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 popularity of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswick, &c, long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Through 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 circumstances, 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 Pennypack to dinner; from Pennypack 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 Bardin, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtlandt, corner of Greenwich street, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 42, Broad street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars. Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile. Each passenger is allowed to take on 14 lbs. 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 false 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 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 chicanery or imposition 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 behaviour of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns, spoke of with the highest satisfaction.

Late Foreign Articles
PLYMOUTH, April 30.
Last night arrived here the Dolly cutter, of 8 guns, lieutenant A. Watson, with the important intelligence of the French fleet being at sea. It appears by the best account we can collect, that they failed from Brest on Friday last, consisting of 17 sail of the line besides smaller vessels, and full of troops, which places it beyond a doubt that Ireland is their intended destination. The Nymph, of 38 guns, capt. Fraser, was left by the Dolly reconnoitering the enemy, of whom Lord Bridport had received certain information, and has a perfect knowledge of their situation and force: he has with him 16 sail of the line, 5 of which are three-deckers, and was, from the latest accounts of him, not more than seven hours sail from the French fleet, using his utmost endeavours to cut them off from the land, and, in the event of bringing them to action, to prevent their returning to Brest.
The despatches by the Dolly were forwarded this morning to London; all is bustle on board the men of war in this harbour, and every ship that can possibly put to sea, will sail this day. The following ships are already unmoored; but the wind being at South, with very light airs, they will make, it is feared, little progress:
Table with 2 columns: Ship Name, Captain. Rows: Atlas, Capt. J. Jones; Formidable, E. Thornborough; Ramilles, R. Grindall; Robust, G. Dountess; L'Uranie, G. A. Towry; Phoenix, L. W. Halfhead; Triton, T. Gore.
Every exertion is using to get down from Hamoaze, the Bellona, of 74 guns, Captain Sir T. B. Thompson; that gallant officer has a longing desire to share in the glory of another action, and to be revenged of the Great Nation for his capture in the Leander, which he so nobly defended in the action with the Generoux, of 74 guns.
Another report is very generally circulated, and seems to gain credit, which states, that the Dolly is immediately from Lord Bridport, and left him last Sunday morning: the Nymph frigate being then in sight both of the English and French fleets, and that his Lordship had so far effected his purpose, as to be between the French and the land, and at the same time to windward, with every prospect of bringing them to action: so that hourly intelligence may be expected of something decisive. The Powey cutter, of 24 guns, Lieut. Darby, is arrived here, and saw the French fleet on Friday last, at Anchor in Berthearne Bay, on which day they put to sea from thence.
There are at this time upwards of one hundred transports in the river ready for sea, some of which are fitted up for the accommodation of cavalry. Their destination is at present unknown.
LORD NELSON.
Lieutenant Duval, who arrived on Tuesday at the Admiralty, with dispatches from Bombay and Constantinople, is the Gentleman who was dispatched overland to India by Lord Nelson with an account of the victory of the Nile. The following is the letter from Admiral Nelson to the Governor of Bombay:
Flagship Mouth of the Nile, Aug. 9.
