THE THRIFTY WIFE.
A favourite new SONG. Sung at Vauxhall Garden by Mr. Dignum. Written by Miles Peter Andrews, Esq. Composed by Mr. Hook.
I AM a cheerful fellow, altho' a married man, And in this age of folly, pursue a saving plan: Tho' wives are thought expensive, yet who can live alone? Then since they are dear creatures, 'tis best to have but one: My choice discovers clearly my prudence and my taste, I've a very little wife, with a very little waist. Marrying is a draught we take for better or for worse, And wife is he who can prevent the draft upon his purse; But evils are much lessen'd, when wives are well inclin'd, For if they come across us, they shape them to our mind: When matters are well manag'd, no need to be Strait-lac'd, You may with little danger, increase the little waist. Tho' spouse's so discreet, still each fashion she'll display, Her bosom, Heav'n bless her! is open as the day; Her garment (may I venture a simile to beg it) Hangs loosely from her shoulders, like a gown upon a peg; Yet, fearful of expences, she shortens them, tho' final, And if she goes on shortening, there'll be no waste at all.
From the VIRGINIA GENTINEL, Printed at Winchester.
Address to the President of the United States.
Sir, Having lately understood that a number of persons within this commonwealth have expressed their high disapprobation of the treaty you entered to be made with Great Britain, and which the Senate approved of and advised you to ratify; and that several tumultuous meetings have been held thereupon, as well within this state as elsewhere, with a view, as would seem to intimidate you in the exercise of your constitutional functions; we flatter ourselves that you will excuse our addressing you upon a critical occasion. Various motives have instigated certain descriptions of men to the present agitation, and given uncommon acrimony to their conversation and proceedings. Some, 'tis said, don't like Mr. Jay, because of his superior talents and penetration, and because he may one day or other stand in somebody's way, if they can't get him knocked down. Others, again, don't like him, because, when at Richmond, he said it was right that honest men should not be prevented by acts of Assembly from paying their just debts; and because, at another time, he said to Congress, that before we could with propriety call upon a foreign nation to comply with its engagements to us, we should be certain we had fulfilled our engagements to it. Men who tell the plain truth in republics, seldom stand a better chance for their favours than those who venture to give honest advice to a tyrant, at least bale and affect flatterers never omit such opportunities to put the people or the prince out of humour with such men, and by that means very often supplant them. Others, from their pure love of hot water, which they call republicanism, hate those who have had any hand in keeping us from getting loaded; above all they hate yourself for not being put out of your way, and for sticking so long to the stuff. Others, to whom you have refused the loaves and fishes, or to whom you have not offered enough in their own opinion, take this opportunity to give you a hint of their importance among the people, and at what price you may in future count upon their patriotism. Others, soured by the adoption of the Constitution, that root of bitterness, and boiling with ambition, are glad to seize every occasion to render unpopular some one of its branches, with a view, as would seem to the compassing its overthrow. "Cæsar," says a celebrated English lawyer, "cherished a spirit of licentious popularity against the senate; Cromwell cherished the same spirit against Crown and Senate; both set up a government of their own subversive of true liberty, which ever must be founded in law and protected by it." Lastly, a sixth class, made up of a good natured kind of folks, who having neither the opportunity, the means, nor inclination to examine into the truth of insinuations against government or its ministers, believe, or seem to believe in whatever the other classes tell them, except in the necessity of insurrection.
Are such men in a temper of mind or situation to form an unprejudiced opinion on the treaty—and what ought to be the cool deliberate judgment of the public with respect to some of their proceedings—and how will their children blush, should circumstances come to be known, which the interest of your country may, at this moment, imperiously forbid you to divulge?
As to the full five descriptions of person, who file themselves the true friends of their country, (none of whom, happily, are to be found in this country) we learn, that it is to them that we are indebted for the publications that have filled our papers, showing that the French people ought to be offended at our taking care of ourselves at a very critical conjuncture, and settling an old dispute with England before they had fully adjusted their own. Is this patriotism? Does this show a love of their country?
