Jacob, about 6 feet high, and about 32 years of age, of a common Negro complexion, down look, his little finger of his left hand stands straight, occasioned by the cut of a knife. Pat, the wife of said Jacob, about 27 years of age, a small light made woman of a yellow complexion, with thick lips for an American of her stature, she is a very good needle woman, and spins on either small or great wheel, and is very handy in any common house work. —Two children of the said Jacob and Pat, the one a male child about four years old, the other a female child about two years old. The above described Negroes took with them, besides their own wearing apparel, three coats, two of which were lined with a light grey color, both new; one of the two was a great deal too large for either of the said fellows; the other coat of brown cloth, half worn; three under jackets, one a velvet, another a drab, the other a light colored linsy cloth do, one new pair of Calf skin shoes, lined with linnen and bound with leather, one pair of boots remarkably large in the legs, several pairs of stockings and a silver watch, all stolen; their own wearing apparel as follows:—William had on a light-horse regimental coat worked with silver twill, (which coat he had when he was brought home to me the first of February last, a round foil jacket (blue), thickset breeches, patched with corduroy in the stride, with other necessary clothing.

PROPOSALS, BY THE Insurance Company of North America.
FOR INSURANCE against Fire, on Dwelling-Houses, Ware-Houses, and other Buildings (and on Goods contained in such Buildings) distant from Philadelphia, in the United States.
1. Common Insurance, on hazards of the first class, will be undertaken at a premium of about half per cent. per annum. For extra hazardous risks a larger premium will be required, which will vary according to circumstances, seldom exceeding one per cent. per annum; but in some instances, where the property insured is not only in itself extra hazardous, but rendered still more so by the vicinity of extra hazardous buildings and occupations, the premium demanded will be raised according to circumstances.
Houses and Ware-Houses, the walls and partitions of which are wholly of stone or brick, well constructed, so as to be guarded as well as may be against fires from within, and free from extra hazardous buildings and occupations in their neighborhood, will be deemed hazardous of the first class, and may be insured to their full value.
Also Goods and Merchandise, not of an extra hazardous kind, in casks, bales, or packages, deposited in such buildings, to an amount not exceeding 500 dollars; but if more than this sum is required to be insured in one tenement, an additional premium will be required, in proportion to circumstances.
2. Insurance will also be made on buildings and goods, extra hazardous, at premiums proportioned to the risk. But it is not easy to arrange these under particular heads or classes, so as to describe each with the necessary accuracy. Each case must therefore be decided upon according to the circumstances attending it; and these circumstances will, in general, appear from the description accompanying the application.
Buildings partly constructed of brick or stone, are preferable to those wholly wooden. And in both cases, the state of building, how they are occupied, how they are situated, the neighboring buildings, and how occupied, are considerations to be taken into view. And with respect to goods, their tendency, whether from their nature, or from the manner in which they are exposed, either to commence or to increase an accidental fire, and their liability in such state to receive damage by wet, or by sudden and hostile removal, or to be frozen in time of confusion and hurry, are all circumstances of weight; and the premium must be proportioned accordingly.
3. The following condition are to be understood by the parties.
1st. The insurance is not binding till the stipulated premium be paid; but it shall be deemed effected from the time of such payment and acceptance thereof, whether the policy be immediately signed or not.
2d. Insurance may be renewed at the expiration of the term of the policy, without further expenses than the payment of the premium of the renewed term, the circumstances continuing the same as they were understood by the Insurers at the time the former insurance was made; but the payment of the premium is essential to such renewal; and if the party insured suffers any time to elapse after the expiration of the former insurance, before he pays a premium for the renewal, he is not insured during such time; nor can the insurance be renewed on the former policy by computing the commencement of the renewal from the expiration of the former insurance. The subject of insurance may nevertheless be open to treaty for a new insurance.
3d. If any other insurance be made on the same property; it must be made known at the time of application, otherwise the policy made on such application will be void.
