ON BILLS OF EXCH ANGE,
AND
PROMISORY NOTES.
DANIEL foHNSoN is Printing tb4
a5ovs BY Ja5eripfion,

CONSIDERING the great circu-
lation of Bills of Exchange and Promilory
notes, the lois 10 which the parties are iubject,
II they neglect to obferve the rules affecting
rhele fecuritios, together with the frequency of
litigation refpecting them, there Is no branch
of the Law 70 important TO the Merchant, as
well as 10 the Lawyer, as that relating to
thefe inftruments. An intimate Acquaintance
with the commercial law in this reipect, IS
peculiarly efential TO the trader, who roo fire.
queutly for ofbeing ia GENTLY apprized
Of the rules affecting bills and notes, looies the
benefit Of the fecurity ia his hands.
And Il Is ALTO Of the greateit importance to
every profciional man, becaufe mo:e ready
and immediate advice is required from him in
regard to bills and notes, than almof any 9TH
-er point These considerations have induced
me to believe that this T-eatife; would be
very acceptable to men in bu6ueis and are
3uch as fhould induce very liberal Subfcrip-
elon.

with some others of considerable importance,
particularly that ola British military force

~" am sorry to say we have been Ell OF
misfortunes here--last night we received the
melancholy account OF the destruction of the
AJAX by ire--sne was burnt, and a coFsidera-
Bic part OF her crew were victims to the unre-.
clenting flames. The Nautilus sloop is also
lost, she was wrecked on a barren rock, and
many OF her crew were starved to death. The
AJAX, at the time of her misfortune, and thus
ended their Haiseries and their hives. Tie cap-
tain of The A AK IS saved, but the commander
ofthe Nautilus is lost.
" Ii is With sorrow add. that the Crafty
schooner, with d spatches of tie greatest mo-
ment and national consequence has also been
captured by the enemy /; and nothing can SO
ehectuaiIy dispel our disappoin, ed hopes as a
rencontre with the Frenshmen who are the
Sause Of all our anxicsles.
I" Sir john Duckworth has passed the OAR
danelles, and it is supposed that by this time
ne HAS got possession OF the Turkish Acct
The Turks fired at our ships In passing the
narrow streights, but our ships did not dsign
to return a single shot.
i !" Seven thousand of our troops went up
with the squadron, and are to be joined by a
body OF ten thousand Russians from Corfu
Thus you may easily guess how the Turks
are situated, opposed to SO formidable force.
Capt. Hallowell, of the Tigre, has sailed
also from Sicily, with 5000 troops, for the
Levant, under convoy Of COL Fraser. 1t is
supposed they are TO take possession Of Alex
