THAT very valuable FARM and PLANTATION, lying on the Long Marsh in Queen Anne's county, state of Maryland, containing about five hundred acres, about fifteen miles from Chester town, six from Church hill, and twelve from the head of Chester. This property is an object of very great speculation, particularly to any person in the grazing line, and in fact to any person wishing to sell their money in lands. There is a very large proportion of laid farm laid down in timothy, and with cut grass sufficient, I doubt not, to pay a net profit of 50 dollars a-year. There are also about twenty acres more cleared, and fit to lay down in grass; and what renders it more valuable is, that when once the timothy is well set, it will last any person's life time. And what is called the bed of the Marsh, (of which there is a considerable part belonging to this farm) the soil is from four to six feet deep, of a black rich loam, and will average from two and an half to three tons of timothy an acre; and for two years past all the hay which could be spared from the farm, has sold at the rate of five pounds a ton. It is a very desirable farm for wheat, rye, Indian corn, and particularly for what is called kite-foot or bright tobacco; it is well timbered, and contains maple swamps, that when cleared, will make meadows equal to any on the farm.
Any person wishing to purchase, can view the premises on application to Mr. Stephen Forman, on said farm. The conditions of sale will be, one half the purchase money on the first day of January next, and the remainder on the last day of May following. WILLIAM G. FORMAN, Surviving Executor. Sept. 17, 1799. 2awt250.

To BOTANISTS, GARDENERS and FLORISTS.
AND to all other ladies and gentlemen, curious in ornamental, rare exotic or foreign plants and flowers, cultivated in the green-house, hot-house, or stove, and in the open ground—A large and numerous variety of such rarities is now offered for sale, being the acquisition of many years earnest application, great assiduity, and considerable expense.
The present proprietor having, from the natural growth and successful increase of his plants, as well as from frequent other acquisitions and additions to his collection, so far increased it as to render the allotted apartments not sufficiently large and commodious, is induced to make this offer, or sacrifice. After reserving a general and suitable stock, he has to spare a well assorted and great variety of those things, comprising a beautiful collection, sufficient to decorate, furnish, and ornament a spacious or handsome greenhouse at once. The whole collection, for that department, will be sold in very moderate and easy terms; or the proprietor may be induced to divide it into two equal lots; but he does not on any account intend to allow them to be selected or culled out by separate selling single plants or small lots in any thing like a retail way.
The whole is a truly valuable collection, such as is very rarely to be met with for sale on this side the Atlantic—indeed a moiety of them would comprise a very desirable and extensive variety, consisting of many or most of the tropical fruits, and other rare and curious finely ornamental trees, shrubs, and plants, with a numerous and abundant assortment of choice bulbous, tuberous, and fibrous rooted flowering and ornamental plants in mixtures; all of good or superior kinds, as may be seen by the catalogue. For which, and for any further necessary information, please to apply to John Cummings, at the Almshouse, Messrs. David and Cuthbert Landreth, gardeners and nursery-men, in High-street, above Twelfth-street, Philadelphia, Mr. William Booth, in the same line of business, Baltimore, or Mr. David Williamson, Greenwich-street, New-York.
N. B. It is now a good time and proper season to build a greenhouse, and to remove plants.

LOTS,
suitable for building on, being the South square 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 wharf 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 malignant Fever 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 fast 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.

WESTMORELAND MEETING.
SEPTEMBER TERM.
The grand jury of the county of Westmoreland, taking into their serious consideration the great importance of electing a suitable character to the office of governor of Pennsylvania, and observing with regret the means which have industriously been taken for party purposes to misrepresent the character of one of the candidates for that office, in a moral and religious point of view, have thought it not improper, with deference and respect, to acquaint their fellow-citizens that they have seen written testimonials under the signatures of a minister and the elders of seven Presbyterian congregations, in the vicinity of Mr. Ross's residence, ever since his first attainment to mature age, highly honourable to his character and contradictory of such reports. Mr. Ross's amiable character in other respects, as a man; his confessed talents as a public man; his patriotic attachment to the particular interests, constitution and laws of his country, being so universally known, any remarks on these subjects from us can afford no new information. But we take the liberty to add, that, from a comparative review of the merits of the two candidates, we do cordially agree to give our decided preference and support to Mr. Ross, and therefore beg leave to recommend him to our fellow-citizens, as highly worthy of their suffrages for the office of governor at the ensuing election.
