now published at Ruston, hail not appeared
The British periodical publications were object!
of *rcat interest and curiosity. and from them
was riaily formed a ma*s«ine, both useful and
entertaining.
Tlw* title was changed ami original matter in-
troduerd when Mr. Washingtmi Irving became
the editor, and the earliest volumes of the
u/ertic Magazine** were enriched with some of
the finest productions of that elegant ami justly
favorite writer. From that time to the firescnt,
every succeeding volume ha* contained much
original composition upon subjects of national
literature, biography and history, v*ryi„g m
, quiuitity, Hccording to the occasions of its pro-
! 'Diction, and accompanied with a selection, more
choice and sparing, from x much increased num
ber of foreign publications.
Considerable diversity of opinion has prevail,
ed among the adviser* of the successive Editor*
ns to the due proportion of original and selected
matter, some urging the propriety of rendering
the MsgtClInc purely original, and others rec-
omincnding the total exclusion of all but selec
tions. The course pursued has been a compro
mise between these two opinions.
A periodical fievievt, wholly original truly
American, conducted with ability, and exten
sively patronized, is Indubitably a detideraUm in
our country. The “N< rth American Review,”
published quarterly at Boston, is the only work
which approaches this diameter. And until
our reading public are more disposed than at
present to encourage such an enterprise, anoth
er cannot he attempted with any hope of such
success as would produce either honor or profit
to the projector*.
The present Editor of the Aiudertic Magazine
s, however, desirous to render it hs nearly an
original Journal ns public patronage will permit
and will; if circumstances allow, gradually ex
clude all foreign aid from its pages.
The length of the subscription list must, how-
ever, determine the quantity of original compo
sition that can he paid for, and it is obvious that
to depend on the cusuul contributions of gentle
men who write either for their amusement a-
lone, or from liiendshlp to the Editor, would he
a very insecure dependence; although the Edi
tor gratefully acknowledges the many valuable
communications received, this year, from such
sources. Subscribers may however he assured
that no worthless original mat ter shall he insert
ed, merely because it is original, and no article
shall ever he inserted us original which is not
truly so, as is too oAen done in some cotempo*
ran’ Journals. Since therefore original Compo
sition cannot he hoped for at once, of a satisfac
tory quulity, and in quantity sufficient to till all
the pages of the Magazine, no promise cfln at
present be made further than that as much shall
be procured as the patronage of the Journal
will allow.
The selected matter it is presumed, however
will be found of no little interest and Value.—
The .British journals have lately exhibited a ve
ry silly animosity towards onr institutions, but
they still contain many very iiigenins disquisi
tions, and much curious information, whrih must
be interesting and useful to the Ainerinin pub-
lie. '*/'<».» mt et ub hotte dneevt,** hswever mneli
we may blame their prejudices, or contemn their
railings, we still may find our profit in making
their knowledge uud the result of theirindustrv

burgh Reviews are republished and extensively
circulated in the U. States, perhups therefore

supplying excellent and abundant matter for
selection and abstract. Amt besides all these,
the Frem ii Journals which are not at all intro-
luccd to our reading public, cither by republi-
catuin or extracts, form a much richer mine of
ihformatiOn. The new bo'k entitled “Rente

politics and literature. The “Janrmil */.•» Sa

nish Possessions.
ACCOMPANIED BY
A Geographical Description of the Several
Countries represented on the Map.
A NEW EDITION,
With Important. Idditions and Improvements,
BY JOHN MEL1SH.
THE author of the Map being desirous of ma
king it aa extensively useful as possible, has im-
proved it from time to time, so as it might pre
sent a faithful picture of the progressive geo
graphy of this most interesting country.
Since the first edition of the Map was publish
ed, very great change* have taken p'are in the
United-Status. In particular the Illinois terri
tory has been enlarged and converted into a
state. The Mississippi territory lw» been divi
ded and converted into two states; two new ter
ritories, and five land offices, have been formed
beyond the Mississippi river, and several very
important surveys have bceii made between
• .ake Erie and the Mississippi, presenting an
entirely new view of that interesting section of
the country.
The northern boundary between this country
and the British (possession has been formally
agreed upon, as far as the Rocky mountains, and
the British and United States governments have
come to a definite understanding as to the north
west coast.
But tlie most important measure, is the treaty
ceding Florida to the United States, and agree-
mg upon a boundary line between this country
and the Spanish internal province*. This new
line has been exhibited on the Map for soqie
time; but, the treaty not being ratified by Spain,
the old boundary will also be shewn on the Map,
from the outlet of the Rio del Norte on the Gulf
of Mexico, to the outlet of the River St. Frunfcis
on the Pacific ocean. This will present a con
nected view of the territory between the two
lines, and it will probably be of importance
hereafter to show both line* on the Map, whe
ther the treaty he eventually ratified or not.
No other change of anv consequence being
anticipated, that Map wifi now assume a more
permanent form 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 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 of
such works.
The author being of opinion that very impor
tant new relations arc about to take place be
tween tite United-Stale* and other parts of the
world, particularly Mexico, South-America, and
the West-Indies, has improved his Map and De
scription the World, and Map and Descrip
tion of the'United-States *o as to embrace .
view of these relations. The improvements in
the 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 States are as tbllow:
An addition, consisting of an entirely new
view of the whole of.Mexico and Yucatan, to
gether with the island.* of Cuba, Jamaica, St.
Domingo, Porto-Rico, Santa-Cruz, Tortola, and
other West-India islands. The Supplement is
enlarged so as to show at a glance the whole of
the It est-Indies, together with the northern
provinces of South-America, Panama, and the
Isthmus qf Darien. The position of the Statis
tical Table is so altered, as to afford a distinct
view of the Gulf of Mexico, ami the intimate
relation between the countries hordering upon
it and the United States; and the table is en
larged at) as to include a view of all the coun
tries recently added to Uic Map, with a blank
column for thwncjrt census which, when filled
up with a pen, will siiow the progressive geo-
graphy of the country.

