Governor Tichenor's Speech
To both Houses of the Legislature of the State of Vermont.
Fellow Citizens of the Council, and Assembly.
ACCUSTOMED to regard the public voice with sentiments of respect, I now appear before you to resign the office of Governor of the United States, and accept the more arduous and difficult task allotted to the chief magistrate of this state.
The general prosperity which attends the public affairs of this state, cannot but afford us much encouragement and satisfaction.
It has become our duty to consult and promote the interest of our fellow-citizens, by a faithful discharge of the different offices and trusts which have been assigned to us; and in the performance of this duty, we ought invariably to be governed by the constitution of this state, which, designating our various powers, while we adhere to it, in every legislative and executive act, we shall proceed on established and just principles.
The necessary business of the session will come before you from a variety of sources—From the sudden transition of an appointment in the federal government to the office and duty on which I now enter, it cannot be expected that I should be prepared to detail to you the public business, which will demand your consideration.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives. The state of the public expenses and revenue is an object which most properly belongs to your department, and cannot fail to engage your careful attention.
not fail in its operations to prove unfavourable to the people. While the public expenses are managed with economy, the wisest way to support them, will be to make the annual provision, always adequate to the necessary expenditures.
Gentlemen of the Council and Assembly. In any measures which may tend to the promotion of education, and the progress of useful knowledge in this state; to the encouragement of industry and frugality, so necessary to the happiness and prosperity of a people—to ensure uniformity in the administration of laws, without which justice cannot be impartially administered, and to give an extensive and lasting influence to the principles of virtue and religion, I shall be happy to co-operate in your council and labours.
As, by our constitution and laws, the powers of the different branches of our government, in appointments in many respects, are to be as well jointly as separately exercised. You will permit me to observe, that it is from among men of principle, virtue and integrity, you will find the best public officers; and it is from such men that the wisest measures of government are adopted, and a steady conformity to the constitution and laws of our country is secured; by a faithful discharge, therefore, of the duties, as well jointly as separately, thus delegated you will exhibit to the good people of this state, an example worthy of their confidence.
Observations of Poulain Granpre, in the Council of 500, made since the late Tornado.
"I second the two motions of Villers," said Poulain "and in order to make you the more sensible of the necessity of the measure proposed, I shall again recall to your remembrance the perfidious petition of Dumas which was so readily seconded by Dumolard, and the consequence of which would have been the recall of Louis XVIII himself.
From the MASSACHUSETTS SPY. THE NEIGHBOR.
"Render to all their dues: Honor to whom honor."
I invite the attention of the numerous patrons of this paper to a subject, which they will notice at least as interesting as innumerable others, which they read in newspaper essays, The Importance and Respectability of the Clergy.
The Great Superintendent of the universe is pleased to carry on his plans, and to effect his purposes, by subordinate instruments and agents. As in the natural world he could, if he thought best, and that with infinite ease, have sustained all creatures, and supplied food for all flesh, by his own immediate agency, without the conducive use of kindly seasons, or any care and toil of the husbandman; so, in the moral world, he could, with equal ease, by his invisible but powerful influence, effectually restrain from sin, inspire with all necessary knowledge, and compel to the performance of duty, and the observance of order, without the power of the magistrate, or the instructions of the preacher.
It is surprising and delightful to observe, what an extensive concatenation of subordinate causes and agents runs through the natural and moral world, every link connecting with others, and necessary in its place. According to this subordination, and the plan which the Divine Contriver has established, day and night, summer and winter, cold and heat, seed time and harvest, rain and sunshine, labor and contrivance, are necessary in the natural world, for the various productions of the earth, for the support and convenience of the animal creation, especially of man.
ever conduces to the support of religion, conduces to the well being of mankind. And what can have a greater tendency to this, than the institution of the gospel ministry, carried into operation and effect?
The American clergy, particularly of New-England, have, with very few exceptions, deferred and maintained the characters of learned, pious and patriotic.
If any should think that an apology is necessary for writing so freely in favor of the clergy, who are well able to defend themselves, I will answer in the words of a celebrated writer: "I have the rather undertaken this business, from a conviction, that when the clergy are despised, they will degenerate; and that with them will decline the morals, the learning, the religion, and the importance of my country."
From the FARMER'S WEEKLY MUSEUM. SHOES.
If common sense were to commence noisy patriot, and preach tyranny in this country, I believe it would begin with the tyranny of fashion, or what word-coiners might call tonocracy.
There are other grievances to be redressed; my toes are this minute complaining of the oppression of tonocracy. Nature was pleased to give me a pair of feet, the very contrail of a Chinese lady's; fashion and the shoe-makers, say I must wear a pair of sharp-toed shoes; they are the ton.

