Open to ALL PARTIES, but influenced by NONE. <div class="column"> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 1</h6> Mr. RIND, ABOUT ninety years after Bacon's rebellion we had an impartial and circumstantial account of its rise, progress, and termination. That precious little morsel of our history deserves to be preserved. Ninety years hence posterity may have as valuable a history of the late proceedings in Carolina. It is scarce to be expected at this time, when both the Regulators and their enemies deny, with all asseveration, every charge exhibited by one against the other; probably with very little candour on both sides. Should the inclosed find a place in your Gazette, I should be pleased to see it contribute to extort histories of the Carolina troubles, carefully exhibiting its causes, &c. Though I question not but they would be partial, we might, however, from the two best pieces, on different sides, attain something like truth. I am, Sir, your, &c. ARISTIDES. ADDRESS TO PHOCION. On voyait alors des scenes bien disserentes. D'un cotè le désespoir et la suite d'une partie de la nation: De l' autre de nouvelles sêtes à Versailles-Trianon bati, &c. &c. A COMPLETE detail of those facts which preceded the slaughter at Almance would, no doubt, give particular pleasure to public curiosity. It is very difficult for a stranger to combine the detached relations of parti- cular incidents, so as to form a complete idea of the whole transaction. Indeed the Pennsylvania Gazette, of Au- gust 15, contains almost the only connected account we have. It appears to have been digested from the papers, and verbal informations, of Herman Husbands, when he was in that city. That paper has every appearance of truth that can be desired, and this, among others, that it remains unrefuted; and, as to the principles which governed the Regulators, it is authority, than which there can be no better. You will observe in that account, that the Regulators did not [illegible] too ready to return, [illegible] if [illegible] piece abovementioned be [illegible] men of North Carolina [illegible] seems as though [illegible] because [illegible] [illegible] Besides that paper we have only such facts as appear in various vindications of the Anti-regulators, some of which are difficult to excuse. A publication in our Gazette gave an account of Col. Cornell's frolic at Newbern, when Leonidas was honour- ed with the faggot. To that account was subjoined a defence of the conduct, held toward the Regulators. I imagined, from a perusal of those matters, that corporal correction was not confined to the soldiers for the mere purposes of discipline. Read that paper. You say that Col. Tryon wished, and endeavoured, to promote universal and impartial justice. That is very difficult for the head of a party. Consult the Penn- sylvania Gazette above mentioned. It is good to hear both parties. The universality and impartiality of his justice may there appear. However, to drop the subject of a character, for which I have not the smallest vene- ration, can it be averred that, in your courts, universal and impartial justice prevailed--prevailed free from il- legal shackles and incumbrances? Was there neither actual nor virtual combination among the limbs of the law to extort unwarranted, and often enormous, fees? Was there any law, when the troubles began, to restrain their rapacity? Did not the expençes to a plaintiff, for a small debt recovered, frequently equal, nay exceed the debt? To answer in the negative would evince great- er hardiness than sincerity. Col. Fanning and others were found guilty of extortions upon several indictments: But the extortions, you say, were so trivial that very lenient fines were imposed; a circumstance, which with you (lawyers perhaps) evinces the futility of the obnoxi- ous grievances. Those, I suppose, were extortions of office: If so, it is very probable, they were trivial, each in particular. But will not an accumulation of any, say the smallest extortions, amount to an intolerable grievance? Ought not the fine imposed by the Judge, to have been sufficient to deter the guilty from repetitions ? Was it not evident that the prosecutors acted in behalf of others, as well as themselves? Could they promise themselves any other benefit from the imposition of high fines, than a cessation of those extortions? People prove their com- plaints to be grounded in reason, and the Judge, as a patron to delinquents, dismisses them unredressed, and covered with shame and confusion. (Amazing con- nivance! which, lege ruentis acervi, may be extended at discretion.) It is not in the human heart to brook that situation. The Judge may therefore be considered, next to Col. Fanning, as a principal incendiary of the late sedition. Redress under injury is recommended by even Machiavel, that preceptor to tyrants; otherwise private revenge will operate in either a public or private manner. The following query is not to be understood as [illegible]: I ask, for information, if no part of the [illegible] a proportion to the profits of certain </div> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 2</h6> officers, over whom his guardianship of the laws gives him controul? If not, he may be an imprudent Judge, and ignorant politician; but, if yes, he is open to suspicion. To countenance, to connive, at the smallest extortion of public officers, is inexcusable in a Judge; but if those extortions be, in any respect, to his own benefit, his de- merit exceeds all censure. The causes assigned, for so general a spirit of licenti- ousness, are not grounded in probability or experience. What a crude suggestion (usually demonstrative of the badness of the heart and head of the author) that the Regulators intended to have usurped the province ! Such is a charge brought in a late paper against them. The propagation of a lie neither did nor could cause the Ca- rolina sedition. Men feel a distress before they hazard their lives and fortunes for relief; neither do they put them to hazard, but, when other methods have failed, it becomes their last remedy. You say Governor Tryon gave orders to the Attorney General to prepare indict- ments for every accusation which should be presented to him, in the very breath in which you speak of the vigour of his exertions to redress grievances. Then there were grievances, to redress which those vigorous exertions were necessary; and those orders to the Attorney Gene- ral must, it would seem, have been necessary (being numbered among the Governor's vigorous exertions) be- fore the injured could prefer indictments. Indictments preferred, the grievances made manifest, and redress denied, to what were the people to recur? Whoever is tame in that situation, is tame through coercion, and want of power. You have given a lesson to every go- vernment in America, and, I believe, yours the first government in a condition to give that lesson. There were grievances: Every Regulator, secret and avowed, will give that