WHEREAS by an act of Congress passed on the seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred, the President of the United States is authorized to borrow, on behalf of the United States, from the Bank of the United States, or from any other body or bodies politic or corporate, or from any person or persons, and upon such terms and conditions as he shall judge most advantageous for the United States, a sum not exceeding Three Millions Five Hundred Thousand Dollars, so however, that no contract or engagement be made, which shall preclude the United States from reimbursing any sum or sums borrowed, at any time after the expiration of fifteen years from the date of such Loan. AND WHEREAS as it is declared by said act, that so much as may be necessary of the surplus of the duties on imports and tonnage, beyond the permanent appropriations heretofore charged upon them by law, shall be pledged and appropriated for paying the interest; and also for paying and discharging the principal sum or sums of all the monies which may be borrowed according to the term or terms which may be fixed pursuant to the authority aforesaid. AND WHEREAS by the said act the faith of the U. States, is pledged to establish sufficient permanent revenues, for making up any deficiency that may hereafter appear in the provisions before mentioned, for paying the interest and principal sums, or either of them, or any monies which may be borrowed pursuant to the said act. AND WHEREAS the President of the United States, did by an Act or Commission under his hand, dated the seventeenth day of May, in the year one thousand eight hundred, authorize and empower the Secretary of the Treasury to borrow on behalf of the United States, any sum not exceeding in the whole Three Millions Five Hundred Thousand Dollars, and to make such contract or contracts as should be necessary, and for the interest of the United States, in pursuance of the act of Congress above recited. NOW THEREFORE, the undersigned Secretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of the act of Congress and the authority from the President of the United States above mentioned—Doth Hereby, on behalf of the United States of America, contract and engage in manner following, to wit:
1st. There shall be created a funded Capital Stock, to an amount hereafter to be designated by the said Secretary, but not exceeding Three Millions Five Hundred Thousand Dollars, which Capital Stock shall be divisible into shares of one hundred dollars each, bearing interest, at eight per centum per annum, payable quarter yearly at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices, where the said Stock may stand credited, until the last day of December in the year eighteen hundred and eight.
2d. After the last day of December in the said year one thousand eight hundred and eight, and after reasonable notice to the creditors, which shall be given by an advertisement in some public newspaper printed at the seat of the government of the United States, the said Capital Stock shall be redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, by the reimbursement of the whole sum or sums borrowed and which may constitute the said Capital Stock, either at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the same may stand credited.
3d. The credits for the said Capital Stock shall and may be separately certified in sums either for one hundred, four hundred, one thousand, four thousand, or ten thousand dollars, and the credits so certified shall be transferable by the creditors, or their attorneys, at the Treasury and Loan Offices respectively, in pursuance of the rules which have been or which may be established relative to the transfer of the funded Stock of the United States.
4th. A sufficient sum of the surplus of the duties on imports and tonnage beyond the permanent appropriations heretofore charged upon them by law—together with the faith of the United States, are hereby pledged for the fulfilment of this contract, in pursuance of, and according to the terms and conditions of the act of Congress herein before recited.
GIVEN under my hand, and the seal of the Treasury of the United States, at Philadelphia, this second day of June, one thousand eight hundred; and of the Independence the twenty-fourth. OLIVER WOLCOTT, Secretary of the Treasury.

