To be Sold, A VALUABLE  Tract of Land, BEING that part of the city of New Brunswick that lies in the county of Somerset and state of New Jersey. It contains upwards of 600 acres of very valuable land and is bounded on the north by the public road that leads from New York to Philadelphia for near two miles, on the east by the river Raritan for near a mile, and on the west by a line drawn from the town of New Brunswick to the river Raritan, forming a triangular form. Building Lots on several streets in this part of the town (e.g. from five to ten dollars and two thirds a foot front, and the extension of Albany Street, which the situation admits of for at least half a mile, will open a new source for very pleasant & commodious situations for dwelling houses. A considerable space along the river is well calculated for building store-houses and wharves, and affords a rent for a Grift Mill on the bank of the river, which may be supplied with water from the Mile-Run by a subterraneous passage already dug, where vessels of 300 barrels burthen may conveniently load and unload. There are now on the premises a good Farm House and two large barns, a commodious new Dwelling House two stories high, 42 by 32 feet square, intended and well calculated for a store, with very good cellars under the whole, and a kitchen 33 by 20 feet square, a new wharf of 80 feet front, and a well built store house of 40 by 26 feet square and three stories high, and a quarry of building stone on the premises. New Brunswick, one of the most flourishing places in New Jersey, lying at the head of the navigation of the river Raritan, is the magazine for the reception of the produce of a very extensive and fertile country, and is well situated for vending every kind of imported merchandise for supplying the country. The easy transportation of every kind of produce and manufacture from thence to New York by water, its situation on the post road through the states, and its vicinity to Perth Amboy, one of the best seaports in the states, render it an object worthy the attention of persons who have the means and know how to improve a situation so well calculated for commerce or manufacture. The premises will be shown by John Parker or James Cole, at New Brunswick, and the terms and conditions of sale, made known by  James Parker, Of Perth Amboy. Jan. 19 tawtf

FOR SALE, SEVERAL VALUABLE  Tracts of LAND, LYING in King George County, Virginia, lying on the south side of Potomack Creek, near its mouth, being one mile from the river Potomack, containing by old survey eleven hundred and ten acres. There is on the above tract of Land a dwelling house thirty by twenty, with three, with three rooms on the first floor, and two above, with fire places, a kitchen with a brick chimney, stables, corn house, meat house, dairy and other out houses; also a good framed store house by twenty four, and a granary, both perfectly new, and agreeably situated on the Creek, commanding a fine view of the river Potomack, and one of the best fisheries either on the river or creek. This creek is navigable for vessels of several tons, and abounds with wild fowl of every kind, especially ducks. The land is fertile and well adapted to the culture of corn, rye, and tobacco. There is also on it a quantity of timber of superior quality, either for ship or house building, & contiguous to the water, from whence it could be rafted to Alexandria, or to the City of Washington, and is not more than fifty miles distant from either place. The growth is chiefly red and white oak, locust, walnut, hickory, cedar and poplars of an extraordinary size. There are also a couple of small meadows now in timothy, and several other rich swamps, which may be put in at a small expense. The banks consist chiefly of shell-marl of the best quality, which affords a valuable and inexhaustible fund of manure. Likewise another valuable Tract, lying in Potomack river in King George county, near its mouth, containing about four hundred acres; one hundred of it is heavily timbered with white oak proper for house or ship building; about fifty acres of marsh, and the whole of the land perfectly level, and well adapted to farming, being of a stiff quality, and excellent for holding manure. It bounds on the river about three quarters of a mile, has a most admirable herring and rock fishery, and for wild fowl is perhaps equal to any on the Continent. It is well situated for a Ferry, being at a narrow part of the river, and is not more than thirty five miles from the City of Washington by land. We will likewise sell a valuable Tract of Land, lying partly in King George and partly in Stafford county, containing five hundred acres; this tract is about one mile from Potomack Creek, it is well timbered and watered, the soil is of an excellent quality. For a further account apply to Mr. Charles Stuart Waugh, at Dr. Benjamin Duffield's South Front Street, No. 303, or to the Subscribers, living on the premises, King George county, Virginia.

