And if he, the said master or captain, shall suffer his ship or vessel to approach nearer than the said Health-Office to the city of Philadelphia, or shall land, cause or suffer to be landed, or brought on shore, at any place or port within this Commonwealth, or at any other port or place, with the intent of being conveyed into this Commonwealth, any person or persons, or any goods, wares or merchandise, &c., after receiving such bill of health or certificate, he shall neglect or refuse to deliver the same to the Health-Office, such master or captain shall forfeit and pay, for each and every such offence, the sum of five hundred DOLLARS. And the captain or master of every ship or vessel shall find a safe and commodious boat to bring the physician on board, and shall in like manner convey him back to the Health-Office, after he has concluded his official examination; And while he is making such examination, or in case any subsequent examination by the Health Officer or Consulting Physician, agreeably to the directions of this act, the master or captain shall expose or cause to be exposed to the search of the Resident Physician, or of the Health Officer and Consulting Physician (as the case may be) each and every part of the ship or vessel, and shall present to him, every such person or persons on board thereof, and shall also true and satisfactory answers make to all such questions as the Resident Physician, at the time of examination shall ask relative to the health of any person or place from which the ship or vessel failed, and has since touched at—the number of persons on board when the ship or vessel entered on her voyage—the number of persons that have since been landed or taken on board, and when and where respectively—what persons on board— if they have been during the voyage, or shall, at the time of examination, be infected with any pestilential or contagious disease—and what is the present state and condition of the persons on board with respect to their health or disease. And if any master or captain shall refuse to expose as aforesaid, or to the search of any of the officers aforesaid, or if he shall conceal any sick person, or in any other manner deceive the proper officers aforesaid in his answers, such captain or master, for every such offence, shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred DOLLARS. Sect. 8. And if any person or persons whatsoever (the Resident Physician, &c. excepted) shall go on board any vessel, before the master thereof has received a certificate of health in the manner directed, every person so offending, shall pay the sum of one hundred DOLLARS.

SIR,
The question when will the eighteenth century end? was first proposed here about a month ago...
What a pity it was not started to the good people of England two or three years ago...
But as we are very harmless politicians in Bengal, and as this question is agitated with a degree of warmth...
I take it for granted that every person will allow the moment immediately after the nativity to have been the first of the christian era...
Here then it evidently appears that first takes precedence of one - It was the first year when passing, one year only when past.
To every man open to conviction the above statement will be satisfactory and conclusive.
But he could have very little trouble in reckoning the years past, he had only to count a hundred to every century...
The whole force of their argument goes to prove that we cannot say the year ninety six till ninety six be past.
This may be considered as turning the subject into ridicule, yet I defy any man of use cardinal numbers to denote current time...
In what year did our Gracious Sovereign come to the throne? In what year did Lord Howe defeat the French fleet?
Some however admit that this may be the Ninety-seventh Year, forgetting that the moment an ordinal number expressed or understood is at all admitted...
Here then the necessity of using ordinal numbers to denote present or current portions of time is evident.
In this way we can date the transactions of every year without ambiguity or absurdity even to the very moment of time...
I may be told that it happened One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety-six Years, Eight Months, Seven Days, Eight hours and a half...
Having now clearly proved the necessity of denoting current years, &c. by ordinal numbers...
ONE HUNDREDTH YEAR.
P. S. The Cardinalians driven to the utmost verge of sophistical ratiocination, are now obliged to deny that time is ever present or passing.

