The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 14.
From Claypoole's American Daily Advertiser of January 15th 1794.
The situation of our country appears at this moment to be very delicate; perhaps the only mode to avoid a war, is for a Republic to resist every claim that is not founded in justice and equity, and to prevent every the smallest usurpation, as there is true dignity in this, so in the end, the history of all nations teaches us there is true policy.
War is the greatest of all evils, but whether submission and pusillanimity will not tend to bring it on a country, more than a firm tone, a decided and manly resistance to the first approaches of insult or injury, in my mind is not at all questionable—the greater the submission, the greater will be the imposition until nothing is left us.
The influence of Britain is intolerable, her desire of revenge, and the disposition of a wounded pride and vindictive spirit, appears in all her transactions towards us, prohibition of their trade, a confiscation of their debts would be a fair experiment, the latter is nearly as honorable as privateering. I could not refrain uttering the feeling of my mind to you on this subject, at a distance from information in the country we may be mistaken, but those appear to be the prevailing sentiments of the people.
A strict union with the Republic of France our interest and our honor require; the conduct of Cenet has nothing to do with the cause of the nation.
The above was published at a time when Britain, and not France, was the aggressor, what is the language of such writers now, (they who at that time felt so much for our wrongs, our insults, and who were so tenacious of national honor that they wished by a single legislative act to destroy innocent men of their property,) look in the Aurora , the Argus , and papers of the same stamp, you will find that those very characters, from the Virginia Mammoth down to Callender the Vagrant , the Vagrant, the very men who cry up non resistance to the Grand Republic, they can now see no national degradation in submitting to France; they are now like the fawning spaniel, that licks the hand that strikes him; nay, they are base enough to justify the insults to our government, the piracy on our commerce and the hellish murder of Americans.
Extracts of a letter from captain John Frankford, of the ship Belvidere, to Messrs. Nicklin and Griffith, dated Fort Mifflin, August 11, 1799.
I left Córuna the 1st of April, and on the 4th fell in with two French xebecs in the gut of Gibraltar, one of which engaged us three quarters of an hour, but bore away for the shore before the other came up. We continued our course and arrived at Gibraltar the same evening.
On the 13th, left Gibraltar for Alicante, and at 10 o'clock the same day, off Malaga, the sail bore in sight, which gave chase to us, and proved to be a French privateer brig and two xebecs, the brig began to fire, which we instantly returned, and the engagement continued till dark, when they all bore away for the Spanish shore, and we continued our course and arrived at Alicante the 19th April.
I failed from Alicante on the 28th May, and on the 2d of June, off Malaga, fell in with a French xebec, and engaged her two hours in a calm. She rowed twenty sweeps, but as soon as a breeze sprung up, that we could handle the ship, she made sail and pulled for the shore.
In all the above actions there is much credit due to the spirited exertions of both officers and men under my command.
Leaving Gibraltar, the 1st of July, in company with the Alert of Boston, and the America, of Philadelphia, at 4 o'clock P.M. I saw ten sail of French cruizers getting under way from Algeciras; upon which we stood back for the bay of Gibraltar and anchored at 10 in the night, got under way in company, and run through the gut.
You have here an account of the different fleets in the Straights. The French fleet passed Alicante, on the 10th May, of 24 sail of the line, 4 frigates and 2 brigs. Lord St. Vincent passed with his fleet, on the 13th of May, consisting of 17 sail of the line, and some smaller vessels. The Spanish fleet, consisting of 24 sail of the line, put into Carthagena, on the 23d of May—7 sail dismantled. Admiral Gardner, passed Gibraltar on the 11th of June, with seventeen sail of the line, one 40, and a frigate.
I also annex an account of the American vessels in Algeciras:
The ship General Washington , of Boston, captain John Roberts, captured by the Spanish gun boats, and detained by the Captain General of St. Roque.
The ship Hope , of Philadelphia, capt. George Hardie, captured by the French and ransomed.
The brig Sally , of Philadelphia, capt. William Bell, captured by the French and ransomed.
The brig Ceres , of Philadelphia, captain Thomas Norris, arrived without capture.