Pennsylvania Hospital 1st Month 26th 1795. The managers, being informed, that many of their Fellow-citizens, entertain an erroneous opinion, that the tax commonly called the Hospital tax, which they have lately paid, is for the use of this house; think it a duty they owe the contributors to inform the public, that this institution receives no benefit therefrom, the said tax being laid for the sole purpose of erecting a building to accommodate persons with infectious diseases which is not to be within the limits of Philadelphia. The principal dependance of the contributors to the Pennsylvania Hospital is on the legacies and voluntary contributions of their charitable and humane Fellow-Citizens, throughout the City and State. Many of these whose minds have been impressed with the necessity there is of supporting this useful and valuable institution, have enabled the managers to maintain the house, at a great expense, upwards of forty years, by the valuable gifts and bequests, they have added at various times to the capital stock. Relying still with a firm confidence on the well known benevolence of the charitable citizens of Pennsylvania, they commend the institution to their further notice, and as the funds are far short of being adequate to the heavy expenses of the house, the managers do not expect to solicit their assistance in vain. Published, by order of aboard of managers. SAMUEL COATES Sec'ty.
The managers request that the Printers of the English and German newspapers, will insert the above, to encourage the design of the contributors, in founding and supporting the Pennsylvania Hospital.

BERLIN, Nov. 11.
On the 24th of last month, the Prussian Major General Gunther repulsed the division of General Illinky, detached from the corps of General Poniatowski...
On the 26th, General Suwarrows, posted on the right banks of the Vistula defeated 4500 Poles near the suburbs of Praga, and took one General, four Majors, 41 officers, and 800 soldiers prisoners.
As the suburb of Praga consisted of wooden houses, and is lower than the city, it would be easy for the besieged to set it on fire and drive the Russian troops from it...
We are informed, that the Russian Captain Brael, who passed through this city yesterday, seemingly going to Petersburg, expresses from Gen. Suwarrows, carries the news of the surrender of Warsaw by capitulation...
Yesterday M. Von Heffe, adjutant to the Russian general Suwarrows, passed this place on his journey to Petersburg, with the news of Warsaw having capitulated to the Russians on the 9th instant.
As by the capture of Praga, to defend which the insurgents had united their utmost efforts, the prime of the Polish troops were destroyed, no hopes remained of defending Warsaw with success.
was sent to the king of Poland, to guard the safety of his person.
On the 10th, general Suwarrows himself entered the town: and on the keys being presented to him at the gates, he threw them in the air, and exclaimed, "God be praised, that they have not cost us so dear as those belonging to Prague."
It is said, that the Prussians obtained a victory over the Poles near Byura, in which the latter lost 400 men, among whom are 60 officers.
MADRID, Oct. 29.
The disastrous news from Navarre is confirmed. General Urrutia has been defeated, and the troops under his command put to flight by the French...

other hand the Russians advance but slowly towards Warsaw, and have not all their necessary artillery.
LONDON, Nov. 18.
In the midst of our present embarrassments it must give great satisfaction to our commercial readers to be informed, that the differences between this country and America are at length finally adjusted.
The posts which have been retained by the British since the last treaty of Peace are to be restored to the Americans in eighteen months.
A Commercial intercourse is to take place between America and the British West-Indies, at a low duty on tonnage.
And the important question whether neutral bottoms make free ships is to be referred to Commissioners, who are to make their report at the end of two years.
Government has at length thought proper to take up the nefarious, and so long reprobated business of the forged Assignats. Upwards of 80 foreigners concerned in this infamous traffic, are now in custody of different Messengers, preparatory to their being sent out of the kingdom, under the authority of the Alien Bill.
November 25.
Yesterday arrived the Mail from Holland; and also a servant from his Royal Highness the Duke of York with dispatches to Government.
The news received yesterday is of very considerable importance. We learn that a Truce has been signed between the Duke of York and the French General, commanding on the Waal...
The news from France is not less interesting; and we find that the Moderate Party has just obtained another victory over that of Terror.
The Convention has passed a decree, permitting such Emigrants as have not borne arms against the Republic, to return to their possessions in France, and peaceably to re-assume their former professions.
This decree, added to the suspension of arms which has taken place on the Waal, and some districts on the Rhine, may be considered as an happy omen of returning tranquility.
We understand that Mr. Jay is about to set out from this Country to Paris, on business of very great importance to this kingdom, and to all Europe.

