TO BE SOLD,
A LEASE for seven 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 source of that river to the Capes. 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 as 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 abundantly, besides cherry and other ornamental trees, in great numbers. The farm consists of near sixty acres of land, of good quality, and clear of encumbrances, 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 twenty 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. conit

From the MARYLAND JOURNAL.
ONE of the greatest evils to which republics have been exposed, is instability of councils, a fluctuation of laws and schemes of policy produced by the change of parties and factions. This result may be properly called a government of MEN, rather than of laws. In this country and under the constitution of the United States, it will be by no means a difficult thing to avoid this evil, if the people have discernment to comprehend the true principles of the government, and virtue enough to endure them in practice. They will show in their elections, whether they possess this penetration and firmness. If they elect men who are friendly to systems founded in the true spirit of the constitution; if they reject candidates who are opposed to good measures which have been adopted, and the success of which and of others connected with them, depends upon stability and perseverance; if they have facility to comprehend the system into which public affairs internal and external have been arranged, and wisdom enough to give that system a fair experiment; if they have confidence in the great and enlightened man who retires full of glory from the chair of state, they will name a successor who will pursue the thread of his views, give continuity to his system, and carry into practice those inestimable political precepts which he has sanctioned at his parting advice to his grateful country. Who among us does not glow in reading that address from the President, in which he has so affectionately developed the sound principles that have governed his public conduct—who among us who does not acknowledge the profoundness of his maxims, the simplicity of his system of general federal policy, the wisdom of his advice!—In the choice of the electors of his successor, we ought constantly to keep in view a successor who is attached to the constitution and the measures of the President; and who will carry into practice that system which our beloved Washington has adopted and recommended to his fellow-citizens. This will be some consolation for our loss; and thus will the spirit of that great man still preside through the action of his principles, over the affairs from which he retires. The blessing which heaven confers occasionally upon nations, in giving them men of uncommon wisdom and virtue, would be in a great measure defeated, were the influence of such men to cease with their retirement or their death. The life of man is short. The duration of wisdom may be made for ages to survive him who gives its precepts a current weight in a nation. This is the immortality that is due to such a man as Washington. This would truly be to continue him among us for ages.
Of the names brought into view as his successor the vice-president, Mr. Adams, appears most likely to meet with the approbation of the federal men, in the union; and it may, from his character, be fairly presumed that he will be proud to tread in the steps of the President, and deserve the elevated station intended him. That Mr. Adams should have been the man of the federal men, is not at all an unexpected thing. To have been the second man in the choice of the nation, ever since the adoption of our excellent constitution must at once have prepared both him and the nation for a higher grade in his favour, whenever the President should decline. To overlook him in such a juncture, would be a puerile inconstancy, unjuft to him and unworthy of the people. What so natural, as that having long distinguished him next to their first, when that first retires, to make him first. A firm enlightened and try'd friend and defender of the republican representative government, as balanced in our constitution, the union will have in him, the friend of liberty and law, as secured under our present unrivalled political form. They will have in him, that same zeal for the real independence of his country which rendered him so conspicuous during our glorious revolution; and that attachment to our constitution which has preserved the most undiminished sympathy between him and the President, in all the concussions of public opinion, since the adoption of the federal government.
As a foreign minister, his character shone with splendor upon two important and memorable occasions: the Dutch negotiation and the treaty of peace with Great-Britain. In the first he was obliged to call forth all his address. Those who are at all read in the political affairs of the seven United Provinces, know that the federate form of government which was then in force, was perhaps the most complicated, and slow in forming its acts, of any power in Europe. To take Holland, the most important of the seven, as an instance—In this province there are eighteen cities, which were to many purposes sovereign bodies. Each sent its deputies or states to the states of the province. The sovereign power of the republic was in the states general, which consisted of the deputies or states sent from the assembly of each province, and formed three grand departments, called the states general, the council of state, and the chamber of a counts. Each constituent assembly sent as many deputies as it tho't proper; all from each province being but one vote, as was the case in our old confederation congress. Upon questions of a general nature before the states general, it was usual to take up the business ad referendum, i. e. to send the question to the states of each province, for them to deliberate upon, and instruct their deputies in the states general how to vote. In cases of peace and war, and forming alliances, it was necessary that all the provinces should concur; and when the question was thus sent to the states of the province, that assembly never thought themselves at liberty to decide until the regencies and councils and senates of each city, or separate republic in the province, instructed its deputies in the assembly of that province. It was upon this disjointed and complicated political machinery, that it was Mr. Adams's duty to make new and great impressions, and his praise to succeed in his endeavours. He accomplished his object—a treaty with America: and the defeat of the pacific mediation of Russia in favour of Great-Britain, in the midst of the most discouraging circumstances. The stadtholder was related to the king of England, and in the interest of Great Britain. His influence, constitutional and indirect, was immense. This influence was unremittingly opposed
to Mr. Adams. It occupied the court at the Hague:—it shut the doors of their high mightinesses against him: for they refused his letters of credence, until by the force of reason, industriously exerted among the constituent assemblies and subaltern departments of power in the several provinces and towns, he triumphed over the English party, the prince of Orange, and the phlegmatic complexion of the whole country.
