New Proposals for EDWARD'S History of the WEST-INDIES: A Work in the Knowledge of which every American is interested; whether devoted to business, or desirous of instructive amusement. IT has been intimated to the subscriber from different quarters, that the above work, if printed in Octavo, would give more general satisfaction than the Quarto form in which he has proposed it, and especially if the price of it could be reduced. In order therefore to meet the fashion of the public, and to get so useful a work to this country into general circulation, he now proposes to alter the form, and instead of the Two Volumes, Quarto, to print it in Three Volumes, Octavo. To reduce the price, he proposes to omit the prints, which being only ornamental, can be of no consequence; But the Maps, without which the work would be very incomplete indeed, will be all retained. The price by this means will be reduced upon the whole, Three Dollars and an half, as will be observed in the difference between the former and the following Proposals, which the subscriber respectfully offers the public, soliciting their encouragement to the work by early subscription; intending, with the addition of a few more names to his List, to commence publishing, and to continue it every week till the whole is finished. And when it is considered, that the work is to be illustrated and embellished with a large two sheet MAP of the West-Indies, and with Ten other Maps of the islands separately, it must surely be esteemed as unusually cheap. JAMES HUMPHREYS. CONDITIONS on which the above History is to be printed. It shall be illustrated with a large two sheet general Map of the West-Indies, and with ten other Maps, viz. of Jamaica, Barbadoes, Grenada, St. Vincent, Dominica, St. Christopher's, Nevis, Antigua, the Virgin Islands, and Hispaniola. It shall be printed in large Octavo, on a neat type and on the best printing paper; agreeable to the specimen to be had of the printer. It shall be published in numbers weekly; each number to contain forty pages of letter press; and is calculated to be completed in thirty six numbers. The price for each number to be One Quarter of a Dollar, to be paid on delivery. Should it exceed the thirty-six numbers the remainder will be given gratis. The Maps will be delivered with the numbers to which they particularly attach, free of any additional price. And a direction will be given against what particular page each one is to be placed. The subscribers names, with the title pages &c. will be given with the last numbers. Note. Such subscribers as do not incline to receive the numbers as they are published, will have them carefully reserved for them on paying four dollars at the time of subscribing, and the remainder when the work is finished. To prevent disappointment or complaint, it is now promised, that as there will be but a very few copies struck off more than may be subscribed for, the price will be considerably raised after the publication of the number containing the first Map, which will be of the island of Jamaica. Philadelphia, June 21, 1800. Subscriptions are received by said Humphreys; No. 106, the South side of Market-street; Mr. W. P. Young, Charleston, South Carolina; Messrs Way and G. at the Federal City; Mr. William Pritchard, at Richmond, Virginia; Mr. G. Hill, Baltimore, Maryland; Messrs Thomas and James Swears, New York; Mr. Isaac Beers, New Haven, Connecticut; Mr. James White, Boston; and Mr. T. C. Cushing, Salem, Massachusetts. Since putting these Proposals to Press the Ed. for has been favoured with a London News Paper of February, containing an Advertisement, that a THIRD Volume of the History of the West-Indies, by Bryan Edwards, Esquire, P. R. S. &c. will be speedily published; He therefore proposes adding it to this Edition, supposing it may make perhaps a fourth Volume; It being impossible however to ascertain from present information what it may make, he can only say, it shall be done on the same terms on which it is proposed to do the above. June 21.