"Sir, Although I hope the Consuls who are, or ought to be resident in Egypt, have sent you an express of the situation of affairs here, yet, as I know Mr. Baldwin has some months left Alexandria, it is possible you may not be regularly informed; I shall therefore relate to you briefly, that a French Army of 40,000 men, in 300 transports with 15 sail of the line, 11 frigates, bomb-vessels, gun-boats, &c. &c., arrived at Alexandria on the 1st of July; on the 7th they left it for Cairo, where they arrived on the 22d. During their march they had some actions with the Mamelukes, which the French call great victories. As I have Buonaparte's dispatches now before me, which I took yesterday, I speak positively: he says, "I am now going to send off to take Suez and Damietta." He does not speak favourably of either country or people; but there is such bombast in his letters that it is difficult to get at the truth, but you may be sure he is only master of what his army covers. From all the enquiries which I have been able to make, I cannot learn that any French vessels are at Suez to carry any part of his army to India. Bombay (if they cannot get there) I know is the first object; but I trust the Almighty God in Egypt will overthrow these pests of the human race. It has been in my power to prevent 12,000 men from leaving Genoa, and also to take 11 sail of the line and two frigates; two sail of the line and two frigates have escaped me. This glorious battle was fought at the Mouth of the Nile, at anchor: it began at sun-set, and was not finished at three the next morning: it has been severe, but God favoured our endeavours with a great victory. I am now at anchor between Alexandria and Rosetta, to prevent their communication by water, and nothing under a regiment can pass by land. But I should have informed you, that the French have 4,000 men posted at Rosetta, to keep open the mouth of the Nile. Alexandria, both town and shipping, are so distressed for provisions, that they can only get them from the Nile by water; therefore I cannot guess the good which may attend my holding our present position, for Buonaparte writes his distresses for stores, artillery, and things for the hospital, &c. All useful communication is at an end between Alexandria and Cairo; you may be sure I shall remain here as long as possible. Buonaparte had never yet to contend with the English officer, and I shall endeavour to make him respect us. This is all that I have to communicate; I am confident every precaution will be taken to prevent in future any vessels going to Suez which may be able to carry troops to India. If my letter is not so correct as might be ex-
pected, I trust your excuse, when I tell you my brain is so shook with the wound in my head, that I am sensible I am not always so clear as could be wish'd; but whilst a ray of reason remains, my heart and hand shall ever be exerted for the benefit of our King and Country.
I have the honour to be, &c. &c. (Signed) HORATIO NELSON."
HAGUE, April 16.
It was to day reported, that the English had cut out of the Texel three ships richly laden; but this requires confirmation. We are assured that our fleet in the Texel is destined to form a junction with the Brest fleet and proceed with that upon an importance expedition. The embargo laid on ships at Brussels and Antwerp, in order to procure sailors, has been taken, off.
April 20.
The measure proposed by the Directory and immediately agreed to as a matter of urgency by the first chamber for pressing the vessels belonging to private persons into the public service, having been sanctioned on the 16th by the second chamber, has confirmed the sentiments entertained here for several weeks past, that a naval expedition was again in agitation, in consequence of our fleet being in a state of readiness to put to sea. With a view, however, not to render the measure too detrimental to commerce, though no period ever occurred more suitable to an expedition than the present, when all trade is inactive by the blockade of all our ports, it is not to be carried into effect until the lists are made out, which the Directory has actually ordered, for the purpose of ascertaining what ships and vessels are proper to be pressed without injuring our commerce, and what will suffer least by being put in requisition. After the example which was followed two years ago when our squadron was to proceed on an expedition, the vessels that may be pressed are to be employed in conveying every necessary article to the fleet before it sails, as well as to attend it on the expedition, and perhaps also to transport troops.
The other measure respecting the organization of the National Guard, which appears destined to replace, for the defence of the interior the troops going out with the expedition, or dispatched to join the French armies in Germany, is to be taken into consideration on Monday next by the first chamber, where the third reading of the report on that subject will take place. Although it is dictated by the pressure of circumstances, it will, it is expected, meet with a vigorous opposition, as it tends to establish a kind of military requisition or conscription, by which we may be forced to take up arms and march. According to the plan proposed, the National Guard is to consist of 40,000 men, which is double the number of our regular troops and the age of enrolment is from 18 to 35 years, while the classes are to be ranked according to age, to marriage, and to employment in the service of the state.
BANKS of the NECKAR, April 15.
In the country called Obenwalds, on the borders of Franconia, the peasants have armed themselves with scythes, sickles, pikes, and any weapon they could find, and risen against the French. At Weinheim, and other places on the great road from Frankfort to Basle, there have been several skirmishes. It is said that a considerable corps of Austrian troops is advancing from the vicinity of Wurtzburg towards the Obenwalde.
HEPPENHEIM, April 15.
We have here a war conducted by the peasantry of the country. All are under arms, and the whole of the Obenwalde has risen in a mass. The head-quarters of this rustic army are here. They have their advanced posts in form, and their piquets of cavalry, and they are encamped from Eberstadt to Weisheim. The whole amount to not less than 20,00,000, armed with all kinds of weapons, just as they left their houses and farms yards. They are exasperated against the French, and determined no longer to submit tamely to their oppressions.