NEW-YORK, September 30. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Nantes, to a respectable house in this city, dated June 15, 1797.
The certainty which the executive directory of France has had, that many English vessels failed under American colours, and that many American vessels failed with the greater part of their crews English, has provoked the decree of the executive directory of the 12th Ventose, 5th year, (2d March, '97) which prescribes that all American vessels shall be captured and condemned as good prizes, which have not a Role d'Equipage ; or even having one, if the captain, or any officer or supercargo, or one third of the crew should be English.
An English gentleman, lately driven from Philadelphia by the prevailing fever,—by chance, took up his residence at Middle-Town Point, New-Jersey—within one mile of which place, he is now employed in boring for COAL, and has already come to the species of stone which always covers the Newcastle pit coal—He has had 30 years experience in coal-mining, and is very sanguine as to his success.
Yesterday arrived the brig Calliope, Leonard, and the schooner Hiram, Murphy, from Jamaica.
Last evening two English frigates anchored off Staten Island.
A letter from Cape Nichola Mole, of August 28, says, "I am exceedingly sorry to communicate to you, that your Schooner Regulator is now under trial of the court of vice admiralty, which is now held at Mole St. Nicholas. I failed from L'Anseveaux the 27th of July, and on the 28th following was boarded by his Britannic majesty's ship Ratler, who treated me exceedingly well, examined all my papers and found them right. The captain wished me a good voyage, and told me to proceed, which I accordingly did, and on the 29th following was boarded by the government ship Kingdon, Lewis Farquharson, master, who ordered me to Port au Prince, and took me out of the Schooner on board his ship, and took all my papers in his charge. On the 4th of August we arrived at Port au Prince, where I made myself known to your friends, Mr. Forbes and Mr. Cognac. I have entered a regular protest and left a copy with Mr. Forbes, to be sent in your Schooner Fox, which I expect will sail with the first convoy from thence. When I was taken, captain Farquharson told me, that he had received strong information from captain Clement Miner, master of the sloop Nancy, of New-York, that my cargo was French property, and for that very reason he took me and intended to libel me."
A communication, respecting the reception of the chevalier d'Yrujo at Boston and Portsmouth, shall appear on Monday.
BOSTON, September 27. REVIEW OF MILITIA.
Yesterday his excellency the commander in chief, reviewed at Concord the whole of the third division of militia of this commonwealth, commanded by major general Hull.
Precisely at ten o'clock the several corps took the stations assigned them, and the review commenced at twelve.
The situation of the ground made it necessary to form two lines, like semi-hollow squares.
The first, commanded by brigadier-general Walker, consisted of one squadron of cavalry, under major Brown, composed of captains Jones's, Fowle's, Coolidge's and Wyman's corps; two companies of light infantry, commanded by captains Bigelow and Butterick; one battalion of artillery under capt. Hastings, composed of his and capt. Bemus's companies; and four regiments of infantry, commanded by colonels Coolidge, Flint, Colburne and Perry.
The second line, commanded by brigadier-general Woods, contained three troops of cavalry, commanded by captains Fletcher, Blood and Flood; one battalion of artillery, commanded by captains Farnsworth, Gardner and French; and three regiments of infantry, commanded by colonels Swain, Osgood and Varnum.
The whole, making seven corps of cavalry, two companies of light infantry, five companies of artillery, and seven regiments of infantry, were in complete and elegant cloth uniforms, were fully officered, and completely armed and equipped. Every corps had a full proportion of music, the cavalry were elegantly mounted, and the staff could not be surpassed by the best Europe can produce.
The troops had no sooner formed than a severe equinoctial storm commenced; and before his excellency appeared on the parade the whole of them were drenched to the skin. The troops nevertheless went through the usual manoeuvres and evolutions with veteran exactness.
Before twelve the commander in chief, escorted by capt. Fowle's troop of cavalry, arrived at Concord, where capt. Jones took
up the escort, and his excellency, accompanied by major-general Elliot, the adjutant and quarter-master generals, and several other staff-officers, proceeded to the review, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. The storm prevented many military exhibitions; prudence, if not necessity, requiring the immediate dismissal of the troops after the review.
Until the rain commenced, the scene was splendid and beautiful; and the elemental inconvenience which general Hull and his whole division experienced, gave Spain to the breast of sensibility. We could enumerate many excellencies of conduct, which were highly honourable to our countrymen, even under the inauspicious state of the weather, did the time admit. But this sketch is put to the press at a late hour.
The Remarkable Fish, mentioned in the Mercury of yesterday, is certainly a novelty on this coast. It appears, says a correspondent, to be the same fish described by Brooks, in his Natural History, under the name of the Sea Fox. It is so called, he says, on account of the length of its tail, and from the strong smell of the flesh. Buffon terms it the long tailed Shark, and observes, that it was anciently called Sea Horse, from its supposed cunning. It is usually met with in the Mediterranean Sea. Brooks observes, that it is sometimes so large, as to weigh above 100 pounds, and Pennant mentions one as remarkable, which measured 13 feet in length. A particular description of the one now exhibited would be desirable; a cursory examination, has induced a belief, that it would be found to be larger than those described by European naturalists. Richer of Effex—On Monday, arrived at Danvers, from the Grand Bank Schooner Sally, 86 tons burthen, belonging to capt. Samuel Page, Gideon Rea, master, with upwards of one thousand quintals of fish, and 24 bbls. of oil. In the year 1792, the same Schooner landed 1176 quintals at one fare, and in 1793, she landed 1046 quintals at one fare from the Bay of St. Lawrence. These are the three largest fares we have ever heard of being landed.
NEWBURYPORT, Sept. 26.
Saturday afternoon a fishing shallop with 3 hands belonging to Cape Ann attempted to go over the bar just before low water—but unfortunately drifted on the breakers where she filled, and two of them were drowned; the other continued in water nearly two hours, and was taken up by a boat which went from town for that purpose, on seeing their distress.

