That a certain John Collins had in consequence of fraudulent deeds poll, obtained patents for two certain tracts of land, one situate in the county of Northumberland, surveyed to Samuel Caldwell in pursuance of a warrant dated in 1774; and the other situate new in Luzerne county, surveyed to said Caldwell by a warrant also dated in 1774—and requested that patents might be granted, for the said tracts, to William Cramond, Edward Tilghman, John Ashley, and Thomas Stewardson, trustees of the estate of Samuel Caldwell, surviving partner of James Meece, as the said two tracts were part of the estate of Meece and Caldwell. Whereupon the Board having considered the same, ordered that at least sixty 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.

A GRAND REVIEW IN HYDE PARK.
To celebrate the King's Birth Day.
Soon after 5 o'clock yesterday morning, the different volunteer corps, in and about London, began to assemble in their respective exercising grounds; and by half past eight the line was completely formed in Hyde Park; the right of the line beginning close to the Serpentine River, on the north side, and extending across the upper part of the Park, to the wall joining to the Aston Road—from thence along the same wall to the New Gate facing Great Cumberland-street; and from thence down Park, along the walnut trees, by the reservoir, to the corner next to Lord Bathurst's house; making, in all, a line of nearly three miles; the whole amounting to about nine thousand effective men.
The early part of the morning proved extremely unfavorable, heavy showers of rain having fallen between the hours of five and nine, by which means the troops appeared certainly to disadvantage, but the weather fortunately about this period began to brighten; and a more noble and gratifying sight never was observed on any one occasion before.
Precisely at nine o'clock, the approach of His Majesty was announced by the discharge of a gun; and a few minutes thereafter entered the Park with an immense suite, which was also announced to the surrounding crowds by a royal salute of 21 guns.
His Majesty having arrived at the centre of the line, a general salute began nearly at the same moment, and all the bands of music, with drums and fies playing "God save the King."
Immediately after this, His Majesty rode slowly along the whole line, which took up nearly the space of an hour. Having then returned on the centre again, the firing began from right to left, each corps firing a volley, and this was repeated three different times. The firing having then ceased, three good old English cheers were given by the troops in honor of the day, in which they were most cordially and heartily joined by at least 10,000 spectators.
The different Corps then passed His Majesty in open columns, and marched off the ground to their respective places of meeting, where they were discharged. We are thus particular in giving without any exception the grandest sight ever seen in Hyde Park, and certainly the most gratifying to the feelings of His Majesty, who then witnessed Ten Thousand Volunteers and effective men, trained, armed, and accoutred, at their own expence, in support of his Royal Person and Government. The fight was truly noble.
His Majesty was attended by the Prince and all the Royal Dukes, together with all officers of either rank or distinction in the metropolis; and considering the number of troops, and the great inconvenience from the crowd, the whole went off with the utmost regularity and precision, which is entirely attributed to the Noble Field Marshal, the Duke of York, who commanded.
This grand review was concluded about half past twelve o'clock. The King was highly pleased with the Martial conduct of the troops and the Loyalty of the People. Wherever His Majesty passed he was received with the loudest acclamations.
Her Majesty, on the King's Birth Day, Was Magnificently attired in a white crape petticoat, embroidered with real silver spangles, in imitation of forked lightning, across the coat, over each corner of which flowed blue crape draperies, richly spangled with real silver, and drawn up in festoons with four diamond chain bands, and four brilliant roses, at equal distances on each band, terminated with large brilliant roses, and tassels of immense value. The bands were edged with blue laurel which gave a fine contrast and addition, a lustre to the diamonds; blue laurel and diamond bands also ran from the top to the bottom of both draperies, and which were additionally ornamented with blue laurel, fastened with four brilliant stars. A full source of double plated blue silver lace, edged with Spangles. Body and train of rich blue and silver tissue, trimmed with
very broad silver lace and blue laurel; and exclusive of the diamond Romacher, neck-lac, ear-rings, and other superb ornaments, exhibited the honour of the day. Her Majesty wore on her cap a most magnificent diamond bandeau of uncommon splendour and immense value, composed of large collets with nine brilliant matchless fize and perfection, surmounted with a diamond crown in the centre. The tout ensemble of her Majesty's dress, on this joyful occasion, surpassed every thing we can remember to have seen, and did great credit to the taste of Mrs. Bruce.
