A PROPOSAL BY William Young Birch, AND Abraham Small, Of the City of Philadelphia, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THAT INVALUABLE WORK, DR RUSSELL'S HISTORY OF Modern Europe.
With an account of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the Rise of Modern Kingdoms, &c. &c.
THE great applause which this excellent book has received, is a sure proof of its merits. The vast sale which it has had for several years, is a fair criterion by which the public opinion of its worth can be known. During the life of the learned author, it went through the annual sale of a very large impression; every succeeding edition received some improvement the result of his deep researches and great judgment. He lived to make it as perfect as in the nature of things it could be. He is dead! Whilst the English language is read, the History of Modern Europe will remain a monument to his fame! It is as entertaining as instructive; as interesting as profound. The plan of the work is copious, but by a happy arrangement, the reader is at once presented with the contemporary history of every part of Europe. The book now offered to the public is from the last and most correct copy, to which this shall be no way inferior.
IT CONTAINS— An history of the decline and fall of the Roman empire. The rise of modern kingdoms generally. A particular history of the French monarchy. Do. Spain from the dominion of the Visigoths. Italy, with the rise and progress of the Temporal Power of the Popes. Britain, from its relinquishment by the Romans. Ireland. The German empire, from Charlemagne. The empire of Constantinople to its overthrow. Empire of the Arabs. Rise and progress of the Turks and of the Greek empire. History of Portugal; View of the progress of Navigation; Conquests in the East and West Indies; Discovery of America, &c. History of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Poland and Prussia. North America, as connected with European history. A very comprehensive and highly useful chronology.
CONDITIONS. I. The whole shall be comprised in five large octavo volumes, printed in the best manner, on a superior paper. II. It is intended to deliver one volume every two months, at the price of Two Dollars per volume in boards, payable on delivery. III. As it may be inconvenient to deliver them to distant subscribers in single volumes, those who with it, may let them remain with the publishers until the whole are published.
The work is at press and will be printed on a beautiful new type call for the purpose. The encouragers of this undertaking may rest assured, that nothing now foreseen shall delay its regular production; so that in one year at farthest the citizens of the United States shall be presented with an American Edition of Doctor Russell's History of Modern Europe, equal to the English copy, and at a lower price.

Prevention better than Cure. For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended, DR. HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills,
WHICH have been attended with a degree of success highly grateful to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West-Indies, and the southern parts of the United States particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, &c. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances. Facts of this conclusive nature speak more in favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed as an infallible cure, but the inventor has every possible reason, which can result from extensive experience for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every two weeks during the prevalence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an infallible preventative; and further, that in the earlier stages of those diseases, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfectly mild and may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile and prevent its morbid secretions; to restore and amend the appetite; to produce a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds which are often of fatal consequence. A dose never fails to remove a cold if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness, sickness of the stomach and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate. They have been found remarkably efficacious in preventing and curing most disorders attendant on long voyages, and should be procured and carefully preserved for use by every seaman. DR. HAHN'S Genuine Eye-water. A certain and safe remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness, or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching, and films in the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues when nearly deprived of sight. Tooth-ache Drops. The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. The Anodyne Elixir. For the cure of every kind of head-ache, and for pains in the face and neck. Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. This medicine has never failed, in many thousand cases not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than one bottle, and numbers not halt a bottle. The money will be returned if the cure is not performed. SOLD BY WM. Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17, South Second Street, And no where else, in Philadelphia. Where also may be had, Dr. Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, his Sovereign Elixir for coughs, &c.

PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 30.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. WAYNE.
SINCE I landed in America, I either have, or think I have, discovered certain local traits of character among the natives of such states as I have visited, which may not so obviously appear to persons to whom they are more familiar: Therefore, a few words, if you please, on the subject.
