Nelson to accept them, which he did, but observed to Captain Carver that he must have some motive for his kindness, and desired to know what it was ? Carver, with doubt and hesita tion, said he had. What is it? was replied; he answered, that he could scarcely expect it, but it was to return him his schooner again, it was his all. Nelson immediately wrote the following certificate, and gave it him : “ These- are to certify, that I took the schooner Harmony, Nathaniel Car ver, master, belonging to Plymouth; but on account of his good services, have given up his vessel again.

ALSO, The much admired work, entitled , SIDNEY ON GOVERNMENT. Gentlemen who have never read this celebrated performance may form some idea of its intrinsic worth and im portance to our country, by perusing the following extract of a letter (to the editor,) from his Excellency thePresi , dent of the United States. Washington, Dec. 13, 1804. Sir, YOU ask my opinion on the sub ject of publishing the works of Alger , non Sidney. The world has so long and so generally sounded the praises of his “ discourses on government,” that it seems superfluous, and even pre sumptuous, for an individual to add his feeble breath to the gale. They art in truth a rich treasure of republican prin ciples, supported by copious and co gent arguments, and adorned with the finest flowers of science: It is probably the best elementary book of the principles of government , as founded in natural right, that has ever been published in any language.... Arid, it is much to be desired in such a government as ours, that it should be put into the hands of our youth, as soon as their minds are sufficiently matured for that branch of study. Should you proceed to the pub lication, be so good as to consider me a subscriber; and accept my saluta tions and assurances of great esteem and respect. TH: JEFFERSON. The Revd. Mr. Weems. October 4. 11 Book Binding. o THE Subscriber informs his friends and the pubiic, that he has re moved from the herald Printing-Of fice to the Office of the Columbian centinel, where orders in the line of his business will be thankfully received vnd duly attended to.
