Every person who shall counterfeit the stamps, make use of or vend them knowing them to be counterfeit, shall be subject to a fine of 1000 dollars, and 7 years imprisonment.
AN ACT OF THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT, For carrying into execution the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, concluded between his Majesty and the United States of America. [4th July, 1797.] (Concluded from Tuesday's Gazette.)  XVII. And whereas, by the said fifteenth article of the treaty before mentioned, it is further agreed, that the British government does reserve to itself the right of imposing on American vessels entering into the British ports in Europe, a tonnage duty equal to that which shall be payable by British vessels in the ports of America: And whereas it is thought expedient for the present to exercise the power reserved in the said article so far only as relates to imposing a tonnage duty on American ships entering the ports of his majesty's dominions in Europe, equal to the excess of the duty payable in the ports of the United States by British ships beyond that which is payable by American ships entering the same ports; be it therefore enacted, That, from and after the fifth day of January, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight, there shall be raised, levied, collected, and paid, unto and for the use of his majesty, his heirs and successors, a tonnage duty, at and after the rate of two shillings of good and lawful money of Great-Britain, for each and every ton burthen of every ship or vessel belonging to the inhabitants of the United States of America, coming or arriving within the limits of any port of Great-Britain, and that the tonnage of every such ship or vessel shall, in case of any doubt or dispute as to the same, be ascertained by admeasurement, in the mode and manner directed by an act passed in the twenty sixth year of his present majesty's reign, intitled "an act for the further increase and encouragement of shipping and navigation."  XVIII. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it shall and may be lawful to and for any officer or officers of his majesty's customs to stop and detain every ship or vessel liable to the payment of the said duty, until the said duty is paid as aforesaid; and in case payment thereof shall not be made for the space of three calendar months after the arrival of such ship or vessel at any port in this kingdom, it shall and may be lawful to and for the commissioners of his majesty's customs in England and Scotland respectively, or any three or more of them, to cause such ship or vessel, and her masts, apparel, and furniture, to be sold publicly to the best bidder, and the produce thereof to be applied first, to the charge thereof shall arise by such detention and sale, next, to the said duty imposed by this act, and the overplus to be paid to the proprietor of such ship or vessel, or other person duly authorized by such proprietor to receive the same.  XIX. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the tonnage duty hereby imposed shall be paid into the hands of the proper officer of his majesty's customs, at the respective ports or places where such duty shall become due and payable, and such duty shall be under the management of the commissioners of his majesty's customs in England and Scotland respectively.  XX. And, to the intent that the said duty may be answered and paid, be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That no officer of his majesty's customs whatever, or his deputy or clerk, at any of the said ports or places in Great Britain, where such duty shall become due and payable, shall, from and after the said 5th day of January, 1798, take or receive any entry outwards, cocket or report outwards, for any ship or vessel liable or subject to the said duty, nor shall such ship or vessel be suffered or permitted to depart from any such port or place until the said duty shall be paid, pursuant to the directions of this act, to the respective collectors or other principal officers of his majesty's customs, authorised to receive the same, and until the respective master or owner of any such ship or vessel, subject to the payment of such duty, shall shew to such respective officer a receipt for the same.  XXI. And be it further enacted, That all the monies from time to time arising by the several new and additional duties by this act imposed as aforesaid, (the necessary charges of raising and accounting for the same respectively excepted) shall, from time to time, be paid into the receipt of his majesty's exchequer at Westminster, and the said money so paid in as aforesaid shall be carried to and made part of the consolidated fund.  XXII. And whereas, by the 13th article of the said treaty of amity, commerce and navigation between his Britannic majesty and the United States of America, it is, among other things, provided, that the vessels belonging to the citizens of the United States of America, shall be admitted and hospitably received in all the seaports and harbours of the British territories in the East Indies, and that the citizens of the said United States may freely carry on a trade between the said territories and the said United States, in all articles of which the exportation or importation respectively, to or from the said territories, shall not be entirely prohibited; and it is further provided, that the said trade shall be carried on under the regulations contained in the said article; and it is expressly agreed that the vessels of the United States shall not carry any of the articles exported by them from the said British territories to any port or place, except to some port or place in America where the same shall be unladed, and that such regulations shall be adopted by both parties, as shall from time to time be found necessary to enforce the due and faithful observance of the above recited stipulation; be it therefore enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for the ships belonging to the citizens of the United States to carry on the said trade to the British territories in the East Indies, and to import into, and export from the said territories, all articles of which the importation or exportation respectively to or from the said territories, shall not be entirely prohibited, in the manner and with the privileges and advantages, and subject to the restrictions and regulations contained and expressed in the said 13th article of the said treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, any law to the contrary notwithstanding, and particularly notwithstanding any provisions contained in an act passed in the twelfth year of the reign of his late majesty king Charles the second, intitled "An act for the encouraging and increasing of shipping and navigation."  