THAT it is to be said on such terms, that the purchaser need not advance any cash, unless he pleases, till it is earned by my services, provided no accident happens me; or, if you please, I am to be farmed out for two years, and not less. I am a bright bay, full 15 hands high, of noble descent, my name is TRIMMER—I was got by Hall's imported horse Eclipse, my dam, purchased by Doctor Hall, was got by the imported horse Slim; my grand dam was got by Old Figure; my great grand dam by Talkers Othello out of Selima, &c. &c. as will more fully appear by William Lyle's attested certificate who raised me. My character as a racer is well established; I won the colt's purse at Bladesburg of twenty guineas; I won a fifty guinea purse at Baltimore, a fifty guinea purse at Annapolis and a fifty guinea purse at Hagerstown. I never lost a race but the last I ran at Alexandria, which was owing to my being badly loaded, as I lost all my plates before I got in. I am in fine plight, found in every respect; my offspring are in great repute, some of which are now in training for the turf—procure me good stands and entertainment and I am able to earn one thousand dollars per annum. Any person inclining to buy or rent may know the terms by applying to John Carnan (Lovehall) Cecil county and state of Maryland, eight miles south of Elkton. feb. 21. d6w

STATE-ISLAND,
26th March, 1799.
THE captain and passengers of the ship Thomas Wilson, think themselves under infinite obligations to Major Jackson, for his kind visit and assiduous report of several of the crew dying on the passage, and the rest in a very sickly state: which we declare to be false; and to satisfy the minds of the inhabitants of Philadelphia, do certify, that the entire cargo now on board has been landed, and lay four months in a magazine at Kingston since the last man died on board; and during the present voyage there has not been a sick man on board, except the captain, which illness the physicians declare to be a relapse from cold, and is now perfectly recovered.
Thomas A. Jones, Thomas Williams, W. Brown, J. H. Bailey, R. J. Gravelle.
Mr. Brown,
In refutation of the preceding false and indecent statement, by the captain and passengers of the ship Thomas Wilson, which appeared in your paper of last evening, you are desired to publish the following facts. W. JACKSON. Philadelphia, March 29, 1799.
On the afternoon of Friday last, major Jackson, surveyor of the port, in company with captains Roach and Ahmead, two of the inspectors, went on board the ship Thomas Wilson, then at anchor in the river Delaware, about three miles above Chester.
Immediately on entering the vessel they were all affected by a very offensive smell which appeared to proceed from between decks. Enquiring after the health of the people on board, John Hoover and Philip Tear, two of the barge's crew, were informed by the pilot and the people of the ship, that several persons who belonged to her when she failed from Philadelphia had died—and the pilot told John Hoover, that all the crew had died excepting the man who stood in the waist of the ship.
When major Jackson and captains Roach and Ahmead entered the round house they found the captain sick, with his head bound up; on being asked what ailed him, the captain answered that he had been ill of a bad fever in Jamaica, and had a relapse on the passage.
Alarmed at such evidence of some malignant disorder being on board, the surveyor and inspectors left the ship. The pilot declaring to captain Roach that he would not bring her up until she had been visited by the physician.
As the custom-house barge did not reach the city until 12 o'clock at night, the surveyor could not report the ship at the health office until Saturday morning, when, to his astonishment, he perceived her anchored abreast of the city, the having come up without being visited—and the captain and passengers were on shore.
Information being given at the health office, the resident physician, Dr. Hall, went on board in the custom-house boat, and, on his report, and the opinions of Dr. Duffield, consulting physician, and Mr. Allen, the health-officer, who also went on board, the ship was ordered to be immediately taken down the river to perform quarantine—and the captain and passengers, as appears from the date of their publication, have been sent to the hospital.
We declare the foregoing facts to be truly stated.
William Jackson, Isaac Roach, Benjamin Ashmead, John Hoover, Philip Tear.
Sworn and subscribed before me, this 29th day of March, 1799.
ROBERT WHARTON, mayor.
I do further declare, that when Doctor Hall returned from visiting the ship, he stated expressly to me, "that it was very improper he should have come up"—and he afterwards told me, that the Captain informed him that his first attack of the fever had been while he was at Petit Guave, that he had been again attacked in Jamaica—and that he had relapsed at sea. Dr. Hall added to me, that it was the yellow fever of which the Captain was sick. And yet these gentlemen have offered their certificate, "to satisfy the minds of the inhabitants of Philadelphia!" a certificate, which, as far as it was intended to imply any misrepresentation on my part I again state to be scandalously false and indecent. W. JACKSON.
It is due to Messrs. Reed and Ford, the owners of the ship Thomas Wilson, to say, that they have disavowed any knowledge of the publication by the captain and passengers.
