The generous patronage which the publication has already received, demands the Editor's most grateful acknowledgments—He solicits a continuation of advertising favors.

Distant Subscribers For this Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay up their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their Subscription by paying Six Months in Advance, as declining to take the Paper any longer. As there is a considerable Sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delinquent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may respectively be indebted—the sums are individually trifling—the want of the Aggregate is severely felt.

THE CORDWAINER—No. X.
We have paid one compliment to French economy; it is to be wished that equal commendation were due to their whole system of politics. But revolutions are but in their pupilage. Mr. Paine and I shall yet set matters to rights.
It is the part of wisdom to profit by experience.—Ye little think, heedless mortals! what wrestlings of mind, watchful days, and sleepless nights, we authors and political instructors endure for your sakes. I have long anticipated a revolution on the other side of the Channel, and many a choice plan have I in store for it, if Englishmen will be advised by me.—The following are among the notes in my common place book.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.—Let it be better regulated than the French— Appropos. Frequent election of President, that all may have a chance.—Let each member have a separate box; number the boxes, and locate the members. The floor of each box to consist of a trap door, from the spring of which, a concealed cord to communicate with the President's box, at the end thereof a handle, marked with a number correspondent with that of the box. These handles to be disposed within reach of the President, that, on occasion, by pulling a cord, an obnoxious member may be dropped into a vault below, as the last resort of discipline, to be dealt with there. This however, never to be adopted till the milder forms of discipline have failed.
GALLERY.—Totally wrong in France—Miserable economy indeed!—What an amazing expence must it be to hire such a throng, perhaps at high wages, merely to hiss at, and interrupt, or to clap and applaud, a party; when a hundredth part of the expence, with a little mechanical invention, would answer the same purpose! For instance: a pair of organ-bellows may be placed to communicate with, and charge with wind, a number of light casks, properly disposed. Any child may play the bellows. A talisman at the foot of the President may command a valve in each of these, which pressed, shall open a vent, and shall produce a complete hissing. A cat-call may be placed in each cask, to heighten the effect. If these be insufficient to drown a speaker, or a party, the boy at the bellows may, at a signal from the President, play a horse-fiddle. This last, however, should be reserved for applause, (being an excellent imitation of clapping) except on particular emergencies; and to distinguish the applauding horse-fiddle from the condemning horse-fiddle, let the former be accompanied by some imitative sounds, produced by the President, by the touch of a few keys before him, opening trumpet pipes, which may be made to pronounce tolerably such words as—“bravo!”—“liberty!”—“equality!”
Jacobin Club.—By all means.—Let it sit directly over the heads of the Convention. There must be a tube or conductor, through which papers may be passed from the Jacobin Hall above, to the President's table below. The President of the Convention must likewise sit over a trapdoor, the spring of which must be at the command of the President of the Club, to enforce obedience to their decrees. If on the receipt of a decree of the Club, requiring him to applaud, or to condemn a speaker, or to drop a member into the vault, the President of the Convention shall disobey, the President of the Club but pulls his cord, and lodges him in the vault. The key of this vault to be kept by the President of the Club. By this arrangement not only the expence, but the delay, uncertainty and danger of an armed force, will be completely avoided. This brings me to
La Guillotine, that paring-knife—that finishing touch, in revolutionary economy.—Indispensable. With regard to the application of it, I would have some plain, uniform criterion. For instance: As every thing depends upon dispatch and discrimination, let a shell be found, or an helmet made, which shall exactly fit the head of Citizen Robespierre, Mr. Paine, the Author of the Jockey-club, or some other known and tried Democrat, and let all suspected heads be proved by this. Depend upon it, the square head of an Aristocrat will no more fit the smooth, arched concave, than my flat foot shall a Chinese lady's slipper.
As to those Royal Heads, as a different process may be advisable with them, I have been somewhat puzzled to hit on a satisfactory one. The result of my researches is briefly thus:—Since any process of inquiry, a priori , would be
attended with a variety of obstacles, difficulties and delays, all or most of which may be avoided by a process a posteriori , it is but to pass them thro' the Mill first, and they shall be as passive and as pliant as a cheese-cake.—Question them, accuse them, revile them—no pert reply; no saucy denial or evasion, no exculpation. You have only to label them with the words “Tyrant” and “Traitor,” spike them up in the market place, let the author of the Jockey-Club, in addition to his former labours, write their “Memoirs,” and, believe me, in spite of their inviolability, they shall rot and stink like the head of a beggar.

