WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) THE BAVIAD AND MAEVIAD. BY WILLIAM GIFFORD, ESQUIRE. To which is prefixed, A POETICAL EPistle TO THE AUTHOR BY AN AMERICAN GENTLEMAN. [In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expenses have been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America. This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Geniuses of other nations. Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Somerville, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Hall, Baltimore; and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Bingham and other places, as soon as associations offer.] may 28

On Monday next, the 3d of June,
WILL START,
THE
SWIFT-SURE,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES,
To run daily between PHILADELPHIA and NEW-YORK, by the short and pleasant Road of
BUSTLETON, NEWTOWN, SCOTCH-PLAINS SPRINGFIELD AND NEWARK.
THE excellence of this Road, the populousness of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswick, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Thoroughfare 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. This Road is several miles shorter than the Old Road, but this is amongst the least of its advantages, because daily experience proves to us, that dispatch as well as comfort in travelling principally depends 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 prevents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the far greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstance, added to the beauty of the country and a considerable proportion of shade, will render travelling in the latter season peculiarly agreeable.
The SWIFT-SURE will start at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth Street, Philadelphia. It will go through Frankford to Bustleton, where it will stop to breakfast; from Bustleton it will go through Newtown to Pennypack to dinner; from Pennypack through Hopewell, Millstone, Bound-Brook, Quibbletown and Plainfield, to Scotch-Plains to lodge. The next morning it will stop at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it will go through Newark, and arrive at New-York by noon.
Fare for passengers, 5 Dollars,
Way passengers, 6 cents per mile.
Each passenger is allowed to take on 14lbs of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage taken only 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 themselves to make good every package on the following 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 package, 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 proportion 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 responsible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insurance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the Route the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and Taverns as shall always afford good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The Stages are all well-equipped, furnished with fleet and steady horses, and committed to the care of intelligent, sober and obliging drivers. The Proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the Stages will stop, so that the conduct of the persons they employ will be continually an object of their attention. They will take care also to see, that the passengers are well provided for and politely treated at the Taverns, and that no sort of chicanery or inuendo shall be practised upon them: in short, they are resolved, that neither pains nor expense shall be wanting to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best Line of Stages in America.

COMMUNICATION.
IT is evident that the morals of the American people were corrupted; and in imputing the contamination to French delinquency, we are justified by selecting a few facts from a painful number. No other nation dared meddle with American policy; all other nations respected our government too much to risk a tampering with this sacred part of every people's dependence; even the English admired the object of jealousy to them; which was not to be wondered at, as it was not possible for them to see French enthusiasm pervading all ranks of Americans, without suspecting a covert enemy. Whereas, the French, after prostituting liberty in their own country, sent her out, as a Brothel sends forth a Procurets, to corrupt American chastity; and after having allured her passions, began to level her dignity, and hasten her ruin. What did Genet think of the morals of the people, when he had the assurance to attack the first magistrate of the union, and threaten him with popular indignation? Must he not have thought them rotten to the very core, to suppose they would prefer him to a Washington? To suppose they would degrade their own government, by turning the sword of the laws into useless lumber? Were not the Embassadors and Consular Authorities of the French, usurpatory and oppressive, and at constant variance with our laws? And did not this military discover contempt for our government, and a reliance upon a corrupted people? Let the honest Americans decide; we believe they will confess the charge and deplore the fascination that led their countrymen to prefer French professions to that Independence that we fought and bled for! Thank God! tho' corrupted, we were not all abandoned; some some had left a portion of genuine American temper lest which prompted them to listen to the true friends of American liberty; their demonstrations of French duplicity, and worse than open enmity, returned many misled citizens, stung with remorse, to their duty. But the treatment of our Embassadors in France, as humiliating to the American sovereignty, as it was insulting to their own personal feelings; and Talleyrand's requisition of money as the purchase of peace, at length opened the eyes of the greater part of the American people; yet it is still doubted by some, whether they would have been open quite so soon, had not a demand been made upon their purses! National dignity and honor seem to have been absorbed in the all-pervading speculations of avarice. That we may see how hard it is to purge the country of French corruption, a Jacobin faction still exists, which continually new-links the chain of communication as fast as it breaks, and still holds a considerable portion of the people in fetters. If people cannot read, they are to be pitied; but if they can, and would do it with candid minds, let them observe the different governments of that part of the world crumbling to pieces, the nations reduced from comparative happiness to slavery, even the virtuous Swiss doomed to the yoke; and this effected more by the corruption of French intrigues than by the terror of their arms—let them compare these transactions with analogous facts in our own country, and if the fountains of probity are not entirely dry in their hearts, they will compel a hatred to profligate France and her partisans; and a sentiment of common danger will influence them to unite all their energies for the safety of their country. They will then see that the measures of government were prompted by the purest wisdom and patriotism; and this ought to stimulate their gratitude and reserve their bosoms in the cause of virtue, of their country, her government and laws. Then may we bid defiance to France or any other power to tyrannize over us; and the torch of rational liberty will light us to national happiness, tho' extinct in every other part of the globe X.
