PHILADELPHIA,
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28.
TO THE FREEMEN OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Friends and Fellow Citizens,
WHEN a numerous meeting of our most respectable fellow citizens assigned to us the duty of endeavoring, as a committee, to promote the election of James Ross, it was far from being the wish of any, or the expectation of most, of our number, to become involved in the unpleasant task of commenting on the conduct of the opposite candidate, or that of his advocates.
An artful insinuation will frequently produce more pernicious effects, in the minds of the unwary, than a direct charge, while those by whom it has been made, may consider its ambiguity a sufficient shelter to their characters, from any imputation of inaccuracy and falsehood.
The meetings opposed to Mr. M'Kean, are charged with having assumed to themselves, the exclusive right of thinking and acting in the politics of our country, and pronouncing as traitors to all the citizens who differ from them in relation to public men or public measures;
The general unanimity manifested in favor of Mr. Ross by the grand juries in different parts of the State, as it affords the strongest evidence of the public sentiment, could not fail to excite the deepest chagrin in his opponents;
We submit to you the candor manifested in the general charge of intercepting, treating with insult, and destroying the letters of the committee who style themselves republicans, and substituting others teeming with sedition, disrespect and indecency;
"That acts of detraction, intrigue and falsehood have been assiduously practiced to expose the republican candidate to odium, and to bring the republican principle itself into discredit and contempt with the people," is another of the charges, doubtless intended to apply to some or all of the supporters of Mr. Ross, as the calumniators, intriguers, &c. and to Mr. M'Kean as the republican candidate.
The committee have taken some pains to exculpate their candidate from the charge of being a native of Ireland and a member of the catholic church.
try an opportunity to become citizens, and declares every person, otherwise qualified, equally eligible to office.
That Mr. M'Kean is a friend to France is a charge to which we cannot refuse our assent.
That Mr. M'Kean is friendly to France, that he defends and justifies most of her measures towards this country, and reprobates those of our own government, is too generally known to admit of controversy;
You cannot, Fellow Citizens, be ignorant, that they have made Liberty and Equality the pretences, whilst plunder and dominion have been their objects;
Although our country has withdrawn a little from the precipice towards which she was not long since rushing with wild and inconsiderate steps, and our government, supported by the rising spirit of the people, has opposed a more manly attitude to the insulting aggressions of an implacable foe,
We know nothing of the charge, that Mr. M'Kean is desirous of provoking a war with Great Britain.
In the Aurora of February 22, 1798, an opinion is published with the signature of
Thomas M'Kean, agreeing with that now maintained before the British Commissioners.
Mr. M'Kean's committee say, that he had been "charged with being a Disorganizer, a Jacobin;
The Mayor attempted to state the nature of their offence—the evidence of their having insulted the congregation at the Church,
Many of the supporters of Mr. M'Kean are men who profess their attachment to an equality of rights and their abhorrence of political distinctions founded on wealth or family;
The committee has thought proper to deny, in positive terms, Mr. M'Kean's having ever expressed a wish, "that twenty thousand United Irishmen would come over to the United States,
flood true liberty." To this we oppose the letter of Mr. Smith already recited, and the annexed certificate of Mr. Watts of Carlisle,
Several other charges have been stated and replied to by the committee, some of them probably unfounded and others of little importance if true;
Thus, fellow-citizens, we have considered the observations of the adverse committee in reply to the charges they suggest have been made against their candidate;
With respect to Mr. Ross it is almost superfluous to remind you of his just and uniform principle—his unexceptionable deportment and unquestionable qualifications.
Fellow Citizens? We have endeavoured to place before you the two Candidates as they appear to us upon our best knowledge and information.
Levi Hollingsworth. Samuel Morris. Robert Wharton. Benjamin R. Morgan. Henry Pratt. Michael Kepple. Zachariah Poulton, jun. Daniel Smith. John Hall. Lawrence Sechler.
Documents referred to in the preceding Address.
Certificate of Mr. Watts. I DO hereby Certify, That I heard Thomas M'Kean, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, declare, "That he wished Twenty Thousand United Irishmen would come into this Country, that they were a People who understood
true Liberty and the Rights of Man," which I am willing to attest upon oath, if it should be necessary.