The ship Ardent , of Baltimore, capt. Alexander Smith, captured by the French; the captain was killed by some powder taking fire on his deck; the ship ransomed.
The ship Mary Ann , of New-York, capt. Adams, captured by the French, and had one man killed and seven wounded; it appears from the advice of the command-
the ship is ransomed and failed for Barcelona.
Left at Gibraltar, the ship Affliction , of Philadelphia, capt. Bray, waiting for convoy.
On the 4th of June, spoke the United States brig Sophia , captain Geddes, bound to Lisbon, with a British convoy.
On the 26th of July, in lat. 36, 29, N. long. 59, 30, W. spoke the United States brig Scammel , capt. Mark Funnell, 8 days out from the Delaware, bound to Surinam.
On the 2d of August, in lat. 35, 42, N. long. 62, W. spoke the United States frigate Constitution , capt. Talbot, 7 days out from Boston, bound to Norfolk, all well.
I have this moment arrived, and put under quarantine."
From Mr. Tatem, Supercargo of the William Penn, from Batavia.
There was but one merchantman at Batavia, a ship called the Copenhagen , Captain Mullens, to sail in a few days for Copenhagen. There was but one vessel passed through the Straits of Sunday, that I know of, a ship from Canton, bound to America. On the 31st July was boarded by the British ships Supply , capt. Pittigrew, of 24 guns, the Kitty , capt. Farmer, of 18 guns, the Harriot , capt. Lacey, of 18 guns, all of Liverpool, from Barbadoes, bound to Liverpool. In lat. 23, long. 62, out six days. Aug. 4, was boarded by the brig Rebecca , Howard, of and from N. York, out 12 days, bound to Cape Francois. We touched no where, nor have I any news of Tippoo Saib. There were two French ships about Java, one of 24 guns, the other of 28. They have captured nothing lately, as I had heard.
A few days before my departure, the general in chief of the military forces in Java was arrested by the regency. It appeared, that his intention to have arrested the governor general, director general and such of the council as were opposed to him in sentiment; what form of government he intended to establish, or how afterwards to act, does not appear. He was, however, closely confined to his own house, by a guard of 50 soldiers, all his papers seized, and the government taking every precaution that would be likely to prevent disturbance. The French Admiral Serey has removed from the Isle of France to Java, and it was generally believed that the government had made some agreement with him not to capture neutral vessels bound to Batavia, with specie on board. The pirates of Banca assembled about the 10th of April in the Straights of Sunda, to the number of 50 or 60 well armed prows, but were dispersed without doing any damage, by a 20 gun ship, and a brig of 16 guns, sent from Batavia.
There was a slight report at Batavia, by the way of Malacca, that 3000 of Buonaparte's army had arrived in India. It was not generally credited, and I believe wanted confirmation.
Yesterday arrived at New-York, the Norfolk floop of war Capt. Bainbridge, from St. Thomas, with a large fleet under convoy.
Extract from Captain Bainbridge's Journal.
Sunday, 4th Aug. 1799, lat. 25, 40, N. long. 67, 15, W. part of the fleet bound to the southward and some of the fast sailing vessels bound to the northward, left us last evening. At meridian, counted 84 sail, at 1 P. M. discovered a strange sail bearing north, we immediately gave chase and prepared for action, at half past 1 I saw she was a large ship standing on wind for the fleet, at 2 made the British private signal of the day, it was not answered, I then fired a gun to leeward and showed my colours, but fired no gun—Tacked and gave chase to us under full sail.
At half past 2 I made the American private signal, also repeated the English signals, neither of which was answered, by this time we could distinguish her hull, and saw that she was a large frigate, with a poop, failed very fast and gained on us considerably. At 3 P. M. the breezes being very light, and gained on us considerably, she hove her boat—with sails, and sent her in chase of the fleet—whilst she continued chasing us, from this as well as other circumstances, I felt no doubt in my mind or that of my officers—but what she was a French 44 gun frigate at least thought it highly necessary to disperse the fleet.
