A CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. JOHN A.

To prevent further imposition, I have to request the printers of Newspapers in the United States to publish this for the benefit of their fellow-citizens.

MR. JEFFERSON'S ENVOY. THE anxiety of the public has been for a long time awakened by Dr. Logan's mis- sion to France. Conjectures have been as they have been unsatisfactory. The most distracting of our citizens have indeed been convinced, that his objects were of a nature the most hostile to our government, and most destructive to our happiness and independence. They had been a constant correspondence kept up between France and the disaffected in those countries which have since groaned under the iron rod of her oppression; they knew the aspiring views and unprincipled ambition of this restless and frantic dema- gogue; they were well informed of the haste and secrecy of his departure; nor were they ignorant of his long and frequent consulta- tions with a man who, abandoned to every sense of public virtue, exerts all the faculties of his mind, and bestows all the weight of his office upon the increase and establish- ment of the influence of France. Weighty and operative as were these considerations, there were others still more so. It was remarked, that Logan failed soon after the arrival of the memorable dispatches from our en- voy, when the public mind was most in- flamed; when every latent spark of virtue and patriotism fired the American bosom; and when it was perceived, even by the most fanguine and inveterate of his faction, that unless a speedy change took place in the system of open coercion at that time adopted by France, the energies of our government, invigorated by the ardor of our citizens, would blast all their projects. No means could be better calculated to effect this change, than to dispatch an envoy from the body politic of Jacobinism, fully initiated into the views of its leaders, and invested with ample powers to concert such schemes as were most likely to ensure ultimate suc- cess. Their craft no sooner suggested the idea, than the folly and fanaticism of Logan furnished them with an instrument. From what has already happened, we may in some degree discover how well their opinions were founded; and as the letter published from himself in fact confesses that he has acted in a political character, his conduct is now a fit subject of public praise or condem- nation. An extract published from a Paris paper some time since informed us, that he had credentials from Jefferson and M. Kean, that he had dined with the notorious Merlin, president of the Directory, and that he was sent for political purposes by the French party in America. This publication has now been made some weeks; it must have been seen by both of the persons who are said to have created this new species of dip- lomatic character; they must have both known that it has excited the curiosity, and roused the feelings of the whole nation; and that if its truth was not denied, it would be credited. From no other denial having been made, and from the intrinsic probability of the assertion, I shall consider it as unques- tionably authentic. The constitution has vested in the President alone, the manage- ment of our exterior relations. To him be- longs the right of appointing public minis- ters, of forming treaties, and of expressing our national sentiments. The Vice-Presi- dent, considered as such, possesses no other power than those which are attached to the head of a legislative body. The President then entered into a negotiation with France, as the legal representative of the whole na- tion; Mr. Jefferson has entered into ano- ther, as the representative of a profligate faction. Let him not attempt to justify himself by saying, that his objects coincided with those of the administration; for if he is authorized, unsolicited, without the knowledge, and, as he well knew, against the inclination of the President, thus kindly to further the completion of his wishes in this instance, it would be equally proper for him, on another occasion, to impede and obstruct them: if he is competent to send an agent to France, for the purpose of se- curing peace, he is no less empowered to send one to England in order to create war. No man who is acquainted with his char- acter, doubts that he would embark in a scheme of the latter nature, with the same readiness as he has done in the former. The people of the United States are call- ed upon to reflect seriously on this develop- ment. It affords an insight into the views of their most insidious foe, which he has been too crafty often to give them. They are not now surely to be told that an illegal assumption of power is most dangerous in its ultimate consequences, when least injurious in its immediate effects, and that while they may receive an apparent temporary benefit, precedent is established for the ruin of their most essential rights. The next intelligence we received of Dr. Logan was, that immediately upon his ar- rival at Paris, he made his way to the di- rectory; that the embargo laid upon our vessels was soon after taken off; that orders were given to the French pirates, no longer