Nevertheless, he undertakes, however complicated the case, to effect a cure without inconvenience or injury to the patient's constitution, and in time not generally experienced or expected. N. B.

The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 19
To THOMAS JEFFERSON, Esquire, Vice President of the United States and President of the Senate.
SIR, YOUR arrival at the seat of government immediately after the publication of a letter...
1. Because it implies a contradiction of those sentiments respecting our excellent constitution...
You stated truly when you represented all our proprietors of land as friendly to republican principles...
Supposing for an instant, what I can by no means admit, that such is the present situation of our country...
But I am perhaps intruding upon your time, and taking up some moments which might be more profitably employed...
A NATIVE AMERICAN. This letter, with a wish, that if the writing ascribed to you is spurious it may be disowned.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Wednesday, May 18.
Mr. Coit moved that a Standing Committee of revival and unfinished business be appointed.
Mr. Hartley hoped such a committee would not be appointed, as, if all the unfinished business of last session were to be reported...
Mr. Thatcher was opposed to the appointment of this committee; he was again attending to any private business...
Mr. Giles thought there was no necessity for this committee. He thought the question, however, of some importance...
Mr. Sitgreaves said, the opposition to the appointment of this committee was totally without object.
Mr. Coit said, his principal object in the motion he had made, was to attend to expiring laws.
Mr. Thatcher withdrew his objections to the motion.
Mr. Giles did not know that the appointment of this committee would protract the session...
Mr. Hartley hoped the committee would not be appointed, as he said there were from 50 to 60 private cases on the list of unfinished business...
Mr. Nicholas hoped this business would be settled so as to meet the wishes of the House.
The question being put it was carried, there being 51 votes in favor of it; and a committee of three were appointed accordingly.
committee, and then to discharge it from a great part of its duties; but having appointed the committee, he hoped this course would be taken...
Mr. Crank was not prepared to say that it would be improper to act upon any of the unfinished business of last session.
Mr. Swanwick said, whatever might be the decision of the House upon this question, there was one case which he thought in some degree connected with the subject of the President's Speech...
Mr. Giles said, if they gave way to business of this sort, they might expect to sit all the summer...
Mr. Swanwick hoped, if the present motion were agreed to, an exception would be made in favor of the case he had mentioned.
The Speaker said the exception would not be in order.
Then, Mr. Swanwick added, he should vote against the motion. As he looked on this business as of the first importance...
Mr. Mason said, it was of little consequence how the matter was determined, since, if the motion was carried, it would be in the power of any two members to bring forward any subject they pleased.
Mr. Nicholas knew that it was in the power of any two members to bring forward any private business...
The question was put and carried without a division.
Mr. Swanwick then wished the House to resolve itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the Union...
Mr. Giles observed that this would be premature, since the President had promised certain papers which were not received...
Mr. Williams said, perhaps the business would be best expedited by an adjournment, since it would allow the gentlemen on the committee appointed for the purpose...
He made a motion to that effect, which was carried. [A. D. A.]
INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE, RELATIVE TO THE AFFAIRS OF FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES.
The following correspondence, comprising the most important of the documents contained in the President's message to Congress of 19th January last...
Letter from Mr. Fauchet to Mr. Randolph. (Continued from Wednesday's Gazette.)
I have gone over in detail the different points stated in our correspondence; let us return to that part of your letter which considers the neutrality of the United States.
I conceived, Sir, that the respect and circumspection with which I had touched on this question, would have spared me the bitter reflections which your letter appears to contain on that matter.
Mr. Randolph, Secretary of State, to Mr. Fauchet. Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic. Department of State, June 13th, 1795. Sir, I HAVE not been able to acknowledge sooner your letter of the 8th, instant, which I had the honour of receiving on the same day.
these things, I only remind you of what has already come to your knowledge, and trace facts against which I know you are not less indignant than France against whom they are specially directed.
In fact from the evidently precarious situation of the neutrality of America, and from the vexations to which she is subjected, could I not show that this neutrality is in a violent situation to which the United States cannot consent...
