The proportion of French and Dutch prisoners to be delivered up in consequence of the convention at Alkmaer (which we have already mentioned), was determined upon at Paris on the 15th inst. between citizen J. T. Lambert and General Knox.—The following is an official copy of the agreement:
Art. 1. In conformity to the 8th article of the convention concluded at Alkmaer, 8000 prisoners of war, French and Batavians, taken previously to the present campaign, and now under detention in England, are to be unconditionally released and sent home. The choice, and the proportion of prisoners for each, to be settled between the governments of the allied republics; and major-general Knox is to remain with the French army to guarantee the execution of the said article.

The following Official Paper is given in the Redacteur of the 14th instant, and was every where posted on the walls at Paris.
TO THE COUNCIL OF ANCIENTS, AND TO BUONAPARTE.
THE Legislative Body has changed its place, with a view to its better proceeding. Is the Republic also to change its position for the better? Shall we persevere in our old errors, or shall we have the courage to confess and repair them? Shall we continue to respect those prejudices which have misled our legislation, and our government? Shall we find the wisdom to conceive, and therefore to act, upon grand and liberal ideas, on solid principles, and on durable basis of social organization?
We wish for the Republic—we wish for Liberty—we wish for a Representative Government. Since the year 1789, we have been fighting at home and abroad, we have been lavishing our fortunes and our lives, in order to obtain these objects. We have not, as yet, had legislators who could fill our hopes. We are this day to seek a Constitution, and we can only find a code, shapeless, obscure, and without a guarantee.
We have had for rulers, men without talents, or without principles; cruel without energy, ambitious without greatness, and prodigal only through avarice; surrounded by passions and crimes, which they had not the courage to repress or punish; they could only arm one party against the other? and the people thus continually agitated by their wavering politics, could only change their oppressors and their miseries.
In 1789, the Constituent Assembly, after being courageous against despotism, proved weak against the factions. After shewing themselves greatly calm on the departure of the King, June 1791, some of them were seduced by his agents after his return; others were intimidated by the clamors of a club; and from this mass of probity and intelligence, there proceeded only a work without solidity—a weak abortion, which bore within it the seeds of its approaching destruction.
The work of 1793, the execrable code of anarchy, only struck terror into France, to which it was the presage of every crime. At length came the constitution of the 3d year, (1795, which now exists no longer) for how could that maintain itself, which created a Legislative Body, which must of necessity, either govern or be oppressed by the Directory!
The Republic, in the 4th or 5th years was maintained by the victories of our armies, and particularly by those of Buonaparte in Italy. It was on the eve of perishing in the 6th year through intrigues of the Royalists.
Then the Legislative Body, misled and deceived by some of those conspirators, was about to overturn the Directory. It was saved, however, by the 18th Fructidor; but in saving the Directory, the 18th Fructidor annihilated the constitution. It did mischief to society at large by the shock which it gave to the representative system. It did to France an injury not yet repaired, by destroying all respect for the constitutional code, which in this instance, had been trampled upon with impunity. From that moment all the dispositions of this code have been either artfully eluded, or audaciously violated. The Executive Directory fashioned their conduct on the model of absolute power, and created conspiracies only to exercise their authority in repressing or ex-
tinguishing them. Their odious wavering policy was incessantly kept in play, and by this they contrived to precipitate into the same abyss, not merely the actual royalists, and the real terrorists, but all those who had incurred their hatred, and whom they ranged alternately under one or the other of those descriptions.
It was thus that political liberty was destroyed; representatives and citizens were arbitrarily placed upon the life of the proscribed, at the dictates of hatred and prejudice. It was thus, that on the 22d Floreal, the choice of the people was outrageously rejected. It was thus that in contempt of the principles of a Representative Government, the Directory appointed, with the members chosen by sections in the primary assemblies, which sections they had themselves provoked, and with a small number of honest and enlightened men who had truly served their country, and whom they did not dare to reject, all those on whose servility or imbecility they could rely for the easier subjection of the two councils.
It was thus that in the year 7, the Directory sent to their Commissions in the departments lists of those who were to be elected, and money to pay for the choice of those whom they had commanded. It was thus that, in despite of civil liberty, the right of banishment was suffered to rest with the Directory against the Journalists, the Priests, and all those who had the misfortune to displease them. It was thus that the prisons received, kept, and devoured a number of victims, confined in dungeons, without knowing their accusers, and who demanded in vain that judgment, which the Constitution orders that they should have within twenty four hours. It was thus that the power of inflicting names on the list of emigrants was absolutely decreed to the Directory; and that even the name of an Ambassador was there inscribed, merely because he had displeased one of our tyrants, by refusing to crawl before him. It was thus that, notwithstanding the laws of the Constitution respecting the Treasury, the principles of order, and the responsibility of all the branches of its Administration, have been violated, the most scandalous waste has been practised to any flatterers and villains, brokers and valets. It was thus that Judges, the guarantees of property, and the Administrators elected by the people, have been unceasingly changed or removed, on the denunciation of knaves, or by the ambition of fools. It was thus that the bravest officers were stripped of their rank, removed shamefully from their places, and consigned to misery, as a return for the blood which they had shed in the service of their country. It was thus that, by progressive imposts, the right of property was violated, though consecrated by the Constitutional Code, always invoked, yet always outraged. It was thus that every year saw a bankruptcy come forward under the title of an arrear of debt; and that the Directory were suffered to annihilate as a power the obligations they had contracted as a party. It was thus that the unfortunate Annuitants were compelled to beg in vain their subsistence at the gates of the Treasury, which was exhausted by disorder and folly. It was thus that civil war was provoked by the detestable law of Hostages, which punishes the innocent for the crimes which they could not possibly prevent, and by which the Government seemed to revenge upon the Nation its own want of power to protect it against robbers. It is by these culpable violations of the Constitution that the coalesced Kings from without, and their Agents within our territory, have been enabled to push the Republic to the very last degree of disorganization, of misfortune, and of guilt. It is thus, in fine, that we are left without a Constitution or a Government.
We wish for both the one and the other. Wise men, brave men, whose union we applaud. Sieyes and Buonaparte—will you give us these, and when you have given them, will you assure them unto us?—If such is your resolution, begin to execute it. The whole people will surround you, during your labors, with power, and with respect. They will reward you with their gratitude and esteem, when those labors are brought to a close.
France wishes for something great and durable. It is instability that has ruined her; she now calls upon you for something fixed and settled. She does not ask for Royalty, for that is proscribed; but she wishes for unity of action in the power which is to execute the laws.—She wishes for a Legislative Body, free and independent, but without the spirit of jealousy or of usurpation. She wishes that the Representatives may protect, without agitating the Nation. She wishes that they may be peaceable protectors, not turbulent innovators. She wishes, in fine, to gather the fruits of ten years of sacrifice—the wishes for Liberty and Peace.
Do what is necessary to ensure these to France, and glory awaits you at the end of your career.

