New-York, April 11.
Last Sunday afternoon arrived his Britannic Majesty's packet Prince William Henry, ———, Esq; commander, in seven weeks from Plymouth; also the brig Lucy, ———, from Liverpool, in ten weeks. In the packet came passengers, Dr. Prevost, Dr. White, Mr. Sutherland, Baron Poellnitz, his Lady and Son, Mr. Chollett, and Mr. L. Chollett.
English Papers are received by the packet to the 10th Feb. from which we have extracted the following intelligence:
B E R L I N, December 23. There has been sent to all pastors and preachers in the country, by orders of the King, directions, that they should add to their catechism, and instructions in christianity, an account of the punishments inflicted by the laws on such as are guilty of murder, theft, and other atrocious crimes that all persons may be acquainted with the pains they are to expect here as well as hereafter, for their wickedness.
Madrid, Jan. 8. An express has arrived at Madrid from Algiers, with an account of the plague having broken out at Constantia with such violence as to spread the alarm over all that part of the coast. The number of deaths was said to be from fifty to eighty in a day, and the Consuls and other foreigners at Algiers had shut up their houses, and renounced all communication with the rest of the inhabitants.
Paris, Jan. 25. The King has published a circular letter, addressed to such of his opulent subjects as profess themselves friends to the country and humanity, inviting them to contribute towards the expence of erecting four hospitals in the city of Paris. Such as subscribe 10,000 livres, will have their names engraved upon a brass plate, as a testimony to future generations that there were people of philanthropic minds, who delighted in establishing an asylum for the reception of the unfortunate. The Sovereign and his august family propose to contribute liberally towards the four hospitals. There is doubtless great merit in imitating the conduct of the English, through whose patriotic subscriptions great numbers of useful and benevolent establishments have been formed in all parts of the country of that philosophical people.
L O N D O N, January 16. Mr. Adams, the American Ambassador, has had several conferences with the Secretaries of State since the receipt of the last dispatches from Mr. Temple, his Majesty's Envoy at York; and it is the report, that the arrangement of the articles of a Commercial Treaty between Great Britain and America is very near being completed.
Yesterday arrived the mails from France and Ireland. From a private letter received by the former, we extract the following article of intelligence; the Emperor of Morocco has sent to the States of America a letter, of which we here give a literal translation:
In the name of God! Mahomet, Ben-Abdala! Most illustrious Congress of America!
We have received your letter by the hands of your Ambassador, and perused its contents with all due attention. We have remarked therein, the inclination you express of concluding with us a treaty of peace. To this we willingly have assented, and even ratified the plan, such as you have proposed, by setting thereto our imperial seal. Wherefore, we have, from that very moment, given strict command to the Captains of our ports, to protect and assist all ships under American colours, and, in short, to shew them every favour due to the most friendly powers: Being fully determined to do much, when an opportunity offers. We write this in full testimony of our sincere friendship, and of the peace which we offer on our part.
Given the 20th day of the Ramadan, in the first year of the Hegira, 1200, that is the 24th of July, 1785.
Feb. 1. Yesterday Lord G. Gordon made his appearance in the Court of King's Bench, with a book under his arm, and when an opportunity offered, his Lordship addressed the Court upon his former objection of not being legally described in the writ—but the Court not being disposed to bear his litigation, cut the matter very short, his Lordship, making his obeisance, withdrew.
The Court, our correspondent observes, have, in his opinion, brought this silly business of his Lordship entirely upon themselves—They ought not to have known when he first made his appearance, but being so indulgent, he will now (unless a stop is put to it) pay them a visit every day in the term.
The eyes of all the statesmen in Europe are said to be fixed on the decisions of the English Parliament relative to the French Treaty. Most likely this is the case; and it is probable that the good people in America also take a concern in the issue of the business. It is, therefore, the duty of every Member of Parliament to act independently and sincerely. The leaders of both the grand parties in this country (and their opinions are most frequently the opinions of their adherents) admit, that so far as the emoluments of trade go, the Treaty is eligible. On the subject however, of the policy of the measure, no such concurrence of sentiment is discernible. For while Ministry and their friends in Parliament, who no doubt compose the majority, hold, that to sanction the Treaty will be of all conceivable policies the wisest; the Opposition contend, that the wisdom which Ministers see in the measure, appears to them in a very questionable shape; and, that they must be much better acquainted of several important points before they can grant their approbation. This being the true state of the matter one cannot guess with much certainty
what may be the degree of popularity that may be attached to the measure when it comes to be passed into a law. But there are reasons for believing that it cannot be unpopular, and they are these: The great body of the people always feel themselves satisfied with any act by which their individual interests are promoted; and if, as they are likely to do in the present instance, they perceive, that the very measure by which they are to be benefited, has met with the approbation of by far the greater number of those who make laws for the nation, they cannot fail of being much delighted with it.
