OLD THEATRE.
THIS EVENING, Thursday, December 8, Signior FALCONI Will exhibit his Natural and Philosophical Experiments;
Among several new experiments, too tedious to enumerate, there will be The Astonishing Magnetism, The virtue of which the Performer will communicate to the distance of twelve feet, both by light and feeling. A curious and philosophical discovery of lighting a Candle with a Card, Knife, or Sword, without any Fire. After a New Exhibition of philosophical experiments, which the exhibitor omits to mention, with a view to surprise the company, will be a representation of that Terror of Nature, A Thunder-storm at Sea.
In which will be seen the swelling of the sea, and the waves rolling with incredible impetuosity; the sky wonderfully covered with clouds; the natural appearance of hail, with its concomitant noise, and a Ship in Distress, which after a long struggle is dashed and goes down. The manœuvring of the vessel in this dreadful situation will not only excite admiration in the spectators in general but to every fearing person, presents who must acknowledge the whole calamitous scene to be exceedingly natural, and the greatest piece of ingenuity of the kind ever exhibited in this part of the world. All to be accompanied with THUNDER and LIGHTNING, to form a resemblance as to astonish the company. After the storm will follow an appearance of all kinds of fish, and the result of the loss of the vessel—which the exhibitor is confident will give entire satisfaction and a perfect idea of a Shipwreck, to such persons as have never seen any thing of the kind.
To conclude with The appearance of a Young Lady, Who will dance a complete Hornpipe, in a beautiful saloon, equal to any Dancing-Master. Tickets to be had at Mr. North's, next door to the theatre—Boxes may be taken at the same place. No money received at the door.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, A STRANGER lately arrived from Europe, has taken the liberty to address you on a subject of great importance to all emigrants to these United States, and to request a candid answer from some one of your ingenious correspondents, to the following queries, viz.
How ought a stranger to demean himself in mixed companies, where politics are the only topic? Would a German or an Englishman be more or less esteemed for speaking favourably of his own country, and of its customs, when questioned on these subjects?
I am induced to ask these questions, from having heard, that several foreigners, now in respectable offices, have been promoted for their affected contempt of their native countries. As this is contrary to all general rules and maxims, I do not with to, "befoul my own nest," until I am confident that this is the true line to promotion in America.
I offer these scruples, that my adviser may be under no mistake respecting my original opinions on the points in question. Can it be expected, that an individual, who vilifies his native country, and his nearest connections and relations, will be true to any other? May not those persons, who have sacrificed their original social compact to foreign views in a foreign country, be more liable to make a second sacrifice, if a second prospect of gain should ever present itself, than if they had continued ever true to the purest social principles?
If a foreign emissary should attempt to carry an important point, by intrigue or bribery, would he not single out those persons as his instruments, who having already got rid of all local ties and conscientious scruples, have of course less reluctance to repeat their lies, than others have to commence lining?
I know it may be said as well of a man as of a woman, that "to deliberate on a question of virtue, is to be lost;" but as this is entirely my own concern, I beg that my respondent may confine himself to modern expediency, rather than to old fashioned morality.
GERMANUS.
FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO, SIR,
THE attack upon the conduct of the managers of the New Theatre, relative to the advanced price of box and pit tickets, which appeared in your paper of Monday last, under the signature of Honest Policy; is equally illiberal and unjust. Illiberal from the arguments adduced against the advance, and unjust from the personal attack made upon the managers, who certainly cannot be accused of any want of industry or exertion, in placing the theatrical entertainments of this city, upon a respectable footing.
The first assertion of your correspondent is certainly taken for granted. It is yet to be ascertained, whether the policy of the managers, be "equal unpleasing as it was unexampled." The managers have "relied not upon the general rage for novelty," but "upon the liberality of the citizens of Philadelphia;" and for my own part I believe, that the exercise of that liberality, may yet contradict the confident prediction above quoted. His next remark, deserves the severest animadversion; such a phrase as "encroachments upon our purses," can be deserved only by imposters and swindlers. I believe that the inhabitants of this city will not join with your correspondent, in the application of it, to the conductors of the entertainments of the New Theatre.