N. B. A dozen affidavits can be procured to the above fact, if necessary.
The Letter from the Committee of Correspondence for the County of Washington which accompanied the Certificates alluded to in the preceding Address.
Washington, August 28, 1799.
SIR, THE committee in this county for promoting the election of Mr. Ross, have learnt where Mr. Ross is less known than here, currency is given by the enemies to his election,
To prevent the effect of this report, one of the committee in this town, where Mr. Ross lived more than ten years, and until about five years ago, applied to such elders and other persons, noted for their piety and regard for religion, as have known Mr. Ross during the whole of this time, and as easily could be applied to, and they clearly signed the enclosed certificate.
The presence of the Rev. John Smith, of Cannonsburgh, a learned and respectable Seceder minister, who, about three years ago, removed to this country from Octoraro, in Lancaster county, enabled us to procure his certificate also,
We could with as much ease have obtained as positive a denial of all the other malicious reports lately propagated against Mr. Ross, and we do pledge ourselves that they are false.
Least, therefore, this aspersion should mislead good people, unacquainted with Mr. Ross, the committee here request that you will publish, if you think proper, these documents in the newspapers or in hand bills, as you think best, and in such manner as you think most fit.
A. ADDISON,
Chairman of the committee of Washington co.
Washington. (P.) Aug. 26th 1799.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
WE the subscribers, regular members of sundry Presbyterian congregations in the county of Washington, have heard with surprise and regret, that among the many slanderous reports propagated against the respectable character of James Ross, Esq. of Pittsburgh, who has been proposed to be chosen governor of Pennsylvania, one is that he is a D r ist.
We trust that we have a sincere regard to truth and religion, and we feel ourselves bound by the duties we owe to both, so far as our testimony can go to remove from our fellow citizens, this obnoxious to the free exercise of our votes in favour of Mr. Ross.
Mr. Ross was born of respectable and pious parents, of the Presbyterian church in York county in this state, and received from them a religious education.

