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 South 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 lays in a triangular form. Building Lots on several streets in this part of the town sell from five to ten dollars and two thirds a foot front, and the extension of Albany street, which the situation admits of for a half foot 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 for-houses and wharves, and affords a seat for a Grist 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 Farmhouse 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 32 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

Said Green solicits a continuance of that share of the Public Patronage, which he has hitherto so amply experienced, and which shall be his study to merit by his close attention to business.

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 1791, p. 468. It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, of the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony is, if 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 one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. It is a fiction, precept justice is not, we think, properly illustrated. 2. The Inquisitor—by Mrs. Rowson, 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 presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial , and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling 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 censurable action, whenever 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 tory nor republican—They love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble 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.

acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealous of either party. But when time shall mitigate the cloud of political deception, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The speech of Mr. SMITH, of South-Carolina, on the subject of the reduction of the Public Debt, when the report was first debated, in December, 1794.
Mr. Smith began with observing, that having brought in the report which was under consideration, it might be expected that he should enter into some details, explanatory of the views of the select committee in making it.
The subject was one, which from its being necessarily connected with numerical statements, and dry calculations, would be likely to fatigue, were it not at the same time rendered highly interesting, by its immediate connection with the ease and comfort of our constituents, and the credit and prosperity of our country. He should, therefore, with confidence, anticipate the attention of the committee, while he developed the principles of the report, and pointed out the beneficial consequences which, in his estimation, would result from the adoption of it.
A proper consideration of the plan reported would lead to the following enquiries: 1st. What is the actual amount of the debt? 2d. What is the actual state of our revenues? 3d. What will, probably, be the state of our revenues for a series of years to come, excluding the casualty of war? 4th. Whether all the existing revenues ought to be kept in existence for a period, commensurate with the existence of the debt; or, if short of that period, for what length of time? 5th. What disposition ought to be made of any annual surplus of revenue which may exist, after satisfying the annual appropriations for the current expenditures, the interest of the debt and the sum annually redeemable? 6th. Whether the sale of the western lands ought, at this time, to be resorted to, as an auxiliary resource for the reduction of the debt?
1st. The actual amount of the debt, Mr. Smith stated to be as follows:
Table with 2 columns: Description, Amount. Rows include: Total of 6 per cent. stock, 27,557,116; 6 per cent stock standing to the credit of certain states, 2,345,056; Total of deferred stock, 29,902,172; Total of 3 per cents. about 20,000,000; Total of domestic debt, 64,853,208.
Of the above sum it was necessary to remark, that about 2,500,000 still remained in the shape of registered and unsubscribed debt, the greatest part of which, it was presumable, would soon be subscribed; and that the sum of 2,265,022 was now the property of the sinking fund, subject, nevertheless, to redemption on the same terms as the remainder of the debt.
Such being the state of the debt, and the government having reserved, by the law which modified it, a right to redeem it by payments not exceeding, in each year, the sum of eight dollars on every hundred dollars of the six per cent. stock for principal and interest, it would be seen, that stating the 6 per cents. at 29,902,172, the 2 per cent. on account of principal, which the government has a right to pay, will be the sum of 598,043 dollars; which sum, with the interest annually liberated thereby, will be sufficient to meet the annual instalments, according to the right reserved, until the year 1801; when the further sum of 299,021 dollars, being the two per cent. on the deferred annual payment of that two per cent. besides the sum of 897,062 dollars, as an annual provision for the interest, which will then become payable thereon. Some calculations would be, hereafter, exhibited to show the operation of these payments on account of the principal of the debt, and the length of the time requisite for the complete discharge of the whole of the six per cents. and deferred debt.
2d. The second consideration was, the state of our resources.
After a survey of the state of our burdens, a picture which, however unavoidable, and the necessary price of our liberties, was still an unpleasant one, it must be highly gratifying, to every patriotic eye, to survey the interesting picture which the present state of our revenues exhibited. The beauty of this picture was considerably heightened by contrasting it with the gloomy scenes displayed in the old world, where the great and powerful nations of Europe were heaping burden upon burden on their distressed subjects, and exhausting their resources and their strength in a conflict the most bloody and obstinate
that history had recorded, while this happy country, under the auspices of peace, and the smiles of Providence, was increasing in its population, its commerce, and its strength in a progression which outran all calculation.
At the close of the year 1793, there existed a surplus of revenue beyond the appropriations of 2,487,181.
