Distant Subscribers For the Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay up their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their S- cription by paying Six Months in Ad- vance, as declining to take the Paper any longer. As there is a considerable Sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delin- quent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may re- spectively be indebted—the Sums are indi- vidually trifling—the want of the Aggre- gate is severely felt.

LATEST Foreign Intelligence, Received by the ship Manchester Capt. Cox, from Liverpool which left that place September 9.
LONDON, Sept. 6.
By the Coruña mail which arrived this morning, we have the following important intelligence, of so late date as the 22d of August, from a correspondent at Bilboa, which sufficiently overturns every thing that was advanced yesterday, respecting the further progress of the French in the Spanish territory, South west of Bayonne.
The enemy, it appears, had advanced to Totosa, in a body of 2,500 men, near which place they were attacked by the Spaniards, and totally cut to pieces, orders having been issued that no quarter should be given. The same dreadful example was made of all who were found wearing any republican badges at Totosa, and this is in consequence of the recent discovery of a plot to surrender the frontier provinces, at the head of which were the Spanish deputy generals Romero, Michelena and Barbachano, assisted by a great number of their creatures dispersed through Guipulcoa, Biscay, and Navarre: most of the latter have been executed, several at Bilboa, and others at Pampeluna.
The three principals involved in this affair are with their friends the French at Fontarabia and St. Sebastian, against which places an army of 17,000 men were preparing to march, in full confidence of recovering them both within a month from the above date, and of punishing as an example to traitors all those concerned in sacrificing their country to the ambition of its otherwise impotent invaders.
This formidable conspiracy having been discovered, and thus entirely defeated, no apprehensions are entertained for the safety of the Spanish territory. The proclamation for the inhabitants to arm en masse, has already produced in the different provinces an immense army; in Biscay, the volunteers assembled amount to 27,000 men; and in every great town throughout the kingdom, the people of property have voluntarily brought forward their effects in support of a war, which they consider as carried on not only in defence of the existence of the Spanish nation, but of religious and social order, attacked by a worse than Gothic race of barbarians.
Camp near Bois-Le-Duc, Sept. 2.
The army marched from its former camp early on the morning of the 20th ult. and, after two days march, has encamped near Niterloy, a village about three leagues from Bois-de-Duc, on the road to Grave, from which it is an equal distance. The French made no new attack upon the out-posts of the army, at their former encampment, since the 26th ult. but by the force in which they then appeared, it was evident that they were marching to besiege Breda.
Summons to Breda.
On the evening of the 21st ult. the French General (who is said to be Jourdan) sent an officer with a trumpet to summon Breda to surrender, in order to avoid the horrors of a siege. The commandant referred him for his answer to the Duke of York: it is needless to say what the answer was.
The commandant of Breda immediately cut all the small villages and houses within the range of cannon, to be set on fire, that they might not cover the enemy in their approaches to attack the place; and every preparation was made for the most vigorous defence.
The French had not, however, yesterday, cut off the communication with the garrison, as some persons only quitted it, but they had appeared in sight, as some heavy cannon were fired upon them.
Breda is in a tolerable state of defence. It is to be presumed that the French will not be able to reduce it, before winter may oblige them to raise the siege, and without the garrison's making a sortie to drive them away.
By the ground which the Duke of York has chosen, he is at hand to succour either Bois-le-Duc, or Grave, should they be threatened: he is also near Cleves, by which he may co-operate with the allies, in those measures which may hereafter be pursued.
P. S. The Duke of York, the Hereditary Prince of Orange, and General Beauhieu, held a council of war at Bois-le-Duc on the 1st inst. which lasted for upwards of four hours. The result is not known. This must no doubt have been to concert the ensuing operations of the campaign, and to determine whether the allies should advance, and drive the French from before Breda, and endeavor to cut off their retreat; or if the armies shall continue on the defensive only, and maintain the chain at present formed, till the opening of another campaign, or till all their reinforcements shall have arrived.
THE DEATH OF LOUIS XVIII!
The only authority which we yet have for this intelligence, is an extra slip added by way of P. S. to the courier du Bas Rhine by the Editor of that Paper, of which the following is a translation.
WESEL, August 30.
"This Paper was at Pres when we received the afflicting news that the unfortunate Dauphin of France had died
in his prison! Burnt up—it is said, by excessive drinking of strong liquors, into which they have, without doubt, put poisonous ingredients to hasten the effect."