REWARD. RAN away from the subscriber, on the 18th of June last, TWO NEGROES, a woman and a boy, the woman named Pat, a well-made woman and cook, of about fifty two years of age—tall and well shaped, of a black complexion. She has bad teeth, those of her under jaw are much discoloured and project a good deal. She has a full head of woolly hair—a very cross forbidding countenance, is very impertinent, and laughs and talks loud. Pat was born in South-Carolina, and speaks bad English, with the negro dialect. She has on the upper part of her breast, two pretty large lumps of flesh resembling Wens, or rather with the appearance of the marks of a burn. She carried away with her several changes of cloaths, and gowns of white mullin, and of coloured and figured printed cottons fashionably made up. She also carried away with her.
CLARA her daughter—a very stout, robust, strong made girl, of a short stature, and round shouldered—appearing to be about 14 years of age. Clara has large flaring eyes, a flat nose, an oval flat face, her under jaw projecting a little, and good teeth. She is very artful and impudent, has a great fluency of speech, uses good language, and has been taught to read. She has the appearance of ring worms on her left cheek and chin; the skin in spots appearing much paler than the rest of her complexion, which is much lighter than her mother's—her hair is short and woolly. She wore a pink grounded printed cotton with a small black figure, with new fore parts. Also ran away, on Wednesday the 11th inst. June, DICK and AMELIA. Dick, or as he has lately called himself, Richard Weaver, is a house-servant—he is about 5 feet 7 inches high, rather small made, is about 25 years old, of a good smooth, black complexion—has a flat nose, with very large open nostrils. He carried his head and neck as if he were stiff in the neck and shoulders, which are high and tolerably square, and his neck short—his legs are straight but small and illly made, with scarce any call. He has had bad teeth, is left handed, and exceedingly awkward—he has a full head of woolly hair, which he plait and dresses to the best advantage. His voice is small, his speech commonly mild and slow, and his manners appear extremely simple, but he is at bottom an artful knave, and when spoken to is very apt to be passionate and impertinent. Dick is a native of South-Carolina, and speaks bad English—he fled and carried away with him Amelia, who he called his wife.
Amelia is a very complete, well instructed ladies maid, much below the common stature and of a small make—her complexion is that of a dark mulatto or melliço, nearly resembling that of the Lafcass of India, with black curling hair, and a very low forehead—her right eye has a great weakness, owing to the small pox in her infancy—under her eyes very black—a flat face, flat broad nose, with scarce any rising at the bridges; a large mouth, with thick lips, and good strong teeth. On the nape of her neck she has the marks of a Seton. Dresses with taste, and imitates the French style; is very sensible, and expresses herself well. She took with her a variety of clothes, fashionably made—she has for more than two years past been liable to fits, which at times give her a wildness in her eyes—her health is generally delicate—she is at present likely to enclose her family, and is about 22 years of age—the colour of her hair, clear flaxen, has a taste for military and mantua-making; and as she is very ingenious, can turn her hand to anything and may probably offer herself to some milliner or mantua maker as a work-woman. As Amelia has heretofore been a great favourite of a very indulgent mistress, and 'tis believed has been led away by the persuasion of her paramour Dick, if she will return to me, she will be forgiven and treated with the same tenderness as she has always received.
FIFTY DOLLARS Reward for each will be paid for the delivery of Pat and Clara to the subscriber, or to any goal in the United States, so that they may get possession of them—One Hundred Dollars each for Dick and Amelia, on the like delivery. The subscriber wants all master of vessels, from taking these Runaway Servants from the United States, and requests such of his friends and acquaintance as it may not suit to arrest them, to give information, should they hear of either of the fugitives, to the subscriber by letter directed to the post office, Philadelphia, which will find him, wherever he may be the summer, or to the Printer of the Gazette of the United States, who will communicate it to a friend in Philadelphia to act on his behalf.

CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,

LONDON, May 19.
EAST INDIES.
The 77th regiment had on the 18th of November embarked at Mangalore in boats for Calicut and Cochin. The second battalion of the 2d regiment, one company of European artillery, under the orders of capt. Cotter, and two companies of Lafcans, were at this date under orders for Genoa. The field army, it was believed, was on the eve of breaking up.
The overland dispatch of Thursday bro't advice that the fine and extensive country between Hyderabad and Seringapatam, which had long been distracted by the ravages of the licentious and daring followers of Doon-tah, have been restored to peace by the judicious and spirited exertions of colonel Dalrymple. The various, and in some instances, formidable fortresses which freebooters possessed or influenced, have all been carried, much of the plunder recovered, and the enemy obliged to fly into the hill country amongst the Coonds for shelter. The troops are so disposed as to prevent any further alarms, and the revenue collections in these newly acquired provinces greatly exceeded expectation. By this conveyance confirmation has been received of the report which stated the defeat of Zemaun Sha by the Seiks, and of his precipitate retreat to Cabul by way of Lahore. The battle was fought on the banks of the Beyah River, and was attended with immense slaughter. It likewise announces that the new Emperor of China had rendered his government so extremely unpopular that vast numbers of his people had emigrated to the neighboring islands. Java, in particular, was crowded with these refugees. The low parts of this island have been afflicted by an epidemical disorder which has occasioned great mortality. The interior of the country abounds with bogs and morasses, and which during the rainy seasons render the air unwholesome. Here the disease has been most fatal. At Maiacca tranquility has been restored, and the greater part of the European troops recalled.
In November last, a large party of Colliers, supposed to be supported by Gapaulkistans, made an excursion from Colloos into the villages of Jalpetty and Jeddapetty, which they plundered, driving off about an hundred head of cattle. The Ryotts, assisted by a few Peons of the Circar, collected to oppose them; an action ensued, in which the plunderers were victors, killing and wounding several of the aggrieved natives.

