Whereupon the Board having considered the same, ordered that at least thirty days notice be given in one of the Philadelphia newspapers, and in the Lancaster Journal to the said Collins or his assigns, to appear before the Board on the first Monday in October next to show cause if any he or they have, why patents should not issue for the said two tracts to the said trustees agreeably to the prayer of the said petition.

PHILADELPHIA,
THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 8.
MR. PENNO,
YOR inserting the following letter in your paper will oblige the Committee of Correspondence.
7th Aug. 1799.
SIR,
DEEPLY interested in the approaching election of Governor, the event of which involves almost all that is valuable to Freemen, we deem it our duty to solicit your co-operation in the promotion of JAMES ROSS of Pittsburgh, to that important and responsible station.
Those who wish to preserve the happiness and independence of their country; to suppress the spirit of anarchy and insurrection; to retain the true republican characteristics—equality of rights and subjection to the constitution and laws established; by the will of the whole society, will not hesitate to give their suffrages in favour of a man whom even his enemies find no cause to reproach: A man of mild temper, plain manners and easy access, who unites with the spirit of early life the sound judgment of mature age, who has not betrayed the portion of confidence you have already reposed in him, and has afforded no reason to fear, that in his hands the original spirit of American Liberty will be adulterated by the new and dangerous tenets that divide or desolate the greatest portion of Europe.
To us the present occasion appears to call so loudly for a man of this description that, we flatter ourselves, nothing more is necessary than to establish some convenient mode of co-operation with our Fellow Citizens to give a beneficial direction to our common efforts, and to detect, and, by detecting, defeat the endeavours of those who would wish to impose on the public choice a man already in possession of a dignified and lucrative station, on whose character, notwithstanding some provocation has been given, we shall make no invidious comments, satisfied with observing, that the present times manifestly require rather the vigor, than the decline, of life for great and responsible stations.
In order to accomplish the general system of co-operation a number of Members of the Legislature, with the concurrence of such of their Fellow Citizens as could conveniently attend, suggested the nomination of Committees in the different counties, for the purpose of opening a correspondence with us who were named as a Committee for the city.
It was not expected that this measure would any way interfere with such steps as might be found expedient in the different parts of the state; on the contrary, it was hoped that, in every part of the state, the Inhabitants would meet at an early period, and from such committees and arrangements, among themselves, as would produce a beneficial and successful union.
It happens, however, too often, that, where we have much time before us, we defer the season of action till it is too late to impair its effect, and we are not without apprehension, that this may have been, in some degree, the case on the present occasion.
Perceiving the activity of those who support the other candidate, we take the liberty of reminding you, that, in an election comprising with a vast extent of territory a most numerous body of electors, whose passions, prejudices and fears, on whose very virtues, our opponents hope to practice with success, no time should be lost. The summer may slip away before a suitable plan of mutual support is adopted, and the hour of election may find us disunited and unprovided to resist those artifices and deceptions frequently exhibited by party, and long deplored by good citizens.
Let every man, therefore, call to mind his solemn obligations to his Country, to his Friends, his Family; let each consider himself as individually bound and answerable not merely for his own vote, but for his strenuous exertions to excite his neighbours to assist in securing, as far as the choice of a Governor can do it, a continuance of our happiness and prosperity; let meetings of your good Citizens from the several townships be speedily convened, and your county be divided according to its election districts, and those again into smaller divisions, so that no man, having a right to vote, be passed over without an invitation to perform his duty on that important day; let close attention be paid to the false rumours, the groundless calumnies, which have already begun to be used as engines of political operations, and while on our part, we abstain from practices so dishonorable and malevolent let us maintain our ground by the exclusive aid of moderation, truth and firmness.
To you, Sir, whose established character gives us a confidence in your disposition to promote the good of your country, we have thought it our duty to address ourselves; and from you we shall be very happy to receive any future communications, to which we promise a ready attention.

ELECTION.
AT a numerous assembly of respectable republicans, convened by previous notice, at the house of Mr. Christopher Mixel, in the borough of Easton, on the evening of the thirtieth day of July, 1799, for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of the approaching important Election.