In New Jersey the appearance to be a cast of character, extending to the figure, the mien, and the dialect of the natives; sufficiently striking to arrest a stranger's attention. With persons long and lank, and features small and pinched (the nose thin and aquiline, a small head and pointed chin) added to a straggling gait; they draw out their words and drag along their persons, as if each were weary of the other. Almost every sentence they utter is tagged at one, or each end, with a selection from those significant words, Gues , Suspect , Expect , Reckon . Take the following
Dialogue between two natives of N. Jersey
Q. It's one o'clock, I GUESS? A. I EXP-CT it is. Q. You are from Woodbury, I SUS-PECT? A. I GUESS I am. Q. I GUESS you are going to Mar-ket, then? A. Why-I RECKON so. Q. How do you EXPECT Truck will go to day? A. Considerab'e cheap, I GUESS. Q. Will Cheese sell well, you GUESS? A. I SUSPECT it will. There's not much at market. I RECKON.
And thus, Mr. Editor, those conjurors never fail to suspect and guess, expect and reckon, to a little, concerning even the most obvious truths.
N. B. The words imag-ne , suppos-e , believe , think , conceive (except in one sense) conjecture , apprehend —with numerous others of similar import, form no part of the New-Jersey Dictionary: nor, indeed, can they be found in any Lexicon to the eastward, saving, perchance, New-York; but how long they may be countenanced there, it is not for me to divine—me, a mere observer of things as they exist under my eye. Yet, on the other hand, it must be confessed, that their language is enriched with numerous other words of prompt and sometimes extensive significance; such as illy [for ill] lay [lie] lot [late] set [sit] swap [to exchange or barter]. Then, Mr. Editor, there is that all-devouring substantive, verb, or whatever else you may please to call it, and which must be pronounced with the genuine nasal twang.—I mean notions ; a word so rich in itself and of such unlimited import, that I feel myself incompetent to detail all its powers. It is devotedly to be wished, that that great language-making luminary, Noah Webster, Junr. Esquire, may gratify the American public with a learned dissertation upon the beauties and powers of this incomparable word. Such a work would assuredly be considered as a most valuable addition to the learned Lexicon he has now on the stocks, and which, I guess, will be entitled (and justly too) A Dictionary of the American Language .
A word, now, to Pennsylvanians, served up à la mode de conversation between two City Belles.
1st Belle. Have you seen Mr. Z. to-day? 2d Belle. No, my dear—but I saw him yesterday. He is shortly to be married. 1st B. Married?—Is it possible!—and to whom, pray? 2d B. To Miss Y. 1st B. Is it possible! To Miss Y. you say—and who told you so? 2d B. Oh, my dear, I have it from unquestionable authority;—for— 1st B. Is it possible! 2d B. For, as I was a saying, I have it from Miss A. who had it from Miss B. who had it from old Mrs. C. and she had it from Nurse D. who, you know, could not possibly be mistaken. 1st B. Then it must be true. And is it possible!
Now, reader, let me intreat thee not to imagine there was any the most distant intention in our fair Querist, to doubt the veracity of her dear loquacious friend; or that either intended to injure,—even—by innuendo,—their equally dear acquaintances, Mr. Z. and Miss Y.—No such thing.—'Is it possible!' whether pronounced with a note of admiration, or of interrogation, are mere words of course, harmless as the fucking babe, and ought to be considered, deemed and taken, to all intents and purposes, as if the same had never been conceived, uttered or expressed, at all.
In the prosecution of my travels you will probably hear again from
VIATOR. Cape Look-out, July 1800.
London, May 31.
The French prisoners confined in Portchester Castle, near Portsmouth, found means to get some old iron hoops into the prison, which they made into knives, sharpened on each side, and tied two pieces of wood at the end, to form a handle; but fortunately it was discovered on the evening before the night on which they were to have murdered the centinel, and on examining the prison there were about forty of these knives found among them.
At a numerous and respectable Meeting of the Friends to Government, in the City of Philadelphia, held pursuant to public notice on Tuesday the 29th inst. at Dutton's tavern, for the purpose of nominating candidates to fill the several elective Offices which will become vacant at the ensuing election.

BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
SALEM, (Mass.) July 24. The widow Newhall yesterday left this town for Boston, in order to procure the release of her son from the merciless fangs and cruel tyranny of a British ship of war, the St. Albans—where he has been confined a number of years, and where he has been, we learn, most cruelly and repeatedly beaten for endeavouring to make his escape.