The company's ship Asia was on the 1st of November nearly deroied by fire; she was loaded with cotton for China, and had nearly completed her cargo. The fire was first discovered in her main hold, and had acquired such force that it extended rapidly, and threatened to defeat every effort for its suppression; by the extraordinary exertions, however, of Captains Gibson and Pope, the crew of the vessel, and the master Attendant Anderson, the flames were at length extinguished.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
Wednesday morning the Earl of Thanet and Mr. Ferguson, made their appearance in court. The Noble Earl entered into a recognizance of 10,000. and his Grace the Duke of Bedford and Lord Derby entered into a recognizance of 5000. each, for the Noble Earl's good behaviour, for the term of seven years, to commence from the expiration of his imprisonment, which will take place on the 9th of June. Mr. Ferguson entered into a recognizance of 5000. and the Hon. Mr. Bland and Mr. Bofwell in 2500. each, for his good behaviour, for the same term.
His Majesty observed to Mr. Sheridan at the levee on Wednesday, the great satisfaction he felt at the audience having remained in the Theatre during the confusion which took place on Thursday sen'night. It is supposed that Mr. Sheridan attributed this, with a proper compliment, to his majesty's magnanimous composure, observing that any disorder, or retirement from the royal box, would have been attended by a press at every door of the theatre, and probably with the loss of many lives. His majesty's answer, however, is certain, for it was spoken in an elevated and firm tone, and heard by the whole of the surrounding circle. "I believe (said he) it might have been so; but I should have despised myself forever if I had stirred one inch—a man on such an occasion, should immediately feel what is his duty." This remark was repeated throughout the levee by all who heard it, and highly admired by every person present.
From a recent enquiry it appears, it is said, that Hadfield, who attempted the life of the king, has very lately been in the habit of frequenting houses known as the resort of the most violent democrats, especially while the clubs existed; and also that persons known to have been of that description, are not unacquainted with him, nor do they suppose him insane. On the other hand, those of a contrary opinion, and who have also been familiar with Hadfield, do not produce any instances of his insanity, except such as are common to many others in a state of intoxication, such as a noisy and obstreperous behaviour; but no previous act of violence upon himself or any other person. Hence a person belonging to the same benefit club, urging Hadfield's derangement, was obliged to reply, upon being asked if they took madmen into their society, that Hadfield "was not so mad as that."
Inquiry has also been made into the length and the nature of the intimacy between Hadfield and Truelock, the cobler.
This dangerous enthusiast, whom, it seems, Hadfield met at the review, has a propensity for dangling after, and tampering with, the military. In consequence of his recent interference with the London militia, while upon duty near White conduit House, (where he talked of their doing without a king, &c.) he had a very narrow escape from being taken into custody. In tracing the report that Truelock had been an occasional field-preacher, it appeared that his neighbours knew nothing more of his oratorical abilities, than he has sometimes had half a dozen men at a time talking with him at the window of his stall, in White Lion street, Islington.
May 28.
A sentinel on the gangway of the Sampson prison-ship at Plymouth, in a violent gale of wind last week, was blown into the Tamar; a French officer, prisoner, of the name of Le Fevre, immediately jumped into the sea, and with great difficulty, tho' an excellent swimmer, saved the drowning marine, and swam with him along side almost exhausted; they were at length taken on board, and soon recovered. This generous trait of humanity being represented to the British Government, a full passport without exchange, was immediately sent express to the agent for prisoners of war at Plymouth, for Le Fevre to return to his friends in France without any expense, with a certificate of his generous conduct to the French Commissary at Morlaix. He failed last week in a cartel, and is arrived safe at the above port.
Sunday morning Major Cookson's Company of the Royal artillery were embarked at Portsmouth on board his Majesty's ship Diadem. That ship was afterwards to proceed to Cowes, to receive on board, in company with the Tourterelle, of 32 guns the 92d regiment. The artillery have two howitzers and two six pound field pieces. This armament is to sail with sealed orders, so that their destination is unknown.