At the close of the present year, (1794) notwithstanding the extraordinary and heavy expenditures of this year, for the building of frigates, fortifications, purchase of military stores, and the expensive supplies for the western army under General Wayne, a surplus is stated of 842,425.
At the close of the year 1795, the probable surplus is estimated at 700,000 dollars, after discharging, out of the revenues of that year, the enormous sum of 1,122,569 dollars, for the expenses of the army employed to suppress the rebellion in Pennsylvania, in addition to a heavy expense for the regular military establishment, and a further sum for fortifications.
While we exult, said Mr. Smith, at this flourishing aspect of our affairs, ought we to withhold our gratitude from those to whose steady policy and judicious arrangements our country is, in no small degree, indebted for such blessings? He was happy for one to avail himself of this opportunity, while he gloried, as an American, in the unparalleled prosperity of his country, to render his small tribute of approbation to those who had contributed by their firmness and wisdom, to preserve the peace of our country, and to fill the coffers of our treasury by an excellent system of administration; to the President, who had, at a most critical period, by his magnanimous conduct, stemmed a torrent which was hurrying us away to a destructive war; and to the Secretary of the Treasury, whose unremitting and assiduous labours had given energy and system to the complex machinery of an extensive and intricate department, and to whose fidelity and services a large committee of this House had borne testimony at the last session, he felt that much was due, and thus feeling, he could not, on this occasion, suppress the sentiments he had expressed.
It is evident, said Mr. S. from the above view of our revenue, and the appropriations to which it is subject, that there will be a surplus adequate to the discharge of the instalment which the government has the right to redeem in the year 1795.
3d. The next subject of enquiry is, whether the state of our revenues for a series of years will be likely to enable the government to continue the regular and gradual discharge of the future instalments?
A view of this part of the subject must exclude altogether the idea of a foreign war, for all must agree that such a national calamity would at the same time dry up the sources of some of our best revenues, and divert others from those channels in which they would in time of peace, flow for the beneficial purposes of reducing the debt: a war, while it would necessarily interrupt the payment of the existing debt, would as certainly create a new one, proportioned to the nature and duration of such war. Our calculations must therefore be predicated on a state of peace, and God forbid, said Mr. S. that we may ever have to make them on any other hypothesis!
Table with 2 columns: Description, Amount. Rows include: The existing revenues arise from the following sources, and are estimated in round numbers, at the following sums, Impost and tonnage, 5,500,000; Excise, 4,00,000; Carriage tax, 150,000; Sugar and snuff tax, 90,000; Auction tax, 40,000; Licences for retailing wines, &c. 100,000; Surplus of dividend on bank stock and post office, 70,000; Total, 6,350,000.
The charges which will probably exist for a series of years, may be estimated as follows, viz:—
Table with 2 columns: Description, Amount. Rows include: Civil list, 500,000; Interest on foreign and domestic debt, 3,100,000; Military establishment, including pensions, 1,500,000; Naval do. 400,900; Interest on temporary loans, 100,000; Light-House establishments, 24,000; Surplus 5,624,000; Total, 6,350,000.
The result of the above comparative view of our permanent revenues and expenditures, which is obviously to a certain extent conjectural, exhibits a surplus of above 700,000 dollars, which will furnish more than the requisite sum for the annual redemption, until the year 1801; when, as already shewn, further sums will be wanted, to meet the deferred debt.
With respect to the above statement of our revenues and expenses, the following observations occur: 1st, With respect to our revenues:
The impost and tonnage are estimated to produce the sum of 5,500,000 dollars; but this calculation, I understand, is bottomed on the imports of the present year, which, it has been suggested to me by persons of commercial knowledge, greatly exceed the ordinary importations, and are attributable to the prodigious emigrations to this country, which are likely to be diminished when peace takes place, and therefore likely to cause a diminution hereafter of that branch of revenue.
Should this suggestion be well founded, and the revenue from impost be reduced, the defalcation will probably be counteracted by a proportional increase of the product of the internal duties, some of which have hitherto yielded much less than they ought to have done from obstructions which are every day lessening, and others are of too recent a date to furnish a guide to an accurate estimate of their ultimate product. We may reasonably hope that the latter as well as the former will ere long yield a much larger sum than that at which they are estimated. 2d. With respect to the expenditures. The only prospect of a favourable alteration in that estimate arises from the military establishment, a reduction of which to any considerable extent, would be a handsome addition to the surplus. But this is more to be hoped than expected. The precarious situation of our extensive frontiers, will, for some time, preclude every rational expectation of any considerable diminution of the army: and even should it take place, it is not improbable that a part of the savings in that respect may be required for Indian presents, and trading houses for the preservation of peace. So, in regard to the annual naval establishment, which is estimated at 400,000 dollars; the savings which a reduction of that establishment would produce would necessarily be diverted to the payment of an Algerine tribute. We ought not therefore to reckon on much more than the annual surplus above stated, for several years to come. Events will determine in the year 1801, when the interest on the deferred debt shall become payable, whether any further revenues will be then wanted for that purpose.