THE CHARGE
Of the Chief Justice of the United States the honorable OLIVER ELLSWORTH, to the Grand Jury of the Federal Circuit Court, for the District of South Carolina. Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
The matters of delinquency to which your inquiry and presentments will extend, are offences against the United States, committed within the district of South Carolina; or upon the high seas, by persons found here. Those offences are chiefly defined in the statutes, with which you are presumed to be acquainted: the residue are either acts contravening the law of nations, cases which you will rarely meet with; or they are acts manifestly subversive of the national government, or of some of its powers specified in the Constitution. I say manifestly subversive, to exclude acts of doubtful tendency, and confine criminality to clearness and certainty.
An offence consists in transgressing the sovereign will, whether that will be expressed, or obviously implied. Conduct therefore, clearly destructive of a government, or its powers, which the people have ordained to exist, must be criminal. It is not necessary to particularize the facts falling within this description, because they are readily perceived, and are ascertained by known and established rules; I mean the maxims and principles of the common law of our land. This law, as brought from the country of our ancestors, with here and there an accommodating exception, in nature of local customs, was the law of every part of the Union at the formation of the national compact; and did, of course, attach upon or apply to it.
for the purposes of exposition and enforcement. It is true, that the parties, acting in their sovereign capacity, might have discontinued that law, with respect to their new relations, and the duties thence arising, and have left them to arbitrary decisions: but that they intended a discontinuance so contrary to usage in similar cases, and so pregnant with mischief, is certainly not to be presumed; and is a supposition irreconcilable with those frequent references in the constitution, to the common law, as a living code.
By the rules then, of a known law, matured by the reason of ages, and which Americans have ever been tenacious of as a birth right, you will decide what acts are misdemeanors, on the ground of their opposing the existence of the national government or the efficient exercise of its legitimate powers.
Such, Gentlemen, very briefly, is the written and the unwritten law, which you will regard; and, by an impartial and faithful application, cause to be respected.
Although an indictment is but an accusation, leaving to the party the right of a traverse; yet it affects too nearly his fame and his liberty, to be founded on suspicion; and much less on pre-possession. If juries, instead of being a shield from oppression, would not become the instruments of it, let them look, not to the opinions of men, but their actions; and weigh them, not in the scales of passion or of party, but in a legal balance—a balance which is undceptive—which vibrates not with popular opinion; and which flatters not the pride of birth, or encroachments of power.
It is not, however, the whole design of your institution, to save the innocent: a pleasing, but not a less essential part, is, to bring the guilty to punishment.
Punishment, it is said of the Supreme Being, "is his strange work;" and it certainly is so of every human being, who retains his social impressions. But will avarice and ambition shall cease to progress with society, or become capable of a nobler restraint than fear, penal justice will be salutary. And we shall continue to admire that organization of inquests for its certainty, which combines with means of information and motives of arraignment, independency of condition and weight of character.
Unmoved with misconception of severity of laws you will also, I trust, be unembarrassed with the policy of them. Whether they are wise or not, are to be sure, questions of responsibility with those who enact them; though frequently dependent so much on a knowledge of the past and of the future, as well as of the present; so much an opinion, in reconciling domestic interests; and so little on calculation, in managing those which are foreign, as not to be easily decided.
Admitting, however, that the purity and the patriotism of our legislators, will leave them liable to err; it does not impair, at all the obligation of the citizen to obey, or of the magistrate to execute. Till they overlap the constitution, which guarded as they are by revisionary checks, and dependent as they are on public confidence is not to be expected; and certainly not believed to have happened, while a saving construction remains: Till then, the laws they prescribe are sacred and should be resistless. Neither the judicial or executive department, can for a moment, refuse them effect. It violates, together with their oaths that distribution of power without which civil liberty, amounts to little and republican hopes to nothing. It is under one constitution, a mutiny of authorities; and in one condition, a mutiny is a tempst!
