JUST PUBLISHED, And for sale by THOMAS DOBSON, At the Stone House, No 41, South Second Street. In one handsome volume, printed with a good type, on fine paper, price one dollar.  An Narrative of the British Embassy to China, In the year 1792, 1793, and 1794, containing the various circumstances of the Embassy, with accounts of the customs and manners of the Chinese, with a description of the country, towns, cities, &c. BY AENEAS ANDERSON. An Embassy to China is an event which naturally excites general curiosity, from the ignorance which prevails respecting the interior parts of that Empire, whose jealous laws forbid the intrusion of any other people. The novelty of an authentic description of it must attract the attention of an enlightened people. The author has accurately related every circumstance which came under his own observation, with much information drawn from unquestionable sources calculated to gratify reasonable curiosity and enlarge the knowledge of a country so little known to the other nations of the Globe.

Foreign Intelligence.
WEYMOUTH, November 19.
After crossing the ferry, which, with the sea, forms the Island of Portland, I reached the Beach, to be distressed with the mortifying sight of many dead bodies, under every description; mutilation of limbs, nakedness, and horror. I directed my course from this heart-rending scene, to trace the survivors, and to offer the services of humanity, and in this course, among others, chance led me to the house which had received the survivors of the crew of the ship Golden Grove. The mate, whom I found with the others of the crew, told me, that the ship in five minutes after striking, went completely to pieces; that a Dr. Stevens and another passenger were lost, by delaying one minute, and only one, Col. Rofs, of the 31st, though badly wounded, was saved, from more activity. An old man, one boy, and Col. Rofs's black servant, were lost—the survivors had not saved more than covered them: the horrid Portland fishermen, had so completely plundered, that I, though on the spot only 16 hours after the Golden Grove struck, could scarce ascertain where the had been wrecked—not one atom was left to mark the fatality.
I rode over three or four miles of a strand covered with the wrecks of five ships, and near 250 dead bodies of the 63d, 21st, and one other regiment of infantry, with part of the 26th light cavalry; and some few horse carcasses; many of the human bodies dreadfully lacerated.
The best information states six ships, and about 400 souls lost, one ship mislaid, one main and mizen gone, and one ordnance ship on shore, with hopes of being got off, in fine weather.
On review, I find my politest to be scarce intelligible, even to myself; it behoves me to repeat, that I aimed at doing justice to the dignified merits of Major Austin, who commands here the south Gloucester battalion of militia, because his soul and sentiments as a soldier, citizen, and christian, in harmony united, urged him in execution of all and each of the duties of a man. On the instant he was informed of the disasters on the South Beach, by the ship wrecks, he hurried, with whatever of his men he first met in the streets, to seize their arms, with a proportion of ammunition (without the theory of parade, forms, but the practice of discipline) and, at their head, hastened to the aid of floating crews, and the preservation of ship-wrecked property, with order for officers and additional men to follow his ardour, to serve his fellow creatures, and preserve property from embezzlement.
LONDON, November 18.
A letter from Florence of the 34th ult. states, that a letter received there from Genoa, of the 26th September, informed them that 6 French ships of the line, 10 frigates, and 6 cutters, had arrived at Carthagena to unite with the Spanish fleet in that port, consisting of 25 ships of the line. We know not what credit is due to this intelligence. November 23.
Saturday dispatches were received, through Spain, from the Mediterranean, which contained letters of intelligence from admiral Hotham, and the viceroy of Corsica.
The British fleet have had two cruizes, since their last action with the French, in which they saw nothing of the enemy; now probably too weak for a contest by sea. The Spaniards, except 6 sail of the line, and 2 frigates, a squadron for observation at Mahon, are all returned to Cadiz, Malaga, and other ports.
It was mentioned at the late County meeting in Cheshire, by Sir Thomas Broughton, that he had reduced the consumption of wheat flour in his family, from 6 bushels to 2, weekly. It is done in the following proportion; to 20lb. of wheat flour, 10lb. of barley flour, and 10 of potatoes are added; which, with the abolition of pastry and puddings, make this very important saving.
