AT a special meeting of the Board of property in Lancaster, June 24, 1799. Present, Daniel Broadhead, Sec. Gen. John Hall, Secretary, Francis Johnston, Reg. Gen. of the Land Office. The petition of Thomas Stewardson on behalf of himself and the other trustees for the estate of Samuel Caldwell, surviving partner of James Meese, bearing date Philadelphia, 5th Month 17th 1799, stated as follows, viz. That a certain John Collins had in consequence of fraudulent deeds poll, obtained patents for two certain tracts of land, one situate in the county of Northumberland, surveyed to Samuel Caldwell in pursuance of a warrant dated in 1774; and the other situate new in Luzerne county, surveyed to said Caldwell by a warrant also dated in 1774—and requested that patents might be granted, for the said tracts, to William Crammond, Edward Talghman, John Ashley, and Thomas Stewardson, trustees of the estate of Samuel Caldwell, surviving partner of James Meese, as the said two tracts were part of the estate of Meese and Caldwell. Whereupon the Board having considered the same, ordered that at least sixty days notice be given in one of the Philadelphia newspapers, and in the Lancaster Journal to the said Collins or his assigns, to appear before the Board on the first Monday in October next, to show cause if any he or they have, why patents should not issue for the said two tracts to the said trustees agreeably to the prayer of the said petition.

PHILADELPHIA,
THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 18.
TO THE PRINTER,
There being Errors in my Address of yesterday No. VI. to the Managers of the Alms House, I request it may be re-published, as follows:
No. VI.
To the Managers of the Alms House and House of Employ.
GENTLEMEN,
IN No. 5 I have shewed that for three years past you have paid no more than one hundred and fifteen cents per week for your patients in the Pennsylvania Hospital, and not three dollars as W. and Charitas endeavor to make appear. But their statement is altogether a deception and ought to be exposed; for they do not take into calculation any of those patients who have been admitted formerly at a very low rate, whose board has never been raised, nor those received on charity without any charge but for clothing and funeral expenses. If it be necessary further to elucidate and confirm my statement respecting the actual cost of your patients in the hospital, I refer to the accounts rendered to your board at a late meeting for the last year's expenses; by which you will observe the average cost is at this very time, no more than 118 cents each.
With as much confidence, and the same view of blinding the eyes of the public, and if possible leading me off from my intended exposure of the real state of things, W and Charitas contend in your favor, that paupers in the Alms House cost no more than a dollar a week, when if the truth were known, I have reason to believe they cost two at least. To give a correct account is however impossible without knowing the exact amount of your debts which are not yet paid. These I have good reason to believe were forty thousand dollars when your last annual account was stated; and the whole was contracted within the last two years, for by your account in 1797 it appears you did not owe two thousand pounds; and I am well informed you had several thousand pounds more of taxes in arrears, to collect, than was sufficient to pay it. I will therefore take twenty thousand dollars for granted to be the expenses of the last year, not yet paid, or included in your annual account, and proceed,
By your annual statement No. 2. the actual sum expended for the support of paupers is £12,284 11 7. or 32,758 88. Add, debts contracted, but not paid, from 1798, to 1799, 20,000. Repairs for one year I will say on an average, are - - - - 286 67. Two Swine per diem I suppose you received in the year, except on Sabbath days, for which I expect you paid one dollar and sixty seven cents each, and charged it, being half the value due to the person who brings them to the Alms House, say 626 at 1 67 which ought to be to your debit, but we do not find it, 1,043 33. Butter, veal, sausages, fish and pork, forfeited, which you publish no account of, but is carried to your house by the Clerk of the Market. 100 40.
Total expense of the year, for 605 persons, is - - - - 4169 28
Or 172 cents a week for each person, which is 57 cents more than the hospital have charged, and makes an aggregate saving of one thousand four hundred and twenty two dollars and seventy two cents per annum for the last three years.
In proof of which I exhibit the following statement, viz. 48 in the Alms House 52 weeks at 172 cents, is - - - - 4293 12. 48 in the Hospital 52 weeks at 115 cents, is - - - - 2870 40. Difference saved to the Guardians to the poor is per annum - 1,422 72.