The elegance of the style in which sentiments have been clothed, has frequently rescued them from reproach. Why should not the same deference be paid to fine language in these days?—There is no reason why it should not; and, of course, those wits are highly blameable who have, within these two last days, endeavoured to represent as a bull, one of the best turned periods that has been uttered in Parliament for many years. It was spoken in Monday's debate, and was somewhat as follows: "It is remarkable though the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Grenville) does not choose to condescend to listen to my arguments, yet, he always deigns to answer them."
The point in contest in the House of Commons seems to be, whether or no the French Treaty shall be carried into effect, independently of any future proceedings of the Court of Portugal. Mr. Fox is of opinion, that the suspence in which the British manufactures now are, ought to be broken through as soon as possible; and yet, he recommends to postpone any final step regarding the French Treaty, till full information can be had from Portugal. Mr. Pitt, on the other hand, contends, that the Legislature ought at all events to proceed with the French Treaty—not merely because the termination of it will be the most effectual means of composing the minds of the people, but because there is no circumstance connected with our alliance with Portugal which can render it rash or unwise to close as soon as possible with the French. He rests his arguments on the great advantages which will accrue to these islands from their intercourse with France, whatever be the disposition of the Court of Portugal; and, on the impropriety of imagining that the Treaty with France can be any barrier to our being formed with Portugal, since a distinct clause of the French Treaty, makes an unlimited reserve in favour of Portugal. These reasons, it must be acknowledged, seem very fair. However, the contested point may in the end come to be decided, as most points in Parliament are, the omnipotency of a vote.
In the three articles of wool, metals, and coals, the British have a prodigious superiority over the French; and that they here will soon become evident on the commencement of the competition which our manufactures and traders now look for. The French, have at all times experienced such difficulties in obtaining materials to constitute the fabric of their cloths, that they have thought it worth while to run all the hazards of smuggling from England. Their iron works of every description are infinitely less complete and useful than ours. And as to coals, they have none in their own dominions. Our traders have remarked these circumstances.
Feb. 2. We are informed, that the ceremony of consecrating the American Bishops will be privately performed at Lambeth next Sunday, after which they purpose immediately to set off for America, to communicate the sacred effects of it to their brethren, that in future they may have no occasion to go so far from home to kindle their episcopal torch.
Doctor Prevost, one of the American Bishops, was bred in the university of Cambridge has a large acquaintance in this country, by whom he is much esteemed, and has the general character of being a man of learning and moderation.
Feb. 10. Yesterday the Bishop of New-York and the Bishop of Philadelphia were consecrated at Lambeth palace.
Extract of a letter from Paris, Jan. 29. "I have just time to tell you, that Monsieur le Comte de Vergennes is at this instant on the point of death. Such a place as his cannot long remain vacant, and a successor is already mentioned. The Duke de la Vauguyon's sudden return from Madrid, points him out to many, to all indeed who pretend to a little knowledge in politics, as the person on whom the King has fixed his choice. The most surprising part of my information is the report now current, and generally credited, that the Duchess de Polignac, that woman, who has so long enjoyed the éclat and honours of favouritism, has been chassée, literally expelled from Court. If this, as I do assure you there is little doubt of it, is confirmed, there is more in the event than readily meets comprehension, especially in the present circumstances." The following are the Heads of the Treaty of Peace concluded betwixt the Americans and the Emperor of Morocco, July 24, 1786.
If the Americans are at war with any other nation, their vessels are to be allowed to take refuge in any of the ports belonging to his Imperial Majesty—all Moorish subjects, found on board the enemy's ships to be made prisoners, and their effects considered as prizes; the same article holds with regard to the Americans—The ships belonging to the two contracting powers, when they meet at sea, to salute and parley, but not to come on board of each other—In case of war, it is lawful to board each other but only two men to do this, and if they commit any excess, the sufferers to be recompensed by them—if any frigates or cruisers belonging to his Moorish Majesty take an American vessel, and bring it into one of his ports, his Majesty will immediately release the ship and crew, and restore their effects—When any of his Majesty's ships enter an
American port, she is to be hospitably received, and furnished with what she may stand in need of—If an American ship wants repairs and comes into any of his Majesty's harbours for that purpose, it shall be allowed her to land, and put on board again her goods, without paying any duty—If an American vessel is wrecked on any coast belonging to the Emperor of Morocco, she is not to be molested in any manner, but provided with necessaries—American vessels in the harbours or on the coasts belonging to his Imperial Majesty to be secure from other nations, and receive every assistance from Moorish subjects.
