editor's permanent abode, which nothing

shall be able to change but a removal of the seat of Government; a circumstance which the editor hopes to believe will never take place.

As the principle support of a newspaper at this place is derived subscription, the editor trusts that the friends who have heretofore promoted his establishment will spare no diligence, when opportunity effects, to extend the circulation of the Monitor: An extensive circulation alone can give to him the means necessary for the correct management of the press. The editor can assure his subscribers that the Monitor shall be enlarged to a

size as great as that of the National Intelligencer, if not larger, by the meeting of congress in November next; and that the proceedings of that body, together with all public vouchers and documents will be most faithfully and at an early day laid before the nation. In this particular the editor has no doubt of giving the most complete satisfaction to men of all politics. Washington City, September 20th, 1808.
