Extract of a letter from Dantzick, Och 2.
“ A petition was some time since sent to his
Prussian Majeft, at Berlin from the merchants and
mariners of this city, representing that his Ma
jesty's infpe&or had forbidden the lighting of the
beacons, to the great danger of all the vessels
which were to enter thf harbour : and likewise
that he levied a tax upon all the (hips of Dantzick
on their return from their voyage of 12 ducats
each, befidds the common duties. To both these
grievances they prayed redress, arid have obtained
it; the beidbo's are lighted, the tax is taken off,
and the infpNtor himfelf removed."
It is certain that many councils have been lately
summoned tit the court ofMadfid to determine on
the following queftidn, " Is it proper to fend an
Ambassador th the court of London?"
They write from Arnfterdam, that some mer
chants there have letters from their correspondents
in France which intimate, that the court have re
ceived fomFill news from America, which is con
cealed frohfthe public.
Letters' fro'm the Continent mention, that a re
volution of great importance is expected in the
German 'Empire, for which purpose every Duke
and Count bf the Empire is obliged to fend a de

quence are th be redressed.

OR. 14. They write from Paris, that on the.
24th of l'aft month the Sieur d'Agay, intendant
of Picardy, had the honour to receive the Duke
and Dut&efs ofCumberland at St. Quintin ; and
as their Royal Highnefles examine every thing
remarkable' on their rout to Italy, he conduced
them to the fhbterranean canal of communication
new carrying oh between the Somme and the
Efcaut, inorder to unite those two rivers. After
viewin^dt, they expressed great astonishment, as
it feerrted an undertaking superior to any attempts
of the like fort made by the aricierit Romans.
The letter adds, that the Duke and Dutchefs
travel i/icbg. under the titled of Count and Cotintefs
of Dublin, and desire that no public honours my
be shewn them.
Extras of a letter from Rome, Sept. l i.
“ Mr. Alfani went on the 4th instant, at nine
O'clock at night, to the convent of the religious
of St. Franeoife Romaine, with some notaries, fe
tretaries, &c. He assembled all the religious in
their hall, where, after having ordered filenceon
pain of excommunication, he read the Pope's orders
to them. After which he bid them to stay in the
fame hall till further orders, and he went and
sealed several bureaus; in which it is thought are
effects and papers belonging to the ex-Jesuits.
On his return into the hall he took off the excom
munication and left the convent, wiring a good
night to the poor religious, who were panick
ftruck at feeing so many of such fort of people in
their convent at that time of night."

It is whispered that the Jesuits have a friend in
England as well as in Prtiffia; but though in the
latter their patron is a S n, and in the former
only a S—n's favourite, yet the power of serving
is equally great in the one as the other.
The Liverymen of London having now found
their strength, will convince the time-serving
court of Aldermen they are not to be treated with
contempt ; that court, according to ancient cuftom,'
Should return the man who has the majority of
votes of his fellow citizens; if they persist obsti
nately in rejecting Mr. Wilkes, though he $ has
such majority of votes, the livery are determined
they shall compliment the court with Mr. bull
annually, for they will chufe no other for the fu
ture than those candidates.
It is Lid the Lord Mayor declared at the late
choice, it gave him a double pleasure to have itin
his power to give two votes against Wilkes.
The present conduct of the city patriots gives
the minister great pleasure; it will throw every
thing very Toon into his hands. No man will
choose for the future to go through the ordeal trial
prepared for him at an election by those who deal
in the word kind of scandal, the invention of
falfehoods, and the aggravation of petty faults
into great ones. The court and the minifLy
laugh to fee their enemies become their best friends.

