FOR SALE.
TO GRAZIERS. In pursuance of the last will and testament of General David Forman, deceased, will be exposed to sale, at public vendue, (on the premises) on Wednesday the 25th day of October next, at ten o'clock in the forenoon of that day.
THAT very valuable FARM and PLANTATION, lying on the Long Marsh in Queen Anne's county, state of Maryland, containing about five hundred acres, about fifteen miles from Chester town, six from Church hill, and twelve from the head of Chester. This property is an object of very great speculation, particularly to any person in the grazing line, and in fact to any person wishing to sell their money in lands. There is a very large proportion of laid farm laid down in timothy, and will cut grass sufficient, I doubt not, to pay a neat profit of 500 dollars a-year. There are also about twenty acres more cleared and fit to lay down in grass; and what renders it more valuable is, that when once the timothy is well set, it will last any person's life time. And what is called the bed of the marsh, (of which there is a considerable part belonging to this farm) the soil is from four to six feet deep, of a black rich loam, and will average from two and an half to three tons of timothy an acre; and for two years past all the hay which could be spared from the farm, has sold at the black for five pounds a ton. The arable land is calculated for wheat, rye, Indian corn, and particularly for what is called kite-foot or bright tobacco; it is well timbered, and contains maple swamps, that when cleared, will make meadows equal to any on the farm. Any person wishing to purchase, can view the premises on application to Mr. Stephen Forman, on said farm. The conditions of sale will be, one half the purchase money on the first day of January next, and the remainder on the first day of May following. WILLIAM G. FORMAN, Surviving Executor.

EASTON, Sept. 23 1799.
Mr. FENNO,
THE following truly singular advertisement having appeared in the Easton paper of Northampton county, (the den of jacobins) I wish, for the satisfaction of the public, it was made more generally known, you will therefore oblige a subscriber by giving it a place in your useful paper:
ADVERTISEMENT.
THE public already know that I have offered myself as a candidate for the office of Sheriff of this county. Some of those who are my enemies have circulated a report very industriously, that I have become a federalist. I should have hoped, that twenty-five years exertions in the cause of republicanism would have prevented any person from giving credit to so improbable a falsehood—As, however, some people may possibly be induced to believe it, although evidently circulated for electioneering purposes, I am induced to publish the following certificate.
JOHN MULHALLON.
We certify, that at a conversation which took place at the office of James Ralston, Esq. on Monday the 29th of July last, it was mentioned to Judge Mulhallon, by a gentleman in company, who was a federalist, that if the Judge were to be more moderate in his opposition to James Ross, the federal candidate for governor, he (Judge Mulhallon) would get a great many federal votes: to which the Judge warmly replied, "that he wanted no favors of that kind, that he would support M c Kean at all risks, and that he would dispute the ground for him, inch by inch, even if it should injure his own election;" or words to that purpose.
JACOB ABEL. J. RALSTON. GEO. IHRLE. ABSALOM REEDER.
The subscriber informs his friends and fellow Citizens, in addition to the above certificate, that I can make it appear, that in a large and general meeting held at the house of Christopher Mixsell's, which has already appeared, with the ticket annexed, that a gentleman made the same observation, that it would be more prudent for me to be moderate in respect to the election of Governor. I then got up and told them. I would dispute the ground inch by inch for the election of M c Kean, if I should lose my own election. Therefore, I hope, the citizens of this county will credit no report of any kind which may be circulated with the view to injure my election, unless they publish it in the newspapers of this county, sign their names to it, and that so long before the election that I may have time to vindicate my character as I now have.
JOHN MULHALLON.
August 8th
HOW pleasing is the task to snatch from the jaws of persecution the cause of federalism, and place it beyond the reach of the low grovelling wretch, who attempts to sap its foundation. To expose in their true colors, those who attempt to defame it, is the duty of every American, and real friend to his country. Monsieur Mulhallon having came forward openly in the face of day, he therefore becomes fair game for every one. He complains that his enemies have circulated a report, that he has become a federalist. Gracious Heaven! is the government of the United States so lenitive as to foster and protect a wretch who has the effrontery to declare that he is its enemy!—This hero of Long Island also informs the public, that he, should he even lose his election, will dispute the ground inch by inch, for M c Kean. Bold indeed, and with the weapons of his party, I make no doubt, falsehood, chicanery and intrigue. But his eggregious vanity exceeds all: He says, it is false, I am become a federalist. This I believe, for even in a multiplicity of lies there is some truth. The federal party would despise a character so mean and contemptible; he is fit only to be the tool of party, and jackall of faction. Every thinking man will see his drift, and that his declarations give the lie to his principles, for in attempting to impose upon others he has overreached himself; and I trust, there yet remains patriotism sufficient, in the county of Northampton, not to give their suffrages to a man of sentiments so abandoned. M c Kean, deliberating in his garret, (for genius like his love to foar) on the surest means of gaining his election, and confiding, that perhaps the majority of the county were anti-federalists, exclaim, I will go and make some warm expressions before characters, whose respectability will not be called in question, respecting M c Kean's election; this will make his friends mine—the office of Ralston afforded a fit opportunity, where four gentlemen were convened. He there thundered out his exclamation, and after considerable trouble, got them to certify the words of John Mulhallon, the candidate for the sheriff's office, I say trouble, for they were the friends of government, and wished not to meddle in dirty business; but his scheme was too shallow, and his plans will undoubtedly be defeated. It may not be improper to enquire who and what Monsieur Mulhallon is, where he came from, and what he now follows: Mulhallon is by birth an Irishman, and by principles, as far as I can understand from his publication, a united one, that he has spent twenty-five years in the cause of republicanism. I think false, for in 1776, Mulhallon acted as a Lieutenant in a company of militia, was taken at Long Island—received a parole—did that which no man of honor would do, broke it, and never was exchanged. If this military act deserves credit, he is entitled to
it wholly, for my simple self, I will never court popularity at the expence of honor and integrity. This, I must acknowledge, is the only military achievement of his I have ever heard of, and would stamp with infamy, any character but one so debased as his.