This article extends, vice versa, to Moorish ships in the harbours or coasts of America—in case of war, if the vessels of the two contending powers happen to be together in any of his Majesty's harbours, they are to depart one by one, at 24 hours interval between the time of each departure; this article extends to the Moorish ships in America—The prisoners of an American ship arriving at any harbour belonging to his Imperial Majesty, cannot be given up to any power whatever—American vessels, saluting towns belonging to his Imperial Majesty, to have the salute returned by the same number of guns—American merchants settling in any of the ports belonging to his Imperial Majesty, to enjoy the same privileges and advantages as other nations, and can trade from one port to another, &c. They are to enjoy the same liberty to trade as other nations, to remove their effects from one ship to another, without being detained for quarantine, and to be allowed interpreters—In case of a war between the two nations, they are to exchange their prisoners of war, man for man—American merchants not to be obliged to purchase merchandise contrary to their pleasure, nor to be molested in the disposal of their goods—When the goods are landed, they are to be examined, that the usual duties may be imposed; but in case of fraud, or contraband goods, the person committing the fraud only to be punished without a confiscation of the ship—Masters of ships not obliged to carry their goods from one port to another, without their will, notwithstanding the price offered and agreed upon—Americans, guilty of crimes to be subject to the judgment of their own Consul only—If he require assistance from the Governor of the place, it is to be granted him—If he cannot determine the case, the criminal is to be sent to America—An American injuring or assaulting a subject belonging to his Imperial Majesty, may be imprisoned by the Governor, who is to sit in judgment upon him, but in the presence of the Consul, who is allowed to plead his cause. If the prisoner makes his escape, the Consul is not answerable. If an American subject dies in his Imperial Majesty's dominions, his effects are to be sent to the Consul, or the trading company, to be surrendered to the heirs claiming the same—The American Consul is to reside in one of the ports belonging to his Imperial Majesty, and considered as other Consuls—In case of a disagreement between the two contracting parties, the peace is to remain until the matter is determined; if war is resolved on, arms are not to be taken up before nine months after the determination, in order to give the subjects of both nations time to depart quietly with their effects—If his Imperial Majesty thinks proper to grant any new privileges to other nations, the same are to be extended to the Americans—The peace between the two nations is to last fifty years, from the present twentieth day of the Ramadan, year of the Hegira, 1200; that is, July 24, 1786.
Extract of a letter from Peterburgh, Dec. 3. "Nothing is talked of here but the voyage to Cherson, which is to take place on the 14th of January. Great preparations have been making for some time for this journey; the two young Princes, the grandsons of our Sovereign, are to set off two days before her Majesty. There is no doubt that her Majesty will commence her journey if she goes as far as Kiow, where she is to have an interview with the Emperor and the King of Poland. Although, by the Polish constitution, the King cannot absent himself from his dominions, unless in cases of great emergency, yet, as Kiow is at no considerable distance from the frontiers of his kingdom, he may, incognito, take this little excursion, without offending the etiquette of the constitution."

Debates in the British House of Commons, Feb. 6.  Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with France.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved, "That this House will, on this day, resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider of so much of his Majesty's Speech to both Houses of Parliament, on Thursday, the 23d of January last, as relates to the Treaty of Navigation and Commerce with his Majesty and the Most Christian King."
Lord George Cavendish rose as soon as the question had been read from the Chair, and expressed a wish to move a Call of the House, declaring it to be his opinion, that such a form ought to precede the entering into a discussion of a subject of such magnitude as the Treaty with France. His Lordship added a few more words, but the House was not sufficiently quiet to enable us to collect the sense.
The SPEAKER informed his Lordship that the House was in possession of a Motion, which had been made and seconded; therefore the way for his Lordship to proceed, would be to move to leave out the words of the Question, that named the day for the consideration of the Treaty, and to insert the day on which he wished the House to be called over.
Lord George then moved to leave out the words "this day fortnight," and insert the words "this day fortnight."
