlie measures
of the present administration. His imsntinn is
to canvass them fairly, Tmpartially, and respect
fully; to applaud- that which he c'otveivcs to
operate, for the welfare of It's country, and that
which lie thinks wrong, unhesitatingly and un
equivocally to condemn. Jn thus promoting an
examination into the conduct of those w ho com
pose our cabinet, the Editor thinks he would
benefit, rather than injure them, by stimulating
them if they be careless, exciting them if they
be lethargic; awakening, them to u full sense of
their responsibility, and calling tfie great majo
rity of the^peopie to he witnesses, arbiters and
impellers of their conduct. While the grand
machine thus moves on its vast orbit, depart
ments in a more limited sphere may no Its*
need the salutary eye of vigilance and inquiry.
The Editor pledges himself, that he will nei
ther waver nor departfram the principles w Inch
he lias laid down for his guidance. The eitfl he
a’ms at is a liberal discussion of public measures
for the public good—In furthering this desirable
object, connected with his wish’to render Ilia
paper generally useful, instructing and amusing*
he solicits tlie patronage of his fellow-citizens.
