sifter illuminated witbin it, which /hewed these
inferiptions. On the front, “ Tea three pence
sterling duty." On each endofit, “ the infamous
Kelley." With the cart thus accoutred, a vast
multitude of the inhabitants paraded through most
ofthe principal streets, accompanied with the loud
huzzas of the people, no duty on tea; andcarried
it to the Coffee-houfe, where it was burnt in the.
presence of many thousands ofthe inhabitants, who
Signified their approbation with loud acclamations.
After this a gentleman addressed the people “ that
he wished they had the base original, they would
treat him in the fame manner;" and desired the
people to return home, which they immediately
did in the most orderly manner.
To oblige many fabferibers the printer inserts the
following.
A C A R D,
PRESENTING compliments to all the
Sons of Liberty in America, particularly
to those of New-York, to congratulate and ac
quaint them, that I sincerely rejoice to find such
a numerous body of high-fyirited people here, ex
erting themselves with the most essential perseve
rance in the good old cause of General Liberty ; —
am glad to find that Americans are still universal
in the grand cause ; —like strokes oflightning, in
a moment, your sentiments are penetrating to the
bottom of every iniquitous, dark and futile scheme,
of endeavouring to catch old birds with chaff; — a
foreignehaff, called tea, that for a considerable
time past has very much disturbed our peace, and
at best is noxious. But this in question has been
tumbling, and tolling, and slinking, by its being
whimsically traversed over nearly all the seas that
encompass the earth; and has also, for several
years, been mouldering and rotting in crowded
warehouses; and is now to be introduced into
America; and the whole of it, in order to com
plete the farce, is likewise to be deadly poifoned;—
may very justly, in the prefect case, fay deadly
infefled, either with the dangerous, ridiclous
fandion of a fofpeuding facer, or a complication
of distempered acts of parliament. Have time
only to recommend a card, or a hint, for you
to improve upon, particularly for your drawing
a straight, firm line, between ungenerous monopo
lies, —between contemptible minifterialz/Zega/ju/-
penjions and a regular lawful extinguishment of
duty aGs, jointly by King, Lords, and Commons :—
For, if the British parliament, &c. would timely
and totally repeal their unnatural, unprofitable votes,
and not retain such bare-bone a^s of contention,
but strike oT all nominal duties of customs, more
especially and immediately to relinquish that which
is fixed unconstitutionally upon this poifoned-cbaff,
—it is then, and not till then, that every importing
branch of American commerce from Europe will
of course naturally and peaceably center in Britain,
to a mutual advantage.

On Monday morning appeared stuck up at the
Coffee-Houfe, and several other places in the city,
written papers, menacing deftru&ion to any person
who Should accept of eommiffion for the Sale of
the East-India Company's Tea, or be any way ac
ceffary thereto.
Extras of a letter from Boston, dated Nov. I.
“ By a letter from London it still appears to
be very uncertain that the India Company will ven
ture an exportation of tea to the colonies, at least
the design, it was thought, would be laid aside
for the present; so that when administration be
comes acquainted with the uneasiness it may occa
sion on this fide the water, a repeal of the duty,
in the course of the approaching session, may be
^xpeded; then all our hearts will be at rest."
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15.
Extract of a letter to a person in this city, dated
Oflober, 1773.
" As I several days ago, on account of urgent
business, had undertaken a journey of about thirty
miles, and was come about fix miles on my return
homeward, I came to a fork in the road, and be
ing in doubt which road to take, I took that to
the right, which led me about four miles through
so many bullies, that I was obliged to light off
from my horse, and walk a foot; having thus
walked a mile or two no further traces of any
road appeared, and I saw nothing but bulhes,
through which one could hardly come, but as I
had no mind to turn back, I tried to get through
it as well as I could; this troublesome journey
lasted about two miles further when I arrived at
the foot of a mountain, over which I was obliged
to pass, after which I came to a much higher
mountain, which I ascended with a great
deal of trouble: when I was about half way up
this mountain, I saw with astonishment a vein of
ore of the breadth of two yards and a half flicking
out of the mountain, and as I had in Germany
obtained the knowledge of ore and minerals, I
found this to be all silver ore; I struck off as much
as I could get, and proceeding further on that
mountain, found two more like veins, one of the
breadth of two yards and the other of three yards
and a quarter Seemingly extending through the
whole mountain; I took good notice of this moun
tain, and after my arrival at homel tried the con
tents of this ore, and found four ounces of fine
silver in one pound of ore, which on Strict exami
nation leaves no small traces ofits containing some
gold ; the next day I took a good friend with me
and we travelled all over the whole mountain,
when it appeared that these veins seem to run
through the whole mountain; we opened twelve
er sixteen places, and found veins of ore in all
these places, it would therefore be a great pity if
this mine Should any longer remain hidden, for
which reason, I offer the partnership of carrying
on the fame to all such as please to enter into it
with hie. The place is secured, and there shall
be no want of suitable experienced workmen for
melting, &c. lon my part do a flure every one
that I am not for imposing any unreasonable ar
ticlesupon any one, as I leave it to the choice of
such as shall apply to me between the 29th, of
October ihftant, and the 12th of November 1773,
whether they will take any more in company or
not; a number of the trials already made of the
said ore may be seen with me in Millers-town, five
miles from Lebanon.
John Justus Battenfeld, M. D.
N. B. A certain person hath already offered
five hundred pounds towards erecting proper works
if carried on, as a fine large creek runs-through
a pleasant plain, not above two hundred paces from
the foot of that mountain, where suitable works
for melting &c. &c. may be ere&ed.
North-Carolina, Oft. 12, 1773.
A bilious fever prevails very much here: Of
which disorder died on the sth instant, after five
days illness, Mr. GEORGE ANTHONY
MORRIS in the prime oflife.—This gentleman
resided amongst us eighteen months ; and acquired
a very general acquaintance with our most ref
pe&able inhabitants: An easy affable deportment
joined to much good fen fe, candour and integrity,
have rendered his death a very heavy loss tb all
who knew him here, as well as to his friends in
Philadelphia, of which he Was a native.
To the Printer of the Pennsylvania Packet.
SIR,
IN looking over the latter part ofthe firft chapter
of Genesis, I find an account of God's having
granted to Adam and his posterity, not only a
dominion over “ the fifh of the sea, the fowl of
the air, cattle, and every thing that creepeth upon
the earth," but likewise in a particular manner
over the negroes of Africa.* —I beg therefore you
would mention this, in your paper, to silence those
writers who insist upon the Africans belonging to
the fame species of men with the white people,
and who will not allow that God formed them in
common with horses, oxen, dogs, &c. for the
benefit of the white people alone, to be used by
them either for pleasure or to labour with their
other beasts in the culture oftobacco, indigo, rice,
and sugar.
A CUSTOMER.