We were yesterday obligingly favored with a lengthy proclamation, issued by Raimond, commandant at the Cape for the French Windward islands; but as we are informed that it contains but little else than a declaration of the  patrician principles by which he has been and shall continue to be animated, together with an exhortation to all colors to demean themselves orderly and peaceable under his administration, we forbear filling our paper with its translation.  BOARD OF HEALTH.  BURIALS.  In the west part of Baltimore, heretofore called the town—for the last twenty-four hours, ending this morning at sunrise.

Total 18.  * Fair of these from the city.  DIED, this morning, Mr. SAMUEL FENNO, of this city. I met, at the house of John Clifford, four miles from the city, of a putrid fever, Miss Fanny Clifford, daughter of Thomas Clifford, deceased.  The total number of burials in the city and suburbs during the month of August, 1793, was 125. For the same month in the present year, the number has been 228, of which 141 were children—Difference 37.  The total number during the month of September, 1793, was 1442. For the present month 581, of which 112 were children—Di since 861.  September 30, 1797.  In order to lessen your prejudices against bleeding, mercurial purges and salivation, I do hereby certify, that I am just recovered from a relapse of the yellow fever, occasioned by relying too much on my own strength, and undertaking a long journey, before I was able to perform it, without consulting my physician and friends, which I mention as a caution to others. My first attack was very severe, for the cure of which I lost 126 ounces of blood in 12 bleedings, and the last time I lost 24 ounces in 3 bleedings, making in all 150 ounces, besides which I had several blisters, &c. applied both times, and took freely of mercury, internally and externally, by order of my physician, Samuel Cooper, to whose skill and care, under God, I owe great obligations for the preservation of my life.  DAVID EVANS, JUN.  Mr. JOHN FENNO. [Mr. Evans being a very ingenious and useful citizen, his friends and the public, will hear with great satisfaction, of his recovery.]  As there appears to be a misconstruction of the sentiments advanced in the Gazette of the United States, it may be proper to state, that neither mercurial purges, nor salivation nor bleeding (in moderation) have ever been opposed in this paper.  A correspondent observes, on the subject of the approaching Election, that every citizen ought to realize the importance of his vote, at the selection of persons to manage the public concerns—and every man who wilfully neglects giving in his vote, ought to be considered as committing a crime against liberty. To what purpose is it that we have a mild, free and equitable government, if we suffer a cabal to get possession of the seat of election, and overrun the house with Jacobins, Democrats, Frenchmen and pretended Republicans. Advent, citizens of Philadelphia, to that awful warning which now hangs over your heads, and guard against a future necessity for similar calamities, by shutting the door against French principles and every thing awful. He who can, at the present awful moment, set on foot a cabal, for the extension of French influence, is upon a level with those malecreants who, at Port Royal, while the earth was shaking under their feet, went about robbing and collecting plunder.  To the PUBLIC.  THE sum appropriated by the Legislature for the relief and unfortunate citizens of Philadelphia, during the prevailing sickness, being nearly, if not wholly expended, and as no further aid can, at present, be derived from the same source, the suffering poor are under the necessity of relying on the individual benevolence of their more wealthy fellow-citizens, to whose sympathy and humanity they look up with confidence, from the generosity heretofore manifested on similar occasions:—And as the citizens of our sister states may be disposed to unite their good offices in aiding the distressed, it may be proper to mention the commissioners appointed by the governor (of whom Robert Wharton, Esq. is chairman) to distribute the money granted by the state, as the most proper persons to receive donations; the gentlemen composing that board having, by their fidelity, and public spirit, impressed the citizens with the utmost confidence in their humanity, economy, and disinterestedness.