to harry our commerce, when failing according to the decrees of the directory. In the letter from himself published in Saturday's Gazette, we are informed that he is about to return to this country with dispatches for our government, calculated to restore harmony between the two nations; that all American vessels were released and American prisoners set at liberty; and that the most positive assurances have been given that France is ready to enter on a treaty for the amicable accommodation of all matters in dispute. The first question which arises on reading this information is, by what means was he enabled to work this sudden change in the temper of the directory? Has it been by the recapitulation of the reasons so often alleged to them in support of the justice of our claims, and so long disregarded? Will his warmest advocates contend that his levi- ty and folly could throw new lights on the subject, or that if he had done so, that when coming from him who had so long & so rea- sonably defended those measures the legality of which he would then have been combatting, they would receive the least attention? Has it been by gratifying the avarice of the French ministers and by the practice of the insin- uating arts of corruption? Or has it been by assuring them that a persistence in the poli- cy of open force would warn the people of their danger, unite them in their own cause, baffle all the artifices of intrigue, and blast all hopes of subjugation? The subsequent measures of France fully demonstrate that this has been the object of his mission. If there be a sincere desire on its part to bring about a reconciliation, wherefore is it that the latest edicts of the directorial tyrants ascribe our defensive mea- sures solely to British corruption? they well know that the asperion is as offensive to our government as it is wicked and false in it- self. Wherefore is it that they suffer all these acts most ruinous to our commerce, to continue? The decree authorizing the seiz- ure and condemnation of ships, carrying Bri- tish merchandise, still operates; the want of a role d'equipe suffices still to confis- cate our vessels. Why are not the agents who have sanctioned the atrocities commit- ted upon our citizens, displaced? Can any solid peace exist while the chief grounds of our complaints remain? What is it, then, that has really been done? An embargo in- formed, not more than a dozen vessels were detained. Our seamen are released, whose maintenance must have created a consider- able expense, without any possible advantage to France or essential injury to America and the same assurances (as we are told by the Jeffersonian envoy) given, which have so long been made only to be broken. The great object of this prodigal and rapacious, perfi- dious and inveterate foe, evidently is to tem- porize, until she shall have accomplished the projects of her ambition in Europe; in the meantime, to obtain a new opportunity to exert the artifices by which she has hitherto but too well succeeded; and then to glut her avarice and revenge, by falling upon us when we are weakened by the loss of our commerce, dispirited by faction and totally unprepared for resistance. We have a dread- ful warning in the fate of other nations; we have seen their fall accelerated, and indeed produced by the treacherous baseness of their own citizens. Let us grow wise by their misfortunes. If we rush on this ad- visedly to ruin, our murmurs will be answered only by the scourge of our oppressors; and our groans by the contemptuous pity of the world. SCEVOLA.
WHEN Logan failed for Europe it was said that he carried with him official dispatches from the chiefs of our Jacobinical faction, and it was natural in us to believe that these dispatches were written in conformity with the real views and hopes of his party as they were detailed in the public papers devoted to this faction and in all their speeches and conversations at that time.— "You will have no peace with France while Adams and his friends are in Office." "You must repeal your odious acts," "break your treaty with Britain" "cut your words, and tread back the whole length of your Federal Path, before the French will even hear you," and in all this the French are perfectly right; thus said their traitors on all occasions, at every opportunity. Then how dare they, after so short a lapse of time, to pretend that they ever have advised the French to recede from hostilities. As well may the United Irish pretend that they advised the French to break their promise to land Ireland, in which case the merit would be theirs, and the honest tars of Old England most of course have been unnecessarily employ- ed; is there a wretch on earth so stupid as to believe in either of these positions? No. Nothing could be more welcome to our French faction, than to behold an army of rapacious foreigners landing on our soil, to overturn our government and to place their leader at our head till they are in office, they cannot with force it is not in their nature—but this fine tale of Logan has something in it which tells us to be on our guard and time alone can enable us to develop the full intentions of these protean parasites.