To this sketch of your duty, gentlemen, it cannot be necessary to add peroration. You feel that you have a country, and believe there is a God.
South Carolina District.
The grand jury of the federal circuit court for the district aforesaid, held at the city of Charleston for said district on the tenth day of May Anno Domini 1799, beg leave to return their acknowledgements to his honor the Chief Justice of the United States of America, for his excellent charge and request the same may be published; at the same time inform him, they have no presentments to make.
James Gregorie, Foreman.
BOSTON, May 27.
The late news from Europe by the Minerva is not so decidedly good as we hoped, and had reason to expect. The Sanscoulots are still permitted to devastate Italy. But the cut-throat Jourdan has been repulsed on the Rhine by the Arch Duke Charles. Upon the whole, affairs do not wear an unfavourable aspect, and we think we may count upon the bloody power of France being considerably reduced before the end of the campaign. Its total downfall every honest man of every nation must fervently pray for. Till this is accomplished there will be no peace or security to the world.
Holland it appears is as miserable as she deserves to be for having accepted the embraces of the revolutionary tyrants. That country being made as it were out of the sea, by the former industry of the Dutch, always required constant vigilance in repairing the ocean frontier. Labour and money were constantly necessary, and were not grudgingly even by the slow and tight fisted Myneheers, as the preservation of the country depended on it. But the great nation having of late appropriated all the wealth of Holland to the cause of Liberty, the Dykes &c. have been entirely neglected, and the whole land is thereatened with inundation. Great mischiefs have already been experienced in several parts—much property and many lives lost.
The Progress in equipping the frigate Boston, is such as might be expected from those who superintend that business. All her lower masts are already in.

FURTHER Late Foreign Articles Per the Minerva, which arrived at Boston.
LONDON, April 2. Lord Nelson arrived at the Councils of the King of Naples at Palermo, where he waits the arrival of the Russian and Turkish fleets to direct the intended embarkation at Calabria.
An article from Vienna, dated March 16, mentions the expected arrival there of General Souwarow, whose army in Italy is to consist of 60,000 men, including the Corps of Conde. It adds, that 80,000 Russians were on the borders of Poland, and 24 more Russian regiments on their march along the Moldau. Mr. Grenville was expected on the next week from Berlin. It is stated from Strasbourg, March 17, that a considerable alarm had been created there, by an account that the Austrians were approaching that city.
The Austrian Official Bulletin of the attack made on General Aufenberg, gives much praise to that officer for the gallant defence he made with little more than 4,000 men against the French army under General Massena; whose loss, it is added, was nearly equal to the whole force of the Austrians. General Aufenberg appears to have been taken on his way to Coire.
The Blenheim of 90 guns is to be converted into an hospital ship at Chatham, in place of the Victory of 100 guns, which is ordered to be immediately fitted for sea. The Victory has ever been esteemed one of our best ships of war, and amongst the best fails and sea-boats in the Navy.
The Channel fleet under Lord Bridport is to consist of 19 ships of the line, amongst which are several three deckers, and the entire fleet excellently manned. The wind is at present favorable, and we doubt not that his Lordship, who is apprised of the impossibility of working down Channel, will profit by it; particularly, as from the Noble Admiral having been refused three days leave of absence, there must have been urgent cause for the departure of the fleet.
Letters from the Flemish coast express much apprehension of a renewed visit from the English. We know not of any immediate occasion for their alarm; but so great and so general has it been, that a continued chain of posts was formed from Gravelines to the Scheldt.
Seven thousand Dutch troops, under the orders of general Daendels, part of those which were to have been employed in the Irish expedition, were, according to letters from the Hague of the 23 ult. under orders to join the French army on the Rhine.
A body of 20,000 Turks have been collected from the several islands of the Archipelago, at Rhodes. A number of transports were attached to the squadron which failed from Constantinople under the orders of Sir John Smith, designed to convey them to Alexandria.
The French papers received on Thursday relate, under date Strasbourg, March 26, that on the 21st and 22nd there had been desperate fighting between the Austrians and French, in which the latter had "lost some officers," and retreated from Sulgan and Aufendorf to Pfulendorff and Meßkirch; and on the 22nd the headquarters were transferred to Stockach, and afterwards to Engen. The center of the army took a new position between town and Stockach, and encamped in the environs of Aach. The left wing, which has equally lost ground, was posted between Sigmaringen and Tuttlingen. The body commanded by general Vandamme, which was to advance to the left bank of the Danube, drew near to that river on the 22nd and effected a junction with the division of Gen. St. Cyr.
