PARIS, November 9.
[OFFICIAL NOTE]
The Minister of police apprises his fellow citizens, that the councils were assembled at St. Cloud, in order to deliberate upon the interests of the Republic and of liberty, when Gen. Buonaparte, who had gone to the Council of Five Hundred to denounce some counter-revolutionary manoeuvres, narrowly escaped being assassinated.
The genius of the republic has preserved that General—he returned to Paris with his escort. The legislative body has taken every measure to secure the triumph and the glory of the republic.
This intelligence was in the principal coffee houses, play houses, and places of public resort in Paris, and was every where received with cries of bravo and with applause.
The transferring of the councils to St. Cloud, was conducted with the utmost calmness. Buonaparte made his appearance there at noon, accompanied by the whole of his staff; about an hour after Sieyes and Roger Ducos arrived.
The Council of Five Hundred placed themselves in the green house, that of the elders in the gallery of Mignard. Vast rooms, and by the half too large. An immense concourse of people surrounded the gates with eager curiosity.
Among the members of the council of elders to whom summons of attendance were not addressed, the Journal des Hommes Montenayou, Le Sage Sennault, Moureau De L'Yenne, Philipp (Du Leman), &c. &c.
It is said that the measures adopted by the Council of Elders were suggested by the desire of disconcerting the projects that had been planned in an assembly at the hotel de Salm, where some very prominent characters were observed. These projects had for objects to convert the two councils into a national convention, from which were to be discarded certain persons, and to invest the government in the hands of a committee of public safety. It is added that a well known public Functionary, promoted this project, and had charged himself with bringing over Buonaparte; but that the general, far from seconding his designs, had given information of them to the council of Elders.
The order for shutting the barbers, which was issued yesterday, was immediately recalled.
The mails did not go off yesterday by the post till half past seven in the evening.
The Telegraphs, in all directions, were constantly at work.
A great number of Couriers extraordinary were dispatched during the night.
Yesterday morning when it was announced that Buonaparte, called upon by the Elders, had assembled around him all his staff, the director Moulins was for ordering a battalion to go & surround the general's house. At the same moment the directorial guard quitted the Luxembourg in order to join Sieyes and Roger Ducos, at the Thuilleries.
Gohier, Moulins and Barras were assembled at the directorial Palace, when Roger Ducos came in to enquire whether certain reports that had reached him were true. His colleagues having informed him that they had no information of them, "I will go in quest of it," said he; and immediately went to the inspectors of the council of Elders.
During this time, Sieyes was riding about alone in the Luxembourg garden, where his aid-de-camp Dorsonval came and joined him. He afterwards went to the inspectors of the council of Elders.
About 10 o'clock Gohier, Barras, and Moulins called for the commandant of the 17th division that he might give an account of his conduct to the directory. His answer was, that he no longer had the command of the 17th division; that it was under the orders of general Buonaparte, from whom he had just been receiving instructions pursuant to the decree.
At eleven o'clock Barras sent in his resignation, and Buonaparte gave orders for a detachment of dragoons to escort him to Gros Bois, where he had expressed a wish to retire.
Sieyes and Roger Ducos voluntarily gave in their resignation.
The municipalities of the twelve divisions of Paris are suspended, and the central commissioners appointed to receive orders in the mean time.
On quitting the council of Elders, Buonaparte met Bottot, Barras's secretary, who seemed to have come to intercede for the ex-director. The general talked to him in such a manner as to be heard by those around him.
"What have you done," said the general, "with that France which I left you in so prosperous a state? I left you at peace—I have found you engaged in war. I left you surrounded with victory—I found you overwhelmed with disaster. I left you millions in Italy, and I every where found rapacious laws and heart-breaking misery. What have you done with an hundred thousand Frenchmen with whom I was acquainted? They are dead; and most of all the companions of my glory have fallen."
"It is time to confer upon the defenders of the country that confidence to which they have so many claims. Believe what a set of factious people say, we should all of us soon be the enemies of the republic; we, who have consolidated it by our toil and courage. We desire to see no better patriots than the brave men who have bled in the service of the republic."