4th. Goods held in trust, or on consignment, may be insured as such in a separate policy; but they are not to be considered as insured otherwise.
5th. This company will not be liable or accountable for any loss or damage occasioned by any foreign invasion, or by any military or usurped force, or by reason of any civil commotion; or occasioned by gunpowder, explosions or other thing of the like kind kept in the building, or amongst the property insured.
6th. Bills of Exchange, Bonds and other Securities, Title Deeds, Money, Bank and other promissory Notes, are not included in any insurance; nor are paintings, medals, jewels, gems, antique curiosities, or mirrors exceeding the value of twenty-five dollars each, to be considered as insured unless particularly mentioned and by special agreement.
7th. No insurance will be made for a shorter term than one year, nor for a longer term than seven years. Policies choosing to insure for seven years shall be allowed one year's premium by way of discount: One third of a years premium shall be abated in like manner on an insurance for three years.
8th. Losses sustained by fire on property insured, shall be paid in thirty days after due proof and liquidation thereof, without deduction.
9th. A description of the property to be insured will be expected with each application, to be made by a master carpenter and signed by him, as well as by the owner of the building or applicant for insurance, and attested before a Notary or principal Magistrate, who will certify his knowledge of the parties and their credibility.
With respect to Houses and other Buildings.
1st. The site and position; describing the street or road on or near which the building stands; its contiguity to water, and other circumstances relative to the extinguishment of fire in case of accident; and particularly whether any and what fire companies are established, and engines provided, in the place or neighbourhood.
2d. The materials of which it is built, whether of brick, stone or wood, and what part of each, as well as to the outside walls as inside or partition walls, and their respective height and thickness; the style of the roof and of what materials; how secured by battlements or party walls; what kind of access to the top of the house and to the chimneys; whether any and what electric rods; the number and kind of fire places; and the kind of deposit for ashes.
3d. The dimensions of the building and how divided, and the style in which it is finished so as to enable indifferent persons to judge in what manner it is to be repaired or rebuilt in case of injury; the age and condition of the building, and how occupied, whether merely as a dwelling house, or for any other, and for what purpose; also an estimate of the value of the house or building independent of the ground.
4th. The situation with respect to other buildings or back buildings, whether adjoining or not, comprehending at least one hundred feet each way; what kind of buildings are within that distance, how built, of what materials, and occupied or improved, whether as dwellings for private families or otherwise; whether any and what trade or manufacture is carried on, and particularly whether there be any extra hazardous articles used, or oil stuff deposited in the house, or within the distance aforesaid, and of what kind.
Respecting goods in Houses, Warehouses, &c.
1st. A general description of the building in which they are kept will be expected, similar in all respects, as to the danger from fire, with that required for Insurance on the buildings themselves.
2d. A description of the kinds and nature of the goods, whether in casks or other packages, or opened; and whether displayed in whole
pieces or in the usual form for retailing. And if the goods vary materially in kind, a general estimate of the value of each kind proposed to be insured; but in the last particular minuteness of description is not expected.
3. Articles of the following kinds are deemed extra-hazardous, though in various degrees, in whatever building they may be placed, viz. pitch, tar, turpentine, rosin, wax, tallow, oil, inflammable spirits, sulphur, hemp, flax, cotton, dry goods of an inflammable kind, opened—Glass, china ware or porcelain, especially unpacked; Looking glasses, jewelry; and all other articles more than commonly inflammable, or more than commonly liable to injury by sudden removal or by moisture, or particularly obnoxious to theft on an alarm of fire.
Letters post paid, directed to the Secretary of the Board of Directors, will be duly attended to. An order for Insurance accompanied by the means of paying the premium, will be immediately executed on the premium being paid. If the application contain an enquiry only, it will be answered.
By order of the Board, Ebenezer Hazard, sec'ry. Office of the Insurance Company of North America; Philad. Feb. 1, 1798. Feb 1

From the New York Gazette and General Advertiser.