Having now proved that the price is less in the Hospital than in the Alms House, if it is asked in which institution the most care is taken of the patients, I would recommend my fellow citizens to visit both houses and they will be able to judge.
* Charitas says, I well knew a considerable part of the clothing for near 2000 persons was made in the course of the last year in the house of employ; but I will prove the contrary - see your manufacturing accounts, viz. No. 3, manufactured goods, consumed in the house £338 0 3 - that among 2000 people is about 3/4 each, which instead of being enough to cloath them, would scarcely pay for sealing and mending their shoes.
* The Members of the Society of the Sons of St. George, established at Philadelphia, for the advice and assistance of Englishmen in distress, are requested to attend a Quarterly Meeting of the said Society, at the City Tavern on Tuesday the 23rd day of July instant, at 7 o'clock in the evening.

It is tolerably well ascertained, that Philemon B. Dickinson, Esq. is chosen Representative for the third southern district of Massachusetts, vice honorable Mr. Bullock. This decision is the consequence of the criminal supineness of the Federalists. In the first southern district, another trial must take place. Mr. Williams will probably be chosen.

Mr. Fussell's new Patent for a Balance Lock for a Canal.
The inland navigation of England by Canals, has gradually become an object of infinite commercial importance. A very considerable portion of the capital of the nation, has been laid out in forming canals; the intercourse, and the conveyances of traffic, have been very much facilitated wherever canals have been cut. A very high annual income to the proprietors of canals is yielded, as the regular commercial return from the money which has been expended upon them. Every year in consequence of these things, is marked by new projects for the extension of these channels of internal navigation. A considerable share of the mechanical ingenuity of the nation has been exerted in this interesting province. This new profession of civil engineers, find here their chief employment; and canal navigation is in a train of improvement to the highest perfection of which it is susceptible.
No one particular in the construction of canals, is of greater consequence or difficulty, than that which regards the connecting of canals of different levels into one course of uninterrupted navigation. It is often impossible, without an exorbitant increase of an expense which is always very great, to form a channel for a canal, of one invarying level throughout the whole tract through which it is to be conducted. If, in such cases, means might be contrived for the convenient raising or lowering of the vessels in the canal, from one level to another, it is easy to see that there would be a mighty improvement accomplished. To answer this end, various means have been at different times, adopted. In China, it has long been usual to raise or lower boats from one level of a canal to another, by means of balance boats kept in reserve at the locks at which the change of level takes place. Mr. Robb, a Scottish clergyman, about 13 or 14 years since, suggested, among his friends, a very simple adoption of the Chinese contrivance to the use of British canals; it was talked of as ingenious, but carried no farther towards execution. More recently, an invitation, the same in principle, was proposed for the same uses by Dr. James Anderson, a man to whose activity and originality of genius, the arts in Britain are very highly indebted.
Mr. James Fussell, iron manufacturer of the country of Somerset (Eng.) has just obtained the king's letters patent, securing him from the usual space of time, the sole right to a balance lock which he has invented for the same raising or lowering of boats between different levels in a canal. So far as we can judge from inspecting the specification of the invention, it is likely to prove very useful. We sincerely with the author every reasonable share of honor and emolument from his invention.

Mr. Fitzgerald's patent for a Signal Trumpet.
The minds of ingenious men have for some time been turned considerably to the improvement of different arts connected with warfare. Mr. Clerk's new system of signals, &c. for the use of a fleet at sea, during a naval engagement, are said to have essentially contributed to the great victory which was gained by lord Duncan. The Telegraph was found to deserve, by its important utility, to be quickly borrowed, though an invention of the French, for the use of Britain.
William Fitzgerald, esq. has obtained a patent for the sole manufacture and sale of a signal trumpet which he has recently invented for encresing the powers of sound, by sea or on land. The signal is to be given by the application of a trumpet to a pistol, or any other convenient piece of fire arms, or small artillery, in such a manner that the sound of the discharge of a pistol &c. may be augmented by it just as that of the human voice might be by the speaking trumpet. The peculiarity of the invention consists in the idea of the application of the trumpet to augment the sound from the discharge of any piece of fire arms, and in the contrivance of the apparatus, by which the trumpet is connected with the piece to be fired. It has been made trial of by a committee of general military officers, whose approbation it has received. It may become useful to a variety of occasions at sea and on land.

