The latest intelligence as infimo imports that the news of the pretended death of Jefferson had reached those borders. Whereupon a convention was called by Voltaire, Mirabeau, and Condorcet, to devise a plan for receiving his red-skinned shade with civic honors. Pluto, indignant at the approach of so foul a monster, suddenly wrapt the fraternalizing miscreant in a more sulphureous flame, whilst a friend, flitting thro' the hideous glare, proclaimed, Jefferson still lives to curse and scourge the earth.
The reported death of Mazzei, whilst it filled with astonishment the disciples of the Devil, excited a more extensive sensation among good Federalists, than the occurrence could justify. It was natural, to be sure, to honest men, to rejoice at the decease of vice and immorality in the world; and so far the death of our vice, would be very well: But in any political point of view, it is difficult to perceive of what importance it could prove. The good is at best equivocal: As thus; Jefferson died, Jefferson was buried; Jefferson returned to dust; the dust is earth; of earth all men are made: and why of that earth whereto he was converted, might not a more deleterious composition succed to his pretensions?
STEVEN AND McKEAN.
The attempts that have been made to palliate the guilt of Steven, or rather of McKeen, reminds me of the following anecdote related in Boswell's Life of Johnson. Boswell was endeavouring to apologize for a lady who had been divorced from her husband for adultery, alleging the misconduct of her husband, &c. &c. in her defence—Johnson flopped him at once with this excellent remark: "My dear Sir, never accustom your mind to mingle virtue and vice. The woman's a whore, and there's an end on't." Let us not mingle rogues and honest men; the man's a thief and there's an end on't.
NATURAL HISTORY.
The following Anecdote is worthy of notice, as it shews the domestic nature of the Lapwing, or bastard Plover, (Fringilla Vanelus) as well as the art with which it conciliates the regard of animals, differing from itself in nature, and generally considered as hostile to every species of the feathered tribes. Two of these birds were put into a garden, where one of them soon died; the other continued to pick up such food as the place afforded, till winter deprived it of its usual supply; necessity soon compelled it to draw nearer the house, by which it gradually became familiarised to occasional interruptions from the family. At length, one of the servants, when she had occasion to go into the back kitchen, with a light, observed that the Lapwing always uttered his cry "pe-wit" to obtain admittance. He soon grew more familiar; as the winter advanced, he approached as far as the kitchen, but with much caution, as that part of the house was generally occupied by a dog and a cat, whose friendship the Lapwing at length conciliated so entirely, that it was his regular custom to resort to the fire-side, as soon as it grew dark and spend the evening and night with his two associates, sitting close by them and partaking of the comforts of a warm fire-side. As soon as spring appeared, he left off coming to the house, and beto k himself to the garden; but, on the approach of winter, he had recourse to his old shelter and his old friends, who received him very cordially. Security was productive of insolence; what was at first obtained with caution was afterwards taken without reserve. He frequently amused himself with washing in the bowl, which was set for the dog to drink out of, and while he was thus employed, he shewed marks of the greatest indignation, if either of his companions presumed to interrupt him.

THE BIBLE.
THOU blessed Book, be near my heart! What joy divine dost thou impart, When, with delight, thy sacred page My fix'd attention doth engage! May light, and pow'r, and grace be giv'n, To shew the path that leads to heav'n; The precious promises apply, And bring the great salvation nigh! How kind is that inviting voice, Which bids me seek immortal joys! Nor lets the threat'nings would I prize, Which warn me where my danger lies. Both food and med'cine here I find, To nourish and to heal the mind; Hence suitable supplies I gain, In health or sickness, ease or pain; Not all the wealth that misers hoard, Such precious treasure can afford! Nor can the joys of sense impart Such satisfaction to the heart! What thou commandest me to do, With vigour would my soul pursue; And learn, with equal zeal, to shun What thou forbidd'st to be done. Thou blessed book, be near my heart! And may I never with thee part; From heedless youth to hoary age, Still let me love thy sacred page.

