be retarded by the present exceeding great
scarcity of paper, occasioned by the gentlemen Pa

venience we hope will soon be remedied by the"
public-spirited and patriotic Ladies in this and the

Printing-Office a quantity of rags.—We traft
they will continue this laudable practice, on which
so immediately depend the fupporc of our civil

been molt flagrantly violated.