By fortunate events, which too often await the unworthy, Monsieur Mulhallon now graces the bench of Northampton, as an Associate Judge, every Judge prior to his taking his seat is obliged to swear he will support the constitution of this state, and the constitution of the United States, or in plain words (for fear Mulhallon should not understand) the federal constitution. The man who swears this, were he not a federalist before, must become one. How far Monsieur Mulhallon's declarations agree with this, I leave the world to judge, for my part I think it smells confoundedly of perjury; not that I would accuse his honor for one moment with a crime of this magnitude, but attribute it to forgetfulness. The citizens of Northampton county will consider well what confidence can be placed in the man who, although twenty years have elapsed, falsified the honour of a soldier, and must have been a disgrace to the corps to which he belonged—and by this act exposing his brother officers, the companions of his danger, to the hardships of a solitary confinement, was it not or his effrontery, humanity would draw a veil over the deed and bury it in eternal oblivion. But you, my fellow citizens, will shew by your suffrages, whether you respect morals, integrity and the friends of your country, or give them to a man devoid of all.
A FARMER OF '76.
To the Electors of Pennsylvania.
WHEN a candidate for the highest office in the State is presented for the public opinion, his character, so far as relates to fitness for the station, becomes an object of importance, on which every citizen, capable of throwing light, would be deficient in his duty to his fellow citizens, if he neglected the opportunity before the choice was made. The ensuing election for a governor of the State of Pennsylvania, is one of the most important crises that this State has ever experienced: It is to determine whether we are to govern ourselves or be governed by foreigners? There are but two candidates, one of whom has given sufficient evidence of his adherence to the principles of liberty, substantiated in the constitutions of the U. States and of this State; the other has given as pregnant proof that he adheres to nothing but what accords with his own interests, nor longer than those interests are subserved by his consistency. So much has been already written on the characters of these candidates, that it would be unnecessary to add to the labors of the press, if the writers had brought their facts closer together, and given a concise picture of Mr. M c Kean's character as it results from them.
I propose to shew from what has appeared, that Mr. M c Kean has been for above thirty years, a man inconsistent with himself, varying from opinions openly avowed, to the contrary, in repeated instances; and that he has never maintained any opinion, which he has not in some period of his public life and conduct, directly contradicted—that he has been a whig and tory, a constitutionalist and a republican, a federalist and an anti-federalist, as often as his interest and ambition have rendered either of these characters most subservient to them.
