For the GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
AS your paper is considered all thro' America as a found federal paper, and the rallying point of the friends of the constitution and of good government, your subscribers must view with pain any attempts by the concealed enemies of both constitution and good government, to injure its circulation, by mak- ing it a vehicle of publications, disgusting to all good federalists. There are unfortunately papers enough already, well disposed and eager to disse- minate pernicious sentiments and to poison the public mind; in God's name, let the good federalists have one paper, free from disorganizing doctrines, let them have one repository for the supporters of good government. These sentiments have been drawn forth by seeing a great many columns of your tru- ly valuable paper stuffed, at this interesting crisis of our affairs, with calumnies against that virtuous pa- triot, John Adams, by a writer, disguising himself under the name of a federalist, in order to excite attention among your readers, a trick, proceeding from his consciousness that his writings alone would not merit it.
Are not the anti-federalists satisfied with one pa- per? They have Bache's at their command, and have filled that for weeks past with their slander. What right have they to poach on federal ground? Be assured that this pretended federalist is an enemy in disguise, who is wire-drawing long, sophisticated pieces, merely to exclude the friends of Mr. Adams from your paper, and to disgust your subscribers. Are not these very pieces republished in the Au- rora? Does the Aurora publish with liberality, abuse against Mr. Jefferson, or panegyrics on Mr. A- dams? No—that paper is devoted altogether to one side—what right have the anti to both papers, when the federalists have only one? These things are recommended to your serious consideration, by THOUSANDS.

PHOCION—No. XXIV.
ABOUT the beginning of the year 1791, the house of representatives of the United States, re- ferred to the secretary of state, a representation of the legislature of Massachusetts on the decayed state of the cod and whale fisheries. The object of the reference was to cause an enquiry into the real state of the fisheries, and to receive from the secretary, some plan of legislative aid. The representation complained "that the fisheries laboured under many and heavy embarrassments, which, if not removed or lessened, would render them every year less extensive and important, that these embarrassments were, heavy duties on their produce abroad, and bounties on that of their competitors, and duties at home on several articles, particularly used in the fish- eries, and it asked, that those duties might be taken off, that bounties might be given to the fishermen, and the national influence used abroad for obtaining better markets for their produce."
The course to be pursued by the secretary was plain and simple—to inquire into the truth of the representation, and if true, to report some system of legislative aid, either by taking off the duties, or giving bounties, or using the influence of the go- vernment with foreign nations, to procure better markets, or all of these measures.
But instead of following this direct and obvious course, he begins with a long, tedious, and pedantic history of the discovery of Newfoundland by the Cabots, as far back as the year 1519, and a detail of the fishing adventures of the Basques and Biscay- ans, and Bas Bretons, more than two centuries ago, with the rise and progress of the French, Spanish, and Portuguese fisheries, from the year 1519, to the time of the report, all of which, tho' no doubt faithfully copied from books of authority, were as uninteresting to the impatient fishermen, as they were useless to congress.
After thus torturing the patience of the house and the feelings of the fishermen, he might at least have concluded with recommending something pra- ctical, practicable and effectual. But, after all his sym- pathetic lamentations about the deplorable state of the fishermen, and his settled conviction of the im- portance of the cod fishery, what does he conclude with recommending?—"that fish might constitute a part of the military rations, and a part of the ne- cessary sea stores of vessels, and that private individu- als might be encouraged to let the fisherman share with the cultivator, in furnishing the supplies of the table," for adds he, "a habit, introduced from motives of taste." Having made this notable dis- covery to save the fisheries from ruin, he exclaims, with patriotic enthusiasm, "and who will under- take to fix limits to this demand, if it can be once excited, with a nation, which doubles, and will long continue to double, at very short periods?"
The secretary might have strengthened his argu- ment very considerably, if he had had all his wits a- bout him at the time; he might have shewed that the very eating of fish would have promoted popu- lation—that the more fish was consumed, the more people there would be to eat fish, and thus by a hap- py joint operation of cause and effect, the consu- mers of fish at home would continue to increase in a compound ratio.