For our own part, we think the time chosen was the fittest that has offered for these ten years past, for coming to a good understanding with England, without coming to blows; and we don't take it
all kind in these patriots and true friends of their country peace and welfare, to be putting such wild notions into the heads of the French; nor do we give them any credit whatever for running about as they do from house to house, and from county to county, making speeches, and praying that France may be bittled up, and threaten us, for having exercised the rights and privileges of an independent nation.
We do assure you, Sir, that we like the French people very well, and sincerely believe that they will succeed against all their enemies; but tho' our heart has gone with them in their cause, and cannot otherwise than go with them, that is no reason why we should run our heads into a hornets nest in search of honey; or for submitting our affairs to their direction; or that we should not hold it to be very preposterous in them were they to attempt to dictate to us what we ought or ought not to do in our own concerns, or when or with whom we may or may not make a treaty.
We are told that you have cheerfully, fully, & seasonably discharged those pecuniary obligations which our country were under to France; and that in whatever you could serve them further, without a violation of the universally acknowledged duties of a neutral nation, you have done it. We are told, also, that our government have invariably conformed to the treaty with them, whilst they, regardless of our rights arising under it, have decreed its violation by two solemn acts of their Convention.
After all this good faith on our part, and want of it on theirs, is it proper that government should be twitted, abused and calumniated for not having done more when more was not required of it, by either moral or political obligations, and when one step further might have involved us in a war.
On this subject, some say that it is the interest of France to keep us in hot water with England, and the interest of England to keep us in hot water with France: for ourselves, believing it to be our interest to be in hot water with neither nation, we feel happy that you have not suffered us to take a part with either.
As to the Treaty which has given rise to these reflections, we formally declare ourselves well pleased, that by means of your prudence, foresight and skill, we are to have the western posts delivered up to us without bloodshed, a sequestration of debts, or suspension of trade, any one of which measures, once so lightly talked of, must have given a terrible shock to our commerce, and affected every source of our prosperity.
As to the articles of a commercial nature, and whatever in the treaty respects particularly the merchants, having it from good authority that these gentlemen approve thereof, we do not think that we who are farmers, should set ourselves up for better judges of their interest than themselves, especially as there are not wanting ill-natured people who have said that some among them had a strong itch for privateering, and that others had a hawk's eye upon certain commissions, expected from a certain quarter, upon certain cargoes, let the voyage go as it would; circumstances, that had these gentlemen possessed less patriotism, might well be supposed to have given a different turn to their opinions, and made them the instigators of town-meetings and leaders of opposition.
As some of the courts had shut up the courts of justice, so far as to screen those of our citizens who were in debt to English merchants from being sued, and by that means gave the extravagant among them an opportunity to spend their estates, we think it but reasonable that the British creditors, who would suffer by their bankruptcy, should be paid; tho' we confess, at the same time, we had much rather that the courts had been left open, than that we should be obliged to pay debts which we had no share in contracting. For the same reason, we think it right that Great-Britain has agreed to pay our merchants the amount of all illegal captures, made under color of her commissions, and are very well satisfied to find it a part of the treaty, altho' the people of England, who have divided none of the prize money, may justly complain.
As to the articles which are intended to keep us honest, and make the people of the two countries good natured, and obliging to each other—we really think they were much wanted, whatever may be the opinion of the people of Norfolk.
As to there being no article about our negroes, we are truly sorry for it; but we do not conceive that their value was of sufficient magnitude to have justified a breaking off the treaty, or to have made it an absolute condition to negotiation.
As to the treaty, in general, we do not think that we are such absolute masters of the flesh as to have entitled us to have carved for both them and us.
As to the gentleman who brought it prematurely to light, though he may be well enough as a Midwife, by no means think him qualified for a midwife.
As to yourself, Sir, who have had so great a hand in all these momentous transactions, which have resulted in our present prosperity, so unparalleled in the history of nations; we acknowledge ourselves under great obligations to you, and fervently pray God to lengthen your days, and that you may long long be our President.
Signed in behalf of a numerous meeting of the people of Greenbrier county, convened the 20th of September, 1795.

"There is a Lion in the Streets."
TRUST me, my readers, that there will be Lions in your houses too, if you listen too credulously to idle tales and text.