 Benj. Davis, Foreman,  John Peter Miller,  Edward Halferty,  John Mears,  Nicholas Swope,  Nicholas Day,  Christopher Truby,  James McGrew,  Henry Tash,  Daniel Thompson,  Samuel Elder,  John M. St. Clair,  William Clarke,  Samuel Robb,  Martin Overholt,  John Deby.  Wendle Grier, 
N. B. There were four other gentlemen on the grand jury, one of whom voted for Mr. Ross, but objected to the publication of an address. The other three, viz. Jeremiah Murry, Esq. Alexander Brown, Esq. and Mr. Peter Rough, refused to declare their votes on the occasion.
At a meeting of the citizens of Westmoreland co. seriously impressed with the importance of the approaching election of governor for this state, met at the court-house in Greenbarr, on the eleventh day of September, anno domini, 1799, about two hundred present.
Dr. DAVID MARCHANT, Chairman.
It was stated that this meeting was called by the friends to the election of James Ross, to consult on the best means of promoting it, and ascertaining the sense of the people attending count, from all parts of the county. Certain certificates transmitted by the committee of Washington county, for promoting the election of Mr. Ross, relative to his religious and moral character, addressed to general William Jack, were laid before the meeting and gave very general satisfaction.
Upon a free mutual communication, the following propositions were adopted as the sentiments of the citizens present:
 1st. That a free government, constituted on the basis of justice and equal rights, cultivating peace, and preserving safety to the citizens at large, and maintaining respectability with foreign nations, is one of the greatest political blessings. Although no country in the world can boast of absolute perfection, in that or any other respect, the people of America have as much, if not more reason, than those of any other country to be satisfied with the rights and privileges which they enjoy, under their federal and several state constitutions. They appear to be well designed for promoting the happiness of the people, to which little would be wanting but a more general love of virtue, with less of a factious spirit and disposition. A truly republican government must be supported by the former, whilst the latter will finally deliver, by division, any government, be it ever so good as to constitution and abstract principle.  2d. That although this meeting will not allege that the laws enacted under those constitutions, have been altogether free from human error, it is their opinion they have been, upon the whole, intended for the common welfare. That, in most instances, the administration of the general government, has, with the blessing of Providence, greatly contributed in promoting the essential objects for which it has been appointed.  3d. That the United States, having incurred a large debt, which was due as well to the people of other countries for loans, made to these States, in the course of the war for independence, as to their own citizens; for the payment of which no means were or could be provided until their adoption of the new constitution. The federal legislature we bound for the support of the credit of the nation, both at home and abroad, to take proper measures for paying the interest, and providing for the gradual extinguishment of the public debt. That neither could this be done, nor the protection arising from laws and government be afforded, without taxes. This meeting will not undertake to judge with certainty, of the whole system of finance, adopted for these ends, or for protecting an extended frontier, as well as trade and commerce on the ocean, fortifying our sea ports, and being prepared to encounter foreign hostility. Yet they do not hesitate in giving it as their opinion, that all these objects were necessary to be provided for, and that the laws for raising revenue, in so great and so diversified a country as the continent of America; although they may not be equal as to every individual and particular and uniform throughout the whole, and as little oppressive on any of the States as could well be devised. 
4th. That best support of a good government is the Union of a virtuous people, possessing a reasonable confidence in it, and falsely to vilify and misrepresent public measures and public men, is dangerous to the peace and happiness of society. This abuse of liberty, instead of supporting the laws has an evident tendency to destroy them and introduce disorder. The present meeting highly disapprove of all unjust calumnies against the character of either chief justice M c Kean or James Ross; and however proper it may be, to be acquainted with them, to be qualified to form a right judgment in their respective merits, all will, it is believed, ought to be shunned in a regard to both.