An extraordinary circumstance. In the night between Thursday and Friday last night, at Peabury, in Gloucestershire, a windmill was set in motion by the last storm with such velocity, that it took fire from the friction, and was destroyed.
The stables at the king's Mews were, last night cleared of all the coach horses, except the creams, in order to make room for a party of light dragoons, ordered in yesterday afternoon, by the war office. The horses removed from them are in future to be kept at Hampton Court and Windsor.
British Head Quarters.
Ritterhude (Electorate of Hanover.) November 6.
On Wednesday we shifted to this more than wretched village, and are now only four German miles from Bremerlehe, where we are finally to embark. To name the precise day, nay the month, when the completion of the wishes of most people of this army will take place, is as yet impossible.
Yesterday morning, intelligence was received by the general, of the arrival of 32 transports from England, for the purpose of taking on board a portion of our cavalry. Scarcely will that number suffice for gen. Vyse's brigade; and it is hardly possible to conceive, that even the third brigade can embark before spring.
The winter has already set in here, with more than its usual inclemency: to day it does not freeze intensely, clouds of snow, or torrents of rain, pour from the heavens: it is with the greatest difficulty that the strongest horses, though the most lightly laden, can make a little way through the heavy, and nearly impassable roads that lead from Bremen to the place of embarkation.
The general's dispatches, &c. are taken over this time by Col. Low, who was the acting adjutant general for the Hanoverian troops, while the duke of York was on the continent.
We were all seized with horror, when the late sacrilegious attempt against his majesty's life reached us; but it is well known that the vile wretches were instructed, by those seditious and treasonable societies, which...

the disgrace of the nation, are still suffered to subsist in England.
Major general lord Catheart is now within an English mile of Bremen, and it is very probable he will soon take up these quarters, as we move forward.
Orders are issued for the immediate distribution of a blanket per dragoon, through the two remaining brigades, which makes us conjecture that the moment of our embarking (head quarters I mean) is more remote than it was thought some days back.
The last news from Heielberg mention terrible firing about Manheim.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Monday, November 23.
After seven petitions were presented against the sedition bill and three in favor of it.
A motion was made to adjourn the further consideration of the bill till Wednesday next.
Mr. Fox moved as an amendment, that Tuesday se'nnight, be substituted instead; and, after reminding the Right Hon. Gentleman of his mistake, in supposing last Monday that the meeting in Westminster did not speak the sense of the parish, he contended, that delay could not be desired for the purposes of misrepresentation, because misrepresentation might prevail for a moment, but must be detected by delay. The more debates were held, the greater was the dislike of the bills, though this Administration was distinguished for extraordinary means of spreading their opinions. Discussion, which was the means of counteracting misrepresentation, was all that he desired. When an attempt was made to change the limited Monarchy into an arbitrary one, he wished it done all at once, that the design might be understood, rather than by separate measures, which, by making the poison more pleasant, rendered the destruction more secure. He therefore hoped, that if the bills did pass, it would be without alterations, that the nature of the Minister's views might not be concealed but appear in all their odious nakedness.
Never did man with more sincerity than he for a true declaration of the people's opinion. The present moment was a crisis in his public life. If the people preferred slavery, and the bills to liberty and the Constitution, he would continue to love them indeed, but it was not in the frame of his nature to be the servant of such a people; and he trusted, that he could retire with some consolation to private life. If otherwise, it would remain one of his duties boldly to tell them truths. Should the bills pass by the mere influence of the minister, contrary to the great majority of the nation, and he was affected without doors, what was to be done? he would say, "This is not now a question of morality or duty, but of prudence. Acquiesce in the bills only as long as you are compelled to do so. They are bills to destroy the Constitution, and parts of the system of an Administration aiming at that end." (Hear! Hear, Hear!) Mr. Fox said, he knew the misconstruction to which such sentiments were liable, and he braved it. No attempt of the Stuarts called more for opposition than the present bills; and extraordinary times called for extraordinary declarations. He moved, that "to-morrow week" be substituted in the motion for "Wednesday."