At a meeting of the Democratic Society in the county of Addison, held at Middlebury Falls, October 2d. 1794, the following resolution was passed, viz.
Resolved
That this society highly approve of that virtuous and republican part, which the senators and members of the house of representatives in congress, from this state have taken in the debates and questions in congress on important national propositions, since the accession of this state to the Union.
The satisfaction of this society, in noticing their public conduct, is proportioned to that activity in business, and uniformity of action which they have manifested and to that sacrifice of private convenience which they may in some instances have made by tarrying the session entire, and beg them to accept the thanks of this society accordingly.
Thomas Tolman, clerk.
The following circular letter, inclosing the above resolution to each member, has been sent.
(CIRCULAR.)
Middlebury, October 3d, 1794.
Sir,
THE citizens composing the democratic society in the county of Addison, having observed the public conduct of the Representatives of this state, in the Congress of the United States, approve of the virtuous and republican part which they have taken, on interesting national questions; and as a testimony thereof, have passed a resolution, a copy of which we have the honor and pleasure to enclose you. We trust that this will appear an evidence, that while the citizens composing this society cannot conceal their concern for certain acts and establishments of Congress, which you have judged it your duty to disapprove, they are not disposed to indiscriminate censures, or to throw any weight into the scale of public licentiousness.
We have the honor to be,
Sir, your most obedient, humble Servants, and fellow-citizens.
Joel Linsley, } Corresponding Thom. Tolman, } Committee. Jon. Willard. }
To which the hon. Mr. Smith, has given the following answer:
The members of the Democratic Society in the county of Addison.
Gentlemen,
A resolution of your society of the 2d of October, and this day presented me by one of the members, expressing your approbation of the conduct of the senators and representatives from this state, in the congress of the United States, (among whom I am included) has been productive of very agreeable emotions on my part. Next to an honest regard for the rights and interests of my constituents, and for this state in connection with the rights and interests of other people and states within the union, has been my wish to maintain their good opinion. Your resolution is a respectable testimony, for my satisfaction on this latter point. Permit me gentlemen, while I am flattering myself from this expression of your approbation, to encase pleasurable emotion, by indulging a hope and expectation, that the meetings and deliberations of your societies may not only not prove subversive, or hurtful to public order & good government, but the real promoters of them.
I am gentlemen,
With sentiments of respect and esteem, yours,
ISRAEL SMITH.

UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, November 1st.
It appears that Sluys has surrendered to the French, which will enable them to reinforce the armies which are to act against Breda and Maestricht.
The Electress Palatine of Bavaria died on the 13th of July last.
The French continue to harrafs the trade of England, every paper announces new captures. The Tuftan of Hull lately sent into Brest was valued, the ship at 40,000 and the cargo at 60,000 sterling. The French cruizers now scour the north seas and send their prizes into Norway.
The Yellow Fever is entirely extinct at New-Haven.
The very friendly reception of Mr. Monroe by the French Convention must give pleasure to the Americans; as it indicates a disposition on their part to live in peace, with the United States, without involving them in the present war. It is much for the interest of this country to be on good terms with all the powers of Europe; and at this epoch, it is peculiarly fortunate for us to have a friendly intercourse with a nation which is unquestionably rising to be the most powerful of any in Europe. Altho we cannot agree with Mr. Monroe, when he says the government of France and of the United States have a near resemblance, and are founded on the same principles; as the present government of France is, perhaps necessarily, the most despotic, capricious, and changeable now known, and not like any other government on earth; yet it is the aim and determination of the French to establish a free Republic; and their principles, tho' not settled, have this for their object. The French have yet many crude notions about a republican government; they have much to learn, and they may, if not too wise already, learn much from our experience, and the model of our government.
But it is expectable, that many of their wild theories will lead them into errors, which stubborn experience alone can correct. They will wait for that experience; in the mean time the fame of our views and wishes must serve to unite and cement our National connexion.
The American character is rising in the esteem of Europeans; and notwithstanding the attempts of our violent men, to make us turn bullies, the moderation, firmness and justice of our proceedings will ultimately secure to us due estimation and rank among the nations of the earth.
Foreign papers mention that two deputies from the Netherlands to the Emperor had been refused an audience: as the Emperor does not recognize the
Netherlands, on account of the pusillanimity of the inhabitants.
Continual skirmishing takes place between the armies on the Rhine, but no signal action is announced in the last European papers.
The King of Great Britain assigns, for the repeal of the first article of instructions of June 1793, the following most satisfactory reason—“We not judging it expedient to continue for the present the purchase of said cargoes in behalf of our government, are pleased to revoke” &c. Nothing appears so insipid as folly in the executive of a great nation!