[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 whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expence has been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America. This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and it has an 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 Genius of other nations.

Late Foreign Articles
EXTRACTS From Irish papers to May 8—received by the ship Hope, from Newry, arrived at New-York.
BELFAST, May 7. The following persons were sent on board the Potteuwaite, in order to serve his Prussian Majesty:—viz. John McCarager, John Hutchinson, Wm. Allan, Thos. Dick, Thos. White and Arthur Kenny.
We understand that the persons who have been ordered to serve as above, have either been tried, and the punishment commuted, or committed by Magistrates under the inquisition act.
The different Yeomanry Corps in this district have been called on permanent duty, in consequence of intelligence having been received of the French fleet being at sea.
BALLYMENA, April 27. On the night of Thursday last an armed gang came to the house of David and Charles Moor, of Craigs, declaring they were ordered to give them 500 lashes each. The door was so well secured, that after several fruitless attempts to force it, they were obliged to desist. They then broke open a window, and after firing several shots into it, their leader attempted to enter but was driven back with a pitchfork, the only weapon the Moors had. It rained so violently that they failed in an attempt to set the house on fire, on which they departed. One of the Moors knowing several of them, gave information to the Portadowne cavalry who immediately set out in search of them, but they had all fled the country. We cannot help thinking that the gallant behaviour of the Moors deserves public encouragement; and we sincerely wish it may be more generally imitated.
DONACHADEE, May 6. This evening a King's messenger failed on board the Hillsborough, with government dispatches.
The Greyabbey, Portavo, and Donahadee Yeoman companies were this evening put on permanent duty.
KILKENNY, April 17. John Corcoran, and Pat Doyle, convicted at the last assizes for forgery, were executed in front of the city jail, late on Saturday night by torch light, some hope of respite having induced the sheriff humbly to delay the execution of the sentence as long as possible.
LONDONDERRY, April 30. On Wednesday last a General Court Martial assembled in this garrison by order of Major general Nugent, of which Colonel Adair, of Cambridge light Dragoons, was President, and Capt. Halton, of ditto, Deputy Judge Advocate, and Judge Martial.
The Court proceeded to the trial of Alexander Galloway, gunner in the Royal Irish Artillery, upon the following charge, preferred against him by capt. Tatham, of the Somerset Regiment.
That he on the 14th of April inst. (being then on duty at the East Fort, on Lough Swilly) did in a mutinous and insolent manner take Captain Tatham by the collar, tear his shirt and smite him in the face, the Capt. Tatham being then commanding officer of the Fort.
On Thursday the proceedings of this trial were finally closed, and sent off the following day to Dublin, for the approbation of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant. The Court then proceeded to the trial of Charles Logan and William Simpson, countrymen from Enniskillen, upon a charge "of having each of them a gun in their possession, contrary to various proclamations and orders." This trial being finished, the same day, was immediately sent off to Gen. Nugent, for his approbation; and the Court adjourned till further orders.
EDINBURGH, May 2. We formerly mentioned that a gentleman of some respectability in this city had been engaged in aiding some French prisoners to make their escape from this country. Out of delicacy to the party we did not then mention the name till the circumstances should be more fully investigated. We are now authorized to say that gentleman is the Rev. Mr. Fitzsimons, one of the Episcopal ministers of this city. What was formerly mentioned of the circumstances attending their mode of escape was correct. Mr. Fitzsimons, in his declaration says, that they came to his house, and intreated him to allow them to remain there till the sailing of the cartel, and that out of a principle of humanity he consented to do so. When the cartel was about to sail he went down to Newhaven, and procured a boat which carried them on board.