Enterprise and action are the fruits of success in business, and grandeur in character. The value of a man is not to be estimated by the possession of talents, but by their use. He, who can speak, or write, or labor, and is neither an orator, nor an author, nor a husbandman, I pity from my soul; and regret, that though he has courage, yet is afraid of the Lion.
Such there are of the most timid of sonages I know.
she haunts the streets, and invites to the tavern. A young student wakes at five—the morning is frosty, but though Duty commands to rise, Sloth whispers, "there is a Lion in the streets."
Many lots of my acquaintance would be more sober than my Deacon, were they not driven to drama by harsh creditors and scolding wives. Creditors that insist upon present pay, and wives of clamorous tongues, are undoubtedly ugly and growing Lions.
Spleen, or as she is now generally called, Hypo, is a lady of most delicate nerves, and trembles at the very name of Lions. Like some old women, who are afraid that they may be shot, by a gun not loaded, Spleen, if assured that there was no Lion existing, but in the deserts of Africa—would be positive that the heard one growl in the streets.
I know a melancholy man, who turns pale if only a flock of harmless sheep bleat as they pass his door; his terrified fancy changes them into Lions. He inherits from healthy ancestors a robust constitution, eats roast beef with a relish and empties his daily decanter; but apprehensions of the gout and apoplexy constantly haunt him in the shape of Lions.
Many honest people, who are unreasonably averse to wild beasts, are afraid that the world they inhabit will not continue a week. About a hundred years ago, those who are "full of notions" declared that the globe would be burnt, by an incendiary comet: They even felt themselves scorched by its tail; and many a white handkerchief was foiled, by wiping sweat from anxious brows. But the globe still rolls merrily round, neither roasted nor broiled by a comet's fire; and we may laughingly declare that the comet gazers saw a Lion in the sky, as well as in the streets.
In the middle of July, tired of composing my sermons, I walked into the meadows, and searched anxiously for shade. I saw a labourer with a wooden bottle at his mouth, and but little hay made at his side; his uncle's icy the lung dangling from the branch of an elm.—He could not mow, for his arms were relaxed by rum, and he saw a Lion in the grass.
I am, or think myself an invalid, and have a whim of offering an instance, that I am a season of more favorable to composition than others. I had taken it into my head that this week was too cloudy to write with clearness, and meant, like some ordained Parsons, to pump an old sermon. But I felt shame busy, with her red pencil, at my cheek, and became persuaded that there was no Lion in the streets, which led to the office of my Printer. I applied gaily to my task; and endeavored to convince my readers that they may work in any season, without injury from the Lion.
THE LAY PREACHER.
From the New York Daily Advertiser.
To Citizen CALM OBSERVER.
GREETING, S I R,
I regret with a heartfelt sorrow, that I should have addressed myself to the Secretary of the Treasury, on the subject in which you and I are so deeply interested; before I addressed myself to you, Sir, on another, equally important, and which may justly be termed a relative one: But, Sir, a true spirit of patriotism, and a coincident desire of rendering ones self useful to the people, generally obliges rates every sneaking, puny attention to punctilios; and not unfrequently incites the mind with indignation and outrage. It is no less certain, that whenever the heart of a man puts on the night cap of liberty; reason thinks it high time to go to bed.—For instance, I once intended to do a public good, by complimenting a late statesman, with a thump on the head with a stone, but unfortunately the stone fell upon the pate of a newly imported Irish Patriot; and to the eternal disgrace of Murruck O'Manogan, the ballast ran yelping away. Another time—but I crave your pardon for these digressions, and now for more important matter.
The disquisitions you and I have entered into, respecting the illegal advances made to the President is a shining proof of the liberality of our motives, as well as the openness of our patriotism; but the manner in which he expends the twenty-five thousand dollars a year, is surely a subject of greater moment.
A committee of investigation into his household expenditures might save the public much. It is a fact well and respectably ascertained, that a servant of the President was seen to give two shillings a dozen for eggs, when they might have been purchased early in the morning for one and ten pence. The number of puddings made in that house is incredible.