Two millions were yesterday taken to the public treasury before three o'clock, and two more are promised to day.
The following are the articles of the constitution which have served for the basis of the measure adopted by the elders.
Article 162. The council of Elders may change the residence of the legislative body. In such case it is to declare the place and time when and where the two councils are to meet. The decree of the Elders on this subject is irrevocable.
103. On the day of the decree, neither the one nor the other of the two councils shall be at liberty to deliberate in the committee where they have resided until then. The members, who shall continue their functions there, shall be guilty of an attack on the safety of the republic.
104. The members of the executive directory who shall delay or refuse to seal, and promulgate the decree transferring the legislative body, shall be guilty of the same offence.
105. If in twenty days after the time fixed by the council of Elders, the majority of each of the two councils shall not have made known to the republic their arrival at the new place appointed, or their meeting in any other place whatever, the administrators of the departments, or in their default, the civil tribunals of the departments shall convene primary assemblies, to nominate electors, who shall proceed immediately to the formation of a new legislative body, for the election of 250 deputies for the council of Elders, and 500 for the council of Five Hundred.
The number of the members of the council of Elders, who received, during the night, letters of convocation, is estimated at 150.
The directors Sieyes and Ducos are the only two who signed the order for announcing by the Telegraph the decree of the council of Elders. Their colleagues did not appear to take an active part in what passed. Poulter announces their resignation as certain, and asserts that Marefco, Berthier, and Talleyrand, are designed by the majority of the councils to replace them.
The Quay of Voltaire, and the streets leading to the Thuilleries are filled with troops. The Luxembourg is invested. The greatest tranquillity reigns throughout Paris.
November 27. Pacy sur Eure, a large town, 20 leagues from Paris, is taken by the Chouans. The Chouans entered Redon, Nov. 9, to the amount of 12 or 1500; after many excesses, they evacuated it.
The emperor of Russia has engaged by treaty, to put at the disposal of the king of Naples, 9 battalions of infantry, with the necessary artillery, and 200 Cossacks, to be marched as soon as fast as the roads will admit.
December 1.
THE NEW CONSTITUTION. Several plans of a constitution are circulated. The following form the principal basis of that which we are assured will be immediately submitted to discussion:
A Representative Government is preferred.
The number of active citizens is to be very much reduced. To entitle them to exercise their functions, they must immediately pay a contribution to the amount of twelve days pay.
The whole French Republic will be divided into twenty-five grand divisions, to be called prefectures; each of which will be subdivided into a certain number of cantons or districts. All the citizens in employment, shall meet in the chief place of their canton, and there reduce themselves to 100. Each of these centimes is to reduce itself to 10.
The total amount of these tenths, by a late estimate, will be 5000 citizens, who shall alone be eligible to the places to which the people have hitherto appointed.
But who will make these elections? There will be a constitutional jury, composed of 80 places, of which 20 will remain vacant, for the purpose herein after mentioned. It is this jury that will make all popular elections, and have power to depose for misconduct. It will have another function. Should one of the citizens elected by it, or any other person filling an employment of influence, become dangerous to liberty, whether from his great talents or his great successes, the jury is to pronounce against him a species of ostracism, and according to an expression which is going to be consecrated to use, absorb him in deposing him, and calling him to one of the 20 places which we said were to remain vacant in the jury itself; and each of the citizens thus absorbed shall retire by seniority as one of the 60 places becomes vacant. Besides this, the constitutional jury has no influence in the government thus composed.
At its head shall be placed one citizen, to be called Grand Elector. Immediately under him will be two Consuls, one for the interior, the other for the exterior. They are to be Governors in fact, but deposable at the will of the Grand Elector. Under the Grand Elector and the two Consuls will be a Council of State, composed of six members and seven ministers. Such is the Government.
The following is the composition and organization of the legislative body: There will be two chambers, one of 220 members, to be called the Senate; the other of 80, to be called the Tribune.