By Jhitx Mr. us it.
The author ot this work being desirous of

geography of the world.
The principal alterations and improvements
have occurred in the United States and coun
tries adjacent. The relations between the U.
States and contiguous countries having now as
sumed such a permanent form as to enable the

edition of the Map and Description of the Uni
ted States and contiguous!countries, he is ena
bled at the same time to issue a new and im
proved edition of the Man ol the World.
The value and importance of this work is al
ready well known. It has stood the test of Cri
ticism, and has received tlie approbation of some
of the best Geographers in the country To
comment, therefore, upon the original design
and execution would be superfluous. The au
thor shall only glance at. present at the improve
ments made m this new Edition.

clearly defined according to the late treaties and
boundary lines, and all the new states and ter
ritories are laid down.

Davis’s'Straits is presented, agreeably to the
surveys of Captain Ross.
4th the description has been corrected and
improved so as to correspond with the Map; and
in this new edition an Appendix is added, giv
ing a view of the political and commercial rela
tions of the World, particularly as regards the
United States; an Alphabetical Index is also ud-
ded, which is of great value to the work as a
book of reference; giving it the advantage of u
Gazetteer.
i’he Map and Description, thus improved,
will be a companion to the Map and Descrip-
tiorf of the United States; the two works form
ing a complete Geographical Atlas and Libra
ry for the citizens of this country.
This work will be issued from the pres* as
soon as possible after tlie publication of tlie
late treaty with Spain. In the mean time, sub-

paper at tlie Metropolis; but tlie editor is id
opinion, (and he thinks lie will be borne out in
that opinion by many of the wisest and best mej
in the nation,) that at the present. above any
other tim ‘, an honest and well conducted Jour*
nnl can be made most essentially subservient
the best interestsof the American people. The
public mind has so long been abstracted from
every thing political, that the acts <-f the exe

whole proceedings as tacitly acquiesced in, ifc

sible cnpacity, wop rendered immaculate the mo

or as if, when a public seal was once placed in

That this is a most alarming feature in a Re-
publican form of government, every candid man
must admit. Some .Journals, it is true, have
endeavored to rouse the people from this dun.

many mournful examples on record, of nation^

very limited, and more recently % so muny of the

of the government. The great impregnate

her citizens; that forms the grand tower w hiefc
neither strength nor art can zap .—Too much
confidence invariably begets a de gree of secu

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 oiXt the light of Liberty forever from amOnlj
us. Religion, die great piljar which uphold*
our moralinstitutiohs, must have its importance
continually impressed on our minds, or its di

sacred inheritance, Liukrtt, bequeathed to us
by our fathers, and atchieved with their bfflbd,
the flume of which has hitherto burned
bright on our altars—it Uvea only by constant die*

alive, if the whole mass of public opinion is
suffered to run together, like a heap of molten
lead, into one dull and shapeless mould? The
Editor therefore thinks, that it will not only he

watchman, if it be merely to rattle at the win
dows and cry “Awake, awake, all is not safe.”
The Editor would not have the public inibr
from the foregoing, that he is anxious to revrie
party rancor, and all the feuds, private animosi
ties and jealousies, which have liithcrto been
attached to it—lie conceives that as much to be
deprecated on the one hand, as the total absence
nf political spirit is to lie lamented on the other.
Neither would he have his friends imply, dhat
because he is desirous of encouraging a fun in
vestigation of our national affairs, lie is to un
dertake an unqualified opposition to the measures
of the present administration. His intention is
to canvass them fairly, impartially,xml respect
fully; to applaud that which he conceives to
operate for the welfare of h,s country, and tiiat
which he thinks wrong, unhesitatingly and un
equivocally to condemn. In thus promoting an
examination into the conduct of those who com-
po?e our cabinet, the Editor thinks he would
benefit, rather than injure them, by stimulating
them ii they be careless, exciting them if they

Uictr responsibility, and calling tlie great main,
rtty of the people to be witnesses, arbiters and
impellers of their conduct. While the grand
machine thus moves on its vast orbit, depaft-

Ihe Editor pledges himself, that he will nei
ther waver nor depart from the principles which
he has laid down for his guidance- The end he
wras at is a liberal discussion of public measures
lor the public good—In furthering this desirable
object, connected with his wish to render his
paper generally useful, instructing and amusing,
he solicits the patronage of his fellow -citizeua.