EPIGRAM.
On the vending counterfeit gilt buttons, instead of the real article. That guilt has punishment to fear, It stands on reason's ground; But where no gilt did e'er appear, Who can be guilty found? Then on what ground, Logicians say Is this strange doctrine built, That Button-gilders—gilt betray, In works quite free from gilt? For if by want of gilt they shew, How much to guilt they're prone; 'Tis passing strange that guilt should flow, From giltless works alone.

THE JEFFERSONIAD
No. V.
"Merchants are useful, and mechanics are the will tools of their customers."
"JEFFERSON'S NOTES."
MR. RUSSELL.
WE have witnessed Mr. JEFFERSON's disinterested unassuming patriotism, in reverence for the deity exemplified in his "pocket-picking" eloquence, his regard for christianity manifested by his boast of disregarding of its sacred institutions, and it is time, that we should proceed to examine; the correctness, and consistency of his theories in politics and philosophy.—As my observations upon that head will be chiefly drawn from that high source of elaborate confection, which "mine enemy" has furnished me, to wit "his book" and as that is totally destitute of any regular order, which I can follow, I shall present the public with such curious and interesting matter as occurs to my mind, without studied arrangements.—ONE REMARK however, I must call the attention of the public, the full consideration of, before I commence my critical operations; that this famous book was written in the year 1781, when the author had much leisure, as the extreme dangers of the country had driven him from his post.—It is the result of calm and serious deliberation.—He had then no view to the Presidency:—It therefore exhibits the man truly, in his native colours—his prejudices which in Philosophers are always obstinate, generally incurable—his bigotted theories which no literary man ever abandons but with his life. He had at that time no motive to concealment, it is therefore free from the hypocrisy of his later productions.—By this fair, and unerring standard, then let Mr. Jefferson be tried, and be persuaded, my fellow-citizens, that whatever may be his present professions, here is the mirror in which you may see the man as he is, and where to serve the objects of ambition, he has modernly disclaimed or contradicted his own doctrines, let it be considered, as unequivocal proof of the insincerity, frailty and hypocrisy of his character.
No Jacobinical ditty has been so often repeated, and no one in such melancholy strains, as the impolicy, the wickedness of encouraging British Manufactures.—This is a never failing spring of democratic eloquence.—The mechanics of this country, have been not unfrequently roused to paroxysms of rage, by this interesting topic, and in the sombre pages of our history, are recorded mobs and riots, the fruitful offspring of "Chronicle denunciation" of foreign manufactures. The mechanics, too, have been taught to believe, that they were the sinews of Government, and have been told, in my opinion with reason, that they were a principal support of the government by their industry, intelligence and virtue:—But what says Mr. Jefferson, who is now vaulting into the chair of state? Hear this, thou manufacturer of ropes, and exciter of sedition! Harken, thou modest man, of I a, and vote-making industry!—Listen and blush for your support of the man who despises you:—"The political economists of Europe," says Mr. Jefferson, "have established it as a principal that every state should endeavour to manufacture for itself, and this principle like many others we transfer to America, without calculating the difference of circumstances."—"Those who labour in the earth" (that is the Roxbury Farmers) "are the chosen people of God, IF EVER he had a chosen people, whose breasts he has made his PECULIAR deposit for substantial and genuine virtue." [Mr. Jefferson is a cultivator of the earth, modest and virtuous man!]—He goes on, "This is the focus, in which he keeps alive that sacred fire which otherwise [that is, if the Virginia and Roxbury farmers were gone] "might escape from the face of the earth."—"Corruption of morals," says Mr. Jefferson, "is the MARK SET on those who not looking up to Heaven, to their own soil and industry as does the husbandman for subsistence, depend for it on the casualties and caprice of customers."—Is this true Honesty? If it is, you and your master are at variance. The Philosopher proceeds—"Dependence begets venality." In other words, you mechanics of the United States may be bought and sold.—"Let us then" says he, "never wish to see our citizens occupied at a work bench, nor twirling a distaff." "Let our work shops remain in Europe." "It is better to carry provisions and materials to workmen there." "The loss by the transportation of commodities across the Atlantic will be made in happiness and permanence of the government." "The MOBS of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as SORES do to the strength of the human body." See Mr. Jefferson's Notes, pages 273, 4, and 5.