The Tribune shall alone possess initiative of the laws. It will discuss them in presence of the Senate, who shall judge when the discussion ought to be closed, and decide in a secret scrutiny on their adoption or rejection. The members of these two Chambers shall continue five years in their functions, and be renewed a third at a time. The Constitutional Jury is alone to appoint to places, but will be confined in its choice to the five thousand people declared eligible by the people.
The twenty-five Prefectures, into which we have already said France is to be divided, shall be presided over, each by a single Prefect, who shall have under him Vice-Prefects in each principal part of the Canton.
In the judicial arrangement, each principal place of Prefecture will be the seat of a Supreme Tribunal, from which there will be no appeal, and there will be also an inferior Tribunal in each canton.
The new constitution will appear in complete organization, and contain the names of the public functionaries whom it puts in activity.
AUGSBURGH, November 9.
Suwarrows appears to be inexorable in the resolution, he has announced of remaining inactive till he has received fresh orders from his Emperor. It is to explain his motive. I have just parted from a military gentleman, who has had a long conversation with this General, in which the latter disclosed to him the entire cause of his anger. This conversation has been detailed to me. The following is the precise tenor of it, though I cannot answer for the very words:
"I have quitted Italy (said Suwarrows) sooner than I expected; but I have acted in conformity to a plan which I had adopted, from confidence more than conviction. I had laid down before-hand, the plan of my march to Switzerland. I passed St. Gothard and overcame every obstacle in my way. I arrived at the day appointed at the place where I was to have been joined; yet every one failed me. Instead of finding an army in good order, and in a good position, I found no army at all. The position of Zurich, which ought to have been defended by 60,000 Austrians, was abandoned to 20,000 Russians. This army was in want of provisions. Kotze suffered himself to be surprised. Kotze allowed himself to be beaten. The French remained masters of Switzerland; and I found myself alone with my body of troops, without artillery, without provisions, without ammunition, and obliged to retire among the Grisons to rejoin the routed troops; no part of the promises I received were fulfilled."
"An old soldier, like myself, may be tricked once, but he must be a fool, indeed, if he suffers himself to be made a dupe the second time. I can now enter into no plan of operations likely to produce advantage. I have sent a courier to Peterburgh. I shall let my army rest; nor shall I take a single step without the orders of my Sovereign."
In the course of the conversation, he expressed other motives of discontent at the conduct of the Austrians. Their Generals, instead of following the same political conduct and supporting the proclamations by which Suwarrows announced to all Italy the intention of the Coalesced Powers to restore to every Prince what had been taken from him, and of re-establishing in every country, the authority and the forms of its ancient Government, created the Imperial Eagle on the gates of every city of the King of Sardinia recovered from the French.
When Suwarrows arrived at Lindau, he was in a state of fury, the emotions of which he could not disguise, but he was seldom seen: he remained shut up in his chamber, without suffering any one to approach him: he would not even allow an officer to be presented to him who had been sent with a message from the archduke Charles. He continued in this state some days. The violent bursts of passion to which he gave way when any one approached, induced a belief that he was really out of his mind. He abruptly quitted Lindau, without communicating his design to the Archduke. This retreat, it is said, exposed the safety of the Austrian posts who guarded that side. He afterwards wrote to the Archduke, that he meant to establish his army behind the Lech, where he should wait the final orders of his court. The Archduke having represented to him that this position would embarrass the operations of the rear of the Austrian army, and particularly the head quarters of that army, which were intended to be removed to Augsburg—H-d they rather, replied Suwarrows, that I should retire to Bohemia?
CAIRO, Sept. 3.
Gen. Legrange, with an army of 60,000 men, has set out to meet and engage the army of the Grand Signior. Legrange has but 6700 French in his army—the rest are Arabs, Copts and young Mamelukes. Here all is tranquil; and the Nationale Institute proceeds in its investigation.
RUSSIA, October 24.
The order excluding Danish vessels from our ports is revoked.
BERLIN, Nov. 3.
Barthelemy is at Hamburg. The king has invited him to Berlin.
