Three Don. per Arm.] Volume I.] —-- - To the PUBLIC HE Sabfcribers having commenced the Printing Business in the City of An aufta, take the opportunity of the firft number of their Weekly Paper, to return their grateful acknowledgments, to their numerous subscribers by whom their un dertaking has been generously patronized j and to allure them that no pains will be spared to render their, paper a vehicle of ufeful information, and a source of ra tional amusement. Added to the usual difficulties which present themselves, to those, who with but moderate funds, at* tempt almost any eftablifliment, the Sub scribers have .had'to encounter peculiar in conveniences, which neceflariiy prevent ed their Publifliing the AUGUST A HERALD as early as was at firft con templated; but as no wilful negligence can be imputable to them, they trutt the delay will be exclifed by a liberal community, j From the arrangements made, the Edi tors of the Herald hope to be able to fur ziifli their readers with a .detail of the iat eft European events, and the earliest do mestic occurrences, and by a judicious i'eleflion of moral and entertaining publica-"' tions, to engage the attention of jdiofe who are indifferent to the political events of the world* It will be the constant aim of the'Edi tors to conduit their paper in such an im partial manner, as not to favor the party views of any set of designing individuals, while a free difcuffionof public measures will ever be admitted.—But refolding to support the liberty of the press on pujre and just principles, they heffitate not to fay that no publications will iflue from their press calculated merely to bring the Federal Go vernment into eifrepute, or to withdraw the confidence of thp people from thdfe who adtninifter it. Though not expelling in the enlightened City in which they re lide to be pfefented with arty such pieces, 4 ygt they this declaration neccffary, a|: : a fliouid they be found hereafter to have rejected the pro du&ions of such as will not, or cannot, make the diftlndtion between the liberty and the licentiousness of the Press. To give general fatisfa&ion will be the constant aim of the Editors, and, to ;aid their efforts, they take the liberty of soli citing from their literary friends, such as sistance as their leisure and talents will en able them to furnifh, towards rendering the Herald universally entertaining.
