FOR SALE. TO GRAZIERS. In pursuance of the last will and testament of General David Forman, deceased, will be exposed to sale, at public vendue, (on the premises) on Wednesday the 25th day of October next, at ten o'clock in the forenoon of that day, That very valuable FARM and PLANTATION, lying on the Long Marsh in Queen Anne's county, State of Maryland, containing about five hundred acres, about fifteen miles from Chester town, six from Church hill, and twelve from the head of Chester. This property is an object of very great speculation, particularly to any person in the grazing line, and in fact to any person wishing to sell their money in lands. There is a very large proportion of laid farm laid down in timothy, and will cut grates sufficient, I doubt not, to pay a neat profit of 500 dollars a-year. There are also about twenty acres more cleared and fit to lay down in grass; and what renders it more valuable is, that when once the timothy is well set, it will last any person's life time. And what is called the bed of the Marsh, (of which there is a considerable part belonging to this farm) the soil is from four to six feet deep, of a blackish loam, and will average from two and one half to three tons of timothy an acre; and for two years past all the hay which could be spared from the farm, has sold at the stack for five pounds a ton. The arable land is calculated for wheat, rye, Indian corn, and particularly for what is called kite-foot or bright tobacco; it is well timbered, and contains maple swamps, that when cleared, will make meadows equal to any on the farm. Any person wishing to purchase, can view the premises on application to Mr. Stephen Forman, on said farm. The conditions of sale will be, one half the purchase money on the first day of January next, and the remainder on the first day of May following. WILLIAM G. FORMAN, Surviving Executor. Sept. 17, 1799. 22W1250.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23.
APPROACHING ELECTION. NUMBER X.
To the Electors of Pennsylvania.
SINCE my last number, I have observed in the Aurora, some further charges against Mr. Ross...
He is charged with having abused himself, for a considerable period, from the service of the United States.
The duties of members of the legislature, do not require a total inattention to their private affairs; the compensation they receive for their services, scarcely suffices to maintain them...
Mr. Ross is charged with acting under a foreign influence; "but the truth is, that his respect for foreign nations, is regulated by his attachment to the independence, honor and happiness of his own country...
The same charge is made against all the branches of our government, and a great majority of the American people, as well as against him. It is a most atrocious libel...
upon the national character and honor of our country. Even if this calumny were true, it ought with shame and confusion to be acknowledged...
It is objected against Mr. Ross, that little opportunity has existed to discover his public talents, or his virtues!! His first entry into public life, was in the convention, which framed the state constitution.
He was then almost a youth, was known to but few of the members of that body; and had none of the adventitious advantages granted by fortune, or an illustrious ancestry.
You now stand behind the last dyke of your happiness, constitution and laws; but "if you have a hard battle to fight, you have a glorious cause to contend for;" Victory finally completes your triumph...
MILO.
HOWEVER sophistry may employ itself in shrouding truth with perversion, or interested patriotism labor to conceal under the sanctified garb of Republicanism...

due, is waged by integrity, truth, and love of country, against violent falsehood, calumny and vice—By the friends of liberty, its independence of their country, the workmen of its independence, against an out-right foreign banditti.
Amongst the Romans, the general term Barbarian was applied as an epithet of contempt to all people of every nation, not comprehended within the original Empire of Rome. From the days of the Romans to the present, every nation that has conspicuously figured upon the theatre of time, has thought it a matter of some interest to preserve the habits, customs, manners and genius of the people, from being blended in indistinguishable confusion, and lost, by the unlicensed inroads of the rabble of other countries.
The simplest of instincts (self-love) seems to have dictated this policy. Who that had been accustomed to the pure morals, the simple manners, the downright openness of an American society, could wish to see it invaded by the grimace and friponnerie of a Frenchman, or the outlandish gabble and ruffian-like insolence of a revolutionary Irishman?
Yet, strange to tell, and melancholy to behold, every barrier has been here broken down, and under the false idea of thereby increasing the strength of the nation, not only emigrants of character, but the criminals and outlaws of all nations have met an unrestrained admission and a cordial welcome to our shores, in such numbers as to form a powerful and closely united corps in the bosom of the country.
