Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, September 4.
The anniversary of the 4th of September was celebrated this day in the decadary temples, and in the camp de Mars. Sicyer, the president of the directory pronounced an oration upon the occasion.
On the preceding evening the directory issued another order, the object of which was to apply the law of the 4th September to the proprietors and editors of the journals arrested yesterday. The place of their banishment is Oleron. They were allowed two months to repair thither, in conformity with the law of the 8th September, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight; and those who shall not within that time make their declaration, are to be placed on the list of emigrants.
It is Dalmotte who commands at Brest in the absence of Bruix.
Macdonald is at this moment at Paris, and has already had a conference with the minister of war.
FRENCH ARMIES, &c.
Moreau after the battle of Novi, had at first determined to quit his post and to retreat to Savona; but having learned how much the enemy had suffered, he renounced his first design, and determined to cover the Genoese territory. We shall remain in that part on the defensive, at least, until the arrival of Championet, who will bring with him a reinforcement of 30,000 men to join him, from his army of the Alps.
The minister of war has particularly enjoined the commander in chief of the army of England to keep a vigilant eye upon the department of the Marine and Loire. He at the same time instructed him to form a column of two or three thousand men, with a train of light artillery, to be ready to act as occasion may require—to keep that body of men in continual activity, and to direct it against every point where the brigands may attempt to assemble, in order to crush them effectually.
September 7.
Massena's army is now augmented to one hundred thousand men; and will not long remain idle.
Our army of the Rhine advances into Germany without meeting with any obstacles. It is exacting contributions. It has been encamped before Mannheim, with the advanced post in the valley of Neckar. Head quarters are at Heilbronn. The army is 30,000 strong. It will attack Philippsburg; but its great object is to divide the army of the Archduke, and oblige him to weaken his position in front of Massena.
GENERAL SUCHET.
To the Minister of War.
The enemy's loss at Novi exceeded ours.—It was upwards of 8000. Thus after 14 hours obstinate fighting, the French army would have remained masters of the field, if the minds of the officers and soldiers had been affected by the loss of their brave commander.
The successes obtained by gen. Kleman, have raised the courage of our troops; and the greatest part of them now desire to engage the Russians, whom they have had an opportunity of knowing and conquering during the whole of the battle of Novi.
[Signed] SUCHET. [Counter-signed.] BERNADOTTE.
Head Quarters at Cornegliano,
August 24.
Since the unfortunate day of the 15th August, the enemy, to our great astonishment have made no preparations to follow us; and we have resumed our positions in the mountains of Liguria. The citadel of Tortona, having lost hopes of succour, capitulated yesterday. The enemy left but a very few troops between Alessandria and Tortona. They marched with the main body towards Asti, which showed their design to besiege Coni, the only strong place of which we are in possession in Piedmont. They have also detached a corps of 20,000 men against gen. Grenier, who has come down with part of the army of the Alps, into the environs of Suza.
We cannot long maintain ourselves in the position which we now occupy. In the first place, our army is not sufficiently numerous; and on the other hand, the mountains of Liguria are very barren, and the cavalry and the artillery horses perish daily, owing to bad food. The hay is very bad, and for three months past oats have altogether failed us. Genoa can no longer afford us any assistance. The government of that place is alarmed at the approach of the Austrians. One of the Directory has attempted to take flight; another has given in his resignation. The workmen and sailors are all patriots, and will see our departure with grief; but the merchants whose commerce has been on the decline for these four years past, are anxiously desirous of the arrival of the English, from whom they hope to obtain a free trade. These considerations are not those which are most powerful. Our army is in want of every thing, and the Treasury is empty. A sum of 300,000 livres, which was on its way from France, and which was expected with the greatest impatience, was stopped at Savona by gen. St. Cyr, in order to discharge the pay of his army, which was four months in arrears. This gen. was compelled to this measure by the discontent which the 2d divisions which he commanded have loudly testified. The contractors who are not paid, and who are daily cheated by the bills which are given them on the Treasury of Paris, will no longer do their duty. Drafts have lately been
given them which have not been paid; and several soldiers have been obliged also to receive them. It appears as if every thing conspired against this army."
