ELECTION.
At a respectable meeting of a number of the Citizens in the southern part of the County of Philadelphia, agreeable to public notice at the house of Cadwalader Evans in Southwark, for the purpose of promoting the election of JAMES ROSS, Esq. of Pittsburg, Joseph Bird, Esq. was unanimously chosen Chairman.
This meeting taking into consideration the critical situation of our country, assailed with implacable animosity by a vindictive and savage enemy, whom neither the laws of God nor the ordinances of man have been found to influence, and who has not only practiced upon these United States every species of insult, fraud and violence, but committed unexampled acts of cruelty and murder upon our inoffensive and defenceless fellow citizens.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting the choice of a Chief Magistrate of this State being intimately connected with the future happiness of the nation, we are convinced that he should be a man possessing a just regard for the honor, dignity and prosperity of his country, perfectly free from the influence of those perfidious and sacrilegious principles of Jacobinism which have already extinguished every republic on earth but our own—a man totally exempt from foreign influence, interests or connections, to whose integrity and patriotism the Federal government can look with implicit confidence for support in time of danger.
Resolved, That this meeting are of opinion that JAMES ROSS, Esq. of Pittsburg possesses in an eminent degree those qualifications and virtues that are indispensably requisite in the executive of a good government—that his conduct heretofore in the State Convention which adopted the Federal Constitution and in the Senate of the United States has been such as to merit our entire confidence and approbation. Therefore we are determined individually to use all honorable means in our power to promote the election of said James Ross to the office of Governor of this Commonwealth.
Resolved, that the following persons be a committee to exert themselves in their respective wards and furnish tickets for the election.