As soon as the Speaker had read the Motion and the Amendment, Mr. Fox rose, and entered almost immediately into argument against proceeding to the deliberation of a matter of so much novelty and importance at so short a notice as a single week. Considering the Treaty in the light that he did, Mr. Fox said, he was astonished that the Rt. Hon. Gentleman could think of calling upon that House to come to a decision, without allowing a longer time for Gentlemen to inform themselves on the subject and without a Call of the House. He reminded the Right Hon. Gentleman of the bad effects of precipitation in measures of magnitude, and instance the circumstances that had marked the introduction and issue of another Treaty brought into that House three Sessions ago, viz. the Irish Commercial Treaty, or as it had been styled, and would consequently be better known in that House by the title of the IRISH PROPOSITIONS . The Right Hon. Gentleman, he said, had succeeded in many of his measures, but in no one had his success been so honourable to himself, as his failure in the Irish Propositions had proved forunate to him, and fortunate to his country. The House could not but recollect with what precipitation the first Irish Propositions had been brought before them, and they well remembered what an escape the country had in not having as precipitately come to a decisive vote respecting them. Let that escape teach greater caution and better prudence. Let the danger so accidentally avoided then, be judiciously provided against in the present instance. Let the House call to mind the various guards (as they were called) that were, upon the sound advice offered after the Irish Propositions were first submitted to Parliament, adopted by the Right Hon. Gentleman, and inserted in those very different Propositions, that at the end of the Session were sent over to Ireland from the two Houses. Let the House call to mind the article, that fortunately for this country had been inserted among those Propositions, which obliged Ireland to reject the whole. He spoke at large of the essential benefits that had resulted from the delay adopted in the case of the Irish Propositions. It had at that time, he reminded Gentlemen, been asked with an air of paltry triumph, when objection was taken, fortunately taken, to the going precipitately to a vote on the business, — "Where are the Petitions from the Manufacturers likely to be affected by the measure?" What was the consequence? The table was soon after loaded with Petitions, signed by the most respectable names that ever were known among the Manufacturers of the kingdom! and one great good indeed arose out of the measure—it was the means of furnishing that House and the House of Lords with two of the best and most excellent Treatises on the Manufactures and Commerce of Great Britain, in the shape of evidence, that perhaps ever were perused. He next mentioned the various measures of great importance, upon which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had totally altered his sentiments in the course and progress of proceeding, influencing the Right Hon. Gentleman's own India Bill, which, he said, had been so completely changed, in the period of passing through
that House, that not one flick of the original materials, that formed the first erection, was to be found in the building that was finished. He mentioned also, the various alterations the Bill had undergone, even after it was first passed into a law. Upon these considerations, Mr. Fox advised the Right Hon. Gentleman to agree to the motion; and he contended that in giving him such advice, he acted as his best friend. If the Treaty was of the greatest importance to the political as well as the commercial interests of Great-Britain, it undoubtedly required the most serious deliberation, and that ought to be grounded on a minute enquiry into all its bearings. The Right Hon. Gentleman would have it understood, that he thinks it a wise measure, and a measure likely to produce the most solid advantages to the country. Will it be the worst for the delay of a single week? — "What advantage can I gain (said Mr. Fox) by the Right Hon. Gentleman's acceding to the motion? If the Treaty be, after examination, found to deserve all the good opinion the Right Hon. Gentleman entertains of it, his triumph will be the greater; if it can stand the test of investigation, why shrink from it, and deny the only means of investigating it amply and completely? If it shall appear that the opinion of its salutariness be ill-founded and groundless—that however its present and immediate effect may be partially advantageous to our manufacturers, its remote consequences threatened the most serious danger to the best and first interests of the country, will not the Right Hon. Gentleman be bound to thank those, who prevent his running himself and the country into so fatal an error, as prematurely obtaining from Parliament their sanction of a measure big with national detriment, and perhaps ultimately productive of the national ruin." Nor was it merely for these reasons, though surely of sufficient seriousness and importance, that Mr. Fox contended more delay was absolutely necessary. What would the high contracting parties, what would Europe think of the indecency of proceeding to a vote at so short a notice? It was but on Friday last that the House first had notice of the day on which the Right Hon. Gentleman had now moved to have the Treaty considered. Were ten days sufficient for gentlemen to have made up their minds in upon a matter that comprehended so vast a variety of objects? Time ought to be allowed them to consult their constituents upon the subject, and what delay was asked? only an additional week, so that if his noble friend's amendment were adopted, the House would then, in seventeen days only, from the first day of notice, proceed to deliberate a measure of the highest national