The fashionable colours among the Ladies were lilac and yellow in particular, and brown and pale green. A profusion of tall feathers was worn in the head. Scarcely any Lady had less than three; but the head dress was so light that they would not stand upright, and they greatly embarrassed many Ladies. Scarcely one Lady appeared in powder. Boquets were much worn. The hair was dressed much as usual, in bows and bands, in the Grecian stile, the heads to look long and flat. There was little or no novelty in the trimmings. Some Ladies appeared, contrary to the Court-etiquette, without ruffles, to display their embroidered sleeves which seemed to be the principal part of their dress.
FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.
Examination of the four Coachmen belonging to the Margrave of Baden, who were to have driven the French plenipotentiaries to Seltz.
In compliance with the demand of the Sub-delegation of Baden, the undersigned proceeded to the examination of the four Coachmen who were yesterday evening to have conducted the French Ministers by the way of Plittersdorf to Seltz.
Andrew Cuspard declares in his deposition that he drove the carriage of the Minister Jean Debry; that at his departure he had been ordered by the Minister Bonnier to answer, in case he should be stopped and asked whom he drove, that they were the French Ministers; that he was in effect stopped by some of the Royal Imperial Hussars, at the entrance of the valley of Rheinau; that the aforesaid question was put to him, to which he gave the answer as directed; that being asked where Bonnier was, and the name of the person whom he drove he answered Bonnier was in the second carriage, and Jean Debry was in his; that on this information a greater number of Hussars rode up to the carriage, and dragged out of it the Minister Debry and the Ladies with him, and immediately attacked the former with their sabres, pulled the woman after them, and searched them; that he himself received a blow with the flat of a sabre, on which he dropped down between his horses, that he was then asked who he was, and having answered he was Coachman of the Margrave he was assured no injury should be done to him.
2. James Ohnweiler deposes, that he saw Jean Debry receive several blows with sabres but at the same time some Hussars rode up to his carriage, which was the third, and asked him who was in it, that having answered he drove Bonnier, several Hussars rode up to the doors on both sides of the carriage and cried, "Alight, Bonnier!" They instantly broke the windows, dragged the Minister out, and massacred him before his eyes at the side of his saddle horse; that they afterwards plundered the Minister, and the contents in the carriage, that he also thought he heard Bonnier make lamentations in French, and pronounce the word "pardon."
3. James Weiss deposes, that he drove the fourth carriage, in which was the Secretary of Legation, Rofetiel; that he saw Debry and Bonnier dragged out of the carriages which were before, the treatment experienced by the former happened at too great a distance for him to make observations, but he distinctly heard the Hussars cry—"Where is Bonnier?" That he saw them drag Bonnier out of the carriage, strike him at the same time with their sabres on the legs, and cut him to pieces, when he fell on the ground. With respect to Roberjot, the Hussars after the massacre of Bonnier, galloped to his carriage and cut him to pieces. Roberjot bathed as he was in his blood, given still some signs of life, a Hussar on foot struck him six times with his sabre.
4. The fourth coachman deposes, that his carriage was at the same time attacked by the Hussars. He was asked the name of the Minister whom he drove, but as he did not know, they applied to the servant on the coach box, and having learned that it was Roberjot, they said, "Ah! it is he!" They opened the door, dragged out the Minister, and by the order of one of the under Officers, who spoke Hungarian, they massacred him in a horrible manner, stripped him of his cloaths, and renewed their attacks while there appeared the least sign of life. Madame Roberjot was also torn out of the carriage, and entreated them repeatedly, in bad German, to put her to death with her husband.

The Queen this morning accompanied the King part of the way to his review in Madjeburgh—Westphalia, Anspach, and Bareith.—Sieyes left Berlin on the 23d to accept the office of Director. Previous to his departure he had a quarter of an hour's conversation with the King, at a ball given by the Queen.