Whether the particulars may be exactly as stated in the above we have not the means of determining: We give the article literally.
Star.
Yesterday arrived the ship Manchester, Captain Cox, in 52 days from Liverpool. A gentleman who came passenger in this vessel, says, that the French have taken Quessnoy, Valenciennes, Conde, Sluys, Breda, and Bergen-op-Zoom, and were pushing on to Antwerp, where it was expected they would have little resistance as great numbers of patriots were ready to join them. He confirms the taking of St. Sebastian, &c. with the additional conquest of Bilboa—Stocks kept up in London through the amazing influx of money and plate from Holland. Lord Howe was at sea, with 28 sail of the line. The Portuguese squadron was returning to Lisbon. This gentleman has bro't letters from Mr. Jay, to the Secretary of State.
Ame. D. Adv.
MAESTRICHT, August. 20.
Yesterday a smart engagement took place between the French and the Austrians, near the village of Eymaal. The French were at first repulsed beyond Waing; but the left wing of the Austrians which closed upon the little town of Bouchloon, between Tongres, and St. Tron, at the distance of five leagues hence was obliged to abandon that position after an obstinate conflict, and lost as much ground as the right wing had gained. The engagement lasted from day break till noon.
The right bank of the Maese is defended by the Austrians from Charleroi near Liege as far as Ruremonde. Their Head Quarters are still at Fouron le-Comte, at two leagues from hence; and several thousands of Austrians are also encamped from the Convent of Lichtenberg, at the distance of half a league from this city, in different positions as far as near Camberg.
Royal Prussian Head Quarters, near Wolsna, August 12.
General Subow commands the corps of 20,000 men which belong to the Russian grand army commanded by Prince Repnin, which has taken Vilna. According to the official news, the Russians have most dreadfully avenged themselves in that city. Their rage was still more heightened by the resistance they met with. They not only refused quarters to the Polish soldiers, but even put to the sword all the inhabitants, without respect to sex or age; a bloody offering to the manes of their brethren killed at Warsaw in the counter-revolution of April 17th.
From the smoking ruins of Vilna, Gen. Subow marches against Grodno; another corps of 10,000 Russians hastens by forced marches against Warsaw, and has already passed Dubienka. The approach of the Russians is said to have produced a great change in the minds of the inhabitants of Warsaw; and some deserters, say, that they wanted bread for four whole days. The defectors in the Polish army would also be very frequent, were the soldiers not closely guarded by the cavalry and the peasants. The works or the redoubts are still continued, and some of them are even fortified with walls.
We want for no provision, though they are somewhat dear. On the 19th we shall receive the first division of the heavy ordnance from Breslaw. It will consist of upwards of 60 pieces of the heaviest size; by the 25th or 26th, every preparation will have been made for a formal siege.
Polish Frontier, August 16.
We have advice from Peterburgh that M. de Calonne met with a most gracious reception from the Empress.
WEZEL, August 23.
The French have taken possession of Treves with ten thousand men, in place of bending their force towards Coblenz, as there was reason to suppose they would do, they have chosen another route, and are arrived at Blankenstein and Munster Eifel. It is not known whether it is their intention to move towards Bonn and the Rhine, or to attempt a junction with the army of the North. Mean while, the communication with Luxembourg is cut off.
VIENNA, August 18.
There is no doubt left of the success the British Envoys met with in their negotiations with our Ministers. A conference was held on the 16th, in the Hotel of Prince Rosenberg, which it
is said, was conclusive. After this conference, Princes Stahremberg and Rosenberg, Marshal Count Lacy and Baron Thugut had an audience with the Emperor, and remained for an hour and an half in his Majesty's closet. The result of these deliberations has not yet transpired but the measures to be taken immediately will soon unriddle this mystery. Notwithstanding this secrecy, our politicians assert, that a new treaty of alliance between our Court and that of Great Britain, has been concluded and signed on the 11th inst. by our Ministers and the English Missionaries, who were provided with full powers from their court for the purpose.
The arch Duke Palatinate a few days ago arrived at Breda in Hungary, on his return from this capital, and about two hours after his arrival the cannon of the ramparts of that town, as well as those of the town of Pest were by orders of that Prince, pointed against the towns, and patrols are day and night parading through the streets. The cause of these measures are yet unknown, but it is conjectured that a connexion has been discovered between the conspirators apprehended in this capital with several of the inhabitants of the above Hungarian towns.
