 Wanted for a few Months, A YOUNG MAN, who writes a good hand, and can be content with moderate wages. Apply to the Editor of this paper. October 18.  A small, but Valuable FARM for Sale. THE SUBSCRIBER owns a Farm of about 200 acres, in the County of York, which he is disposed to sell. It lies nearly half way between the towns of York and Hampton, and is bounded on its southern side by the main road leading from Hampton, through York and Williamsburg to Richmond. It would therefore be a good stand for a Tavern or Store, or the Shop of a Mechanick; the soil is every where fertile, and in some parts highly so; and perhaps no land promises from the nature of soil and other advantages, with more certainty to reward its cultivator. It lies near a Water-Crest and Saw-Mill, and within about two miles of a good publick landing. The river on which this landing is established, is remarkable for the fine quality as well as the abundance of its Fish and Oysters. Upon the upper part of the land, there is a small Dwelling-House, in which there is a tenant for the present year; but the house is of little value; there are no other buildings on the land. Mr. Gerard Robinson, who resides near it will show it to any one disposed to view it, and either he or Capt. Mallory Todd, of Smithfield, or Mr. Richard Young, of Warwick Town will treat for the sale of it, or application may be made to Merit M. Robinson. Smithfield, October 18.

Back River, near Hampton, where said fellow is well known. PETER is about 37 or 38 years of age, stout and well made, about 5 feet eight or 9 inches high, of a black complexion, but when spoken to has rather a down look; has on his breast a flesh mole about one and an half inches wide, and about two and an half or three inches long— Peter was purchased by me about six years ago from an Eastern-Shore craft; he was raised within a few miles beyond Accomack Court-House; I expect he will endeavour to get back there, and from thence to the State of Maryland. If the said Negroes are apprehended without the counties of Norfolk and Princess Anne, the above reward will be given to any person who will secure them in jail so that I get them again, or Fifty Dollars for each; and if taken out of the state of Virginia all reasonable expenses will be paid on delivering them to me near Norfolk, besides the above reward; and if taken within the counties aforesaid, I will give Twenty-Five Dollars for each. Masters of vessels and others are hereby forewarned from carrying said off Negroes at their peril. Thomas Talbot. October 9.

FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE, Price 37 1-2 Cents, A few Copies of LETTERS, Under the signatures of SENEX and of A FARMER. Comprehending an examination of the conduct of our Executive, towards France and Great-Britain, out of which the present crisis has arisen, originally published in the North American. From the Editor's Preface. Great publick exigencies, in free governments, have always called forth great virtue and talents. Thus the passing occurrences of the day prove, that the lapse of twenty-five years has not turned our nation aside from that salutary vigilance of their rights and jealousy of their rights, without which no government could not have been established nor continued. Should we survive the fraud, prejudice and power, which have conspired for our ruin, we shall owe it more to the timely illustrations of the sage, and the heroic devotion of the patriot, than to native good sense and unalterable attachment to liberty in the body of the people. We have here another proof, that the American nation is as conspicuous for its intelligence, as for its civil system, and its unalterable adherence to national freedom. The late attempts upon both, have elicited the whole country. The aged, the retired, the timid, the wavering, and the deluded, have all been brought into the ranks of that phalanx, which is determined to save the country. By such exertions, it must be saved!
Among the pens which have powerfully contributed to this conservative alchemy, is the able and ingenious author of the subjoined letters. His fascinating candour and vigorous argument, have chased away the sophistry and promulgated delusions, which the hand of power has covered with counter purposes and danger. These explanations of our publick affairs, in a conjecture which has involved the life and death of our enviable political constitution, will be long admired. The crisis which called them forth, is alone more interesting, than the dignity of the writer is venerable, and his capacity exalted. June 7.

FRIDAY EVENING OCTOBER 20, 1809.
To Your Friends, O Israel!!
Gen. Armstrong, our minister at Paris, 'tis said, is on his return home—whether Buonaparte has ordered him to quit Paris, or whether our minister could no longer brook the insults of the Corsican tyrant, we are not informed; be that however as it may, 'tis high time that Americans prepare for defence, or yield our liberties to Buonaparte.
