DEATH OF TIPPOO SULTAN, &c
From the Bombay courier, received at the office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
BOMBAY, June 22.
Notwithstanding much has been said and written on the subject of the late hostilities in Mysore, yet as the most minute occurrences connected with, and tending to, their happy and glorious termination, acquire importance from the ever-memorable result of that short but severe contest, the following particulars seem, on this ground, to have a claim to our notice.
The information before us is from an officer of the Bombay army, dated "Camp near Sudafer, 17th May, 1799;" and relates chiefly to their proceedings; begins by stating their march from that place on the 10th April in company with the detachment from the Grand Army under General Floyd, and their junction with the main body on the 14th ditto. It seems that the Bombay army, on their arrival before Seringapatam, had one day's rest, and on the next crossed the Cavery, encamping to the North of it within 2000 yards of the Fort. On the 17th Colonel Hart with the 75th regiment Major Disney's Corps, and the flank companies of Major Lawrence's with four guns under Captain Torriano and Lieutenant George Warden, Lieutenant Macready accompanying them as a volunteer, advanced and took a strong position about 900 yards from the Fort, the enemy, contrary to their expectation, flying on the appearance of this body, which was thought to be chiefly occasioned by their attention being occupied by a movement of the grand army who advanced at the same time and intrenched themselves on the other side of the Fort at nearly the same distance. That night the enemy were quiet, and Lieutenant Warden was ordered with a gun to the covering party which it appears consisted of the 74th regiment and Colonel Marshall's Corps under the command of Col. Campbell. It seems they were not, as may be supposed, thoroughly aware of the exposed parts of Colonel Hart's posts, and the enemy in the Fort on the morning of the 18th opened their guns on it, accompanied with a heavy fire of musketry from the ruins of a village. Captain Torriano, in his zeal to dislodge the enemy from this village, advanced his gun from under cover, and was struck by a cannon shot on the shoulder which killed him on the spot and wounded four or five others; those who were wounded also died soon afterwards. Lieut. Macready exposing himself to take an account of the ammunition soon after shared the same fate having his head carried off by a shot from the gun. Colonel Hart's post being then left without an artillery officer, Lieutenant Warden was recalled to take charge there about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, where their situation was so hot that not a man was permitted to stand up; a battery had been lined out here the preceding evening, but owing to the peculiarity of the construction of it, the troops remained in this posture another day, they were relieved however on the following night. The battery, which mounted six guns, was opened on the 20th, and bore, at least part of them, on a powder mill where the enemy had a strong post, but still much exposed to the guns of the fort which dismounted some of ours and killed several of the artillery men. On the 24th the grand army formed the mill, and the six gun battery being no longer necessary another was lined out to enfilade the enemy's works, and assist two batteries on the other side which were intended to open at the same time. On that night his majesty's 74th regiment, with a gun, were ordered to make a feint to divert the attention of the enemy while the engineers were reconnoitring; the gun was placed on a hill so as to cover the regiment of which the flank companies first advanced, but were obliged to fall back in some confusion under a severe fire from the enemy's musketry, which was at length silenced by the fire of grape shot from the gun, when Colonel Campbell again advanced with the whole regiment, and the engineers effected their purpose; the 74th and the party of artillery which were with them then withdrew with a considerable loss of men, the former being relieved by the 75th, and the latter by a fresh party of their own men. On the night of the 25th the enemy made an attack on the trenches and covering party of the Bombay army (as has been formerly noticed) but were driven back with very considerable loss on both sides; indeed our Bombay friends seem to have sustained their full share of the hardships and dangers of the siege all through.
On the 29th a post was taken by the grand army where the breaching battery was to be erected, while an incessant roar of artillery was kept up from the enfilading battery of the Bombay army and the two on the other side, the enemy running in all directions as our troops advanced, and Tippoo from the fort firing on his own people; the 74th regiment advanced on this occasion to the very gates of the fort and bayoneted several Frenchmen in their tents on the glacis; the next morning the enemy made a desperate sally on the posts the grand army had taken possession of, which was soon repulsed but not without having several officers wounded and near 200 Europeans killed and wounded.