The Anti-Revolutionist, No. 111.
To the Federalists of New York.
BRETHREN AND FRIENDS, I NOW hear it every where repeated, that you are exerting yourselves as becomes you. The meetings in your wards are frequent, numerous, and respectable; and your measures are taken with that prudence and firmness, which are the certain pledges of success. It needs but this—so on as you have begun, and you may triumph in the full anticipation of victory. I have often said, and I repeat, that your indolence and inattention, your want of concert and of firmness, have nursed among us the accursed spirit of faction, and nothing but the united and continual exertions of all good men, can now conquer it.
Would to heaven, fellow-citizens, that I were able to impress upon your minds, with due force, the powerful considerations which, at this time, so urgently require the exertion of your best and utmost efforts. This is not a petty contest for party preeminence. It involves consequences of the greatest moment to your government and country, and to every individual. It is still a question whether you are to be tributary to France. The activity—the wickedness—the audacity of her partisans—and the success that has attended their measures in every country which they have attacked in the same way—OUGHT TO INSPIRE IN YOUR MINDS A DEEP AND SALUTARY TERROR. It is still a question whether the government of your choice shall give way to a Directory composed of the citizens Gallatin, Jefferson, and Burr—Whether the Livingstons, the Genets, the Dallettes, and the Lyons, shall be commissaries of the Executive power, and receivers of the contributions. Whether the guillotine shall be made permanent at the Coffee-house. Whether French soldiers, with bayonets and swords, shall drive you like cattle to the elections—and whether you shall sink under a load of contribution mercilessly exacted by a foreign soldiery.
Fellow Citizens! There is no colouring nor fancy in this. The things I have alluded to, are simple facts, now existing in all countries, where the French rule. I here make the direct and unequivocal assertion, that the party in this country, which is headed by Jefferson, Gallatin, and the other French, by Burr, the Livingstons, and De Witt Clinton, are pursuing the same measures which have led those countries to ruin. If you wish for examples of this, I cite their efforts to elect men always zealously attached to the French cause, their efforts to benumb the government, and prevent the adoption of effectual measures for self-defence—the concert of opinion and measures which has always existed between the French government and their party here. The employment of French spies. The Democratic Societies. The existence and the outrages of United Irishmen. The correspondence of Talleyrand with Gabet, and the embassy of Logan from Jefferson to the Directory.
Fellow Citizens! I never think of the unceasing assiduity—the fell malice—the wickedness and the untamable malignity of this faction, without shivering for fear. All Jacobins are irremediable and incurable. You can make no peace nor truce with them. The war that they wage against virtue, laws, order, and especially against free governments, is a "WAR UNTO DEATH." They are never discouraged by a defeat—never abated by the detection of their falsehoods; for they
* In 1794, some of our Jacobins openly asserted, that the guillotine ought to be made permanent. When the French formed their new constitution, and while Washington was President, they as openly cried out for a Directory of THREE. The elections of last Germinal, were conducted in France under the direction of the military. A year since, the poor people of Holland were nearly stripped of the means of subsistence, and since that, several new contributions have been laid. Flanders pays double taxes, both as a conquered country, and as part of the Republic.
† Similar efforts were successfully used by their party in Holland and Switzerland.
‡ The infamous Edward Grimaldi, who left this country for a well-known crime, has since lived in the enjoyment of fortune, in France, and is said to be married to a niece of one of the Directors. Last summer he returned to this country under the pretence of "taking care of his new lands." Soon after his return, he took a journey to Livingston's, where I have reason to believe, he changed his horse and chair, and put on a dress, which in a great measure, amounted to a disguise. I will endeavor to investigate this fact further, and lay it before the public. It is certain, however, that he was seen in the address and equipage I allude to at Claverack, preaching sedition among ignorant people.