Robert Traill was appointed chairman, & Abraham Bachman, Secretary.
After the meeting was thus organized from a conscientiousness that the continuance of all the political blessings we enjoy depends alone on the virtue and vigilance of the citizens; that while the privilege secured to them by the constitution of electing their rulers shall be faithfully exercised, we may defy the insidious intrigues and open assaults of all our enemies; and that party spirit and prejudice always tend to exclude that candid and dispassionate investigation after truth, which ought to be the first object with every real friend to his country.—They proceeded to a cool and impartial discussion of the relative merits of the two candidates for the Governor's Office, and the arguments urged in favor of either of them by their respective advocates; and then passed the following resolutions:
1st. Resolved unanimously, That this meeting do justly estimate the eminent services rendered by Thomas M'Kean, Esq., as a Member of the Convention which formed the excellent Constitution under which we live, as also those he has for a number of years performed in his official capacity as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; yet considering that he holds an honorable appointment for life or during good behavior, with an independent salary—that a Spanish nobleman, now minister from the court of Spain in the city of Philadelphia is his son-in-law; that Spain the most despotic government in Europe is now not only committing depredations on the commerce of the United States, but also firing up dissatisfaction among the Indians on our frontiers; that the said Thomas M'Kean is so very far advanced in years as to be unable to undergo the fatigues of a campaign, should he be constitutionally called on to head the military forces of the state in case of necessity; that he has renounced the system of politics which he was warmly attached to, and ably advocated with James Ross, his present competitor and many others of our firmest patriots at the time of the adoption of the federal and state constitutions.—That on the other hand, James Ross is a man of distinguished abilities, and unimpeachable public and private character, of mild temper and easy access, in the prime of life, and fully competent to the discharge of all the important duties of that highly responsible station; and without any connexion, domestic or otherwise, which can possibly induce a suspicion of the slightest bias in favor of any country or government but our own.
This meeting, therefore, without presuming to depreciate the merits or services of the honorable Thomas M'Kean, Esq., from a fair and deliberate comparison of the characters of the two gentlemen, and from a firm and conscientious conviction that they are promoting the essential interest of this state and of the United States, do
2d. Resolved unanimously, That they will by all fair and honorable means, support James Ross, of Pittsburgh, for Governor, at the ensuing election, and warmly recommend him to their fellow citizens.
3d. Resolved, That the Chairman and Secretary do sign these Resolutions, and cause them to be published in both the papers printed in this borough, also in one or more of the republican papers in Philadelphia, and in the papers printed at Reading by Messrs Jungman and Shryder.
ROBERT TRAILL, Chairman, ABRAHAM BACHMAN, Sec'y.

AT a meeting of a number of the inhabitants of the Township of Germantown, held at Riter's Tavern on Thursday the 1st of August, it was

From the Cornwall Chronicle. The following Discovery, which, from the facts related, seems to have furnished mankind with a certain Remedy in PU-TRID DISEASES, is of so important a nature, that we lose no time in laying it before our Readers; and if a substitute can be found in this Island for YEAST or BARM, it may possibly be attended with the same happy effect here: at least we are persuaded that the Gentlemen of the Faculty will give it a trial, and we trust the other Printers of this Island will take an early opportunity to make this communication general: We have heard of a composition very nearly resembling Yeast, being made by Negroes with Molasses Skimmings and Water.—We believe there is commonly a small quantity to be found near the Bung of newly imported Porter, and we understand that it may be had from England in a dry prepared state to answer all the purposes of its original state.—If any of our readers is acquainted with a proper succedaneum, a public communication thereof may serve the general interests of humanity.
(From the Sun, of March 30.) A certain remedy in Putrid Diseases. IN this philosophic age, when diseases so often change their appearance from what physicians had any former experience of, it is a pleasing reflection, that the study of medicine has of late been so much simplified, and almost every distemper incident to the human body so fully explained, as to come within the common apprehension of mankind.—The following facts communicated to the world by Rev. Mr. Cartwright, afford an antidote for the most dangerous disease with which the human body can be afflicted; so that it is hoped one of the most crowded avenues to the grave is at length in a great measure closed.
