In Carver—for Slitting, Plating, and Rolling MILLS. SEYMOUR'S Patent Rollers. THEIR superiority consists in being free from holes and honey-combed places, which are commonly found in rollers cast in sand, or clay moulds. These patent rollers are cast in iron moulds, previously heated, and will be found to be more durable, solid and durable than any rollers heretofore used. Another important advantage they have over others, is, that the necks require no turning, but are immediately fit for use, and from their accuracy, run with less friction, and require less water to make them perform their work. They may be had by application to the Patentee in Plymouth, of Gen. Nathaniel Goodwin, or of Messrs. Thatcher and Hayward. Boston, Aug. 31. Sept. 19.—dtf

AMIDST the tide of modern Romances, panning
tales of extraordinary distress, or of desperate or artful villainy, which "harrow up the soul," and which it would be for the honor of young ladies to be ignorant of, this little book comes forward to correct notice, where, in a variety of incidents, not exceeding the bounds of real life, the proper, because elegant and natural dignity and importance of the Female character is exhibited in an interesting point of view, and presents examples of real and attainable excellence. The publisher was so much pleased with the perusal, that he was persuaded he should do a pleasing service to the community by funding it in a circuit.

To the Freeholders and others, inhabitants of Philadelphia; the respectful address of the subscribers.
Fellow-Citizens, WHILEST our city was almost depopulated by the absence of the greater part of the citizens in consequence of the late prevailing epidemic...
The subscribers, under these impressions, voluntarily enrolled themselves under the authority and direction of the mayor of the city...
Signed for and in behalf of the patrols by HENRY DEFOREST, capt. Philadelphia, Oct. 26, 1797.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES. MR. FENNO,
WHILE I profess myself one of the warmest admirers of the political pamphlets of Mr. Cobbett, I cannot but express my concern at some of the sentiments of this editor...
If he thinks the interest of his country requires nothing less than the destruction of the republican system, he has certainly too much delicacy and understanding...
While Mr. Cobbett directs his artillery against jacobinical hypocrisy, and its detestable cant, he is engaged in a cause which every honest and enlightened man must approve...
we are to look for its authors, to the other side of the water: And let him remember, that its principles were advocated by Mr. Burke...

LONDON, August 26. Yesterday morning we received the Paris papers of the 12th and 22nd inst. They are principally filled with the report of Thibaudeau to the Council of Five Hundred...
The reporters of both councils declare their astonishment and indignation that the Directory has not taken any measures, or published any proclamation, for the purpose of censuring these addresses...
As the directory had indirectly reproached the legislative body with having thrown some obstacles in the progress of peace, the reports of both commissions observe...
The commission of the council of Five Hundred, however declares its readiness to cast a veil over the orders, in obedience to which the troops directed their march towards Paris...
While the legislative body was engaged in these considerations, the directory sent a new message to the council of five hundred, relative to the exhausted state of the finances...
Gen. Gentil, who now commands in Corsica, is the same who surrendered Bastia, and the remainder of that island to Lord Hood, in 1794.
The Hon. Mrs. Grattan, sister to Lord Viscount Falkland, has opened a Milliner's shop in Philadelphia. About three months ago she gave a concert, at which almost every person of consequence appeared.
A suggestion is given in some of the last Paris papers, that Buonaparte, immediately on the demise of the pope, means himself to assume the Tiara...
Several men, as well as women, have lately thought it prudent to retire from prudent to retire from Paris, in order to avoid the scenes it is soon likely to exhibit.
Privatizing was never at such a height as at present at Rochelle. A letter from that place says, almost every tradesman, even milliners, are concerned in some outfit or other.
The sovereign people of Holland having rejected the project of the constitution framed by their representatives, the "Quotidienne" observes on this head, that this accident might have been avoided if the Batavian legislators, in imitation of the French, had caused the constitution to be accepted by the army...
tions of the Leith assembly rooms, which Mr. A. drew up some years ago; one of which is, that "no person shall enter the rooms with dirty feet."
A Ministerialist, who has been at the expense of a pamphlet against Paine's system, elegantly draws the conclusion, that if adopted, "We might see lord Thurlow ascending a scaffold with a bricklayer's hod; the Chancellor of the Exchequer following a drove of hogs; and the Bishop of Rochester crying Hot Mutton Pies."