OBSERVATORY AT MALTA. In 1784, Prince Emanuel Rohan, grand- master of Malta, caused an observatory to be erected in his superb palace in this island, and committed the care of it to the celebrated d'An- gos, well known in the astronomical world. This gentleman immediately ordered a Quadrant to be constructed in Paris by the celebrated Migie. As soon as the establishment was complete, he began to form a catalogue of stars, in which he made a successful progress, in consequence of the cloudless sky with which that island is con- stantly favoured. He discovered several Comets which eluded the observations of astronomers in England, Sweden, &c. owing to the vicissi- tudes of the seasons in those countries. His catalogue of Northern stars (so much wanted in astronomy) was very rich. It is hoped that the French, who are apt to pay too much attention to science, will not deprive the learned of this medium of celestial intercourse.
FOREIGN LITERATURE. Theodangers of Patrizio , a Novel, has lately been published in Paris, by J. Lavalée, author of Cecilia , daughter of Schelm II. and other productions.—The last is thus described: "This is the best Novel which has ap- peared for some time; it has the double merit of interest and style, at once pure and ingenious. The principal situations are several of the personages recall to our minds Lovelace, and some other Actors in the im- mortal work of Richardson; but the con- trast of an Angelic woman, the object of the will of a monster of wickedness, whose bale- fuls is enveloped in a brilliant style, is so proper to produce a lively emotion, and of- fers such useful and instructive lessons, that it is not surprising a subject of that kind should be again resorted to. The author has preserved, in his personages the quali- fications of the old regime; because in the manuvers he describes, there are details which seems to belong to past times exclusively; and they are not indeed of such a nature as to give us room to reject them. There are some Novels which profess to preach up virtue, and yet, in fact, dispose their readers to be in love with vice. The moral of this book in question is as pure as it is noble."

CHARLESTON, October 20.
The frigate off the bar is the Constitution, capt. Nicholson; not the Constitution, as mentioned in yesterday's paper.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth-day of the President of the United States, the armed ships in the harbor fired salutes on the occasion; and the three first troops of horse, belonging to the regiment commanded by col. Connington paraded in Broad-street, and afterwards went through a number of evolutions on the place of general parade.
The company of Charleston Blues belonging to the 29th regiment of militia, also paraded. This company, and a number of other gentlemen, dined together at William's Coffee-House. After dinner a number of appetizing toasts were drank, which we are obliged to postpone till our next.

BALTIMORE, November 7. To the Printers of the Federal Gazette. Gentlemen, I request you to give publicity to the following through the medium of your Gazette.
On the 4th of September, I was captured in the snow Fanny, of Baltimore, close in with the Spanish Main, by a French privateer Schooner, on board of which was a fellow of the name of John Mathers of Baltimore, who told me, in order to cover his piratical conduct, that he was only getting a passage from Laguira to Curacoa; but I soon found out that he was one of the most active of the pirate's crew.
The above Mathers, Solomon Geer, and one Leacock, went out privateering on the 14th instant, in a French Schooner of 10 guns. I was present when the two latter went on board, and heard them declare, that every American they captured, they would strip even of their shirts.
I wish every printer in the Union to publish the above, in order to acquaint the Commanders of all vessels belonging to the United States, of the villainy of those Jacobins. Yours, &c. GARRET BARRY. Curacoa, October 26, 1798.
NEW-YORK, November 10. The President of the United States will shortly set out for the Seat of Government. We are sorry to hear that Mrs. Adams will be unable to accompany him. We ardently hope that her convalescence, though slow, may be certain. Our worthy and illustrious President has declared to his friends, that he can meet with unshaken fortitude any event but her loss. Let every true American prefer his fervent vow to heaven for her recovery.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14.
Batrax of a letter from a gentleman in Pittsburgh, to his friend in this city, dated October 19th, 1798.