From the above extracts the following propositions are manifest:
1st. That Mr. Jefferson is an enemy to American manufactures, absolutely and forever, because we shall always have land to cultivate.
2d. That he considers the trade with Great Britain our most valuable trade, because she is the cheapest manufacturing and now the only country which could supply us.
3d. That he of course approves of the British treaty, or ought to approve it, as it keeps us in peace with the only nation which can furnish us.
4th. That he considers all the merchants of the United States, to many curses instead of blessings, corrupted, venal, dependent hypocrites, who will sell their votes, their rights, and their consciences to gratify the caprice or obtain the good will of their customers.
5th. It is a matter of curious remark, that while Mr. Burke has been abused as the tool of despotism, for calling the great mass of the people, "a swinish multitude," Mr. Jefferson, the friend of the people, the hater of tyranny, the advocate of revolution, compares his masters, the sovereign people, to "hogs in the human body."
In vain shall he shield himself by saying, that he alluded to mobs—for mobs cannot exist without men—those men must be the dear people whom Mr. Jefferson professes, and only professes to respect;—And further it was of that very mob, and a worse creature, a London mob, of whom Mr. Burke was speaking when he uttered the phrase so obnoxious to Jacobinical ears. Whatever may be our opinion of the correctness of any of the above sentiments of Mr. Jefferson, it is certain that they are in direct opposition to his present language, and conduct—to the professions and principles of his models, the French, patriots—and to the maxims and doctrines of the foul faction of which he is the head. But Mr. Jefferson is as inimical to Commerce as he is to manufactures.—This might be fairly inferred as a corollary from the above propositions.—For if we can have no mechanics we can have no commerce.—His denunciation extends to all classes of citizens except husbandmen.—In page 275, he says "as the aggregate of all other classes of citizens bears to husbandmen, so is the sound to the unhealthy parts.—It is a barometer to measure the degree of corruption." So that our merchants, mechanics, lawyers, physicians and clergy, are all, the unfound, corrupt parts of the community.
But Mr. Jefferson has left nothing to doubt, upon this subject. In page 290 of the same famous work, he declares "that it might be better for us "to abandon the ocean altogether;—to leave to others to bring what we shall want and to carry what we can spare." "This would make us invaluable to Europe, by offering none of our property as prize and turn all our citizens to the cultivation of the earth." "It might be time enough to seek employment at sea, when the land no longer offers it." In other words, when we have cultivated every acre of this extended continent, it will be early enough to turn our attention to commerce. Here then in language not to be misunderstood, this pious, learned, patriotic, and wise candidate for the first office, in a great, powerful, enterprising, commercial nation, advises and recommends the abolition of our commerce. In direct terms, he disapproves the carrying trade, that stalking horse of Jacobinism—the ground work of much famed resolutions of the wily Madison.—The great, avowed basis of hostility to Jay's treaty—and one of the most fertile and useful topics of street-corner barragues, and town-meeting eloquence.
This, however, is one of those darling sentiments of the Philosopher's soul, which with the ardour of parental affection, he has to this day cherished and supported; Believe me, honest and industrious merchants I too much funk in torpor and inactivity, it is the favourite maxim of this leader of fashion, that our commerce must be destroyed—"Delenda est Carthago" is the perpetual motto of his life, and he will not rest contented until he sees your anchors beaten into plough-shares, and your rudder irons into pruning hooks.—Do you want further evidence than his own explicit declarations? Perhaps you will say, that he has changed his system of policy, that experience has taught him the lessons of wisdom.—Know then, that time has riv'd him in his prejudices. The errors of his youth like the imperfections of the aged oak, have stiffened and become incurable by age.