Having hit upon this very notable substitute for for- eign markets, he passes over slightly the main ob- jects which the fishermen had in view, and which had been the essential points of the reference; in respect to these, he merely observes, "that it will rest with the wisdom of the legislature to decide, whe- ther any, and which of the naval and other duties may be remitted, or an equivalent given to the fish- erman in the form of a drawback or bounty: in re- spect to that which was the most material part of the reference, he gives no opinion, but leaves it where it was before, to the wisdom of congress. The fish- ermen pray that heavy duties may be taken off, or bounties given, or better markets procured abroad by treaty; and the secretary, instead of reporting whe- ther any and what duties ought to be taken off, what would be the effect of so doing, as it concern- ed the public revenue, what substitutes might sup-
ply the deficiency, whether it was constitutional to grant bounties, and if so, whether it would be ex- pedient, what nations we might negotiate with to obtain better markets, cautiously avoids all these to- pics of governmental interposition and aid, and gravely recommends that, which the government could not meddle with, to convert all the people of the United States into Ichthyophagites, or eaters of fish. The fishermen pray for some legislative succour to the secretary—he acknowledges that they will be ruined without some immediate legislative aid, and yet instead of recommending any, informs congress, that if individuals in the United States can be encouraged to eat fish, from patriotic motives, as the nation doubles in short periods, the demand at home must in progress of time be very great!
Congress, however, wisely conceiving, that the learned anecdotes about the Basques, Biscayans and Bas Bretons, and the distant prospect of a great domestic consumption, from a future doubling of our population, were but fancy means of succour for the poor starving fishermen; devised some im- mediate relief, which, tho' promising, from the best information, to be cheap and effectual, was, under a pretence of its unconstitutionality, warmly opposed, in a debate of several days, by the very friends of the Secretary. This opposition at once, accounted for the Secretary's caution, in evading the points refer- red to him by congress, and urging with an affect- ed zeal for the welfare of the fisheries, that which he knew to be as delusive, as it was ridiculous and puerile.
The foregoing sketches apply to that part of the report which relates to the cod fishery. When the secretary comes to treat of the whale fishery, it furnishes him with some materials whereon to build his favorite system of hostility towards Eng- land, and partiality for France, (from whence he had returned but the preceding year) he is more particular and decided in his recommendation. Af- ter stating, that the remission of duties would stand on the same ground as in respect to the cod fishery, that is, relying on the wisdom of congress, he pro- ceeds to the subject of foreign markets, and informs congress, that France is the only market for our common oils; that, although there was an interest in that country soliciting the exclusion of our oils, yet we might hope, that the government of France would view us, not as rivals, but as co-operators a- gainst a common rival; and that friendly arrange- ments with France would long secure to us this re- source. Full of this object, so near his heart, he then deviates from the subject of the fisheries altogether, to make a pompous statement of the great amount of our general exports of American pro- ductions to that country—a statement which sub- sequent information shewed to be extremely fallacious. He then states, that England is the market for the greater part of our spermaceti oil; but, to counter- act this circumstance, adds, "that the tenure by which we hold the admission of this commodity in their markets, is as precarious as it is hard;" tho' in truth, in was, at least, as likely to be durable, as the tenure by which, from his own account, we hold the admission into the French market, where he had stated, "that there was a particular (and, he might have added, a powerful) interest perpetu- ally soliciting the exclusion of our oils."
Growing still warmer on his favorite topic, he adds, "Nor can it be announced, that there is any disposition on the part of England to arrange this or any other commercial matter, to mutual conven- ience; the ex parte regulations which they have be- gun, for mounting their navigation on the ruin of ours, can only be opposed by counter regulations on our part."