HAMBURGH, April 23.
The following is a sketch of the Austrian and French forces in Italy, on the 15th of April: French army.—Eleven divisions of French troops and four divisions of Italian troops, that is to say of Piedmontese, Calabrians, Romans, Neapolitans, Ligurians, Poles, and altogether 150,000 men, calculating 10,000 men for each division. This force is thus distributed:
Two divisions of French, and one of Italians, are in the kingdom of Naples. One of French at Civita Vecchia, Rome, and Ancona. One of Italians at Leghorn, and in other parts of Tuscany; and at Lucca, two of French. At Turin and in Piedmont, and in the Ligurian republic, besides some bodies of requisitionary troops established at Piedmont, and in the county of Nice. One of Italians to keep in order the interior of Italy. One of French in the Valteline. Six divisions, five of them French, and one of Italians, under the orders of Scherer, which compose the great army. The Austrian army with its auxiliaries, is as follows:
1st. Fifteen thousand Neapolitan insurgents who occupy the south of the kingdom of Naples, and keep in check three divisions of the enemy. 2d. Fifteen thousand men in the Tyrol, in the Bishoprick of Trent, to be under the immediate command of Gen. Suwarrows. 3d. Seventy six thousand Austrians, and 24,000 Russians, composing the Grand Army. Total 15,000 men. The following deduction is to be made from the French army: 1st. The division of the Valteline, (that of Casa Bianca) now united to the army of Helvetia, and consolidated with that of Massena. The three divisions which occupy the kingdom of Naples cannot, on account of their incomplete state and duty losses, be estimated at more than two divisions. 3d. Scherer has certainly lost more than two divisions (20,000 men) since the commencement of the campaign, and has now not more than 40,000 effected men under his command. Of these he has thrown 3,000 into Peshiera, and 10,000 at least are wanted for Mantua, so that there remains only 25,000 men at the utmost to resist the 150,000 which Marshal Suwarrows may employ against him; so that the latter may easily drive back the French army behind the Adda, or the Tiffi, and lay siege to Mantua, after having made himself master of the half, or the whole of Lombardy. The French have, it is said, evacuated the two entrenched posts which they held before Mantua, near Bologn St. Giorgio. The first column of the Russian Auxiliaries was to arrive on the 10th at Verona. Marshal Suwarrows was expected on the 15th. We know nothing positively yet respecting Switzerland. It is said, that Constance has been taken by the Austrians, after being burnt by the French, and that General Hotze had entered the country of St. Gall, where 2,000 Swiss have, we are assured, arrived to join him; but these two reports are yet but little credited. The disgust of the army of Jourdan is extreme, and the defection among the troops very great. The soldiers have publicly drank the health of the Archduke Charles at Strasbourg.
PARIS, April 1.
Gen. Suwarrows having received from Paul I. a letter announcing his promotion to the command in Italy, replied in these terms: "I accept, and set out instantly for Peterburgh—I shall throw myself at your majesty's feet, and I will beat the French."
STRASBURGH, April 20.
For some time the head quarters of Prince Charles, have alternately been at Engen, Stockach, Pfullendorf, and Donaueschingen.
On the evening of the 20th, an Austrian flotilla of 26 sail, arrived at Lindau from Bregenz, and has taken troops on board, with which it proceeded to some unknown destination. Fresh troops are continually arriving at Mayence and Mannheim, and others are daily passing through here towards Helvetia. It would be painful to think we had calculated too confidently on the Helveticans.
It is remarkable that Gen. Hotze has now under his banners 3,000 men, under the name of Swiss Emigrants; while Gen. Keele, in the early part of March had only 1,600 regular troops, and the militia of several cantons had declared that they was not at war with the Emperor. If, however, Massena should beat the Archduke, the Swiss militia will act with the French.
As much as may be said of the princes of the empire, generally, some are intimidated by the rapid march of the Archduke. If Jourdan had had 25,000 men more, and the Archduke been compelled to make a backward move, the Congress of Rastadt would not have been dissolved, nor the Imperial Rescript made its appearance, either there or at Ratisbon.