Operations in Switzerland.
LOWER ELBE, June 29.
By the Vienna Court Gazette, of June 19th, we learn "That the archduke Charles was at Klatzen, the 9th June. He took at Zurich, from which the French had precipitately retreated, 94 cannons."
"On the 8th, Prince Rosenberg attacked the enemy near Alberfeld, and took it. "The enemy having been reinforced after their defeat on the 29th ult. on Mount St. Gothard, near the "Devil's Bridge," dislodged Gen. St. Julien of some of his advantages, gained the 31st. However, Prince Victor Rohan advancing to Brieg, in the Walloon country, and Gen. Herbert from the Grisons, the enemy were forced to abandon the advantages, they had so recently gained."
FRONTIERS OF SWABIA. June 16.
The Archduke's head-quarters were at Kloten the 13th. He intends giving a few days rest to his brave army, which has been fighting with admirable perseverance for the ten days previous to the 4th inst.
On the 13th Massena's head quarters were at Waldenburg, on the road from Soleure to Bâle.
VIENNA, June 12.
On the 4th, 5th and 6th inst. the Archduke attacked the French in front of their strong entrenched camp in the van of Zurich. The combat was long, obstinate and bloody; and the particulars are given at length by his royal highness. On the night of the 5th, the archduke intended making an assault on all their lines; but the French retreated in such haste as to leave in their intrenchments 23 pieces cannon, three howitz, and 18 wagons. In the morning the intrenchments and Zurich were taken possession of. In the latter 94 cannon were found. In the attacks Gens. Hotze, Wallis and Haddic, were wounded. Our loss is very considerable; and our troops combated with such fury, that after storming the redoubts they seized the French that defended them, by the hair, and dispatched them with the butt-end of their firelocks. In the height of the battle, none of the enemy's officers obtained quarter.
STRASBURGH, June 12.
On the 7th inst. General Massena's head quarters were at Arau, and the army returned behind the Reuss.
June 14.
General Xaintrailles, who commands in the Walloon country, has informed the Helvetic Directory, that he defeated the insurgents a third time on the 11th inst. and drove them over the Lax, in consequence of a brisk engagement, in which 226 Austrians were taken prisoners and sent to Lausanne. The insurgents had left upwards of 1200 men. The inhabitants of several valleys surrendered at discretion, and General Xaintrailles was in hopes of being soon able to inform Gen. Massena, that the chief end of his mission was accomplished.
MILAN, June 12.
Gen. Bellegarde has gone to Piedmont, from whence he will march against Acqui, with 12,000, and penetrate the Genoese country on that side.
We have just now learned, that the van of Gen. Macdonald's army has been defeated near Lucca, by Gen. Otto, who has made many prisoners.
The fortress of Urbino has capitulated. On the 7th, 600 French prisoners arrived from Lugano.
General Moreau has stretched his right wing towards Genoa, to sustain Gen. Victor, who covers the Ligurian territory, on the side of the Imperialists.
June 11. Gen. Macdonald's army is stationed part on the mountains of Tuscany, and part towards Lucca.—A good position.
June 12. After Moreau had detached Generals Victor and Grenier to Genoa, Gen. V. marched to the valley of Tora, to co-operate with Macdonald. They then dislodged General Otto, near Pontremoli, and beat him back as far as Parma.
VERONA, June 14.
In order to cover Macdonald's march by Sarzana to Genoa, Gen. Montichard was obliged to make a movement with 8000 men against Modena; but Gen. Hohenzollern has repulsed him. General Otto is now collecting his whole force to encounter the enemy; and General Suwarow is hastening with the main army towards Genoa, to support him.
The city of Ferrara is raising a corps of 4000 guards to co-operate with the imperial army.
We expect here an army of 12,000 Russians, in all June.
The French troops in Tuscany are joining Moreau. Every where they impose contributions. Even at Bologna they demanded two millions, but were offered only 130,000.
June 15. The 11th, Gen. Hohenzollern succeeded in repulsing a corps of 8000 French, who approached Modena, and took 800 prisoners. But Gen. Macdonald's army of 30,000, appearing, the Austrian general retired to the Po. The French extend towards Ferrara and Parma. General Otto is near Piacenza, receiving reinforcements. Gen. Kray is gone in haste to Gen. Suwarow's head quarters, to concert
the plan of operations against Mod. and Parma. The Duke of Parma, and family, are fled across the Po, where they are in safety.
Roveredo, (in the Tyrol) June 14.
Gen. Macdonald has marched from Pontremoli and Sarzana towards Genoa, to join Moreau.
Gen. Suwarow will break out in forced marches from Savona to Alessandria, and another battle will be decisive of the fate of Italy. His army will consist of 50,000 men.
The siege of Mantua is suspended for a short time.
VIENNA, June 19.
Count Melas writes that Gen. Moreau had retreated, and taken a position at Sarzana, in the gulf of Genoa, which enabled him to wait his reinforcement, from Gen. Macdonald's army, and Generals Montichard and Grenier's divisions, from Naples, Tuscany and Bologna.
In order to oppose this junction, and to prosecute the sieges of the citadels of Turin, Tortona and Alessandria, the troops under Generals Bellegarde and Otto, the divisions of General Frölich and Hohenzollern, and the brigades of General Seckendorff and Albani, are to form an Army of Observation, to act as exigencies may require. Besides those 11,000 Russians, who have marched thro' Kassel and Pust, will join Suwarow, which will make his reinforcements 25,000. The proportion will therefore be kept up.
Gen. Suwarow, and army, have marched from hence, leaving a strong force to besiege the citadel. The commander Gen. Fiorella, is expected to make a vigorous defence, to escape the fate of the Commanders of Chiera, Pizzighettone, Milan, Ceva, and Ferrara.
After the battle of Ceva, Gen. Moreau left the environs of Alessandria, and retreated toward Ali; on the 10th he continued his retreat to Carmagnole and Coni; and on the 26th fell back towards Coni, Tenda, and Nice.
The insurrections in Piedmont have greatly contributed to its evacuation by the French. They have had several bloody battles with the French and frequently have been obliged to yield to the tactics and efforts of the French. All is quiet now—as the French retire the insurrection ceases, and the peasants return to their work. All the King's Officers are reinstated.
Junction of Macdonald with Moreau.
Vienna, June 19.
Gen. Macdonald having entered the defile of the mountains on the sea coast, his march through upper Italy the accounts of his junction with Moreau are no longer doubted; but the junction of the corps of Generals Gauthier and Montichard will be vigorously impeded.
"Gen. Macdonald has effected a junction with Moreau's army."
Gen. Moreau left a considerable garrison at Coni.
Another Explosion in France!
Paris June 18.