BOSTON, January 25, 1800.
Yesterday arrived here the brig Halcyon, captain Samuel Gale, 35 days from London.
By her we have received London papers to December 18—many days later than before obtained.
LONDON, December 14.
The private letters received by the last conveyance from Paris, and circulated among the French emigrant nobility, report that the unfortunate Louis XVII, supposed to have expired in the temple, June 8th, 1795, is still alive. The Consul Sieyes is affixed both as the author of the report, and the evidence of the fact. It was he who is said to have subtracted the devoted Prince from the poison of the national convention.—He procured a child of corresponding age, from the hotel Dieu, incredibly affected with the scrofula, the pretended disease of the young king; and admitted this unfortunate child into the temple, and exposed the body, disfigured with ulcers and operations, instead of the royal victim.
PARIS, November 13.
Destrem, a few hours before the sitting of the 10th, said to Angereau—"You will not be a false brother. We have the Vanbourgs, (the mob) for us, and a great number of patriots of whom we are sure. We only want a chief, and we rely upon you." "Don't depend upon me," said Angereau—"As long as I thought you friends of the Republic, I was of your party. I see you are only friends of a faction." Buonaparte met Angereau and accosted him thus:—"Angereau you know me; you know that I love the republic, and that I have fought for it. I too have seen you walking in the path of glory; the conduct which you have pursued, is the pledge of what you will pursue on so important an occasion as this, for the safety of the Republic." Angereau, in conversation with some of the heads of the Jacobin party said:—"Do you think that I would consent to forfeit the reputation which I have acquired in the army for the sake of placing myself at the head of such wretches as you are."

Consul Buonaparte has directed a proclamation to the army in Egypt, informing them of the new order of things; assuring them that they are constantly in the minds of the consuls, encouraging them to preserve their courage; to repose in confidence on Kleber; and to look forward to the day when crowned with victory, they will be restored to the bosom of their country.

FRENCHMEN,
The happy change that has been effected in the government, will bring us internal and external peace. The legislative committee and the consuls of the republic are attached to no faction. They have in view the happiness and the glory of the French people, and are strong in their confidence, and the victories of our armies. Every heart expands with hope. A suspension of hostilities already exists in the departments of the west, and orders have been given for carrying it into execution. Without doubt the chiefs of the insurgents and the inhabitants of the districts who have been taken, will not delay to submit to the laws of the republic. The united efforts of every good citizen not merely to prevent affections from being estranged, but also to conciliate and win them, can alone establish a solid peace in the interior. All those who shall contribute that end will deserve well of humanity and their country.