We regret that the assault which was made on the Editor of this paper yesterday, by one of the United Irishmen, prevented us from annexing the remarks, which we intended, to the publication, signed by the captain and four passengers of the ship Thomas Wilson, which, as we then conceived, very illiberally reflected on Major Jackson, for his official visit on board of that ship, and, as we are since assured, was untrue as it was indecent. We are too well assured of that gentleman's adherence to truth, to believe him capable of any mitigation; but the fact is, that the vessel was ordered to perform quarantine, after an inspection by the physician of the port. Major Jackson's information only went to state what the master of the vessel had himself declared, that
he had been attacked by a bad fever in Jamaica, of which he had had a relapse at sea. The information respecting the death of one of the crew was given to the people of the custom-house boat, and was reported by them.
We confide our obligations, in common with our fellow-citizens, to Major Jackson, for whatever influence his opinions may have had, in procuring the ship Thomas Wilson, together with her captain and passengers, (who, contrary to law, had landed without being visited by the Port Physician) to be remanded to perform quarantine. P. G.
Our Tars Rewarded !!! The Editors of the United Irish Gazette, are daily charging the gallant Truxton, and his brave officers and crew, with premeditated murder, in return for their noble conduct in the capture of a piratical cruiser, which had committed innumerable hostilities on our commerce.—In what other country would such conduct be suffered? P. G.
ANECDOTE.
On the 10th of August 1778, Count D'Estaing, with his fleet passed before the British batteries at Newport, and there was a brisk cannon on both sides. Many of the shot struck in the town and the inhabitants were in great consternation. A shot entered the door of the house of Mrs. Mason, a widow lady, a little above the floor. As the family were passing from room to room, not knowing where the next shot might strike, young Mr. Mason passing through the entry, found a negro sitting with his back against the shot-hole in the door; on being asked why he sat there, he answered, "Master, you never know two shot to go in the same place." Under this idea he was tranquil.

LAW REPORTS.
ATTORNEYS.
Mr. Wood moved the Court for a rule to show cause why an Attorney, whom he did not name, should not be struck off the roll, or answer the matters of the affidavit. The circumstances of this case was shortly these. The servant of a grocer in the country having received some bodily injury while in his master's service, applied to a surgeon, who soon cured him; for which he brought in a small bill of 16s. 6d. which the servant's master refused to pay. The surgeon sued him in a Court Baron, and the attorney, against whom this application was made, was employed by the grocer to defend the action. Before the day of trial, the attorney, together with his client, called upon a woman who was to give evidence for the plaintiff, and asked her what she would swear on the trial. She told him she would swear she heard the defendant promise to pay the surgeon. They asked her if she did not recollect that the defendant only said HE WOULD SEE HIM PAID, but that would not do, and after several unsuccessful attempts to make this woman commit perjury, they at length prevailed on her not to attend the trial. The attorney gave her a guinea, and his client half a guinea. The Steward, in consequence of her absence, postponed the trial of the cause, on the plaintiff's paying the costs of the day, and this attorney, who had bribed this woman to keep out of the way, had the audacity to oppose putting off the trial to a future day. The Steward, however, put it off on paying the costs.
Lord Kenyon—"Take a rule to show why this attorney should not answer the matters of the affidavit. He is the defendant a man of property? We cannot get at him by the summary process of the court."
Mr. Justice Grose—"I am glad this motion has been made. These applications, endeavoring to find out what adverse witnesses have to say, have grown to a most enormous evil."—Rule to show cause granted.

COMMUNICATIONS.
It is submitted to the citizens of Philadelphia, whether the outrage lately committed, does not point out the necessity of some immediate measures for the protection of our persons, from the abuse and influence of the banditti with which our city is infested. The patriotic citizens who march to Northampton, look for the safety of their parents, wives and children at the hand of those who remain behind.
It is not said that Alexander James Dallas, privy counsellor of the Governor, will be appointed paymaster to the army in this march against insurrection. The Governor's co-operation is not yet requested.
What will the citizens of Philadelphia yet suffer ere they route from their lethargy to a sense of the danger which threatens them? Their Temples of worship are profaned; their fellow citizens threatened, beaten, assassinated; even their houses, which the law professes to hold sacred, afford them no protection. And by whom are these enormities committed? For shame Philadelphia! Be not thus awed by a handful of foreign renegades. Apprehend them, and let them be subjected to the penalties of the law.
One of the fellows who made the assault on the Editor of the Philadelphia Gazette, has been discovered; and proves to be no less a character than the pilfering fabricator of Gazettes, &c.—the same whom Dr. Mork detected in an attempt to palm on the public, as the fruits of his own labor and ingenuity, the scientific researches of another man!
A citizen proposes that, in the event of the volunteer corps being ordered to quell the insurrection at Northampton, an armed association should be immediately formed to protect the city against the United Irishmen and other freebooters, who are still tolerated among us.