"You will before this, have received the very distressing intelligence of Gallatin's re-election by a large majority. A fact which in my mind fully proves the existence of implacable hatred by the people of this country to the government. Had he not acted as he has, and had he in one single instance supported governmental measures, his election would have been doubtful; but he is popular as the chief of a party, (who are the majority). If the people can be made to understand the situation of public affairs, they of this country have not the excuse of ignorance for the utmost pains for a year past, has been taken to inform them, and enable them to weigh the consequences of every political occurrence in our dispute with France; and though they esteem Gallatin as a friend of the people, they know him and support him as the enemy of the government. An unfortunate division of the Federal interest between Woods and col. Presley Nevill, who were both candidates, though N. resigned before the election, gave great strength and boldness to Gallatin's party. However, had not this division taken place, and had General Washington even been the candidate opposed to him, I believe the Jacobin reptiles would have voted in the same manner. Of many anecdotes which this election has furnished, one is particularly worthy of notice, as showing the state of the public mind. A gentleman of popularity at Washington, the election day, at the conclusion of a speech in a large assembly of rabble cried "Huzzah for the American cause" Not a voice seconded him—he was alone. A scoundrel in the crowd huzzed "for Gallatin" and it was immediately and repeatedly re-echoed by perhaps nine-tenths of those present. It was a common saying at many of the election districts, "that it was time for the French to come—there were too many of king George's men in the country—his mission ought to be taken off." In the borough of Pittsburgh there were 72 votes for Gallatin, and but one man in it acknowledged he voted for him."
XVIII. Century.
AS neither Mr. Cobbett nor his correspondents have made any attempts to controvert what I had the honor to advance on this subject, in your paper of the 8th, I must take it for granted, they have either fled the question or are preparing their minds for conviction. I pledged myself to advance some authorities in support of my opinions: a more respectable one than Ferguson will in vain be sought for. The hundredth year he styles the centurial year; doublets, thereby meaning, the last or closing year of the century—the year which completes the term. But he is still more decisive, clearer and stronger on this point. This astronomy, pp. 269—271, contains a catalogue of ellipses visible the present century. This period he commences with the year 1701, and concludes with the year 1800.
Moreover, Dufresnoy, who is allowed to be the most indefatigable chronologist that ever lived, corrects an error into which he had inadvertently fallen, and for which it is easy to account, in the two or three first centuries of his dates, and uniformly afterwards. terminates with the hundredth year—the tenth century with the year 1000—and so on. CERTO.
LORD BACON, In his "Essay upon health and long life," says, on some philosopher's being asked how he had arrived to the very advanced period of life he then was at, replied, "Intus melle extra oleo"—by taking honey within and oil without.
MAupertuis, In one of his essays, melancholly enough, makes this conclusion: "Mankind, (says he) however, differing in all other things, agree in this, ils ont tous cherché un remede au mal de vivre." They have all been looking after a remedy for the misery of existence.
PASCAL, In his "Thoughts" says, "We must all be uneasy here: below:—If we are not uneasy, so much the worse for us."
GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS. When the town of Landshut, in Bavaria, surrendered at discretion, the principal inhabitants of it fell down before him, when they presented him with the keys of their town. "Rise, rise! (said he) it is your duty to fall upon your knees to God, and not to so frail and so feeble a mortal as I am."
The insignificance of a villain ought never to in use us to suppose him incapable of mischief. Many a despised wretch, of origin low, mean and vulgar, and trained in habits of baseness and servility, is yet capable of more complete and more extensive devastation than any of the greatest conquerors and tyrants who have ever oppressed mankind. How has our own time abounded in melancholly illustrations of this truth!
THE TELEGRAPH Is said to have been originally the invention of William Amontons, a very ingenious philosopher, born in Normandy, in the year 1663. Amontons was in the third form of the latin school at Paris; when after a considerable illness, he contracted such a deafness as obliged him to renounce all communication with mankind. In this situation he invented that mode of communication, which has since been adopted by the revolutionizers; and, with considerable improvements, is now called the Telegraph.
NEWSPAPERS. It has been supposed from the following passage, which occurs in Tacitus' Annals, that the Romans had something like newpapers. "Diurna populi Romani, per provincias, per exercitus, curatio legatur; quam si non notatur quid Thraea fecerit."