The brigantine Hannah, H White, of this port, released at Halifax, has sailed for Malaga from thence. The whole expense of detention, loading in, trial, &c. &c. the owner was indemnified for—out of his own pocket! Salem R.g.
NEW-YORK, July 29. By the ship Charleston, we have received papers to the 16th inst. but they contain nothing of moment.
Deficient resources, however, seem after all to press upon the First Consul, still heavier than superior numbers. Should the Great Buonaparte, in his match of Faro, be beaten by the Bank, it will must be allowed that, as a Soldier of Fortune, he saw a winning game to play, "and plac'd his all upon a desperate chance." The Devil, who always favours young beginners, gave him at first a sine ; and should he throw deuce-ace at last, it will but be the lot of many a dashing predecessor.
It is a curious fact that the insect called the rose bug, which used formerly to be found on rose bushes only, has within a few years multiplied and spread, so as to injure many of our early fruits, particularly cherries. They appear in myriads, eating cherries, and young apples and peaches, till about the first of July, when they all disappear. This fact has been the subject of remark in many states, and is worthy the notice of the Naturalist.
BALTIMORE, July 28. A middle aged man, yesterday evening in Howards Woods suddenly fell down and expired in a few minutes. He complained of a giddiness in his head, but assigned no cause; was lately from New-Orleans, and by the only person present who had any knowledge of him was called Andrew; his surname he did not know. He was dressed in common clothes, and appeared like a labourer.
A young man of the name of Maloy, early on yesterday morning, accidentally fell from the attic story window of a house in Water Street, and instantly expired—He belonged to capt. Griffin's company. 27th regiment militia, and was last evening buried with military honours.
Yesterday two men, who are suspected to
belong to the party that recently robbed the custom-house stores in this city, were bro't from Philadelphia, and committed to jail.
RALEIGH, (N. C.) July 22. On Friday last, eleven of the principal men belonging to the Catawba nation of Indians arrived in this city, on a visit to the governor. His Excellency furnished them with a separate building, and provisions to subsist on during their stay. They left this on Sunday for Newbern. They are good looking men, and appear to be well disposed. The friendly dispositions of this nation, we trust, will be remembered by the people of North Carolina wherever they may travel.
By a gentleman direct from Norfolk, we are told that the Yellow Fever is raging with considerable violence at that place—and that as many as thirteen persons had died in one day. The last Norfolk papers make no mention of it.
WEST-INDIES.
KINGSTON, (Jam) June 20. Arrived, schr. Bilboa, Norman, Baltimore, in 29 days.
Fourteen or fifteen captains and officers taken lately in the pickaroon cruizing round the coasts of this island, have been sent home in his Majesty's ship S-lebay, to be exchanged, in preference to exchanging them here; they were persons who were intimately acquainted with every bay, &c. on our coasts, and who had been brought in here several times; immediately on their being exchanged, they again infested our trade, which being hinted to Admiral Parker, he judiciously gave orders for their transportation to England.
A foreign vessel from St. Thomas's arrived yesterday, with the following comedian passengers:—Mr. Spenicerta and Lady, Mr. Demarke, Mr. Larencecord and Lady, Mr. Caranano, Mr. Silver and Lady, and Capt. Vardett.

About half past one o'clock on Sunday morning, a most daring robbery was committed at the house of Mr. William Brown, in Matthew's lane near the Parish House, by two white men armed with pistols and cutlasses. On hearing some persons attempting to open his trunk, Mr. Brown jumped up, and on asking, "Who's there," one of the villains put a pistol to his breast, demanded his money, and desired him to remain quiet.—His wife making some noise, was struck at with a cutlass, which fortunately missed her, and while both were kept in fear of their lives, the other villain broke open Mr. Brown's trunks and carried away him and Mrs. Brown's linen, a silver watch, a new coat, with several other articles, and near thirty pounds in cash. The neighbours were alarmed as soon as possible, and went in search of them but without success.
ST. CHRISTOPHER'S, July 17.
INTERESTING DECISION To the Commanders of his Majesty's ships, and to the Owners of Privateers duly commissioned.