At half past 3 made the signal to tack with an intention of separating myself from the fleet—with a view if she continued her chase of the Norfolk, it might prove the means of saving the fleet—and if she chased the fleet the Norfolk would get clear, and her being captured would have assisted in capturing a number of the fleet, and as I could not render the protection against a frigate, I conceived it prudent to act in this manner—Part of the fleet obeyed the private signal and part continued their course to the northward—at 4 P. M. made the signal for the fleet to disperse, set all our canvas—yet still she gained on us—
At 6 P. M. being so near as to distinguish her ports repeated both the American and English private signals to which she paid no respect, but continued her chase, at 7 P. M. they had got such a distance from her boat, that she gave the chase after us up, took in her light sails and hauled her wind, her boat being a considerable distance from her and squally night coming on. I am induced to believe that the greater part of the fleet escaped, at five A. M. saw several sail ahead, hove too and made a signal to close—at eight A. M. had got forty eight sail together, the Retaliation was amongst those that tacked to the southward, being well to windward every doubt remains of her being taken.
er of the Retaliation, that those vessels that tacked to the southward had got clear and there is reason to hope few were taken, if any.

Last Saturday morning, Captain Robinson, who superintends the frigate which the merchants are building in this city, and Mr. Richard Dennison, of New-Brunswick, had a meeting on the Jersey shore, in consequence, we hear, of some reports unfavourable to the honour and courage of captain R. which Mr. Dennison had propagated. The gentlemen, in exchanging the first shot, were both wounded in the head. Capt. R. received a ball a little above the left eye, and is dangerously ill. Mr. D. was slightly wounded. (N.Y. pa.)

DUBLIN, May 31.
With pleasure we have it in our power to declare, that internal peace, order and submission to the laws, is so far re-established among us, that permanent duty will on this day, by order of government, cease with the yeomanry corps throughout the kingdom.
Letters from Cork advise, that orders have been sent to Lord Bridport to sail from the Irish coast on other service.
It is the general opinion that the greatest part of Lord Bridport's fleet have failed for the Straights, to reinforce the fleets under Lords St. Vincent and Nelson, leaving a strong squadron to scour the Bay of Biscay, (and we hope pick up the Ferrol ships in the Axis road) afterwards take a station off Ushant, to protect the British channel from the depredatory cruizers of the French privateers.
It is said, that the Childers Sloop sent from Lord Bridport's fleet to Lord St. Vincent's, off Cadiz, with an account of the sailing of the Brest fleet, was also to proceed to the island of Madeira, to apprise the home-ward bound trade from the East Indies of the news.
A rumour has prevailed for some days, upon what authority we cannot tell, that Lord Mulmsbury was about to resume a pacific mission to France. This report has risen probably more from this dreadful and protracted war, which is depopulating and impoverishing Europe, than from the wishes of those who are the sufferers from any foundation in fact—it were, however, most devoutly to be wished, that at a moment when France may be supposed gladly to accept peace, and England to offer it with dignity, that pacific efforts were made by some party to terminate the miseries of Europe, and shew its population that they were designed for other purposes by the Almighty Creator; "who gave them this fair world to dwell in," than that of destroying each other like the fabled creation of Cadmus. Gracious God! why is it that man alone, of all other animals, is in a state of constant and deadly warfare? Man, who lays exclusive claim to reason! Who assumes a portion of divinity, and peculiar protection of Heaven! 'Tis strange, but there is nothing monstrous in creation, in the physical or moral worlds, that man may, not claim as his own, or match in the extent of its deformity its folly, or its vice.
June 5. [CIRCULAR.] Dublin Castle, 29th May.
SIR, I having been represented to the lord lieutenant that several persons have been conveyed in packet boats and other vessels from this kingdom to Margate, Holyhead, Liverpool, and other ports in Great Britain, without being provided with the necessary passports, his Excellency desires you will notice in the most public manner in the several ports in your district, that if the commanders of such packets or other vessels shall permit any person to take their passage on board their respective ships, without being provided with the necessary passports, such commanders and persons so offending will be sent back to this kingdom, and tried by a court martial for a breach of the order of the Lord Lieutenant and council made in this behalf, bearing date the 26th day of May, 1798. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant.

