For Insurance ogaiull Fi*e, on Dwelling-
Houfcs, Ware-Houfcs, and other Buildings (and
ou Goods contained yifuch Buildings) did ant from
Philadelphia, in the*nited States.
I. Common lufurance?, on hazards of the firft
class, will he undertaken at a premium of ahout
halt per cent, per annum. 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.
Houses and Ware-Houses, the walls and parti
tions of which are wholly of ft one or fcrick, well
conftru<slei4, so as to F>« guarded as well as may be
again!! fires from within, and tree from extra ha
zardous buildings and occupations in their neigh
borhood, will be deemed hazardou* of the firft
claf% and may be insured to their full value.
Also Goods and Merchandize, not an extra
hazardous kind, in calks. bales, or packages, de
foflted in fneh buildings, to an amount not ex
ceeding 4000 dollars ; but if more than thisfum
is required to be insured in one tenement, an addi«
tional premium will be required, in proportion to
circumftanees.
11. Infuracces will be made on buildings and
good; extra hazardous, at premiums proportioned
to thy risque. But it i& Hot easy to arrange these
under particular heads cr elaffes, so as to describe
each with the neceflary accuracy. Each cafe must
therefore be decided upon according to the citcum
{tances attending it ; and these circumstances wili,
in general, appear from the deftription accompa
nying the application.
iiuildings partly conftru&ed of brick or (lone,
are preferable to thofo wholly'wooder. And in
both cases, the stile of building, how they are oc
cupied, ,ow they are {ituafced, the neighboring
building-, and how occupied, are confederations to
be taken into view. And with refpc<sfc t® snoods,
fheir tendency, whether from their natwfe, or
from the manner in which they are exposed, either
to commence or to increase an accidental fire, and
their liability in such flats to receive damage by
wet, fudden and h'afly removal, or to be fto-
Iw in unie of confufion and hurry, are all cir-
of weight; and the premiums mufl be
proportioned accordingly.
ni».The following conditiont are to be under
ft'ood "'V the parties .
ift. Tut Insurance is not binding till the ftipu
latsd premium be paid ; but it shall be deemed ef
fectual from the time of such payment and accep
tance thereof, whether the policy be immediately
signed or not.
2d. Insurances may be renewed at the expira
tion of the term of the policy, without further ex
nenfv* than the rvaymert of the premium of there
ietsfttid term,tfi<r circurrtftancescontinuing thy fame
as they w-rennderftood by the Insurers at the time
the former insurance was made ; but the payment
of th« premium is eflential t® such renewal ; «and
if the party insured fuffers any time to elapse after
the expiration ot the former insurance,
. ays a premium for the renewal, he *«-rrfffiliTured
—can the insurance berenew
d on the former policy"mn 4>y computing the
commencement of the renewal from-the expiration
of the fanner idfuran.ee. The fubje& of infur
anc- may ne«erihelefs be open to treaty fdr a new
;fliu;'it?ee.
3d. If any other inference be made on the fame
property ; it mufl ft'e made known at the t/me of
.-.ipucation, othrrwife the policy made on luch ap-
plication will he void.
4th Goads held in trust, *r on consignment,

'icy are not t© be cop.lidded - s insured athenvife.
stil*. This coinpa-iiy will not be liable or actoun

blgn'itivafiim, or by any military or usurped force
or !>y wjafoti of any civil commotion ; or occasion,
ed by guupowd. r 4 aquafortis or other thing of th
.Mte kind keptin the building, or amongst the pro
perty insured.
6th. Bills of Exchange, Bonds and other Secu
rities Title Dci'ds, Money, Bank and other pro
mill >y Notes, are not included in any insurance;
nor arc paiHtiugs, *nedat°, joi-vcls, gems, antique
euriofities, or mirrors exceeding the valise of twen
ty-live dollars each, to be confidercfl as insured une
le's particularly mentioned and by special agree-

7th. No insurance will He made for a flioiter
term than one year, nor for a longer term'than se

Would to heaven, fellow-citizens, that I

at this time, so urgently require the exertion
of your belt and utmost efforts This is
not a petty contest for party preeminence.
It involves ronlequences of thegreateft mo

peace nor truce with them.. The war that
they wage again(l; virtue, laws, order, and

When the French formed their new conllitution,
and while Walhington was President, thej as
openly cried out for a Direitory of turie. The
eleiflions of last Germinal, were conduced in
France under the diredion of the military. A

stripped of the means of fubfifteuce, and since that,
several new contributions have been la ; d. Flan

{ The infamous Edward Grifwold, whj left
this country for a well known crime, has fines liv
ed in the enjoyment of fortune, in France, and is
said to be married to a niece of one of the Direc
tory. 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. It is certain, however,
that he was seen in the address and cquipege I al
lude to at Clavcrack, preaching sedition among
ignorant people.
|{ Io Walbington ccuntj .the people were taught
to believe,that Mr. Jay had bought up all the quit

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

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

I know a Democrat who had lived at
Edinburgh, and spoke familiarly of the
French Spies that he knew, who had resided

communications.
Men who despise all religion, an t whose

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

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

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.