Attend to the following facts, known to every body, and the result will be evident:
The stamp act passed by the British parliament, wherein we were not represented, and whereby a large revenue was expected to be collected, was to take effect in 1765. Mr. M c Kean was among the number of those who after some temporising entered into an opposition to it; he was a member of that congress of delegates from most of the then British colonies which met at New York, to take measures to procure a repeal of the act, and his boasts of weight of influence, and services in that body, are well known to all who have heard him for the last twenty years, spout out his own praise. He was also an opponent to the declaratory act of 1766, wherein after the repeal of the stamp act, the British parliament asserted their right to make laws binding to the American colonies in all cases whatsoever; and to the act passed the next year (1767), to enforce this assertion by imposing duties on tea, paper, glass and painters colors imported into America; and to all the acts passed for raising revenue in these (then) colonies by the authority of the British parliament; these ideas were popular, and he joined with the people in the opposition, whereby he raised himself to consequence, and established a character as a whig, a friend to the people, to liberty, and the rights of man. Thus he continued until his interest led him to another view of things; in 1772 the collector of the customs of the port of New Castle died, and Mr. M c Kean saw an office vacant worth from 100. to 150. sterl. a-year, which he conceived only waited his asking for it. It was in the gift of the governor of the Delaware counties in the first instance, of the board of commissioners of the customs at Boston in the second, and lastly, of the King, or rather of the minister of Great Britain. Mr. M c Kean was lawyer enough to know that if he accepted this office, he must take an oath to carry the revenue laws of Great Britain into execution in their fullest extent, according to their form and effect. This however, did not prevent him from studying his own emolument; immediately on the death of the collector, he sent a messenger to Philadelphia, requesting from Mr. James Hamilton, (then governing as president of the council ad interim between the departure of governor John Penn, and the arrival of governor Richard Penn,) a commission, as col-
lector of the customs of the port of New Castle on Delaware: Mr. president Hamilton, exercising authority under the crown, no doubt, thought he could recommend himself to his superiors by purchasing off a flaming patriot with an office, whose salary paid by the King, was but 60. a-year, and therefore immediately granted the commission, and under it Mr. M c Kean took the oath of office: By this he became a complete tory, that is, a person sworn to carry into effect the odious duty of enforcing revenue from the colonies by acts of a parliament, in which they were not represented. This is not all, Mr. M c Kean received a second commission from the commissioners of the customs at Boston, who had the general superintendence of the collection of the British revenue in the colonies, and whom Mr. M c Kean had often, while he was a whig, branded as an unconstitutional board; under this second commission, he again took the oath, and was installed collector of the hated duties; and in all probability, he would have been obliged to have packed up his all and gone off, with the other revenue officers of the crown, on or before the declaration of independence, if the king's pleasure notified through lord North, had not superceded him by the appointment of another collector of the customs for the port of New Castle, and taken away his salary of 60. a-year and the contingent perquisites of 50. or 60. more. This converted him; and he became again a whig, and was appointed a member of the congress of 1774. During that year and 1775, he carefully observed the political weathercock which was then against the declaration of independence, until the reception of the pamphlet under the title of Common Sense, assured him that the moon had changed under a favorable aspect, and that the wind was settled in that direction, he then also became a settled whig. It is needless to relate his conduct in Delaware, Jersey, and Pennsylvania during the period of British invasion; it will form some curious paragraphs in a future history of the revolutionary war, when party spirit and party connections, shall have so subsided and dissolved as that historical truth may be told; wherefore, having established the first assertion, that he has been a whig and a tory, alternately as it suited his views of ambition and emolument, I proceed to the establishment of the second.
The first constitution of Pennsylvania was formed by a convention, composed as that of France afterwards was, of a few designing men, imitators of Cromwell, and each desirous of obtaining the protectorship of the State; and the many, the ignorant deluded tools of the faction, who were ready to give all power to their leaders; a letter now exists in print, from one Cannon, a schoolmaster in Philadelphia, a man then governing the mob, as Marat afterwards did the suburbs St. Antoine of Paris, which was circularly addressed to the electors of the several counties, recommending to them to chuse for their delegates to the convention, men of little learning, for that men of general or legal knowledge only confounded one another, and were unfit for the office of framing a constitution; his recommendation was so well attended to in many of the counties, that when the Convention met, and a committee appointed to draft the form of a constitution, reported, it was moved to have several copies of it transcribed , that the members might have an opportunity of reading it over at their lodgings, to which an amendment was offered, to substitute the word printed , instead of transcribed ; because a majority of them could not read written hand. This motion was carried, and the report was printed, and hence the origin of printing all things depending before our public bodies. This learned convention established the first constitution of Pennsylvania, and there was not to be found a lawyer whose reputation had been established in Pennsylvania, who would accept the office of Chief Justice under it: Mr. M c Kean, then little known here, accepted it against his own decided judgment often expressed, and became a constitutionalist, a term of distinction assumed by the friends of that form of government, exercised by a single legislative branch, and he served the party who thus took him by the hand, faithfully, as long as it suited the purposes of his ambition and emolument, but no longer. In the course of a few years it was discovered that a government of a single branch was equally tyrannical, if not more so, than a despotic monarchy; that the passions of the many became concentrated and operated with as much consistency and more violence than those of an individual, and were more intolerant than the limited monarchy from which we had emancipated our country; the supporters of these opinions were filed republicans , in contradistinction from the constitutionalists ; they had waged wordy war in the newspapers against each other from 1779 to 1786, and in the course of ten years, the public opinion became decided in favour of republicanism , which in the public mind bore the idea of a representative government, divided into three branches, elected by and accountable at certain fixed periods to the people, by periodical elections. In 1786 a project originating in Virginia, was hearkened to by many of the other states, who sent representatives to Annapolis, in Maryland, to consider of some plan to render the federal government, then weak, from its composition of all power in one branch, more efficient in its administration of the affairs of Thirteen States; this meeting could effect nothing; their defective powers were however enlarged, and the states more fully represented, at a meeting the next year (1787) at Philadelphia; when the present constitution of the United States was framed and recommended to the people of the several States for consideration, a convention of each to be called in the manner recommended. Mr. M c Kean clearly perceiving
that the tide of popular opinion was coming with a full swell in favour of this constitution, suffered himself to be carried like a feather along with it, and when, in the year following its adoption, the constitution of the state was proposed to be rendered more conformable to that of the United States, he deserted his old friends the constitutionalists, who had raised him to the Chief Justiceship, who had dubb'd him with (to use his own expression from the Bench) the title of Doctor of Laws, the highest dignity attainable in the profession, and became a republican.
