Just received and for Sale, By Wm. Y. BIRGH, Stationer, No. 17, South Second Street, THE FOLLOWING VALUABLE MEDICINES.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. A long eulogium on the virtues of this medicine is unnecessary, as the money will be returned if patient is not relieved—it never having failed in many thousand cases; not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than a bottle, and many have not half a bottle. Hahn's Anti-bilious Pills. DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE German Corn Plaister. An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
The Genuine Persian Lotion. So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and caustic minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparallelled efficacy in preventing and removing cutaneous blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly, freckles, pimples, pits after small-pox, it demulcent, reductive, furfur, scetters, ring worm, sun burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mild-ly, without impeding the natural, insensible perspiration, which is essential to health—yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and smooth, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth; never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and a handsome one more so.
Sovereign Ointment for the Itch. Warranted an infallible and immediate cure, at once using; being the most speedy, effectual and pleasant remedy ever offered to the public, and for the satisfaction of the timidorous, the proprietor maketh oath, that this ointment does not contain a single particle of mercury or any other pernicious ingredient in its composition, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women and on infants newly born.
Patent Indian Vegetable Specific, For the cure of Venereal Complaints of every description. An extensive trial of near four years, has proved the vegetable specific to be effectual in expelling the venereal virus, however deeply rooted in the constitution, and has restored health to many who have been brought to the verge of the grave by the improper administration of mercury. Within this period upwards of eight thousand patients have experienced its salutary effects. With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time and with the least inconvenience possible.
HAMILTON'S Worm destroying Lozenges, Which have, within nine months past, relieved upwards of EIGHTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS of all ages, in various complaints arising from worms and from foulness or obstructions in the Stomach and bowels. This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title to commonly complained of, as operating with a degree of violence, sufficient, not only to kill worms, but sometimes to endanger the patient's life; on the contrary, a peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being fitted to every age and constitution, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the Stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
At the place of sale may be seen many remarkable cures of ulcers, the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application—not being performed in Europe, nobody knows where—but at home. Persons wishing to procure any of the above medicines, must apply ONLY as above—and likewise observe, that the signature of Lee & Co. (who are appointed the general agents for the United States) is pasted on the outside of each, without which they cannot be genuine.
At the above place may be likewise had, GOWLAND'S LOTION.

Foreign Intelligence.
HAMBURG, November 7.
COMMERCIAL.
We beg leave to rectify the erroneous statement of several English and continental prints respecting the bankruptcy of the great banking house of Wolff, Levin, Popert and Co. in Hamburg. Private letters often mention temporary stoppages of payments as bankruptcies, which is very injurious to the affairs of such houses.
Not only the above house, but three more respectable ones, obliged to stop payment, have been placed under administration, and their business continues as usual.
The Commercial Journal of Paris mentions the failure of Messrs. Rucker and Westphalen, which we hereby think ourselves likewise obliged to contradict, and to beg of our readers henceforth not to place too much confidence in reports of this kind, unless they are confirmed in this Journal.
The merchants of Hamburg having of late been supplied with cash and bullion, public credit and confidence begin to revive on the exchange, and we flatter ourselves that trade will soon resume its wonted activity, notwithstanding some failures have taken place at Berlin, Frankfort &c. which might be expected as the unavoidable consequence of those which happened at Hamburg. The great merchants of London, Liverpool and Bristol, having weathered the storm of the sudden and dangerous fall of merchandise, even beyond all expectation, the clouds on the commercial horizon of Europe may now be looked upon as dispersed, and by next spring, trade and navigation, will, no doubt, flourish again, on a basis more solid, and to an extent more important than ever.

