CONVIVIAL SONG.
Sung at Windsor (Ver.) on the evening of the FOURTH OF JULY.
Composed on the occasion—By R. TYLER. TUNE—"Here's to our noble selves, Boys."
COME fill each brimming glass boys, Red or white has equal joys. Come fill each brimming glass, boys, And toast your country's glory; Does any here to fear incline, And o'er Columbia's danger whine, Why let him quaff this ren'tro's wine, He'll tell another story.
II.
Here's WASHINGTON, the brave, boys, Source of all Columbia's joys, Here's WASHINGTON, the brave, boys, Come rise and toast him standing; For here's the hero firm and brave, Who all our country's glory gave, And once again he shall us save, Our armies bold commanding.
III.
Here's to the gallant Tar, boys, Whose cannon's roar our foe annoys, Here's to the gallant Tar, boys, His country's cause defending: For while he TRAXTON's noble name, Like Nelson's shall extend his fame, And loud through all the earth proclaim, His glory never ending.
IV.
Here's to our native land, boys, Land of liberty and joys, Here's to our native land, boys, Your glasses raise for drinking; And he that will not drink the toast, May he in France of freedom boast, There dangling on a lanterne post, Or in the Loire be drinking.
V.
Here's to our Vermont Fair, boys, Pledges bright of fed'ral joys, Here's to our Vermont Fair, boys, Fill high to love and beauty; For while we toast their glowing charms, Their virtue ev'ry bosom warms, We'll die to guard them safe from harms, It is a fed'ral duty.
VI.
Here's to Vermont state, boys, And all her manly rustic joys, Here's to Vermont state, boys, Columbia's brave defender: For while our pines ascend on high, And while our mountains mock the sky, Our independence, liberty, We never will surrender.
VII.
Here's to the sage of Quincy, boys, Legal head of all our joys, Here's to the sage of Quincy, boy, Who guards us while we're drinking: For while we quaff the boozey wine, And sense and tiply mirth combine— With temp'rate head he sits sublime, And for our good is thinking.
VIII.
Now come join hand in hand, boys, Mythic type of fed'ral joys, Now come join hand in hand, boys, Like brother, brother greeting; For while our union we pursue, 'Tis I and he, and you and you, Our pleasure all may yet renew, At our next fed'ral meeting.

ELECTION.
THE Grand Jury for the County of Delaware, at July Sessions 1799, impressed with the importance of selecting a suitable character to succeed the present Governor, at the ensuing Election, whose attachment to the Constitution and Government of the United States, would be likely to insure a just, impartial and decisive administration, and having full confidence in the integrity, patriotism and talents of JAMES ROSS, Esq. of Pittsburgh, do therefore unanimously recommend him to the suffrages of our fellow Citizens of Delaware county.
Aug. 8.
At a numerous and respectable meeting of the Citizens of Philadelphia and the liberties thereof, held at Dunwoody's in the city of Philadelphia on Tuesday the 13th inst. for the purpose of fixing upon a suitable person to fill the IMPORTANT office of GOVERNOR of this State, the following Resolutions were unanimously adopted, viz.
Resolved, as the sense of this meeting, That it is essential to the honor and happiness of Pennsylvania, and highly important to the best interests of the United States, that, at the ensuing election of governor of this commonwealth, the suffrages of our fellow citizens should be given to a candidate who, combining the requisites of talents and integrity with temperance of character and independence of connexion, will ably and faithfully execute the trusts of that high station, who conciliating the particular interests of the state with the general interests of the United States, will cordially cultivate the necessary intercourse with the Federal Government; and who, having never avowed himself the partisan of foreign politics, will be at perfect liberty to pursue the exclusive advantage of his own country.
Resolved, as the sense of this meeting, That JAMES ROSS , of Pittsburgh, unites, in an eminent degree, the requisites, expressed in the preceding resolution, to fill the high office of Governor of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania; and that this meeting being justified in their opinion by the uniform tenor of his private and public conduct, will give him their best support at the ensuing election.