The army of Italy still remains in the Genoese territory, on the defensive. Championet is moving towards it with 30,000 men. He has provisioned Coni, and marched a detachment to Fenestrelles.
LONDON, September 16.
The 1st and 2d divisions, containing a bout 10,000 troops, failed yesterday from Deal, for the Texel. A fleet with cavalry, remain here.
THE DUTCH FLEET.
Of 12 sail of the line, arrived yesterday late in Ozeby Bay, from the Texel. Such of the Dutch sailors who declared for the Stadholder, were drafted out of the respective ships before the fleet failed.
THE SPANISH SQUADRONS.
From Rochefort has escaped into L'Orient, Ad. Warren is in sight of it, but too far to leeward to come up with it.
September 17.
Private letters mention the marching of the Russian and British troops, for the neighbourhood of Alkmaar, where the army is strongly entrenched. Alkmaar has been bombarded, and will be assaulted. The Prince of Orange has 5000 Dutch volunteers with him. A flotilla is ordered to bombard Amsterdam, while 900 volunteer seamen attack the Dutch forts.
The French threaten, and are making preparations for a general inundation of the country;—but the Dutch will oppose the measure.
Great numbers of Dutch troops join the Prince's flag. As soon as the Russian and other reinforcements arrive, the army pushes forward. Three reinforcements reached the army on Monday last.
September 19.
The Archduke has quitted Switzerland with a large part of his army, and marched to Donaueschingen, to oppose the French who have lately passed the Rhine, into Suabia, in which, so far as Frankfort accounts, he has been successful. General Hotze, commands the Austrian army in Switzerland, to act on the defensive; waiting the reinforcements which are marching from Italy, under General Kray.
The most important article by the Hamburg mail, is, of the French having crossed the Rhine, into Suabia. An article from Dilsburg mentions, that they have been completely defeated by the Austrians six leagues from Heidelberg; but by forcing the Archduke to march into Suabia, they expect Massena will succeed in obliging the Austrians to evacuate Switzerland.
In the electorate of Mentz, the people have risen on mass and driven the French back to Offenbach, and threaten the city of Mentz, which as well as Cassel, is declared in a state of siege.
In the palace of Tippoo Saib, in Seringapatam, was found a treat, he concluded with the French, which is sent home by the governor general. In this is a stipulation, that Tippoo should divide with the enemy the English ships that should be captured, and also the different sea ports on the coasts of Malabar and Coromandel.
September 20.
On Tuesday evening his Majesty's sloop L'Espeigle arrived in Yarmouth roads, with dispatches from the British army in Holland. L'Espeigle left the Texel on Sunday last.
Eleven thousand troops, British and Russians, were to move forward on Monday from the Helder, to join the main army, and 5000 more were preparing to disembark. The whole were in the highest health and spirits.
All the letters yet come to hand express the most sanguine hopes of Amsterdam being very speedily in our possession, if the French in their retreat, did not inundate the country, for which, by accounts received from the head-quarters of the British army, it was apprehended they were making preparations.
It is natural to suppose, however, that this is a measure which the great majority of the Dutch would rise up to oppose; and it is a measure of all others calculated to unite that people against the common enemy of civilized society; for the people of Holland must be convinced, that by adopting so desperate a measure as that of a general inundation, the French did not consider not only the future welfare, but the present existence of a great proportion of the inhabitants of Holland.
We know nothing more calculated to open the eyes of what the French call the Batavian people, than this measure of destruction, which they meditated against them. The idea of such a measure being in contemplation, however, was accelerating the landing and march of our troops, for it was conceived possible that we might press upon the French so fast, that they might not be able to accomplish their murderous and diabolical designs.
The Juno frigate, commanded by Captain Dundas, had been lightened, for the purpose of her sailing up as near as possible to Amsterdam, and she was to be accompanied by all the gun and other vessels of force that could be adapted to the navigation of the Zuyder Zee. Vice Admiral Mitchell, whose judgment and spirit are equal to every emergency, was himself to command this armament, with his flag displayed on board the Juno.