It is expected that the Emperor will undertake a short journey for a few days, during which time the execution of the sentence against the prisoners, convicted of a conspiracy against the state will take place publicly.
Our troops are still in the utmost state of inactivity on the frontiers of Galicia. It is said that several Swedish vessels are arrived in different ports of Courland, laden with a great quantity of provisions and ammunition for the Polish patriots. The people of Courland have determined to make a common cause with the Republic of Poland. The circle of Liebau alone furnishes 5000 men, besides the advantage which the ports of Courland afford to the Poles, by opening to them a maritime communication, by which means they are provided with a number of articles of the first necessity. The Poles, by means of Courland, have also the chance of finding adherents to their cause in the neighboring countries. The remainder of that nation have declared not only obedience to the military orders of Gen. Koscinski, but also to accede to the confederation and constitution, having already sent a deputation for that purpose to the supreme council at war.
CARLISLE, (Eng.) August 28.
The Grand Jury of the county resolved with but two or three dissenting voices, that if peace were not the immediate consequence of this campaign, in their opinion it is proper the sheriff should call a County meeting in the winter, to petition his Majesty to institute an immediate negotiation for that salutary purpose. These truly respectable Gentlemen count upon the general concurrence of this county with confidence in their wise proposal.
PARIS, August 15.
The department of Bec d'Ambes sent an address to the Convention, requesting them to grant neither peace nor truce to England. The French Republic is said to have a great number of friends and adherents in Breda.
The Convention has passed a decree, ordaining, that the payments of the pensions due to the ci-devant constitutional priests and nuns, shall be made regularly and precisely every three months.
On the 10th inst. the ci-devant ministers Pare and Desforques, the national deputy Neuschateau, who had been under arrest for these twelve months past, the actors of the Theatre Francaise, and 700 other prisoners, were released from their confinement in the prison of Luxemburgh. Tallien, the conqueror of Robespierre, came to deliver them.
Noisy and vociferous as the people used to be when whole groups of men were guillotined, as heartily and loudly did they rejoice at seeing those unfortunate men released. When Tallien went to the Luxemburgh to announce to the prisoners their deliverance, vast crowds of the people accompanied him, loaded him with blessings, and embraced both him and the released prisoners. Tears of joy gushed from the eyes of all persons present. Of the seven of the whole number of the prisoners, who are real criminals, are to suffer death. All the other prisoners, confined in that prison, and lately released, were marked on the death or proscription list of the sanguinary Robespierre, and were to have been sent before the Revolutionary Tribunal.
Of the 800 prisoners confined in this capital, one half is esteemed to be entirely innocent.
The number of those who are already liberated, though very considerable, cannot yet be ascertained. The Convention has decreed a list of their names to be printed. The decrees of the committee of public welfare and general safety, relative to their deliverance, are also to serve them as passports for 20 days, which is allowed them to return to their respective homes. The time of the committee of general safety is entirely occupied with the enlargement of incarcerated victims.
The crowd of the citizens from the sections, who came to solicit the release of their relatives from the committee of General Safety, was so great a few days back, that it resembled an insurrection.
By the capture of St. Sebastian our troops got into their possession 12,000 muskets, and 25,000 tents.
A caricature print has been published here respecting the tyranny or sway of Robespierre. This plate represents the French people on the square of the revolution without heads, and the executioner, who alone remains, is in the act of guillotining himself.
The best discipline is kept up by our troops in the conquered Spanish districts, where all plundering, marauding and ill treatment of the inhabitants is forbidden, under pain of death. All the Spaniards are obliged to deliver up their arms, to take as signs, and to sell their commodities at the price of the maximum.
The Convention was informed on the 10th that the Royalists in la Vendee, who are now called, by the way of irony, Chouans, or Screech Owls, because they hide themselves in woods and caverns, increase daily in number since the fall of Robespierre.
In the same sitting, it was decreed that a commission of 12 deputies of the Convention, among whom we reckon Bourdon de l'Oise, to take off the seals from the papers of Robespierre, Couthon, St. Just, Lebas, and Hanriot; as it is hoped that some important discoveries will be made in their papers.
