On the proposed Address to his Majesty, respecting the Resolutions adopted in the House of Commons, as the basis of an Union between Great Britain and Ireland.
"It appears, that the total value of our imports and exports, in the year 1793, was ninety five millions sterling; above twenty two millions higher than the average value of the four last years of peace.
"This astonishing amount will be placed beyond all suspicion of exaggeration, when I remark, that the true value of the imports, amounting to 46,963,000l. has been obtained from a strict enquiry into the prices current, as well as from the duties payable at a specific rate, in proportion to the true value of each article, which value has been adjusted by the officer with importers and dealers. The valuation of the exports, amounting to above forty eight millions has been ascertained in a manner nearly similar; and it is not to be presumed, that however undoubted the integrity of the merchants may be, they have paid ad valorem duties beyond the true estimate; and certainly the total, which already much exceeds all our prior calculations might fairly be carried to above one hundred millions sterling.
"The British manufactures exported in '98, and which make a part of the great total of ninety five millions, amounted to no less a sum than 33,600,000l. being 6,477,000l. higher than the average export of our manufactures in the four last years of peace.
"The annual average import into Great Britain from Ireland, during the last four years of peace, was about 4,900,000l. and for the three years ending the 5th of January, 1799, it was above 5,500,000l. being an increase of about 600,000l. Upon our entire trade with Ireland, the annual balance in her favour is above two millions; and upon the interchange of the products and manufactures of the two countries, the balance in favour of Ireland is above 3,400,000l."
"The cattle and provisions, furnished by Ireland to Great Britain amount to no less a sum than two millions sterling annually; A duty too, producing about 30,000l. is charged in Ireland on that whole export and yet, we prohibit in time of peace the admission of provisions from other countries, and do not even permit the United States of America to sent provisions to our Islands and fisheries.
"I now come, my Lords, to the exported manufactures of Ireland, which are nearly comprised in the single article of linen. I am content to take the valuation as it is given in the papers before us (is. gd. per yard) though I believe it to be below the true average price. It appears then, by the accounts on your table, that, in the last three years, the annually import of Irish Linens (being thirty seven millions of yards) amounted to 2,600,000l. to which may be added linen yarn, the valuation of which was 245,000l.
"The import into Great Britain, in 1743, when the present system commenced, was 6,418,009 yards; in 1773, it was 17,86,000 yards; in 1783, 21,000,000 yards; and in 1798, 37,000,000 yards.
The export, with bounty, in 1743, was 40,900 yards; in 1773, 2,832,000; and in 1798, 6,400,000 yards. The general result are, that of the whole amount of Irish exports to all the world, about eight ninths are sent to Great Britain and to British dependencies, that of the exports from Ireland to Great Britain amounting in value to 5,600,000l. nearly the whole is received in our ports free of duty, but is subject to exports duties in Ireland, and contributes there to her local revenue as a charge imposed on our consumption. On the other hand, that what we send to Ireland is about a tenth only of our whole export; that about two fifths of what is so sent to Ireland, consist of foreign articles exported free of duty. That though the entire trade of Ireland with this country is about one ninth of our whole commerce, the revenue received upon it, of being one ninth of our customs, is less than 140th part. For example, that Ireland pays only 47,000l. in duties of customs upon the whole of her trade with us, at the same time that we are receiving from other nations in customs 6,850,000l. and even from that small amount of 47,000l. we pay on the average about 35,000l. a year in bounties on Irish linens. But it is not merely that the imports from Ireland are free of duty here. What we export to Ireland is highly charged by her. She accordingly raised annually on her trade with Great Britain and the British dependencies, by the average of the three last years, a revenue of 622,000l. of which sum 194,000l. were levied on English products and manufactures. The duties, which she levies annually on her whole trade with all other parts amount to about 209,000l."

