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 Meece, 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 now 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 Tighman, John Ashley, and Thomas Stewardson, trustees of the estate of Samuel Caldwell, surviving partner of James Meece, as the said two tracts were part of the estate of Meece 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.

PORTLAND July 3. Of European Events. The European accounts, via Live-pool, to May 11, are of the same date with those received via Halifax, and are the latest recei- ved in the Union. At the moment of the last advices from Italy, revolutions were in operation, whose effects must be decisive. The main army of the confederates were in full march for Verona, to measure bayonets with the French at Lodi; and lay claim to the title of "Conquerors of Italy." The con- tract must have been tremendous; and we may hourly look for the event. On the Rhine both armies appeared at rest. The French had returned into their territory; and the Austrians appeared contented with the recovery of their country. The re-estab- lishment of the health of the Austrian com- mander may change the inactive system. Affairs in the interior of France are as propitious to peace, as the belligerent events. The continued growing deficiencies in the French finances, which even bankruptcy can- not remedy, have excited alarm in the Ru- ling Powers. The Minister of Finance has founded the rostrum to the Directory, and the Directory has communicated the subject to the two councils. The means and means are wanting; and even French ingenuity is puzzled to find sources of income; which can prescribe even limits to the evil. The expenses of the current year are estimated at 700 millions of livres—a round sum for an empty treasury, and deranged finance. The Elections, as we before have stated, have proved anti-Directorial. But as the Directory are skilled in such cases, we may expect to hear of their having nullified those elections that please them not, and declar- ing the existing "Rulers of the Free," per- manent and indissoluble. "Impious ne- cessity" will justify any conduct of theirs. The most vigorous measures have been used to recruit the French armies by the levy of 200,000 men; but all the rigour of the municipal midwives has produced not more than 40,000. The Brest Fleet is powerful —The Paris papers state that the fleet con- sists of 25 sail of the line and six frigates, hav- ing 16,000 troops on board.—They have passed up the Streights, and are followed by an English squadron under St. Vincent. We may early hear of another sea-encounter simi- lar to Nelson's victory.—It will be remem- bered, that the calling in, and dismantling of the French privateers, has been adduced by Logan and others, as a proof of the re- turning amity of France. Events have shown, the measure to have had no other ob- ject than the equipment of their fleets. Thus doth time develop French perfidy.
WALPOLE, June 17. INCIDENTS AT HOME. OF one of the finest ships in the Ameri- can navy, Talbot, a gallant and experienced mariner, from Newport, is appointed cap- tain. We hope he will conduct the Con- stitution with bravery to the foe, and with safety to port. This gentleman, we suppose, from his name, is a descendant from that noble and valiant family to which Sir Roderick has given a title, and Shakespeare, and the ear- ly English historians, have given fame.— When the Henry's and Edward's of Great- Britain attacked, or resisted France, the name alone of Talbot was no doubtful pre- sage of victory. History and poetry have combined to immortalize the house of Shrewsbury. Our marine Officer, to whom his country has consigned the care of one of his nautical bulwarks, will remember the deeds of his ancestors, and will oppose the ancient and inveterate foes of his race, with a seaman's ardour and an Englishman's pride. The muse of England has made the deeds of one of his predecessors nearly coeval with the national glory; and, in the fields of France, Talbot and triumph went hand in hand. We cannot resist the temptation of infusing on the "sweet memorial," which British gratitude has cherished of an ancient warrior; and we quote the lines of panegy- ric, as a tribute to departed, as an incite- ment, to living worth. "With Talbot's giant force The daring Frenchman urged unequal fight; For, like some oak that firm with deep fix'd roots Mocks at the storm, the undaunted Earl endured The rude assault." Among the more vigorous productions of the American pen, may be justly enumer- ated the various charges, delivered by the Judges of the United States, at the opening of their respective courts. In these useful addresses to the jury, we not only discern found legal information, conveyed in a style at once popular and condensed, but much political and constitutional knowledge. The Chief Justice of the United States has the high power of giving men much and most es- sential information, in a style the very model of closeness and dignity. His charge, in the first page of this paper, is an illustrious example. Forcible, nervous, well-arranged and compact—it is "like the last embattling of a Roman legion."—Brilliant, or some such visionary Frenchman, talks about the "modest simplicity of republicans." This kind of modesty, is supposed to be very cur- rent among New-England people; they are,