"Seventeen years ago I went (says this benevolent Clergyman) to reside at Brampton, a populous village near Chesterfield. I had not been there many months before a putrid fever broke out among us. Finding by far the greater number of my parishioners too poor to afford themselves medical assistance, I undertook, by the help of such books on the subject of medicine as were in my possession, to prescribe for them. I early attended a boy, about 14 years of age, who was attacked by the fever. He had not been ill many days before the symptoms were unequivocally putrid. I then administered bark, wine, and such other remedies as my books directed. My exertions were however of no avail; his disorder grew every day more intractable and malignant, so that I was in hourly expectation of his dissolution. Being under the necessity of taking a journey, before I sat off I went to see him, as I thought for the last time, and I prepared his parents for the event of his death, which I considered as inevitable, and reconciled them in the best manner I was able, to a loss which I knew they would feel severely. While I was in conversation on this distressing subject with his mother, I observed, in a small corner of the room, a tub of wort working. The light brought to my recollection an experiment I had somewhere met with, "of a piece of putrid meat being made sweet by being suspended over a tub of wort in the act of fermentation." The idea flashed into my mind, that the yeast might correct the putrid nature of this disease, and I instantly gave him two large spoonfuls. I then told the mother, if she found her son better, to repeat this dose every three hours. I then sat out for my journey; upon my return, after a few days, I anxiously enquired after the boy, and was informed he was recovered. I could not repress my curiosity, though I was greatly fatigued with my journey, and night was come on; I went directly to where he lived, which was three miles off, in a wild part of the moors. The boy himself opened the door, looked surprisingly well, and told me he had felt better from the instant he took the yeast.
"After I left Brampton, I lived in Leicester-shire. My parishioners being there few and opulent, I dropped the medical character entirely and would not prescribe for my own family. One of my domestics falling ill, accordingly the apothecary was sent for. His complaint was a violent fever, which in its progress became putrid. Having great reliance, and deservedly, in the apothecary's penetration and judgment, the man was left solely to his management. His disorder, however, kept daily gaining ground, till at length the apothecary considered him in very great danger. At last, finding every effort to be of service to him baffled, he told me he considered it to be a lost case, and that in his opinion the man could not survive twenty-four hours. On the apothecary thus giving him up, I determined to try the effects of yeast. I gave him two large spoonfuls, and in 15 minutes from taking the yeast, his pulse, though still feeble, began to get compressed and full. He, in 32 minutes from his taking it, was able to get up from his bed and walk in his room. At the expiration of the second hour, I gave him a basin of sago, with a good deal of lemon, wine and ginger in it; he eat it with an appetite; in another hour he repeated the yeast; an hour afterwards I gave the bark as before; at the next hour he had food; next had another dose of yeast; and then went to bed; it was nine o'clock; he told me he had a good night, and was recovered. I however repeated the medicine, and he was soon able to go about his business as usual.
"About a year after this, as I was riding past a detached farm house at the outskirts of the village, I observed a farmer's daughter, standing at the door, apparently in great af-
fiction. On enquiring into the cause of her distress, she told me her father was dying: I dismounted, and went into the house to see him; I found him in the last stage of a putrid fever. His tongue was black, his pulse was scarcely perceptible, and he lay stretched out like a corpse, in a state of drow-sy insensibility. I immediately procured some yeast, which I diluted with water, and poured down his throat; I then left him with little hopes of recovery; I returned, how-ever, in about two hours, and found him sensible and able to converse; I then gave him a dose of bark; he afterwards took at a proper interval, some refreshment. I staid with him till he repeated the yeast, and then left him, with directions how to proceed; I called upon him the next morning at nine o'clock; I found him apparently well, and walking in his garden. He was an old man upwards of 70.