"Comrades, the laws of the 9th and 10th of this month, giving orders to the army, will inform you of the great events that have taken place at Paris. They have inspired the heart of every Frenchman with hope. They ought also to animate yours. Your sufferings are about to cease. No longer shall I solicit in vain succours of every kind to terminate the misery which now oppresses you. You will soon be no longer exposed to the horrors of famine. You will leave off your rags for clothes, you will
receive your pay. You will have provisions; and lead and iron to fight your enemy.
"Buonaparte, that hero of France, who has so often conducted you to victory, is a member of the new government, which is employed in saving the country, and providing for its defenders the means of living and conquering.
"Comrades, for the last time, I solicit from you a few days more of firmness. You shall not be deceived in your expectations. Recollect that you were in as cruel a situation in the Ligurian mountains, when you marched to the conquest of Italy. The hero of Italy and Egypt knows the whole of your wants and our sufferings. He is pursuing the means of ending them.—Though absent, his genius will direct your movements, and the republic shall triumph. Vive la Republique."

TO A GREAT MAN.
SIR, Would it derogate from your high character to listen to the complaint of one of the people? And if I can point out to you grievances...
Has the voice of justice been drowned in the clamour of your supplicating friends, or has not the constitution an inherent right and power to screen the nation from indignity and itself from violation?
Since you have filled the popular chair heavy has been the weight of oppression, innumerable the victims of malicious hatred; every quarter of the state groans under its miseries, and every good citizen acknowledges with a blush his ignominy.
I have made, sir, two interrogations, and I do not yet despair but that there is sense and virtue enough in your nature to acknowledge their justness and importance, and with a blush answer in the affirmative. If you hesitate how to answer do call your eyes on the wretched scenes which surround you...
It would be needless to recapitulate all the crimes of your administration: the above are sufficient to excite abhorrence in the breast of every good man. I have asked you, sir, has not the constitution a power to protect the nation from indignity and itself from violation?
These are grievances which as one of the people I complain of; and believe me sir, that I speak the minds of thousands, when I tell you that their patience is worn out.