BRUSSELS, October 31.
Four of the principal commercial houses here have declared themselves in a state of insolvency, within these few days; the house of Walkiers and Vlietingsen is of the number. Every thing seems to threaten us with other bankruptcies of still greater consequence. Commerce is in a state of consternation—this blow is fatal to the remains of our national industry. On the other hand some rich contractors, almost the whole of whose fortunes are realized, in order to exclude the payment of the tax of 120,000 livres, as their quota of the loan of one hundred millions, have also declared themselves in a state of insolvency.
PARIS, October 29.
They are working with increased activity than ever in the ports of Dunkirk and Ostend, and in the West Scheldt, to arm light vessels. Admiral Cataguer, it is said, is going to return to the mouth of the Scheldt with his fleet, which was assembled on the Zuyder Zee, for the protection of the coasts, and the coasting trade, which suffers great interruption from the English cruisers.
It has been observed, that no mention was made of the Emperor in the capitulation of Rome and Civita Vecchia. It is supposed that the coalesced powers intend to give Rome to the King of Naples, and that the English will keep some port in Italy.
The town of Zurich has paid the contribution which has been laid on it. It has obtained a considerable statement of it from Gen. Massena.
Gen. Thureau obtained some advantages in the Valais, on the 11th October. More than 2,000 prisoners have been sent into the back country.

If any MERCHANT or SHIP OWNER wishes for any reason to be acquainted with all the Shoemakers, Grocers, Tailors, Bakers, Butchers, Shipwrights, Shipcarpenters, Ship Riveters, Mast makers, Boat builders, Block makers, Sail makers, Riggers, Caulkers, Sawyers, Millers, or any Tradesman, he needs only look to the Index to the TRADE, and he will be referred to the pages which contain all the names and residences of those who follow it.
If a HOUSE-KEEPER wants quickly to find a Baker, a Cake Baker, Sconce-maker, White Washer, Washer, China Mender, School-master or Mistress, Glazier, Paper Hanger, Painter, Color-Copper, Locksmith, Blacksmith, Bricklayer, Plasterer or Joiner. He can also turn to the Index and be referred to the TRADE in question. In like manner can the LADIES find out the residences and names of all the Mantua makers, Bonnet makers, Stay makers, Dyers and Nurses, Weavers, or a STRANGER the most convenient Boarding House, Hair Dresser, Hatter, Taylor, Trunk maker, &c. Nor is the utility of the work confined to those alone; for any Tradesman may trace at once the names and residences of the Masters and Journey-men in his own line. In short it is more or less Useful to almost every Class of Citizens—And the Editor trusts that such an Expensive and laborious Undertaking will meet with suitable Encouragement. Jan. 3. 9(4D)def
TO THE Holders of Military Land Warrants. ZACHARIAH BIGGS AND JOHN MATHEWS OFFER their services to the holders of military land warrants, to make the location on the 17th of February next, agreeably to the advertisement of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, relative thereto. They will receive a less quantity of warrants than for four thousand acres, and arrange them with others, so as to complete that number (which makes a location or quarter township) and have them registered. They each surveyed a district of the military tract, and have since explored the interior parts of the townships and sections, and will be able to designate with precision, the preference in the choice of the several locations or quarter townships throughout the whole body of the military lands—One tenth part of the land will be demanded for making the location, &c. to be taken by lot in such manner that their proportion of a section or quarter township will be together. For further particulars enquire of the subscriber, at No. 9, fourth Fifth street, two doors above the Secretary of State's office, where satisfactory general information relative to the army laws, may be obtained.