However reluctant the secretary had been to give any positive advice to congress, respecting the es- sential aid which the cod-fishery required, content- ing himself with leaving that to their wisdom; yet, here, his zeal for counter regulations against Great- Britain, overcomes his diffidence, and he plainly and pointedly advises decisive and important measures. Though evidently indifferent about the prosperity or distress of the fishermen, yet he is ready to seize on the interests and passions of the New-Englanders, and embody them on his side, against their sup- posed enemy, Great-Britain. But these prudent pe- ople, too wile to be caught in such a snare, and too well acquainted with the true interests of their country, were almost unanimously opposed to Mr. Jefferson's plan of counter-regulations, which he afterwards more fully developed, when circum- stances promised a more successful result. It was not a little surprising that he should, thus early, have complained of the disinclination of Great-Britain to meet us in commercial arrangements. Mr. Je- fferson had not been many months in office under the new government, which was then but in its in- fancy, and it was known that Great-Britain was about to send a minister to this country, who in- deed arrived here within a few months after this complaint.
Anxious as was the secretary, thus early, to sow the seeds of commercial hostility against Great- Britain, some facts incautiously escaped from his pen, in this report, of so unfavourable a complexion to France, that he took special care, in his commercial report, to pass them by in silence, tho' they were full as relevant to the subject, as those he then detailed respecting the rival nation. Thus, in page 5, he says, "the navigation of France, from being the most economical, was become the most ex- pensive of any nation." This is the navigation, in favour of which, he recommends in his commercial report, the exclusion of British vessels. In the same page he tells us, that, though the fisheries of the United States were annihilated during the war, and their markets in the Mediterranean and British America lost, yet their produce was valued in those of France. In page 9, he tells us, that, at this crit- ical time, when the fishermen of the United States, left without recourse by the loss of their markets, began to think of accepting an invitation from G- Britain, and removing, some to Nova-Scotia, and others to England, the government of France, not inattentive to these proceedings, endeavoured to prevent this emigration of our fishermen, by pro- mising, that our friends in France would do some- thing for them; but that, instead of doing any- thing to induce them to stay in the United States, the government of France, injudiciously, and contrary
* Page 7, report.

to the wishes and intention of the generous La Fayette , seduced our fishermen to go and settle in Dunkirk, by offering them a bounty of ten dollars a ton on their vessels, besides other advantages. In page 10, he tells us, that soon after this plan of seduction, France shut her ports to all foreign fish oils—an exclusion which palsied our fishery ; that they afterwards opened their ports to the produce of our whale fisheries, continuing however their endeavours to recover a share in this fishery themselves, by the aid of our fishermen, having then one hundred and fifty Americans on board the seventeen French vessels employed in both fisheries.
There is one further remark which presents itself on examining this report.—In stating the disadvantages which would attend our loss of the fisheries, the Secretary mentions, the injury to our navigation, and the consequent dependance on the carriage of other nations: "We should lose," says he, "during an European war, the carriage for belligerent powers, which the neutrality of our flag would render an incalculable source of profit ;" and yet, in this very report, he advises hostile measures—yet, in his commercial report, he repeats this advice with greater zeal, and in his general political conduct, he has been always promoting measures, the unequivocal object of which was, to enlist us on the side of France during the present war, and thus compel us to relinquish the neutrality of our flag, this incalculable source of profit to the United States .

NEW-YORK, November 18.
[The following is from the Argus .]
By Capt. Harris we received our regular file of the Morning Post , to the 10th October inclusive from which we hasten to abstract the following important articles—
Army of the Sambre and Meuse.
That in their retreat, they did not lose more than 6,000 men, in killed, wounded, prisoners, sick, and desertions, had a reinforcement of 16 to 18,000 men, made a stand at Neuwied, and Sieg, after crossing it. That from the 16th to the 23rd September, there were continual fightings, with alternate success.
That the French re-crossed the Sieg, and advanced on the 23rd.
That on the 26th general Kleber attacked and beat the Austrians on the Sieg, and the whole army was advancing . That on the 24th general Bourdonville and general Jourdan were at Isenberg.
General Bourdonville commands the centre from Neuwied to Dierdorf; the advanced guard by general Castelveld at Rommersdorf.
Rhine and Moselle.
That Moreau had caused 25,000 men to retreat towards Nuremberg and the Rhine, to divert prince Charles from Jourdan. That Moreau had also a body of 50,000 men, with which he bid defiance to the Austrians.
Army of Italy.
