COMMUNICATION.
BEFORE we discontinue these discussions, it may be worth the while to take a steady view and last leave of France. "Wonderful people!" the immortal and sagacious Washington liled them when Adet presented half a dozen yards of silk to the United States—and as the best of men might say of Barrington and Jonathan Wild the great. Indeed the human mind has wondered at them till it has become callous from repeated blows. We no longer estimate affairs as formerly; but in the reflux of this tremendous inundation we are no less concerned than in its former stages, and soon perhaps may indulge a less anxious and distressing curiosity.
It seems to have been for some reason or other a very favorite design of France to implicate the United States in the present war in such a manner as to render the stop we should take wholly it retrievable. It is now quite evident from undoubted documents that in the interference of that nation in the late war, she was moved, as was very natural, by no other hope than that of subjecting us to herself instead of England. She was against our independence for the very good reason that she could make us more injurious to England while colonies, and capable of being excited to rebel, than she could be certain of if we were allowed to shake off the English yoke. But when it was found that there would be no peace without our absolute detachment from Great Britain, then France took special care to plant the vine of gratitude in this country for future use. What and all that astonishes us is that the policy of the monarchy should be so steadily pursued by each and all the dynasties of the revolution. Evidently at all times we have had to encounter the policy of France in its full vigor; or if it be conceded for, it may be allowed that as a republic she has treated us differently—but infinitely worse. Perhaps the case is this, that we have seen nothing but the maxims of France displayed, but that the hurry and pressing occasions of the revolution have caused a more rapid development than was consistent with the original design. Unhappy nation! she has ruined herself, and her printing, spouting and vaporing republic has betrayed a secret which her future monarchy will never be able to retrieve.
When the simple dictates of private morality are no longer received, but the possession of mere brutal force has been sufficient in the mean and savage mind to surmount the obligation of restraint, let it be set down as an eternal truth written upon moral nature with the finger of God, that desolation, misery and remorse are bargained for and will be punctually delivered. Such is the certain tendency and effect of the dereliction of established principles, that though mankind may one and all suffer and even encourage the experiment, they will soon despise it. The state of society is incapable of perfection; or rather perhaps it should be said that this perfection is a well balanced government—but all pretended reformation by civil war are mere private quarrels which only exhaust the family, and end in the same thing or something worse. France cannot escape the decree of Heaven which has inscribed decay and death upon error and wickedness. She cannot resist the opinion of the world and her own distressful coinciding opinion. She will be detested no less for her profligacy than for injustice and cruelty. Her bestialness of moral intellect, and her detestable scepticism of all true principle must pass through a purgatory of long duration both of suffering and form. Or else, in lieu of all this, France must conquer the world.
The present is a war of religion, or a bloody promulgation of faith, as much as that of Mahomet was in the seventh century. In all new dispensations except the christian, the religion and the government have been, I think, one and the same. So in France, human reason is assumed to be the proper and sufficient guide of man, and this new creed is to be propagated as a religion by the sword. We shall see whether a principle tending to nothing less than the extermination of the whole human race will be received—if it should be France will have the consoling reflection of having reduced the world to barbarism, and of making the principal figure in it—but if not, these twenty centuries past have not seen so wretched a nation.
While the people of France were deceived in the nature of their revolution, and irresistibly impelled by the fanaticism of its early stages, it is not surprising on the one hand that the rest of the world should prepare for resistance, nor on the other that France should overwhelmingly think to subdue it. Her successes, so much admired, were really destitute of merit in every respect—but they were successes. In the outset of superstition it is immaterial whether Caled leads Arabians, or Pichegrue Frenchmen,—the former will derive from Mahomet the appellation of "sword of God," & the latter from the world (as France will have no God) that of "sword of the devil." "Believe or die," will be the terms of both, and miseries their blessings. But there is reason to think that the fickleness of Frenchmen has nearly rung its changes, for now nothing but despotism can oblige them to hold fast their liberty. Five daring characters at length compose their Executive, and all their late struggles appear to be only the pantings of a wretch unwilling to die.
Could they be willing to violate their constitution by every kind of arbitrary act, if they supposed the precedent would ever be quoted? Would they send to Egypt an army which they could pay?—Would they plunder without mercy the nations which they proposed to conciliate?
No! There is an evident consciousness that civil liberty, or (to return them their own phrases) equality is impracticable and that France can never be a democracy. The enterprise, after having done infinite mischief and no good whatever, is given up. Things have already finished their natural course and the catastrophe exhibits an imperious destitute army to which the Roman legions and Pretorian cohorts bear no analogy. The banditti of the cruades resemble it more; for they were terrible alike to friends and foes. Apparently such a thraldom cannot continue long; but in its nature it is more durable than the democracy which it has destroyed. The example of General Monk seems to be always in view of the Directory, who suffer no general to have a permanent command. But violence has long been necessary to obtain recruits, and the public mind is under coercion. Not only has enthusiasm ceased, but regret and aversion have succeeded.
