1st. PRAY Gentlemen, is a perfect standard of discount, or interest, calculated on every dol- lar (without exception) from 1 to 1000, from one day to sixty-four days inclusive, of any value, whether used as a standard, or as a check upon the enquirer's own calculations.
2d. Is it of any importance to know the best methods of computing the exchanges, be- tween this country and the principal mar- itime trading place in Russia, Sweden, Den- mark, Norway, Prussia, Poland, Germany, Holland, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, Italy, in several of the Windward and Leeward West India Islands, and many ports in the East Indies?
3d. Is a table of all the coins and monies of account in the places aforesaid, of any use?
4th. Are the coins and monies of account in the aforesaid places, when reduced to dollars and cents, of any service?
5th. Is a table of compound interest of any utility?
6th. Is the table by which the banks determine the value of gold, desirable?
7th. Is the amount of interest, accurately cal- culated for each month from one to twelve months, and on every dollar (without excep- tion) from 1 to 1000, of any value?
8th. Is a table of all the post-towns in the United States, and a list of postage therewith, of any use?
9th. Will not a table together make a book, an generally useful and convenient as ever en- tered a counting house or store?
10th. Will not the whole, when comprised in a quarto volume of from 100 to 225 pages, be worth two dollars?
And lastly, Is the person, who at the expence of FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS un- dertakes to perform upwards of one hundred and sixty thousand calculations of interest, and of giving all the preceding information to the public in the most complete manner, de- serving of your Encouragement and Sup- port?
If the answer is in the affirmative, you are individually and respectfully invited to sub- scribe in one of the specimen books, exhibited at the City Tavern, Hardy's Hotel, Francis's Hotel, the Indian Queen, Dunwoody's Tavern, the Franklin Head, and at the George.

Jusum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vultus instantis tyranni, Mente quait solida.
TRUE AMERICAN.
THE True American is an amphib- ious character, partaking in nearly equal proportions of the Democrat and Federalist : not attached to the low tyrants of France, because they have plundered the American commerce; prejudiced, and stupidly jealous of the English, because the United States once were British colonies; and possessed of as extravagant ideas of independence and autocracy, as the Emperors of Russia or Chi- na. When a Bull roared through the mea- dows, he excited the vanity of a Frog, who, thinking he could swell himself up to an equal size, made the foolish attempt, and burst.
The Democrat hates the British govern- ment with as much justice as a highway- man hates the law, because it has been the champion of religion and social order against the most impious and powerful combination to ruin both, that men ever beheld. The True American is shy of this government, for the same reason as an ingrate skuns his benefactor, or the insolvent his creditor, to whom he owes more than he intends ever to pay.
If the American states continue united, it will be owing to some other cause than the existing strength of their government, or the present virtue of their citizens. Private ambition and state jealousy will oppose every attempt to strengthen the Executive , how- ever necessary; and every attempt will have less, more or less, a dissolution of the union. Feuds and jealousies, aggravated by foreign intrigue, will pave the way to civil wars and all their attendant miseries—and also they may still be called independent states, whe- ther under one or more sovereign heads, they will always be wretchedly dependent on the superior influence of foreign politics. As long as we affect to be completely inde- pendent of the great maritime powers of Europe, we shall alternately be the sport and victim of each. Their politics and ours will all be taken from the profligate pages of Machiavel.
It will require centuries to establish a na- tional character, or to create a national spi- rit in the United States of America. The mixture is too heterogeneous: it is com- pounded of too many foul ingredients, to permit any one to be proud of the whole, or to be induced to act on any national principles in individual life. The government is a mere name. To be great, nations, as well as individuals, must be mo- rally good. Any other kind of greatness is like the blaze of a comet, or the eruptions of a volcano—evanescent, though terrible. Fiat justitia, si ruat celum.
From the Reading Weekly Advertiser.
To the FREEMEN of BERKS COUNTY.
Our most excellent, humane, and impar- tial Governor having closed his official (or electioneering) arrangements, as far as re- spects Berks county, by appointing John S. Heilner, Esq., to supercede George Eckert, Esq., as Prothonotary of the Common Pleas and Clerk of the Sessions—and Colonel Peter Frazier to supercede Messrs. Jacob Bower and James Scull, in their offices of Register of Wills, Recorder of Deeds and Clerk of the Orphans Court—I think a few remarks on the propriety of these arrangements will not be amiss. I shall, therefore, in two or three subsequent numbers, according to the room Mr. Jungman has to spare in his paper, enquire how far the Governor is supported by fact in reasons which he has assigned for his conduct and in his assertion that "if his appointments are judged by an impartial test he will be entitled to approbation." He shall be judged by the test of truth , that hug- bear to the Jacobins, and you, my Fellow Citizens shall determine how he stands it. As the Governor acknowledges himself ac- countable to his constituents for his discreet exercise of his power, I shall make no apology for this address except by stating that I am An Independent Elector.
