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, Springfield 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, Brimfield, &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 Tention 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 Burlington, where it stops to Breakfast; from Burlington it goes through Newtown to Penn-town to dinner; from Penn-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, Courtlands, 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 sober 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 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, spoken of with the highest satisfaction.

Domestic Articles. UNION, (Penn.) June 23. To prevent imposition upon the citizens of Fayette County, it is proper they should be informed that two of the Grand Jury, James Blackiston and John Wileman, declined signed either for the Chief Justice or for James Ross; and yet have never concealed their sentiments as private citizens in favor of the latter candidate. Two others of the Jury were absent at the time, but who, from their political characters, it is believed, would if present, have declared themselves in the same way. Others, who although summoned to serve on the Grand Jury, could not attend at this time, are also supposed to give a preference to James Ross; not only on the score of his being a citizen of the Western Country of eminent talents, but as being a steady supporter of the Constitution and laws of his Country; by which their real independence and happiness will be most likely secured and promoted. Considering therefore the pains which have been taken by some active friends of the Chief Justice upon this occasion, there is but little room for triumph on their part. Were the people of the Western country on this important occasion, left individually to judge for themselves, the smallest attention to their interest could scarce fail to direct the proper choice.
CHARLESTON, June 6. THE LAUNCH. THE JOHN ADAMS, The United States, Frigate, built by Mr. PAUL FITCHARD, from the subscriptions of the citizens of Charleston, was yesterday, happily at 8 o'clock in the morning introduced to her element, with a rapid but beautiful movement. She hurried from off her ways before a number of the shores and blocks could be knocked away, and while a number of the workmen (nine it is said) were under her.
The day first appointed for the launching of this ship was Monday last, at 8 o'clock in the Morning. Notwithstanding the distance of Mr. Paul Fitchard's yard, where the ship was built, which is above 3 miles from the city, the number of spectators was immense—they flocked up by land and water, and the road and river were crowded with carriages and boats. At the expected hour, when cleared of impediments, she started and run three fourths of her length handsomely and then from the burning of her ways halted to the great disappointment of her anxious well-wishers.
A profuse and elegant collation fully sufficient for 500 persons, was provided by the Committee of the Subscribers as a social offering to their fellow-citizens. His excellency Governor Rutledge, Major General Pinckney, Brigadier Gen. Washington, Col. Read, and a great number of other respectable characters, partook of the entertainment, and after dinner the following toasts were drunk. An excellent band of music at intervals playing favourite federal tunes

June 7. Yesterday morning his excellency the Governor, major-general Pinckney, brigadier-general Washington, col. Read, John Rutledge, jun. esq. with several other respectable citizens, made a visit on board the government brig, the Pinckney, capt. Heyward, and the South-Carolina, capt. Paine, lying in the stream; on which occasion salutes were fired.
By this Day's Mail. NEW-YORK, July 6. FROM HAMBURGH. A Report has lately circulated in the American papers, of the British fleet having blockaded Hamburg, or rather the mouth of the Elbe. The following intelligence, received from Hamburg, will prove what has given rise to this report: "Last week we had the following report, of English gun-boats being stationed at the Mouth of the Elbe, in order to cut off the communication between Hamburg and Holland, by the way of the Watten or ( Binnen Waters .) This created at first a considerable uneasiness upon our Underwriters, who ceased to sign any Policies; however, it was soon there explained. That they had arrested in England an Irishman impeached of Treason, on whom a Plan of Cruxhaven and its environs had been found; and being afraid that the French might from France or Holland undertake a landing on the Hanoverian dominions, the gun boats had been sent there for its protection. Now our Underwriters are again insuring to Holland over the Watten at 2 per cent." We were yesterday obligingly favoured, by a respectable Merchant of this city, with Barbados new papers to the 18th of June, from which we have extracted the following articles of information—and all they contain.
BARBADOES, April 27. The homeward bound fleet, this day sailed for St. Christopher's, under a strong convoy.
May 25. This morning we had an alarm, which is not yet discharged: should we learn what fleet, before this is issued, we shall signify it.