In this predicament it can scarcely be concealed from the nation that their navy is totally ruined, and that their armies have at length been defeated. They are surrounded by a hatred so much the more bitter, as they have spread ruin wherever they bestowed liberty, and their friendships have always been farcical and ironical. All nations have seen the republican snare, and groaned within the fraternal embrace. There sleeps a horrible revenge. Brigades of women fought in Switzerland, and the matron and betrothed virgin fell alike beneath the republican sword and flying artillery. The age of chivalry is gone indeed if this shall be!—No! Turks grow Christians, and Russians assert refinement—against liberty! A Frenchman becomes a viper or a wolf which all mankind will kill. Insulted for many years by dastardly conquest and varnished corruption, suffering honour will give way to indignation, and anguish accelerate every blow. The father, son, and lover of murdered and violated thousands will be in the pursuing ranks, and bleeding religion will point to her destroyers.—Where then will be the needful support of Frenchmen? What will soften the panic which will seize the public mind? Will the licentious days of the revolution be remembered with delight and satisfaction? Will crimes cheer the soul, and vice fortify the heart? Will the loss of faith give confidence, and profligacy excite to virtuous deeds? What will patriotism have to fight for, or generous courage to defend? Where, then will patriotism and generous courage be found?—Despair! Horror of the blackest hue will follow, and vindicate the eternal and immutable relation of wickedness and misery!
From the WESTERN TELEGRAPHER. The approaching Anniversary of our Independence leads the mind to the contemplation of our national affairs and a comparative view of our situation at different periods. And as when danger approaches the object of our attachment and affection, the cords of affection are drawn closer, so from the menaces to which our country has been recently exposed, we will readily feel a more lively interest in the circumstance of her situation—I say recently, and whether it is owing to more constitutional fortitude or to what other cause; I confess I do not feel inclined to subscribe to the opinion, that every year manifests a diminution of our independence.
Although the Guardian Genius of America seemed for a while to have withheld her aid, and left her charge exposed to the corruption and violence of a Foreign Power; whilst within, we had but two much to apprehend from the unfortunate prejudices of our countrymen; yet she seems disposed to reinstate us upon the best basis of independence—public confidence. The present inclination of the public mind as manifested by the late general elections being the most unequivocal test of public opinion, affords a highly flattering evidence to the administration, that on their part, they have not neglected the duty incumbent on them of providing for the common safety.
Many experienced and intelligent characters hold the opinion that the ills of society will not long continue to persevere in erroneous conduct. And although in some degree, like individuals, influenced by private passions and prejudices, which subject them to temporary delusion, yet generally that their conduct will correspond with their information. A forcible illustration of this opinion may unhappily be found in the State of Kentucky—where information has flown through the most corrupt channels, where every act of Administration has been misrepresented and calumniated—where publications the most despicable for style and matter, have been extolled propagated and read—forgetting that a regard to liberty, tho' a laudable passion, ought commonly to be subordinate to a reverence to established government—they have contemned those maxims that are essential to the very existence of society.
It is a strange and unhappy situation in which the people have been placed, to be every day tortured with perplexed stories, and inflamed with hard suspicions of the Administration. Their conduct and demeanour prove them to have been led astray by the intrigues of party and prejudices, to be generally guided by a honest but indiscreet, and dangerous zeal, to countenance malcontents and encourage clamours which were not only without reason, but often for bad purposes raised against the administration—Such measures, when duly considered will shake and destroy all public confidence, diminish the respect and authority of those, to whom, we have delegated the administration of our Government.
Aid so paralyze their efforts, as to render our government and early peace to foreign intrigue or faction. Such an unhappy state of affairs, might indeed, confirm the opinion entertained by some that a republic is of theoretical existence.
These evils do not seem to be confined to Kentucky. Pennsylvania has experienced her full share of them. That intelligence conveyed through such channels and by such men, should have been attended to, is equally scandalous and deplorable. Men who [when fully known] have neither character sufficient to gain belief even for truth; nor, scarcely, sense to invent a credible falsehood. It is needless to enter into particulars, when the whole is so apparent. The state of the last federal elections however, lead to a consolatory presumption and belief that the time is fast approaching when the present delusion will be dissipated, when the force of truth and a strong sense of indignity and injury will zealously engage our citizens to enforce a just reparation to our injured honor.
Though governments too steady and uniform may not be the most free—yet the fluctuation and unsteadiness incident to lax systems, or administrations is always more dangerous to the freedom and security of the people; and notwithstanding the doctrine of non-resistance might not in every possible circumstance be absolutely true, yet the belief of it may be expedient; for the government which has a contrary principle for its basis, contains within itself the seeds of perpetual revolution and convulsions.
A happy medium system has been reserved for the people of America, of which we may safely affirm without any danger of exaggeration, if it is not the best system of government; it is at least the most rational system of liberty, that ever was known among mankind. Yet it cannot be too often repeated, or too deeply impressed upon the minds of us all; that jealousy and distrust are the bane of any government, but peculiarly of a republic. And that jealousy and distrust, as it may naturally lead to, so it will justly form an apology, for all the inconveniences of a too vigorous administration. Let us beware then how by our conduct or conversation, we withhold that respect and confidence which is so justly due, and necessary to the existence of our government; lest we add our State to the unhappy list, which have been buried impetuously by a fashious and indiscreet zeal, into an overthrow of their systems of government; on the ruins of which others have been established, less congenial with the principles of liberty, and less conducive to the interest and happiness of the people.