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, Mr. Fox's last declaration could not be misconstrued, and he thanked him for making it, that the public might see him setting up his own judgment against that of the majority of the House, attempting the dissolution of Society, and persuading the people of England to have recourse to the sword if they thought they could succeed by it. Let him not imagine, however, that Englishmen will want spirit to support the laws. The Right Hon. Gentleman would probably find the law too strong for him; but if that should not be so, he hoped that he would find the valour that should aid the law.
Mr. Fox would not retract a syllable of his assertions, which, he said, the Right Hon. Gentleman had so much misrepresented. He had stated merely, that if bills to destroy the Constitution were passed against the sense of the majority of the nation, he would give the advice which he had mentioned. He would stand and abide by his words, which he was then willing to have taken down, if required. The words might be strong, but strong measures called for strong words.
Mr. Windham denied that Mr. Fox's explanation had mended his assertion, which was so plain a discovery of his intentions, that he had not, for some time, heard any thing with so much pleasure. People would now see the necessity for a vigorous stronger than the laws. (Here a cry of take down his words!) Mr. Windham explained that he meant stronger laws than the present, and that the laws should be supported by means not wanting upon other occasions. (A cry of Note the words!) Mr. Windham replied, that he would repeat the words if he could, and concluded by expressing his hope that the country would not be so abject as to submit to the Right Hon. Gentleman.
Alderman Newmarch stated, that the meetings against the bill were not all fairly held, and that Mr. Mainwaring had not been heard at Hackney, or himself at Guildhall.
Mr. Sheridan thought that the Hon. Alderman had libelled his brother freeholders, and argued, that all meetings in the metropolis and the neighbourhood had been fair, at one of which the Lord Mayor, who had been friendly to the bills, had acknowledged that the meaning of his constituents was expressed. Mr. Sheridan offered to subscribe his hand to all the declarations of Mr. Fox, from whom Mr. Windham should have known better than to expect a retraction. When plotting ministers meditated attacks upon the Constitution; when the Secretary at War had made London, the seat of the Parliament, a garrison, and asked of a vigour more than the law, he would advise every man to resist the establishment of the system of terror in this country. No British Rosalie he hoped, would ever dominate over the people of England; Robespierre, who had hated the people of France with his pretended plots, could not visit the Mayor of Paris without
contemptible wretches would they be?—No other answer could be given to the people. Ministers would not always feel the same courage as at present for persevering in their plans.
Mr. Wilberforce said, that such declarations were liable to very different opinions, and expressed his disapprobation of them. It was like telling the enemy, that they were ready to take up arms.
Mr. Grey repeated Mr. Fox's words, and laid, that he was ready to subscribe them, and give them to the clerk. He considered the bills as the last blow aimed at the destruction of the constitution. Mr. Fox, he contended had said nothing but what was asserted at the time of the revolution.
Mr. Fox's amendment was then rejected, and the original motion carried without a division.
Mr. Rolle read an address from Devonshire in support of the bills.
At half past one the House adjourned, after a debate of uncommon warmth, the cries of Hear, Hear! during the last speeches of Mr. Fox, Mr. Windham, and Mr. Sheridan having been louder from both sides of the House than we remember to have ever heard them before.
LEGISLATURE of MASSACHUSETTS.
VIRGINIA AMENDMENTS.
In a former paper we mentioned that the amendments proposed by the Legislature of Virginia to the Constitution of the United States, respecting the power to make treaties, were sent by his excellency the Governor to the Legislature. They were read in Senate, and sent down to the House without any proceeding thereon. In the House it was moved, that they be committed, which was negatived, and they were ordered to lie on the table.
Thursday, February 4.