tion that he is an infidel or deist, and we think this imputation false and malicious. In witness whereof we have hereto set our hands.  A Sweeney } Elders of Washington Robert Stockton } Congregation. Joseph Wherry } John Cotton } Elders of Buffalo Congregation. James Brice } James Mitchell, Elder of Peters Congrega- John Mercer } Elders of Chartiers James Allison } Congregation. Craig Richie Alexander Cunningham.
Since I lived in Washington county, I have had opportunity of conversing and being well acquainted with James Ross, Esq. of Pittsburgh, and of knowing his character from serious and respectable persons well acquainted with his opinions and conversation, and I am well persuaded that he is sincerely respectful of the Christian Protestant Religion, and do verily believe that the report of his being an infidel or deist is altogether without foundation.
JOHN SMITH, Minister of Associated Congregation Chartiers.  Our lot has been cast in an era fertile in the production of great events; and if not in an age of wonders, we certainly live in an age of thick darkness has preceded the dawn. The world is now waking from a deep sleep; and it is the Orient Sun that beams upon her. The watchful, who first arose, found an "Everlasting Gospel" preparing for them. Their labour, in austerer the tea-brown veil, and the loud clangor of their arms, awoke in succession those around them, to face a common danger. How many, alas! awoke too late! Woe last to those who yet sleep!
It is supposed to be the ancient and splendid Ptolemais, after sleeping in obscurity for many centuries, emerges at the end of the eighteenth, in a resistance to the destroying arms of an Infidel marauder, equally resolute with that offered to the arms of the Christian Prince, Richard Coeur de Lion. How singular are the variations in the fortunes of cities and of empires.
Sieyes, having contrived to keep himself at the bottom of the late fermentation, is supposed to have brought with him to Paris the means of creating it. If this suspicion be just, he will have acted, in the fraternal ways which he gave his brethren, the part of the celebrated image of old, which, fair to the eye, concealed in its embrace the instruments of destruction.
The fate of the apostate Talleyrand, is a striking type of the signal vengeance which awaits those wretches who dare to prophanize the vestments of sanctity and the temples of the Most High, by adhering to the blasphemous tenets of Jacobinism. This unholy Priest, joined a vile herd of levellers in laying the foundations of the Monarchy. His associates presently advance to the acme of their plots, and the timid priest, doubting their adequacy to the task they had undertaken, retires in some measure from their cabals, and withhold his co-operation. His Royal Master is shortly afterwards murdered, and the priest, outlawed, flies to England, where, and afterwards in America, he assumes the character of a distressed Royalist. Finding his old associates, in the further progress of the Revolution, still at the top of the hill, he recommends himself to them by his services as a spy—returns, receives the fraternal hug, and is made minister-of-state. Here by bribes and largesses extorted from the feeble objects of Gallic oppression, he has accumulated to great a mass of wealth, as to become a fit carcase for the Revolutionary crows to peck at. He has already been hustled from his seat, and it is probable we shall soon hear that the sovereign people have cut his throat, with as little remorse as they would strangle a cat, or wring the neck of a magpie.
On the 17th inst. his Excellency WILLIAM R. DAVENPORT, Governor of North Carolina, left Raleigh, on his way to this city, "to take on him the important duties of his mission to France."
Previous to his departure, the inhabitants of Raleigh and its neighbourhood, caused him to be presented with a respectful and affectionate address, to which he returned a polite and cordial answer.
We announce with sincere regret, the death of that truly valuable and universally esteemed citizen, CLEMENT C. BROWN, Esq. Deputy Collector of the port of Philadelphia, after an illness of fourteen days, during which the anxiety of his numerous friends and connections, were alternately flattered by hope and depressed by fear, in consequence of the frequent variations of his disease. This mournful event took place about 3 o'clock yesterday morning.
In the character of this gentleman, it was the felicity of his acquaintances to observe the predominance of an invariable principle of honor and integrity—the most scrupulous regard to moral rectitude, and a faithful devotion to the discharge of every public and private duty. In the exercise of his official functions, as deputy collector of the port, his conduct was admired for politeness, regularity, and an inflexible adherence to the principles and laws of the institution. In his domestic intercourse with society, he was equally distinguished for the urbanity of his manners, the placidity of his temper, and the uprightness of his dealings. In every relation of human life, as a husband, a father, and a friend, he conspicuously evinced an union of those amiable qualities which justly entitle to the appellation of A GOOD MAN; and which, doubtless, made him depart from this world "in peace with God."
SAVANNAH, September 10.  The Providence privateers that took Amelia Island on the 21st ult. burnt the Galley belonging to the Spaniards on the 28th, opposite the Tygers.
Extract of a letter from Capt. William Malcolm, late Master of the ship Carolina, dated Paimpole, 10th May, 1799.
"Before you receive this you must be acquainted with my capture on the 25th February, five weeks out, the Start Point distant four leagues. I was attacked by the French lugger privateer the Courageux, with six guns and fifty men, when after an action of two hours he boarded and carried me with thirty men; having but a slender force to oppose with, which was weakened by two of my men being severely wounded in the early part of the engagement. I defended the property as long as there was a possibility of resisting, and now acquaint you I am detained here, as a prisoner of war, and can form no idea when I shall be released; my people have been marched about 200 miles into the country. On writing to the Consul General at Paris he promises to demand my release, and if refused, to solicit my absence on parole."
RALEIGH, (N. C.) September 17.
We learn that the Yellow Fever is in Newbern—a person died from that place informs us, that on Tuesday and Wednesday last, inclusive, 16 persons died—Mrs. Craddock has lost during last week, the whole of her children, one number. The inhabitants are flying in every direction. We hear also, that the fame distaste is raging violently in Washington.

After the Imperial troops had defeated Gen. Moreau, made 1000 prisoners, with six French Generals, they left some thousands killed and wounded on the field of battle, and entered Genoa.
BANKS OF THE WESEL, July 4.
At the instance of the Court of Russia, all the commercial houses in the cities of Hamburg and Bremen, will be required to declare upon oath, what sums they have in their name in the British funds, distinguished precisely which is their own, and which French property; the latter will be confiscated.

The New corps of Austrian troops, now passing through Tyrol, to join the army in Italy, is about 25,000 men strong.
Field M. Suwarow is said to have received orders not to penetrate into France, till after the fall of Mantua. The Em. of Germany has purchased for him a fine estate in West Galicia near the Russian frontiers, for 50,000 ducats and another for General Kray, worth 75,000 ducats.
MAYENCE, July 10.
The Crowns of the Department of the Maine and Loire have spread themselves to the number of four hundred over that of Mayence. The Chiefs are assembled to the number of forty, and must pass through the cidevant Beauce, where the superior Chiefs continue; they publish that they are going to Lyons, where a great blow is to be struck.
GENOA, July 15.
According to letters from the extremity of Italy, there can be no doubt but that Naples is in the possession of Cardinal Ruffo's army.
STRASBURGH, July 24.
It is confidently stated that Gen. Moreau will arrive here the 2d August. Accounts from Stuttgart and Zurich, furnish us with the following details respecting the armies: "Gen. Suwarow's head quarters are before Tortona and Alessandria, on the Bormida, and the left wing reaches beyond Bobbio. The vanguard is at Novi, and in the valley of Orba. The strength of the army amounts to 60,000 men, and consists of the Austrian division of Vukassovich, Froelich, Zopf, Bellegarde, and Kaim, and the Russian troops, under the command of Pankrazion and Rotenberg. The corps of General Ott has advanced from the country of Modena into Tuscany, which has been evacuated by Macdonald. There is still a French garrison at Leghorn."
PARIS, July 23.

