Blair M'Clenacban anV, Patrick Maore, of the city of merchants, trading under the firm of Blair M'Glcnacban and P. Moore, and from Blair M'ClenacJjan in his separate capacity ; to which, by the laws of the land, all the joint as well as separate property of the said Gentle -1(j men, is, and ought to bei liable. And whereas it is clearly and fcuisfa&orilv afeertained, that mr. as Blair M'Clenacban, of the said firm, has conveyed c- away to mr. John H. linjlon, his foti-in-law, to his daughter, miss M'Clenacban, and to his son, George g r M'Clenacban, several large and valuablt real estates, (" as well as ooufiderable personal property, in the city ' s and county of Philadelphia, in the oounty of Lancaf * ter, in the county of New-Caftie on Delaware, and , e elsewhere, with a view, as it is apprehended, to de ,d feat the Creditors in the recovery of their just debts.— rs This is, therefore, to forewarn all persons whomlli ig ever, against the purchase from the fiid grantees, or a! either ©f them, of any portion of the said veal orper fonal property, as the molt vigorous measures will without delay be taken Fo render the fame liable to the jirft demands of the Creditors.

I- TJ3E caution introduced into the public prints, 18 warning all perfonr. against purclialing from the ;c grantees of Blair M'Clenachan, any portion of the rt large, resl and petfonal estates he conveyed away to his fon-in law and to his children was the result of a deliberation had upeti the fubjeft by a general and numerous meeting of the creditors as well of Blair _ M'Clenachan and P. Moore as of Blair M'Clenn chan individually. It was no more than an execu tion of that trust confidnd in the fubferibers by , those creditors: a step which it would hava besn a ta breach of duty and honor in them to have omitted. k- The very statement of the fait therefore must dif ie pel the imputation that it was either " precipitaw Lo or vindiAivc." It originated in a desire to feoure r, the property of the debtor as a fund for the pay e- ment of his just debts. It was fan&foned by the in ndviae of council as a measure necejfary to the fafety in of the creditors. If the advertisement has been al injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury to his own (injuflihable conduit, not to the fub feribers who have merely publifhsd the truth in j terras as mild as the fa£t would admit, and who 1. mean to investigate in a high court of justice the ?- validity of those purchases of which Mr. M'Cle naehan so confidently speaks. The fubferibers therefore are bound by a sense of duty to the creditors in general to repeat their caution against purchasing of those grantees or either of them, and to extend the terms of it to a purchase from atjy other persons (if such there be) cr to whom Mr. M'Clenachan may have made firailar • conveyances. >° (Signed) T.