LONDON, Sept. 2.
Instructions to the Commanders of all Ships of War and Privateers, that G. R. have or may have Letters of Marque against France, given at our Court, at St. James's, the eighteenth day of August, 1793, in the thirty-fourth year of our reign.
WHEREAS by an article of our instructions to the commanders of ships of war and privateers, having letters of marque against France, given at our court at St. James's, the eighth day of June, 1793, we thought fit to declare, that it should be lawful to stop and detain all ships, laden wholly or in part with corn, flour, or meal, bound to any port in France, and to send them to such ports as should be most convenient, in order that such corn, meal, or flour, might be purchased on behalf of our government, and the ships be released after such purchase, and after a due allowance for freight, or that the masters of such ships giving due security, to be approved by our court of admiralty, should be permitted to proceed to dispose of their cargoes of corn, meal or flour, in the ports of any country in amity with us. We not judging it expedient to continue for the present the purchase of the said cargoes, on behalf of our government, are pleased to revoke the said article until our further order therein, and to declare that the same shall no longer remain in force. But we strictly enjoin all commanders of our ships of war and privateers to observe the remaining articles of the said instructions, and likewise all other instructions which we have issued and which still continue in force.
G. R.
September 3. Official accounts were yesterday received of the surrender of SLUYS on the 26th. It is supposed that it surrendered by Capitulation. The firing heard on Saturday in that quarter, and which it is supposed, proceeded from the French works before that place, must have been from the attack of the enemy upon some other place in that vicinity, probably Ardenburgh, Ysendick, or Fort Phillipine.
For the safety of Flushing few apprehensions need be entertained, as it is protected by a strong Naval Force. The South Bank of the Scheldt, however, will probably soon be entirely in the possession of the enemy.
Travels, Neen.
We stop the Press to state the arrival, this forenoon, of Major Macdonald from the British army in Holland, which he left on Friday last.
On Thursday the whole army moved from the camp at Oosterhout on the route to Bois le Duc, which the French were approaching in great force.
A prodigious fall of rain took place

previous to the movement of the British Army, which has rendered the Country round Breda a perfect marsh; a circumstance that will effectually impede the progress of the French army in that quarter.
The last letters from Paris state, that Sir John Lambert, Les Couteux the bankers, and the daughters of Sourelles, have been released from confinement. Delessart, the banker, has been committed to the Conciergerie.
September 4. Such has been the want of necessaries in the Prussian camp before Warsaw, that even garden stuff has been brought from the most distant provinces in Silesia. The latest letters from Warsaw mention that the king of Prussia's head quarters had been removed to a greater distance from the Polish intrenchments. A great quantity of heavy artillery was expected from Breslau and other places. Many private letters complain of a great mortality in the Prussian army in consequence of the flux.
SWITZERLAND.
The Revolutionary Committee at Geneva, have called for a declaration from every citizen possessed of more than 12,000 livres, within eight days under pain of being treated as a counter-revolutionist. All the plate has been taken from the rich, to be coined into money. The public debt, the yearly interest of which is upwards of 8000 thalers, it is said, will be discharged; of 500 persons, in confinement, some are sentenced to three months, and others to from one to ten years imprisonment.
The Swiss have taken possession of all the heights towards France, and very narrowly watch the motions of the French troops. By the advice of the Cantons, it is said that a number of Swiss officers, have chosen rather to give up their pensions from France, than to send back their crosses of St. Louis.
September 6.
By the Dutch Mail we have accounts from Holland, that reports prevailed there, brought by the way of Basle, in Switzerland, that tumults prevailed to a great extent in Paris, and that Barrere had been massacred.
Prince Cobourg has resigned his Command, and has been succeeded by General Clairfait.
Letters from Aix-le-Chapelle of the 8th instant state, that both Le Quesnoy and Valenciennes surrendered to the French on the 15th ult.
The taking of Bilboa is not confirmed by the letters brought by the mail yesterday from Corunna. The report originated in the Jacobin Prints here, without any authority.
There is a cordon of about thirty thousand men between Dover and Southampton, a proof at once of the vigilance of government, and the internal strength of the country.
The Jacobins are moving heaven and earth to excite the citizens of London to an opposition of the militia act. We trust, however, that the citizens are too sensible of the advantages of a proper military protection, to be influenced by such efforts.