5th. As the independence of the United States rests on its united and prudent resistance of all foreign influence or aggression, so their security depends upon harmony between the government of the individual States and the government of the Union. The States are members of one great family; the Union and prosperity of which, like every other family, can only be promoted, by the United and prudent exertions of all the members for the good of the whole.
6th. He only therefore is best qualified for being a governor of any state, who is free from all foreign influence, partiality or prejudice; and whilst he will neither surrender the rights of the state, over which he presides, nor obstruct the exercise of those of the union, is firmly disposed to cultivate harmony among both and all.
The foregoing propositions were agreed to without a dissenting voice.
7th. That JAMES ROSS, who has resided among us for upwards of fifteen years, being generally and deservedly respected for his talents, good principles and fidelity, in the duties of the several offices in which he has hitherto been engaged, this meeting is fully persuaded that he will fill the station of governor of Pennsylvania, when elected, with great reputation, pursuing the true interests of this state and of the union; and as the condition and local interests of the western country, are well known to him, we entertain a well grounded belief of his disposition to promote those interests to every reasonable degree.
The last resolution was agreed to with only five dissenting votes:
It was therefore resolved, that James Ross, be recommended as governor to the free suffrages of our fellow citizens of this state, at the ensuing election, and that the citizens now present will support him accordingly.
Resolved further, That these proceedings be signed by the chairman, and that a copy thereof, with a copy of the certificates from Washington county, be printed for general public information.
DAVID MARCHANT, Chairman.
At a meeting of a number of the citizens of Philadelphia, convened by public notice, at the Union school-house, in Germantown, on Saturday the 21st of Sept. 1799, for the purpose of nominating suitable persons to fill the several offices which will become vacant at the ensuing Election.
LEVI HOLLINGSWORTH, was appointed Chairman:
Whereupon it was unanimously resolved, That the wisdom, integrity, real patriotism, uniform principles, and affable demeanor of JAMES ROSS, of Pittsburgh, eminently qualify him for the dignified station of Chief Magistrate of this commonwealth, and justly entitle him to the suffrages of his fellow-citizens; and that the persons composing this meeting will give their votes, and exercise their influence, to promote his election to that office.
Resolved unanimously, That this meeting approves of the nomination of JOHN JONES, of Lower Dublin, by their fellow citizens of this county; and will support him and JOSEPH BALL, at the ensuing election, as Senators, for the district composed of the city and county of Philadelphia and of the county of Delaware.
Resolved unanimously, That Michael Kepple, Samuel W. Fisher, William Hall, George Fox, Godfrey Haga, and Robert Frazer, deserving and possessing the confidence of this meeting, be recommended to the choice of our fellow-citizens as Members of the House of Representatives.
Resolved unanimously, that the gentlemen whose names are mentioned in the following tickets, are well qualified to serve our fellow-citizens in the corporation of Philadelphia.
Select Council. Samuel Mickle Fox, Samuel Coates, John Miller, junior, and Abijah Davies.
Common Council. Kearney Wharton, John Rugen, Thomas Culbert, Joseph McGoffin, Laurence Herbert, Daniel Smith, Henry Drinker, jun. Michael Kepple, Thomas P. Cope, Joseph Hopkinson, Thomas Parker, George Plumsted, Gideon Hill Wells, Malcom McDonald, Gaspar W. Morris, Jonathan Jones, Pascal Hollingsworth, Edward Pennington, Timothy Paxson, and James Milnor.
Resolved, That J. Wall, M. Kepple, and Joshua Humphreys be a committee to inform our fellow-citizens of the county of Delaware, that this meeting approves of the nomination of John Jones, of Lower Dublin, and earnestly requests their concurrence and support in favour of the said John Jones and Joseph Ball, at the ensuing election.
Ordered, that the minutes of the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and published in the Philadelphia newspapers.
Levi Hollingsworth, chairman. Z. P. Wilson, jun. Secretary.
LONDON, July 24.
The preparations for the secret expedition every day acquire new force. In consequence of an application made by the right honorable Henry Dundas, the Directors of the East India Company have permitted the following ships to enter into engagements with government for three months from the 5th August next, during which time they are to be employed as transports. The ships thus made over are,
 The Queen, Bulbridge  Phoenix, Rockingham  Lord Walsingham, Milville Castle  Earl Spencer, Good Hope, and  Prince William Henry, Hawke. 
