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 ex- plored that tract of land on which those war- rants are to be laid; with a view, and for the purpose of offering their services as lo- cators. We take the liberty of suggesting, "that we are at least as well acquainted with the situation, quality of the soil, &c. of the dif- ferent townships in the aforesaid tract, as any other person;" this will, perhaps, ap- pear more clearly, by observing, that Wil- iam C. Schenk 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 particu- larly 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 persons warrants instructed to us to the best advantage, agreeably to their rights of location, which is to be de- termined according to law. For our ser- vices we demand 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 thou- sand 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 sa- tisfactory.

DR. ANDREWS Of the University of Pennsylvania, Proposes to receive a few Private Pupils to be instructed in the rudiments of THE LATIN LANGUAGE. He confines himself to beginners; because he would not incur the danger of having many Classes, or being obliged to build on an insufficient foundation. And as he will require their attendance two hours in the day (from eleven o'clock in the fore- noon, to one) there will be no need of removing them from the schools to which they have hither- to gone, or may be intended to be sent, for their improvement, in reading, writing, ciphering, and other useful branches of literature, not usually taught in a Latin school.

THE LAY PREACHER. "And Israel said unto Joseph, now let me die since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive." The story of Jacob and his family is, con- fessedly, one of the finest specimens extant, either in ancient or modern writings, of the force and beauty of simple narrative. Art- less and unadorned, it conveys to the mind, with resistless energy, the most salutary and important instruction, while it strongly en- gages the more virtuous affections of the heart, and leaves behind it a sympathy, at once "pleasing and mournful to the soul." The character of the patriarch appears alike interesting and lovely, whether we be- hold him buffeted by the storms of adversity or see him waited cheerily on by the favor- ing gale of prosperity. When misfortunes and grief assail him, he either withstands them to the last, or yields, not like a coward who faintheartedly shrinks from the encount- er, but like a strong man, borne down by superior power. Who, "if his heart be made of penetrable stuff," can behold, with- out emotion, the venerable man, great in grief, struggling against that host of evils which thickened upon him and seemed ready to overwhelm him and his children, during the mysterious behaviour of Joseph, in the land of Egypt? Who can look indifferently upon the doubts, anxiety and distraction which preyed upon the mind and weighed down the spirits of the aged father, when to refuse himself and his family from the threat- ening jaws of famine, he at first refused and afterwards, reluctantly, consented to hazard the person of his darling Benjamin in the hands of a foreigner, who he already, in an unaccountable manner, consigned to prison his son Simeon? Deeply afflicted by what had already happened, and filled with appre- hensions of further disasters, he thus tenderly expostulates with those who endeavor to sup- press his fears: "Me have ye bereaved of my children—Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away." Then suddenly crowded to his recollection the images of his long-lost Joseph, whom he sup- posed to have been miserably devoured by "some evil beast," and of his once much loved Rebecca, "now to the dust gone down," for whose love a seven-years servi- tude had seemed but a few days. Of her Benjamin was now the only surviving son. Unable to smother the emotions excited by such recollection, he concludes: "My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead and he is left alone; if mischief befall him, then shall ye bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to the grave." At length, however, finding himself no longer able to withstand the pressing entreaties of his other sons, and the still more pressing demands of unrelenting necessity, his resolution is chang- ed, though his apprehensions continue unre- moved. "If it must be so now," said he, "do this; take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels—and take also your brother and arise, go again unto the man, and God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother and Benjamin. "If I be bereaved of my children I am bereaved." Having thus fervently committed his cause to the disposal of Him who disposeth of all things, and looking to Him, in prefer- ence to Sovereign Reason and Philosophy, to "Raze out the written troubles of the brain," he prepares to meet the worst.—But now behold the storm which had long been ga- thering and darkening over his head, threat- ening to sweep away the last support of his declining years and to sink him into the depths of despair and misery, is in a moment dispersed, and joy superior breaks in upon his soul. He learns, from Egypt, that his son Joseph is yet alive; and not only alive, but that, in consequence of his wisdom and virtue, he is exalted to be "lord over all Egypt," and has sent an invitation for him to remove, with his possessions, to that land of wealth and abundance. When Jacob knew this, he said, "it is enough. Joseph is yet alive and I will go and see him before I die." He sets out accordingly—meets his son "who was dead and is alive," and ardently em- bracing him, exclaims: "Now let me die, since I have seen thy face!" Such is the interest which parents take in seeing the prosperity of a child. When the evening of life approaches, when the knees begin to totter with the weight of innum- erable years, when the ordinary pleasures and amusements of life become tasteless and in- sipid, and when the heart no longer vibrates