testimony. Your Assembly acknowledged their reality, when the number of complaints extorted a remedy, last autumn, to some of those grievances. The law was probably passed with great reluctance, and a spirit of resentment, against the principal persons who put [illegible] necessary. They followed [illegible] [illegible] [illegible] I am certain it would have been ho- nester. Nothing could be less likely to restore tranqui- lity than the measures pursued. Indeed, the restoration of tranquility was not intended. An injured people were not likely to deliver up their arms, and the objects of their love and reverence, into the hands of their enemies. Their refusal was foreseen, and, of course, their de- struction (the pretended consequence of their refusal) predetermined. It is odious to justify ill proceedings by partial laws and proclamations, framed on purpose to support those proceedings. They may have weight in the courts of Carolina, but not with the consciences of men, not with their understandings. You are severe on Leonidas for saying the Governor fired before the hour; as though it were not repeatedly published in the Gazettes, by persons, who seemed to be Anti regulators, present in the skirmish. The first ac- count in our Gazette most ridiculously trumpeted forth the glorious victory of Almance ! and was full of barba- rous exultation over the dead countrymen of the writer. That, or the next, account expressly asserted that the Governor fired a few minutes before the two hours (there said to be allowed) were expired. The reason was given; for all must be justified. Certain movements of the Regulators alarmed the Governor, and he thought fit to begin the engagement. Who could doubt the fact (seeing it came from Anti regulators ) that can rely upon Gazette authority. Do your assertions come with great- er? I believed it, and still give it entire credit. Whether true or false, your countrymen have been attacked with success, and that success you say, has happily fancified the measure. Yes, Phocion and you may add the de- vastation of their fields, the arbitrary confiscation of their estates, and the rewards held out to murders (which, if committed in this country, would have shewn the mer- cenary bravoes rewarded at the * gallows.) You may add the extortions and denial of justice, which involved the Regulators, their wives and children, in such com- plicated destruction. Phocion, upon the faith and ho- nour of a person, without a temptation to falshood, I heard, from unquestionable authority a frequent witness of what he advanced, such a relation of the lawyers fancified exorbitances in your country (antecedent to the late troubles) that I thought it no presumption to charge the representatives of Carolina with the utmost deficien- cy of duty. My surprise soon yanished: I was told the As- sembly, the abler, the more active, part consisted of law- yers and officers. Men, capable of the most unjustifiable exactions, were no less capable of leaving their constituents exposed to such exactions. When that authority, is con- firmed by the repeated testimony of persons in this colony; connected with yours, and the uniform testimony of thou- sands, whom you stile renegadoes, what are we to think * I have just thought of Collier, and the Surry venire; so retract that assertion. </div> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 3</h6> of the passing compliment Leonidas paid to the members of the law in your country, but that (however coarse his expression) it is not destitute of foundation ? Renega- do signifies a renouncer ; banditti, banished men. Those who are expelled their country by illegal exactions, un- constitutional laws, inhuman violences; those who are expelled their country despoiled of the means of sub- sistence, and against whose bosoms the sword of the assassin is invited by promise of recompence, they indeed may be called banditti; but renegadoes are rather those who have driven them to such horrid extremities, renouncers of their brethren, and of all that is amiable in humanity. Are we to close our ears to the complaints of the injured and undone? Are we to regard, as fallacious, their de- clarations, and believe none but their enemies, however preposterous their accusations ? Remain such justice to the southward of Moratue. Consciences, galled and sore, labour to compose their own agitations; but it is a pleasure to observe with what inscrutable magic supreme wisdom has coupled crime and remorse. The real crimes of the Regulators not deserving so rigid a treatment as they have met with, you labour to persuade yourselves they had views the most criminal, the most improbable. Indeed, Phocion, your colony appears terrible. With what a small exaltation of the same spirit might it soar to any enormity! Men, who have none of your party passions, whose minds are warmed with benevolence, la- ment those dreadful deeds, the consequence of oppressions, armed with public authority. Pennsylvania and Virgi- nia might have had their tragedies also. But another spirit animates those governments. I know, in adopting the sentiments I entertain, they would wear a face of absurdity, if applied to almost any other colony. But yours is not, generally speaking, upon a footing with the other colonies. Few of your consi- derable men bave seen their fathers considerable there before them. A great proportion of inhabitants [torn, illegible] of a concourse of emigrants from other countries,[torn, illegible] thither by mercenary motives, whose interests [torn, illegible] who have not as yet, had either time sufficient, [torn, illegible] [torn, illegible]to form that coalition which [torn, illegible] [torn, illegible] brethren; but to multitudes in Carolina whose terms are less endearing than elsewhere. The [illegible] is circumscribed, and few can pronounce, with glowing, heartfelt assent, that omnes charitates [illegible] una com- plectuntur. Such being the case, the Anti-regulators, no less than the Regulators, are open to a suspicion of mis- conduct; and facts alone, stated by impartiality, and good information, can determine which have been the most heinous offenders. May a wiser policy, and milder spirit, guide your fu- ture counsels, and prevail with you to restore (it may be a compliment to your new Governor) the unhappy exiles to the cultivation of their farms, and prosecution of their domestic duties. May the more than widowed wives, and orphan children, be re united to their husbands and fathers, and cease, in fine, to eat the bread of bitterness and sorrow. May the memory, and, as far as possible, the consequences of the late feuds, be forever abolished; and may wise, equal, and conscientiously executed, laws give your country greater happiness than she has yet ex- perienced. Vis consili expers mole ruit sua. Vim temperatam dii quoque provehunt In majus. Idem odêre vires Omne nesas animo moventes. As for the rest I have received no impressions, but such as my notions of justice have inspired, from