¶ In Washington county the people were taught to believe, that Mr. Jay had bought up all the quilts in England, and had set Mr. Jones to collect them for his private benefit. This story was boasted of as a skillful invention by Mr. Tifford of the Senate, a brother in law of chancellor Livingston. Citizen Kettler, on a late election, being sent into the country to disperse some hard bills, was met by a gentleman who remarked to him, that the falsehood of what he was dispersing, would soon be detected. No matter said the citizen, "it will have its effect." In Orange county the people were taught to believe that Mr. Jay had brought the lamp of truth from England in his pocket, and that they must bring their title deeds to N. York to be stamped or forfeit their farms. On the Mohawk river many of the people, finding that they have no farm duties to pay, lately believed, and perhaps still believe, that their opposition has forced Congress to repeal the law. I was told by one of the officers, that a man whose house-tax would amount to two or three dollars, was almost rendered desperate by being told, that he should have to pay 60. I have reason to believe that his informant was one of the Livingstons.
well know that new tales, of grief can inflame the popular mind, and new misrepresentations keep jealousy rankling. These people are ever active and vigilant. They take all their measures by concert, and never lose an advantage. They meet in secret and unrequited. They gather strength from falsehood, fraud and treachery. If the public odium overwhelm them in one form, they reappear in another—and if defeated in open combat, they may sink for a while, but they rise again like Antaeus, renewed and vigorous after every fall. Against such an enemy nothing can prevail but a union of honest men. Private interests and concerns must be neglected for the moment. All friends to the country must come forth—they must exert themselves personally and continually during the elections. There is too much reason to fear that if defeated now, your friends will despair of the cause, and the yoke of your enemies be rivetted on your necks.
The danger of disunion is one against which I with particularity to guard you. Men of independent sentiments are too apt, on account of private opinions or caprices to vary from the general ticket. This is of dangerous consequence. The public mind has been fairly taken on the Candidates, and as it cannot be expected that any one ticket should perfectly meet the wishes of every individual, small sacrifices of private preference must be made for the sake of the general object. In this crisis, every division respecting the merits of particular Federalists is like disputing about peace while your house is on fire. Let your exertions be united—all must act together and to one end, or your efforts will be lost—and you will be conquered and revolutionized. Your enemies grow impudent from your divisions and indolence—but when they great mass of our worthy and respectable citizens shall appear against them—LET ALL HONEST MEN UNITE IN A PHALANX—let them march together and attack the Demon of Revolution—their very look will confound the monster, and their onset will annihilate him.
There is, I am informed, a Frenchman in town of the name of Morgé or Morgue, who is the son of a man in the confidence of the directory, and who has no visible business in this country. He dresses in the American manner, and would not be suspected as a Frenchman from his apparel.
I know a Democrat who had lived at Edinburgh, and spoke familiarly of the French Spies that he knew, who had resided for years in Scotland. He gave me some particulars of the methods they took to avoid being detected, and to make their communications.
Men who despise all religion, and whose lives are in continued hostility to virtue, very naturally contemn its divine institutions. His consolatory, however to the real Christian to observe, that notwithstanding the repeated and arful attempts which have been made to propagate the principles of a ruinous infidelity, the advocates for the doctrines of revelation and truth, in our country, are still numerous and powerful; and especially, that those to whose wisdom is entrusted the superintendence of our public concerns are not ashamed to acknowledge the attributes of Deity, or to adore the goodness of Providence. By their high example they are leading the people to righteou-ness, without which a nation can never be truly exalted happy or prosperous.
A whole nation assembling in one day for the solemn exercises of devotion, is, to the benevolent mind, a spectacle far more magnificent and interesting than the proudest pageant which royal equipage affords. In the contemplation of such a scene, the mind is transfixed by the sublimity of the subject; and the soul, gladdened with the prospect, dissolves into pious ecstasy. Such a scene last Thursday was exhibited.
BALTIMORE, April 26.