From the Sporting Magazine. Philosophical History of the CANINE GENUS.
The late proceedings in the British senate, respecting a tax on dogs, have let many persons on an enquiry into the nature, and the different species of the canine genus.
The blood hounds were formerly a set of informers, thief takers, and false evidences.
Bull dogs and mastiffs were once butchers and drovers.
Greyhounds and beagles owe their animation to country squires and fox hunters.
There is also a set of sad dogs derived from attorneys and puppies, who were in past time attorneys clerks, shop men to retail haberdashers, men milliners, &c. &c.
Turnspits are animated by old aldermen, who still enjoy the smell of the roast meat.
That drooping, snarling species, stiled Dutch pugs, have been fellows of colleges.

Concord, (Ver.) Oct. 9. On the 20th day of May, in the year of 1794, Sabra Woodberry, aged three years and a half, daughter to Lieut.

Extra of a letter from a gentleman at Natchez to his correspondent in this state, dated August 26, 1797.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
PARIS, September 18.
In the National Council of France held in the Church of Notre Dame on the 22nd Fructidor (Sept. 8) the following were the proceedings.
The President addressing himself to the Fathers of the Council asked their consent in the following words:
"Most Reverend Bishops and Venerable Brothers. Does it please you to proclaim the Catholic dogma respecting the obedience due to the constituted authorities?"
The Fathers rose and answered unanimously "It is our pleasure."
Then the President pronounced the decree, prefacing it with some remarks founded on scripture.
"The Council considering &c. decrees:
Art. I. Every French Catholic owes to the laws of the Republic a sincere and true submission.
II. The Gallican Church admits in the number of its Pastors, but those who shall have manifested their fidelity to the Republic, and who shall have given the guarantees prescribed by the laws.
III. The present decree shall be read and published at all parochial masses in all the churches of France."
At the going out of the Vespers on the same day a letter from the Council to the pastors and faithful of France was read, in which are found the same evangelical principles, accompanied with pressing exhortations to charity, and to the practice of all the moral and christian virtues.
This letter and the decree of the morning were received by the very numerous attendants with that interest, which religious meditation, silence and attention so well evince.
Brion and Limodin administrators of the central office of the canton of Paris yesterday issued a proclamation inviting all virtuous citizens to assist them in repressing immorality, which has risen to a shameful height.
September 10.
The anniversary of the Republic will be celebrated the 1st Vendemiare. Numerous peals from the artillery will be heard the whole morning.
It is said, that the position of the ci-devant Bretagne is extremely alarming. Crime will soon assume there a public character, if the consequences of the events of the 18th Fructidor do not destroy there the effects of the great conspiracy.
The country is terrified by the priests and the ci-devants; almost every where the tythe is caused to be paid, the Emigrants struck out of the list by Cochoy, or sent back by England overflown the country; they take only the precaution not to remain in the cities they formerly inhabited: they exchange residences with each other.
COUNCIL OF ELDERS.
September 17.
Guimaut in the name of a committee proposes the passing of the resolution of the 29th Fructidor (Sept. 15) which annuls the