At a court of Vice Admiralty, in the Island of Nevis, on the 21st of February, 1800, came on the cause of the Salem, an American vessel, captured by a French privateer, and which remained in the custody of the enemy for eleven days; but before she could reach Guadalupe, was seized and captured by the Diana privateer and brought into the port of Nevis for adjudication.
The Master of the Salem, with Agent for former Owners, claimed, offering one third of the value of the vessels and cargo as salvage to the owners of the Diana.—The Captors claimed the whole: the Salem having been in possession of the enemy eleven days, which made the vessel and cargo the actual property of the enemy.
The advocate for the Captors made use of strong though short arguments, declaring, "that there was no Law of Nations, treaty, or British act of Parliament existing, that could afford a show of solid foundation for any claim being interposed.—That from the moment of her capture, she had become French property; and the claimants well knew that had the vessel reached Guadalupe they must have given up every pretension to the property in question.—That fortunately, the Diana had fallen in with this quandam vessel, and retook it from the enemy."
The arguments adduced by the Claimants Advocate, were founded on the precedents of some Courts of Admiralty in the Islands, where American laws and regulations respecting re-captures made by their commissioned ships of war were adopted, and advanced to be a guide to a British Court of Admiralty, for political reasons.
The court gave judgment that the captors were entitled to the whole property.—An appeal was prayed for touching two thirds of the vessel and cargo, which was granted. The proper officer of the court was then directed by the judge to sell the Salem, her tackle, apparel, and furniture, and the goods, wares, and merchandise therein laden, and to pay one third of their value to the captors, agreeably to the salvage offered by the American agent, and the remaining two thirds to be secured pending the appeal.
Messrs. HODGKINSON and BARRETT, Respectfully acquaint the Ladies and Gentlemen of Philadelphia, that the Old Theatre, in Southwark, will be opened For Two Nights only, On THURSDAY Evening, July 31st, 1800, with a species of entertainment, Moral, Instructional, and Amusing, consisting of Recitation, Music, Song, &c. and properly nominated the Feast of Reason AND The Flow of Soul.

To expatiate on the propriety of an Entertainment, where the Follies of Life are exposed in laughable & striking colours, & the moral inferences drawn from such display, is presumed, would be needless. It is well known that the ancients held this mode of instructive amusement in the highest degree of estimation; nor has it been less esteemed by the most polished nations among the moderns. To "Catch the living manners as they rise," has ever been held not only allowable but meritorious; and the opinion given by one of the most enlightened of the sons of men, of the original compiler, of the Lecture now offered to the public, "That his merit, genius, and satirical observations, marked him as a Public Censor; and that his judicious display of folly and vice, entitled him not only to public encouragement, but public thanks." As the highly flattered attempts of the then living author, must be considered as the highest eulogium to his manes; so it is hoped the same will to please and entertain in the present case, will be viewed at least with candour.
Part 1st. 1. Quack Doctor. 2. Coat of Arms. 3. Misfortune. 4. Simple Block. 5. Dissertation on Law, with a Cafe in Point. 6. Pretty Fellow. 7. Nobody's Head. 8. Dissertation on Nothing. 9. Nobody's, Somebody's, or any Body's Coat of Arms. 10. Dissertation on Architecture, Painting, Poetry, Astronomy and Music. 11. Illustration of Law, Bullum versus Boatum.
Part 2d. 1. Riding Hood. 2. Lady of Fashion. 3. Fishwoman. 4. Contrail. 5. Crying Philosophers. 6. Laughing do. 7. Cleopatra. 8. Dissertation how Ladies will or may possess the beauties of Venus. 9. French Night Cap. 10. Old Maid. 11. Old Batchelor. 12. Browze Head. 13. Flattery. 14. Honesty.
Part 3d. 1. A London Buck. 2. Lady of Ton. 3. American Sailor. 4. Connoisseur. 5. Turtle-eating Alderman. 6. Swindler. 7. Funeral of ditto. 8. Monument of ditto. 9. The Treatment of a Soldier in the year 45.—Story of the Year 45. 10. Yorick by Shakespeare, and Tristram Shandy. 11. Methodist Preacher. 12. Conclusion.