The late extraordinary attack upon Mr. Brown, is an occurrence which ought to bring our citizens to reflect upon their real situation. It is an occurrence which must prove beyond a doubt, if proof be still necessary, that there exists in the midst of us, a combination of men, linked together by the most flagitious principles, and in pursuit of the vilest and most abandoned purposes. Though the proofs which have already been presented to us, are amply sufficient to render this manifest, they appear to have been strangely disregarded by those whose interests are most nearly concerned in the discovery. One would imagine that the scenes which Ireland, within a twelvemonth past, has exhibited, in consequence of the principles and practices of the United Irishmen, would chill with horror our citizens, when they know that within the bosom of their country are contained many of the persons who have been agents, distinguished agents too, in these dreadful transactions. If barely a view of these scenes is calculated to excite such sentiments, what must be our feelings when we see them actually begun to be put in practice among us? When we see these very persons openly violating our laws; when, in defiance of the principles of order and morality, we see them profaning the Sabbath with violence and outrage, and at last, inflicting a most atrocious injury upon one of our fellow-citizens, is it not time for us to be alarmed, and to be upon our guard against their future operations? Will any one have the folly to imagine that an United Irishman, by quitting his country, forsakes the detestable principles he has there put in practice? If any one should think so, let him look, not barely upon the general tenor of their conduct, but upon the open avowal they have made of their undeviating adherence to them. Let him look over the toasts they have drunk upon St. Patrick's day, and he will see that the resistance they have met with, and the victory that has been obtained over them in the theatre where they first commenced the exhibition of those principles, has only served to rivet them more closely in their hearts; their disappointment has only served to give them additional astuteness and rancour. It then, as appears from their conduct, they are only waiting for opportunity to practice upon those principles in this country, what is our security that we shall not here have a counterpart of what has been passing in Ireland? With the possibility of such a most direful event hanging over us, is it not right that the people should
be alarmed? is it not the duty of every one to point out to them their danger? If, after having it shown to them, they will take no measures to guard against it, but will still continue to go on in the same stupid security they have hitherto manifested, they must themselves be responsible for the consequences that may ensue. As their's has been the indifference and inattention, so must also the suffering be their's.
A letter was yesterday morning received from Northampton, stating, that on Monday last, Mr. Balliot, one of the collectors of the revenue, was attacked on his return from Bethlehem and severely beaten, so as to make it necessary to send to Bethlehem for a physician. The letter does not give particulars, but it was supposed that this outrage was committed by some of the insurgents.
We also learn, that a company of Light Infantry met at Lower Socken on Monday last, but the object of the meeting was not known to our informant.
A meeting of another body of men was to be held at Milford, but for what purpose we could not learn.
From the best information we can obtain on the subject, it is probable the march of the troops from this city for Northampton, will take place about Wednesday next. Various detachments of regular troops are ready on their march thither; these it is supposed, will form a body of about five hundred men. (A. D. A.)
A Company of Marines, under the command of Lieutenant EDWARDS, arrived in town on Monday last, from Baltimore.
Carlsruhe, March 19, '99.

The Constitutional Gazette; AND Republican Courier.
The Subscriber respectfully offers to the Public, proposals for a Newspaper, under the title of the Constitutional Gazette; and Republican Courier. It is intended to be published three times a week in the city of Philadelphia; viz. on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening. The subscription will be five dollars per annum, half to be paid by subscribers in the city when called for. The difficulty of collecting small sums in the country, renders it necessary to ask the subscription, out of the city, to be paid in advance, or the name of a person in Philadelphia who will pay them regularly.
Although the proposed Newspaper will be of a smaller size than the ordinary sheets now generally in use, it will contain as much as the generality of the daily Gazettes. It is expected that a very small portion of it will be occupied by advertisements, which will occasion an unusual quantity of intelligence and information. It will be published in the quarto form, and regularly paged, to render it convenient for binding in volumes, to each of which an index will be attempted.
The principles intended to be supported, are those of the Federal and State Constitutions. The friends of the tranquility, peace and happiness of this country, may rely on a calm, decent and firm adherence to those valuable Republican codes. The Editor is unwilling to make large promises, but he assures his friends and the public, that he has ground to rely on important literary and political contributions from various sources. Without such an expectation, he would not have undertaken at this time, to publish a new Gazette. He believes the Press to be the noblest instrument in the command of Freemen, and he flatters himself that The Constitutional Gazette will not be found among the most exceptionable, nor among the least useful.
Subscriptions are received by the different booksellers, and at the subscriber's office, No. 90, South Third street, at which place the Weekly Magazine continues to be published. EZEKIEL FORMAN. Philadelphia, March 23d, 1799.