Resolved, as the sense of this meeting, that the corresponding committee heretofore appointed, be instructed to prepare an address to our fellow citizens throughout the state, on the subject of said election, wherein, if they shall deem it necessary or useful to defeat the projects of our antagonists, they shall be at liberty freely to examine and discuss the merits of the opposite candidate, and the pretensions of those persons, who thus presume to assign improper motives to the conduct of others; and that, unawed by official character, or by any other consideration, the individuals who compose this meeting will aid the examination and discussion, if they shall be resolved on, by supplying every necessary information, whether it shall tend to expose the inability or defects of the opposite candidate; or to illustrate and explain the characters of those individuals who style themselves his supporters, and who have thus dared, under their signatures, to impeach the integrity of their opponents.
And in adducing this information (Mr M c Kean's services as a judge being much relied on) it may be necessary to resort to the remonstrances of Juries, and the representations of the Bar, to expose his judicial tyranny and intemperance, or to the deliberate declarations of political wishes and opinions which, if realized, would subvert the liberty, the religion, and the social order of our country.
Or, in discussing the pretensions of those men who have thus falsely stigmatized their opponents, it may be necessary to recur to Proclamations which have proscribed some of them as TRAITORS—to examine documents to have the most disgraceful allegations against others—to enquire into the equivocal circumstances which cloud the late coming of others of them to America, who, like birds of ill omen, have made their appearance among us since the revolution, and who now dare to question the motives of men who hazarded all that was dear to them in establishing the Independence of America. The committee are requested, if they are resolved to recriminate, to give to all the facts which they may state, such solemn sanctions will stamp conviction on the minds of whoever may peruse them.
ROBERT WHARTON. Chairman.
After which, taking into consideration the propriety of nominating a candidate for the office of Senator of this state, for the district composed of the city and county of Philadelphia, and county of Delaware, it was unanimously resolved.

July 30, 1799.
At a numerous and respectable meeting of the freemen of the townships of Oxford, Lower Dublin, Byberry and Manor of Moreland, held the 10th inst. at the house of John Sager, in Byberry, for the purpose of fixing on a suitable character to be run for governor at the ensuing election;—

Late Foreign Articles
NEW-YORK, August 14.
By the Jane, arrived yesterday from St. Thomas's, we received Antigua papers, containing London dates to the 12th June, inclusive. The foreign advices not before detailed in the Daily Advertiser, we copy— they follow:
RATISBON, May 22.
It is now three months since private letters from Russia announced that the Swedish fleet of flat bottomed vessels would join the Russian galley fleet, which was to sail upon a certain expedition in the course of June. Sweden has also recalled its Ambassador from Paris, and the declaration since made by the King of Sweden to the Diet shews, that these measures were preconceived long ago.
The 45,000 Russians, who march into Austria, will be employed against the French conquests on the Lower Rhine, &c. it being the interest of England that pays those troops to have the enemy attacked in those parts.
SECOND PROCLAMATION Of General Suwarow to the Inhabitants of Piedmont.
Sensible of the necessity of establishing public order in these provinces, happily reconquered by the combined Austro-Russian forces, and considering it as a duty not only to watch over the distribution of justice, but also to maintain in activity all the branches of public economy and administration, on the footing and according to the system established by the late government of his Majesty the King of Sardinia, we order as follows:
 1ly. The laws and political and civil establishments which existed before the order of things which has just ceased, are to remain in force.  2dly. Lieutenant General Baron Latour is invested by us with the most extensive powers, to make all the dispositions he shall think necessary, as well in the military as in the civil and economical departments, and appoint persons who shall be deemed, on account of their probity and talents, the fittest to fill the places.  3dly. The persons appointed by Lieutenant General Baron Latour, shall exercise all the functions entrusted to them, conformably to the aforesaid laws and establishments; and in unforeseen cases they shall act as may be most expedient for maintaining public order.  4thly. The dispositions relative to the financial department, and the extinction of the public debt at present existing, shall continue to be observed; however, until it shall be otherwise ordained, the circulation and issuing of royal notes bearing interest, shall be suspended. 
Head-Quarters at Volterra, the 8th of May, 1799. Alexander Suwarow Rimnisky.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 10.
