The mayor of Bristol not having fixed the assize of bread, the different bakers made loaves of a proportionate weight of flour, to be sold at one shilling, at six-pence, &c. This mode was judged to be preferable to the old system, as competition among the bakers would thus be promoted, for the public benefit. French prisoners, to the number of 300 each day, marched from Stapleton, on their route for Portsmouth to be embarked. The majority of them were unwilling to admit of any drawback from the fame of Bonaparte; but they unanimously concurred in expressing their gratitude for the treatment they had received from the people of England. The first annual meeting of the Bath Sunday-school Union was held on the 7th ult. in New King-street chapel. By the report read, it appeared that eighteen new schools had been lately established, in which 1500 poor children were instructed. The Sunday-schools belonging to the dissenters and methodists in Bath, now forming a part of the Union, are attended by 1000 children. Particular thanks were given to Dr. Pole for his address on teaching adults to read. The inhabitants of Frome have petitioned Parliament against the bill for the better relief and settlement of the poor." They object particularly to that clause which confers a settlement on a person residing a certain number of years in a parish without receiving relief. The poor rates of Frome were last year 6,000!.; and, from the number of its manufacturers, it is conceived that 700 additional families will become chargeable, should the bill pass into a law.

We have deferred our usual series of Engravings on Wood, to make room for the discovery of Mr. Want, which cannot fail to prove highly interesting to the world, as the means of relieving so much painful disease. Several readers ask for additional particulars from our Hitchin friend. We are glad to hear from our Berlin Correspondent, that the Monthly Magazine is in such high request among the German Literati; and must refer him, and all our Continental friends, for a regular supply, to their respective Post-masters, to whom this Magazine is forwarded at Two Guineas per Annum, by the General PostOffice, London. At Hamburgh we have appointed Messrs. PERTIES and BESSER our Agents, as well for the sale as for the receipt of Communications, which they will forward once a Quarter. The Letters which have poured in upon us on the renewal of foreign intercourse, prove that this Miscellany is likely to become the focus of correspondence, not less among the Continental Literati than among those of the British Islands. The advantages arising to a Literary Journal from being generally read in the four quarters of the world, must be evident in the contents of its pages, while the circumstance augurs auspiciously in regard to the final ascen dancy of those just principles of ethics and public policy, of which, in the worst of times, we have been the unshaken, though temperate, advocates. Mr. LoFFT on the Small-Por Bill, Dr. Reader's Experiments, Mr. Hopkins on Prices, the Walk to Kew, many other Prose Papers, and some accepted Poems, are unavoidably delayed by such a pressure of Communications as we never before experienced. SUPPLEMENTARY NUMBER TO THE THIRTY-SEVENTH VOLUME OF THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE. UNITED STATES, IN THE YEARS 1804, 1805, AND 1806. By CAPTS. LEWIS and CLARKE. Published from the Gfficial Report. And Illustrated by a Map of the Route, and other Maps. 4to. Price 21. 12s. 6d. [If we are curious to know the actual state of every part of the world in the ages which preceded the introduction of the useful arts, we have only to direct our inquiries to the native tribes which scantily people the vast continent of America. Here we view human nature little raised above the other inhabitants of the woods, suffering under severe privations for want of economical arrangements and systematic industry; and indulging, without the gloss of sophistry, in those passions of revenge, ra pine, and mutual bloodshed, which conti nue unsubdued in the courts of the most polished nations. It is a study as much calculated to convey a useful lesson to the pride of man as the occupation of a grave-digger, or the profession of a surgeon; and we commend it to all those who are puffed up with the pride of an cestry, or with the importance of office, as a means of correcting their delusions. On the other hand, the dismal condition of such people is a practical commentary on the blessings of civilization, and the contemplation of it ought to reconcile us to every state of society, in which, without unnecessarily sacrificing our personal liberties to the improper assumptions of others, we are enabled to partake in abundance the necessaries of life.

It does not consist of a collection of frivolous anecdotes about weak princes, wicked ministers, or intriguing courtiers, but it contains real portraits of genuine human nature, teaching us duly to estimate the value of every degree of civilization, and enabling us to feel all those points in which, in spite of education, we are still but savages.] PREFACE BY THE ENGLISH EDITOR. INCE the annexation of Louisiana S' to the United States of America, in the year 1803, the government of the latter country has turned its attention on several successive occasions to obtain an accurate knowledge of the new territory, with a view to ultimate and the judicious measures it has purobjects of colonization and commerce: sued, besides answering the purposes to which they were more immediately directed, have resulted in geographical discoveries of great importance, of Lieut. Pike, a young officer of bold In 1805 a party under the command and enterprising spirit, was ordered to explore the Upper Mississippi, by ascending along the whole of its channel from its confluence with the Mis souri to its source. This expedition sailed from St. Louis on the 9th of August, 1805, and returned to the same place on the 30th of April, 1806, after successfully accomplishing the design of its appointment. In the course of the same year, Lieut. Pike was chosen to the command of another expedition-destined to explore the interior districts of Louisiana, lying to the southward of the Missouri. He was instructed to ascend the Great Osage River to its source; then to pro ceed towards the Arkansaw; here he was to detach a party, under the command of Lieut. Wilkinson, to descend this river as far as the Mississippi; while himself, with the rest of his After men, ascended to its source. Visiting its head waters he was directed to seek the source of the Red River, and to follow that stream to Natchi toches. The former part of this plan he executed agreeably to his orders; 4 F but |