(Copy of the act before mentioned.)
An Act to enable Aliens, in certain Cases, to purchase and hold Real Estate within this Commonwealth.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authori- ty of the same, That from and after the passing of this Act, it shall and may be law- ful for each and every Foreigner or Foreign- ers, Alien or Aliens, not being the Subject or Subjects of some foreign State or Power, which is or shall be, at the time or times of such purchase or purchases, at war with the United States of America, to purchase lands, tenements, and hereditaments within this Commonwealth, and to have and to hold the same, in fee simple , or for any lesser estate, as fully, to all intents and purposes as any natural-born Citizen or Citizens may or can do: Provided always nevertheless, that any Foreigner or Foreigners, Alien or Aliens, shall, previously to such purchase or pur- chases, declare his or their intention to be- come a Citizen or Citizens, agreeably to an act of Congress, entitled, "An Act supple- mentary to and to amend the act entitled, An Act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and to repeal the Act here- tofore passed on the Subject;" passed the
PENNSYLVANIA.
The prosperity of the state of Pennsylvania in the present deranged condition of the world, must attract the attention of the rest of the Union, and excite the religious gratitude of its citizens. It appears by the annual return of exports, ending with Sep- tember last, that there was exported in the year antecedent to Oct. 1, 1799.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That any Foreigner or Foreigners, Alien or Aliens, who has or have already made any bona fide contract of purchase, or received any patent or patents or other deed of conveyance, for or on account of the purchase of any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, within this Commonwealth, may and shall take and hold the same, in fee simple, or for any lesser estate, according to the nature of his, her, or their several respective contracts, patents, or deeds of conveyance, as fully, to all intents and purposes, as any natural-born Citizen or Citizens might or could do; any law, usage, or custom to the contrary thereof in any wise notwithstanding.

"Then certain Philosophers of the Epicureans and Stoicks encountered him."
Attacked by such enemies, St. Paul, I pity thee. Compared with the sophistical jargon of their tongues, the buffoonery of Socrates, the fort of the Stoicks, a feather. Encountered by Philosophers? What a perilous meeting! To be reasoned at Iconium, to die in prison at Philippi, or smart at all her whipping posts, were more tolerable, than to hear one moment the abstract impertinence, the whimsical theories of a cold, and a hot reasoner. His head is the web of a spider, his heart is the ice of Spitzbergen, his plans are the projects of a maniac, and his arguments turbid, as a hypochondriac's dream. If I should be asked, which was the most unlucky adventure in Paul's pilgrimage, I must reply, his interview with the philosophick babblers of Athens. None of his perils, and I think he enumerates eight varieties, compare with the peril of pragmatical philosophy. Ill fated apostle, the Epicureans and the Stoicks, encountering you, were worie company, than the barbarians of Melita, on whose rude coast you were stranded. Your night and day in the deep, your weariness and watchings, your frequent cast, and suspension in the basket of Damascus, even if it were like Falstaff's buck basket, were "light afflictions, but for a moment," to the growl of the Stoick and the lullaby of the Epicurean.
Paul was not singular in this encounter. Personages as grave, as the saint, have been encountered by certain philosophers, in the present age. Yes they have met Common Sense, Morality and Religion. Thank God, they have not routed them.
Hold hold, hasty Lay Preacher; one philosopher has published what he calls "Common Sense." Yes, I remember the book well, and asked that sober matron how the happened, even in 1775, to appear in such disordered attire. 'Twas in a fit of lunacy, when she had escaped from her keepers.