be stopped and declared good prize, as well the vessel as the cargo and crew.
Art. 8. If a vessel of one of the contracting parties shall be obliged to enter into a port of the other, and may have need of provisions and other articles, they shall be granted to her without any difficulty, at the price current at the place; and if such a vessel shall have suffered at sea, and shall have need of repairs, she shall be at liberty to unload and re-load her cargo, without being obliged to pay any duty; and the captain shall pay only the wages of those whom he shall have employed as well for the unloading of the goods as for their reloading.
Art. 9. If by accident and by the permission of God, a vessel of one of the contracting parties shall be cast by tempest upon the coasts of the other, and shall be wrecked, or otherwise damaged, the commandant of the place shall render all possible assistance for its preservation, without allowing any person to make any opposition; and the proprietor of the effects shall pay the costs of salvage to those who may have been employed.
Art. 10. In case a vessel of one of the contracting parties shall be attacked by an enemy, under the cannon of the forts of the other party, she shall be protected and defended, as much as possible; and when she shall set sail, no enemy shall be permitted to pursue her, from the same port, or any other neighbouring port, for forty-eight hours after her departure.
Art. 11. When a vessel of war of the United States of America shall come into the port of Tunis, and the Consul shall request that the castle may salute her, the number of guns shall be fired, which he shall request; and if the said Consul does not with a salute, there shall be no question about it. But in case he shall desire the salute, and the number of guns he shall have requested shall have been fired, they shall be counted, and for them the vessel shall deliver an equal number of barrels of cannon-powder. The same shall be done with respect to the Tunisian Consuls when they shall go into any port of the United States.
Art. 12. When the citizens of the United States come within the dependencies of Tunis to carry on commerce, the same respect shall be paid them as the merchants of other nations enjoy; and if they desire to establish themselves within our ports, no opposition shall be made; and they shall be free to avail themselves of such interpreters as they may judge necessary, without any obstacle thereto, in conformity to the usages of other nations; and if any Tunisian subject goes to establish himself within the dependencies of the United States, he shall be treated in the same manner. If a Tunisian subject shall freight an American vessel, and shall load her with merchandise, and he shall afterwards wish to unload it, or ship the same on board of another vessel, we will not permit him, until the matter shall be decided by merchants, who shall make an award thereon which shall be conclusive. No captain shall be detained against his will in port, except in the case of our ports being shut for the vessels of all other nations; which may extend to merchant vessels, but not to those of war.
The subjects of the two contracting parties shall be under the protection of the prince, and under the command of the chief of the place where they may be, and no other person shall have authority over them. If the commandant of the place does not deem himself according to justice, representations concerning the same shall be made to us. In case the government shall have need of an American merchant vessel, it shall cause it to be freighted, and then a suitable freight shall be paid to the captain agreeably to the intention of the government, and the captain shall not refuse the same.
Art. 13. If among the crews of merchant vessels of the United States, there shall be found subjects of our enemies, they shall not be made slaves, on condition, that they do not exceed a third of the crew; and when they do exceed a third, they shall be made slaves: The present article only concerns the sailors, and not the passengers, who shall not be in any manner molested.
Art. 14. A Tunisian merchant who may go to America with a vessel of any nation whatsoever, laden with merchandise being the productions of the kingdom of Tunis shall pay duty (small as it may be) like the merchants of other nations; and the American merchants shall equally pay, for the merchandise of their country, which they shall bring to Tunis under their flag, the same duty which the Tunisians shall pay in America. But if an American merchant or a merchant of any other nation shall import merchandise of America, under any other flag, he shall pay a duty of ten per cent: In like manner, if a foreign merchant shall import merchandise of his country under the American flag, he shall also pay ten per cent.
Art. 15. It shall be free for the citizens of the United States, to carry on what commerce they please in the kingdom of Tunis, without any opposition, and they shall be treated like the merchants of other nations; but they shall not carry on commerce in wine, nor in prohibited articles; and if any one shall be detected in a contraband trade, he shall be punished according to the laws of the country. The commandants of ports and castles shall take care that the captains and sailors shall not load prohibited articles; but if this should happen, those who shall not have contraband the smuggling shall not be molested nor searched, no more than the vessel and cargo; but only the offender, who shall be demanded to be punished. No captain shall be obliged to receive merchandise on board of his vessel, nor to unload the same, against his will, until his freight shall be paid.
Art. 16. The merchant vessels of the United States which shall cast anchor in the road of the Goulette, or any other port of
the kingdom of Tunis, shall be obliged to pay the same anchorage, entry and departure, which French vessels pay; to wit: seventeen piasters and an-half, money of Tunis, for entry, if they import merchandise, and the same for departure, if they take away a cargo; but they shall not be obliged to pay anchorage, if they arrive in ballast and depart in the same manner.
Art. 17. Each of the contracting parties shall be at liberty to establish a Consul in the dependencies of the other; and if such consul does not act in conformity with the usages of the country, like others, the government of the place shall inform his government of it, to the end that he may be changed and replaced; but he shall enjoy, as well for himself as his family and suite, the protection of the government: And he may import for his own use all his provisions and furniture, without paying any duty; and if he shall import merchandise, (which shall be lawful for him to do) he shall pay duty for it.
Art. 18. If the subjects or citizens of either of the contracting parties, being within the possessions of the other, contract debts or enter into obligations, neither the consul nor the nation, nor any subjects or citizens thereof, shall be in any manner responsible, except they or the consul shall have previously become bound in writing: And without this obligation in writing, they cannot be called upon for indemnity or satisfaction.
Art. 19. In case of a citizen or subject of either of the contracting parties dying within the possessions of the other, the consul or the vessel shall take possession of his effects (if he does not leave a will) of which he shall make an inventory; and the government of the place shall have nothing to do therewith: And if there shall be no consul, the effects shall be deposited in the hands of a confidential person of the place, taking an inventory of the whole, that they may eventually be delivered to those to whom they of right belong.
Art. 20. The consul shall be the judge in all disputes between his fellow citizens or subjects, as also between all other persons who may be immediately under his protection; and in all cases wherein he shall require the assistance of the government where he resides to sanction his decisions, it shall be granted to him.
Art. 21. If a citizen or subject of one of the parties shall kill, wound or strike a citizen or subject of the other, justice shall be done according to the laws of the country where the offence shall be committed: The consul shall be present at the trial; but if any offender shall escape, the consul shall be in no manner responsible for it.
Art. 22. If a dispute or lawsuit, or commercial or other civil matter, shall happen, the trial shall be had in the presence of the consul, or of a confidential person of his choice, who shall represent him, and endeavor to accommodate the difference which may have happened between the citizens on subjects of the two nations.
Art. 23. If any difference or dispute shall take place concerning the violation of any article of the present treaty, on either side, peace and good harmony shall not be interrupted, until a friendly application shall have been made for satisfaction; and resort shall not be had to arms therefor, except where such application shall have been rejected; and if war be then declared, the term of one year shall be allowed to the citizens or subjects of the contracting parties, to arrange their affairs and to withdraw themselves with their property.
The agreements and terms above concluded by the two contracting parties, shall be punctiliously observed, with the will of the MOST HIGH: And for the maintenance and exact observance of the said agreements, we have caused their contents to be here transcribed, in the month of Rebia Elul of the Hegira one thousand two hundred and twelve, corresponding with the month of August, of the christian year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven.

