At a special meeting of the Board of property in Lancaster, June 24, 1799.
Present, Daniel Brodhead, Sec. Gen., John Hall, Secretary, Francis Johnston, Reg. Gen. of the Land office.
The petition of Thomas Stewardson on behalf of himself and the other trustees for the estate of Samuel Caldwell, surviving partner of James Meele, bearing date Philadelphia, 5th Month 17th 1799, stated as follows, viz. 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 Crammond, Edward Tilghman, John Ahlsey, and Thomas Stewardson, trustees of the estate of Samuel Caldwell, surviving partner of James Meele, as the said two tracts were part of the estate of Meele 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.

Late and Important.
NEW-YORK, August 5. Arrived on Saturday last, ship Boyne, captain Ridd, in 47 days from London.
By this vessel we have received London papers to the 10th of June, inclusive, which is three days later than any European information heretofore had from that quarter.
Conceiving the great anxiety of our Fellow-Citizens to peruse the latest information from the scene of hostilities, we hasten to lay the following extracts before them:
LONDON, June 8. It was last night reported, and understood to be confirmed in the House of Commons, that intelligence from Lord St. Vincent, the Brest fleet was blocked up in Toulon.
We cannot withhold our congratulations on the happy and prosperous state of public affairs. In the seventh year of the war; a war unexampled in the history of mankind, Mr. Pitt comes forward to provide for Thirty Millions of expenditure for the current year, without oppressing the poor, or checking the spirit and enterprise of trade or commerce. The following are the new modifications or taxes; and we request our readers to turn their particular attention to the account of the proceedings last night in the House of Commons, which is uncommonly interesting.
  TAXES.    British sugar, left for home consumption, 1,700,000 cwt. at 8d. 56,000  Clayed sugar, from British plantations, in addition to other duties, 200,000 cwt. estimated at 3s. per cwt. 40,000  British plantation sugar exported, withheld 2/6 per cwt. of the drawback, in addition to 3s. now detained on 358,000 cwt. 62,000  East India sugar exported, 76,000 cwt. at 6/6.  Foreign plantation sugar exported, at 2/6 per cwt. on 117,000 cwt. 14,000  Refined sugar exported, 4s. per cwt. of the bounty now payable to be withheld on 190,000 cwt. 30,000  Coffee exported in 1798, exclusive of Ireland, 327,000 cwt. at 4s. 65,000  750,000 Notes annually, at 2d. each, would be 62,000. but in a matter of so much uncertainty, suppose only 40,000  316,000  
It is supposed there are notes under 40s. circulating in the Northern countries to the amount of 400,000. chiefly of 20s. each. In Scotland it is difficult to form a probable conjecture of the number, but the amount can hardly be less than 1,000,000. (perhaps twice as much) estimated the whole in Great Britain at 1,500,000. and the notes to be issued once in two years, is probably moderate.
June 9. The Hamburg mail of the 31st arrived in town last night by express, and has brought the important intelligence of the TOTAL DEFEAT of the FRENCH ARMIES in Italy, the junction of the Imperial armies in Switzerland, &c.
After a battle which lasted 14 hours, Moreau, feverily wounded, with three of his generals and 6,000 men have been made prisoners by the Russians, who left 8,000 of the enemy dead on the field of battle. The following is the official account of the action, published at Milan, by General Suwarow, on the 14th ult.
"On the 13th, at 5 o'clock in the morning, the French were attacked by the Austro-Russian army in their strong position between Turin and Coni. The battle was most bloody, and lasted till night. It will be one of the most memorable in history, and was ultimately terminated in our favor. "The French have lost 8,000 men killed on the field. Six thousand prisoners are already in our possession. We have 3,000 men killed, and wounded. The French have lost almost all their artillery. One hundred and fifty pieces of cannon, and 200 ammunition waggons are now in our possession. Four of the enemy's generals are taken prisoners, including the General in Chief, Moreau."
A letter from Milan, of the 14th, states this account to have decided the fate of Italy. The Russians on the 14th took Valenza by assault. Alessandria, as well as Turin is now in possession. The Piedmontese peasants have occupied Mount Cenis, and thereby cut off the remnant of Moreau's army from France.
Defeat of Macdonald's army.
