WHEREAS very large and heavy debts are justly
due and owing from mefirs. Blair M'Clenacban and
Patrick Maere, of the city of Philadelphia, merchants,
trading under the firm of Blair M'Glenachan and P.
Moore, and frotn Blair M'Cleiackan in bis separate
capacity j to which, by the laws of the land, all the
joint as well as fcparate property of the said Gentle
men, is, and ought to be, liable. And whereas
it is cleavly and fatisfa&orily afccrtaincd, that mr.
Blair M'denachxn, of the said firm, hjie conveyed
away to mr. John H. Hujlon, his fon-in law, to his
daughter, mills M'Clenacban, and to his son, George
M'Clenacban, several large and valuable real estates,
as well as coufiderable perfenal property, in the city
and county of Philadelphia, in the county of Lancas
ter, in the county of New-Cafll« on Delaware, and
slfewhere, 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 whemfo-\
ever, against the purchase from the said 'grantees, or
eithe* as them, of any portion of the said real or per
sonal property, as the most vigorous measures will
without delay be taken to render the fame liable to
i the just demands of the Creditors.

THE caution.introduced into the public prints,
warning all pcrfons agaiwft purchasing from the'
grantee«of Blair M'Clenachan, any portion of the
large, real and personal eftatcs he conveyed away to
his fofi-in law and to his children was the result of
a deliberation had upon the fubjeft by a general and
numerous meeting of the creditors as well of Blair
M'Clenachan and P, Moore as of Blair M'Clena
chan individually. It was no more than an execu
tion of that trust confided in the subscribers by
those creditors : a step which it would have been a
breach of duty and honor in them to have omitted.
The very statement of the fact therefore must dif
pcl the imputation that it was either " precipitate
or vindi&ive." It originated in a defile to secure
the property of the debtor as a fund for the pay
ment of his just debts. It was fantfioned by the
advice itt council as a measure ncctJJarj to the fafety
of the creditors. If the advettifement has been
injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owet that injury
to his own unjuftiliable conduct, not to the iub
fcrib«r» who have merely pubHfhed the truth itr
terms as mild as .(lie fatt would admit, and who
mean to invelligite in a high court eif justice the
validity of thole purchases of which Mr. M'Cle
nachan so confidently speaks.
The subscribers therefore are bound by a feiife
of duty to the creditors in general to repeat their
caution against ptirchafing of those grantees or
either of them, and to extend the terms of it to a
purchase from any other persons (if such there be)
to whom Mr. M'Clenachan may have made similar
conveyances.