Every military man will acknowledge, that our troops, by maintaining their ground in the Grison country and Switzerland, will soon gain the advantages they might have had at the opening of hostilities, if they had not struck in the first place at Shaffhausen, and that they might have turned Bregenz, the very day that Massena made his first attack upon Feldkirch.
RUSSIA and TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 22.
TREATY of Defensive Alliance, between His Majesty the Ottoman Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor of Russia.
In the name of Omnipotent God. His Majesty the Emperor of Ottomans, and His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russians, equally animated by a sincere desire, not only of maintaining, for the good of their respective states and subjects, the peace, amity, and good understanding, happily subsisting between them; but also to cause them to contribute to the establishment and confirmation of the general tranquility, so greatly disturbed at the present, and which is the most salutary gift of Heaven to Man—Have resolved to extend still further, the connexions by which they are united, by the conclusion of a treaty of Defensive Alliance: In consequence, their Majesties have appointed for their plenipotentiaries, viz: The Emperor of the Ottomans, Efeid Ibrahim Ahmed Bey, with the title of Cadifkecier of Romelia, former Esfambul Effendi, and Achmet-Atif, Reis Effendi—and His Majesty the Emperor of Russia, the Noble Vassili Tamara, his privy counsellor and ambassador extraordinary to the Ottoman Porte.—Who, after communicating their respective full powers, which are found good and in due form, have agreed to the following articles:
1. There shall be perpetual Peace, friendship, alliance and good understanding between their Majesties their Empires and subjects, as well by sea as land; inasmuch, by this defensive alliance, an union to intimate shall be established between them, that they shall hereafter have the same enemies and the same friends. In consequence, their Majesties promise to open themselves without reserve to each other with respect to every object reciprocally relative to each, and to take every measure necessary to oppose all hostile enterprises against either of the parties, and re-establish the general tranquility.
2. The treaty of peace concluded at Jassy, the 29th December 1791 or of the Hegira 1206, the 15th of the Moon Gamaziel Covel, as well as every other treaty comprehended in the same, are confirmed in their tenor, as fully as if they were inserted word for word in the present treaty of alliance.
3. In order to give the alliance its entire and perfect effect, the high contracting parties mutually guarantee to each other their respective possessions. His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias guarantees to the Sublime Porte of all its possessions without reserve, such as they existed before the invasion of Egypt; and his Majesty the Emperor of the Ottomans, guarantees all the possessions of the Court of Russia, such as they may exist at present, without exception.
4. Though the two powers reserve to themselves the rights of entering into negotiation with other powers and to conclude with them such treaties as their respective interest may require, they engage in the most explicit and formal manner, not to admit any thing into these treaties which may cause the smallest injury, damage or loss to either, or effect the integrity of their States. They promise on the contrary to do all they can to maintain in and preserve the honor, the safety, and advantage of both.
5. Should any project or enterprise, injurious to both or either of the parties, be formed or undertaken, and the forces employed to frustrate such enterprises be found insufficient, in that case one party shall be held to assist the other, by sea or land, either to act in concert, or to make division—or shall assist in money, according as the interest of the allies and their safety shall require. In this case, they agree to accommodate each other on the most liberal principles. Every necessary arrangement shall be effected as speedily as possible; and the duties to be performed, shall be immediately, after carried into execution.
6. The choice of succour, whether in troops, or money, shall depend on the party attacked; and in case the former be demanded, the troops or ships shall be furnished within three months after the request has been made. In case of a subsidy in money, the same shall be paid yearly, at fixed periods, calculating from the day of the declaration of war by the aggressor, or from the commencement of hostilities.
7. The two high contracting parties, thus making a common cause, whether with all their forces, or a stipulated number, it shall not be permitted to either of them to conclude a treaty or armistice, without including the other, and providing for its safety; and in case any enterprise shall be formed against the party required to furnish, whether in reversion of the alliance made, or succour offered, the other party shall be obliged to fulfil, with punctuality and good faith, the same obligation for defending her.