The cartel returned some weeks ago to Leigh, and one of the seamen having mentioned the foregoing particulars, an investigation immediately took place; the two Newhaven fishermen belonging to the boat were discovered, apprehended, and examined. Mr. Fitzsimons was also sent for, and underwent a long examination before the Magistrates, and the account he gave of the transaction is nearly what we have stated.
It appears that Mr. Fitzsimons being acquainted with the prisoners, arose from the following circumstance:—A party from Ayr, who has a son settled at Dunkirk, wrote to him to advance some money to a man (a prisoner in the castle) to whose relations at Dunkirk his son lay under obligations; which he accordingly did from time to time.
The two fishermen and the master of the cartel are in custody, and Mr. Fitzsimons has been admitted to bail.
We understand that this matter will soon undergo a discussion before a Court of Justice.
DUBLIN, May 8. In the course of Sunday, express arrived at the Castle from Cork, stating, that on Thursday last the fleet under Lord Bridport's directions, the Polyphemus of 64 guns, had left Cove in order to reinforce him.
By Plymouth letters of the 30th, received in town yesterday, we have received a rumour the Cæsar of 80 guns, having fallen among the French fleet singly, had been taken; but for this we have reason to think there can be no foundation in truth.
For this some time past, the price of green pork, per hundred, has been rising each week and last week, it is stated that it rose 18d. still however, it is cheap in comparison of beef and mutton, both of which continue extravagantly dear. Bacon has also been rising this month past, and very probably will be higher than what it is at present. Fresh butter has experienced a small reduction, but bowl and tub butter remain the same, which is attributed to its scarcity at market, very little being brought in from the country parts.
Malt was last week, from 11. 7s. to 11. 11s. the barrel, which is some small reduction in price. There was only twenty barrels of barley at market, which sold at 21s. the barrel. Oats from 13s. to shillings the barrel, middle price 14s. 7d. Oatmeal, from 15s. to 17s. 6d. the hundred weight, middle price 16s. 3d. Wheat from 11. 11s. to 12. 1s. 6d. the barrel, middle price 11. 15s. 6d. Whiskey, twenty per cent above proof, from 7s. to 7s. 6d. the gallon.
The West York regiment of militia which arrived last week is commanded by Earl Fitzwilliam, late Viceroy of this kingdom. This corps is composed of very fine looking men, whose clothing is remarkably good.
By this Day's Mail.
SALEM, July 12. On Tuesday last the ship Ulysses, Capt. Josiah Ome, arrived here from Bengal.
In India, the English exhibit the same proofs of naval superiority over the French, as in every other quarter of the globe.—A few days before the Ulysses left Bengal, Capt. Ome informs us, the French 54 gun ship La Forte, was towed into the river, a mere hulk without a spar standing, taken, after an action of 75 minutes, by La Sybille of 44 guns, Capt. Cook, who came in at the same time under full sail.—La Sybille had been to coivoy the Governor-General, Earl Mornington, with his suit, from Calcutta to Madras, having at the same time a large amount of specie on board for the pay of the British troops in the Carnatic. On her return, off the Sand Heads, she fell in with La Forte; the Sybille received two broadsides from her antagonist before the fired a gun; but when she had gained the position she wished, she poured in such a terrible fire upon La Forte, as soon carried away all her masts, killed the Captain and first Lieutenant, and destroyed about one half of the crew, receiving herself but a very trifling injury.
La Forte was recently from the Isle of France, had been off the Sand Heads four times, where she had taken several vessels, among others the Osterly E. Indian from Madras, which she had sent in with prisoners. She had the description of every British vessel at Calcutta; but the officers said they had no intention of molesting American vessels. The Capt. of La Forte was well known and respected at Calcutta, and had behaved with great humanity on every occasion.
Capt. Cooke commanded La Sybille in this action; and it is remarkable that he had taken this ship also from the French, in the Mediterranean, in the early part of the war, with a 32 gun frigate, which he then commanded. In the conquest of La Forte, he received a slight wound. Though the English have assembled a most formidable army in the Carnatic, yet we do not understand that Tippoo had made a declaration of war, or commenced actual hostilities; but that he had withheld the tributes stipulated by treaty, and had taken other measures which indicated an intention of hostilities. It was however expected, that the failure of Buonaparte in forming a junction with him, and of the designs of the French with Zemaun Shaw, together with the very formidable army which the English had prepared to meet him, would induce him once more to make overtures for a settlement.