relati- ons on which my judgment relied. Men of no principles eagerly seek to lull the attention of those who might de- tect their practices. I am in guard against their- artifice, and have not always believed their insinuations. I desire no man to be convinced by what has convinced me, or to adopt my opinions, of which, I can only say, that they are expressed with candour. Your writings, like those of Leonidas, are adorned with flowers of a certain rhetoric, rather too common in our American publications: A proof that we are not, as yet, sufficiently removed from barbarity. I shall receive a chaplet of those flowers from Phocion, or a sentence to the faggot from Col. Cornell, and his companions, with all imaginable satisfaction. The treatment my performance may receive, will not alter the principle by which it is dictated. If it has errors (as nothing is more common) let them be corrected. To acquire a truth, and lose an error, is a double advantage, to which no person is more sensible than ARISTIDES. Petersburg, October 20, 1771. P.S. A government has rarely been overturned by a first sedition. Happy the government which examines into, and carefully corrects the causes of the first. Ano- ther is sure to arise, the causes of the first subsisting. The same causes produce the same effects. The terror which benumbs the audacity of the turbulent, is insensibly dissi- pated The government grows secure : They with re- venge to gratify, become more deliberate, more deter- mined, and therefore more dangerous. However successful </div> <h5>Page 2</h5> <div class="“column”"> <h6>Column 1</h6> an insurrection may be in the colony where it originates, I know for a long time to come) it must yield to the united efforts of the other colonies, that is, it must give place. The insurgents will retire to the frontiers, and re- vive the days of the Italian banditti, when almost every city had banished one half of its inhabitants. In the mean time what must be the distress of that colony ! It was wise and prudent in the colonies adjoining to Carolina, to allow the fugitive Regulators an asylum. Men should never be driven to desperation; the desperate never com- pelled together. Our President's proclamation was a mere compliment to Carolina. The federal governments owe a civility to each other, but no Regulator was mo- lested in this colony. Governed by men of honour we see our laws in Virginia carried easily into execution. The authority our Magistrates derive from the law, ren- dered venerable by the influence of their private virtues, answer all the purposes of standing armies, and levies of troops. There is little occasion to arm against a people whose happiness is the aim of its government. WILLIAMSBURG, Nov. 7. To his Excellency the Right Honourable the Earl of DUNMORE, his Majesty's Lieutenant and Gover- nor General of the colony and dominion of VIRGINIA, and Vice Admiral of the same. May it please your EXCELLENCY, We his Majesty's dutiful and affectionate subjects, the merchants and traders of this colony, beg leave to approach your Lordship with our very sincere congratulations upon your safe arrival to your govern- ment and to assure you that we feel ourselves impressed with the most lively sentiments of gratitude to his Ma- jesty for his gracious attention to the welfare of this colony, in appointing a Nobleman of your distinguished rank and abilities to govern and reside among us, at a time when oar minds were deeply affected by the loss of the much lamented Lord BOTETOURT, your Lord- ship's noble predecessor. A tear is justly due to the memory of that amiable man, and most excellent Governor; but we felicitate ourselves in the pleasing prospect of happiness, from the upright- ness and wisdom of an administration, which, from a fitter colony, has received the most cordial thanks and universal applause. My Lord, the commerce of this country being cer- tainly an object of no small consequence to the British empire, we entertain no doubt of its meeting with your Excellency's warmest patronage and encouragement. We take this opportunity of declaring our inviolable fidelity to his Majesty's sacred person and government, and of our resolution to contribute every thing in our power to render your Lordship's administration agreea- ble and happy. His Lordship's A N S W E R. GENTLEMEN, [torn, illegible] with infinite satisfaction this address, ex- [torn, illegible] of your fidelity to his Majesty's person and [torn, illegible] and of your obliging [torn, illegible] [torn, illegible] commerce of this country, it shall always be an object of my greater care and attention; and it shall be my; constant study to deserve the high honour conferred on me by being appointed to succeed a Governor who had made himself so universally approved, and whose death is now so justly lamented. On Tuesday last died, in the 83d Year of his Age, the Honourable JOHN BLAIR, Esq; a Gentleman who, in the Course of his long Life, discharged the Offices of Representative, Auditor, Judge, Privy Counsellor, and President of the Colony, with unblemished Integrity. The Virtues of his private Character have been but rarely equalled and, perhaps, never yet excelled. Captain FOY is appointed Auditor, in the Room of the Honourable JOHN BLAIR, Esq; deceased. Last Tuesday, at the General Court, George Dalton, and George Gray, for horsestealing, and John King, for burglary, received sentence of death; and Colin Campbell, for maiming, was burnt in the hand. VIRGINIA, sc. By his Excellency JOHN Earl of DUNMORE, his Majesty's Lieutenant and Governor General of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia, and Vice Admiral of the same, A PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS complaint has been made to me, upon oath, by Benjamin Clark of the county of Lu- nenburg, that Daniel Mackey, of the said county, did, some time in the year 1770, maliciously bite off one of the ears of the said Benjamin, and otherwise barba- rously maim him, for which offence he was examined be- fore a Magistrate, and while a recognizance of bail was making out for his appearance at court, to undergo an examination for the said offence, he found means to make his escape, appeared not at the court appointed for the purpose, nor has yet surrendered himself, but goes armed against all legal authority, and in defiance of an escape warrant, which has been granted for apprehend- ing him: I have therefore thought fit, by and with the consent and advice of his Majesty's Council, to issue this proclamation, in his Majesty's name, hereby offering a reward of TEN POUNDS to any person, who shall ap- prehend and bring to justice the said Daniel Mackey. And I do also require all officers, both civil and military, and all other his Majesty's subjects, within this dominion, to be aiding and assisting herein, as they shall answer the contrary at their peril. Given under my hand, at Williamsburg, this 6th day of November, 1771, and in the twelfth year of his Majesty's reign. DUNMORE.