XXIII. And be it further enacted, That all acts done, or engagements entered into by the subjects of the United States, or of his majesty, in pursuance of the said thirteenth article, shall be deemed and taken to be lawfully done, provided the same shall have been done or entered into since the final ratification of the said treaty, and provided the same might have been done and entered into agreeably to the said thirteenth article, any law to the contrary notwithstanding, and the same shall be deemed and taken to be, in all respects, and to all intents and purposes whatsoever, as if the same had been done, entered into, or had taken place subsequent to the passing of this act, any prohibition to the contrary notwithstanding; and no penalty, forfeiture, or disability, of any kind or nature whatsoever, shall be incurred or sued for, for or on account of any such acts or engagements.  XXIV. And whereas, by the ninth article of the said treaty, it was agreed that British subjects, who then held lands in the territories of the said United States, and American citizens who then held lands in the dominions of his majesty, should continue to hold them according to the nature and tenor of their respective states and titles therein, and might grant, sell, or devise the same to whom they should please, in like manner as if they were natives, and that neither they nor their heirs or assigns should, so far as might respect the said lands and the legal remedies incident thereto, be regarded as aliens; be it therefore enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all lands, tenements and hereditaments, in the kingdom of Great Britain, or the territories and dependencies thereto belonging, which on the said twenty-eighth day of October one thousand seven hundred and ninety-five (being the day of the exchange of the ratifications of the said treaty between his majesty and the said United States) were held by American citizens, shall be held and enjoyed, granted, sold and devised, according to the stipulations and agreements contained in the said article; any law, custom or usage to the contrary notwithstanding.  XXV. Provided always, That nothing herein contained shall extend, or be construed to extend, to give any right, title, or privilege to any person, not being a natural born subject of this realm, which such person would not have been entitled to if this act had not been made, other than and except such rights, titles, and privileges as shall be necessary for the true and faithful performance of the stipulations in the said article contained, according to the true intent and meaning thereof, or to give to any person, not being either a natural born subject of this realm, or a citizen of the said United States, any right, title or privilege, to which such person would not have been entitled if this act had not been made.  XXVI. And whereas by the said treaty it is further agreed, that his majesty and the United States, on mutual requisitions by them respectively, or by their respective ministers or officers authorized to make the same, will deliver up to justice all persons who, being charged with murder or forgery committed within the jurisdiction of either, shall seek an asylum within any of the countries of the other, provided that this shall only be done on such evidence of criminality as, according to the laws of the place where the fugitive or person so charged shall be found, would justify his apprehension and commitment for trial, if the offence had been committed, and that the expense of such apprehension and delivery shall be borne and defrayed by those who make the requisition and receive the fugitive; be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, That in case requisition shall at any time be made, in pursuance of and according to the said article, for the delivery of any person charged with murder or forgery, committed within the jurisdiction of the said United States, it shall be lawful for one of his Majesty's principal secretaries of state, by warrant under his hand and seal, to signify that such requisition has been made, and to require all justices of the peace, and other magistrates and officers of justice, to govern themselves accordingly, and to be aiding and assisting in apprehending the person so charged, and committing such person, for the purpose of being delivered up to justice, according to the provisions in the said article, and thereupon it shall be lawful for any justice of the peace, or other person having power to commit for trial persons charged with offences against the laws of this kingdom, to examine upon oath any person or persons touching the truth of such charge, and upon such evidence as according to the laws of this kingdom, would justify the apprehension and commitment for trial of the person so charged, if the offence wherewith he shall be so charged had been committed in this kingdom, it shall be lawful for such justice of the peace, or other person having power to commit as aforesaid, to commit the person so charged to his Majesty's gaol, there to remain, until delivered pursuant to such requisition as aforesaid, and thereupon it shall be lawful for one of his majesty's secretaries of state, by warrant under his hand and seal, to order the person so committed to be delivered to such person or persons as shall be authorized by the said United States to receive the person so committed, and convey such person to the dominions of the said United States, to be tried for the offence with which such person shall be so charged; and if the person so charged shall escape out of any custody to which he shall be committed as aforesaid, it shall be lawful to re-take such person in the same manner as any person charged with any offence against the laws of this kingdom may be retaken upon an escape, so that such person so charged as aforesaid may be effectually delivered up to justice, according to the true intent and meaning of the said article of the said treaty.  