The contest about the new constitutions of the United States and of this state, at this time, gave new names to the contending parties without any alteration in their views. The Constitutionalists were men who, despising all order in government, and contending for an exact equality among men, whether rich or poor, learned or unlearned, whether wise or idiots, insisted that their representatives should meet in one chamber, and by a majority of persons decide on all acts of legislation; while the Republicans insisted that the wiser and better part should be selected from the people at large, and be placed in two chambers with powers of negative over the acts of each other, in order to prevent that simultaneous effusion of passion which a single branch was commonly affected with by the impulse of some aspiring demagogue who would always by popular flattery be able to insinuate himself into their good opinion, and become their leader, their Cromwell. This difference of opinion gave new names to the parties, and Federalists was substituted for Republicans, Antifederalists for Constitutionalists: while the contest was doubtful, the latter submitted to the appellation and even assumed the title, but when by the loud acclaim of the people the constitutions were ratified, they wished to change it, and many arts have been tried to bring about a reform—Newspapers have been set up and fallen down in the attempt, and yet it has not succeeded but in the jargon of the party. The Antifederalists have assumed the name of Republicans, but none beside themselves understand them as meant by it, and it is left to the Aurora and a few of its followers to designate them by it; while the true character of Republicans is maintained by the Federalists, who first assumed and always deserved the honored name: during this change of the Shibboleth of Party it was not difficult for Mr. M c Kean to turn with the tide; he thought his interest to be, to swim with the current, and he suffered himself to be enrolled in the list of Federalists: he advocated the cause of the new constitution of this state with energy; nay, he exceeded the excesses of those of his competitors who are now called Monarchists, and advocated principles of inequality among the people which would be too tedious to enumerate—here he was a Federalist in the extreme, but his services soon passed into oblivion—he was left to be merely Chief Justice of a single state—he was not promoted to the bench of the Union—he conceived himself neglected—he waited the next change of the moon, the next turn of tide, in hope that he might meet a favorite weed or straw to attach himself to, and flow into the port of an higher office. The clamours excited by Genet and the French party, and by his Reporter, Dallas, seemed to him a fit opportunity to serve his purpose; he embraced the occasion, and from a firm supporter of Federalism, he became an Antifederalist; and ever since he presided at the meeting in the State-house Yard, when M c Clenachan proposed to kick the British treaty to Hell, he has been the most inveterate enemy to the people and the government of the United States, wholly attached to a foreign nation which has nothing to recommend it but the assumed names which he has discarded of liberty and republicanism.
FELLOW-CITIZENS,
This is the man recommended to your suffrages as Governor of the state, and I call upon all who shall vote for him to reflect within their own minds in which of his characters they mean to patronize him; whether as a Whig before 1772, a Tory and Custom-house officer in 1772 and 1773, a timid member of Congress till 1776, a Constitutionalists from thence till 1787, a Federalist of the highest tone from thence till 1793, or an Antifederalist, a Jacobin, a Foreigner, a Frenchman from thence to the present time.
Philadelphia, 7th Sept. 1799.
Mr. FENNO,
Inclosed I find you a letter from the committee of correspondence for Washington county, covering a certificate from a number of the most respectable gentlemen in that county, proving Mr. JAMES ROSS of Pittsburgh's attachment to the Christian Religion, in contradistinction to a false and scandalous report propagated and industriously circulated, by the friends to Mr. M c Kean's election, "that Mr. Ross is an Atheist, a Deist," &c. I have known Mr. Ross from his youth, and his father and friends of York county, where he was born, and a more religious and virtuous family is not to be produced. In my long acquaintance with him, I have never heard an irreligious or impious expression from him, and believe him to be a moral, wise and virtuous citizen, a good Christian, and well qualified to fill the important office of Governor. LEVI HOLLINGSWORTH.
Washington, August 28, 1799.
SIR,
THE committee in this county for promoting the election of Mr. Ross, have learnt where Mr. Ross is less known than here, currency is given by the enemies to his election, (the same conscientious men who supported the election of Mr. Jefferson,) to a report, that Mr. Ross is a Deist.