On his arrival at the Hague, he had presented a memorial to their high mightinesses, in which he forcibly and affectionately portrayed the features of analogy between the United States and the Dutch nation. Finding that a powerful party prevented him from any opportunity of presenting his credentials, and qualified as he was to avail himself of those means of reaching the very interior of their cabinet, through their constitutional organs, which their form of government afforded, he took every laudable step that could insure instructions in his favour, in the different cities and provinces. In a few months after his memorial had been sent by the states general to the respective assemblies, we find his offers of a treaty mentioned with friendly intentions in the assembly of the states of Guelderland by baron Nagel. His efforts in Oostlugo, Guelderland, Leyden, Rotterdam, Haerlem, Zwoll, and through the whole of Overysel, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Friesland, Holland, and West-Friesland, Zealand and Groeningen, manifested themselves first in petitions of merchants and others to their respective states and regencies; and then, in the formal instructions to the deputies from each province to the states general, which crowned his patriotic labours with success.
[Remainder in our next.]
To the Editor of the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO,
THE advocates of the Jefferson ticket assured all those whom they succeeded in duping, and many whom they did not, that, if he was President, he would be a firm friend to order. He would be energetic enough, he would disappoint his opponents by his vigorous and true federal administration. No man that knows him will deny, that he, like most of the democrats, is sufficiently arbitrary in his disposition, and as impatient of controul or contradiction as any chief magistrate should be. No doubt when President, he will love power—he has not been accused of hating it, notwithstanding his cunning retreat from office. But the question is, and it touches the vitals of the public liberty, how will he try to get it, and to hold it? Will he, or will his friends for him, get a foreign incendiary to come forward, like Genet, with an appeal to the people, in the very nick of time, while the election is depending, and to threaten the country, with the resentment of an ally if we should not chuse him President a second time? Four years hence, the same abominations may be repeated again, that we must elect a President that will please the French; and thus we may have a perpetuity in the office created by foreign influence, or more correctly a vice roy, like a lord lieutenant of Ireland, who would at all times stand in awe of his maker. If Americans are so sunk, so unspeakably mean in estimation and spirit as to take the law in this manner, from any power on earth, bondage is too good for them. Like Poland, where the French once governed, like Holland where they still govern, America should be annihilated—Sons of insolence go from our towns where corruption and clubs can buy a mob, to our country villages where virtue, patriotism and real independence still reign, and you will find your vile arts are lost—you will find Washington more beloved and trusted than Adet—and that our husbandmen owe more duty to America than to France. Come to York county, or go to Jersey, or Connecticut, and write manifestoes that will suit the citizens whom Mr. Jefferson calls the chosen people of God, because they cultivate the earth. Our country would not then have to bear the unexampled outrage of such a manifesto as Mr. Adet's.
But to return to Mr. Jefferson, if he or his friends seek an election, and a re-election by foreign aid, he's the last and the worst man that could be chosen. The appeal is to facts, and in a country, where, tho' it is easy to make dupes, it is peculiarly difficult to shelter them from ridicule and contempt, the authority of these facts is already established. The clubs may clamor, the jacobins and their pensioned printers may be, Mr. Minister may threaten the government, and coax the people. The impression is made, and it is the impression of indignation and insulted national independence, which cannot be erased. If it could be, if any foreign emissary could meddle in our elections with success, we should sink as Poland did. It would be a mockery to celebrate the 4th of July—No—it would then be proper to celebrate the horrid 10th of August in its stead.