to those lighter joys which thrill through the bosoms of the young and gay; then the joys, the wishes and the hope of the declining pa- rent contract themselves to a single point and center upon the welfare of his children. If in this he is disappointed—if children prove unoward and ignominious, they are sure to "bring down the grey hairs" of their parents, "with sorrow to the grave." Let such be made to feel that "The purest treasure mortal times afford Is spotless reputation; that away Men are but gilded loam or painted clay." To you who are parents I shall not at- tempt a description of the comfortless days and sleepless nights which result from a pain- ful apprehension of the fall and ruin of a wanton and giddy daughter, or of the in- famy of a riotous, intemperate and wayward son. You fully realize, that the sickness and death of your children is, indeed, "griev- ous and heavy to be borne," but, that their disgrace and infamy is past endurance, excru- tiating, tormenting. To you who are children the remembrance ought always to be present, that the souls of your parents are so bound up in your own; that every lewd and intemperate debauch, every licentious and beastly riot, every vi- cious and disgraceful action is a poisoned shaft with which you barbarously pierce their inmost souls, contaminating the source of every enjoyment, and polluting the foun- tain even of life itself. You thus volun- tarily become their destroyers, while you have it in your power to be their support, their consolation and "their exceeding great reward." You have it in your power, by the practice of diligence, chastity, temper- ance, probity and "whatsoever things are honest and of good report," to sooth the at- tendant sorrows of decrepid age and to "light up a smile in the" furrowed "aspect" of your decaying parents. With you it lies to cheer and sustain their sinking spirits, and render the evening of their life, like that of a long and ardent summer's day, placid, re- freshing and serene. Then, "when the last dread hour is come," and parting life grows dim and tremulous, as the weak glimmerings of an expiring taper, death—single death descends like a peaceful sleep—their eyes are closed, and they are willingly "gathered to their people."
The Lay Preacher of Pennsylvania. The nonsense and democracy of America united in censuring Mr. Jay, because he did not communicate his powers and instructions, when he was negotiating with England to citizen—Munroe the misrepresentative of the United States at France. The demos, in and out of Congress, ranted and scolded both at the President and Mr. Jay, because the former did not instruct the latter to communicate his instructions to, and that the latter refused to account from day to day of his progress in negotiation to the bon ci- toyen, who itched, in all his members, to tell this progress to his masters in Paris!
Why do not these same good patriots now shew their consistency, and bellow away on the President to direct the envoys to France to send a copy of their instructions and pro- ceedings to Mr. King? Or let them shew, if they can, why the king of England has not as good grounds to expect a knowledge of the instructions and progress of our en- voys at Paris, as the directory of France had to be acquainted with those of Mr. Jay at London.
A Frenchman advertises for sale, among various articles of perfumery, several pair of duelling pistols. We think these duel- ling pistols might be advantageously export- ed to France, where the ruffians of the re- public might have full liberty to employ them, in blowing out each other's brains. In a city of benevolence and brotherhood it is perfectly consistent, and nicely quadrates with the French philosophy to advertise the implements of murder. If the rage for peacemaking and speaking kindly to Gallic villains continue, we may expect to see our young Quakers taking up fire arms at the above Frenchman's shop, and True Ameri- cans willing to demolish each other upon the most patriotic, truly great, free and inde- pendent principles.
Field Marshal Suwarrow, the illustrious Christian Hero, and Defender of our Faith, is, they tell us, routed with great slaughter; the British forces in Holland have failed in their enterprise undertaken for the delivery of that country; and the Militia of Eng- land and Scotland have refused to march; but, as the eternal is yet in Heaven, as his Divine Justice never sleeps, our creed will still be, NIL DESPERANDUM.
Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audenior io. No people on earth are so sadly seized by Foreign Newspapers (to borrow an ex- pression from Ben. Ruffe) as the people of the United States. Every lying, vap- oring, varlet news-monger of Europe, is in his element here, and here they all fret and frut their hour, fearless of the ire of indig- nation.
David Allison, Esq. actually died, of the Yellow Fever, in the year 1798, in the Prison of Philadelphia, as we are assured; and the report in circulation, to the contrary, is without foundation.

Full of holy fear and awe... Of all the good things here you may enjoy, A little share and beggar man of God Is one perhaps you'll mark among the fry; He has a requish twinkle in his eye Which, when observ'd, he thinks into his maw, And, straightway, recollects his piety anew.
As THE LAY PREACHER is neither a rigid Calvin, nor a John Knox, he does not affect a style of uniform austerity, but strives to vary his manner, as much as possible, that, where he cannot rouse by reasoning, he may sooth by melody. His tone is sometimes soft, and sometimes loud, and if gay in one sermon, it is commonly grave in the next. He, at one time, exhibits a profile of character, and, at another a sketch of landscape. He sometimes looks into the political, and sometimes into the literary cabinet. As the present hour is a wintry one, he has chosen a serious essay for the inspection of his readers. It was originally composed in autumn, but as almanac writers say will serve, without any essential variation, for the meridian of Philadelphia, and may be pronounced by punning critics a discourse cold enough for any season, and equally dull in January, as in November.]
THE LAY PREACHER.
"We all do fade, as a leaf."
THIS morning, when I opened my study shutters and saw the brown oak leaves flying thro' the turbid air, heard the "rocking winds piping loud," and remarked that the frozen ground was half concealed by the snow and sleet of November, I turned to Isaiah, and pensively copied my text. The naturally of a lively temperament, yet the state of my spirits is regulated much by the season and by the sky; and my gaiety, like mercury in the philosophic tube, rises in warm weather, and sinks in cold. The body of a sedentary valetudinarian, like exposed vegetables, contracts and is impaired by the operation of frost; and, perhaps, as there is a well-known sympathy, his mind languishes, as autumn fades. At least, if the intellectual powers do not lose their tone, they have an impression of melancholy from the whole scenery of nature, at this dull and tempestuous season. Nor is this the peculiar infelicity of the hypocondriac and the invalid. Many of the robust of my acquaintance who in spring can join in chorus with the robin, and in summer dance like Ariel, "under the blossom that hangs on the bough," will more pensive a day in November like solitary birds. In fact, such is the law of our being, that we are generally animated by spring and sunshine, and generally depressed by cold and by clouds. The vicissitudes of the weather affect certain constitutions much more than others, but we have SHAKESPEARE's authority that life itself is "fervile to every skiey influence;" and Dr. JOHNSON, in some very feeling and forcible lines, declares that not only the blasted plain confers the power of the gloomy season, but that its reign spreads still wider, and that he feels its power upsurp his breath.
"Enlivening hope and fond desire, Reign the heart to spleen and care; Scarce frighted love maintains his fire, And rapture fades to despair."
He adds pathetically, that man still changes with the changeful year, and is the slave of sunshine and of gloom. THOMPSON, who was a diligent observer of every peculiarity of the seasons, remarks that the power of what he terms philosophic melancholy , is in every breeze of autumn; and no season is more favourable to "woo lone quiet in her silent walks." In spring he calls for gay companions to rove with him in quest of trout from the brook, or flowers from the bank; but in autumn, most of his lines are in a pensive tone, his images, to borrow a term from painting, are in a deep shadow, and he talks of "the lonesome mule."
But most men, however inexpressive to describe like the poets the "russian blasts" of this stormy season, feel the baleful influence upon the body, and mark gloomy thoughts rising in the mind. We look around us, and discern a great revolution in the vegetable kingdom. We see the lately verdant oak stretching out as it were his bare arms to implore pity from the boisterous gale. In the room of aspiring corn and waving wheat, we see the dry stalk and the shrivelled stubble. Instead of hearing the gay birds in concert, we see them on the wing, migrating to the south, and eager to warble under a softer sky. Whether our walk is in the forest or the field, we receive constant warnings of the decay of the year, and look sorrowfully at the leaves dropping from the woods, as at the last figures in a funeral procession.