That general Buonaparte continued victorious—many bloody battles had been fought, in one of which general Wurmsler saved himself and small suite, by flying into Mantua, where they and 20,000 more are shut up.
Much pains was and is taken to deceive the public on the subject of the continental armies.
PEACE.
That the overtures on the part of England to the French republic have all fallen through.
Admiral Gardner did not go to Newfoundland, but off Rochfort, in search of Richery, and not finding him, returned to his station off Brest.
The late hour at which we received the London papers does not admit of enlarging—to-morrow copious extracts will be given.
Captain Bunke, three other cabin, and steerage passengers, came in the Fame .
CONFLAGRATION.
About six o'clock last evening a fire broke out in one of the houses of the range of wooden buildings in Barley-street, directly in front of the new almshouse, and communicated to the adjoining houses with such rapidity, that before any material assistance could be had, four or five of the range (which consisted of ten or twelve) were in flames, when it raged in a manner that bid defiance to the assembled citizens with all their activity and skill. The whole range, except two houses, were entirely reduced to ashes in one hour, besides several small out buildings. By the most daring bravery of the
firemen, in entering the easternmost house but one, which was in flames, with their hoses, this tremendous element was stopped in its fierce career, and those two houses saved. It is said, that the fire caught by the shavings being left in a careless manner, while the workmen supped.
We learn, that the buildings were the property of Mr. Henry Kip and brother, Mr. Robert Snow, Mr. Wilkins, the composition manufacturer, a Mr. Smith and others—that five of them were finished—that the two which were saved were tenanted, and that the tenants happily saved their furniture.
How many more sad catastrophes do our rich fellow-citizens require to convince them, that brick and stone are cheapest in the end—How long before carpenters will be more careful of their fires in new buildings.
Captain Harris brought dispatches for the President of the United States, which were immediately lodged in the Post-Office.
[From the Daily Advertiser.]
Last evening arrived the ship FAME , Capt. HARRIS, in 34 days from London and 30 from the Land's End, bringing papers to the 11th October, from which we have extracted the following—
LONDON, October 5.
It was understood on change, that his majesty's speech, as finally prepared in the cabinet yesterday, is extremely guarded, and holds out neither peace nor war, the consequence of which was a fall of Rocks. It was expected that the speech would at least hold out such a narrative of the attempts made by his majesty to commence a negotiation as would have inspired confidence in the dispositions of the court towards peace. If we may draw any argument from the impression made in the alley by the reports brought down yesterday afternoon, this is by no means the case: the speech is to be smooth and inoffensive—exactly such a speech as Mr. Wilberforce would make to the manufacturers of Leeds—sufficiently consoling to raise their petition for peace, but not promising enough to set their looms to work.
From the London Morning Chronicle.
Monday, October 10.
We yesterday received the Paris papers up to Friday last, the 7th inst. inclusive. These papers are extremely barren in point of intelligence from the armies, which, however, our readers will find detailed at length. The directory has published an official declaration, that the disastrous retreat of general Jourdan, notwithstanding all the reports that have been made by their enemies, has not cost the republic 6,000 men, comprehending killed, wounded, deserters, prisoners and sick, and that his army, which has been reinforced from 16 to 18,000 fresh troops is to resume an attitude which shall prove, that though the French may experience a check, they can never be vanquished. The article adds, that the rumours which have been spread of a new requisition of men of a certain age, are false; that nothing can give the slightest foundation to such a report, that on the contrary, their successes, the losses of their enemies, the defeat of Wurmsler in Italy, the different treaties of peace already made this year, as well as those which they have the well founded expectation yet to make, would render any recruit of the armies not only useless but hurtful.
Such is the account which the directory has thought it expedient to give to the republic. Our readers will subject it to the test of probability, and comparing it with the report of the German gazettes, and with the well known fact of the retreat of the army of the Sambre and Meuse for so immense a distance, and of the number of battles they had to sustain, will judge of the truth or falsehood of the statement. In the mean time, all that the Paris papers state of the actual operations of this army seems to be taken from the Brussels gazettes, by which it appears that some slight skirmishes have taken place, in which the French have had the advantage, and that general Bourdonville is occupied in restoring discipline to the distracted body.