The opening of the breaching batteries on the 28th and 30th, the report on the 3d of May of the breach being practicable, and the brilliant event of the 4th, have been already fully and officially detailed, so that we have only to subjoin a few remarks which perhaps
were deemed incompatible with the dignity of an official account, but serve to fill the measure of the public curiosity which has been so much excited on an occasion hitherto without precedent, and will probably remain forever without its parallel.
General Baird when all the troops were got into the fort, and the fate of the day was decided, went to the palace, and demanded that the gates should be opened; those within however made some hesitation, and the general finding that fair means were unavailing, ordered a field piece to be drawn up and threatened to burst the gates open; this had the desired effect, and the adjutant general, Colonel Close, entered the palace where he found two of the princes (as formerly noticed). They appeared haughty and sullen in their demeanour, and refused to stir out of the palace, until one of the attendants came up, and recalling them to a more proper sense of their situation, they surrendered themselves to General Baird. The general after the ceremonial of such an interview enquired of them what had become of a party of Europeans of the 33d regiment, who had lost their way to the camp one night during the siege, and had fallen into the hands of Tippoo's people, when he had the mortification to hear that these unfortunate men had all been put to death. The general's next enquiry was after the Sultan's person, whom the princes positively denied knowing any thing of, which with the avowal of the death of the abovementioned party, so irritated the general that he informed the princes that unless the Sultan was delivered up, he would order the grenadiers to enter the palace and bring him out by force; adding that in such a case he would not be answerable for the women being free from insult: when this was explained to the princes, an old man came forward and informed the general he would shew him Tippoo's body, which was found, as before related, under many other slain; our recent information says, near a sally port where he fell endeavouring to make his escape; the princes were then carried to General Harris' tents. Tippoo's eldest son delivered himself up on the 6th, and Gummer Odeen Khan on the 10th May; Futtay Hyder, Tippoo's natural son and favorite, was, as this correspondent informs us, expected to deliver himself up on the 13th, the day the Bombay army left Seringapatam.
Another letter from Seringapatam dated 12th May, mentions that Purnea, whom General Harris, in his letter of the 7th May, mentions to have been summoned at the same time with Gummer Odeen, surrendered himself at the Derrah Dowlat Baug on that day; adding, in confirmation of our other intelligence, that Futtay Hyder was to come in on the day following; it was rumoured that great changes were to take place in some of the most important military commands in this country, and that the 19th dragons were to return to Europe.
A letter from Seringapatam dated 26th May, mentions that of the jewels not above 6 or 7 packs of pagodas worth had been then valued; and as to the merchandise, viz, muslins, shawls, and various rich cloths, they were reckoned at the enormous amount of 500 camel's load. The Sultan's throne being too unwieldy to carry had been broken up; it was a howdah upon a tyger covered with sheet gold; the ascent to it was by silver steps, gilt, having silver nails and all the other fastenings of the same metal. The canopy was alike superb and decorated with a costly fringe of fine pearls all round it. The eyes and teeth of the tyger were of glass. It was valued at 60,000 pagodas. It was said that a dividend to the value of about a million sterling would soon be made; part of it to the amount of 17 lacks of pagodas in cash, the rest in jewels; a committee had been appointed for the arrangement of it.
Other advices from Seringapatam dated the 27th May mention that in breaking up the throne, which its bulk and weight rendered necessary, the sheet of gold with which it was covered was found to weigh 40,000; pagodas; the silver work about it, the supporters of the canopy and the fringe of pearls which went round it, were valued at 10,000 pagodas more. Every inch of the howdah contained an Arabic sentence, chiefly from the koran, superbly stamped, being raised and polished in the most beautiful manner. A gold figure of a bird, covered over with the most precious stones, was screwed to the roof of the canopy; its beak is a large emerald; its eyes carbuncles; its breast covered with diamonds, and the wings, which are expanded as if hovering, completely lined with diamonds; on the back are many large jewels well and fancifully disposed; the tail which resembles a peacock's is also studded in the same manner; the whole so arranged as to imitate the plumage, and so closely set that the gold is scarce visible.
A number of tygers were found in the palace yard which were ordered to be shot for fear of accidents.