These remarks which I have long revolved in my mind, led me, Sir, accidentally to speak to you of the treaty in my letter of the 2d of May...
which without doubt you have received upon that important subject. I conjure you Sir, to submit this reflection immediately to the President.
I have but one word more to say, Sir, on the close of your letter, in which you recur to contrasts between the present and the past. I cannot believe that the President had me in view when you insinuate on his part that endeavours are still making to injure the harmony existing between the two nations.
Accept, Sir, my esteem, J. FAUCHET.
Mr. Randolph, Secretary of State, to Mr. Fauchet. Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic. Department of State, June 13th, 1795. Sir, I HAVE not been able to acknowledge sooner your letter of the 8th, instant, which I had the honour of receiving on the same day.
If the plan, pursued in mine of the 29th ultimo, be more extensive, than the one proposed in yours of the 2d, you will ascribe the enlargement of it to my solicitude to remove every dissatisfaction, felt by the minister of our ally.
Being unable to add any other vindication in regard to the Favourite; and not being informed of the vessel going to Guadalupe, and said to have been arrested at...
Norfolk, on suspicion of infringing our neutrality; nor yet, how it supports the complaint, relative to the Favourite, I leave the subject here.
Upon this point a few words will be sufficient. Of the re-action towards Great Britain and of the reparation towards ourselves, the United States are the only legitimate judges.
There are some miscellaneous matters, which remain to be touched briefly.
We agree to submit the construction of the 17th article of the treaty to explanations between the two governments. But in the mean time I must own, that I do not feel the importance of Mr. Hammond's acknowledgement to your reasoning.
In a procedure, like this, it will not be easy to find a leaning or subserviency to G. Britain. It is a leaning and subserviency to the character of our nation.
It is with real regret, that I read in your last letter an idea, that we have not done justice to your proclamation, to your displeasure at the crew of the Concord, and to your general conduct towards our government.
I cannot conclude this letter without offering to you my sincere wishes for your happiness, and a personal assurance of the greatest respect and esteem, with which I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, EDM. RANDOLPH.

The conduct of France towards Denmark and the Hanse Towns, defeats all the reasonings of our Jacobins, who ascribe her treatment of us to the treaty with Great Britain.
The work will contain, as nearly as can be estimated, about 600 pages large octavo, fine print, on a new and neat type.
The work will be printed on three different sorts of paper, to accommodate the tastes of subscribers. Copies printed on paper of the first quality, will be delivered to subscribers, elegantly bound in calf, at three dollars each.
The work will be illustrated with six MAPS, handsomely engraved, viz. Of the Northern States - of the Southern States - of North America - of South America - of the West Indies - and of the new discovered Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
A new and valuable work has lately been published in Philadelphia - This is a comparative view of the constitutions of the several states; exhibiting in columns, the principal features of each, and the points in which they agree and disagree - by Wm. Smith of South Carolina, member of Congress.
The work has another excellence, not common in American publications - which is the fineness of the paper and the elegance of the printing. Edwin and Angelina, by Dr. Elihu H. Smith of this city, is also a production of much merit.
CANAL S.
We learn with much satisfaction, that between 3 and 400 hands are already employed in prosecuting the Western Canals - and that considerable progress has already been made in the present season.
Mr. Wilson, the Engineer, is now on his way to Skensboro' to inspect and superintend for a short time, the works of the Northern Canal, which have commenced in that quarter, with a spirit that promises important improvements in a northern inland lock navigation.
A packet boat of 25 tons, is established on Lake Ontario, to ply during the summer season, between Oswego and Niagara. HARTFORD, May 15. Extract of a letter from a Member of Congress in a neighbouring State, to his friend in Hartford, dated 18th April last.
The call for the meeting of Congress on the 15th of next month, is not more unexpected and inconvenient to me, than it is unpleasant and alarming. What will be the issue of the convulsed state of Europe, the subtle intrigues, the dark insidious policy of the French government, and the cursed machinations of the evil, ambitious, and disorganizing faction among us, on our happy government and country, God only knows.