importance. The Irish Propositions they had been luckily freed from by the spirit and virtue of the Parliament of Ireland, routed by that insertion which had been made in the Propositions by the Parliament of Great-Britain. Let the House recollect they had not a chance of a similar escape in the instance of the French Treaty. They must agree to take the whole of the Treaty, or none. That was the express condition of it, contrary to what had been usual on other occasions, and they might be assured the French would not violate its conditions. He had, he said, been held out as a person not very prone to compliment France in his expressions. Liberally he ever wished to speak of her; but whatever might have been said of French faith, he could not bring himself to such an opinion of it, or to think so ill of French perfidy, as to be led to believe that France would send back the Treaty after it should be sanctioned by the British Parliament, or that she would not perform her part fully and completely. Before the House agreed to it, therefore, it ought to be well aware of the effect it would have on our connections with other powers. He had no scruple to say, that what lay chiefly on his mind, was our connexion with Portugal, which was in his view of it of the utmost importance, and required the most attentive consideration. There was an alternative to be looked to in the case of Portugal, either side of which was material. Was the Methuen Treaty to be done away by the French Treaty, and all the advantages derived to this country under the Methuen Treaty, to be lost, or were we to lower the vines of Portugal one third, and thereby sacrifice and give up 150,000l. of our annual revenue? This alternative Mr. Fox dwelt on for some time with great energy, and said, the House ought either to know the state of the pending negotiation, or the probable condition of this country, supposing the negotiation with the Court of Lisbon to be at an end. In either point of view, the Treaty presented itself to consideration very differently. Another matter that made farther time necessary, was the circumstance of the Convention presented so lately. Upon looking into that Convention, it appeared to contain stipulations different from what the Treaty contained. In the latter, three distinct Articles of manufacture were mentioned altogether without the smallest discrimination, although the Convention provided for each separately, as their separate nature and properties required. In fact, the Convention and the Treaty appeared to be no more alike than the Propositions we ultimately sent over to Ireland were like those that were originally sent to England by Mr. Orde. Having gone over these various grounds of argument in support of the amendment very fully, and put them into various different points of view, Mr. Fox drew his speech towards a conclusion, declaring that if by meaning Monday se'nnight, the Right Hon. Gentleman only meant to begin in the business, by reading papers, stating accounts, examining witnesses, or entering upon any other preliminary matter, he would not in that case object to the day, as he wished the main debate, and the coming to a decisive vote on the Treaty to be delayed, and nothing else.
As soon as Mr. Fox sat down, Sir Richard Hill rose and said, though he happened to rise on the same side of the House, on which the Right Hon. Gentleman, who had just done speaking sat, he by no means meant to support his side of the question. Sir Richard then said, that the Right Hon. Gentleman's argument against dispatch resided in him of that Right Hon. Gentleman's own motion, and a measure of his own when in office. He referred to the Bill of 1784, on which occasion he had been obliged to have a Call take place, before he could decide upon its principle. Sir Richard recited the particular circumstances of the transaction, and declared, that when that Bill was thrown out by the House of Lords, the people joined in praises and thanksgivings at their deliverance from a Bill that aimed at setting up an unconstitutional power, and wantonly destroyed the chartered rights of the East India Company.
Mr. Fox rose to explain, and declared, that the facts alleged were not correctly stated. He then proceeded to mention the order in which the House had been discussed the India Bill of 1784, but upon the other side of the House manifesting some doubts of his correctness, he said, the most authentic reference would be to the Journals, which he called for.

ACADEMY,
Little-Queen-Street, No. 19, between Nassau and Smith-Streets.
MR. GRAHAM finding that most of his Employers wish to have their Children taught English along with their Writing, Accompts, &c. and being conscious that he cannot do justice to his Scholars, while his mind is distracted by teaching at once a multiplicity of branches of Education, proposes, in compliance with the wishes of his Friends, on the First of May next, to open an Academy for teaching English, Writing, Arithmetic, Book-Keeping and Geography, in a large well-aired House, built for the purpose.
The English Language will be taught Gramatically, and the strictest attention paid to proper Elocution, by Mr. Johnson, a young Gentleman lately from England, who has been for some years in the practice of Teaching. Mr. Johnson has been examined by several Gentlemen of learning and taste in this City, and is warmly recommended by them as well qualified for the charge: and it is hoped, that, by devoting his whole time to the English Scholars, he will soon render them expert, not only in Reading, Speaking, Spelling, Parsing and Construing, but also in Composing Letters and other Pieces.
Mr. GRAHAM will continue as usual to teach Writing in all its various Hands, Arithmetic, Book-Keeping and Geography; and he flatters himself, that, by bestowing all his attention on these Branches, his Pupils will make more proficiency than they have hitherto done.