8. In case the two allies should cause the whole of their forces to act in concert, or in case of a stipulated succour only, they promise to communicate reciprocally, and without reserve, the plan of their military operations; to facilitate as much as possible the execution of them; to impart their views in relation to the period or continuing hostilities, and the conditions of peace, and to meet each other on this subject, as far as possible, conforming themselves to the principles of peace and moderation.
9. The auxiliaries shall be provided by their respective sovereigns, in proportion to their number, with artillery, ammunition, and other necessary objects—they shall also be paid and supported by them. The party requiring succour, shall furnish them with provision and forage, agreeably to prices to be agreed on, to date from the day when they pass their own frontiers. The requiring party shall likewise procure them quarters and other conveniencies, the same as their own troops enjoy, or such as the required party are accustomed to have in time of peace.
10. The requiring party shall furnish the auxiliary squadron with the provisions they may stand in need of, conformably to terms agreed on: to commence from the day of the arrival of the squadron in the channel, and during the whole time they shall be employed against the common enemy. The requiring party shall furnish without difficulty, from its arsenals and magazines, to the squadron at the ordinary prices, whatever it may want, in case repairs be necessary. The ships of war, and transports of the two allied courts, shall, during the continuance of the war, have free entrance into their respective harbours, either to winter or repair.
11. Every trophy taken from the enemy, and all captures, shall belong to the troops by which they are made.
12. The Ottoman Emperor, and the Emperor of all the Russias, not having in view, by the present alliance, the making of conquests, but solely the defence of their respective possessions, the safety of their subjects, and also to maintain the other powers in the respectable situation in which they find themselves at present, and by which they form a political balance so necessary for the support of the general tranquility; their Majesties will not fail to invite their Majesties the Emperor, King of Bohemia and Hungary, the Kings of Great Britain and Prussia, as well as every other power, to accede to this treaty, whose object is so just and salutary.
13. Though the two contracted parties, are sincerely desirous of maintaining this engagement to the most remote period; yet, as it is possible that in time the succession of circumstances may require that some changes be made in it, they agree to fix its duration to the term of eight years, from the day of exchanging the imperial ratifications. The two parties, before the expiration of this term, will concert measures relative to the renewal of the treaty, agreeably to the state of things at that period.
14. The present treaty of defensive alliance shall be ratified by the Emperor of the Ottomans, and the Emperor of all the Russias; and the ratification shall be exchanged at Constantinople in the term of two months, and sooner if possible.
In faith of which, We the Undersigned, by virtue of our full powers, have subscribed the present treaty of defensive alliance, and have affixed our seals to it. Conclut nino 1100, Dec. 24, 1798. [Signed]

PHILADELPHIA,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 26.
Notwithstanding the attempts, which have been, and are still in action, to paralyze every flag of military preparation, by the Jacobins —the well meaning people of the United States, have only to appreciate their real strength , and to use it properly , to shipwreck the projects of France, as they respect their government and liberties. Their destinies are in their own hands. If their government is to be destroyed, it must be a felo de se . Let them therefore banish indecision, and carefully avoid the fractions, vices and errors of those countries which have become an easy prey to a nation, whose ambition has no other limits , than had that of Alexander.
The real republicans are quite outrageous that we should not yield to France , before we have been vanquished by her arms. They think we should not even require a single battle . What excellent patriots, statesmen and heroes , are these real republicans .
Should France reduce the powers of Europe, and the East, to her obedience; the United States, if they should be found unprepared for a long and obstinate war, will in vain plead their neutrality and rights . What signifies your neutrality and rights, the Directory or their general, will say to our remonstrances, as Sylla said to Mithridates , "obey, without resistance, the laws which we shall think proper, to impose upon you, or render yourselves stronger than we are."