To prevent the effect of this report, one of the committee in this town, where Mr. Ross lived more than ten years, and until
about five years ago, applied to such elders and other persons, noted for their piety and regard for religion, as have known Mr. Ross during the whole of this time, and as easily could be applied to, and they cheerfully signed the enclosed certificate. It was regretted that the absence of the Rev. John M c Millan, (who is the minister nearest to this place, is intimately acquainted with Mr. Ross, and is zealous for his election,) and of the other Presbyterian ministers in this neighbourhood, who are now sitting in Presbytery, more than sixty miles from this town, prevented the obtaining of their contradiction to this false and malicious report. But it was not tho' prudent for the sake of this, to suffer the report to gain force, by the delay of another week's post: especially as those who have signed, are distinguished characters, for good sense, honesty and piety, and respectable for their stations in society. Mr. Allison is judge of this county, Mr. Swarenger, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Ritchie are justices of the peace, and the last has been a member of assembly. Mr. Cottin and Mr. Brice, are county commissioners, and the last has been a member of assembly. Mr. Cunningham is a substantial merchant and Mr. Mercer a substantial farmer. These gentlemen being all in town at the time, were readily applied to, and you may be assured, that the certificate of any one of them, is sufficient to outweigh the report. Many more names could have been obtained, but to seek numbers was thought to be giving too much respect to the slander, and a selection of a few unquestionable characters was thought best.
The presence of the Rev. John Smith, of Cannonburgh, a learned and respectable Seceder minister, who, about three years ago, removed to this country from Octorara, in Lancaster county, enabled us to procure his certificate also, and upon this we are content to rest the character of Mr. Ross and of ourselves.
We could with as much ease have obtained as positive a denial of all the other malicious reports lately propagated against Mr. Ross, and we do pledge ourselves that they are false. But we thought it not of consequence to do so, as they are, we trust, generally known to be false; and as such reports from unprincipled and designing men are usually expected on such occasions. But there are so few means of ascertaining the credit due to a report of infidelity and a respect for religion is of such importance in public stations, that we thought it a duty to our fellow citizens to disprove the aspersion of deism .
Least, therefore, this aspersion should mislead good people, unacquainted with Mr. Ross, the committee here request that you will publish, if you think proper, these documents in the newspapers or in hand bills, as you think best, and in such manner as you think most fit. The original of these certificates is in the hands of the committee of Franklin county. A. ADDISON, Chairman of the committee of Washington co.
Washington, (P.) Aug. 26th 1799.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
WE the subscribers, regular members of sundry Presbyterian congregations in the county of Washington, have heard with surprise and regret, that among the many slanderous reports propagated against the respectable character of James Ross, Esq. of Pittsburgh, who has been proposed to be chosen governor of Pennsylvania, one is that he is a Deist .
We trust that we have a sincere regard for truth and religion, and we feel ourselves bound by the duties we owe to both, so far as our testimony can go to remove from our fellow citizens, this obnoxious to the free exercise of our votes in favour of Mr. Ross. God forbid that we should assist in placing in such an important a station, a man defective in respect for religion. And we but obey the dictates of our own consciences in making the following declaration of what we know of Mr. Ross, from our own observation and indubitable information.
Mr. Ross was born of respectable and pious parents, of the Presbyterian church in York county in this state, and received from them a religious education. He is well instructed in the scriptures and the doctrines of christianity as held by our church; and we are persuaded believes and respects them. He lived long in this town, and longer in this county, and we have had good opportunities of knowing him. Where he has lived, there has not been any staid minister, and only occasional supplies for public worship. But he has contributed to the support of public worship where he lived, and attended it regularly and there is nothing known to us to justify the imputation that he is an infidel or deist, and we think this imputation false and malicious.
In witness whereof we have hereto set our hands.
  A. Swarenger  Elders of Washington Congregation.    Robert Stockton    J. seph Wherry  Elders of Buffalo Congregation.    John Cotton    James Brice    James Mitchell, Elder of Peters Congrega.    John Mercer  Elders of Chartiers Congregation.    James Allison    Craig Ritchie  Elders of Chartiers Congregation.    Alexander Cunningham.  
Since I lived in Washington county, I have had opportunity of conversing and being well acquainted with James Ross, Esq. of Pittsburgh, and of knowing his character from serious and respectable persons well acquainted with his opinions and conversation, and I am well persuaded that he is sincerely respectful of the Christian Protestant Religion, and do verily believe that the report of his being an infidel or deist is altogether without foundation.

Mr. McKean was lately told at table, that the people of Carlisle had once burned him in effigy. He waxed warm, and at length observed, that Gen. Washington and all the great men had been hung in effigy, in every State in the Union. The company expressed their astonishment by their looks and their silence, when the Judge added "on a sign post I mean."
Cardinal Chigi was esteemed to have a weak mind, because he had boasted of writing three years with the same pen. How much more frivolous an act was that of a Chief Justice sending across the Atlantic for a wig!