On Friday night last, about half past 9 o'clock, as Mr. John Duncan was returning from Courtland-street to his lodging at the Greenwich Hotel, he was stopped on the road by two black men and one white man, one of whom presented a pistol to his breast, commanded him to stand or he was a dead man. Mr. D. began to parley with the fellows, but finding it useless, he endeavored to extricate himself from them, which they prevented by knocking him down, where he lay some time senseless, and after recovering, he found that they had robbed him of his pocket-book, containing Bank Notes to the amount of Four Thousand Dollars, and a military land warrant.

NEW-YORK, August 15.
INTERESTING NARRATIVE.
(Communicated by Captain Stanwood for publication in the Mercantile Advertiser.)
In the ship Montezuma from Kingston, in the Island of Jamaica, arrived at the Port of Philadelphia, on the 30th ultimo, came passenger capt. Lemuel Stanwood, late master of the snow Chatham, of this port, which vessel was owned by Mr. Thomas Buchanan, merchant of this city. Captain Stanwood sailed from Montego-Bay, in the said island, on the 15th May last, bound for this port; and on the 23d of the same month, on the north side of the Island of Cuba, was brought to by the British frigate Maidstone, Rofs Donnelly, commander, who sent some of his officers on board to examine the said vessel and her papers; and after examining them, returned the papers; after which they ordered all the Chatham's crew on the quarter-deck; they then told captain Stanwood, that he had a great many men, to which he replied, there were no more than sufficient to protect his vessel; the officers then picked out a number of men, and ordered them into the ship's boat; on which capt. Stanwood told the officers that he hoped they did not mean to distress him, by taking the men they had selected, as they were those he chiefly depended on for the protection of his vessel and cargo, and that he wished to see the captain of the frigate before they took any of his men out of his vessel. This they positively refused to comply with; on which captain Stanwood declared, that they should not take the men before he had seen captain Donnelly, without taking him also. On this declaration the officers permitted him to go on board the frigate.
The first salutation from captain Donnelly to captain Stanwood was, "You damn'd rascal, what business have you on board this ship?"—to which captain Stanwood replied, that his business on board was to intercede with him not to take his men, who were the sole protection of his owner's property; but finding his intreaties in vain, he told captain Donnelly, that if he took the men, he should certainly protest against him for all the damages which might accrue; on this captain Donnelly told him, he was a damn'd impertinent rascal, and he would flog him, and ordered the quarter-master to take him to the gangway, which was immediately done; but not thinking it proper to put his threats in execution, he ordered his people to put captain Stanwood into the boat, at the same time saying, he wished he could get some hold of him; and that if he could, he would send the vessel back to Jamaica. Some time after he had returned to his vessel, himself and a Mr. Peter Brown, a passenger, were ordered on board the frigate.
Capt. Donnelly then demanded of him, where he got those two small guns that were not mentioned in his commission? He told him they were the property of Mr. Brown; on this Donnelly asked Mr. Brown if the guns were his property? to which question he answered in the affirmative, and that he had lent them to capt. Stanwood for the greater security of his vessel and cargo, until he could dispose of them to advantage; on this Donnelly said that Stanwood was a damn'd impertinent rascal, and that he would send the vessel back to Jamaica for having these guns on board. He immediately sent his boat on board the Chatham, and took out all the crew except the second mate, and put a prize master and sent a number of seamen on board, and ordered her to Kingston. Capt. Stanwood begged he might be permitted to go in his vessel, but, Donnelly swore he would be damn'd if he should, and ordered him on the fore-castle, nor would he suffer him to write a line by the Chatham, or any other vessel they spoke with. In this painful situation capt. Stanwood remained until the 4th of June, when howos put on board the Alarm frigate, Roberts Roots, commander, to be sent to Kingston.
The treatment he received on board the Alarm, was much worse than he had experienced on board the Maidstone; occasioned by his requesting the purser to sell him a little flour, or some pease, as the bread he served with was rotten, and he had nothing else to eat but salt beef. This request being communicated to captain Roots, he ordered captain Stanwood to be immediately confined between two guns, with a centinel over him, with a drawn sword, both night and day; and that he should not be supplied with anything more than the ordinary allowance. Capt. Stanwood was confined between decks and not permitted to take the fresh air for a moment, except on the most urgent necessity. In this situation he remained until the 26th June, when he was landed at Port Royal.