From the army of Moreau we have not been able to trace a single article in any of the French journals, nor are there any farther accounts from Italy.
The only important article which the French papers contain, is the official notice published by the directory on the measure of the application from the English court for a passport.
October 11.
Business in the House of Commons this day. Report of the vote of the Committee of Supply. Yesterday morning arrived the first of the three Hanburgh mails which were due. The accounts brought by it from the armies on the Rhine and Danube, reach down to the 21st ult. and contain the particulars of the victory obtained by the archduke on the 16th ult. near Limburgh, in consequence of which the French were obliged to recross the Lahn, to abandon their position near Wetzlar, and fall back to the lower Rhine.
On the 21st ult. the Imperialists carried the famous tete-de-pont before Neuwied.
With respect to general Moreau's army, it appears by several letters received by the mail, that the report of this general having detached a considerable corps into Franconia, to turn the archduke, is unfounded; and that about the middle of last month the army of the Rhine and Moselle was divided into three columns, one of which had taken post on the Shellenberg near Donawerth, another near Augsburg, and the third near Füssen. In order to drive them from these positions, generals Nauendorf and Latour were approaching from Bavaria, and field-marshal Petrasch through Suabia; and in general the Austrians, assisted by a very considerable number of armed peasants, were endeavouring to possess themselves of all the strong posts, where they may be most able to obstruct Moreau's retreat. They began on the 18th inst. to bombard Kehl, and seem to be sanguine in their hopes of a speedy reduction of that fortress.
As to the state of affairs in Italy, it would appear by an article inserted in the Vienna court gazette of the 17th ult. that the only object of field marshal Wurmsler's expedition towards Vicenza, Verona and Mantua, was once more to relieve the
latter fortress, in which we know, by Buonaparte's last reports, he has fully succeeded, although with the loss of a great number of men.
A letter from Stockholm, of the 20th ult. advises, that Mr. Morens, Spanish charge d'affairs at the Swedish court, is expected shortly to leave that place.
THE KING'S SPEECH.
HOUSE OF LORDS, Thursday, October 7.
The King being seated on the Throne in the usual state and the Commons attending, his Majesty delivered the following most gracious speech:
"My Lords, and Gentlemen,
"It is a peculiar satisfaction to me, in the present conjuncture of affairs, to recur to your advice, after the recent opportunity which has been given for collecting the sense of my people, engaged in a difficult and arduous contest, for the preservation of all that is most dear to us.
"I have omitted no endeavours for setting on foot negotiations of peace to Europe, and to secure for the future the general tranquility—the steps which I have taken for this purpose have at length opened the way to an immediate and direct negotiation, the issue of which must either produce the desirable end of a just, honourable and solid peace for us, and for our allies, or must prove, beyond dispute, to what cause alone the prolongation of the calamities of war must be ascribed.
"I shall immediately send a person to Paris with full powers to treat for this object, and it is my anxious wish that this measure may lead to the restoration of general peace; but you must be sensible that nothing can so much contribute to give effect to this desire, as your manifesting that we possess both the determination and the resources to oppose, with increased activity and energy, the further efforts with which we have to contend.
"You will feel this peculiarly necessary at a moment when the enemy has openly manifested the intention of attempting a descent upon these kingdoms. It cannot be doubted what would be the issue of such an enterprise; but it behoves your wisdom to neglect no precautions that may either preclude the attempt, or secure the speediest means of turning it to the confusion and ruin of the enemy.
"In reviewing the events of the year, you will have observed that by the skill and exertions of my navy, our extensive and encreasing commerce has been protected to a degree almost beyond example, and the fleets of the enemy have for the greatest part of the year been blocked up in their own ports.
"The operations in the East and West Indies have been highly honourable to the British arms, and productive of great national advantage; and the valor and good conduct of my forces both by sea and land have been eminently conspicuous.
