CAUtION.
WHEREAS 3 combination of men irf this
coonty have undertaken to enrich th«m
felvcs,by fabricating titles to fundr/ valuable tra£s
rff land, the property of gentlemen living in New
York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which
trads of knd large sums of money have been paid
to those fraudulent men, by innocent purihafers •
It is therefore just th it public information (hould
be given, to the end, that the injurei) may feck re
dress while the men have property, and are to be
found. Those who have been discovered are Tru
man Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re.
fide in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several other.' who go under fi&itious names. It is
supposed that the lauds offered fcr sale on those fa
bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand
dollars. Such as we have aflual knowledge of are
as follows •• Lou No. II and 12, Otfcgo patent,
thousand acres each, the aclual property of William
Dellwyn, bow of London ; lots No. 58 and 64.
fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and aines Avenll
and others, ot this State. There is some grounds
to suppose that the lands of Richard Well* and
Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
management.^—The. Printers will do well to give
this a place in •iheir papers, as well totaution the
public against pnrchafing those in* is, as also to de
prive those men in future from hfipnftljg on indivP
duafa, which their education and addrcts have en
abled them to do Iwretofore. Witcomb has been
a (hopkeeper of foinenore in this country.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
of view the wickkdnel's of those men, which wh<n
the public have percfed, will induce them to ex
culc the interference of "Wm. COOPER.

potentiary of his Britannic Majesty, General a gent
larsflUUng Briufh creditors, and such particular a
gents as they may specially authorize, in pro/etuting
their claims before the c«mniiflioners for carrying in
to effeft the Gxth article ot the Treaty of Amity, Com
merce and Navigation between his Britbnnich.ajeJiy ami
the United States of America, hereby gives notice that
he has opened his office at his house the south call
corner of Chefnut and fifth ftreett, Philadelphia,
where he is ready to receive all claims or inQru£lions
for claims with the voucheis aud documents thereof,
lor the purpose of bringing forwafd the fame agree
ably so the rules and orders which the board may
think proper to prescribe.
Ar>d as it will be for the interest of all concerned,
that the fever*! claims be lo dated, and fuppoit
<d, as to prevent the delay which would arise from
; the neceiTity of obtaining further information, or ad
ditional materials,from perio»a rcfiding at a dillance,
the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (lor the
direction chiefly of those, who, not having employ
ed particular agents, may leave the prosecution of
their claims to his charge and management) that all
such c)ain>s ought in particularto set forth—
ift. The pioper description and fuoation of the
creditor or claimant, end original debtor ( rffpeft
lvely.
ad. The date and nature of the original contrast or
debt.
3d. When, in what manner, and to what extent,
the creditor or claimant w«s prevented or impeded,
by the proviGon, operation or deleft of law, the
drcifion»and of courts, or restraint of exe
cution, from recovering payment ot the debt in
queftiorK
4th The loss and damage incurred or fuflained,
in coniequence of such impediments, whether the
lame may have arisen from the ijtfolvtoey* change of
(ituation, or death of the debtor, the loss of legal
remedy from lapie of time, or othei causes impairing
the value and fetunty of the debt, which would not
havefo operated if such impediments had notexiiied.
And 51b The paitieular grounds and reasons on
which the claimant maintains, in the terms of the
treaty,, that 44 by the ordinary course of judicial pro
ings, the creditor cannot now obtain and aftually
have and receive full and adequate cosnpenlation" lor
the lodes *hd damages so fullaiued.
The general agent thinks it his duty further to sug
gest that the several claims ought to be accompanied
and supported by the affidavits of the claimants duly
sworn and regularly attested, both as to the extftence
of the debts claimed, and such other circum fiances
as may be within their own knowledge respectively.
And wherever the claimants in dating the nature of
their evidence (which must in every instance be the
best of which the ca<e is capable) have occasion to
refer to the tefliraony of witrietTcs, it will be propci
to apprise the gene/al agent of the names and placed

PREVENTION AND CURE OF THE
YELLOW FEf'EJt.'
EVFR (ince this disease made such ravages in this
1 city and New-York, the author has turned his
attention to its causes and cure.—The relult of his
enquiries has convinced him that the rcafon why so
few persons recover from its attacks, are {rem it*
not being well understood, and the confcquent
wrong-method taken to cure it. He is persuaded
that the exceflivc bleedigr.s and mercurial reatment
of the Faculty is highly injurious, and that the on
ly rational mode of treatment is by theufe of proper
acids. Convinced of this he offers his Specific as a
rertain remedy, if used according to the directions.