A letter from Berlin, of the 28th ult. states that a messenger had that day arrived from Italy, with advice that the corps of general Macdonald, which had advanced through Tuscany, for the purpose of joining the army of Moreau, had been attacked by the Austro-Russian army, near Lucca, and totally defeated, and their commander made prisoner.
Passage of the Rhine by the Austrians.
On the 22d the whole of the Imperial troops stationed at the Bregenz country crossed the Rhine between Bregenz and Feldkirch, in three columns, and, after some ineffectual opposition from the French between Winterthur and Zurich, penetrated into the canton of Uri, where they were joined by several armed peasants—thus forming an uninterrupted communication between the armies of the Archduke and General Suwarow.
The corps of General Nauendorff crossed the Rhine at five o'clock on the morning of the 21st, and immediately advanced his head quarters to Singen. The enemy had previ-
ously abandoned Constance, and the entire of the Southern bank of the Rhine, and retired with precipitation towards Zurich. On the morning of the 23d the Archduke, with the remainder of his army, was to cross the Rhine at Stein and Schaffhausen, and immediately to pursue the enemy.
The whole of the Cantons, of Schaffhausen, Appenzell, Uri, and Schwitz, are now in possession of the Austrians. The position of Malsena at Zurich, is, therefore, not tenable, and his retreat is opposed by the most formidable difficulties. The next mail will, we trust, bring advice of his having shared the fate of Serrurier and Moreau.
The capture of Genoa by the English, Turks and Russians, has been officially announced by Colonel Baron d'Aspre, commander of the Imperial advanced posts at Reggio, to the Regency of Modena. The report of general Angerau being made prisoner with his corps, in endeavoring to succour the place, is not confirmed.
June 10. Our Plymouth letters by yesterday's post state, that on the 24th ult. two ships of the line sailed from Brest; that on the 31st two sail of the line lay in the Outer Road, and that another ship of the same description was towed out by numerous boats to join them, as was alleged, to proceed to Ireland.—This intelligence was brought to Plymouth by two Fishermen, who as pilots went on board one of the French frigates, which appeared in Bantry Bay, in December 1796, supposing her to be English, and who having been considered as prisoners of war, were lately exchanged, and brought to England, on Friday last, in a cartel from Morlaix.
Expresses were yesterday sent off from the Admiralty to all the principal sea ports, for what purpose we have not been able to ascertain. Conjecture says, that an embargo is the object, either to prevent the outward bound merchantmen from falling in with the French squadron, which is stated to have lately sailed from Brest, or to guard against any intelligence, respecting the secret expedition about to take place, reaching the enemy's shore.
No advices from the Mediterranean have yet been received by Government; the reports of Lord St. Vincent having blocked up the enemy's fleet in Toulon, are therefore totally void of official foundation.
A letter from Plymouth, dated the 7th inst. says "a sloop a cartel from Morlaix, which the left yesterday morning, brings advice that the public mind is in the greatest possible state of agitation; multitudes crying out against the government, and their partisans only able to avert the threatened convulsion by entreaties to wait the operations of the fleet, which appears the last chance of the Executive Directory. The recent Conscription is most rigorously enforced, and searing men are daily marched, hand cuffed and thumb locked, to the ports."
From the Hamburg Mail.
MILAN, May 14. The following letter of Field Marshal SUWAROW has been published here:
"On the 13th inst. at 5 o'clock in the morning, the French were attacked by the Imperial and Russian army in their strong position between Turin and Coni. The battle was one of the bloodiest, and lasted till night. It will be one of the most remarkable in History, and terminated at last in our favour. The French have left 8,000 men slain on the field; 6,000 prisoners are already in our power. We had 3,000 men killed or wounded. The French have lost almost all their artillery; 150 pieces of cannon and 200 ammunition waggons are already in our possession; four of the enemy's Generals are taken prisoners, among whom is the commander in Chief, Moreau."
By this battle the fate of Italy is decided, and the allies are stationed on the frontiers of France.
VERONA, May 15.
The following intelligence has appeared in print at Modena:
"The Regency make it a duty, and feel the greatest joy in publishing the letter just written by Baron d'Aspre, Colonel, commanding the army of his Imperial and Apostolic Majesty: "To the Regency of the City of Modena."
