PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By the (hort and pleasant road of
Bitfileten, Newtown, Scotch Plaint, Spring-

I-'HE excellence of this road, the populous
. ness of the country through which it pa(T
es, with sundry other advantages, which render
it so far preferable Vo the Old Road through
Bristol, Brunfwiek, &c. long ago suggested the
propriety of its becoming the Grasd Tho
rough-Fare from Philadelphia to New York.
During the present year, a minute Airvey of it
his been taken,and its fupcriority over the Old
Road, both kt winter and funnner, has been
clearly afoertaineu.—There are good bridges
over all the other waters feut the Delaware,
and here t&e crossing is performed with great
fafety and in lei's than half the time required at
the Trenlou Ferry. The road is several miles
Jhorter tfan the old road, but this is amongst
the leaf! of its advantages, because daily txpe
iienre pioves to us, that difpateh as wellasc-om
j fort in travelling principally depend on the
ljoodnels of the ro.id ami the levelnefs of the
icoumry, and, in theft re'pe<fls, the New Road
is, beyond aU comparison, the bed. It presents
nonr or thole r. ic-ky bills, which render the Old
Road f« fatiguing between rhe Delaware and
Newark, flic fori, too, ior the greater part, it
such as to produce but little mud in winter, and
very Ktile >.uil in funimer, which cinumftince,
added to th* txaury of the country,'and a con.

With refpe.fi to packages Tent on wit hove
pafTengers, the proprietors presume they have
adopted a regulation, which, tftoogb unknown
to other lines of fta'ge;, tlicy think must meet
with general approbation, They pledge them
selves to make good every package on the flbl«
lowing conditions. The person who delivers
the package at the office (hill fee it antered in
the ftage-bouk, for which entry he shall pay A
cents ; he will then state the value of the pack
age,and pay (exclusive of the carriage) per
cent, on the value, as infurancr, and for which
he will receive a reieipt. Thus, for inftanoe.
if he estimates his package it one dolhir, he will
pay one cent, and if at one hundred dollars, he
will pay one dollar insurance, and in like pro—
portion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike
this regulation | it will however, be optionable
with every one to avail himfelf of thi* fecurify
or not. But the proprietors think it right to
state very explicitly, that they will be respon
sible for the fafe delivery of no package, which
is not regularly entored, and for which an insur
ance receipt cannot be produced.
In the distribution 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 paflengers at the most
reaf.mable rates The fiages are well equipped
fumilhed with fleet and Iteadyhorfes, and com
mitted tq the care of intelligent sober and obli
ging drivers. The ptoprietori themfclves live
at thediflerent towi s and villages where the
Itages will itop, io that the conduct of tfee per
sons they employ is continually an object of their
attention.— They take care also to fee that the
paflengtrs are well provided for and politely
.'treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica
nery or itifoletice is pra<3ifed upon them ; in
(hort, they have fparedneitherpains nor expence
to render the SWIFT-SURE the very belt line
ol lliges in America.
The lint has now run nearly a month, dur
ing which time a great number of gentlemen
bave gone through, both From Philadelphia and
New-York. Every paflenger has found the
road tofurpaft very far all that has betD said of
its excellence ; and the Proprietor of the Swift
Sure are extremely happy to hear the behavieu
of their drivers, and the treatment at TavernW
Ipoke* of with tne highelt fatisfaflion.