Captain Stanwood stayed a Kingston until the 10th July, with an expectation of the snow's arrival, but as three was no intelligence received respecting her, he concluded she was either taken by the French, or lost.

The following was received by capt. FITCH, arrived yesterday from Savannah: Savannah, July 30.
Last Saturday put in here in distress, the schr. Little Tartar, of St. Thomas's, in 19 days from Cape Francois; brings accounts of provisions being very scarce: Every thing quiet at the Cape—Gen. Touffant at the time this vessel left the island was at Port au Prince, having recently had an engagement with Rigaud, in which many lives were lost on both sides, though the former was in the end victorious—No talk of any treaty with the English, the people being averse to it.
August 2. The Schooner Mary Ann, capt. Hughes, failed from this port for Baltimore, on Monday last. Gen. Gunn, Mr. Tho's Young, Mr. Thomas Scarborough, and a number of other gentlemen, went passengers.
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Augusta, August 3. A TALK from the Cussitaw king, to colonel Joseph Phillips, of Green county, dated 24th June, 1799. Friend & Brother,
I MAKE no doubt but you and the white people are uneasy, and think it long to hear from us respecting the white man that was killed last spring; it gives us all a good deal of concern, as we can't find out the murderer: We have made all the enquiry we can, but can't get proof; and to do any thing only on suspicion will not be right—As there was at that time different towns people and Cherokees also, it is hard to judge—but time, I hope, will find out the guilty; and I could with that we could once bring the guilty to suffer, as we have had too many instances of the innocent's suffering.
You may be assured that it is my only wish to find out the guilty, and let it be who it will, I will not conceal it, as I want the truth to be found out, then we may all be satisfied and know the murderer. I beg the favour of you, to be so good as to acquaint all the white people that it is my desire and wish that it could be found out—and for them not to be rash in taking satisfaction, as you all may be assured of my best endeavors to bring the guilty to justice.
Until then I am your friend & brother, CUSSEIT TAW MICO, King of Cussitaw.
Col. Joseph Phillips. I do hereby certify the above to be a true copy from the original. JOSEPH PHILIPS.
Louisville July 30. Extract of a letter from Col. Hawkins, to his Excellency Governor Jackson, dated Creek Nation, 17th July, 1799.
"The Cheehaw Mico has visited me and shewed me your address to him, having here the public interpreters, I had it interpreted to him, in presence of several Chiefs, and it produced those sensations which it was calculated to inspire."
"I have addressed the chiefs on the improper conduct of young McIntosh and demanded in your name that the negroes should be sent back, and informed them that if he (McIntosh) had claims, the courts of Georgia, were the proper places to determine on them. The affair has been received by them so as to determine me to lay it before the national council which is to convene as soon as the Bookfeast is over, which will be some time in August. I sent a demand down in the neighbourhood of Kennard, for some negroes in that quarter, belonging to citizens on the sea coast, and received assurances that they were apprehended, and should be sent down to fort James, and lately an Indian informs me, that two belonging to the late Joel Walker, one to Mrs. Bailey, one to Mr. Waldhauser, are taken down by Kennard, and that one other has been apprehended on his way to the nation, and delivered to Lieut. Thompson at fort James.
I left this on the 16th of April and returned on the 12th of this month, I went to Pensacola at the request of Mr. Ellicott, to arrange matters with the Indians of this agency, to insure to the commissioners and their assistants, a safe passage through this country. The surveyor with the guide line arrived on the 22d of June. The line strikes the river about 20 miles above the mouth of Flint river. There has been a feeble show of opposition from the Seminoles.
"I believe the Murderer of Moreland is discovered—he is said to be a Cussitaw man. I have demanded him, and expect to be able to report to you the issue next month."
* This address was the talk given to the Chehaw King by the Governor in this town when he paid him for his stolen horse—and which we are informed has had the happiest effect in the nation.