I also learn from undoubted authority, that Mrs. Washington gives Gun-Powder tea, and plumb cake every Friday evening at her levee.
Bohea and Bread and Butter, might save the public much.
The President drives, his carriage and four horses—A sulky and a mule might save the Public much.
It has been whispered that the President drinks Champagne at dinner, Gracious heaven! Champagne—This can't be true, or he had surely been impeached.
But as to eggs, puddings, plumb cakes, and horseshoes; these are inconceivable facts;—high crimes and misdemeanors;—unconstitutional and illegal practices; and an embezzlement of the public money, for which he ought to lose his office, and his head.

CONTINUATION OF Latest Foreign Advices. By the Minerva, Capt. Clarkson, arrived at New- York, from London.
FRANKFORT, August 25.
To judge from appearances, nothing but warlike operations along the Rhine present themselves to view. While the French persevere in threatening the passage of the Rhine, an efficient opening of the campaign is determined on the part of Austria. Seven hundred tons of cannon balls, bombs, &c. have been sent by land to Belgrade. The Imperial army is in two divisions. Field Marshal Count de Clairfayt, will head the operations on the Lower Rhine, and station his head-quarters at Nussau, upon the Lahn.
General Wurmer's head-quarters will be at Freyburg, and he will from thence advance along the Upper Rhine, towards Alsace. The said General is now reviewing the Imperial troops assembled in Belgrade, and will proceed on his operations without loss of time; the head-quarters of general Naudot are still at Mulheim; but general Beaulieu, it is said, will have his head-quarters at Wetzlar, at which place an Imperial corps is actually assembling.
RENNES, August 17.
In a Paris paper of the 3d inst. devoted to the interest of the Convention, are the following observations:
"Let us remember, that by saying to the People—You are the Sovereign; we have taught them to treat all authority with contempt."
"That by saying to them—You are free; we have accustomed them to violate every law."
"That by saying to them—We are equal; we have led them to invade all property, and often to attack Proprietors themselves."
"Faction, intrigue and wickedness, pillage, oppression, murder, and desolation in the names of Sovereignty, Liberty and Equality."
"The same paper contains a long letter from a person of the name of Poupau, on the subject of the insurrection of La Vendee, which he represents as being so formidable as to threaten it not speedily suppressed, the very existence of the Republic. "If (says Poupau) the Royalists are suffered to proceed, I am of opinion, that sooner or later they will gain their end."
"The last accounts from Warsaw, respecting the ultimate division of Poland, remark, that the two Palatinates of Sandomir and Cracow are the principal objects of contention. It appears that by order of the King of Prussia, the Prince of Hohenbeck had marched with a large body of troops from the Naren towards those Palatinates; but that he was followed by a much greater force, under a Russian General; the result of these movements was anxiously expected. Five articles are attached to the late Manifesto, published by the Russian General Tutolmin, relative to the Political-Military Government of the new territory, similar to the regulations published in March, 1793."
Since the Constitutionalists have received some hopes, through the mediation of their Sibyl, the Baroness Stael, they shall be recalled into France, we see them commit several acts of civility in this country, which are no doubt intended, by little and little to reconcile them with the French Republic. At first they considered the Baroness as their bastard child; but now they seem rather disposed to legitimate their banlings. We are unable to form any other opinion on their sentiments, when we hear their forefathers against the King of Verona, as they affected to call Louis XVIII. and when we observe several of them having cropped their hair, that they may not offend the Convention by a Cadaveric (the hair turned up behind.) In other respects, as Jacobinism begins to regain ground in the Convention, their round hair will extremely well answer the dress of their ancient brethren.
The Charon store ship, of 44 guns, Captain William Locke, lately arrived at Portsmouth from Lord Bridport's fleet, is to return back as early as possible with further supplies. She will be accompanied by two ordinance transports, and other vessels.
Sunday an account was received in town, from Jersey, of there having been sent in there three large French merchantmen, laden with stores and provisions: they were captured by two privateers fitted out from that place, named the Hero and Victory, carrying 26 guns, twelve pounders each.
The French have lost one of the best ships of navy, the Montagne, of 120 guns, on the sharp rocks near l'Orient.