The text NO NEUTRALS has long enough been the watch-word for Buonaparte's slaves to get into their clutches Millions of American Property: but the tyrant has his defenders even in our own city—and were his armies to reach here, they would find defenders in the very same persons; true it is that for every act of violence committed upon the persons and property of Americans by the great BEAST, an apology is found for it in our own country. We shall soon see what these Frenchified citizens will say to the following report:
"The American ship Frances, A. Mary, sailed from City Point about the last of June, with upwards of 800 hogsheads of tobacco, bound for London, has been captured by a French privateer and carried to France; the cargo was the property of American merchants residing in this city, in Manchester, and Petersburg." Vir. Gaz.

Magna est veritas, et prevalebit.
Mr. COLEMAN.
We live in times when it is base to be an idle spectator of the critical and alarming situation of our nation, and inexcusable to withhold any means which we may possess of rectifying the errors, of exposing the danger, and of furthering the interests of our country:—But
"'Tis true—'tis pity, and pity 'tis, 'tis true"—that a large majority of our fellow-citizens are unqualified to form just opinions of the actual state of publick affairs; because they receive their impressions, and derive their information from sources which, if they would take time to investigate, they would find to be fraught with ignorance and deception. Therefore it is, that though I have long since retired from the tumult and the cares of publick life, and fain would have "kept the noiseless tenor of my way," along life's down-hill path, and closed my days in the peaceful scenes of my domestic circles, I feel myself called upon by an impulse which I am neither able nor desirous to resist, to impart the information which I possess as to points which nearly and dearly involve the honour and the welfare of our country. It shall be my employment to lay before the publick our actual situation with relation to the powers of England and France, together with the results to be expected from the conduct of each. With these views I purpose from time to time to address my countrymen through the medium of your paper as to those subjects which chiefly agitate the publick mind at this very critical time, when many very valuable, well meaning men are misled by party, or deceived by writers, whose object is not to explain but to confuse—whose aim is not peace but tumult—whose efforts are directed against the best interests of our country, and who hope by the plausible pretext of patriotism and of candour to allure those whom they cannot convince into that gulph of shame and of destruction which awaits themselves.
It is my intention, therefore, as occasion shall offer and time permit, to state the real causes of the confusion and difficulty which have arisen from the disavowal by the British government of the conduct of Mr. Erskine—to exhibit the gross absurdity and ignorance which have dictated the prevalent opinions and assertions on this topic and to show to the people of the United States that they are guided neither by reason, truth, nor interest when they listen to the suggestions of those whose sole aim is to mislead, and whose ascendancy over the publick mind, if not quickly checked, will sacrifice upon the altar of faction, the understanding, the honour, and the very existence of their own country.
For the sake of perspicuity I premise my intention of discussing separately the following points.
1st. It will be shown that Mr. Erskine obeyed neither the letter nor the spirit of his instructions in the arrangement which he made with our government, and which has since been disavowed and rejected by the British ministry.
2d. The opinion which is very prevalent, that Mr. E. had in his possession certain secret instructions which counteracted his publick ones; but that he was actually guided by the former, but ostensibly directed by the latter, will be demonstrated from many powerful considerations, to be founded in ignorance and replete with absurdity.
3d. It will be shown from facts, which I have accurately ascertained, that the affair of the Chesapeake might long since have been adjusted, and the cankering wound effectually healed, but for the adherence to unnecessary punctilio on the one hand, and the want of sincerity on the other.
I shall deduce the unnecessary results by proving that the real interest of this country make an amicable adjustment of our differences with England highly desirable, and that especially from the following considerations, viz.
"That in the event of a rupture with that country the British navy could spare without missing them, vessels fully adequate as well in number as in power to annihilate our commerce. And, that the evils which must be apprehended, are not confined to the present day, but must be looked at as they would operate, when Buonaparte shall be disentangled from his present turmoil, and at leisure to meditate new conquests; for then should we find too surely but too late, that the only barrier between the usurper of France and universal empire is the British navy. These considerations will lead me to review the conduct of the French government, and to state clearly the often agitated but never settled question, concerning the injustice and the violence of the decrees of Buonaparte, the necessity of the British orders in council which those decrees produced—which originated in the principle, and are defensible on the grounds of self-defence, and of the retaliatory system in which one belligerent power has a right to pursue against another.
The consequences of our submission to that tyrant who knows no law but his own ambition, and no bounds but those which the British fleet prescribes, will then furnish some important considerations, and some salutary cautions—and when it is
remembered (which is a well known fact) that the leading men in the government of France make no secret of the contempt which they entertain for our country, our measures and our rulers, it will be well if our government and our countrymen learn ere it be too late, to pause over the danger of friendship with him whose grasp would be to us destruction, and whose smiles are the harbingers of cruelty and death.