† A young half breed, who under some pretence of claim to them plundered Mrs. McIntosh of Mako, in McIntosh county, of all her prime hands—leaving the unfortunate widowed lady with six small children, with scarcely the means of subsistence.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Coneca, 256 miles from the Mississippi, to his friend at Wilmington, (N. C.) dated 23d May.
"At a meeting lately held in this place with the Creek Indians, they have allowed an escort of two Chiefs and 20 Warriors, to insure the safety of the party who are running the boundary line between the U. S. and the Indian territory, which will be completed in three months."

BALTIMORE, August 14. A report is in circulation from Charleston, S. C. that a number of persons, to the amount of 200 or more, had lost their lives in that city, a short time since, by drinking Gin, into which a quantity of white lead, or some other poisonous mineral had been put, to change it from a yellow to a white color. The account is said to have been brought by the Aurora, capt. Brown from thence.
By information from the Havana as late as the 23 ultimo, we are happy to learn that Mr. George Reinboldt, of the house of Blain and Reinboldt, is perfectly recovered from the wound he lately received by an unknown assassin. The Governor has taking the most efficient steps to trace the perpetrator.
From a Correspondent. The executive directory has published an arrest respecting their satisfaction with the conduct of Victor Hughes, while at Guadalupe. Well done, thou good and faithful servant, having sufficiently plundered, persecuted, and murdered all from whom any thing could be got, pour the fruits of thy labor into the national lap, of which we have the custody: Thy name shall be enrolled on the list of worthies, such as Robespierre, Folliver, Santhonax &c. and, should it be the will of Satan to continue our kingdom, we will again send thee to torture the citizens of the United States, for thou delightest in the misery of man—his groans are music to thy ears when they precede the acquisition of extorted wealth. Salut and fraternite.

COMMUNICATIONS.
IT ought not to surprise any one, to find the democrats of Pennsylvania using their utmost exertions to ensure the election of one, entertaining their own sentiments and views, to succeed our present Governor. But that their choice should have fallen on Thomas M'Kean, is wholly unaccountable to every one who has any knowledge of his present sentiments, or past conduct. Altho' he at present stoops to their filthy embraces, that he may make them the instrument of his elevation, yet he is known to be, in his opinions, and his habits both public and private, the most arrogant, selfish, and intolerant aristocrat that Pennsylvania ever gave birth to. This is demonstrated by his conduct in every period of his life, previous to his present supplicating and servile deportment, to the seditious horde of democrats. But it will be sufficient to attend to his inefficient endeavors to render that government a complete aristocracy (in one branch at least) to the administration of which he now makes his pretensions. The Constitution of Pennsylvania is amongst the most democratic, and amongst the best, of the state Constitutions: but let it be remembered that it was rendered so, not by Thomas M'Kean, but by his present opponents, not with his consent, but against all the opposition that he was able to make. He who, but a few years ago, exerted all his talents and all his influence to introduce an aristocracy into Pennsylvania, now affects the term "aristocrat" as a mark of reproach upon those, who then successfully opposed him, and who still oppose, and will again defeat him: he who then desired it to be established, that there should be no recommendation to power but wealth, now has the meanness to load the wealthy and the industrious, with the most slanderous epithets, and to court the poor and the profligate for their votes. To those Pennsylvanians, who have taken the trouble of observing the conduct of their public men, and the succession of political occurrences, this sudden change will appear in its proper colors. To those who are less solicitous about public affairs, it may be proper to produce the following facts, from the minutes of the 2d session of the Convention which formed our present state Constitution, pages 152, 165, 167, 170, 171, 172. This may be the more proper at present, because the quotations are not of empty professions, which are easily pronounced when occasion requires, and as easily forgotten, and are calculated and intended to gull the credulous multitude; but of deliberate opinions, formed with much care, and pressed with much anxiety and perseverance. His plans were that no man should be qualified to fill the office of Governor, nor of Senator, that did not hold a certain property, which was thought sufficient to exclude the men of small estates from either of those offices. He required "that no man should be eligible as Governor, unless he held a clear, real and personal estate of the value of four thousand dollars." Whether Mr. M'Kean was then acquainted with the pecuniary embarrassments which incumbered his democratic excellency who now so bonorably fills the first post in the state; and meant by this trick, to remove out of his own way, the great, though unmerited popularity of the confidential friend of the French minister Fauchet, depends upon conjecture only, a source of information too unsatisfactory to be relied upon.
