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 hove, and in the open ground—A large and numerous variety of such rarities is now offered for sale, being the acquisition of many years earned 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, far increased it as to render the allotted apartments not sufficiently large and commodious, is reduced 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 green-house at once. The whole collection, for that department, will be sold on 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 separately 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 Cunnings, at the Alms-house, Meffrs. David and Cuthbert Landrith, 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, Green-wich-street, New-York.

assembly with the Commons. The first act of hostility against the government—the attack of the King's troops in the garden of the Tuileries—took place on the 12th of July; and, on the 14th the populace of Paris attacked, carried and demolished the Bastille. From this period the bloody maxim was adopted, "That insurrection was the most sacred of duties." On the 4th of August, the King was proclaimed The Restorer of French Liberty; and, on the 15th of September, his person was decreed to be inviolable, and the crown of France hereditary and indivisible. On the 6th of October, the King's guards were murdered under the windows of the palace, and he and his Queen were forcibly conducted to Paris, amidst the insults of a brutal populace. January 1, 1790, the King was stripped of most of his royal prerogatives; and, on the 25th of June, all his functions were suspended, and he kept a close prisoner; and all the orders of Nobility, and all titles and armorial bearings, were suppressed. On the 4th of September, the King was restored to liberty; and, on the fourteenth, accepted of the constitution, and was crowned by the President of the National Assembly. On the 10th of August, 1792, the palace of the Tuileries was attacked and robbed; and the brave, but unfortunate, Swiss guards, and a great number of the King's friends, were massacred; and, on the 12th, the King and his family were all confined in the Temple. On the 16th of September, marriage was declared to be a civil contract, to be annulled at the pleasure of either of the parties; in consequence of which there were one hundred and fifty divorces every month, in Paris alone. On the 21st of September, royalty was abolished, and France declared a republic. On the 18th of January, 1793, the King had a mock trial, and was condemned to suffer death; and, on the 21st, in violation of humanity, justice, and their own laws, the amiable, the virtuous Louis the Sixteenth, was murdered with the most savage brutality; and murdered too by the very people who, but a short time before, proclaimed him "The restorer of French Liberty," and decreed his person "to be inviolable." About this period, M. Dupont, in a debate on the subject of establishing public schools (the good old system having already been done away for the education of youth, pronounced a discourse, before the National Convention, in favor of Atheism, which was loudly applauded by all the members, except two or three of the Clergy. "What!" said this abandoned miscreant, "Thrones are overturned! Sceptres broken! Kings expire! and yet the Altars of God remain! A single breath of enlightened reason will now be sufficient to make them disappear. Nature and Reason, these ought to be the gods of men! These are my Gods! Admire nature—cultivate reason. And you, Legislators, if you desire that the French people should be happy, [O! terrible delusion!] make haste to propagate these principles, and to teach them in your schools, instead of those fanatical principles which have hitherto been taught. For myself, I honestly avow to the Convention, I am an Atheist."
"This daring rejection of the supreme Creator and Ruler of the world," says a learned writer, in commenting on this discourse, "is striking, with a vigorous stroke, for from opposing those who came to cut off his hair, and bind his hands. "Do with me," said he, "what you will, it is the last sacrifice." He then made a motion with his hand to obtain silence. "I die perfectly innocent of all the pretended crimes laid to my charge—I forgive all those who have had any hand in my misfortunes, and I pray that my blood may be of use in restoring happiness to France—and you, unhappy people! — At these words, the unfeeling Sans-ceres gave orders that the drums should beat, crying out to the King, "that he had not brought him there to die again, but to die." At that instant his head was severed from his body! —"
It is said, that after crying out, "Vive la Nation!" "Vive la Republique!" some volunteers dipped their pikes, and others their handkerchiefs, in the blood of the victim. One person alone had the courage to cry out, "Grace, and was instantly cut down with a sabre."
Thus died Louis XVI. King of France and Navarre. He was born the twenty-third of August, 1754, ascended the throne the tenth of May, 1774, and reigned eighteen years and three months. The following dates, relative to the demise of this Prince, have been brought together and contrasted.
21st April, 1770, Marriage of Louis of Vienna. 21st June, 1770, Rejoicings at Paris on account of his marriage. 21st January, 1772, Festival on the birth of the first Dauphin. 21st June, 1791, the King's flight to Varennes. 21st September, 1792, Abolition of Royalty. 21st January, 1793, Louis beheaded.
Of the sanguinary Members of the Convention who voted for the King's death forty have been guillotined—six have killed themselves, four have been assassinated—two were in a field, and one died in front—in less than four years after that unhappy event, to wit:
at the root of all human happiness. It is tearing up the very foundation of human hope, and extirpating every true principle of human excellence. It is annihilating the very existence of virtue, by annihilating its motives, its sanctions, its obligations, and its end." Such indeed have been its direful effects. The people of France who have adopted those detestable—those destructive opinions, have already become more ferocious and cruel, and have committed greater enormities, than perhaps, the most savage people that ever existed. Their territory has been converted into a vast slaughter-house, and has continued such even to the present time; for we find in the Aurora of this day, (August 13, 1799) under the Paris head of the 27th of May, last, that "François de Nantes called the attention of the Council of Five Hundred, to the murders and assassinations which every where deluged with blood the territory of the republic. He lamented, that the revolution had so far degenerated, that it seemed to have become the martyrology of ITS AUTHORS!" Shortly after Dupont uttered his deleterious speech, the public worship of the Deity was abolished, and inscriptions were placed on the burying places—"That death is only an eternal sleep." On the 20th of September, the Christian era and Sabbath were also abolished, and a new mode was adopted of dividing days and years, called the Republican Calendar. On the 11th of November, the festival of reason, as they termed it, was celebrated in the cathedral of Paris, and the wife of Montmore (who afterwards lost her head on the scaffold) was appointed to receive, naked, that homage which was deemed the Almighty. This festival was, by the 12th of December following, celebrated in the same manner, in all the cities of France; and, at Lyons, the republicans, after inhumanly murdering near five thousand of the inhabitants, celebrated the festival of an altar, in derision of religious worship. On the 29th of November, the orator of the students of the new republican school came to the bar to assure the Convention, that he and his comrades detest God. Thus Dupont had laid the diabolical satisfaction of beholding the effects of his labors on the rising generation; and he was also gratified in seeing "the Altars of God" demolished—for the churches were indiscriminately robbed, and either wholly shut up, or profaned by this blasphemous worship of naked harlots, who personated the goddesses of reason. The Ministers of Religion, and those who adhered to them, were either banished, or murdered daily throughout France, and their property confiscated. Many other events, that are as strongly marked by "Irreligion, Vanity, and a total want of all serious principle, and a misapplication of the refinements of civilization," might be brought forward; but, the Editor has neither room, nor inclination, to detail them. He will, therefore, conclude this article with a translation of some Latin lines, which were quoted by Lemercier, in the year 1618, and which, he says, were written by a Protestant Advocate of the Parliament of Paris fifty years before that time; "or rather," he adds, "by an Angel, who dictated them to him:"—
"In the dark volume of resistless fate, What changes menace wretched Gallia's State; In one, one luckless, yet approaching hour The Roman Pontiff's arrogated power; The massy infamy, the Priest, a sacred train, Who tims honou'd rise with zeal madain; Weak mortals, raised to the empurean throne, Gods that man's base and wretched fabric own; Powers that the foul in flavish fetters bind, Debase the noble nature of mankind; With their own phantoms scare his gaudy eyes; And every way except their own device; These, "whilst Eternal Justice rules this ball"; These, these, by Heaven's own high behest, shall fall; In emules ruin and confusion hurl'd, A DREAD EXAMPLE to a WOND'RING WORLD."
Extract of a letter from Porto Rico, 10th September.
"I have seen the orders of general Desfoursaux, of Guadalupe, to the captains of privateers—they are to take all Americans coming from or bound to any port whatever—in consequence thereof six privateers have already failed, and as many more commissions have been received a few days since. So that the risk will be very great to Americans in general, and particularly as there are no vessels of war belonging to the United States to be seen in these seas."

THAT the tract of Land herein after described, to-wit : "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 Tuscarora 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.

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 locaters. 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 Locaters, with assurances that we will locate every person's 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, or 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. MARTIN BAUM, WILLIAM C. SCHENCK. Philadelphia, Oct. 9, 1799. eow. 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, claim 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. 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. September 3 mwftf. CATTLE.

WILLIAM COBBETT HAS JUST PUBLISHED (PRICE 1 DOL. 50 CENTS) THE BAVIAD AND MÆVIAD. 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 Gentlemen 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 amusement 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 minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, in the Poetical Epistle , which is prefixed to it, and which must be extremely gratifying to every lover of literature in this country, as it is a proof that there are Americans 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. Somerville, Maiden Lane, New-York, also to Mr. Hill Baltimore, and to Mr. Young, Charleston. Copies will be sent to Bosten and other places, as soon as on account of order. may 28
TERMS Of Richard Pownell, 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. 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 2 dollars, 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars, whole bound, but as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable reduction 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 every thing, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost invaluable. 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. To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. THE MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia, Respectfully represents, That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Pownell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he hath obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated 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 copies 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 Bushnell, 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 thoroughfare 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 soil, 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 Bullittown, where it stops to Breakfast; from Bullittown 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 Edward Bardyn, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John streets, to B. Mary, 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 12 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 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 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 labor 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.