A continuation of the details dated the 2d April, states, that general Massena had written from Chur that he was in pursuit of general Laudon, who had escaped across the mountains, and that the Austrians had lost above 10,000 men in the Grisons. (The Austrians say their whole force in that country scarce exceeded 4,000 men.)
The accounts in the French papers of the actions which they represent to have taken place in Suabia, on the 21st and 22nd ult. are greatly contradictory, and bear strong evidence of fabrication. The German letters stated Jourdan's headquarters to have been established at Pfulendorff on the 18th, and that on the 20th, the advanced patrols of his wing nearly approached Sigmaringen; but the French Journalists mention his retreat to Pfulendorff, which for several days previous had been his head-quarters, and the retrograde movements of the left wing, as far as Sigmaringen (beyond which even its pioneers never had advanced) to be the consequence of the check they impute to him. These errors are flagrant, and we truly may have arisen from the awkward and embarrassed seal of the Journalist to extenuate or conceal the real defeat of their General.
April 5. The Reis Effendi is stated to have notified to the Foreign Ministers at Constantinople, that the English fleet which blockaded Alexandria, has captured two French ships of the line, three frigates, and 4 smaller vessels of war. This is probably the French squadron fitted out at Ancona, and said to be destined for the relief of Corfu, but which was by some of the foreign journals conjectured to be intended for Egypt.
April 10. As the late elections in France are expected to have a very important influence on the politics of that country, perhaps the names of some of the persons who have been appointed electors will not be considered as an uninteresting piece of intelligence at the present moment.
Among the electors chosen for the department of the Seine, which includes Paris, are Citizens Gueroult, formerly an eminent pro-
fessor in the University, and now chief minister of the Police; Derman de St. Pierre, author of the Studies of Nature; Desinuniers, formerly member of the Constituent Assembly; Petit, late minister of War; Penegaux, the Banker; Dupin, the commissioner of the Directory to the central administration of the Seine; Leblond, lately a municipal administrator; Arnaud, formerly president of the criminal tribunal of the Seine, and the substitute of the commissioner of the Directory to the Court of Appeal; Terrassé, the Archivist of the Tribunals; Mechel, a landed proprietor and a lawyer; Oge, a judge in the civil court; Lemaire, formerly a professor in the university, and afterwards a judge in one of the courts of Paris; Audelle and Mamemard formerly members; Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, a notary of the late Constituent Assembly; Brard, verifier of contributions; Bonnecarre, late director general in the office of the minister for foreign affairs; Anson, formerly a member of the Constituent Assembly and administrator general of posts; Ginguene, late ambassador to the Court of Sardinia; Pengon, official defender; Nepoux, justice of peace; Pont-Carr, a member of the old parliament; Martincoeur, a stock-broker; Lefebvre de Corbinier, judge of the Civil Tribunal, and administrator of the Prytane; Bergeret, director general of the liquidation of the debts of emigrants; Guiffrey, a lawyer; Jennel, municipal officer of the 7th Arrondissement; Simon, teacher of the Oriental languages; Lavieille, paper maker; Feuille, Sublunarian to the National Institute; Bayard, president to the court of Appeal; Bourgoine, formerly ambassador to Spain, and the author of several works; Treillard, the brother of the Director of the same name; Pommereul, general of division; Lebrun, the painter; Lecomte (de la Manche) the late director; Charles Lacroix, late minister for foreign affairs.
Antonelle, a celebrated leader of the Jacobin party, has been chosen an Elector in one of the Southern departments.
NEW-YORK, May 29. An in erecting cause a thing upon the acts to suspend the commercial intercourse between this country and the territories of France, was yesterday decided in the District Court for this district.
A vessel called the Harriott, belonging to a Mr. Venneman, of Philadelphia, was cleared out for Alexandria, in Virginia, for the island of St. Thomas, to which place she proceeded under the command of an American captain.
Soon after her arrival there, the vessel was conveyed to a naturalized Danish burgher, and sent under the same captain to Port Liberty in the island of St. Domingo. She there took in a cargo, proceeded to America, and arrived in New-York about the month of February last.