The prevalence of a bilious fever so rapid in its mortal effect, as to give no time for Medicinal aid, is much to be regretted: several persons have already fallen victims to it; amongst whom, we sincerely lament a Miss Mary Toody, lately from Europe, sister to Mrs. Orderson, this amiable young lady, had but a short illness, and was buried yesterday.
We have not been able to issue our Paper at the usual hour to day, owing to the indisposition of our foreman and the alarm.
Just as we were about to put this paper to press, the fleet from Cork came round the point.—32 days passage.
May 28. The West India fleet failed from Portsmouth on the 31st ult. under convoy of the Quebec and Dryad frigates; and Admiral Lord Hugh Seymour in the Sans Pareil of 80 guns, we understand comes out to take the command on this station.
June 1. A Republican privateer brig of sixteen 9 pounders and 137 men, prize to his Majesty's ship Amphitrite, arrived yesterday, which she captured on the 22d April, in lat. 20, after a chase of 8 hours. The above brig was formerly the Catharine, belonging to Messrs. Le Gay and Evans of this town, which being taken by the enemy was fired out at Guadaloupe, and had failed only a few days from Point a Petre when the Amphitrite ran in with her. Yesterday a French Privateer brig of 18 guns was sent in here by one of our frigates, June 4.
The ships Barbados, Plaiter, Thomas, Renewal, John Avon, and Esther, constant traders from this Island, arrived here on Sunday last from London, in company with the Jamaica and other West Indians, under convoy of the Quebec frigate, which proceeded to leeward the same day.
June 6. We are sorry to state the loss of the ships Edwards, and Mary, the former belonging to the house of Messrs. Parkinson and Galey of this Town, and the latter bound to Martinico; both from Liverpool. They got a shore on Tuesday night last on the Coblers rocks off Seull bay, and have since (particularly the Mary) been almost totally dashed to pieces. The cargo of the Edwards, although much damaged will mostly be saved.
We yesterday gave some important information under the head of "POSTSCRIPT," which we received by the Schooner Hound from Barbadoes; and publish, this day, extracts from Barbadoes newspapers to the 18th June. And, as it is probable some of our trimming Editors may say, that, by the Packet, arrived at that port, it was reasonable to suppose, extracts from papers received by her arrival, should appear in the Barbadoes papers, we will to inform them, that the Packet arrived on the 10th June, and that the Hound failed from thence on the day following; and, of course, as the Barbadoes papers are only printed twice a week, they could not contain extracts from the London prints received by her.
Extract of a letter from an American in Algiers to his friend in Annapolis
"The Dey is very much pleased with the vessels sent by our government, viz. a brig of 22 nine pounders, a Schooner of 20 guns, and another of 16 do. and has received them as a full discharge of all arrears due to him by the United States."
"The Americans are now the most favoured nation in this place, and on that account we were permitted to walk round and examine all the fortifications, &c. where not even the English, who are next in favor, were permitted to enter."
"The people of Algiers are much more civilized than I expected to find them; the slaves are treated with less severity than formerly, and Christians are not exposed to insult in walking the streets. They have, however, some remains of their former barbarity; when the Dey declared war against France, the French consul, and all other Frenchmen here, were loaded with chains, and kept to hard labour for some days, when

they were received at the intersection of all the foreign consuls in the city, but are still considered as prisoners."
Yesterday arrived the ship Dispatch cap- tain Busby 61 days from Hamburg, with a cargo of Gin, Iron, and Hemp, consigned to Coit and Woolsey. Our papers by her are only to the 2d May and their contents have been anticipated by our London ac- counts to the 12th. A passenger on board informs, that at the time of the vessel's sail- ing, the Archduke had entered Switzerland.
We have been favoured by captain Busby with a long list of shipping left at Hamburg which we are obliged to omit till our next, on account of the lateness of the hour at which it was received last evening.
The United States armed Brig Norfolk has arrived at the watering place in this port from a cruise.
The Hon. Peleg Arnold has been elected Chief Justice, Ezekiel Gardner jun. second Justice, Walter Cork third, Joshua Becknel fourth, and Thomas Hoien fifth justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of the State of Rhode Island.