Information having been given that a quantity of jewels were concealed in the seraglio, application was made to Colonel Wellesley, the commandant, for permission to search; which being granted, and the proper notice given to remove the women from the apartments which it was the intention to search, the gentlemen deputed on this occasion proceeded to inspect them; but were disappointed in every respect; for they did not find any thing of value, and instead of elegant habitations which they imagined, found places as filthy as the lowest and dirtiest dwelling in the bazar, the furniture consisting of a chair, a swing, two or three boxes of clothes, a miserable bed, and a shelf of perfumes, spices, &c. it was discovered afterwards that Tippoo never entrusted his women with the keeping of their jewels; there were in all, including some of the wives and ladies of the late Hyder, and those of Tip-
po's family with their attendants six hundred and fifty females in the palace.
Advices from China of the 3th March mention the death of the emperor Kien Long; in consequence of which a general interregnum throughout the empire had been ordered for twelve months. The royal authority devolves to his son Ka-Hing who has reigned nominally for upwards of two years past. The Chinese are consequently all in white, and remain, we believe, with unshaven heads and beards, for six months out of the twelve.
June 29.—Since our last courier we have been favoured with the following additional particulars from Mysore.
The number of men actually under arms at the assault of Seringapatam was 2493 Europeans and 1883 Natives—4376.
The capture of the ramparts was General Baird's first object. Colonel Dunlop, with 6 companies of Bombay European Infantry supported by his Majesty's 12th and 33d regiments, 10 companies of Bengal Sepoy Infantry and 50 artillery men was ordered to assault the north ramparts, and pushed on with the European flank companies until he met the south attack under Colonel Sherbrooke, consisting of the flank companies of the Scotch brigade and regiment of Mouton, reinforced by the Grenadier companies of his Majesty's 73d and 74th regiments (in the expectation of a vigorous resistance at the several heavy batteries on the South face of the Fort) and supported by his Majesty's 73d and 74th regiments, 8 companies of coast natives and 6 companies of Bombay Infantry with 50 artillery men. The two attacks having met, were ordered to form on the East face until arrangements could be made for the attack of such of the cavaliers as had not already been seized; or for proceeding to the attack of the body of the place, as might be deemed eligible.
Colonels Sherbrooke and Dunlop were instructed not to quit the inner ramparts previous to their junction for any other object but that of seizing on the cavaliers in the neighbourhood of their respective attacks, and then to lose no time in regaining their situation on the ramparts. As soon as that object should be attained and every cavalier or spot on the ramparts seized which it might be necessary to secure, they were immediately to be occupied by a battalion company or companies from the supporting European regiment, so that the whole of the ground once captured might be secure and the flankers on their junction to be in full force to follow up their success by a attack on any of the cavaliers which had not fallen in their way, or by an assault on the body of the town and the palace of the Sultan.
It is already known that the different assaults were so vigorous that in two hours the whole of the ramparts and every cavalier in the fort were in the possession of our troops. The place being thus completely ours, the general, to avoid a fresh and unnecessary slaughter in the attack of the palace, as well as to allow some rest to the gallant but almost exhausted flankers, determined to halt a short time, before he proceeded to attack the palace, judging that if Tippoo was in it, it would be as gallantly defended as attacked. During this halt two fresh battalions of Sepoys arrived, and trusting that the Sultan would see the futility of all further resistance would be, the general dispatched major Allen, who had just arrived from Camp, with a flag of truce to the palace, offering Cowl to Tippoo Sultan and every person in it, on his immediate and unconditional surrender of himself to General Baird; major Allen was at the same time instructed to apprise him that if there was the smallest hesitation in accepting this offer, an immediate assault on the palace would be made and every man in it put to the sword. The grenadiers and part of the 12th regiment under major Cragie with the 2d battalion of the 9th Madras regiment of Sepoys accompanied major Allen to put this threat in execution if necessary, and the flankers, then a little recovered from their fatigue prepared to follow to the attack of the palace on the first signal of hostilities having recommenced (the firing on all sides having by this time ceased upwards of an hour).
In the meantime Gen. Baird received intelligence from one of the prisoners, on being questioned as to the place of confinement of the European soldiers who had been taken in the different assaults on the out-works during the siege, that they had all been put to a violent death a few days before. On this the general immediately advanced towards the palace with the flankers of the 74th regiment, the light infantry and remaining part of the 12th regiment, with a view, it was thought, if Cowl had not already been granted at the palace, and if the dreadful accounts of the death of the unfortunate men had been confirmed, to take signal vengeance on the tyrant, for this act of premeditated tyranny.