Upon her arrival she was seized as forfeited, and a claim to her filed on behalf of the person said to have purchased her in the island of St. Thomas.
On the part of the claimant, it was contended,
That the sale was bona fide; and that the law did not extend to any trade carried on in neutral bottoms.
The Court, however, without determining whether the sale was fair or collusive, decided,
That no trade could be carried on to France, or any of its dependencies, in a vessel that had quitted the United States after the first day July 1798, and which then belonged to an American citizen.
The counsel for the claimant were, Aaron Burr and Brockholst Livingston, Esqrs. Those for the prosecution were, Richard Harison, Esq. attorney for the district, Robert Troup, Esq. and General Alexander Hamilton.

BOSTON, May 29.
On a reperusal of the London Gazettes, to April 11th, we find nothing essential more than we gave in our last. A paper of the 9th, mentions, that the treaty of commerce then negotiating between Russia and the United States, promised to be highly beneficial to both powers.—The same paper contains an Arrest of the French Directory, dated the 22nd March as follows:
"The Executive Directory, considering, that the 4th article of the Arrest relative to the role d'équipage, required of neutral vessels, has given rise to abusive interpretations, relative to the role d'équipage of American vessels; and considering that it is important to put an end to the impediments which have resulted therefrom to the American commerce;—after having heard the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and of Justice;
Resolves, That by the 4th article of the above arrest, it was not intended that the navigation of American ships relative to the form of their roles d'équipage should be subject to other conditions than those imposed on all neutral bottoms, by the 12th article of the regulation of 1744, and by art. 9. of that of the 26th of July 1788. This is ordered to be inserted in the bulletin of the laws."
"Repentance comes, ye rogues, too late— When Death unbols the doors of Fate."
In the last Continel, we gave the details of the warlike operations in Europe, at the opening of the campaign of 1799. In them the public possibily only the French official accounts of those operations; and by them, the balance of achievement appears in favour of France. In military language, surprise and disaster are nearly synonymous:—The attack therefore, of Massena, on the scattered squadrons of the Austrians in the Grison country; and the surprise of those on the Adige, and the southern borders of the Tyrol, could not fail to give the assailants a temporary advantage. On the other hand, Jourdan, who was penetrating with rapidity into Germany, having met the enterprising Archduke so much looner than he expected, has been necessitated to retrace his steps into the recesses of the Black Forest, after having planted his ephemeral standard of victory in the heart of Suabia. At the close of March neither power had much to boast of. We must now wait the receipt of the German side of the picture; in order rightly to estimate the actual state of affairs, and to form expectations of the issue of the campaign.
GENERAL ELECTION.
The Legislature of this Commonwealth, will meet this day, at ten o'clock, at the New State-House, for the dispatch of public business. After the organization of the two branches (in which, without presumption, we anticipate an unanimous re-election of the officers of last year) the Supreme Executive and Legislative bodies will proceed to the Old Brick Meeting-House, where a Sermon will be delivered by the Rev. Paul Coffin, of Buxton. In the afternoon the two branches will convene for filling up the vacancies in the Senate, and the returns of Governor, &c. will be laid before them. There are Ten vacancies in the Senate; and there are Ten very suitable candidates to fill them.
The House, we expect, will consist of nearly two hundred members—Three quarters of whom are decided federalists.
The Independent Cadets, under Major Perkins, will do the escort duties of the day. The salutes, at twelve o'clock, will be paid by Major Wild's Sub-Legion of Artillery, from the Common and Copp's Hill.
The President of the United States will honor the solemnities of the day with his presence.
We lament, that His Excellency the Governor's state of health is such, as to prevent his participation in the duties, devotions and festivities of the day. Yesterday, however, he was so much at ease, as to be able to sign the Proclamation for dissolving the Old Legislature.
Yesterday the Officers of the 15th Regiment of the Permanent Army paid their respects to The President of the United States, at his residence in Braintree. The President was in full uniform;—and denied himself the pleasure of meeting the Academy of Arts and Sciences, which assembled in this town yesterday, that he might receive them.
The Officers of the Antient and Honorable Artillery, also paid their respects to the President yesterday.