MR. FENNO, A constant attendant of the Theatre will be obliged to you to convey thro' the channel of your paper a just tribute to the merits of Mrs. MARIOTT, who so fully succeeded to the ultimate wish of her auditors in the character of the Female Prisoner on Monday evening—every time we are favored with her appearance on the boards, she improves on the spectators; and her acting, true to nature, develops the best ideas of the author. That valuable member of the Theatre, Mr. PRIGMORE, was as usual excellent; and Mr. Hodgkinson, the character Mrs. Inchbald wished to have portrayed.
At a meeting of the inhabitants of the township of Tioga, held on the 3d day of October, 1794, took into consideration the Cause of the Disturbances in the four western Counties of this State, with the measures pursuing by the General and State Governments, against them.

Voted, that the powers exercised by the legislature of the general government, laying an excise is strictly constitutional—that it is the duty of every Citizen of the United States to support and maintain the laws of the United States—and that the Executive of the General and State Governments are justifiable in calling out the Militia to enforce a due obedience to the Laws.
Voted, that if there are existing faults in our Constitution or Laws, or abuses
in the administration thereof, it is more easy and expedient to correct such faults or such abuses by constitutional means than to appeal to arms and cause a revolution in government.
Voted, That this meeting highly disapprove of the present opposition to the constitutional laws of the United States in some of the western counties of this state.
Voted, That we stand ready (if it be required) to turn out personally with our fellow-citizens of this state, and of the United States, to support that free government under which we live.
Voted, That the foregoing votes be published for the information of our fellow-citizens.

NEW-YORK, November 3.
We learn by Capt. Duff, who arrived last night from Teneriffe, that the French have taken Bilboa, and with it upwards of 50 vessels in the harbor.—After the city was taken they kept the Spanish colors flying, which decoyed in a number of vessels. The French have also taken Logone and St. Marks, and had put the garrison to the sword. Diary.
Revolution in France.
It is a remark of Mr. Neckar, on Executive Power, that it has been the policy of the violent factions in France to involve the whole question of the Revolution in two terms, liberty and equality . The Mass of people in a country like France cannot discuss all the nice questions of right; their leaders artfully endeavour to save them the trouble of reflection, by making the whole controversy turn upon a few names. Thus liberty and equality are the objects sought by the revolutionists; the people, even the most ignorant, are sincere in their views; they honestly mean to seek and preserve liberty and equality . All this is true; but the misfortune is, not one person in a hundred understands or can define these words, or knows precisely what he is seeking. Still less do the people understand the means, by which these objects are to be obtained and preserved.
The people wish for liberty; but if they think any man unfriendly to their liberty, they will rise and tear him to pieces, without trial, proof or ceremony. Now in reality, where the people have the power of doing this, there is no liberty. The people who can do this are themselves, each and every man of them, slaves to this very power.
For if any one man may be singled out as an object of vengeance, and put to death by the arbitrary will of a mob, every man in that very mob is daily and hourly liable to death in the same manner. Of course every individual is a slave to this ungovernable force; and no man can be secure of his life, or his property for one moment.
This has been the state of Paris a great part of the time, since the year 1789; and indeed of all France. In seeking liberty and equality , the people have run into despotism which has assumed a connection, system and establishment form, that is not equalled in any despotic government of the eastern world.
The violent members of the Convention formed a club, or society. This club to triumph over opposition, resorted to the people of Paris; that is, to any multitude of men they could readily collect; this multitude or mob soon became well disciplined to their business; and a nod from Marat, or Robespierre would at any moment produce a massacre. This club formed other clubs in all the large towns in France, who were connected with the mother club, and have been the instruments to aid the bloody work of the revolutionary government.
By this chain of popular societies, moved by the club in Paris, a small number of men, probably not a tenth part of the citizens of France, have governed the whole Republic for two years past, with the most absolute sway. I do not mean that a majority of the citizens are unfriendly to the Revolution; but that the actual exercise of all the powers of government has been in the hands of a few men. And it is an important fact, that what frequently takes place, that an active minority, scattered, but acting in concert, will often carry points against a large majority, who are not thus united and acting in unison. When the society of the Fuillans, the foes of the Jacobins, and the most steady, intelligent, and respectable Republicans in the convention, were dispersed by the populace, armed and instigated by the Jacobins for that very purpose, all hopes of a rallying point for the moderates were given up; the opposers of