In the Council of 500 and Augments, Briot and Savary expressed their astonishment at the neglect of the Directory to reply to the Message of the Legislative assemblies of the 5th, on the interior and exterior state of the Republic. A new request was made, with the addition, that the Councils remain permanent until an answer should be received. Three hours after the Directory promised an answer the next day. The Council of 500 nevertheless continued permanent. After a violent discussion the Council suspended the dictatorial power of the Directory over the Journals and Pamphlets, and provisionally decreed six articles on the liberty of the Press.
The Council was informed that the Directory had declared itself permanent.
The Councils decreed, at 11 o'clock at night, the election of Treillard to be unconstitutional.—Treillard immediately ceased his functions, as Director.
Yesterday the ex-minister Gohier was elected, and proclaimed the new Director. The Revolution of the Executive Power is nearly complete, and of all the Directors from whom Sieyes so lately received the fraternal embrace, on his installation there is none now remaining but Barras.
Boulay de la Meurthe, in pursuance of his plan to annihilate the Dictatorial power of the Directory, proposed in the sitting of the 30th of Prairial, to refer the answer of the Directory to a special commission. He expressed himself very strong on this occasion on the Dictatorship which a triumvirate wished to assume. I revealed to you, he said, three days ago, the secret of the circumstances in which we are now involved. Since the 18th of Fructidor, the Executive Power has assumed the dictatorship, and neglected nothing to vilify the national representation. You have remained silent; you thought they would use this immense power for the salvation of the Republic but they have only employed it to bring on its ruin. They have rendered us the objects of the detestation of all nations. We will resume our place in Europe, and we shall be beloved and respected. I accuse, above all, Merlin and La Revelliere as the authors of these evils. These men can never remain in the Executive power.
Arena informed the Council of several facts, tending to inculpate the Directors and the Minister of the police, in whose office he said they had been continually employed during four and twenty hours, in burning papers; these papers, he added, would without doubt have discovered the arbitrary and illegal measures of the Directory and have thrown a new light on the conspiracy.
Francois, of Nantes, caused a decree to be passed in the name of the commission of eleven members, to whom the message of the Directors had been referred importing that
the Council then suspended the sitting till eight. Very heavy accusations are brought forward against RameL, Minister of the Finance, and Francois Neufchateau. General Joubert is appointed to the command of the military force of the capital, in the place of Gillot. The three cashiered Directors, had attempted to cause 70 members of the Council of Five Hundred, to be arrested, which Barras opposed. They afterwards ordered General Femeres, the Commandant of Paris to arrest 20 Deputies, but he refused to obey the orders. Merlin, who has been called in the Council of Five Hundred, a second Duke of Alba, is said to have committed the greatest enormities. The numerous literary articles are now to cease, in consequence of a decree of the Council of Five Hundred—Paris has remained perfectly quiet amidst all these events. The play-houses, coffee-houses, public gardens and walks are crowded with company. The Director Gohier has accepted, and has already been installed.
NAPLES RETAKEN.
FIUME, (at the head of the Adriatic) June 5. An advice boat has arrived here from Naples, with the intelligence, that the Russians, Turks and English had landed near the city, into which Cardinal Ruffo had penetrated, at the same time, with an army of 40,000 men. A bloody action is said to have ensued, in which several thousand patriots and Frenchmen were either killed or taken prisoners.
HAMBURG SUMMARIES.
LOWER ELBE, June 22.
The Vienna Court Gazettes of the 11th and 12th of June, received on the 20th, confirm the chief events detailed of late.
Gen. Melas, under the 3d of June, advises no material occurrence in the army at and around Turin. Field Marshal Frölich pushed on beyond Pignerol, Banculiere and Carignano, occupied Poffano, with a division, took post near Savignano, and his patrols invaded already the environs of Cuneo, a strong city on the confux of the Shira and Gesso.
General Vukassovich's advanced guard had entered Carmagnola, Alba, and Cherasco; in the latter he found several metal and heavy iron guns, with various ammunition.
The siege of the strong citadel of Turin, is continued most vigorously with the guns of the city.
General Lusignan was sent against the French division at Pœuclrelle, on the river Cluson; and Gen. Albani has begun to bombard the citadel of Tortona. The fortification of Ceva, taken by the armed peasants almost surrounded with French troops, was victualled for thirty days, when the French collecting their force closer, began to bombard it, and re-occupied Mondovì; but the advanced guard of Vukassovich forced them to quit both places a second time.
Field Marshal Kray, at Castelluccio, on the 4th, writes of having reinforced Gen. Otto, who had taken such positions near Ferno, (famous for the severe battle between Charles VIII. of France, and the duke of Milan, with his allies) as completely to cover Parma, and Piacenza. The siege of Mantua is continued with the most vigorous perseverance.
Gen. Count Bellegarde, after taking, with unexampled bravery, the famous St. Gothard's Mount, embarked, with his own division, on the Lago di Como, to proceed by Milan and Pavia, against Tortona, to join the Italian army—leaving behind him Gen. Haddick to maintain the communication between Field Marshal Suwarow, and the Archduke Charles, which is now facilitated by St. Gothard and Turin.
The Archduke's troops passed in haste through Zurich, to pursue the French, and leave them no time to take post again.—Hence the whole eastern parts of Switzerland are evacuated.
Private letters from Vienna state, that Cardinal Ruffo had re-entered Naples, and was pursuing Macdonald very closely; others say he was approaching Rome.
From Venice, on the 6th of June they write, that the Imperialists had entered Cesena, on the river Savio, and Rimini, on the river Marecchia, where they took 5 cannon, 60 prisoners, and the French Council of Sinagaglia.
JUNE 29.
By the Vienna Court Gazette Extraordinary, of 16th June, the junction of Generals Moreau and Macdonald's armies is officially announced. From the above official as well as private accounts, it appears that General Macdonald's march was effected through the mountain defiles in upper Italy, and along the sea-coast, which enabled him to join General Moreau on his retreat to the valley on the river Tanaro, and near Savona, on the Genoese coast. Here they expected also to be joined by Generals Montichard and Gauthier from Tuscany and Bologna.
To oppose the combined forces of the French, without hindrance to the close siege of the citadels of Turin, Tortona, and Alessandria, the corps under V. M. Lt. Generals Bellegarde and Otto; the divisions

