VINDICATION OK THE TURN- PIKE. At a meeting ofthe President stnd Ma¬ nagers ofthc Huntingdon Cambria and Indiana Turnpike Road Company at the House of William Donaldson, in the town of Frankstown on the 2-tth May 1819.
Thefollotaing Resolution^ tiiere lihttni- mously adopted^ viz:
Whereas it has been proved to this Board, by undoubted Evidence that sun¬ dry evil disposed persons have been cir¬ culating slanderous -eports, as false, as they are wfckfed for the purpose of injur¬ ing the Credit o jVi\>e Company, in regard to the state of ni*^ Funds- Such aS, that the Compiny have more than g200,000 of paper iii circulation ; That they have drawn all the money frdm the State, that was appropi-iated: That the oMcers of the Company discount the turnpike Ordvsrs at 25 or 30 per cent &c. &c. Therefore Resolved, That for the purpose of contradicting; those base slan¬ ders, and preventing the pubiick from being imposed on by those miscreants ([whoSe sole motive appears to be, to dis¬ credit the Company's paper and then to buy it up at a large discount,) a siate¬ inent oir their fudds be published in both tbe Huntingdon Newspapers the Cam¬ bria Record, and Indiana ..^mericarli ac¬ companied by aii CJtplanation to the pub¬ lic.
Resohedy that a committee be appoin- ti^d to carry thfe above Resolution into fcffect.
Whereupoti, a Cothmittee being ap¬ pointed made report as follows viz.
That they find the funds of the Com¬ pany to consist of the following Items. Appropriations by the Legislature^ viz: By au act of 2 4th  March

Amouat paid by the St. Trea-
Ihis Board, that some ofthe Stockholder* (disregarding not only the general dutj^ ofgood citizens to promote all public im¬ provements, but likewise what duty and honesty to the company of which they are mijsmbers, requires of them) havu purchased the paper of the Company at a discount, whilst ihey were largely in¬ debted to the Institution; Tberefore
Resoiaed ; That the Treasurer in sct-^ • tling with all such Stockholders for thc payment of the Several Instalments duo on thir respective Stock, shall chai^ge them five per Cent per month from thir¬ ty Days, after the Same has been called for, up to the time of payment according¬ to the-actof assembly in such c^ses made & provided. Any Resolution ofthe Board to the contrary notwithstanding, & eve¬ ry act, order or resolution of the Board made for tho purpose of dispensing vvithf or excusing from the payment of thi* said five per cent per Month, are here¬ by repealed so far as relates to the Stock¬ holders aforesaid and the payment of their Stock, and no further.
And whereas through the misconduct Sihd inattention of our immediate Repre¬ sentatives, and others whose duty xt was to patronise the Northern Route Turn¬ pike, the Company did tibt obtain a further appropriation from the State at the last Session of the Legislature ; and tire ill disposed have taken advantage of this and other circumstances to depreci-a.te the credit of the Companv, and Avhereas it is the imperious duty of the Managers to preserve the credit of the Institution unimpaired.     Therefore Resolved.
Thatthe Treasurer shall proceed with all reasonable dispatch to collect the ar¬ rears of Stock, and shall receive in pay¬ ment, only, Orders ofthe Huntingdon, Cambria and Indiana Turnpike Road Company, lawful Coin of the U. Slates, or Bank Notes that pass at par in tho City of Philadelphia, and that he give public notice of the  same.
The Board of Managers trust that the foregoing statement will convince any unprejudiced mind that the affairs of tho CoijBpany in a safe and prosperous Sit¬ uation, and that no one need to be a* fraid of holding their paper .
It ^viU appear that the funds of th& Company if collected at thc time of com¬ pleting the present contracts viz. on the first day of November next will be suf¬ ficient to take up all the paper in circu¬ lation ; to pay off all the contracts they have made for Roads Bridges &c. and I leave a Balanceof 8 5413 84 to pay tho F.ixpense of Managemeiit, superinten.. dance rejjair 8cc. , /
It is true that tile Company will only | draw from the State or finishing the pre- ' sent cbntrilcts about the sum of g 30,000 leaving the residue of above 8 6000 for extendihg thc Road; and this Sum and much  more the Managers confidently .expected would have been covered by an    ' appropriation from the   State, this how-   ;' ever failed from causes well known. Yet    j wc have little doubt that   subscriptions    < to more than this amount can be obtain¬ ed during the present summer, and that a succeeding Legislature will bcmore fa¬ vorable than the lasl, at all  events, that we shall have the agsistancc ofour own    ' Representatives.     But should bolh the these sources fail, the Tolls would soon make up the dificiency, as they will prp- duce after the present Contracts are fin¬ ished more than g 12,000 per annum.
fhe Managers have sent for the aci count of Murray Draper Fairman and Co. Shewing the whole number of Or¬ ders they have printed for the Company, which when received will be published, with anaccount of-the |sums laken up, thereby shewing the amount iu circula¬ tion.

Baltimore, May PIRATES ARRESTED. Yesterday 22 ofthe crew of the priva¬ teer brig La /rresistable, formerly com¬ manded by c!(ptaiii Daniels, of this port^ were arresied, and commiited to the jail ofthis city.    It appears that many atro¬ cious actil of robbery have been discrimi- nately committed.    Among the unfortu¬ nate vessels plundered, is  the schooner Superior, ofthis port,  for New-Orleans, with   passengers—-among   the   number were several ladies.    The   passenger's trunks were broken opeu, and robb^ii of every article of value; and even the ritlgt torn from thc fingers of the  lady passen¬ gers; a Frcileh aad an English ship ^ixto plundered   of   many   valuable arucles. Twcuty-six of ihe crew of the pii-ate ef¬ fected their csca^ic   to   Norfolk, in the steaui boat Virginia, but  we trust ttiejj will all be apprehended.       Fed, JiMf