General Vandamme has arrived at Paris. He left the army in the best disposition. He is going to command in the departments of Belgium, where the English appear to threaten a debarkation.
In the answer returned by General Maffena to the Summons of General Melas, he demanded a general amnesty, and free departure for every one who should wish to quit Genoa; confirmation of the sale of Genoese national property; the free departure of the French army, with covered waggons, arms, baggage, ammunition, artillery, and other military stores, partly belonging to the French, partly to the Genoese republic; liberty to the French army in Genoa to re-commence hostilities immediately on arriving on the French territory; lastly, that after the departure of the French, the Au-
strians do not impose a contribution on the city. These proposals were totally rejected by General Melas.
FALMOUTH, June 1.
The following cutters which arrived here in the course of last week, have received this evening sealed orders from Plymouth, to proceed to sea to a certain latitude, early to-morrow morning when they are to open their orders:—Repulse, Dolphin, Speedwell, Greyhound, Falcon, Swan, Rose and Swallow.
A Packet was said to be seen in the offing, supposed to be the Earl Gower, from America.
THE NORE, June 1.
The Ariad's large cutter, coming from Sheerness yesterday, upset in a sudden squall with a lieutenant, gunner, 2 midshipmen, surgeon's mate, and purser's steward; in the whole 17 persons; after remaining 20 minutes in the water, a small boat from the Malvina merchant brig was observed rowing to their assistance. Lieutenant Scott, with a presence of mind that does him great honor, observing the gunner nearly exhausted, quitted hold of the mast he had grasped, directed the boat first round to his assistance, at the same time, although unable to swim himself, he supported the purser's steward and a midshipman who had quitted their holds, and were actually sinking, until the boat took them in also; then encouraging the men to be collected, they one by one made the boat, and afterwards himself.
PARIS, May 29.
It is said that general Mack has not been received at the court of Vienna, where he presented himself. He is entirely disgraced, it is said, for having shewn himself devoted to the party of the Archduke Charles, and for having surrendered to general Championnet.

Any person moderately skilled in the English language, and in the laws of logic will have instant occasion, in perusing the Aurora to apply to that paper the following lines from GIFFORD.
“Abortive thoughts, that right and wrong confound, Truth sacrificed to party, sense to sound; False glare, incongruous images combine And noise and nonsense clatter thro’ the line.”