Proposes offering for Sale,
AT PUBLIC VENDUE,
On the premises, early in the next month,
ALL that valuable square of GROUND
lying on the East side of Jones's Falls
between the Quaker Meeting-House, and
the old Stone Play-House.
This elegant piece of Ground will be laid
off into Lots of about 30 feet front, and
150 feet deep, fronting on Market-street
extended, and on Pitt-street, and divided by an

feet runs from Market-street to Pitt-street,
between them and the meeting-house and

These lots lie very convenient to the centre
market, and are inferior to none in the
city of Baltimore, for healthfulness, of sit-
uation, purity and softness of water—and from
their central, high and healthy situation
between the town and Point, afford an eligi-
ble retreat for family residence, particularly
to those who occupy warehouses and stores,
either at Fell's-Point, or on the new im-
provements above and below Jones's Falls.
A plan of the whole is now making, and

office of Yates and Campbell, and a particular
day of sale made known as soon as possible.

stories high, three rooms on a floor, well appor-

Extract of a letter from a Merchant at Gibraltar to a Mercantile house in this city dated 21st May 1799.
"Mr. H. agent for the house of D. Stewart and Sons, of Baltimore, left Cadiz, three days ago, he has shown me a manifesto of the King of Spain, dated the 10th inst, prohibiting the entry of neutral vessels entering the ports of the Spanish colonies, also, prohibiting the importations of any Colonial produce into Spain, brought in foreign bottoms."
Yesterday morning at 6 o'clock, the New-York Riflemen formed at Trinity church, and marched to a field on Greenwich road, where they shot respectively for a Gold Prize Medal, which the corps had appropriated as a badge of merit, to be worn by the member who should make the best shot. The target was placed at the distance of 150 yards; there was much good firing; many of the balls were lodged within the first and second circle from the centre, a diameter of about 4 inches. The prize was won by corporal Julian Ludlow, who lodged his ball within an inch of the very centre of the bulls-eye; he was accordingly on parade vested by lieut. Armstrong, the commanding officer, with the honorable mark of distinction. We understand there are to be competitions quarterly for this medal; in October, January, April and July, at which times, should the possessor of the medal be excelled by any other of the corps, it will be transferred to him. We think this judicious plan will excite an emulation to excel which must render the Riflemen a very respectable corps.
By the M'Pheron, arrived here yesterday in 13 days from St. Kitts, we have been favored with the St. Christopher's Advertiser of June 25, 1799, from which we have copied the following articles:
BASSETERRE, June 25. By a vessel lately arrived at Port Royal, Martinique, which left Gibraltar the 23d of May, the following intelligence was received:
Sunday afternoon, May 5, a French fleet of 19 sail of the line, passed through the Gut from the Westward, blowing very hard from the South West, with rain and heavy squalls; so much were they favored by the thickness of the weather, that Lord Keith, who was cruising with 15 sail of the line off Cadiz, did not perceive them, or know of their being at sea, until the Success frigate (which had dogged them the whole way) informed him of it; on which his lordship anchored in Gibraltar bay. The second day after, Lord St. Vincent hoisted his flag on board the Ville de Paris, and sailed after them with a fair wind. On the 15th in the night, the Spanish fleet also passed through the Gut with 17 sail of the line. On Sunday the 28th, Admiral Withers, in the Queen Charlotte, arrived from England, with four sail of the line and three frigates. He left Adm. Gardner lying in Plymouth sound with ten sail of the line, ready to sail at a moment's notice for Gibraltar. Admiral Withers failed the next day from Gibraltar, to join Lord St. Vincent. The day after the Cormorant, Lord Kerr, arrived at Gibraltar from Minorca, and had spoke with Lord St. Vincent, off Cartagena, and brought word all was well. The Childers was dispatched to England. It was supposed that Adm. Gardner would have arrived at Gibraltar by the 23d May.
From the above account, Lords St. Vincent and Keith must have been between the two fleets. Being reinforced by Adm. Withers, the British fleet would be 22 sail of the line, which is superior to either; and when we recollect that the gallant Lord St. Vincent with 15 sail of the line, defeated the Spanish fleet, of 27 and captured four of them, we entertain fair hopes that he will not only be able to withstand the conjoint fleets of France and Spain, but that he will add more of them to the British navy.
His Majesty's ship Lapwing Capt Harvey, has captured an breadth in since our last, a Schooner under Swedish colours, from St. Bartholomews to Guadalupe, laden with beef, fish, &c. A Sch. under Swedish colours from do. to do. laden with dry goods, cordage, &c. A French Schooner (cargo we know not). A Spanish polacre, from Cadiz, laden with quick silver.

PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 15.
A democratic publican, on the Lancaster road, has posted over his fire-place a number of advertisements or horse, &c. In the centre of the crowd of hallions, bulls and jades, stand (very properly disposed) the general orders of Tench Coxe, James A. Dallas, &c. to the good people of this Commonwealth, to choose M'Kean governor. The candidate had had a mind to set forth old Dignity's excellent qualities as a Host to good effect, he should have had his mouth sweet face portrayed and put there.
A stronger evidence of sinister designs on the part of the advocates for M'Kean, than the activity of Tench Coxe in his behalf need not be sought for. The man who could fall to his loyalty through the contempt and detestation of all his fellow citizens, is not likely at this day to be so easily drawn off from it. It is fair, therefore, to conclude that he still has reason to believe he is advancing the interests of his master; and in this light, every friend to the Independence of America, must look upon him and his schemes with horror.
"Shew me a poor man and I'll shew you a scoundrel!"
If Fouquier Tinville had laid this, he would have disgraced himself even with his bloody-minded compeers: but here, what are we to think of its making a governor?
In the present infant state of our naval establishment, when it has to contend through every step of its progress, not less against a depraved opposition from sworn foes to the prosperity of the country, than the idle and unmanly quibbles of professed cavillers, successes which would at any other time be unimportant, are exalted to dignity and consequence. At so critical and hazardous an hour, every thing that tends even in a remote degree to advance and confirm this important bulwark of the nation, must be received with ardor by every friend to his country, and estimated, at least to the full extent of its consequence. The officers who achieve such exploits should be revered and honored as the peculiar asserters of their country's glory, and the avengers of her wrongs. No opportunity should be omitted of demonstrating esteem, gratitude and respect for those who through scenes of severest toil and peril, bear the avenging thunder of our arms to the doors of the enemy, and boldly hurl him defiance in the seat of his insolent power. By such conduct we have it in our option to create those means which can alone effectually protect us from degradation and insult—by such means may we advance the great end of establishing a navy—and America, once become a formidable maritime power, it is not in the nature of things possible, that she can fail to be great. For a nation to be great, it is only necessary that she wills it.
How many thousand dollars will not the recent capture by capt. Tingey have been the means of saving to this country? and yet the becalmed Democrats will growl at the existence of a navy.
Amongst other means resorted to by the Democrats to destroy our navy in its cradle, they have had the meanness even to bely the credit of the ships. The Ganges was called a log—and so it happens that she out-sails the fastest of the French privateers.
MEMORABILIA. "Talk to me of your poor honest men," indeed said Don Thomas at the table of Don Edwards "Talk to me of your poor, honest men!" It's all nonsense—Who ever heard of poor honest men? "shew me a POOR MAN and I'll shew you A SCOUNDREL!"!!!!!! O! wise young Judge? O! learned Judge! O! upright, just, magnanimous Judge!
"He even took the wall of me!" Fouquier Tinville is said to have had a man guillotined for taking the wall of him. One would hardly think this country would ever exhibit a picture so brutal and so bloody as this: but that it contains a Fouquier or a Jeffries in disposition, tho' happily not in power, will be doubted by no one who hears that an "ancient knave," whom honest men dread and villains idolize, advanced against a man on his trial as a criminal act, his having the audacity to take the wall of him.
Yesterday morning the Delaware Sloop of War, which has been laying some time in this port, repairing, weighed anchor, and dropped down the river, on a cruise.
The George Washington, Capt. Fletcher, has sailed from Newport towards the West-Indies. Capt. F. will be commodore on the station to which he is bound.
Capt. Joseph Saunders, of Bolton, is appointed a Lieut. in the United States. The United States frigate Boston, Capt. Little, has received sailing orders.
A Providence paper received yesterday says "Men are enlisting here for the Constitution frigate."
A number of Counterfeit Ten Dollar Notes of the Branch Bank of the United States are in circulation. The engraving is tolerably well executed; but the paper is of a much coarser texture, than the real notes; and the signature of the President, Cashier, and Indorser, are so wretchedly imitated that the fraud may be easily detected.