When the proposition for arming in defence of our commerce against French aggression was made, this great patriot revived his old doctrine of the impolicy of encouraging commerce, and with the rapidity of electricity, the shock was instantly felt in the extremities of the jacobinical body, in Maine and Georgia. In one short month we heard the same language in Tennessee and in Boston, in the province of Maine; the patriots of Cambridge, Roxbury, Harvard, and Abington, feeling a lively and personal interest in the commercial welfare of the country, in which they were so large partakers, recommended the laying up of our ships, and employing our seamen on the land, where "they would soon make the wilderness to blossom as the rose." See the address from Abington.
Nor is the project yet abandoned; it is a fact well established, that this is the system which Mr. Jefferson and his party mean to pursue, when they get into power. They earnestly contend, that it is the interest, and the policy of the United States to cease to be a commercial nation, and confine themselves to agriculture alone. That in this way we shall avoid European contests, and all the expenses of a naval establishment; that so necessary are we to Europe, that
they will come and beg us to part with our superfluities, and take theirs in exchange, and that this will promote our pecuniary as well as political interests. Thus sacrificing to the vulgar prejudices of the landed interest, your cities, your merchants, your seamen, your fisheries, your artificers connected with commerce, and all this to the eventual ruin and destruction of your agriculture. For miserably short sighted must be that farmer, who does not perceive that his interest is directly and beneficially affected by the flourishing state of our commerce; or who can believe that his productions will bear a higher price at market when saddled with the heavy expenses of foreign carriers, and exposed to the impositions which would necessarily arise from the diminution of the number of competitors for his various products.
Such, however, ever have been, and such with increased violence, still are the prejudices of this Southern philosopher, who secrete in his cool grotto at Monticello, and fanned by his slaves, who are the cultivators of HIS EARTH, looks down with tranquil indifference, upon the distresses which would arise to the industrious merchant and laborious mechanic, upon the annihilation of that commerce to which they look up for support.
I shall consider some further theoretic opinions of Mr. Jefferson in my next.
JACIUS.
From the CONNECTICUT COURANT.
No. IV.
To the People of the United States.
I am now to establish the last part of the first proposition, viz. That Mr. Jefferson, and his party, have long endeavoured to destroy our Federal Constitution. And here I shall remark once, for all, that I consider every effort which has been made, every plan which has been pursued, by the democratic party, as being directly or indirectly, chargeable to Mr. Jefferson. He is perfectly their chief, that we might as well impune measures to feet without heads, as to ascribe conduct to any of his subordinates, without presupposing his consent and approbation.
Having, as I think, shown Mr. Jefferson's hostile spirit towards the constitution, it will not be surprising, that he should be found on the side of its enemies. Accordingly the moment the government begins to operate, we find him at the head of a party organized to frustrate its measures, and to check its progress. From the establishment of the funding system, to the end of the last session of congress, the party has pursued one course, viz. to oppose the government. The funding system, the bank, the proclamation of neutrality, the treaty with Great Britain, the raising of troops, the establishment of a navy, the direct tax, the Alien and Sedition Laws, the annulling the French Treaty, stopping the intercourse with the French, &c. &c. have each in their turn, been opposed by the democratic party, with the utmost vehemence. Now, if it could be reasonably supposed that this party were friends to the Constitution, and only disliked certain measures of the government, there would be some apology for them. But, let me ask, if this was their disposition, would they not have proposed other measures, as substitutes for those which have been adopted, and in this way have offered a choice. Instead of that, I think I may say, without danger of contradiction, that the democratic party, has never proposed, or brought forward in congress, one important original measure for the consideration of the legislature, since the establishment of the government, Mr. Madison's, (or rather Mr. Jefferson's) celebrated Commercial Resolutions excepted. But, is a government to be administered without measures, or is a constitution a blessing which stands a useless monument, only to be gazed at? This has not proceeded from incapacity in the party. Such men as Burr, Madison, Gallatin, &c. are capable of proposing measures, of forming plans of some sort or other. Yet nothing of this kind takes place.