They had with them two muskets, and two small books, in one of which is wrote Elijah Worden.

I am to request of you, Mr. Rind, that you will give me an opportunity of refuting their charge in a manner equally public with that by which it has been intruded on your readers; I declare that I have not imported, directly or indirectly, one article contrary to the association of this colony, since the same was entered into in June, 1770. It follows, therefore, that the allegations of the said Gentlemen, in as far as they relate to me, as one of the merchants in Dumfries, are unjust, illiberal, and contrary to truth. I am, Sir, your most humble servant, JOHN RIDDELL. L O N D O N. ON the 17th of May last dies, at Stanmore, in Middlesex, the Right Honourable Lady TRYON, mother of his Excellency William Tryon, now Gover- nor of New York, and also mother of the Honourable Miss Tryon, one of the Maids of Honour to the Queen. [The deceased Lady Tryon was one of the daughters of Robert, Earl of Ferrers, who was the Master of the House, and Steward of the Household, to Catharine Queen con- sort to King Charles the Second; and who at his pri- late expense, raised the regiment called the King’s or<br<8th regiment, in 1685. He resigned it the very next, year, on discovering that King James the Second had de signs unfriendly to the protestant religion, and the laws liberties of England. The Duke of Berwick then [torn, illegible] the command and the Earl retired from business. He was afterwards called to the Privy Council, born by King William, and Queen Anne, but could not be per- shaded to accept of any public employment. La- dy Mary married Charles Tryon, Esq; of Bullwick, ia Northamptonshire, and being adorned with every amiable quality becoming her noble birth, and connexions, she acquired universal esteem, and died in an advanced age, after a life devoted to those tender and benevolent offices, which do honour to human nature.] P H I L A D E L P H I A, August 1. To the P U B L I C. EVERY inhabitant of Pennsylvania must observe, with pleasure, the progress we make in this pro- Vince towards perfection in useful arts, and the general encouragement that is given to genius and industry by all ranks of men. It will be recorded, to the honor of Pennsylvania, that an infant colony, scarcely risen on hundred years from the rude vestiges of nature, has pro- diced men who shine in the learned and polite arts amounts the first characters of the present age. The world is already indebted to this province for one of the most useful mathematical instruments that has ever been invented; for the most curious piece of astronomical<br<mechanism, and for discoveries in natural philosophy of singular importance to mankind. It would not be very to fix on the particular soil or climate, which is best fitted by nature for the cultivation of liberal arts; but it will never be disputed that liberty, in every region, is the genuine parent of industry and learning; under her wings they are always found to thrive. In all probili- ty the rapid progress of arts in this province, should be attributed to the falutary influence of our laws, and the perfect liberty which we enjoy, rather than to any acci- dental concurrence of favourable incidents. The friends of liberty are ever found to be the first persons who pro- mote works of genius by their countenance and fortunes. No affront can be intended to any particular province, when it is remarked that the Assembly of Pennsylvania was the only public body on the continent, that on a lat occasion, expended a considerable sum of money infor their accuracy and perfection, would have done are- dit to any state in Europe. The genteel encouragement they have since given to a rising genius for his elegant piece of philosophical mechanism, is another proof of their determination to support the growing reputation of this province. It is sincere to be lamented that the mechanic arts and manufactures cannot be encouraged by our legislature with the same propriety that they promote the liberal arts and sciences; but it happens somehow, that our Mother country apprehends she has a right to manufacture every article we consume, except bread and meat; our very drink is to come through her hands, or pay to her support; in these circumstances it cannot be doubted, that she would take great and insuperable at any colony legislatures that should attempt to encourage domestic manufactures; the smallest proof of her resentment that might be expected is the she would </div> <div class="“column”"> <h6>Column 2</h6> disable them as she did the New York Assembly, on a different occasion, from doing any bushels[?] till they had reversed that vote. Were it not for this impediment, we might expect to see the mechanic arts soon arrive at great perfection in this province; they have already made a very promising appearance. Several persons have been found willing to risqué their fortune on the event, and the public, in general, has [worn, illegible]desire to promote their undertakings. Every person [worn, illegible] pleased with the [worn, illegible] Wtiegel, who has erected the first [worn, illegible] in America [?] for making [torn, illegible ] glass. [torn, illegible] have already seen that work brought to perfection. De- canters, wine glasses, & c. Are now manufactured in this province, equal in which [torn, illegible] transparency, and figure, to those which are [torn, illegible] pe. That many thousand pounds [torn, illegible]to Pennsylvania by this [torn, illegible] will read [torn, illegible] be granted. When we [torn, illegible] the extensive consumption of glass, and the great [torn, illegible]that commodity it will hardly be disputed that [torn, illegible] has some claim to a public reward, who had [torn,illegible] and fortitude to risqué his estate in erecting such a manufacture, by which the province will presently save twenty or thirty thousand pounds per annum. Ano- ther manufac [worn, illegible] has been erected of similar importance to the public, though, we are told that the work is more curious, more hazardous, and much more expensive. Glass has long been manufactured in Great-Britain and Ireland in the utmost perfection but china ware is the production of a foreign country, which the English have only attempted to imitate within these few years. It has been observed as characteristic of the English nation, that they take up the inventions of other people, generally bring them to greater perfection than the in- ventors were able to do. How far this may hold good in the article of china, must be reserved to the decision of time; but from the progress they have made, they bid fair to overtake their originals in a few years, if the factories, laborers, and all, should not be swallowed up in the vortex of an East-India company. The Manufacture of china ware in this province cer- tainly deserved the serious attention of every man who prays for the happiness of his fellow subjects, or that the very semblance of liberty may be handed down to poste- rity I would [torn, illegible] on this subject; I would not have it suppe [torn, illegible]that [torn, illegible] naturally connect- ed with chine ware, or even with tea, its gen [torn,illegible] at- tenant; I sincerely wish they were both, with all their concomitant plagues, in the bottom of the Red Sea; but we must consider matters as they are, and try to make the best of them, rather than hope for a perfect revoluti- on. The use of china is introduced, and well established. Custom has rendered it somehow necessary. We must and will have it, whatever be the consequence. No less than fifteen thousand pounds worth of china has been imported into this province since the first of April last. If this clay be paid for there are fifteen thousand pounds of gold and silver less in the province than we should have had, if the same ware had not been imported, but manufactured amongst us. Add to this annually, the immense sums that are sent away for every species of dry goods, & c and the amount will be very alarming. No man of common sense will venture to say that the pro-Vince can long endure such enormous taxes. Everythingthat is alienable must soon change its owner; the proper- ty will be transferred to the other [folded, illegible] the Atlantic. We must certainly investigate some method of saving cash> We must manufacture some things for ourselves. No manufactures are so ill fitted for exportation as glass and china. None can be made with more propriety at home. These we should make, and many things besides, else we shall soon be a ruined people. Our Mother country has left no measures untried, which may crush our ma- nufactures, check the spirit of patriotism, and keep us in the chains of subjection. Obsta princip is her maxim; she would nip us in the bud. The china manufactory has supplies us with a cogent proof of this melancholy fact. Every importer of china knows, and most retail purchasers have observed, with pleasure, that the price of china is fallen five shillings in the pound since the commencement of a china factory in this place; the natural consequence of this change should be a full stop to the American manufactory, and a full stop it must have made, had not the spirit of liberty taken a just alarm at this insidious scheme. Few men of large fortunes engage in new enterprises. These are commonly left to the young adventurer, who has not so much to lose. Such persons often, at the expense of all they possess, lay the foundation for improvements, which become a national advan- tase. They are sure of being praised by posterity, but have frequently the fate of being deserted by their co- temporaries. We are apt to discourage new inventions, and home manufactures, because they are not quite so cheap, or not yet quite so good, as ancient or foreign, provided they were equal in quality and price; until that time he counts it his duty to buy at the cheapest shop. This any often puts me in mind of a certain islander, who could never consent that his son should go into the water till he had learned to swim. If we do not encourage imperfect works, we shall never get per feet ones. Little do such persons consider that by per- chasing pretty and cheap foreign manufactures, we shall, </div> <div class="“column”"> <h6>Column 3</h6> in a little time have nothing left where with to buy good of any kind. I should not commend the propriety and [torn, illegible] virtue of supporting the manufacture in question, through [torn, illegible] the contracted view of saving the sum of two or the [torn, illegible] pounds per annum. This very manufacture may [torn, illegible] become the means of saving the sum of two or the [torn, illegible] hundred thousand pounds per annum to ourselves, [torn, illegible] our neighbors. The success of one adventure [torn,illegible]>br>fails to give motion [worn, illegible] a number, and the [torn, illegible] [fold, illegible] enterprise, has [torn, illegible] [worn, illegible] the public ardor for a series of years, [torn, illegible] [worn, illegible] India company would avail themselves of the [torn, illegible] bles of humanity, if they could demolish one [torn, illegible] manufacture, they would certainly clip twenty [torn illegible] from the growth of American improvements, and [torn, illegible] they lost I the present and following year, by lo [torn, illegible] their prices, they would gain in succeeding years [torn, illegible] sufficient interest. We should then wish we had [torn, illegible] in the neighborhood, where we might, like [torn, illegible] tians, when our money was all gone, be able t [torn, illegible] the necessary articles in barter for our produce [torn, illegible] effects; but we should wish in vain. One ho [torn, illegible] lished in a fruitless enterprise, would be set [torn, illegible] mark to admonish the cautious passenger to [torn, illegible] of American manufactures, and we should fa [torn, illegible] in the ancient channel, till, deprived of ever[torn, illegible] is desirable to rational beings, we sunk do [torn, illegible] most wretched state of indigence and servitude [torn, illegible] I consider the plausible attempt that has[torn, illegible] lead us aside from our true interest, und [torn, illegible] of consulting our profit and pleasure, and w [torn, illegible] the general efforts that are made, notwithstanding [torn, illegible] these schemes, to support the spirit of us [torn, illegible] men’s in this province, I cannot help [torn, illegible] myself that I was born in a colony, which [torn, illegible] probability, be the best retreat of liberty.