It is this powerful and desperate corps, which, animated by the stimuli so abundant in the principles of the modern Illuminati, has twice reared the bloody revolutionary Standard in Pennsylvania, has placed the Insurgents and Revolutionists, McChenachan, Findley, Smiley, and Callatin, in the National Councils, and which now threatens completely to seize upon the dejected commonwealth, under the auspices of one of their own members.
Although it be enough, that our experience of this man has shown him to be an odious compound of every evil that ever found harbour in the somnolent soul of a Jacobin, and although it be therefore of little moment so far as the question is personal to him, to enquire whether he sprang from the Bogs of Ireland, or the fens of Lerna, yet, in connection, the establishment of his country, and of course of his prejudices and attachments, will point out to us a cause powerfully operative in his behalf.
That he first drew breath in Ireland, is generally believed, and is probably the fact, as the contrary has not been proved; he certainly is of Irish descent , and prides himself upon it, since we find him President of the Hibernian Society . It is in evidence, and before the public, that he has looked with a favorable eye on the United Irishmen, and he is suspected to have been not merely a passive well-wisher to their designs. These suspicions are corroborated by his intimacy with Reynolds, and other Irish rebels in this country—to a large company of whom (and amongst the number Duane and the aforesaid Reynolds, two infamous traitors, convicts and outlaws) he lately gave a grand entertainment at his own house; and yet more powerfully by his openly willing 20,000 of those banditti to land in this country.
Added to these, there will be found a numerous body of coadjutors in the sanguinary revolutionists of France, who have found refuge in this devoted country—A class of men distinguished by their unanimous devotion to Mr. McKean, and powerful by being long trained and hardened in all those arts of intrigue and deception, so useful to vicious men, and so necessary to the cause of the Democratic candidate.
Owing his success chiefly to men of this character, they will have claims upon him, of a nature imperious, and not to be resisted.
To resist these claims, upon him, there is little probability that he possesses either sufficient graces or inclination; indeed, already have his partisans humilants held out to them the most powerful and binding nature. Whether else in fact shall we look for an adequate cause to those laborious and untiring exertions in his behalf, that alacrity with which truth and decency are sacrificed to serve him, by men who stand in the eye of the world, bankrupted in fortune and sunk in infamy—Dead to any honest state of things, and seeking a resurrection on the departed virtue and honesty of the commonwealth; as certain unfortunates, cut off by their own follies, vices or crimes from the comforts and joys of life, turn out of ordinary paths, and exert by depredations on society, the wages of infamy and everlasting execration.
That law of nature by which bodies subsist is not more powerful nor more inviolable, nor more indefeasible, than the ties which bind each of the revolutionists of America to every other. Conscious that they have "in blood and guilt slept in so far, that to return were tedious as going o'er," they bend forward to one object, animated by one impulse, guided by one interest. The ties of friendship, and the incitements to virtuous actions, are not of half the operative force of those arising from a community of guilt. Men have been always found more adventurous and daring, more careless of life, when employed in the destruction than when in the defence of governments—Conspirators and assassins are always more bold, more resolute, more secret, more united, than those they conspire against. Thus constituted, thus animated, thus disposed, are the band of Barbarians who uphold their fellow-barbarian to an office where he may more effectually complete the disgrace and ruin of the state—where he may satiate his boundless ambition and thirst for power, and where he may tyrannize at will, unawed by the frowns of virtue, and unmoved at the misery he will create around him.
The following concise and perspicuous history of the origin and progress of the recent Revolution in the Government of France, taken from a late London paper, will be read with avidity, as it will clearly unfold the character of the Agents, and the spirit of this interesting change in the government of that volcanic and unhappy nation .
[N. Y. D. Ad.]
For a long time there were only two factions existing in France—that of the Directory , and that of the Jacobins , for as to the Royalists of all sects they form no more than an opinion.