On reaching the palace major Allen came out and met the general, informing him that Tippoo's two youngest sons were in it who were ignorant where their father was, but were disposed to surrender themselves and the palace on a promise of protection. The general, anxious to discover Tippoo who was certainly reported to be in the palace, hesitated to agree to these conditions, unless the princes would inform him where their father was, and threatened to search affidaviously the most secret recesses of the palace if he was not instantly produced—but they persisting in their ignorance, and the general unwilling to lose time as night was approaching, sent them off to General Harris under charge of lieutenant colonel Agnew, capt. Marriott and another officer escorted by the light infantry company of his Majesty's 33d regiment, after assuring them of protection and kind treatment.
The palace was then taken possession of without opposition, and a search was made for Tippoo in vain, every where excepting Sor Zenanah, which was surrounded by troops to prevent his escape if he was in it. One of the attendants in the palace, at last, on being severely threatened, told the general that the Sultan was killed in attempting to escape through the Northern Sally Port, and accordingly conducted them to the spot, where the Sultan's body was found under a heap of hundred slain as before stated. Night coming on the general then proceeded to give every possible protection to the inhabitants, and it did not appear that there was any insult or injury offered to any individual after the conflict ceased; thereby furnishing a memorable testimony to the natives of Asia that British soldiers are equally brave and humane!
Other accounts add that the unhappy captive Europeans mentioned in the foregoing detail, among whom was an officer, brought from the place of their confinement two days before the assault, and ordered to assist in working the guns on the works, which they refused; they were then informed that death would be the consequence of their persisting in the refusal, but even this threat did not warp them from their purpose and their heads were all struck off. It is said the mode of their death was afterwards ascertained by digging the bodies up which were found in that state.

The Friendship, Watts, arrived yesterday, from St. Sebastian, brings us Paris Gazettes to the 10th Fructidor; from these, the following Information is extracted.
PARIS, 29 Messidor.
They write from Cadiz, the 9th Messidor, that the French corvette La Mouche, (armée en course) captain Nicholas Déles, is arrived there from Bourdeaux, in 13 days. He brought in with him two American merchantmen, which he captured at their coming out of Lisbon. One contained 17 chests of silver, consisting of 51,000 dollars, destined for Bengal, and the other 42,000 dollars, bound to Batavia.
BRUSSELS, 6th Fructidor.
It appears according to the last news from Zealand, that some English vessels, with troops, had approached the Island of Goeree, in the design of effecting a descent; but that the batteries on the shore keeping up a brisk fire, the enemy found it prudent to remove themselves from the fear of a mishap. It is believed, however, that the object of the English was only to reconnoitre the means of defence of the Republicans, and to form a more serious attack, after having made their preparations accordingly. Whatever it be, it is very certain that greater events are on the point of bursting forth, since the naval forces of the enemy daily encroach as well in the North Sea, as upon all the coasts and confines of the Batavian Republic. Defensive dispositions are augmented in the same proportion in all the points liable to attack.
LYONS, 3 Fructidor.
The adjutant-general Dauvergne has enjoined it upon the central bureau to procure a place, healthy, proper and commodious, for depositing the citizens arrested by a measure of general safety. They had been heaped up, pell-mell, with robbers, thieves and assassins. The same adjutant-general has given his permission to the reopening of the Theatre of Lyons.
The city of Lyons is very tranquil since they have been apprized of the shutting up of the club of the rue de Bacq, at Paris. It was a pleasant thing to see here, those impure beings vomited by the revolution, laying aside all of a sudden their air of arrogance and ferocity, leaving no more, any thing distinctive in their figure, but bales and shame. You would have said you saw the furious tiger, burning to drink the blood he smelt around him, but unable to attain it. In the meanwhile, their Hotel de Monnaie is under the seals, and who is to pay for the wine they have caused to be drunk in such profusion upon credit, in order to create partisans, and to prepare a coup de main?
The brothers of Millery, department of the Rhone, have caused to be printed an address to the legislative body, inviting them to take measures energetic and even unconstitutional. Can one doubt after this, their love for the constitution?
On the 28 Thermidor, 19 priests of the different departments, who had remained in the prisons of Lyons, departed for Orléans, chained by the neck, in four carriages, and accompanied by the armed force.