LONDON, June 8. BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, Friday June 7.
THE BUDGET.
Mr. PITT, in a committee of supply, mentioned, that although he had already presented a statement of the finances of the country, yet, that it was his duty to recapitulate his former estimates, in order that the committee might be enabled to form an accurate judgment. He observed, that if he had formerly occasion to congratulate the public on the prosperous state of affairs, and the retrenchment which would safely be made in various departments, he now came forward with a new cause of public congratulation, on account of the large but wise increase and expenditure, rendered necessary by the vigorous and successful operations of our allies. Every one anxious for the peace and happiness of society, would rejoice with him on the favorable change, and general state of affairs, on the Continent of Europe. It was this favorable change which he hoped would be attended
with the happiest effect, that induced his majesty's ministers to propose the vote to which they had just now assented.
THE SUPPLY.
In recapitulating the various estimates, gentlemen would recollect the leading heads of those mentioned in the month of December last:
The total for the navy was stated at £3,600,533 but after deducting the diminution of the navy debts, and the savings expected in 1799, amounting to 1,403,000, the remainder total for that service would not exceed
The army estimates, on the most accurate calculation that could be made, amounted to
To which was to be added, first, the vote of credit for 1798, amounting to
And the extraordinaries of the army for 1799,
Among other statements, there was the interest of the money due to the bank—the discount of the loan and lottery of the preceding years—all the interest also of the exchequer bills—each of which ought to be classed in the deficiencies of the year. The saving of the last article for the last year was nearly 90,000, which, notwithstanding the general deficiencies, deserved notice.
The voluntary contributions, so highly honorable to the country, amounted at least exclusive of the sums from the East Indies and our other Colonial possessions, to 2,000,000. "When I contemplate the bounty of individuals on this great emergency, it is impossible for me (said Mr. Pitt)—it is impossible for the house, to pass over the generous act, without expression of the highest gratitude. It is also a satisfaction for me to state, that no distance of place, no distance of time or length of absence, has so alienated the affections of the Natives of Great Britain as to make them forget the interest and happiness of the mother country. Officers and privates come forward with the utmost solicitude and affection. From India itself has been received a voluntarily contribution—amounting to no less a sum than 300,000. Such a handsome pecuniary aid deserved the particular notice of the committee and of the House it came from a description of persons whom Rumor had falsely staled as regards of the interest or Glory of the mother country, while doomed to exert themselves in the accumulation of fortune and aggrandizement. But in this quarter of the world, the bounty of our subjects did not rest. It extended itself to the West Indies and our other settlements, where similar affections actuated the conduct of Englishmen."
The next Article which should attract their attention, was that of the Ordnance. A variety of savings had been made in this department. The Ordnance, however, exclusive of Sea Service, he would estimate at
The Article which followed was that of the Miscellaneous Services, to the amount nearly of
The Subsidy to the Emperor of Russia, about which there could not be the smallest difference of opinion, having every recommendation in its favour, amounted as already mentioned in the preceding part, to
Another sum yet remained—that of the National Debt, amounting to
While he noticed a Vote of Credit for 1799 to the amount of 3,000,000, and recapitulated various Deficiencies, recurring to the different sums now stated, he concluded by estimating the whole Supply at
THE WAYS AND MEANS,
To meet these necessary demands were arranged thus:—
The Land and Malt 2,750,000
The Lottery 200,000
A variety of observations then followed upon certain quarterages due in October, which would tend to the diminution of the public expenditure. Mr. Pitt then proceeded to specify the happy effects of the Consolidated Fund, on which considerable sums towards defraying the Public Exigencies might be calculated, viz.—
Surplus of consolidating Funds in.
January and April, 1799 - £521,000
Growing Produce of Ditto - 3229,000
In these sums, there was an increase arising from several causes to the amount of 1,700,000.