There are resemblances between certain animal tribes and some of the human race , which have afforded matter of observation for the moralist as well as naturalist. I do not know however, that those between the Vulture and Jacobin have been sufficiently delineated. Vultures are remarkable for voracity and sagacity of nostril. Jacobins predict battles, (see the Aurora  passim ). Jacobins also, have been known to dwell, with such delight, on the carnage of French victories; that it was next to impossible to force them from the repaire , (see also the Aurora ). This is the case in a remarkable degree, with Vultures . It is an ancient opinion, that by a prophetic instinct , they have presages of a battle; and will seek the spot of future slaughter, whole days before the event. Pennant in his view of Hindostan, tells us, that after the attack of the Nabob's camp, before the battle of Plassey , in which was made a vast slaughter of men, elephants and horses, Vultures, Jackals and Pariars , or village curs, were seen tearing the same corpse, or carcass, and that the first (the Vultures ) were often so gorged, that they could not be forced from the spot. So far the resemblance between Vultures and Jacobins , wonderfully coincides. It remains to be ascertained, whether French flocks is equally favourable to Jacobins as German .
The Aurora of Philadelphia, and that of Richmond in Virginia, will continue to consider French victories , in the light of blessings to mankind , and the former particularly, the French Directory , as immaculate patriots and their greatest benefactors. There is a boldness of sinning, however, in the editor of the Aurora , which surpasses, in barefaced devotion to the French cause , almost any thing, that has yet appeared. In the capital of one of the most important States in the union, this man has had the unparalleled effrontery to attempt to organize a company of armed men , and to prescribe insignia for them, altogether gallick . As the American soldiers wear black hats ; as a Cock is an emblem of the French, he orders them to wear cocks neck feathers ; as a small eagle on a large black ground , is the American cockade, he requires a large silver eagle to be mounted on a very small black ground , to show as much as possible, by his regulations, a contempt of the national military insignia .
The Editor of the Aurora , in order to reconcile his readers to French conquests , and a successive augmentation of their territory , and power , would insinuate that a balance of strength , between two nations, is no wife conducive to keep them within due bounds , or repress ambition . Alas! how dreadful are the examples to the contrary; and to
what ambitious and horrid purposes, has France employed the preponderancy she has already acquired. Can we then be reconciled to a further extension of her conquests? Can we so soon overlook the fate of Genoa and Venice, or the uses the invariably makes of every new conquest? Has she not invariably made one a stepping stone to another? And yet such Patriots as Duane, would fondly lull us asleep, that she might also step into the United States .
Shall we not hear the Aurora moan for Switzerland, from whence, it is very probable, the French are, or will be, driven? Lavater , the pious rector of Zurich, will not join in these lamentations. When he saw peace, happiness and liberty torn from his defenceless countrymen, his zeal for these blessings got the better of every other consideration, and produced a remonstrance to Reubel , worthy of his patriotism and piety. In this he tells the Director , that the errors in the government of Switzerland were not so great as they were said to be, and that if they had been greater, the Swiss were an independent nation , and the French had no right to impose a constitution on them , by the force of the bayonet . It was too, he tells us, after having subdued, ravaged and plundered Berne, Fribourgh and Soleure, they required from his countrymen of Zurich, an assent to the New Constitution , in a violent, peremptory tone , in the language of robbers, blood or money; acceptance or war ; and notwithstanding their promise, that not a thou should be demanded, "they had the impudence to exact three millions of livres ."
Extract of a letter from Lisbon.
"Now, at the 10th of May, great news—The French are every where defeated; in Italy, not one Frenchman will be left in two months from this time. The Directory are declared permanent during the war—the black flag is hoisted at Paris denoting danger—8000 have been sent, by forced marches, from Paris to Massena's army—the Alpine republic revolted—the Swiss revolted—the Russian general Suwarrow has published a manifesto, declaring, he will neither receive or give quarter."
On Monday last Eliza Curtis , a Rigger, fell from the round-top of a ship, and broke his bones in a miserable manner: he was carried immediately, to the Pennsylvania Hospital , where he died soon after he got into the house.

No expense has been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America. This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle , which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations. Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Sam. Crout, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Boston and other places, as soon as occasions offer.] May 28

TERMS Of Richard Fokwell, 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, Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public. THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 300 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 rate 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, in their rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what importance value would the laws of Alfred have been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well preserved public records, and renders time a loss inestimable. It is hoped, that American's, 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 Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasion to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them; That we understand that Richard Fokwell, 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.