The Grand Vizier sets out hence on the 20th instant. The Selim, of 120 guns, carries 21 to the coast of Asia, with a squadron of 21 ships of the line and two frigates. The rendezvous of the troops whom the Grand Vizier will further take with him, is to be at Scutari. General Kochler, Major Franklin, and other English officers, will accompany him.
The Porte has some time back invited all brave Mussulmen to rise in a mass against the French.
LONDON, June 11.
It is a circumstance not less curious than true, that such is the disposition of the Spaniards towards their Republican Allies, that when Lord St. Vincent thought it necessary to send a dispatch, to Lisbon, announcing the arrival of the French fleet off Cadiz, it was forwarded by the Spaniards with more speed than they are in general accustomed to employ in the conveyance of dispatches.
Since our last, two of the Hamburg mails have arrived—that which came to hand yesterday put it beyond dispute, that the accounts received on Sunday of a bloody battle fought near Alessandria on the 13th of May, was premature; but subsequent intelligence makes amends for the disappointment.
In Switzerland, just as we suspected, the progress of the Austrians has been completely such, as the French Directory, who must have garbled Massena's dispatches, would wish should not be known. It appears there was a severe battle on the 28th, the consequence of which was, that the whole French army fell back, and left Zurich entirely uncovered; which city, private letters say, was taken possession of by the Austrians on the 31st of May. The posts occupied by the French according to the last accounts were simply such as might enable Massena to protect the French frontier till reinforcements arrive.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
JUDGMENT AGAINST LORD THANET AND MR. FERGUSON.
At half past ten the Marshal appeared in court with his prisoners. The Attorney General informed the Court, that he had received his Majesty's command to issue Noli Prosequi with respect to the conviction, on the 1st, 2d, and 3d, counts of the indictment. There being doubts entertained respecting the subject, accordingly he had issued that writ, which cleared the defendants from the most criminal part of the conviction; but he was ordered by the King, to crave judgment upon the 3d and 4th counts, for a riot to disturb the King's Court of Justice.
Judge Grose immediately addressed the prisoners, and after a speech of twelve minutes, which for impressiveness, and legal disquisition, was perhaps never exceeded, passed judgment—Upon Sackville, Earl Thanet, a fine of £1000, a year's imprisonment
in the Tower, for eleven years; himself in £10,000, and two others in £5000 each. Robert Ferguson, Esq. a fine of £100, one year's imprisonment in the King's Bench, and to give security for seven years, himself in £500, and two others in £250 each. The Duke of Bedford, Earl Derby, and Sir Francis Burdett attended Earl Thanet, but not a word was said, except by the Attorney General and Judge Grose.
June 12.
Finding the Spanish Cadiz fleet will not, or at least had not followed the British squadron, the French papers are daily employed in fabricating excuses for its non-arrival at Toulon. Among others, they report it has been forced into Carthagena by stress of weather, where they say it is repairing.
We believe the Spaniards are very desirous the English should keep a squadron off Cadiz, to afford them a pretext for keeping in port.
Other letters detail very obstinate engagements near Mayano, on the 18th of May, in which the French attacked and fought with great bravery, but were overcome at last, 1000 men in killed and wounded, and 2000 prisoners. The Imperialists, with the Piedmontese insurgents, took the town and citadel of Turin.
The Court Gazette of Vienna, May 29th silent respecting the above victory of the 18th of May, but it is given in circumstantially by private letters which come in a direct course thro' Germany, that it may be expected Government will speedily receive the official accounts of the 18th, in addition to those which relate to the French in Switzerland.
We further learn from the London Gazette of last night, which contains a flat dispatch from Sir M c Donough, of one day later date than the accounts from Vienna, by the Mails, that the citadel of Milan surrendered on the 24th ultimo. Ferrara, Casale and Ceva, have also been taken.—Thus we are enabled to account for the retreat of Moreau in Coni, who, by the time it is probable, has been driven entirely out of Piedmont; unless he should have succeeded in forming a junction with Macdonald, which, however, would be the more difficult to effect, as the allies have advanced to near to the Genoese frontier as Ceva.