An article dated from Strasburgh on the 27th, three days after Massena's action, mentions that, "the Austrians were in possession of Winterthur, on the right bank of the Thur, and that the Swiss Convention, after naming a Committee of seven persons, who, together with the Executive Directory, were to exercise all the authority of the State, and dissolved itself, and that the Directory, Sec. had retired from Lucerne to Arau."

BERMUDA, June 29.
By a vessel this evening from Barbadoes after a short passage, we learn, that a British packet was arrived at that island from England in 28 days, with the important intelligence of the total overthrow and defeat of the French army in Italy; and that the army of Buonaparte in Egypt had taken the plague, which made such havoc as to destroy a thousand daily of it; and that the French forces near the Rhine were flying before the victorious army of the Archduke Charles.
The ship Active, Simpson, which arrived a few days since from London with provisions, &c. for the troops, fails for Barbadoes in a few days.
Arrived this day a prize schooner to the Fame, from Turks Islands with passengers, missing about 8 weeks. Provisions are very scarce at that Island at present.
The weather is so intensely hot that the troops are not allowed to work on the Kings works until the season is further advanced and becomes cool,—a very necessary precaution at present.
The number of prizes lately taken going to and coming from St. Domingo under pretended neutral colours, and sent into New Providence and Jamaica, are astonishing, among which are many true Americans; the others are chiefly under Danish colours.—Very few escaped condemnation.
July 20.
This day failed the brig Commerce, G. Muffon, for London, in which went passengers capt. Hardyman, of the 49th reg. and Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and family; she has on board a very valuable cargo.
The sloop Hannah, Seymour, which arrived from Tobago last week, on her passage the 4th of July, spoke the privateer ship barke Mary Wentworth, J. seph Freeman, master, (to the southward) 15 days out, all well. Had then taking nothing.
Passed by on Monday the sloop —, C. Jones, master, from Alexandria, bound for Barbadoes.
The brig, —, Stoddard, from New York, for Bermuda, which failed in February last, was upset in a squall two days after; some of the crew got into the boat and were all froze to death except two men, who lived many days upon the flesh of the unfortunate captain. A vessel picked them up at sea.
We are sorry to say that the avarice of many of the American merchants is such, that they overload their vessels which make them so crank, that they easily overset, and great numbers of valuable seamen perish by that means. Many vessels have arrived here (some in distress) with their decks absolutely under water. Some vessels have put in here in distress from the continent lately in so rotten a condition as to be condemned and their cargoes sold. A regular list of such will be given in future for the information of the insurance companies.
NEW-YORK, August 12.
The letters under the signature of Massena, admit of some remarks.

It appears also, that the French on leaving Genoa, laid a heavy contribution. Thus, they not only take a place and lay contribution, but demand it when driven away.

BOSTON, August 8.
It has ever been affected by men of penetration, that the French revolution would consume itself by its own heat. The time has already arrived, when the glare of conquest no longer dazzles the eyes of the French nation when they must see, what they sensibly feel, the systemized and unparalleled dilapidations of their palm-itching rulers and when they will begin to curse their venal administration, in common with other nations. It can no longer be denied, even by the refined theorist in modern philosophy, that the man, who has no local attachments, and none, but abstract principles has no pledge to offer to his country for his fidelity and that his rarified and expanded philanthropy, whatever it may be in theory, will center in himself in practice, and make it his first object to enrich his coffers at the public expense, and when he can piller no more, to retire from office and enjoy the sweet of his plunder.
It is the curse of almost every honorable service, to have partisans who disgrace it; and who are void of every principle, except influence and rapine: such we learn with regret are some few of the commanders of British cruizers in the West-India seas; whose piratical conduct must excite the contempt and indignation of those gallant officers who so nobly venture their lives to restore to Europe, its government, property and franchises.
From the GENTINEL.