"Gentlemen, please to publish immediately that the English, Russian, and Ottoman Fleet, have made a descent at Genoa, and seized both that city and its harbor. That the French have evacuated Alessandria and Turin, and that Peschiera has been taken. I am eager to communicate this to you for the satisfaction of all honest people, who interest themselves in the welfare of humanity."
Signed, Baron D'ASPRES. Reggio, May 9, 1799.
LINDAU, May 21
Yesterday morning, at one o'clock, the French left the whole valley of the Rhine, and retreated behind St. Gallen. To-morrow the bridges will be got ready, and the whole corps between Bregenz and Feldkirch will pass the Rhine, in three columns in order to join Gen Hotze, who has penetrated far into the district of Toggenburg.
Castel Nuovo de Serovia, May 12.
Several couriers have arrived here, with the pleasing information that a Turkish-Russian & English fleet has landed troops at Nice.
May 14. On the 12th a violent cannonade had taken place between the French and Austrians. Yesterday's battle was fought between Valenza, Bussignano, and Alessandria, and was extremely bloody and murderous. The French were forced to yield—The Russians carried Valenza by storm. The remainder of the
French army, which is said to consist of only 8,000 men, has retreated; all the rest have been killed, wounded, or taken. The Allies have lost a considerable number of men. The battle lasted fourteen hours.
LODI, May 16.
The battle near Alessandria was very violent; the Russians suffered in it, but much more the French; for Gen. Moreau left the field with scarce 8,000 men.
VIENNA, May 22.
The garrison of Mantua is now said to have offered to capitulate, stipulating among other terms, permission to march out free with all their arms, and to take a certain number of covered waggons with them. But Gen. Kray is said to have found many of these conditions inadmissible.
This moment intelligence has arrived here of a great battle which Field Marshal Suwarow has won over general Moreau. This battle has decided the fate of Italy.
BERLIN, May 28.
Intelligence has been received here, that general Macdonald's corps, which intended to effect a junction with the army under general Moreau, has been attacked by the Austro-Russian army near Lucca, and TOTALLY DEFEATED.
His Prussian Majesty has made a present to citizen Sieyes, now Director, of his portrait, set in brilliants. Talleyrand Perigord or Perrochel will, it is said, replace Sieyes in the embassy.
LINDAU, May 18.
The Austrians have already entered the canton of Uri, by Mount St. Gotthard, and united themselves with the inhabitants. This day Colonel Williams failed from hence with his whole artillery, carrying a number of troops to Bregenz. The burgh of Ragats has been burnt by the French, on their retreat from the Grison country, so that only two houses are left standing.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 4.
Our Government has resolved to make a loan for the expense of the war, which is to be paid in ten years, with interest. The Greek Nation must contribute 1,500,000, the Armenians 1,000,000, the Jews 800,000, and the Bankers 18,000,000 of piastres. As the Grand Vizier is on the eve of his departure, and the troops want many things, orders have been given for the Greeks to keep their shops open on holidays, and the Jews on the sabbath. But the latter got off this restraint on paying 24,000 piastres. The accounts from Syria still seem to be of a serious nature to the Porte.
BREST, May 14.

LONDON, June 9.
The King of Sweden, in quality of Duke of Pomerania, has, by his Minister, Baron Bildt, delivered to the Congress of Rasthon a Note, informing the Co-estates, that he has joined the Coalition against France, and will furnish his contingent of men in natura. He exhorts the members of the empire to follow his example, in rendering every possible succour to the emperor as the only means of preserving the Germanic constitution.—A great naval armament is preparing at Carlisle.
The garrison of Mantua is stated to have made proposals of capitulation to general Kray, who had refused to accede to some articles respecting covered waggons.
The fortress of Urbano, in the Bolonese, surrendered on the 10th; and on the 12th, the Austrians entered Bologna, where they made 1200 prisoners.

An article from Bombay, March 21 inserted in the Paris Papers, states the probability of an immediate war between the British and Tippoo; who, they say, has 100,000 well disciplined troops, and does not give himself the trouble to conceal his designs. He lately observed, in answer to some new remonstrances made to him by the Company, that he knew what was due to his dignity and army. Every thing announces an approaching rupture.—The Paris Papers speak as if the Brest fleet were going to relieve Buonaparte, and enable him to proceed to India.