But do the advocates of Mr. Jefferson really believe, that he would support public order, and real national independence, as they pretend? Do they believe, that France would be a mere ally, without power over our affairs? that our systems would be upheld—property sacred—banks and funding systems, those objects of democratic abomination, untouched—the government firm and energetic—and an impartial neutrality maintained?—O the depth and the breadth of party impudence! Was it for such a man, was it for such a system of administration, that all the agents of a foreign power were buzzing treason in our ears? Was Bache's paper paid for this? Did the whisky counties desire such a new order of things, or instead of it, that kind of licence that citizen Fauchet, in his intercepted letters, has stated as their right? Does Mr. AJD with such a system? Do the advocates of the detested Virginia amendments really interest themselves in Mr. J's election, because they think he will support the constitution, which he was said to abhor from the first? Or, on the contrary, do they think he will patronize that motley jargon of imbecility and mischief? Why, in a word, do the sons of confusion, the enemies of the constitution, the creatures and hirelings of a foreign power, exert themselves so much, if they expect the fulfilment of their own promises? They do not expect any such thing. They know their man; but, thank God, who pro-
tests liberty, their power and their art are limited and John Adams will be the man to preserve, as he has already helped to establish, the independence of our country. We are not Poles, nor will we have a Frenchman for President.

The whole to conclude (for the 2d time) with The Grand Serious Pantomime of Oscar and Malvina, Or, The Hall of Fingal.
(Under the direction of Messrs. Sully and Spinacona) (Taken from the Poems of Ossian.)
From the great estimation in which this piece has been held by the public, (having been performed upwards of 150 nights at Covent-Garden Theatre, in London, likewise at Mr. Rickett's Royal Circus, in Edinburgh) he flatters himself that, having spared no expence, it will meet the approbation of a generous public.

OLD THEATRE.
On TUESDAY EVENING, December 6, Signior FALCONI Will Exhibit his
Natural and Philosophical Experiments;
Among several new experiments, too tedious to enumerate, there will be
The Astonishing Magnetism,
The virtue of which the Performer will communicate to the distance of twelve feet, both by light and feeling.
A curious and philosophical discovery of lighting a Candle with a Card, Knife, or Sword, without any Fire.
After a New Exhibition of philosophical experiments, which the exhibitor omits to mention, with a view to surprise the company, will be a representation of that Terror of Nature,
A Thunder-storm at Sea.
In which will be seen the swelling of the sea, and the waves rolling with incredible impetuosity; the sky wonderfully covered with clouds; the natural appearance of hail, with its concomitant noise, and a Ship in Distress, which after a long struggle is distressed and goes down. The manœuvring of the vessel in this dreadful situation will not only excite admiration in the spectators in general but to every fearing person present, who must acknowledge the whole calamitous scene to be exceedingly natural, and the greatest piece of ingenuity of the kind ever exhibited in this part of the world—All to be accompanied with THUNDER and LIGHTNING, to near a resemblance as to astonish the company.
After the storm will follow an appearance of all kinds of fish, and the result of the loss of the vessel—which the exhibitor is confident will give entire satisfaction and a perfect idea of a Shipwreck, to such persons as have never seen any thing of the kind. To conclude with
The appearance of a Young Lady, Who will dance a complete Hornpipe, in a beautiful saloon, equal to any Dancing-Master.
Tickets to be had at Mr. North's, next door to the theatre—Boxes may be taken at the same place. No money received at the door.
Silver Tickets have been put up, in order to render the House comfortable.

LEGISLATURE OF MASSACHUSETTS.
Nov. 26.
The message of the governor, as stated in Saturday's Gazette, was committed to a joint committee, who yesterday reported in favour of a repeal of the preceding resolution. The senate took up the report, & by a very large majority determined not to accept the same; and sent it down to the house for concurrence. The question of concurrence was fully and ably debated in the house, and late last evening, it was determined by yeas and nays, in favour of a concurrence with the Senate.

The French doctor's dose begins to operate, but in a manner the very reverse of what was intended, when it was administered. Symptoms of its operation are breaking out rapidly in all quarters.
Extract of a letter from Charleston, S. Carolina, dated 15th Nov. 1796.
"I have seen the decree which you mention that citizen Adet had delivered to the secretary of state. It is unquestionably a violation of the treaty. Adet's address is of the nature of a remonstrance, and his publishing it in the newspapers, is intended as an appeal to the people. He has done what Genet only threatened to do. This is certainly part of the system planned by a domestic faction. The French directory, before they could have authorised such a proceeding, must have had assurances given them of being supported by a party in this country."
Extract of a letter from Raleigh, N. Carolina, dated 23d Nov. 1796.
"I feel much exasperated at Adet's conduct. Hope, if it can be done, that the President will instantly suspend him. Clear I am, that his conduct is so disgraceful to us, unless punished, that we must sink greatly in character."
