We are credibly informed that doftor
David Hofack, of thii city, is at present
engaged in examining the evidences relative
to the introduction of yellow fewer into th is*

Yesterday arrived at Belvidere house, in
this city, his excellency Robert Liftoo,
the British ambassador, his lady andfuite.
His excellency Don De Friere, the Por
tuguese ambassador, and two sons—MM. E'-

• also arrived in this city.
BRIGADE ORDERS.
New-Tori, October 9, '97. !
His excellency the President of the U- |
nited States being hourly expeft'ed in town
from the eastern states, on his way to Phi
ladelphia, brig. gen. Hughes calls on the
companies of grenadiers and in
fantry of the different" battalions of the
brigade, and the companies of horse, to
afierable (at the iignal of the troop beating
through tht ftrecis) in Broad Way, oppo- ;
lite to Trinity church, in order to pay him
clue honors on his arrival. They will be
%j,fter the pommand of col. Morton, aflifted
by major BogerH-The adjutant will come
from the 3d regiment. 1
Col. Morton, on the arrival of the troops
of horse on thi ground, will instantly de
tsch them to gen. Hughes' quarters, at
Hunter's hotel, there to wait his orders. , .
CtfpU Ten Eyck, of the brigade artillery ( I
will, at the above mentioned signal, affcm- |
ble his company at the battery, and fire a :
. federal salute, on notice being given him
of the president's arrival, and do the other
lifual honours. Col. Morton will proceed
with the reft of the troops, as shall be com
municated to him by the brigadier general.
Those officers of the brigade, not de
tached on particular ferriee, who make
it convenient to assemble, mounted, will be
-very acceptable to the brigadier general, on
hi? route to meet the President.
By order,
John Morton, Maj. of Brig.
It having been determined by a large
iiurtiber of eirizens to give an entertainment,
at the city hotel, to the President of the
United States on his arrival in this city
(which is daily expected) the committee of
arrangement have fignified to the 1 major of
brigade, that it would be a desirable cir- ■
cumftance to be joined, in this attention to '
the chief magistrate of our nation, by the
officers of the brigade. For this purpose, '
therefore, fubfeription papers will be open- j
ed by the major of brigade, and left with .
the adjutants of the different regiments ;
and also at his offict, where the adjut'tots I
will be supplied with tickets of admission. i
■ N. B. Notice will be given of the day ,
fixed for the entertainment. r

ITie suggestion, contained in a morning tr.
print, and copipd, with comments of appro
bation in an evening one, that it would be nri
much to our credit if the money fubferibed
sot en entertsimnent in honor of the Presi
dent were collected and remited to Philadel- dn
phia for the fufFeriiig poor,—ls an indirect
ahemj)t of the party utterly unworthy of
being regarded. That the of that
jti|fortunate eity fhouM be affilled by the ; n(!
Citizens of New .Yorkj is a w fentiment that err
meets the approbation of us all—though un- ( ' le
happily active measures have yet been '"' r '
attempted to give it effeft. But,.the intcn
tion of the paragraph alluded to, consider- t he
ing the quarto- where it originated, or the tlie
channel through which it communicated, is al "'
not so much to countenance, as to difcour- co "
age a good aflion. If Cit. Monroe or any
other citizen were the objeft, would such art cou
attempt have, been made? No. But when pen
it is proposed to receive with refpeft the Pre- P ot
fident, —the? man who deserves well of his tlie
country, the Patriot, the tried Statesman, /
—the mod pitiful-artifices are attempted, to V ic.
divert the public attention, by bringing into ticu
sriew the affefling fcenesofa neighouring ci- ta ' c
ty. 'Tis well enough for a hals-starved de- atta .
mocrat to propose this—Poverty, though
willing, can do little—but if that little is
judiciously done, it is well—But tl\e otjeß j conl
of the proposal inferred to, is not what it '
profeffes to be—The Subscribers to-this en
tertairtment will generally be such as can ; uu ,
afford it—and afford something besides, for who
the fufferersat Philadelphia—and it is belie- us
ved, if the paragraphift would be at the tran
pain 9of soliciting donations from the gen- n
tlemen, or if it found* better, Citizens, he fl,e«
would meet with more success than at a he si
feaft in honor of an recalled ambassador, or
other chief of th? Fault finding Party.

'' Permit ns to addrefsiyou nt this awful
crisis, and lay before you a brief statement
Ir.n of the diftrefllrtg situation of our fuffertog
fellow-citizens. It in known to you that
on the firft day of September we accepted
of the appointment fr.,m the governor, to
aft as commissioners for the purpose of re
lieung the indigent, by donation and em
ployment, with the ftipuhtcd sum often
thousand dollars, granted by the Icgiflature ;
and we presume it was generally believed at
that time to be more- than fufficient, arising
from an expectation that the disease would
soon abate, and that our abftnt friends
would return and give employment to those
b-r, whose refouroes were cut off by their leav- 1
ing the city ; but, alas ! how are we dif- 1
appointed in our expeftation, for our «ity )
>me yet continues in the fame desolated gloomy t
der state, and consequently all means of employ- c
■r'u mentfor the industrious mechanic and la- t
vn. bourer are still suspended—Add to this the r
irf- numerous body of-females that procured a J
bat livelihood by waftu'ng, ironing, needle work, 1
ad &c. who are left destitute of their usual J,
pn means of subsistence, besides a number who '
*>on are aged and infirm, that used to obtain re
il, lief from the bounty of their more able
m- friends and relations, as well as many sea
men s wives who depend on the merchant J
part of their husband's monthly pay, and I
who are now deprived of relief from that si
Its, source. In this deplorable situation we d
1 < found not less than three thousand people, d
inclnding children, when we undertook to f:
tu . execute the trust reposed in us, the numb*r si
la - of these have since greatly increased, and la
■'T they still remain in the fame fuffering con- 2
: ' y f dition, with this difference, then they had b;
; the epnfoling refleftion, that the commission- P