procedure against certain citizens for alleged disturbances in the primary assemblies held. It was one of the election tricks of the counter-revolutionists, where they could not carry the election by stratagem, to provoke disorder, and then to have those patriots incarcerated who were moved to resistance by their provocations.
The resolution of the 20th prairial respecting divorces is approved. It settles, that in all demands for a divorce which have been or shall be made upon the single plea of incompatibility of temper and character, the public officer shall not pronounce the divorce before six months have elapsed after the date of the last of the three acts of non-conciliation, required by the articles 8, 10, and 11th of the law of the 20th September 1792.
Brofarcar demands leave of absence. Several members oppose it. The Council order a postponement.
The resolution of the 17th Thermidor, which authorizes minor children of which the parents are dead or absent to contract marriage one month after the refusal of the family tribunal to consent, was negatived.
PARIS, Sept. 13. The transported members were to have left yesterday at Orleans. They travel with every possible comfort, except that of a good carriage; their carriage is the same constructed for the victims of Vendome, by the bonnettes gens, who took no great care to make it an easy one. They are moreover allowed every liberty compatible with their situation, even that of writing, which has been somewhat restrained, as there has been some reason to think they endeavoured to make an ill use of it. Orders have been given to have them well treated. However some of their friends have spread a report that they are not allowed to come out of the carriage, even for the necessities of nature, which they are obliged to satisfy by means of a hole. Upon this the aristocracy of the small towns began to set up a cry, and curse the cruelty of the republicans. This report has produced some impression in many places; however, the people in general take very little concern in their fate.
BUONAPARTE AND THE PACHA OF SCUTARI.
VENICE, August 29. The public will not be displeased at being made acquainted with the correspondence which has taken place between General Buonaparte and the Pacha of Scutari, the brother of the celebrated Mahmoud. It preceded the order of protection published in favor of the subjects of the Porte, and particularly the Greeks and Albanians. The following is a copy of the Pacha's letter:
GOD IS GREAT, AND HIS WORKS ARE WONDERFUL. To the General in Chief Buonaparte, protector of the law of Allah—to the Powerful man of the French Republic—to the general of generals, the sublime conqueror of the regions of Italy, the most faithful general in chief, great, merciful and beneficent; to him I address this epistle.
Prince of Generals. May you obtain all your wishes!—May this sincere salutation reach you! May I learn the interesting intelligence of your being in good health! This I desire on account of the friendship that shall for ever unite us, and of which I wish to give constant and most signal proofs.
The friendship which unites the Ottoman Porte to the Republic of France, was always faithful and sincere.
The bond of fate directed by the hand of God, in annihilating the Venetian power, and in subjecting that People to your laws, has established new relations between the Ottoman Porte and France, and the harmony existing between them is augmented by the approximation of the two nations. In this moment, this new union compels me to ask of you a new favour. This favour which I am desirous of obtaining from my sincere friend consists in this—that I with my subjects and my merchants who traffic with Venice to be protected in their persons, and in practice of their commerce—that hospitality be granted to them, and that they be regarded with a friendly eye. Such is my request, and to obtain it I have written this letter, and sent it to the best of my friends. When these few lines reach you, and when you shall have understood them according to the spirit by which they were dictated, I hope that the merchants of Scutari, my subjects, will be favorably received, protected and honored. Assured that I shall obtain what I solicit from you, this letter will, in the mean time, serve to express my gratitude.
God is great, and his works are wonderful! May the friendship that unites us last for ever and ever!
IBRAHIM. Written on the first day of Muhamam, in the 272d year of the Hegira.
General Buonaparte's answer to the Pacha of Scutari.
I have seen with much pleasure the sentiments contained in your letter. The French Republic is the sincere friend of the Ottoman Porte, but it particularly esteems the brave Albanian nation which you govern.
I have learned with sorrow the misfortune which has happened to your illustrious brother. That intrepid warrior merited a fate more worthy of his courage; but he has died the death of the brave!
You will find subjoined the order which I have issued, that the Ottoman flag may be respected in future in the Adriatic. The Turks shall be treated, not merely as other nations, but with a peculiar partiality. On all occasions I shall protect the Albanians, and it will always afford me
pleasure to have opportunities of testifying the esteem and great respect I entertain for your highness.
I beg of you to accept, as a mark of friendship, four boxes of mullets which I have sent to you.
BUONAPARTE.
LONDON, September 14. The Abbe Syeyes and his coadjutors, the Committee of Safety, who have proposed the plan of transportation as a measure of national security, have evidently adopted an old saying of this country. We have heard it given as a toast from the City Chair—"The land we live in; and may those who don't like it, leave it!"
As the Directory have the power of transporting the proscribed Deputies to any place which they may please to prescribe, there is not a doubt but that they will take special care to send them to some distant country, where they will never more be heard of. For certain it is, that if they are suffered to remain in Europe, they will very soon detect the forgery on which the Triumvirate have founded their accusations against them.
How well the French Triumviri have regarded the Letter of the Constitution, of which they profess themselves such zealous defenders, may be judged from the following Extract, under the Section Legislative Power .
111. The Members of the Legislative Body, from the moment of their nomination to the 30th day after the expiration of their functions cannot be brought to trial, but according to the forms prescribed by the following articles:
112. They may, for criminal acts, be seized in flagrant delicto , but notice must be given of it, without delay to the Legislative Body, and the prosecution cannot be continued till after the Council of Five Hundred have proposed the bringing to trial, and the Council of Ancients has decreed it.
113. Except in the case of flagrant delicto , the Members of the Legislative Body cannot be carried before the Officers of Police, or put in a state of arrest before the Council of Five Hundred has proposed the bringing to trial, and the Council of Ancients has decreed it.
114. In the case of the two preceding Articles, a Member of the Legislative Body cannot be carried before any Tribunal but the High Court of Justice.
115. They may be carried before the same Courts for acts of treason, dissipation, manœuvres to overturn the Constitution, and offences against the internal security of the Republic.
Under the 6th head of Executive Power we find the following Article:
145 If the Directory is informed that any conspiracy is plotting against the external or internal safety of the State, it may issue warrants of summonses, or Warrants of Arrest against the presumed authors or accomplices; it may interrogate them, but it is obliged, under the penalties against the crime of arbitrary detention, to send them before the Officer of Police, within the delay of two days, to proceed according to the laws.
N. B. All the Deputies arrested have been ordered to be transported out of the Country, without even the form of a trial, or being told the nature of their offences.
All the Emigrant Writers in London have pledged themselves to prove, that the late triumph of the French Directory will ultimately operate to the establishment of that very system of Government, the seeds of which it was his object to eradicate. The form of the moment they say, will but foster them like those of the thistle, to take root on more expansive ground.
The number of Editors of papers in Paris condemned to transportation, are forty-one; the fate of thirteen remains in suspense. The Redacteur continues the official print.
In order to judge of the clearance which the several Reps taken by the Directory, have made in the Councils, it is only necessary to state, that out of the Council of Elders which consists of 240, there were only 126 to be found, who assembled upon the Dictatorial Mandate of the Directory to pass the Decrees ordered by them, and that of the Council of Five Hundred only 348 could be found to perform the same ungracious and dishonourable task.
LONDON, September 30.
It is expected that the emperor Paul will assist Austria in the new conflict, with a powerful force.
Great changes have been made in the ministry of France, since the triumph of the directory over the constitution.