From the morning Herald of JUNE 10.
The fate of Italy, if the accounts brought by the Hamburg Mail of yesterday be correct, may be considered as finally decided;
but there are some considerations which induce us to entertain considerable doubts of the intelligence, notwithstanding it assumes an official shape, from Milan, under the date 14th of May. A general action is said to have commenced at five o'clock in the morning of the 13th ult. by an attack upon Moreau's position between Turin and Coni, and to have continued with the utmost fury till night, when victory at length declared in favor of the Combined arms, the enemy having lost 14,000 men, 8,000 of whom were killed on the field of battle, and the remainder (including Moreau, who was wounded, and three other French generals) taken prisoners, 150 pieces of cannon, and 200 ammunition waggons, are stated to have fallen into the hands of the allies. Our reasons for suspecting the accuracy of this account are these—the advices published by Government, in the Gazette of Tuesday last, mentioned the head quarters of Suwarow to be at Tortona on the 13th, the day on which the victory is said to be achieved; a circumstance which renders the latter statement improbable in one point of view, and impossible in another. In the first place, the reported scene of action is near seventy miles distant from Tortona, where Suwarow had his head quarters at the precise time the battle is stated to have been fought, and as even his outposts were not so far advanced on that day, it is highly improbable that a force sufficient to dislodge Moreau from his strong position between Coni and Turin, could, then have been collected at a distance so considerable from the main body of the Imperialis;—and in the next place, it is utterly impossible that Suwarow could have his grand army between Coni and Turin on the morning of the 13th, as the Gazette states, his head quarters were on that very day at Tortona. But, at the same time that these confide ations lead us to question, the accuracy of the seemingly official account, we have no doubt that a very important victory has been obtained by the Austro-Russian army in Piedmont, and from which the above exaggerated statement had its origin. The action to which we allude, was fought on the 13th (the day already mentioned) between Valenza (about ten miles from Tortona,) which the Russians carried by storm. This battle lasted 14 hours, and the division of the enemy which escaped is mentioned as consisting only of 8,000; but it is to be observed, that it was not the main body of the French which was here engaged, Moreau being then stationed between Coni and Turin with an army of 17,000 men.—In this manner we think we may venture to account for the magnified statements from Piedmont, which however, may be considered as a national anticipation of what has probably by this time taken place.
A private letter from Milan states, that Alessandria and Turin are in the possession of the combined force, by means of the latter of which they will be able to flank Moreau on the North side, and ultimately to dislodge him from his present advantageous position.—Thus will the deliverance of Italy be rendered complete, and the miserable remains of the Republican army be forced to fly for refuge within the antient boundaries of France.—With respect to the forces under the orders of General Macdonald, they are reported to have been totally defeated, and their Commander taken prisoner, near Lucca, on their way to join the army of Moreau, in Piedmont; but this account more probable, wants confirmation.—The capture of Genoa, by the combined English, Turks, and Russians, has been officially announced by Baron D'Aspre to the Regency of Modena and every thing continues to wear the most cheering and prosperous aspect in all directions.
The rapid successes of the Allied armies in Italy have induced the Archduke Charles to resume operations in Germany. Several divisions of his army have already crossed the Rhine at different places, and his highness was himself to pass that river on the 23d, at Stein, and Schaffhausen, for the purpose of pursuing the enemy. The position of Malsena at Zurich is supposed not to be tenable, and his retreat is opposed by very formidable difficulties. The most important advices may therefore be daily expected from that quarter.—The Imperial troops have effected a junction on the lake of Cono, and thus formed an uninterrupted chain of posts from the Mediterranean to the Rhine.
By a private letter from St. Petersburg we learn, that the free exportation of corn from Russia is again permitted.
Paris journals to the 4th inst. arrived yesterday.—A letter from Toulon, inserted in one of these papers, states, that the Spanish fleet, consisting of eighteen sail of the line, entered that harbour on the 20th ult. from Cadiz, after having had an engagement with the English fleet, in which the Spaniards claimed the victory.—This statement, however, is not only contradicted in some of the other journals, but it is even denied that the Spanish squadron had arrived at Toulon so late as the 27th, the Executive Directory not having received any advice to that effect.