By accounts daily received by those who flock to range themselves under the flag of the Hereditary Prince of Orange, there is every reason to suppose that the main body of the Dutch troops at Amsterdam and Rotterdam will, at the approach of the combined force, join the Orange flag.
Our army had remained quiet in their position till Sunday morning last. When the reinforcements reached them, which would be on Monday last, they were expected to advance.
September 21.
Major Dalton arrived yesterday from Holland. No action since the 10th has taken place. The French have begun to cut through the dykes, to retard the operations of our army. But Amsterdam is to be attacked by sea.
From the Duke of York, to Mr. Dundas. Helder, Sept. 14, 1799.
Sir, I have to acquaint you with my arrival at this place yesterday evening, having sailed from Deal on board the Amethyst frigate on Monday morning the 9th inst.
Upon coming on shore, I had great satisfaction in witnessing the disembarkation of eight battalions of Russian auxiliary troops consisting of 7000 men under the command of Lieut. Gen. D'Hermann, which had arrived from Revel in the course of the preceding day and yesterday morning. I afterwards saw these troops upon their march towards the position occupied by the British near Schagen; and I have great pleasure in assuring you that, from their appearance in every respect the most happy consequences may be expected from their co-operation with his Majesty's arms in this country; Lieut. General D'Hermann seems to enter most heartily into our views, and I form very sanguine hopes of receiving essential assistance from his zeal and experience.
"I understand that Sir Ralph Abercromby has made you acquainted with his having repulsed the enemy in an attack made upon him on Tuesday last. I proceed to join him at his quarters at Schagen immediately.
"I have had the pleasure to meet the Hereditary Prince of Orange here. His Serene Highness is occupied in arranging into corps a large body of deserters from the Batavian army, and volunteers from the Dutch ships of war which have proceeded to England. Every assistance shall be given to his Serene Highness to render these corps an efficient addition to our force."

Extract of a Letter from Wm. E. Hulings, Esq. Vice-Consul of the United States at New Orleans, to the Secretary of State, dated
October 18, 1799.
Yesterday it was determined by his Majesty's Officers, that the Port should again be open to neutral bottoms until his pleasure should be known.
Extract of a Letter from an American Gentleman, dated
St. Sebastian, September 3, 1799.
The commerce of France has received great checks owing to the late transactions, which have taken place in that Country. A Paris paper of the 22d August gives the following account:
The situation of Bordeaux, presents an aspect the most distressing: Commerce is at a stand; Credit destroyed; Indignation burns in every bosom; the expression of despair is pictured in every countenance; every one is anxiously attentive to the new crisis.
The late order of the King of Spain requiring that his Billes should be received as a legal tender, and not suffer a depreciation exceeding six per cent. has greatly embarrassed and cramped trade. The Billes are nevertheless at a depreciation of 34 per cent.
The French government have again granted commissions for privateering, subjecting however the owners of privateers to a duty of 15 per cent. on the amount of the sales of their prizes. Seventeen privateers of a large and elegant construction mounting from 20 to 30 guns are daily expected to sail from Bordeaux.
The columns of every democratic paper in the United States, have, for months, been crowded with comments upon the conduct of the government, in the affair of Nathan Robbins, or Jonathan Robbins, or rather Thomas Nash. The most inflammatory declamations have been perseveringly published, calculated to vilify our national justice; to excite the people against the government; to call up from the "wafly deep" of the democratic cauldron all the spirits of rancour and rage against Great Britain; and lastly, to justify the conduct, and appease the troubled ghost of a felon. On a foundation of land, a fabric of falsehood has been laboriously erected by the assiduous builders of democracy. The public attention is now called to the simple truth of facts. It will be recollected that the seaman in question, swore first, that he was a native of Connecticut, and afterwards that he was born in Danbury, in that State. From the following certificates by the town officers of Danbury, it will be seen that this self-named Robbins, but who was known on board the Hermione, only by the name of Nash, was a perjured impostor, and could easily say "the thing that was not," provided falsehood would be subservient to mutiny, murder, or any other crime, which the new immoral philosophy may suggest.
Danbury, September 16, 1799.