Extract from the Gazette of Petersburg. General Kotschubey, according to the French Papers, is dead of his wounds. It was his good fortune, they add, not to survive the misfortune of his country.
LEYDEN CAMP.
On Thursday, the 3d inst. the 32d regiment of light dragoons, encamped here, were drawn out and informed, that it was his majesty's pleasure that a draft should be made from their corps for foreign service. No sooner was their sovereign's will made known to these loyal Irish lads, than the whole regiment requested to be received as volunteers; but the officers who had been sent by government informed them, that his directions were to draft off only those of a given standard, and a limited number. This was no sooner announced, than the given number (about 100) advanced with the high-spirited spirits, were received as volunteers, and are now on their march for Reading, in Berkshire.
"All the accounts we receive from the departments (says a letter from Paris) announce that every where the Sunday has superseded the Decadi, Crosses resume their former places on the steeples, lights, and high roads; and the cock supplants the red cap on the church roofs. The inside of the churches is cleaned and repaired; the graves, opened and prophaned by the Vandals, are shut again. In villages, as well as towns, the Madison is chimed; and the sound of those bells, which have been spared by Vandalism, calls again the citizens to the performance of divine services; all join again at the feet of the altar! The non-
jurors clergy alone enjoy the confidence of the people; and the juring priests, weak or reduced under the constituent assembly, retroacted their errors, and wicked elements either concealed themselves in darkness, or carry about the most audacious impudence, which renders them still more odious. This sudden and general change with respect to religious opinions has produced a very striking alteration of political tenets; and this is the reason why, of late, the convention has pursued such rigorous measures against priests. This severity is not of that sanguinary kind, which revolts; but of that vexatious description which alarms: it is the persecution of the knave Julianus, which supercedes that of the atrocious Nero."
It is earnestly wished that the lovers of the French constitution, those who with great candor utterly give up to public odium the several governments which have appeared on the stage of Paris ever since the revolution, but who say that now all the evils are done away, and that liberty reigns there unsupported by terror, would coolly consider the present state of that metropolis, and of the approaching election, and compare it with that of any other city in Europe, which calls itself free.
TRENTON, Nov. 3.
On Tuesday last the legislature met at the State House in this city; and proceeded to business.
Elisha Lawrence is appointed Vice President of Council, and Ebenezer Elmer Speaker of the House of Assembly.
The legislature will go into joint-meeting this day, for the purpose of choosing a Governor and other officers.
Philadelphia,
THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1795.
A Gallery is now erecting in the Chamber of the Senate of the United States.
This morning between one and two o'clock, a fire broke out in Coombs' Alley, between Front and Second Streets, North side of the Alley—and was not got under till several wooden buildings and other property were destroyed.
As the purchasers of the surplus Tickets in the Canal Lottery were induced thereto for the public good of completing the Canals of this State, and have opened an office for the sale near the Bank of the United States, a correspondent cannot help observing the indecency of any person in assuming the name of the "Canal Lottery Office." The citizens, therefore, are informed, that no other office is authorised by the company than the one near the Bank of the United States and at the State-House, where tickets are warranted undrawn at 11 1/2 dollars each.

Last Evening, by the Rev. Dr. Smith, Mr. SAMUEL LONGCOPE, Printer, to the amiable Miss SARAH M C BRIDE.
PETITION,
Ci devant MAIRE of PARIS.
PETION, was a man of talents and was one of the principals, in the downfall of the monarchy of France. He was himself, without the appendages of Royalty, a King!—On the memorable day the 14th of July being the commemoration of emancipated slavery, he was attended in the Champ de Mars with a guard that far outvied that which surrounded the late unfortunate Louis—After having paid homage to the burning Tapers sacred to Liberty, shouts of acclamations were heard "Vive Petion," and at a distance "Vive le Roi," on their return they took different routes, but the cavalcade of Petion was much the more numerous.
Such is the fate of men temporarily great, Petion was outlawed—Secreted by a Barber, and finished his existence, by being his own executioner.

Extract of a letter dated Cayenne, September 25. [Translated from the Courrier de la France , published in this City.]