Mr. Fisk moved, that the Resolutions of Virginia be taken into consideration or committed. Dr. Jarvis seconded the motion. Considerable conversation ensued; at the close of which, 4 o'clock, P. M. was assigned for taking the motion into consideration. At 4 o'clock, the business being called up, it was moved by Mr. Williams, that it be farther postponed until the next day, at 11 o'clock, on account of the indisposition of Dr. Jarvis. [The Doctor, about 3 o'clock, was taken with convulsive fainting fits, and was so indisposed as not to be able to attend in the House. He has recovered considerably, but has not yet been able to take his seat.] The postponement took place accordingly.
Friday, February 4.
Agreeably to assignment, the House took Mr. Fisk's motion made yesterday, into consideration. —After considerable debate, that gentleman withdrew his motion, and asked leave to lay the following on the table, viz.
"That a committee be raised to take into consideration the expediency of obtaining amendments to the Constitution of the United States, in a constitutional way."
This motion being seconded, a debate ensued. It was advocated by Mr. Fisk, Dr. Thornton, Mr. Slocum, Mr. Edwards, and several others: and was opposed by Mr. S. Wall, Mr. Tudor, Mr. Strong, Mr. Williams, Mr. Bliss, Mr. Parker, and others—and the question being taken, shall leave be given, passed in the negative.
A motion to enter the numbers on the journal being also negatived. Mr. Fisk moved to reconsider the first vote. This motion renewed the debate, and the question, shall the former vote be reconsidered and leave given to lay the motion on the table? was finally taken by yeas and nays and were YEAS 46.—NAYS 98.
So the motion for reconsideration passed in the negative. It was then moved, that it be entered on the communication of the Virginia Resolves, read and sent up, which passed.
LEGISLATURE of NEW-YORK.
THE ABOLITION BILL was again called up in Committee of the whole HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY yesterday. Several amendments were proposed and rejected. The question being put on a resolution which went to the freeing children who should be born of slaves after the day of it was negatived by a majority of two—there being nays 32, ayes 30.

From a Correspondent.
The Resolution requesting the President to lay the Indian Treaty before the House, duly authenticated, calls in question the propriety of the practice which was begun and pursued throughout the whole of Mr. Jefferson's administration of the office of State; and without any question or objection, until the above instance of quibbling complexion. The law constituting the department of State shews that the mode adopted by the present officer is therein exactly pointed out. The consular convention with France, formed by the old government, was communicated to the legislature by Mr. Jefferson in the same manner, and the necessary legislative provision made without any objection. Five Indian Treaties adjusting boundaries and granting money, have also been carried into effect by the legislature, altho' the communication to the House, has been precisely the same as in the case of the late Treaty.
was unnecessary, and superfluous.—It shews, of how little importance names, precedents and laws are, when they can be conveniently set aside for particular purposes.
An authentic copy of the following Proceedings of the Legislature of the State of Rhode-Island, was communicated in a letter from his Excellency Governor FENNER, to a gentleman in this city, received on Saturday last, viz.
STATE of RHODE-ISLAND, &c.
In GENERAL ASSEMBLY, HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES, February Session, 1796.
WHEREAS attempts have been made to diminish the confidence of the people in the President of the United States, by misrepresenting the motives which determined him in the execution of his official duties, and particularly in his ratification of the Treaty, lately negotiated by John Jay, with Great-Britain, as consented to and advised by the Senate of the United States; which attempts manifestly tend to deprive the President of the well-earned esteem and affection of his fellow-citizens, the only reward acceptable to this disinterested patriot and father of his country:—
Lest, therefore, our sentiments of the President should be deemed equivocal, and to rescue our republican character from the imputation of ingratitude,
Resolved, as the opinion of this House, That attempts to lessen the well-grounded confidence of the people in the President of the United States, have a tendency to injure the cause of liberty, by weakening the influence of one of its principal defenders; they, therefore, merit and meet our pointed disapprobation.
Resolved, That the same disinterested devotion to his country, which characterized GEORGE WASHINGTON as commander in-chief of our armies, has evidently distinguished him as our Chief Magistrate.