The next subject of enquiry is, 4th. Whether all the present revenues ought to be kept in existence for a period, commensurate with the debt, or, if short of that period, what ought to be the term of their duration?
On this point we must anticipate a diversity of sentiment in the committee. It will probably be said, that as the laws of last session, imposing duties on certain internal objects, were merely experimental, and therefore limited in their duration to the term of two years, it would be expedient at this time to forestall a judgment of their utility and operation, and to repeal the clauses of limitation before we had an opportunity of judging of their effects on our constituents; that there is a prospect of the revenues arising from impost and tonnage and from distilled spirits, being hereafter adequate by their future increase, and by a probable reduction of our permanent expenses, to a full provision for all necessary objects without the aid of these new resources, and that at any rate it ought to be left to the legislature which may exist at the epoch when those laws shall expire, to judge of the fitness of a continuance of them or if a substitution of other taxes be necessary, that we should at this session content ourselves with furnishing the means for the instalment of the ensuing year, and leave it to our successors, of whose zeal we ought to entertain no doubts, to do their duty, as we shall have done ours.
To remove the weight of these objections, two points must be investigated, 1st. Whether the revenues arising from impost and tonnage and from distilled spirits, will alone be competent to the permanent expenses of the union, and the regular discharge of the debt? 2d. Whether, admitting the necessity of further resources, those of last session arising from internal objects are not the most likely to meet the general approbation of the country? 1st. Some remarks already made will apply to the first point, and elucidate the inadequacy of the duties arising from impost and tonnage, and from distilled spirits to the
payment of our annual expenses and the regular discharge of the debt: this point will be more clearly ascertained by stating that the aggregate product of those revenues is estimated at 5,900,000 dollars, whereas the permanent expenditures, and the sum annually redeemable of the debt amount to 6,224,000, leaving a deficiency of 324,000 dollars, which must be supplied by other taxes. It must be further observed, that this statement does not look beyond the end of the year 1800, for the year 1801, will call for much further revenues; an annual provision must then be made for the interest on the deferred debt, and another provision for the redemption of the capital; the former as before stated, will require the sum of 897,062 dollars, and the latter the sum of 299,021 dollars, making together 1,196,083 dollars. Hence it is demonstrable that there will be, without the aid of the new internal taxes, an annual deficiency, until the end of the year 1800, of 324,000 dollars and an annual deficiency after the year 1800 of 1,120,083 dollars.
To these authentic statements it is no answer to say that the other revenues may be increased, and that the permanent expenditures may in future years be diminished to such extent, as to obviate a recurrence to further aids. With an equal share of the prophetic gift, I have as much right to say that the former may be diminished, and the latter may be augmented to such extent as to increase the deficiency. But even admitting the hypothesis of an increment of revenue and a diminution of expense, is there no valuable object to which any occasional surplus may be applied? Would not the application of it to the sinking fund be attended, with the most advantageous consequences? Would not the annual purchase of the debt greatly accelerate the extinguishment of that curse, as it has been so emphatically called that scourge of nations that parent of excises, the horror of a free people, that rallying point of the factious, that vital nourishment of the clubs, the standard of the anarchists, and bug-bear of the ignorant? Shall we trifle with such a foe, when we have in our hands the means to subdue him? Shall we throw over this monster only a flimsy net work which he will break through in a few years, when we have the power to chain him down forever? Shall we administer only tampering medicines for this great state malady, as it has been termed, when we can perform a radical cure? Shall we exhibit ourselves as state empirics playing mountebank tricks with this deep-rooted distemper, this cancer on the body politic, when we hold the proper remedy to extirpate it? Shall we be mere dabbler in a matter of so much lasting importance to the energy and prosperity of the nation? No, Sir, let us seize with ardor on this occasion, let us with avidity embrace the opportunity, which a kind Providence, and the wisdom of our public administrators, has afforded us of striking at the root of this national evil, let us improve all the means which the virtuous acquiescence of our fellow citizens has set before us, to liberate our country from a debt, which, though honorable in its origin, vile in its modification, and just in its principles, cramps our natural energy, enfeebles our means of defence, and absorbs those resources which with proper application, would render us at all times a valuable ally and a formidable enemy. Let us avail ourselves of the present era of peace and prosperity, to lay a solid foundation for our future grandeur. A few years more of such times, and we shall have so far cut down that debt, which now exhausts one half of our revenues, as to be enabled, with the existing taxes, to equip a considerable fleet, to be fortified against any invasion, and to have a military strength which will set at defiance any nation which may be so rash as to quarrel with us. It is therefore no less our interest than our duty to make at this time a serious and a great effort to diminish the debt, and to establish a permanent system for that salutary object.
