TO THE PATRONAGE OF A liberal and enlightened Community IS SUBMITTED THE PROSPECTUS OF A New Daily Paper, TO BE PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE OF THE OBSERVER, AND Daily Repository of useful Information. IT will doubtless be deemed a hazardous undertaking to present to the public eye proposals for a new Gazette, when so many are already in possession of the public patronage. News-papers so much more generally diffused throughout America than perhaps any other portion of the globe, may become either engines of mischief or the implements of usefulness—they disseminate good, or scatter poison, among thousands; and although it may be presumptuous in the Editor of that now proposed to expect that its utility will be great, yet he may be admitted to declare, that it shall not willingly be made the means of doing evil. His endeavors will be applied to render The Observer in some degree conducive to the attainment of knowledge as well as to the communication of news—to enlighten the understanding—to improve the morals—to beget, or to confirm, a reverence for the sacred principles of Christianity. For this purpose it is intended— To furnish the most recent foreign and domestic intelligence; To give useful Prices Current at home and abroad, and other commercial information; To select from literary productions such portions as may gratify taste and induce improvement; To unfold and enforce sound and just views of government; To aid the great interests of piety and morality. To present occasionally— Improvements in the arts and sciences—in agriculture and domestic economy; Proceedings of the General and State Legislatures; Reports of the Heads of Departments, and of interesting cases adjudged in the several courts of the United States, &c. Reviews of foreign and domestic literature; Anecdotes and characters of distinguished persons; Statistical tables; Meteorological observations; Appointments; Marriages, Births, Deaths. With these proposals the subscriber confidently submits himself to the public. He is well aware of the importance and magnitude of the undertaking. Solicitous for the fate of his native land, and viewing with anxious fears and hopes the success of a government created by the joint exertions of wisdom and virtue, and concluded with sound policy and genuine patriotism, he feels himself sincerely interested in promoting such measures and principles as he believes essential to public happiness and national prosperity.
CONDITIONS.
I. The Observer will be printed with a neat type, and on paper of equal size and quality with the present Philadelphia daily papers. II. It shall be published every evening, and regularly sent to the houses of the city subscribers—To others it will be forwarded according to their respective instructions. III. The price will be Eight Dollars per annum to those who reside in the city—and Nine Dollars to all others. The additional dollar is to defray the expense of enclosing and directing their papers. IV. One half of the price to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the other half at the expiration of twelve months from the publication of the first number. The succeeding payments to be half yearly. V. Advertisements that do not exceed in length the breadth of the column will be 67 cents for the first, and 33 cents for every additional insertion. Those of greater length will be charged in the same proportion. ZACHARIAH POULSON, jun. March 3, 1800. smwf

WATER-OFFICE. Centre Square, February 5, 1800. IN compliance with the instructions of the Committee for watering the city, and with my own inclinations, every possible admittance and information has been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during their progress. The Engines are now arrived, and are immediately to be put up, and it is hoped that it will be thought reasonable and just, both to the Public, and to the Contractor for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the curiosity of the citizens, by shewing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary exclusion of all visitors from the Engine houses cannot appear improper.

Eighty Dollars Reward. RAN-AWAY from the Subscriber, at New-town, Chester Ferry, Queen Anne's county, state of Maryland, the following negroes, viz. a woman named Nanny, went away on the 23d January, 1799, and took with her a Mulatto female child, about two years old, named Arianna. Nanny is a dark yellow negro, about five feet four or five inches high, remarkably handsome for a negro. Her clothing unknown as she took a variety of good cloaths with her—she went off with a negro fellow, named Peter, and calls herself Peter Simpson, he is the property of a certain William Bowers of Talbot county, state as above, who has advertised one hundred dollars reward for him. Peter is a stout well made yellow fellow, about 6 feet one inch high, is a tolerable good Carpenter. Nanny passes for his wife, but her real husband is named Bob, who belongs to her master. It is probable they are in the neighbourhood of Salem in the Jerseys, as they were there in October last, and by information, Peter had built himself an house to live in, between Rum Bridge and Gold Town; it is likely they may have changed their names and may have passed, as Peter can write a middling hand; it is probable Nanny has another child, as it was thought she was in a pregnant state when she went away. The noted Ferry-man Charles, who calls himself Charles Rodney; he went off on the 18th of February last, he is a dark mulatto, about five feet eight or nine inches high, about forty years old, stoops in his shoulders when he walks, a fear on his head very perceptible—he took with him a small bay mare about 4 or 5 years old, her mane trimmed and bob tail'd; his clothing unknown, as he carried off a variety of cloaths; it is probable he has changed his name, as he is a very artful, sensible fellow, he can read tolerably well; it is likely he may hire himself to drive a waggons, being well acquainted with that business, driving for the army during the war; he also perhaps may have a pass. The above reward will be given for the aforesaid two negroes, viz. Nanny and Charles, if taken out of the state, or twenty dollars for Nanny and child, if taken in this state, & 20 do. Charles if taken in this state and secured in jail, so as I may get them again. If brought home all reasonable charges shall be paid by me. JOHN QUIMBY. March 3. w&fa4w.

A SEASONABLE ARTICLE.
JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A SOVEREIGN REMEDY. For Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthma, Sore-throats, and approaching Consumption.
THOUSANDS are too well acquainted with the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above complaints; dear bought experience has taught them that oily and heating medicines joined with strong opiates (for sleepy drugs) repeated doses of which, flatter and deceive the patient for the present, by procuring momentary ease; experience, I say, has taught thousands that the common opiates and balsams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs in their most distressing symptoms; that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing, and excite fever. But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects. A SINGLE TRIAL WILL PROVE that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common, healthful perspiration; that it dilodges and evacuates the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, frees them from the acrimonious humours which irritate the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course, effectually and permanently conquered, the reverie of common medicines, which weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present, some of its painful effects.

CURE OF CORNS.

It is therefore recommended with confidence to every person so afflicted, as an efficacious and certain cure. Prepared only by the inventor and sole proprietor, Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, 137 Front Street, near the Fly market, New York; and sold by Messrs. H. and P.

FOR Nervous Disorders, Female Complaints,
Gout in the Stomach, Melancholy, Seminal Weakness, loss of Appetite, Bilious Disorders, Inward Weakness, Indigestion, Obsolete Glets, Juvenile Indiscretions and Premature Old Age, and every other symptom of extreme debility, which are the consequences of a Diffipated Life—excess of Pleasure or Grief—Heat or change of Climate—Immoderate use of Tea, Spirituous Liquor, or any Intemperance—Bad Lymmes in Dislocated Joints or to Young Girls and Women at a certain period of life— The Cordial Restorative Balsam Is recommended as a Medicine of specific and unparalleled virtues for the immediate relief and speedy and permanent cure of the above disorders, having stood a trial of many successful years, during which period many thousands of both sexes have been restored from the brink of the grave. This Balsam is particularly adapted to weak female constitutions, as well as to phlegmatic habits in general; it acts powerfully as a nerve, not only to the weak stomach, but to the whole nervous system. It corrects a vitiated appetite and digestion in the first passages, and assists wonderfully in recovering the tone of the urinary and genital organs. Hence its efficacy in the most obstinate feminal glets in men, and corresponding weakness in women; and hence it will contribute more safely, surely and honourably towards conjugal happiness, than any of those irritating, diabolical compositions, which are so shamefully administered to the unhappy.