After the Directory had made its own use of the Jacobins , to produce the revolution of Fructidor (4th September) it quickly employed the immense power which its triumph gave to it, to restrain and even to enslave the Jacobin Faction, by which means it obtained it. After that came the shackles imposed on the liberty of the press, the military regime introduced nearly throughout the country, the constitutional; the displacing, in upwards of 40 departments, of the constituted authorities, formed in the year before by the primary assemblies; the exclusion from the legislative body of more than fifty deputies, nominated by the electoral assemblies; and finally, afterwards, so many acts of arbitrary power, such as transportation, imprisonments, removals, &c. without any formal trial, or by vexatious proceedings.
The oppressed faction bore with the utmost impatience, for three years the yoke of the Directory , the caprices of its jealous police; but the reverses which rapidly succeeded within these three months past, have weakened, in the public opinion, the terror inspired by the power of the Directory . The Jacobins never failed to charge on the Directory , the disorders, combined with the late elections, in which they had the majority, have added to their importance and made their enterprises more daring. Having by these means acquired a great preponderance in the councils, they dexterously availed themselves of the dangers, both external, and internal to resume their ascendancy over the Directory , the latter became less absolute and the legislature more independent. The Directory Orators sink into silence, and yield the tribunal to the anti- Directory speakers. The galleries, restrained for the last two years, resumed their former practice only to applaud the latter and to insult the Directory . It was observed, that there were numerous and frequent conventions of deputies in opposition, in which were prepared and concerted the motions and operations which were to take place in the councils. The resuscitation of the popular societies set afloat; petitions and addresses in the name of collective bodies, so long suppressed, were renewed and received. Two successive and very energetic addresses may deserve remark, coming from Grenoble, and containing a melancholy picture of the dangers of the State, a severe censure on the administration, and inviting some great measure to be taken for the salvation of the country. All this was evidently concerted with the party which triumphed.
From that time every sitting of the council of Five Hundred has been marked by some attempt of the Jacobin party, towards such independence as would restore the supreme exercise of power to the legislative body, and reduce the Directory to the functions of Executive Commissioners. This caused the message of the 5th of June, to the Directory , complaining of its silence on the dangers from without and within; and that Proclamation to the French people, containing an energetic censure of that depression under which the government has held the pure patriots, at the same time that it prohibited the real friends of liberty. Afterwards in the sitting of the 7th, a commission was instituted to prepare fit laws to secure the free exercise of the rights of the people, individual liberty, and to ascertain the responsibility of ministers; Thence, in fine, proceeding the restoration of the freedom of the Press, placed on the order of the day with vehemence, and supported by such superiority of numbers to make the result such as never could be doubtful.
The storm finally burst on the 16th. The Directory not having answered the demand sent them ten days before, for making a report on the republic, the two councils voted their sittings permanent until they should receive a satisfactory answer. The Directory , adopting the same measure of permanence, was desirous of deferring it—This delay was considered by the council as the means of preparing to put in execution a conspiracy against the legislative dodo, and talked of defensive and armed measures, insisting on the measures. At length came the message from the Directory . In this the legislative body saw nothing else but a denunciation of the two councils, for not having furnished the Directory with precautionary means to insure the triumph of the armies abroad, and from its disunion with the Executive Power, fomenting the troubles and agitations in the interior.