Still we are in perfect quietness, and the centinels on the out-posts continue not to molest each other. They talk here of a peace being concluded before the end of winter...
The Count de la Union having decimated a corps of 6000 men, which behaved very ill at the attack for delivering Bellegarde, this act of just severity has excited so much discontent in his army...

HOLLAND, Lange Strate, Nov. 21.
We are, it seems, consigned to ruin and destruction. A calamity more dreadful than the arrival of the French has befallen us, and we are at once bereft of every thing we possess.
Almost all the houses are under water; several are absolutely out of sight; and the number of cattle lost is considerable.
The important trust of inundating the country, was given to persons ignorant of the effects of the waters, and those whose province it was to superintend the whole, declined it...
December 3.
In our paper of Monday, we mentioned, that M. de la Fayette had escaped from his prison. It appears, that he had been separated from Alexander Lameth, and the other companions of his misfortune...
A letter has been received by the Supreme Council at Warsaw, from General Kosciuszko, who states, that he is allowed proper medical assistance, and that his wounds are healing.
November 26.

Forty sail of vessels have lately arrived at L'Orient from America, laden with provisions which, on the departure of the American vessel, were to proceed to Brest...
General Fox has lately had two interviews with the French General Pichegru.
A few days ago, R. Jackson, a pilot belonging to Hull, found near the mouth of the Humber, an American ship called the George of Boston, without any person on board...
November 27.
There are letters in town from Madrid, so late a date as the 12th instant, which contradict all the idle reports we have heard of the flight of the royal family from thence...
So far from either of the above reports being true we can state, on the most certain authority, that the Court of Madrid has at no time been more determined to carry on the war with all the vigour and energy that it is capable of.

We can now almost positively contradict the report of the death of Tal- lion. There are letters in town from Paris of a later date than the 12th in- stant, which speak of the affairs of that country, but lay not a word about the death of Talion, nor the capture of Nantz by the Royalists. They make mention of some skirmishes between the Chouans and the Conventionals, in one of which 80 of the former cut in pieces 300 of the latter; and that the spirit of royalty prevails more and more in Brittany, Normandy and the Maine; that the Representatives of the People have issued two proclamations, prom- ising forgiveness to the peasantry of those provinces, who, seduced by the priests, have joined the Royalists, if they lay down their arms within the space of a month. They have likewise offered a reward for the heads of M. M. De Pui- saye, De La Bourdonnaye, De Boulay- villers, & other chiefs of the Royalists, on the left bank of the Loire; but these proclamations have not produced any effect.
The Alexander man-of-war of 74 guns, has been taken by the French after an obstinate engagement with a very superior force.
It appears that Admiral Bligh, in the Alexander, of 74 guns, fought with incredible bravery, Le Tygre, of 24 guns, Le Jean Bart, of 84, and a frigate of 44, four hours, before he struck his colours, which Admiral Bligh did not do till the other four line of battle ships and frigates bore down, after a fruitless chase of the Canada, of 74 guns, which escaped. Le Tygre and La Jean Bart, were wrecks as well as the Alexander, and lost 400 men killed and wounded. The Alexander lost about 80 men killed and wounded; but the officers names who fell cannot be ascertained.
The French prize-master also says, that on the 23d of October, 2 ships of the line and 16 transports full of troops, failed for the West-Indies.
November 28.
The Spanish vessel retaken by the Audacious man-of-war, arrived at Ply- mouth, was taken on the 19th inst. by a French frigate, which was part of a squadron consisting of two 74, three sloops, and eleven transports, having on board 3000 troops. This squadron was reported, on board the French fri- gate, to be bound for Martinique.
A vessel, arrived at one of the out ports passed through Lord Howe's fleet on the 23d instant.
No news has yet been received of any part of the rich Mediterranean Convoy, which is daily expected.
The Spanish Government has sent some Members of the Council of Castile, in quality of Commissioners to the Armies. It is much to be hoped, that in adopting this system of the Conventionals, to whom it has been so serviceable the Court of Madrid will also take effectual measures to commu- nicate to its Armies the activity and energy which reign in those of the com- mon enemy.
It is remarked, that in the Madrid Gazettes received by the last Mail, and which come down to the 12th instant, no mention is made of the victory ob- tained by the French in the neighbour- hood of Pampeluna according to the report made to the National Conven- tion.
On the death of Robespierre a sud- den reverse took place. The proscri- bed lists, which amounted to upwards of 6000 including the whole of the Na- tional Guard, were produced, only to confirm to public detestation, the mon- ster with whom they had originated, and Julien, his nephew, by whom they were to have been executed. Plenty began once more to appear in the mar- kets, and on the 2d of September, Iba- beu, a member of the convention, was sent on a mission to Bourdeaux, where his first act was to release all the British confined in the maison d'Arret. Of the number thus released were, Messrs. Johnson, Barron, Foster, Martin and Galway, with all their clerks and de- pendants; and also Mr. Skelton, an English gentleman; with Messrs. Hays and Beeche, two Irish gentlemen who were arrested on their return from the waters of Barrege.