By this arrangement Ministers will secure means of transporting a very powerful body of men, and without drawing away from the coal and coaling-trade so many of the regular vessels as to occasion an interruption, or give pretence for a rise in the price of articles. The employment of so many large ships certainly gives a colour to the report that it is not British troops only that are to be employed in the expedition, but that there is to be a formidable co-operation from our allies. In every way the Republic of France is to be attacked; by the most skillful negotiators and agents stationed at the most convenient points, who are to exert all the influence of argument, and by the most powerful armies, who are to assail every side of the full gigantic enemy.
This campaign will therefore be as vigorous and united as all the former ones have been languid and dispirited. If the final survive the energy of this attack she is immortal.
The transports to be employed on the foreign expedition are to be ready the beginning of next month, when the ships which have failed, in order to bring from the Continent the Russian troops, are expected to return.
A private letter from Vienna, dated June 29, states that Moreau had only good news before he received his reinforcements. He has complained to Marshal Suwarow, that no quarters given to the French soldiers. To this complaint, the latter replied, that a body of French troops, after having laid down their arms, made a sudden attack and fired upon the allied troops. The provocation, therefore, originated with the French soldiery.
The following letter was written by the late General Hoche, a short time previous to his death, to the war Minister Scherer; "were I not convinced that the Directory will soon punish your perfidy, I would not give myself the trouble to tell you that I shall no longer carry on any correspondence with you. Was it for you to present an address to the armies—you who are the friend and the most active agent of the conspirators? You who have surrounded us with spies and persecuted the friends of the government. Let your name be speedily forgotten by Republicans whom you have betrayed—who abhor you."
When this letter was written, Scherer was War Minister.
It was observed by Laurent in the Council of Five Hundred, in the sitting of the 21st inst. in support of the necessity of making enquiry into the sums received by the agents of Government in the conquered countries, that he had himself received 65 millions in contributions, 15 of which had been raised within 15 days.
The Chouans are again becoming very formidable in France. On the 26th of last month, three engagements took place between them and the Republican troops, many of whom were killed, and the captain of a corps of grenadiers was literally cut to pieces.
General Suwarow has written to General Moreau, that if the laws passed in France against emigrants shall be put in force against those whom he has in his army, he will make reprisals on the French prisoners.
There was a great want of stage effect in the late charges at Paris. The actors who had made such a figure for several scenes, sneaked off the stage like mere candle snuffers. After such a tame catastrophe, we cannot be surprised that the Piece excited no interest. If it is to be repeated, it will be battle or a gibbet, to produce a striking effect.
The wager between Sir Robert Walpole, and Pulteney, afterwards Earl of Bath, about the quotation from Horace, "Ni cousinus firi nulla pallescere culpa" is well known. Sir Robert lost the guinea he laid on his knowledge of Latin, and on its being decided against him tossed it across the table of the House of Commons to Pulteney.
The latter caught it, saying it was the first money he had received from the Treasury for many years, and should be the last. This celebrated guinea is now in the possession of Sir William Pulteney, and it will generally be allowed that it could not be in safer custody.
UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH.
Monday, the 24th of June last, the University of Edinburgh, conferred the degree of Doctor of Medicine on a number of gentlemen from different countries, after the usual private and public trials. Those from America are the following.
 Richard Beale Screven—'De Vita Humana Gradibus.'  Alexander Baron, jun.—'De Febre Intermittente.'  Joseph Avellin, Balboza—'De Regionis Calidae Effectibus.'  Thomas Akin—'De Robie Coquina.'  James Hambelcone—'De Tetano.'  Bathurst Randolph—'De Respiratione.'  John Watson—'De Dysenteria.'  John Randolph Archer—'De Igne.'  James S. Stringham—'De Absorbentium Systemate.' 

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE 25.