Between the different heads, Mr. Hodgkinson will sing some of Dibdin's New and most Popular SONGS, never yet heard in America, with Recitation, &c. to be arranged in the following order.
Part 2d. After the Head of the QUACK DOCTOR, The celebrated Song of the NEW QUACK, Or the man that cures every disorder, with cupping, drenching, couching, clyster, puking, bleeding, sweating, blister, diet, bolus, dose or pill. After the dissertation on law with a cafe in point, the Song of TRUE GLORY, With an introduction, and various opinions, of what True Glory is. After the illustration of BULLUM versus BOATUM;—Part 1st., will finish with the Song of the
Country Club; OR THE QUIZZICAL SOCIETY.
Part 2d. After the LAUGHING PHILOSOPHER, Mr. Hodgkinson will sing the much celebrated Laughing Song, "NOW'S THE TIME FOR MIRTH AND GLEE;" and conclude Part the 2d with
SHELTYS TRAVELS, AND Voyage to America: Leaves the Isle of Col—arrives in London—meets O'Keefe, and lives by Story-telling—Banishment—arrival in America—visits the State-House, Museum, Theatre, &c. Conclusion and Song of
HERE'S A NICE NEW BOW WOW, The Staunch Dog—the Sly Dog—the Hearty Dog—the Sulky Dog—the Cheating Dog—the Catching Dog, and many other Dogs, in the character of
A COMICAL DUG.
PART 3d. After the Head of the LONDON BUCK, Mr. Hodgkinson will sing the Frolicksome Fellow, After the Turtle-eating Alderman, the much admired Song of MOUNSEER NONG TONG PAW, or John Bull's Trip to France. The Evening's Entertainment to finish with A Monody, SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF GENERAL WASHINGTON, And concluding Song & Chorus. Messrs. BARRETT & HODGKINSON, beg leave to assure the public, that every care has been taken to select an entertainment worthy their patronage, and to make the Theatre commodious and cool as possible. * * * Places for the Boxes, to be had at Mr. North's, any time from Wednesday 10 o'clock A. M. Tickets to be had at Thomas & William Bradford's Book-Store, No. 8, fourth Front-street. * * * Box 1 Dollar—Pit 75 cents—Gallery 50 cents.

TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
We have given to "VIATOR" a place in the first rank of Correspondents. We hope that we shall have frequent opportunities of inserting the essays of a sensible man and correct writer, whom we delight to honor. We exult that he employs his excellent archery against that naught, and impure and vulgar diction, which has no authority in the British Classics , and which a weak and presumptuous Dictionary maker is about to perpetuate in a volume, whose title ought to be a "Record of the blunders, and a monument of the vulgarity of American life, and of the disgrace of the country."
IMPORTANT.
A letter from Captain Richard Gardner, of the ship Hazard of Salem, Mass. dated Teneriffe, May 27, informs: That he has seen and conversed with the captain of a French national brig, which had been chased in there, direct from Brest, bound to the Isle of France, who informed, that Peace had been concluded between France and America; that the American flag was flying at Brest; that his orders were pari passu not to interrupt unarmed neutrals, i. e. vessels without Commissions, and positive, not to molest any American ship whatever; and that Prize vessels had been purchased up by the Americans at the different ports in France, in order, it was supposed, to come home in. This intelligence the French Captain certified in the presence of the new French Consul (who Capt. Gardner speaks of in respectable terms) to be the truth; and the Consul affixed the Seal of the Republic to the Declaration, and gave it Capt. Gardner. The brig left Brest about the last of April or the first of May, and was bound to the Isle of France with new Commissioners and Dispatches from the First Consul, which the Commissioners assured Captain G. (on their honor) contained Declarations of Peace and good will toward the American flag. Captain Gardner adds—I am really inclined to think it is Peace.

He was much applauded.

A memorial has been presented by the merchants and Planters of the British West-Indies, to the Chancellor of the Exchequer complaining of the measure which withholds, upon the re-export of sugar, part of the duty levied upon its import into the Kingdoms; at a time too, when that duty was accumulated to a degree which, a few years ago would not have been thought credible. They deprecate the impending danger of a reduction of the drawbacks on sugar, whenever its average price shall for a short period have exceeded 70 shillings per cwt. duty included, at the British market; an average price not hereby secured to the colonist, but stated as a maximum and which maximum is yet a price inadequate, under all the contingent charges of war, to support the plantations.