XXVII. And be it further enacted, that this act shall continue in force, so long as the said treaty between his Majesty and the United States of America shall continue in force, and no longer.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. SPEECH OF MERLIN, AT HIS INSTALLMENT AS ONE OF THE DIRECTORS, TO HIS COLLEAGUES. "Citizen Directors, "In the moment in which I am about to take a share in your labours, a thousand confused sentiments arise in my mind: in ordinary circumstances the duties which I am called on to execute are so important of themselves, that it is difficult to think of them without uneasiness. What then must be my alarm, when I consider them in all the additional splendour which you have added to them.  "Flattery can, without doubt, never approach the circle of the directory; but when truth does you honour, he who is to be your colleague ought to be suffered to speak it.  "In the first moments of your high administration you found the republic in the most deplorable situation: its financial resources appeared entirely exhausted; a paper without any value represented the public fortune; all the arms of industry were bound; all the channels of commerce blocked up: some powers had been detached from the coalition, but it still wore a formidable appearance, and seemed to have made up, by extraordinary efforts, for the loss of some of its leading members. Civil war raged in the departments of the east; and, in the interior, the public spirit, gradually debased, threatened republican institutions with almost certain ruin; the enemies of the people were become their magistrates; the sword of national justice had given way to the poniard of revenge; the laws were impotent, and their organs mute; emigrant rebels, and men condemned to death, had actually taken their seats in the senate; the emigrants reigned in the republic, and the republicans were forced to emigrate.  "Things were in this situation when you took on your hands the reins of authority, and see what is their present situation. Commerce has resumed its activity, industry is again animated, and the earth has given up all the treasures which misrule had buried in it. Abundance everywhere prevails in our cities; the arts again smile at their regeneration; civil war is extinguished; on the Rhine, on the Adige, on the banks of Oglio, our triumphant armies have everywhere carried with them victory, and victory has dictated peace to the expiring coalition; the fruitful seeds of liberty have been scattered over the neighbouring countries, their reproduction and their multiplication will be your work. You have repressed the factions, and on comparing with our former troubles, the situation in which we have lived for the two last years, every man who has a sense of justice, even though he has not subdued his prejudices to his real interest, is forced to do you homage, and to agree, that you have terminated the revolution.  "Your triumphs, however, citizens directors, your courage, the good which you have done, and that which you have attempted to do, have all of them been nearly rendered of no avail, by the attempts of the conspirators whom you have overturned. Oh shame! oh infamy! oh accumulated baseness and meanness! The friends of kings were become the legislators of the republic; traitors were engaged in deliberations with you; they would have sold the honor of their country, the interests of the state, and the blood of all patriots to a stranger; and liberty and the republic would soon have been at an end; but you were at your posts, and liberty and the republic were saved.  "Immortal day of the 4th of September, you will be famous among the days of the French revolution; and it is to you that the whole glory of it belongs. What, without the assistance of the executive directory and its faithful representatives, driven by violence from the tribune, defamed by calumny, and impotent even by their virtue, what, I say, what could good citizens do in opposition to those sanguinary and abominable laws, which forbade the most pacific meetings, which armed against them infamous cut-throats, which recalled emigrants to every part of France, which deprived the purchasers of national property of their most legitimate acquisitions? The legislative body is now become republican; laws are come to console, to secure, and to encourage citizens; no disorder, no act of violence has disgraced your victory; it has been pure as your intentions; the 4th of September might have been a day of battle, it has turned out a day of rejoicing.  "Honour then is due to your wisdom and your courage; honour to the representatives of the nation, who have felt, that between your cause and theirs there was no difference; and honour to you, the brave companions of Buonaparte and of Hoche, Angereau, and Cherin, names dear to republicans and to liberty; and to you, intrepid soldiers, so worthy of the chiefs who command you, and so worthy to obey them; honour to you, ye conquering republicans, virtuous and proud people, who have replied with so much wisdom and moderation to the vile calumnies of those who were not worthy of knowing you; you have shown yourselves calmly strong, and coolly confident of your power. Your enemies have felt it; nor were you ever more terrible to them than in that majestic repose which left your energy to be imagined, and dispensed you from the necessity of shewing it.  "To me, citizens directors, it is highly honourable to have soon to embrace as colleagues those whom my country now hails as its favours. It is too, particularly agreeable to me, to recollect the first moments in which together we brandished the first arms for the cause of liberty. Yes, from the first dawn of the revolution, while one of you was laying the foundation by genius, I

erifices, and by a noble disinterestedness for the fate which was one day to call him to concur in the foundation of the republic, and to become one of its first magistrates, I had the honour of sitting with his two other colleagues in that assembly, which began so much without accomplishing any thing; and with a just degree of pride I speak it, the people then considered us as their firmest friends:—we have justified, and we will justify that opinion.