What would Lord Mansfield think of a Judge, who walked arm in arm with the Crier of the Court? This happened at Sunbury. The Crier accosted him, on his lighting, with "How does your Honor do?" This was pleasing: "I hear your Honor's to be made Governor." The Chief straightway enquires after the health of the Crier's family; and is shortly seen walking about the Court House in close conversation with him.
The "Poor Man's Enemy" professes to be the advocate of Liberty, Equality, and the Rights of Man. The same enemy of the poor publicly opposes the Emancipation of the Negroes.
It is something novel, even in the annals of Democratic impudence, to behold a man aspiring to the government of those whom he wished, "from the bottom of his heart," to be invaded by Twenty Thousand United Irishmen, and Twenty Thousand French Sansculottes!
FRANCE, convulsed and agonized by the strong potions of political poison, prohibited by an abominable government, and blindly taken for several successive years, is now in the last stage of dissolution. With her, we sincerely hope, will expire the rage of revolution, the horrors of war, and that rapacious and murderous system of abuse which has flayed the four quarters of the globe with human gore.
Perhaps the page of history cannot exhibit so detestable a picture of the depravity of human nature, as has been delineated in France, since the commencement of the present revolution. The most solemn treaties have been violated, national honor treated with contempt, and every species of excess committed on the lives and property of those who have, unhappily, been subjected to their power. The tear of sensibility has started from ten thousand eyes, and the feeble prayers of the widow and the orphan have ascended to heaven, in judgment against the inhuman policy of this barbarous nation.

It will be remembered, that the Board of Commissioners on British claims, sitting at Philadelphia, ceased their functions without going through the business—since which, the Commissioners on American claims, sitting in London, have also discontinued their business. While we regret this difference between two friendly powers, we cannot think, but that an accommodation will speedily take place. It should be the policy, as it is unquestionably the interest of both nations, to be just and magnanimous to each other.
A letter from Thomas Auldjo, Esq. dated Cowes, 14th July, has the following paragraph, which we insert for the information of our commercial friends, viz.—"in the Almanacks, &c. printed in America, I am in the list of Consuls put down as resident at Poole, which misleads American captains. My residence is at Cowes. My commission is for Pool, Cowes, and such ports as are nearer my residence than that of any other Consul."
A paragraph in the Ami des Lois, gives the following account of the state of Holland:
"A part of the corn which we furnished to Holland has passed into England. The Dutch government has secret relations with our enemies, and is to facilitate the descent projected by Pitt, with 40,000 Russian and English troops, to replace the Stadholder. Mr. Dundas has just proposed to the House of Commons to reduce the militia and augment the regulars, in order to carry, he said very explicitly, offensive war among the allies of France. This can only relate to Holland; it is the present government of Holland which has sent arms, powder, and money to the Rebels in Belgium. The Batavian Patriots, who alone could have opposed this infamous treason, have been imprisoned by order of the French. Their liberation has been solicited in vain—they are no longer in condition to pay the price annexed to it."

"Temperance and moderation are, at least as frequent among those whom we call superior, as they are among the lower classes of men; and however we may affix the character of sobriety to mere chespefs of diet, and other accommodations with which any particular age, or rank of men, appears to be contented, it is well known, that costly materials are not necessary to constitute a debauch, nor profligacy less frequent under the thatched roof than under the lofty ceiling. Men grow equally familiar with different conditions, receive equal pleasure, and are equally allured to sensuality in the Palace and in the Cave. Their acquiring in either habits of intemperance or sloth depends on the remission of their pursuits, and on the distaste of the mind to other engagements, if the affections of the heart be kindled, the costly furniture of the Palace, as well as the homely accommodations of the Cottage, are neglected; and men, when aroused, reject their repose; or, when fatigued, embrace it alike on the lilkem bed, or on the couch of straw."
By the arrival at New-York, of the schooner Two Sisters, 15 days from Port de Paix.
On the 8th August arrived here the sloop Sally and Kitty, of Philadelphia, Edmund Glover, master, who failed July 7 from Cape Henlopen, bound to La Guira; on the route infli. sprung a leak; on the 14th carried away the partners of his main-leak still increasing, split up three planks of her deck by her mast; being loose and no possibility of confining it, expended her cables round her mast head, as shrouds and stays to support her mast; nailed blanket with boards over her deck to prevent her filling. The leak encreased to that degree, that with pumps going and constantly bailing, the several times got the water a foot deep on cabin platform: was at length obliged to bear away before the wind under balance main-sail and head of jib. In that condition, was half full of water, relieved by boats August 3d, and carried to anchor at St. Louis, Hispaniola; there finding the most of his cargo ruined that was perishable, landed a part, which enabled him to proceed to Port de Paix, where he arrived August 8.
The above was taken from sloop Sally and Kitty's log book. The situation of the vessel and cargo being examined by all the masters of the vessels in port was found truly distressing, and the people extremely fatigued by pumping.
FRANKFORT August 22.