"I have since administered the yeast to above fifty persons labouring under putrid fevers; and what is singular (continues this benevolent man) I have not lost a patient." The above has been handed to us by a gentleman in this city, who lost two children by the fever which has been so prevalent of late. He had a third child who was taken ill, and this prescription having come to his knowledge, he made the experiment which was happily crowned with success. We shall be happy to record farther proofs of its efficacy.
Edinburgh, March 1799.
OF THE YELLOW FEVER. The following extract from a Voyage to the South Seas, lately published by Captain Colnett, of the Royal Navy, is highly interesting to the attention of all commanders of ships and others who go into hot climates as it exhibits a successful mode of treating the Yellow Fever, a disorder which alas! has so often baffled the skill of Medical Practitioners. (Page 83.)
"The whole crew had been more or less affected by the Yellow Fever, from which horrid disorder I was however so fortunate as to recover them, by adopting the method that I saw practised by the natives of Spanish America, when I was a prisoner among them. On the first symptoms appearing, the fore part of the head was immediately shaved, and the temples and poll washed with vinegar and water. The whole body was then immersed in warm water, to give a free course to perspiration; some opening medicine was afterwards administered, and every four hours a dose of ten grains of James's Powders. If the patient was thirsty, the drink was weak white wine and water, and a slice of bread to satisfy an inclination to eat. An increasing appetite was gratified by a small quantity of soup, made from the mucilaginous part of the Turtle, with a little vinegar in it. I also gave the pick, sweetmeats and other articles from my private stock, whenever they expressed a distaste with for any, which I could supply them with. By this mode of treatment, the whole crew improved in their health, except the carpenter, who, though a very stout robust man, was at one time in such a state of delirium, and so much reduced, that I gave him over; but he at length recovered."
A more judicious treatment of this disorder could not have been devised. The same good sense, indeed, which directed the medical concerns (for there were no surgeon on board), seems to have prevailed upon every occasion of difficulty or danger, which required nautical skill; but of this we are the less surprised, when we find that Captain Colnett had served under the celebrated navigator Capt. Cook; to whose Works this publication will no doubt be considered as a valuable Supplement.

LONDON, June 7. Extract of a letter from Capt. John Ainsworth, of the ship Polly, to his owner, in Liverpool, dated Jamaica, 17th April.
"In lat. 3. 46, S. long. 22, W. I fell in with a large Spanish brig, and after a running engagement of four hours and a half captured her, called St. Antonio, from Ten-eriffe to Buenos Ayres. We expended 100 cannon cartridges, and upwards of 400 mus-quet and musketoon cartridges, our falls and rigging were much cut, and several of our slaves slightly wounded by a shot that went through our side under the main chains, and broke two flanchcons of the bulk head of the women's room. On the 12th of March, went into Barbadoes to land the prisoners, being 22.
"I left Barbadoes on the 26th March; in the morning of the 17th, fell in with a French Schooner privateer, who chased us till two P.M. I then hove to for him, on which she short-ended sail, and seemed consulting with his Officers; soon after he made sail, and came up under our quarter. When I gave him what guns I could get to bear; we had a number of our men staves with small arms, who fought very well, and killed and wounded several of the privateer's people; he then attempted to board us on the quarter, and carried away our main sheet; at this time only small arms were fired, and if our people had been at the cabin guns, we must have sunk him. In their attempt to get up the side, I took a boarding pike, and threw it at them, which went through the side of one man into the thigh of another, and they both fell—he then shivered off, I can safely say he had 20 men, or upwards, killed or wounded, his decks being full of blood. We gave him three cheers, and chased him in our turn, but could not come up with him; he was full of men, but cannot fly what force. I had one man wounded, our hull full of musket shot, and sails and rigging very much cut and shattered."
