fCT- THE SubscnbeitatKoVVilnung
ton Gazette arc informed thit o the 3 1st of
Dece&ber ensuing;, the 8th year's subscrip
Z .tion will bficorivejdae,' and Aattheir ccbunti
Vill be brought up to tfcat iod, , and pre
sented for payment. Thoie wbi live t a
distance, are solicited to incloie the amount
they owe (which wHj! sMitfy b hade knowa
' to them) by post, v , v.. :
After the first of Jdhaarjr, 1 80S, subscnp-
tion to the Gazette will be. Three Dollars fa
Year, if paid in advance, 'or Fohr Dollkrs,
payable as usual. , , . . . . ,
Advertisements wifN be. inserted, as usual,
at 75 cents a square for the first week, and
50 cents a square for each cotuinmnce.
A discount- of 25 uer will be made
" to subscribers who advertise by the year.
To those wb& are acqiaintVd-with the la
bour and fxpsnces of nevspaer Pnhtiog and
the present enornsj;atftfirH.rJ rWil
ittihgtoh, twottld prfcsu'm ft tnoccssry to
iay any tfiirig: on the propriety of itifs altera
tion In the terms of subscription y t6 'others,
however, it may be proper to "observe, that
fhe present expence of prTh'ting arid circulk
ting the Gazette, is at. the lowest computa
tion 1206 Dollars a year, exceeding by 'one
third its original expence) which tnu,st be
paid in actual cash'; and to meet this demand
there, is a subscription-of but 1.300 dollars,
from which may be leducle.at feast 25 per
ecnt.-forbad debts Henceit ! is evident that
the present proceeds, 'are tinecjual to tta
imburtements. To sustain the Gazette on
auch terms, would be unwise in its proprie
tor, and could not be 'desired by its patrons.
' I take this opportunity tq acknowledge my
self Indebted to thoe of ray subscribers and
other customers who have been punctual and
honest in their dealings1, but i cannot ajree
with a certain houorMbe writefjAhat' I 'am un
der obligations to those who refuse to pay af
ter being indulged for several y"ears,6r to those
who under specious. promises of payment,
ungenerously withhold from me the rewards
'tf from three to eight years labburv ...
The Gazette will be cdntintied ta its pf'e
'sent subscribers, on .the proposed terms, un
less countermanded by the . first of January
next .
Subscriptions are taken by the year only
(except transient pei-sbns) and in order to
discontinue the Gazette after thecommence-
iuent trancw year, cannot be complied with
uhti) the end of that year;, ;