Your correspondent next remarks, that, "supposing that the funds of the Theatre are in the situation represented, the plan of the managers is inefficient." On that head they may be mistaken, but even admitting that his ideas are just, their error does not call for such loud and malignant terms of reprehension.
I beg leave only to observe, that if the Theatre has been more than large enough to contain all who have hitherto attended it; the disbursements necessary to decorate and illuminate such an extensive building must be proportionably great. This circumstance therefore furnishes a plea for their conduct. The epithet of "afford," which is applied by your correspondent to the "increase of price without an increase of entertainment," would be with more justice applied to his own remark. If I apprehend his meaning rightly, he would wish the managers to struggle through their present difficulties, with nothing more than a bare subsistence. If a middling increasing disbursements they are not permitted to raise their prices, theatrical entertainments must soon come to a period. No man can be expected to devote his time, his talents, and his ingenuity, to any particular profession, without a chance of remuneration proportioned to the demands which may be made upon him. The liberal and enlightened will not hesitate to acknowledge that a man who gives his whole time and attention to any mechanical employment, or to any liberal art, has a claim upon his fellow-citizens, for funds not only adequate to his present support, but also to the contingencies of futurity. The divine, the lawyer, the physician, the merchant, expect, and with justice expect, that they are not to consume the best years of their life, in toil and exertion, without the prospect of ease and compensation in their old age. Neither of these characters exerts more assiduity in the service of mankind, than they did formerly; yet, unless their fees and emoluments, were adapted to the increasing exigencies of the times, each of these professions must soon be deserted.
Upon the comparative merit of the former or present company, it belongs to the public to decide. I have been often delighted with the representations of preceding seasons, and I do not expect to be less entertained during the present. With respect to your correspondent's remarks upon the theatrical arrangements of the last season, I have only to observe that they betray equal illiberality and equal ignorance, with the rest of his letter. I do not believe that the managers would for a moment hesitate to acknowledge their gratitude for
the support that they received; but surely it is a reflexion upon the taste of our citizens, to suppose that their liberality would have been extended to performances "deserving of nothing but contempt." They were supported by most of the performers whom your correspondent mentions in another part of his letter, with apparent approbation; and that taste must have been salacious indeed, that could not have derived entertainment from their talents and exertions.
He addresses his remarks to the lovers of the drama—to them also I would address this reply. When they contemplate the improvement of theatrical exhibitions in the New Theatre, the elegance of the decorations, the encreasing salaries of a company, respectable for numbers and for talents, and the expense of constantly maintaining a large and well disciplined band; when they recollect that for all these improvements, no greater compensation has been hitherto asked, than what was demanded for the entertainments of the Old Theatre, they will surely not accuse the managers of shameful and unjust impositions, on account of their moderate advance. The theatrical entertainments of this city are at present upon a most respectable footing. I hope that the liberality of our citizens, will attend the exertions of the managers, and invite them to still further improvement.
IMPARTIAL.
BOSTON, November 27.
By captain Blanchard, who arrived on Sunday, we received London papers to October 18, four days later than were before in America.
WAR OPERATIONS.
LONDON, October 18.
Another mail from Hamburg arrived yesterday, being the last but one of the three which were due. The most important intelligence which it contains is the narrative of the skirmishes which general Moreau has had to sustain in his retreat. We have no accurate account, however, of his losses, or even of his true position. In one paper it is said he has lost 16,000 men; in others, that his losses have been very insignificant; and every other article respecting the march of the armies, is equally doubtful. Ulm, in one letter, is said to have been surrendered by capitulation; in another, that it was abandoned by the French in the night. From all these contradictory rumours it appears, that nothing precise or authentic was known to the journalists, on the subject of this retreat; and we see only that Moreau is in full march, with such a start of his pursuers, as to ascertain his retreat with the major part of his army; a circumstance which the great zealots in the prosecution of the war thought it impossible that he should effect.