WHEREAS I have received information that a certain EZEKIEL POLK, JOHN JOHNSTON, and others, of Mecklenburg county in this state, not regarding their duty as citizens, nor the peace, order and good government of this and the United States; of their own mischievous minds and imagination, and in contempt of the laws, authorities of the said states did lately, in the county of Mecklenburg aforesaid, and parts adjacent, sit on foot and prepare for carrying on, a military expedition for the invasion of, and taking into their possession the territory of the Indians, on the Tennessee, with suborn the United States are at peace. And for the above nefarious purposes, by themselves and others, did conspire, incite and stir up many persons in the said county of Mecklenburg and elsewhere, to enlist and equip themselves as soldiers; and did actually cause such enlistments and equipment to be made. Wherefore to prevent such daring and illegal proceedings in future, and to bring the said Ezekiel Polk, John Johnston and others, principal offenders, to justice, I do, by and with advice of the Council of State, issue this Proclamation, strictly charging and requiring all officers of justice, and others, to apprehend, secure and bring to justice, the said Ezekiel Polk, John Johnston, and other principal delinquents, if to be found in this state. And I hereby prohibit under the severest penalties of the law, all such illegal preparations and proceedings in future; and I caution all the good citizens of the state against the illusive representation and promises which may be held forth to them, to engage them in such unwarrantable enterprises, that will finally involve them in great difficulty and ruin.

THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time sub- sisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved, but not as Slough insinuates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the 29th day from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last, a recital of which is not now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching him- self to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippen- burg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Wither, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, at- tention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the pub- lic can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrifburg, Carlisle and Shippenburg. The fare as hitherto established. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrifburg, arrive at Sun- bury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrifburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Mon- days.
WILLIAM GEER. Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797. N. B. This Line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferree, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, pro- ceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder, in Harrifburg every Wednes- day morning, on the same evening arrives at Pa- rick Cotheran's in Shippenburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday; performing the same routine daily as in its start from Philadel- phia. mw&fm

From the Oscego Herald.  CAUTION. WHEREAS a combination of men in this county have undertaken to enrich them- selves, by fabricating titles to sundry valuable tracts of land, the property of gentlemen living in New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which tracts of land large sums of money have been paid to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers. It is therefore just that public information should be given, to the end, that the injured may seek red- ress while the men have property, and are to be found. Those who have been discovered are Tra- man Harrison, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re- side in the county of Saratoga; Thomas Kelly and several others who go under fictitious names. It is supposed that the lands offered for sale on those fab- ricated titles, are at least worth fifty thousand dollars. Such as we have had knowledge of are as follows: Lots No. 11 and 12, Otsego patent, thousand acres each, the actual property of William Delwynn, now of London; lots No. 58 and 64, same patent, thousand acres each, the property of Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and James Averill and others, of this State. There is some grounds to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their management. The printers will do well to give this a place in their papers, as well to caution the public against purchasing those lands, as also to de- prive those men in future from imposing on individu- als, which their education and address have en- abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been a shopkeeper of some note in this country. The following affidavits will set in a clear point of view the wickedness of those men, which when the public have perused, will induce them to ex- cuse the interference of Wm. COOPER. Oscego, July 28th, 1797. I Thomas Kelly, of the County of Oscego, hav- ing been led into an error, by John Witcomb and Truman Harrison, of the same County, to sign a deed to them, for lot No. 68, Oscego patent, which was the property of William T. Franklin now Mr. Chaumont's and others; and further the said Joseph and Truman did persuade me to do this against my inclination, which was made out on the 26th day of November, 1793, or set back two years to as to bring it to that time; and further the name of Pardon Starks to that deed was a fictitious name, there being no such person there. To this I make voluntary oath. 19th July, 1797. On the 19th July, 1797, came personally before me, Thomas Kelly, the subscriber to the above af- fidavit, and made solemn oath that it contains nothing but the truth.

