LANDING,

the bond for £449-12-1, payable the 1st day of March, 1789; that in execution of this agreement the bonds were assigned, and the further bond aforesaid was executed, and all were delivered to the plaintiff; that the amount of the bonds assigned, and the further bond aforesaid, exceeded what was due principal and interest at five per cent. on the old footing bond.
A special verdict was found in substance as follows: That Prifoe was indebted to the plaintiff, by bond, on the 1st of January, 1786, in £445-11-2-3/4, payable in bills of exchange, or current money, at the current exchange when paid, with interest from that date; That the Defendant on the 17th of December, 1787, by agreement between him and the plaintiff, did make over and assign to the Plaintiff sundry bonds, amounting to £780 current money, at the value of £82-8-2-3/4 per cent. exchange, and the balance was £106-7-2-3/4 sterling, which, at the rate of forty per cent. exchange, amounted to £149-12-1 current money; and the defendant in pursuance of the settlement which they refer to in his plea, gave the bond in suit on the 11th Oct. 1788, with two securities for the £149-12-1 payable March 1st, 1789, with interest from December 17th 1787; that the defendant about the time of assigning the bonds intended to remove to Kentucky, and the plaintiff afterwards declared the defendant should not have gone without having settled the debt, That the bonds assigned have been fully paid up and satisfied to the plaintiff, together with the interest due to the time of payment. That the obligors in the bonds assigned, were, at the time of the assignment, deemed of sufficient estate and property to discharge them. That at the time the writ in this suit was served upon the defendant, he acknowledged the debt to be a just one.
The paper referred to consisted, 1st. The settlement between Gibson and Prifoe on December 17th, 1787, wherein Prifoe is made debtor for the old bond and interest to that time; his credit for the bonds assigned at £82-8-2-3/4 sterling, and the balance is reduced at forty per cent. and makes £149-12-1 current money; and Gibson acknowledged at the foot, that for this balance the bond in suit was given—2dly. A particular state of the bonds assigned, showing their several amounts and times of payment; some of these bonds being due on the 17th of December, 1787; and others, and those the most considerable, being due at future days. Subjoined is a written covenant signed by the defendant, that the bonds are all due, and that no part of them had been received by him or any of Mr. John Ball's executors, or any person for them. On this verdict judgment was given in the district court, for the defendants and the plaintiff appealed. The judgment of the court of appeals affirmed the judgment of the district court; and by this affirmation it is now established, that a case under all these circumstances is yours.
From Paris Papers to the 29th September, received by the ship Farmer.
MANTUA, August 29. The following letter shows that Mantua now makes an integral part of the Cisalpine republic, and will calm the inquietude of republicans, who were afraid of seeing that fortress repass to the power of the Emperor. "General Miollis, the commandant of Mantua, to the administration of State.
"Citizens, "General Berthier, chief of the Etat Major General, has made known, on the part of Mantua, that its territory, as well as all the communes on the right bank of the Oglio and of the Po, form an integral part of the Cisalpine republic, and, of course, their police belongs to the executive directory of that republic, and to the authorities which are established there.
"Mantua should be provided with provisions for a year's siege; they are employed in the fabrication of 1500,000 rations of biscuit, and all the laborers are employed in this business. Articles of every kind, destined for the provisionment of this fortress, are expected from Milan, which the general in chief will, it is supposed, immediately visit.
MILAN, September 11. The executive directory has decreed that until the formation of a general law for the whole Cisalpine republic, all collections of ecclesiastical benefices, except curacies, shall remain provisionally suspended.
PETERSBURG, Sept. 7. His majesty of all the Russias has assigned to Louis XVIII the sum of two millions of roubles to enable him to purchase land either in Russia or Germany. The Emperor has also charged Prince Kivilkank to receive every individual of the army of Conde, who may desire to enter into the service of Russia.
GENOA. Sept. 18. Tranquillity is perfectly re-established here, Several of the chief conspirators are arrested; some have been shot, amongst whom was a priest of Valle Buona, and a French emigrant priest. About sixty ex-patriots have been arrested, and are confined in one of the halls of the ci-devant Petty Council, and guarded by a number of centinels. Augustin Trisco, and a certain De-franchi, are in the prisons of the tower. Many of the peasants are also arrested. The provisional government has demanded of General Buonaparte a reinforcement of French troops. They are arrived, and are lodged between the new and old walls of the city.
BORDEAUX, October 3. We read in No. 8 of the Grandeur, that the General Buonaparte being informed that the Emperor had formed a secret league with the court of Rome, the object of which was to surprise him, had himself turned the tables upon those two perfidious allies, and that his first coup-de-main had been to surround thirty thousand men, and make them lay down their arms, and that he meant to proceed to Rome, to chastise them into good faith, and open the eyes of credulous nations, by breaking the talisman of a cunning court, which has owed its too long enjoyed power, only to ignorance and superstition. Thus it seems reserved for the hero of Italy, to efface from the list of the states of Europe, this modern Rome, who has inundated the universe with blood and tears. We are assured that Cerber, contractor for
the horse furniture of the army of Italy has written home, announcing the signature of the treaty of peace with the Emperor.