The Vienna Gazette contains a number of details from Italy, in which we are given to understand, that Wurmer's situation was much less disastrous than the French papers announced it to be. Private letters from Bremen, state various reports of a defeat suffered by Buonaparte; in one he is said to be killed, in another to be a prisoner; but the whole of the story, in all its versions, has so little character of probability, as to be entitled to no credit.
The position of general Bournonville is so strong, and his army is so much reinforced, that the journals say he is beginning hostile operations; but no movement has as yet taken place. The archduke was, on the 1st instant, at Graben.—Morn. Chron. Yesterday morning arrived a courier from Sir W. Hamilton, at Naples, and also the second of the three mails that were due from Hamburg, with letters from thence of the 7th inst.
It will be recollected, that the last letters from general Buonaparte were dated the 16th of September, and only gave an account of the operations of his army to the 15th ult. They merely respected the events that had taken place near Mannheim, but did not allude to any thing that had passed in the Tyrolese, or in the vicinity of Trente. The information contained in the Vienna Court Gazette only regards general Wurmer's operations to the 13th; there is of course no mention made of the battle of St. George, which happened on the 14th near the gates of Mantua; & the result of which, according to the French general's account, forced general Wurmer to take refuge in that fortress, which he expected would capitulate in a few days. Buonaparte has not, however, succeeded in his expectations.
According to the advices from Naples it appears, that field-marshal Wurmer made sorties from Mantua on the 21st, 22d, and 23d ult. and attacked and defeated the French on each of those days near Duo Castelli and Roverbella, between Mantua and Verona, to which latter place Buonaparte had fallen back on the 26th. These events evidently shew, that the Austrian army in and near Mantua, is by no means in that distressed situation in which Buonaparte's official report asserted it to be; and that we may still hope to receive ere long, some satisfactory news from that part of the theatre of war.
The progress of general Davidovich in the Tyrolese, and his march to Trente, noticed in the Vienna Court Gazette, confirms our former conjectures, that Buonaparte may be hemmed in between that general's army and that of Wurmer. This event appears by no means improbable, when we consider, that the Austrian army in the Tyrolese is constantly reinforced by fresh troops from the emperor's hereditary dominions, who are sent forward in waggons, in order to expedite their progress. We may hope that this army will soon be in a state to act offensively; and to retake the whole country of Tyrol.—The Times.
A whole week has elapsed without our receiving a printed newspaper from France,—and it is perfectly understood that the French government has stopped the intercourse. Whether this is done to prevent our hearing any account of the misfortunes which they apprehend on the Rhine; or to keep from the knowledge of the French, as communication is reciprocal, the preparations of our embassy; we know not, but in either case it augurs ill to the success of the negotiation.
For if they are unwilling to permit the communication to be open, they will hardly suffer lord Malmesbury to remain in France; since a degree of intercourse must take place while he resides as our
accredited minister in Paris. We have no doubt but that Mr. Pitt will furnish them with a speedy pretence for sending him back, re infecta. Three hundred horses are at Calais, appointed to escort Lord Malmesbury and his suite in safety to Paris.
Dover, Oct. 16.
From Constantinople we learn, that a very important change has taken place in the ministry of the Porte. The Reis-Effendi, who had on all occasions exerted himself for the interests of the French republic, has been dismissed in the most disgraceful manner.
The Spanish ambassador's furniture and effects are all for sale. The Spanish consul and charge d'affaires, M. Las Heras, have taken their passage on board the neutral ship Zeclai, Capt. Jasena. The ambassador will follow, if his health permits.
The Spanish consul took his departure from England on Tuesday last. The ambassador will remain for instructions from his court.
By the Corinna mail of Friday, it appears that the 11,000 men stipulated for by the late treaty with France, were on their march for Italy, to reinforce the army of Buonaparte; and a fleet was about to sail towards Leghorn and Genoa, for the protection of the Spanish against the British cruisers.
THE THEATRES OF WAR.
In Europe, arrest most forcibly the attention; and to state with minuteness either operations or losses, is deemed an arduous task there. Its difficulty is augmented on the United States. It is not the interest, and it cannot be the duty of Americans, to misrepresent European events; and they ought to rejoice in none other than those which tend to restore peace and happiness to mankind.