BOSTON, November 11.
Extract of a letter from captain James Scott, jun. to Messrs. Bambridge, Ansley & Co.
"Since my last of the 12th inst. from Quimper, I am happy to inform you, that after a severe contest, my vessel and cargo was by the tribunal at Quimper cleared the 20th inst. with costs. I am now on my way to Morlaix to prosecute my business, and should my captors not appeal to the court of Cassation, shall as early as I can load and proceed on my voyage, and in the mean time should our commissioners arrive, have no doubt but every thing will be well, at any rate now I expect to hold the property together."
On the road to Morlaix, August 26, '97. N. B. The above took place before the late Tornado—Justice under one party is injustice under another.
CAMILLE JOURDAN.
One of the members sentenced to be banished, but who has concealed himself in an obscure retreat, has sent a very spirited address to his constituents. He says, a horrible crime has been committed:—That the triumvirate of the directory, aided by the armed force, had surrounded the halls of the legislative council, prevented their assembling; and had banished fifty-one of its members:—That a few slaves of the directory, deliberating with bayonets at their breasts, had dared to assume the name of the legislature; and to pass laws:—That a greater wretch of military tyranny never disgraced the annals of history—and of all contemptible forgeries, that was the most contemptible, which charged the immortal defender of the republic, as being at the head of a conspiracy in favor of royalism.
It is known that all the accusations against Carnot, Pichegru, &c. are sheer forgeries. But when you want to beat a dog, it is easy to find a stick.
NEW-YORK, November 12.
Letters received in town by the late arrivals at Boston, appear to contradict, at
least, the stated intentions of the British messengers which have crossed the channel since the return of Lord Malmesbury: for they inform that a full cabinet council had been held, in which it was determined to prosecute the war with vigor.
We fully believe in this account of the disposition of the British court. The circumstances attending Lord Malmesbury's dismissal (it amounts to that) we are certain would produce the above-mentioned resolution.

We are informed that a Gentleman in the county of Windham, who owns a distillery, has undertaken to distill Pumpkins, flattering himself that some kind of liquor can be produced therefrom, which will amply compensate him for the experiment. It is hoped that success will crown his endeavours.

SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, Nov. 17.
Mr. Williams laid, though he understood the Senate had not yet formed a quorum, yet he wished that they might proceed to business. They had already, he observed, appointed a Committee of Revival and Unfinished Business, and he saw no reasonable objection to the appointment of a Committee of Elections, especially as there was business upon which they might immediately act. If the appointment of this Committee were agreed to, he would then move that the House adjourn till Monday, in order that the two Committees might fit tomorrow, and be able to make their reports at their next meeting. Mr. W. moved that a Committee of Elections be appointed.
The fate of the House being taken, it was in favour of the motion, and accordingly a Committee of seven members was appointed, viz. Messrs. Coit, Varnum, J. Williams, Hartley, Dent, Baldwin and Evans.
On motion, the House adjourned till Monday.
Saturday, November 8th.

The Hon. JOHN HENRY, late a Senator in the Senate of the United States, from the state of Maryland, is elected Governor of that state.
Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile house in London, to their correspondent in this city, dated Sept. 7, '97.
"The conduct of the board of commissioners, fitting here for granting compensation to American claimants, for losses and damages sustained by the captures and detention of their property by British cruisers, has been very generous, as far as they have yet proceeded, and we trust they will continue, and that no citizen will have cause to complain of British honor."
"Having received compensation for two vessels and their cargoes, seized by British cruisers, in behalf of our friends in America, the one captured and condemned, and the other brought in here and paid for at prime cost with 10 per cent profit, prior to its being brought before the commissioners, in both of which they have given the claimants the price the goods would have sold for had they arrived at the market they were destined for, with interest thereon, from the time they would probably have been in cash for it, by a regular sale at that market, and all cost of suit incurred in the prosecution of appeals and claims, in one of which costs the claimants average 4 1/2 per cent, per annum, the price for which it would have sold in Nantes, 13 3/4 per barrel, deducting freight, &c. have a clear profit of 100 per cent. to the claimant—All which we have received on presenting the commissioners' certificates at the treasury in bank notes for the claimants."
The Aurora, in characterizing the proscribed deputies, has demonstrated that they were NOT ROYALISTS; but, it is of little importance whether they were or not, since our attention must in future be occupied by the designs of their opponents. That infamous retailer of blasphemy, Surge ut profum , has dub'd them Royalists by a dash of his hasty pen, but the real cause of their obnoxiousness to him, instead of being a predilection for royalty, is their able support of the interests of this country—Hence his joy at their destruction—which he has justified on the most despotic principles! But this tried and proven servant of infidelity needed not to have given us this new evidence of atrocious depravity, in order to a just appreciation of his character. Firm to the interests of Jacobinism, he triumphs in the idea of his old master's again bearing the sceptre of terror: he already revels in delightful massacres, and multiplied proscriptions even in distant imagination make his heart leap for joy. But disorder, turbulence, misrule and murder are going out of date, even in France, however different an aspect may strike the view of the curioy observer. Republicanism, called liberty, and licentious intolence called equality, are fast decaying. "The fashion of this world passeth away." The mad-cap philosophers of France have assassinated Republicanism, and by their infinite excesses and atrocious enormities, effected what the united valour of European chivalry attempted in vain. Slavery is alike odious, in all its forms: or if one shape of it can be more intolerable than another, it is to groan under the bitter gripe of oppression at the moment we are compelled to trumpet forth the blessings of freedom. This is precisely the case in France; the unprincipled Despot in power, triumphantly exults on the superior blessings of liberty and Republicanism, while they are dragoning their slaves into a surrender of one half their property, or seizing them by hundreds, to transport them to inevitable misery and death.

