These machines are made on a simple and improved plan for copying, writing, &c. of any size, in an expeditious manner, and are charged at a much less price than any other now in use. They are found to possess a superiority over any others, both by being more durable and not liable to get out of repair, and by copying any number of writings at one time, without making any alteration in the machine, and their occupying little room. The very general use into which these machines are now brought in use in London and other large trading cities, and the satisfaction testified by all who possess them, render it unnecessary to enlarge any further on their advantage, both in point of accuracy and facility and in the saving of time, labour and expense. november 1 tu&f tf

Extract of a Letter from Santander, (Spain) to a respectable house in this city dated October 8, 1800.
"I have this moment received a letter from Capt. Crocker, of the Rodoiph Frederick who is now in Paris, and who was captured by the fame privateer that took me, advising, "That my trial comes on the 23d of September, and if it cannot be put off the ship and cargo will surely be condemned. It seems that the Council of Prizes have acted far different in regard to justice from what has ever been represented to me before, as money appears to be the guiding principle they act upon. The armateurs have it in their power to offer a greater sum without running any risque; the captured, therefore stand no chance. I understand that our Envoys are to leave Paris by the 8th of October, and in all probability a treaty of some kind or other, will be made; those cases that are not yet judged, are in hopes of a better chance. The next post will tell me whether I am of that number. Enclosed you have a list of vessels, communicated by Capt. Crocker, that have been tried at Paris, from which you can form an idea how the Council of Prizes have acted:
 "Ship Pigou, Green, cleared with damages, Ann and Susan, Packet, compromised for half ship and cargo  Petapico, Hill do. do.  Peggy, Davidson, do. for 1000 guineas.  Ann, Lord, condemned  Kitty, Norton, cleared without damage.  Heber, Morgan, cleared with damage and interest.  Columbia, Corran, condemned, letter of marque.  Woodruff, Sims, Hogden, do. do.  Beeby, Gizure, condemned  Frederick, Clark, do.  Ruby, Reff do.  Statira, Steward, cleared without freight or damage, after being twice cleared with freight and damages, and being in France two years.  Polly, Tufts, cleared without damage.  Union, Lunt, cleared with damage and interest.  Republican, Simfon, condemned.  Portland, Stodcard, do.  Pearl, Latimer, cleared with damages.  Nancy, condemned to the Republic.  Molly, Bardoll condemned. 
"Some of the above ships have been condemned, when their cargoes were acknowledged to be American. The captors of the Ruby, Capt. Keef, has been heard to boast that she cost him but 500l. The greater part of the vessels cleared, were not worth more than from 6000 to 10,000 dollars, and none but what their cargoes and most of the ships have been sold, and after they are finally cleared, they must compromise with the captors for 30 or 40 per cent."
Capt. Young, arrived from Lisbon, in 21 days, acquaints us, That the Portuguese full entertain strong apprehensions of an invasion by the French through Spain.—A large Spanish army was upon the frontiers of Portugal, which was feared would co-operate; but the Spaniards have been lately laid under an obligation by their neighbours who have protected several Spanish vessels to Lisbon;—That the British expeditionary fleet under Sir J. Pulteney were at Gibraltar; and it was supposed would proceed to Portugal if that nation should require assistance;—That it was generally believed the French would hold possession of Egypt; and that Kleber had fallen a victim to his determination to evacuate that country, against the advice of the officer who has succeeded him;—That the British cruisers have lately sent several American vessels into Lisbon; and among them a brig belonging to Mr. Kimball of Boston.
Capt. Ellery, from Malaga, and who passed Cape St. Vincent; only 19 days before his arrival, informs that a large English fleet from Gibraltar passed up the Straights about the time he came out.
GEORGE-TOWN, Nov. 11.
Yesterday elections were held in this state for electors of president and vice president of the United States. At the close of the poll for this district the votes were for T. Duckett 152, J. F. Deakins 138.
At the Court-House it is said Col. Deakins had three fourths of the votes.
ing flames, here was a scene of grief and terror which defied every feeling heart. Mr. Jackson after several weeks illness died that afternoon about 3 o'clock.—In less than four hours after this affliction, this heart-rending scene, the family are alarmed with the cry of fire, the corps is hastily removed and the widow and children are hurried out of their house which no longer can be a home for them. Thus in one day are they deprived of a husband and father whose active industry, while living, afforded them a competent support, and a valuable house, which would have preserved them from want, is rendered of no value.
Such a loss, with such a bereavement, surely calls for public assistance and it is hoped, some influential and active citizens, will set on foot a subscription for their relief.—There can be no doubt of liberal contributions if the business is commenced immediately.
The remains of Mr. Jackson were interred on Sunday afternoon.—They were attended to the grave by a very long procession of citizens.
"A Novel, a Poem, a Drama, which represents Virtue in lively colours, models the reader on the various characters, who act without his perceiving it; they become interesting, and the author inculcates morality without seeming to mention it." LE MERCIER.