THE FOREIGN ARTICLES Which contain the debates and denunciations in the French councils, are highly important. They develop situations and circumstances, which, though for a long time pronounced audibly in the United States, have been denied with tenacity; and have been heard in France only in whispers, commented on with half-made shrugs, and communicated to the world with the most timid caution. The brilliant successes of the allied arms, have worked miracles; they have caused the deaf to hear; the dumb to utter; and the blind to see. The consequences have been, that even Frenchmen now declare; and even Frenchmen perceive—that they have been duped and betrayed; that the press has been padlocked; and the truth baffled; that the most shameful dilapidations have been made on the public treasures, by men who despised responsibility, and who were bold enough to practice their cupidity with "unwashed hands;" that distress and desertion have been the effect in those armies, which, as Carnot says, "do not live at the expense of the enemy," and the cause of numerous defections of the conspirators; the apathy, avarice and want of public spirit in the interior; and the innumerable murders and assassinations which deluge the republic. Hearing and seeing these things, it appears the people begin to speak to their rulers; making enquiry into the state of affairs; that some of the councils, not having the fear of Cayenne before their eyes, exhibit a determination to unmask the villains, whether they be clothed in the purple which covers the representatives of the people, or the mantle which envelopes the director; and that it is the executive directory which is first to be implicated, it is evident from the indignity shewn to Rewbell. (a late director) in passing to the order of the day on his motion exculpatory of his late brethren.
Notwithstanding all Rewbell's challenges about contracts, and his modest with never to rise above mediocrity, he is said to be the richest individual in the French republic. As the French want "a great deal of money," he, perhaps is marked as the fatted calf for the sacrifice.

The following facts, are selected from Rose's "Brief Examination into the increase of the revenue, commerce and manufactures of Great-Britain, from 1792, to 1799."
 That Great-Britain is now raising within the year, by a war tax, a large proportion of the whole supplies.  That to carry on the present war, reckoning from the year 1793, to 1798 inclusive, the government of Great-Britain has created a capital by loans, amounting to 169,927,789 pounds; to pay the interest, management &c. of which, she raises a tax, equal to £7,931,215, independent of her taxes, to pay the interest &c. of the debt created before the year 1793.  That amidst all the difficulties of the war, and urgency of providing money to carry it on, she has not trenchered in the smallest degree on the fund allotted, for the extinction of the old and new national debt, and has with inflexible perseverance, pursued the measure, of providing in every new loan, a surplus for the redemption of it.  That the sinking fund of 1786, and the sinking fund of 1792, amount to £4,294,043.  That the sinking fund of 1786, has redeemed of the capital, of the old debt, £28,677,689; and the sinking fund of 1792 of the capital created in the present war £8,794,082: so that there has been a total capital actually redeemed, amounting to £37,381,771.  That, by the sole operation of these sinking funds, without any further intervention of Parliament, supposing the 3 per cents to be on an average at £75, the capital of the old debt, which was about £240,000,000 will be completely redeemed, in the year 1842: and if the same price is assumed, in computing the period of redemption of the new debt, created since the war, the 3 per cents will be redeemed in less than thirty five years, from the time of making each loan: But at the present price, viz. 53 3/4, the 3 per cents, created by new loans, would be redeemed, in twenty three years and a quarter from the time each was made.  That the old taxes, existing previous to the war, have produced annually, on an average of seven years, from 1792-£1,080,000 more than on an average of seven years of peace preceding, notwithstanding the imposition of new taxes, to the amount of £7,500,000 a year, within the same period.  That the imports into Great-Britain have on a similar average, during the last seven years, exceeded those in the former period of seven years of peace, annually £4,230,000.  That the British manufactures exported have on a similar average, during the last seven years, exceeded those in the former period, annually £4,008,000.  That foreign goods and manufactures exported from Great-Britain, have on a similar average, during the last seven years, exceeded those in the former period, annually £5,085,000.  That the probable balance of the trade of Great-Britain, is in her favor on an average of the last four years, to the extent of about £14,800,000 per annum. 