The literature of French politics appears to have gone into new hands. The bill sellers are now the principal publishers, and a writer answers his antagonist by covering his works with his own.
The ruling passion strong in Death.—The late Mr. Brommore, when dying, borrowed a guinea for his physician's fee, though he had 55 guineas in gold, and took in notes in a waistcoat pocket when he died...
The Miroir states to have received from a most respectable quarter the following particulars relative to the subject of peace:—
The imperial envoy demanded of the directory a categorical answer, and declared, by order of his majesty, that he would find himself obliged to recommence hostilities, if Mantua was not restored to the house of Austria.
This firm and intrepid conduct intimidated Barras and Rewbel; the resolution was repealed, and the treaty of peace was signed.
PARIS, August 22. There is a letter in circulation from Buonaparte, in which he artfully praises the armies on the Rhine, with the view, no doubt, of winning them to the interests of himself and the directory.
The Censeur assures us that the Sancy, a diamond which Louis XVI. used to wear in his hat on days of great ceremony, after having passed through several profane hands, has at last fallen into the hands of Louis XVIII.
Letters from the Hague mention, that the Texel fleet, very far from firing out, is going to be dismantled. A part of the troops have already been disembarked.
Commerce is again beginning to raise her head in the different departments. The fairs of Guibray, St. Quentin, Lisieux, and Valenciennes, have been advertised in the newspapers, and are to be held as usual.
Paris has been remarkably quiet to-day, nor have the bills posted on the walls been more numerous or virulent as yesterday and the day before. The most remarkable (and indeed the only one) that I have been able to discern, were the process verbal of the 10th of August by the army of the Sambre and Meuse...
Several aristocratical papers seem to have been acquainted beforehand, with the substance of Thibaudeau's report, as they have already retracted their assertions against Gen. Angereau...
A royalist writer in Paris says, that all the propagators of Slaves and public entertainments complain, that the Turkish Ambassador went to the Directory's Opera first.
PARIS, Aug. 25. The placards begin to appear. This morning three new ones were posted up with the greatest profusion. The first entitled "Gard aux Boutiques;" "Take care of your shops," assures us that the Jacobins, Anarchists, &c. are to plunder the shops of Paris...
The law for the organization of the national guard has at length been published. It had been sealed twenty-four hours ago, and that it had not been sooner promulgated is the fault of the ministers.
The majority of the committee, from which Thibaudeau made his report, had drawn up a resolution, proposing that Paris, being within the constitutional circle, formed no part of the territory comprised in the 17th Military Division...
Dumolard, in making an eulogium on the intention of Jourdan, did not interpret the phrase in the same manner, he gave it a more simple interpretation, and he acknowledged, that to a certain degree Ramel was wrong, but he must not be accused without proof.
The council ordered the discourse of Jourdan to be printed, and to be sent to a committee of inspectors.
During the cessation of hostilities, between the Republic and Austria, our troops distinguished themselves in a petty war against the smugglers who are employed to introduce the English merchandise.
An aerostatic experiment yesterday attracted the fashionable world, and nearly all the world, to the Garden de Biron. A Jacobin physician, named Garenin, was to have raised himself by a balloon...
The event justified the pleasantries—the balloon failed to rise, and M. Garenin jumped easily from his boat, without the aid of a parachute.

A citizen employed in the office of the minister of justice, Merlin, complained of his having been turned out of his employment because he wore a black collar...
Boissy D'Anglas rose on a motion of order. He declared against those mercenary writers whose sheets preached up the overthrow of the constitution. He said, they resembled those animals whose excellence is a reproach to nature.
Coupe demanded the order of the day, because there already existed a committee charged to investigate this affair.
Dumolard supported the proposition of Boissy, distinguishing a communication from a Placard; the former of these relates only to private persons; the latter is a real proclamation.
Lehardy demanded the order on all the propositions; he cited the article of the constitution which requires that no one should be prevented from publishing his opinion.
After a short discussion, the Council ordered it to be sent to a committee, competent to inquire into the propositions of Boissy.
Gilbert Desmoliers, in the name of a committee of finance, caused a project to be adopted, fixing the personal contribution for the department of the Seine to be at 7,795,456 livres.