Orléans is an island, on the coast of Aunis and Saintonge, five miles from the continent, defended by a castle; and is made, by these fiends of Atheism, a depot of the apostles of the Christian faith, whence they are transported from that unholy land, to the burning sands of Guiana.
On the 30th, three large barges, containing FOUR HUNDRED GALLEY SLAVES [Galeriens] descended the Saone to be rendered at the different ports in the South. An ancient lady, of the age of eighty, whose son had been condemned to irons for desertion, finding him to be amongst the ninety, which our city had added to those of the other departments, was so seized with despair, that she precipitated herself from a window of the 4th story of a house in the rue de la Picherie, and dashed out her brains.
PARIS, 10 Fructidor.
The ex-Directory was reproached with its arbitrary dismissals; and Quirot and Texier Olivier and many other representatives complained bitterly that those dismissals were brought about by intrigue, and without the deputations being consulted. The perseverance of those Directors, then, in remaining independent of the deputies in their acts, provoked their downfall. That catastrophe has not at all corrected their successors. It is no longer a single man that they displace, but functionaries in mass. Twenty-two commissioners of the Executive Directory in the Pas de Calais, have received the order of Robert Grachet to cease their functions, since they had no longer his confidence: and that ought to be a powerful motive for retaining them. The deputation has not been at all consulted: it has remonstrated on the contrary against this horrible violation of the
Constitution. I am far from accusing the Directory of this crime, [said yet he has expressly done so] I do not even accuse the minister of the Interior. This infamous machination springs from those bureaus where are found those individuals whose names recall recollections the most painful and dolorous, and who find their confidence not to be quieted, until all the wretches of the republic shall have chased from their functions the wife and virtuous republicans.
[Ani des Lois.]
Letters from Carcassone announce that all is calm at present in the neighboring departments; the central administration of the Upper Garonne has issued a proclamation to the peasants in those environs, to engage them to return to their homes and to deliver up their chiefs; we are ignorant of the effect produced by it.
They write from Copenhagen, "Our Court appears decided in observing the strictest neutrality. The ambassador of Russia, baron de Kudener, received yesterday his audience of leave."
The town of Saint Claude has been burnt to ashes: two hundred and ninety houses are no more but an heap of cinders and of ruins, of which the eye can hardly embrace the extent. Not a single habitation spared, not a single panel of the wall that would pertain a piece of timber, or that does not menace to crush the rashness which should dare to take shelter under it, not a stone but is calcined, not a morsel of metal which has not been either bent or melted, or devoured by the flames; two hundred individuals perished in the flames, the rest remain naked, without asylum and without bread, at the foot of the steep and craggy rock, which seems to accuse at this moment, the government with its abandonment.
[Saint Claude was a beautiful town in the Province of Franche Comté, seated between three high mountains. The cause of its afflicting catastrophe, does not appear in any of the papers which have reached our hands.]
A dreadful massacre took place at Bourdeaux, on the 19, 20, 21 and 22 Thermidor. The recitals which it is our duty to give, of the state of some insurgent villages, makes us groan with horror. A column of rebels which had taken refuge at Saint Claire, a small town near Lectoure, have been all hewn in pieces: the vanquishers not content with this advantage, have, we are assured, delivered to the edge of the sword, men, women, children, and old men: the town was after being pillaged, delivered to the flames.
[St. Claire was a beautiful and flourishing village in the province of Armagnac, near the strong town of Lectoure.]
Suwarrows has confiscated at Turin the library and book magazine of citizen Botta. It is well for this author of the crimes of kings, of the popes, &c. &c. that he finds himself at Paris; for the least punishment he could have expected for killing these wretches would have been the rope or the knout.
An order had been given to the garrison of Mentz to advance towards Strasbourg; already had they their knapsacks at their backs, when the commandant, perceiving the treason which was to have delivered up that place to the Austrians, arrested the departure of the troops: the general who was to have delivered up Mentz has passed over to the enemy. This treason was discovered by the arrestation of an aristocratic priest, upon whom were found letters which announced the intended delivery of that place, the fortifications of which are to the enemy an object of dread.
It is said, the Governor Elect waited on the President of the United States yesterday morning.