"Yes, citizens directors, I am proud of being joined to you—of being able to see at home those qualities which distinguish you as magistrates; as your private virtues, that mild philanthropy which is the culture of science and the simple taste for nature, the attendant on a lofty and sympathetic soul, in one; in another, that firmness of character, that rapidity of thought, that unshaken ardor, which is never stopped by obstacles, and which sees in difficulties only the means of glory and a source of triumphs; and abroad, that brilliant courage and those affable manners which temper the exercise of authority, and command attachment while they ensure respect."
"What shall I say to you, citizens directors, and what can I bring into this society of virtues and talents! A zeal, industry, and unbounded devotion, and constant efforts to deserve your esteem, by labouring, like you, for the republic."
"Republic! May this sacred name—this name which ruffians have dared to tarnish, become the object of universal esteem. May its institutions be honored—May it be beloved by its children as it is feared by its enemies; may the intimate union of its chief magistrates, and their unanimous agreement with legislators, bind still more strongly the bonds which it has attempted to divide; and may the coalition of all means and of all efforts at length realize that with which is in the bosom of all good men—that of the tranquillity of the republic within, and peace with its external enemies, honorable, solid, and such as the innumerable triumphs which I see on every side of us, point out to us to require."
"Full of these sentiments, and convinced of the necessity of adding to the conviction which you already must feel of their sincerity, the additional pledge of a solemn oath, which is nothing to a rascal, but a religious duty to an honest man; and in order to prove my inviolable submission to the laws of the republic,"
"I swear hatred to royalty and anarchy and attachment and fidelity to the constitution of the 3d year."
Citizen Francois de Neufchateau then said, "CITIZEN DIRECTORS, "After what citizen Merlin has said, I could only repeat expressions which I should be fearful of weakening. These sentiments have been in my heart since my first infancy. Brought up in the school of philosophy, the revolution found me ready to embrace its doctrine, and to maintain it. I am well convinced, that a citizen ought to live and die for the republic, that he owes himself entirely and without reserve to it, and that it is in the republic that we ought to place and consecrate, in some sort, all our wishes and all our hopes. This profession of faith being also yours, citizen directors, I am happy in partaking your labors, as I entertain the same ideas and have shared the same dangers. It is a flattering circumstance to me to find here three distinguished members of the constituent assembly, and one of my colleagues in the legislative assembly, with whom I remember to have run other dangers on the 10th of August, 1792. I am penetrated as you are with this immutable principle (of which the 4th of September affords a sublime application) that the best means of maintaining a government and of rendering it stable, is to bring it back constantly to the principles on which it has been founded. It is therefore necessary that France and its government should constantly return to republican principles."
"A witness of the purity of your intentions and of the greatness of your courage, and admiring those virtues at this great conjuncture, I am happy in the choice which constitutes me a member of the executive directory, and which unites me intimately with the favours of my country. It is with joy, then, and from my heart, that I take before you the oath of hatred to royalty and anarchy, and of inviolable attachment to the republic and of fidelity to the constitution of the 3d year."
The president of the directory replied to them,
"Citizens Colleagues, "It is agreeable for me to be the organ of the executive directory, to express to you how happy they are to see you among the number of their members."