Chester-Town, Maryland, December 1.
MR. FENNO,
HAVING seen a statement in Mr. Bache's paper, giving Mr. Jefferson six votes out of ten from this state, I think proper to inform you that three votes out of four on the Eastern-shore of this state, have declared for Mr. Adams, and four out of six are elected on Western-shore for Mr. Adams, which makes it seven for federal and three for anti-federal, and not six for anti-federal, as the editor of the Aurora would wish to have it. The above is authentic.
A SUBSCRIBER.
One of the journeymen employed by the Hollow-Ware company, in fabricating that species of manufacture, favors the public with the following intelligent rhapsody, in a Virginia gazette.
When learned things are past, Some questions may be ask'd.
The present is called the age of reason;—and things respecting ethereal as well as the occurrences amongst men, are determined by this criterion. History, whether antient or modern, religious or profane, if repugnant to reason; common sense seems them fabulous.—By some it is said to be the age of refinement;—If this be true, and reason is established on a firm basis, I will trouble the wise men of the present day, with a few queries for solution. It will afford the man of sense amusement—the pendant a subject to display his learning on, and the curious reader will gain instruction by perusing the elucidation, if well defined.
1st. Will future generations believe, that America, after bravely repulsing the mighty arm of Britain, and establishing her independence;—would at this day, suffer herself to be pestered by a horde of antithetical deamons, daily venting their deleterious orgies with impunity,—and preyed upon by the domineering privateers of that nation, which has already grown too impetuous.—Alas! my friends, does not the treatment of the unfortunate captain Jessup, rouse your indignation against these insatiable imposters.
2d. Does honor comport with duelling?—or does friendship emanate from gouging?—The former settles affairs of honor—and the latter, reconciles the most inveterate foes.
BACK-WOODS.
THEATRE.
It is the opinion of many that the advance on the price of tickets is a step which will prove prejudicial to the interests of the establishment. It is a subject, however, on which it would be unjust to make up a rash or hasty judgment. The acting manager of the new theatre, has so uniformly discovered the most anxious solicitude upon every occasion to raise the character of the American drama, and such have been his personal exertions in particular, to promote this end, and the heavy expenses consequent upon these exertions, as to entitle him in a particular manner to consideration with a generous public: and it will hardly be believed that the Rep he has taken, however obnoxious it may appear in the eyes of many, would have been adopted had it not been dictated by expediency and necessity.
A correspondent observes, that some persons have a most extraordinary method of reconciling their feelings to the most absurd and unjust conclusions—while every line and profession of life are allowed to meet the enhanced value of articles of the first necessity, and the rise of prices in every business and profession by corresponding advances, the persons whose fate it is to be connected with the
theatre must be condemned to the same rate of remuneration which was received thirty years ago.—If at that day the emoluments of the theatre were such as to leave the parties in statu quo, after many years pursuit of the profession—how is it possible that the institution of a theatre can now be supported at the prices then paid for tickets when the rate of living, labor, and every charge attendant on a theatre is trebled?
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, You will much oblige many of your subscribers, as well as other citizens, by publishing the enclosed in to-morrow's paper.
To the friends of the drama.
Messrs. Wignell and Reinagle have opened their theatrical career in this place, with a piece of policy that, I will venture to say, is as unpleasant, as it was unexpected to the public mind. I mean the rise in the price of the box and pit tickets—Relying on the general rage for novelty and new performers, and the liberal encouragement the citizens of Philadelphia have always shown to respectable talents in any profession, they believe that Mr. Cooper & Mrs. Merry will be excellent pioneers to an encroachment upon our purses, which, though commenced with some affectation of modesty, may be pursued, upon the same principles, to any extent—The managers pretend that the expenditures of the theatre will not be supplied at the present prices. The first question then is, Whether the mode now adopted is the proper one to encrease their revenue, and will it have that effect? I answer without hesitation, in the negative.