"The fortune of war on the continent has been more various; and the progress of the French armies threatened, at one period, the utmost danger to all Europe; but from the honourable and dignified perseverance of my ally the Emperor, and from the intrepidity, discipline, and invincible spirit of the Austrian forces, under the auspicious conduct of the Archduke Charles, such a turn has lately been given to the course of the war, as may inspire a well grounded confidence, that the final result of the campaign will prove more disastrous to the enemy than its commencement and progress for a time were favourable to their hopes.
The apparently hostile dispositions and conduct of the Court of Madrid have led to discussions of which I am not yet enabled to acquaint you with their result; but I am confident that whatever may be the final issue, I shall have given to Europe a further proof of my moderation and forbearance; and I can have no doubt of your determination to defend, against every aggression, the dignity, rights and interests of the British Empire.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
"I rely on your zeal and public spirit for such supplies as you may think necessary for the service of the year. It is a great satisfaction to me to observe that, notwithstanding the temporary embarrassments which have been experienced, the state of the commerce, manufactures and revenue of the country, proves the real extent and solidity of our resources, and furnishes you such means as must be equal to any exertions which the present crisis may require.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"The distresses which were in the last year experienced from the scarcity of corn, are now, by the blessing of God, happily removed, and an abundant harvest affords the pleasing prospect of relief in that important article to the labouring classes of the community. Our internal tranquility has also continued undisturbed:—The general attachment of my people to the British constitution, has appeared on every occasion, and the endeavours of those who wished to introduce anarchy and confusion into this country, have been repressed by the energy and wisdom of the laws.
"To defeat the designs of our enemies—to restore to my people the blessings of a secure and honorable peace—to maintain inviolate their religion, laws, and liberty—and to deliver down, unimpaired, to the latest posterity, the glory and happiness of these kingdoms, is the constant wish of my heart, and the uniform end of all my actions. In every measure that can conduce to these objects, I am confident of receiving the firm, zealous, and affectionate support of my parliament."

SIR,
A number of the merchants of this city, together with the directors of the insurance companies of North-America and Pennsylvania, impressed with a high sense of your humane and generous conduct, in rescuing the passengers and crew of the ship Aurora , from inevitable death, as well as for your disinterested behaviour after having landed them, have requested us to present you, in their names, with a piece of plate, of the value of four hundred dollars—We hope you will accept of it, as a mark of the respect and approbation of your fellow-citizens.
We are, with esteem,

Philadelphia, 19th Nov. 1796.
GENTLEMEN,
I am honored with your letter of this day, presenting to me on behalf of the Merchants and Insurance offices of Philadelphia, a piece of plate, as a mark of their approbation of my conduct toward the passengers and crew of the ship Aurora —I felt sufficient satisfaction, in the reflection of having been instrumental in saving the lives of fellow-men, who would otherwise have perished; but as public notice has in Europe, been taken of my conduct on that occasion, it is particularly grateful to my feelings, that my own country has considered it deserving of remembrance, and even a reward, which I accept with every sensation that such distinguished honor naturally excites.
I am with the highest respect,
Gentlemen,
Your most obliged, and
Most obedient Servant,
JOHN HODGE,
Master of the Ship Sedgley .
To Messieurs Thos. Fitzsimons, Conyngham, Nesbitt and Co. and William Cramond, Merchants, Philadelphia.
COMMUNICATION.
We learn from good authority, that the governor hath this day determined not to issue his proclamation, relative to the election of electors, until Wednesday—notwithstanding his honor had previously assured different gentlemen, at different times, that he would certainly promulge it in Brown's paper this afternoon. We understand, that the reason of this change of promise, arises from the opinions of the judges Shippen, Yeates, Smith and Biddle of this morning, "That the governor may by the laws delay it unto that day." To ensure the good will of both parties, his honor declared in the fullest manner, his determination not to publish the proclamation even then, if the express now sending off for the legal returns of Northumberland and Lycoming, should not be received by that day—in order, to use his honor's own expression, "that fair play may be done on both sides."