Between nine and ten o'clock on Saturday morning Col. Shadwell, of the 25th Light Dragoons, on his arrival at the Bull Inn, at Maidstone, where his regiments were in quarters, recognized two deserters from the 17th Light Horse, and on alighting from his carriage, and enquiring where they were going, one of them, instead of shewing his furlough, fired his pistol, and shot the Col. through the body; the pistol was loaded with five slugs, which entered the officer in different places, and occasioned his death after staggering a few paces. The des-erters being pursued by the towns-people, the fellow who shot the Col. snapped his pistol at them; it was returned with the contents of a fowling piece which wounded the offender in the head; the Coroner's Jury sat on Sunday evening, and the soldiers were committed to Maidstone goal for the murder.

Extract of a letter from Citizen Niatel, Mid-shipman on board the ship Jemappes, dated Toulon, May 16.
"We failed the 27th ult. from Brest, and proceeded to anchor in the road at Bresthume. The fleet failed on the 26th in the morning. We passed the Bar without seeing the English fleet, the signal for which off our coast had been made before our departure. A favourable wind carried us to the heights of Cadiz, where we perceived the English Squadron.
"As soon as it was known, the order was given us to form the line of battle. We then manoeuvred to get the weather gage. If the wind had not been very violent, it is certain that a battle must have taken place, the weather was however so violent, that we were disposed to, that at break of day we could no longer discern the English fleet. Several of our vessels had got such a distance from us, that they were missing.
"The signal was made to anchor in the port of Cadiz, but as the wind was adverse, we could not reach it. After having collected our ships, we failed for the Straights of Gibraltar.
"We have coasted along Spain. Being arrived before Carthagena, we remained there half a day before the port. We then continued our voyage, and passed in sight of the islands of Ivice, Majorca, and Minorca. At length on the 13th we entered the port of Toulon in the best possible condition. I doubt whether we shall remain here a sufficient time to enable me to hear from you,
(Signed) "NIATEL."

By this Day's Mail
NEW-YORK, August 7. Yesterday arrived here from Antigua, the English sloop Diana, commanded by Capt. Munkman, after a passage of 19 days.
Capt. Munkman informs us, that an English frigate had just arrived there from a cruise, that had spoke another vessel at sea from England, which informed the Captain of the frigate, that LORD ST. VINCENT HAD FALLEN IN WITH THE SPANISH FLEET, AND AFTER A SEVERE ENGAGEMENT, TOOK AND DESTROYED TWENTY-TWO SAIL OF THE LINE; and that Admiral Nelson had driven the British Fleet into Toulon.
This news was published in the Antigua papers; but Captain M. did not bring one with him.
Capt. Munkman further informs, that the above frigate brought the news of the last victory gained by the Austria-Russian army and the taking of the French General Moreau.
The Schooner William, Lamb, and several others, bound for New-York, were to sail with the English fleet on the 15th July.
[This news comes rather indirectly. There is reason, however, to believe, that this frigate is the bearer of news at least as late as any we have had—and it may yet turn out that Lord St. Vincent has captured and destroyed some fleet.—If the Spanish, it must have been reinforced.] [N.Y. D. Ad.]
The brig Ann, Capt. Law, got up yesterday from the Quarantine Ground. Left Vera-Cruz June 29, in company with the ship Rose of N. York; and Capt. Citizen, of Baltimore, both bound to the Havana. Left at V. C. the 16th Zenith, of Philadelphia, to sail in two days. July 20, spoke the ship Tels-graph, from Tortuga, bound to Jamaica.
The brig Jane & Eliza has arrived at the Quarantine Ground, in 13 days from the Havana, by which we learn, that the ship Rose from Vera-Cruz, had arrived there the day before her failed.
From the complexion of the last intelligence from Europe, there is reason to believe, that before this day, the whole of Italy is in possession of the Emperor and his auxiliaries.
The acquisition of this country must be of the utmost importance to the House of Austria, as, from the latest authors, it appears, that it contains 20,000,000 inhabitants, who, heretofore, have been governed by a number of small Princes and Republics, which prevented the formation of that strength always necessary in order to act in concert; but, being subject to the Emperor, will enable him to augment his forces; which added to the vast revenue of the country and the fertility of the soil, will be fully adequate to support his army without embarrassment.