He next advanced to that part of his calculation, on which he reckoned by a modification on Exports and Imports, the sum of 1,500,000. The Article which followed demanded the particular attention of the Committee. It was that of 10 per cent. on Incomes. Although its real extent had not yet been fully ascertained, yet he had no hesitation in saying, that on this subject they had in some degree been disappointed, the Tax being considerably short of what he had estimated. The Commercial Income was far, very far, under his expectation. He had stated it at 4,000,000, but from what he could learn, it would not produce quite the one half of that sum. On this particular head, so very interesting to the Public Service, much allowance ought to be made for the deficiency, as from several remote parts of the country the Returns had not yet been made. This temporary disappointment ought not to make us conclude, that the original estimate will
not this following year be fully adequate to his expectations. But be that as it may, he became him, for the present time, to take Credit for a loose sum. He would therefore say 7,500,000.
After many observations about the various instalments of the Income Tax, he next advanced some remarks on the Loan, and its mode of settlement, which he proved was highly advantageous to the public: he stated, that he had not made a provision for the Loan by the irregular issuing of Exchequer Bills, All such temporary resources he had carefully avoided; neither had he added to the accumulation of Navy Bills. These he had very considerably diminished; for within the course of the year there would not be less than ten millions absorbed; therefore—if there was a necessity—there was ample room for the circulation of Two Millions of Exchequer Bills, to answer, the exigencies of the moment.
While on the Loan, he could not dismiss the subject without bestowing the highest encomiums on the gentlemen with whom he had concluded the bargain. He had always entertained an opinion, that the best mode of receiving offers was by public competition. On this occasion, he had, however, the satisfaction to state, that the contest was not as formerly, which should have the least quantity of long annuities, but by the junction of the three great Monied Interests in London, the whole was happily settled without any Long Annuities, a mode highly honourable to the parties, and for which there ought at least to be this instance of public gratitude.—It was also great satisfaction to him to learn, that these gentlemen entertained similar sentiments with him on the application of the sum of 825,000. for the deliverance of Europe.
INCOME TAX.
The following correspondence has taken place in the execution of the Income Tax Act:
To John Horne Tooke, Esq. Office of the Commissioners for carrying into execution the act for taxing Income.
SIR, Wansworth, May 3. The Commissioners having under their consideration your declaration of income, dated the 26th of February last, have directed me to acquaint you that they have reason to apprehend your income exceeds sixty pounds a year—they therefore desire that you will reconsider the said declaration, and favour me with your answer on or before Wednesday the 8th inst.
I am, Sir, Your obedient servant. W. B. LUTELY, Clerk.
TO MR. W. B. LUTELY.
SIR, I have much more reason than the Commissioners can have to be dissatisfied with the smallness of my income. I have never yet in my life disavowed, or had occasion to reconsider any declaration which I have signed with my name. But the Act of Parliament has removed all the decencies which used to prevail between gentlemen; and has given the Commissioners (shrouded under the signature of their Clerk) a right by law to tell me that they have reason to believe that—I am a LIAR! They have also a right to demand from me, upon oath, the particular circumstances of my private situation. In obedience to the law, I am ready to attend them upon this degrading occasion so novel to Englishmen; and to give them every explanation and satisfaction which they may be pleased to require.
I am, Sir, Your humble Servant, JOHN HORNE TOOKE.

“I have carefully reviewed the arguments... advanced by the counsel for the prisoner. I... have looked into the constitution, the treaty... the laws, and the cases quoted; and upon a... full investigation of them all, I am of opinion... that from the affidavits filed with the... clerk of the court, there is sufficient evidence... of criminality to justify the apprehension and... commitment of the prisoner for trial, for... murder committed on board a ship of war be-... longed to his Britannic majesty, on the high... seas; that requisition having been made by... the British consul, the officer authorized to... make the same, in virtue of the 27th article... of the treaty of amity and commerce between... the United States and Great Britain, I am... bound by the express words of that clause of... the treaty, to deliver him up to justice. And... I do therefore order and command the mar-... shal, in whose custody the prisoner now is, to... deliver the body of the said Nathan Rob-... bins, alias Thomas Nash, to the British con-... sul, or such person or persons as he shall ap-... point to receive him.”