Earl Howe, with the fleet under his command, returned to Spithead on Mon- day morning, without having fallen in with any of the squadrons of French cruizers said to be at sea.
The trial of Capt. Molloy, we un- derstand, is to be immediately proceed- ed to.
Orders are sent to the war office, to the Lord Lieutenants of the several counties in Great-Britain, for an im- mediate return to be made of the seve- ral regiments of militia, with complete
lists of the officers, subalterns, and privates, as they are now in quarters, &c. for the winter.
His Majesty has given the command of the six regiments composing the 1- rith Brigade, formerly in the service of France, to the following gentlemen:

Last Thursday se'nnight the long contested election for Knight of the shire of Kerry ended, when Mr. Crof- bie was elected, by a majority of three.
The Marquis of Luccheini has for- mally contradicted, at the Court of Vienna, the report of the King of Prus- sia, his master, having entered into a separate treaty with the French.
The number of persons confined in the prisons of Paris, on the 8th of No- vember, was 3958. During the latter part of the reign of Robespierre the number was 7485.
The French have laid a contribution of nine millions of livres on the city of Cologne; and have, besides, demanded that the price should deliver up to them every article of plate belonging to the churches, on pain of death. They have planted the tree of liberty on the dome of the great cathedral of the city.
In consequence of the sudden change of affairs in Poland, it is said the King of Prussia has sent an order to Gen. Moellendorf, that the 20,000 troops ordered back to Prussia should remain on the Rhine; and that, in consequence of this order, these troops, which had begun their march, are returned to their former cantonments. The Austrians and Prussians meditate an attempt to drive the French from before May- ence.
The Emperor has issued, an edict dated the 28th of October, to the Di- rectors of the Circles of the Empire, containing an exhortation:
1. That vigorous measures should be taken to recruit and increase the army of the Empire to triple the number of troops of which it consisted hitherto, which shall be effected in the speediest manner possible, that the reinforce- ments should arrive at the army on the 1st of February next.
2. That all the States of the Empire, who have already troops upon no esta- blished footing, should in these press- ing and dangerous times, march them immediately to join the grand Imperial army for the defence of the Empire.
3. That his Imperial Majesty expects that no State will shew, from individual interest, or from other false principles, any backwardness against contributing to the general defence of the Empire. His Majesty would never have manifest- ed any suspicions respecting this point, if unfortunately experience had not shewn him, that from the time the in- crease of the army had been determined to be triple the number of the for- mer establishment, that the measure has not yet been accomplished to this day.
His Imperial Majesty, however, from the confidence he placed in the Princes who are invested with the directions of the Circles, hopes that they will take the most vigorous measures to enforce the recruiting of the army of the Em- pire.
November 19.
Letters from Hamburg received yester- day, acknowledge that the report of a treaty of Peace between the King of Prussia and the French Republic, supposed to have been concluded at Neufchatel, in Switzer- land, is wholly unfounded, and was mere- ly a matter of commercial speculation. The same letters add, that the French Re- public has released, without any ransom, all the Swiss officers, and soldiers, taken prisoners from the Allied Armies, on their word of honor not to serve against France during the present war.
M. de Vither, Staphorst, and five o- ther ringleaders at Amsterdam, who pre- sented the late seditious Memorial to the States General, have been sentenced to six years imprisonment; at the expiration of which time they are to be banished for life.
UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, Jan. 31.
Extract of a Letter from the honorable JOHN JAY, to his Brother, Mr. Frederick Jay, in this city, dated No- vember 21.
"It will give you pleasure to be informed that THE TREATY I WAS SENT HERE TO NEGOTIATE WAS SIGN- ED THE DAY BEFORE YESTER- DAY."
Last evening arrived from London the ship Elizabeth, in 62 days; and con- sequently brings not so late intelligence as the Columbia from Bristol. In her came passengers Mr. Pownall, of the old Ameri- can company, and the two Miss Wright- ens, daughters of the celebrated Mrs. Pownall, so well known on the American Stage.
