CAUTION.
WHEREAS a combination of men in tbis
county havO undertaken to enrich th«m
fdves.by fabricating titles to fundr/ valuable trafll
of land, the property of gentlemen living in New
York, Philadelphia, London and Varis, for which
trafts of Islfd large funis of money have been paid
I to those fraudulent men, by innocent purthafers •
It is therefore jull that public information should
be given, to the end, that the injured may feikro
- dress while the nsen have property, and arc to Tie
found. Those who have been difcovrred are Tru
man Harrifon, Joseph Wittomb, said now to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several others who go under fictitious names. It is
_ supposed that the lands offered fcr sale on those fa
bricated titles, are at lealt worth fifty thousand
' dollars. Such as we haveadtual knowledge of are
as follows : Lots No. XI and u, Otfego patent,
thousand acres each, the aflual property of William
Dfillwyn, how of London ; lots No. 58 and 64,
fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
" Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and James Averill
and others, ot tbis State. There is some grounds
d to suppose that the lands of Richard Welis and
'• Charles'Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
i management. —The Printers will do well to give
" thi> a place in their papers, as well to caution l!ie
II public against purchasing tliofe lands, i\3alfotode
" prive those men in future from impofiQg on indivi

ably so the rules and orders which the board may
think proper to prescribe.
And a 1 it will be for the uitereft of all concerned,
that the several claims be so dated, and support
ed, as to prevent the delay which would arise from
j the neceflity of obtaining further information, or ad
; ditional material!,from periods residing at a distance,
the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (for. the
direction chiefly of ihofc, who, not having employ
ed particular agents, may leave the prosecution of
their claims to his charge and management) that all
such cairns ought in particular to set forth—
-1 ft. The proper description and fitnation of the

3d. When, in what manner, and to what extent,
the creditor or claimant wss prevented or impeded,
by the provision, operation or defett of law, the
deciiionsand praAice of courrs, or leftraintof exe

queftior)*
4th. The loss and damage incurred or fyftained,
in confequer.ee of such impediments, whether the
fame may have arisen from the infolveney, change of
situation, or death of the debtor, the loss of legal
remedy from lapse of time, or othercaufes impairing
the value and security of the debt, which would not
have so operated if such impedimenta had notcxided.
And sth. The particular grounds and rcafons on
which t,he claimant maintains, in the terms of the
treaty, that " by the ordinary course ot judicial pro

have and receive full and adequate com pen fa tion" lor
the losses and damages so fultaiucd.
The general agent thinks it his duty further to fug
ged that the several claims to be accompanied
and iupported by the affidavits of the claimants duly
I'worn and regularly attested, both as to the exigence
of the debts claimed, and such other circumfhnces
as m*y be within their own knowledge refpefttVely,
And wherever the claimants in dating the nature ot

Biggins' Specific
FOR THB
PREVENTION AND CURE OF THB
YELLOW FEVER.
EVER since this difcafe made fijc!) ravages in this'
i city and New-York, the author lias turned his
ttention to its caufei and cure.—The result of his
enquiries has convinced him that ?he reason why so
few persons recover from its attacks, are (rum its
not being well underllood, and the confcquent
wrong method taken to cure it. He is persuaded
that theexceffive bleedigr.s and mercurial reatment
of the Faculty is highly injurious, and that the on- t
ly rational mode of treatment is by theufe of proper
acids. Convinced of this he offers his Specific as a
certain remedy, if ufei according to the dirtilions.
