A circular letter Ms then read and adopted as
follows;
SIR, Newtown, June 12, 1783.
m Body of Freemen convened this d y at the Court
house, to deliberate on the situation of public
affairs, and the expediency of taking measures to pre
vent the return of those base and degenerate fens of
America, who not on y deferred tee cause of our coun
try in the hour of calamity, but absolutely combined
with the common enemy to destroy our deleft rights
and liberties, are of opinion, that it is icdifpenfibly
mceffary, that the @fe of the Freemen oftne county
Ihould be taken on t is important fubji ft, the more
tfpecially fs we have recently beheld toe most extra
ordinary leery extended to (one Burrows) a wretch
covered with every crime which can deserve puniffi
nient or disgrace humanity.
In order to accomplish this purpose, with as little in
convenience to the community as poftble, at this bu
sy season, we b<g leave to propose, that one deputy,
or more be chosen in each township, to represent the
fame in general committee, at William Bennet's, on
the 29th July, with authority to frame inftruflions to
, be by them presented in behalf of the Bremen of the
' county, to our reprefentatr.es in assembly, and to take
any further steps which may be deemed essential for
the support of public credi , and the maintenance of
ou° just rights and our ioterefls.
I therefore hope the good people of your township
will concur isl this necessary measure, by immediately
electing a proper character or charaaers, for the occa
sion; and to this end I pray you to be so obliging as to
call them together, and lay this letter before them.
To Signed by order,
of townfllip. JOSEPH HAR f.
The honorable Thomas JtfFerfon, Samuel Hardy,
John F. Mercer, Arthur Lee, and James Munroe;
tfquires, are appointed to represent the Rate of Vjrgi
nia in the Congress of the United States, one year,
commencing the firdMonday in November next.
By the fatten accounts from New. York we learn,
that 37 fail of transports arrived there on Thursday
tail from Jamaica, under convoy of a frigae. Seve
ral others had arrived from Halifax, and a large fleet
was hourly expelled from England.
An account was lately received in New York, that
a party of Indians had lately paid a visit to the loyal
refugees fettled in Nova Scotia, and had committed
great outrages on the persons and propetty of those
wretched people.
The brig United States, captain Callow, is arrived
in our river from Liverpool, riter 6 weeks paffa^e.
By a veff-1 from N^w Providence we learn, ' that
accounts had been received there from Jamaica, of the
capture of a large Blip, mounting 22 guns and 200
men, which had been piratically cruising for some time
past in those seas, and had taken Several Spanish v r f
fels in the Old Straits of Bahama; but attempting to
board a French frigate in the night, she was fortu
nately captured, and carried into Cape Francois. It
was (aid that she was last from Liverpool.

R ICHMON D, (Virginia) June 7.
The honorable eoeral assembly have voted an im
mediate payment of 50,000!. to Congress ; and the funds
out of which this money is directed to be paid, being
fully equal to that demand, it affords sensible pleasure
that Virginia, by the wisdom of the legislature, will re
treive her character of good faith and exertion among
the United States; and pursue the way to the reflora
tion of American credit, and the establishment of a per
maoent fyflem of finance, to which, we are well assur
ed, the present endeavours of the legislature are zea
lously pointed.
W E, the inhabitants of the town of Portsmouth,
who have so recently felt the dire effects of the treason
able and most flagitious villany, perpetrated by those
execrable mfcreanrs, called tories, and who, to our
great aflonifliment, we find, are meditating an at
tempt to regain a settlement in this town ; and as it is
a measure as ir.folent and audacious, as their late ac
tions have treacherous and perfidious, we find it indif
penfibly necessary for measures to be adopted to coun
teract the fame; knowing it to be morally impoffibe
for men, whose principles have been so diametrically
the reverse to each other, ever to become the citizens
of one town. Knowing also, that we have too many
nominal whigs, in our vicinity, who from interested
or insidious motives, are defiro us of renewing their
former connexions with those vilest of thieves and
robbers, and, that a timely check may prevent future
disaster, relying that it will ever remain illegal for us
to live, or associate with perjured villains. We do
Pledge to each other our faith and honour, that we
will, firft by gentle measures, do all we can to prevent
all traitors from effecting a settlement among us, and
if that will not do, coercive measures must follow.
Signed by the inhabitants of Portsmouth.