Court was immediately adjourned; the irons... were replaced on the prisoner, and he was... delivered over by the Constables, to a detach-... ment of Federal troops, who had before been... placed under arms opposite the Court House... and had continued there during the sitting... of the Court.

APPROACHING ELECTION.
To the Electors of Pennsylvania.
AN address to the Freemen of Pennsyl-... vania has lately appeared from the Committee... appointed by the friends of Mr. M c Kean to... advance the interest of his election. Had... the Committee confined themselves to a refu-... tation of the charges alleged against their... candidate, and had they not so basely at-... tempted to vilify the principles, and destroy... the character of their opponents, no other... reply than a temperate investigation of their... reasoning should now have been produced.
So perfectly was a great number of the... “Jacobin” party convinced of the validity... and justice of the personal objections which... might be urged against the Chief Justice, and... so fully were they apprized of the effects which... would be produced by them, that a confide-... rable schism is well known to have taken... place between the adherents of Muhlenberg... and M c Kean, and it was only by the obli-... gate refusal of the vain old man to withdraw... his pretensions that he was finally fixed on... as the “Republican” candidate.
The committee therefore need boast of no... great penetration in foreseeing that Mr. M c Kean would become an object of “se-... verity and reproach.” Indeed, what vir-... tuous man was ever yet so anxious to prepare... a defence before his accusation. Innocence... in its nature, is unsuspicious of calumny, and... fearless of all the suggestions of “envious... tempers and malevolent party men.”
The committee then proceeded to examine... a number of the charges alleged against their... favorite. In the enumeration made of them... many of those which are most important in... themselves, and most fully substantiated, are... craftily omitted; others are slightly touched... upon, and those which occupy the greatest... degree of attention, are such as are almost... indifferent in themselves; as have been but... faintly urged by any, and seldom even men-... tioned by men of the least influence or weight... among the Federalists. Thus, while great... pains are taken to contradict the story of his... Irish descent, of his Catholic faith, and of his... endeavors to procure an augmentation of his... salary; his intemperance, the violence of his... nature, his arbitrary conduct on the bench... the inconsistency of his political principles... and his agency in promoting the treasonable... embassy of Logan, are totally forgotten.
His enmity to the Federal Constitution is... denied, on the ground of his having advoca-... ted its adoption. Had he ever in the whole course of his... life discovered any one continued system of... thought and action, had he ever adhered to... any fixed principles of policy, longer than he... received the price of his services, by the gra-... tification of his pride and ambition; had he... not been at one time a violent constitutional-... ist, and soon after a furious Republican, once... as decided a friend to the system of our ad-... ministration as he is now its rancorous foe;... had he not in 1793 warmly supported Mr. Adams's election to the Vice Presidential... chair, extolling his public services, and jus-... tifying his political opinions, and had we not... seen him in the short space of four years be-... come his most determined and inveterate op-... ponent; then indeed having been one of the... most zealous supporters of the constitution... would be a fair argument to prove his present... attachment to it. But when it appears that... his political tergiversations have been so nu-... merous and so little to be accounted for by... any rational or honorable motive; when it... is evident that he has associated himself with... men who vigorously opposed the formation of... the constitution, who have since uniformly... endeavored to obstruct its operation, to im-... pair its energies, and to give it such a con-... struction as would speedily destroy its strength;... no surprise ought to be excited if the people... of Pennsylvania should be convinced, that... he is hostile to the pure palladium of their... rights, and the best security of their happi-... ness.