SWITZERLAND, Nov. 4.
Our government is to be now modelled. Several members of the directory and of the councils will be dismissed.
VIENNA, Nov. 6.
The reports of peace have advanced our funds 5 per cent.
November 23.
The Spanish Minister and our Minister of state hold frequent conferences. They are said to relate to peace. The late revolution at Paris increases our hopes. [The very latest information not only from Vienna, but other parts of Europe, authorises a sanguine expectation of peace.]
HAGUE, Nov. 14.
Expresses have brought the particulars of the late events in Paris. We rejoice in them!
DARMSTADT, November 19.
On the 16th, the French General Lecourbe advanced from Mayheim, (after communicating to his troops the late events at Paris) and attacked the Austrians whom he compelled to retire, with considerable loss, re-invested Phillipburg, and established his head quarters at Bruchsal.
BRUSSELS, November 24.
Buonaparte has declared to our deputies, that France will never abandon Belgium. It is also said, that if a Congress is formed for the conclusion of a peace, that it will sit in this city.
DEFECTION OF THE RUSSIANS.
Suwarrows, in a letter to his Sovereign, complains of the Austrian gen. Melas as deceiving him, with respect to a supply of Mules, to draw his artillery and baggage, whereby he was prevented from arriving in Switzerland, in season to prevent the recent disasters. He also says he was promised the Archduke should not leave Switzerland till the French were driven out of that country. Serious differences, have, therefore, occurred between the Austrian and Russian courts—and the latter has ordered the return of its troops; and they have actually begun their retrograde march. The Austrians persuaded Suwarrows to remain, after the first receipt of orders to return, in hopes of a favourable change in the mind of the Emperor of Russia; but by his moving homeward since it appears those orders were repeated and perhaps were peremptory.
Suwarrows appointed Generalissimo of all the Russian troops. The highest military rank in the gift of the Emperor. Kotze and several other generals are dismissed the service.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3.
A vessel is said to have arrived at New-York on Saturday last, in 40 days from England, with letters to December 18.
It is said, that an high officer is in possession of advices to the following purport: viz. That Buonaparte has openly proclaimed his intention to restore the ancient Monarchy of France—and declared himself Regent of the Kingdom for Thirteen years.
NEW-YORK, February 1.
The brig Eliza, capt. Lamont, arrived here yesterday from Martinique and St. Kitts—left the latter place on the 3d ult. in company with several American vessels, under convoy of an English letter of marque.
A Mr. de Diemar, passenger in the Eliza, informs, that on the 1st instant, the United States sloop of war Ganges, brought into St. Kitts, a French privateer brig, mounting 16 guns and manned with 120 men. The privateer was from Guadalupe, had captured several American vessels, is coppered, and fluted fore and aft—the privateer's name is not recollected.
One of the officers of the Ganges, informed Mr. Diemar, that out of 36 American vessels, which had been captured the preceding month, 28 had been re-captured by the different American cruisers on that station.
This gentleman also informs, that the United States frigate Insurgent, came into St. Kitts on the 2d ult. but was to sail again the day following.
The Eliza came into the Hook in company with a ship from Liverpool, in 40 days, and a brig from St. Thomas's. Names unknown—They will probably get up this morning.
Boston, January 22.
Arrived ship Thorn, Edes, 24 days from the Havannah.
Also, Schooner Eliza, Baker, 19 days from Charleston. Capt. B. sailed from the Vineyard on Monday last with Capt. Chace from St. Thomas; and captain Rhodes from Savannah for Boston, in co. with about 12 sail for the Northern ports.
Capt. Mack of this place, arrived here last evening from Gloucester, to which place he came passenger in the Schooner Avery, Bradford, last from St. Thomas, which place he left in company with about 40 sail of Americans under convoy of the Baltimore. Captain M. informs, that he was taken on the 9th December, and carried into Guadalupe, where he was imprisoned some time, and witnessed the ill treatment which the Americans received in that place; while he was detained there, a great number of American vessels were brought in; one privateer, called the resolute, had sent in 12 sail of American prizes. Capt. M. was indebted for his deliverance to the exchange of prisoners by the Pickering, which amounted to 100 Americans, left there 50 more. Previous to his leaving Guadalupe, two ships of 50 and 20 guns arrived there from France, with a new governor, and other officers on board.