My Lords and Gentlemen, I CANNOT put an end to this session of Parliament without returning you my sincerest thanks for the great dispatch which you have given to the public business The many good laws which have now received the Royal assent, are the most honorable proofs of the faith- fun performance of your important duty, and of your successful solicitude for the happiness of your country. In the short interval between this and the next meet- ing of Parliament, you will consider what may be fur- ther done to promote the welfare and property of this kingdom.

Greatly to the honour of government, we hear it has been intimated to all the foreign Ministers, that, as both Houses of Parliament has resigned the privilege of pro- testing their servants in cases of debt, their Excellences are no longer to expect that indulgence for their train, Secretary and all, must for the future, be open to the just demands of their creditors. Last Tuesday died Christopher Smart, M. A. of Pembroke college, Cambridge. This Gentleman was distinguished for his poetical abilities. The five poems which he was the succeeding candidate under the [torn, illegible] of Mr. Seaton, testify his powers as a writer.

Mr. de Busson, in his natural history, affirms, that in Paris, and its [torn, illegible] one half of the children that are born are [torn, illegible] at the end of eight years. What an alarming difference ! How proper a subject for disqui- sition were this for then Royal academy of Sciences! But, alas! How frightfully are we, of this city, concerned to prevent the monstrous mismanagement of children, so ge- nearly, so fatally, prevailing here, that Simpson [torn, illegible] asserts, after a most exact and diligent examination, that not above half the children born in London ever arrive at the age of three years and six months! The death of General Wolfe, a picture at the exhibi- bition of the Royal Academy by Mr. West, is said to be purchased by Lord Grosvenor for 600 guineas, a circumstance highly honorable to the British artists. [Mr. West is a native of Pennsylvania] Lord Chatham lately went to the exhibition of pictures, at the Royal Academy in Pall-Mall, on purpose to see Mr. West’s celebrated picture of General Wolfe’s death; his Lordship placed himself before the piece for a considerable time, and examined it with great atten- sion; upon retiring, he pronounced it well executed upon the whole, but thought there was too much deject- sion not only in the dying hero’s face, but in the faces of the surrounding officers, who he said [torn, illegible] Englishmen, should forget all traces of private misfortunes, when they had so gloriously conquered for the country. Many conjectures are formed among the seafaring part of the community, of the most probably cause of the loss of the Aurora; the major part of whom seem to think she must have been det [torn, illegible] by taking fire at sea.

This Gentleman had such a facility in acquiring languages, that he could converse in all the European; read and wrote several of them; understood the Turkish, and spoke Arabic linguist to this court, to which he had been appointed some little time before his departure on that voyage. Her Majesty’s delivery was so sudden, that there was not time to provide any of the great officers of state usually present on such occasions. Dr. Hunter and some German Ladies only were present. When some of the Livery met at the Paul’s Head, the first objection made by Mr. Oliver’s friends to the election of Alderman Wilkes to the office of sheriff was, that he would be burthensome to his colleague. To remove this objection Mr. Manning cleared, that he had authority to say that security to say that security equal to Mr. Oliver’s fortune would be given, if required. The next objection was, tat nobody would stand with him. Mr. Man- Ning declared, that Mr. Bull would accept the office, if he was pitched upon by the Livery. The last ob section was, that such a step would prove injurious to the Electors of Middlesex, and to the great constituti onal cause, which has so long engaged the attention of the nation. But it was soon given up. Laughlin M’Lean, Esq; is appointed to superintend the Lazarettos for quarantine at the different ports, with a salary of 1000l. Per ann.

It is said Mr. M’Lean, late member for Arundel, will shortly far off for America, to officiate personally in the place he enjoys under government there. Dublin, May 21. From Ballington bay, in the county of Wicklow, we learn that a most fatal accident lately happened there through the carelessness of a boy: A woman and her daughter being unwell, the boy was dispatched to an apothecary’s at some distance off, for some flour of brimstone, at the same time a neighbor desired him to bring him some ratsbane; these ingredients were carefully delivered by the apothecary to the boy, who by mistake, gave the ratsbane to the woman instead of the brimstone; the consequence of which was, that the mother and daughter shortly after expired by the effects of this poison and another daughter, who was big with child, miscarried at seeing her mother and sister dying so untimely, and is not expected to survive many days CHARLESTOWNE, (S. Carolina) June 10. Extract of letter from London, April 2 ”The account of the famine in India is greatly ex- aggregated.

N E W-Y O R K, August 1. We hear that one Hopkins, *a Colonel in the French service, has lately been promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, and has obtained the government of the Cayes, on the southern part of Hispaniola, in the room of the Chevalier d’Argousse, who is gone to Europe. *He is a native of Maryland, well known in this city, and formerly was one of the Queen’s rangers in America, soon after which he went into the French service, where he has continued to since. We have advice from Stratfield in Connecticut, that on Sunday last the 28th of July, in time of Divine service the steeple of the meeting house in that place, was struck and much shattered with lightening, which at the same time gave a great shock to most of the Congre- gation and struck many of them down; but they all recovered, except [torn, illegible] Burr, [torn, illegible] and Mr. Da[torn, illegible] Shearman , who were instantaneously killed. It is said Mrs Wright, with the assistance of her sister, Mrs. Wells, of Philadelphia, has been so assiduous in repairing the damage done to the wax work by the late fire in her house, that the defect is not only supplied by new pieces, the subjects of which are interesting and well chosen, but they are executed with superior skill and judgment, as the performers have improved by practice and experience: To both these extraordinary geniuses, may, without impropriety, be applied what Addison says of Kneller, a little varied, By Heav’n and nature, not a master taught, They give to nature, passion, life and thought.