300 Dollars REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the 18th of June inst. TWO NEGRO SERVANTS; viz a negro woman named Pat, a washer-woman and cook, of about fifty two years of age—tall and well shaped, of a black complexion. She has bad teeth, those of her under jaw are much discoloured and projected a good deal. She has a full head of wooly hair—a very cross forbidding countenance, is very impertinent, and laughs and talks loud. Pat was born in South Carolina, and speaks bad English, with the negro dialect. She has on the upper part of her breast, two pretty large lumps of flesh resembling Wens, or rather with the appearance of the marks of a burn. She carried away with her several changes of cloths, and gowns of white muslin, and of coloured and figured printed cottons fashionably made up. She also carried away with her. CLARA her daughter—a very stout, robust, strong made girl, of a short stature, and round shouldered—appearing to be about 14 years of age. Clara has large staring eyes, a flat nose, an oval flat face, her under jaw projecting a little, and good teeth. She is very artful and impudent, has a great fluency of speech, uses good language, and has been taught to read. She has the appearance of ring worms on her left cheek and chin; the skin in spots appearing much paler than the rest of her complexion, which is much lighter than her mother's—her hair is short and wooly. She wore a pink ground printed cotton with a small black figure, with new fine parts. Also ran away, on Wednesday the 11th inst. June, DICK and AMELIA. Dick, or as he has lately called himself, Richard Weaver, is a house-servant—he is about 5 feet 7 inches high, rather small made, is about 25 years old, of a good smooth, black complexion—has a flat nose, with very large open nostrils. He carried his head and neck as if he were stiff in the neck and shoulders, which are high and tolerably square; and his neck short—his legs are straight but small and silly made, with scarce any calf. He has had teeth, is left handed, and exceedingly awkward—he has a full head of wooly hair, which he plait and dress to the best advantage. His voice is small, his speech commonly mild and slow, and his manners appear extremely simple, but he is at bottom an artful knave, and when spoken to is very apt to be passionate and impertinent. Dick is a native of South-Carolina, and speaks bad English—he seduced and carried away with him Amelia, who he called his wife.
CLARA is a very complete, well instructed ladies maid, much below the common stature and of a small make—her complexion is that of a dark mulatto or melleize, nearly resembling that of the Lascars of India, with black curling hair, and a very low forehead—her right eye has a great weakness, owing to the small pox in her infancy—under her eyes very black—a flat face, flat broad nose, with scarce any rising at the bridge; a large mouth, with thick lips, and good strong teeth. On the nose of her neck she has the marks of a Seton. Dresses with taste, and imitates the French style; is very sensible, and expresses herself well. She took with her a variety of clothes, fashionably made—she has for more than two years past been liable to fits, which at times give her a wildness in her eyes—her health is generally delicate—she is at present likely to enclose her family, and is about 22 years of age—she can dress hair, clear flesh, has a taste for military and mantua-making; and as she is very ingenious, can turn her hand to any thing and may probably offer herself to some milliner or mantua maker as a work-woman. As Amelia has heretofore been a great favourite of a very indulgent mistress, and 'tis believed has been led away by the persuasion of her paramour Dick, if she will return to me, she will be forgiven and treated with the same tenderness she has always received. FIFTY DOLLARS Reward for each will be paid for the delivery of Pat and Clara to the subscriber, or to any goal in the United States, so that I may get possession of them—One Hundred Dollars each for Dick and Amelia, on the like delivery. The subscriber warns all master of vessels, from taking these Runaway servants from the United States, and requests such of his friends and acquaintance as it may not suit to arrest them, to give information, should they hear of either of the fugitives, to the subscriber by letter directed to the post office, Philadelphia, which will find him, wherever he may pass the summer, or to the Printer of the Gazette of the United States, who will communicate it to a friend in Philadelphia to act on his behalf. JACOB READ. Of South-Carolina, corner of Fourth and Union-streets, Philadelphia. June 25.
THE UNDERSIGNED, HIS Swedish Majesty's Consul General, and authorized to transact the Consular business, for his Majesty the King of Denmark in the United States of America, residing at Philadelphia, Hereby gives public Notice, That in obedience to recent instructions received from his government, it is the duty of all Masters of Swedish and Danish vessels, before their sailing from any port in the said States, to call upon him or the Vice Consul, in order to be granted such Certificates for their Cargoes, which the exigency of the date of the Neutral Commerce and the several Decrees of the Belligerent Powers, renders indispensably necessary, and that any Master of vessels belonging to the respective nations, or navigating under the protection of their flags, in omitting to take such certificates, will necessarily stand responsible for the consequences. RICHARD SOLERSTRÖM. Philadelphia, 18th December, 1799.

The following is a corroborative of the article under the Boston head:—
Extract of a letter from Live pool dated May 11.
The official account of the defeat of Miffena's army was published here this day; after a number of trifling actions with various success, the French are said to have lost twelve thousand men, by this account—The Austrians are in pursuit of the flying remains of their army.
A postscript to the above letter says—Accounts are this moment received that Savona and Gavi are taken—A great battle was fought on the 21st and 22nd, which decided the fate of Miffena's army. He is hemmed in with a few thousand men, and must surrender.
