PROPOSALS,
Insurance Company of North America.
For Insurance against Fias, ° D .,P /"jfj
Houses, Ware-Houses, and other BniMmg*
on Goods crtnwned h' such B«il<h»g») diftan. from
Philadelphia, ia the United States.
I. Commui lufurances, on hazards of the firft
class, will be undertaken at » premium of ahout
half per tent, per annum. For extra haear ous
rifqaes a larger prerr.iim will We required, w i .
will vaiy according to cireomftances, feidom ex
ceeding one per cent, per annum ; but in some m
(tances, where the property insured a not on y i
itfclf extra hazardous, but rendered still more
by the vicinity of extra hazardous bo. ding* anc
occupations, the premium demanded will be ratl.d
according to circumftacces.
Howies and Ware Houses, tKe walls and parti
tions of which are wholly of ftonc or jric. , vre
corftruAed, so a«» b» guarded as well *«may be
againlt fires from within, and tree trwffl extra_ ha
zardous building, and occupations in their neigh
borhood, will be deemed hazardous of the flrlt
cUss, and may be insured to their iV i value.
Also Goods' and Merchandize, not o< an extra
bazarJous kind, in cifks. bales, or packagss, de
pofitcd in foch buildings, to an amount not ex
ceeding 400 c dollars ; bat if more than this sum
is required to be insured in one tenemcat, an addi
tienal premium will be required, in proportion to
circumftaases. ,
11. Insurances will also be made on buildings and
goods extra hazardous, at premiums proportioned
to the risque. But it is not easy to arrange these
under particular heads or dalles, so as to describe
each withthe neoeflary accuracy. Each cafe mud
therefore be decided upon according to the circum
tlancesattending it; and these circumftanees will,
in general, appear from the defcriptioii accompa
uy.ng the application, t
Bu Idinjjs partly confVni&ed of brick or stone,
are preferable to thefc wholly wooden. And in
both cases, the stile of building, how they are oc
cupied, how they are situated, the neighboring
buildings, and how occupied, are c«n6derations to
be taken into view. And with refpe3 to goods,
their'tendency, whether from their nature, or
from the manner in which they are txpofed, either
to commence or to incrcafe an accidental fire, and
their liability in fucb state to receive damage by
wet, or by sudden aid hafly removal, or to be sto
len in time of confufion and hurry, are all cir
cumstance* of weight; and the premiums must be
proportioned accordingly.
-111. The followi%r conditions are to be under
flood by the parties .
lit. The Insurance is not binding till the fiipn
lated premium be paid ; but it (hall be deemed ef
fectual from the time of futh payment and accep
tance thereof, whether the policy be immediately
signed or not.
«d. Infurafices may be renewed at the expira
tion of the terra of the policy, without further ex
penfe< than the payment of the premium of the re
newed terra, the circumftancescontinuing the fame
as they were understood by the Insurers at the time
the former insurance was mad* ; but the payment
of the premium it efTential to such renewal; and
if the party insured fuffers any time to elapse after
the expiration of the former insurance, before he
pays a premium for the renewal, he is not insured
during such time ; nor can the insurance be renew
ed on the former polity but by computing the
commencement of the renewal from the expiration
of the former mfurance. The fubjeA of insur
ance may nevertheless be open to treaty for a new
insurance.
3d. Tf any other infuraace be made on the fame
property ; it mud be made known at the Unit of
application, otherwise the policy made on such ap
plication will be void.
4th Goods held in trust, or on consignment,
may be insured as such in a separate policy ; but
they are not to be considered as insured otherwise.
5 th. This company will not be liable or accoun
table for k any loss or damage occasioned by anyfor
elgn invasion, or by any military or ularped force,
or by reason of any civil commotion ; or occasion
ed by gunpowder, aquafortis or other thing of the
like kind kept in the building, or imongft the pro
perty insured.
Bth. Bills of Exchange, Bonds and other Soro
rities, Title Deeds, Money, Bank and other pro
miflory Notes, are not included in any insurance ;
nor are paintings, nedali, jewels, gems, antique
curiosities, or mirrors exceeding the valae of twen
ty-five dollars each, to be conGdered as hfured un
less particularly mentioned and by special agree
ment.
7th. No insurance will be made for a shorter
term than one year, nor for a longer term than fe
vea years. Persons choofirg to infm-e for seven
years (ball be allowed one year's premium Uy way
of difeount: One third of a years premium shall
be abated in like manner on an infuraace for
three years.
Bth. tLofles fyflained by fire on property insured,
shall be paid in thirty days after due prouf and li
quidation thereof, without deduction.
A defciiption of the property to be in fa rod will
be rxpeded with each application, to be made by
a mailer carpenter and signed by him, as well as
hy the owner of the building 01 applicant for in
surance, aad attefled before a Notary or principal
Magistrate, who will certify hie knowleage of the
parties and their credibility.