JANUARY 23, 1800.
The committee appointed to wait on the Governor, with the Senate's answer to his address, presented the following reply:
THE GOVERNOR'S REPLY.
To the Senate of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
GENTLEMEN,
The extraordinary nature of your first communication to me, as an executive magistrate, the slight reference that it contains to the address which it pretends to answer, and the distant period at which it is presented, are indications of premeditated insults, that affect me infinitely more on account of the apparent departure from the dignity of a Legislative Body, than on account of the injustice done to my Political Principles, or of the outrage offered to my personal feelings.
Thus, an address, cloaking the solemn act of my introduction into office, with a declaration of my solicitude to promote the happiness of our constituents, and to preserve an harmonious intercourse between the departments of the government, you have been pleased to convert into an opportunity to assume a censorship, which the constitution does not recognize; to exhibit accusations which my conduct has not deserved; and to indulge a spirit of animosity which prevents much to compassionate and deplore, but nothing to convince or to terrify.
It is obvious, I must repeat Gentlemen, that your proceedings on this occasion, are not founded on any legislative duty, and cannot, I think, produce any public advantage. As the Senate is the tribunal established to decide upon any charge of official misconduct, it would seem in such cases to be peculiarly incumbent on that body to abstain from effusions of passion, from aspersion of animadversion, from the bias of prejudice.
Let us, with this view for a moment consider the topics of your complaint. In a reply to the congratulations of my republican friends upon the result of the late election, I candidly stated an opinion, that a combination
tion was employed in support of the adverse candidate, consisting of the enemies to the principles of the American revolution, the enemies of foreign governments, and the dependents, or expectants of office, under the Federal administration. Whether I review the circumstances to which I then referred, or contemplate the many other proofs of the existence of such a combination, in relation to more important objects, I find no reason to change, or to retract the opinion that was then delivered. Yet, let me not again be misrepresented. Though my election was opposed by all those descriptions of persons, I never said, I never thought that there was not, likewise a numerous description of opponents, whose minds were actuated by the purest motives, and whose conduct had been equally decorous and independent. Free, therefore, from the perversion of party (a perversion which I did not expect the enlightened Senate of Pennsylvania would countenance or adopt) what is there in my sentiments, or language, that your generosity should be exercised to forgive, or that my sense of justice should be anxious to obliterate?
Besides, it will be recollected, that the transaction, particularly alluded to, occurred before I was in office, and was unconnected with any object of the executive, or legislative trust. If then the censorship of the Senate is warrantable, as applied to that act, it may with equal reason and authority, be applied to every other act of my life; and if the Senate may publish strictures upon the private conduct of the Executive Magistrate, what claim of privilege can shelter the members of that body from retort and recrimination, but the claim (which I shall always promptly anticipate and allow) to pardon and oblivion.
You have chosen, however, gentlemen, another topic for censure; and pursuing the very course, which you have yourselves reproved, you lament that the same spirit which dictated the answer to my Republican friends, has marked my official conduct; you bestow the most opprobrious epithets on my arrangement of the subordinate officers of the state; and you ascribe to me the most wicked designs. But the constitution has conferred on the Governor the exclusive power of appointing, or removing, public officers; and although it is admitted that, for the legal exercise of that power he is responsible to the Legislature through the medium of impeachment, as for the discreet exercise of the power he is responsible to his constituents through the medium of elections; I can no where discover the authority of the Senate in the present form to controul, regulate or interpose.
The radical principal of the constitution, indeed, provides for the separation and independence of the principal departments of governments; and it can be of little importance whether that principle is subverted by direct usurpation, or by successful efforts of one department to overawe and influence another. If likewise, the Senate may, on any pretence, by an extra judicial process, investigate and arraign, disapprove and censure the manner of discharging the executive functions; may not the executive magistrate, with as much right and propriety, invade the sanctuary of the Senate, deprecate the rage and acrimony of its parties, denounce the personal misconduct of its members, question their title to their seats, and brand them with corruption or imbecility?
In a popular government, the principles of rotation in offices of honor and profit might fairly have been suggested. A conviction of the unfitness of an officer for his particular station, would be a reasonable ground for the exercise of executive discretion; and much as I venerate the military merit of the revolution, I may be allowed to remark, that such merit does not necessarily imply a superior capacity for civil office.
The department of officers not in the exercise of the rights of freemen, but in the prostitution of official influence to party purposes; not in the maintenance of their own independence, but in the defamation of the executive magistrate; may also afford a proper cause of removal: for the confidence and cordiality which ought to subsist between the principal and subordinate officers of the state, being thus destroyed, the public interest would demand a separation.
In short, gentlemen, let my appointments be judged by an impartial test; and I flatter myself, that I am rather entitled to the approbation with which the house of representatives has honored me in an answer to the same address, than to the denunciation of a small majority of the senate. You would then perceive, that many of the commissions issued by my predecessor, have been renewed; that if any veteran of the American war has been displaced, after a long enjoyment of office, others, of at least equal patriotism and talents, have been brought from retirement into the public service: that so far from acting on the impulse of an individual mandate resentment, many of my most decisive and influential opponents have been re-appointed; and that without any regard to
any personal feeling, I have selected, and shall always deem it a duty to select, for public stations, men who are tried and faithful friends to the genuine principles of our republican institutions.
Having now, gentlemen, endeavored to evince the impropriety and injustice of the aspersions with which I have been assailed, permit me again to invite your co-operation in establishing the harmony of the government. To the honor of the state, to the interest of our constituents, and to our own happiness, it is essential that the spirit of political distrust and party fued, should be effectually subdued. For a purpose so important and beneficent, an example may justly be expected, from those who are elevated to public stations; and I repeat, that with the prosperity of the people as our sole object, with the constitution and laws as our constant guide, we may reasonably hope for success.
THOMAS M'KEAN.

Knowing how interested you have always been in the fate of the Wyoming business, I have a pleasure in advising you that returns of acceptance, have come in from the Connecticut claimants which will secure the adoption of the plan proposed by the Legislature last year in favour of the Pennsylvania Claimants.
The President has been pleased to appoint John Lamson, Esq. of Massachusetts, Consul of the United States, for the port of Trieste.

NEW YORK, January 29.
The recent revolution in France, does not appear to have been accompanied with those violent commotions, which might have been expected from the nature of the event. But the passive conduct of the Parisians on this occasion, can be accounted for only in the glittering allurements of a peace, delusively promised them. We see in it, a revolutionary operation, supported by revolutionary means—an usurpation—a change—a change of tyrants only.
The very spectacle of a government, perishing by the hands of those who fought and bled in its defence, precludes all reliance upon the stability of that which may succeed, under similar auspices: for any one who may have the power, will have the right, in ten days, or in as many hours, to dismiss the present usurpers, and seize for himself the foreign power.
How this change in France will operate upon the interests of the United States, is merely conjectural. It is believed, however, that it can, in no point, very materially affect us. The reception, or non-reception of our Commissioners for Peace, must be immaterial; since no reliance can be placed in any treaty made with the persons now in power, who exercise no authority emanating from the people; another gust of ambition, at a breath, may sweep away this fabric of a day, and erect another as mutable as the first. The government of the United States will be safe, in keeping a steady hand and piercing eye, upon French licentiousness—chastising, where chastisement is necessary.
We discover no features of royalism in this revolution, as was stated in our first accounts. Though we confess we should not be surprised, if, at no distant period, as a system of royalty, with form features, were to rise from this scene of anarchy.