"Polony, the commandant of our squadron, sets sail to-morrow for France in the corvette P'Expedition ; he has on board, citizen Lane, formerly mayor of this place, transported, by order of the governor; citizen Couturier deputed by the plan-
ters to the Convention, and citizen Carie delegated by the governor and his party.
Our colony is threatened by a fast approaching famine; the negroes in general work to little, that those belonging to the plantations of the Republic, derive at this moment their only subsistence from a considerable quantity of flour of manioc, which very luckily has been found on board a Portuguese prize, and put in requisition.
Billaud de Varennes gives himself entirely up to the instruction of a party, & does not even improve the permission he has, to walk on the ramparts of the fort.
Colonel d'Herbois continuing the intimate friend of Cointet, enjoys his entire liberty, eats at the table of citizen Martin, member of the Colonial Assembly; visits the governor, receives visits from him, and often transacts business with him. He has succeeded in persuading him, that his recall to France was unavoidable;—meanwhile he gains partisans among the negroes and military officers. The red cap is in such veneration among this party, that the aids de camp of the governor would rather forget his coat, than this attribute of liberty, which had become the sign of terrorism under the bloody reign of Robespierre. Guyana seems consequently to have become the receptacle of Jacobinism.
To draw with a single stroke, the ferocious character of Cointet's delegate, it will be sufficient to repeat the motion which he once made on the subject of the Tree of Liberty. "It is my advice," said he, "to take an assoora [a tree of the palm kind, covered with prickles] because it cannot be touched without its drawing blood, and blood is necessary, it is absolutely required to conquer and preserve liberty."
Citizen Couturier is a truly honest man, and all his qualities justify perfectly the choice of the planters.
Citizen Lane is a victim of Collot d'Herbois's worthy friend.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, November 4.
The following important Decree was handed us by an obliging friend.
SECTION OF THE MARINE.
Liberty. Equality.
Extract from the register of decrees of the committee of public safety, from the National Convention, of the 26 Thermidor, 3d year of the French republic one and indivisible.
The committee of public safety, on the report of the commission of the marine and the colonies, derogating, as necessity may require, from the order of the decrees of the 24 Prairial, and 14 Messidor,
DECREE.
Foreigners purchasing either prize vessels or those built in France, or sold by the French before the date of the said decrees, by virtue of particular authority from the representatives of the people, are authorized to navigate them, in their name, on the following conditions:
These vessels can only be navigated from neutral ports; to those of the republic, immediately, and respectively, from those to neutral ports; and not to put into the port of an enemy's country, unless from forced causes duly verified.
They shall be bound to hoist the French flag as at the peace.
To warrant the performance of these conditions, they shall give as security French citizens well known for their abilities to pay; who shall bind themselves in double the value of each vessel.
The commission of the marine and colonies are charged to give the necessary orders for the due performance of the present decree.

BOSTON, Oct. 28.
By the arrival yesterday of a Schooner from Halifax, London papers are brought to Sept. 5—In which we find no very important event detailed. The Rhine, however, threatens to be a bloody scene. No mention of the emperor having certainly made a peace with France; it was still reported he had, and several events seemed to establish it.
The September packet has arrived at Halifax from England; the mail of which may hourly be expected here; as an armed brig having the mail on board left Halifax for this port with the above Schooner.
FROM MALAGA.
By Capt. Trask from Malaga, we learn, that information had been received there from Gibraltar, stating, that an insurrection had broke out in the dominions of the Emperor of Morocco, and that Muley Solyman, had been driven from his capital by his brother, commonly called the Black Prince. In consequence, it was expected, that the treaty lately renewed by Mr. Simpson, with Muley, would not be considered binding on his brother, should he prove victorious; and that our commerce would be liable, from the circumstance, to interruption: As confirmatory proof of the intelligence, several Venetian men of war, on a voyage to Morocco, with presents for the Emperor, hearing of the insurrection, had deferred entering his ports. It was also said, that several Moorish cruisers were at sea, and had carried in several Venetian and Swedish vessels. Capt. Trask saw a letter from Mr. Simpson, who mentioned the insurrection, but did not expect any serious ill consequences from it, as Muley Solyman was raising forces to proceed against his rebellious brother; and was of opinion would succeed in quelling the insurrection.