Thus, sir, I have given you a sketch of those topics which I propose to discuss—and as I am possessed of means of the most accurate information, on all the points which hitherto have been brought on the political topics, or which are likely to become subjects of discussion, I trust I shall exhibit a train of facts and of results which will repay the trouble of a patient perusal, and erect the banners of triumphant truth on the ruins of defeated error. PHILO.
INSURRECTION IN MAINE.
DIVISION ORDERS—EIGHTH DIVISION.
Augusta, October 4, 1809.
In consequence of a written application from the Sheriff with three of the Justices of the Pleas, for the county of Kennebec, in the words and figures following, viz. Oct. 4, 1809.
"To Major General Sewall, Sir—By the authority vested in us, by an act passed the 20th Feb. 1787, for the more speedy suppression of tumults and insurrections in the commonwealth, we hereby certify to you, that in our opinion it is necessary for the protection of the commonwealth's gaol in this city, and for the suppression of a dangerous combination and insurrection, which we apprehend will be excited, to obstruct the course of justice and the due execution of the laws, that a military force shall be instantly raised and called forth for these purposes, to be armed and assembled in the town of Augusta, in the county of Kennebec, and to consist of 300 men.
"JOHN CHANDLER, Sheriff of the County of Kennebec, "JOSEPH NORTH, "DANIEL CONY,
Two of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas of said county.
"NATHAN L. DUMMER,
One of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas. And the statute above cited, making it the duty of the maj. gen. upon such request being made, to detach such number of the militia as shall be so requested, armed and equipped according to law, and also requiring the immediate service of the militia so detached, under the penalty of ten pounds to each non commissioned officer or soldier—and providing that compensation shall be made by the government to the officers and men so employed.
The major general of the 8th division while he deeply regrets the unhappy occasion which urges these strong measures cheerfully exercises the official powers with which he is by the constitution clothed, in aid of the civil authority and for the suppression of lawless usurpation—and being fully persuaded of the patriotism of the great body of the militia who are resorted to in this process, that they will also cheerfully execute their duty when thus called upon to support the arm of the civil magistrates—proceeds to direct, that 300 men including captains and subalterns, be immediately detached from the vicinity, for the purposes above mentioned, in manner following, that is to say; the North company in Augusta, the North company in Hallowell, the East company in Gardiner, and the East company in Windthrop all within colonel Fillebrown's regiment; the East company of Readfield, in col. Tuck's regiment, and the South company in Sidney, in col. Sherwin's regiment—and that they march immediately on receipt of these orders to the Gaol in Augusta, completely armed and equipped, with 24 cartridges and balls to a man, and with knapsacks and blankets and three days provision, to be provided by the Selectmen of the towns from which the companies are respectively drawn, under the directions of the law for making detachments; and there to be subject to the orders of Gen. Chandler as Sheriff of the county. But the immediate command of the detachment will be exercised by maj. Samuel Cony of Augusta.
And in order to facilitate and hasten the promulgation of these orders, every captain or commanding officer of a company included in the detachment, the moment he shall receive them, will be responsible for their immediate execution within his own company, although they should not pass in the ordinary course through the next superior officers. It is nevertheless required of each and every field officer of the regiment to exert his authority and influence in the speedy accomplishment of their object. And major Samuel Howard is hereby specially charged with the speedy distribution of these orders.
By order of major general Sewall, SAMUEL HOWARD, B. M. And orderly officer of the division, in this case specially appointed.
