4 NP.W Rories being intended to commence
l V with the year 1820, it is thought prr»pcr to
lav before Huhscriblrs and the public tlie plan
which is proposed for the filture.
This .loni nid, as the original subscriber* doubt
less recollect, was at first, and so long as it re-
tained the title of “Select Keviewt” limited to
a sclcc ion from British Ifev iews and Magazines
of '^r'o articles as were most Interesting in this
cr.Fvrv. This plan was suited to the circum
stances of thut period, the Port F*dio was then
composed almost entirely of original matter, anil
conducted with ability) and the "Atbumemn,"
now puhlislicd at Boston, had not appeared.—
The British periodical'publication* were objects
of grout interest and curiosity, and from them
was eniilv formed * magazine, both useful and
entertaining.
The title was changed and original matter in-
troduccj'Wlicn Mr. Washington Irving became
the unit or, and the earliest volume* of the t, .In-
ale die Mnq , utme >> were enriched will) sonic of
the finest productions ot that elegant and justly
favorite * riter. From Ilia’ tinto to the present,
very succeeding volume has contained much
original composition upon subjects of national
literal lire, biography aiul..bistnry, varying in
cpiuulity, according to the oi’casions of its pro-
tluction,und acc.ompanicdwitlui selection, more
choice and sparing, from a much increased num
ber of foreign publications!
Considerable diversity of opinion ha* prevail
eduiDongthoadviscT* or the Niirressivi- Editors
as to the due proportion of original and selected
matter, some urging the propriety of rendering
the Magazine purely original, and others rec
ommending the total exclusion oi all but selec
tions. The course pursued bus been a compro
mise between them* two opinions.
A periodical /fer/ew, wholly original U truly
American, conducted wit liability, tu id exteu-
siv el) patrdnizect, is indubitably a dr mile rattan in
our country. The “North American Review,“
puhhahcd quartt-rly at Bostou, is the only work
whiclt approaches this chaiacter. And until
our reading public *re more disponed than at
present to encourage such an enterprise, anoth
er cannot be attempted with any Impc of such
success as would produce either honor or profit
to the projectors.
The present Kditbr of the Analertlc Magazine
is, however, desirous to render it os muvrly an
original Journnl as public patronage will permit
and will) if circijmstanci s allow, gradually ex
clude till foreign aid from its pages.
The length of the subscription list must, how
ever, determine the quantity of original compo
sition that cun he paid for, and it is obvious tout
to depend tin the casual coiitrihilt iun* of gentle
men who w rite either for their ainusemeift a
lone, or from friendship to tin* Editor, would b*
a very infective dependence) although the Edi
tor gratefully acknowledges the many valuable
oinniuiiicntioiis received, tin* Near, from such
sources. Subscribers may however be assn vet
that no worthless original matter shall be insert
ed, merely because it is original, and no article
shall ever he inserted as original vvlfch is not
‘ruly so, as is too often done in some cotcmpo-
•ary JcnirnuJ.f. Since therefore original compo
sition cannot he Imped for at once, of a satislao
lory quality, and in quantity sufficient to iill all
the pages of the Magazine, no promise can at
present he made flirt her than that as much shall
l* procured us the patronage of the Journal
ill allow.
I he selected matter it is presumed, hdwever
ill be found of no little interest and value.—
he British journals have lately exhibited a
ry si'lv animosity towards our institutions, hut
‘ ey still contain many very ingenitts disquisi
tiniis, and much curious nfonnation, which must

“ . “/ <m rut rt uh'hattc docerihowever much
• may blame their prejudices, orcohtemn their
nilings, we still may find our profit in making
their Knowledge and the result of their.industry
and research our own. The Quarterly and Edin
burgh Uexiows are republished and extensively
circulated in the U. States, perhaps therefore
selections from them may not he generally ^ad
visable, lest the public should he tired by repe
tition. A%d on the other hand, the “Ladies'
Monthly Museum,“ “/.a Hclle Jssrmblee” ami
soire other works of the same light cluraoter
are carefully evisi. rated for that entertaining
miscellany the “Athenaeum.** Hut there are
many others, particularly the British Review,
British Critic, New Monthly Muga/.ine, Electie

supplying excellent and abundant matter for
selection and ubAruct. And besides all these,
the French Journals which arc not at all intro
duced to our reading public, either by republic
cation or extracts, form a much richer mine of
information. Tlie new work entitled "Httvue
T.ucyylopeditjuc'* is full of excellent writing on
politics and literature. The “Journal d a A'.i-
run#,' 1 “wlfmertv f'ntneuise," ami "Joiwml lute-

talent ami learning. Tnuislationsfvom throe will

th rnmu periodical works will be made use of in
the same ntanucr, though the difficulty of pro
curing a regular supply Forbids any precise en
gagement as to the freqqcny of translations
from them.
Every number will contain a monthly fist of
new publications, domestic and foreign, ami, as
far us can lie.obtained, an epitome of the pro
ceedings of scientific mul literary institutions,at
home and abroad.