Maebricht surrendered the 4th Novem- ber, after a siege which lasted from the 22d September. The Prince of Hesse Cas- sel commanded. The French forces were commanded by General Kleber.
Nimeguen was taken possession of on the 8th November. The evacuation was so precipitate that all the artillery and can- non fell into the hands of the enemy.
In addition to the intelligence received by the Columbia, we have particular plea- sure in handing the following articles re- pecting the happy success of Mr. JAY's embassy.
In confirmation, a Gentleman of this city has received the following from a re- spectable American house in London, dated the 24th November.
"It will give you pleasure to hear that the treaty of Amity, Navigation and com- merce was finally concluded by Mr. Jay, on the 29th inst.—the particulars have not transpired.
Further—A letter of the 2d December from London, has this article, "The on- ly circumstance against the treaty, are the objections that may oppose its ratification in America."
This letter refers to others written pre- viously, and which have not come to hand. It confirms, however that a treaty has been signed; and as to the objections, it cannot perhaps, mean more than that uncertainty which attends every treaty, until it is finally ratified by the government which it affects.
William Goddard, Esq. late printer at Baltimore, is elected a member of the Rhode-Island House of Assembly.
We hear that the state of Kentucky has laid a tax on all the lands, to be paid on the 4th of February next, on pain of forfei- ture of the lands. And that the legisla- ture of the territory south of the Ohio, have laid on a land tax, to be paid on forfei- feiting 125 dollars, and a double tax to be levied on the land.
Died,—yesterday, after a short illness, Mr. JOHN BERRY, of the House of Messrs. Berry, Rogers, and Berry, a native of Old England, and long an in- dustrious and respectable merchant of this city. His numerous friends and acquaintances are invited to attend his funeral from the house in Hanover Square, to-morrow afternoon, at 4 o'clock.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2.
From a Correspondent.
It is laughable to watch the twist- ing of a certain party: Last Session they foretold, with wonderful sagacity, that moderation on our part would only in- crease the insolence of Britain; and that all attempts at negotiation would be fruitless. That nation, said they, must be frightened by our threats into an amicable arrangement. Their measures were, happily for the country, all rejected, and the prudent policy of Smith, Ames, and others carried into effect—a Treaty was resolved on, and preparatory measures made for war, in case of its failure. Now the treaty has succeeded, and the eyes of a happy and grateful people are turned to those who saved us from war, and procured us what we wished, with- out money or blood, this party have the modesty to claim some of the merit of this very Treaty, which they labour- ed, with all their might, first to prevent and afterwards to frustrate. Oh! rare politicians! do you really think the A- merican people so ignorant?
Extract of a letter from a very respect- able house in London, to his friend in this Country, dated the 6th De- cember, 1794.
"The treaty has actually been signed between the United States and Great- Britain, and published in our Gazettes—in consequence thereof the price of American stock has risen very consider- ably, particularly Bank Stock, which is at one hundred and twenty-four pounds sterling a share, dividend to the pur- chaser."
The above was received on Saturday evening, by an express who left Boston on Tuesday last; from the Boston Mer- cury of that date (included in a letter to a gentleman in this City) the following intelligence is copied.
BOSTON, Jan. 27.
On Saturday last arrived at Glouces- ter, brig Betty, Capt. Greenleaf, in 35 days from Ramsgate, England. The Editors of the Mercury, ever attentive to the duty which they owe to the pub- lic which supports them; and wishing that their patrons should have the first perusal of intelligence so important as they had a right to anticipate from the
extraordinary passage of this arrival they yesterday went to Cape Ann, and returned to town this morning. The Captain, in the hurry of sailing, left papers to the 17th December, which he had prepared to fetch with him, at his boarding house, and unfortunately his memory is not sufficiently retentive to furnish us, with many articles of their contents. We are indebted to private letters for those of the most im- portance.