The preceding facts ought to be well weighed by our politicians, and the considerable and reflecting part of the community. Admitting, what cannot be doubted, the correctness of the facts, to Great Britain in her decrepitude, or at the eve of a general dissolution, political, moral and financial? It is with this nation, so competent to every purpose of war and every public exigency of state; so flourishing in her commerce and revenue; and so triumphant at sea, that
the sage writer of the letter to Mazzei; and the lesser sages, who peep abroad for a moment, in morning and evening Chronicles, Aurora's and Examiners, think it advisable, the United States should avoid all commercial or political connexion, least they be overwhelmed in her fall, which a few weeks ago, was considered as inevitable.
The United States, you say, have perceived the danger of French principles. Good my friend, and what preservative have they provided? They have fortified their harbors. Very well. They have taken measures to provide an immediate, and an eventual army. Very well. They have also directed a species of reprisals, and interdicted trade with France. All very good. But now tell me, my friend, when does government intend to dispatch their ministers to the Directory, and are these wise men, to obtain an article, in the New Treaty, to exclude the introduction of French principles?
No. XI. To the Managers of the Alms House and House of Employ.
GENTLEMEN, YOUR more able advocate, as Charitas calls him, has condescended to make an apology to the gentleman whom he insulted in the public papers without cause or provocation.
While he is in that spirit, justice requires that he should make one to your physicians, for an obvious, though indirect, accusation of cruelty. Their feelings and medical reputation imperiously demand it, and nothing but a confession of the error can extenuate the charge, unless you will give a correct statement from your records, which can be readily done, if you have kept any; this explanation is due to yourselves, as well as your doctors, for if the position is true that 261 out of the whole number of 606 persons, are proper subjects of a hospital, 192 able to work, and 153 children, you are placed in a very singular and awkward situation: Guardians of a House of Employ in which little or nothing is done, and Managers of an Alms House, in which, excepting what care the children may require, there is not an object that comes within the original design of such an institution!
Permit me now to make some further remarks upon your 7266 paupers, maintained, as you say, in the Alms House: In order to make up this number which is exhibited to us as a just statement, every person that remains 12 months in the house, is counted, monthly, and in summoning up the annual returns, made to count 12; and every one, that has been 11 months, 11 distinct persons, and so on throughout the year; in order to shew the fallacy of this mode of calculation, if elucidation is necessary; suppose you were to count them daily, and sum up the daily returns annually, the number of your paupers would then be 220,825; more than three times as many as the whole city contains.
This you may object to as being quite too wild, but remember, it is but an extension of your own principle; if this proposition takes, you may tell the public that you maintain this mighty host of paupers a year, for the trifling sum of £12,284.11.7.
This, as it relates to the general principle of truth or error, would be as proper as your annual statement; for you will find it is as easy to make the people believe, that the whole of this excessive number passed through your house in that time, as that one ninth of the inhabitants of Philadelphia are indebted to public charity for support. As this strange and deceptive statement, is the essence of your account, and the only source from which a probable idea of economical or profuse expenditure can be drawn, I hope you will forgive me for presenting the reflecting mirror once more before you; and however you may be disposed to consider these hints, I am not without hope that they may serve as land marks to your successors and assist them to avoid those shoals, on which the institution is in danger of stranding.
Piracy.
I am informed by Joseph Yznardi, Esq. acting as American consul at Cadiz, that the mate and four of the seamen of the American brigantine Nancy, whereof Stephen Muniens was master, piratically took her cables in the Bay of Cadiz, in the night of the 7th of June last, and carried her out to sea without her papers. The said brigantine is a square sterned vessel, 86 feet in length, 26 in breadth, 10 in depth, of the burthen of 191 3/4 tons, and had on board a cargo as follows,
  21 butts of Sherry wine, 14 barrels do of 11 arroves each,   60 quarter casks do at 7 1/2 do 100 barrels do of 4 1/2 do   109 butts, 10 half do. } Catalen wine,   3 butts brandy, 4 do } Vinegar,   12 half do } 3000 jars of oil,   3000 jars of oil, 800 do olives,   100 boxes paper. 