I feel sometimes full of resentment, but it is most against the incendiaries and factious who are lurking about among us; men who breathe an air too pure for their vile contumacious principles, and who live under a government too mild for their vicious and corrupt. An interruption and eventually an annihilation of our recent happiness and prosperity is an event greatly to be deprecated, should it even be effected by the hand of an enemy. But when this evil is accelerated, and in part accomplished by citizens of our own country - by members of our own family - will it be too much to claim, "Is there not some chosen cause - some hidden thunder, in the stores of heaven, red with uncommon wrath to blast the man who owes his greatness to" and who dares attempt "his country's ruin." War is indeed a calamity at all times - and by all nations sedulously to be avoided - It is eminently so with respect to us - every consideration invites us on the one hand to seek peace and pursue it, while on the other it proclaims against war. It will require all the wisdom, firmness and moderation of the new Congress, to steer our political bark with safety through the threatening storm. May the good spirit of our country animate all their councils, and direct all their deliberation to measures which will issue in the public good.
By this day's Mail.
NEW YORK, May 18. Sir John Wentworth, Lieut. Governor, of Nova Scotia, its dependencies, &c. has issued a Proclamation dated the 23rd of March authorising the importation of the following articles into that province, viz. scantling, plank, staves, heading boards, or squared timber of any sort, bread, biscuit, flour, peas, beans, wheat, rice, barley or grain of any sort, by British subjects and in British built ships, owned by his majesty's subjects, and navigated according to law, from the 31st March to the 31st July, of which all persons whatever are hereby required to take notice.
WILMINGTON, May 18. On Monday last passed Newcastle, his Britannic majesty's ship Lion, 22 guns, captain Morgan, after conveying 27 American vessels from Hispaniola, 15 days passage. As she passed Newcastle she was saluted by a small battery, which was politely returned by the Lion with 15 guns.
PITTSBURGH, May 13. On Friday the 5th instant, a violent tornado came down the Monongahela river with irresistible fury, above the mouth of Dunlap's creek. It laid bare the bottom of the river, and mixed the flood with the clouds. At that place it took its direction to the right bank, and swept Brownsville. Several houses were blown down, and the roofs from others carried off to a great distance. Some individuals were wounded. The blast lasted about four minutes. Planks lying on the ground were lifted, and carried like the leaves of trees in the air. Some cattle were killed. It is not yet known to what distance the hurricane continued, or what further damage was done.

LONDON, March 25. The following is a copy of the petition agreed to by the common hall on Thursday - "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty, The humble address and petition of the lord mayor, aldermen, and livery of London, in common hall assembled, on Thursday the 23rd of March, 1797."
"May it please your majesty, We, your majesty's most faithful and loyal subjects, the lord mayor, aldermen, and livery of the city of London, in common hall assembled, approach the throne with deep affliction, and with the most awful apprehensions from your majesty's ministers persisting in measures which an accumulation of unprecedented calamities has manifested proving unwise and destructive, immediately tending to pervert, and even to destroy, the acknowledged principles of our justly boasted constitution. We lament that, by the evil instigation of your majesty's advisers, these nations have been plunged into a war unparalleled in misery and destruction, which has nearly ruined our commerce, impoverished our manufacturers, depopulated our country, sapped the public credit, and widely extended the most flagitious corruption."
"We most deeply deplore that your majesty's ministers, abandoning the principles they once professed, have endeavoured to prevent the remonstrances of your people, attacking the very vitals of our constitution, and depriving your subjects of liberties which their ancestors with so much energy claimed, demanded, and insisted on as their undoubted right and inheritance," and which it is our duty to transmit to our posterity pure and inviolate, and for the defence and preservation of which, your majesty's royal house was chosen, and placed upon the throne of these realms."
"We therefore most humbly beseech your majesty to dismiss forever from your majesty's presence and councils, those advisers, both public and secret, of the measures we lament, not doubting that, by a change of councils, such measures may be adopted as will speedily procure the inestimable blessings of peace, and produce such a system of economy as shall restore the public credit and the happiness of your people. But should your majesty any longer confide in such advisers, we are firmly convinced that they will completely undermine that basis of national prosperity and happiness, the reciprocal confidence of a sovereign and a free people, and inevitably destroy the boasted privileges, the internal peace, and the numerous blessings, that Britons have heretofore enjoyed."