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER, 14.
THE SENATE OF PENNSYLVANIA
Have negatived the bill, from the House of Representatives, providing for the choice of Electors of a President and Vice-President of the United States, by a joint vote of the members of the two houses. Whereupon.
Mr. Gurney read, in his place, a new bill, and with the permission of the Senate, presented the same to the chair.—The Clerk having also read the bill, the Senate, on motion of Mr. Gurney, seconded by Mr. Johnston, resolved itself into a committee of the whole, for the purpose of taking the same into consideration;—after some time, the Chairman of the committee reported the bill to the Senate; and thereupon, the same was read a second time,—and, on the question—"Will the Senate agree to the first section?"—the yeas and nays were called for, and the question carried in the affirmative, in manner following, to wit:
   YEAS. NAYS.     1 Matthias Barton 1 Wm. Fidler   2 Ab'm. Carpenter 2 J. Hamilton   3 James Ewing 3 James Harris   4 Francis Gurney 4 John Kean   5 Thomas Johnston 5 Christ.

Rodman   11 Richard Smith 11 Benjamin Say   12 Dennis Whelen   13 John Woods.  
The bill was then ordered to be transcribed for a third reading, which it was to have yesterday, and is as follows, to wit:
An ACT to direct, on behalf of this State, the manner of appointing the Electors of a President and Vice-President of the United States.
WHEREAS it is declared by the Constitution of the United States, that for the purpose of electing a President and Vice-President of the United States, "Each State shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of Electors equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled to the Congress." To the intent, therefore, That the State may not be deprived of her vote in the choice of the Chief Magistrate of the Union, but without meaning that the provisions of this act shall hereafter be drawn into precedent.
Sec. 1. BE it therefore enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the Electors to elect, on behalf of the state of Pennsylvania, a President and Vice President of the United States, at the next ensuing Election for that purpose to be holden, shall, on the fifteenth day of November instant, be appointed by the Legislature of this Commonwealth, that is to say, Seven by the Senate and eight by the House of Representatives: Certificates of such appointment in each house, shall be made out and signed by the Speaker, and forthwith presented by the Clerk thereof to the Governor of the Commonwealth, who shall declare by proclamation, the names of the persons so appointed.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the Governor or shall cause a notification of their election to be delivered, in writing, to each and every of the Electors appointed as aforesaid, on or before the twenty second day of November instant, the expense whereof shall be defrayed and paid on a warrant, or warrants, drawn by him on the state Treasurer; and the said Electors shall assemble on the first Wednesday in December next, at the court house in the borough of Lancaster, and shall then and there perform the duties enjoined upon them by the constitution and laws of the United States.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That each of the said Electors shall receive three dollars, daily wages, when travelling to, remaining at, and returning from, the place of meeting aforesaid, the same to be paid by the Treasurer of the county in which the said Electors respectively reside; on

