thatt'k remained! of the fait now on board the
said brig, shall not be landed within the limits
aforefaid.
Refobed by the Committee, That the said apo
logy be accepted.
Information being made to the Committee,
that many misrepresentations of the proceedings
of the Continental Congrefe had been made, with
a view to lessen the influence which the association
d^ra&'^red into, and recommended by them,
icily merited, and had almost universally obtain
ed. And it appearing to the Committee, that
such misrepresentations are made by artful, de
signing and wicked men, to divide the people and
defeat the measures wifely pursued for the preser
vation of American liberty.
Refelved unanimsufly. That it is theduty of this
Committee and every member thereof, and that
we will collectively and separately persevere to
carry ftri^ly into execution the association of the
Continental Congress, and enforce an observance
of the fame. And that any attempt to defeat such
purpose, (hall, with its author, be exposed to the
public.
The Congress, by the third article of the asso
ciation, having recommended the disuse of all
Fast-India TEAS, the Committee request,
that their constituents, in their several families,
will ftrittly adhere to this resolution; and however
difficult the disuse of any article which custom has
rendered familiar (and to many almost necessary)
may be ; yet they are induced to hope the Ladies
will chearfully acquiesce in this felf denial, and
thereby evince to the world, a love to their friends,
posterity and country.
A very extraordinary arrangement having been
lately made in the magiftracyof this county; the
Committee reflecting on the conclusions which may
probably be drawn from it in distant parts, to the
disadvantage of the Gentlemen fuperceded, chear
fully embrace the opportunity afforded by the pre
sent meeting, to teftify inffavour of their conduCt
whilethey were in office. From personal acquain
tance we know them to have been irreproachable
in private, faithful and impartial in public life,
and deservedly entitled to the thanks of the whole
county, for the confeientious difeharge of the trust
reposed in them.
Refolded, therefore, unanimoufy, That this Com
mittee ought, and we hereby do, in our own names,
and in the names of our constituents, sincerely
thank those worthy Gentlemen, whole abrupt
difmiffion, with all the circumstances attending it,
does them the greatest honour. They return to a
private Nation with the general approbation of
rhe country, and the pleasing Satisfaction of hav
ing honourably acquitted themselves of their ob
ligation, during their continuance in office. Their
difmiffion is a real loss : It is the more to be re
gretted, as from the manner of it, we can hardly
expect that any of equal worth and character will
hereafter be prevailed on to undertake the trouble
fame, unprofitable employment, now rendered dif
tafteful to men of independent spirit and firmnefs;
and evidently exposing them to unmerited insult.

SIR,
SEEING in your Paper of Monday, March
i 3th, a most scandalous, falfe and base repre
sentation of the conduA of a Gentleman and boat's
crew belonging to the King's armed schooner
Diana, I must, as a lover of truth, and being privy
to the whole matter refpeajng George Taylor, of
Wilmington, beg leave to assure the public, that he
was not struck or in any manner molested (though
he used many provoking speeches) 'till he took
hold cf the Gentleman on duty by the collar, who
then struck Taylor one blow, the matter there
ending, as Taylor did not return it; neither was
he taken along-fide the schooner, having produced
the proper papers. Dashwood Bacon.
WE whose names are hereunder mentioned,
from our personal knowledge of Mr, Bacon, as a
Gentleman and Man of Honour, are convinced he
would not sign to any thing that was not ftriQly
true. And we do further aver on our Honor,
that the fhallop was not brought along-fide, or
detained longer than is usual in examining vessels.

TOBE SOL D,
By the Subferiber, the following LOTS and TR ACTS
of LAND, in the province of Per.nfylvania, viz.
TRACT containing 6000 acres of very valua
ble LAND, lying on the waters of Cbillifquake,
in the fork of Sufquehannah, about twelve miles from
Sunbury (formerly Fort Augusta) the county towu of
Northumberland; which from itsfavourable situation
a! the junction of the two branches of that river, bids
fair to become the greatest commercial inland town in
Pennsylvania. The quality of fa'd traff of land is
excellent, surpassed by few of equal extent in the new
purchase, being a rich deep mould on a limestone bottom.
It abounds in fine meadow grounds, the whole trad
being exceedingly well watered by a variety offerings
besides the different branches of Chillfquake creek, on
one of which (near the center of the traN) is a very
good mill feat. The ftuation is in many refpeEls fa
vourable, in an extenfroe valley of good land, capa
ble of making a good settlement around it, and very
convenient for bringing the produce to market, at a
trifling expence, by the navigation of Susquehanna,
being only g or 6 miles from the eafl and 7 or 8 miles
from the weft branch of that river. To the latter there
is a good waggon road already opened. The whole of
this trad is accurately surveyed, add divided in the
mofl commodious manner, into 21 different plantations,
so as to accommodate each with a proportion of mea
dows grounds and water. A plan thereof may be seen
by any persons desirous of viewing the lands, by apply
ing to Samuel Hunter, Esq; at Sunbuy, who is
authorifed to agree with any persons inclining to pur
chase, or by applying to the fubferiber. Notwithstand
ing the divifon of this trabl into different plantations,
the owner has no objection to fell it altogether, if more
agreeable to any society or company of purchasers.
A Plantation, containing 276 acres of uncultivated
land, adjoining to lands of Samuel Martin, oh Bright
feld's creek, about two miles from the mouth which
empties into Juniata, and about five miles from the
mouth of that fine navigable fream: At leaf 30 or 40
acres of meadow may be made on this place, which is
watered through the whole extent by the aforemention
ed creek, on which a saw-mill might be ere Ned to great
advantage, as the bills around abound with pine tim
ber. It's convenient Jituation to the navigation of
Juniata and Sufquebannab renders it very valuable.
Any persons inclining to purcbafe may apply to Mr.
Frederick Watts, near the mouth of Juniata,
or to the fubferiber.
A Plantation containing 185 and. 3-qrs. acres of
land, on Tuffey's Run, about four miles from Bedford,

the town of Bedford, on one of which, at the weft end
of the town, is a very commodious dwelling-boufe, a
barn and a flill-b-ufe built over a fine spring.