They farther state the unequal, and to them injurious, operation of the different modes in which the duty on sugar imported from the West Indies, and on that from the East-Indies is respectively levied; being calculated, in the latter case, on the actual value at market; in the former case, on the quantity, regardless of quality and value.
They conclude by relying on his Majesty's minister to alleviate, as far as possible the weight of that high duty, by recommending to Parliament a continuance of the bonding system, and also a reduction of the duty on such sugar, as may, for a limited time, be consumed in the distilleries; and that they will also, for a limited time, authorize the free use of sugar in the breweries; and suggest, as the only certain means of securing to them, at all times that protecting duty, to which as colonists they are entitled, that an uniform mode of levying the respective duties, either upon value or open quantity, shall be adopted.
That contemplating the return of peace and the low prices that must be consequent thereon, they cannot but view with the most serious alarm a disproportion which in that case will operate permanently against them, and prove entirely subversive of that protection and preference at the home market which Great-Britain has pledged to her colonies.
ANECDOES OF MR. JOHN HOWARD.
When the benevolent Howard visited the Imperial Dominions, he had an interview with the Emperor Joseph the second. In the course of their conversation, the Englishman expatiated largely on the comfortless and pernicious state of the Austrian and Hungarian prisons, and the shocking situation of the prisoners. The Emperor who valued himself on a code of penal laws, more efficacious, and less sanguinary, than the English, was nettled, and replied, "I don't use them worse than you do in England, where you hang them up by dozens at a time." "Very true" replied Howard, "but permit me to assure your Majesty, that I would rather be hanged in England, than live in your German Dungeons." He soon took leave: "In truth," said his Majesty, "this little Englishman is no flatterer."
Paris. May 31.
We hear from Nantes, that one of the powder magazines of the castle has blown up, and occasioned so great an explosion that several of the neighbouring houses were thrown down, and a four pounder was driven as far as the roof of the house of the ci-devant Carmelites. Fortunately the other magazines were not touched.—The loss occasioned by this explosion is incalculable. Many people perished or were wounded.
THEATRICAL.
Judicious Players, in possession of Genius, Taste, and Execution, have in every age received the applause of the multitude, and enjoyed the patronage and approbation of wise and discerning men. Roscius was praised by CICERO, and to Garrick Johnson was a friend, and BURE a patron. Even in the history of our American and Infant Stage, some names may be found, which the lovers of the mimic scene will love to repeat, and some performers, whose acting will always be admired. Among this class are Messrs. BARRETT and HODKINSON, who, in the opinion of the best critics, are at the head of their profession. We hope that to-morrow evening, the united powers of Wit, Humour, Sentiment, and Song, will attract a liberal audience, and that Genius and Merit will meet a reward.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. WAYNE,
THE piece handed you by young T. M'Kean, in defence of his father, for setting a convicted thief in the sacred seats of Justice, is so truly contemptible in manner and matter, that it is but lost labor to make a serious reply to it; yet, to let it pass without observation, might seem to some, to be yielding to its force. This ridiculous jargon to prove that a man convicted of robbing a store may nevertheless be a "respectable citizen" and worthy to sit in judgment over the honest citizens of Pennsylvania, begins with some confused nonsense about A. B. C. and D. &c. about as much to the purpose as the intrigues of X. Y. and Z.
Let us attend to such parts of this performance, in which the writer affects an argument. It is first very seriously objected that the writer in the Lancaster paper against the Governor and his friend Stever, is in fact no Republican, but a mere pretender to that honour: This indeed may hurt his credit and influence with your staunch Jacobin Republicans, but cannot destroy the invincible evidence of an unalterable record, which declares to us, and will continue to declare to all posterity, that Stever was convicted of Larceny, by the verdict of twelve of his peers, legally and impartially summoned to pass between him and his country, and delivering their verdict under the solemn impressions of an oath, pledging them to their country and to their God for a true verdict, according to their evidence.