however, often prone to use as "big swell- ing words," as the natives of Galway.— Sometime since a farthing paper, printed in a quarter to obscure, that, perhaps, not more than 200 subscribers read it, was styled The Journal, and Universal Ad- vertiser. This reminds one of a low pedlar, who occupied a miserable tenement in that quarter, styled by the classical Bostonians, "Pudding Lane." This wight, who might possibly vend some half dozen pounds of flarch in a year, chalked on a board in flar- ing capitals: The Universal Poland Starch Maker.—The Connecticut wits, alluding to the drying music and lying politics of Pitt's "Bee," call it, very aptly, the Hum- Bug.—A lady, who dates in Boston, from a street so retired and sulphurous, that she cannot be supposed a
"Penfive nun devout and pure, Sober, sedate and demure." Advertises "Burnt Salve." This is rather a singular name for a medicine, and not fan- tioned by the college of Physicians. Whe- ther or not the fair inventress was struck with the analogy between the name of her nostrum, and the malady it might cure is, with great modesty, submitted to those phi- losophers, who frequent the portico, and the Lycæum of love.—A Mr. Peabody, a woolen draper from Colchester, and who deals largely in the well-known commodity of that place, has just announced his arrival and enumerated his goods in one of our city papers. In a very forced style of punning he concludes with a well-known line from WALLER. Venus her myrtle Phœbus has his bays. —Some whimsical bird fancier deplores, in a Boston paper, the loss of an individual of that species of property, which, like those "riches," described by Solomon, literally "takes wing and flies away." The lo- ser advertises a wild gander, and promises a reward, upon the restoration of this aerial chattel. A Walpole wit, pitying the un- fortunate searcher after a feathered vagrant, avers that this will certainly prove a wild goose chase.
Twenty Dollars Reward. DESERTE d from the barracks at Reading, in the night of the 5th July, 1799, the follow- ing soldiers in the 11th regiment in the service of the United States.

[In introducing this celebrated work to the Gen- tlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to that of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself, that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America.— This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of note, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advan- tage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle which is prefixed to it, and which must be ex- tremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Ameri- cans who have the taste to admire the judicious and the talents to rival the Genius of other nations.

By this Day's Mail KINGSTON, (Jam.) June 23. Yesterday brought his Majesty's ship Queen was safely towed along side the wharf at the dockyard in Port Royal. Sunday his Majesty's ship Coleby, cap- tain Poyats, arrived from a cruise with the following prizes: Brig New York Packet, under Ameri- can colours, from Charleston bound to La Vera Cruz, with wine and brandy. Ship Adventure, under American colours, from Campeachy bound to the Havana with logwood. A fish ooner under American colors from New Providence bound from Porto Plato, with dry goods, sent in by his Majesty's ship La Legere. The French letter of marque Schooner Santa Maria, of 8 guns and 50 men prize to his Majesty's brig Diligence, captain Mends, arrived on Monday; she is laden with wine, flour, dry goods, and provi- sions, and was bound from St. Thomas to Jacmel.
BOSTON, July 11. Extract of a letter from Mr. Buckley, to a respectable gentleman in this town, dated LISBON, May 21, '99. "Postscript.—The combined armies in Italy are wonderfully successful. It is re- ported, and credited, that Milan is taken by the Austrians; and that Mantua is close ly besieged by Gen. Suwarow; and hopes are also entertained that it will surrender ere long; but as to the Commerce of the Medi- terranean, we consider it at present very pre- carious, for unexpectedly the Brest fleet, of about 24 sail of the line including Spanish ships from Toulon, (which joined them off that port) has, by more than good fortune, entered the Mediterranean. They passed the Gue of Gibraltar the 5th inst. at 6 o'clock, P.M. with a strong wind blowing in, refusing to engage the British fleet off Cadiz, which was to leeward, consisting of only 16 sails of the line. Lord Keith offered them battle which they declined; Earl St. Vincent was himself at Gibraltar, but joined his fleet as soon as the wind would permit him, and followed them up the Streights, with a press of sail; and hopes are entertained he will come up with them." This letter was brought by capt. Grose who informs that it was reported at Lisbon, the day of his sailing, that the French fleet had put into Carthagena.