As the theatre is much more than large enough to contain all who have hitherto attended it, even at the old prices, do the managers expect to see this number encreased by the advance of price? Certainly not—The only mode of filling their house, and of consequence their coffers, is by enlarging and improving the entertainment offered—If this is done, at any reasonable expence, I will answer for it, it will be found the only certain method of enriching the theatre—Encreasing the price of admittance, without this encrease of entertainment is doubly absurd—and yet it is the precise conduct of the managers—The company cannot, even with the late additions, be thought comparable to what it was, when supported with the talents of Mrs. Fennel, Mr. Chalmers, Mr. & Mrs. Whitlock, Miss Marshall, Mr. Bates, &c. Where are these talents supplied? I will not say—Where are these talents excelled? More money then is demanded of us, for less consideration—From the general discount at this measure that I find in all classes and circles, and the justness and reasonableness of that discount, the managers will find the utter defeat of this left-handed policy, attended with very serious losses—A desire to see the new performers (on whose Herculean credit this mad scheme is attempted) may draw a few good houses; but when this ensnarement is satisfied or disappointed, I doubt not to see the boxes deserted: and those people who formerly frequented the pit at 5/7 1/2 will now go to the gallery at 3/9—Weak measures are generally done in a weak manner—If the managers have gratitude or generosity, let them remember that thro' the last season they were supported entirely by an exertion of public liberality—"With sincere regret and great deference" I say that their performances in general deserved nothing but contempt—If a good play was attempted, the characters were so wretchedly cast, as to afford nothing but disappointment and disgust—and yet I call upon the managers to say, if they lost by the last season?—If, on the contrary, their profits were not very handsome—if they now have it in their power, to offer better entertainment, they are bound to do it:—and, I will venture to say, they will find their advantage in the taste and liberality of the public, if they do not defeat it by this shameful and unjust imposition—On another occasion, I will more minutely examine the reasons offered by the managers, which are as flimsy and unfounded, as they are unjust.
HONEST POLICY.
The attempt to crush the trade of England is openly avowed by the French directory. Considerable progress is made in the execution of it, and our jacobin new-papers, either from stupidity or corruption already exult that the neutral states from the Baltic quite to the Adriatic, have been compelled by the French to shut their ports against the English, if they should not meet with checks they will do the like in America. Already they justify the faithless and wicked project of preying upon the commerce of America with England. The eyes of this country are not so blind, nor is it's spirit so debased, as to acquiesce, much less to rejoice in this usurpation of our independent sovereignty, this violation of our neutrality, this faithless and shameful breach of a solemn treaty? If the jacobins have a spark of either sense or patriotism, they will see, and will at last confess, that French successes are no longer to be celebrated. When France becomes master of all Europe, America will not be mistress even of her own seas. Our ships must rot in port, or sail only where France will permit. Is this independence? Fallen jacobins do you with all power to France, so that the United States shall lie at her mercy. Degenerate, poor spirited wretches, go to France, and while you renounce your own country, adore your own kind of liberty at the foot of the guillotine—you will be at home there, but here you are strangers and traitors.
PARIS, 15 Vendemiaire, October 7.
Several journalists have announced that Jourdan was at Paris. Poulter has added, that he refused to dine with M. Benzetch. These journalists were mistaken, and Poulter, according to custom, has told a lie. Jourdan has not appeared at Paris.
LONDON, October 10.
Lord Malmesbury, who is certainly appointed minister to Paris, is son of Mr. Harris, the author of the celebrated work called Hermes, who, about 30 years ago, was one of the lords of the admiralty, and afterwards a lord of the treasury. The present lord, who is just fifty years old, was, in 1768, appointed secretary to the embassy to Spain. He
was afterwards made minister at Brussels, and in 1772, envoy extraordinary to Berlin. In 1776, he went in the same character to Petersburg, and in 1784, he was made ambassador to the Hague. He was particularly instrumental in concluding treaties favourable to Prussia and Holland; in consequence of which he was granted certain honours in those countries. His lordship has had experience enough to make an able negotiator; and if ministers are sincere, we have no doubt he will be successful on the present occasion.
October 14.
A vague account yesterday reached town, bro't to Deal by a vessel from Quebec, that the Pearl frigate, Capt. Ballard, with a convoy from thence, had been taken by Richery's squadron in the Straights of Belleisle. This intelligence, we are concerned to state, is in part confirmed by the London, one of the convoy, arriv'd yesterday at Portsmouth.
On the 20th ult. this convoy fell in with two French frigates cruising in the Straights of Belleisle, which captured the Jemima, Progress, Albion, Active, Earl Marchmont, Sorrel and Convention, seven of the convoy. We are happy in announcing, that the Pearl made her escape, and is arrived in the Downs. She had on board governor Simcoe and his family.
Mr. Moore, of the secretary of state's office, is appointed secretary to the commission in this country for settling American claims.
EMBARGO ON GENOESE VESSELS.
