i*'HE excellence of this road, the populous.

e», with sundry other advantages, which render
it so far preferable 10 th« Old Road through
Bristol, Br«nfwick, &c. long\ago fviggefted the
propriety of its becoming the Grand Tho
rough Fare from Philadelphia to New York.
During the present year, a minute Atrveyofit
Ins hern taken,and its superiority over the Old
Road, botl. in winter and summer, has been
clearly akertained.—Th«re are good bridge#
overall the otbsr waters hut the Delaware,
and here th» is performed with great
Safety and in left than half the time requined at
the I renton Ferry Tfc e ro ,d is fivtral wiles
yhorter tbaa the oM road, hut' this is among*
the leafl of its advantage-, because daily expe
dience pioves to m, that dilpateh as well as com

goodness of the road and the le.vlacfs of the
coun-ry, and, in thele refpefls, the New Road

none of tbofe rorky hills, which render the Old
Road fe fatiguing between the Delaware and
Newark* The foil, too, for the greater part, is
luch as to produee but little mud in winter, and
v»ry litile ufi ir. fumtner, whieh cin umftince,
added to the beauty of the country, and a cbn

greeable.
) The Swift Sure ftaru from PHILADEL

Fare for paflengars, Five Dollars*
Way pafiengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each pafleoger it allowed to rake on uibst <A
baggage cirriage free; other baggage,
talfen on by a paffer.g«r, will be charged at 4
cents per pound weight.
With refperfl to packages sent on withowc
passengers, the proprietor presume they have
adopted a regulation, which, thojfh unknown
to other lines 9; llaget, they think mtift meet
with genera! approbation, They pledge thera
felves to make go&d every package on the fol
lowing conditions. The person who deliver*
tlie package at the office (hat-1 fee it entered in
the fhge-bock, for which errtry he fc>ll pay 6
cents ; be will then ftaee the value <>f the pack
age,and pay (exclulive of the carriage ) ode per
cent. the v hie, as infunnc.-, ami for which
he M ill roceive a receipt. Thus, for ir.ftance,
if he eftimatea hia packjge at one dollar, he wiil
pay one cent, and if at one hundred dollars, he
will pay one dollar isfuramr, and in like pro
portion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike
this regulation 1 it will however, be optionable
witl),evt»y one to avail himlelf of this fccurity
or not. But the proprietors think it right to
iiate very explicitly, that they will be vefpon
fible for the fafe delivery of no package, which
is not regularly entered, and f< r which an insur
ance receipt caii"ot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the grea'rft
care has br«[n taken to fix on such places and ta--
v?rns as always afford a good accommodation
avid entertainment for the paiTengersatthrniaft
reasonable rates The stages are weH equipped 1
ttirnifheil with fleet and lteadyhorfes,and com
mitted to the care if intelligent sober and obli"
gii»g drTvers. The proprietors themselves live
at the different townj and villages where the
(♦ages will flop, so that the conduct of the per
sons they employ is continually an objet!) of their '
attention.—They take care also to lee that the
paffengeis are well provided for and politely
•treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica
nery or infoleii.ee is prdAifed upon them ; in
ill or t, they havefparedneitherpaiiisnorexpeiice
torender the SWIFT-SORE the very bett line
ol fliges in America.
The line has now ran nearly a month, dur
ing which time a great number of genrtewien
have gone through, both from Philadelphia and
New-York. Every passenger has found the
road tofurpafs very far all that has been fai:l of .
its excellence ; and the Proprietors of the Swift
Sure are extremely happy to hear the bthavieu
of their, drivers, and the treitmeat at Tavejnsf