Jourdan (General) in a motion of order, denounced to the council, a letter, which the commandant of the guard of the legislative body, Ramel, had caused to be printed.
"I owe it to my place—I owe it to the brave grenadiers whom I have the honour to command, to explain to you my sentiments, and their principles. Intrigue is on every side to make us party-men, when we have all sworn to defend, and to die for the constitution of the 3d year...
Jourdan maintained, that this phrase signified an apprehension that there were men in existence who wanted the constitution overthrew the constitution. He demanded that it be sent to the committee of inspectors, to examine into the motives which gave rise to it.
Dumolard, in making an eulogium on the intention of Jourdan, did not interpret the phrase in the same manner, he gave it a more simple interpretation, and he acknowledged, that to a certain degree Ramel was wrong, but he must not be accused without proof.

From the Desk of BERT HESDIN. Hear; for I will speak of excellent things. The man must be a limping, indeed, who will not listen.
Is it not Wisdom, who crieth—and Understanding that putteth forth her voice? Bert Hesdin tells you—she is this very moment on the top of high places; calling aloud to the crazy politician, stupid state's man, weeping speculator, broken merchant, ragged spendthrift, and groaning debauchee...
What a generous soul! And will ye not turn in, ye wavering fools; but still push on, heels over head, in pursuit of lands in the moon, and the shadow of phantoms? Do glittering bubbles still deceive him that travelleth at noon-day?
Come in then, ye, who lack understanding; whose brains are like a reed shaken by the wind, and your repast shall be as the manna of heaven, which will ennoble human nature, and restore man to the likenesses of the Deity;—your drink will be wine drawn from the fountain of perfection, and pressed from grapes plucked in the garden of paradise...
By the spirit of Insanity!—they have all passed by on the other side, as if some infernal fiend was seeking to devour them; except a few poor wretches without a shirt to their backs; and a miserable gray-headed Jew, who is limping to the grave with a large pack of fins and spoilt wares on his back.
While John is hunting for the Almanac, we will just inform those poor shirtless wretches, that Wisdom hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath furnished her table, and made all things ready to receive you.
Hast thou but two-pence in this world—carefully tie up one penny in the rag of prudence, and make the other go as far as you can. So shalt thou prosper in the days of scarcity and ill-health.
Have thy garments waxed old, and do the chill winds drive through thy shattered tenement? Calculate how much is in thy purse, and how much thou owest. Pay thy debts, then lay by something for tomorrow...
Art thou a lone man? and thinkest thou that two are better than one? Then let thine eyes be attracted by her, who throweth the shuttle; who seeketh wool and flax and worketh willingly with her hands.
Perhaps thou art fond of high life; takest pleasure in dress and equipage; delightest in the rattling of china and decanters; hast an ear for deuce, ace, and the thrum of a fiddle? Then get thee into the highways of the city; contract large debts with dealers in trinkets; neglect the payment of thy tailor's, butcher's, servant's and all other bills—except gambling.

LONDON, August 12.
Execution of three Mutineers of the Saturn. Plymouth-Dock, Aug. 21. This morning at six o'clock a gun was fired from the flag ship, the Cambridge, in Hamoaze, and the Saturn in the Sound, and the yellow flag hoisted on board each of them; two boats from every ship in the Sound and harbour, with a lieutenant of the navy, and guard of marines, assembled along side of the Saturn about seven; when the following unhappy men were sent from her into the admiral's launch, viz. Geo. Perry and John Farrell, seamen, and Thomas Kenyon marine, and conveyed on board the Saturn, where they remained in fervent prayer till about 20 minutes before twelve o'clock, when the fatal gun fired, and they were launched into eternity: they behaved with great penitence and composure, and begged to shake hands with capt. Douglas, which he complied with in the most feeling manner. The ship's company of the Saturn were very much affected at the awful ceremony; the bodies after having hung the usual time, were taken down and conveyed in coffins to the naval burying ground for interment: James Dixon, seaman, and John Evans, corporal of marines, sentenced to be hung in chains, were not executed at the time, as it is reported the sentence remains for the opinion of the twelve judges, whether the martial law extends as far as hanging them in chains.