FROM THE NEW-YORK COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
Peace or War on the Continent.—Our latest London paper contains the following observations on this interesting subject:
"The Hamburg, Paris, and Frankfort papers which we received yesterday, are interesting, tho' they communicate no one fact of great importance with which we were not previously acquainted.—They do not enable us to state with certainty whether peace will be concluded or hostilities recommenced. No notification of the termination of the armistice seems to have been given; and if we were asked to which side our opinion leans, we should say, that peace appears more likely to be signed than war to be renewed. At the same time, the negotiations have certainly continued longer than we thought they would. From the papers we have received we collect nothing but what is vague, doubtful and contradictory. One says that the negotiations are going on at Raab, another that they are to be transferred to Altenburgh in Hungary—one assures us that Champagny is gone to Raab to fix the last basis of the peace; another mentions a congress, at which both Russia and this country are to be invited to send ministers. The latter assertion seems to be the most liable to doubt of all; Buonaparte will make peace with Austria without the intervention of any power. It is not improbable, however, that she has attempted to interest the emperor Alexander in her behalf, and to convince
him that it is not for the advantage of Russia that the Austrian power should be reduced to the same state of feebleness and impotence to which Prussia has been reduced. The delay may have been occasioned by some such step; not that there is any likelihood of the emperor Alexander's acceding to the demand of Austria, nor of Buonaparte's being turned from his purpose, even if the emperor Alexander should see that it is his interest to prevent the utter ruin of the Austrian power. Alexander has lost the opportunity of interfering with effect. He will be made use of as one of the instruments to destroy Austria, and then his turn will come. His destruction is only delayed till Buonaparte has consummated the ruin of his nearest neighbours. He will then find that the generosity of the Corsican resembles very much the generosity of the Cyclops—that it consists merely in a respite of execution.
"The march of fresh troops across the Rhine into Germany, is considered by some as an indication of the resumption of hostilities. It may be so, but may it not be also with a view of intimidating Austria into an acquiescence with his demands, by the display of an increased force, which it may be hopeless to resist?
"We shall now turn from a subject upon which the foreign papers afford us little or no information, to a subject upon which they furnish us with intelligence which we shall be glad to find incorrect.—The Tyrolese are said to have been subdued—brave and injured race!—But by the anxious enumeration of the force employed against them, we see that their subjugation has been a work of difficulty—Had the same spirit pervaded every part of Germany!—Indeed it was rapidly pervading it when the armistice broke the heart of the insurrection, and sealed the ruin of the continent.
"We have examined all the articles relative to the preparations making to resist our expedition. The amount of troops collected from Antwerp to Bergen-op-Zoom, is estimated at 40,000 men. The city cannot, they say, be attacked on the land side, on account of the inundations which can be had recourse to. The main body of the enemy's troops is between Ossendrecht and Santvliet.—Louis Buonaparte's head-quarters are at Bergen-op-Zoom."
Affairs of Spain.—We copy the following from the London Courier of the 31st of August. In this article will be found the substance of the latest dispatches from Spain, received in England from the commander in chief:—
"The despatches from lord Wellington arrived at ten late an hour yesterday, for us to communicate their contents in the whole of our impression. We therefore republish the substance of them to day.—They are dated on the 9th, from Deleitosa, and were brought by capt. Stanhope, who had a very long passage. Lord Wellington when he quitted Talavera, upon receiving advice of the approach of Soult, resolved to march against that general and attack him. He therefore requested gen. Cuesta to remain at Talavera with the Spanish force, in order to hold Victor in check. This request, unfortunately, gen. Cuesta did not comply with—when lord Wellington moved from Talavera to attack Soult, Cuesta followed him, alleging that he did not wish the whole weight and pressure of the conflict to fall upon the British—the consequence of this movement of Cuesta's was the immediate advance of Victor, and a junction between the latter and Soult, being by this means practicable, lord Wellington found it necessary to abandon his intentions of attacking Soult, and to retreat cross the Tagus to Deleitosa—The passage of the Tagus was effected on the 5th, at Puente del Arzobispo; at Deleitosa, lord Wellington considered himself perfectly secure; the enemy had shewn no disposition to attack him, or to abandon the northern bank of the Tagus. A part of our sick and wounded were left behind at Talavera. The Spaniards, we take it for granted, could not bring them away. The French had collected and concentrated their force from almost every part of Spain to act against us. The dispatches do not state whether general Catin Crauford had effected his junction with lord Wellington. Indeed he was not expected to join so soon as the eighth, having been obliged to take the direction of Elves and Merida.
"Such is the substance of the despatches from lord Wellington. They do not fulfil the expectations of his more clumsy, or the predictions of his more artful assailants. He does not expect that he shall be compelled to surrender; and there is nothing to justify the prediction, that he will be forced to fall back upon Portugal, and give up the cause in despair.
"The different armies in Spain are estimated as follows:—Victor, 38,000; Suchet, who has advanced to Madrid, 6000; Ney, Mortier, and Soult, 30,000.—Wellesley, with reinforcements, 24,000; Cuesta, 33,000; Beresford, 12,000; Sir R.