Of General Moreau's Army, &c.
STUTGARD, (Suabia) September 28.
The rear-guard of general Moreau is said to be at Ulm, (about 15 leagues from this); a continual firing is heard. The Austrian troops are at Nordlingen. A corps of this army have reached Tubingen, and Villingen, where Gen. Petrasch's commands.—[Those two last places are between Ulm and the Rhine, on the route to Strausbourg, and in front of the Black Forest.] Twelve pieces of cannon, and four howitzers, have been taken by the peasants near Zell, with 60 chasieurs. They were destined from the Rhine for Moreau's army. It is said the peasants in the Brisgau are rising en masse. They are well treated by Petrasch, and are to have medals and money.
ULM, September 28.
Gen. Nauendorff began to bombard this place the 26th, but yesterday the French left it, and retired to Lepheim. The Austrian body is at Ehingen, (farther up the Danube.)
RATISBON, (Bavaria) September 27.
Our army pushes forward, La Tour's Headquarters at Weissenhorn—Nauendorff's near Ulm, the day before yesterday—Moreau in his retreat bends towards the Brisgau. "Thus is the superb plan of uniting the three republican armies, in the centre of Germany, altogether frustrated."
The Austrian official accounts say, that the French were defeated near Linz, the 20th, and lost 1200 men; and that La Tour had taken 1500 prisoners, a military chest and 3000 barrels of powder. The peasants very generally join the Austrian corps.
BISCHOFSHEIM, September 23.
The garrisons of Kehl and Strausbourg are to be reinforced by 10,000 men from the interior of France.
[The above accounts are from German sources, extracted from the London Morning Chronicle.]
Of the Armies on the Lower Rhine.
The accounts are confused. The French under Gen. Bournonville were advancing towards the Lahn; after being reinforced to 30,000 men.
HAGUE, October 1.
Couriers from General Bournonville succeed each other, and demand money, forage and provisions for the army of the Sambre and Meuse. Our government has already sent him 60,000 florins, and the most active measures are taking to send him cattle, flour, &c. Several waggons with necessaries are already on the road. It is said General Bournonville has desired the Directory to appoint General Pichegru to the command of the army in his stead.
October 4.
The day before yesterday the Portuguese minister Chevalier d'Aranjo, let out for Paris to negotiate a peace for Portugal, attended by M. de Britto, secretary of legation, who had brought him his final instructions.
A most alarming desertion prevails among those Dutch troops who are on their march to join the army of the Sambre and Meuse. The number of the defectors amounts already to 800 men.
Our trade is losing every day more and more, as the English block up our ports, and foreign merchants fear to remit goods to this country.
In the course of last week 700 workmen were discharged from the dock-yards at Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Dordrecht, and other places, have petitioned the Convention to revoke the decree which prohibits the importation of English goods. The petitioners state, among other observations, that they, for their own part, could remove their manufactures to other countries, but that in this case a great many families whom they had been able to support, would be thrown into the utmost misery.
VIENNA, September 24.
The States of Hungary, in their assembly, have undertaken to furnish the Sovereign with as great a proportion of men, horses, money, and provisions, as they are capable of procuring. In the course of a few weeks they will hold a formal Diet.
The news of the arrival of the Russian army on our frontiers is confirmed, but no use will as yet be made of it; it may for some time to come be considered as an Imperial corps of reserve.

Another loan on notes, bearing 5 per cent. interest, is ordered to be levied on the Hereditary States, for the military services of the year 1797. The Imperial Letters Patent, issued for that purpose, contain the following introduction:
"Whereas notwithstanding all our cares and all our efforts, we still find ourselves under the most disagreeable necessity of opposing very numerous armies to the avowed designs of the enemy, whose maintenance and other incidental and vast expenses, cannot be solely defrayed out of the ordinary revenues of the state, &c."
The Court of London has sent three millions sterling, which have already been drawn from several banking houses. It is in agitation at present, to send Gen. Mack to the army in Italy. Eighteen battalions of troops have already been voluntarily raised by the Hungarians, and sent to the armies. They have offered to raise eighteen battalions more for the same purpose.