WE, the subscribers, select men of the town of Danbury, in the State of Connecticut, certify that we have always been inhabitants of said town, and are from forty-five to fifty-seven years of age, and have never known an inhabitant of this town by the name of Jonathan or Nathan Robbins, and that here has not been, nor now is, any family known by the name of Robbins, within the limits of said town.
Certified per
Eli Maygott, Eben. Benedict, Justus Burnum, Benj. Hitchcock.
Danbury, September 16, 1799.
THE subscriber, late town clerk for the town of Danbury, in the State of Connecticut, certifies that he kept the town records twenty-five years, viz. from the year 1771 until the year 1796, that he is now 56 years of age, and that he never knew any person by the name of Robbins, born or residing in the said town of Danbury, during that term of 25 years, before or since.
Major Taylor.
Perfectly satisfactory as this evidence must be, it may, nevertheless be proper to add, THE DYING CONFESSION of this pirate, as it is stated in an official letter from Sir Hyde Parker: "In consequence of Nash, one of the ringleaders in the mutiny, murders &c. on board the Hermione, being delivered up by the United States to me, he has been tried at a court martial, and sentenced to suffer death, and afterwards hung in chains, which sentence has been put in execution. He ACKNOWLEDGED HIMSELF TO BE AN IRISHMAN."
A letter from Port-au-Prince, dated Oct. 24, states, that Toussaint was rapidly making a conquest of the southern part of St. Domingo. New levies were marching from Port-au-Prince, to the reinforcement of Toussaint.
There are few emotions of the soul, more powerful than self love: To express the extension of the quality to a body, we borrow, from the Bibliotheque of France, the phrase L'Esprit de Corps: It is that Spirit whereby the force and safety appertaining to a mul-
titude, are combined with the vigour of individual impulse. The Democrats have always plumed themselves on the possession of this Spirit; and have always displayed it to admiration, though never in a more perfect degree, than in their lamentations over the murder of Nash, as a republican loss to the cause.
In the paper, published by the tender and infant heirs of Benjamin Franklin Bache, we find offered for sale at the Aurora office "A quantity of waste paper, fit for grocers and trunk-makers." HORACE, when talking of the non-sensical productions of Rome, describes them as quickly passing
"In vicium. vendentem thus et odores, Et pipet, et quicquid chartis amicitur ineptis."
That is, in a language, which the children of Bache can more fluently construe, bad productions are at length consigned to a blind alley, where alspice and pepper, and whatever is wrapped up in stupid news papers are sold. How easy it is to suppose that a "quantity of waste paper, fit for grocers and trunk-makers" can be readily found on the files of a factious printer, and, with how much gracefulness the Aurora man, that "son of the morning" impresses us with his consciousness of the destiny, which awaits his diurnal pages. No one will deny that the paper of the Aurora is waste; that considering its sliminess, it is tolerably fit for "grocers and trunk-makers;" and that, from the necessities of a young family, and the wants of an editor, it is always for sale, for any purpose, and for any price.
Literary projects have almost always proved abortive in Boston. Many attempts have been made to establish periodical works in that small town, but miscellaneous readers ask in vain for a magazine, or a review, or a literary journal in the capital of New England. The poverty of the inhabitants is the probable cause of this deficiency. But the hopes of authors, like the desires of lovers, are not easily extinguished; and a Mr. Hawkins, in the sanguine spirit of a projector, adventures to expose himself to the cold inclemency of a commercial port. He proposes the publication of a Monthly Magazine, entitled "The Columbian Phoenix." But from the dust and ashes of Boston, this Columbian Phoenix will hardly arise. This is to be deeply regretted by the lovers of literature and the friends of humanity, for we understand that Mr. Hawkins is both a sensible and unfortunate man. His success will warmly wither, but scarcely be expected. Although it is said he is to be aided by the classical learning and attic wit of the author of the "Jacobiniad," the Bostonians will, probably, prefer, as usual, the perusal of some of their meagre and time-serving newspapers, or rather that informing and witty work called "An Advertisement."
General Ira Allen has published in England a natural and political history of Vermont. The general understands the politics of his native State admirably well. He also seems to have a very correct notion of private politics, when he publishes a book in London, from the press of Strahan and Cassell, rather than at Bennington from the press of Anthony Haswell, the very Tony Lumpkin of Vermont democracy.
