Cj?" Complaints having been made that
the Southern fuhfcribers for this Gazette
do not receive it, till the intelligence has
been anticipated by papers previoufiy re
ceived by otheT persons j they are inform

in this- city require that Printers should
depefit their papers there, the day prece
ding the departure of the mail ;■ newf
p'jpers being, on account of their bulk,
sent by the ltages, which let off several
hours before the mail is closed, occasions
this arrangement, for the winter.
Persons at a dillance who wilh to re
ceive this Gazette, are informed that the
terms of fubfeription cannot be dispensed
with.—One half of the fubfeription mo
ney, for the half-weekly paper lately print
ed and circulated by the Editor to all parts
of the Union, is yet due, either from the
fubferibers, or colkxStors—and as tbe pub
lication of a daily paper is attended with a
heavy expense—however folic;tous the
Printer may be to difTcrr.iaate intelligence,
It will appear, that perfilting in his former
plan of lending ltis Gazette to every ptf
fon who writes tor it, without securing
the fubferiptions will prove ruinous in the
extreme.