Within these few days 9000 Croats and 3000 recruits have passed our neighbourhood, mostly in waggons, to join Generals Nauendorff and Latour. Similar considerable reinforcements are marching to our army in Tyrol. The Vienna corps of volunteers is also organizing with the greatest speed, and the officers have been for the greater part already appointed. Our tailors have made the uniforms for this corps gratis. The archduchess Christiana and her consort, Duke Albert, of Saxe Teschen, have given another voluntary contribution of eighty thousand florins towards the expenses of the war.
VIENNA, (cap. of Germany) Sept. 28. Within these few days, 9000 croats, and 3000 recruits have passed here for La Tour's army. Volunteers are embodying, and contributions are generally making. Hungary furnishes 40,000 men.
BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS. Monday, October 17. Mr. Hobart brought up the report of the Committee of Supply.
The resolutions, that 120,000 seamen be employed for the sea service for the year 1797, at 4l. per man per month, were read and agreed to.
The House agreed to go into a committee of the whole house on Wednesday next, to consider further of a supply to be granted to his majesty, and of ways and means for raising the supplies.
PHILADELPHIA. THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1796.
Elders in New Hampshire—Governor Gilman, Oliver Peabody, Ebenezer Thompson, Timothy Farrar, Benjamin Bellows, and Timothy Walker.
Yesterday being the day appointed for the meeting of the Legislature of this commonwealth, a number of the members of both houses assembled at the State-house at three o'clock, P. M. when the Senate formed a quorum. Of the House of Representatives 56 members attended; but the returns of the election from several counties not being received, no business was transacted, and the members adjourned till three o'clock in the afternoon.
The house of representatives of this state, yesterday chose George Latimer, Esq. their speaker, and proceeded to qualify its members. This day is fixed upon for choosing a clerk, sergeant at arms, and door-keeper.
The Senate also qualified its members, and being organized and ready to proceed to business, appointed a committee of two members to announce the same to the house of representatives, which was accordingly done.
Both houses adjourned to this morning at ten o'clock.
Yesterday ROBERT HARE, Esq. was elected President of the Senate of this Commonwealth.
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Tuesday, December 6, 1796.
The speaker informed the house that as there were several returns of new elections come to hand, it was necessary that a committee of elections should be appointed. On motion, a committee of seven members was accordingly formed.
On motion of Mr. Macon, a committee of revival of unfinished business, consisting of three members, was appointed.
A message from the Senate, informing the House that a quorum of their body were assembled, and ready to proceed to business, having been received, a resolution to the following effect was agreed to.
"Resolved, that a joint committee of the two houses be appointed to wait upon the President of the United States, to inform him that a quorum of the two houses are met, and ready to receive any communication he may be pleased to make to them."
A message was received from the Senate, informing the House, that they concurred in the resolution which they had entered into, and had appointed a committee accordingly.
Mr. W. Smith said, that an act had been passed for promulgating the laws of the United States. It was desirable that that act should include the laws of the present session, so as to complete the whole of the laws of the fourth Congress, and of the present Presidency. A bill was brought in to this effect the last session, which was agreed to in the Senate, but negatived in this House, as likely to affect the contract which had been made for printing. He had made inquiries on the subject, and believed there was no difficulty in the way of its accomplishment. He therefore moved a resolution to the following effect:
"Resolved, that a committee be appointed to bring in a bill to amend the act for promulgating the laws of the United States."
Agreed, and a committee of three members appointed.
On motion of Mr. Bradbury, a resolution was agreed to, authorizing the clerk of the House to cause every member to be served with three newspapers, such as he should chuse.
Mr. Ames, from the committee appointed to wait upon the President, informed the House that the joint committee had waited upon him, and that he had appointed to meet the two Houses to-morrow, at twelve o'clock, in the House of Representatives.
On motion, the House adjourned till to-morrow at eleven o'clock.
COMMUNICATIONS.