War was then immediately declared between the two. The crimes of the Directory , in the eyes of the councils, are for having formed against the national representation a conspiracy, all traces of which it meant to cease, by burning an immense number of papers in the office of the general police—for having retained in place, notwithstanding the repeated complaints of the legislative corps, guilty ministers—for enormous speculations, and keeping agents guilty of scandalous disipiditions of the treasures of the state—of having afforded its protection to the plunder of Italy and Switzerland, which dishonoured the Great Nation in the eyes of the Universe, and excited the indignation of all people agrint
While this was passing, the three Directors personally denounced; endeavoured to divert the storm by sending in their resignation. Treillard , as having been elevated to the dignity before the expiration of the year, which the Constitution requires to elapse between quitting the Legislative Body, and becoming a Member of the Directory . Merlin , as a miserable lawyer, more fit to follow the windings of chicane than to conduct the affairs of a mighty Empire. La Reveilliere Lepaux , as a fanatic, whom attention to his new religion has made sole light of care for the affairs of Government. The denunciation of the Directors was followed by that of the Ministers —of Scherer , who after paralyzing the armies by dilapidating, and suffering to be dilapidated, the funds destined for their support, took upon himself the command only to be beaten by the enemy;—of Francois de Neufchateau who made himself the instrument of the Directory in displacing the constituted authorities formed of the Patriots — Ramel , for having presented false statements of the Finances, and concealed the real causes of the deficit. The three Directors were immediately replaced by three Ultra Revolutionists — Gohier , Ex Minister of Justice under the Convention — Roger Du Bos , one of the most furious Ex Conventionals —the Ex General Moulin , who had a subordinate command in the war of La Vendee . A Committee has been appointed to enquire whether the denounced Generals should be put upon their trials, and it will be a difficult matter for Scherer and Reubell , whose scandalous increase of fortune has so much attracted the attention of their enemies, to escape from being capitally punished.
These first acts of the victorious party, were followed by the nomination of General Mahon to the command of the armed force of Paris, by the acquittal of General Championet and other officers who were under trial by a military Commission appointed by the Directory ; by the proposal of different measures, not yet decreed, tending to a prodigious reduction of the authority of the Executive power, and an augmentation of that of the Legislative—by measures for putting the Frontiers in a speedy state of defence against any Foreign Invasion—by the restoration of the Journal des Hommes Libres , a kind of periodical Manifesto of the Terrorists , systematically edited by a Committee of the Jacobin Faction, and which the former Directory prohibited at four times when it was resumed.
After this explanation it must be evident, that the late Revolution in Paris is altogether Jacobin . That of the 18th Fructidor (4th of September), was the work of a Directory insurrection against the Legislature—this of the 28th Prairial (16th of June) was the effort of an Insurrection of the Legislative Body against the Directory . It is remarkable, that in proportion as the theories of Revolutions come to perfection, they become less sanguinary. At the time of the Convention, matters were only decided by battles and proscriptions; that of Thermidor produced barbarous and savage transportation; in the late one, the retreat of the Directors and the displaced Ministers resembles the disgrace of Ministers under the former Government—they retired to the country places. Will the present end in the same tranquility? That cannot be expected after the animated and violent debates which produced a Revolution, to be peaceably terminated, what we may build some presumption upon is, on the latitude, under which that nation seems to suffer from the effusion of blood and the proscription of its inhabitants. What influence is it likely to have on the enemy abroad? That we shall consider in our Paper to-morrow, as our limits this day would be insufficient for that purpose. As to the effects it may produce in the interior, we have only a fresh proof that, in its volcanic nature as France, a representative can never be more than a convulsive Government and that to pretend to establish a solid and permanent peace with a Government founded on so tickle a basis, is no better than to attempt to erect a citadel upon a moving sand, and convincing us by the Revolution which has just taken place, that the powers of Government, placed in the hands of numerous assembly, more necessarily become more democratic, consequently more bordering upon anarchy, and farther removed than before from that concentrated authority, which alone can give solidity and energy.

At a meeting of the visitors and governors of St. John's college in the State of Maryland, on the 13th day of July 1799. Resolved, That on the first day of October next, this board will proceed to elect a Professor of Eng- lish and Grammar, who shall receive, for his ser- vices, at the rate of £200 per annum, to be paid quarterly; and that public notice thereof be given, &c. &c. A. C. HANSON, Treas. N. B. The office aforesaid hath just become va- cant, by the resignation of a gentleman, whose affairs require, the immediate undertaking of a voyage by sea. It is the duty of the said Professor (to whom is allowed an assistant) to teach the English language grammatically, and to prepare students for a super- ior school, by teaching them the Latin grammar the Vocabulary, and Cordery. Writing is to be taught to all his scholars at stated hours; and to those students who are not destined for the superior school, are to be taught, at the discretion of their parents, or guardians, arithmetic, and other branches of scientific knowledge taught in Eng. schools. A complete knowledge of the Latin, Arith- metic, &c. is considered indispensable in the profes- sion; and it is expected, that candidates who are not known to the Board, will submit to an exami- nation, as well as produce satisfactory testimonials of their good morals and fair characters. The Printers within the United States are re- quested to insert in their papers the foregoing res- olution and remarks, and to repeat the public no- tice, as often as convenience will admit, until the 20th day of September next.