ELIHU PHINNEY, Justice of the Peace. On the 18th July, 1797, came before me Jacob Kibbey, a person by me well-known and worthy of good credit, who on his solemn oath did say, that two of the parties abovenamed did make appli- cation to him this deponent, some time in the winter of 1796, to make them a deed for two thou- sand acres of land in the Otsego patent, and pro- mised this deponent a share of the profits, on the sale of said lands, for his so doing; and that they made application several times for the same purpose, which services this deponent as often refused, de- claring to them that he had no right to lands, and could do no such thing; which during attempt on this deponent's integrity he had related among his friends several times, previous to making this affi- davit.

THE SUBSCRIBER having been appointed by the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plen- potentiary of his Britannic Majesty, General Agent for settling British creditors, and such particular a- gents as they may specially authorize, in prosecuting their claims before the commissioners for carrying on the final negotiation between his Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, hereby gives notice that he has opened his office at his house the fourth corner of Chestnut and fifth streets, Philadelphia, where he is ready to receive all claims or instructions for claims with the vouchers and documents thereof, for the purpose of bringing forward the same agree- ing to the rules and orders which the board may think proper to prescribe. And as it will be for the interest of all concerned, that the several claims be so stated, and supported, as to prevent the delay which would arise from the necessity of obtaining further information, or ad- ditional materials, from persons residing at a distance, the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (for the direction chiefly of those, who, not having employ- ed particular agents, may leave the prosecution of their claims to his charge and management) that all such claims ought in particular to set forth— 1st. The proper description and situation of the creditor or claimant, and original debtor, respect- ively. 2d. The date and nature of the original contract or debt. 3d. When, in what manner, and to what extent, the creditor or claimant was prevented or impeded, by the provision, operation or defect of law, the decisions and practice of courts, or restraint of execution, from recovering payment of the debt in question. 4th. The loss and damage incurred or sustained, in consequence of such impediments, whether the same may have arisen from the insolvency, charge of situation, or death of the debtor, the loss of legal remedy from lapse of time, or otherwise impairing the value and security of the debt, which would not have been operated if such impediments had not existed. 5th. The particular grounds and reasons on which the claimant maintains, in the terms of the treaty, that "by the ordinary course of judicial pro- ceedings, the creditor cannot now obtain and actual- ly have and receive full and adequate compensation" for the losses and damages sustained. The general agent thinks it his duty further to sug- gest that the several claims ought to be accompanied and supported by the affidavits of the claimants duly sworn and regularly attested, both as to the existence of the debts claimed, and such other circumstances as may be within their own knowledge respectively. And wherever the claimants in stating the nature of their evidence (which must in every instance be the best of which the case is capable) have occasion to refer to the testimony of witnesses, it will be proper to apprise the general agent of the names and places of residence of such witnesses and the facts to be es- tablished by their testimony.

Higgins' Specific FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURE OF THE YELLOW FEVER. EVER since this disease made such ravages in this city and New-York, the author has turned his attention to its causes and cure. The result of his enquiries has convinced him that the reason why so few persons recover from its attacks, are from its not being well understood, and the consequent wrong method taken to cure it. He is persuaded that the excessive bleedings and mercurial treatment of the Faculty is highly injurious, and that the only rational mode of treatment is by the use of proper acids. Convinced of this he offers his Specific as a certain remedy, if used according to the directions. To be had in bottles, at one dollar each, of the inventor Gen.
