The Swift Sure ftarls from PHILADEL

through Newtown to Pen»y-town to dinner ;
■'O™ 1 f"ny town through Hopewell, Millstone,
Bound-brook, QuibMetown and Plainfield to
Scotch Plains to lodge. The next morning it
(tops at Springfield to breakfaft, fiom whence
it goes through Newark and arrives at New-

Fare for pafTengers, Five Dollars! )
Way pafTengers 6 Cents per Mile-. '
Each pafleager is allowed to take on j 4 lbi. of S
carriage free ; but all other
taken or by a paflenger, will be charged at 4
cents per pound weight.
With refpetJl to packages sent on without
pafTengers, tbt proprietors prefuine they have
adopted a regulation, which) though unknown
toother lines cf Aages, they think must meet
with general approbation, They pledge thetn
felves to make good every package on the fol
lowing conditions. The person who deliver*
t!;e package at the office ftnU fee it entered ia
the ilage-book, for which entry he [hall pay 6
cents ; he will then state the value of the pack
age,and pay (txclufive,of the carriaje) -ne per
cent. nr. thr v loe, as infurancr, and for which
he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance,
if he ePimates his package at one dollar, he w'Jl
pay ons cent, and if at one hundred dollars, be
will pay one dollar iufurance, and in like pro
portion for packages at any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike
this regulation j it will however, be optionable
with every one to avail himfelf Of this security
or not. But the proprietors think it fight to
state very explicitly, that they will be respon
sible for the fafe delivery of no package, which
is not regularly ent«red,and-f<>r which an insur
ance receipt cannot be produced.
Th the diflributlon of the route, the greatest
care has bren taken to fix on /uch places and ta
verns as always a Hard 1 gootl accommodation
aiid entertainment for the paflenger* at the most
reasonable rates The ftagee are well equipped
furnillicd with fleet and fteadyhorfes,and com
mitted to the care of intelligent sober and obli
ging drivers. The proprietors themselves Jive
at the different towtis and villages' where the
flageswill Hop, lo that theconducl of the per
sons they employ is continually aB ohjejft of their
attention.—They take care also to lee that the
pafiengers aie well provided for and politely
treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica
nery or insolence is praflifcd upon them ; ia
Ihort, they have fpaiedneither pains norexpence
to render the SWIb'T-SURE the very belt line
of ft.vj*es in America.
The line has now run nearly amonth.dur-.
ing which time a great number of gentlemen
have gene through, both from Philadelphia aRd
New-York. Every paflenger has tound the
road tofurpafs very far all that has been f-.id of
its excellence ; and the Proprietors of the Swift
Sure are extremely happy to hear the bebaviou
of their drivers, and the treatment at Tavernsr
fpokeii of with the highelt fatisfailion.