Camp, near Breda, Sept. 2.
I formerly acquainted you, that it was supposed that three Columns of French were to march against Holland: one against Breda, another against Bergen-op-Zoom, and the third against Bois-le-Duc. The Column against Breda has appeared, that against Bergen-op-Zoom has perhaps, done so; but we have no communication with that place, and can know nothing of what passes there; the third column it may be inferred, from the following circumstances, is on its way from Maestricht.
The Commandant of Bois-le-Duc sent out a party to reconnoitre, some days ago, as far as Eyndhoven, on the road to Maestricht; but with orders not to attack. The party, forgetting their orders, fell in with some advanced posts of the French, which they immediately attacked. They were repulsed with the loss of near twenty men killed; the rest got back to the garrison. The French, according to custom, plundered the place.
Bois-le-Duc is a considerable Town, and by nature and art may be accounted strong. On the side of Breda, it is well fortified; and on that of Grave, there is a natural moats, which will not permit the erection of batteries, or any approaches by an enemy. The French cannot therefore mean any attack upon that place.
By the ground which the Duke of York has chosen, he is at hand to succour either Bois le Duc or Grave, should they be threatened: he is also near Cleves, by which he may co-operate with the Allies, in those measures which may hereafter be pursued.
This place affords a striking contrast to most other towns in Holland, or those belonging to the Dutch. Few or no Orange Cockades are worn by the mass. They would readily mount the French Insurrection colours. Were a permanent guillotine erected among them for three months only, it might work a wonderful change; or were the Republicans to convey to France all their cash and goods, and leave them only paper, or take off their heads, if they complained, it might be a useful lesson to themselves and posterity.
The army passed through the town without all the pomp of War: they no doubt wished it had been an army of Carnagnols and must have suffered the tortures of the disaffected, in seeing so great a force, as a bar to their secret, but seditious wishes.
BERGEN-OP-ZOOM, August 28.
A French patrol of horse, about 100 strong, advanced under the cannon of this place yesterday, and near Galg fell upon some soldiers who were leveling some heights. A sergeant and about 10 men were carried prisoners to Antwerp, where a great number of troops have been assembling for several days past; all the villages in the environs are also full. The French patrols frequently approach Breda, which occasion skirmishes that generally terminate in favor of the Dutch.

The votes for Representatives in the state Legislature are not yet counted.
October 20.
On Saturday, the orphans were removed to the new orphan house. The commissioners had requested the countenance of their fellow-citizens to the promotion of that laudable charity by their attendance. In consequence, a procession was formed at the Exchange, of the troops of horse, some of the uniformed companies, the Ancient York Masons, the wardens, commissioners, and the inhabitants in general. The Rev. Mr. Frost, pronounced a well adapted oration at the orphan house to a most numerous assembly of people: after which a liberal collection was made at the doors, and some subscriptions obtained.
Died in England, Mrs. Elizabeth Pinckney, wife of Thomas Pinckney, Esquire, Ambassador to the Court of Great Britain.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 31.
From a correspondent. Every friend to our powerful allies
the French Republic, must reflect with pleasure on the humane and generous conduct, the captains and crews of the ships captured on the Banks of Newfoundland experienced from Capt. Bertrant, and the whole of the officers of the Semillante frigate under his command.
Whatever could tend to render their situation comfortable on board his ship was administered with an unsparing hand; and as some of the passengers taken in the Antelope Packet, rank high in the British army, it gives us additional satisfaction to find, that his treatment of them, has been spoken of since their landing here, with the most heartfelt gratitude.
Generous man—'tis by such acts as these, you can serve the noble cause in which you are embarked, and prove to the enemies of your country, that, though at war with them, humanity to the conquered shall be its leading feature.
Died on board the Frigate Semillante Richard Kempthorne, esq. commander of his Britannick majesty's Packet boat Antelope, which was sent in a prize; a gentleman much respected and lamented.
PHILADELPHIA,
NOVEMBER 3.
The Governor has appointed Edward Catbush, M. D. late senior surgeon in the militia of this state, to be surgeon general in the place of Dr. N. Dorsey, who on account of indisposition has been obliged to return to this city.
Mr. Fenno, Pleas to insert the following answer to the piece signed—FAIR QUESTION, inserted in your Gazette of Friday, under the New York head.