Strickling v. Knudsen. This is a mercantile case of considerable import. The plaintiff was a seaman on board a Danish ship, which failed from Altona for London, and the defendant is the captain. When the ship arrived in the Port, and had delivered her cargo, on the 26th of last May, the men, eight in number, demanded to know whether they were to return immediately home? The captain would not satisfy them, and informed them, that having signed articles at Altona to continue with the ship during her voyage, they should not leave the ship. They then complained that the stores were unsafe, and the ship rendered so by the tackle; and that the provisions laid in for the homeward voyage were bad and unwholesome. These complaints were not attended to; and on the 27th of May they all struck and left the ship, except the mate and boatwain. They did not, as appeared by the evidence of Mr. Wolfe, the Danish Consul, apply to him to redress their complaints, but immediately brought their action for their wages of four dollars per month for 21 months. The captain refused payment, alleging, that they had violated their agreement, of course had forfeited their wages.
On behalf of the seamen, only one witness was called, who swore that the provisions, viz. the beef, and four crows, were all unwholesome; and particularly, that the stores and provisions for the homeward voyage were purchased from the refuse of other ships in the river.
Mr. Sergeant Cook, for the plaintiff, insisted, that under such circumstances the men were not bound by any agreement, but that they were authorized to leave the ship, and insist upon their wages; the defendant having himself, in the first instance, violated his contract, and evaded his duty.
On the part of the captain, Mr. Sergeant, Shepherd called the mate and the boatwain, Johannes Boak and Peter Berge, who positively swore that the provisions were good and wholesome, and that the captain allowed them plenty of it. The ship was well fitted, and was to all intents sea-worthy.
Two custom-house tide waiters were called, who proved in the most positive terms, that the provisions, whilst in the port of London, were of the best quality; and that the captain, the crew, and themselves, fared equally alike.
Judge Rooke was clearly of opinion, that the seamen ought not to have left the ship, without going to the Consul to complain, and if they really had any grievances, to take every step to get them redressed, before they deserted their duty. It was the glory of the English law, he said, that the Judges and juries protected all foreigners, particularly seamen; but the captains of ships must be equally protected in their just rights. The jury consulted, and found a verdict for the defendant.
ROLLA'S ADDRESS TO THE PERUVIANS. IN THE TEMPLE OF THE SUN.
Written by Mr. Sheridan. SHERIDAN'S PIZARRO. Is dedicated to his amiable Confort, in the following elegant terms:
"To her, whose approbation of the Drama, and whole peculiar delight in the applause it has received from the public, have been to me the highest gratification its success has produced; I dedicate this Play." "Richard Brinsley Sheridan." "My brave Associates—Partners of my toil, my feelings and my fame! Can Rolla's voice add vigour to the virtuous energies which inspire your hearts? No—you have judged as I have, the foulness of the crafty ploy by which the bold invaders would delude you—Your generous Spirit has computed as mine has, the motives, which, in a warlike this, can animate their minds, and ours. They, by a strange frenzy driven, fight for power, for plunder, and extended rule—we, for our country, our altars, and our homes. They follow an adventurous whom they fear—and obey a power which they hate—we serve a Monarch whom we love—a God whom we adore—Whenver they move in anger, desolation tracks their progress!—Whenever they pause in amity, affliction mourns their friendship!—They boast, they come but to improve our flats, enlarge our thoughts, and free us from the yoke of error! Yes—they will give enlightened freedom to our minds, who are themselves the slaves of passion, avarice, and pride. They offer us their protection—Yes such protection as vultures give to lambs—devouring and devouring them!—They call on us to barter all of good we have inherited and proved, for the desperate chance of something better which they promise.—Be our plain answer this: The throne we honour is the people's choice—the laws we reverence are our brave Father's legacy—the faith we follow teaches us to live in bonds of charity with all mankind, and die with hope of bliss beyond the grave. Tell your invaders this, and tell them too, we seek no change; and, least of all, such change as they would bring us."

MR. FENNO, "THE AURORA," a few days past, presented to its readers, a calculation of the approaching election, rendering a majority of between 4000 and 5000 votes in favor of its patron M'Kean . It was intended to raise the drooping spirits of the party; but is to any one at all acquainted with the eastern parts of the State a convincing proof that the Federalists must succeed. Only change the rate of the votes in Lancaster, Chester, Berks and Bucks from what Duane predicts, to what it is well known to any one acquainted with those counties, it must be, and the majority declares for Mr. Ross .