The Duke of Liancourt's book, lately announced in the papers, is now printed by some of the British booksellers. It is rather odd that a very large proportion of the travels and tours in America has been the work not only of foreigners but of such as have been miserably ignorant and stupid, or democratic, wicked, and designing. First we had the simple and credulous Abbe Robin; then the superficial and hasty Chastellux; then Brissot to whose notorious name it is unnecessary to append any epithet; then Master Cooper from Manchester, the friend and associate of Priestly, the "Prairie God Barebones" of Northumberland, and lastly "as one born out of due time" appears the Duke of Liancourt in the character of an author, and observing traveller through the United States. Perhaps, although Monsieur le Due is a very weak man, yet he can shift to the semblance of a man of letters, as easily as to many other forms, which this rightful descendant of the Vicar of Bray has long been in the habit of assuming. He began with the dutifulness of loyalty, a courtier and the King's friend. Next he was a mirror of moderate republicanism, and all the lukewarm tribe might recognize in him a sort of political insanity, like their own; next he appeared in Boston, &c. and there he was a sort of a royal, patriotic, jacobinical, moderate, federal, anti federal, anti Gallo, anti Anglo, changeable silk politician, very much like the conductors of some of our Columbian papers in that quarter. Next he wandered over the different parts of the United States, and, doubtless, was a perfect Frenchman in them all. By and by we find him in Hamburg, willing to lose his garter, and quench his star, and blot his ducal escutcheon, and be struck off the list of emigrants, and crouch at the feet of Pentarchy. Lastly, as not even the holy Talleyrand could receive him into the bosom of the new Gallic Church, we find this rejected Harlequin in England, and publishing, in the fanciful style, a book of travels through this country. This performance, from the recency of its publication abroad, we have not yet had an opportunity to peruse, or criticise. But extracts from the volume have been received and examined. From the tenor of these it is evident that a system of general misrepresentation of American affairs may be expected from this Jacobin at bottom, who, it is understood, has calumniated public characters of integrity and worth; and, with the common arts of a democrat, has distorted and falsified circumstances, with the unblushing effrontery of an Old Bailey witness, and with the flexible conscience of one of BUTLER'S "affidavit men."
Some months ago, the editor of the Aurora charged Ben Russell with a blunder in Geography. It seems that the latter, possibly from some lurking remains of attachment to Mr. Genet and his republic, was willing to take Alston, from its old site, and forcibly retain the reluctant city in France! But, alas, the triumphing of the wicked is short. For, a few days after this detection, the heirs of Bache, who, in the course of their juvenile studies, have certainly neglected Morse, even in his abridged form, speaking of the Farmer's Museum, tell us that it is printed at Walpole—in Connecticut. Mr. Russell, who, if he did not waver quite so much in his politics, occasionally maltreat his best friends, attack the members of his own party, and give his paper such a whimsically variegated and rainbow appearance, is certainly to be praised as an active, intelligent editor, must take care, or worse defects will be found in his Centinel, than an error in geographical science. It would be unfortunate, if the steady and constant friends to government, should lay of Doane and him that they were "Par nobile fratrum," or quote and apply an unlucky line from VIRGIL.
"Ec cant are pares, et respondere parati."
MURDEROUS MONUMENT.
An hardened villain at Baltimore, proposes the erection of a monument to the memory of Jonathan Robbins! It might not prove amiss, if this design, conceived tho' it be, by the blackest guilt, were actually put in execution. It could not but be, in perpetuam rei memoriam. A monument not only of the guilt of the murderer himself, but an evidence to after times, that jacobinism approved, applauded, and became an accomplice, after the fact.
The adorations paid by a jacobin at the shrine of the goddess of liberty, resemble nearly, the addresses of a libertine to some tender-hearted fair one, in whose ear he whispers eternal devotion, constancy and truth; and for which he expects in return to be admitted to the enjoyment of her peculiar favours.