Resolved, That, in the opinion of this House, the President in ratifying, and the Senate of the United States in consenting to and advising the ratification of the Treaty, lately negotiated by John Jay, with Great-Britain, were actuated by one motive, a regard to the peace and prosperity of their country.
Resolved, That we conceive it to be our duty, as the organs of the people of this state, to declare, that THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS NOT CEASED TO DESERVE WELL OF HIS COUNTRY.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Bourdeaux, to his friend in this city, dated Nov. 28.
"We have AUTHENTIC intelligence this morning, that Pichegru has ENTIRELY DEFEATED the AUSTRIAN ARMY, and taken all their artillery," &c. [N. Y. Argus.]
Mr. McLean,
You are requested to publish the enclosed advice received this day from Cadiz in your Gazette, presuming they may prove interesting to the mercantile part of your subscribers.
Extract of a letter from James Simpson, Consul of the United States at Gibraltar, to Jos. M. Yznardi, Consul General at Cadiz.
Dear Sir,
"I have not any of your regarded favours under answer; therefore have only to say, I have this morning received a letter from Mr. Donaldson, at Algiers, in which he recommends our discouraging vessels of the United States going up the Mediterranean, because of their danger from the cruisers of Tunis and Tripoli; who no doubt will now be more active, since they may expect the number of American vessels in these seas will be considerably augmented.
"Let this serve for your guidance, and be assured of the unfeigned esteem of your's, &c."
Mr. Yznardi would recommend to all Masters of vessels bound up the Mediterranean, to touch at Cadiz, and receive his advice, which will be most cheerfully given.
We have again the melancholy task of announcing the death of another valuable citizen in that of Doctor WILLIAM PITT SMITH, who died early yesterday morning, in the prime of his life. This City has never perhaps sustained so heavy a loss, in respect to professional and useful characters, in the same space of time, as in the quick-succeeding deaths of Doctors NICHOL and SMITH, both of them eminently active and successful practitioners.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire rows on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prize are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A concise PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation; so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the thor. suspension indispensable.

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, S K E T C H E S OF THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, From the peace of 1783, to the termination of the present Session of Congress. BY MATTHEW CAREY. CONDITIONS.
 I. This work will be comprised in two or three octavo volumes, each about 400 pages.  II. The price to subscribers will be two dollars per volume, handsomely bound.  III. No money will be required till the volumes are delivered.  IV. Should any of the subscribers disapprove of the work when complete, they may decline receiving it.  V. It is expected to be ready for press in the spring of 1797.  VI. As soon after the above time, as one thousand copies are subscribed for, the printing shall commence, and shall be finished as speedily as possible.  VII. Subscriptions received by the Author, No. 118, Market-street, and by the chief Booksellers throughout the United States. 
TO THE PUBLIC.
THE object of the proposed work, is, to present to public view a connected series of the chief events of a period of American history, that does not yield, in importance, to any period of equal length, in the peaceful annals of any country in the world.
Desiring to excite no expectations but such as he shall endeavour to satisfy, the writer is thus early in announcing, that the body and confidence of a regular history, is not to be looked for in this work; neither his talents, nor his avocations allow him to hope for this. His humbler task shall be to sketch out the most prominent features. It shall be his study to collect and arrange the most interesting materials—to smooth the rugged path—for abler hands, who, by such means, will find their labours abridged, and their progress accelerated.
His chief view will be, to give the History of the United States as a confederated Republic. Nevertheless, notice will be taken of the most remarkable circumstances in the history of the individual States, as far as they can be collected. This information shall be classed under separate appendices.
The Author solicits the assistance of such Gentlemen as may be possessed of documents calculated to promote the execution of his plan. They shall be received with due gratitude—carefully preserved—and safely returned. February 9. 1aw12t

Insurance from Loss by Fire.