A gentleman at Oporto, in a letter to his friend in this city, earnestly recommends it to our government to send two or three stout vessels of not less than 18 guns, to be stationed at Corunna, for the protection of our trade—one of them to be always in light of the harbor, the others constantly ranging the coast from thence to Vigo, as the former is the grand rendezvous for French privateers, the latter occasionally.
The scene of devotion which was yesterday exhibited by this city, is a convincing proof of the high respect which our citizens entertain for the chief magistrate of the union; and how essential they deem it at this time to assemble together, in the most devout manner to offer up prayers to the almighty ruler of nations, for unanimity and concord, for an increase of virtue and religion, and for the help of his powerful hand in defending our lives, liberty and property against the machinations and violence of an abandoned nation of Atheists and plunderers.

Ere long perhaps, to this astonished isle, Fresh from the shores of subjugated Nile, Shall Buonaparte's victor fleet protect The genuine Theo-Philanthropic sect— The sect of Marat, Mirabeau, Voltaire, Led by their pontiff, good La Revelliere. Rejoic'd our clubs shall greet him, and instat The holy lunch-back in thy dome, St. Paul, While countess votaries thronging in his train Wave their red caps, and hymn this jocund strain: "Couriers and Stars, sedition's evening host, "Thou Morning Chronicle and Morning Post, "Whether you make the Rights of Man your theme, "Your country's libel, and your God blaspheme, "Or sit on private worth and virtue's throne, "Still, blasphemous or blackguard, praise Lepaux!

"Give praise to his name with tongue and pen! "Thalwell, and ye that lecture as ye go, "And for your pains get pelted, praise Lepaux! "Praise him each Jacobin, of fool, or knave, "And your cropp'd heads in sign of worship wave! "All creeping creatures, venomous and low, "Paine, Williams, Godwin, Bercourt—praise Lepaux! "And in a Leviathan! on ocean's brim "Hugell of living things that creep and swim: "Thou in whose sight the giant hand "The hook was fix'd, the monster's hand, "With Tierney, Fox, and Brougham, and Brougham, "And Whitebread wallowing in the guilty main, "Still as you snort, and puff, and spout, and blow, "In puffing, and in spouting, praise Lepaux!

True, thou art rich, art powerful—thou' the idle Industrious skill, contented labour, smile— Far less are studded with thy countess falls— What wind but wastes them, and what shore but hails? True, thou art brave—throughout thy busy land In patriot ranks embattled myriads stand! Thy foes behold with impotent amazement, And drop the lifted weapon as they gaze. But what avails to guard each outward part, If subtle poison, circling at her heart, Spite of thy courage, of thy pow'r, and wealth, Mine the found fabric of thy vital health? So thine own oak, by some fair streamlet's side Waves its broad arms, and spreads its leafy pride, Shades the green earth, and tow'ring to the sky, In conscious strength, the tempest's wrath defies. The fowler's snare in its ample branches share, To its cool shade the panting herds repair; The limpid current works its noiseless way; The flies loiter, and the roots decay. Prostrate the mighty ruin lies; and all That shared its shelter, perish in its fall. O thou, lamented sage, whose present scan Laid bare foul anarchy's gigantic plan; Prompt to incredulous men to disclose The guilt of France, and Europe's world of woes; Thou, on whose name far distant times shall gaze, The mighty sea-mark of those troubled days, O large of soul, of genius unconfined, Born to delight, instruct, and mend mankind; Burke! in whose breast a Roman ardor glow'd, Whose copious tongue with Grecian riches flow'd Well hast thou found (if such thy country's doom) A timely refuge in the shelving tomb. As in far realms beneath the cypress shade, Where eastern kings in pomp of death are laid, The perfume's lamp with unextinguish'd light Flashes thro' the vault, and cheers the gloom of night; So mighty Burke! in thy sepulchral urn To fancy's view the lamp of truth shall burn. Thither late times shall turn their rev'rent eyes, Led by thy light, and by thy wisdom wise.