The only scheme has been to oppose what whatever measure has been proposed by the federalists, and to use every possible exertion to frustrate; in short to adopt the language of one of the leaders of the party, "to stop the wheels of government." I am sensible it is said by them, that it is all done from pure affection to the constitution, that their motives are patriotic, that the members of the party are the friends of the people, the exclusive guardians of their rights. These gentlemen seem to forget, that honesty and sincerity, rarely make many professions. They shew their goodness by their works. Is it a mark of strong affection to the constitution, in the democratic party, that they can oppose the government? If our funding system is bad, what is to be substituted in its place? The federalists did what they thought best; the democrats say it is vile; but none of them is good enough to propose something better. Such conduct argues neither genius, integrity, nor virtue. Indeed, it proves strongly the want of them all.
Another very forcible body of evidence, that the democratic party are endeavouring to destroy our government, arises from the unceasing strain of calumny, which has been poured out upon every friend to its administration. As soon as the federal government began its operations, and its course was in some degree marked out, the most prominent, and influential character were designated for destruction. Mr. Hamilton was the author of the financial system. Accordingly, he was subjected to the vilest abuse, the foulest opprobrium, which could be cast upon him, by the vilest, and foulest wretches, which the dens of mischief could
furnish. This practice was pursued with out any cessation, until he retired from office. Mr. Jay was appointed Chief Justice. A life of unfulfilled integrity, a long devotion of his great talents to his country's cause, and the most eminent and distinguished services, were overlooked, and a torrent of calumny for years, was poured upon him from every Jacobin society, until he sought for peace in a situation, which was less obnoxious to the foes of our government. Mr. Elsworth, one of the ablest, and most virtuous men, which this or any other country can boast of, has had the hardship to render great services to his country, to do his duty. His reward has been detraction. Mr. Pickering, honest, plain, virtuous, dignified, and able, in an eminent degree, in office, is vilified, and defamed; out of office, is pursued to the solitude of the wilderness, to the log-hut in the desert, with a hue-and-cry of slander, falsehood and villainy. It is not necessary to add further names, except the present, and former President of the United States. Mr. Adams, in pushing those measures which have been esteemed Federal, has suffered more foul reproaches, than the depraved inhabitants of Billingsgate bestow upon each other. Common decency—that plain vulgar civility which is paid to the world in general, by the most unpolished members of society, has been denied to the Chief Magistrate of the United States; and conduct more vile, than is practiced by thieves and robbers, has been often ascribed to him by the Democratic party. As long as General Washington was at the head of government, he was the object of their highest vengeance. Aware that his influence operated throughout the country, as an irresistible charm, which gave to government a sovereign energy, to lessen, to undermine, to destroy his great weight, his uncontrollable influence, every art was practiced, every falsehood circulated. When he retired to humble life, on the very day on which that afflictive event took place, the audacious wretch who superintended the vilest newspaper that ever disgraced a free country—the Aurora, proclaimed the day as a Jubilee, a day of thanks-giving, that the man who had done more mischief to the United States, than all others was stripped of the robes of office, and reduced to a simple citizen!
Are not these measures directly calculated to destroy our government? Can we expect, that men of fair and virtuous characters, of upright and patriotic intentions, of estimable manners, and eminent talents, will quit their homes, their families, and their business, to waste their days in supporting a government which is falling a prey to fallhood, to a system of lying; that they will leave situations in which they are independent, respected, and beloved, to encounter evils like those I have been enumerating? It is not to be expected. The democrats know that they shall finally wear out the friends of government; that one after another they will retire from the form which beats upon every head, and leave the constitutional barque adrift in that "tempestuous sea of liberty," which Mr. Jefferson and his party so much admire.
BURLEIGH.
The following character of general Washington appeared in the Aurora of March 6, 1797.