A warrant or warrants signed by the President of the meeting of the said Electors, if any they shall choose, or by a majority of such Electors exclusive of the person in whose favor the warrant is drawn, and sums paid as aforesaid by the treasurer of any county within this state shall be allowed to him, on behalf of said county, in the settlement of his accounts with the State Treasurer.
REMARKS.
The noble stand which the Federalists, in the Senate of Pennsylvania, have made, at this most critical juncture, exhibits a magnificent example of inflexible integrity.
Their conduct merits and deserves will receive the everlasting gratitude of their fellow-citizens, undismayed by the number of their opponents, despising threats and flattery and above corruption, in what an amiable point of view do they appear.
These thirteen are genuine
FEDERAL REPUBLICANS.
How happy must those feel who have reposed confidence in their patriotism. The present generation and posterity, will record their names, among the first of AMERICAN PATRIOTS—who does not envy them the glorious title, which they merit,—what real American is there who is not willing to hail them
SAVOURS OF THEIR COUNTRY.
They exhibit to their Sister States and to the World, an honourable example of Spartan Virtue.

Benjamin Ogle, Esquire, is re-elected governor of the State of Maryland, without opposition.
The British privateer Nelson, of Shelburne, Nova Scotia, is cruising on soundings, from the Delaware to Hudson, and has already taken several vessels and overhauled others.
Persons unacquainted with his Excellency, the Governor of Pennsylvania would, from the tenor of his address to the Legislature, readily infer that he was a man possessing the most amiable disposition, and in his politics the most mild; that his whole soul was devoted to the well-being of the commonwealth, and that he felt a patriotic desire to fulfil the obligation which his official duty imposed on him. But those who are acquainted with the political state of Pennsylvania, who have a knowledge of the views and object of the Governor, those who really know him, and have marked his moral and political progress view the address through a proper medium, and can see in it the most artful and villainous attempt to gain certain points, under cover of conciliation and ill-disguised moderation.
It is an undoubted fact that previous to the last election, language hopes were entertained by the Jacobins, that not only the Representative body of the Pennsylvania Legislature, but also the Senate, would undergo a change, and be composed of certain characters, whose enmity to the Federal Government, and ardent attachment to the monster Democracy and to French Principles, would endure by a Legislative vote, the whole weight of this State in favour of a President, whose predilection in favour of Gallic Principles, is now no longer contended against even by his partisans. Hence scarcely did a partial result of the election, wear a favourable aspect, than his Honor, anticipating the final issue, prematurely, issues his mandate for the Legislature to convene; surprised and mortified to find his calculation futile as it respected the Senate, he referred to the base and despicable means of flattery, half concealed in threats; and couches his address in terms of moderation and a wish for conciliation, fondly anticipating, by this means to accomplish a favourite scheme. Disguising and flitting the resentment which ranked in his breast at the prospect of a constitutional and firm opposition on the part of the Senate, he tells them that he thought it incumbent on him to furnish the present opportunity, for discharging a trust so interesting to the honor of the State, and so essential to the prosperity of the union.'—It is but reasonable to infer, nay we have proof almost positive, that if there had been a prospect of a change of sentiment in favour of Federal Republicanism, and that the two branches would probably have a majority of friends to our country, this thought of his Excellency's would not have occurred, or if it had it would not have prompted him to furnish the present opportunity for fulfilling his official obligations.
We are willing to give his Excellency full credit for his solicitude for the "prosperity of the Union," but must at the same time observe that the BLUE and RED Badge, to distinguish him from other commanders, or in plainer language, to shew his enmity to the Federal Government, gives the lie direct to his professions.
The Governor anxious for the honor of the state, as when he appointed a Traitor and a Thief to office, says "To rescue Pennsylvania therefore from the stigma of exhibiting to her sister states a fatal example of discord and disorganization; is a motive that cannot fail to supersede, in every particular mind, the pride of opinion, as to the theory of our government, or the bias of predilection, as to the various means of supplying its departments? This sentence deserves particular notice, the state has long been torn by faction, now rising on the ruins of every thing virtuous; vain will be the attempt now to rescue Pennsylvania from the stigma already affixed on her; two infractions against the General Government, have stamped an indelible mark of disgrace; had the "pride of opinion" and the infamy of action, been superseded by patriotism in the minds of his Excellency's partisans, Pennsylvania might yet have retained her respectability; but to her sister states and to the world she has exhibited the effects of Jacobinism, by a disgraceful example of discord, disorganization, rebellion and infamy."
MORE ANON.
It is the practice of all civilized nations to respect the rights of embassy, and to treat with decency the representatives of a foreign government. A departure from this practice is among the strongest evidences of an advance towards that savage state, which certain political philosophers profess to admire.
Of the various foreign ministers who have at different times resided in the United States, perhaps there is not one whose deportment has been so truly unexceptionable as that of Mr. Liston.
In a wise and correct policy, faithful to the interest of his own government, sufficient motives may be found for such a deportment; but whatever may be the motives, it certainly entitles him to a decent return and to reciprocal civility. To fail in this respect would be a reproach to our country.
Whence comes it then that certain papers are perpetually filled with low scurrility, and gross Billinggate abuse of this gentleman?
Is it that there is a party enraged at his not adopting a system favouring the views of those who would exasperate the two nations against each other, till a war should be inevitable or
Is it, that his having refused to bribe a certain democratic senator, (who having become a furious Frenchman, was willing to take money from any quarter for the virtuous and patriotic purpose of embroiling his native country and thwarting the pacific views of its government) can never be forgiven.

