PHILADELPHIA.
THIS splendid NEW HOTEL is now openfor the reception of company. The establishment was begun, continued and finished, with the express design of securing to the city of Philadelphia, the desideratum-a house capacious, yet commodious-public yet private .. A Hotel, where men of business might find accommodations suited to their active habits ; and, where families might enjoy all the comforts of a private, fashionable mansion. How far the proprietor has fulfilled this object, he confidently submits to the opinion of those who may please to honour THE WASH- INGTON with a visit.
The situation is one of the most central, in the most fashionable street in this city. The Public Dining Room and Public Parlor for Gentle- men are on the most extensive scale. The Private Parlors for Ladies and Families, to which there is a private entrance, are furnished in the most tasteful and fashionable style. The Ladies' Dining Room, or Private Ordinary, is arranged in keeping with the Private Parlors, all of which cannot be excelled in design and finish.
To those of the travelling public, whom the proprietor has had the honor to serve in his capacity of Master of the Steamboats of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, he needs say but little, trusting his assiduity heretofore will prove to them a sure guaranty for the future. But to all who may favor him with their company, he pledges an unremitting watchfulness and attention, to secure to them comfort and convenience, whilst sojourning at the WASHINGTON.