Our early patriots, the true men of 1776 (and not their Jacobin counterfeits) endeavored to inculcate the doctrine that power is ever the object of jealousy, and when it is uncontrolled, of just and lively abhorrence. This sound maxim, derived from the nature of man, and the nature of everlasting truth, is confirmed, while it is at the same moment outraged, by the account in the Aurora of the French exactions in Italy. The puffing list of pictures plundered from Italy and the Netherlands to adorn the museum of Paris is an outrage on the arts, and an abuse of the rights of war. What can be more strange, and to speak plain truth, more impudent, than to pretend that modern France, like antient Rome, when possessed of power, robs for the glory of the arts and sciences. Like the Vandals, they may boast of paintings, the master pieces of art, not merely imitating the scenes of blood and slaughter, but still wet with them. It is a new kind of warfare to plunder the cabinets of painting and statuary; and a new kind of impudence to boast of the vanities acquired and held by a title so worthy, or, more truly, so unworthy of the six nations.
War is bad enough; but it has been hitherto moderated by some rules, and conscious of some kind of shame. Who would have expected the philosophers would have pushed their rage beyond all former bounds? Suppose our colleges had been robbed by the British, the books shared among the brutal Hessians, and Franklin's statue taken from the library and sent to London, how would our heathen have raged, and imagined, not vain things, but a just indignation against the robbers? Power uncontrolled, and especially the power of the conqueror, is ever hateful, as the antients would say, to gods and men.
The article in the Aurora informs us, the pictures in the catalogue were collected by the commissioners. Now they will be seen in Paris instead of being dispersed in the Netherlands. Smooth words to expel the classical taste and public spirit of plunderers! Let it be noticed, that Attila and Odoacer spared these monuments of genius. They escaped the firebrands of the barbarians; but they could not be defended from the philanthropic pikes of the modern philosophers, who have loaded these spoils into thirty-six waggons. Indeed they will be trophies in a double sense: They will exhibit the antient splendor of the arts and the profligacy of modern hypocrisy. They will disgrace their conquerors as much as they immortalize the artificers and their subjects.
NEW THEATRE.
On Wednesday evening was performed the opera of Iole and Yarico. Mr. Moreton played Iole in a pleasing manner, though we do not think it a favorable character for the display of his talents. Mr. Wignell's Trudge was humorously given; and Mr. Warren, in Sir Christopher Cury, gained considerable applause. Mrs. Oldmixon performed the part of Yarico in a manner at once natural, sprightly and interesting; she sung delightfully. After the opera, Mr. and Mrs. Byrne, from the Covent Garden theatre, made their first appearance on the American stage in the ballet of Dermot and Kathleen, which was originally composed by Mr. Byrne. This dance was indeed charming: Mr. Byrne, who is certainly a dancer of the first rate abilities, exhibited the greatest elegance, and wonderful agility. Mrs. Byrne is a lovely woman, and though at present by no means in a dancing condition, she yet displayed such uncommon grace, as to prove that when she can give the full effect to her talents, her performance will be most captivating, and perhaps superior to any thing that has been hitherto seen in this country.
In the farce of the Village Lawyer, Mr. Harwood showed his accustomed comicality, and gave great entertainment to the audience. Mr. Blissett's Sheep-face was a masterly piece of acting. Mr. Francis's Snarl was also excellent.
DRAMATICUS.
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
BALTIMORE, December 5.
Yesterday this town exhibited so tremendous a scene as to threaten a great part of it. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a fire broke out in a frame building on the west side of Light street, occupied as a shop by doctor Goodwin. The flames immediately caught Messrs. Wilkinson and Smith's cabinet manufactory (another frame building on the fourth side) and Mr. Hawkins's two three story brick houses. On the north, they communicated to that magnificent structure, the Baltimore academy, and the Methodist meeting-house. The fierce element had now got to such a height as to put it out of the power of the citizens to save the six buildings on fire; and, therefore, to prevent its spreading still further, threw down the roof of the Rev. Mr. Reed's house, and demolished some back buildings—by which means the flames were got under.
Mr. Bryden's Fountain inn, directly opposite, was with difficulty preserved, by wetting the roof, and spreading wet blankets by a gentleman traveller on a shed adjoining the inn, which was on fire several times previous to this experiment.