NEW-YORK, July 15. The papers by the mails on Saturday last contain very little intelligence. The report of an engagement having taken place, off the east end of Long Island, between the United States frigate George Washing- ton and the British frigate Boston, as far as we can learn, is wholly without foundation. Portugal, of whom many of the Euro- pean States were wont to speak in the most disrespectful manner, has manifested a firm- ness and determination worthy of a nation descended from the ancient Celiberians.— Menaced with invasion, the Portuguese are making every preparation for the most vig- orous defence. Every man capable of serv- ing his country in this essential crisis, is training to arms; magazines of stores and provisions are collecting; and every other arrangement adopted for securing that king- dom from the horrors that have been exhibi- ted in the states subjected to the Barba- rous depredations of the French banditti.
The crops thro'out the West Indies have been very abundant. Trinidad having attracted great numbers of adventurers, both in the commercial and planting lines, is be- coming a very valuable colony. Grenada is recovering fast. Tranquility every where in our Islands prevail, and no apprehensions are entertained of attempts from either for- eign or domestic enemies.
By late accounts from the Cape of Good- Hope, it appears that provisions of all kinds are in great abundance there; and the in- habitants seem to reconcile themselves to the English.
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city, dated Mouth of the Ganges, 5th of March. "On the 24th of February, news was received in the river, of two French ships having captured three outward bound ships, and chased several others into the river, in consequence all the pilot boats, came into the river, and we were laid expecting an em- bargo. At this time there was no armed ship in the river to cope with either of these ships, one of which are said to be a fifty four gun ship; the Sybille a 44 was hourly expected from Madras. In this situation of affairs the Sybille arrived on the Pilot Ground on the 28th after an engagement of 2 hours and 41 minutes, took the French ship called La Porte, killed the captain of the French ship and 60 men in the action, the captain (Cook) of the Sybille and first lieut. were wounded, and have gone up to Calcutta; the other frigate is supposed to have made the belt of her way out of the Bay."
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in New-Providence, to his friend in this City dated NASSAU, June 29, 1799. "We have had much sickness here since the rains set in, the cases of Fever are more of the Remittent than Putrid cast—People from the northward with full habits are the chief victims; and some few from our own Islands have also died—while the old fash- ion, there is those who have been two years

confused state of affairs... One melancholy fact... that the secret and more popular... this place becomes, the more... are the inhabitants to disclaim... events immediately to windward of... town... either drained or filled up, and more... rigid attention is paid to having... removed from our streets, &c. We must... expect every summer a renewal of the... to grievously complained of.
By the time this reaches your hands, I think you will have news to June from England, announcing the entire defeat and destruction of the French armies in Egypt, Italy, the Grisons and Switzerland. Events that will be a prelude to the overthrow of the anti-republican Directory."

Dublin, May 8. Yesterday the following proclamation was issued by the Lord Lieutenant and Council: that an embargo be laid upon all ships now within the ports of this kingdom, or that hereafter come into any of the said ports which are or may be bound to any of the ports in the territories of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Letters from Cork say, that on Thursday last, in the afternoon, the channel fleet, under the command of Admiral Lord Bridport were described three leagues S. W. of the Old Head of Kinsale, lying to. As soon as the bills now on their progress in Parliament have passed the houses, which it is expected will be about the end of the present week, we hear, an adjournment of ten days will take place, to give time for the return of the certified bills, after which, and the royal assent given, a prorogation will follow. If a sudden prorogation of Parliament takes place as it is said, the houses, we hear, will meet in July next, as measures intimately connected with the interests of the British empire cannot, they say, await the slow return of a February session. Yesterday, His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant went in the usual state to the house of Peers and gave the royal assent to such bills as were returned from England. On Wednesday last, in the Court of Exchequer, the motion for setting aside the verdict had in the case of Wright versus Fitzgerald, was refused with full costs against the latter. On this occasion the Chief Baron declared, that so firmly were the innocence and suffering of that loyal and much injured gentleman, Mr. Wright, rivetted on his mind, that he could not rest that night if he left the court without declaring the determination of him and his brother Judge.