In this mood of sadness, viewing the desolate state of nature, how natural for us to feel the sentiment and use the expression of the prophet "We all do fade as a leaf."
"Dark as the leaves, that quiver on the spray, Like them man flourish, like them decay."
Not only life droops, but its hopes, its schemes, its enjoyments grow fallow with years, and though we may bask in the June of joy for a time, yet the mournful November of our days "follows harsh, and shuts the scene." I think as I now see the flakes of snow fall falling at my door, that they too, no less than the foliage of spring, are emblematical of much of the Friendless, much of the love of this inconstant world. The snow seems fair, and promises well, but try it, and like a perjured female, it is faithless and cold. The last month of autumn presents in every driving gale, and on every discolored leaf some memorandum of nature's change; and if, after the first flush of life is over, we enquire of those once foremost in attachment and prodigal of professions, we
shall find, in the emphatical language of the psalmist, "that the love of many waxed cold," and that man, as well as plants, alters with the season. These reflections, though melancholy, accord with the time of the year. It is in fact, hallowed time; it is the lent of nature. A period of dreariness, in which every one feels unmounted gloom, which is manifested aloud not only by a sedate Lay Preacher, but by authors the most jocund, even by the sprightly Miss Seward, with whose descriptive lines I shall close a sermon, already pronounced too long by half my gayer readers.
"'Twas here, even here, where I now sit reclin'd, And autumn's sighs found hollow in the wind; Loud, and more loud, the blast of evening raves, And strips the oaks of their last lingering leaves. The eddying foliage in the tempest flies And fills, with duster gloom, the thickening skies, And sinks the sun behind the howling hill, And rushes with hoarse streams the mountain rill; And now, with ruffling billow cold and pale, Runs, swollen and dashing down the lonely vale; While to their tearful eyes grief's faded form Sits on the cloud, and sighs amid the storm."

Office of the N. York Gazette, 1 o'clock, Friday morning, Dec. 13.
At a late hour last night, we met the ship Argus, capt. Main, coming up, in 47 days from St. Sebastians. From our correspondent, we have received Paris papers to the 16th of October. We lament that we have only time to announce summarily their important contents. These papers give the official details of Massena's operations from the 25th of Sept. to the 8th October, by which it appears that, on the 25th of September he passed the Lent at Dietikon, beat gen. Korsakoff, and summoned Zurich to surrender—the terms were not accepted, and the town was taken by assault.—In the mean time, Suwarrows had advanced to act in concert with the armies lately attacked by Massena, but finding them defeated, avoided an action by keeping the mountains—Here he was however attacked, and left 2000 wounded, a part of his artillery, and almost his whole baggage. In the mean time Korsakoff, informed of Suwarrows's situation, hastily assembled a corps, composed of the remnant of his army and that of Hotze the Bavarian contingent, and that of Conde, attempted to march to the Thur, and from thence to Zurich. Massena attacked him, forced him to repass the Rhine with loss. Massena, in these battles, states, that he has taken 18,000 prisoners, more than 100 cannon, and 13 stands of colours—that 4 generals have been taken, and 5 killed. Loss of the enemy in toto, more than 30,000 men. [Of this we shall give a translation.]
Paris, October 14.—It is reported, that at the moment when the Directory were writing a letter of felicitation to Buonaparte upon his last victory, they learned that he had landed at Frjus. It is supposed, from this, that his return was not expected by the Directory.
Moreau is here—Buonaparte is expected this evening. [The day capt. Mann failed, positive news of Buonaparte's arrival at Paris was received at St. Sebastians.]
Franckfort, is said was taken by the French, Oct. 5.
Translations, in detail, with interesting Marine articles, are now preparing for this Gazette.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 12.
Arrived last evening, Ship Anthony Manning, capt. Edwards, from Embden, which he left the 22d of October. We are sorry that no papers have been brought from this interesting quarter, by the above arrival, later than the 27th of September, which capt. E. accounts for by saying that all regular communication between Embden and other parts of the continent was cut off, and that no English or Dutch papers of late dates could be obtained.
