The Swift Sure ft arts from PHILADEL PHIA, at 6 o'clock every morning (Sundays excepted) from die GREEN7REE, opposite the Lutheran t?hwch, North Fourth ftrcet. It goes through Fraiiford »o Buftleton, where it ilopb to iireakfalt, frnS} Buitlerown it goes tlrough Newtown to Penny-town to dinner ; fioih Ptnny town through Hopewell, Millstone, Bourvd hi-ook, QuiliMcsown and Plainfield te Scotch Plain? toTwfgfc. The next morning it. flops at Springfield to breafcfaft, from whence it trues through Ntuark and arrives at New- York at noon. From NEW-YORK it fhrts at 3 o'clock in the afternoon (from Paulus Hook) and arrives at Philadelphia the next evening. For feats at New-York, application may be made to fid« ward Hardin, Old Cofteehoufe, to A.

Way paflengers 6 Cents per Mile. Kach is allowed to t .ike on 14HM. of bwgage carnage tree j but all other baggage, uk»n on by a pafliiiper, will be charged at 4 cents per pound weigi.l. With refpcil to package* sent on without paflengers, the proprietors presume they have adopted a which, t.'iojgh unknown to otter with general approbation, They pledge them fclvei to make good every package on the fol lowing conditions. The person who delivers t'ic package at the office frail fee it entered in the ftage-hovk, for which entry he pay 6 cents ; ht will then ilate the value of thepack age, and p«sy (exclusive of th<* carriage) one per ceQt. on the v Jwe, as aid for whick ke will receive a receipt. Thus, f>r inftance> If he edimatcs his package at one dollar, he will pay one cent, and if at one hundred ''ollars, ho will pay one dollar infuraßce, 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 avad himfelf of this security or not. But the proprietors think it right to liate very explicitly, that they will be respon sible for the fafe delivery of no package, which 19 not regularly entered, and for which an insur ance receipt caur.ot 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 reasonable rates The stages are well equipped furnished with fleet and steady horses, and com mitted to the care of Intelligent foher and obli ging drivers. The proprietors themselves live at the different towns and villages where the Itages will flop, io that the conduct of tke per sons they employ is continual an objefl of their attention.—They take care alio to lee that the paflengers are welt provided for and politely treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica nery or inioieiice is pra&ifed upon them ; in short, they havefpaiedneitherpains nor expence to render the SWIFT-SUKE the very belt line oi ft ages in America. The line lias now run »e»rly a month, dur ing which time a great number of gentlemen have gone through, both from Philadelphia and New-York. Kvcry pa (Tender hat found the road to furpafi very far all that has btcn said of iti excellence ; and the Proprietors of the Swift Sure are extremejy happy to hear the bebavicu of their drivers, and the tre»tmest at Tavertrcr fpokeß of with tne highest fatijfadlion.