The day Capt. Trask sailed from Malaga, information was received, that an Algerine frigate of 36 guns, had been captured by a Venetian man of war, after a severe conflict.

Forty Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the subscriber, living at Mordington Mills, near Frederica, in Kent county, state of Delaware, on the night of the 27th of June last, a slave negro man named BENN, about 27 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, of a yellow complexion, and might pass for a mulatto. The clothes he had on cannot, with exactness, be described, as he made several breaches of honesty, in that way, on his setting out. He is a very great lover in his dress; has naturally a condemned and surly countenance, altho' he be at times affected a smiling one; his visage is thin, with large black whiskers; the whites of his eyes often red: It is not recollected whether he has any particular birth-marks, except on his back, where may be seen (tho' light) the scars of the whip, placed by judicial authority, for house-breaking, lock-breaking, theft, &c. as well before, as since I purchased him: He is possessed of but a small share of reason or sensibility; a great coward, tho' his looks are devilish, and at the same time sneaking. As he took his flight upwards from here, at the commencement of harvest, it is presumed he was persuaded by some of the free negroes in this quarter to make his escape with them—should he not be in Philadelphia, he is probably between here and there.
Whoever takes up the said negro Benn, and secures him in any public goal, so that his master may get him again, shall have the above reward; and if brought home additional charges for reasonable expenses, paid by James Douglass. Nov. 5. 32w3w.
Notice is hereby given that an attachment was issued out of the inferior court of Common Pleas in and for the county of Cumberland, in the state of New Jersey, returnable on the twenty-fifth day of February last, against the goods and chattels, rights and credits, lands and tenements of George Hutz (not being a resident at that time within the state of New Jersey) at the suit of Jonathan Ballinger, indorsee of Job Butcher, which was levied by the sheriff of the county of Cumberland on a certain floor or shallow called the Fly of Philadelphia with its appurtenances, as by the return of the said sheriff will more particularly appear—and notice is also hereby further given, agreeably to the direction of an act of the Legislature of the state of New Jersey in such case made and provided, that unless the said George Hutz shall appear and give special bail to answer the suit for as aforesaid instituted against him by the said Jonathan Ballinger, within such time as is prescribed by law, "that there and in default judgment shall be entered" against the said George Hutz by default, and that the said floor or shallow as aforesaid seized on the said attachment will be sold for the satisfaction of all "creditors who shall appear to be justly entitled to any demand thereon, and shall apply for that purpose."

SITUATE in the township of Upper Darby, and county of Delaware, 7 1/2 miles from Philadelphia, and half a mile from the new Western road: containing 230 acres of excellent Land, 45 of which are good scattered Meadows, 90 of prime Wood Land, and the rest Arable of the first quality. There are on the premises a good two-story Brick House, with 4 rooms on a floor, and Cellar under the whole, with a Pump Well of excellent Water in front; a large frame Barn, Stables, and other convenient buildings; a Smoker-House and Stone Spring House; two good Apple-Orchards, and one of Peaches. The Fields are all in Glover, except those immediately under village, and are so laid out as to have the advantage of Water in each of them, which renders it peculiarly convenient for Grazing. The situation is pleasant and healthy, and from the high cultivation of the Land, the good neighbourhood, and the vicinity to the city, it is very suitable for a Gentleman's Country Seat. The foregoing is part of the Estate of Jacob Haysman, deceased and offered for sale by MORDECAI LEWIS, Surviving Executor. Oct. 9, 1795.
A MILL for SALE.