An Extraordinary Gazette, containing accounts from the Combined Armies in Italy and Germany, is expected to be published this morning.
Mr. Basset and Mr. Slater were under orders on Saturday to leave England for the continent, with government despatches; but the arrival of the Hamburg Mail has caused them to be delayed for a day or two.
The restoration of the House of Orange will be attempted, and no doubt effected, under the British armament equipping for that purpose: transports for an army of not less than 20,000 men, with the necessary train of artillery, &c. are now preparing with all possible dispatch. The Prince Stadholder will accompany this formidable armament in person.

MR. BENNO, I ENCLOSE a Copy of a Letter from a Gentleman in one of the Western Counties to a friend in Philadelphia.
I am, Sir, Your Humble Servant, &c. Philad. 4th August, '99.
DEAR SIR, I HAVE duly received your long and friendly epistle, and though I can most cordially reciprocate all the expressions of friendship which you are so kind to use towards me,
We had an aversion to those doctrines and opinions that a very strong and energetic Government was indispensably necessary,
You must likewise recollect, that, previous to the calling of the Convention, Mr. M'Kean not only opposed the Constitution by bellowing against it in Philadelphia,
he might have the office of Chief Justice; this had the desired effect, and for a while no person was more zealous in its support than my Lord Chief Justice,
The present Constitution having been agreed upon by so great a majority, there seemed nothing left for parties to squabble about,
However, I can assure you that I think there is very little chance of his being elected. I have been lately through most of the Western Counties,
The members of the committee who signed your circular letter are particularly excreted. I comply with your request in stating these things candidly and without reserve.
Did not Mr. M. always adhere to the other party, whilst they would keep him in office, and veer about as soon as they refused to gratify his unreasonable ambition?
Mr. Dallas has always behaved civil to me in his office, and I thank him. But I always considered him as a man disposed to carry his talents to the best market,
had suffered some other person to point out to the good people of Pennsylvania, whom they should elect for Governor.
What could have tempted Samuel Miles and Tench Coxe, to set their names to a paper that said any thing about pecuniary speculations?
I have heard it frequently and publicly said, that Gen. Muhlenberg might brag of his being able to lead the Germans,
The circular informs us that at your meeting in Philadelphia, the selection had fallen in an honorable manner on Thomas M'Kean.
I am obliged to close my letter in haste, but you will probably hear from me again before long. July 24, '99.
MURDER. A Proclamation has been issued by the Governor of Georgia, offering 100 dollars reward for apprehending Hardy Harden for the murder of Allen Womack.
By the ships Boyne and Chesapeake arrived here on Saturday from London, we have papers of that city to the 10th June.
The news which these papers contain, is said to have been contradicted before the above ships failed—this is not to be wondered at,
The ports of Holland are blockaded by the English, and neutrals are not permitted to enter;
There was a grand expedition in forwardness—generally supposed to be destined against Holland.
The successes of the Austria-Russian army, has diffused general joy throughout England—their public stock is higher than it has been for several years—and the arts and sciences begin to assume a renovated vigor.
A Peace is spoken of by France—but Mr. Pitt justly discountenances the idea of treating with them, till they shall have fixed upon SOME form of government.

TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, 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 Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted 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 300 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 2 dollars. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars. whole bound; but, as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers. 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 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 Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost invaluable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting 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 Representatives of the United States." "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, "Respectfully represents, "That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, 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 has obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting 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 Memorialists 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 Buxton, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Springfield and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the popularity of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswick, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Through-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 experience proves to us, that dispatch as well as comfort 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 considerable proportion of shade, must always render travelling in the latter season peculiarly agreeable.
The Swift-Sure starts from PHILADELPHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth street. It goes through Frankford to Buxton, where it stops to Breakfast; from Buxton it goes through Newtown to Pennytown to dinner; from Pennytown 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 Bardia, 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 40 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 themselves to make good every package on the following 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 package, 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 estimates 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 proportion 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 responsible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insurance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and taverns 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 committed to the care of intelligent and obliging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the persons whom 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 chicanery or insolence 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, during 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 spoke of with the highest satisfaction.

WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) 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 Gentlemen 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 amusement and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America.—This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle, which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations. Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Somerville, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Buxton and other places, as soon as associations offer.] May 28