the Jacobins were never united; and France, from that moment, to the present, has been a prey to a tyrannical few . The nation is not represented. A great majority of the members of the convention are executed or have fled; and the house is reduced from upwards of 700 members to less than 300.
While the people therefore are pursuing liberty and equality, one part of them are destroying all liberty and equality by usurping power, and entrusted to them, and exposing the property to perpetual insecurity.
The proceedings of the National Convention of France are a continued comment on the truth of Mr. Adams's doctrine of checks and balances in government, or a division of the legislative into distinct branches, independent of each other for their existence, and each with a negative upon the other. The French abolished monarchy, before they had any form of government prepared as a substitute; and so jealous are they of an Executive in a single person, that they organize committee after committee and try to get along with this hydra of many heads. Every few weeks they find treason, and cut off the heads of their Executive committee. But instead of doing good, the evil is worse; for half a dozen of committees spring up in the room of one. Since Robespierre's death, they are about organizing 16 committees in the Executive department. And do they expect the machine of government will move with all these clogging wheels?
This bungling work of the Convention puts one in mind of the artist who had made a very expensive showy clock that would not go. The owner complained to the artist, he had not made him a good clock! But look, see the machinery; what nice workmanship! yes, says the owner, but it does not go. What, how, not go! But examine it, look at the wheels, the pendulum! Was ever such elegant work! Yes, yes, says the owner, I see all that; but after all it does not go.
So the Convention make elegant harangues on their Republic; but the machine does not go; it does not produce the intended effects; peace, order, law, security of person and property, patriotism and virtue. On the other hand the Convention are quarrelling and shedding each other's blood, and perpetually trying new expedients; after all the clock does not go. We have abolished tyranny, say the French, true they have abolished the old tyranny; but they have set up a new tyranny springing up. We cut off the heads of these tyrants, as fast as they arise, say the patriots. True, but of what avail is that, unless you can prevent the renewal of the evil by crushing it at once. We have a Republic, one and indivisible, say the French. True, but it does not go!
Well, what is the matter? Why, the clock will never go: till all interference of wheels is done away. One old Statesman who knows mankind, is worth a thousand Robespierres, Barreres and Dantons. The clock does not go; it cannot go, till the Convention learn wisdom from experience.
These remarks are not made to cast reproach on the Revolution, which the writer glorifies in, as much as any man; but to censure the men who manage that revolution.
From the New-York Diary. "The Devil has got him at last" Mellis. Printers.
Before Tom Paine's "Age of reason," made its appearance, a voice was heard in Corlandt street and Broadway, crying, God in unity, religion without mystery, and universal salvation to all mankind!
The mighty Trumpeter that founded these glad tidings, perhaps has since recollected that the voice cried in the wilderness. "Repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand"; but perhaps he has mistaken Tom Paine for the Saviour, and is now meditating upon his revelation—Some people however, are in dreadful apprehension, as the said trumpeter is a shoe maker by profession, that, "The devil has got him at last!"
JEHOSHAPHAT.
From the Boston Chronicle.
Messrs. Adams & Larkin, HAVING for more than half a century made attentive observations on the ways of men and the concerns of life, I wish to communicate what may be beneficial to my country.
TO FARMERS.
Firstly, Preserve your WOOD, as it grows scarce even in new towns; if more attention is not paid to this important concern for time to come, in fifty years great part of the people will suffer extremely for want of fuel. I am alarmed for posterity, when I consider
how the wood has been lessened in the last forty years. It is high time to plant trees on every part of the lands not otherwise improved—the pastures and mowing lands in general would be the better for many more trees; rows should be planted by all the fences, &c. Remember time travels fast, and trees grow slow; therefore ye landholders up and be doing.
Secondly, To increase your crops, remember often plowing is the same as manure. Increase the growth of POTATOES—they have enriched our country—they supply the place of bread, they feed cattle, sheep, hogs, horses and poultry, when boiled. They are a source of wealth to the farmer.
Thirdly, Attend to your APPLE-TREES. For many years past I seldom see a young nursery of apple-trees; and the old orchards are fast decaying. Attend more to orchards; they will grow in old lands, if well plowed, and due care taken of the trees; in this way old orchards may be renewed.
Fourthly, Keep more SHEEP on your dry lands, no creatures are so profitable. Every farmer if possible should raise wool and flax sufficient to clothe his family; he that buys the produce of other countries, will have an empty purse.
TO TRADERS.
See that you do not trade too much, by which means many are embarrassed and many ruined. Regard truth, honor, and punctuality, infinitely more than gain—those will gain.
TO ALL PEOPLE.
Firstly, Those who wish to live happily and in safety, must live within their income.
Secondly in religion, depart not too hastily from the good old way of your fathers, unless you are well assured a change of sentiment and practice will make you more virtuous and better. The heart and life are most to be regarded. When you are told by free thinkers , falsely so called, that the BIBLE is no further to be regarded than its precepts accord with your ideas of propriety, and all men will in the life to come be equally happy; pause and consider whether bad men do not suffer in this world for their folly and vices; and you can have no assurance that the same vices will not produce misery in the next. Observation will convince you that those called free thinkers or deists, are not men of deep thought or serious reflection, but are generally giddy light minds who think little of eternal concerns.
Thirdly, In politics, as in religion, think and consider well before you act; the bold pretenders to patriotism are often as hollow hearted as the free thinkers in religion, and as dangerous to follow.
Do not hastily distrust old friends and faithful rulers, under whose guidance our country has prospered. It is dangerous to make experiments while we are prosperous. Faults in government there always was, and will be, but before we change our rulers, let us consider well whether we shall not risk more by a change than we are likely to gain; especially at this time when the world is so dreadfully convulsed, and too many are in our country embracing wild notions in religion and government. Every thing considered, our government is more free, and the people more happy, than any other in the known world. Therefore let us be thankful to GOD, be sober and very deliberate in all our conduct, as it is much easier to destroy than to build up a good government. Europe presents an awful lesson to America, to be cool, steady, virtuous and wise, and to preserve our excellent Constitution; to continue, if possible at peace among ourselves and with the world.
Great GOD! pour down a spirit of wisdom and true religion upon the American people, and make them the patrons of every virtue, and a praise in the whole earth! Amen.
A COUNTRYMAN.