"The resolution of Cuesta to abandon the position at Talavera is deeply to be lamented; for had he not adopted it, Soult would probably have received a more signal defeat than Victor did at Talavera, and the junction between him and Victor would have been prevented. That the reason given by Cuesta for quitting Talavera was the true one, we are not disposed to deny: but this circumstance proves the necessity of there being but one general to whom all others shall be subject. It was stated in the last accounts from Spain, that lord Wellington had been appointed generalissimo of the Spanish armies. There must, however, have been some mistake in that assertion; for had his lordship received the appointment, Cuesta would not have been requested, but would have been ordered, to remain at Talavera.
"Cuesta's non-compliance with lord Wellington's request seems to have afforded the friends of the late ministry much cause for merriment—and they appear almost to have recovered the spirits they had before the battle of Talavera."
Translated for M'Corkle and Elliot's Freeman's Journal.
His excellency and most illustrious viceroy and archbishop of the kingdom of Mexico, don Francisco Le Zona de Beaumont, has ordered the following proclamation to be published the 26th of July, 1809.
INHABITANTS OF NEW SPAIN! I have been promoted, without having wished it, to the supreme government of these vast and arduous dominions, by the providence of God and the grace of Ferdinand VII. our king, represent-
ed by the supreme central junta now governing Spain and the Indies. I find myself now united to you by bonds more sacred and inseparable, at least more public and universal than those which united me before as your metropolitan archbishop.
My sons and my flock, belonging to my venerable suffragans!
THAT now, your eternal happiness has been the principal object of my love, my prayers, and my tears. Henceforward, your temporal felicity will engross my particular attention, and will be the object of my thoughts and my cares. You were before, all my sons in Jesus Christ: I shall now also be your father in the name of the king. Yes, this name, among many which corresponds with the dignity and office of viceroy, is the one which I will adopt among you all, which I have taken in my trembling hands. I say trembling hands: because, having in meekness and humility borne the Shepherd's pastoral crook, it would be an intolerable presumption in me to grasp the sword of Viceroyalty with too much arrogance and confidence. Nevertheless, I have accepted of it as a good bishop and good Spaniard, in obedience to the supreme authority which has confided it to me. I have obeyed; not only for the purpose of giving you all an example of docility and obedience, but also to shew that I have not degenerated, by a scandalous resistance, from your native character, which is docile and obedient.
Inhabitants of Spanish America!
A follower of the Apostles and a Viceroy of the Spanish monarch, does not know, nor ought to know, any sort of adulation. I am a witness of your heroic fidelity, and will be the praiser of your truly patriotic Spanish virtues. And if with the enormous weight with which my weak shoulders are loaded, my soul is not dismayed, it is because I confide in the succours of Heaven so abundantly showered on the Spanish nation, and which I hope to obtain by your religious deportment. I rely also, on the advice of those respectable ministers of the king, of whose knowledge, integrity and zeal, I have the most indubitable testimony: together with the prudent counsel of my dear and venerable brothers the suffragans of this metropolis; and on the prayers of all the regular and secular clergy of this kingdom of New Spain; as well as in the zeal, integrity and experience of the directors and officers of the royal treasury, in all their vast and important branches. I entirely confide in the docility, obedience and peaceableness of you all, beloved sons and subjects of Ferdinand VII. Did I not thus confide in you, what else could be expected from me, a weak man, infirm, and borne down with the weight of the mitre, than an immediate and determined renunciation of the reigns of government.—But I will not do it, while my king and my country demand my few services. To them I willingly sacrifice my repose, and even if it was demanded, my life.
Spanish Americans!
Justice, mercy, and peace, will be my companions, that by them you may enjoy all happiness.—Endeavour to cultivate the arts and sciences in your houses and in your provinces, and carefully attend to whatever will promote the interests of agriculture and the commerce of the mines. And if, through rashness, the barbarous and impious Frenchmen should dare to invade our country, I will immediately grasp the sword, I will put myself at the head of your soldiers, I will defend your houses and possessions, and I will drive away the cruel and perfidious enemies that would presume to disturb your repose, in the same manner as the archbishops of Toledo, Rodriguez, Mendozas and Cisneros, have done before, and as has been done lately by the venerable bishop of St. Andero.
Inhabitants of this Kingdom!