The Editor of the New-York Daily Advertiser remarking on the news received at Charleston, of the storming of Genoa, says— “Our readers will recollect that our last accounts by the Factor, state that on the 15th of May, Genoa still held out, and daily expected to be relieved by Buonaparte, who had crossed the St. Bernard and arrived at the foot of the Grand Alps on the 18th, which is only about four days march from Genoa; therefore if the above account be true, Genoa must have fallen between the 15th and 22nd of May, which is not impossible; but from there being no mention of the day of its surrender we are inclined to think the account is premature.”
On the same subject the Editor of the Commercial Advertiser observes—
“Since receiving the above account by mail, we have conversed, with a gentleman who came passenger in the brig Retaliation, arrived last evening at the Watering place, in 52 days from Lisbon, which place she left the 26th May—who informs that the day before he sailed, a packet had arrived in six days from Genoa, with the particulars of the capture of the whole of Massena's army by the Austrians as above stated, and that it was generally believed in Lisbon.”
“This packet must have left Genoa on the 19th of May, which is four days later from that quarter than by the Factor. That Mr. Las should storm Genoa need not be wondered at—He new that Buonaparte was advancing to relieve Massena—and he also knew, that if he could effect the destruction of Genoa, he could change the front of his army, and face that of the Chief Consul of France. Therefore, if Melas has acted thus, which we are inclined to believe, he has acted well.”
Extract from Mr. Jefferson's speech on assuming the office of Vice-President.
“I might here proceed, and with the greatest truth to declare, my zealous attachment to the Constitution of the United States; that I consider the union of these states as the first of duties the preservation of that constitution which secures it; but I suppose those declarations not pertinent to the occasion of entering into an office whose primary business is merely to preside over
the forms of this house; and no one more sincerely prays that no accident may call me to the higher and more important functions which the constitution eventually devolves on this office. These have been justly confided to the eminent character who has preceded me here; whose talents and integrity have been known and revered by me through a long course of years—have been the foundation of a cordial and uninterrupted friendship between us, and devoutly pray he may be long preserved for the government, the happiness and prosperity of our common country.”
“* We find that notwithstanding Mr. J's prayer, he has no objection to meeting with this ACCIDENT.”

It will be remembered [that the present Governor of Pennsylvania, in his answer to what the Senate had said respecting his appointment to office of the most infamous characters, observed—
“Let my appointments be judged by an impartial test, and I flatter myself I am rather entitled to the approbation with which the House of Representatives has honoured me in an answer to the same address, than the denunciation of a small majority of the Senate.” [N. B. This small majority was more than 2 to 1, viz. 15 to 6.]
“Without regard to any personal feeling I have selected, and shall always deem it a duty to select, for public stations, men who are tried and faithful friends to the genuine principles of our republican institution!”
Now ye virtuous Democrats, compare the above with the following, and judge by that “impartial test” to which you are invited by your Nabob, whether he is entitled to approbation, or whether he is not justly entitled to the universal execration of every class of citizens throughout the state.

MR. HAMILTON, I Was one of those who voted for the election of Governor McKean, under the idea that he was a REAL republican and that the people would be happy under his administration. His violence shortly before, and immediately after his inauguration somewhat surprised me, but on recollecting that much abuse had been published against his character, I was willing to allow him some share of reparation or satisfaction. It is with much pain, however that I perceive the Governor has persevered in a line of conduct that as a republican, it is my duty to reprobate, as much as it is my duty to resist tyranny or arbitrary measures in any shape. I had never contemplated that the Governor would appoint to office a great number of BAD men. As I find these things have been done I have withdrawn my friendship from Mr. McKean. I know that a number of my friends would be displeased at me for doing so, but I cannot surrender my sentiments to mere party views. I trust they will all soon be convinced that I am right according to the true republican principle. It was with pain I heard of the appointments of Robert Philson, Benjamin Ogle, Judge Brannon, Henry Sperling, Teich Coxe, Holler &c. &c. but I think it my duty to furnish you with a case equally striking and lame table.

Guest, Sir, my surprise on finding that Governor McKean had appointed the same Frederick Stiver: on the 11th June, 1800, a “Justice of the Peace for the township of Lebanon, in the county of Dauphin.”
On enquiry, I find that additional proof of these facts can be had in the Borough of
Lancaster. The robbery was committed on the floor of Mr. Moore of Lebanon.—Mr. McKean was then Chief Justice of Pennsylvania.—Is any comment necessary? Can any Republican unless he is blinded by the most obstinate prejudice, any longer hesitate to give up the man who has varied from his real wishes.

ADVERTISEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.
FROM some trifling hint thrown out in this paper, persons have supposed that it is rather vulgar, sensible, or improper, to be talkative at the Theatre. There is no doubt but a great found may drown a smaller one; yet, in a free country, it is a principle, that the tongue shall not be manacled. The public are therefore respectfully informed, that the subscriber has a great assortment of SPEAKING TRUMPETS, lately sent in by the gentleman who superintends the Whispering Gallery at St. Paul's in London. They are made so as to be kept under the arm without being discovered, and the voice of the loudest prattler can be easily conveyed the extent of two boxes without being heard by bystanders. Its portability, its convenience in saving ladies the trouble of being handed from one box to another, and withal, its found being only heard by the person to whose ear it is directed in a straight line, are considerations worthy the attention of “The Loquacious.” A neat criticism on deals—too great an accuracy observed in laying on the red and White on a cheek—the eye-brow not properly pen-cilled, or the fashionable wig being rather too much on one side, or its colour CHANGED since worn at the last play, are objects, that the subscriber flatters himself will recommend his Speaking Trumpet. He has some small ones for young ladies not longer than a cigar tube.

“I am astonished at the abuse which some of your papers pour on General Hamilton. Is any man's popularity so tottering, as to require being propped by sacrificing the reputation of men who stand foremost in the confidence of every sound federalist.—Men who tread the firm step of conscious honor, and pursue with uniformity a line of conduct which alone will secure the feats of power from the pollution of Jacobinism, and prevent a desperate faction from running our political barque upon the rocks of perdition.—Men, who having formed their opinions, and tested them, do not change with the varying breeze; nor, from the impulses of obstinacy, self-consequence, or grovelling suspicion, fly in the face of proud vaunted and solemn declarations, and in a moment prostrate what years have been employed to erect.” “I now, from some symptoms which have been manifested among the New England men, we have some little reason to apprehend that the votes will not be unanimous for Mr. Adams and Pinkney. If they are not, as sure as Jehovah liveth, a Jacobin Captain will command—and that commander will be Jefferson.”
A meeting of the friends of the Federal Government is requested at Dunwoody's Tavern on Saturday next, at 11 o'Clock in the morning, for the purpose of nominating Candidates for the several elective Offices, to be filled at the ensuing General Election. Philad: July 24th, 1800.

A PROPOSAL BY William Young Birch, AND Abraham Small, Of the City of Philadelphia, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THAT INVALUABLE WORK, DR. RUSSELL'S HISTORY OF Modern Europe. With an account of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the Rise of Modern Kingdoms, &c. &c.
THE great applause which this excellent book has received, is a sure proof of its merits—The vast sale which it has had for several years, is a fair criterion by which the public opinion of its worth can be known. During the life of the learned author, it went through the annual sale of a very large impression—every succeeding edition received some improvement the result of his deep researches and great judgment—he lived to make it as perfect as in the nature of things it could be—he is dead! Whilst the English language remains a monument to his fame! It is as entertaining as instructive; as interesting as profound. The plan of the work is copious, but by a happy arrangement, the reader is at once presented with the cotemporary history of every part of Europe. The book now offered to the public is from the last and most correct copy, to which this shall be no way inferior.
IT CONTAINS— An history of the decline and fall of the Roman empire. The rise of modern kingdoms, generally. A particular history of the French monarchy. Do. Spain from the dominion of the Visigoths. Italy, with the rise and progress of the Temporal Power of the Popes. Britain, from its relinquishment by the Romans. Ireland. The German empire, from Charlemagne. The empire of Constantinople to its overthrow. Empire of the Arabs. Rise and progress of the Turks and fall of the Greek empire. History of Portugal; View of the progress of Navigation; Conquests in the East and West Indies; Discovery of America, &c. History of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Poland and Prussia; North-America as connected with European history. A very comprehensive and highly useful chronology.
CONDITIONS. I. The whole shall be comprized in five large octavo volumes, printed in the best manner, on a superfine paper. III. It is intended to deliver one volume every two months, at the price of Two Dollars per volume in boards, payable on delivery. II. As it may be inconvenient to deliver them to distant subscribers in single volumes, those who wish it, may let them remain with the publishers until the whole are published.
The work is at press and will be printed on a beautiful new type call for the purpose. The encouragers of this undertaking may rest assured, that nothing now foreseen shall delay its regular production; so that in one year at farthest the citizens of the United States shall be presented with an American Edition of Doctor Russell's History of Modern Europe, equal to the English copy, and at a lower price.