GOSHEN, October 28.
At a meeting of the Republican Society in Ulster county, held at the house of John Carr, on the 17th inst. the following resolutions were passed:
Resolved as the sense of this society, 1st, That resistance by force to the execution of laws legally enacted, by a majority of the representatives of the people, is highly criminal, subversive of the sovereignty of the people, and dangerous to the existence of a free government.
2d. Therefore resolved, that this society highly disapprove of the conduct of the inhabitants of the western counties of Pennsylvania, in opposing by force and violence the execution of the excise law of the United States.
3d. Resolved, that this society approve of the conduct of the President of the United States and the Governor of Pennsylvania, for their laudable endeavours to induce the insurgents to submission, previous to an appeal to arms.
4th. Resolved, that whenever a law is so odious and unpopular that it cannot be executed by the ordinary authority of government, it is wise and politic to repeal it: there being nothing more
pregnant with evil consequences to a free government, than being reduced to the necessity of arming one body of its citizens against another, to enforce the acts of the legislature.
5th. Resolved, that the insinuations held forth in some of the ministerial prints, that republican societies are the instrumental cause of the present insurrection, are false, groundless, insidious and ungenerous aspersions; as a settled and rooted aversion and opposition to the excise law has been manifested by the present insurgents, long before the establishment of those societies—and it was proper in this society to reanimate, they might with more justice and equal confidence assert, that the secretary of the treasury, who proposed the excise system, and the Congress who adopted and refused to repeal it, notwithstanding the repeated remonstrances, and manifestations of the most confirmed aversions of these people, are the leading causes of the transaction.
TOASTS.
1st. The President of the United States, and the Democratic Societies throughout the world.
2d. May the armies of tyrants, when opposed to freedom, ever experience the fate of Burgoyne.
3d. The United States, may they be as happy and respectable in peace as they were victorious in war.
4th. The French Republic, may they give its own terms to the tyrants leagued against liberty.
5th. Major General Gates, and those brave officers and soldiers who captured Burgoyne and his army.
6th. Citizen Fauchet.
7th. Liberty, may it pervade the universe.
8th. The laws, may their wisdom & equality command respect.
9th. Religion and morality, pure and unaltered; may they flourish on the ruins of superstition and ecclesiastical fraud.
10th. Education and science, the best preservatives of public liberty; may they be cultivated with an ardour equal to their importance.
11th. May the enemies of equal rights in this land of liberty, and throughout the world, labour under the guillotine of a self-tormenting conscience till they see their errors and reform.
12th. May the late defeat of the Indians and their white allies, the British, by Gen. Wayne's army, be a prelude to nobler achievements.
13th. The swinish multitude—may they root out the seeds of tyranny in every clime.
14th. Victory and success to the brave citizens of Poland, who are struggling for freedom under the auspices of Kosciuszko.
15th. May the Insurgents of Pennsylvania resign their arms to the legal and constitutional modes of redress, and harmony be speedily restored, without the effusion of human blood.
RUTLAND, (Ver.) Oct. 21.
Col. John A. Graham, of Rutland, according to his appointment, from this state (by the Protestant Episcopal Convention) as Agent to England, to negotiate the affairs of the Church, &c. &c. will leave this place in twenty days, for New-York, where he expects to embark for London.
We have the pleasure here to present to the public, a specimen of printing paper, manufactured from the bark of the balswood tree, together with an equal proportion of common coarse rags: This is a new discovery, made by Col. Lyon, of Fairhaven, and promises fairly to accelerate the paper making business in this country, as the cost of the bark, which abounds in great plenty, is not more than one third as much as the cost of rags.
This paper, for the want of journeyman paper makers in his mill, was made by the hands of the Editor, who does not profess a knowledge in the business; besides this, the bark of which it was made, was not properly cured, and fitted for the business, and the paper has never been sized, but with alum and water; notwithstanding all those disadvantages, it makes a tolerable printing paper. We are very confident that this bark, when it is rightly cured, and properly manufactured, without the assistance of rags, will make paper, of a quality suitable for common books, paper hangings, &c.
If this discovery should prove advantageous to mankind, we shall be glad to bid the world—welcome to it, without the selfish reserve of an exclusive privilege or patent right.
[The Rutland paper, made of the Balswood tree, may be seen at Webster and Steel's Book-store, Albany.]