STATE PAPER.
The disputes between Austria and Prussia upon the subject of the seizure of the city of Nuremberg not being yet finished, it may be gratifying to know the opinion of his Britannic majesty, in his quality of co-estate of the empire, upon the cause of this dispute.
Letter of his majesty the king of Great-Britain, to his majesty the Emperor.
"The letter which your majesty has been pleased to write me, of the 7th September last year, relative to the occupation of the Imperial city of Nuremberg, the dependencies of the bishopric of Eichstadt, and of the equestrian order in Franconia, I consider as a precious monument of the sentiments of justice and paternal solicitude, by which your majesty has evinced how much you have at heart the preservation of the constitution of the empire, and the exact observation of its capitulation of election, a circumstance that must contribute to your highest honor. I received this letter with a sentiment of respect equal to the gratitude which the gracious confidence of which your majesty thus gave me a proof had inspired; accordingly I felt myself called upon to bestow my most serious attention upon the object there mentioned, and to weigh it with the most lively interest. "Your majesty is perfectly acquainted with the sentiments which I entertain with regard to the support of the system of the empire, and the consideration due to its laws, as well as the invariable dispositions by which I am led constantly to contribute to that object every exertion in my power. I could not overlook the importance and extensive consequences of the event in question, and I cannot but applaud the dignified wisdom of the measures which your majesty has adopted. Your majesty has expressed a desire to know my opinion and my thoughts upon this subject, and requested my intervention with the king of Prussia. I am persuaded in fact, that the electors of the Empire, now with his Prussian majesty, in the present circumstances, pursue the course that is most proper, since full of confidence in the sentiments and mode of thinking of this Prince, they have good reason to conclude that his said majesty will leave justice its free course, and will prefer to every thing the maintenance of the lawful possessors in the enjoyments of their rights. I am convinced therefore, that I comply with your Imperial Majesty's intentions in sending to his majesty the king of Prussia the letter, a copy of which I do not hesitate to annex. Nothing can be more agreeable to me than to have it in my power to demonstrate upon every occasion to your imperial majesty the entire and sincere confidence which I repose in you, and thus to testify the high regard with which I constantly am, &c."
(Signed) "GEORGE REX."
St. James's, Feb. 7, 1797. [The letter from his Britannic Majesty to the King of Prussia will be given to-morrow.]
August 24.
By the Hamburg mail, arrived this morning, bringing accounts from Vienna, down to the 5th, it appears, that the rumors of the signing of the definitive treaty of peace, are entirely void of foundation. The marquis de Gallo's secretary had been sent to Udino; but the marquis himself was still at Vienna.
An article from Mentz, of the 11th, says, the Austrian army was never upon a more respectable footing; many regiments are above their complement, and several of the battalions are arrived from the hereditary estates. Ten thousand of the new levies in Hungary are also expected, and the redoubts lately constructed about Ulm, may be looked upon as so many citadels.
The Paris papers which arrived yesterday, contain no information on the subject of the negotiations at Lisle, and with respect to those of Udino, nothing certain appears to have yet transpired; some of the papers assert, that the report of the conclusion of a definitive treaty of peace between the emperor and the French directory is premature; while others say, that the directory have received intelligence of that important event having taken place.
The report respecting the cession of Mantua to the emperor, is contradicted. The vigorous military preparations now making, both by France and Austria, diminish the hopes which were generally entertained of an approaching peace.
It also appears, by various accounts from Italy, that the progress of the negotiation on both sides is intimately connected with the present transactions in the interior of France.
The terms of the treaty concluded with Portugal have been ratified by the legislative councils. The committees appointed to examine this treaty are stated to have had an interview with Talleyrand Perigord, the minister for foreign affairs, before they made their report, in the course of which they expressed their surprise to him at the peace with Portugal having preceded that with Great Britain. The minister is said to have answered, that it was in pursuance of the system adopted by the directory to detach England from the other coalesced powers; but that notwithstanding the difficulties which he had to surmount, he did not doubt of being able to treat definitively with that power.
We are still in the dark as to the articles of this treaty with Portugal. Though it was confirmed by the councils, it was in close assembly.
