on Application, to give Liberty of a Town’s Meet

HARTFORD, August 23.
On the Evening of the \gtb Infant departed this Life,
after 2^ Days severe Exercise with a Fever, the atniabU
Consort of Capt. Edward Bulkl ey, of Wethersfield
Rocky-Hill, in the zbth Tear of her Aga. She was the
only CbildofMr. Oliver. Pomeroy f that Placet
was most agreeably fettled in Life, under the fame PAof
•etith her Parents; was truly a most agreeable Psrfon ;
•I dutiful and pleasant Child, an amiable and worthy
Geffert, a. tender and affectionate Parent, and filled every
Station in which Jhe ailed in a Manner that did Honor to
Hr Sex, and was well wot 1 fby the Imitation of her Ac
^ssntance. She was early admitted a Member of the
Giexxeh in that Place, and appeared io pay a sacred Re
gard to Religion. She was remarkably Kind and Bene
noslentip the poor and distressed, and herein exhibited in a
penAteer Mariner the Evidences if pure and undefiled Re-
Efyen. She isjuftly lamented by all her Acquaintance j
She has left cue little Daughter about 2 Tears old, the
•sly furffiving Issue of her Father'i Faniily. She has
as the mq/t Jiriking Demcnft ration, that neither the
height of bodily or mental Accomplifbments, nor the most
agreeable Situation in Life, nor even the most raised Ex
pectations of our Friends, can afford any Security agaifft
the inexorable Hand of Death.

The canxmitte paffionntely req«eft the indulgence
®f their numerous correspondents in tlie many ref
pe&able towns in thia province, whose letters remain
unanswered. Their contents are intereftiag, and
the composition of a great majority of them truly
astonishing ; but the number so great, that besides
the bufmefs of absolute necessity the very reading of
them nearly take up the whole of their time. Let
the Nettleham Baronet now please to determine
which party in this continent has the greatest appear
ance of an expiring faction !
Printed advertisements were dispersed through the
province of Georgia to warn a gen eral meeting of the
inhabitants at Savannah about the latter end of
July, to consult on proper measures to defeat the
efforts of despotism to enslave America.
Last Monday week when the Hon. Isaac Royally
Esq; was informed by the Governor, that he was
appointed by his Majesty’s Mandamus, to be one
of his Majesty’s new Council, he, as a worthy Patri
ot, absolutely declined accepting a Seat at the new
appointed Board.
We bear that Governor Gage has thoughtfit to deprive
the Hon. John Hancock, Ejft of his csmmijfion of Colonel
of his Excellency's company of Cadets. In cmfequence of
which company have had a meeting, the result of which
was io return bis Excellency the Standard, (with his arms)
which he presented to them on his arrival here, a commit*
tee was accordingly chose for that purpose, who waited on
his Excellency at Danvers, and delivered him the fandard,
which was accompanied with an address from the com
pany,wherein they informed his Excellency, that they looked
upon themselves no longer as tbeGov' r's independent company.
It is now generally believed, that Dr. Franklin has re
ceived a premise of being refiored to the royalfavour, aiid
promoted to an officeJtiperior to that which he resigned.

TO the Towns in the Colony of ConneAtcui, whofie
Hearts are suitably touched with a due Jympathy
and fellow-feeling of the distressed Case of the
Poor of the Town f Boften, occasioned by the late unrigh
teous AA of Parliament putting up the Port cf B oft on
from all Trade and Commerce, by Sea, kAc. Ought you
not, from the fame Motives that have difpbfedyou to AAs
of Charity and Benevolence tovseirds the Poor of B oft on, to
turn oiie Thought to the Poor of Charleft own ? who are
equal Sufferers by the fame Port Bill AA, (although iho
Tovm of Charleftovbn is not mentioned in the A A,) and
their Navigation as fat ally ft opped, and Business stagnat

noble Designs of Charity, vsculd it not be well for every
Town to desire their Commettees to inform the Committee
of B often, that have the Charge of your codlmtudable Of
ferings, That it is your generous Design that the Poor if
Char left own, who fuff er by the fame Providence, fare
equally inyour Bounty, according to their Proportion find
Wants, as the Town of Boston f And may the good Lmd
lead all Orders of Men among us closely to confider of our
Ways, and know what our Sins are, that have brought,
in Divine Providence, such a dark threatning Cloud over
us, that we may obtain pardoning Mercy of the God of idea

Iviii. 6th to the End. Then will yourfeafdnable Offerings

J/fiAUEREAS it is thought that a Non-Con*
fumption Agretment^ generally come into
by the Conftimers of BriPfh MaMufaEiures ii
America, will greatly facilitate, and be the best
Means of rendering firm and effectual the Non-,
Importation Agreement, so univ erf ally proofed
and recommended : and in Order that it may
be done in a Way easy, fafe and abiding, it is
thought necessary that the fever al Towns in this
Colony should, by their Delegates^ appointed for
that Purpose, meet together, either in a general
Meeting of the whole Colony, or by County
Meetings, in the federal Counties, in Order
to draw fitch Agreement, for the People in
the fever al T(ms ta fubferibe, as Jhall best an*
fewer the firopofed End.