There can be little doubt, that in doing, we shall anticipate the sanguine expectations and cordial wishes of our fellow citizens thro' out the union. The President has expressed the same sentiment; the house indeed, seemed to be under a similar impression, when they unanimously acceded to the proposition which I had the honor to make at the beginning of the session, and which was, that "Further provision ought to be made for the reduction of the public debt; and that a committee be appointed to report a Plan for that purpose. The house, in directing the committee to report a Plan, had impliedly meant something, not temporary and annual but systematic and permanent. A plan excludes the idea of an annual or biennial arrangement, it contemplates
an arrangement undisturbing and durable. Any modification therefore of the debt which would be subject to change and instability, would be repugnant to the unanimous vote of the house, as already expressed, as to the wishes and feeling of our constituents.
No further argument being, it is presumed, necessary to evince the expediency of drawing into our coffers other revenues than those arising from commerce and distilled spirits, I proceed to the second consideration.—2d. Whether the duties and taxes imposed at last session on internal objects, be not preferable to any others?
Those duties and taxes, on manufactured sugar and snuff, on carriages, on licenses for retailing wines and foreign spirits, liquors, and on sales at auction, the duration of which is limited to the end of the session of Congress, subsequent to the month of June 1796. From various objects of taxation which presented themselves, there were at the last session selected by a committee composed of a member from each state; they were after a full discussion, agreed to by large majorities in both houses; they have been in operation many months, and no complaint has yet reached our ears; Congress have been in session near two months and no petition has appeared against them: To these indirect evidences of their propriety, it may be added, that they carry with them direct testimony of their merits:—they are paid by those classes of the community who can well afford it; they are simple easy and cheap, in their collection; there are no other taxes which can be recommended by so many considerations; they are as popular as taxes can be;—were they less so than I believe they are, the application of them to so popular an object will undoubtedly make them as much so as we can desire: if there should be any thing in any of them, the consideration of the good they will do, will remove it.
To what other source shall we apply? The impost is at its plus ultra; this is universally agreed: Sure is the second again, and I predict it will fail. The excise on distilled spirits is not proposed to be raised; shall we lay a land tax? unless we wish to excite a general clamor throughout the country, that subject ought not to be meddled with; let it remain as our grand resource in case of war, when dire necessity shall compel a resort to it, and when Americans will submit to it with cheerfulness.
Impressed with the solidity of these considerations, the select committee have recommended a continuance of these taxes to the year 1801. It would perhaps have been expedient to have proposed a permanent appropriation of them until the extinguishment of the debt; a spirit of conciliation induced a compromise which fixed on that epoch, when the deferred debt becomes payable, and when the legislature will decide from the then state of things, whether those or other revenues shall be requisite. Anxious as I am, to see no difficulties may hereafter interrupt the completion of this desirable work, my opinion is, that these taxes should now be permanently appropriated to the redemption of the debt, not liable to be repealed unless others of equal value shall be substituted. The committee will decide whether I am right in this opinion, or whether their duration ought to be limited to a period, when they will probably be full as necessary as at present.
The select committee have reported that the surplus of revenue which may hereafter exist after satisfying all legal appropriations, ought to be annually appropriated to the purchase of the public debt.
We may entertain a reasonable expectation that in times of public tranquility, and without the intervention of any unfortunate contingency, the existing revenues will in some years, perhaps in every year, yield an over plus, after discharging the current demands and the redeemable part of the debt; that overplus will be advantageously employed in buying up the debt. This appropriation may be made in two modes, either by now declaring by law that surplus, at the end of every year shall be applied to the purchase of the debt, unless the same shall be required for the public exigencies, and be specially appropriated thereto by act of Congress, (of which kind of appropriation there is a precedent in our statute books) or by recommending it by a resolution of this House to future Houses, to make such annual appropriations. The first mode appears the most efficacious and systematic.