Philosophick encounters are, in effect, often as bloody, as the battles of Buonaparte. One Helvetius, with several associates, many years since, opposed the settled opinions of the French nation. The brain pans, they asserted, of all men were of similar capacity; but some were full, and others empty of education. Here was a rare discovery. Hence all the grades of intelligence. No such thing as a difference in the mental organization. Next, man had no soul. After vegetating a time, he must die, without even a chance for immortality; without even the nine struggles of a cat. Bravo, bellowed the libertines. This is a divine doctrine, this is philosophy. Hawk-eyed philosophy did not stop here. She looked into the Bible, and saw mouldy leaves. She looked up to the skies, and saw nothing. She looked down to the earth, and beheld fishworms, butchers, brewers; and now was the glorious time for maudlin philosophy to see double. They were larger than the life. They were magnified to a "Mountain," they were Citizens Directors, they were Executioners, Jacobins, Fiends, Reader of the writings of the Encyclopedists, believe thou my representation to be just? I know thou believest. I am persuaded thou wilt think with me that all the evils, all the atrocities of the French revolution originated in a false, impious and sacrilegious philosophy.
England has been infested with philosophers as well as France. You may find a minority of philosophers on many a Parliamentary Journal. In the shape of a clergyman you may find them sometimes, but not long, for they are prone to migrate. If such a passenger embarked on our shores you may know him easily. He is a busy and meddling priest. The noisy "Praise God Barebones" of the time. Addresser of deacons and sapper of state pillars. Qualified to write verbose inscriptions for the charnel houses of France, to be her Mater-ia in chief, and to reduce souls to a caxia, like any substance in his chymistry. You may gaze, curious American, at his attrited jaw, and even behold the generous Cock agonized by his electricity, but when he interferes with your government, scowl sovereign contempt on the interloper.
THE LAY PREACHER. Extract of a letter from a mercantile house of the first respectability in London, to their correspondents here, dated March 7, 1800. The following resolution passed both Houses of Parliament yesterday: Resolved, That whenever the average price of wheat and fine wheat flour, as ascertained and published in the London Gazette, under the authority of any act or acts of Par-
liament, shall be less than 90s per quarter of wheat or of such wheaten flour respectively, there shall be given on every quarter of wheat and on every barrel of fine wheaten flour, which shall be imported into Great Britain from any port of Europe, South of Cape Finisterre, or from any port in the Mediterranean, or in Africa, or from any of his Majesty's colonies in America, or the U. States, before the 1st day of October 1800, a bounty equal to the difference between such average prices in the London Gazette, and ninety shillings per quarter of wheat, or barrel of flour respectively."
"That whenever the current price of rice imported into this kingdom, to be ascertained by the price in the London market, shall be less than one pound fifteen shillings per hundred weight, there shall be given on every hundred weight of rice imported into Great Britain before the 1st day of October 1800, a bounty equal to the difference between such average price, and one pound fifteen shillings."
The letter which includes the above, states the average prices of wheat throughout England and Wales, to be 106 shillings per quarter, and rice in London at 46 shillings.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, April 30.
The bill from the Senate supplementary to the act to suspend part of an act entitled An act to augment the army of the United States, and for other purposes, was read a first and second time, and committed to a committee of the whole House.
Mr. Harper, from the committee of Ways and Means, made a further report on the subject of the Revenue, which was committed for Monday.
The House again resolved itself into a Committee of the whole on the report of the Select Committee to whom was referred the bill from the Senate prescribing the mode of deciding disputed Elections of President and Vice-President of the United States—and Mr. Gallatin's motion to strike out that part of the bill which directs the manner in which exceptions taken to votes, shall be decided—and inserting, as a new principle, the following words "and the question on the Exception shall immediately and without debate be taken by ayes and noes, and decided by a majority of Members of both Houses then present"—being under consideration, a long debate ensued, and the question was finally negatived, ayes 44, noes 46. The bill was then gone through with, the Committee rose and the report was ordered to be taken into consideration to-morrow.
A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Otis their Secretary, informing the House that the Senate have passed a bill to amend an act entitled an act to establish the judicial Courts of the United States, to which they request the concurrence of this House.—A message was also received from the Senate to borrow in aid of the public service, without amendment.—Adjourned.
NEW-YORK: April 29.
Capt. Baily, of the sloop Speculator, from Norfolk, informs, that on Thursday last a Duel was fought at Norfolk between a Mr. Dubois and a Mr. Cushing, nephew of Judge Cushing, of New Hampshire, both Midshipmen on board the United States frigate Congress. We are sorry to add, that Mr. Cushing was shot in the neck, and died on the spot. Mr. Dubois went on board the next day; but Capt. Sever, it was reported gave him up to civil authority.

THESPIAN SOCIETY.
Having observed a performance given out at the Old Theatre, South Street, under the title of "The Thespian Panorama," the public are cautioned not to be led there by the name of Thespian, as 'tis evident the intention of this strange cave , in assuming the title, is only to mislead the curious, and thereby gain a crowded house, and consequently exunded pockets . The friends of the members are well assured that the object of the Thespian Society was not emolument. It is therefore hoped that the public will not countenance impostors.