"They have at length passed those days of anguish in which mistrust and discord prevailed in our circle. The most agreeable confidence is about to prevail among us, or rather already prevails, and nothing can disturb it. Whatever difference may be in our pleasures and in our habits, our harmony will not be less perfect. We all know one another, and we are all convinced that each of us energetically wishes for the republic, and the constitution of the 3d year, which is the pledge of it; that every one of us is desirous of seeing virtue prevail, of inspiring all hearts with the love of the country; that every one of us, in short has no other ambition than that of seeing France free and happy within, and great and honourable without."
"May this affecting agreement serve as an example to all Frenchmen—May all republicans rally, and the shades of opinion no longer render them the sport of aristocracy & fanaticism—may terrorism, which one party affect to fear, and which the other would really render terrible, in order to drive us into the arms of Royalty, no longer serve as a pretence to stop the progress of public spirit—may government meet with confidence, and the French persuade themselves that this dreadful system will never revive—"
may those violent men, whose excesses created perhaps as many enemies to the revolution as the destruction of abuses, be sensible for once, that energy of soul, and vigor of means are adverse both to oppression and atrocity; while on the other hand, weak and timid men may henceforth cease to calumniate decided republicans—may they know that wisdom is as far removed from weakness and pusillanimity, as from excesses and cruelty? in a word, may all parties unite themselves on truly patriotic principles, by the principle of those who know how to unite great wisdom of conduct with great vigor of character, an ardent passion for justice, with an unbounded attachment to liberty: an almost restless vigilance for the support of the republic, with a great love for peace; and a humanity and compassion, with the severity necessary to repress vice in general, and the enemies of liberty in particular."
"It is by this agreement of all parties, by their union with the friends of liberty, whose true character we have delineated, and by the practical effects of their maxims, that we shall see the republic consolidated, and the constitution of the third year strengthened beyond the possibility of being shaken."
"To this object all our wishes and all our labors tend: and we never thought our hopes better founded than since we have known who were the associates, and whom the wisdom of the legislative body had chosen for us."
A new discharge of artillery announced the installation of the new directors.
A message was then sent to each of the councils, advising them of the installation of citizens Merlin and Francois (de Neufchateau).

NEW-YORK, November 10.
SCOTLAND.
Considerable riots have taken place in that part of the British dominions in consequence of the enforcement of the Military Act. They have however been quieted, as will appear from the following:
At a general meeting of the lord lieutenant of the county of Haddington, and his deputies, held at Haddington the 7th day of September, 1797.
The lord lieutenant and his deputies take this first opportunity of their being convened in a general meeting, to express their warmest acknowledgments to the military, both officers and privates, who were employed under the civil power, in restoring peace and good order in the late unhappy and atrocious riot at Tranent, upon Tuesday the 29th of August last, for their long and patient forbearance at the commencement of the riot, and for their temperate, firm, and manly conduct in suppressing it: and the meeting, without detracting from the merits of the other officers and privates employed on that occasion, beg leave to express their marked approbation of the conduct of captain Tindal, of the Cinque Ports cavalry, and of captain Price, of the Pembrokehire cavalry, for their judicious conduct in that affair; and the meeting recommend to the lord lieutenant to wait upon lord Hawkesbury, the commanding officer of the Cinque Ports cavalry, to express their sentiments, to request that his lordship will take the earliest and most proper mode of communicating these sentiments to the officers and privates of his own corps, and of conveying them to the commanding officer of the Pembroke cavalry; and for the alacrity with which the detachment of that corps marched to support the laws and the constitution of their country.
(Signed) TWEEDDALE, Lord Lieutenant.
PARIS NOT TRANQUIL.
The Chouans of Paris do not yet consider themselves as subdued: on the 8th of September, they insulted the citizens at the Theatre of Moliere, but they prudently desisted their provocations. Yesterday, at a tavern, the representative Lehardy, who took such an active part in bringing about the revolution of the 4th, was threatened and attacked by two Chouans, who behaved so ill that he was obliged to seize one of them by the collar, in order to conduct him before a justice of the peace. But his comrade having taken flight, he succeeded in extricating himself, and got off. If the police do not take care, the cut-throats under the command of Pichegru will soon revenge their general in disgrace, by destroying those men who have been the most active in overthrowing royalty.—Annales Politiques.