It is reported the fire originated with some boys, who set fire to some shavings in the back part of the house.
The loss is said to amount at least to 20 or 25000l.
December 6.
We are happy to have it in our power to inform the public, that the villains, (five in number) who carried off Mr. McCaulland's iron chest, were last evening apprehended, and brought to his warehouse in Bank-street, where they were examined by
a magistrate, and committed to goal. All the particulars we could learn, are, that one of the accomplices had turned state's evidence, and confessed, that the chest was put into a bateau, and carried near the fort, where it was broken open with an ax, rifled of its contents, and then thrown into the water.
Mr. McCaulland has as yet only recovered 300 dollars of his money; but from information which he received, expects to recover a considerable sum more.
From a correspondent. It is but justice to declare, that the gentleman traveller, alluded to in the account given of the dreadful fire, which happened on Sunday last, by whose exertions and advice, the shed adjoining the Fountain inn was saved from that devouring element, was Mr. FRANCIS CHARLTON, of Yorktown, Virginia. The mode suggested by that gentleman, of covering the shed with wet blankets, had the desired effect, and by which the flames were prevented communicating with the adjoining buildings. Perhaps not less than half the town of Baltimore owes its present safety to the advice and active conduct of Mr. Charlton.
MRS. GRATTAN respectfully informs the subscribers to the
LADIES' CONCERT,

A valuable PLANTATION,
IN Frederick County, Virginia, bounding nearly three miles on the river Shenandoah, between Ashby's Gap and Snicker's Ferry; 66 miles from Alexandria, and the like distance from the Federal City. It contains 1076 acres, 600 of which are cleared, the residue finely timbered; the whole Limestone or River Bottom; abounding in fine streams and springs; above 80 acres on the bank of the river may be watered at pleasure. It is capable of being divided into Lots of 100 acres, with water in each, which renders it peculiarly convenient for grazing or culture. Its situation for Health or elegant improvement, is not to be surpassed in any inland country, and if deemed too large for one Farm, may be divided into two or three smaller ones, uniting in common advantages. There is now erected on the Estate a good Merchant-Mill, with two pair of stones (on a large limestone spring) that rents for 400 dollars per ann. and on another never failing spring a good Saw Mill, with a flutter wheel; there is plenty of pine timber in the neighboring mountains, and a stream sufficient for another Mill with four pair of stones—these are adjacent to or immediately on the banks of the river, the navigation whereof is about being opened into the Potomak and for more than 100 miles above the mills. The other improvements on the Estate are a new commodious Barn, the loft of which is capable of containing 1500 bushels; the threshing-floor is 43 feet square, well planked; another (double) Log Barn, with sheds all around; a Distillery, with three large Stills, and a Granary above that will contain 500 bushels, well covered with shingles, and a stream of water, conducted by troughs, running thro' it; at a small distance is a large Cow-House and Stable, with stalls for 22 cows, paved with stone in the European manner, with room for above 40 wagon loads of hay; a little further is a strong stone-walled Spring-House, completely fitted for a Dairy. The whole of these Mills and Buildings are at a proper distance from each other, and from the Dwelling, which consists of three commodious Farm-Buildings, with the necessary conveniences. A well enclosed Garden of the finest soil, with a stream of water running thro' it; two large Apple Orchards; several good Quarries for building and lime stone; a number of Out-Houses for Managers, Blacksmith, Cooper, and lodgings for Men of Colour; add greatly to the conveniences and value of this Estate.
The Purchaser, on paying one half the price agreed for, may be accommodated with a considerable credit for the remainder, and with the Cattle, Horses, Waggons, Farming Utensils, and Furniture, at a reasonable valuation. For other particulars, application may be made to the subscriber on the Estate, to Thomas Fitzsimons in Philadelphia, or Matthias Slough, Lancaster.

