The Swift-Sure,
A NEIV L INE OF STAGES,
PHILADELPHIA & NEW-YORK,
By/Helen, Ncv>to*un. Scotch Plaint, Spring-
JieU an J Nctuarl.
i'H E excellence (if (his road, the populouf
ncl's nf the country through which it pass
es, with Igndry other -advantiges, which render
it !'o lar ptefVrable to tho Old Road through
Uriftol, Brudf*i.k, &c. long ago the
propriety of its the Grand Tho
rough Fare from Philadelphia to New York.
During the present year, a minute Purvey of it
iiia been taken,r.nd its fuprriority over the Old
Road, both in winter and summer, has been
clearly ascertained.—Thsre are good bridges
liver all the othsr waters hut the Delaware,
and here t|j.e croffisg is performed with great
fatety and in left than half the time requii»ed at
the Trenton Ferry. 'I he road !s fncral milts
/barter than the ol! road, but this is aniong.t
che IcaCl of its advantages, because daily expe
i ieuce ptoven to u#, that difpateh as w*U as com
fort ia travelling principally depend on the
?oodt,er» of the read and the level'ntft of the
country, and, in thefc rel'peifls, the New Road
is, bryond aU companion, the belt. It present*
none ol thole rocky hills, which render the Old
frt fatiguing between t'he Delaware and
Ne\t-Mk. The foil, too, for the greater part, is
, luch as to prod use but little mud in winter, and
very Utile • uft ii. Cummer, which oinumlhnce,
added to the b*»uty ot the country, and a con
liderablc proportion of lhade. trull always rea
der travelling m the latter season peculiarly a-
L'rernble.
The SwiliSure starts from PHfLADEL*
PHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays
excepted) from the GREEN 7RgE. oppose
the Luihcran Church, North Fourtli street. It
goes thcr-ugh FfankS»rd lo Huftleton, where it
Hops to Brfakfafl; i<>>ni liuftierown it goet
through Newtown to Penny-town to dinner ;
from Penny tow n through Hopewell, Millstone,
Bound-!>fook, QFniVtletown and Plainfield to
Scotch Plain* to U'dge. The next morning It
(tops at Springfield to breikfaft, from whence
it (foes through Newark and arrives at New-
York at noog.
From NEW-YORK i: starts at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives
at Ph.Uuelphia the next evening. For feats at
New-York, application may be made to £d«
ward Hardin, OW Cofi'et hoiife, to A. Mathieu,
corner of Nafiau and John streets, to B. Mtny,
110. 4?, CourtJjudr, corner of Greenwich
and to V!ii hael Little, at hi* hotel, no. 4»»
Broad lireet.
Fare for paflengers, Five Dollars,*
Way paflengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each paffenter is allowed to take on i 4 lbs. of
b *gg 3 ge carriage free ; but all other baggage,
taken On by a piflenger, will be charged it 4
cents per pjund weight.
With refpeift to packages sent on without
pafTengers, the propriet rs piel'uuie they have
adopted a regnlarion, which, though unknown
to other lines ot ftaget, tliey think mull meet
with general approbation, They pledge them
feives to make good every package on the fol
lowing conditions. The person who deliver»
the package at the office (hail fee it entered in
the itage-bo k, for which entry he pay 6
cents ; he will then Hate the value of the pack
age,and pay (exclusive of the carriage) ane per
cent, on the v lue, as infunnce, tod for which
te will raceive a receipt. Thus, for instance,
if lie efiimates his package it one dollar, he will
pay one cent, and if at one hundred dollars, he
will pay one dollar infuraßce, and in like pro
portion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is prcfumed, will dislike
this regulation t it will however, be optionable
with every one to avail himfelf of this security
or not. But ihe proprietors think'it right to
Hate very explicitly, that they will be rel'pon
fible tor the fife delivery of no package, which
is not regularly entered, and for which an insur
ance receipt cannot be produced.
In ihe difiribution of Ihe route ( the greatest
care his brcn taken to fix on such places and ta
verns as always afford a good accommodation
and entertainment for the paflrngersatthe naoft
r-al'onable rites The stages are well equipped
fumi-'hed with fleet an<l lteadyhorfes, and rcm
mitted to ike care of intelligent sober and obli
ging drivers. The proprietors themfc+ves live
at the different towt's and villager where the
iiages will Cop, lb that thecondnct of the per
fous they employ is continually an object of their
attention They take care also to fee that the
pafiengei s art well provided for and politely
'treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica
nery or insolence is praiftifed upon them ; in
Ihort, tlicy hive fparedneithsrpains nor expence
to render the SWIFT-SUKE the very belt line
ot iiages in America.
The line has how run nearly a month, dor*
ing -jt filcli time a great number of gentlemen
have gone through, both from Philadelphia? and
New-York. Every passenger lias found'the
road to furpals v*f yfar all that ha* brctrfiaid of
it» excellence ; and the Proprietors of tfc# Swift
Sure »re extremely happy to hear the bdwrieu
of their driver*, and the treitment at TaTKOtf