The widow of Roberjot has denied, under her own signature, in the Redacteur, that ever the said Debray was privy to the assassination at Rastadt; or that the French government were parties to the atrocious act. She speaks in terms of respect and affection of Debray. The imputation was thrown out by the Jacobin paper, the Journal des Hommes Libres, with the design of calumniating the late Directory. Quinette, Minister of the Interior, officially orders Madame Roberjot's letter to be published.
July 26.
The act of accusation preferred against Merlin, Rewbell, Reveillere, and Treilhard, in the Council of Five Hundred, has been signed by Ruehe, Antient, Diplomatic Agent, and by Carlier and Trehan, citizens of Paris. They are arraigned of Treason and Conspiracy against the domestic and foreign safety of the Republic.
It has been reported for several days past, that Mantua has capitulated, and that the city of Genoa is taken. The report is without any foundation.

Five chiefs of the Chouans, were lately guillotined at Rennes.
We hear from Liege, that twenty-three thousand guns of the fabric of that place are ready for the armies of the Rhine and Moselle. It is pretended that the Secret Expedition which has been for a long time preparing at London, is intended to second a great interior movement. Is not the invisible hand, of which so much is affected to be spoken, the VERY VISIBLE HAND, armed with claws of iron, of the Minister who reigns in London, that Father of La Vendee, which was the mother of the system of Terror? Is it then believed that his English Directory and all his agents can lull us to sleep? They are grossly deceived, and the event will prove them so.
Le Bordelais privateer of Bourdeaux, has taken eight prizes, which will not liberate from us any of our friends of the Neutral Powers. They are all good English prizes. She has made 369 prisoners, besides 80 passengers.