Arrived at the Vineyard, last Saturday, ship Diana, captain Thomas, 22 days from the Havannah. Passenger, captain Benjamin Hutchinson, late master of the Schooner Venus, which sailed from this port on the 12th September for Trinidad, and on the 8th October was captured by the French privateer La Scrutin, 4 guns, 50 men, from Guadalupe, and arrived there the 10th, where vessel and cargo was condemned. Captain H. demanded a copy of condemnation from the owner of the privateer, who drew up his shoulders like a frog when jumping from a rock into the water for shelter, and made this reply, "no possible fire." October 21, he sailed for St. Kitts, in a cartel, with 70 more Americans, and arrived the 26th, sailed for Boston, in the Schooner Patrick, captain Malcomb, who on the 4th November was captured by the Little Victory, of 2 guns and 50 men, from Porto Rico, and on the 17th was re-captured by an English sloop of war, and detained on board of her until the 24th—at the E. end of Hispaniola, fell in with the United States frigate John Adams; on the 15th got on board the Schooner Harriot, from Philadelphia for the Cape; and on the 14th got on board the ship Diana, John Thomas, master, bound to Boston. On the 26th December, failed for Boston, in said ship, in company with brig Nancy, Cook, for Newport. Captain H. feels himself under great obligations to capt. Thomas, and Mr. Palfrey, for their kind treatment, while on board the Diana. When he was at Guadalupe, provision was very low, beef 12, pork 16, flour 6 dollars. Left at the Cape, U. S. frigate General Greene, refitting 3 captains, Powers, from Boston; Hooper, from Marblehead; Brown from Salem, and several others, bound to Port-au-Prince.

FASHION.
The far-trimmed dresses of the day, assimilate the fashions of the present winter, more nearly to reason, than any we have known for a long time. The prevailing dress really seems designed (in the facetious language of the excellent Tyler) for the vulgar purpose of keeping the wearer comfortable.
* A native American, though not an American native, nor altogether a True American; yet a gentleman who writes verses; and who having a certain facility or knack (like a naughty variety) of infusing (self, genius and wit into his compositions, lies buried amongst iron-works and implacable boots, in the polluted state of Vermont.
These sweet and beautiful lines are to be met with in the Pursuits of Literature, undoubtedly from the pen of Mr. Matthias:— "aut Eralini font aut Diaboli." Eternal verdure bloom in Shakespeare's grave Where, led by light from Heav'n, he oft would rove In solitude and sacred silence blest; And in the musings of his mighty breast, All as he scan'd the volume of the past, O'er Greece and Rome one wilful glance would cast; Mourn not, pleas'd Nature cried, their founds unknown, My universal language is your own.

To the Holders of MILITARY LAND WARRANTS
FOR THE PURPOSE OF LOCATING.
JAMES E. SMITH as early as the ad of Sept. shortly after his return from viewing the Military Land, offered his services to the holders of Military Land Warrants for the purpose of classing, registering and locating them, in consequence of an arrangement made with Mr. James Johnson in July preceding, on the land, for the purpose of exploring the sections in the whole survey. This business having been carried into complete effect by Mr. Johnson, with the assistance of an intelligent inhabitant of that country, they have taken notes descriptive of the situation, soil and natural advantages attached to each section in the whole survey. Mr. Johnson being now here with those notes, together with the said J. E. Smith having a complete copy of the Surveyor General's return, made to the Treasury Department of the Township survey.
Being thus informed the subscribers, jointly, offer their services to the holders of warrants of the above description, to receive, register and locate, for which one tenth part of the land located will be required as a compensation for locating where the registry is already made, as may be hereafter agreed on by applying to either of the subscribers. Such of the honorable the members of Congress as may now hold, or may receive warrants from their friends before the 11th of February next, by addressing a line to either of the subscribers, through the medium of the Post Office, will be waited on agreeable to their appointment.

