A NEW LINE OF STAGES,
NOW RUNNING BF.TWKIN
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By the (hort and pleasant road of
Bujikton, Newtown, Scotch Plaint, Spring.
Jieldand Newark.
THE excellence of this road, the populous*
ness of the country through which it pafl"-
e», with sundry other advantages, which render
it so M preferable Vo the Old Road through
Bristol, Urunfw itik, &c. long ago V,'gefled the
propriety of its becoming the Grand Tho
rough-Fare from Philadelphia to New Yerk.
During the present year, a minute survey ofit
his been taken.and its fnperiority over the Old
Road, both in winter and funimer, has been
e!«arly alcertained.—There are good bridges
over all the other w»t«rs hut the Delaware,
and here the eroding is performed with great
fafety and in le's than half the time required at
the Treuton Ferry. The road i« several miles
Jhorter than the old road, but this is amongA
the leAfl of its advantages, becanfe daily expe
i ierice piovcs to us, that dispatch as wellascom
fort in travelling principally depend on the
goodness of the road and the levelnefs of the
couniry, and, in these re,pedis, the New Road
is, bey-md all cmnparifon, the bell. It prcfetitt
none of thole rocky hills, which render the Old
Road fa fatiguing between the Delaware and
Newiik. The foil, too, for the greater part, is
such as to produce but little mud in winter, and
very litile • ull in fummrr, which circumftince,
added to the beauty et the country, and a con
liderable proportion of (hade, u u(t always ren.

and to Michael Little, at hid hotel, no. 42,
Broad fkeet.
Fare for passengers, Five Dollars,
' Way passengers 6 Cents per Mile-
Each paflenger is allowed to take on of
baggage carriage tree; but all other baggage,
taken on by a paflenger, wilj be charged at 4
c ents per pound weight.
With refpefl to packages sent on without
paflengers, the proprietors presume they have
adopted a regulation, wliieh, though uiiknswft
to other line* of stages, they think must meet
with general approbation, They pledge them
felve* to make good every package on the fol
lowing conditions: The person who deliver*
tUe package at the olice (hall fee it entered is
the ftage-bouk, for which entry he Ihail pay 6
cents j he will then state the value of the pack*,
age,and pay (exclusive of th« carriage) one per
cent, on the vjlue, u infurancr, and for which
he will rtceive a reoeipt. Thus, for iaftante,
if he eilimatcs his package at one dollar, be. vsiU
pay one cent, and if at one hundred dellars, be
will pay one dollar insurance, and in like pro*
portion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is prefuraed, will dislike
this regulation 1 it will however, be optionable
with every one to avail himfclf of this security
or not. But the proprietors think it right to
slate very explicitly, that they will be relpon
fible for the fafe delivery of no package, which
is not regularly (entered, and for which an insur
ance receipt cannot be produced.
In the dittribution of the route, the greatest
care has bren taken to fix on such places and ta
verns as always afford a good accommodation
and entertainment for the paffengersat the most
reasonable rates The llagts aie well equipped
furniihed with fleet an.l fleady horses, and com
mitted to (he care of intelligent fo'ier and obli
ging drivtrs. The proprietors thtinfelvcs live
at the different towns and villages where the
f),iges will flop, so that the conduct of the per
fous they employ is continuall) .in objefl of their
attention —They take care also to lee that the'
paflengers are well piovide.l for and po'itely
treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica
nery or insolence is pra&ifed upon them ; in
short, they have spared neithcrpains nor expence
to render the SWIFT-SURE the very belt line
oi stages in America.
The line has now run nearly a month, dar
ing which time a great number of gentlemen
have g'.'iie through, both from Philadelphia and
New-York. Every paflenger has found the
road to iurpafs very far all that has been said of
its excellence ; and the Proprietors of the Swift
Sure are extremely happy ,o hear the behaviou,
of their drivers, and the trejtnr.e'st at Tavfmsr
fpokeß of with the highest fatisfaflion.