But his plan of a Senate was such as to deserve the severest reprobation, of every honest American. It is matter of astonishment, that whilst the dying groans of our countrymen, slain in defence of liberty and republicanism, still vibrated on our ears, this man, with professions of patriotism always on his lips, should have made the bold attempt to subvert the system so lately established; to destroy the blessings so hardly earned. In forming the Senate, he proposed, "That the people should have no direct voice or vote in their choice; but that they should be chosen by electors." So that the men to whom the people direct their choice, who now represent them, would scarcely ever have been the objects of the choice of these electors, who, possessing their
own private views, and acting to promote their own private interests, would always have selected such as would answer their purposes.
2. "That the Senators should represent equally the property and the taxable inhabitants of the state," or, "that they should be apportioned according to a compound ratio of taxable property and taxable inhabitants." That is to say, that they should be the direct representatives, equally of the wealth and of the population of the state. The effect of it would have been, that the Senators would have all come from the towns and rich settlements of the state, and represented them almost exclusively. For a neighborhood of 100 men owning each £100 would have precisely the same weight in the election, as 10 men, owning each £1900. And yet, where industry and virtue have much less to do in the acquisition of wealth, than chance and fraud, it will be difficult for Mr. M'Kean to establish the position, that a virtuous, enlightened and enterprising man possessed only of £100, is less worthy of a vote, than the stupid and dishonest possessor of £1900, unless he can first make the world believe in his declaration, "that every poor man is a rogue." But he strenuously contended.
3. "That no man should be eligible as a Senator who did not possess a real estate of the value of £500." That is to say, that no monied man, how great soever his property; no merchant, how intelligent, industrious and successful soever, could be eligible, unless he would consent to draw part of his funds from trade, and vest them in lands. Who does not see in this the very essence of the aristocratic principle? Who does not see in it an attempt to revive the exploded European systems! But left any disposition to murmur against laws enacted by these Senators should exist in the minds of the people; left any hopes of speedy change should encourage their discontent, he proposes, lastly, that these Senators, thus chosen, not by the people, but by electors; representing, not the people, but the wealth of the state; and selected not, necessarily, from amongst the aged, the experienced, the intelligent or the virtuous, but from amongst the poll efforts of real estates—"That they should be chosen for, and serve six years."
Now, what in the constitution of the English Parliament, which has been so much theme of invective in this country, is worse than all this. That Parliament is composed of men of certain property; they represent the men of property, and are chosen by them; they are apportioned amongst the rich and populous districts of country, and come principally from the towns of England; and they serve for a long period of time. But such also was the plan of our present Chief Justice, for a Senate of Pennsylvania. And yet this man is now styled "the friend of the people"; and those who opposed his plan, who procured its rejection, and who established in its stead, one that gives all authority to the people, are now unjustly branded as enemies of the people, aristocrats—friends of monarchy.
If the people of Pennsylvania can be so far led astray, as to believe Judge M'Kean to be a democrat, to be any thing but the most devoted enemy to the true republican and representative principle; if they can be so forgetful of all that he has done and attempted; and will be so blinded to their own interests, as to trust to his present delusive and empty promises and professions, and to choose him for their Governor; who is there, amongst us, that will not have reason to deplore the effects of so fatal a credulity and weakness? The Federalists know him to be in his disposition, oppressive and capricious, and have therefore always refused to confer upon him that confidence which he fought: If the democrats should succeed in forcing him upon the public, they will, when too late, have equally to lament, with their opponents, the common ruin that will overspread us. It is impossible that the habits and sentiments of a man, long settled and confirmed in favor of arbitrary authority, should be suddenly changed: his political plans and opinions have long been matured, and he waits an opportunity of carrying them into execution. And let those beware, who trust to the deceitful tears of the crocodile, shed only to allure his prey into his power. "The Lion changes not his skin; nor the Leopard his spots."