The following letter, on the method of preserving PEACH TREES from the damage done them by the WORM, was communicated to the last meeting of the American Philosophical Society, by a Gentleman of West Jersey. I have included a brief account of my observations on the worm and fly, so destructive to the peach trees. For several years, my peach trees having been destroy- ed, as I apprehended, by these insects, I determined, if possible, to find out their time and manner of breeding. I therefore in in the month of June, 1767, took one of the these worms out of peach tree, and put it into a phial stopping it, so as to keep it without stifling, but this one died in a few days—I continued putting them them in for se-Vera weeks; at length one of them spun itself [torn, illegible] the manner of a silk worm; I then put in two more, which did in like manner. They remained thus until the latter end of July, or beginning of August, when they came out flies, something resembling a blue wasp ; this I concluded was the time of their copulating and laying their eggs in the trees, to prevent which, I tried tarring such tress as were almost dying, their leaves being turned yellow, the fruit ripening, and falling off, at not a third part of the usual size. It was about the first of August when I tarred the trees in the following manner; I took raw tar, and with a small brush payed the tree to about a foot high from the ground, and on the ground about three inches from he tree all round, taking care to leave no spot uncovered in that space. This method I found answered the purpose beyond ex- peculation; for the next summer my trees flourished, and grew luxuriantly; I have repeated the experiment every year since, and my trees have flourished, grown and pro- diced fruit as plentifully as if those insects had never been in the country.

TO THE AMERICAN WORLD THE inhabitants of this continent have now an easy and advantageous opportunity of essentially establish- ing livery manufactures int eh British colonies, at mode- rate prices, calculated for the meridian, the establishment of which will absolutely and eventually produce mental improvement and commercial expansion, with the additional recommendation of positively saving thousands of pounds to and [torn,illegible] the inhabitants of the British empire in America. This—the importation of one thou- sand sets of Blackstone’s Commentaries manufactured in Europe at ten pounds per set is sending very near ten thousand pounds across the great Atlantic Ocean. Where- as—One thousand sets, manufactured in America, and sold at the small price of three pounds per set, is an actual saving of seven thousand pounds to the purchasers, and the identical three thousand pounds, which is laid out for our own manufactures, is still retained in the country, being distributed among manufacturers and traders, whose residence upon the continent of course causeth the money to circulate from neighbor to neighbor, and by circla- sion in America there is a great probability of its revolv- ing to the very hands from which it originally migrated.

Mr. Rind, OBSERVING a publication in your papers from Fauquier, addressed to Peyton Randolph, Esq; moderator, and signed by the committee cho- sen by the associators of that county, I think it incumbent upon me, in justification of my own character to answer it so far as regards myself. It is with great concern I observe those Gentlemen cast- ing so general and severe a reflection, to insure the reputa- tions of the merchants in which they view the trading people in this colony. Why the merchants should be regarded in so different a light in this country from other states, is a matter which those Gentlemen have not thought proper to declare, and would do well to consider. I am however far from imagining that their opinion in this [torn,illegible]ct till be the sentiments of the people of this colony [torn,illegible] general, and must think the warmth they have shown on this occasion will not add much to the credit of their performance. It is not my intention to examine here into he conduct of other associators, or of committees. I only mean to exculpate myself from so violent, and, give me leave to say, so unjust an attack, by assuring the public that there are only 16 dozen of gloves, value 12|. 14[torn,illegible] 3d. In my last importation (an oversight when I ordered my goods) contrary to the association, and that it was my resolution to adhere in every particular to the intention and spirit of that general engagement.

The situation healthful and agreeable. The terms for each patient TWO PISTOLES for inoculation, and 20s a week for board. He flatters himself that his experience in Europe, and his repeated success in inoculating in this county, will render any account of his being regularly qualified, un- necessary. To these he chooses to appear, rather than speak confidently of himself. Patients may depend upon every necessary accommoda- sion; likewise the greatest care and tenderness; Nd need not be under any apprehension of confinement. JOHN M’DONALD. Maryland, August 15, 1770.

The price (as before) TWO PISTOLES, and twenty-five shillings per week for board. The sickness is really trifling, and the confinement none. They may safely return to their homes in 21 days. Those that choose to come, are re- quested not to alter their diet, and to give timely notice, that necessary care may be taken to prevent their being disappointed. NEGROES will be insured at five per- centcent. The subscribe declared he has inoculated upwards of eight thousand, and has lost but seventeen, and they died more from obstinacy and a too great indulgence, than from the small-pox.