The verbal intelligence we have collected from captain Edwards, is confirmatory of the latest news via Boston, that in the engagement of the 3d of November, the Gallo-Bavarians lost ground, but that the Russians and English lost far the most men, informed that they held the ground they had taken but two or three days, when they had to make a retreat to avoid being surrounded, as far as the Helder, where they were entrenched themselves, and making winter quarters. The opinion of American and British travellers, from the interior of Holland, of whom captain E. received the above information, was, that from the great loss of the Anglo-Russians on the 3d, the antipathy and zeal of the Dutch which had been excited by the cruelties of Russian soldiery, and from the swarms of French who were pouring from all quarters into all Holland, they would either evacuate even the Helder, or be surrounded and made prisoners.
Captain E. further mentions, that the king of Prussia had transmitted a spirited remonstrance to St. James's, against an infringement of his sovereignty by the British who had cut some vessels out of the Ems, within his jurisdiction.
By a letter which arrived from England at Embden, a day or two before captain E. failed, he learnt that commotions had taken place both in England and Scotland, by the militia, who had refused to leave the kingdom.
Capt. E. has favoured us with the names of the following vessels, left at Embden the 22d of October.
Ship Robert, of Baltimore, to sail in 3 or 4 days.
Ship John, M'Neil, of Philadelphia.
Ship Susannah, Lightburn, of Charlestown to sail soon for London.
Brig Bellona, Gale, of Boston, do. do.
Brig ——, Coffin, for New-York, sail soon.
Brig ——, Holland, of Newburyport, and an hermaphrodite brig from do. just arrived. A northward built schooner, name unknown, was going into Embden, as capt. E. came out.

The Harriet, capt. Martin, was to leave Hamburg about the 25th October, for Baltimore.
November 27, spoke the United States schooner Experiment, capt. Maley, out 6 days from the Capes, in lat. 29, 32, long. 67, all well.

Just Published, A COMPENDIOUS SYSTEM Of Practical Surveying and Abiding of land; briefly comprised under the following heads, viz.
TWENTY-THREE Geometrical Definitions, eleven Geometrical Propositions, exhibiting to view the properties and dependencies of triangles; followed by problems and examples preparatory to Trigonometry, heights and distances. Then fifteen problems and examples necessarily previous to calculating a Survey succeeded by seven surveys, the area of the four first is found geometrically, and of the whole number by difference of latitude and departure, showing how to take an inaccessible boundary, find the bearing and distance of the closing line without running it, also the distances to an inaccessible corner from the two adjacent corners, followed by examples of offsets to winding streams of water, showing how to ascertain the area without the trouble of measuring the windings with chains and instruments—a crooked water course straightened, and a quantity of land on each side found by these offsets.
Ten examples of dividing land, with many subdivisions, leading into the most critical circumstances that can occur in practice; an example of Intersections, and an example showing how the bearings of a field may be truly taken where the needle is attracted, altho' the attraction may vary in quantity and direction at every station; examples showing the method of measuring by the chain only. All the rules are clear and explicit. This work contains the tables of difference of latitude and departure and of logarithms.
Orders sent to Joseph and James C. Lockhart, Booksellers, No. 87, High-street, Philadelphia, Bonfair and Niles, 173, Market Street, Baltimore, or the Subscriber in Wilmington (Del.) will be duly attended to.

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 described, viz. beginning at the North West corner of the seven ranges of townships, and running thence five miles 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 Tuigcarora 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 to run to the place of beginning; has been divided into townships of five miles square, and fractional parts of townships; and that plans 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 register will however be made of any less quantity than a quarter township, or four thousand acres.
The priority of allocation 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 elected 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 location 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, this day and year above mentioned. OLIVER WOLCOTT. Sec. of the Treasury.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT. May 29th, 1799. THE proprietors of certificate issued for subscriptions to the Loan bearing interest at eight per centum per annum, are notified, that at any time after payment shall have been made during the first ten days of the month of July ensuing, Certificates of Funded Stock may at their option be obtained at the Treasury or Loan Offices, respectively, for the amount of the four first instalments, or one moiety of the sums expressed in the subscription certificates.—No certificates of Funded Stock will however be issued for less than one hundred dollars.
SCHUYLKILL PERMANENT BRIDGE. For the information of the Stockholders in the company, incorporated for the erection of a Permanent Bridge over the river Schuylkill, and others of our fellow citizens who are desirous of this useful undertaking should succeed, it is thought expedient and proper, by the President and Directors of that company to state the present situation of its affairs.
THE company was incorporated on the 27th day of April, 1798; and by a clause in the law authorizing this incorporation, the legislature may resume the rights, &c. granted to the company, if they do not "proceed to carry on the work" in two years, and complete the bridge in five years, after they had been incorporated.
As soon as practicable, the company proceeded to the choice of the officers required by law, and the President and Directors have been constant in their endeavours to encrease the number of subscribers to the stock. The number of shares subscribed when the company was organized, was 5216. With all the exertions made since, it is now only 5638; though of the 13,000 contemplated by law, 12,000 (at ten dollars each) are allotted for the active capital of the company.
As the public opinion, coinciding with that of the President and Directors, appeared to be fixed on the site at the west end of Market street, it was deemed a primary object to obtain from the corporation of the city, their right to the ferry at that place. Negotiations were accordingly commenced for the purpose.—These ended in a contract with the city corporation, to the following effect—
1. 5,000 dollars to be paid to the city corporation when the subscriptions to the bridge stock amount to the value of 11,000 shares—a like sum in four months, thereafter with interest—5,000 dollars further in eight months—and the like sum in twelve months, with interest.
2. The city corporation takes, as payment for 20,000 dollars; (to make the whole consideration 20,000 dollars) two thousand shares in the bridge stock, on terms detailed in the contract.
3. The 11,000 shares being subscribed, and the first instalment of the purchase monies paid, the right to the ferry and its enumerated appurtenances, with certain parts of the site and the brick tavern, to be conveyed to the bridge company, on their mortgaging the premises, in the contract mentioned, for 15,000 dollars, the residue of the pecuniary payments, with interest.
4. If the erection is not completed in the period fixed, or which may be fixed by the legislature, the property and rights are to revert in the corporation of the city, on terms prescribed in the contract; which contains other subordinate arrangements, too lengthy to be herein particularly detailed.
The sum agreed to be given was unavoidably determined not to take less. We deemed it difficult to make some sacrifices (if any we have made) to avoid competition injurious and embarrassing; but in the commencement and progress of our intended enterprise.
Warned by experience of the fatal consequences of beginning works, requiring extensive pecuniary support, without a certainty of being within our power, we agreed to that part of the contract requiring 11,000 shares to be actually subscribed, before it takes effect. We do not desire to conceal our indisposition to embark in this undertaking, until the number of shares subscribed shall, at least, equal that required by this contract. Nor shall we engage in the business until the instalments directed by law shall be in the treasurer's hands, to an amount sufficient to encourage us to begin the work, with solid prospects of complying with our engagements to those with whom we may contract.
flattering expectation, that, from motives of public spirit and private emolument, we shall yet be supported in our ardent wishes to complete an erection, eminently promotive of the interests, as well as the credit of our city.
The stock being in itself inviting, and the object of great public utility, as well as our own as to our publicity, we more confidently solicit subscriptions.
By order, RICHARD PETERS, President. Philadelphia, Dec. 6. (11) 3aw3w.
The Swift-Sure, A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Buffington, Newtown, Scotch Plains, Springfield 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 traveling 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 at all 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 Buffington , where it stops to breakfast; from Buffington it goes through Newtown to Pennypack to dinner; from Pennypack through Hopewell , Millstone , Boundbrook , Quintown 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 fares at New-York , application may be made to Edward Bardin , Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu , corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Many , no. 43, 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 themselves to make good every package on the following conditions. The person who delivers the package at the office must 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 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 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 sober 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 chicane or insolence is practised upon them; in short, they have spared neither pains nor expense to render the SWIFT-SURE the very best line of stages in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, 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 behaviour of their drivers, and the treatment at Taverns spoken of with the highest satisfaction.