In the city of London, there are published, thirteen daily, twenty evening, and nine weekly papers. In the country, twenty, and in Scotland fourteen.
The earliest paper known to have been published in England, was the English Intelligencer, commencing about the year 1650. It would be worth while to bestow some attention on the progressive increase of those powerful agents in this country. It was late before the establishment took root amongst us; it has since made up for the delay, by the most exuberant increase and extension. Within old Franklin's time, and not more than seventy years ago, there were not above two newspapers printed in America. Mr. John Dunlap, of this city, was the institutor of the first daily paper, not long before the commencement of the revolution. This was begun on a sheet of Demy size, at the rate of eight dollars per annum. It is remarkable, that in no instance has this charge been hitherto exceeded, although the daily papers have been continually increasing in size, until those of America are now the largest in the world.
A newspaper, at the highest rate they now sell at, may justly be called the cheapest commodity of the country. At eight dollars per ann. they are little more than two-pence each. Every sheet of paper costs the printer more than a penny, and thus the publisher receives an immense body of printing at one penny.
NEAT COMPLIMENT.
The following pretty conceived tribute to General Washington loses none of its merit from the circumstance of not being paid as intended. Messrs. Gray and Weed, at Gray's ferry, expecting the General to pass that way, had decorated the bridge in the handsomest manner with ever-green and laurel—just emblems of the unadying reverence and love of a grateful people; and of the distinguished honors which adorn the immortal Chief. It is matter of regret, that the zeal and ardor of these gentlemen, which led them to exert themselves all night, to complete the decoration, was unfortunately disappointed by the General's passing at the middle ferry, conformably to prior arrangements, which could not then be deviated from.
It is remarkable that the foreign renegades who infest this country, commence immediately on landing, their old practices of extolling the generosity, magnanimity and public virtue of the French. Wherefore is it that no one of these catiffs seeks that delightful asylum of oppressed friends to liberty?
If we do not speedily close our doors upon the hordes of ruffians yearly disgorging upon us, America will ere long be converted into one vast store-house of assassins.
If the revolutionary vermin of foreign countries should continue to increase and fatten as they have heretofore done, on the sufferings and distress of the community, it is not difficult to foresee the speedy dissolution of this immense temple of liberty, this freest and most enlightened republic. Then should we see committees of public safety and revolutionary tribunals composed of Callenders, Reynolds's, Burks and Duanes. The heads of rich men would roll down the kennels, while scoundrel convicts would be revelling in their chariots, or rioting in their palaces.
To this evil some effectual remedy must be applied: 'tis not enough that we cry "Tarda sit illa dies, et nostro senior awo." We must rouse us, betimes, to energy and action, or the slumber wherewith we sleep will be our last.
It is of little consequence to the federalists, that their enemies are less numerous than themselves, while the shameful fact exists that they make themselves more powerful by superior boldness, address and activity. In how many instances have we not seen them gain an ascendancy merely by perseverance in their endless arts of lying and intrigue, and for want of a due exertion of honest means on the part of the friends to government. It is not hazing too much to say, that a continued prevalence of that lukewarmness and indifference of temper, which has so long existed the reproach of the federal party, must in the end prove the means of its destruction. What our enemies want in numbers, they make up in the most active intrigue; and what they want in manly spirit, they make up by dark and underhanded conspiracy. They are Jeffersonians in cowardice as they are Catalines in villainy. But the coward has his weapon, and often strikes the surest and most fatal blow.
Memo.—No controversy about the close of the eighteenth century to be carried on in future at my office, between the hours of 9 and 4. J. W. F.
The following lines written under a portrait of Shakespeare, by Ben Jonson, his contemporary, have much of the pleasant quaintness of that time.
The figure that thou here dost put, It was for gentle Shakespeare cut; Wherein the graver had a strife With nature to out-did the life. O, could he but have known what his wit His life; the print would then surpass All that was ever writ in brass. But, since he cannot, reader, look Not on his picture, but his book.