The glory of God and of his holy religion, the interests of Ferdinand VII. and the nation, and your individual happiness and tranquility, will be the sole object of my attention, and the only ends to which my decrees will be directed—Be not afraid that intrigue and influence will have any share in my government. I have most willingly delivered up, for the urgencies of the crown, all that I possessed, I will likewise with pleasure, do the same with the salary appertaining to me as Viceroy.—Yes, generous patriots, our common mother is in want of our succours to finish, with glory, the great work she has in hand; and thanks be to Heaven, it has much advanced, and she hopes to attain it by our love and gratitude. Continue then your donations in abundance, remain united in the sweet bonds of union and peace, and assist your mother Spain to wipe away before the face of the world and for all ages, that black and terrible calumny—which the intruder and false king Joseph published last March in Madrid to deceive all the provinces of Spain and all Europe—that this kingdom was burning with intestine divisions. Oh WICKED!—Know that the Spanish blood never degenerates by having crossed the Atlantic ocean, nor does it lose its spirit and energy in America. Here are worthy sons and grandsons of the conquerors of Baylen, and of the Heroes of Saragossa, Valencia, Catalonia, Asturias, Gallacia and Estremadura, and of all the provinces of Spain. We have in America, brothers and descendants of those who there confounded you with their arms, with their loyalty, and even with their last breath. Tremble now at the name of the Spanish Americans, who, if they have not an opportunity of carrying on the war against you sword in hand, do it with their FIDELITY and their MANNER, which they have sent in abundance to their brothers for your destruction.
Inhabitants of this kingdom!
I have given to you the thoughts and the ideas, with which the archbishop of Mexico commences his government as Viceroy. But I cannot depart from the character of being the successor of the disciples of Jesus Christ, who is the supreme king of kings, and I therefore salute you with the last words which they heard from the blessed mouth of their divine master:—"Peace be with you; I am he, be not afraid."
THE ARCHBISHOP, VICEROY.

A CARD. UNDER grateful impressions to those Gentlemen who manifested a desire of forwarding the proposed "Institution of a County School," and peculiar obligation to the several Printers in the Borough, for their kind and ready aid afforded in publishing the Plan, Circular Letter, and Advertisements relative thereto, the Tutor respectfully presents his thanks; acknowledges; and with painful regret informs them, that, from some unusual aversion of concurrence in too many respectable characters, heretofore promised in acts of benevolence, or, it may be, from some unpopular feature or defect in the plan itself, the further continuance of the School is of necessity at present relinquished. — That such a Seminary has been supported, and a number of poor Children faithfully instructed nearly five months, is pretty well known; — and as it is generally admitted, also, that some remuneration for the Teacher's services ought to be made, he hopes that on application for that purpose, he will not go wholly uncompensated.

Eagle Fire Company of New-York. Office of the Company, No. 59, Wall Street. PROPOSALS For Insuring Houses, Buildings, Stores, Ships in Harbour, Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
THE Legislature of the state of New-York, having incorporated the Eagle Fire Company of New-York, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, (with the liberty of increasing the same, if the business of the company should require it, to one million of dollars,) for the sole purpose of insuring buildings, and every kind of personal property from loss or damage by FIRE; and the capital of five hundred thousand dollars having all been paid, or secured to be paid, according to law: the directors feel a particular satisfaction in offering to their fellow-citizens, throughout the United States, the means of security against that kind of loss which frequently, in an UNEXPECTED MOMENT, involves in destruction the earnings of a life of industry and frugality, and reduces the independent and affluent, together with their families, to poverty and distress. To provide an additional guard against calamities of this nature, has been the primary motive of this Institution; and the directors engage to conduct its concerns, with a fairness, candour and liberality, which will justly entitle it to the confidence and patronage of the public. * * * No insured person will be liable to make good the losses of others; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified. — The Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.
Classes of Hazards, and Rates of Annual Premiums for Insurance against Fire. No. I. HAZARDS OF THE FIRST CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with slate, tiles, or metal. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 62 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. II. HAZARDS OF THE SECOND CLASS. Brick or Stone buildings, covered with wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 93 3-4 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. III. HAZARDS OF THE THIRD CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are part of brick or stone, and part of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 125 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. No. IV. HAZARDS OF THE FOURTH CLASS. Buildings, the sides of which are entirely of wood. Goods hazardous, and not hazardous, contained in such buildings. 187 1-2 cents per 100 dollars per annum, for sums not exceeding 10,000 dollars in one risk. Ships in Port, or their Cargoes, Ships Repairing or Building, may be insured against Fire.