MR. FENNO.
Mr. Bache, and his correspondents appear to be in great distress, least the respect shown to the President of the United States, by the people of every city and town thro' which he passed, on his journey to his own home, and on his return to the seat of government, should be construed into satisfaction with the government, and an approbation of its administration.
As Mr. Bache is but a youth of yesterday, when compared with the old patriots, who first stood forth in defence of the invaded rights of their injured country, against the usurpation of Great-Britain, I who am grown grey with years, and was witness to what I relate can tell him, that the testimonials of respect which have recently been offered to the President of the United States are no novelties to him.
Previous to the meeting of the first Congress in the year 1774, the members from Massachusetts (our venerable President was one) were met, escorted and seated (if you please) in all the principal towns and cities through which they passed; the same public marks of respect were again manifested with increased splendour, at the meeting of Congress in the year 1775, and in the year 1780, when the President was first elected Vice-President, a troop of horse waited upon him at his seat in Braintree, and escorted him from thence, to the Governor's in Boston, accompanied by numbers of citizens; from thence he was attended to Cambridge, by a large and respectable concourse of people, where he was again met by another troop of horse.
Throughout the state of Connecticut he received the same marked attention; the citizens of New-York were not less zealous on that occasion, than they have been to do honor to him as President; troops of horse and respectable citizens went as far as Kingsbridge and escorted him into the city of New-York.
Every person who is acquainted with the republican manners and habits of the President, can witness for him that every kind of show and parade are contrary to his taste and inclination, and that they can be agreeable on no other ground, than as the will of the people, manifesting their determined resolution to support the government and the administrators of it, so long as the administration is conformable to the constitution. As to Mr. Bache's polite allusion to Darby and Joan, I consider that as highly honorable to the domestic and conjugal character of the President, who has never given his children or grandchildren cause to blush for any illegitimate offspring.
The following article is copied from an English paper, entitled The CAMBRIDGE INTELLIGENCER , of August 19, one of the most decided opposition papers in England. From the complexion of the remarks, may be augured what the sensations of the Editors, and the people of all parties must be, at reading the account of the late horrible political tornado.
"One might have hoped in the present situation of politics, in France, policy, if not principle, would have prevented the French from again celebrating the anniversary of that accursed day the TENTH of AUGUST. It is holding out to the Royalists and the Priests, an example which no doubt they are anxious to follow. They have as great a right to overturn the free government of 1797, by perjury, insurrection, and massacre, as the republicans had to overturn the equally free government of 1792, by the same most infernal means. Indeed if any apology could serve for such nefarious conduct, the present fashion have a better right to it, than the former. We cannot now enter into an investigation of the reasons for the late conduct of the Directory, or determine what measures may be necessary to keep the volatile and flagitious Parisians in order, but most certain it is, that the violations of the principles of the constitution, by the Directory, in tampering with the armies, forming them into deliberative assemblies, ordering their march towards the capital, their shuffling explanation justifying the conduct of their commander under the plea of ignorance, awing, if not threatening the grand councils of the republic—these violations are so flagrant, that no one who knows any thing of the matter, will dare to charge LOUIS XVI. with conduct in any degree similar. In both cases we affirm, the constitution ought to have been preserved. The concerns of a nation surely are safer in the hands of a freely chosen representative body, than of any other party or description of men."
From Springer's New-London Oracle.
AMERICAN LEGENDS.
In the early times of the town of N-new-ch, the inhabitants used to make puddings of such an enormous bigness, that it almost exceeds the belief of modern credulists. One of these is reported to have been so large, that when a considerable number of people had eaten on one side, it fell over and killed three men. After this fatal accident, it was enacted, that a pudding should not exceed twenty coons of corn.
In H-dd-m, the people who attended meeting, used to carry apple-pies, (of that species commonly called turn-overs ) with them, for their dinners, of such a length, that when they were eating at one end, the bags would frequently be preying at the other, being out of the reach of the proprietor. Upon this, they passed a law, that no person should carry a pie to meeting so large but that when they were dining at one end, they could keep the hogs away with a six foot staff at the other.
The largest man in England, lately discovered by the Papers, ought to be sent to Paris, to button his waistcoat round the Directory, and convince them that a nation of such fellows as him are not easily to be reduced.
From a London Paper.
One Sunday evening, a young gentleman was taken into custody at Eton, for playing at cards, for which he was flogged, while the master was in the act of flagellation, gave several kicks and struggles, at which the master laid, "Ah, fir, you may fluffe but I'll cut."
The wife of a person at Ratcliffe was, a few days ago, delivered of a child without arms. The mother being told of the imperfection, after the first shock, exclaimed, "Well, thank God, I've one consolation—Mr. Pitt can never make it take out a license for wearing gloves!"

THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time sub- sisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved; but, not as M. Slough intimates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the sub- ject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last, a recital of which is now deem- ed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justified in attaching him- self to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippens- burg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous supports the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witsmer, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, at- tention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the pub- lic can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippensburg. The fare as hitherto established. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Sun- bury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Mon- days. WILLIAM GEER. Lancaster, Jan. 27. 1797. N. B. This Line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferris, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, pro- ceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder in Harrisburg every Wednes- day morning, on the same evening, arrives at Pa- trick Cochran's in Shippensburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday; proceeding the same routing daily as in its tour from Philadel- phia. mwf

The commodiousness of the house, its central position, and the largeness of the stables, make it every way suitable for a tavern, for which it has always been considered as a capital stand.