The letter of Logan, published by his wife, is of some moment in one point of view, as it tends to prove, by his own word of mouth, that he actually went on the abominable errand which was suspected. This embassy, take it in all its parts, presents an unparalleled display of impudence, folly and vice: it can result only in the exposure and punishment of the actor and his
contained confederates. Meanwhile, the administration, with that upright and dignified spirit which has hitherto distinguished all its proceedings, regardless of the cries of the crocodile, will pursue unswervingly its straightway course—that course which has converted menace and insult into crouching and supplicancy, and that can one ensure safety, which, and not peace, ought to be now the prime object of our regard. Already the matted Harlequins tremble at our vengeance—already they feel and confess our power. To the foul of a frivolous Sancolee our cannon should convey our only address: All without is now as it should be: that Providence, which, however unacknowledged, or denied, still holds at disposal, the destinies of thieving France, after leading us through the tyrannous operations of fraternalization, and suffering us to be bound down under the lash of fensu-lotilim, has at last led us to the path of honor and safety. From this path no Logan can divert us—no faction can drive us, while at the helm stands immovable as Atlas, and as unshaken, John Adams, President of the United States, a man born for the crisis in which Providence has placed him, and dedicated to the salvation of his country, as much as Mses to that of the Israelites.
LYING PROPHETS.
The foolish de-cocrats predicted, nay swore, that the spirit of America would rout their masters to wath. How shallow, false, and unprofitable are all the devices of jacobinism. They know not even what stuff themselves are made of.
The following fact, which we copy from the European Magazine, merits serious attention. A celebrated lecturer in Natural Philosophy lays, that when he was in Virginia, he was told, that in a certain district of that province, an epidemic fever had been long used to prevail, and to attack most of the inhabitants of it, in spite of every precaution that the medical men could suggest. Some Bostonians, however, coming to settle there, (whose constant custom in their own country is to wear flannel next to the skin), it was observed that they escaped the general infection, which they imagined to be owing to their method of clothing themselves. The inhabitants took the hint, and were never afterwards subject to their old disease.
An English writer in just derision of the mock republicanism of the French, calls them republicanets.
The immortal Milton in his answer to the Eikon Basilike, of the unfortunate Charles, thus speaks of that unhappy monarch, and his distresses: "To defend on the misfortunes of a person falling from so high a dignity (who hath also paid his final debt both to nature and to his faults) is neither of itself a thing commendable, nor the intention of this discourse. Neither was it fond ambition, or the vain desire to get a name, present or with posterity, by writing against a king."
Milton was a republican. Far different is the temper of Gallic republicanism. After cruelly butchering the best of monarchs, that bloody crew even to this hour, heap on his memory the most vile and odious slanders. In this particular your French republican is nearly allied to the Jackal.

Sixty Dollars Reward. MADE their escape from the Guard in the bo- rough of Lancaster, on Saturday evening last, between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock, two French prisoners, part of the crew of La Croya- ble.
The one named Etienne Adelin, a native of Bor- deaux in France, 26 years of age, about 5 feet 6 inches high, dark eyes and complexion, by trade a carpenter, supposed to be unacquainted with the English or German language. Had on when he went away, a white hat, pantalettes, and a short jacket, tight made, and probably took with him some other clothes. The other named Peter Durieux, a native of Buillon in France, 20 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches high, grey eyes, dark complexion, a seam- stress by occupation, a dirty ill-looking fellow, said on when he went away, a blue jacket, with large tow trousers, an old wool hat, peacoat, im- ped German. Also, made his escape the same day, about nine o'clock in the morning, from the same Guard, a ne- gro man named Peter Hinton, about 5 feet 6 inches high, of a slim limg circumference, lately convicted of a felony in this country. Had on when he went away, a long blue coat, a pair of white trousers, both ragged, and a black hat. Twenty-five dollars will be paid for apprehend- ing and securing in any goal, each or either of the above named Frenchmen and Ten dollars for the negro, by Christian Carpenter, jun. fhe-iff.