"Lord now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace for mine eyes have seen thy salvation," was the pious ejaculation of a man who beheld a seed of lapinefs rushing in upon mankind—If ever there was a time that would licentiate the reiteration of the exclamation that time is now arrived; for the man who is the source of all the misfortunes of our country, is this day reduced to a level with his fellow citizens and is no longer possessed of power to multiply evils upon the United States. If ever there was a period for rejoicing, this is the moment—every heart in unison with the freedom and happiness of the people, ought to beat high with exultation that the name of Washington from this day ceases to give a currency to political iniquity, and to legalize corruption.
A new era is now opening upon us, a new era which promises much to the people; for public measures must now stand upon their own merits, and nefarious projects can no longer be supported by a name.—When a retrospect is taken of the Washingtonian administration for eight years, it is a subject of the greatest astonishment, that a single individual should have canceled the principles of republicanism in an enlightened people, just emerged from the gulph of despotism, and should have carried his designs against the public liberty so far, as to have put in jeopardy its very existence;—such, however, are the facts, and with these staring us in the face, this day ought to be a JUBILEE in the United States.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, July 31.
It is with pleasure we learn, that there is not a single case of the Fever at the Marine Hospital on Staten Island. Of the three that were affected with it, two have recovered, the other is dead. Tho' there are about 20 on the sick list at the Hospital, there is hardly one who cannot eat his allowance.
NATCHEZ, May 16, 1800.
Yesterday being the day fixed for the departure of Brigadier General WILKINSON, for the Atlantic States, via New Orleans, the following Address, on behalf of the citizens of the Mississippi Territory, was presented to him by Judge BRUN.
To the Honorable Brigadier General James Wilkinson, Commander in Chief of the United States Army on the Mississippi, &c.
THE citizens of the Mississippi Territory offer you this testimony of their approbation and attachment for the regard you have uniformly manifested during your residence in this country for their rights, and interests, and for your constant endeavours to prevent the jealousies and distinctions too common between civil and military communities.
You have, Sir, removed the apprehensions natural to a people who had long lived under a military government, and convinced them, that the troops of the United States have been levied for national defence, and to promote the tranquility and happiness of the citizens.
Your conduct has explained to us the intentions of the Executive of the general government, and has, if possible, increased our attachment to the constitution and the laws of our country, and while we flatter ourselves that your excellent example will be followed by your successor in command, we do unfeignedly lament the cause which renders your departure necessary.
The impressions you leave behind you, are honorable to your character, interesting to our country, and pleasing to the inhabitants, who will ever retain a grateful remembrance of you, and sincerely wish for your happiness and prosperity.
To which the General, after retiring a few minutes, returned the following answer:
To the Honorable Brian Brum, Esq. Senior Judge of the Mississippi Territory.
THIS testimony from the respectable citizens of the Mississippi Territory, of their approbation of my conduct, is highly acceptable to me, and amply rewards my humble endeavors to promote their interests and their happiness, which will ever be dear to me.
Bound by my orders, and prompted by my inclination, to foster good will and attachment towards the national government among the citizens of the western settlements, the assurances of complacency and satisfaction which I now receive from an enlightened community, are highly flattering to me, and will, I am persuaded, prove acceptable to my superiors.
Reposing entire confidence in the professions of regard which are applied in this address, to the general government, I cannot conceal the joy I derive from the avowal, because I am convinced that the dignity, the independence, the happiness and prosperity of my country, and of my countrymen, must, under God, depend on a firm, cordial and steadfast union of the whole.
To establish this important truth, and to correct the delusions which spring from a superficial view of the vast subject, let us examine the position, figure, extent, soil, and production of the United States, and we shall discover, bonds of reciprocal interest and mutual dependence, manifest in no other nation of the earth, the dissolution of which, must infallibly produce intestine feuds, civil wars, desolation and wretchedness.
That such calamities may be long, very long, averted from our country, and that its citizens may enjoy the abundant blessings within their reach, is the first wish of my heart.