Any calculation that can be made upon tenable, or even plausible data, will render the majority in the same way. Take the representation in the State Legislature; there has been for many years a constant majority of Federalists . Take the elections for Members of Congress last fall: it will be found by adding together all the federal and all the anti-federal votes, that although from the arrangement of the districts, a majority of anti-federal members are elected, yet the number of federal votes given in the State, is considerably the greatest. Take the last election for "Electors of a President," &c. it will be found, that although several of the anti-federal counties, particularly Washington and Mifflin , polled more votes than they contained votaries; and that in many of the federal places, (the city, Delaware, Chester and Lancaster counties) a 5th man of their voters didn't go to the election, yet their friends of M'Kean gained on that occasion but a partial victory. All the general elections that have been held since the existence of the federal government, in Pennsylvania, have pretty nearly balanced between the parties; but on the present occasion, it is known to a certainty, that three thousand or more persons will turn out to vote against M'Kean , that could not have been induced to come out to vote for or against any other man. It must be remembered also, that heretofore the anti-federalists were able to count upon Gumberland, Franklin, Bedford and Somerset counties, and all beyond the mountains. Several of those counties, it is now known, will give decided and large majorities in favor of Mr. Ross : And none of them will, by their vote, throw to M'Kean an enemy against the federal government, as on former occasions. Nor can the change which has taken place in Northampton, in any degree counterbalance the contrary change that has taken place and is daily increasing in the western parts of the State.
The subjoined calculation, is submitted with confidence to the scrutiny of the anti-federalists themselves, without any fear of their being able to point out any material error that does not operate in their favor.

When Buonaparte set out for the Holy Land, he promised in one of his Rhodomontades, that each of his ruffians should receive twenty acres of Land. But, sad index of the mutability of human prospects, he cannot now obtain, even for himself, one single acre.
If the Democratic faction be really, as they pretend, the guardians of Republicanism, the Beast has certainly broke loose from his keepers. It is in contemplation, we hear, to provide for the ensuing General Election, at a situation on the borders of the city, to which our absent fellow-citizens may safely repair, to exercise the important and at present momentous right of suffrage.

ALMS-HOUSE,
September 25, 1799. AT a meeting of the General Board of the Guardians of the Poor, PRESENT,
Charles Swift, Jacob Greble, William Preston, William Holderness, Luke W. Morris, Samuel Gathiff, Charles Pleasants, Matthew Vanduzen, Geraldus Stockdale, James Eagle.
Whereas the distressed situation of many of the inhabitants of the city of Philadelphia arising from the present calamity, requires immediate relief; and whereas, from the general absence of the freeholders, and other taxable inhabitants, it has become impracticable to continue the collection of the taxes appropriated for the support of the poor.
Therefore resolved, That Samuel Gathiff and Charles Pleasants shall be a committee from this Board, to negotiate a loan from either of the Banks in this city, amounting to ten thousand dollars, five thousand of which to be advanced immediately, and the other five thousand, when in the opinion of this Board it shall become necessary.
Resolved, That such part of the bailiffs at Maser's Place, as belong to the Guardians of the Poor, be appropriated for the reception of such children, as may become orphans in consequence of the present calamity, and that Luke W. Morris be appointed to procure Nurses, and other proper attendants for them, and generally to superintend that part of the Encampment.
Resolved, That William Holderness, William Preston, James Eagle, and Matthew Vanduzen, Guardians of the Poor, in conjunction with Dr. Samuel P. Griffiths, John Evans, Thomas Harrison and John James, shall be a committee for granting relief to the poor and distressed inhabitants of the city of Philadelphia, the District of Southwark, and the Northern Liberties, which committee shall keep an account of the persons relieved, and the sums expended; having also power to appoint such persons as they may deem qualified to assist in visiting all and every house in which sick or distressed persons are resident, in order that full and effectual relief may be afforded.