UPWARDS OF Eighteen Thousand Persons of all ages, within nine months past, have found relief from HAMILTON'S Worm destroying Lozenges , in various complaints arising from worms and from foulness or obstructions in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title to commonly complained of, as operating with a degree of violence, sufficient, not only to kill worms, but sometimes to endanger the patient's life; on the contrary, a peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is loath or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
RECENT CURES Selected from several hundreds, the authenticity of which, any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application—not being performed in Europe, nobody knows where—but at home.
AFFIDAVIT. MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 47, Wilkes Street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms—they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent flutings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hope of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost insensible, and I despaired of her existence. In this distressing situation, I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate—I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second and third smaller ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of flimsy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health which they still enjoy, though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable.
Sworn to me this 26th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
LETTER From Mr. John F. Abelson, Soap and Candle Manufacturer, No. 28, Bridge Street, Baltimore.
TO THE PROPRIETOR OF Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. Sir, I am much obliged to you for the information you have given me of the happy effects from your Lozenges, having been much afflicted for four or five years, with various complaints caused by worms, particularly a constant pain in my stomach and bowels, frequent and severe head aches, with a general lassitude and weariness, during which time I had the best medical advice that could be obtained from the most skillful physicians I could hear of, both American and European, with no alleviation of my disorder.
I should, too probably, have continued without relief, but for your Worm Destroying Lozenges, which brought from me an astonishing quantity of small white worms, about the size of a coarse thread, and in a short time, I found myself perfectly free from all my former complaints, and have enjoyed a good state of health for five months past.
I have constantly recommended your medicine, and as far as as long as I live, having, from my own experience reason to believe it to be an invaluable and unparallel'd remedy. Should any person with you for further information, I will with pleasure satisfy their enquiries on this subject. JOHN J. ABERCROMBY.
Sir, July 10, 1799. I had been a long time afflicted with a violent and gnawing pain in my stomach, a dull, heavy, continual head ache, with a frequent swimming in my head, accompanied with dimness of sight and sometimes partial blindness, and was rendered incapable of attending my business, thro' loss of strength; sometimes could scarcely eat a morsel for two or three days; when my appetite would suddenly become astonishingly voracious. I firmly believed myself to be in a consumption, which must soon put a period to my life, when happily hearing of several cures performed by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges in complaints which could not be accounted for, I took two doses, which expelled an incredible number of small sharp pointed worms: in short, I now enjoy as perfect health and strength, as ever I did in my life, and I believe my cure to be entirely effected by means of your medicine.
My brother witnessing his surprising efficacy was induced to take a dose though in tolerable health, which occasioned him likewise to void a great quantity of worms of the same kind, and thereby probably prevented his experiencing those dreadful disorders with which I was afflicted.
A sincere desire that others in similar circumstances may receive the same benefit, is the reason of my sending you this account. Yours, very respectfully, AQUILA GOLDING. Hartford Road, 2 miles from Baltimore.
OBSERVE. Those who wish to avail themselves of the benefits proposed by the above remedy, should be particularly careful as they value their money and their health, to guard against the numerous impositions daily attempted on the public, by applying to Mr. Wm. Y. Birch, Stationer, No. 27, South Second Street, who is appointed the only vendor in Philadelphia—Likewise observe that none can be depended on as being genuine, unless the signature of Lee & Co. is pasted on the outside of each.

TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, From the commencement Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public. PRINTS. THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large 8vo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be a doll. 75 cts, per volume, in boards, and 3 doll. whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have 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 Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days! Time, that destroys everything, enhanced the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost inestimable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cherishe their alliance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation. The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: "Philadelphia, June 15, 1798. To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. THE MEMORIAL of the subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, Respectfully represents, That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record, and that he has obtained partial countenance from many individuals, but that he has delayed prosecution of the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be diffused among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that end as he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves.
