For extra hazardous fifques a larger premiMm will be required, which will vaj'y according to circumstances, feldoia ex ceeding one per cent, per annum ; but in some in stances, where the property insured i* not only in itfclf extra hazardous, hut rendered (till more so by the vicinity of extra hazardous buildings and occupations, the premium demanded will be raised according to circumstances.

Last summer he returned to this country under the pretence of " taking care of his new lands." Soon after his return, he took a journey into the country, aHd was entertained at Chancel lor Livingfton's, where I have reafian to believe, lit changed bishorfe and chair, and put on a dress, which in a gri at measure, amounted to a disguise. I will endeavor to inv.elligatt this fa ft further, and lay it before the public.

Citizen Kettletas, on a late eleilion, being lent in to the country to disperse some hard hills, was n-.et by a gentleman who remarked to him, that the falfehood of what he was difperCng, would soon be det:£Ud —No matter laid the citizen, —" it will have its effcit firli." In Orange cpun;y the people were taught to believe that Mr. Jay had brought the (lamp ail from England in his pockef, and that they mull bring their title deeds to N York to he stamped or forfeit their farms—On the Mo hawk river many of th« people, finding that they have no llamp duties to pay, lately believed, and, perhaps; flill believe, that their oppofitioo has forced Congtefs (o repeal the law. I was t«ld by one of th« aficfiors, that a man whose house-tax would amount to two or three dollars, was almofl rendered defperat#by being told , th.it-he» should have to pay 60.

There is, I am infovmed, a Frenchman in town of the ftame of Merge or Morgue, wbo is the son of a man in the confidence of the diredtory, and who has i.o visible business in this country. He drfffes in the American manner, and would not be fufpefied as a Frtnchman from his apparel. I know a Democrat who had lived at Edinburgh, and spoke familiarly of the French Spies that he knew, who had resided for ye&rs in Scotland. He gave me l'ome particular* of the methods they took to avoid being detested, and to make their communications. Men who despise all religion, an t whose lxv«s are in continued hostility to virtue, ve ry naturally contemn its divine inflitutions Wis consolatory, however to the real Chri stian lo observe, that notwith(landing the repeated and ariful attempts which have been made to propagate the principles of a ruinous infidelity, the advocates for the doc trines of revelation and truth, in our coun try, are ftiil numerous and powerful ; and especially, that those to whefe wisdom is entrained t"he fuperintesdance c f our ,üb lic cone rns are not ajhamed to acknowledge the atiibutes of Deiiy, ortc. adorfrthe good- * ness of Providence. By their high example ,t 1■ ey are leadi g the people to rigbteouf nefs, without which a nation can never Le truly exalted happy or prosperous. A whole nation assembling in one day for the fokmn excrcifex of devotion, is, to the benevolent mind, a fpedscle fa more mag nificent and interelting than the proudest pageant which rayal equipage affords.—ln the contemplation of fi.ch a scene, the mind is transfixed by tlic sublimity of the fubjeft ; and the foul, gladdened with the piofpeft, diflolves into pious extacy—Such a fcenc last Thursday was exhibited. BALTIMORE, April x 6. A gentleman at Oporto, in a letter to his friend in this city, earnestly recommends it-to eur government to fend two or three stout vessels of not lei's than 18 guns, to be stationed at Corunna, for the protection of our trade—one of them to be always in light of the harbor, the others constantly ranging the coast from #ence to Vigo, as the former is the granj rendezvous for French priva teers, the latter occasionally. The scene of devotion which was yester day exhibited by this city, is a convincing proof ot\the high refpeel which our citizens entertain for the chief magistrate of the uni on ; and how eilential they deem it at this time to aflemble together, in the most devoiit manner to offer up prayers to the almighty ruler of nations, for unanimity and concord, for an increase of virtue and religion, and for the help of his powerful hand in defend ing our lives, liberty and property again ft the machinations and violence of an abandoned nation of Atheists and plunderers. 1 V POST-OFFICE, Philadelphia, April 29,/ 1799.