All custom-house officers and others are therefore requested to seize and detain the said brigantine and the said mate and seamen, to the end that they may be dealt with according to law and right.

Arrived ship Polly, Drummond, 57 days from the Island of Jersey near England.—The Polly was on her passage from Liverpool when she was taken by a French privateer and afterwards retaken by the English and sent into Jersey, where she was cleared on paying salvage. Passenger, Captain Hackel, of the Schooner Mary, of Norfolk, whose vessel was taken by a French privateer, on her passage from Surinam to Hamburg, and retaken by the English and cleared; afterwards had the misfortune again to fall into the paws of the French and vessel and cargo condemned at Morlaix. The fchr. Alert, of Beverly, captured some time since by the French, was retaken and arrived at Jersey May 20th. She was in possession of the French and had a French cargo on board; the name on her stern had been rubbed out but was visible, and it is expected the right owner may obtain her again by paying salvage.

August 2, off Nantucket shoals, spoke the ship Mars, West from Liverpool, for Philadelphia, out 50 days.
By arrivals yesterday.
The Adventure, captain Hutchinson, arrived here yesterday, via St. Kitts. Sailed from Antigua the 24th ult. to join the English fleet at St. Kitts, in which were about 70 sail of American vessels a number of which were for America—left the convoy on the 1st of August, in lat. 22, 30.
Captain Hutchinson informs, that on the 25th July, at night, Schooner William, Lamb, of New-York, was cut out of the harbour of Bastarre, by five Frenchmen, who had been prisoners at St. Kitts, and were permitted to go on board another vessel to assist in loading her to sail with the convoy, whose boat they took away, and possessed themselves of the William; when they massacred one of her people as he was coming out of the steerage, and made several attempts to board ax several others. They said they were going to take the Schooner into St. Fulais. The captain of the William was not on board at the time.
After these villains got out three leagues at sea, they met the William's men adrift, and after rowing all night they arrived at Bastarre.
Yesterday arrived here the brig Alfred, of Providence, Capt. D. Lee, in 29 days from Surinam.—Left there nearly 50 sail of American vessels, amongst which were the ships Washington, Bunce, of New-York—ship Rose, Chase, of Newport—brig Almira, Waite, Portland, to sail in 6 days—Between the 1st, and 10th of July, there were captured within 5 leagues of Surinam River, 6 American vessels, viz. fchr. Sally, Larobee, n. Yarmouth, fchr. May, D. Lee, n. Yarmouth, a fchr. S. Clark, Boston; fchr. John, Lufkin, of Gloucester—ransomed his vessel, and arrived at Surinam—two other Schooners were seen beating up for Cayenne, in company with a French privateer. Left the United States sloop of war Portsmouth, lying off the mouth of Surinam river.
There had just arrived at Cayenne a French 36 gun frigate, and an express-boat was dispatched from Paramaribo, to inform her of the Portsmouth's being there. It was expected she would come round to attack the Portsmouth.
POSTSCRIPT.
BALTIMORE, August 10. Extract of a letter from an intelligent gentleman at Barrada, to his friend here, dated July 29.
"A civil war has broken out in Hispaniola. I will not attempt to detail the causes that led to this event; it is sufficient to know that it exists, and is conducted with brutal ferocity. The favorable reception given to the English by Toussaint, is the plea urged by Rigaud in defence of his conduct. He accuses the former with an intention of delivering up the island to them, or at least of putting it under their protection. The real object of contention is power, the one being resolved to preserve the supreme command, the other equally desirous to possess it.