THE VIRGINIA GAZETTE, Open to ALL PARTIES, but Influenced By NONE. <div class="column"> <h6>Column 1</h6> MONITOR XII. My dear Countrymen, I HAVE said before you a faithful account of the state of our affairs in Great-Britain; and of the temper of the present Ministry. We see it too glaringly displayed in the King's speech, and the addresses in answer to it, in the resolu- tions of both Houses concerning Boston, with the address and answer. They are too expressive to re- quire any comment; they are written in blood, and cannot be misunderstood. It is true they aim at one colony, only, but this artifice surely cannot deceive you, nor withhold you from considering every colony interested in the sufferings of one for a common cause. Divide and tyrannize is the maxim; to subdue one at a time is the surest and most facile way to crush all. With such pregnant proofs before you, of a perma- nent and complete subversion of your liberties, you cannot, without infatuation, listen to those who would persuade you, that if you demean yourselves into acquiescence and quiet, this oppressive duty-act will be repealed, and every grievance redressed. But to be convinced how futile this expectation is, look only upon the despotic circle with which they have already encompassed our liberties, The Par- liament are to raise a revenue upon us without our consent; the Commissioners are to see it collected; the Admiralty Courts are to try all revenue causes; whoever a Governor shall accuse of treason is to be sent to Britain for his trial, or rather, as his Majesty's most gracious answer has it, “ to be brought to con- dign punishment;” the Governors, Counsellors and Judges, are appointed by the King, and exist during his pleasure; and to render them all rigorus in [torn, illegible] the British Parliament, over which we have no earth- ly restraint, with which, no possible connection. Is trial by jury an essential privilege; of freemen, ne- cessary to a due dispensation of justice, and the secu- rity of the subject? This is absolutely wrested from us by the Admiralty Courts, in which one Judge, ap- pointed by the Crown during pleasure, and paid out of the condemnation money, if it be sufficient, de- termines between the King and the subject. Are our lives dear to us? Every Governor may devote whom he pleases, by charging him with treason, and send- ing him to England, where he will be tried, if hap- pily this farce be deemed necessary to precede the tragedy of execution, by a jury of strangers infected with the most violent prejudice. The Commissioners of the Customs only, are vested with the alarming powers of excise, in forcing open, or ordering to be forced, any man's locks. Deprived thus of the privilege of giving or keeping our money, the executive and judicial powers, as in- dependent of the people as they are absolutely de- pendent on the King; the trial by jury, that great bulwark of safety in life and estate, taken from us; our houses, closets, cabinets, &c. laid open to the will and pleasure of the Commissioners, or the lowest servant belonging to the revenue; and all these main- tained by us without our consent; what remains to make our slavery compleat? Nothing but our acqui- escence and submission. What can save us from this dreadful bondage? Nothing but an unanimous, de- termined, permanent opposition. How this is to be conducted is the next question, and it may be very shortly discussed. We have peti- tioned, reasoned and remonstrated in vain ; let us try the next gentle method of admonishing Great-Bri- tain, and recalling her to reason and justice, that is, to desist from the consumption of her manufactures, and supplying her with those raw materials, from which her trade, manufacturers, merchants and revenue, receive great profits, such as tobacco, tar, pitch, hemp, flax seed, potash, &c. Instead of ex- pending our labour on these, let us raise grain, pro- visions, and all materials for manufactures; in the manufacturing of which, the rest of our labour may be employed. Some temporary loss and inconveni- ence will arise from so great a change; but the bene- fits which will flow from it are manifold, great, and lasting. It will save us from a slavery otherwise ine- vitable; the yoke is before us, the chains are prepa- </div> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 2</h6> red, there is no alternative but tamely to put them on, or vigorously endeavour to make them drop from the enervated hands of our oppressors. He who would expose himself and his posterity to the hateful insults of petty authority, he who would devote his life and fortunes to the arbitrary will of Governors, Com- missioners, Judges, Custom-house Officers, Minions and Parasites, he who would see the whole people of this continent governed without exception by laws to which they give no consent, and their once honoura- ble and respected Assemblies humiliated to mere cor- porations; let him patiently resign himself to the shackles which are forged for him, and wonderfully calculated to secure these fatal consequences. But when the galling chain sits heavy on him, when the calamities of which slavery is banefully prolific, press hard and sore upon him, in that miserable state fleeced, despised, injured and insulted, let him perse- vere in his virtue of resignation, nor be tempted to execrate his miserable existence, or accelerate, in wish, the slave's and wretch's last resource, the hand of death. To render opposition effectual, unanimity is greatly requisite. How necessary an union and harmony among ourselves are to the maintenance of our most valuable rights, may be drawn not only from reason, but from the great apprehension entertained of it by those who would subvert them, 'Twas therefore that the congress at New-York, was so loudly ex- claimed against by the Grenvillian party, and that the circular letter at Boston, was such an alarming measure at home, that every art of soothing, every influence of threats, were used by my Lord Hillsbo- rough to render it abortive. In pursuance of the old [torn, illegible] to fear from [torn, illegible], nothing to expect but insult, injury and oppression. And from these, nothing can relieve us, but a determined, unanimous, permanent opposition. Q U E B E C, April 27. M O N D A Y night the ice in the great river St. Lawrence broke up before this city, &c. Charlestown, S. Carolina, April 10. We learn from North-Carolina, that the people in that province who stile themselves Regulators have again committed sundry outrages. They tied the sheriff of Orange county to a tree, and gave him five hundred lashes, which almost made an end of him ; they likewise obliged him to eat the writ they found in his possession, and have given notice, that whoe- ver attempts to serve any process civil or criminal will meet with the same treatment; they denounce double vengeance against any person who shall pre- sume to collect or demand taxes of any kind, being determined to pay none. His Excellency Governor Tryon, who was just setting out on a visit to this pro- vince, as formerly mentioned, with several other Gentlemen, on Friday last received an account of those disturbances, which determined his Excellency to put off his journey, and take the most vigorous and effectual measures for repressing and bringing to reason such daring and turbulent spirits. PHILADELPHIA, May 18. Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in London, February 6, 1769. " How long we may be permitted to carry on a friendly communication, will become a question, as the sword of civil war seems ready to start from the scabbard, and eager to be imbrued in brother's blood. Our Ministry, who, by the power of giving places and pensions, have secured a majority in both Houses of Parliament, are determined to carry their point against the freedom of America, and by that means to pave the way for an attack on our constitution ; and will spare no blood or treasure (except their own) to effect this infamous purpose; nor do I see, at present, any thing to prevent it, but a popular commotion, which, indeed, our people seem ripe for, and want only a few able leaders; whether Wilkes will prove one, I cannot determine, but thus far I can assure you, that, setting aside all prejudices and popular clamour against his former irregularities, </div> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 3</h6> we must acknowledge, that he has done and suffered more for the cause of liberty, than any patriot in our time; and in all his latter conduct, he has been so steady, and so consistent, that it has gained him uni- versal applause. I say universal, for he is not only idolized by the mob, but caressed and supported by a great majority of sensible thinking men in this city, and the counties around it. “Your memorial from Philadelphia will come to nothing, at least I fear so. I attended the meeting of the merchants and manufacturers, and we chose a respectable committee to wait on the Ministry; but that could be expected from men who had already taken their party; and who have not the least idea of justice or liberty.” Extract of another