From the General Advertiser.
Tho' Mr. Wm. Smith (S. C.) had
at the late election a plurality of votes
in the City of Charleston for member
of Congress, there is much reason to
doubt whether he will be the success-
ful candidate, when the return is re-
ceived from the remainder of the dis-
trict, to which British influence does
not extend.
Return of the votes for the district of
Charleston, for a Member of the House
of Representatives of the United States.

William Smith—654
John Rutledge—457
T. T. Tucker—131
588
From the above it appears that Mr.
Smith (S. C.) not only has a majority
of the votes of the whole district of
Charleston, but that he has a much
greater majority in the country than in
the City of Charleston.
Thus we see that tho' the despicable
tools of faction may abuse the public by
their false anticipations—and the Dema-
gogues of the moment may inflame the mas-
sest of the people and outrage the sacred
rights of election by traducing those who
repeatedly receive their suffrages, as per-
sons under a foreign, a British interest—
Yet we find that the good sense, the calm
intelligence, and an inflexible attention to
their true interests on the part of the citi-
zens of South Carolina, rise superior to all
the arts and machinations of the enemies
of peace and our happy constitution—and
Mr. Smith the real patriot and friend of
his country is re-elected—alth

Forty dollars reward. RAN AWAY from the Subscriber on Saturday night the 11th inst. A Mulatto LAD, named Bill, generally called Bill Madden, about 17 or 18 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, of a slim make, has frizz black hair, which he sometimes wears tied, but generally loose; he has been accustomed to wait altogether in a house, and having been much indulged, has become too idle to work for a support. He took with him a brown fustian double breasted long coat, one drab cloth coat, with red cuffs and cape, the pocket flaps and skirts trimmed with red edge, a fustian waistcoat a pair of buckskin breeches, a pair of red striped trowsers, and several other cloaths, also a pair of boots, half-worn. It is probable he has a forged pass, and will endeavour to pass as a free man. From every circumstance, I am led to believe he went off with a white woman, and that they had taken their passage in a vessel bound to Philadelphia. The above reward will be paid to any person delivering him the said servant, and reasonable charges for bringing him home. Daniel Carroll. Of Duddington. City of Washington, Oct. 20. gtsaw2w

To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead thereof, of invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, that being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