JOHN ADAMS. By the President, TIMOTHY PICKERING, Secretary of State.
At a stated meeting of the American Philosophical Society, held at their Hall, January 17, 1800, the following persons were elected members:
Robert Liston, Esq. his Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States of America.
John R. Smith, A. M. of Philadelphia.
Justus Eric Bollman, M. D. of do.
William Dunbar of the Mississippi Territory. Extract from the minutes.

NEW YORK, January 18. On change yesterday a report was in circulation, which stated that Mr. Vans Murray, one of our ministers appointed to treat with the French Republic, had arrived at Paris from the Hague; that he was received with every demonstration of joy; and had been assured by the Directory, that the most happy issue might be expected from the negotiation to be opened as soon as the other ministers arrived from the United States, who were hourly expected.
We took considerable pains to trace this report to its source; and saw the gentleman who had it from his friend, who received it from a gentleman lately arrived at Newport (R. I.) from Rochefort.
As much as the circuitous route of this report may argue against its authenticity, we can state as corroborative of the report, upon the authority of the last Newport paper, the arrival there of a vessel from Rochefort.
We never recollect to have witnessed a greater alarm, than that of last evening: when, at the same instant, the cry of, fire! fire! was proclaimed in the northern and southern extremities of the city. The British armed ship Admiral Duncan, lying at Sully's wharf, took fire, and continued to burn for an hour before she was cut loose and hauled into the stream; where not withstanding every effort, she was consuming at one o'clock this morning, when this paper went to press. The Admiral Duncan, we are informed, had a cargo on board to the value of 70,000 dollars and was to have failed this morning for Liverpool.
The fire in the northern part of the city, was a house near the new banks, which was consumed.
We stop the press at 2 o'clock this morning, to state that the ship Olive, which drifted from the wharf foul of the Admiral Duncan, to appearance, is on fire—both ships aground on the Long Island side near the mills.
The scene, at this moment, is terrible! rain! a hurricane! and the heavens illuminated by the fierce devouring flames!

Extract of a letter, dated Kingston (J.) December 8th 1799
The little trade that has been between this place and St. Domingo, is on account of one of our cruisers having put a stop to it, by taking two of Toussaint's vessels, with troops and forces on board, from Port au Prince to Jacmel; for the army now going against that place; I believe; and condemnation follow. I have also to inform you, that the Admiral on this station, has received directions, to give instructions to all his cruisers to send into a British port all American vessels that have been in a French port 24 hours.