The Sheriffs of London attended yesterday at St. James's, and waited for above two hours to have an interview with the king, to know how the address and petition for turning out his ministers, as carried in the common hall, should be brought up; when the duke of Portland delivered a verbal message that his majesty had always received addresses from the city of London in their corporate body, and not by representatives; upon which the gentlemen retired without going into the presence chamber!
VIENNA, March 2. On the 6th inst. field marshal lieutenant Mack set out from this city for the army on the Rhine, where he will take the direction in the name of the archduke Charles. Whether the duke of Saxe-Teschen will have the chief command of the army, will not be determined till the archduke Joseph, the palatine of Hungary, shall recover from his illness.
The most vigorous preparations are making for the recruiting the Italian army, which will amount to 120,000 men. The prince of Waldeck, who is to take the command of the Portuguese troops, receives from Portugal the yearly salary of 20,000 florins, with the promise of a considerable pension. The French have again attempted to pass the Piave, near Lovadino, but have been repulsed by the Austrians, with the loss of 1200 men.
BOLOGNA, Feb. 28. It is asserted here that the Pope, by a secret article in his peace with the French, has ceded his rights of sovereignty to Benevento, in the kingdom of Naples, in favor of his Sicilian majesty.
It has been hitherto supposed, that the cessions of territory made by the Pope would be in favor of the Cispadan republic; but, contrary to expectation, we find that he has yielded his rights to Bologna, Ferrara, and Romagna, in favor of the French republic: we therefore now belong to France; and the independence of our new republic is as yet doubtful.
The territory which the Pope, in his late treaty, has ceded to the French, viz. Bologna, Ferrara, Romagna, and for the present Ancona, amount to more than a fourth part of his states.
FRONTIERS OF ITALY, March 2. Two powerful armies are now collecting on the frontiers of Italy. Both the French and Austrians have brought the choicest of their troops from the armies on the Rhine to Italy. The Austrians have already 50,000, or according to others, 70,000 fighting men on the river Piava, and about 20,000 in the Tyrol, without reckoning the riflemen, or the reinforcements which are on their way from the Austrian states to Friuli, and from the Empire to Tyrol. To this formidable army, report, though a report which requires confirmation, adds 70,000 Venetian troops, as it is said that Venice has at length determined to take an active part in the war, and join the Austrians.
The French have likewise greatly augmented their force on the frontiers of Italy. The troops from the armies on the Rhine and the Meuse are arrived: a body of 18,000 men is posted in reserve from Chambery, in Savoy, to the Milanese; and two divisions are on their way to the place of action.
The archduke Charles has again returned to the army in Italy, and Gen. Buonaparte has joined the French main army from Bologna. A serious action again took place in the Tyrol, on the 24th of February. The French attacked the Austrians near Teufenbach, in three different points, in the hope of carrying Salurn, and entrenching themselves there, before the Austrian troops from the Rhine should arrive. They were, however, repulsed with considerable loss. The Austrians pursued them to Monte Corona, drove them from the entrenchments they had thrown up there, and made themselves masters of that important post. Trent is still in the possession of the French.
MENTZ, March 11. Generals Kray and Meyer will likewise go to the army in Italy. The French armies of the Sambre and Meuse and the Rhine and Moselle, begin to be in motion. French troops are despatching on all sides to Kayserlautern, Spire, Bingen, Kreuznach, &c.
The left wing of the army of the Rhine has taken post in the vicinity of Kirsheim, Polanden, communicating with the army of the Sambre and Meuse. This left wing, which is commanded by Gen. St. Cyr, has been reinforced with two divisions.
The centre is posted near Landau, Germersheim, &c. and commanded by general Duhem. The right wing, of which general Dufour has the command, extends from Lauterburg to Huningen.