PARIS, September 23. We can now announce without fear, that Buonaparte has surrounded the troops of the Emperor, beyond Udine, and that in the space of 6 days or more, he will be at the gates of Vienna, unless a peace, the most honorable and satisfactory, both to us and the Italians, shall be consented to by his Imperial majesty. (Ami des Lois.)
Notwithstanding the above, they write from Roveredo, 4th September, thus:— Roveredo, Sept. 4. "The Gazette of Padua, of the 24th August, after having related the entertainments which had been given to Buonaparte during his stay in that city, adds, the commander in chief, has declared to the troops of the division of Massena, which he came to review, that peace is made with Portugal, it is hoped for with England, and I am going to Udine, in order to conclude peace with the Emperor. Buonaparte departed in the night for Treviso."
The following letter from Italy, which is authentic, would induce one to believe that not the best understanding exists between the Court of Vienna and the Prince of Conde. It is written by an officer of rank, under Princes Charles, to his brother! it as follows:
"Our generals are much surprized at the new conspiracy discovered in France, and are sorry it existed. All assure that our court had no hand in it.
"The Prince of Conde came the 12th September to visit Prince Charles: but was received with the greatest coldness. Prince Charles even told us that he was sorry to see that Conde was here, and that but for him a definitive peace would have now been signed.
"While at dinner, Conde received dispatches from Russia, relative to his departure for that country with his army. It is certain that he is countenanced only by that court and England. He is totally abandoned by ours. We even have orders to arrest and try all those who shall be found recruiting for him.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED. Jacomin begged leave of the council, to relate some details concerning the transactions at Point-Saint-Esprit.—Leave was granted.
I come, said he, to give you some interesting details which have been transmitted to me by the commissioner of the executive directory, near the department of La Drome. He informs me that the royalist army which was formed near Vaucluse and the department of La Drome, has been dispersed, and that Saint Christol, who acted as general of the two councils, has been arrested.
Jacomin then presented the letter from the commissioner; the following is an extract from it. "I was informed," says the commissioner, "two months ago, that a band of cutthroats was forming. The chiefs remained secret. Fear hindered them from uniting, they only dispatched parties of 25 men to lay wait near the roads, seize the messengers and couriers of the mail, and scour the country, where they assassinated the republicans."
"However, this armed force at length made its appearance two days ago in a body of 400 men. No one could discover their designs; Saint Christol and Berigan were the chiefs. At length they made an attack on Point-Saint-Esprit, and got possession of the citadel. We had at that time no knowledge of what was passing at Paris. The courier of the 19th which did not arrive till the 26th, contained nothing but dispatches, which were of little importance."
"I send you herewith the manifesto of this Saint Christol, who calls himself general of the two councils. Upon the news of the invasion of Point-Saint-Esprit I gave the necessary orders to destroy the germ of this new Vendee, which, already consisting of about 1500 men, began to make itself feared, and to levy contributions. My orders were executed with the rapidity of lightning, and the brigands retired from Point-Saint-Esprit carrying with them 5 pieces of cannon."
"Generals Almera and Tiffon made a junction at Carpentras, and marched in pursuit of the rebels. It is believed our troops have come up with, and defeated them; for a letter from the administration informs us, that Saint Christol has been arrested." Jacomin then read the manifesto of Saint Christol, of which the following is an analysis. "The tocsin of tyranny has been sounded in the palace of the directory; the constitution has been violated; your most faithful representatives are fallen under the poignards, and soon you will see the bloody scenes of Orange, and Carpentras renewed. What do I say? Such horrors are but an imperfect sample of what is preparing for you. It is on your bloody carcasses, on the palpitating breasts of your wives, they will execute their infamous projects. Roue yourselves, then, from your lethargy, rally at the voice of Willot and of Pichegru, whose humanity have covered them with glory. Hasten to join the brave army, that waits for you under the walls of Orange."
"It is to you, brave youths, that our voice is particularly addressed. We swear not to rest until we have delivered you from your tyrants." This manifesto is dated the 12th of Sept. corresponding to the 29th Fructidor.
Jacomin also read a letter from General Almera to the administration of La Drome, which states that the brigands retreated in disorder, after having massacred 7 or 8 persons, and levied a sum of 3000-0 livres; it concludes by announcing that St. Christol is arrested. The council ordered the printing of these pieces, and that honorable mention be made of the conduct of the national guard of Nimes, and of the administration of the department of La Drome.