The defeat of the French in Syria appears to be at length officially confirmed by letters from Constantinople of a very late date.
Orders were on Monday issued from the War Office, signed by the Secretary at War, to the relations and friends of non commissioned officers and soldiers, that all enquiries relative to the existence or death of non commissioned officers or soldiers may, in future, be made either by letter or personally, free from all expense of postage or other charges whatsoever.
The Herald of this morning says, the Royal pardon for the Earl of Thanet, and Mr. Ferguson, passed the Great Seal yesterday, and this day they are expected to be enlarged from their respective places of confinement.
The Dublin Evening Post of Saturday, last, received this morning, states as follows:—
"Thursday last night, Lord Bridport, with his whole fleet, got under weigh—and on Friday morning they were all clear off Mizen head, steering S. with the wind N. W."
The following order to Col. Strauch, is a specimen of laconic style in which Field Marshal Suwarow sends his military orders.—"Immediately after receiving these dispatches, you are to break up, with four battalions, to stop the French in the Valterline, and to take fort Tyentes. This order was successfully obeyed."
ST. JOHNS, (Antigua) July 18.
The English papers, by the Mail which arrived yesterday, contains very copious details of the proceedings of the armies on the continent, particularly that under Gen. Suwarow in Italy; all of them highly favourable to the Allies.
The Archduke Charles, it appears, had entered Switzerland with his army, where every thing promised the happiest event to his exertions.
Tortona, the key of Piedmont, was in the hands of one of Suwarow's Generals. It must be recollected that Piedmont has for a length of time been in a state of Insurrection against the French, and may therefore be expected to join the Austrians and Russians against the common enemy.
The Account of Moreau's being taken in the engagement with Suwarow appears unfounded, subsequent Accounts from the seat of War stating, that he was then retiring by forced Marches with about 8000 men, the shattered remains of his army.
To the above may be added the reduction of Milan, where the allies were received with open arms by the Inhabitants.

BOSTON, August 10. The news from Europe reaches us with progressive, though small-like space. We give this day, London dates, by arrivals at Calcutta and New-York, a few days later than before received.
The series of Imperial successes are uninterrupted, and their aspect as brilliant, as those of Buonaparte were on the same theatre, in 1797. Ere this, it is highly probable, every Frenchman's foot, from the North to the Mediterranean seas, has made impressions within his native boundaries, with its toes inwards.
The capture of Genoa, heretofore announced on the credit of reports, is now established on official responsibility.
Of General Macdonald's army—if its destruction is not authentically pronounced; its fate is almost as certain as hopes and wills have anticipated; and his name will speedily be consigned to the oblivion of Jourdan's, or to the ignominy which is attached to Scherer's.
The French once had an army denominated the "Army of England"—The English it seems, are preparing a force, which speedily may justly be called the "Army in Holland." They certainly possess the nerves and sinews of war; for although the current expenses of 1799 are estimated at thirty millions sterling, so popular is the war against France, that Mr. Pitt can raise this, and much larger sums, with as much apparent facility as though he were master of the mines of Peru or Brazil; or had found the long-sought Philosopher's Stone.
Sweden enters on the belligerent stage in the fifth act—She is perhaps, solicitous of sharing in the honors of the denouement; and of assisting to close the drama with applause.
THE FRENCH DIRECTORY
Is now composed of citizens Barras, La Revelliere, Lepaux, Merlin (of Douai) Triet-hard and Sieyes. The two former are the only remaining of the first batch—and will have to draw lots the next which goes out. Sieyes has five years to serve from the 20th May, 1799; Triet-hard four, and Merlin three years.
Monneron, the ex-director of the French bank, has been acquitted of fraudulent bankruptcy, by the criminal tribunal.
17th JULY CELEBRATION.
The President of the United States, in a private letter, speaking of the celebration of the 17th of July, by the citizens of Boston, says—"The Young Men of Boston do honor to their education, their parents and their country; and in the celebration of that day were excited by the purest motives, and governed by the best principles."
NEW-YORK, August 14.