By a gentleman who arrived in town last evening, we are informed, that those villains who broke the Dan-ford jail, (the HANS) have added two more murders to the black catalogue of their crimes, since our accounts of last week, they went into a house belonging to a Mr. Graves, killed him and his son, and took their bodies from the house, and threw them over the fence in some weeds, where they were found two or three days after, by the Amell.

Three men were killed about 12 days since by the Indians on the post road up the Ohio river, between Muskir gum and Scioto; this information is said to be brought by the post who saw two of the bodies scalped. ibid.
A gentleman who arrived in town yesterday from Bourbon, says, accounts were just received there, that the Indians had killed upwards 300 people on Mad river; what degree of credibility is due to this account we cannot say, as we did not see the gentleman, and do not know from what source the report came to Bourbon. ibid.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 3.
The found of Peace, Peace, and no War with the Indians, echoes throughout the whole territory—the frightened frontiers have quit their forts and returned to their cottages.—Major Ludlow has returned from running the Indian boundary line, who says the Indians did not forbid him running the line, that when he spoke to them, he received no satisfactory answer, that they appeared in great confusion, and talked a great deal about the Chickasaws—in short, it appears from a strict enquiry, that the chief of the Indian news which has been imposed on the printers, has been fabricated by a CLARK or some designing person.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 7.
FROM CORRESPONDENTS.
We have accounts from Washington county, from a much better and purer source than the Herald of Liberty, that Mr. Rofs will, at least, divide the votes there, with his opponent—and, it is expected that before the election, those citizens who are at present led astray by the falsehoes circulated with great industry, will be convinced that it is for their interest, and the interest of the state, to elect James Rofs, Governor, and keep down the man who suffered his daughter to renounce her religion, in order to form a connection with a Spanish nobleman.
Tench Coxe, and Co. will continue their abuse against Mr. Rofs and his friends—this abuse is retailed out for the adification of the people of this country, in two Jacobin papers, printed at Washington and Green-burgh; but Tench will miss his aim—The citizens of the Western Country will put no belief in what a man says, who in the hour of danger, when the black clouds of despair were fast gathering around us, deserted his country, and became a pilot to those who were seeking its downfall. It is a bad sign, when such characters as Tench Coxe come forward to recommend and support a cause.
It is said, that, if the father-in-law of the Spanish minister is elected Governor, Tench Coxe, the Pilot of Lord Howe and his army into Philadelphia, is to be the Secretary of State. If we judge from his former conduct, he will be a proper tool in the hands of the enemies of our government, of any dark and infamous plot, they may wish to pursue against the liberties of the people.

Captain Butler, arrived yesterday from Port Republican, informs, that the war between Toussaint and Rigaud is purified with the utmost severity—that each has offered a premium for the head of the other—that Toussaint has 900 men surrounding the Mole, intending to take it by storm—that privateers cruise against the vessels of each partisans adherents, who never give quarters—that Toussaint put 200 mulattoes to death who were surprised by one of his scouting parties—and that a war of extermination appears to be the order of the day in that devoted island.

Last night John Stiles, Esq. returned in a cartel vessel from Havana. On the passage hence to the Havana, the cartel was boarded by a boat from the Amphion frigate, and the dispatches for the Spanish Governor were broke open and examined; in defiance of every remonstrance. This extraordinary procedure excited much surprise at the Havana, where it was with difficulty credited. The dispatches from the Gov. of Cuba in answer, were put on board unsealed, as he said it was now proved that a seal neither afforded security, nor insured respect.
The people of Havana are said to be extremely apprehensive of a British invasion taking place in the course of the approaching Winter.

SPECULATION.
TO BE SOLD,
AT Public Vendue, on Monday the 23d of September next, at 11 o'clock, P. M. at the house of the Subscriber, living in the town of New-Castle, State of Delaware, a number of valuable
LOTS,
suitable for building on, being the South square of the flourishing town of New-Castle aforesaid, distant from Philadelphia thirty-three miles.
This valuable property is highly capable of improvement, being immediately on the river Delaware, having a number of wharf lots on it; and from the depth of the water (earth and materials for wharfing being easily procured) there is no doubt but wharves would bring a handsome interest.
This property consists of five acres more or less, in one body; lays high, and is divided into lots to suit every description of persons.—New-Castle is one of the most healthy and flourishing towns on the continent; and from the increase of trade it has raised property to four times the value it was seven years past.—The number of vessels bound out and in, which stop for supplies of flock, &c. &c. and the whole carriage of goods between Philadelphia and Baltimore, is now through this place. The packets and stages from the aforesaid cities, &c. &c. make it very lively: there is not, at this time, one house to be rented in the place; and the number of applications for houses make it an object for persons to improve. There are a number of elegant and useful buildings now going on, a Public Academy and several private Schools. The malignant Fever has never made any progress, and the Ague scarcely known; the number of children in this place is a convincing proof of the healthiness of it. The prospect of the river Delaware, up and down is delightful; as far as the eye can distinguish you may view the vessels in different attitudes. There is reason to suppose that public piers for the Navy will be built here, as vessels can sail from this place when the river is full at Philadelphia.