PARIS, September 12.
PAPERS
Alluded to in the address of the council to the departments and the armies. The following papers were not stuck up, but were printed and distributed:
(No. 1.) Extract of the correspondence seized at Le Maistre's.
"Mr. Bayard, who will deliver this, is sent by the English ambassador, but you may place great confidence in him. Assist him with your advice and otherwise—it is for the good cause, and Mr. Bayard is a true and loyal royalist."
"I embrace you with all my heart." "E. D. V."
(No. 2.)
"I am informed from Verona of the 8th, but not by a person of the council, that the king will leave that place soon. Marshal de Castries and Mr. Flachauden say nothing."
(No. 3.)
"The priests are active in the distribution of the newspapers, and all for the love of God.—This body of men are become singularly disinterested. I should be very sorry that the intrigue which is renewing for the princess royal should succeed; for if it should, they would have an hostage; that is my apprehension, and that is the reason why I have insisted upon forty-nine always remaining free. Barthelemy is ill, and very melancholy, and I should not be surprised if he is affected by remorse. I have informed them, that if they choose, I will found him, to see if he would obey an order from the king to quit the place, and to deliver to the person appointed all the papers relative to the embassy. They did not answer me, because they never answer.—Farwell."
(No. 4.)
"The opinion of the king and of the princes in the interior, &c. &c. you perceive ought not to be known."
"Above all things, let us not speak of the perfidy of the English or of Pitt, but only some slight disapprobation or advice. All the rest of the politics may be laid open; the intrigues of Vienna and of Doucet may all be discovered."
(No. 5.)
"You ask me many things. Without doubt you wish to establish a correspondence with the armies of the coast; and you want to know what is passing in the committee and in the armies—that is very well. This is a great work, but it would be nothing if the means to accomplish it were sufficient. I would then exert myself; but I will tell you one thing, and your constitution will surely do it, that is, that they should obtain nothing but by fair means."
(No. 6.)
"Will the emperor penetrate into Alsace as a conqueror? or will he conquer it for the king of France?—I confess to you, that I believe nothing; for it will be necessary to discover his plan beforehand. This may cause the campaign to fail, but may effect the dispositions of the primary assemblies; and when the enemy enters upon the republican territory, the convention will turn their attention from any beneficial pursuits, to induce them to oppose the enemy, who can answer, that the court of Vienna, which is acquainted with the disposition of the interior, may not be anxious that it should not be manifested in a manner that may not correspond with its views."
(No. 7.)

The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11.
Yesterday, about two o'clock in the afternoon, the President of the United States arrived in town, after an absence of between three and four months. He was met at Frankford, and escorted to town, by the three volunteer troops of horse of this city, commanded by captains Dunlap, Singer, and Morrell, and the county troop commanded by captain Torrell. On alighting from his carriage, he was welcomed by the huzzas of a crowd of citizens assembled on the occasion, and a federal salute from a detachment of the artillery. The Heads of Departments immediately waited upon him with their congratulations on his safe return to the Seat of Government.
Peals were rung from the Bells of Christ Church and continued thro' the day.
The Aurora account of the arrival of the President of the United States, is in unison with the general tenor of the factions publications in that Paper, A GROSS MISREPRESENTATION.
The number of Horses was truly respectable, and on no occasion has there been a more numerous muster of several of the corps.
The Federal character of our city was perfectly vindicated from the aspersions of the Aurora by the truly respectable and patriotic reception of the Chief Magistrate of the Union yesterday, any thing in that FOREIGN GAZETTE to the contrary notwithstanding.
The following members of Congress are in town, Messrs. Harper, Machin, Macon, Sprigg and Dent of the House of Representatives—and
Mr. Reed and Mr. Lawrance of the Senate.
THOMAS TILLINGHURST, Esq. is elected Member of the House of Representatives of the United States, in the room of E. R. POTTER, Esq. resigned.
Letters from Baltimore by this day's mail inform, that the ship President from London, with a very valuable cargo, is taken off the capes by a French privateer. The people were landed from the ship on the coast by the privateer.
FRENCH MODE OF MAKING LEGAL ADJUDICATIONS.
Extract of a letter from a Merchant in Baltimore.