This manner of classing hazards will give a general idea of the rates of insurance, but there will necessarily be an increase of premium in all cases where the local situation, and other circumstances, increase the risk: such as joining, or being contiguous to wooden buildings, or buildings occupied in carrying on hazardous business — distance from water — no engines or firemen in the town or place, &c. &c. — The premiums may also, in some cases, be reduced on wooden buildings in the country, when standing single or detached, or attended with circumstances of peculiar security: — But in all cases, if the sum to be insured on or in the same building exceeds 10,000 dollars, an additional premium will be required. Soap Boilers, Tallow Chandlers, Brewers, Malsters, Bakers, Rope Makers, Sugar Refiners, Distillers, Chemists, Vanish Makers, Stable Keepers, Tavern Keepers, China, Glass, or Earthenware Sellers, Oil and Colourmen, Turpentine Works, Paper Mills, Printing Houses, Coopers, Carpenters, Cabinet Makers, Coach Makers, Boat Builders, Ship Chandlers, Apothecaries, Theatres, Mills and Machinery, and all Manufacturers that use Fire Heat, are deemed extra hazardous, and must be particularly described in the policy; and for all such risks an additional premium will be required.
Conditions of Insurance. I. All applications for Insurance must be made at the office of the company, in writing; and the subject offered for Insurance accurately described. II. If the property offered for insurance is within the district of a surveyor of this company, he will examine and report thereon; but if not within any such district, then the applicant must himself furnish an accurate and just description thereof, viz. of what materials each building is constructed; whether occupied as private dwellings, or how otherwise; where situated; the name of the present occupiers; how situated with respect to other buildings. And in the insurance of goods, wares and merchandise, the place where the same are deposited, is to be described; also, whether such goods are of the kind denominated hazardous, and whether any manufacture is carried on in the premises, all which is to be certified and attested in such manner as the nature of the case may admit. And if any person or persons shall insure his or their buildings or goods, and shall cause them to be described in the policy other-wise than they really are, so as the same be charged at a lower premium than is herein proposed; or if such description be false or fraudulent, such insurance will be void and of no effect. III. Goods held in trust, or on commission, are to be declared as such; otherwise the policy will not extend to cover such property. IV. Every Policy of Insurance, made by this Company, shall be sealed with its seal, and signed by the President and Secretary; and the person for whose interest the insurance is made, must be declared and named therein; nor can any Policy, or interest therein, be assigned but by consent of the Company, expressed by endorsement made thereon.

VII. No loss or damage by fire will be paid, that may happen or take place in consequence of any invasion, civil commotion, riot, or military or usurped power whatever. VIII. Books of Accounts, Written Securities, Notes, Bills, Bonds, Deeds, Ready Money, or Bullion, cannot be insured. IX. Jewels, Plate, Medals or other Curiosities, Paintings and Sculptures, are not included in any insurance, unless such articles are specified in the policy. X. All persons insured by this Company, sustaining any loss or damage by fire, are forthwith to give notice to the Company, and as soon after as possible, to deliver in as particular an account of their loss or damage, signed with their own hands, as the nature of the case will admit of, and make proof of the same by their oath or affirmation, and by their books of accounts, and other proper vouchers, as shall be reasonably required: and shall make oath, whether any and what other insurance is made on the same property; and shall procure a certificate, under the hand of a magistrate, notary public, or clergyman, most contiguous to the spot where the fire happened, and not concerned in such loss, that they are acquainted with the character and circumstances of the person or persons insured; and do know, or very likely believe, that he, she, or they, really and by misfortune, and without fraud or evil practice, have sustained by such fire, loss and damage to the amount therein mentioned; and, until such affidavits and certificates are produced, the loss shall not be payable: — Also, if there appears any fraud, or false swearing, the claimants shall forfeit his claim to restitution or payment, by virtue of his policy. Dec. 7. tf
XI. In case any difference shall arise concerning loss or damage, it may be submitted to the decision of Arbitrators, indifferently chosen, whose award in writing shall be binding on the parties. And when arbitration for damage shall happen, the company shall pay the same in sixty days after the loss shall have been ascertained and proved, without allowance of discount, fees, or any deduction whatever. XII. Insurance may be made for seven years, by paying the premium for six years, and for a less number of years than seven, a reasonable discount will be allowed.