THE Insurance Company of North-America, to accommodate the Public, throughout the United States, with respect to insurances from Fire on BUILDINGS of every description, hereby publish, that resolutions to this effect have passed their Board; and that hereafter they shall be ready to make such insurances on terms to be fixed by their President and Committee, agreeably to circumstances. Those who are anxious to effect insurances, will find their advantage in sending the most particular statement of their buildings, and the relative circumstances. Persons not having a correspondent in this city, or who prefer doing this business with the Office directly, by means of Letters, post-paid, must not fail to enclose a builder's description of the dimensions, condition, materials and situation of the building proposed to be insured, especially with respect to its contiguity to other buildings, and whether those buildings be of wood, or brick, or stone. It must be particularly stated, whether the building itself, or those in its neighbourhood, be occupied as dwellings, or used as magazines or manufactories, and for what particular purpose; and to obviate all objection, it is expected that this builder's statement, and the representation annexed, shall be severally signed by the parties, and accompanied by a magistrate's certificate, that they are persons of good repute. For the government of the Public, they deem it expedient to notice, that although the premium must be fixed according to the degree of hazard in the estimation of the President and Committee of the week, yet it will probably not be more than from about half to one per cent. annually, except where a house or store is not only itself built of wood, but situated next other buildings of the same material. On such risks not more than four thousand dollars will be written on one policy. Houses and stores built of brick or stone, and situated in open streets in any of the principal towns or cities where fire engines and fire companies are established, and not containing articles particularly combustible, will be considered risks entitled to assurance at the lowest of these rates. On single hazards, even of the best kind, where from remoteness those advantages cannot be enjoyed, the Company will not assure more than six thousand dollars. No policy will be signed 'till the premium be paid.
Any person insuring for seven years, will be charged only the amount of six annual premiums; and for three years, a deduction of one-third of a year's premium will be made. By order of the Board, EBEN. HAZARD, Secretary. Office of Insurance Company of N. A. } 2aw. Philadelphia, Jan. 26, 1796. }

PROPOSALS, FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION, A NEW EDITION OF MILLAR'S ELEMENTS OF THE LAW OF INSURANCE.
THE present publication shall, by additions to the small Treatise published in Britain in 1787, be augmented to the size of two volumes royal octavo, consisting of at least 600 pages each, on a small pica type.
It had been suggested to the compiler, by many persons conversant in the law and practice of Insurance, that a complete compilation of the authorities on this single subject would be of great utility; to which persons particularly interested in this one branch of law might have recourse, instead of being under the necessity of purchasing and turning over a variety of voluminous publications. To answer this end of convenience, it is proposed to define the first volume of the present work to the reception of a very full collection of authorities; not in a state of abridgment, as was the case in the former edition; and which could never supersede recourse to the originals; but to be inserted verbatim, from the most approved original compilations, and arranged in the mode which appears easiest for consultation.
This First Volume, or Dictionary of Authorities, will comprehend,
1st. The ancient Marine Ordinances of the foreign states of Europe; which form the common law of Insurance. At present it is unfortunate that a collection of these is scarcely to be found any where else than in that scarce and dear book, Magens's Essay, in two volumes, 4to.
2d. The Statute Law of Great-Britain in regard to Insurances. The American legislatures have hitherto done nothing upon this subject.
3d. A very full collection of the reports of adjudged cases in the courts of England and Scotland, and of those of the States of America so far as they can be obtained. This will form by far the greatest as well as the most important part of the first volume. By means of his friends at the English bar, the compiler hopes to bring forward a number of reports of adjudged cases never before published, so as to make the series on this subject more complete than any now extant.
The second volume will consist of an Institute, or Elementary Treatise, on a plan something similar to that of the former edition; but with a great addition of new matter; so as to extend this part of the work to about double the former size. A more practical arrangement will also be studied.
The whole will be attended with very full Indexes of the different parts.
Price to subscribers six dollars and one half for the two volumes in boards.
The work will be put to the press whenever a sufficient number of subscriptions have been obtained to indemnify the publisher for the actual expense of publication.
Subscriptions will be received by Thomas Dobson, and all the Booksellers in Philadelphia. January 19. 2aw6w