of Generals Frolich and Hehenzollern, the brigades of Generals Seckendorff and Alcam, have all been united into a strong army of observation, ready to act every instant in support of the grand army of F. M. Suwarow. Hence the news of a general and bloody engagement may soon be expected, and which, no doubt, will decide the fate of the French in Italy.
The official accounts from Switzerland only come down to the 9th; under which date the Archduke Charles wrote to Vienna, that the French left 94 pieces of cannon in Zurich, and that the progressive movements to mount St. Gothard and the Devil's Bridge, had been stopped by Col. Prince Rohan, Generals Hebert and Haddick.
Direct letters from Switzerland say, that General Massena disputes every inch of ground, and had obtained some trifling advantages in the engagements since the 9th which, however, were soon returned by the Imperialists, whose head quarters, on the 15th, were still at Kiatten, where General Horz, and other chiefs, hold conference every day.

"As I was marching through Mondovi, I saw a nunnery, where the French committed excesses before their retreat: They cut in pieces some of the nuns, the rest they crushed to death with blows of the butt end of their muskets: The French are now all at Coni, which fortress being very strong by nature, will rather retard the progress of our troops.

ELECTION.
The friends to the Election of JAMES ROSS, as Governor, resident in the Townships of Blockley and Kingessing, are requested to meet at George Weed's lower Bridge on Schuylkill, on Saturday, 31st August, at 3 o'clock, to take into consideration the most proper steps in support of his Election. Blockley, August 23, 1799.
THE subscribers, members of the Grand Inquest of the county of Chester, having attentively and deliberately considered the relative merits of the two persons now in nomination for Governor, to succeed the present, do not hesitate in pledging themselves to support JAMES ROSS, of Pittsburgh, at the ensuing election for office, inasmuch as he has always, with that constituency which exclusively appertains to the friends of America, advocated her rights in spite of all the menaces and calumnies of foreign enemies & domestic traitors; that his mind has been superior to the popular clamours of the moment steadily pursuing the interests of the people without being of this party to-day, and the other to-morrow, as popular prejudice might seem to vibrate; and as there will be a vacancy in the Senate of Pennsylvania, at the ensuing election, for a Senator, from the district composed of the counties of Chester, Montgomery and Bucks, we do recommend, as our choice, and are determined to support ZEBULON POTTS, Esq. for said office.