[* This is a mistake: it was capt. Paget, in the Romney, who captured La Sybille.]
SEVENTEENTH JULY.
In this town the day will be observed, not with much pomp, but with heartfelt joy, and with gratitude to Almighty God for snatching us from the filthy embraces of a foul monster.
BOSTON, July 30. The naval ports of England, are stripped of shipping: which have been sent inquest of the French fleet. The dolphin never harassed the flying fish more than the English will harass the Flying-fry of France and Spain.
The celebration of the 17th inst. will be the free will offering of grateful Contributions to the Political Fathers of the Country, for one of the most important and beneficial Laws which grace the archives of our country.
PORTLAND, July 8.
SUPREME COURT. Last Tuesday, the Supreme Judicial Court was opened in this town, when an excellent charge was given to the grand jury,
by the Hon. Judge Denny, in which he made the most pertinent remarks in justification of the alien and sedition bills, proving their constitutionality. In the course of the charge, the learned judge was lengthy and pointed in his observations of the late publications in the Independent Chronicle printed at Boston, respecting the trial of Abijah Adams. Those publications were in part, evidently false and inflammatory, tending to deceive the ignorant, and mislead the public mind. The whole of the charge breathed the principles of true liberty and genuine patriotism. We are sorry that we cannot present it at large to the public, through the channel of our paper.
NEW-LONDON, July 15. We understand that the ship of war Connecticut, was pumped out, and raised from her watery bed on Tuesday last.
An honest mechanic, who had been led astray by some of the "French Tools," in this place, a few days since confessed to his neighbor, a federalist, that he had been so far duped as to believe the government of the United States more despotic than that of Turkey. He had been told and supposed it a fact that the constitution was trodden under foot, that property and person, as in France, lay at the mercy of the government; that there was neither law nor justice in the land, excepting for the rich. His alarm on the subject, had given him more unhappiness than every other worldly care, having caused him many sleepless nights. But he was now convinced he had been deceived, and was not ashamed to confess it. How callous to every good principle, how abominably wicked must the seducers of such men be. This person is a professor of the religion of Christ, and possesses a good moral character; but so infatuated has he been by the sophistry and fallhood of the disciples of Talleyrand and Paine, as lately to have wished success to the French cause; which is confessedly subversive of Christianity, and palpably destructive of those moral and social ties without which mankind would be debased even lower than the wild beasts.
When I see men neglecting their business, going about under the garb of friendship, seeking like Judas to betray with a kiss; corrupting their minds with absurd and chimerical notions of liberty, and destroying their peace of mind by lies and misrepresentations, I feel an indignation which my resolution is barely able to resist. The laws should punish the miscreants.
CARLISLE, July 10. On Thursday last, the birth-day of American Independence was celebrated here with great patriotic festivity. The rising sun was greeted by sixteen discharges of artillery from the public Square. About 10 o'clock the Infantry and Cavalry paraded in the square, and afterwards proceeded to the Presbyterian Church, where several patriotic and animated orations were delivered by the students of Dickinson College, that being the time of the Quarterly Examination.
The uniformed troops accompanied by the citizens then marched to the delightful seat of Mr. Andrew Holmes, and partook of a cold collation. After dinner the following Toast were drank accompanied by discharges from the Infantry:
1st. The day we celebrate. 2nd. The United States. 3rd. The President. 4th. General Washington. 5th. The Congress of the United States. 6th.