The Officers of the Volunteer Legion of Philadelphia, in the service of the United States, assembled this day at the Coffee-house, at half past two o'clock, and, in procession, waited upon the President, with their compliments.
It has been reported, that Captain Barry was to join Captain Murray, in his cruise against the French Republic: the report is erroneous.
The Insurgente frigate is, we learn, expected shortly to return from her European cruise.
The best fortune that could have befallen Governor Mifflin's political character, was to be succeeded by Governor McKean. The reign even of a rotten log was lighted over by the Freg, after they had fallen under the dominion of the Stork.
MARRIED.
On Friday evening last, Mr. William P. Beatty, of Columbia, Lancaster county, to Miss Eleanor Poulk, Neshannoy, Bucks county.
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
The Communication from "an Old Correspondent," of his ideas on "the propriety of suspending the contemplated mission to France," was not received, in course of Post, until after the news had reached us, of the Envoys having failed. He will probably acquiesce in the propriety of ceasing to oppose that measure; as men ever on the watch for grounds to impeach the integrity of those who differ from them in opinion, would seize the occasion to denounce the publication of those sentiments as a needlessly and wanton continuance of opposition, after the lapse of that interval when only it could have been of avail.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT. March 11th, 1799. PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN. Pursuant to the act of Congress passed on the 24th of June, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, entitled "an act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military services, and for the society of United Brethren for propagating the gospel among the Heathen;" and the act supplementary to the said recited act passed on the second day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine—to wit:
I. THAT the tract of Land herein described, to wit: "beginning at the North West corner of the seven ranges of townships, and running thence fifty miles due south, along the western boundary of the said ranges; thence due West to the Main Branch of the Scioto river; thence up the Main Branch of the said river to the place where the Indian boundary line crosses the same; thence along the said boundary line to the Teacora branch of the Muddy river at the crossing place above Fort Lawrence; thence down the said river, to the point where a line run due west from the place of beginning, will intersect the said river; thence along the line to run to the place of beginning;" has been divided into townships of five miles square, and fractional parts of townships; and that plans and surveys of the said townships and fractional parts of townships are deposited in the offices of the Register of the Treasury and Surveyor General, for the inspection of all persons concerned.
II. The holders of such warrants as have been or shall be granted for military services performed during the late war, are required to present the same to the Register of the Treasury, at some time prior to the twelfth day of February in the year, one thousand eight hundred, for the purpose of being registered; No registry will however be made of any less quantity than a quarter township, or four thousand acres.
III. The priority of location of the warrants which may be presented and registered in manner aforesaid, prior to the 12th day of February, in the year one thousand eight hundred, will immediately after the said day, be determined by lot, in the mode described by the act first recited.
IV. The holders of registered warrants, shall on Monday the 17th day of February, in the year 1800, in the order of which the priority of location shall be determined by lot as aforesaid, personally, or by their agents, designate in writing at the office of the Register of the Treasury, the particular quarter townships selected by them respectively, and such of the said holders as shall not designate their locations on the said day, shall be postponed in locating such warrants to all other holders of registered warrants.
V. The holders of warrants for military services sufficient to cover one or more quarter townships or tracts of four thousand acres each; shall, at any time after Monday the 17th day of February, 1800 and prior to the first day of January, 1802, be allowed to register the said warrants in manner aforesaid, and forthwith to make locations therefor on any tract or tracts of land not before located.
VI. All warrants or claims for lands on account of military services, which shall not be registered and located before the first day of January, 1802, are by the supplementary act of Congress herein before recited, passed on the second day of March, 1799, declared to be forever barred. Given under my hand at Philadelphia, the day and year above mentioned. OLIVER WOLCOTT. Sec. of the Treasury.

