Philadelphia, March, ,1316. PEAS AND TERMS OT SUBSCRIPTION. When the publisher submitted the preceding notice of his intention to undertake this national publicatiori, ai- thdugh it had long occupied his reflections, he was not f ully-aware of its importance, for htghad never suspected what die fact really is, that there'is no -where extant aq authentic published copy of the most important State Paper iff the anfiats of the world: The original Declaration of Independence, as depo sited ih the secretary of state’s office, was happily pre served. wherj- so many valuable papers were consumed by the enemy. Without dwelling up- -* slight d-iftfer- ences/lnaccuracies, or omissions, the first words which present themselves in Our printed copies, and even as they are ofreeord on the Journals of the Old. Congress, are as follows:— ■“'A DECLARATION BY THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE tnVrfp.n states of America in congress assembled,”— Whereas in the original tlie Declaration is thus headed— “the unanimous declaration of the thirteen united STATES OF AMERICA.” . ; This Is not a mere Verbal distinction; it involves a dif ference in principle. Does it become Americans to be careless tin this sujyect, or ought interpolation or altera tion of any kind to .be permitted in a public document so sacred? Ought’it not to .be faithfully preserved and ■transmitted to posterity Word for word, letter for letter and point foe point? 'The American public will unhesitatingly answer YES! and the pdbfisB|rstands pledged to have it so engraved, and tt> accompany it with the requisite proofs of authen- sizeofthe Paper will be thirty-six inches by twen ty-four. It will be manufactured by Mr. Amies, in his best manner and Of the very best materials. The Design, which is from the pencil of Mr. Bridport, will'be executed in imitation of Das Relief; and will en circle-the Declaration as a cordon of honor, surmounted toy tie Arms of the United States.

Police Office, 20th July, 18l6. Pursuant to a resolution of Council, the following re port is published for the information of ail concerned. “The committee to whom was Tteferred the considera tion of the best mode of redeeming, investing and appro priating the funds derived from the emission of corpora tion treasury change bills, Jieport—that for the further security of the holders of the said bills, tlie treasurer do keep a separate account of tlie amount issued and that he do keep the sums in the treasury of the city, to enable him to, pay bills when presented to him, and that on no occasion do he make use of the sums so received, but for the payment of the said bills, unless otherwise authorised by special resolution of council. Yoiir committee are of opinion, that the amount issued is too small to enable council to make any appropriation of the same by invest ment in funds or otherwise to draw interest, and that the existence of these bills may be too short in their limita tion to authorise council fbr the present to make any permanent appropriation of their proceeds. Your com mittee further recommend that the treasurer do receive for said bills, the current money of tlie city, to wit—the notes of Banks wliich are not depreciated farther than the difference of exchange, and that tlie treasurer furAish the committee of Finance with the amount of change bills issued, and the amount on hand received for tlie same, anil that he do advertise that persons, holders of. the change bills, will receive payment at any fane, by calling on the treasurer—but no surn under one dollar will be paid.