Massena, Leader of the Savages in Italy! treads worthily in the steps of his brutal predecessor. He has already gained more victories in a week, and more splendid victories too, than Marlboro' or Frederick were able to achieve in a long life of perpetual war. The fields of Blenheim, Ramillies, and Malplaquet,—of Prague, Rosbach, and Torgau, present to us no exploits at all comparable with those of this modest, truth-loving Frenchman. Over an enemy more than four thousand strong, he has triumphed in twelve deadly engagements, making captives many thousands in each action, besides the unnumbered multitude of slain! The drunken madmen of the son of Philip, so finely wrought into Dryden's immortal Ode, could three times slay the slain—The Alexanders of modern days, can perform greater wonders than this, even without the aid of wine.
To the BOARD OF HEALTH.
IT must afford great satisfaction to the citizens of Philadelphia to see the Board of Health so well constituted—with a man at its head, who has distinguished himself by his philanthropy, firmness and activity in the melancholy fall of '98; and it has increased the public confidence greatly to see them at their posts so early, watching every avenue by which the enemy can enter. Much, gentlemen, hath been trusted to your care and prudence, both in the powers granted you by law, and in the importance of the object contemplated. Your authority wants nothing to render it completely adequate to the business, but the right of removing the resident and consulting physicians and quarantine-master, in case of ignorance or inattention. For after all that you can do, much, very much indeed, depends on their vigilance and faithfulness. It is expected, however, that your severe and scrutinizing eye will keep them to their duty; and in the execution of this delicate part of your office, you may rely on the prompt, firm and united support of your fellow citizens.
I have the full confidence that, with the blessing of heaven, you will not only preserve the city from contagion the ensuing season; but that you will be instrumental in settling the public opinion respecting its origin, and in wiping off from Philadelphia the foul stigma, which some men have pertinaciously endeavored to fix on her character. If the whimsical theory of these innovators were true, we might expect an annual visit of the Yellow Fever in Philadelphia, as regularly as the inhabitants of Grand Cairo look for the plague.
This circumstance is of the greatest importance to our common prosperity. The opinion of the domestic origin of this dreadful scourge, false and absurd as it is, besides its direct tendency to ruin commerce, and to sink the value of property, has done more to agitate and distress the minds of the people, and to arm with death the shafts of the disease than most people are aware of.—Sweep your streets and alleys; wash your gutters and common sewers; remove your graveyards; bring water from Schuylkill into the city; has been the unceasing cry of these gentry, as if they really intended to call off the public attention from the only part where the enemy was like to enter; that they might have a few more opportunities to perfect their knowledge in the use of the lancet, mercury and tartar emetic.—
Your province, gentlemen, is to keep a good look out; to watch the Delaware, and all the avenues leading into the city from New-York and Baltimore—and if you succeed in this respect, I will insure Philadelphia for six pence against the perils of the Yellow Fever for one year, without a pint of water being brought into her streets from Schuylkill or any other source.

Robert Ritchie, esq. lately appointed American Consul for the district of Port-au-Prince, in the Island of St. Domingo, sails this day in the brig Paragon, for that place.
A London paper after mentioning the capture of L'Insurgent by capt. Truxton, observes no people in the world possess more favourable opportunities than the Americans for rating and maintaining a formidable navy; the country is finely watered, and amply provided with secure and commodious harbours, and abounds with every article necessary for the construction and equipment of shipping.
If any circumstance could make the character of War between France and America more certain, it would be the number of captures of American ships written down in Lloyd's book of yesterday; and which were noticed in our letter from Plymouth. Lon. Pap.
Extract from the Log-Book of the ship Spy, Capt. Weiss, from Surinam.
May 7, at 1. P. M. sighted in sight with a main and fore-top sail set standing for us. Soon after observed Swedish colours; but supposed her to be a French privateer. She gained upon us; sail; we, therefore, cleared ship for action. At 2, hauled up our courses and fired a 6 pound shot head of her; upon which she brought to. Sent the second mate on board of her, with orders to behave very civil, and if French, to send the capt. on board with his papers. The boat soon returned, with Mons. Pierre, who said the fchr. was called Marianne of St. Bartholomews, that he was master and owner himself, had before been taken into Nevis and condemned—that he had bought her in, and went to St. Bartholomews, from whence he was bound to Guadaloupe with 500 bbls. of flour, some beef, and dry-goods, all his own. He was so agitated that he was necessary to calm his apprehension of a "fraternal squeeze." Though I suspected her to be French (the crew and passengers speaking that language only) I could not consistently with my instructions make a prize of her, as she was not equipped for war. Poor Mons. Pierre, was therefore, to his joy, and contrary to his expectations set at liberty.