The moment the Directory ascertained by their Logans, that the opposition in Congress to energetic measures, for providing an army and navy, would fail, they changed their tone of contempt, and menace towards the United States, and have ever since endeavoured by a half kind of courtship, made through Hithbecks and ministers clerks, to inveigle our government into new proposals for negotiation. But unless France ceases to be a power that is paramount; is reduced to one of the first, or second order; and relinquishes the tremendous project, she has formed, and perseveres in, "to conquer the whole world," it would be the height of madness, in the United States, to rely upon any pacific arrangements, which under present circumstances she might be disposed to offer. The Government of the United States would debase the honour of the nation, and expose the country to all the plagues of French fraternity, by any alliance, or compact whatever, with a directory, whose object it is to cajole us, until it suits them to devour us. War only can be safe, honest, and honorable with such a people, so long as they continue to conquer small states, and use them to conquer larger ones, and these in their turn to subdue the largest, or most distant. Let us rather than be classed among their allies, determine to die in the last ditch.
The United States cannot lose by an open and manly declaration of war, against France. Every thing will then assume its proper place. We shall thereby rescue, national honor, and save a happy people from the dreadful condition, the Directory in the depth of their wisdom, and brotherly love, have been long preparing for the United States. We possess the Club of Hercules; let us convince France, that we have strength to wield it.
The United States ship Herald, captain Russell, arrived at Boston, on Thursday last, from Charleston and a cruise.
COMMUNICATED.
On Monday afternoon between three and four o'clock, a gentleman was assaulted and beat in a cruel manner, in Fourth Street, near the Academy, by a man who said his name was Hugh Lindsay, and that he was "an Irishman." This daring attack, as collected from the accounts then given, was in consequence of Lindsay's having been sued for a just demand for Rent, and that he chose to have such satisfaction. It is to be hoped a due punishment will follow such violators of the laws of society; and that respectable and peaceable citizens may not be in danger of assassination and insult by unprincipled men.
Extract of a letter from Easton, Pennsylvania.
"Perhaps it may afford you some amusement to learn in what manner the 4th of July was spent in this town. It will be necessary previously to inform you, that captain Henry Shnyder had the command of a company of Light Infantry. Captain Ralston of a company of Rangers, and Captain Spering of a Troop of Horse.
The several Captains had previously notified their respective companies and troop to meet on that day. Captain Shnyder's company met in front of the Court House, when to my surprise I beheld one of his serjeants, who, till within a short time was an alien, but lately became a citizen, exciting a mutiny in the company, and separating from the captain and officers, and the largest number of the men followed him; the others like good citizens and orderly soldiers adhered to their officers: then the separate divisions paraded the streets of the town.
Capt. Ralston with his officers and men dined in a grove on the south side of Lehigh river; after dinner capt. Ralston marched his men into the town, and requested captain Shnyder to join him with the remnant of his company, who had not joined the mutineers. While this junction was forming I was really astonished to see capt. Spering with his troop, joined by that of capt. Hutchinson of Mount Bethel, accompanying the mutinous serjeant with his revolutionists through the streets of this town, in military parade, the serjeant marching in the van. In these parading marches it so happened that the companies formed by captains Shnyder and Ralston fell in with the mutinous serjeant, followed by the two captains and troops of horse, and were marching the same route in the same street, when captains Shnyder and Ralston made a halt, and remen-
strated against the impropriety of such military conduct, considering it as an insult to the parcel of mutineers coming in a picket way, to highly honored by the two troops of horse. Lieutenant Kelly of captain Ralston's rangers, conducted himself on the occasion with a particular spirit and gentlemanlike behavior. The parties then separated and met no more in the same array.
Many of the troopers, to their honor be it mentioned, highly reprobated the conduct thus imposed upon them by capt. Spering, by ordering them to pay great respect to this revolutionary serjeant and his mutineers, and were on the point of quitting their ranks had they not been ordered to march a different direction.
Thus, my friend, you see we have men amongst us high in trust and office, that will neglect no opportunity, when they find one, to pay the highest compliments to disorganizers, even if it is found in the person of a rebellious serjeant and a few followers. But perhaps I may be wrong in my censure, not being a military man myself, it is possible I may have formed erroneous opinions on the occasion."

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 Tulpacora branch of the Muskingum 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 many other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand 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 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 Penarville to dinner; from Penarville through Hopewell, Millstone, Bound-brook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it stops at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New-York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York, application may be made to Edward Hardin, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtlandt, 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 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 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 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 be 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.