It may be here asked, what will be the result of all these advantages? It may, we think, be answered thus:
"By the time our Ministers to the Great Nation shall be ready to treat with France, she will be bowing to Austria bending her knee to Britain, and ready to make those just RETRIBUTIONS to America, which is due her as a Great, Free, and Independent People."
BALTIMORE, August 6.
The rendezvous for the seamen and marines for the sloop of war MARYLAND, capt. ROGERS, commander, was opened yesterday at Fell's Point; and no doubt is entertained, from the excellence of the vessel, and the bravery and fame of her commander, but a few days will furnish her a complete crew of hardy, brave and enterprising Americans.
Arrived yesterday. Schooner Alert, captain Diamond, 53 days from La Vera Cruz. Sailed in company with the brig Nancy, Herrington of Baltimore.
Left there Feb. Citizen, Stocket, of Baltimore, expected to sail in 4 days—besides several sail belonging to Philadelphia and New-York.

The war the United States have to maintain against France, is a war, to preserve her habits, religion, morals, property, and present form of Government. If France should cajole us into peace, and get us to lay aside our military and naval preparations, all these would, and must be at her mercy, and what mercy she would show them and us, we may judge, from the example of every country she has made peace with, or received into her friendship.
It is not possible for the imagination to depict any thing more stupendously wicked and criminal, than the politics of the French Directory. They encourage a large portion of the Irish nation to rebellion; they set them about murdering their neighbors, burning their houses, and destroying all the cattle in the kingdom; persuading these poor creatures, that all this must be done, to embarrass the English, and prevent their obtaining provisions for their fleets, in order that an army of Frenchmen may, the more easily be thrown into the kingdom of Ireland, although the means of supporting this army must thus have vanished. But what are these enormities in reality encouraged for? Truly to embarrass the British Cabinet; by destroying provisions that might be applied to the use of their fleets, and by encouraging rebellion in Ireland, to divert a part of the British forces, for the purpose of quelling it. Have they ever intended to invade Ireland with a competent army, to subdue it; or as the Jacobins would term it, to restore the Irish to their liberties? No; they had encouraged the destruction of the means of supporting such an army in that island, and it is now evident to demonstration, that their real object lay elsewhere. And yet this dreadful deception, which has occasioned the sacrifice of so many lives in Ireland, is boasted of in the Aurora, as a master stroke of policy. Says the mild lucubrist, on this subject, "Upon the actual delinquent of this naval armament the friends of republican government can proudly say, there is no certainty, but in the bosoms of its protectors." What fiend-like bosoms are those of the protectors, in which this gentle writer rejoices, will best be seen by the long black list of human miseries, they have projected for Ireland, in order to conceal its destination. It is thus they will always treat their Irish friends, whenever their destruction will serve the purposes of their ambition.
The fairy land promised to our democrats is the millennium; those who promise it, the French philosophers, and the Godwins, men, whose writings, lives, and conduct exhibit the utmost contempt, for religion, morality, humanity and justice. It is however proper to notice, that before the millennium arrives, the directory have also promised to our democrats, all the pleasures "of the tempestuous sea of liberty."
The editor of the Aurora, (see that paper of the 6th July) while he acknowledges Mr. Jefferson to be the author of the letter to Mazzei, paraphrases the highly obnoxious and rebellious sentiment it contains, in the following toast. "The author of the declaration of independence, who prefers the activity of republicanism, to the calm of despotism." Two insurrections subdued, have not yet taught this man, that the lovers of their country, know how to sail with safety, on Mr. Jefferson's "tempestuous sea of liberty."
To be secure against French machinations, our military and naval preparations, must be such, as to demonstrate to the Directory,
that it is in vain for them, to attempt, to disturb, the "calm of despotism" that reigns in the United States.
If the French succeed, in their expedition up the Mediterranean, and against the British fleet; it will bring them sooner to declare their intentions towards the United States. We shall then be presented, as the Swiss were, with the French code of liberty, a French constitution or death. And yet the Aurora (no longer since than the 11th ultimo) prays devoutly, that the French may annihilate the British fleet. Such are your lovers of "the tempestuous sea of liberty," and bakers of our present state of order and good government, which they denominated, "the calm of despotism."
