Moore, and from Blair M'Clenachan in his separate capacity i to which, by the laws of the land, all the joint as well as separate property of the said Gentle men, is, and ought to be, liable. And whereas it it clcarly and fatisfa«Slorily afccrtained, that mr. Blmr M'Clenachan, of the laid firm, has conveyed away to Mir. John H. Hujlon, his foil-in law, to hit daughter, mil's M'Clenachan, and to his son, George M'Clenachan, several large and valuable real (estates, as well as eoitfiderable personal property, in the city and county of Philadelphia, in ths county of Lancas ter, in the county of New-Castle on Delaware, and eifewhere, with a view, as it is apprehended, to.de" feat the Creditors in the recovery of their just debts.— This is, therefore, to forewarn all persons wliomfo» ever, againlt the purebafe from the said grantees, or either of them, of any portion of the said real or per foi.al proper y, as the most vigorous measures wfU without delay be taken te render the fame liable to the jufiL demands of the Creditors.

THE caution introduced into the public printj, warning all persons purcbaGng from the grantees ef Blair M'Cletoachan, any portion of the H large, teal and personal estates he conveyid away to n his fon-in law and to his children was the result of a deliberation hod upon thefubjeft by a general and _ numerous meeting of the creditors as well of Blair M'Clenachan and P Moore as of Blair M'Clena ehan individual!j. It was no more than an execu tion of that trull confided in the fubferibers by those creditors i a ftcp which it would have been a „ breach of duty and honor in them to have omitted, d The very ftatomeat of the fait therefore mull dif ■> pel the imputation that it was either " precipitate !* or vindictive." It originated in a desire to secure the property of the debtor as a fund for the pay [e ment of his just debts. It was fanftiened by the " advice ot council as a measure necejfary to the fafety of the creditors. If the advernlcment has been le injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury ,e to his ovrn unjufliliable corduft, not to the iub d fciibers who have merely publidied the truth in g terms as mild as the fact would admit, and who al mean to investigate in a high court of justice .the validity of those purcbafes of which Mr. M'Cle js naehan so confidently fpcaks. d The fubferibers therefore are bound by a sense of duty to the creditors in genetalto repeat their 1 ," eaution against ptirchafing df those grantee* or ,* either of them, and to extend the terms of it t» h at purchase from any other perfong (if such there be) 0 to whom Mr. M'Clenachan may have made similar at. _ tfonveyances.. io ( Signed) T.
