inviolate their rights^- so juflly tire they animated
by their apprehensions of fubjedion, that they
would encounter patiently the most terrible diffi
culties rather than submit: Yes, they would
/ Dare the -caff vollies of your thundering ore,
And dye the Atlantic's verge with noble gore)
Ere they would fuffer themselves to be difpoHefTed
of the inestimable blessings they now enjoy, to pur
chase which their forefathers endured the greatest
distress, and lived content in unfrequented woods,
divested of all the comforts and necessaries of life.
Considered morally, my Lord, 'tis a very seri
ous matter to interrupt the peace of thousands;
and the.man who c^n calmly agree to measures
that are deftru^ive to his fellow creatures, must
be a bad member of society, and an open violator
of the laws of chriftianity.
Your Lordfllip, I am told, makes particular
profeffion of faith in this divine do&rine; and I
have heard your constant endeavours to avoid war
attributed to very worthy motives. If this be true,
my Lord, England has only to lament, that the
abilities of your head do not keep pace with the
virtues of your heart ; and America may hope
that your condu^ at this juncture will not be such
as fhali rife up in judgment against you.
His Majesty, from misrepresentation, may be
inclined to think his fubjeds in the colonies obsti
nate and rebellious. 'Tis difficult for a Prince to
know the truth. It is more difficult still to con
fider himfelf (imply as a man, and to unite his own
interest with that of his people; but whenever
they are separated there is danger, and the more
arbitrary the Prince the more miserable the fub
jed, and the less his attachment to his sovereign.
The King ha's riot in Any of his dominions more
affectionate or valuable people than the Americans:
On every proper occasion they have given un
doubted proof of their loyalty, and were actually
very valiant during the last war. As father ofhis
country, and head of the legislative body, they
honour him ; but when he gives his Royal assent
to laws without due consideration, they never fail
to observe and lament ft.
A thorough.knowledge of the constitution of
this country makes a part of their education; and
as they are in general remarkably anxious for the
public good, they never forget it. I hncerely wish,
my Lord, as much might be said, with truth, of
those at home, who have the management of the
most important concerns; but it will, I fear, ever
be matter of lamentation, that great men are so
totally debilitated by dissipation, as to render even
such capacity as Heaven has bestowed, useless.
That your Lordship may never tremble at the tri
bunal of the Most High for the abuse of your's,
and that England and her colonies may never look
back with horror to this period, is the unaffeded
hope of p

TH E many favours the public have been pleased
to bestow upon me since my arrival on this
Continent, fill me with the warmest sense of grati
tude, and for which I return my sincere acknow
ledgements. My endeavours as they have hitherto,
shall also in future be employed in the ufeful pur
poses of adminiftring cures for the many grievous
disorders attending the human frame; the furpri
zing success that, under God, has attended my pub
lic medicines for more than these three years past,
and the great demand that there is for them from
every quarter where they are known, urge me to
endeavour that the public may still be supplied with
them, and finding it impossible to attend in person,
as I have done for this some time past, on account
of the multiplicity of applications, I intend fending
a medicine chest to each of the different towns that
I have attended in, both in this and the neighbour
ing provinces, where such as please may be supplied
with my public medicines, and others, particularly
adapted to the most common disorders incident to
families, with directions fully setting forth their use
and how the patients are to conduct themselves with
regard to diet, exercise, air and medicines. I hope
my omitting here enlarging on my abilities will not
be construed to my disadvantage, as the great num
ber that, under God, I have happily restored to
health, and the difficult operations in chirurgery I
hrve performed with success since my arrival, (peak
more powerfully than any thing that could be here
inserted. I propose to give my advice in all cases
of physic and chirurgery, at my house in Front
ftreet, where those that chufe to apply may depend
on the ftrifteft justice, and be further allured, never
to be encouraged in any disorder but where there
is a probability of success ; if curable, the cure will
be made in as fafe and easy a manner as the rules of
nature and art will admit of ; if not curable, I (hall
let the patient know it, so that he need not be put
to unnecessary trouble or expence, and will further
a Ivife such simples as is most likely to paliate or
ease the complaint. I fhali constantly keep up a
complete assortment of such drugs and medicines as
are required for family use, either in town or coun
try, which will be fold in the fmal!eft quantities,
and on the most reasonable terms; and I hope by
the goodness of the medicines, and the great care
that will be taken in the delivery, to merit custom,
which (hall be always acknowledged by
The public's humble servant,
ANTHONY YELDALL.

WHEREAS a certain JOHN
GASPARD HARTHE, a German,
having goods belonging to the subscriber 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 Lancalter as a pedlar, for which he has
a permiflion from the Governor ; and by letters
dated the 4th and 7th of March at Carlisle, he in
formed his 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 nth intt. 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, short necked, bioad shouldered,
has little hair upon his head, which is of a lightifh
colour and tied in a final! queue ; had on a brown
coatiff fortout coat, buckskin breeches, a blue
plulh waistcoat, a pair of English made boots, but
sometimes wears a pair of pumps with round dia
mond-cut silver buckles, a (mail beaver bat, and a
pair of gloves lined with rabbit skin: He is a saddler
and painter by trade, though he fays he is a baker,
and it is probable he may change his name; he
takes much Rappee (huff, speaks 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 B OURQU OIN T,
a Swiss, born at Neufchattel, a strong built person
of good appearance, ^bout 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 nose,
wears a small sized common hat, a blue cloth coat
and waistcoat, a pair of trowfers, and an ordinary
blue riding coat ; speaks good French a little Ger
man, but no English, and is about 3$ 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 travebon foot.
As the conduct of the said John Gaspard
Harthe gives great reason to fufpe& that his in
tentions are to defraud his employer, it is hoped
that he will not be fuffered to escape. Whoever
will take him up and secure him in any of his Ma.
jelly’s gaols, so that he may be brought to justice,
and will give information thereof to the subscriber,
Jiving at Mr. Peter Paris’s, the corner of Second

deep, two stories high, having two parlours, a pas

to the said dwelling-hpufe, a good brick kitchen

high, and a cellar. Nearly one half of the front of
the lot is yet unimproved, there being only an old
log building that served as a gaol, and which may
be removed at pleasure : There is an exceeding good
garden well inclofed. This lot would suit a distiller,
brewer, or sugar-baker, as ttyere is room Efficient
for building, and a lane may be opened through
the lot from one street to another. What buildings
are on this lot, are faithfully executed ; feme of
the brick walls are 18 inches thick, and none less
than 14 inches to the ridge pole. The purchaser
need lay down but little cafli, if any; good security,
with interest, will fuffice, and one-fourth of the

terest.—As I am determined at all events to leave
this province, and desirous of fettling all my affairs,
any person inclinable to purchase will find me very
reasonable in my demand for this lot.-
