TO ROBERT WALN, ESQ. Delegates in the Congress of the United States FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
SIR, EXCUSE the liberty I take in addressing you a few lines, relative to your present situation. You are entering a circle in public life, where the duties are manifold and important...
Recalled, Sir, (for it is a fact and all the world should know it) you are the Representative of the better part of this city. Jacobin influence was exerted to give success to your democratic opponent...
A heart replete with virtue, and a mind well stored with useful knowledge, cannot have a better field on which to display their several qualities, than in the Congress of the United States.
The subjects which will come before the ensuing Congress will most probably be particularly important. There is, I believe, a crisis approaching, when all the vigor of the Federal link must be summoned to save the state from ruin...
The system of France has been to conquer by dividing. She has a party here, which, though weakened, is still strong. They are a party of ruffians, men who having nothing to lose, fear not the consequences of civil war...
The prominent feature in the character of these men is boldness. They are indefatigable in doing their work. For their ambitious hearts pant after that eminence which is only acquired in times of anarchy and confusion in the tempestuous sea of Jacobinism.
The doctrine of a superintending providence is indeed clearly inculcated and proved, in almost every page both of the Old and New Testament...
Notice is hereby Given, To all persons who are indebted to the said Estate, that they are required to make immediate payment...

On the 6th October, a convoy of vessels from England arrived at Gibraltar. Amongst them, three Indian transports, having on board 25 hundred troops, which were landed at Gibraltar...
A convoy of supplies had failed from Gibraltar to admiral Nelson's fleet; under the Colossus, of 74 guns, capt. Murray. On Thursday the Supreme Judicial Court of this Commonwealth, commenced their session in this town...
On Monday at Salem, a beautiful ship, pierced for 20 guns was launched. She belongs to Mr. Derry. At Charlestown, same day, the new ship Galen, of 261 tons, designed for the London trade. Her keel has been laid only about 70 days.

A CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. JOHN A. SHAEFFER, of Philadelphia, who has for a few years past been in the Southern States, has had the effrontery to draw several Bills of Ex- change on Timothy Pickering, Esq. Secretary of State, and myself, and by that means has defrauded a number of persons of their money, deceiving them by an exhibition of letters and papers with the names affixed of divers public characters and re- putable merchants highly recommending of said Shaeffer; to one of these papers I find my name subscribed, but I do not know the man; there are willious forgeries! To prevent further imposition, I have to request the printers of Newspapers in the United States to publish this for the benefit of their fellow-citizens. SAMUEL MEREDITH, Treasurer of the United States. Trenton, New-Y