Letters received yesterday by a capital house in the city, state, that a great part of the Spanish army, which occupied the lines of St. Roche, and the encampment at Algeziras, had marched for Cadiz, to protect that city and the arsenal from the assaults of the English fleet.
The same letters state, that the English fleet had taken a new and advantageous position at the offing of the harbour of Cadiz.
A packet from the admiralty has been sent over lately, by a flag of truce, to the present administration for the affairs of the United Provinces of Holland, announcing, that if the Dutch privateers, who are indeed little better than piratical marauders, are not immediately recalled, the Dutch fishing boats, and other vessels concerned in the lesser channels of traffic between the two countries, will be immediately prohibited in all the ports of the British dominions.
NEW-YORK, October 26.
A company of artillery, under the command of lieutenant Marshellack, failed yesterday morning, for N. Brunswick, on their route to Pittsburgh, from whence it is expected they will descend the Ohio to Fort Massac.
BOSTON, October 20.
MILITARY EXHIBITION.
It is with pleasure we embrace opportunities of engaging the attention of our readers to the military spirit and activity, which now, in a flattering manner, pervades our state. We wish to preserve the fire of emulation, which is lighted in many breasts; and afford those just tributes of praise to the deserving, which shall convince them that their merit is discerned, and the public gratitude excited. Pacific as we are, soldiers are necessary to us, in the present state of the world; when alternately the ambition of kings, and the repacity of demagogues, threaten our Israel. Soldiers, who, from interest and principle, are resolved to obey and protect the constituted authorities of our country.
At Lynn, on the 11th inst. at 9 o'clock A. M. the fifth regiment, of 1st brigade, 2d division, paraded, under the command of col. Burnham, and was reviewed by maj. gen. Abbot, accompanied by other officers of the division, and gentlemen of respectability. The exercises were executed with veteran precision. The evolutions performed in a regular and exact manner. The arms and accoutrements were complete, and in excellent order. After the forenoon duty was over, the officers partook of an elegant entertainment prepared for the occasion. At 3 o'clock, afternoon, the drum beat again to arms and a fresh variety of military manoeuvres, which established the character of the officers for military genius and knowledge of discipline, were exhibited. About dark the soldiers were dismissed from the parade, divested themselves of their military habit, resumed the civic garb, and retired to their happy mansions; which God send they may long enjoy without the necessity of using their muskets, or wielding their swords to repel envious assailants.
Capt. Trot, from Liverpool, in long. 10, fell in with ship Union, 25 days from hence bound for Amsterdam, on board of which was the Hon. ELBRIDGE GERRY, one of the envoys extraordinary for adjusting our differences with the French Republic, from whom captain T. received letters for his family and friends.
MILITARY.
Yesterday the Independent Cadet Company paraded to commemorate the capture of Cornwallis's army by the brave WASHINGTON, in conjunction with the officers of the King of France. The exercises, firings and evolutions, were such as ever distinguished this respectable corps—truly excellent.
The services of the Quincy Independent Company have been patriotically tendered towards completing the 8000 Minute Men ordered by Congress.
On the 26th ult. when we announced the failure of the second effort to launch the frigate Constitution, we stated, that further attempt to launch her was deferred to about the 19th of October. The correctness of this information, we have reason to suppose will be soon verified. It is not doubted but the frigate will be launched this week.
The following circumstance, strongly indicative of the delicacy of the age in which we live, took place in the Green Park on Sunday last. A sudden puff of wind blew off a lady's bonnet, but the fair one, aware of the impropriety of appearing bare-headed in public, immediately removed the handkerchief which covered her neck, and adjusted it to her head by way of turban. —Old Q. felt himself much pleased at the prospect. (Eng. Paper.)
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENTS.
On the 7th inst. Capt. King who had previously failed from Welfleet for Penobscot, stopped at Billings Gate Point, to take on board ballast. Unfortunately in his eagerness to complete the business he overloaded the Moses boat, with which they were transporting the ballast to the vessel, and after getting a short distance from the shore, the boat filled and sank, by which accident Capt. King, Messrs Brown, Ward, Smith, and Son, and a person belonging to Penobscot, were drowned. A woman passenger, who was witness to the distressing sight was alone on board the vessel till the next day, when the long continuance of the vessel, exciting notice, a boat came to her, and the Female was taken on board.