When Hedouville was sent off to France, he wrote Rigaud, and directed him to assume the command, should he observe Toussaint was about to take any steps to render the island independent. From that moment Rigaud endeavoured, by means of his agents, to gain over the several chiefs to his party; and when he believed the crisis was arrived in which he might declare himself openly, he marched a body of troops to Petit Goave, which was taken, delivered up to pillage, and most of the whites massacred. The standard of revolt was now reared. He expected at Port-au-Prince the same scene would take place, the chief of which was gained, and he counted upon the exertions of his adherents at Gonaives, Port-de-Paix, Mole St. Nicholas, Jean Rabel, and other places. Most of these plans have been discovered, and all of them prevented, except at the Mole, where a regiment which was ordered to march, expelled the commandant, and took possession of the town and fort. The persons of the inhabitants and property have hitherto been respected. The sails and rudders of the vessels which lie in port were taken on shore; though it is said they have since been restored to them. An army of 30,000 men is on its march to that place, and as the garrison is but small, it may be soon reduced. After the capture of Petit Goave, a party advanced as far as Grand Goave, and took possession of a block house—they are now surrounded by a detachment of Toussaint's army, and must be soon forced to surrender.
"Toussaint has punished some of the chiefs who have been found to have been in intelligence with Rigaud, by blowing them off at the mouth of cannon. It is supposed that these severe examples will intimidate the others who may be discontented, and as he has an army of 10,000 men under his command, he is supposed to be the strongest party, especially as Beauvais, who commands at Jacmel, has declared for him. Rigaud has been proclaimed a rebel by Raume, and the agents of the Executive directory. All vessels going to his party, are to be reputed lawful prizes. Barges and vessels of force are fitting out by both parties, and it appears to be more than mere report that the barges of Rigaud have put to death the crews of one or more French vessels which they have captured.
"Which of those two chiefs may gain the day, is doubtful, but while hostilities exist between them there can be but little security for the American commerce—even should the communication be opened. The risk which must be run from the barges of either party, will be great; and should the vessels arrive safe, the number of lands taken from Agriculture to recruit the armies, will render coffee scarce, and prevent either administration or individuals from performing their engagements.
"I know not on what footing the English trade with Hispaniola is to be placed. By a proclamation of the king, the governor of Jamaica is authorised to grant passes to vessels, for certain ports; but 3 English vessels are at Port-au-Prince under Spanish colours—they carried them a very reasonable supply of provisions, flour being at 40 dollars per barrel, and other articles in proportion. They have served to augment the price of coffee, and it may be raised to high as to render it, when the trade is permitted, an unprofitable article of remittance.
"One piece of intelligence more—is reported and generally believed, that positive orders have been given by a rival Parker, to stop the ship Kinglton if she should be met with, and lead her to Jamaica."
* The vessel which took out Dr. Stevens, the American agent to Hispaniola.

THE BAVIAD AND MÆVIAD.
By WILLIAM GIFFORD, ESQUIRE.
To which is prefixed, A POETICAL EPISTLE TO THE AUTHOR By an American Gentleman.
[In introducing this celebrated work to the Gen- tlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amuse- ment 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 advan- tage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle, which is prefixed to it, and which must be ex- tremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Ameri- cans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations.
Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Sam- uel Miller, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston.
Copies will be sent to Bingham and other places, as soon as occasions offer.] May 28

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of
Bullfield, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Spring- field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populou- sness of the country through which it pas- ses, with many other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Thorough- fare from Philadelphia to New-York. During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken, and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained.—There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required at the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is among the least of its advantages, because daily expe- rience proves to us, that dispatch as well as com- fort in travelling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country, and, in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It presents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstance, added to the beauty of the country, and a con- siderable proportion of shade, must always ren- der travelling in the latter season peculiarly a- greeable.
The Swift Sure starts from PHILADEL- PHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth Street. It goes through Frankford to Bullfield, where it stops to Breakfast; from Bullfield it goes through Newtown to Penny-town to dinner; from Penny-town through Hopewell, Millstone, Bound-brook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it stops at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New- York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York, application may be made to Ed- ward Bardin, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathew, corner of Nassau and John Streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtland, corner of Greenwich Street, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 43, Broad Street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars.
Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each passenger is allowed to take on 14lbs. of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage, taken on by a passenger, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weight.
With respect to packages sent on without passengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a regulation, which, though unknown to other lines of stages, they think must meet with general approbation. They pledge them- selves to make good every package on the fol- lowing conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office shall see it entered in the package-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then state the value of the pack- age, and pay (exclusive of the carriage) one per cent