It is reported that Niou, commissary at London for the exchange of prisoners, enraged at the abusive language used by Pitt against the French nation the 12th of July, challenged him, and proposed a meeting in St. James's Park. Wk are particularly acquainted with Niou. He is as gallant a man as he is a good patriot, but we cannot
believe that he could read such abusive language with any other feeling than that of profound contempt.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY.
Decree of the 20th July.
The Executive Directory to Citizen Talleyrand, minister for foreign relations.
"The Executive Directory, citizen minister, have received your resignation, communicated to the 13th July. In compliance with the fresh entreaties you have made, they have accepted it, and appointed in your stead citizen Rheinhard, minister plenipotentiary to the Helvetic republic. The Executive Directory consider an act of justice, to testify in your favour on this occasion, that they have been perfectly satisfied with the unremitting zeal, civism, and information which you have displayed, as well in the functions of your ministry, as in those of the marine, for a time confided to you. The Executive Directory invite you, nevertheless, to continue to discharge the office of foreign affairs, until the arrival of your successor. They have not the least doubt but that your zeal in it will remain undiminished."
LONDON, August 3.
This morning lieutenant Truscott, of the Louisa, from Gibraltar, arrived at the admiralty with dispatches from general O'Hara and lord St. Vincent. No engagement had taken place between the fleets. The enemy was blocked up in Cadiz by lord Keith.
Star.
Lieutenant Truscott, of the Louisa gunbrig, had arrived at the admiralty this morning from Gibraltar, with dispatches from Earl St. Vincent announcing that the combined fleets had entered Cadiz, from whence they had not failed on the 20th. On that day Lord Keith was expected to pass the Gut with thirty-three sail of the line, and would immediately proceed to the blockade of Cadiz.
Courier.
This morning an officer arrived at the admiralty with dispatches from Earl St. Vincent at Gibraltar. They state, we understand, that the combined French and Spanish fleets were blocked up in Cadiz harbour by the British force. A disagreement had taken place between the Spaniards and the French, owing to the former having refused to admit the latter into the inner harbour. We are not at present able to state more particulars.
Sun.
The passengers by the King George Packet from Lisbon state, that the French and Spanish fleets, before getting into Cadiz, had a very narrow escape of being lost, having got into Tetuan Bay, where there is a very strong current, and it having fallen calm, they were just on the eve of being on shore, when they let go their anchors. They continued firing signal guns for some time, which are supposed to be those heard by the Haerlem.
Immediately on the arrival of the fleets at Cadiz, it is added, that the French admiral Bruix was suspended, by an order from the new directory.
Other accounts state, that it was only the Spanish division that got into Cadiz; the French having proceeded towards the Bay of Biscay; but this is not probable.
Letters from the Mediterranean state, that the 8th regiment of foot landed, to reinforce the garrison of Minorca, on the 6th of June, which made the British force on duty there amount to 6000 effective men; and that several new and commodious works had been erected, for the further defence of that important island. Majorca was in so distressed a state for want of provisions, that unless succours speedily arrived, a famine was generally dreaded.
In addition to the intelligence brought by the Paris papers, a letter has been this day received by a mercantile house in this town, from Venice, stating, that the king of Naples made his re-entrance into his capital on the 20th of June; and that the citadels of Allefandria and Paglia have since surrendered to the Austro-Russians. Mantua, it is said, must soon also surrender, having but little provision, and no hopes of relief.
The Vienna news paper lays, that two Spanish messengers have arrived from Paris, with propositions of peace. It is certain that the Spanish legation at Vienna has laboured for a long time to distract the Imperial court by negotiations. The Emperor Paul long since solicited his ally to disencumber himself of these diplomatic spies, who are under the direction of the Chevalier D'Azara, a man notorious for revolutionary principles.
It has lately been reported at Paris, that the envoy of a neutral power had made proposals of peace to the British ministry, which the public were not without hopes would be attended to; Sieyes being supposed friend to the measure.
A Paris paper says, "Only three or four of our Generals remain with the army of Naples, all the rest being either killed or wounded."
Dispatches, giving an account of the defeat of Tippoo Sultan, sent by Mr. Fawcett from Bombay, were yesterday read in the Court of Directors of the East India Company. The action took place at the entrance of the Ghautts, on the 6th of March, and the victory was brilliant and complete. It was attended with great loss in the field to the perfidious Prince who provoked our arms, and in its consequences may involve his fall from a Throne which he has held, since the peace of Seringapatam, by the forbearance and generosity of Great Britain.
The preparations that the restless Tippoo had been making for war, the correspondence which had been detected between him and the French, determined the British Government to demand explicit explanations of his views, and to force him to dismiss from his service the French whom he entertained only with the view of hostility against the company. Our readers have heard of the steps which were taken by the Earl of Mornington to bring him to a categorical answer. Two armies were directed to march, one from Madras and the other from Bombay; of which General Stuart was the commander in chief. The result we can only state from the document which has been received by a commercial house only but which is most satisfactory.
AUGUST 4.
Official accounts have been received at the E. I. House of the complete defeat of Tippoo, and of his having been forced to retreat to Seringapatam, with great loss. It was in consequence of the Bombay and Madras armies having marched with a view to effect a junction at a given point, that Tippoo induced by the hope of defeating one of those armies before it could join the other attacked the Bombay army. So complete was the overthrow of the Tippoo, that it is supposed the East India Company will dethrone him, and replace the King of the Mysore on his Throne.
Paris papers to the 30th ult reaching town yesterday evening. They confirm the accounts of the capture of Naples, and of Tuscany, excepting Leghorn, where the French had left a small garrison. General Macdonald has escaped to Genoa, with the loss of his baggage, which was captured by the English.
The Head-Quarters of General Suwarow are stated to be between Torna and Alessandria, and his army is said to consist of 60,000 men. One division of it, under General Ott, has advanced from the country of Modena and Tuscany.
These papers bring no account of any important Military event. Massena, notwithstanding the superiority which the French papers attribute to him, remains wholly inactive. The internal situation of France, appears to become highly interesting, from the predominance of Jacobinism, which now seems to be the ruling faction. From the proceedings of the councils, it will be seen that anarchy is no longer spoken of with horror, and that the Republicans are to discontinue fearing hatred to it. Large bodies of troops are marching from distant parts towards Paris, and every preparation is made by the Jacobins to support the authority which they have obtained.
Embargo on Swedish vessels in France.
Translation of a letter from E. Signeul, his Swedish Majesty's Consul General at Paris, to Claes Crill, Consul General in London, dated the 5th July.
"I hasten to advise you, that the Directory have decreed an embargo to be laid on all Swedish ships who at present are, or may hereafter arrive, in the ports of France. I hope you will make such use of this advice as you shall think most proper for the interest of our commerce."