A sagacious Quindunc of my acquaintance, imagines himself to have discovered a Clavis to that beautiful episode of the Mincian bard, the descent of the Trojan hero into hell. He says that Maro was prophesying when he wrote the Eneid! that present France is the hell he contemplated, Paris Phleg-thon—The directory, the triple-headed dog. [On hinting that the directory had five heads, he replied in his usual pruned manner—"quinque juncta in trio," meaning, I supposed thereby, that the nominal five are to effect, but three; or that two of the five become dumb mouths at the nod of the majority; no uncommon case.] L'argent, beaucoup de l'argent, Dutch receipts, &c. &c. he supposed to form the golden bough of the hero. Democracy in the Eburn gate, and federalism the born America, rescued from the fangs of jacobinism, by the courage and fidelity of her loyal sons, is destined to be the happy Elysium. 'Twere to be wished he might publish his key to the world, and support it by logical inductions.
The cream-coloured patch set into the Bilingsgate address, of our new Sancho Panza, to his Barratarian subjects, reminds one, of a remark by David Garrick on a mortal enemy, who, like our Sancho, was performing a dignified character in an uncouth dress. He is a blackguard, now; said David, and by putting a patch on two on his coat, will make a good Scaramouch.
Of the non-election of the proper governor for Pennsylvania, we may say, and in good set terms of honest pride and exaltation too, that if dignity, property, sense, learning, reason and worth, could have aught availed, these things had not been so. And we may remember further, that in Philadelphia, where his antagonist lives, and is best known, the said antagonist was left in the vocative—in the western counties, where Mr. Rofs lives, and is best known, he had a large majority.
The woful yet glimmers with some streaks of day."
One of the passions that lead great minds to acts of enterprise and daring, or of long toil and pain, in the service of their country, in its perversion, stimulates ignoble natures to attempts of equal magnitude in a contrary cause: thus Erostratus burnt down the most splendid monument of his age, and thus Jacobins, aim, without intermission, at the bouleversement of our religion and laws. Such is the lot of mortality, that its very ailment will be at times converted into its bane, without the intervention a more powerful curb to the licentiousness of evil spirits, than the virtue of every age has been sufficient to bear.
From assailing Justice and Equity in the outline, Jacobins have begun to attack it in detail: Having long been in the habits of reviling those laws by which pirates and murderers are rendered up to justice, they now attack, in the very natural progress of their system, the particular operations of the laws. Thus does impunity ever embolden crime! Thus does the dog-logic politician of the day, progress, step by step, from liberty and equality, to open sedition—from sedition to dabbliing in four contracts—and from dabbliing in four contracts to joining in the grand Conspiracy against the laws, religion and government of this country.
It is at length proved, by evidence the most irrefragable, that Robbins was not a native of America. This, though it be irrelevant to the general question of his case, would have been highly flattering to men feeling a pride in the honor of their country,
were not that consideration detracted from, by the disgraceful fact, that Americans have been found ready to approve and justify his foul, unnatural deeds: this is still a consolation, however. It has been asserted, with a bold countenance, that Robbins, alias Thomas Nash, was an impressed American seaman. It being proved that he was not an American, his impressment becomes a question, of which we have no cognizance, even tho' it were proved; which it has never been. Nash, it appears, was so well pleased with his situation, as to make many cruises in the ship, in the course of which, he rose to the rank of warrant officer. Having touched often during these cruises, at different ports, where abundant opportunities must have offered, of deserting the ship, had there existed an inclination on his part, it is fair to conclude, that he took the leading part we find he did in the cruel murder which ensued, solely from a thirst for plunder. But disappointment, in this instance, at least, attended on crime; and in his deep, four years after the perpetration of the massacre, he betrayed indications of guilt, which led to his detection and punishment; much to the grief of all virtuous democrats.
"Thus tho' the villain scape awhile, he feels, Slow vengeance like a bloodhound at his heels."

DIED.
On the 9th instant, in the Pennsylvania Hospital, Hannah Lewis, in the 87th year of her age.