Just arrived by one of the Staten-Island Ferry Boats, part of the 24 pounders, dou- ble headed shot, and boxes of canister shot, from on board the Frigate Constellation, capt. Truxton, now lying below.
BOSTON, July 3.
OF FOREIGN POLITICS.
We have little to add to the Foreign Details we have already laid before our readers, other than to confirm them. The haste in which newspapers are collated and rendered render them liable to many errors. Curiosity is ever on the tip-toe of expectation; and the desire to gratify it will frequently catch at those fleeting narratives which are set in motion by evil-designed or frivolous persons; and wasted about on opinions of credulity. It is, therefore, the duty of an Editor to confirm or contradict as well as to announce. In discharging this duty, we repeat,
That the French have been driven from Suabia over the Rhine into France, and Switzerland:—That the confederate Aus- trian and Russian army has been victorious in Italy; that it has obliged the French to e- vacuate three or four Provinces; in the Cis- alpine Republic—to cross the Adda; and to entrench in the strong-holds at Lodi—leav- ing Mantua and Peschiera, with their garni- sons, to their fate:—That the communica- tion between the French main army at Lodi, and the divisions at Rome and Naples (the evacuation of which is not confirmed) is cut off;—and that the English, Turks and Russians, were landing forces in Italy to assist the loyal Neapolitans in recovering their capital:—that the Brest fleet had failed from that port:—That its numbers were variously narrated—some accounts making it consist of 25 sail of the line and 10 frigates; that it had been paid three months in advance, and was intended for five months; that it had not returned;—nor had it returned for Ire- land.
Conjecture gives various destinations to the French fleet.—Portugal, is said by some to be its object.—Toulon, by others as a rendezvous from which squadrons may be directed to required quarters.—Naples by others, to reinforce the army there.—The Adriatic, by others, to cut up the Turkish and Rus- sian, squadrons therein.—Alexandria, by o- thers, to reinforce or bring off Buonaparte, and his veterans, who are wanted nearer home—and the Red Sea, by others, to as- sist the Conqueror of Egypt, in his opera- tions against the English settlements in India.
Quidnunc now want the speed of the Telegraph to conduct across the Atlan- tic intelligence of the events which must be hourly occurring on the theatre of European warfare. The principle of warfare lately adopted by Russians is only copied from the orders of the French Convention, which was that the "Republican Armies should give no quarter to English and Hanoverian prisoners." When this decree was received in the United States, the French apologists chuckled mightily, and attempted to justify it on the old principle of "necessity," and as a mean of bringing the war to a speedy issue.—Now the Russians have imitated the Paris fashion, these kind souls have commenced violent ad- vocates of humanity; and brand Suwarow, and his Legions, with every brutal and de- graded epithet. It is true, the French ar- mies refused to obey the sanguinary decree of their political rulers;—and it is not known that the Russians have executed theirs;—it is certain, that the obsequy dished at Suwarow only serves to make the portrait of the French Councils more horrid. It will be difficult for even Suwarow to be guilty of inhuman perpetrations to which there may be found numerous parallels in the history of the French Revolution:—he is desired to e- qual the scene at Unterwalden, is given in this day's Centinel.
If it were not known that Gen Suwar- row is a Russian, we should suppose from the description of him in the French papers, that he were a Frenchman.
A letter from Hamburg, dated April 26 says, the French continued relaxing their severities, towards American vessels, and in- surance on American vessels and property either to or from the U. S. had fallen to 12 per cent.
In the vicinity of Gibraltar there are 16 sail of the line of British ships, in quest of the Brest fleet.
A very hot press of seamen has taken place throughout Great Britain, to man the numerous squadrons fitted and fitting for sea.
The yellow fever is making dreadful hav-
oc in several islands in the West Indies, par- ticularly Cuba.
The French rec- unt, dated Milan, March 30, containing statements of the capture of Verona, &c. &c. by them, has proved to be one of the grossest falsehoods ever nurtured in the rank habet of a Directorial press:— and is equalled in turpitude only by the American Jacobinical forgery of the refu- tation of the money stolen by the French from on board the ship Pigeon, some time since sent in Bourdeaux.