Capt. Debea, of the Schooner Union, in forms, that the ship that occasioned the dispersion of the fleet, was a frigate of 44 guns, and passed so near the Union, that he could see their manoeuvres quite plain. Capt. D. is convinced she was an enemy ship; for he saw her man her boat, and let down a gun into her, which was placed in her bow, for the purpose no doubt, of taking defenceless vessels. It is fortunate, however, that night came on before she could have made many captures, which enabled most of the fleet to get out of her reach.
When the above frigate first entered the fleet, she had English colours flying, but hauled them down, and did not shew any others. Capt. Bainbridge informs, that the next morning he collected 80 of the scattered vessels, which he conveyed safe to our coast; and it is highly probable, that the Retaliation got together several others—But there is room to believe that the frigate made some captures.
It is said a court martial is to be held at Fort Jay, to settle the dispute between Capt. Fry and Major Hoops.
We mention this to do away the report of a duel having been fought between those two gentlemen, in which, it was said, Major Hoops had fallen.
From a late Jamaica Paper.
The following has been handed to us in consequence of the publication in our last, recommending the use of Yeast in putrid diseases:
Copy of a receipt for making Yeast, taken many months ago from an English Paper.
YEAST—This useful article, of which there is frequently a scarcity in this country is thus prepared on the coast of Persia:—Take a small tea-cup, or wine glass full of split or bruised peas, pour on it a pint of boiling water, and set the whole in a vessel all night on the hearth, or any other warm place; the water will have a froth on its top the next morning, which will be good yeast. Mr. Eton, when in Persia, had his bread made with this yeast, and in the English manner, of good wheat flour. In our cold climate, especially in a cold season, it should stand longer to ferment, perhaps four and twenty hours. Of all methods of making Yeast hitherto known, this is by far the most simple and commodious.
Letters from Madrid, state that the Council of Castile has recognized and published a Bull of the Pope, which, in consequence of pecuniary contributions, authorizes all the Spaniards to eat meat every day in the year, except during Ember-Weeks, and the Thursday and Friday of Holy Week. It is also said, that his Holiness has granted to his Catholic Majesty the power of appropriating to himself all the tithes of his kingdom. This operation of finance would be at once the
most advantageous, the most applicable and the best calculated to draw away the embarrassments in which the Spanish treasury is at present involved, particularly by the interruption of trade between Spain and America.
During the gull on Sunday evening last about 9 o'clock, a small sail boat, with three young men in it, was upset opposite Bushwick Creek. Their cries were heard by Mr. Collier, who immediately put off in the dark to relieve them, but was only in time to save one of the boys, whom he found clinging to an oar almost perished. The other two must have been drowned. We could not learn their names, as the lad who was taken up was not sufficiently recovered to communicate particulars.
GOSHEN, (New-York) Aug. 6.
Last week were brought to this town four of the Money making gentry , from the upper part of this county, with a part of their coining apparatus, which was found in a cedar swamp at New-Shawanknock, where they carried on their business—they were examined by two of the Judges of this county, and committed to prison—one of them turned state's evidence, and it is probable that there is yet a number of these fellows lurking about this county, we hope no exertions will be spared by the citizens of Orange County, to detect and bring them to justice. In the pocket of one of them was found thirty four counterfeit dollars, which it is supposed were made the morning they were detected (Sunday) as they were very bright and two men were so near as to hear them at work—
On the night of Sunday, the 21st ultimo, James Steel, put an end to his life by hanging himself—The reason of his becoming his own executioner we know not—he was a person who would get intoxicated whenever he could get liquor, put if we are rightly informed, he was very sober the evening he took his exit.—This is the fourth person who have come to an untimely end by their own hands within a few miles of this place, in the course of the last three or four months.
HARTFORD, (Con.) August 12.
On Friday the 2d instant, the Barn of the Rev. Asa-on Putnam, of Pomfret, was struck with lightning, and consumed with all its contents of hay, &c. The same day a number of generous friends of the worthy sufferer, in Pomfret, agreed immediately to put up for him, a new barn, of the same dimensions, and to fill it with hay. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy.