Forty Dollars Reward FOR APPREHENDING  A GENTLEMEN NEGRO, BY name GEORGE or GEORGE PARKER, the property of the subscriber, who has thought proper on the night of the 24th inst. to slip from his master without any provocation or just cause; he was formerly the property of Beckwith Butler, Esq. and lived a considerable time with Pottinger, who kept tavern in Frederickburg, having been much company and travelled with several gentlemen through different parts of this state, he is much known. It is therefore conjectured he will pull for some of the northern cities or towns as he has discovered an aversion to plantation work, though he may perhaps have crossed the ridge where he has a brother belonging to major Butler. This fellow is about five feet seven inches high, well proportioned and walks active and brisk, his countenance is open and agreeable enough when in good humour, but he can hardly be sup- plied with a very capable waiting-man, house servant, barber, &c. To describe his dress would be useless, as he possessed a variety of clothes, though when dressed lately, he wore a green coat, bound with white ferrering and spotted jacket and breeches. Whoever brings him home or secures in goal in this or any other state, the said slave, so that I may get him again, shall have the above re- ward. ALEXANDER VASS. Falmouth, Oct. 23. 1798. N.

PROPOSALS, BY THE  Insurance Company of North America. For INSURANCE against FIRE, on Dwelling- Houses, Ware-Houses, and other Buildings (and on Goods contained in such Buildings) distant from Philadelphia, in the United States. I. Common Insurance, on hazards of the first class, will be undertaken at a premium of about shall per cent. per annum. For extra hazardous risks a larger premium will be required, which will vary according to circumstances, seldom ex- ceeding one per cent. per annum; but in some in- stances, where the property insured is not only in itself extra hazardous, but rendered still more so by the vicinity of extra hazardous buildings and occupations, the premium demanded will be raised according to circumstances. Houses and Ware-Houses, the walls and parti- tions of which are wholly of stone or brick, well contrived, so as to be guarded as well as may be against fire from within, and free from extra ha- zardous buildings and occupations in their neigh- borhood, will be deemed hazardous of the first class, and may be insured to their full value. Also Goods and Merchandise, not of an extra hazardous kind, in cases, bales, or packages, de- posited in such buildings, to an amount not ex- ceeding 4000 dollars; but if more than this sum is required to be insured in one tenement, an addi- tional premium will be required, in proportion to circumstances. II. Insurances will also be made on buildings and goods extra hazardous, at premiums proportioned to the risk. But it is not easy to arrange these under particular heads or classes, so as to describe each with the necessary accuracy. Each case must therefore be decided upon according to the circum- stances attending it; and these circumstances will, in general, appear from the description accompa- nying the application. Buildings partly constructed of brick or stone, are preferable to those wholly wooden. And in both cases, the site of building, how they are oc- cupied, how they are situated, the neighboring buildings, and view occupied, are considerations to be taken into view. And with respect to goods, their tendency, whether from their nature, or from the manner in which they are exposed, either to commence or to increase an accident-fire, and their liability in such state to receive damage by wet, or by sudden and sudden removal, or to be tol- erated in time of confusion and hurry, are all cir- cumstances of weight, and the premiums must be proportioned accordingly. III. The following conditions are to be under- stood by the parties: 1st. The Insurance is not binding till the stipu- lated premium be paid; but it shall be deemed ac- cepted from the time of such payment and accept- ance thereof, whether the policy be immediately signed or not. 2d. Insurances may be renewed at the expira- tion of the term of the policy, without further ex- penses than the payment of the premium of the re- newed term, the circumstances continuing the same as they were understood by the Insurers at the time the former insurance was made; but the payment of the premium is essential to such renewal; and if the party insured offers any time to lapse after the expiration of the former insurance, before he pays a premium for the renewal, he is not insured during such time; nor can the insurance be renewed on the former policy but by computing the commencement of the renewal from the expiration of the former insurance. The subject of insur- ance may nevertheless be open to treaty for a new insurance. 3d. If any other insurance be made on the same property; it must be made known at the time of application, otherwise the policy made on such ap- plication will be void. 4th.
