March 2i. It was agreed in Monday's debate that govern
ment would in the course of two months want one hundred
and thirty thousand tons of transports. Suppose on an ave
rage at two hundred and eighty tons each, this is near five
hundred fail, which is certainly more than can be procured
in that time. This confirms the opinion very generally em
braced among military persons. That the German troops will
not all be in America before the end of August;

pointed Friday next.

DR. YELDALL, whose abilities in the several branches
of his profeffion is well known through most parts of
the United Colonies, is to be consulted, at his Medicinal
Ware-house, three doors above the Bank Meeting-house, in
Front-street, in all cases of Physic and Surgery. The Doctor
has not only qualified himfelf for his profeffion, by attending
the lectures as well as the practice of. several eminent men
in Europe, but has spent more than five years in travelling
through great part of this continent, during which he dili
gently noted and attended to the different disorders each pro
vince is subject to, as also the various means made use of for
obtaining a cure ;. and to this, added to an extent practice,,
is owing under God, the great success that has attended his
undertakings.—The extirpating wens and lumps from any
part of the body, and in some curing the wound in a few
hours ; the cutting that deformity the hare-lip in less than
one minute, and curing it in four days, is scarce credible were
it not attested by so many stubborn fads; but to take away
all doubt, where prejudice has not prevailed over reason, all
operations will be performed; NO CURE NO MONEY.
Those that live in the city may be. waited on at their
houses. Those that live remote may, by fending an account,
of their complaint, have advice and medicines sent.
The Doctor's Family Medicines, and most Patent Medi
cines, together with Bark, Camphire, Rhubarb, &c. may be
had on reasonable terms.. #
TOBE LET, and entered on immediately, an I NN.
with a PLANTATI ON confiding of a fertile traft
of arable,, wood and meadow lands, lituate in the town of
Swedefborough, on the main road leading to Salem, and
known by the name of the Hals-Way-House.
Its healthy, pleasant and central situation from Philadel
phia, on a road so public, its contiguous meadows, excellent
water, and old accustomed business, render it a mod com
modious and profitable Rand. If to these are added its secure
retreat from the river, and consequent exemption from the de
predations of marine parties, it may be considered as a place
equally profitable and fafe, provided a person offers who is
calculated for, and off ability fufficient, to support a repu
table Inn, and no other need apply. For particulart in
quire of THOMAS JAMES on the premises.
WHEREAS Barbara, the wife of the subscriber, hav
ing eloped from her husband, and associated herfelf
with people of loose characters, and by that means has
brought many misfortunes upon him, for which he hath
treated with her desiring her to return home, but she refuting,
this is therefore to forewarn all persons from trusting her on
my account, as I will not pay any debts she may contract.