The Captain of a French 26 gun ship, 40 days from Brest, which was sent into Barbadoes about 30 days since, informed that he sailed in company with five 20 gun ships, to cruise on the American coast; and that he had taken two ships which he had burnt and a brig. [To prevent them from falling into the hands of the British I suppose—How kind]
Extract of a letter from Demarara.
The following exports from hence, in the last homeward bound fleet, flew the importance of this colony. I have not been able to ascertain the exact number of vessels freighted, but apprehend there remains as much produce as will freight as many more. Coffee, 4,860,799 pounds; cotton, 7621 bales; sugar, 82,770 hogsheads; rum, 474 puncheons.”
[The foundation of the following pretty Ode is in the Essays of Michael Montaigne, who, in his rambling, but agreeable way, relates his discovery of the Indian original, and his surprise at finding such a festive and Anacreontic turn to a Poem, written in rude time, by the rudest of bards. The following in its English dress is from the pen of Mr. Thomas Warton, the father of two poetical brothers; a family in which genius and taste and invention seem to be hereditary.]
AMERICAN LOVE ODE.
Taken from the second volume of Montaigne's Essays.
By T. Warton the elder.
STAY, stay, thou lovely fearful snake, Nor hide thee in yon darksome brake: But let me sit thy charms review, Thy glittering scales and golden hue; From these a chapel shall be wove To grace the youth I dearly love,
II. Then ages hence, when thou no more Shalt creep along the sunny shore, Thy copied beauties shall be seen; Thy red and azure, mixed with green, In mimic folds thou shalt display; Stay, lovely, fearful adder, stay.
Notwithstanding the many severe things which have been said against the projected Dictionary by Noah Webster, Esquire, and notwithstanding the author and his project appear equally ridiculous to many judicious and sensible men, yet in some measure it appears commendable as there are undoubtedly many words which have lost their original English meaning, and applied in a manner, entirely unintelligible to some. The word Esquire, for instance, (in England) and till lately in America, when attached to a name, is a title to honor and respect. This certainly, cannot be the present American meaning, for it has actually been attached to the names of Michael Lieb and Frederick Wolpert—a friend of mine who is an accurate critic and is well acquainted with the use or rather abuse of words in this country, on hearing the above remark has said that in this instance, Esquire ought to be understood in a manner very opposite to honor or respect.
One of the ancients, and certainly not the greatest fool of his tribe, used, whenever he was deliberating on any grave or state affairs, to consult his wife, hear her advice, and then made it an invariable rule to act diametrically opposite to the opinion of the lady. This procedure suggests a good rule for construing the “Aurora.” Let the good people, who pore, or who yawn over that paper, whenever they have finished their valuable morning's work, believe the very reverse of every Aurora position. There cannot be imagined a shorter, or more direct road to political truth.
It is recommended to dear Tuico to deposit himself in full dress among the hornets' nests and humming birds' bills of the American Philosophical Society! Such a be-powdered, be-fecented, be-feathered gooseberry-eyed thing would rival in interest any owl or monkey in the collection. A philosophical society of philosophical Americans must be extremely amused and edified in surveying such a rara avis, such a hufus nature—such a non descript inferior to nothing, except the Big Bull and our Great Rock Bridge in Virginia; and Benjamin Banmaker, and the Philosopher's Notes, written at the request of a learned foreigner who was a Frenchman.
Major Toufard is appointed Lieutenant Colonel Commandant of the second Regiment of Artillerists and Engineers.

LOTS,
IN THE TOWNSHIP OF BLOCKLEY, FOR SALE OR TO BE LET, ON GROUND RENT, One mile and a half from the Centre Square, fronting on Market, Chestnut and Walnut Streets continued, between the turnpike and the road leading from thence to Baltimore. The situation of these lots is more elevated than any within the same distance of the city, of which and the surrounding country, it commands beautiful and extensive views, and has at the same time the advantage of being on the side of Schuylkill generally esteemed most healthy.
The dimensions of the lots are particularly calculated to suit industrious citizens, whose occupations, although requiring them to be near the town, may be nevertheless advantageously pursued without its bounds. There are in the neighbourhood numerous stone quarries, and there is at the middle ferry (well lided) a board yard, where wooden materials for building, as well as cedar posts and rails for fencing, may be had at lower rates than in the city.