TO THE PUBLIC. THE time being fixed on, when the MILITARY LAND (commonly called Knapp's ) WARRANTS , granted to the United States' army, are to be registered and located,—the subscribers have explored that tract of land on which those warrants are to be laid; with a view, and for the purpose of offering their services as locators. We take the liberty of suggesting, "that we are at least as well acquainted with the situation, quality of the soil, &c. of the different townships in the aforesaid tract, as any other person;" this will, perhaps, appear more clearly, by observing, that WILLIAM C. SCHENCK assisted in running the Indian boundary line; at which time he considerably traversed that tract; he also assisted in surveying and laying it off into townships, and at other times ranged over it, to gain information. But to obtain a more complete and accurate knowledge, we have lately spent between two and three months, with several assistants, in particularly examining the different townships and quarter townships; by which means we have acquired an accurate knowledge of the whole district.—We now offer our services to the public, as Locators, with assurances that we will locate every person warrants intrusted to us to the best advantage, agreeably to their rights of location, which is to be determined according to law. For our services we demand the one equal tenth part, either in lands or warrants, when we locate a full tract, of four thousand acres or more, for one person or firm; the land to be taken in a square, at a corner of the tract; which corner is to be equitably determined before the time of location.—The one equal sixth part, in cash or warrants, when we connect and locate any amount less than four thousand acres. We will be in Philadelphia from December next, until after the time of location, to transact this business. Any person wishing to satisfy himself farther, will please to call on us, by letter, (postage paid) or otherwise; when due attention will be paid, and such vouchers may be seen as we have to offer, which we hope will be satisfactory.

To the Holders of MILITARY LAND WARRANTS. THE Subscriber having lately returned from viewing the land, surveyed and appropriated to satisfy the land warrants, issued by the secretary at war, to the officers and soldiers of the late continental army; and having made arrangements with Mr. James Johnston , of Chester county, Pennsylvania, who he left on the land, and who with the assistance of an intelligent inhabitant of that county, will spend five months in exploring the different sections. He will take regular notes, descriptive of the soil, situation, and natural advantages attached to each section in the whole survey—which notes will be placed in the hands of the subscriber previous to the period for locating, thereby enabling him to make the most advantageous locations the priority will admit. He offers his service to the holders of land warrants of the above description, throughout the United States, to receive their warrants, claim them, (as no less quantity than 4000 acres will be registered at the office of the treasury) have them registered agreeable to law, and attend to make the location at the time appointed in February next. For transacting the business, one tenth part of the land specified in the warrants will be required, and no other charge, except the postage of letters. All warrants forwarded and letters addressed to the subscriber, at No. 3, Penn-street, Philadelphia, will receive immediate attention. JAMES E. SMITH. mwlf. September 2

TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public. TERMS. The work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars. whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, to those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred have, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost incalculable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation. The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: Philadelphia, June 15, 1798. "To the Honor the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States." "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia," "Respectfully represents," That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he has obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves.

The Swift-Sure, A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Buxton; Newtown, Scotch Plains, Springfield and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the population of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Thorough Fare from Philadelphia to New-York. During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken, and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained. There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required at the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is among the least of its advantages, because daily experience proves to us, that dispatch as well as comfort in travelling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country, and, in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It presents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstance, added to the beauty of the country, and a considerable proportion of shade, must always render travelling in the latter season peculiarly agreeable. The Swift Sure starts from PHILADELPHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth street. It goes through Frankford to Buxton, where it stops to Breakfast; from Buxton it goes through Newtown to Pennytown to dinner; from Pennytown through Hopewell, Millstone, Boundbrook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it stops at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New-York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York, application may be made to Edward Baretta, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathison, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtland, corner of Greenwich streets, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 42a Broad street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars. Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each passenger is allowed to take on 14lbs. of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage, taken on by a passenger, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weight. With respect to packages sent on without passengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a regulation, which, though unknown to other lines of stages, they think must meet with general approbation. They pledge themselves to make good every package on the following conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office shall see it entered in the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then state the value of the package, and pay (exclusive of the carriage) one per cent. on the value, as insurance, and for which he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance, if he estimates his package at one dollar, he will pay one cent. and if at one hundred dollars, he will pay one dollar insurance, and in like proportion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike this regulation; it will however, be optional with every one to avail himself of this security or not. But the proprietors think it right to state very explicitly, that they will be responsible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insurance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and taverns as always afford a good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The stages are well equipped furnished with fleet and steady horses, and committed to the care of intelligent sober and obliging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the persons they employ is continually an object of their attention. They take care also to see that the passengers are well provided for and politely treated at the taverns, and that no sort of chicane or insolence is practised upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expense to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best line of stages in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, during which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Every passenger has found the road to surpass very far all that has been said of its excellence; and the Proprietors of the Swift Sure are extremely happy to hear the behavior of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns spoken of with the highest satisfaction.