September 29. The following is the solemn ceremony which is to take place in memory of general Hoche, who died at Wetzlar the third complementary day of the fifth year, in the thirtieth year of his age.
In the midst of the Champ de Mars, before the altar of the country, will be engraved the name of Hoche, and the principal victories which he had achieved.
Round the altar of the country will be erected funeral columns of trophies, inscriptions and colours, entwined with crape and black ribbon.
Around the pyramid, and the altar of the country, will be planted groups of poplars, between which casettes of antiquity shall be placed, and incense burnt therein.

During this march, the guns shall be fired by intervals, the muffled drums and military instruments shall play funeral airs. The directory shall return to the directory palace in the same order in which they left it. The Minister of the Interior, LETOURNEUX. We learn from Milan, that an order of the general in chief, dated head-quarters, near Udine, announces that all the divisions of the army were to be put in motion on the 2d Vendemiare (23d Sept.). The same order commands all the generals of division to complete the furniture of their troops; to have forty cartridges for each soldier, without counting those in the caissons; to send into the strong places the worst arms; to form their trains of artillery; to send immediately to head-quarters an account of the cavalry ready to march on the 2d Vendemiare; to send the sick into the
hospitals; to provision all the places fortified in a manner fit to support a siege. In short, all the measures of precaution which announce the renewal of war, are taken, and the generals are rendered personally responsible for their execution.
The Commissaire Ordinateur in chief is busily engaged in seconding the views of gen. Buonaparte. The march of the convoys, the route which they are to take, the places of deposit or rest, and the meeting again of each service, are regulated in a letter to citizen Lambert at Milan.
News is this moment arrived from Venice, that the correspondence of the powers of Italy and the cabinet of Austria have been intercepted by this re-union. It is true, that this may appear extraordinary, and that it coincides singularly with the royal conspiracy of the interior; but we do not believe that it is much to be feared.
There are some princes in Italy whose thrones have not been overthrown, only because Jupiter has not yet frowned. A gesture, a word, or a blow, or the signature of a certain man, will be sufficient to destroy the work of several ages. In the mean time, citizen Marmont, aid de camp of the general in chief, is gone to Rome; and the French fleet, composed of twelve men of war and seven frigates, have failed four days since. We are on the brink of great events.
The members condemned to transportation, who have been conducted to Rochfort, yet complain of the want of attention from their pretended partizans. The reception which they have received on their route, ought to have undeceived them in this respect. Indifference, indignation, or contempt, have been the only sentiments which have been manifested on their passage. They were embarked on board the Valiant the 18th Vendemiare. The following is an exact list:
Laffond Ladebat, Barthelemy, Larue, Barbe Marbois, Berthelot, Lavilleurnois, Ramel, Rovere, Pichegru, Aubry, Muriat, Brottier, Troncon Dueoudray, Willot, Dufourville, Bourdon.
Letellier, attached to the Ex-Director Barthelemy, who voluntarily followed him. The coveite failed the 2d Vendemiare, in the morning, with a favorable wind, and was soon out of sight.
The hopes and wishes of the friends of humanity are again deceived, and the authors of the troubles of France will again see their perfidious intentions recompensed by a renewal of the horrors of war. How, indeed, could it be expected, that the emperor, who has constantly aimed at our destruction, should consent to have peace, at the instant in which he was striving to excite troubles in the interior of the republic, and constantly favoring the enemies of the revolution? Had he not in them stronger auxiliaries than in his own soldiers? He certainly had, and we doubt not he did all he could to excite our divisions, and to favour the conspirators, which has been the true cause of his backwardness in concluding the projected peace.
The Courier Historique of Sept. 20, mentions the appointment of Citizen Guinguene, a distinguished author to the post of secretary general of the executive directory, in the room of Legarde. Citizen Golier is appointed Minister of Police.
On the 11th Sept. the Executive directory sent a message calling the attention of the Council of Five Hundred, to the law of August 2, which ordered the emigrants in the service of England; who were shipwrecked near Calais, and among others, the noted Choiseul, to be conducted into a neutral country, and set free, leaving them in this manner at liberty to rejoin the British and fight as before, against the republic.
The late conspirators had adroitly recommended and carried this measure by surprise under vain pretexts of humanity and justice. The Directory suggests the propriety of transporting those emigrants with the late conspirators to the coast of South America, in order to prevent them from again carrying arms against the republic.

STAGES.
THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time subsisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved; but, not as M. Slough intimates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the subject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last, a recital of which is not now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching himself to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippensburg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Wirtner, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, attention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the public can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippensburg. The fare as hitherto established. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Sunbury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Monday.
WILLIAM GEER.
Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797. N. B. This Line of Stages starts from this house of William Geer, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, proceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder in Harrisburg every Wednesday morning, on the same evening arrives at Patrick Cochran's in Shippensburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday; performing the same routine daily as in its tour from Philadelphia.