COMMERCIAL TREATY.
The following extracts of letters, are from good authorities in England, to mercantile gentlemen of the first cha- racter in this place.
London, Nov. 27.
"Since the execution of the TREA- TY between the UNITED STATES and this COUNTRY, has been an- nounced, in the Gazette, the Ameri- can Funds have taken a start."
December 6.
"The Treaty you will be pleased with, and your newspapers, go by the Au- ra, Hovey."
GENERAL NEWS.
The oral information by Capt. G. is rather of a negative nature. He says Amsterdam was not taken. There had been no late naval engagement, the Bri- tish fleet was in port; neither of the al- lied powers had negotiated a peace, tho' many respectable merchants, with whom Capt. G. conversed, imagined the war would not continue three months longer.
Earl Moira, had the command of the British army, defending Holland; the Duke of York, having gone to Eng- land to be present at the marriage of the Prince of Wales, which, however, had since been postponed to spring, by reason of the difficulty of getting the betrothed Princess from the continent.
Capt. Greenleaf from England, men- tions a disgraceful report—that an A- merican brig, bound from France, to a northern port on the continent, was run down by a Swedish vessel, in the English Channel, and every soul on board perished, except Mr. Williams, supercargo, who was, by some means happily saved. It is apprehended that Mr. Samuel Williams of this town is the man.
Salem Gaz.
Also arrived at Cape Ann, Schooner Freedom, Captain Griffin, in 42 days from Nantz. For 20 days prior to her sailing, an Embargo had existed at that place on American vessels; another was about to take place, when he avoided it by towing his vessel from Pain-Beaufi. All sorts of naval stores, being in re- quisition for the use of the nation, they were taken from every merchant at Nantz, who possessed them.
Likewise at Cape Ann, Schooner Martin, Captain Knowles, in 44 days from Copenhagen. Captain Hopkins, in a Snow belonging to Bolton, run ashore near Copenhagen, strained her- self so as to leak very much, and da- maged her cargo; obliged to return to port and discharge.
Sailed from Ramsgate with Capt. G. brig Smith, of Newbury- port, for Liverpool; ship Merchant, Fitzgerald, of Portland, for Liverpool; brig Defiance, Williams, Savannah; brig —, Art, Philadelphia.
The day Capt. G. put into Ram- sgate 20 sail of vessels were cast away, among which were three Americans; Capt. White of Boston, in a brig, lost his mate, and two seamen, the vessel and cargo; Capt. Parks of New-York, ves- sel and cargo lost, people saved. The other vessel unknown.
By a vessel arrived at Norfolk, let- ters are received in this city from New Orleans, containing intelligence, that a considerable part of the town was destroyed by a dreadful conflagration that broke out on the 8th December, in the most improved and opulent part of that city, which experienced a like calamity but a few years ago. It is supposed that 400 buildings, including a magazine of powder, have been con- sumed by this last disaster.
Extract of a letter from the Havannah, dated December 24th, 1794.
"I wrote you a few days since via Charleston, informing you of the me- lancholy fate of New-Orleans, one third of which was burnt to the ground on the 8th instant. In the space of three hours, all the Merchant's Stores, with- out any other exceptions, than those of Messrs. Merricutt, Cavelier, and Petit; have been destroyed, mine in the num- ber, and my loss is considerable—the particulars I will in a day or two give you."
Married, on Thursday evening, by the Rev. Doctor Green, the Rev. John
Abel, assistant minister to the second and third Presbyterian Churches in this city, to Miss Molly Stille, Daughter of John Stille, Esq.
Married on Thursday evening, by the Rev. Dr. Helmuth, Mr. William Beyroth, merchant, of this city, to the amiable Miss Jane F. Charlotte Eckstein.
Married on Saturday evening last, Mr. Daniel Sutter, Jew, of Fourth- Street, to Mrs. Miller of Front-Street.
Since the news of the Treaty arrived Stocks have risen—but the price is unsettled—A considerable permanent advance is to be expected; perhaps five per Cent. added to the price published this day may not be wide of the mark. By the late accounts from London we learn that the British 3 per Cents were at 68 1-3.
The length of European intelligence has excluded for this day a variety of original communications proceedings of Congress &c. &c.