Twenty thousand FRENCHMEN, and twenty thousand UNITED IRISHMEN: What a precious horde of Sans Culotte cutthroats are these to teach what true liberty is! And Americans remember, there are men among you, your countrymen too, who declare they with these ruffians would come into the United States to teach Americans what true liberty is!—Pennsylvanians, would you like to be governed by a man whose with it is to have these villains for your political teachers:—If you do not wish it, look well to your election for GOVERNOR.

From the Lancaster Journal, YORK, August 3.
MR. HAMILTON.
You have published the proceedings of what is called a meeting at Hanover, (Mr. Alifers town) consequently you will have no objection to publish the following advertisement. You may rest assured that said Meeting was an imposition upon the inhabitants of York County. The nomination of about 163 persons was done by not more than 6 persons, without knowing the sentiments of one half of those they nominated, and without the advice or consent of their fellow citizens.
We have every reason to believe that notwithstanding the nominators endeavoured to name every man of their party of any influence—yet not more than one third (if any) of those they have named, will become tools to such poor authority—and not more than one third of them will vote for M'Kean. Of this we shall hereafter give you satisfactory proof.
PUBLIC NOTICE.
Whereas the subscribers, find in the York Gazette, No. 179, that by a Republican meeting which was held the 20th of this inst. at Hanover; among others, we have been nominated and appointed a Corresponding Committee, to assist and support the Election of Chief Justice Thomas M'Kean, to the Office of Governor; we think it necessary to inform the public, that this was done by the said meeting, without our knowledge, and against our wills; and likewise to inform the citizens who composed said meeting, that we decline serving in said appointment.
JOSEPH WELSHANS, JACOB LEIBHART, DR. JOHN MORRIS, JOHN BRILLINGER.
YORK, AUGUST 8. MR. HAMILTON.
Please also to publish the following.—These declarations will be followed by others, and it will be ascertained that in York County, the friends of Mr. M'Kean will be few indeed. Every good American seems now determined to vote for JAMES ROSS of Pittsburgh.
PUBLIC NOTICE.
WE, the subscribers, being greatly surprised and mortified, to see our names inserted in Citizen Solomon Myer's York Gazette, No. 179, as members of a Corresponding Committee, nominated at the REPUBLICAN MEETING (as it is called) held at Hanover, the 20th ult. for the purpose of supporting the Election of Monsieur Thomas M'Kean for Governor of Pennsylvania; which appointment was made without our knowledge, consent or approbation, but, as we presume at the instance of the printer; we do therefore declare that we will not serve under said appointment. If any of the nominated Committee choose to be led by a FOOL, they are welcome; we, for our part, think proper to decline it.

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Buffington, Newtown, Scotch-Plains, Springs, field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populousness of the country through which it passes, with sundry 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 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 amongst 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 circumstances, 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 Buffington, where it stops to breakfast; from Buffington 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 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 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 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 influence is practised upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expence 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 spoken of with the highest satisfaction.

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 English and Grammar, who shall receive, for his services, at the rate of £200 per annum, to be paid quarterly; and that public notice thereof be given, &c. &c.
A. C. HANSON. N. B. The office aforesaid hath just become vacant, 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 superior 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 inferior school, are to be taught, at the discretion of their parents, or guardians, Arithmetic, and other branches of science usually taught in English schools.
A complete knowledge of Latin, Arithmetic, &c. is considered indispensable in the professor; and it is expected, that candidates who are not known to the Board, will submit to an examination, as well as produce satisfactory testimonials of their good morals, and fair characters.
The Printers within the United States are requested to insert in their papers the foregoing resolution and remarks, and to repeat the publication, as often as convenience will admit, until the 20th day of September next. July 22 tawtf20