It is stated that "Judge Tates asserts" in a petition to the Executive Council, that the alibi of Stever was proved by three witnesses. Let it first be recollected that Judge Yates was no Judge then, and acted not as a Judge, but as a Lawyer, engaged, I suppose, to render every service in his power to his client, for which, I presume, this respected citizen and his very respectable friends amply rewarded him. Mr. Yates, therefore, drawing a petition as an Attorney, to obtain mercy for his guilty client, cannot be considered as pledging his veracity to the contents of this petition, which is to be signed by the client and not by him. But does this petition bring forward any thing new in favor of Stever? Certainly not. It merely states certain evidence, which was heard, and I dare say, fully urged at his trial. If the proof of this pretended alibi had been discovered after the trial, it might indeed furnish an argument favorable to the convict. But as it was fully and fairly heard from the mouths of the witnesses themselves, by the court and jury, it must be presumed it was duly considered and justly compared with the other testimony, and satisfactorily disproved by that testimony; or the man would have been acquitted; otherwise that Jury is perjured, which is the only manner in which Stever can be purified. If this alibi was so clearly proved, and the verdict unjustly given against it, why did not Mr. Yates, whose professional zeal and talents are well known, move the Court for a new Trial, which under such circumstances could not have been denied. This was the true way to wipe away the stain of the conviction, whereas a Pardon but prevents the punishment without cleansing the criminal. His back escapes but his name is lost—Infamy covers his character, although his carcass is spared from the lash.
A third justification of Stever is that he received a pardon on the petition of three or four hundred Petitioners—And is this a proof of innocence in Pennsylvania? Examine the records of the gaol, and see if more than one third of all the convicted rogues, thieves, murderers and traitors, do not, in some stage of their punishment, receive pardons, and many of them on more numerous petitions than Mr. Stever's books of—Petitions may be obtained for any thing, however absurd or pernicious.—See the gangs of convicted Democrats, which the disinterested humanity of his present Excellency has let loose upon society, to exercise their democratic vocations, and say, are they therefore innocent, respectable and fit for Justices.—The shameful exercise of the pardoning power has actually become one of the heaviest grievances the state labours under, and threatens a total contempt of the laws and the ruin of all honesty. The writer of M'Kean's defence pretends that eleven of the jury were in favour of Stever, and but one against him. Idle stories of the deliberations of Juries are frequently propagated, but seldom correct. At this distance of time, a story so grossly improbable, and so disgraceful to the Jury should not be countenanced, without direct proof. On their oaths, those twelve men, in the open court of their country, and in the awful presence of their God, have declared Stever guilty of the larceny of which he was indicted; and so he remains and so he must and will remain, should a thousand Republican Governors give him a thousand offices, and ten thousand humble defenders of every outrage of those Governors, assert his innocence. Let the names and reputation then of this Stever and his patron M'Kean, be hereafter forever blended together.
I did not furnish you with the statement of the conviction, and never heard of it until it was published; but the evasion of the charge is so paltry and palpable, that I have hastily sketched these remarks to expose it.

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 project a good deal. She has a full head of woolly hair—a very cross forbidding countenance, is very impatient, 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 cloaths, and gowns of white mullin, 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 fat nose, an oval flat face, her under jaw projecting a little, and good teeth. She is very artful and impu- dent, has a great fluency of speech, uses good lan- guage, 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 woolly. She wore a pink grounded printed cotton with a small black figure, with new fore parts. Also ran away, on Wednesday the 11th inst. one, 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 shoul- ders, 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 bad teeth, is left handed, and exceedingly awkward—he has a full head of woolly hair, which he plait and dresses 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 impatient. Dick is a native of South-Carolina, and speaks bad English—he seduced and carried away with him Amelia, who he called his wife. Amelia is a very complete, well instructed la- dies maid, much below the common stature and of a small make—her complexion is that of a dark mulatto or mestizo, nearly resembling that of the Lofcarsof 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 nape 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, fashion- ably made—she has for more than two years past been liable to fits, which at times give her a wild- ness 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 larch, has a taste for military and mantua-mak- ing; and as she is very ingenious, can turn her hand to anything 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 ten- derness 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.