(CIRCULAR.)
To the Fire Company
THE heavy calamities, to which the ravages of fire have so often subjected the inhabitants of large towns and cities, have at least had the good effect of awakening their attention to the means best calculated for preventing their frequency and conning their extent. Perhaps none could have possessed more goodness of intention and have displayed more active exertion in these particulars than the citizens of Philadelphia.
Fire Companies were of a very early establishment amongst us, and their increase in number has kept pace with the increase of our city. But it has long been lamented by those who have had the best opportunity of judging on the subject, that though persons may generally be found at fires, sufficient in number and activity for its suppression, yet that great confusion is occasioned as well as much time lost and property destroyed, for want of a general concert and co-operation.
The well-meant efforts of individuals are frequently rendered useless, and sometimes pernicious, because their situation makes them incompetent judges of the direction which those efforts ought to take; and many, who would willingly render active service, did they perceive the mode in which they could be useful, stand idle, because there is no one to point out to them the situation in which they could advantageously employ themselves.
An evil of an equally serious nature arises from the notorious practices of those dishonest persons who too often attend these awful scenes, and, under the pretext of much zeal in the preservation of property, commit the most disgraceful depredations.
Have these evils a remedy? We believe they have; and that it is to be found in an institution, such as has been formed and organized by the Representatives of a number of Fire Companies, in the course of the present year.
The Philadelphia Fire-Association is composed of delegates annually chosen by the different Fire Companies established in the City and Liberties of Philadelphia. Twenty-three companies are already represented.
The members are divided into three classes; denominated Trustees, Regulators, and Directors. Each member is bound, instantly on the cry of fire, to repair to the place, and enter upon the business assigned to the members of his class; and that the members may without difficulty recognize each other, and their duties be known, each one is to wear on his hat, a white cover with the name of the class he belongs to, painted in large letters thereon; in addition to which, the members of the class of regulators, in the night time, carry each a small lantern.
The Trustees are to devote themselves particularly to the preservation of goods and furniture from loss by fire or plunder. The Regulators are to use their utmost endeavours to find out pumps adjacent to the fire, to form lanes to convey water to the engines.
The Directors are to point out to the engineers the most eligible stations for the engines to act with the greatest effect.
Besides the general meetings of the Association four times a year, each class hold separate meetings at least once in two months and has power to form rules for its own government, at meetings, and at fires; subject to the approbation of the general body to which they are also to suggest such measures as experience may from time to time be found to be expedient and useful.
For further particulars we refer you to the printed copy of our Constitution, which accompanies this address.
It is not the intention of this institution to fetter the exertions of the different Fire Companies, or to lessen the personal activity of the Citizens in General. Its object is to concentrate the combined energies of all the Companies, and to give a well directed effect to the exertions of every individual.
Our duties will unquestionably be arduous, but we hope for the ready support of every good Citizen in a work equally beneficial to all. In a particular manner it is desirable that all the Fire Companies should unite in the plan.
We therefore earnestly invite those Companies that have not yet thoroughly considered the subject to give it an early and candid consideration, and in the result we trust they will accord in sentiment with their fellow-citizens who have already adopted the measure and send forward delegates to the Association next year.
We have no other motive in making this request than the advancement of the common object of all the Fire Companies. We have no distinct interest to promote—no purpose to serve, but that in which all our fellow citizens are equally interested with ourselves, and while we make you these assurances, we wish you to consider them as pledges for your joining us, in giving this long-wished-for undertaking a fair experiment. The expence cannot deter you. It amounts to an assessment of but two dollars annually on each Company; which, with the fund arising from fines, for absence on the Members of the Association, we believe, will be more than adequate to the discharge of all necessary expenses.
To those Companies that are Associated, little need be said; as the Association has promptly received their support in its first establishment, so, the harmony of its past proceedings, and the prospect of success, which now unfolds itself, will be incentives to perseverance. We have, therefore, only to remind them that the period of service of
their present delegates expires on the first Friday in January next. Their Delegates to the next Association should, therefore, be elected previous to, and attend punctually with their credentials on that day.
Signed by Order and on behalf of the Association, PETER BROWNE, President. Attest, JAMES MILNOR, Secretary. November 7, 1800.