Extract from the minutes of the Board of Health, 6th mo. 14th, 1799.
The necessity of adopting some strenuous measures to prevent the intercourse by boats both from the city and the Jersey shore, and also for that of preventing the sailors straggling from vessels under quarantine or leaving the ship during her passage up the Delaware; being under consideration: It was resolved, that the physician and quarantine master, be directed to require of the master or other person or persons on board every vessel under quarantine on his or their oaths or affirmations whether any person has been on board of the vessel during the time she lay under quarantine, and also whether any person has been on shore by swimming or otherwise, and that they inform the masters of the vessels under quarantine, that if they by any means shall elude this question they will be prosecuted, and that even by their own confession it shall appear that any communication was had with the shore by either of the above means, that unless they give immediate information of the circumstance and detain the offender on board the vessel until the physician and quarantine master shall take charge of him or them; that the vessel will be detained under quarantine for a longer period than that prescribed by law.
As the few cases of the Yellow Fever which took place in this city this season were generally said to have been communicated from the ship General Wayne, we hope the utmost attention will be paid to all vessels arriving from infected places. The detention of a vessel at Staten Island for a few days may be termed a performance of quarantine, but if the cargo is not properly aired, and the vessel ventilated and purified from all noxious exhalations or disagreeable smells, such quarantine will be totally useless, productive of no essential good, but injurious to the owners and the concerned. However strong visionary Theorists may insist that there is no necessity for quarantine laws, nor no reason to fear contagion, yet it is dangerous to rely upon their assurances. Our atmosphere during the heat of the summer months is too fruitful a soil to have it impregnated with the seeds of the foreign pestilence. That the epidemics which have so repeatedly scourged our sea ports were generated from local causes, we do not attempt to deny; but as the importation of disease is possible, we have just cause to apply all the preventatives which human wisdom can devise or circumstances can allow to arrest the progress of foreign disease towards our shores.
The extreme and tediousness of last winter, added to the frigidity and backwardness of spring, might lead us to expect that we would not be visited by the fever this year. It is necessary to say, we hope this idea may be realized, yet we are anxious that such an expectation should not induce the health officers and citizens to relax, a particle of that care and attention which is absolutely necessary to annihilate, if possible, the domestic causes which may give birth to so dreadful an evil. N. Y. Argus.
The London Marine Society, from its establishment in 1756, to 1763, fitted out and sent on board his Majesty's or the ships of Merchants, 5,174 distressed and destitute boys, who were rescued from probable destruction, and rendered not only useful to themselves, but highly conducive to the glory and strength of their country, which many of them would otherwise have contributed to destroy. From the year 1764 to the 31st of December 1798, the number of boys was increased to 21,576, including 790, who having been discharged at the Peace, were again fitted out and apprenticed by the Society, which to the same period fitted out 28,157 Landmen, who volunteered to serve in the Navy; making the total number amount to 49,733; whilst the Governor of this highly and patriotic Institution instructed in a ship near Deptford 100 boys (originally destitute as the rest) not only in theoretical and practical Navigation, but in all the moral and religious duties.
The loss we experienced during the American war in the number of Cavalry Vessels which, in consequence of being so much exposed, were cut off by the Riflemen of the enemy, and which, at length, prevented our sending any horsemen to reconnoitre, has suggested an idea, which, whilst it affords to the Service the material benefits resulting from observation and expeditions report. The Cavalry horses of some regiments have already been taught to lie down
on a signal, and to rise, with or without their riders by which means bush, wall, or inequality of ground which formerly would not even conceal even the legs of the horse, will now protect both him and the soldier from the view of an enemy; added to which the animal is not only better rested whilst in this position, but when accustomed to it, feeds with infinite more ease than when his oat bag stands suspended from his head. The Ayrshire Fencible Cavalry, in particular, practise this method, which Sir W. Howe is rendering general at helmetsford, and throughout his district. [Lon. Observ.]

FROM SURINAM.
Hospital Island, August 8. MR. RUSSELL, Enclosed you have the latest information from Surinam, I am, Sir, yours T. W. Brig Fitzwilliam, Dollyver, 27 days from Surinam. Passenger, Mr. Thomas Williamson.