The conditions of sale will be easy and made known on the day of sale. Places of public worship, market and mills are very contiguous JOHN DARRAGE.
N. B.—A plat of the above will be exhibited any time previous, as well as on the day of sale. August 26. eom.

MILITARY LAND WARRANTS.
THE Subscriber having lately returned from viewing the land, surveyed and appropriated to satisfy the land warrants, issued by the Secretary at war, to the officers and soldiers of the late continental army; and having made arrangements with Mr. James Johnson, of Chester county, Pennsylvania, who he left on the land, and who with the assistance of an intelligent inhabitant of that county, will spend five months in exploring the different sections. He will take regular notes, descriptive of the soil, situation, and natural advantages attached to each section in the whole survey—which notes, will be placed in the hands of the subscriber previous to the period for locating, thereby enabling him to make the most advantageous locations the priority will admit.
He offers his service to the holders of land warrants of the above description, throughout the United States, to receive their warrants, class them, (as no less quantity than 4000 acres will be registered at the office of the treasury) have them registered agreeable to law, and attend to make the location at the time appointed in February next.
For transacting the business, one tenth part of the land specified in the warrants will be required, and no other charge, except the postage of letters. All warrants forwarded and letters addressed to the subscriber, at No. 3, Penn-street, Philadelphia, will receive immediate attention. JAMES E. SMITH. September 2. mwtf.

PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, Pursuant to the act of Congress passed on the 11th day of June, one thousand, seven hundred and ninety six, entitled "an act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military services, and for the society of United Brethren for propagating the gospel among the Heathen;" and the act supplementary to the said recited act passed on the second day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine—to wit:
THAT the tract of Land herein after described, namely, "beginning at the North West corner of the seven ranges of townships, and running thence fifty miles due south, along the western boundary of the said ranges;—thence due West to the Main Branch of the Scioto river; thence up the Main Branch of the said river to the place where the Indian boundary line crosses the same;—thence along the said boundary line to the Tuscarora branch of the Muskingum river at the crossing place above Fort Lawrence; thence down the said river, to the point where a line run due west from the place of beginning, will intersect the said river; thence along the line so run to the place of beginning;" has been divided into townships of five miles square, and fractional parts of townships; and that plats and surveys of the said townships and fractional parts of townships are deposited in the offices of the Register of the Treasury and Surveyor General, for the inspection of all persons concerned.
The holders of such warrants as have been or shall be granted for military services performed during the late war, are required to present the same to the Register of the Treasury, at some time prior to the twelfth day of February in the year, one thousand eight hundred, for the purpose of being registered; No registry will however be made of any less quantity than a quarter township, or four thousand acres.
The priority of location of the warrants which may be presented and registered in manner aforesaid, prior to the 12th day of February in the year one thousand eight hundred, will immediately after the said day, be determined by lot, in the mode described by the act first recited.
The holders of registered warrants, shall on Monday the 17th day of February, in the year 1800, in the order of which the priority of location shall be determined by lot as aforesaid, personally, or by their agents, designate in writing at the office of the Register of the Treasury, the particular quarter townships selected by them respectively, and such of the said holders as shall not designate their locations on the said day, shall be postponed in locating such warrants to all other holders of registered warrants.

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By the short and pleasant road of
Buffleton, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Springfield and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, which passes through 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. The 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 depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country, and, in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It prevents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstance, added to the beauty of the country, and a considerable proportion of shade, will always render travelling in the latter season peculiarly agreeable.
The Swift-Sure starts from PHILADELPHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth Street. It goes through Brackford to Buffleton, where it stops to Breakfast; from Buffleton it goes through Newtown to Penny-town to dinner; from Penny-town through Hopewell, Millstone, Boundbrook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it stops at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New-York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York, application may be made to Edward Bardin, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 43, Courtland, corner of Greenwich streets, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 42, Broad Street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars. Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each passenger is allowed to take on 14lbs. of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage, taken on by a passenger, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weight.
With respect to packages sent on without passengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a regulation, which, though unknown to other lines of stages, they think must meet with general approbation. They pledge 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 always afford a good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The stages are well equipped, furnished with fleet and steady horses, and committed to the care of intelligent 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 who employ is continually an object of their attention. They take care also to see that the passengers are well provided for and politely treated at the taverns, and that no sort of chicanery or influence is practised upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expense to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best line of stages in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, during which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Every passenger has found the road to surpass very far all that has been said of its excellence; and the Proprietors of the Swift-Sure are extremely happy to hear the behaviour, of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns spoke of, with the highest satisfaction.