IF this question is honestly proposed, it is worthy of the attention of a Philosopher—but it is founded on a falsehood.
The writer says that "two thirds of the Convention have been condemned for treason and conspiracy."
There has not been one half nor one quarter of the members condemned; the whole does not amount to more than one sixth; what is one sixth part in comparison with the majority of the members of the English parliament, who in continuing their support of Pitt have betrayed their constituents, and merit the same punishment that has been inflicted on the minority of the National Convention.
A Friend to Truth.
Mr. Ricketts, with real respect, presents his compliments to the Gentleman who has so obligingly taken notice of the Equestrian Performances at the Circus, in Saturdays Paper, under the signature of JUVENIS. He assures that Gentleman, that his gratitude to the Citizens of Philadelphia, will ever keep pace with his desire to please them: And that altho' there are several performances which have appeared in Edinburgh and other Cities of Europe, that have not yet been exhibited here. The delay has not arisen from any neglect of Mr. Ricketts, but from circumstances that rendered it hitherto impracticable.
The want of a convenient covered Circus, together with several obstacles, which might be mentioned, will plead Mr. Ricketts's excuse.
Desirous, nevertheless, to exert every means within his capacity of giving ample satisfaction to his kind Benefactors, he is preparing the necessary apparatus to perform the Feat which Juvenis quotes from the Edinburgh papers, altho' when he advertised it, and there was an immensely crowded Circus—the Gentlemen of the Faculty in that City, declared their opinion, that it would be altogether impossible for a man of Mr. Ricketts's construction, to execute a Leap over Ten Horses, without the most fatal consequences, viz. The bursting of blood vessels, or destruction of some of the vital parts.
Mr. Ricketts however persisted, went over the ten horses with ease, without the assistance of a spring-board, and, without suffering any ill consequences.
In like manner, Mr. R. hopes to get through the same feat before his departure from this City, and will advertise it in course, with some other New Performances that have never yet appeared. He returns sincere thanks to Juvenis, for his friendly advice respecting the hour of commencing at the Circus, and will readily comply with whatever may appear to give the most satisfaction to the Public.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 1.
A heavy fire of cannon was distinctly
heard by a number of persons on Thursday morning, as they were coming from Sandy Hook.

Waddell, which failed from this port, about twelve months since, bound for Brest, and was taken by an English privateer into Liverpool, on suspicion of having French property on board, arrived here yesterday.

From an Antigua paper received yesterday.
St. JOHN'S (Ant.) Oct. 13.
We are informed that upwards of seventy transports have arrived at Spithead with British troops from Holland, so that the prosecution of the Continental War seems now to be entirely abandoned.
The British camp at Guadaloupe which General Graham commanded, has capitulated; and we understand, the General and the little army are to be sent to England, not to serve against the French during the present war.
By the last vessels from Guadaloupe, we are informed, that the French were within very few miles of Bassetterre.
By the brig Governor Johnson, Capt. Nelson, which arrived this morning from London, out five weeks, we are informed that 25 sail of transports with troops on board, were lying at Coxes, ready to sail for Barbadoes with the first fair wind; and that he saw the fleet under the command of Earl Howe, in the Bay, consisting of 35 sail of the line and 5 frigates.

Forty dollars reward. RAN AWAY from the Subscriber on Saturday night the 11th inst. A Mulatto LAD, named Bill, generally called Bill Madden, about 17 or 18 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, of a slim make, has frizz black hair, which he sometimes wears tied, but generally loose; he has been accustomed to wait altogether in a house, and having been much indulged, has become too idle to work for a support. He took with him a brown suftian double breasted long coat, one drab corhcoat, with red cuffs and cape, the pocket flaps & skirts trimmed with red edge, a suftian waistcoat a pair of buckskin breeches, a pair of red striped trowsers, and several other cloaths, also a pair of boots, half worn. It is probable he has a forged pass, and will endeavour to pass as a free man. From every circumstance, I am led to believe he went off with a white woman, and that they had taken their passage in a vessel bound to Philadelphia. The above reward will be paid to any person delivering me the said servant, and reasonable charge for bringing him home. Daniel Carroll. Of Duddington. City of Washington, Oct. 20 Oct. 7 *gtaw2w

To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book-Store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, it is in all probability, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, that being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