Mr. M c Kean's attachment to France is... palliated by declaring that he is friendly to... her only when her acts are beneficial to... America; while he asserts the right of self... government, or maintains the cause of repre-... sentative government; but whenever she
violates our neutral rights, or endeavours... in acts of plunder and aggression to be... been, is, and will be, unreservedly opposed... to her.” Has she not for years been violat-... ing our neutral rights in every quarter of the... globe, in which she has dared to appear? Does... she not yet persist in her schemes of... ambition, plunder, murder and devastation? And in what instance has Mr. M c Kean op-... posed her? What definitive act of our ad-... ministration has he befriended? How long... did he and his leaders, by appealing to the... weaknesses and inflaming the passions of... the people, tie up the hands of govern-... ment; espouse to every species of indignity... and outrage; afford no protection to our... commerce and remain careless of the clau-... dors of our tortured maritime citizens? Did... they consent to take any one measure for the... internal defence of the country? Did... they not at one time endeavor to terrify our... citizens into inaction, by painting in its most... terrific form, the hideous spectre of a French... invasion; by predicting that a general in-... surrection would be excited among the blacks... in the Southern States; and by affirming... that no force could be found in America, suf-... ficient to stem the torrent of misfortune like-... ly to overwhelm her? When they found that... fear could produce on the minds of... Americans only a small and temporary im-... pulse, did they not attempt to lull them in-... to a false security, by declaring that no at-... tack was in any event to be apprehended... even when menaces had not only been given... of partition and destruction; but when pre-... parations were actually making to ensure suc-... cess of the measure? And yet with a full know-... ledge of all these circumstances, does the... candid, the patriotic and disinterested exotic... Mr. Dallas, audaciously assert, that Mr. M c Kean has been opposed to France when-... ever she has violated our neutral rights.

ELECTION.
At a numerous and respectable meeting... of the citizens of Philadelphia and the Liberties... thereof, held at Dunwoody's in the city of... Philadelphia, on Tuesday the 15th inst., for... the purpose of fixing upon a suitable person... to fill the important office of Governor of... the state, the following resolutions were... unanimously adopted, viz.
Resolved, as the sense of this meeting... That it is essential to the honor and the... happiness of Pennsylvania, and highly impor-... tant to the best interests of the United States... that, at the ensuing election of Governor of... this commonwealth, the suffrages of our fellow... citizens should be given to a candidate who... combining the requisites of talents and in-... tegrity with temperance of character and... independence of connexion, will ably and... faithfully execute the trusts of that high... station, who conciliating the particular in-... terests of the state with the general interests... of the United States, will cordially cultivate... the necessary intercourse with the Federal... Government; and who, having never avow-... ed himself the partizan of foreign politics... will be at perfect liberty to pursue the ex-... clusive advantage of his own country.
Resolved, as the sense of this meeting... That JAMES ROSS, of Pittsburgh, unites... in an eminent degree, the requisites express-... ed in the preceding resolution, to fill the... high office of Governor of the commonwealth... of Pennsylvania; and that this meeting be-... ing justified in their opinion by the uniform... tenor of his private and public conduct, will... give him their best support at the ensuing... election.
And whereas certain persons, who are de-... sirous of imposing another candidate on the... citizens of Pennsylvania, far from imitating... the laudable example which had been given... by the friends of Mr. Ross, of carefully ab-... staining from all illiberality of opinion, have... attempted to aid their purpose by false and... indecent insinuations that their opponents... are influenced by unworthy motives, and as... science, under such censure, might be tor-... tured into a concession of its truth:
Resolved, as the sense of this meeting, that... the corresponding committee heretofore ap-... pointed, be instructed to prepare an address... to our fellow citizens throughout the state... on the subject of said election, wherein, if... they shall deem it necessary or useful to defeat... the projects of our antagonists, they shall be... at liberty freely to examine and discuss the... merits of the opposite candidate, and the pre-... tensions of those persons, who thus presume... to assign improper motives to the conduct... of others; and that, unawed by official char-... acter, or by any other consideration, the... individuals who compose this meeting will... aid the examination and discussion, if they... shall be resolved on, by supplying every ne-... cessary information, whether it shall tend to... expose the inability or defects of the oppo-... site candidate; or to illustrate and explain... the characters of those individuals who style... themselves his supporters, and who have... thus dared, under their signatures, to im-... peach the integrity of their opponents.
—And in adducing this information (Mr. M c Kean's services as a judge being much re-... lied on) it may be necessary to resort to the... remonstrances of Juries, and the representa-... tions of the Bar, to expose his judicial ty-... ranny and intolerance, or to the deliberate... declarations of political wits and opinions... which, if realized, would subvert the li-... berty, the religion, and the social order of... our country.