AT a meeting of the visitors and governors of St. John's college in the State of Maryland on the 13th day of July 1799.
Resolved, That on the first day of October next, this board will proceed to elect a Professor of English and Grammar, who shall receive, for his services, at the rate of £200 per annum, to be paid quarterly; and that public notice thereof be given, &c. &c.
Test. A. C. HANSON.
N.B. The office aforesaid hath just become vacant, by the resignation of a gentleman, whose affairs require, the immediate undertaking of a voyage by sea.
It is the duty of the said Professor (to whom is allowed an assistant) to teach the English language grammatically, and to prepare students for a superior school, by teaching them the Latin grammar the Vocabulary, and Cordery. Writing is to be taught to all his scholars at stated hours; and to those students who are not destined for the superior school, are to be taught, at the discretion of their parents, or guardians, Arithmetic, and other branches of science usually taught in English schools. A complete knowledge of the Latin language, &c. is considered indispensable in the professor; and it is expected, that candidates who are not known to the Board, will submit to an examination, as well as produce satisfactory testimonials of their good morals, and fair characters.
The Printers within the United States are requested to insert in their papers the foregoing resolution and remarks, and to repeat the publication, as often as convenience will admit, until the 24th day of September next. july 22 1awt340
To the Holders of MILITARY LAND WARRANTS.
THE Subscriber having lately returned from viewing the land, surveyed and appropriated to satisfy the land warrants, issued by the Secretary at war, to the officers and soldiers of the late continental army; and having made arrangements with Mr. James Jokulson, of Chester county, Pennsylvania, who he left on the land; and who with the assistance of an intelligent inhabitant of that county, will spend five months in exploring the different sections. He will take regular notes, descriptive of the soil, situation, and natural advantages attached to each section in the whole survey—which notes will be placed in the hands of the subscriber previous to the period for locating, thereby enabling him to make the most advantageous locations the priority will admit. He offers his service to the holders of land warrants of the above description, throughout the United States, to receive their warrants, class them, (as no less quantity than 4000 acres will be registered at the office of the treasury) have them registered agreeable to law, and attend to make the location at the time appointed in February next.
For transacting the business, one tenth part of the land specified in the warrants will be required, and no other charge, except the postage of letters. All warrants forwarded and letters addressed to the subscriber, at No. 3, Penn-street, Philadelphia, will receive immediate attention. JAMES B. SMITH. September 2. mwtf.

THE BAVIAD AND MAEVAD.
By WILLIAM GIFFORD, ESQUIRE. To which is prefixed, A POETICAL EPISTLE TO THE AUTHOR By an American Gentleman.
[In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit; and to the taste of those for whom 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 note, the minor productions of the author; and it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations. Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Sam.ewille, Maiden Lane, New-York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Bosten and other places, as soon as occasions offer.] may 28
TERMS
Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, is CANNING
The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public.
TERMS.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo.
Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered.
Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries.
The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars. whole bound; but, as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers.
Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work.
Payments to be made on delivery of each volume.
Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys everything, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost incalculable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation.
** The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired:

"That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasion to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he hath obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom, render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, to that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of the work for themselves."

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES,
NOW RUNNING BETWEEN
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By the short and pleasant road of
Burlington, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Springfield and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populousness of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grass Thorough-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 amongst the less of its advantages, because daily experience proves to us, that dispatch as well as comfort in travelling principally depend on the good state of the road and the levelness of the same, and in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It presents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstance, added to the beauty of the country, and a considerable proportion of shade, must always render travelling in the latter season peculiarly agreeable.
The Swift-Sure starts from PHILADELPHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth Street. It goes through Frankford to Burlington, where it stops to breakfast; from Burlington it goes through Newtown to Pennypack-town to dinner; from Pennypack-town through Hopewell, Millstone, Boundbrook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it stops at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New-York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York, application may be made to Edward Bardin, Old Coffee house, to A. 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 themselves to make good every package on the following conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office shall see it entered in the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then state the value of the package, and pay (exclusive of the carriage) one per cent. on the value, as insurance, and for which he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance, if he estimates his package at one dollar, he will pay one cent. and if at one hundred dollars, he will pay one dollar insurance, and in like proportion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike his regulation; it will however, be optional with every one to avail himself of this security or not. But the proprietors think it right to state very explicitly, that they will be responsible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insurance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and taverns as always afford a good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The stages are well equipped furnished with fleet and steady horses, and committed to the care of intelligent sober and obliging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages
