AT a special meeting of the Board of property in Lancaster, June 24, 1799.
Present, Daniel Broadhead, Sec. Gen. John Hall, Secretary, Francis Johnston, Reg. Gen. of the Land office. The petition of Thomas Stewardson on behalf of himself and the other trustees for the estate of Samuel Caldwell, surviving partner of James Meece, bearing date Philadelphia, 5th Month 17th 1799, stated as follows, viz. That a certain John Collins had in consequence of fraudulent deeds poll, obtained patents for two certain tracts of land, one situate in the county of Northumberland, surveyed to Samuel Caldwell in pursuance of a warrant dated in 1774; and the other situate new in Luzerne county, surveyed to said Caldwell by a warrant also dated in 1774 and requested that patents might be granted, for the said tracts, to William Crammond, Edward Tulghman, John Ahlley, and Thomas Stewardson, trustees of the estate of Samuel Caldwell, surviving partner of James Meece, as the said two tracts were part of the estate of Meece and Caldwell. Whereupon the Board having considered the same, ordered that at least sixty days notice be given in one of the Philadelphia newspapers, and in the Lancaster Journal to the said Collins or his assigns, to appear before the Board on the first Monday in October next, to show cause if any he or they have, why patents should not issue for the said two tracts to the said trustees agreeably to the prayer of the said petition.

From the Farmers' Museum. And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul, all the valiant men arose, and went at night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there. And they took their bones and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days."

From the barren uniformity of cloistered life, and the still more arid lessons of solemn pedantry, I used to escape, each vacation, and meet, at a parsonage, Wit and Learning, attired in priestly grey. Here, after being "long detained, in the obscure sojourn" of a college cell, I could reascend to the realms of Fancy, and "feel the sovereign vital lamp" of Genius. Here, I lost my tutors, and found a friend. It was like the exchange of armour between Glaucus and Diomedes; it was brass for gold.
One day, in the study of this liberal levite, whom I heartily wish was copied in every thing, "but his nonconformity," and who ought to preach in Westminster Abbey rather than in a dissenting conventicle, I picked up one of his neglected sermons. It was Shandean; and the eccentric prebendary of York might have bound it up with his own. As this sermon gave the first hint to that style of Lay Preaching, which I have, for some years, employed; as it was a model of ease and sentiment in alliance; and as its text was that which I have selected for my present speculation, I could not deny myself the pleasure of complimenting a curate, who deserves to be a Bishop, and if there be any merit in the following thoughts, it is ascribable to him, whose elegant homilies "inspired easy my unpremeditated page." In pursuing his track, I shall be acquitted of plagiarism, when my readers remember my prodigal use of inverted commas, and my care to give credit for borrowed thought and expression.
But, while I am thus wandering, the men of Jabeshgilead seem to be forgotten. This would be too shameful an Act of Oblivion. It shall not pass; for they deserve a long and honourable memorial. The inhabitants of the above Oriental village, are introduced with some abruptness to the acquaintance of the student of the book of Samuel. At the very bottom of the first volume of the prophecy, in a kind of postscript to the work, is found the narrative of their funeral rites paid to the family of Saul. Not the smallest reason appears for this posthumous service. On the contrary, it looks not only odd, but unmerited, and even impious. For, during whose page, immediately preceding this circumstance, we find nothing but a shameful catalogue of Saul's crimes. To bitter envy of the favoured David's talents, he adds a contempt of the ordinances of the Supreme Being, and neglect of the mandates of his prophets. In a nocturnal visit to the enchantress of Endor, he employs infernal and necromantic arts to disturb the repose of the tomb; and concludes a life of violence, cruelty, and madness by an act of suicide. One would suppose that in those holy times, the bones of so bad
a man would long have been suffered to whiten the mount of Gilboa; and that not even a common sepulture would have been indulged to a body, prematurely destroyed by an irreligious prince. Here is a mystery; and on the first view of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead, in mourning weeds, under "the wall of Bethshan," we are astonished at their zeal for the interment of this monarch. That all the valiant men of a respectable district should arise, and hasten by night to Bethshan, which it must be observed, was a hostile city, in Philistia; that they should take the bones of one, whom Heaven had abandoned, and who had been his own destroyer; that they should expose themselves to the chance of death, or capture, in an enemy's country; that mocking this terror, and even the still greater one, of the vengeance of the skies, they should take the remains of the flagitious Saul, and, with dirges due and sad array, follow them to the humble Norai of primæval burial, and deposit them "under a tree" of their own groves, "and that the poignancy of their grief should be such as to induce a fast seven days, all these circumstances are, apparently, the incidents of wild romance, or like the adventures of the Venetian Moor, they are "strange, passing strange." But let us develop the occult cause of this conduct, and inquire whether these "mourners, going about the streets" of Bethshan, cannot be justified, nay, admired. As they are all valiant men, it is hard to suppose that so shining a virtue as Courage, should be disgraced by mad and vicious companions. Bravery, like the son of Tobias, is "of a good flock," and when you tell me of a good soldier, I look to see him invested, not only with the gorget and suit of military splendour, but with the more lustrous ornament of the manly virtues; the mantle of Charity, and "the breast plate of Righteousness."
Whether this expectation is generally realized or not, it is fully so in the case of these valiant men of the east; and, as will immediately appear, their conduct, as simply described by the holy narrator, presents one of the most affecting and honorable instances of political and personal gratitude, to be found in the immense tablet of historical composition.
In the eleventh chapter of Samuel, we find a clue, that guides us, at once, through the labyrinth of the above mystery. At the commencement of Saul's reign, Nahal, a prince of the House of Ammon, whose trade was rapine and blood, waged war with Jabeshgilead. Its inhabitants propose a treaty of peace, which the haughty invader cruelly proposes to clog with the sanguinary and infamous condition of the extinction of their right eyes. Whether in that early period of their history, the inhabitants were few, defenceless, and incapable of opposing a formidable foe; or in their senators, like those which have composed and disgraced more modern councils, were willing to yield to ignominious exaction, is not ascertained. But whether weakness, or baseness predominated, it is known that the elders of the country implored the truce of a week; and, meanwhile, Saul is apprised of their calamitous situation. His subjects wept, and the monarch sympathized. Indignation at the wrongs of his neighbours, and pity for their misfortunes, dictated a summary and gallant process. He marches against, and defeats the Ammonites, and the men of Jabesh retain their freedom.
They were the ancestors of that weeping band, whom we have seen performing a solemn office to the dead. It was during the youth of Saul that he avenged the men of Jabesh upon the Ammonites. Many years had elapsed since this brilliant military exploit, which preserved the eyes, and independence of a threatened people. Saul had degenerated from the virtues of his youth, had lost the confidence of an inspired Mentor, had forfeited the favor of heaven, had surrendered himself up to Vice, had lost an army, and, to add to his disgrace, it was by Philistine soldiers he was conquered; had lost three sons, and, finally, losing Hope itself, had fallen on his own sword. He is prone on the mountains of Gilboa, without a friend to close his eyes.
"Fallen from his high estate, And weltering in his blood." Those, whom he had rescued from the Ammonites are all as lifeless as he. Then who is there to mourn for Saul and Jonathan? It was the descendants of those, whom Saul had once protected. For, when this grateful race heard the melancholy tidings of the defeat and death of the deliverer of their ancestors, what was their arrangement? Was it oblivious of a remote obligation; or did selfishness whisper, that an old benefit, like an old haund, was a worthless supernumerary? No; a prompt and noble Gratitude appeared, nor did it come alone. It was associated with bravery. "All the valiant men arose." Through the mist of ages, I see you, gallant soldiers your posture erect, but your eyes overflowing. A brave man has, generally, "a tear for pity." You remembered what Saul once was, and how he had preferred your progenitors. You forgot nothing but his disgrace and his vices. You had heard that "the battle went sore" against a benefactor, that cruel archers had wounded, and the javelin of a daffair had killed him. You hastened with military and grateful ardour, your nocturnal march through a hostile region. You buried the bones of your benefactor, with simple and rustic rites, and the memory of your tears, your respect for the dead, and your fasting, shall never fade away. Sensibility shall erect to your virtue

Modern Religious Style. "O! the mad days that I have spent! and to see how many of mine old acquaintances are dead! certain! 'tis certain! very sure! very sure! Death, as the psalmist saith, is certain to all; all shall die! How fell a good yoke of bullocks at Bostou market?"

SLUTS. "She is all greave; and I know not what use to put her to, but to make a lamp of her, and run from her by her own light. I warrant her rags and the tallow in them will burn a Poland winter. If she lives till Doom's day, she'll burn a week longer than the whole world."
A few lines for modern lovers, of the first families, without adequate education, to commit to memory, the more fluent to pronounce, in the days of courtship, to their Dulcinea's. "I swear to thee, by Cupid's strongest bow, By his best arrow with the golden head, By the simplicity of Vnus' doves, By that, which knitteth souls and propers loves; And by that fire, which burn'd the Carthage queen. When the false Trojan under sail was seen; By all the vows which ever men have broke. In number more than ever women spoke As to suck the honey of the sweetest lip, Should I be glad to spend an eve with thee." ADD.
THE WALK OF AL RASCHID AT the court of the Caliph Mafa Al Raschid, lived an old man by name Al Raschid, on whom the petty courtiers exercised their wit, whom the ladies disliked, and who, during seventy-six years, had been fourteen times banished from the presence of his sovereign, because some unpleasant truth was forever dropping from his lips. He laughed at banishment, for in the garden of nature he always found the best company; and the court fourteen times recalled him, because it was perceived he could be happy at a distance from the court. During one of the periods of his punishment, as he was tracing the path of wisdom in his retirement, he was lucky enough to gain a knowledge in the language of animals. From that moment, his favourite amusement was in listening to them, and found that they often talked more rationally than the great men who surrounded the Caliph's throne. He one day observed upon the leaves of a bush a colony of those insects called Ephemera, on whom the Creator has affixed the end of their existence almost close to the hour of their birth—for they are born and die in the same day. Al Raschid attentively approached a small group of them, and perceived they were engaged in a violent dispute; but as they were all talking together, it was long before he could discover the subject of their controversy. At length when the most vociferous among them had bawled till they were tired, he found that their conversation had turned upon two foreign virtuoses, who were just arrived.—These were a humble bee and a gnat upon whose pre-eminence the opinions of the ephemera were much divided. One side maintained that the humble bee sung the finest babs which had ever been heard throughout the empire of insects, while the other defended the fascinating treble of the gnat. "Happy race!" exclaimed Al Raschid, "who in spite of the few hours allotted to your existence, can thus amuse yourselves with the babs of a bee, and the treble of the gnat." With a smile, he turned his ear to one of the oldest ephemera, who sat alone upon a leaf, and uttered the following soliloquy. "The most celebrated philosophers of our nation, who lived many hours before me, have asserted that this world cannot last, longer, than eighteen hours, and methinks they were right. For when I consider how much that great globe of fire, from which all nature gains existence, has, even during my time, declined towards the sea, which surrounds this earth, I cannot but suppose it will there end its career, and its torch be extinguished in the waves. The earth must then be lost in total darkness, which must naturally produce universal annihilation. Of these eighteen hours I have lived seven—four hundred and twenty minutes!—A great age!—How few among us reach this period!—I have seen whole generations rise, flourish, and decay. My present friends are the children and grand children of those whom I knew in my youth. They are gone long before me and, alas! but too soon shall I follow them. I must own—God be thanked—I feel tolerably well in my old age; yet, according to the customary course of nature, I can, at the very utmost only expect to live eight minutes more. What then avails all my industry? What avails it that with a thousand anxieties and cares I have gathered a provision of sweet dew upon this leaf, which the approaching end of my existence will not allow me to enjoy? In vain have I so often risked my life in battle for our nation. In vain have I, far from the battle of the world, endeavoured to form this colony by salutary precepts. 'Tis true, my friends flatter me that I shall leave a great name behind me; but what avails all this, if at the end of eighteen hours, the sun shall be extinguished, and the world
disolve into eternal nothingness! Oh! if I could but expect a durable fame of thirty or forty hours!" Al Raschid smiled; and immediately started at having smiled; for hours and years are as they are not the same at all!
Late Foreign Articles VIA SALEM. Further EXTRACTS from HAMBURG PAPERS. MADRID, April 23. They talk here of a general tax upon all sorts of income. Pensions, and money in stock. Many of the domains are also to be sold. Don Seb. Martinez, a merchant of Cadiz, has been appointed Treasurer General.
FRONTIERS OF SWABIA, May 9. The advices brought from Switzerland represent the troubles in that country in the most melancholy light. In the whole Waaloon country and the cantons of Uri, Schwitz and Unterwalden, the inhabitants are in insurrection, and in other parts the insurrection has been quelled. General Massena has ordered some Zurich militia, drawn for by lot, to occupy the Canton of Zug. The passage to Italy is now totally shut up. The insurgents in the canton of Uri had put on the cockade of the ancient government, White, black, and yellow. Their chief was one Vincent Schmidt. Many French soldiers have either been killed or taken by them. They will not give up the prisoners unless their demands are complied with. An extraordinary, war contribution of 2 per thousand has been laid upon landed property and capitals.
LINDAU, May 10. Notwithstanding the frontier's attack made on the 1st inst. upon the position of the French, a new attempt is to be made from Feldkirch to penetrate to Chur, in order to effect a junction with General Bellegarde, who has been reinforced by several thousands of the Grison peasantry. For this purpose all the Imperial troops stationed in our neighbourhood have broke up to Feldkirch; only two battalions will remain to guard the shore of the lake between Bregenz and Lutzenau. The troops are obliged to leave all their baggage behind at Feldkirch. Besides the whole regiment of Kinsky light-horse, three battalions from the Archduke's army have joined General Hotze and three companies of our garrison have also broke up thither. The legion of Swiss emigrants consisting of 2000 men has offered to form the advanced guard in case of an attack. Col. Williams's Flotilla is at Bregenz; and the communication with Switzerland is entirely closed.
Head quarters at Mayenfeldt, May 13. P. M. The enemy in St. Luciensteg were attacked from three sides, in their rear, by the Imperial troops, who charged with the bayonet without much firing. Thus the important redoubt was taken in a short time, only with the loss of 7 or 8 men wounded and one killed. According to all appearances, our brave troops will follow up the advantage they gained, by a fresh attack, which will take place to-morrow.
SWITZERLAND, May 13. The head quarters of the French army have not left Zurich; a few days ago general Massena held a great council of war there, after which he went to the advanced posts. Pontoon having arrived at Zurich, it is thought that gen. Massena intends to pass the Rhine, but it is more probable that he intends to reinforce his right wing in the Grison country, and that he will defer offensive operations till gen. Moreau shall likewise be able to act, which must take place shortly; for we learn that troops are marching from all parts of Italy.
MAYENFELDT, May 13. The attack which our troops made this morning upon the French was very brisk, and our loss, consequently, inconsiderable. Without much firing, they made use of the bayonet. The marksmen volunteers, who had joined gen. Jallachich's column, took two pieces of cannon near Flatsch; on the plain of Mayenfeldt our troops took also 6 pieces of cannon, and several ammunition waggons. The French retreated over the bridges of Ragatz and Chur, across the Rhine. In the latter place, two companies of Grenadiers were taken prisoners. We have taken, this day, both near Luciensteg and in other places, much more than 3000 prisoners, and, altogether, 13 pieces of cannon.
MANHEIM, May 10. The French troops which came down the Rhine, from the environs of Strasburg, have advanced to Mentz. On the 9th, a division of light artillery went from hence to Spires, whither General Colaud has also repaired.
On the 19th ult. the first column of the Russian auxiliary army in British pay, which had been delayed, owing to bad weather, arrived at Gain, six leagues from Lemburg, where they will remain till the other columns, from which the former had been separated, by the breaking of the dykes of a large pond, shall have reached the appointed stations.
HAGUE, May 14. There are continual rumours here of a maritime expedition; and the company of riding artillery at Harlem will, it is said be employed in it. It is further mentioned, that part of the country of Cleve, is now occupied by the French.

At the mouth of the Ems, near what is called the Wats, a small flotilla of English armed vessels is arrived.
LINDAU, May 16.
This morning 4 companies of French troops have again been taken prisoners. A corps, consisting of some battalions, has been surrounded in such a manner by the Austrians and the peasants, that it cannot escape. In the upper Grison country all the people are in insurrection, in short, the whole Grison country is conquered.
LEMBURG, April 17.
According to letters from Russia, the Emperor has resolved to collect another numerous army, on his frontiers, to employ them wherever it may be necessary.
LONDON, May 21.
BUONAPARTE's idea of tranquillizing Egypt reminds us of the speech of GALLACUS, where he describes the enormities of the Romans—ubi SOLITUDINEM faciunt, PACEM appellant. If Egypt, ravaged and unpeopled, be capable of disturbing the peace of the French, it is an extraordinary phenomenon.
By private letters from Portugal it seems to be evident that the sailing of the Brest fleet was combined with a very considerable movement in Spain, which justifies the supposition that they are going thither in the first instance to facilitate their junction with the Cadiz fleet. The ships that sailed from Ferrol, having missed the French, have put into the road of Aix, where the troops are landed, and are to be employed in the interior of the country, probably to serve in the French garrisons, in order to enable them to dispatch their own troops to the reinforcement of their armies in Switzerland and Italy. These are not the only troops that seem destined for this purpose. Numbers of Spanish regiments are marching down to the ports of the Bay of Biscay, and particular towards St. Sebastian, and other places near the French frontier, from whence it is understood they are to be sent into France. The Spanish militia are also marching down to the coast, and a considerable body of troops are assembled at Corunna, of which an Irish officer, Gen. O'Farrell, has the command. This circumstance seems to countenance the idea that the armament is still finally destined against Ireland; and it is upon these appearances that those who still suppose the expedition to be directed against that kingdom chiefly rely. We rejoice to find that the movements in Spain did not escape the unremitting vigilance of Earl St. Vincent, who, it seems collected all his ships, and had actually with him 21 sail of the line. Those who know the noble Admiral will not readily believe that the French will be able to pass him unobserved.
Accounts from the fleet off the Texel state, that the most busy preparations were on Wednesday making for the sailing of the Dutch squadron, which then consisted of 15 sail of the line. There were two other vessels of like denomination in a state of considerable forwardness. Admiral Dickson's fleet comprised the Monarch, and Ganges, of 74 guns, the Monmouth, Ardent, Agamemnon, America, Belliqueux, Nassau, Director, Veteran, and Prince Frederick, of 64, and Madras, of 54.
Whatever may be the grand and definitive object of the fleet which has sailed from Brest a co-operation is easily perceptible in the various ports of Holland and Spain. In the Texel, a fleet of 12 sail of the line and frigates is ready for sea, apparently expecting the arrival of an external force to deliver it from the blockade in which it has been so long held by our squadron in the North Sea; at Cadiz, private accounts have already informed us that the French force was expected there; and it is now added, that it is to bring with it officers to take the command of the Spanish ships. It is not easy to believe the Spanish character can have so rapidly declined, and sunk into the gulf of cowardice and treachery, that they should wantonly deliver up the fleet and arsenal of their country to their oppressors. It must be considered as proceeding from the proud and unblemished character of their nation, and their horror of the very name and surface of treachery, that they did not dispose of their fleet in a very different manner, and join with the British colors to revenge the injuries and the insults they reluctantly submit to from the intrigues of their court, and the want of energy in their Sovereign.
Extract of a letter from Elsinore, May 29.
"By a letter from Bergen of the 20th ult. we learn, that Le Tonnerre, French lugger privateer, of Dunkirk, capt. Norton, of 20 guns and 50 men, had arrived there, and reports that 36 other privateers were ready to sail from Dunkirk, and 12 to be equipped in a short time. Letters from Gottengburg also mention the arrival there of several French privateers, for provisions, &c."
The massacre of the French deputies at Rastadt must be deplored as one of the heaviest and most unlooked-for misfortunes which could, at this time, have happened to Europe; a crime not only unprofitable to the cause of those who appear to have committed it, but probable in the highest degree to the tottering government and trembling usurpers of France. The Directory will not fail to issue manifesto upon manifesto, and call upon that violated code of public law which they have never hitherto respected, and upon the contempt and annihilation of which they have marched from usurpation to usurpation, and from massacre to massacre. That law, which they have trampled on at Paris by the expulsion and imprisonment of foreign ministers, they will invoke to avenge the murder of their own. To that law, which
they have blotted out in the gore of the Swiss as Underwald, and which they have swept off in torrents of human blood wherever their arms and their crimes have carried them, they will now appeal, and in its name, perhaps, arouse and animate anew the jaded enthusiasm of their wretched countrymen.
A single act of barbarity committed against those who have driven civilization from the world, who have rendered their own nation ferocious and bloody, who have, by the subtlety of their perfidious sophisms, and the grossness of their sensual seductions, corrupted and depraved the human character itself, and degraded man and the dignity of his nature, one single deed of retaliation, though from private hands, and the avarice or fury of banditti—one act of vengeance for a series of oppressions—one example of their own contagion—one unhappy comment upon their own doctrines and practice, may turn the tide of opinion; and dressed up in the exaggerated colours of an eloquent perversion, may aim the reliques of their population against the deliverers of the world, who mourn and detect the crime, and are punishing the criminals.
MILAN, May 12.
Proclamation of Field-marshal Suwarow. "NATIONS OF ITALY! Take up arms; unite under banners which are fighting for God and the Faith; and you shall triumph over perfidious enemies. The army of his Majesty our most exalted Emperor and King are fighting (provoked by the French) and shedding their blood in defence of our holy religion, for the recovery of your property, and the reëtablissement of your former government. Do not the French demand every day immense sums of you! do they not command uncommon requisitions!—And all is under the chimera name of liberty and equality, which are even so painful to the heads of families, deprive them of their dear children, and force them to take up arms and fight against your lawful Sovereign, your loving father and most zealous defender? Nations, be of comfort! There is a God who protects, and arms who defend you.—See the number of troops! See a new complete army sent by the allied Emperor of Russia; behold those prudent nations, every where full of enthusiasm, to terminate the bloody war in the most speedy manner.—That faithful, numerous army, consisting of brave warriors, comes to deliver Italy. Fear nothing; wherever the armies combating against the French Republic shall come, you shall see the laws restored, religion exalted, and private and public tranquility revived, which has been for this three years past under a heavy yoke. The faithful minifiers of religion, too, shall be reinstated in their offices and property. But hear! should there ever be found among you one so perfidious, that shall either take arms against our Sovereign, or favor in any manner the enterprises of the French Republic—such a perfidious man shall immediately be shot, without regard to birth, rank, office or condition; and his family, houses and property shall be persecuted and destroyed. Your prudence, nations of Italy gives hopes that being now convinced of the justice of the cause, you will furnish no occasion of inflicting those rigorous measures and irremissible punishments, but that you manifest proofs of your fidelity and attachment towards so beneficent and loving a sovereign. (Signed) I. SUWARROW."

BOSTON, July 24.
More late European News.
We received by an arrival yesterday, 44 days from Bristol:—in London papers to July 5.
The hostile fleets arrest the most prominent attention. By the Paris papers, it is certain the French fleet got safe into Toulon, the 13th May; lying half a day before Cartagena, and passing in sight of Ivice, Majorca, and Minorca. The Spanish was part at Cartagena, and part on the African coast. The English are in search after them every where.
Naples is evacuated by the French.—Two columns from thence entered Rome the 29th April; and divisions of the Austro-Russian armies were marching towards Lucca, to cut them off from joining Moreau.
In Italy the confederates still command success, and deserve it.—It is said, however, Moreau has taken measures to check their progress. In Switzerland, the Austrians have been successful. So also in the Grison country.
Our readers may rely, that the French are not only harassed by the confederate armies; but suffer severe and daily loss from insurrections of the people in Switzerland and Italy, against them.
The French directory make but short prayers to the councils. They insist that three things are wanting to check the enemy; and they are, Money, Money, Money. The Abbe Sieyes has been chosen a director, vice Rewbell; and Jean Debry, the scape-goat from Ralladt, President of the Council of Five Hundred.
FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES.
We are told, that the election of the hon. Mr. Bishop, in the third Southern district will be contested. We recollect that Phanuel Bishop was once chosen senator for Bristol county, by the name of Penuel Bishop; and that his election, on account of the misnomer was set aside. We were then, in a great degree, indebted to the venerable Mr. Adams, President of the Senate, for the exclusion of a man from the councils of the commonwealth, who was then believed to be opposed to the existence of our government.
The same man is now chosen member of congress, by another misnomer—that of Phanuel Bishop, instead of Phanuel Bishop.—Why then should not the rule of 1787, operate in 1799? It is generally thought his friendship for our federal government is no greater than it was for the government of this state.

ALEXANDRIA, July 25.
The Schooner Thomas, Capt. Joseph Sandford, of this port, arrived here yesterday from Surinam, after a passage of 19 days. To the friendly care of Capt. Sandford, and Mr. John Moore, the Supercargo. I am indebted for a list of American vessels laying at Paramaribo when she failed. I have also received from the polite attention of Capt. James Crowder Hill who came passenger in the Thomas a full account of the capture of the Schooner Cornelia, of this port, by a French privateer sloop. The Cornelia was commanded, and partly owned, by Capt. Crowderhill, and was taken as she was entering the river to go up to port. The privateer which had taken the Cornelia had also captured the following vessels:—The Brig George, Higgins, Baltimore; the Schooner John, Yard, Philadelphia; and the brig Industry, Verry, Boston. The list of vessels, the particulars respecting the captures, and several other remarks shall appear in the next Mirror.
AUGUSTA, July 6.
The anniversary of American Independence was celebrated at this place in a manner becoming the patriotic seal of its inhabitants—The Richmond county regiment under the command of lieutenant colonel Watkins, paraded at Campbell's green in the morning, and after performing a variety of military evolutions, marched in order to St. Paul's Church, where, at the request of the volunteer corps, an eloquent and patriotic oration was delivered by William J. Hobby, Esq. to a large and approving audience. From thence the military marched to the Federal Square, where a federal salute closed the evolutions of the day. The volunteer corps of Artillery and Light Infantry with their guests sat down to an elegant dinner which had been prepared for them at major Durkee's, where the following toasts were drank accompanied by music and alternate firing of cannon and platoons.
The President of the United States. Our illustrious commander in chief, Gen. George Washington.
Timothy Pickering—May we ever be mindful of his energy in uniting application with talents, to oppose the prostitution of American liberty to Gallic despotism.
The rising navy of the United States.
The people of the United States—May they never court a fraternal embrace from the bosom in which a dagger is concealed.
The American youth—May their soldierly vigilance convince the myrmidons of France, that they know how to defend their rights, against the encroachments of lawless conquest and ambition.
The Army of the United States—May American glory be their objects, and the affections of a grateful people their reward.
May American hemp be the reward of domestic traitors, and American bullets the portion of external foes.
Captain Truxton, may his excellent lessons of American bravery, be a preface to an acknowledged superiority of American seamen.
The American Eagle, may the strength of its talons be displayed on the Gallic Cock.

The best guarantees of the security and honor of the United States, as Prince Lu-gene said of the Pragmatic sanction, are a good army and navy, soldiers well disciplined, and appointed, fortresses well provided, and the finances in good order. This was the sentiment of a sagacious and highly experienced officer; how then does it happen, that an army and navy, soldiers well disciplined, fortresses well provided, and the finances in good order, to support and maintain these establishments, have been, and still are opposed by the different tribes of Democrats?
These partisans of France do not relax, although their object has become visible as the sun at noon-day, in every part of the Union. Some write common place Philippians against the army and navy; a lesser fry, glean, distort and relate, in news-papers of their own kidney, little affrays between individual officers and citizens; others of still smaller capacity employ themselves to set up drum heads by stealth, and impede the recruiting service, by malicious reports and insinuations; while Duane openly in his writings, and orations, encourages the brigands to prepare for a trial of strength, and embodies a corps of men, unformed a la Francois.

The Swift-Sure, A NEW LINE OF STAGES, NOW RUNNING BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK, By the short and pleasant road of Burlington, Newtown, Scotch-Plains, Springfield and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populousness of the country through which it passes, with many 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 Thorough-Fare from Philadelphia to New York. During the present year, a minute survey of it has been taken, and its superiority over the Old Road, both in winter and summer, has been clearly ascertained. - There are good bridges over all the other waters but the Delaware, and here the crossing is performed with great safety and in less than half the time required at the Trenton Ferry. The road is several miles shorter than the old road, but this is 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 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 Burlington, where it stops to breakfast; from Burlington 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 Bardin, Old Coffee house, to A. Mathieu, corner of Nassau and John Streets, to B. Many, no. 28, 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 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 influence 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 spoke of with the highest satisfaction.

[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 former ones, as it contains by way of notes, the minor productions of the author; and, it has an advantage over every other edition, the Postical 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 Genius of other nations.