No. V.
MR. FENNO, IN my last No. I threw out some reflections against a gentleman who has since convinced me that he had in no manner interested himself in the dispute; and although the information upon which I grounded the attack upon him, would at the time have satisfied a less credulous man than myself, yet being completely assured that it was not true as stated to me, I voluntarily hasten as well in justification of myself as him, to declare that no personal resentment induced that publication, and that nothing short of almost positive conviction dictated to my mind the propriety of checking what at the time I thought arose from enmity on his part towards me; but satisfied as I now am of the contrary, I sensibly feel the impropriety of having made him a party in the dispute.
I now proceed to make some observations upon the term "Charity to the city of Philadelphia and districts," as used by my antagonist, and I confess I should be very glad to know what the author meant by such an expression. If in consequence of our share in Legislative grants and individual donations we are entitled as matter of right to have a certain number of diseased paupers in the Pennsylvania Hospital, how can the exercise of a right be deemed "receiving a charity?" Charity according to my conception of the term, implies the voluntary donation of something for which no equivalent has been given. Now if a consideration has been given, and if for that consideration a specific right of having a certain number of diseased poor in the Pennsylvania Hospital has been expressly reserved to the city and various counties in the state in certain proportions; what effrontery must that man possess who upbraids them for the partial exercise of this right, with being indebted to that institution for a charity. This indeed is small encouragement for Legislative grants or individual donation; few will be the men among either as Legislators or individuals that will hereafter be inclined to swell the pride and insolence of that institution, at such an expense to their own feelings. Would it not be better for that institution in an open and candid manner, from time to time, publicly to declare as follows, "citizens of Philadelphia you are entitled in consequence of your Legislative grants and individual donations, received from your inhabitants towards the establishment and support of this institution to have received into on your account such a number of patients—Citizens of York and Lancaster such is your proportion—Citizens of Bucks and Chester such is your proportion." Has this ever been done? Do the public know in one city, county or district what proportion of patients they have a right to send to the Pennsylvania Hospital? No, my fellow citizens, you have been from time to time endowing this institution, for I cannot call it a charity—and the Managers being a body removable only by death or resignation—no regular rotation being established, the thing is conducted (well enough perhaps) but you are in the dark with respect to your rights; let the gentlemen then tell us what those rights are, and I will venture to assert the Managers of the Alms House will not trespass beyond them, and you shall no longer be insulted with the idea of receiving a charity, from a creature, that derives its existence and its importance from your public and private donations.

POSTSCRIPT.
A letter from Lisbon, received this morning, dated June 19, mention the arrival of a vessel from Hamburg in a short passage, the Captain of which positively declared, a very decisive Battle had been fought on the Rhine, in which Massena and the greatest part of his Army were made prisoners:—It also mentions the expulsion of the French out of the Swiss country.
Another letter from Lisbon of the same date, mentions the King of Spain having signed a permission for the French troops to march through his territory to attack Portugal; the Portuguese are unanimously opposed to the French—the French are entirely expelled from Italy—Switzerland has risen en masse—at Lyons opposition to the Republic has again reared its head—Genoa is taken by the Austrians, the French just before leaving it levied three hundred thousand pounds sterling—Mantua is taken; the Cisalpine republic is no more, its directors have fled. A division of McDonald's army has been destroyed by the Romans; several expressies, requiring his retreat have been intercepted. The Russians neither give nor receive quarters. Every Italian found in arms is shot or hung. The Archduke Charles has been very successful on the Rhine. The king of Prussia has collected an army of 25,000 in addition to his standing army. It states the arrival of the French fleet at Toulon, after having avoided a battle, although they had the weather-gage. The Spanish fleet arrived at Carthagena in a very shattered state; both French and Spanish are completely blocked up.
A number of American vessels have been captured by the French privateers, and carried into different ports in Spain and condemned without reserve by the French Consuls.

[In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavoured to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. 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.
