government :—We think it our duty, as the Re
presentatives of a free and happy people, to pay
this tribute of applause and acknowledgement to a
Governor who has so eminently distinguished him
felfby his constant attention to their welfare and

We look forward to your Excellency's approach

His Excellency's ANSWER.
Gentlemen,
I THANK you for this truly loyal and affec
tionate address, but have not words fully to
express my sense of the honour conferred on me by
this distinguishing testimony of your approbation
of my conduA during my administration, nor can
I fufficicntly thank you for the friendly terms in
which you have been pleased to communicate your
own affection and regard towards me, and the assu
rances of a corresponding disposition in the inha
bitants of this province.—ln full confidence and
ample experience of your loyalty and affe&ion to
the best of Kings, I shall with the most pleasing
fatisfadion represent both you, and-them, as
warmly and zealously attached to his Majesty's
person and government.
My grateful acknowledgments are likewise due
to you for your consideration of my losses by the
late fire. A compensation that I esteem, as being
both very honourable and liberal.
Though I cannot take my departure from this
colony without emotions of real concern, yet I
flatter myfelf there-establishment of my much
impaired Rate of health, and his Majesty's most
gracious indulgence to my wishes, will allow me
soon to return to a country I view with affedion,
and whose interest I have so much at heart that it
cannot fail of being made during my absence, the
object of my peculiar attention.
Under the impressions of a real and generous
attachment to the interest of this province, and a
just sense of the warm desires and Ready pursuits
you have teftified in support of the honour of his
Majesty's government, the prosperity of his people,
and the success of my administration, it is with
pain, gentlemen, I now take my leave of you ; and
while I thank you for your good wishes fora plea
sant voyage to myfelf and family, gratitude prompts
a return of my ardent hopes that the inhabitants of
this happy land may uninterruptedly enjoy every
possible felicity.

Secret of recovering the writing upon Parchment'

DI P the parchment obliterated by time in a
vessel of cold water, frefh drawn from the
well, in about a minute take it out, and press it
between two papers to prevent its crumpling up
in drying, as soon as it is moderately dry, if it be
not then legible, repeat the operation two or three
times. The skin will then resume its pristine co
lour, and will appear all alike.

The Address of AMERICA's GENIUS,
to the PEOPLE in the American World.
“ Rouse up your powers, and exalt your mind."
AMERICA blossoms as the expanding rose,
and rises like the towering cedar ; every
morning fun views her encreafed fame, and each
new day extends her domain and adds new glories
to her crown.—Here the streams of wealth, the
beams of science, the stars of wisdom, the light of
virtue, and the fun of liberty, will all unite their
rays, and form the sublime circle of human splen
dor and felicity 1
Americans! Look eastward and westward,
northward and southward—the stores of nature,
and the blessings of the universe, are ready to pour
into your happy land The friendly ocean flows
round you, and your countless ports are open to
the four winds of Heaven.—The inspiring voice
of LiBERTY echoes from province to province,
and her animating spirit kindles from the city to
the country, and slashes like lightning through
the distant regions of your vast continent. The
time is coming, when the knee of empires and
splendid kingdoms will bow to your greatness and
supplicate favour of your liberal and peerless Ma
jesty Go on my Sons, in the ways of vir
tue and religion, and you shall be the glory and
the aftoniihment of the whole earth. The
name of American, will carry honour and Ma
jesty in the found—and men will esteem it a bles
sing so wear the venerable and commanding stile.
Harvard, with her sister Seminaries, will
bloom with bright laurels of literature, and their
fhihing Sons write something new on each hour
as it flies— And brighten every page of revolving
time with the Patriot's glorious deeds ! The
wings of fame will bear their immortal names
round the globe—kindle the fpirit-of freedom from
pole to pole, and rouse up a world of slaves!
Hark ! ye Immortals! who inhabit other worlds,
stand still, and with new kindled rapture, hear
the glory of America.
6 Fame claps her wings and founds it to the flies.'

WHEREAS a certain JOHN
GASPARD HARTH E, a German,
having goods belonging to the fubferiber to difpole
of, went from the city of Philadelphia the sixth day
of January last, in order to travel in and about the
county of Lancaster as a pedlar, for which he has
a periniffion from the Governor ; and by letters
cated t!ie 4th and 7th of March at Carlifle, he in
formed bis employer that he intended to proceed
to Fort-Pitt, but it since appears that instead of
that rout he went by the Head of Elk to Charleftown
in Maryland, across Sufquehannah to Bush Town,
where he was the 11th inlt. and took the road to
Virginia, and as it is supposed intends for Carolina.
The laid John Gaspard Harth is a short fat
man, about 5 feet 2 inches high, round visage, blue
eyes, red beard, ihort necked, bioad shouldered,
has little hair upon his head, which is of a lightifli
colour and tied in a final! queue ; had on a brown
coating furtout coat, buckskin breeches, a blue
plush wailtcoat, a pair of'Englifh made boots, but
lometimes wears a pair of pumps with round dia
mond-cut silver buckles, a small beaver hat, and a
pair of gloves lined with rabbit skin : He is a faddier
and painter by trade, though he fays he is a baker,
and it is probable he may change his name; he
takes mucl ißappee fnuft, freaks good German,
pretty good French, but very little English, and has
the appearance of an honest man. There is in com
pany with him a man named BOURQUOIN T,
a Swiss, born at Neufchattel, a strong built person
°f good appearance, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches
high, long visage, grey eyes, thin black hair cut
short, has a big mouth and a pretty large open note,
wears a small sized common hat, a blue cloth coat
and Wuldcoat, a pair of trowfers, and an ordinary
blue riding coat ; speaks good French a little Ger
man, but no English, and is about 35 years of age:
They have with them a box bound with iron,
which is carried sometimes by one and sometimes
by the other, as they travel on foot.
As the condud of the said John Gaspard
Harthe gives great reason to fufpe& that his in
tentions are o defr iud his employer, it is hoped
that he will not be fuffered to elcape. Whoever
will take him up and secure him in any of his Ma
jesty's gaols, so that he may be brought to justice,
and will give information thereof to the fubferiber,
living at Mr. Pet^r Paris's, the corner of Second
and Race streets, Philadelphia, shall receive a Re
ward of FIVE POUNDS, Pennsylvania cur
rency, from CHARLES BERGEE.
Philadelphia, March 7, 1774.
WHEREAS, on or about the 18th day of
December last, a letter, written by the
fubferiber to a gentleman in New-York, was deli
vered on board the Borden town ffage, belonging™
to Joseph Borden, Esq ; ffage master: And whereas
also two other letters, one for the fame gentleman
in New-York, and the other for a gentleman in
New Brunswick, in the province of New-Jersey,
written by the fubferiber, and bearing date the sth
day January last, were delivered at the house of the
said Joseph Borden, in Borden-town, on the even
ing of the fame day : Whereas also the letter of the
18th day of December hath not yet been received
by the gentleman to whom directed, and the other
two, dated the sth day of January, have ban
broke open by some unprincipled person or per
sons, to answer winked and malevolent purposes ;
and one of the said letters of the fifth day of Janul
ar y pocketed by the infamous villain who broke it
open, and a copy of it sent to the gentleman in
New- York : And whereas a practice of so bale a
kind mus ibe attended with dangerous consequences
to people in general, and to merchants in particu
lar, the fubferiber thought it a duty he owed to the
public, as well as to himfelf, to public this adver
tisement, and recommend it to all stage-masters
and others, who are intruded with the charge of
conveying letters, to execute their trurt with fidelity.