No. V. To the Managers of the Alms-House and House of Employ.
GENTLEMEN, I HAVE proved clearly, that four hundred and fifty three paupers have done little or nothing for a whole year in the House of Employ, in other words, they have only earned a profit of four shillings each on their labour, although they were found nil every thing at the public expense.
I will now as clearly prove, that your payments for three years past in the Pennsylvania Hospital have cost you no more than one hundred and fifteen cents a week each, although some writers have ungenerously asserted they cost three dollars.
The facts will appear on accounts rendered to you for three years past, to be, as follows, viz.
  pay per. in all. weeks. exp.    797 20 12 42 919 932 16  798 31 40 71 1440 1776 28  799 21 27 48 1440 1882 53  -----  total, 72 89 161 3763 4320 97  
which is, upon an average, no more than one hundred and fifteen cents per week for each person. Now let us see how much less it is than the actual expense to the Hospital.
3763 weeks at 3 dollars per week
11,289
Deduct the above, which is all the hospital are to receive from you, 4,320 97
The balance will then be 6,968 3 given in charity to the city and liberties by the contributors, and is about two thousand three hundred and twenty two dollars per annum, for three years past or a little more.
This is a very handsome contribution, though it is no more than is due to the city and liberties of Philadelphia, for that support which their citizens have given to the institution. But it is the duty of the Managers at the same time, not to forget legislative grants; and their charter, which constitutes the Pennsylvania Hospital to be, not a city, but a state institution, intended to diffuse its benefits without partiality to city and country and destitute strangers, the objects of Legislative attention, and of the contributors care.
A letter from Capt. Tingey, of which the following is an extract, was received on Saturday at the office of the Secretary of the Navy.
Ganges, off St. Bartholomews, 26th June, '99.
SIR, AGREEABLY to the tenor of my correspondence, by the Baltimore, capt. Barron, of the 11th inst. I proceeded with the Ganges to the coast of St. Bartholomews, where I met as heretofore only fruitless chases, till the morn of the 16th. after being joined by capt. Bainbridge with the Norfolk, when rather before day, a sail was discovered under our lee—chase was immediately given to the N. W. the course the vessel took; our situation being about N. E. by N. from St. Bartholomews 16 or 18 leagues.
As the day opened we knew or believed her to be a French privateer sloop of 10 guns which we had seen a few days ago in the harbour of that island, and she was scarce more than three or four gun shot distance. She led us however, with every sail in the ship set, till three in the afternoon, having run near 60 miles and discharged upwards of 40 guns at her, some of the last of which were loaded with canister shot, which went round him like hail, without doing him any material damage, and fortunately for him none of his numerous crew were hurt.
During the chase he had cast overboard (in order to lighten his vessel, and facilitate his sailing) the boat, some of his provisions, all his guns, except two, and much other heavy material, but to no effect. After or about 1 P. M. finding we approached him, and that he must fall, he hoisted French colours, and fired a gun to the windward, to give him opportunity of striking in from; which he at length did, but so near that a broadside from the ship would probably have totally destroyed him. It proved to be the privateer sloop Vanqueur of Guadalupe, of 8 guns and 85 men. She is Bermudian built, equipped up to the beams, was most completely fitted, & from her rate of sailing, (being by their account, the swiftest privateer of Guadalupe excepting one) and the number of her men, she would have proved extremely mischievous to our trade—She had been 14 days from Guadalupe, and had taken nothing.

