We are assured from good authority, that the States of
New Hampshire, Maffachufets-Bay, Rhode-Illand, Con
nedicut and New York, have lately met in Convention
at Hartford, for the purpose of considering of a general
.regulation of prices, which is considered by them as prac
ticable under the late resolution of Congress for flopping
the presses and procuring supplies by regular and steady
taxation. They have proposed to the federal States, as
far as Virginia inclusive, to meet in a General Conven
tion for the above purpose, and to confider of other mea
sures for the restoration of public credit, in this city, 011
the firft Wednesday in January next—From the late cir
cular letter sent by the State of New-Jersey, there is lit
tle doubt but that State will accede to the proposition 1 ^
and it is most probable Commiflioners will be appointed
from this State, which will comprehend seven States of
the Union.