FIRE BUCKETS.
The great inattention shown by a number of Citizens, by suffering their Fire Buckets to remain for days and sometimes for weeks in the streets and alleys, adjacent to where they have been used at fires, has induced the Mayor to direct the High Constable, at the expiration of four days from the time that a fire shall happen in the City, to have collected and removed to the City Hall, the Fire Buckets which he may find in the Streets after that period. The owner or will thereby have an opportunity of recovering their Buckets, which, perhaps, otherwise would have been lost by their neglect. A number is now at the City Hall. January 7, 1800.

Just Published, A COMPENDIOUS SYSTEM Of Practical Surveying and dividing of land; briefly comprized under the following heads, viz.  TWENTY THREE Geometrical Definitions, eleven Geometrical Positions, ex- hibiting to view the properties and depe- ndencies of triangles; followed by problems and examples preparatory to Trigonometry, heights and distances. Then fifteen problems and ex- amples necessary previous to calculating a Sur- vey proceeded by seven surveys, the area of the fourth is found geometrically, and of the whole number by difference of latitude and de- parture, showing how to take an inaccessible boundary, find the bearing and distance of the closing line without running it, also the dis- tances to an inaccessible corner from the two adjacent corners, followed by examples of off- sets to winding streams of water, showing how to ascertain the area without the trouble of measuring the windings with chains and in- struments—a crooked water course straightened, and a quantity of land on each side found by these offsets.  Ten examples of dividing land, with many sub-divisions, leading into the most critical cir- cumstances that can occur in practice; an example of Intersections, and an example show- ing how the bearings of a field may be truly taken where the needle is attracted, altho' the attraction may vary in quantity and denomi- nation at every station; examples showing the method of measuring by the chain only. All the rules are clear and explicit. This work con- tains the tables of difference of latitude and de- parture and of logarithms.  Orders sent to Joseph and James Creekshank, Bookellers, No. 82, High Street, Philadelphia; Bonnell and Niles, 173, Market Street, Balti- more, or the Publisher in Wilmington (Del.) will be duly attended to.

TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, From the commencement Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time,  INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Pri- vate Papers of that Body, now first per- mitted to be made public.  TERMS. THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be a doll. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print man- more than the number subscribed for, a considera- ble rise on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers.  Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work.  Payments to be made on delivery of each volume.  Subscribers will have it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, or to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.  IN all countries, the proceedings in the com- encement of their governments, are left in dark- ness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public re- cords, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroy- every thing, enhances the value of well authen- ticated public records, and renders them almost in- estimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, there- fore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in trans- mitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors —founders of the Columbian nation.  The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired:  "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798." "To the Honorable the Senate and House of Rep- resentatives of the United States." "The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia," "Respectfully represents," "That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con- gress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he hath obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecu- ting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase co- pies of that record for themselves."

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, Spring- field and Newark.  THE excellence of this road, the populouf- ness of the country through which it pas- ses, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswich, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Thor- ough 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 expe- rience proves to us, that dispatch as well as com- fort in traveling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country, and, in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It presents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which, in consequence, added to the beauty of the country, and a con- siderable proportion of shade, must always ren- der travelling in the latter season peculiarly a- greable.
The Swift Sure starts from PHILADEL- PHIA, 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 Pennypack to dinner; from Penny town through Hopewell, Millstone, Boundbrook, Quibbstown 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 Ed- ward Bardin, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John Streets, to B. Manys, no. 48, Courtland, corner of Greenwich Streets, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 42, Broad Street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars. Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile.  Each passenger is allowed to take on 14 lbs. of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage, taken on by a passenger, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weight.  With respect to packages sent on without passengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a regulation, which, though unknown to other lines of stages, they think must meet with general approbation. They pledge them- selves to make good every package on the fol- lowing 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 pack- age, 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 pro- portion 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 respon- sible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insur- ance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the great- care has been taken to fix on such places and ta- verns as always afford a good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The stages are well equipped furnished with fleet and steady horses, and com- mitted to the care of intelligent sober and ob- liging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the per- sons 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 chic- ane or insolence 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, dur- ing 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 spokes of with the highest satisfaction.