With this auxiliary fund, a considerable impression on the debt may be annually made by purchases; already the interest fund, arising from interest money liberated by antecedent purchases and payments into the Treasury, amounts to the annual sum of 77,164 dollars; this fund being applied, as fast as it passes into the hands of the commissioners to further purchases is annually augmenting with all the velocity of compound interest; the accretion of the annual surpluses will still add to its celerity; the operation of the sinking fund will form a valuable aid to the redemption fund. Both these funds will be annually performing their operations; the redemption fund will annually discharge that part of the principal of the six per cents. redeemable by law, even when the debt is above par; the sinking fund will buy it up on beneficial terms when under par, besides operating on the three per cents and deferred.
6. The last point relates to the western lands, for the sale of which the committee have recommended a provision at the present session.
On that subject, it may not be amiss to remark, that much doubt is entertained by

whether this is the proper proceeding to the sale of those bonds... it is suggested that the... of the war, in that country... impede the sale or render... that Congress ought... to take no steps in regard to... until a settled and lasting... have been established. On... the other hand, the prospect of an ap-... proaching peace, and the present rage... for land speculations seem to invite to... the experiment. If adventurers are dis-... posed to purchase, notwithstanding the... war, on terms advantageous to the U-... nited States, there appear no good rea-... sons why the government should not as... early as possible avail itself of this aux-... iliary resource to reduce its debt. The... purchasers in this case run all risks, and... take upon themselves all hazards; the... government has no other care than ei-... ther to sell for ready money or to have... the contracts well secured. Should it... be thought however that any sales, pri-... or to a peace, will be disadvantageous... to the United States, it will in that case... be proper to introduce in the bill, a... clause declaring that the sales shall not... commence, until the President shall, by... proclamation, have announced a peace... with the Indian tribes. Mr. Smith then... said, having thus, Mr. Chapman, touch-... ing on the different points resulting from... the report and on the subjects incident... to a due consideration of it, I shall con-... clude with a few miscellaneous observa-... tions not immediately falling under any... of the above heads. Though they will... be more obvious and applicable when... the details of the bill shall come under... consideration, yet it may not be alto-... gether useless to draw the attention of... the committee to them at this time.
11. The first consideration which oc-... curs as a matter of detail is the doubt... whether the payment of two per cent on... the principal of the debt is to extend... to that proportion of six per cent stock... which has been purchased by the Com-... missioners of the sinking fund? It ap-... pears to me expedient that it should; in... that case, the amount so paid must be... appropriated to the sinking fund; and... the interest liberated by each annual... payment must go to (well the payment... of the ensuing year, for it will be ob-... served that, according to the right re-... served, each annual payment on account... of principal will be larger than the pay-... ment of the preceding year, by the ad-... dition of the interest liberated in that... year; by existing laws, the interest on... the debt purchased is appropriated to... the sinking fund; a repeal of that ap-... propriation will therefore be necessary.
12. The next consideration which... occurs is, by whom shall the payments... of redemption be made? The Commis-... sioners of the sinking fund present them-... selves as the most proper persons. The... monies requisite for the purpose will be... placed at their disposal, by the proper... officers of the Treasury. They will... keep two separate accounts, one relat-... ing to the redemption of the debt by... annual payments, the other relating to... the purchase of the debt.
13. Some difficulties may be suggest-... ed on the score of the certificates. Are new certificates to be issued at... every annual payment? or are the pay-... ments to be endorsed or noted on the... certificates or only entered on the books... of the Treasury in each creditor's ac-... count? How is a purchaser to know the value... of a certificate, and what steps ought... to be adopted in relation to certificates... in Europe? It may be expedient to vest... a discretionary power in the Treasury... Department, subject to the control of... the President, to regulate these details... in the manner most convenient to the... creditors, consistent however with a due... regard to the Treasury's engagements.
14. Another point of no less doubt... and of equal importance with the fore-... going will arise, i. e. whether the two... per cent on account of principal, shall... be made, quarter yearly, or annually? This doubt will require legislative deci-... sion. The advantage of paying it quar-... terly will be that it will prevent the col-... lection of large sums at the end of the... year in the Treasury; but as no inter-... est in that case will be kept till the end... of the year, expediency dictates that... the payment of the two per cent should... be made at the end of each year. Mr. Smith concluded with observing that... from the calculations which he held in... his hand, it appeared that from the... present operation of the redemption fund... the present six per cent debt would be... paid off in less than 25 years, and the... interest in less than 29; there would... then remain only the three per cent... and foreign debt; but the combined... operation of the sinking fund would... speedily accelerate the discharge of the... whole, and should the Legislature think... it expedient to encrase our revenues by new... taxes, we might soon expect to see a...

