Blair M'Clenachan an'd Patrick Meore, of the city of Philadelphli, merchants, trading under the firm of Blair M'Glenacban and P. Moore, and from Blair M'Cler.acban in his separate capacity ; to which, by the laws of the all the joint a. well as Separate property of the laid Gen fle mc#, is, and ought to b«, liable. And whereas it « clearly and fatisfaiiiorily ascertained, that mi>. Blsir M'Clenachan,' of the said firm, has conveyed away to mr. 'John H. liuflon, h-is fon-i*-law, to his daughter, niifs M'Clenachan, and to his son, George M'Clenachan, several large and valuable real estates, as well as ooiilidcrable personal property, in the city and to*nty of Philadelphia, in the county of Laacaf ter, in the county of New-Castle on Delaware, and elsewhere, with a views as it is apprehended, to de feat/ the Creditors in the recovery of their just debts. — This is, therefore, to forewarn all persons whomfi."- ever, against the pttrchafe from the laid grantees, or either of them, of any portion of the said real or per sonal property, as the molt vigorous meifures will without delay be taken to render the fame liable to. the jurit demands of the Creditors.

THE caution introduced into the public prints, warning all persons against purchaQug from the granteesof Blair M'Clenachan, any portion of large, reel and pei fonal estates Ue conveyed a\yay to his fon-in law and to his children was the result of a deliberation had upon thefubjedl by a general and numerous meeting of the cieditors as well of Blair M'Clenachan and P. Moore at of Blair M'Clena chan individually. It was no more than an execu tion of that trust confidod in the fubferibert by those creditors ; a step which it would have been a breach of'duty and honor in them to have omitted. The very iiatcment of the fadt therefore must dis pel the imputation that it was either " precipitate or vindictive." It originated in a defir* to feourc the property of the debtor as a fund for the pay ment of" bis just debts. It was fan&ioned by the advice oi council as a measure ntttflary to the fafety of the creditors. If the advernCcment has been injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury to his own unjuftiliable conduct, not to the iub- 1 fcribers who have merely pufalifhad the truth is | terms as mild as the fad would admit, and who meaa to ixveftigate in a high court of juilice the validity of those purchases of which Mr. M'Clc naehan fa confidently speaks. The ftibfcribers therefore are bound by a of d«ty to the creditor* in general to repeat their emtion against puruhaliug of those grantees or either of them, and to extend the terms of it is a pnrchafe from any other persons (if such there be) to wham Mr. M'Clenachan may have made fimllar conveyances.