To the good people of this territory I acknowledge high obligations, in return for which, I beg them to accept my warmest thanks, with the assurance of a grateful remembrance, and the proffer of my best services.
It is peculiarly pleasing to me to receive a testimonial so honorable from the hand of the first Judge of the territory, in whom I recognize the meritorious war-worn veteran, the acquaintance of my youth, and the man of my affections.
The General was then accompanied by a number of the citizens of Natchez and its vicinity to the river, where he took boat for Loftus Heights, under a salute from the galley, and the liveliest good wishes of the company. I proceeded with the General to Loftus Heights, and saw him set out for the metropolis. The frigate General Green has been dispatched to convey the General and his family, and is now at anchor at the mouth of the Mississippi. Never did I witness more obvious regret than appeared upon both officers and troops upon the departure of their much admired, their beloved commander. Indeed, neither could the expressed, nor still stronger and equally apparent, though silent, impressions of the civil and military on this occasion, have rendered more than was due to the conciliating and attractive character of the General.
Permit me, before I close, to give a very short account of Loftus Heights. Nature (who seems as if she had labored to have denied her aid to Spain on the Mississippi, who seems as if she had labored to elevate her soil where her fans were depressed) although she has been frequently liberal of commanding ground on the American margin of this river, has reserved the display of her sublimity for the barrier post at Loftus Heights. The ground within the sweep
of the fortification are a set of picturesque and beautifully varied heights, capable of an infinite diversity of fortification, but, high above the rest, in proud pre-eminence stands Mount Washington on which the Citadel will be erected. This eminence commands a view whose circle is at least thirty leagues, exactly bisected by the Mississippi river; it overlooks, and all but overshadows, a water battery now in considerable forwardness, under the immediate superintendence of Captain Sterrett; its distance from high water mark is 863 feet, and its elevation above it 294 feet 8 inches. The river directly opposite the salient angle of the water battery is 639 yards wide, and line enough has not yet been let down to discover its depth. I am not equal to a scientific portrayal of the General's plan, but I think it may safely be said that when it is completed it will present the handsome military prospect in the United States.
The Supporter.
The non publication of the Daily Newspaper under my direction instituted "The Supporter, or Daily Repast," which has not appeared since Saturday last, calls for an apology from me to my subscribers and customers; and the derangement in the printing of it being sudden. I had not the opportunity of doing it in my own paper, I therefore take this way of informing my subscribers & readers, that owing to a charge in the printing thereof the publication will be suspended for some time until other arrangements are completed which will be as soon as possible. In the mean time such persons as chuse to add their names to the list of Subscribers are respectfully informed that subscription papers for that purpose continue open at Chalk's Library No. 75, N.

During the suspension subscribers will of course not be charged.

300 Dollars REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the 18th of June inst. TWO NEGRO SERVANTS; viz a negro woman named Pat, a washer-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 impatient, 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 muslin, 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 staring eyes, a flat nose, an oval fat face, her under jaw projecting a little, and good teeth. She is very artful and impu- dent, has a great fluency of speech, uses good lan- guage, 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. one DICK and AMELIA. Dick, or as he has rarely 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 shoul- ders, which are high and tolerably square, and his neck short—his legs are straight but small and illly made, with scarce any calf. He has bad teeth, is left handed, and exceedingly awkward—he has a full head of woolly hair, which he plies and dresses to the best advantage. His voice is small, his speech comely 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 impatient. 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 la- dies maid, much below the common stature and of a small make—her complexion is that of a dark mulatto or melizzo, nearly resembling that of the Lafars 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 eye, very black—flat face, flat broad nose, with scarce anything at the bridge; 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, fashion- ably made—she has for more than two years past been liable to fits, which at times give her a wild- ness in her eyes—her health generally delicate— she is at present likely to increase her family, and is about 23 years of age—she can dress hair, clear flourish, has a taste for military and manua- marking; 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 ten- derness 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 I may get possession of them—One Hundred Dollars each for Dick and Amelia, on the like delivery. The subscriber warns 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 pass 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.