She was a native of this City, and for the last 17 years, a patient of the house. Supposing herself to be a daughter of king George II. and having a mind to see her father, she made several attempts about forty years since to go to England, but was always detected and prevented by her friends. At length she eluded their vigilance and escaped to New-York, carrying her plate with her, and about £300 in cash. There she concealed herself in a ship bound to London, where she arrived and remained about seven years, till her money and plate was all expended; her curiosity being gratified, she settled her tribute money as she called it, at the rate of a heaped bushel of gold per annum, and returned to Philadelphia supremely happy, in the idea of receiving punctual remittances every year. With this she supported the Hospital (which she called her own house), and allowed all her domestics to live in splendor, equal to the pre-eminent dignity and rank, she always imagined she sustained in the world.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT. March 11th, 1799. PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, Pursuant to the act of Congress passed on the 11th day of June, one thousand, seven hundred and ninety six, entitled "an act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military services, and for the Society of United Brethren for propagating the gospel among the Heathen;" and the act supplementary to the said recited act passed on the second day of March, one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine— to wit:
THAT the tract of Land herein after described, namely, "beginning at the North West corner of the seven ranges of townships, and running thence fifty miles due south, along the western boundary of the said ranges; thence due West to the Main Branch of the Scioto river; thence up the Main Branch of the said river to the place where the Indian boundary line crosses the same; thence along the said boundary line to the Tuckahoe branch of the Muskingum river at the crossing place above Fort Lawrence; thence down the said river, to the point where a line run due west from the place of beginning, will intersect the said river; thence along the line so run to the place of beginning;" has been divided into townships of five miles square, and fractional parts of townships; and that plats and surveys of the said townships and fractional parts of townships are deposited in the offices of the Register of the Treasury and Surveyor General, for the inspection of all persons concerned.
The holders of such warrants as have been or shall be granted for military services performed during the late war, are required to present the same to the Register of the Treasury, at some time prior to the twelfth day of February in the year, one thousand eight hundred, for the purpose of being registered; No registry will however be made of any less quantity than a quarter township, or four thousand acres.
The priority of location of the warrants which may be presented and registered in manner aforesaid, prior to the 12th day of February in the year one thousand eight hundred, will immediately after the said day, be determined by lot, in the mode described by the act first recited.
The holders of registered warrants, shall on Monday the 17th day of February, in the year 1800, in the order of which the priority of location shall be determined by lot as aforesaid, personally, or by their agents, designate in writing at the office of the Register of the Treasury, the particular quarter townships selected by them respectively, and such of the said holders as shall not designate their locations on the said day, shall be postponed in locating such warrants to all other holders of registered warrants.
The holders of warrants for military services sufficient to cover one or more quarter townships or tracts of four thousand acres each; shall, at any time after Monday the 17th day of February, 1800 and prior to the first day of January, 1802, be allowed to register the said warrants in manner aforesaid, and forthwith to make locations therefor on any tract or tracts of land not before located.
All warrants or claims for lands on account of military services, which shall not be registered and located before the first day of January, 1802, are by the supplementary act of Congress herein before recited, passed on the second day of March, 1799, declared to be forever barred.
Given under my hand at Philadelphia, the day and year above mentioned. OLIVER WOLCOTT, Sec. of the Treasury.

TO THE PUBLIC. THE time being fixed on, when the MILITARY LAND (commonly called Knox's) WARRANTS, granted to the United States' army, are to be registered and located,—the subscribers have explored that tract of land on which those warrants are to be laid; with a view, and for the purpose of offering their services as locators.
We take the liberty of suggesting, "that we are at least as well acquainted with the situation, quality of the soil, &c. of the different townships in the aforesaid tract, as any other person;" this will, perhaps, appear more clearly, by observing, that WILLIAM C. SCHENCK assisted in running the Indian boundary line; at which time he considerably traversed that tract; he also assisted in surveying and laying it off into townships, and at other times ranged over it, to gain information. But to obtain a more complete and accurate knowledge, we have lately spent between two and three months, with several assistants, in particularly examining the different townships and quarter townships; by which means we have acquired an accurate knowledge of the whole district.—We now offer our services to the public, as Locators, with assurances that we will locate every person warrants intrusted to us to the best advantage, agreeably to their rights of location, which is to be determined according to law. For our services we demand the one equal tenth part, either in lands or warrants, when we locate a full tract, of four thousand acres or more, for one person or firm; the land to be taken in a square, at a corner of the tract; which corner is to be equitably determined before the time of location.—The one equal sixth part, in cash or warrants, when we connect and locate any amount less than four thousand acres. We will be in Philadelphia from December next, until after the time of location, to transact this business. Any person wishing to satisfy himself farther, will please to call on us, by letter, (postage paid) or otherwise; when due attention will be paid, and such vouchers may be seen as we have to offer, which we hope will be satisfactory.