Thespian Panorama.
The members of this society are truly sorry to find that they should, by any means whatever, hurt the feelings of the Thespian Society, by assuming, it seems, their title. But this we must beg leave to observe to them, is a grand mistake, as it was a thought of Mrs. Rowson's own (who is now a member of this society) for her benefit at Mr. Rickett's Circus, in May 1798;—and what they mean by cautioning the public against a gang of impostors, they are perhaps themselves unable to answer; as it can very easily be proved, that Mr. Durang and Mr. Rowson, as well as the rest of the company, have always conducted themselves with the strictest propriety, both in Mr. Rickett's company and others which they have played in; and why the Thespian Society should wish to be so illiberal as to injure and prevent in any degree, honest industry from gaining a livelihood, is only to be answered by illiberal minds. Jno. Durang, Jno. B. Rowson. May 1.

PROPOSALS  By WILLIAM COBBETT, For importing the following periodical publications:   1. The British Critick;  2. The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine;  3. The Gentleman's Magazine;  4. Le Mercure Britanique, or The British Mercury. 
THE British Critick is a regular Review of all the works published in Great Britain; it is conducted with great impartiality and ability, and of the numerous publications of the kind which do now appear, and which have appeared in Great Britain; it is universally allowed to be the best.
[Price 50 Cents.]
The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine is as its title seems to indicate, rather more confined, as to the nature of its subjects, but it certainly is not less calculated for extensive utility. This work is divided into four departments: 1 Original Criticism—2 A Review of the other Reviews—3 Occasional Essays, in prose and verse—and 4, A Monthly Summary of History and Politics. Every six months it has a Supplement, containing a review of foreign works, not forgetting those of America. The Anti-Jacobin dwells less on subjects which are merely literary and scientific, than on those which have a more immediate influence on society. With a bold and masterly hand, it corrects the blunderings of error, traces the intricate windings of misrepresentation, and strips off the mask of hypocrisy. The avowed champion of the church and the state, it spares the enemies of neither, whether open or secret; and, scorning the pusillanimous defensive, upon which the friends of truth have too long acted, it carries on a continual and vigorous offensive warfare against anarchy, immorality, and irreligion, and thus establishes by its uniform conduct, its right to the title it has assumed.
[Price 50 Cents.]
The Gentleman's Magazine , a work stamped with the approbation of three score years, consists chiefly of communications from antiquaries and cultivators, and of original essays, in prose and verse written by the most learned and ingenious men in the kingdom, and embracing by turns, almost every subject interesting to man. The miscellaneous part of the work is followed by a selection of authentic foreign and domestic intelligence, including official reports, state-papers, and an abstract of the proceedings in parliament; next comes a very copious obituary, being not merely a list of deaths, but a valuable series of biography; to which is added, a Meteorological Diary and Table, a Bill of Mortality for London and its environs, a table of the average prices of corn, and of the stocks, & every day in the month: So that this work must ever be an entertaining and useful companion, not only to those who are of the learned professions, commonly so called, but to the merchant, the farmer, and, in short, to every man, whatever may be the subject of his study, or the object of his pursuit.
[Price 40 Cents.]
Le Mercure Britanique, or British Mercury; by Monsieur Mallet Du Pan—This work, of which one number is published every fortnight, in French and in English, commenced in August 1798, and is continued with increasing spirit and celebrity. It is both historical and critical ; it contains a summary, and is the repository, of all the important events, established facts and public instruments, which relate to the present era; it investigates points of fact, of politics, and national rights; it extends its view over all the nations of Europe, examines the conduct and discloses the motives of their respective courts; it is in short a brief and comprehensive history of the times, equally remarkable for the elegance of its style, the profundity of its remarks, and the soundness of its principles.
[Price 50 Cents.]
These four works comprise every thing useful in the periodical way. Gentlemen may subscribe for all, or for either, of them. The first order is intended to be sent off on the 1st of May next; the successive numbers will be received at New York in two months upon an average after, their publication in London; so that those which are subscribed for on or before the 1st of May, will be received in September; after which they will with very little irregularity, come to hand once a month, the importer having made such arrangements as cannot fail of securing punctuality on the part of his correspondents.
Subscriptions will be received from any part of America, by J. W. FENNO, Philadelphia. No advance is required. The prices are but four cents a number higher than in London.