"We regretted the supply of provisions going to the enemy, much more than the loss of the prize, which every man seemed equally willing to part with, as at first to fight for."

ELGANCE OF MANNERS.
Paddy and his wife once accidentally dined in genteel company; the dinner was excellent, but the lady who did the honors of the table, particularly anticipated the pleasure, she should receive, in treating her guest with an apple pie, dispatched a servant for plates; in the mean time, this rare and delicious dish, attracting the notice of Paddy, he seized it, assuring the company, he had never seen one before at that season of the year, then placing it on his knee, before the plates were brought he devoured the whole. The ladies blushed, the gentlemen frowned, & the wife looking significantly at her husband, swore, "he always was such a damned hog." This ye enlightened citizens of Vermont, was the man you have selected to represent you in Congress.
PURITY OF ELECTION.
When the name of John Willard was seen in the democratic list of Council of Censors, by the few who were acquainted with the character of Doctor Willard of Middlebury, they asked the Directory, with great surprise, if that was the man. "No indeed!" was the reply, "it is John Willard Esquire, over the mountain, a gentleman of the greatest candor and abilities."—Quere is the Doctor legally entitled to a seat?

TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the pre- sent 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 nest 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 in some measure have a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars, 75 cts. per volume, in advance, and 3 dollars, whole bound; but, as the publisher does not intend to print many more than the number subscribed for a considera- ble time, the price will 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. $3 Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have 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- mencement 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, had they been transmitted to our days! Time, that destroys everything, 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: 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 living, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Con- gress, we have experienced the convenience 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 has obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed proceeding the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may be sincerely intended him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is so 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; to that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase co- pies of that record for themselves.

G. SHAW, Respectfully informs the public, he has received from ROBERT JOHNSTON, Apothecary, No. 20, Green Street, Soho, Lon- don, a fresh and very considerable supply of his highly esteemed Medicine. AWARE of the depredations made on every public medicine of established repute and extensive sale, R. Johnston, obtained the King of England's Patent for his invention, not "to recommend" but "to distinguish," Whitehead's Effence of Mustard from SPURIOUS IMITATIONS. Five years have now elapsed since Mr. Johnston first made known to the world this very extraordinary medicine; during this short period, its efficacy has been clearly demon- strated that its sale has far exceeded any for- mer example; comparatively there are few fami- lies in England or the United States which have not either heard of or experienced its beneficial effects and with heartfelt satisfaction he had the happiness to declare Whitehead's Effence of Mustard has cured more persons afflicted with Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Palsy, Com- plaints of the Stomach and other Pain- ful Maladies. Than all the Medicines ever before made pub- lic, indeed the instances of its efficacy and letters of acknowledgement from "the most re- spectable characters" are so numerous that a large volume could not possibly contain them, it has also obtained the approbation of the most eminent men of the faculty and is honoured by the use and recommendation of the first families in England, Ireland and America. A COUNTERFEIT. R. JOHNSTON has reason to believe a large quantity under the name of "Improved Effence of Mustard," as well as many others, has been shipped for America, and considers it his duty to prevent imposition and disappointment. He therefore requests the afflicted to be par- ticular in the purchase of his bottles, boxes, la- bels, and bill of directions which are closely copy- ed, and words "by royal authority," artfully substituted for the words "by the king's patent" which may elude common observation. The Genuine is distinguished by the signature of R. Johnston, in his own hand writing on each label, and as an additional security is fur- ther signed on the outside wrapper by his only agent for the United States, G. SHAW, No. 120 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, by whom it is sold wholesale and retail, in pills and in a fluid state at one dollar each, box or bottle FOR CHILBLAINS, SPRAINS AND BRUISES. It is a certain and effectual remedy, seldom requiring more than three or four applications. To the candid and liberal of the faculty, R. Johnston respectfully submits the following observations. The Fluid Effence of Mustard, is an embrocation worthy their particular atten- tion, it differs in its nature from all others, and is out of the beaten tract of general practice— It is an active stimulant, easily controlled, may be either increased or diminished in its strength by the different methods of use, it is both ele- gant and convenient and is frequently found in the extemporaneous preparations of their bre- thren in England. The above Genuine Medicine, as well as many others of the first celebrity may be had by appointment of G. Shaw, or Mr. G. Bailey, Wilmington, Dr. Barrill, Maiden Lane, New- York, Messrs.