FOR Sale, on private contract, five undivided sixths parts of that valuable merchant-mill, called Old Pennypack Mill, with two dwelling houses, stables, cooper's shop, cafe house, and other convenient buildings, with about 20 acres of good land, the greatest part thereof is excellent watered meadows, the remainder garden, orchard, and wood land; situate ten miles from Philadelphia, near the Washington Tavern, partly on the post-road leading to New-York, and partly on the River road; a remarkably healthy country, and an excellent neighbourhood. This mill being on Pennypack creek, a heavy stream of water, with about 15 feet head and fall, and the tide flowing about 6 feet, will admit a vessel carrying 1350 bushels of wheat to lay along side, and unload into the mill with Evans's elevator in about three hours. The mill house is large and built of stone, founded on a rock, the walls uncommonly thick and strong, (such a piece of mason work is rarely to be found) contains five floors, two water wheels, and three pair of the best French burr stones all running, double gated, with three boiling reels and cloths of the best quality, rolling screen, cylinder, and fans for cleaning wheat, is the best mangle, and paling it afterwards by an elevator into a hammer-garnet; also, conveyers, elevators, and hopper boy, all in complete order. There are two large frame buildings adjoining the mill, which are convenient for Receiving grain, floors, cakes, &c. A corn-kiln is erected within the building, with boiling, reel cloth, and other necessary fixtures for manufacturing large quantities of kiln-dried corn meal. The stream of water is so constant that upwards of 60,000 bushels of wheat have frequently been manufactured at this mill annually. The building itself was burnt of stone and frame about 30 years ago, but the last extraordinary repairs have made a breach therein, it can easily be repaired altogether with stone, the greatest part of which is already at hand, and the remainder can be quarried near the dam, as there are several good quarries of excellent stone on the premises, and adjacent to the creek; the contiguous of this very valuable estate to Philadelphia, and the easy navigation for flatboats, with the above-mentioned great advantages, and many others not here mentioned, must be obvious to any person who may view the premises. An indisputable title, clear of all encumbrances, will be made to the purchaser on paying part of the money, and giving satisfactory security for the remainder, payable with interest in instalments at such times as may be agreed on. For further particulars enquire on the premises of FRANCES LEWIS, Executrix to the estate of Robert Lewis, deceased; JOHN SWIFT, near Buffalo-Town; or NATAL NIEL LEWIS, or DAVID LEWIS, in Philadelphia.

Wilson, of the new Theatre, Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the first edition of this entertaining novel, in a few months is the best criterion of its merit.] EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, APRIL 1791, p. 468. It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity, of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconsistency of her lover and treachery of his friend. The situation are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic—we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, for one day, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poete juicio is not, we think, properly distributed. 1. The Inquisitor—by Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents. 2.

LOTTERY INTELLIGENCE.
We are informed that the gentleman who drew the 15,000 dollar prize, in the Canal Lottery, was the proprietor of only a single Ticket—This instance of good fortune, should that it is well to be in Fortune's road; and is the more pleasing, as the owner of the prize is a very worthy, though not a very affluent citizen.
The Scheme of the Canal Lottery is certainly one of the best which has appeared—for, independent of the useful objects to which its proceeds are to be applied, the scheme is so calculated as to continually enhance the value of the Tickets remaining in the wheel; because, while the drawing progresses, the chance of a capital prize growing greater, must increase the value of the undrawn Ticket.
The Prizes drawn to the close of the drawing on last Wednesday Evening, were
Table with 2 columns: Prize Amount, Number of Prizes. Includes 15,000, 2,000, 1,000, 500, 100, 12, etc.
And 1 stationary prizes of 20,000 dollars each; by which, and the nature of those 5 stationary prizes, which are to belong to the five last drawn tickets, it will be found, that an undrawn ticket was yesterday morning, worth nearly 11 1/2 dollars, which, at the beginning, was worth no more than 10 dollars—and to the undrawn tickets must continue to increase in value, as far as the drawing proceeds! And this circumstance will account for the number of Offices which are opened for the sale of Tickets, as the profits must be daily increasing; and in a few days a Ticket now selling at 11 dollars, will no doubt command 15 dollars, and must continue to get higher as the drawing approximates to the five stationary prizes of 20,000 dollars each.
AT a Meeting of the Stockholders in
the Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania, on the 25th May last, convened for the purpose of fixing the time of payment of the remaining part of the Capital Stock of said Company. Resolved, that the remaining sum of two hundred dollars per share, be paid on the 6th day of November next, under the penalties annexed to default by the act of Incorporation. Published by order of the Meeting, SAMUEL W. FISHER, Sescy. June 27. 1156