To the Holders of MILITARY LAND WARRANTS. THE Subscriber having lately returned from viewing the land surveyed and appropriated 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 Johnson, of Chester county, Pennsylvania, who he left on the land, and who with the assistance of an intelligent inhabitant of that county, 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 previous to the period for locating, thereby enabling him to make the most advantageous locations 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 required 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.
For transacting the business, one tenth part of the land specified in the warrants will be required, and no other charge, except the postage of letters. All warrants forwarded and letters addressed to the subscriber, at No. 3, Penn-street, Philadelphia, will receive immediate attention. JAMES E. SMITH. mwtff. September 2.

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 Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public. THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo. Each volume will contain above 500 pages, nearly bound and lettered. Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries. The price to subscribers will be 2 dolls. 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dolls. whole bound, but as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers. Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work. Payments to be made on delivery of each volume. Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness, in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation, in those 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 authenticated public records, and renders them almost incalculable. It is hoped, that Americans will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation. * The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired: * Philadelphia, June 15, 1798.

The Swift-Sure, A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Bullstein, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Spring- field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populousness of the country through which it passes, with sundry other advantages, which render it so far preferable to the Old Road through Bristol, Brunswic, &c. long ago suggested the propriety of its becoming the Grand Through-Fare from Philadelphia to New-York. During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken, and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained.—There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required at the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is amongst the least of its advantages, because daily experience proves to us, that dispatch as well as comfort in travelling principally depend on the goodness of the road and the levelness of the country, and in these respects, the New Road is, beyond all comparison, the best. It presents none of those rocky hills, which render the Old Road so fatiguing between the Delaware and Newark. The toll, too, for the greater part, is such as to produce but little mud in winter, and very little dust in summer, which circumstance, added to the beauty of the country, and a considerable proportion of shade, must always render travelling in the latter season peculiarly agreeable. The Swift-Sure starts from PHILADELPHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from the GREEN TREE, opposite the Lutheran Church, North Fourth Street. It goes through Frankford to Bullstein, where it stops to Breakfast; from Bullstein it goes through Newtown to Pennytown to dinner; from Pennytown 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 Edward Bardou, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathews, corner of Nassau and John Streets, to B. Many, no. 48, Courtlandt, corner of Greenwich Street, and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no. 42, Broad Street.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars. Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each passenger is allowed to take on rails, of baggage carriage free; but all other baggage, taken on by a passenger, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weight. With respect to packages sent on without passengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a regulation, which, though unknown to other lines of stages, they think must meet with general approbation. They pledge themselves to make good every package on the following conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office shall see it entered in the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6 cents; he will then state the value of the package, and pay (exclusive of the carriage) one per cent. on the value, as insurance, and for which he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance, if he eliminates his package at one dollar, he will pay one cent, and if at one hundred dollars, he will pay one dollar insurance, and in like proportion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike this regulation; it will, however, be optional with every one to avail himself of this security or not. But the proprietors think it right to state very explicitly, that they will be responsible for the safe delivery of no package, which is not regularly entered, and for which an insurance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greatest care has been taken to fix on such places and taverns as always afford a good accommodation and entertainment for the passengers at the most reasonable rates. The stages are well equipped furnished with fleet and steady horses, and committed to the care of intelligent and obliging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the stages will stop, so that the conduct of the persons they employ is continually an object of their attention.—They take care also to see that the passengers are well provided for and politely treated at the taverns, and that no sort of chicanery or influence is practiced upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expense to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best line of stages in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, during which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Every passenger has found the road to surpass very far all that has been said of its excellence; and the Proprietors of the Swift-Sure are extremely happy to hear the behavior of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns spoken of with the highest satisfaction.