MILITARY EXERCISE.
A Military correspondent has given to the public the following account of the military exercises of the following corps, and outward squads: viz
Russia, Sweden, & Denmark, "Rise arms."
Emperor of Germany, "Ha'cock firelock."
King of Prussia, "Inwards face."
France, "Level well."
Spain, "Look at the Royal."
Venice, Genoa, &c. "Form four deep."
Batavia, "Diplomat."
Great-Britain & Ireland, "On the right, form close column."
Ireland, "Secure arms."
Fleet at the Nore, "As you were."
Loyalists, "Steady."
Sir P. B., & Mr. Sturt, "Shutpans."
Delegates, "Quick march."
Democrats, "Halt, &c. &c."
PITTSBURG, October 22.
It is reported, with a view to injure my interest, that I refused to make a publication in the Pittsburg Gazette for Mr. Lucas previous to our late election. I think proper to state the only conversation I had with Mr. Lucas on the subject, which I believe will convince every candid person that the charge is groundless.
On Monday week preceding the election, Mr. Lucas called and informed me, that he wished to make a publication in Saturday's paper—I replied, that the paper was greatly taken up with a long letter from Mr. Pickering, Secretary of State, to the Spanish minister, and that he must make his piece short—I mentioned a half column or thereabouts for it. Mr. Lucas then left me, saying he would bring it on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, and I promised to give it a place—From that time until Wednesday last, which is two weeks after the time that he was to bring his piece, I never seen him, and how I could refuse his publication, I am at a loss to know.
That, as an Elector of Allegheny county, I opposed Mr. Lucas's re-election to the assembly, is true—that I will oppose him, whenever any candidate offers that I think better qualified, is equally certain—and although it is my earnest wish, and has always been my study, to conduct my paper with impartiality, yet I glory in exercising, independently, any right as an American citizen, that I am entitled to.

WILMINGTON, (N. C.) October 12.
A gentleman who arrived in town on Sunday last from New-Providence, via the Savannah, has favored the Printer with the following information—on the authenticity of which he places the greatest confidence. That on the 20th of August, the day he left Pensacola, he saw an official letter from Baron de Carondelet to a gentleman in office there, acquainting him of his having received by the last courier from the Havana, orders from his court, to put into full execution, the treaty between Spain and the United States of America; for which purpose he had forwarded dispatches to the commandants of the forts on the Mississippi, to deliver up the posts and evacuate the fortifications with all convenient dispatch:—That by the same courier, governor Gayoso's appointment to the Governor-generalship in the Floridas and Louisiana, had arrived; and that previous to his closing that letter, governor Gayoso had reached the capital and was about to enter on the duties of his office. Baron de Carondelet was to leave New Orleans on the 16th of September.
ber, for Quito on the Spanish Main, on board of a frigate which was then fitting for his reception. On Sunday last arrived here, Mr. William Swanson, one of the crew of the brig Hull Packet, belonging to this port, which foundered at sea on the 8th ult. between Cape Fear and Charleston. She was from Falmouth in England bound home; on the 7th, about 2 degrees from the land sprung a leak, in a gale of wind from N. E. and the next day went to pieces: two of the crew perished immediately; the remainder, consisting of the captain, first mate, a sailor and a Portuguese lad, got on a rafts, on which the captain lived but three days, the boy had his leg cut off by a shark and expired soon after. The two surviving men, the first mate and Mr. Swanson, remained in this dreadful situation five days, without anything to eat or drink, when they were picked up by a vessel from Jamaica bound to London, which a few days after met with a ship from London bound to Charleston, and in her procured a passage.

Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Shippenburg and Sunbury STAGES. THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time sub- sisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved; but, not as M. Slough intimates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the sub- ject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 19th December last, a recital of which is not now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching him- self to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippen- burg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witmer, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, at- tention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the pub- lic can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippenburg. The fare as hitherto established. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Pa- bury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Mon- days.
WILLIAM GEER. Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797. N. B. This line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferris, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, pro- ceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder in Harrisburg every Wednes- day morning, on the same evening arrives at Pa- bury Cochran's in Shippenburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday; performing the same routine daily as in its tour from Philadel- phia.

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