Resolved, That Luke W. Morris be the Treasurer of the above committee, and that the money which may be borrowed from the Banks, agreeably to a resolution of this day, be lodged in his hands to defray the expenses of the above committee, and such as may be incurred in maintaining the orphan children at Maser's Place. CHARLES SWIFT, President.
PHILADELPHIA, September 25, 1799.
THE Court for the appointment of Guardians of the Poor for the ensuing year, met this day according to law, at the City Hall, in the city of Philadelphia, but a sufficient number of county magistrates not appearing, and the new members of the Board of Guardians returned to serve, not being present, the Mayor, Aldermen and Justice Wheeler, adjourned the Court to the Almshouse, in the city of Philadelphia, at eleven o'clock the same day; when being assembled, together with ten members of the old Board of Guardians, including four members of the old Board of Managers, of the Almshouse, and none of the new members appearing, it was thought advisable to adjourn the Court to Monday the eleventh day of November next ensuing, then to meet at the City Hall, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, to which time and place the said Court is adjourned, of which all persons concerned are to take notice.

MR. FENNO, It is with regret I observe Mr. Henry Dunken, jun. declines serving in the Common Council, this coming year; a number of citizens have agreed to place Mr. Alex. Henry in his room; having served with Mr. Henry in three public institutions in the city, I can with confidence declare, that in my opinion, the citizens would be much pleased with his services if he should be elected to that office.

The two murderers by the name of Harps who killed Mr. Langford, last winter, in the wilderness, and were arrested and broke the Danville goal—killed a family on Pond River, by the name of Staple on the 22nd day of August, and burnt the house; a party of men pursued and overtook them and their women; the Harps parted, Micajah Harp, took two of the women off with him, the men pursued him and in riding about 10 or 12 miles caught him, having previously shot him. He confessed the killing of Mr. Stump on Big Barren; he also confessed of their killing 17 or 18 besides—they killed two men near Robertson's Lick, the day before they burnt Staple's house. They had with them eight horses and a considerable quantity of plunder—seven pair of saddle bags, &c. They cut of his head; the women were taken to the Red banks. The above took place on Pond River in the county of Muhlenburg. (Ken. Gaz.)
WASHINGTON, September 16.
Extract of a letter from Pittsburgh. Never were Jacobins so defeated as at Greenburg, this week. At a meeting at the Court-house, of about 200 only 5 against R. S. In the evening, Findley and Smilie called a meeting of their own—made great speeches. They were answered and confuted by Mr. Meers. The cry of TRUNK TRUNK was raised, and when they complained that the friends of Mr. Ross ought not to meet with them, about 100 withdrew, and left about 30 to do their own dirtywork. All goes well below.

BALTIMORE, September 25.
There have been two attempts within the last 8 or 10 days to pass counterfeit checks at the office of Dison and Depot, in this city; one of the persons who offered a check of that description has been apprehended and is now in jail; he will probably be tried at the next criminal court, and as a late supplement to the law respecting forged bank notes or checks has made it felony; in either case the deluded and unfortunate wretch will (if convicted) suffer death.
NEW-YORK, September 26.
NINE Deaths have been reported at the Health Office for the last 24 hours, ending yesterday at 12 o'clock.
On Monday morning, the 23d inst the United States ship of war Adams, commanded by Richard V. Morris, Esq. failed from the Hook, on a cruise; in going down from the watering place, the preceding afternoon, she gave unquestionable proofs of a swift sailing vessel and a stiff ship, as she actually out-sailed one of our best pilot boats.
Brig Polly, Richard Bunce, master, mounting 8 guns and 16 men, lately arrived from Jamaica, fell in with and brought to about 10 leagues to leeward of the Savannah, a privateer Schooner named the Mary Anne, belong to New-Providence mounting 10 guns and 35 men, commanded by captain Gardiner Davis, and first lieutenant Joseph Brown, as named in his commission, but found on examination the captain to be John Selby, a native of Stratford, Connecticut, and first lieutenant Joseph Babcock, of Nor-
which, in said state. The said privateer had been (as acknowledged by the crew) in ports to leeward of Havana, robbing the inhabitants. After examination, permitted to proceed on her cruise. The above Schooner having a number of men and twens, boards vessel unawares in the night, and had been a short time before fired on by one of United States brigs, as well as by the brig Polly. So much for New-Providence pirates.