An anecdote having appeared this week in two of the daily papers of this city, of a London barber having set up a sign with a full length picture of Abolam suspended on the branches of a tree, by the hair of his head, with a motto, purporting, that if he had worn a wig he would not have met this untoward fate: A French gentleman, on reading this anecdote, assures us, that if the circumstance did not ori-... ginate in Bordeaux, it was at least co-... pied there; and that shortly after the sign was put up a hair dresser established himself in the neighbourhood, and, hurt at the innuendo conveyed against his profession, erected a sign on which were portrayed a river, a ferry boat, and a naked man; one of the passen-... gers in the boat hailing the man on board by the hair of the head, who had just been saved from sinking; with a motto, importing, that "if he had a worn a wig he must infallibly have been drowned."

From a Correspondent.
The Democratic Societies have bro't the question of their good or evil ten- dency before the public. If they are good institutions they will prevail. If they are bad, they will be branded with contempt. Indeed the question is al- ready settled, for who trumps their praises except themselves? They are as much shun'd as Cain, and every hon- est man's hand is against them, as they are against every honest man. But, in order to stop even their own bragging mouths, let them com- pare their addresses, published since the President's speech, with the charge al- ledged against them in that speech. Will not their own words confound them, as they reply to an accusation of fomenting jealousies, suspicions, and lies; against the laws and the govern- ment; by fomenting jealousies, suspi- cions, and lies, against the laws and the government. Let any one read their addresses and he will see the President has not given a worse character of their cabals than they have taken to themselves. They plead their at- tachment to the constitution and govern- ment in the style and with the spirit of David Bradford. Let them answer one more difficult question. They seldom hesitate to pub- lish their solemn opinions on knotty law points, and surely they will oblige the public, to whom they pretend to be de- voted, with an answer. Why, gentlemen patriots, do you conceal your names? Come out and shew yourselves that we may honor republi- can virtue in your persons. Publish a list and description of your members, confound your enemies who say you are an ignorant rabble; the dupes of two or three ambitious knaves. Shew your fellow citizens that liberty has chosen worthy, well informed, respectable champions to fight her battles at elec- tions, and wise prying counsellors to form her midnight cabinet.
Let all the friends of the Goddess see that she is in good hands, and not disgraced and debauched by keeping company with the meanest and most profligate riff raff—such as no decent people, much less Goddesses, would choose to be seen with. If you refuse this, the Philistines will rejoice. Your silence, or resentment, at this demand of your names and char- acters, will be understood to your dis- advantage—that you are ashamed of one, another—or that your Club-list is filled up with fictitious names, as some of our recruiting serjeants enlisted com- panies during the late war, from the grave bones. The impartial public calls the spirit from the vastly deep. It is to be seen whe- ther they will come for calling. THE WITCH OF ENDOR.

By Mrs. Rowson. As performed at the New Theatres in Phi- ladelphia and Baltimore. Extracts from the Preface. My chief aim has been, to offer to the public a Dramatic Entertainment, which while it might excite a smile, or call forth the tear of sensibility, might contain no one sentiment, in the least prejudicial, to the moral or political principles of the go- vernment under which I live. On the con- trary, it has been my end and aim, to place the social virtues in the fairest point of view, and hold up to merited contempt and ridicule, their opposite vices. If, in this attempt, I have been the least success- ful, I shall reap the reward to which I as- pire, in the smiles and approbation of a li- beral public. Sold by M. Carey, No. 128, and Rice & Co.

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 Penn- sylvania. With an Appendix, containing Abstracts of the Acts of the Legislature since the year 1792, and their Grants of Money for im- proving Roads, and Navigable Waters throughout the State - to which is sub- joined, "An Explanatory Map." Published by Direction of the President and Managers of the Schuylkill and Susque- hanna 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 brook Scoop the hard bottom of the solid rock; Resistless through the stiff opposing clay, With steady patience, work their gradual way; Compel the Genius of the unwilling flood Through the brown hollows of the aged wood; Cross the lone waste the silver urn they pour, And cheer the barren heath, or fallen moor. The traveller, with pleasing wonder sees The white fall gleaming through the dusky trees; And views the alter'd landscape with sur- prize 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 mazes glide While each, waiting, pours a separate tide; Now, through the hidden veins of earth they flow And visit sulphurous mines and caves be- low. The ductile streams obey the guiding hand, And social Plenty crowns the HAPPY LAND!" Jan. 19