Extract from Capt. Keney's Log Book. Surinam June June 5.
At 10 A. M. hove up and made sail, stood down the River in company with a French Schooner privateer, at Meridian anchored at Port Amherst, not wishing to have intimacy with any company that went to sea.
June 6th, dropt down to Brams Point and anchored, saw a brig privateer stand off and on, which prevented me going out.
June 7th, saw a cutter privateer all day standing off and on.

When out of the river saw the above two vessels warmly engaged, set all sail we could draw, and gave them as much room as possible. Being hazy I lost sight of them in about an hour, shortly after the firing ceased.

Extract of a letter from the supercargo of the ship Fortitude, Keney, of this port, dated off the mouth of the Ganges, March 5, 1799.
"I have the satisfaction to inform you that the French frigate Le Forte has been taken by his majesty's ship Sybelle of 44 guns after a severe action of 2 hours and 45 minutes; during which, the captain, 1st lieut. and 60 men were killed on board the former. The Sybelle has received very trifling damage. The Le Forte is a 74 cut down, and now mounts 54 guns, well manned, and sails remarkably fast. She had taken a few days previous to being captured, the Olerly, East-Indian in ballast. It is not known the exact damage the Le Forte has done in those seas, but it is supposed to be very great."

TREASURY DEPARTMENT. March 11th, 1799. PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, Pursuant to the act of Congress passed on the 31st day of June, one thousand, seven hundred and ninety six, entitled "an act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military services, and for the society of United Brethren for propagating the gospel among the Heathen;" and the act supplementary to the said recited act passed on the second day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine—to wit:
That the tract of Land herein after described, namely, "beginning at the North West corner of the seven ranges of townships, and running thence fifty miles due south, along the western boundary of the said ranges;—thence due West to the Main Branch of the Scioto river; thence up the Main Branch of the said river to the place where the Indian boundary line crosses the same;—thence along the said boundary line to the Tulpacanah branch of the Mufkingum river at the crossing place above Fort Lawrence; thence down the said river, to the point where a line run due west from the place of beginning, will intersect the said river; thence along the line to run to the place of beginning;" has been divided into townships of five miles square, and fractional parts of townships; and that plans and surveys of the said townships and fractional parts of townships are deposited in the offices of the Register of the Treasury and Surveyor General, for the inspection of all persons concerned.

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 far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Through-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 least of its advantages, because daily experience proves to us, that dispatch as well as comfort 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 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 if any 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 for dinner; from Pennypack through Hopewell, Millstone, Bound Brook, Quibbleton 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. Matthew, corner of Nassau and John Streets, to B. Many, no. 43, Courtlandt, corner of Greenwicht 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 12 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 large-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 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 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 will stop, so that the conduct of the persons they employ is continually an object of their attention.—They take care also to see that the passengers are well provided for and politely treated at the taverns, and that no sort of chicanery or imposition is practised upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expense to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best line of stages in America. The line has now run nearly a month, during which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Every passenger has found the road to surpasses very far all that has been said of its excellence; and the Proprietors of the Swift Sure are extremely happy to hear the behaviour of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns, spoken of with the highest satisfaction.