SALÉM, July 2.
The accounts in our last that Capt. Russ, who was captured and carried into Bayonne was cleared, was premature. Some appear- ances gave him hope that it would be so.
Accounts from Surinam say, that the Gov- ernor of Surinam has orders from home not to suffer privateers of any nation to bring American prizes into that port; and if any should be brought in, to deliver them up to the owners with- out costs. Two French privateers were at Suri- nam, to sail in 3 days for Cayenne.
The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 3.
What is this French Republic? Are the Directory Republicans? Was France a Re- public when Robespierre decimated the Con- vention? Were the Directors Republicans who without the form of law or trial, ban- nished two of its own members, and de- stroyed the freedom of the Legislative body? Can that be a Republic, where every act of power is the work of a faction; or that a government of Laws, where the laws are always silent? The Deists and Athe- ists destroy the Roman Catholics and after- wards destroy each other. The Constitu- tionalists murder the Royalists, and the Re- publicans the Constitutionalists; the Demo- crats of the Republic, one and indivisible, put to death the Democrats of the federal Republic; the leaders of the faction of the Mountain, guillotine those of the Gironde. Robespierre devours most of the faction of the Mountain, and in turn, is devoured by that of Tallien. Brissot, Gensonne, and their associates, are condemned by Fouquier Toinville. Toinville again, and a hundred others, share the same fate. In what year or month, in this sad dynasty of murders, as- sassinations and proscriptions, has France been a Republic? At what period has her governors respected religion, or regarded the faith of treaties, or promises? Ye people of the United States, thank God, in your daily prayers, that he has not permitted your councils to be directed by men, who praise and admire such a republic, and such republicans.
It is expected that France will make over- tures for an adjustment of differences, with the United States. Upon what grounds can any one, expect sincerity from France, or that she will adhere to any new engage- ments, which circumstances may induce her to propose, so long as she continues to vio- late the rights of the minor powers of Eu- rope, and avail herself of their resources the one after the other, to wage a war of extermination against the nations of the first order, whose existence is so essential to the peace and security of the world? Let her make peace with these large Euro- pean powers; let her leave them in a con- dition to check her ambition, and then, and not till then may the minor powers of Eu- rope and other nations rely upon her engage- ments.
If the United States during the existing state of things in Europe, can think it safe to arrange their differences, and conclude a peace with France; can they expect to pre- serve it, by any other pledges or means, than those of an army and navy, and by a con- tinued attention to their resources to pre- pare them to meet and maintain actual war? It is capable of demonstration, and support- ed by a thousand facts, that the existence of an army and navy can alone secure the United States from the all grasping domina- tion of France. This is a truth well known to the Jacobins, and the apprehension, or belief that we will be wise enough to create and maintain both, rankles in their hearts; buic illa Lacryma.
If the United States will prepare seri- ously for war, they may then form reason- able expectations for peace; If they do not retrograde in the defensive measures they have already adopted, they may at least sta- ter themselves, with continuing in their pre- sent negative state of half war, half some- thing else. A different policy must render their independence a problem.
No. IV.
To the Managers
Of the ALMS-HOUSE & HOUSE OF EMPLOY.
GENTLEMEN,
I WILL now observe on the article of cloathing. You say, in 1799, what you paid for, cost £1046 3 10 and that you consumed of what was made, in the house 383 0 3
making together £1429 4 1
Do you see any such article as cloathing paid for from the year 1770 to 1776? If you do, it is a mere trifle. The balance against you on this county, in my opinion, is about £1000.
But your friend W. as if he had raised a wall of impregnable defence round you, quotes my words in a former number, viz. "we are waiting for yourselves (meaning the managers I suppose) not for W. or any unknown person, to tell us what is the rea- son of this obvious declension of labor?" Then he exultingly adds, "now where is your comparative statement to shew this ob- vious declension?" Have patience, gentle- men, and you shall see.
THE COMPARISON.
First on the profits of labor.