The Cox's and Duane's of the Aurora, think it would "serve the cause of virtue, and promote the freedom of mankind," were the French to be conquerors in the four quarters of the world! These men may call themselves real republicans, it is most certain they are not real Americans.
The French Directory would have ruined our commerce had we not armed our vessels; would have debased us in the eyes of the whole world, had our two other ministers been, like the third, winking politicians; would have landed border of plunderers, and assassins upon our Southern flank, had we not prepared to resist invasion, by a regular army; and yet daily ejaculations are offered up, by the Jacobins and real republicans of the Aurora, that this army may be annihilated, and the success of the French despots, universal.
Can any one assign, another reason, why the jacobins, or republicans, are so anxious, to see the French every where victorious, than this, that they hope to rule under them? This is love of country; this is disinterested patriotism with a witness.
The Jacobins have not yet mentioned what kingdom, or state in Europe, Asia, Africa, or America, they with the French not to subdue.
Amongst the sure precursors of revolutions, in states and kingdoms, may be reckoned the following: 1st. The Janissaries of jacobinism or democracy, seizing upon the people. 2d. Frequent opposition, under an established government, by large masses of the community, to laws, freely and constitutionally made. 3d. Divisions, and inordinate ambition among men of the same party. 4th. A timid Executive, or an Executive, adverse from whatever cause, to the execution of laws, calculated to obviate the effects of these evils. If such be the situation of the United States, what is it, can avert a revolution?
It was the opinion of the Venetian and Swiss rulers, that the forms even of the governments of Europe, meaning those of the first order, or most powerful, gave to the lesser and republican governments, a security against any one of these great monarchical ones, swallowing up all the others: Our jacobins, or real republicans, as they like themselves, so far from entertaining such opinions; or wishing any thing like the preservation of an equilibrium, or balance of power, between these great nations, pray, that France may swallow up not only the Germanic empire, but all the other European governments. It is only the other day (July the 1st) that the Aurora ardently prayed, that God might aid Bruix, the French admiral, to destroy the British Fleet, and for the overthrow of the British Government. It is confidently believed, that we should be able to preserve our liberties, and the independence of our country, even after such an event, from the fleet and power of France. It is certain however, that it would cost the United States; a much more serious, and bloody struggle.
TO CHARITAS. IN your publication of last Saturday you say the Managers of the Pennsylvania Hospital charged 77 cents per week for the maintenance of Maniacs, &c. sent to them by the Managers of the Alms House, and that in 1798 and 1799 they charged 3 dollars per week. Upon reading this I thought I would not take your word for it, but see for myself how things were. On being permitted to examine the books at the Hospital, I found your assertion true as to 77 cents, in the case of two women only, one of whom I was informed was yet in the house at that price, although ten shillings per week was the board at the same time for their other patients. This was owing to particular circumstances operating in favor of those two women, which the managers of the Hospital considered and agreed to, on the personal attendance and application of two overseers of the poor. Thus, in 1782 the price was 1 55 dollars per week; in 1799 3 0 dollars per week, which is not much more than double what it was in 1782; whereas you first it was as one to four.
Your making the above comparison of the price which the Managers of the Hospital demanded for patients in 1782 and the "enormous price" they demand now, induced me to compare the poor taxes which they required for the support of their paupers in the same years, and I find on enquiry that the poor tax raised in 1782 was 6,000 dollars, in 1799 62,000 dollars, which is more than ten times as much!!!
VERITAS. NEWPORT, JULY 8. Anniversary of American Independence. The fort at Brenton's point, and the contiguous works, being in a state of forwardness, its battery complete, mounting thirty two pounders on sea coast carriages; Major Lewis Toussard gave previous information to the Major General of the state, the staff of the militia, and the citizens at large, that on the fourth of July, the Fort should be named, agreeably to the concurrence of the Secretary of war.
The ceremony commenced with the marching in of Captain John Henry's company of artillery and engineers, to the garrison which they are in future to occupy. They were followed by the Major General of the state, the militia staff, the Newport ancient artillery company with two brass field pieces, the two militia companies of artillery and infantry, with two field pieces, and a vast concourse of private citizens.