ft feet or road on or near which the building
stands ; its contigtrity to water, and other cir

AT a juncture when the question of
a Ctmmereitl Treaty weitt France may soon
become a« object of discussion, a workof this kind
becomes extremely ufefuf to those eitirens of the
United States, who may be defiroßS to enable them
selves to view this fubjeft, under its various af
peiSs; and they will have the faiisfa&ion to be
furnifhed with the necessary dat 3, to judge of the
uiefulnefsef this tranfa&iou.
This work is principally diftißguifhed by the
richneft of the observations, the pcrfpieuity of the
iftas, and the modesty of the theory which it
contains. \t Pars, ■ man of *-it observed, that
rhis work was like a rich farmer's barn, heaped up
to die very roof with ufeful produce. It is addref ■
fed to the nnfortuaate La Fat»tta, ia letters,
which fugitive fem, the author who could only
devote a few weeks to thje occupation . was
to adopt. Although eireumftancss are 111 many
refpedts different at the prrfcn: day, from what
shey were in the year 1790, when these letters
were written, yet it maybe justly said, that so ma
ny abfelute and permanent data still remain, that
the judicious reader will not appreciate the work
lesson that account ; on the contrary, as many of
the alterations, which have been made, are the re
sult of the author's remarks, it will serve to con
vince him that in all tranfadiotis, between free
nations, every thing may be expefled from the ef
forts of truth and juflice.

LETTER ill.
EfTayin the form of a tuilttu, to aporaife the im
poitations into the United Slates from France and tng
iatii in ted. The author examines at each article,
whether it can be better furnifbed fiom France or
England—lt is principally on this fubjeft (which
would havealtoaifheda mere thtonft) that the author
appears to evince great commercial experience. These
kinJ of taMenux, uuluckily as difficult to obtain as
they are much to be defned, are the ooly sure guides
the fiatefmen can take for th policy of treaties, de
prived of wl.ich he is continually deceiving or decei
ved. We c-innoltoo much admire the apparent ex
aftnefs of colonel Swan's calculations ; and although
the prophesies of Lord Sheffield have already been
com radiated by experience, and by feverai able pens,
yet it is curious to fee the author of ihe present work,
dispute with him the only groui.d or, which he has
not been hitherto attacked, by proving that France,
under the required condition, will be better able
than Gteat Bntasn to supply us with fcveral articles,
which the Englilb authoi al.ots exclusively and foicv.
ertothe latter; the author's patiJity efeS en (if he
has anv) does not appear to have at any 11 me created
1 partiality cf ]*dg,mt. The refuit ot this calculation
is that in i;Bg, that is to lay, at a period when arts
and manufd&.itss did to: prefect in France the vast
means and piohaU'i.y of extension wlich tbey now
po&fs. that t»en in 1789, it was prelumabie, that
France would not only have the means to supply one
half of any given qaantiiy pf,the produfiious of Franee
and 1 ng/and united, but alio to enter into competition
with Gieat Bfiiain for the remainder, in proportion
to the wildom of ber government, and the industry
of her inhabitants-

advantages which weald refuit to France from the

General examination ot the defcfis of the commer
cial policy of France with rtfpeft to the Umttd States;
many of these observations have ptodncefl the Hfcft*
for which they were intended, othets still remain,
pointing out the reforms to be made in future, at >
good chart marks the ttioals and rocks. The author
concludes his .work, by fixing his attention an hit
country, and the great men who have rerdercd it i|.
luftrtous: and we take a pleasure in quoting what he
fcyj of the present chief of our government. T«
praise a man when he etercifes a dittinguifhed eo«-

but whilst be is in private life, k is tbe homage of
