Tefierday came to Town, in the Stage-
Coach from Bo don, the LAUX, wh^ is
said to be tie Dut chefs or Princess of
Cronenburgh—ln feme of the Southern
Papers, (he has gone by the above, and
different Names and Titles, as may be
seen by our late Papers. A Corres
pondent Jays, it is a Pity this Lady came
from New-lork to Rhode-Jfland in the
Packet, for had (he come through the
Colony of Connecticut, we (hould certain
ly have known who and what (he was,
as it is generally the Custom at all the
Public Houses there, to a(k a Stranger,
what his Name is, and his Business,
where he came from, where he is going,

[Reading the above in the New-
Hampshire Gazette, I was puzzled
at firft, for the Occasion of such a
bitter Remark, on the Manders of
the People of Connecticut 5 but on
Recollection, find that a Hampshire
'Gentleman pafling through this Co
lony a few Years ago,put up at a pub
lic House 20 Miles East of Hartford,
He bad no Occasion for Oats, it is
true, but might poflibly call for a
Mess. However, he had not much
Time for Refrtfhment, when a Con
stable came in and used the Freedom
not only to enquire after his Name,
Business, Place of Abode, whence
he came, and such like impertinent
Quefti ns, but was so unpolite as to
examine his Pack ; and finding a
Number of Articles aboard,the Pro
perty of which had not been legally
transferred by the Owners, was so
bold as to trouble him with his Com
pany as far as the Goal in Windham,
where this Hampshire Gentleman was
persuaded to tarry and take the Opi
nion of the County Court. Ihe
Court, I suppose, not aware of that
Perfection of Politeness which reigns
in the Province of New-Hampshire,
gave a further Proof of the Rough
ness of our Manners, and according
to the usual Method of Proceeding
in such Cases, ordered him to divert
thespeiftators, by dancingafew Mi
nutes under the ftimuhtmg St quick
ening Influences of the Lalh. His
Name I have really forgot, but it is
Enrolled in the Records of Windham.

appeared to be a Person of lenfibifity
and Resentment > and by the Sauci

mentis to be inflicted on the cop
per is yet uncertain ; but it is judged
by the Expreflions of Indignation at
his Conduct, that he will not escape
with Impunity.

Friday morning last about three o’clock, a
person call’d at a private hook inWeatnersbeld,