MILITARY LAND WARRANTS. To the Holders of THE Subscriber having lately returned from viewing the land, surveyed and appropri- ated to satisfy the land warrants, issued by the secretary at war, to the officers and soldiers of the late continental army; and having made arrangements with Mr. James Johnston, of Chester county, Pennsylvania, who he left on the land, and who with the assistance of an in- telligent inhabitant of that country, will spend five months in exploring the different sections. He will take regular notes, descriptive of the soil, situation, and natural advantages attached to each section in the whole survey—which notes will be placed in the hands of the subscriber pre- vious to the period for locating, thereby en- abling him to make the most advantageous lo- cations the priority will admit. He offers his service to the holders of land warrants of the above description, throughout the United States, to receive their warrants, class them, (as no less quantity than 400 acres will be registered at the office of the treasury) have them registered agreeable to law, and attend to make the location at the time appointed in February next. For transacting the business, one tenth part of the land specified in the warrants will be re- quired, and no other charge, except the postage of letters. All warrants forwarded and letters addressed to the subscriber, at No. 3, Penn-street, Philadelphia, will receive immediate attention. JAMES E. SMITH. September 2. m.w.f.s.f.
WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) BAYAD 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 preferred 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 appreciate, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations. Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Som- erville, Maiden Lane, New-York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Tuck, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Boston and other places, as soon as occasions offer.] may 28
Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Pri- vate Papers of that Body, now first per- mitted to be made public. TERMS. THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 3 dollars, 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print man- ner than the number subscribed for, a consider- able rise on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Govern- ment.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the com- mencement of their governments, are lost in dark- ness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public re- cords, and the attention of the nation, in these rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our day? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authen- ticated public records, and renders them almost in- estimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, there- fore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in trans- mitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors —founders of the Columbian nation. The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798." "To the Honorable the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives of the United States." "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia,"
"Respectfully presents, "That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con- gress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he hath obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecu- ting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorials may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves."

The Swift-Sure, A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Burlington, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Spring- field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populou- sness of the country through which it pas- ses, with tundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswicks, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Thor- oughfare 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 circumstances, 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 Burlington, where it stops to Breakfast; from Burlington it goes through Newtown to Penny-town to dinner; from Penny-town through Hopewell, Millstone, Boundbrook, 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 Edward Bardin, Old Coffee-house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtlandt, corner of Greenwich Street, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 42, Broad-street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars. Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each passenger is allowed to take on 14 lbs. 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 stage-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. on the value, as insurance, and for which he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance, if he eliminates his package at one dollar, he will pay one cent; and if at one hundred dollars, he will pay one dollar insurance, and in like pro- portion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike this regulation; it will, however, be optional with every one to avail himself of this security or not. But the proprietors think it right to state very explicitly, that they will be respon- sible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insur- ance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and ta- verns as always afford a good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The stages are well equipped furnished with fleet and steady horses, and com- mitted to the care of intelligent sober and ob- liging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the per- sons they employ is continually an object of their attention. They take care also to see that the passengers are well provided for and politely treated at the taverns, and that no sort of chican- ery or idleness is practised upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expense to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best line of stages in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, dur- ing which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Every passenger has found the road to surpass very far all that has been said of its excellence; and the Proprietors of the Swift- Sure are extremely happy to hear the behaviour of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns spoken of with the highest satisfaction.