In 1797 the profits of the la- bor of 317 paupers was £465 9 8 3/4 In 1799 the profits of 603 paupers was 87 6 4
Bal. against you on this county £378 3 4 3/4
In 1797 your debts unpaid for which orders were given were £1310 0 7 3/4
In 1799 your debts unpaid for which orders were given were £742 2 5 3/4
Bal. against you on this county £6125 2 0
Besides which I know very well you owed heavy debts, for which no orders were given; but these I pass over, not willing like W. to dwell upon a unit of no moment.
After this specimen of modern times, I will give you a little of old times, that we may see what the public have gained by the late famous revolution in your house.
In 1770 two hundred and ninety paupers, men, women and children, of the same de- scription as your paupers consist of, manu- factured 4741 yards of linen, 830 yards of woolen, 380 pair of stockings, 213 pair of shoes, 4448 lbs. of nails, and picked 13 tons of oakum, besides which a quantity of linen was wove for persons out of the house who paid for weaving the same; and the cloathing for persons residing in both your houses were manufactured therein except a very few articles.
In 1771 three hundred and twenty one paupers made up 4902 yards of linen, 1875 yards of woolen, 275 pair of stockings, 311 pair of shoes, 3176 lbs. of nails; they also picked 3 3/4 tons of oakum, and bleached 1500 yards of linens, besides which, a large quan- tity of weaving was taken into the house upon hire, and the poor of the Alms House, House of Employ, and in the Pennsylvania Hospital, were all clothed with the manu- factures of the house, besides a number else- where, who were entitled to the benefit of the poor tax—although only about one third of those 321 persons were able to work.
In 1772, three hundred and fifty eight paupers, made up 5202 yards of linen, 1536 yards of woolen, 160 pair of stockings, 300 pair of shoes, and bleached 1200 yards of linen, besides which they made a consid- erable quantity of mats and points, and weaving was taken on hire.
In 1773, three hundred and twenty seven paupers, made 3986 yards of linen, 713 yards of woolen, 169 pair of stockings, 112 pair of shoes, and picked 7 3/4 tons of oakum, and made a considerable quantity of mats and points, besides weaving and bleaching done upon hire.
In 1774, two hundred and eighty paupers made 3347 yards linen, 583 yards of wool- len, 201 pair of stockings, 253 pair of shoes and picked 9 tons of oakum, and made sund- ry small articles though most of those 280 people were helpless, old and infirm and inca- pable of labor.
In 1775, three hundred and twenty seven paupers, made 3437 yards of linen, 704 yards of woolen, 186 pair of stockings, 237 pair of shoes, and picked 9 tons and 3 hundred weight of oakum; the poor of the Alms House, House of Employ, in the Hospital and elsewhere, entitled to the ben- efit of the poor tax were clothed this year, although about two thirds of the patients in the Alms House were incapable of service.
In 1776, four hundred and ten paupers made 832 yards of linen, 460 yards of wool- len, 189 pair of stockings, 114 pair of shoes, 510 lbs. of nails, and 2000 lbs. of thread, and picked 4 tons and 4 hundred weight of oakum, besides cloathing 356 persons with their manufactures, when about three fourths of these 410 persons were incapable of labor.
Now, gentlemen, let us see what you have done?
In 1799, six hundred and five paupers of the same description of people as the above, have earned by their labor a profit of 45 each, throwing their 153 children out of the question, who do not work, one with another; and the whole value of their labor, giving them one half of the goods manufactured for making them up, is 168 each and no more. What think you of all this? Is it possi- ble that any man can wonder at my question, "what is the reason of this obvious declen- sion in the labor of patients of the House of Employ?"
THE MILITARY SPIRIT
Seems to pervade the whole continent.—By a gentleman from New-York we under- stand that Governor Jay has organized a Regiment or Legion, of all the uniformed corps in that city; to consist of 20 com- panies of Infantry, composing 4 battalions; and assigned the command thereof to that intelligent and active officer, col. MORTON.

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. Semmelweiss, Maiden Lane, New York; also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston.
Copies will be sent to Boston and other places, as soon as occasions offer.] may 28.

TERMS 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, or 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 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 2 dolls. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable sum 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 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 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 inestimable. 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:
"To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States."
"The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia,"
"Respectfully & earnestly,"
"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."