BOOKS, PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Mathew Carey, No. 118, Market Street.
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth. By Mrs Rowson of the New Theatre Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extracts from the Critical Reviews, April 1793, 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: of the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony is not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for an error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.] 2. The Inquisitor —by Mrs. Rowson. 52- second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents 3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine. 4. Notes on the State of Virginia —by Thomas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and a half. 5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. “The authors have preferred to assign to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with seeing the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every cenurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither Tories nor republicans—they love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.” “In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the cloud of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.” EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 22.
“We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind.” 6.

Embellished with a map of Barbary, comprehending Morocco, Fez, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoly. To the present edition is added a very copious index, containing letters from sundry American prisoners in Algiers to their friends in the United States—a list of the vessels taken—and many very interesting articles not in the first edition. 15.

Inland Navigation. In the Press and speedily will be published by Zachariah Poulson jun. No. 80, Chestnut street, A N HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF THE Rise, progress, and present state OF THE Canal Navigation in Pennsylvania. With an Appendix, containing Abstracts of the Acts of the Legislature since the year 1792, and their Grants of Money for improving Roads and NAVIGABLE WATERS throughout the state—on which is annexed, “An Explanatory Map.” Published by Direction of the President and Managers of the Schuylkill and Susquehanna, and the Delaware and Schuylkill Navigation Companies. “Here smooth CANALS, across the extend- ed plain Stretch their long arms to join the distant main.” The sons of toil, with many a weary stroke Scoop the hard bosom of the solid rock; Resistless through the fls opposing clay, With leady patience, work their gradual way; Compel the Genius of the unwilling flood Through the brown horrors of the aged wood; Cross the lone waste the silver urn they pour, And cheer the barren heath, or fallen moor. “The traveler, with pleasing wonder sees The white sail gleaming through the dusky trees; And views the alter'd landscape with surprise And doubts the magic scenes that round him rise. Now like a flock of swans, above his head, Their woven wings the flying vessels spread Now meeting streams, in artful maze, glide While each, unmingle'd, pours a separate tide; Now, through the hidden veins of earth they flow, And visit sulphurous mines and caves below. The ductile streams obey the guiding hand, And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND!” Jan. 19