It is proposed to take a few young Ladies, betwixt the hours of Eleven and One, for Writing, Accompts, English Grammar and Geography.
N. B. A pair of Globes, and a general Atlas, will be provided for the use of the Academy as soon as possible. Mr. GRAHAM returns his most sincere thanks to those Gentlemen who have already honoured him with their employment, and humbly begs the continuance of their Friendship and Patronage.
Any Card or Message sent to the Academy, will be carefully attended to; where the Terms of Teaching may be known.

THE PROGRESS OF LOVE. In FOUR SONNETS. DEJECTION. COMPELL'D by a passion most pure, I rose with the loud-singing lark, In hopes of my charmer's leisure, Cros'd over the lawn or the park. The smiles of Aurora I hail'd, But I wanted my Philida's smile; In pursuit of the charmer I sail'd, And fear she despises my toil. Farewell to the daisy-dress'd mead— Dejection, I fly to thy cell! For some other more wealthy decreed, Is Philida desir'd, they tell. Cease warblers, your songs; and henceforward be mute, For my mate is in sorrow, and silent my flute.
JEALOUSY. I gather'd the violet so blue; Its colour spoke peace to my breast; An emblem of love that is true, My love for my fair-one express'd. The primrose invited my view, I lik'd not its colour so pale, Expressive of jealousy too— I left it to fade in the vale. Such caution 'twere needless to take, For Philida yester was seen, With gifts of a swain at the Wake, And at night shar'd his dance on the green. Since Jealousy's poison has harrow'd my breast, Adieu, ye soft blossoms of comfort and rest!
CONSOLATION. The flower of love have ye seen, Ye shepherds who honor the May? Delightfully sweet is its mein, When warm'd by Aurora's first ray. So Philida's smiles to my breast Contentment and pleasure impart— The sun was set down in the West, When I bowed to the pride of my heart. As ling'ring we travers'd the vale, The suit of her shepherd the heard; More sweet than the rose breathing gale Were her lips when she utter'd the word. A pleasing delirium steals over my breast, For my Philida's hand strews the poppies of rest.
CONSUMMATION. The roses twin-sisters that grew, Of turtles a pair from their nest, Begot with a ribbon of blue, The sweet nuptial union express'd. Dear emblems of innocent bliss, Did you merit my Philida's smile? Your presents I seal'd with a kiss, And bade a farewell to my toil. Next morning our gay village band To church my dear Philida bore: With pleasure I gave her my hand; My heart had been her's long before. And now, gentle Hymen, your blessings bestow; The turtle shall bill, and the roses shall blow.

Joseph Nathan, } Complainant, v. s. Israel Phillips, } Defendant.
FORASMUCH as it appears to this Court, that a Bill hath been filed therein by Joseph Nathan, Mortgagee, against Israel Phillips, Mortgagor, to obtain a decree for the Sale of certain Premises therein mentioned to have been Mortgaged by the said Defendant, Israel Phillips, to the Complainant, the said Joseph Nathan, whereupon process of Subpoena to appear and answer hath been duly issued and returned; and the said Israel Phillips hath not caused his ap- pearance to be entered in this suit, as according to the rules of this Court the same ought to have been entered in case the said process had been duly served; and an affidavit having been made to the satisfaction of this Court, that the said Defendant, Israel Phillips, has withdrawn him- self out of this State, and that he could not, upon diligent enquiry made by the Deponent, be found within the same, so as to be served with the said process, which issued on the filing of the said Bill of Complaint.

THE Subscriber took the liberty of inform- ing the public, some time ago, that he had obtained a NOSTRUM for all CANCE- ROUS, SCROFULOUS, and INVETERATE ULCEROUS CASES.—The modesty of his advertisement, and his apparent diffidence of the Medicines, has, he is well assured, deterred many persons la- bouring under the above complaints from apply- ing for relief. As he has had an opportunity of giving the Medicines a fair trial on many per- sons in and about this city, who have experienced its happy effects, and its proving invariably suc- cessful, he thinks himself warranted to assert with confidence, that the improvements he has, from his professional knowledge, been enabled to make in the Medicines, and mode of application, has put it in his power to engage a perfect cure in all the above cases, except where the great age or bad habit of body of the patient is such as to preclude a hope of success—which, whenever it occurs, will be readily acknowledged—as the dis- interested motive of demanding no pay where no cure is performed, will deter him from engaging when there is no prospect of succeeding.