Or, in discussing the pretensions of those... men who have thus falselyigmatized their... opponents, it may be necessary to recur to... Proclamations which have proscribed some... of them as TRAITORS—to examine do-... cuments to have the most disgraceful allegations... against others—to enquire into the equivo-... cal circumstances which cloud the late com-
ing of others of them to America, who... like birds of ill omen, have made their ap-... pearance among us since the revolution, and... who now are to question the motives of... men who hazarded all that was dear to them... in establishing the Independence of Ameri-... ca. The Committee are requested, if they... are resolved to re-enact, to give to all... the facts which they may state, such solemn... sanctions will stamp conviction on the minds... of whoever may peruse them.
ROBERT WHARTON, Chairman.
After which, taking into consideration... the propriety of nominating a candidate for... the office of Senator of this state, for the... district composed of the city and county of... Philadelphia, and county of Delaware, it was... unanimously resolved,
That this meeting will support JOSEPH... BALL, Esq. at the ensuing election, as the... Senator for the said district.
Resolved, That a committee of three be... appointed to attend a meeting to be held in... the county of Philadelphia, and a commit-... tee of three to attend a meeting to be held... in the county of Delaware for the purpose... of representing to the said meetings the de-... termination of this meeting to support Jo-... seph Ball, Esq. as Senator, and to desire a... co-operation on their part, when
Mr. Levy Hollingsworth, Mr. Henry... Pratt, and John Halliwell, Esq. were ap-... pointed to attend the meeting in the county... of Philadelphia, and
Mr. John Wall, Mr. Jesse Sharpley, and... Michael Kepple, Esq. were appointed to... attend the meeting in the county of Dela-... ware.

GENERAL GREENE FRIGATE.
The return of this vessel into port, it ap-... pears, was occasioned by the following cir-... cumstances—The commander had ordered a... survey to be made; in compliance with this... order the officers on the 2d July at sea, re-... ported they had made a survey and found... the ship in a very leaky situation. On the... 18th July, at sea, they reported to the cap-... tain, that in their opinion, the yellow fever... which had made its appearance on board... originated from a species of slate used as... ballast (which by becoming wet produced a... disagreeable smell) from stagnant water... and from some provisions which were dama-... ged in a gale of wind. Their reasons for... thinking so were, that those most adjacent... to the pumps, or who had business in the... hold were first seized. These opinions coin-... cided with those of the surgeon who added... that every precaution had been taken by the... officers which the invention of man could... contrive to render the ship healthy, but with-... out effect, it had disseminated itself through... every part of the ship, and gave it as his... opinion that it would not cease till the ball-... last was taken out. In consequence of these... representations she returned to Newport... R. Island where she now lays.

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 Gen- tlemen 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 amuse- ment 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 advan- tage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle , which is prefixed to it, and which must be ex- tremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Ameri- cans 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. Som- erville, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston.
Copies will be sent to Nyghon and other places, as soon as editions offer.] may 28

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES,
NOW RUNNING BETWEEN
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By the short and pleasant road of
Bufileton, Newtown, Scotch-Plains, Spring-
field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, which passes through the country through which it pas- ses, 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 Thor- ough-Fare from Philadelphia to New-York.
During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken, and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained. There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required at the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is among the least of its advantages, because daily expe- rience proves to us, that dispatch as well as com- fort 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 prevents 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 con- siderable proportion of shade, must always ren- der travelling in the latter season peculiarly a- greeable.
The Swift Sure starts from PHILADEL- PHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth street. It goes through Frankford to Bufileton, where it stops to Breakfast; from Bufileton it goes through Newtown to Penny-town to dinner; from Penny-town through Hopewell, Millstone, Bound-brook, 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. Mathew, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtland, 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 them- selves to make good every package on the fol- lowing 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 pack- age, 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 pro- portion 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 respon- sible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insur- ance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and ta- verns 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 com- mitted to the care of intelligent sober and ob- liging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the per- sons they employ is continually an object of their attention. They take care also