General Dufour commands the whole army of the Rhine and Moselle, but under General Moreau, who directs in chief all the operations both of this army and of that of the Sambre and Meuse, which is under the command of general Hoche. On the 7th, ten French generals held a military conference at Alzey.
LONDON, March 24. Yesterday a Court of Proprietors was held at the Bank; and 3 1/2 per cent. was declared the half yearly dividend. The governor informed the court, they had not failed to make representations to ministers of the injudicious operation on their concerns, the incessant advances necessarily had; every effort to impress this truth had been used. He was happy, however, to state to the General Court, that a loan was now in a train of negotiation, and that ministers had expressly declared their intention that seven million of their advances should be paid out of this loan. Another part, that which had been made on the security of the land and malt, was daily coming in.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
MARCH 18. The house in a committee, ordered a bill to be brought in to renew parts of the corn act, allowing the importation of wheat and prohibiting its exports.
The house in a committee on the Bank Indemnification bill, passed the clause for excepting the prohibition of issuing cash for supply of the army and navy. Mr. Pitt then moved that the blank in the limitation clause be filled with the date of the 24th of June. Mr. Fox moved an amendment, that the 1st of May be inserted instead of the 24th of June. On this the house divided; Ayes 88, Noes 218.
Mr. Lublock, the banker, thought no inconvenience was likely to result to the bank, let the operation of the bill cease when it might. Abundance of cash, he was convinced, would flow into it whenever the business of it should be restored to its former principle. He himself went to the bank no longer ago than yesterday, and offered 10,000 guineas to Mr. Abraham Newland, on condition that the same sum should be returned to him whenever he might call for it; but his offer was rejected. He knew persons who would advance 50,000 guineas upon the same plan; three millions would enable the bank to go on; and he had no doubt that, upon similar conditions, that sum would be produced in 24 hours, "and a damned deal more too." [A loud laugh.] PARIS, March 18. The Italian Gazettes give us the articles
of the Treaty of Peace concluded between the Pope and the French Republic, of which the following is an authentic copy:
Art. I. There shall be peace, friendship, and good understanding between the French Republic and Pope Pius the sixth.

In order to settle finally what shall remain to be paid, in order to the complete execution of the armistice signed at Bologna, his Holiness shall provide the army with 800 cavalry horses accoutred, and 800 draught horses, bulls and buffaloes, and other objects produced from the territory of the Church.
XII. Besides the sum mentioned in the preceding articles, the Pope shall pay to the French Republic, in specie, diamonds, and other valuables, the sum of 15,000,000 of French livres tournois, of which 10,000,000 livres shall be paid in the course of March, and five in the course of April next.
XIII. The 8th article of the Treaty of Armistice signed at Bologna, concerning the manuscripts and objects of art, shall be carried into complete execution as speedily as possible.

XVI. The French shall evacuate the territory of the city of Fano, and the Duchy of Urbino, as soon as the second five millions of the sum mentioned in the 12th article of the present treaty shall have been delivered and the 3d, 10th, 11th and 13th, shall have been executed. The last five millions, making the whole of the sum stipulated to be paid by the 12th article, shall be paid at farthest in the course of April next.
XVII. The French Republic cede to the Pope all its right to the different religious foundations in the city of Rome, and at Loreto; and the Pope cedes entirely to the French Republic all the allodial property belonging to the Holy See, in the three provinces of Bologna, Ferrara, and Romagna, and particularly the estate of Melfa and its dependencies; the Pope, referring to himself however, in case they shall be sold, a third of the sums arising from such sale, which shall be remitted as part of his contribution.
XVIII. His Holiness shall disavow, by his minister at Paris, the assassination of the Secretary of Legation, Basseville; and, in the course of the year, the sum of three hundred thousand livres, shall be paid to, and divided amongst those who have suffered by this event.
XIX. His Holiness shall set at liberty all persons in confinement on account of their political opinions.
XX. The Commander in Chief shall permit all the prisoners of war from the troops of his Holiness, to return home as soon as he shall have received the ratifications of this treaty.
XXI. Until a commercial treaty shall be concluded between the French Republic and the Pope, the commerce of the Republic shall be re-established and treated by the States of his Holiness on the same footing as the nation most favoured in commerce.
