    first lifted its banners against the Cross . Jurists may debate the question , how far the proceeding of the allied squadrons was conformable to the law of nations ; a law which all acknowledge in terms , and violate in fact , whenever tjie violation appears expedient : but we believe that the feeling , if not the judgmeut , of

    A new department has been commenced in the present number , under the head of Occasional Correspondence . It in iritended for communications of the shorter kind , containing Inquiries , Answers to Inquiries , &c , which could not be so conveniently inserted iu the first department ; and its place has been ho arranged as to admit such papers later in the month than could be done in that first portion of the number .

    A part of the present number has also been assigned to the subject of Politics , which it is intended to continue monthly . The respectable Correspondent who has communicated a paper on Cuvier ' s Biographical Memoir of pr . Priestley , recently inserted in the Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal , is informed that that " Historical Eulogy" was inserted entire in the first Volume of the former Series of the Monthly Repository , ( 1806 , ) pp , 216—219 , @ 28 ~* 334 , The Conductors of the present Series would not think themselves justified in renewing this subject after an interval of more than twenty . years .