"I have lately heard of the condemnation of one of our vessels and cargoes, value at least 16,000 dollars—she was bound to a French port, with every necessary paper that a vessel could have; was taken into St. Jago in Cuba; the capt. sent to Cape Francois for trial, where condemnation was passed, for want of papers, they having been destroyed by the prize master, or captain of the privateer."

At the Federal Bluff Furnace, In Carver—for Slitting, Plating, and Rolling MILLS. SEYMOUR'S Patent Rollers. THEIR superiority consists in being free from holes and honey-combed places, which are commonly found in rollers cast in sand, or clay moulds. These patent rollers are cast in iron moulds, previously heated, and will be found to be more dense, solid and durable than any rollers heretofore used. Another important advantage they have over others, is, that the necks require no turning, but are immediately fit for use, and from their accuracy, run with less friction, and require less water to make them perform their work. They may be had by application to the Patentee in Plymouth, of Gen. Nathaniel Goodwin, or of Messrs. Thatcher and Hayward. Boston, Aug. 31. Sept. 19. 56f.

Slough intimates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the subject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last, a recital of which is not now deemed 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 be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching himself to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Skippenburg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witmer, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, attention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the public 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 Skippenburg.

THE proprietor has leave to inform the public, that they have established a Stage between Philadelphia, Aston, Bath, Hampton, Speedwell, and Martha Furnace, Wading River fitting mill, and the town of Tuckerton, in New-Jersey, to go once a week, and are provided with good horses, a comfortable carriage, and a careful driver, for the conveyance of the mail, passengers, and goods. The Stage will start every Tuesday, at 10 o'clock, A. M. from Mr. Daniel Cooper's Ferry, and lodge that night at Joel Batin's, at Longacoming; and on or before Friday, at 6 o'clock, P. M. arrive at Caldc Ewant's, innkeeper, in Tuckerton, distant from the city 54 miles, (from the Atlantic 6, and from the East Crossing Plains 7 miles) where are good accommodations for travellers, and where are commodious and safe passage-boats provided to convey passengers to Capt. William Warington's wharf, on Tucker's Island, adjoining the Atlantic, where are good accommodations, and a convenient place to embark; the sportsman who wishes to regale himself with fishing, may at this place be highly gratified, there being at almost every season of the year, fish in abundance.—The Stage on its return, starts from the aforesaid C. Ewant's in Tuckerton, every Tuesday, at 6 o'clock, A. M. breakfasting at John Batin's, at Wading River Bridge, lodge that night at Longacoming, and at 1 o'clock, P. M. on Wednesday, arrive at the aforesaid Cooper's Ferry. It is presumed that no route of an equal distance will be less expensive, or furnish the traveller with a greater variety of amusement, as he will not only have a pleasant sail to the Atlantic from Tuckerton, but have the curiosity of seeing on the road thither a number of capital furnaces and forges, and one fitting mill, in complete order, and at work; gentlemen, too, who are owners, or factors, of any of the aforesaid iron works, are solicited to encourage and support this Stage (by which they can be so well accommodated) and the continuance of which will much depend on their aid. The rates of passengers and baggage are as follows:—For a passenger from the aforesaid Daniel Cooper's Ferry to Tuckerton, including 14 lb. of baggage, Two Dollars; for way passengers per mile, Four Cents—150 lb. of baggage equal to a passenger. Postage of letters, newspapers, &c. will be agreeably to law. N. B. The mail crosses from the Old Ferry. THOMAS WARDLE & Co. Tuckerton, Sept. 28. Oct. 5. 2awtf
The Norfolk Mail STAGE. THIS Stage starts from the GEORGE Tavern, at the corner of Second and Arch Streets, in Philadelphia, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, at 3 o'clock, in the morning; arrives at Dover the first day, at Snowhill the second day, at Northampton Court House the third day, and on the morning of the fourth day the passengers find a safe and comfortable packet to convey them to Norfolk. A packet leaves Norfolk for Northampton ferry, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Stage starts from this ferry for Philadelphia, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday; puts up at Snowhill the first night, at Dover the 2d night, and arrives in Philadelphia in the evening of the third day. The distance on this route, between Philadelphia and Norfolk, is 20 miles less than on any stage route between those places. Too much cannot be said in favor of the road, which is most excellent indeed. The proprietors will willingly engage to return the whole fare to any passenger, who, after having performed this route, will say that he ever travelled in a stage for the same distance, so good a road in America.