The Fort gates leading to the federal battery not having been finished, Major Toussard had constructed temporary arches ornamented with wreaths of evergreens and flowers, over the key of which stood a tablet, with the following inscription:
FORT ADAMS. The rock on which the storms will beat. At a quarter before twelve o'clock, Major Toussard having called the attention of the parade, addressed them in the following concise and energetic manner:
Citizens, Happy to improve every occasion to testify my veneration for the highly distinguished citizen, who presides over the government of the United States, I have solicited the Secretary of war to name this fortress FORT ADAMS. He has gratified my desire; and I hope the brave officers and soldiers, who are and shall be honored with its defence, will by their valor and good conduct, render it worthy of its name, which I hereby proclaim.
FORT ADAMS. At that moment the flag was hoisted and the firing a federal salute commenced at the battery, which concluded with three cheers from the whole assembly, expressive as well of the general satisfaction they felt, as of their gratitude to the Secretary of War for the attention he has paid to the protection of this harbor. The guns at Fort Wolcott returned the salute, as did also the Newport and militia companies, with fifteen platoon discharges from the infantry company. All the salutes were fired with admirable correctness and redound much to the praise of those who performed them.
After partaking a collation and other refreshments, provided for the occasion by Major Toussard, Captain Henry's company paraded in a line with the guns of the battery with the officers in front, headed by Majors Toussard and Jackson. After which the several independent companies, passed them in review, the officers and colors saluting; these were followed by the general and staff officers and private citizens, all of whom saluted as they passed.
The whole assembly having passed under the arches of the entrance gates, three guns were fired from the battery, which ended a ceremony worthy the great occasion. During the whole of which, every countenance beamed with approbation at the honor done to the illustrious name of Adams.
At Bridgetown (West-Jersey) the 4th of July was celebrated as follows: A gun at day light. A federal salute at 12 o'clock. After which a procession was formed at the Court House and proceeded to the Church, where the Rev. John Davenport introduced the service by a very suitable prayer.
Church Music. Declaration of Independence read by General Giles. Hail Columbia. Oration by Major White. A patriotic Song. Procession returned to the Court House. At 3 o'clock the company dined under a bower prepared for that purpose, and drank the following toasts under a discharge from Captain Seeley's artillery.
1. The day we celebrate; may no cloud be seen in its horizon, but those which bear thunder to the enemies of our country. 2. The President of the United States; may his virtue, magnanimity and patriotism engage the affection, confidence and support of every American, as they have the applause of the rest of the world. 3. The Congress of the United States; may its measures continue to be damped with that wisdom and vigor which will insure our political salvation. 4. The Judiciary of the United States; may science and equal justice continue to be its distinguishing features. 5. General George Washington; may his splendid virtues and eminent services, excite the perpetual admiration and gratitude of his country. -three cheers. 6. The Federal Chain; may it never be broken.
7. The Army and Navy of the United States; may the heart of each individual be an altar of patriotism, and their arms hard destruction on our foes.
8. Governor Howell, and the State of New-Jersey.
9. The memory of those Heroes, who have gloriously fallen in defence of their country.
10. Religion, virtue and science; united, may they form the immortal basis of our country's glory.
11. Agriculture, commerce and manufactures; may each supply the wants of the other, and all encircle the prosperity of our country.
12. The American Eagle; may he continue to soar until the glory of our country reaches the nethermost heavens.
13. The sister states, Virginia and Kentucky; let them remember that "the wages of sin is death."
14. The militia of the United States; may their love of country prompt them to suppress domestic discord and repel foreign invasion.
15. Liberty and Law; may obedience to the latter ever accompany the enjoyment of the former.
16. The American Fair; may they never so far prostitute their charms as to smile on a jacobin. -three cheers.

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, Springs, Field and Newark. THE excellence of this road, the popularity of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswick, &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 goodliness 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 tortuous between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstances, 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 Pennytown to dinner; from Pennytown 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 Bardin, Old Coffee-house, to A. Mathews, corner of Nassau and John Streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtlandt, corner of Greenwich Streets, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 22, Broad Street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars. Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile. Each passenger is allowed to take on rails, 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 late 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 Seat and ready 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 chicane or inuendo 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 surpass 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.