XXII. Conformably to the 6th article of the treaty concluded at the Hague in April, in the 3d year, the peace concluded by the present treaty between the French Republic
and his Holiness is declared to extend to the Batavian Republic.

Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Shippensburg and Sunbury STAGES.
THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time subsisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved; but, not as M. Slough insinuated to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the subject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last, a recital of which is not now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer, may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching himself to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippensburg, or any other place.
Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witmer, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, attention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the public can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippensburg. The fare as hitherto established.
For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Sunbury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Monday.
WILLIAM GEER. Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797. N. B. This Line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferrac, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, proceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, every Wednesday morning, on the same evening arrives at Patrick Cochran's in Shippensburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday; performing the same routine daily as in its tour from Philadelphia.

NOTICE.
THE Subscribers have strong reasons to believe that the following evidences of shares in the Bank of the United States have been lost on their way from England—and give this public notice, that application will be made at the proper offices for a renewal of the same, viz. No. 2077 issued in lieu of No. 9705 to 9790 5 shares No. 2159 do. 16137, 16141 5 shares 10 shares sent by the Polly, Capt.

WHEREAS a certain Christopher F. Parnell, failed from Boston, on or about the 27th of October last, in the sloop Union, with a valuable cargo, bound to Baltimore, but went off to the West-Indies where he sold the vessel and cargo. On or about the first inst. he was apprehended (as a suspicious character) in this town, and examined before several magistrates, but for the want of sufficient proof to detect him in his villainy he was discharged. The fact is, the said Parnell is a villain, and is attempting to defraud sundry persons to the amount of 20,000 dollars. He left this town about the 10th inst. he rode in a chair (painted green) drawn by a grey mare, and went on the Newbern road, but on this side Trenton, took the road of Fayetteville, and most probably is passing through the back part of the state into the western countries. He had when he left this town, upwards of 2000 dollars in gold, and about 7000 dollars in bank notes. Parnell is a small man, about 30 years of age, much pock-marked, and has long black hair, remarkable small eyes, and has a down look when spoken to. Whoever will secure the said Parnell, and the money he has with him, and give information to Benj. Williams of Baltimore, John Hogg, Esq. at Hillborough, to Mr. A. Jocelin, of this town, or to the subscriber, who is in pursuit of the villain, shall receive the above reward. ABNER CRAFT. Wilmington, (N. C.) April 26, 1797.

T. SWANN
RETURNS his sincere thanks to those gentlemen by whom he has been employed, during his residence in this City, in various instances that the success of his efforts, in the numerous, obstinate and dangerous diseases in Horses, in which he has been consulted, together with his moderate charges, will secure their future favors and recommendation. He now begs leave to inform them and the public at large that his spacious and commodious premises, erected for the purposes above described are open for the reception of pupils of either sex, who will be instructed in the Art of Riding, and the right method of governing their horses, so as to ride them with ease, elegance, and safety; their horses will be carefully and expeditiously broke, for every purpose, and made obedient to the will of the riders; the natural powers which are shut up in them, will be unfolded, by art, calling forth uniformity of motion, and giving to that noble animal all those beauties of action which Providence has so bountifully bestowed on them. Also, at his hospital, every disorder to which the horse is liable will be treated according to the rules of art, confirmed by long and repeated experience. The utility of the above institution has never been questioned, that it has long been wanted in this city, every gentleman's stud will manifest, and T. SWANN relies upon the support of the public (which he is ever anxious in serving) to enable him to bring it to perfection. The idea of a subscription for that purpose has been hinted by several gentlemen, who wish to promote the institution—the amount of each subscription to be returned by services in any of the departments he professes, agreeable to the rate of charges stated in his hand bill. Such subscription is now open, and the signatures of many respectable gentlemen already obtained. He therefore informs his friends and such Ladies and gentlemen to whom he has not the honor of being known, that he shall in a few days take the liberty of waiting upon them and soliciting their support and patronage. N. B. Horses are properly prepared for those Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to be instructed. Nov 5.