letter from the same Gentleman, March 4, 1769. " Since the account I gave you in my last, of your Philadelphia memorial, I find that all my suggesti- ons are confirmed, and that no relief is to be expected for our colonies. I understand that your province will, immediately on this news, follow the example of Boston, and New-York, and stop the importation of European goods; this plan, if universal, might have some effect, but if partial, will only tend to your own prejudice, and inflame measures still more. In a letter from London, of March 6, there is the following paragraph. I am persuaded that I shewed some judgment in my last letter, when I ventured to pronounce, that this country would know too well the value of the colonies, to suffer these unhappy differences that have [torn, illegible] [torn, illegible] list, to their [torn, illegible] far as I can learn, they are however likely to continue in power, and perhaps for this reason, that, in the present embroil- ed state of affairs, no other set are found desperate enough to undertake it after them.” Extract of a letter from London, March 9. “ Nothing has transpired respecting public affairs since the letter to your committee; should any favour- able opportunity present, you may depend on our ut- most endeavours for the good of America; and should the merchants in your province withhold having goods from us, we hope they will avoid any tumultuous proceedings, and then it cannot be construed in your disfavour, as in the other provinces.” Extract of a letter from London, March 11. " I am apt to imagine, that the present session of Parliament will wear away, without being marked by any material event ; for they are expected to break up soon after the Easter holidays. They have alrea- dy settled with the East-India Company; they have voted their supremacy over the colonies, and there I fancy this matter will stick till next year ; they have given the King 513,5001. to pay his civil list debts; and as for Wilkes, nothing remains but to reject him when he is re-chosen, and so the county must be con- tent with one member for the rest of this Parliament. It may happen, however, that if any person is put up against him, that person, whoever he is, and howe- ver great his minority upon the poll, will be received by the House for the sitting member. But, disre- garding every thing relating to Wilkes, and every thing else, I consider our difference with North- America, as the most material affair now depending. No steps are yet taken, or even talked of, to heal the breach, though it be every day growing wider. Much will depend upon the effect this will have on our manufacturers during the course of next summer. You seem determined to be frugal, and to cease from the further importation of English goods, as much as possible; and here they seem at a loss how to recede from the plan of conduct already adopted I am really sorry I cannot give you some more material intelligence; but things are so oddly circumstanced, that there is no writing satisfactorily upon the subject just now. Lord Chatham, it was expected, would have stept forward this session, but it seems his time is not yet come. He is now in pretty good health. George Grenville, though he hath, upon some occasions, en- deavoured to thwart the Ministry, in the House has been, upon the whole, very quiet; and as the ad </div> <h5>Page 2</h5> <div class="“column”"> <h6>Column 1</h6> ministration have a considerable majority on their side, I do not imagine there is much reason to expect any change soon. Indeed we have hardly any to choose, unless those who have already been tried to little pur- pose.” Capt. Rollins, in 38 days from the Muskito shore, informs that three days after he sailed he came a- cross the wreck of a ship overset, about 300 tons burthen, which he supposed bad been ashore on some of the keys, and drifted off again, as her bottom was much damaged. She had a figure head and large quarter galleries, appeared to be American built, and bad staves between decks; but the sea running very high, he could not learn farther particulars. Extract from the Grenada Gazette, Feb. 25. “On the 17th instant a French smuggling schooner from Martinico, commanded by Capt. Leblane, and mounting 10 swivel guns, with 18 men, was taken and brought into this port by Capt. Campbell, in the customhouse schooner the Burke, of 8 swivel guns and 12 men, 5 of whom were Negroes, after a desperate, engagement, in which the French lost their Captain, gunner, and one man, and had se- veral wounded, one of whom is since dead. Captain Campbell's mate, and two men were wounded; the former died on the Sunday following, but the other two, it is expected, will recover. The bravery and good conduct of Capt. Campbell, in this little though well fought combat, as well as his great humanity to the vanquished, deserve the highest applause; and in justice to Mr. Macdonald, who happened to be on board, we cannot omit mentioning that he gallantly seconded the efforts of the Captain and crew, and contributed, in no small measure, to the success of the day.” Charlestown, S. Carolina, May 2. Within the course of a year upwards of 20,000l. has been paid, out of the treasury here, as bounty money on hemp. ANNAPOLIS, May 25. Tuesday the 20th of June next is appointed for a meeting here of Gentlemen, from the several coun- ties, to consider of resolutions against the future im- portation of goods; and each county in the province is entreated to send four of its inhabitants, by which it is hoped an agreement may be formed on mutual confidence, and with entire unanimity. WILLIAMSBURG, June 8. RICHMOND county, May 26, 1769. On Wednesday last, the 24th of this instant, about four in the morning, died, at his house in this county, JOHN WOODBRIDGE, Esq; in the 63d year of his age, after a most painful illness, which he bore with truly christian fortitude and re- [torn, illegible] was nigh at hand, yet would he not forsake the cause in which he had been forced to embark, but like a valiant soldier, gallantly fell in support of his country's liberty. He was taken with convul- sive symptoms in the House on that memorable day when the last resolves, so important to all Ame- rica, were entered into. It was with the greatest difficulty he could (after he left the House) get to his lodgings. However, his great resolution, for which he was ever remarkable, did enable him, with the assistance of his friends, to get into his own house the Sunday evening before he departed; where, amidst a crowd of weeping friends, he stea- dily and undauntedly changed his mortality for im- mortality. He was a christian, and as such was truly chari- table. His door stood always open, willing to re- ceive the poor and needy. His ears were always open to their complaints, and his generous heart ever ready to relieve their wants. His neighbours have lost in him a true friend and trusty servant. He was to them both counsellor and physician. He was a man, (and what every one who knew him can testify) an honest good man. His enemies (if such a man could have any) must acknowledge, his virtues were many and very great. His friends must allow he had some failings, just enough to shew we need not expect perfection in man, for if such a thing could have been, it would have been found in him. RICHMOND county, May 26, 1769. On Wednesday last, died in an advanced age, JOHN WOODBRIDGE, Esq; who has had the honour to represent the county of Richmond, in Gene- ral Assembly, for upwards of thirty years successively. So much did the people rely on his integrity and a- bilities, that, during this period, be has been twice compelled by the unanimous voice of the electors to take upon him that important trust, though absent on the occasion, To do justice to his memory might defy the most extravagant epitaph. As a christian, he was chari- </div> <div class="column"> <h6>Column 2</h6> tabie ;* as a man, he was humane, beneficent, affa- ble; a counsellor and physician to the poor, and to others who asked his advice; as a Representative, he was ever watchful of the interest of his constitu- ents. In him, alas ! has every virtue lost a zealous friend. * Doctor Sherlock tells us, that charity is the only word ibat can express the character, the temper, or the duty of a disciple of the gospel. In short, it is the fulfilling of the law. We are informed from North-Carolina, that the Assembly of that province is dissolved. The Baltimore, Capt.

The managers hope, that the Gentlemen who have been kind enough to take tickets to dispose of, will please to account for them by the first day of September next, at the latest; and those who have had tickets on credit, are requested to pay for them by that time, as the numbers and prizes are to be then rolled up and prepared for drawing. The managers are, as formerly; they have given bond for the due discharge of their duty, and are to act upon oath; the money is to be de- posited with a treasurer on the day of drawing, and any fortunate adventurer may then have his money upon producing his ticket to such treasurer, who will attend to pay off the prizes.