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 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.

The Persian Lotion operates mild-ly, without impeding that natural, insensible per-spiration, which is essential to health—yet its ef-fects 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 timorous, 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 wo-men 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 constitu-tion, and has restored health to many who have been brought to the verge of the grave by the impro-per administration of mercury. Within this pe-riod upwards of eight thousand patients have ex-perienced its salutary effects.
HAMILTON'S Worm destroying Lozenges. Which have, within six months past, cured up-wards of EIGHTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS of all ages in various complaints arising from worms and from indigestion 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 endan-ger the patient's life; on the contrary, a peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild 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 there-by prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
At the place of sale may be seen many re-markable cases of cures, the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or per-sonal application—not being performed in Europe, nobody knows where—but at home. Persons wishing to procure any of the above me-dicines genuine, must apply ONLY as above—and likewise observe, that the signature of Lee & Co.

THE SUBSCRIBER Having explored the Land laid off for satisfying the Warrants due to the Officers and Soldiers who served in the war between the United States and Great Britain, PROPOSES to locate Warrants to the best advantage, on being allowed a reasonable compensation. He will attend at Philadelphia at the time of locating; and as not less than 4000 acres can be registered or located, will receive any number of warrants less than that amount, and class the if with others so as to make up the quantity required. The subscriber proposes also to attend on the land immediately after locating, and show any section in which he may be employed. Letters or warrants addressed to Alex-ander Addison, Esq.

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 adver-tisement of the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, relative thereto. They will re-ceive a less quantity of warrants than four thou-sand acres, and arrange them with others, so as to complete that number (which makes a location or quarter township) as they have them registered—Each has surveyed a district of the military tract, and have since explored the interior parts of the townships and sections, and will be able to dis-ignate with precision, the preference in the choice of the several locations or quarter townships through-out 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 man-ner that their proportion of a section or quarter township will be together. For further particu-lars enquire at the subscriber, at No. 9, fourth Fifth Street, two doors above the Secretary of State's office, where satisfactory general information rela-tive to the army laws may be obtained. JOHN MATHEWS. January 17. 1 taw3w
TO THE PUBLIC. THE time being fixed on, when the MILITARY LAND (commonly called Knox's) WARRANTS, granted to the United States' army, are to be register-ed and located,—the subscribers have ex-plored that tract of land on which those war-rants are to be laid; with a view, and for the purpose of offering their services as lo-cators.
We take the liberty of suggesting, "that we are at least as well acquainted with the situation, quality of the soil, &c. of the different townships in the aforesaid tract, as any other person;" this will, perhaps, ap-pear more clearly, by observing, that WIL-LIAM C. SCHENCK assisted in running the Indian boundary line; at which time he considerably traversed that tract; he also assisted in surveying and laying it off into townships, and at other times ranged over it, to gain information. But to obtain a more complete and accurate knowledge, we have lately spent between two and three months, with several assistants, in particu-larly examining the different townships and quarter townships; by which means we have acquired an accurate knowledge of the whole district.—We now offer our services to the public, as Locators, with assurances that we will locate every persons warrants intrusted to us to the best advantage, agreeably to their rights of location, which is to be de-termined according to law. For our ser-vices we demand the one equal tenth part, either in lands or warrants, when we locate a full tract, of four thousand acres or more, for one person or firm; the land to be taken in a square, at a corner of the tract; which corner is to be equitably determined before the time of location.—The one equal sixth part, in cash or warrants, when we connect and locate any amount less than four thou-sand acres. We will be in Philadelphia from December next, until after the time of location, to transact this business. Any person wishing to satisfy himself farther, will please to call on us, by letter, (postage paid) or otherwise; when due attention will be paid, and such vouchers may be seen as we have to offer, which we hope will be sa-tisfactory.

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.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, nearly 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 2 dolls. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. whole bound; but, as the publisher does not intend to print man-ore than the number subscribed for, a consider-able 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, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Govern-ment.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the com-encement of their governments, are lost 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 be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authenti-cated 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 occasion to recur to the Journals of Con-gress, we experienced 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 copies of that record for themselves.