BY THE LISBON GAZETTE.
A French frigate, of 32 guns, and 400 men; off the Western Islands; the Le Gorauque, off the Rock of Lisbon, mounting 28 guns, and 280 men; the Fly, which failed from Cadiz, mounting 20 guns, and 180 men; These noted pirates have captured 150 prizes, great part of which were Americans.
In September, 1795, the Population of France was thus computed:—Males, 12,600,369; females 12,391,628; Total, 25,000,992, of whom 11,100,000 were married; 699,756 widowers; 1,212,512 widows, and 5,519,000 men able to bear arms, exclusive of the population of the departments of Mount Blanc, Mount Terribile, and Alpes Maritimes, which was estimated at 542,000 souls.—According to a calculation formed from official documents in March last, the total number of males was 10,275,000, and the number of men capable of carrying arms did not exceed 3,000,000. This deficiency is ascribed not to the sanguinary conflicts, foreign and domestic, which have emanated from the revolution, but to temporary emigration, the consequence of their conquests in Germany, Italy, &c.—This emigration of conquest we believe is pretty nearly at an end; but we question whether the next Census will be much increased by the circumstance.

A T 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, &c. &c.  A. C. HANSON. N. B. The office aforesaid hath 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 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 Corderoy. Writing is to be taught to all his scholars at stated hours; and to those students who are not destined for the inferior 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 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 re- solution and remarks, and to repeat the publica- tion, as often as convenience will admit, until the 20th day of September next.  july 22. 2aw52o
MILITARY LAND WARRANTS. THE Subscriber having lately returned from viewing the land, surveyed and appropri- ated to satisfy the land warrants, issued by the Secretary at war, to the officers and soldiers of the late continental army; and having made arrangements with Mr. James Jokelson, of Chester county, Pennsylvania, who he left on the land, and who with the assistance of an in- telligent inhabitant of that country, will spend five months in exploring the different sections. He will take regular notes, descriptive of the soil, situation, and natural advantages attached to each section in the whole survey—which notes will be placed in the hands of the subscriber pre- vious to the period for locating, thereby en- abling him to make the most advantageous lo- cations the priority will admit.  He offers his service to the holders of land warrants of the above description, throughout the United States, to receive their warrants, class them, (as no less quantity than 4000 acres will be registered at the office of the treasury) have them registered agreeable to law, and attend to make the location at the time appointed in February next.

WILLIAM GOBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) THE BAVIAD AND MEVIAD. 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 author's 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 Geniuses of other nations.  Some Copies have been sent on to Mr. Som- erville, 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.] may 28
TERMS Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia, FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE JOURNALS OF CONGRESS, FROM THE COMMENCEMENT Of the American War, in 1774, to the present time, INCLUDING The Reports of Heads of Departments, of Committees, and other Official and Pri- vate Papers of that Body, now first per- mitted 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 a dollar, 75 cts per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars whole bound, but, as the publisher does not intend to print man- ner than the number subscribed for, a considerable reduction on the price may be expected to non-sub- scribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work.  Payments to be made on delivery of each volume.  Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Govern- ment.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the com- mencement of their governments, are laid in dark- ness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public re- cords, and the attention of the nation, in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys everything, enhances the value of well authenti- cated public records, and renders them almost in- estimable. It is hoped, that America's will, there- fore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in trans- mitting 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.

We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be diffused among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that 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 co- pies of that record for themselves.

The Swift-Sure, A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Buffalo, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Spring- field and Newark.  THE excellence of this road, the populou- ness of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road (through Bristol, Branswick, &c.) long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Thorough- 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 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 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 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 Buffalo, where it stops to Breakfast; from Buffalo it goes through Newtown to Penny-town to dinner; from Penny-town 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, 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 them- selves to make good every package on the follow- ing 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 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 healthy horses, and com- mitted to the care of intelligent sober and ob- liging 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 sort of chican- ery or imposition 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 behavior, of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns spoke of with the highest satisfaction.