A Negro Man.
FOR SALE, the unexpired me (four years) of a stout, healthy, active negro Man. He is by trade a Cooper, was brought up when a boy to the farming business, is a good ploughman, understands the care and management of horses, and is a good driver. He has lately been employed in painting a new house and paints well—he is good tempered, and believed to be very honest, sold partly for want of employ, but more for being addicted to liquor.

MAIL STAGE.
THE Proprietors beg leave to inform the public, that they have established a Stage between Philadelphia, Allentown, Bethlehem, and the town of Tuckerton, in New-Jersey, to go once a week, and are provided with good horses, a comfortable carriage, and a careful driver, for the conveyance of the mail, passengers, and goods. The Stage will start every Thursday, at 10 o'clock, A. M. from Mr. Daniel Cooper's Ferry, and lodge that night at John Bodine's, at Longacoming; and on Friday, at 6 o'clock, P. M. arrive at Caleb Evans's, innkeeper, in Tuckerton, distant from the city 54 miles, (from the Atlantic 6, and from the East Grafting Plains 7 miles) where there are good accommodations for travellers, and where are commodious and safe passage boats provided to convey passengers to Capt. William Warington's house, on Tucker's Island, adjoining the Atlantic, where are good accommodations, and a convenient place to bathe: the sportsman who wishes to regale himself with fowling and fishing, may at this place be highly gratified, there being at almost every season of the year fowl and fish in abundance. The Stage on its return, starts from the aforesaid C. Evans's in Tuckerton, every Tuesday, at 6 o'clock, A. M. breakfasts at John Bodine's, at Wading River Bridge, lodge that night at Longacoming, and at 1 o'clock, P. M. on Wednesday, arrive at the aforesaid Cooper's Ferry. It is presumed that no route of an equal distance will be less expensive, or furnish the traveller with a greater variety of amusement, as he will not only have a pleasant sail to the Atlantic from Tuckerton, but have the curiosity of seeing on the road hither a number of capital furnaces and forges, and one fitting mills, incomplete order, and at work; gentlemen, too, who are owners, or traders, of any of the aforesaid iron-works, are solicited to encourage and support this Stage (by which they can be so well accommodated) the continuance of which will much depend on their aid. The rates of passengers and baggage are as follows: For a passenger from the aforesaid Daniel Cooper's Ferry to Tuckerton, including 14 lb. of baggage, Two Dollars; for every passenger per mile, Four Cents—150 lb. of baggage equal to a passenger. Postage of letters, newspapers, &c. will be agreeably to law. N. B. The mail crosses from the Old Ferry. THOMAS WARDLE & Co. Tuckerton, Sept. 28. Oct. 5.—2awtf
The Norfolk Mail STAGE.
THIS Stage starts from the GEORGE Tavern, at the corner of Second and Arch Streets, in Philadelphia, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, at the 3 o'clock, in the morning; arrives at Dover at the first day, at Snowhill the second day, at Northampton Court House the third day, and on the morning of the fourth day the passengers find a safe and comfortable packet to convey them to Norfolk. A packet leaves Norfolk for Northampton ferry, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Stage starts from this ferry for Philadelphia, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday; puts up at Snow Hill the first night, at Dover the 2d night, and arrives in Philadelphia in the evening of the third day. The distance on this route, between Philadelphia and Norfolk, is 80 miles less than on any stage route between those places. Too much cannot be said in favor of the road, which is most excellent indeed. The proprietors willingly engage to return the whole fare to any passenger, who, after having performed this route, will say that he ever travelled in a stage for the same distance, so good a road in America.

PEALE'S MUSEUM.
THIS valuable repository of the works of Nature, so well calculated to delight the mind and enlarge the understanding, is opened daily, as usual. It stands in an airy and healthy situation, and free from the epidemic that at present afflicts the city; it may, therefore, be frequented with the greatest safety. As an Asylum, the study of Nature is the most rational and pleasing: as a Science, the most sublime and instructive. It elevates the mind and expands the heart. They "Whom Nature's works can charm, with God himself Held converse."
Many interesting additions have lately been made to this Museum: and the feathered tribe, containing a variety of the most rare and beautiful subjects, is now very advantageously arranged. Waxen Figures, of Men large as life (some of them cast from nature) are here dressed in their proper habits, and placed in attitudes characteristic of their respective nations. Here may be seen the North-American Savage, and the Savage of South-America—a laboring Chinese, and the Chinese Gentleman—the Footy African, and the Kamtschatdale—with some Nations of the South Sea Islands. The immense variety and interesting diversity which this Museum offers to the view, may be seen but cannot be described with full effect. Price only 1-4th of a dollar. Sept. 28. 1aw