TO BE SOLD,
A LEASE for seven years, from the 25th March next, in that capital and beautiful FARM, called
PROSPECT-HILL,
Situated within one quarter of a mile from the Brandywine Mills, and half a mile from the borough of Wilmington. THE dwelling house is built of stone, two stories high, genteelly finished, and contains four handsome rooms on a floor, besides an entry, with capital garrets, and convenient cellars. It is generally thought to command the most agreeable prospect of the Delaware, from the source of that river to the Capes. This prospect is greatly enhanced by a full view of a vast body of meadow, through which the Christians and Brandywine creeks are seen winding in beautiful meanders. Near the house are a Kitchen, a spacious stone stable and hay loft, a barn, a carriage house, milk-house, &c. and a well of as pure water as any on the continent. The garden contains an acre and quarter of land, abounding with fruit, and particularly with peach trees, of the very best kind, brought from Maryland, and in full bearing. There is, moreover, on the place, a young apple orchard beginning to bear, and several old trees that produce abundantly, besides cherry and other ornamental trees, in great numbers. The farm consists of near sixty acres of land, of good quality, and clear of incumbrances, except a tax, twenty of which are now in excellent clover and timothy, and ten more will be ready for mowing next spring. A residence of nearly 8 years has convinced the subscriber that the situation is remarkably healthy. The great post-road from Philadelphia to the Southward runs within twenty yards of the house. In a word, the beauties and convenience of this situation cannot be enumerated in an advertisement, and when examined, will probably command the attention of any person who is desirous of living at one of the most elegant country seats on the continent. The purchaser may enter on the premises next spring, or perhaps, this fall, if application be immediately made to Doctor NICHOLAS WAY, in Philadelphia, to Doctor WHARTON, on the premises, or, in his absence, to Mr. GEORGE TRUIT, in Wilmington.
A quantity of excellent Hay, Grain in the ground, some Stock, &c. may be had by the purchaser at the time of sale. Nov. 7. codtf

T. SWANN
RETURNS his sincere thanks to those gentlemen by whom he has been employed, during his residence in this City, and elsewhere, in the various and arduous duties of his profession, in which he has been constantly, together with his moderate charges, will secure their future favors and recommendation.
He now begs leave to inform them and the public at large that his spacious and commodious premises, erected for the purposes above described are open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who wish to be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, so as to ride them with ease, elegance, and safety. Their horses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the rider; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which Providence has so bountifully bestowed on it.
Also, at his Hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience.
The utility of the above institution has never been questioned, that it has long been wanted in this city, every gentleman's stud will manifest, and T. SWANN as the first establisher of it in our country, solicits and relies upon the support of the public (which he is ever anxious in serving) to enable him to bring it to perfection. The idea of a subscription for that purpose has been hinted by several gentlemen, who wish to promote the institution—the amount of each subscription to be returned by services in any of the departments he professes, agreeable to the rate of charges stated in his hand bills. Such subscription is now open, and the signatures of many respectable gentlemen already obtained. He therefore informs his friends and fellow Ladies and gentlemen to whom he has not the honor of being known, that he shall in a few days take the liberty of waiting upon them and soliciting their support and protection.
N. B. Horses are properly prepared for those Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to be instructed. Nov. 5. tth&f.
RANAWAY.
About the 1st of October last, from the plantation of Mr. Thomas F. Brooke, (in Prince George's county) to whom he was hired, a NEGRO MAN, named CÆSAR, 33 years of age; about 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high; well made; of a yellowish complexion; a little pockmarked; has, when spoken to, rather a down look, and submissive tone of voice; the clothes he had before he absconded were of plain, such as labouring Negroes usually wear, but these he may probably exchange for others; he will doubtless endeavour to pass for a freeman, having, as I have been informed, assumed the name of Butler. I have reason to believe that he went to Baltimore, from whence he is said to have gone to some part of the Susquehanna, probably with a view of getting to Pennsylvania. A reward of Thirty Dollars will be given to the person who may take him and so secure him in some jail that I may get him again, if taken in this State, and fifty dollars if taken out of the State, and if brought home or secured in the jail of Prince George's county all reasonable charges will be paid by ALEX.

N. B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the last drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the last but one.
And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when completed, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington.
The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off—the money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the sum for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the closing of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake the arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that their friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the trust suspension indispensable.