At a late review of the Militia in New Hampshire, toasts were given, and the troops fired by companies at each toast, the 6th toast was "The Vice President of the United States." The troops refused to fire—the toast was then altered to "the Governor of New Hampshire," upon which they fired with great cheerfulness.

Arrived at Damariscotta, on Friday, the 24th of October, the Sloop Hunter, from Antigua. On her passage home, in the night, voices were heard coming out for assistance. The Sloop immediately rounded to, and took off 13 men, who were clinging to pieces of a wreck floating spars. It seems the unfortunate persons had belonged to a British privateer that had been upset in a gale of wind. One hundred and twenty persons were on board, the privateer, four of whom were ladies; the latter were among the lost.
[We mentioned in our last the loss of the Earl of Dublin and Sir William Parker, privateers of Halifax. We presume, however, that neither of those vessels had 120 persons on board. The omission to mention the latitude and longitude, will afford the conjectures on the subject.]

Also arrived here, the Schooner Sylvia, captain Daggett, in 11 days from Philadelphia—on the 27th of October, about 20 miles East of Cape May, captain Daggett had three shot fired at him and was brought to, by a British privateer brig, full of men, and pierced for 19 guns. The privateer's boat, with a man, came alongside the Sylvia, and captain Daggett had to produce all his papers which were closely examined, after which he was suffered to proceed, but not until they had made strict enquiry if any ships sailed from Philadelphia with him, and what ships were ready for sea. The Officer of the privateer said, her name was the Nonsuch, but the sailors in the boat called her the Nancy, they acknowledged they were cruising for American vessels, but would not tell where they were from. Capt. D. thinks neither of the names told him, were her proper name. She was a long low copper bottomed brig, black fies and dirty, had no fore top gallant mast, up. She had the appearance of a vessel in distress.
The same privateer captured the Austria capt, Lawrence, off Sandy Hook, and ordered her for the Helder; also captured the Sally capt. Nichols, and a brig from Marblehead, laden with fish, bound to Bilboa.