n definite Understanding as to the norlli-
nmst important measure, is the treaty
orifla to tne United Suite s, and agree-
a bound: ry line between this country
mid the Ipanisli internal provinces. This new
line has keen exhibited on the Map fur some
time; buj, the treaty not being ratified by Spain,
the old ti’omidary will also he • hewn on the Map,
from the outlet of the Rio del Norte on the Gull
of Mexitju, to thu outlet of the River St. Francis
on the Pacific ocean. This will present a con*
cted view of the territory between the two
lines, and it will probably be of Importance
her. after to show both lines on the Map, whe
ther the treaty be eventually ratified or not.
No other change of anv consequence being
anticipated, that Map will nowWunte a more
permanent form than heretofore) aiul it being
tlie only complete Map of the United States,
and snowing also its relations with other coun
tries, it is believed of great importance that this
new edition have a large circulation; with that
view the price has been made very moderate
not being above two-thirds of the usual price ol
such works.
The paithor being of opinion that very impur-
tnht netv relations are about ti* take place be

world, particularly Mexico, South-America, and
the West-lndics, has improved his Map and De
scription of the World, und Map and Descrip

view of these relations. The improvements in
the Map and Description of the World will be
notified in tin* prosp. ctus of dial work- The
principal improvements oil the Map of the Uni
ted States are os follow:
An addition, consisting of an entirely new
view of the whole of Mexico and Yucatan, to
gether with the islands of Cuba, Jamaica, St.
Domingo, Porto-Rico, Santa-Cru/, Tortola, and
other West-lmlia islands. The Supplement is
enlarged so us to show at a glance the wholb oi
the nest'Indict, together with the northern
provinces of South^imerica, Panama, and the
Isthmus of Darien. The position of the Statis
tical '1'ubfe is so altered as to atford a distinct
view of the Gulf of Mexico, and the intimati
relation between the countries bordering upon
it and the United States; and the table is en
larged so as to include a view of all the coun
tries recently added to the Map, with a blank
column for the next census, which, when filled
up with a pen, will show the progressive geo

PROSPECTUS.
FOR P UBUSHING A JYE1V PAPER,
TO HZ CALLKl)
TIIE METROPOLITAN.
WHEN party spirit no where obtrudes itk
self, save now and then at a local election, it no
doubt will be deemed by many a most inauspU
cions arra to commence the publication of a nevr
paper at the Metropolis; but 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 tiniv, an honest and well conducted Jour
nal can he made most essentially Subservient t®
the best interests of the American people. The
public mind has so long been abstracted from
ry thing political, that the acts of, the exe*
cutive are scarcely ever enquired into, but it*
whole proceedings as tacitly acquiesced in, a*
if every man called to act in a high and respon
sible capacity, was rendered immaculate the mo*
ment he was enshrouded in the mantle of officer
or as if, when a public seal was once placed in
the bund, its holder could no longer do a wrong.
That this is a .most alarming feature in a Re*
pubfienn form of government, every candid mao
must admit. Some .Journals, it is true, have
endeavored to rouse the people from this dan#
gcrous repose, and to point out a few of tlie
hianv mournful example* on record, of nation*
slumbering until their liberties have fallen a sa
crifice totlieir apathy,- but the number of such
journals for the last two or three years'lms been
very limited, and more recently, so many of the
few have apostatised, that scarcely half u dozen
remain in the whole United States, that are not
iudisn'i inmate oppluuders of the executive branch
of the government. The great impregnable
fortress of a republic is the active jealousy of
her citizens; that forma the grand tower which
neither strength nor art can sap.— Too much
confidence invariably begets a degree ofisecu-
rity, when long ii.Julgcd, may lead to the 1 most
fatal consequences. Let us therefore be cau
tious, lest 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
tin. Religion, the great pillar which uphold*
our moral institutions, must lmve its importance
continually impressed on our minds, or i»s di
vine precepts would recede from us, and pro
bably be obliterated forevt*r:~rFtr is it with that
sacred inheritance, Lihkhtv, bequeathed to ut
by our fathers, mid afehieved with their blood*
the flume of which has hitherto burned so
bright on our altars—it lives only by constant die*
ciusion, and how is tlult discussion to he kept
aliie, if the whole moss of public opinion i*
suffered to run together, like a heap of molten
lead, into one dull and shapeless mould? The
Editor therefore thinks, that it w ill not only be
politic, but absolutely necessary to add anothe*
watchman, if it he merely to rattle ht the win
dows and cry “. hvahe, awake, all is not aufeP
Tli* Editor would not have tlie public infer
from the foregoing, that he is anxious to relive
party rancor, and all the feuds, prlvate aniniosi-
ticyj and jealousies, which have hitherto been
attached to it—he conceives thnt as much to be
deprecated on the one hand, as the total absence
of political spirit is to he lamented on the othe!\
Neither would he have his friends imply, that
because he is desirous of encouraging k full in
vestigation of our national affairs, he is to un
dertake at) unqualified opposition to the measure*
of the present aniuiniisiration, ilia ifUeution i*
to canVass them fairli, impartially, and respect-
full); to applaud that which he •conceives to
operate for the welfare of Jim country, and that
which he thinks wrong, unhesitatingly and un
equivocally to condemn. In thus promoting an
examination into the conduct of those w ho com
pose our cabinet, the Editor thinks lie would
benefit, rather than injure them, by stimulating
them if they be careless) exciting them if they
be lethargic, .awakening them to a full sense of
their responsibility, and calling the great majo
rity of tli* people to be witnesses, arbiters and
impellers of their conduct. W hile the grand
machine thus moves on its vast orbit, depart*
inents in a more limited sphere may no lest
need the salutary eye of vigilance, and inquiry.
The Editor pledges himself,That he will neU
ther waver jiur depart from the principles wiiicft
he has laid down for his guidance. '1 he end ii*
aims at is a liberal discussion of public measure*
for tlie public good— In furthering this desirable
object, connected with iiis wish to render hi*
K - generally useful, instructing and amusing,
Ucita the patronage of his fellow-citizens.