SPECULATION.
TO BE SOLD. At Public Vendue, on Monday the 1st of September next, at 2 o'clock, P. M. at the house of the Subscriber, living in the town of New-Castle, State of Delaware, a quantity of valuable
LOTS, suitable for building on, being the South side 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 what 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 stock, &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 mill-pot power has never made any progress, and the Age 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 DARRAGH. N. B.—A part of the above will be exhibited any time previous, as well as on the day of sale. August 26.

Also for Sale, situated as above mentioned on the Banks of said River, several small improved places with valuable Fisheries, together with timber and wood lands, adjacent saw-mills &c. Likewise Lots upon said River, on which Houses may be built easy and cheap, lumber &c. being plenty in the neighbourhood: a new Furnace is erected near by, and from every appearance the place is likely to become good for trade, and almost every kind of business, the Navigation of the River being safe and easy, and the distance to the ocean not more than seven or eight miles, the feats for water works and manufacturing equal to any in the United States; being situated so near navigation that there is little or no land carriage—any person inclining to purchase will please apply to the subscriber on the premises or to GEORGE W.

TERMS
Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia,
JOURNALS OF CONGRESS,
FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE 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.
TERMS.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. 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 2 dollars. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars. whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable sum 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 it at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal 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 rudimentary stages, 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, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost invaluable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance 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 & earnestly,
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 records; and that he has obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom, render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work, so that your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase copies of that record for themselves.

By WILLIAM GIFFORD, Esquire.
To which is prefixed,
A POETICAL EPistle TO THE AUTHOR
By an American Gentleman.
[In introducing this celebrated work to the Gentlemen and Ladies of America, I have endeavored to give it a dress proportioned to its distinguished merit, and to the taste of those for whose amusement and delight it is intended. No expense has been spared in the publication; and I flatter myself that the work does not yield, either in paper or print, to any one ever published in America. This edition has an advantage over some former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle, which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans who have the taste to admire, the justice to applaud, and the talents to rival the Genius of other nations.]
Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Saml. Marshall, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston.
Copies will be sent to Boston and other places; as soon as occasions offer.]

The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES,
NOW RUNNING BETWEEN
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By the short and pleasant road of
Burlington, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Springfield and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populousness of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Through Fare 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 among 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 presents 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 Frankford to Burlington, where it stops to Breakfast; from Burlington it goes through Newtown to Pennytown to dinner; from Pennytown through Hopewell, Millstone, Boundbrook, Quibbleton 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 street, 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 14 lbs. 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 baggage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; and 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 late 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 sober and obliging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the persons they employ 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 bear the testimony of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns, of those with the highest satisfaction.

A meeting of the visitors and governors of St. John's college in the State of Maryland, held on the 13th day of July 1799, Resolved, That on the first day of October next, this board will proceed to elect a Professor of English, Latin and Grammar, who shall receive, for his services, at the rate of £200 per annum, to be paid quarterly; and that public notice thereof be given, &c. &c.
A. C. HANSON.
N. B. The office aforesaid hath just become vacant, by the resignation of a gentleman, whose absence requires, the immediate undertaking of a voyage by sea.
It is the duty of the said Professor (to whom is allowed an assistant) to teach the English language grammatically, and to prepare students for a superior school, by teaching them the Latin grammar, the Vocabulary, and Corderius. Writing is to be taught to all his scholars at stated hours; and to those students who are not destined for the superior school, are to be taught, at the discretion of their parents, or guardians, Arithmetic, and other branches of science usually taught in English schools. A complete knowledge of Latin, Arithmetic, &c. is considered indispensable in the professor; and it is expected, that candidates who are not known to the Board, will submit to an examination, as well as produce satisfactory testimonials of their good morals, and fair characters.
The Printers within the United States are requested to insert in their papers the foregoing resolution and remarks, and to repeat the publication, as often as convenience will admit, until the 20th day of September next.

And whereas, the said sheriff did, at the term of June last, return to the said court that he had attached the defendant by a certain bond given by Matthias Dunn and Samuel Meeker to the said defendant, to the amount of two thousand dollars, and also by other land warrants;
Now therefore, whereas the said John Cleves Symmes has appeared, given special bail, and received a declaration at the suit of the plaintiff, judgment will be entered against him, and his property will be attached, will be sold agreeably to the statute in such case made and provided.
