The Swift-Sure,
A NEW LINE OF STAGES,
NOW RUNNING BF.TWFEN
PHILADELPHIA ll? NEW-YORK,
By the (hort and pleasant road of
Buflhten, Nevitown, Scotch Plains, Spring•
field and Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the pojiuloul
ntfs of the country through which it pa"
e», with sundry other advantages, which rende
it so far preferable 10 th» Old Road throug
Bristol, Bruni\i isk, &c. long ago suggested th
propriety of its becoming the Grand Ihe
rough-Fare from Philadelphia to New Yon.
Daring the prelent year, a minute survey of
his been taken,and its superiority over the Ol
Road, both in winter and summer, has bee
clearly afcertain«d. —Th#re are good bridgi
- - <? ooc
>v*r all the oth«r waters but the Delaware,
md here the eroding is performed with great
f'ifety and in less than half tke time required at
the Trenton Ferry. The road it fevtral miles
Jberter than the old road, but this is amongil
the lead of its advantages, because daily expe
iience piovea to us ; that difpatcb as wed com
fort in travelling prim ipaily depend on the
goodness of the ro?.<t ami the levelnefs of the
country, and, in tlnfe refyedls, the New Koa-l
is, beyond all comparison, thebeft. It prevents
ncne of thole rocky hills, which render the Old
Road I. fatiguing between the Delaware and
Newaik. The foif, too, for the greater part, is
! v«ry litde uft if" summer, which circumftiflce,
added to tha beauty of the country, and a c< n
j fiderabte.proportion of lhade, rnuft always tch-
I der travelling in the latter season peculiarly a-
greeable.
The Swift Sure starts from PHILADEL
PHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays
excepted) from the ORJEEN 7REF% opposite
the Lutheran Church, North Fourth street It
goes through Frankford to Buftleton, where it
stops to Breakfnfti from Buftletown it goes
through Newtown to Penny-town to dinner ;
from Penny town through Hopewell, Millstone,
Bound-brook, Quibbletown and P.lainfield to
Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it
flops at Springfield to breakfaft, from whence
it goes through Newark and arrives at Ntw-
York at noon.
From NEW-YORK it starts at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon (tWm Paulus Hook) and arrives
at Philadelphia the next evening. For feats at
New-York, application may be nude to Ed-
Ward Bardin, Old Coffee hbufp,'to A. Mathieu,
corner of Naflau and John streets, to B. Many,
no. 48, Courtlsndt, corner of Greenwich street,
and to Michael Little, at his hotel, no- 41,
Broad street.
Fare for paJTengers, Five Dollars.
Way paflengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each paflenger is allowed to take on I4lbs. of
baggage carriage free ; but all other baggage,
taken on by a pafienger, will be charged at 4
cents per pound weight.
With refpeil to package* Tent on without
paflengers, the proprietors presume they have
adopted a regnlarion, whieh, thojgh unknown
to other line 9 of stages, they think mfjft meet
with general approbation, They pledge them
lelves to make good every package on the sol- j
lowing conditions. The perlbn who delivers !
the package at the office shall fee it entered in j
the stage-book, for which entry he shall pay 6
cents ; he will then state the value of the pack*
age.and pay (exclusive of the carriage) >ne per
cent, on the v.ilue, a» infunnce, and for which
he will receive a reeeipt. Thus, for instance,
if he estimates his package it one dollar, he will
pay ope cent, and if at one hundred > ollars, he
will »ay one dollar and in like pro
portion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will diflifce
this regulation 1 it will howevtr, be optionable
with every one to avail bimfelf of this security
or not. But the proprietors think it right to
state very expliaitly, that they will be respon
sible for the fafe delivery of no package, which
is not regularly entered, and for which anlnfur
ance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greiteft '
care has bren taken to fix on such places and ta
verns as always afford a good accommodation
and entertainment for the pafiengersat the raeft
reasonable rates The stages are well equipped
furnilhed with fleet an I lteadyhorfei, and com
mitted to the care of intelligent lo'ier and obli
ging drivers. The proprietors themselves live
at the different towns and villages where the
stages will stop, io that thecondudl of the per
sons they employ is continual!) an ohjedl of their
attention—They take care also to lice that the
paftcngers are well provided for and politely
treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica
nery or infoleiice is pra&ifed upon them ; in
(hort, they have fparedneith;rpains nor expence
to render the SWIFT-SURIi the very belt line
o| stages in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, dur
ing which time a great number of gentlemen
have gone through, both from Philadelphia and
New-York. Every palTenger has found the
road tofurpafi very far all that has been said of
its excellence ; and the Proprietors of the Swift
Sure arc extremely happy to hear the bchaviou,
of their drivers, and the treatment at Tavernsr
fpokefi of with the highest l'atisfaflion.