"At the court at St. James's, the 12th of October, 1796, present, the king's most excellent in council:
"Whereas his majesty has received intelligence that some ships belonging to his majesty's subjects have been, and are detained in the port of Genoa; his majesty, with the advice of his privy council, is thereupon pleased to order, and it is hereby ordered, that no ships or vessels belonging to any of his majesty's subjects be permitted to enter or clear out from Genoa, or any port within the territory of the republic of Genoa, until further order: And his majesty is further pleased to order, that a general embargo on ships, be made of all Genoese ships and vessels whatsoever, now within, or which hereafter shall come into, any of the ports, harbours, or roads, within the kingdom of Great-Britain, together with all persons and effects on board the said ships and vessels: but that the utmost care be taken for the preservation of all and every part of the cargoes on board any of the said ships and vessels; embezzlement whatever be suffered:
"And the right hon. the lords commissioners of his majesty's treasury, the lords commissioners of the admiralty, and the lord warden of the cinque ports, are to give the necessary direction herein as to them may respectively appertain."
"W. FAWKENER."
BOSTON, November 28.
Yesterday arrived brig Sally, capt. Blanchard, 38 days from London, the papers by her are to the 15th Oct. only, which is one day later than before received—they contain nothing very material—Mr. Schaw one of the King's messengers set off on the 14th for Vienna with dispatches to the Emperor, supposed to contain the plan of Lord Malmesbury's instructions, and desiring the concurrence of his Imperial Majesty to the negotiation of peace with the French. It was generally understood that the Embassy to France, would set out from London on the 15th October.
FROM LISBON.
Capt. Dagget arrived here yesterday, after a passage of 36 days from Lisbon. By him we did expect a confirmation of the capture of part of Jervis's squadron—but although he left Lisbon five days later than capt. Myrick, (who brought the report,) he heard nothing of the kind till he arrived in Boston. He confirms the account of a declaration of War by Spain against England, and of the sailing of a large Spanish fleet up the Mediterranean.

SWANN'S, Riding School, Horse Academy & Infirmary. Adjoining the Public Square, Market Street.
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 horses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the riders; 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, and that it has long been wanted in this city, every gentleman's stud will manifest, and T. SWANN as the first establisher of the veterinary art, solicits and relies upon the support of the 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. tth&c.
RANAWAY,
About the 1st of October last, from the plantation of Mr. Thomas F. Brooke, (in Prince George's county) to whom he was hired, a NEGRO MAN, named CESAR; 33 years of age; about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high; well made; of a yellowish complexion; a little pockmarked; has, when spoken to, rather a down look, and submissive tone of voice; the clothes he had before he absconded were of plain, such as labouring Negroes usually wear, but these he may probably exchange for others: he will doubtless endeavour to pass for a freeman, having, as I have been informed, assumed the name of Butler; I have reason to believe that he went to Baltimore, from whence he is said to have gone to some part of the Susquehanna, probably with a view of getting to Pennsylvania. A reward of Thirty Dollars will be given to the person who may take him and so secure him in some jail that I may get him again, if taken in this state, and Fifty dollars if taken out of the state, and if brought home or secured in the jail of Prince George's county all reasonable charges will be paid by ALEX.

Treasury of the United States.
NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the United States, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, intitled an act in addition to an act, intitled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and September for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital. Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and seventeen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the original capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then allocated, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said stock."
2d. All distinction between payments on account of Interest and Principal being thus abolished by the establishment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above described, it has become necessary to vary accordingly the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the due promulgation of this notice, viz. KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I do make, constitute and appoint my true and lawful Attorney for me and in my name, to receive the dividends which are, or shall be payable according to law, on the (here describing the stock) standing in my name in the books of (here describing the books of the Treasury or the Commissioner of Loans, where the stock is credited) from (here insert the commencement and expiration of time for which the power of attorney is to continue) with power also an attorney or attorneys under him, for that purpose to make and substitute, and to do all lawful acts requisite for effecting the premises, hereby ratifying and confirming all that my said Attorney or his substitute, shall lawfully do, by virtue hereof. In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my Hand and Seal the day of Sealed and Delivered in the presence of BE IT KNOWN, that on the day of five per centum per annum within named and acknowledged, the above letter of attorney to be his act and deed. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my Hand and affixed the seal this day and year first above said. Given under my Hand at Philadelphia, this twentieth day of July 1796, pursuant to directions from the Secretary of the Treasury. SAMUEL MEREDITH, Treasurer of the United States. July 33.

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the LAST drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the LAST but ONE. And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are old off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted; it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the insuperable impediment, SAMUEL BLODGET.
Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore; of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins, Richmond; and of Richard Wallis, Georgetown.