TO BE SOLD, A LEASE for 99 years, from the 25th March next, in that capital and beautiful FARM, called  PROSPECT-HILL, Situated within one quarter of a mile from the Brandywine Mills, and half a mile from the borough of Wilmington.  THE dwelling house is built of stone, two stories high, gently finished, and contains four handsome rooms on a floor, besides an entry, with capital garrets, and convenient cellars. It is generally thought to command the most agreeable prospect of the Delaware, from the force of that river to the Cape. This prospect is greatly embellished by a full view of a vast body of meadow, through which the Christians and Brandywine creeks are seen winding in beautiful meanders. Near the house is a kitchen, a spacious stone stable and hay loft, a barn, a carriage house, milk-house, &c. and a well of pure water as any on the continent. The garden contains an acre and quarter of land, abounding with fruit, and particularly with peach trees, of the very best kind, brought from Maryland, and in full bearing. There is, moreover, on the place, a young, apple orchard beginning to bear, and several old trees that produce in abundance, besides cherry and other ornamental trees, in great numbers. The farm consists of near sixty acres of land, of good quality, and clear of incumbrances, except taxes, twenty of which are now in excellent clover and timothy, and ten more will be ready for sowing next spring. A residence of nearly 8 years has convinced the subscriber that the situation is remarkably healthy. The great post road from Philadelphia to the Southward runs within seventy yards of the house. In a word, the beauties and convenience of this situation cannot be enumerated. In an advertisement, and when examined, will probably command the attention of any person who is desirous of living at one of the most elegant country seats on the continent. The purchaser may enter on the premises next spring, or perhaps, this fall, if application be immediately made to Doctor NICHOLAS WAY, in Philadelphia, to Doctor WHARTON, on the premises, or, in his absence, to Mr. GEORGE TRUITT, in Wilmington.  A quantity of excellent Hay, Grain in the ground, some Stock, &c. may be had by the purchaser at the time of sale.  Nov. 7. eosif

SWANN'S,  Riding School, Horse Academy & Infirmary. Adjoining the Public Square, Market Street.  T. SWANN RETURNS his sincere thanks to those gentlemen by whom he has been employed, during his residence in this City, and flatters himself that the success of his efforts, in the numerous, obstinate and dangerous diseases in Horses, in which he has been consulted, together with his moderate charges, will secure their future favors and recommendation.  He now begs leave to inform them and the public at large that his spacious and commodious premises, erected for the purposes above described are open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who wish to be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, so as to ride them with ease, elegance and safety—their noses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the rider; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which providence has so bountifully bestowed on them.  Also, at his hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience.  The utility of the above institution has never been questioned, it has long been wanted in this city; every gentleman who had witnessed it, and T. Swann as the first establisher of the veterinary art, solicits and relies upon the support of that public (which he is ever anxious in serving) to enable him to bring it to perfection. The idea of a subscription for that purpose has been hinted by several gentlemen, who wish to promote the institution—the amount of each subscription to be returned by services in any of the departments he professes, agreeable to the rate of charges stated in his hand bill. Such subscription is now open, and the signatures of many respectable gentlemen already obtained. He therefore informs his friends and such Ladies and gentlemen to whom he has not the honor of being known, that he shall in a few days take the liberty of waiting upon them and soliciting their support and protection.  N. B. Horses are properly prepared for those Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to be instructed.  Nov. 5. tthdef.

STOP THE THIEVES!!! LAST Wednesday Evening, October 19, between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock, the bed-room of Mr. Ricketts in O'Eller's hotel was entered, either by means of false keys, or at the window, by some villain or villains, who must have been acquainted with the situation of the house (as the door was found locked after they had committed the theft) who took away from amongst several trunks, ONE which contained a valuable part of Mr. Rickett's property, but of which he is not yet able to ascertain the contents particularly. After bringing the said trunk away, and emptying it of upwards of a thousand dollars in cash and bank notes, the villains left it behind the curtains, during the time that the performances of the evening were going forward.  It is earnestly requested, that all tavern-keepers on the stage roads, and the ferry houses, as well as all civil officers, may be watchful in securing suspicious persons, who may have a redundancy of cash, which their appearance would by no means bespeak them to be possessed of.  One Hundred Dollars Reward Will be given for securing the thief or thieves, and a further reward for securing them with the property.  Oct. 12. a