Captain M'Neil, of the United States ship Portsmouth, had arrived at Surinam, in 23 days, but was prevented going up the river by a small party who went out and gave him information of a 20 gun French ship that lies at Surinam; she has taken several valuable prizes, among which is a ship from Ireland bound to Jamaica, loaded with provisions and Irish linens—the schr. Chance, from Stratford, loaded with stores, bound to Demerara—the stores condemned—vessel given up. In consequence of the above information, Captain M'Neil has come to anchor near Brandt Point, and has sent all his spare masts, cables, &c. to Surinam, and every thing is prepared to give the Frenchmen a drubbing.—The privateer has a considerable sum of money on board, and was expected to sail in 3 days. There is a other French ship in Cayenne, nearly ready for sea. Captain M'Neil will take good care of them—whose officers and crew were in high spirits. Previous to Capt. M'Neil's arrival several American vessels had been taken by the French, and the Captains and Supercargoes set on shore; among which is Mr. Bangs, from Boston; the schr. John, Luskin, of Cape Ann, was ransomed for 5,000 dollars.

WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) THE BIVIAD AND MÆVIAD. 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 Gen- tlemen 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 amuse- ment 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 advan- tage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle , which is prefixed to it, and which must be ex- tremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Ameri- cans 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. Sam- eville, Maiden Lane, New York, also to Mr. Hill, Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charlestown. Copies will be sent to Bifton and other places, as soon as the season will permit. may 28

TREASURY DEPARTMENT. June 27, 1798. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That by vir- tue of an act, passed during the present ses- sion of Congress, for much of the act entitled "An Act making further provision for the sup- port of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," passed the third day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety- five, as bars from settlement or allowance.

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, Spring- field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populou- ness of the country through which it pas- ses, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswicks, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Thor- ough-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 general miles shorter than the old road, but this is amongst the least of its advantages, because daily expe- rience proves to us, that dispatch as well as com- fort in travelling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country, and, in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It prevents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The soil, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstances, added to the beauty of the country, and a con- siderable proportion of shade, must always ren- der travelling in the latter season peculiarly a- greable.
The Swift-Sure starts from PHILADEL- PHIA, 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 Pennypack, to dinner; from Pennypack through Hopewell, Millstone, Boundbrook, Quibbletown and Plainfield to Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it stops at Springfield to breakfast, from whence it goes through Newark and arrives at New- York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For seats at New-York, application may be made to Ed- ward Bardin, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtlandt, 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 them- selves to make good every package on the fol- lowing conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office shall see it entered in the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then state the value of the pack- age, 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 pro- portion 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 respon- sible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insur- ance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and ta- verns 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 com- mitted to the care of intelligent and oblig- ing drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns, and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the per- sons 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 form of chican- ery or insolence 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, dur- ing which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Every passenger has found the road to surpass very far all that has been said of its excellence; and the proprietors of the Swift- Sure are extremely happy to hear the behaviour of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns spoken of with the highest satisfaction.
At a meeting of the visitors and governors of St. John's college in the State of Maryland, 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 Eng- lish and Grammar, who shall receive, for his ser- vices, at the rate of £200 per annum, to be paid quarterly; and that public notice thereof be given. Sec. &c. &c. A. C. HANSON. Clerk.
N.B. The office aforesaid has just become va- cant, by the resignation of a gentleman, whose affairs require, the immediate undertaking of a voyage by sea. It is the duty of the said Professor (to whom is shown an assistant) to teach the English language grammatically, and to prepare students for a supe- rior school, by teaching them the Latin grammar, the Vocabulary, and Cordery. Writing is to be taught to all his scholars at stated hours; and to those students who are not destined for the inferior branches of science, the Latin language, and other branches of science actually taught in English schools —A complete knowledge then of Latin, Arith- metic, &c. is considered indispensable in the profes- sor; and it is expected, that candidates who are not known to the Board, will submit to an exami- nation, as well as produce satisfactory testimonials of their good morals, and fair characters. The Printers within the United States are re- quested 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.