QU ERIE S.
Refteaiag the T EA A C T, submitted to the
nioft serious consideration of every person in
AMERICA.
Query, As there is an a& bf the British Parlia
ment in being, that would fulyjrigate America to
three peace flerling duty upon every pound weight
of tea imported from Britain; and as this duty is
voted independent of, and without the fan&ion of
any of our American Parliaments, what ought to
be done unto every Onb of those traitorous persons
who Ihall aid or abet the importation of, or landing,
the laid tea in any part of America, till that a& is
totally repealed, Jointly by King, Lords, and Com
mons?
Axs : Such base traitors to this country, without
exception, ffiould immediately and resolutely be
dragged from concealment ; they should be trans
ported, or forced from every place in America,
loaded with the most striking badges of disgrace ;
particularly, we ought not to forget, Jack on both
jides, viz. the deceitful, lying, infamous Popli
cola; for in this case, all such may absolutely
and jnfily be deemed as public robbers of our Liber
ty, Property, and Peace.
Query. What will be the most effe&tial methods
of proceeding, to obtain a repeal of the laid oppref
live, unconstitutional a&?
Ans: To usr no tea, at leaf for the present,
for if any person flrould give to the fellers more than
the usual price for tea, he ought to be held up as
a raortadenctiy to American freedom, And, — brai)e
Americans,
ASSOCIATE WITHOUT DISTINCTION.
“ O ,e brave men, in whom we still may find,
A love of virtue, Freedom, and mankind.
Go forth—in Majelty of Woe array'd,
See, at your feet your Country kneels for aid,
Be as one man— Concord success enfues-~
There's not an Honest Heart but what is
your's
Go forth you must, —ye cannot be withflood—
Be your hearts honed, as your Cause is good."
Query. What will be the consequence of a mini
ferial illegal fuftenJion of the Tea Act, or cf re
ceiving or during the said tea in any way or manner
whatever, until the Britilh Parliament shall be
pleased to recognize the matter ?
Ans : It will be dreadyul—it will be productive
of innumerable and exc^ffive bad consequences;
a suspending focuser is the mos dangerous of all powers ;
we mull universally bear our ttfhmony, and hold
up our bands firmly against it ; reject the tea firmly,
for when it is landed, there will inevitably be an
incessant uproar, such as will of courle conftintly
keep our towns in great confulion, make the inha
bitants extremely unhappy, and will assuredly, in
the event, be repented of mos feveref ; for, if the
accursed tea fliould once gain such a footing as this,
in America, our situation would be deplorable, as
ewe fbould then be at the precarious mercy of others,
and ineonteftibly forfeit, by rapid degrees, our in
valuable blessings, our Birthrights, Liberty,
Property, and Peace.
AN OLD PROPHET.
New-York, Nov. 30. 1773-

informed, that the fetters which have beeri
forged for us, (by the Parliament of Great-Biitain)
are hourly expedited to arrive, in a certain ship,
belonging to, or chartered b,§ the Edt India Com
pany+ We do therefore declare, that we are de
termined riot to be enslaved, by any power on

infamous a design, or shall presume to let their
store, •or stores, for the reception of the infernal
chains, may depend upon it, that we are prepared;
and shall not fail to pay them an unwelcome visit,
in which they shall be treated as they defrve ;by

Extraß of a letter from Boson, Nov. 25.
" The India Company's Tea is not yet arrived,
but is expected every hour. Our commissioners
have given up the coifgnment. Our committee of
correspondence have sent letters to the ,several
towns around us, and their ievera, committees
have met in this town, to the number of 70, and
have all agreed that the Teafsall not be landed; and
all the people in the country have agreed to the
fame, and stand ready at an hour's warning to march
into town.
“ The committee of Boston have received a mes
sage from the consignees of the Tea, that they would•
have nothing to do with the Tea ; since which, one
of the consignees has said publickly that be would
not live such a life a Week longer for all the Tea
that is coming."
It appears from fuhdry passages in the abovefaid
letter, not extracted, that it is the urpverfal refold
tion of town and country, that the Tea shall not
be landed, but shall be sent back to London.

WHEREAS the sudden rife in the price
of Tea at this critical juncture, has, by rhe
enemies of America, been ascribed to motives of
intere ft, and as taking an undue advantage of the
present commotion refpe&ing that article : This has'
been taken into consideration by a great number of
refpe&able inhabitants of this city, at a public
meeting ; and as it is of great importance that we
should all concur in a noble opposition to this op
pressive measure of the Eaft-lndia Company, of in
troducing their Tea into America while fubjeft to
the present duty, it is hoped that every perlon, of
whatever rank and situation in life, will suspend any
opinion or prejudice on this head : And that the
public may be fully apprized ho,v and by whom
the price of this commodity has been enhanced, a
Committee is appointed to enquire what quantities
of Tea are now in this city—in whole hands—and
whether the increase of price at this jtin&ure is the
effeff of intentioM in the holders of Tea to take any
undue advantage of their fellow fubjeas, or an oc
currence of trade arising from an unforefeen and
accidental scarcity ; and what measures can be fallen
upon to reduce the price within some reasonable
bounds—lhe result of which enquiry will, as food
as possible, be laid before the public.
