SI R,
The following is the copy of a letter which was
<wrote by a Lady of New-York, to Capt. S s,
and Capt. M'D 1, which you are requeued
topublijb in year next paper. B.
Gentlemen,
I, ULL of misery and anxiety at the propped
1 of measures, which are said to be medita
ted against my unfortunate husband and brother,
] venture to take up my pen to aft: your inter
cession to prevent an evil, which if brought upon
them, mutt involve their innocent wives and
hclplefs children in anfpeakable distress, if not
in ruin and deftruClion At this moment my
mind is overwhelmed with the reflexions of
leaving forever my native country —my relations
.^ my friends and acquaintances, —and this too
just after we had been tossed about for several
years by the winds of adversity, and encountered
with anguish ond terror, the dangers of the oce
an, to fettle once more in my imagined peaceful
and happy country; where 1 expected an end of
all my sorrows, and to have found for the re
maining eve of life, a haven of rest from the
tempeituous storms of this troublesome world !
But alas, how am 1 like to be disappointed ! in
llead of meeting with peace and tranquility, we
are to be banished with onr children from these
pleating fliores, and once more must commit
curfekes, in the evening of our lives, with all
cur infirmities about us, to the boirterous ocean,
and oftentimes bill more boisterous winds of
fortune. For humanity's fake, Gentlemen ! in
terfere on this occasion ; use your influence with
the people, (for you have ranch among them)
to prevail upon them to defitt from so cruel, so
unnecessary a measure ; I call it unneceflary,
because 1 am convinced the punishment they
have already sustained, and wili hereafter sustain
in their ceifation from trade, is abundantly faf
ficient to deter the meft hardy from a similar step
of imprudence. Did you know the pain and
riftrefs of mind, which they have felt upon this
cccafion ; and did you confider the loss of esteem
which they have luftained in the judgment of
their fallow citizens—their loss of property, and
as I mentioned before, the injury that will accrue
to tnem by their fufpenhon of trade, together
w:ti the circumstance that a second offender,
with the example of punishment to the firft be
fore his eyes, will ever be the more Severely
dealt with on that account: I fay, were theie
things pr@perly considered by you, 1 have not
the lean c.oubt, but that you would judge their
picfent punishment to be as full and ample fatis
faction as the good of the public can be suppo
sed to call fort. ith these sentiments therefore,
Gentlemen, for justice fake, for the fake of the
numerous innocents connected with them, use
that a&ive influence, to prevent the proposed
measures which is the duty, and I hope will be
the condud of every humane person. Let it
never be said, that men who have for half the
course of their lives very confiderahly employed
themselves in fuccefsfully promoting the trade
and public welfare of this province, should have
their thousand acts of merit all cancelled and
fotgotten in the unmeasurable punishment of
one offence. Ifwe frail creatures mark iniquity
with such exactness, how can we ever look .up
for pardon for cur numerous offences to that
Being who has said, B fid is the mercijil, for
gh, Jbad recuse mercy F If you forgive not men
their frefoffs, neither will your father forgive
youycur ir pf 5 ; and who hath directed us to
pray to him jor firgivenfs of our effaces, as we
forgive them that offend againfl u^. Ffo.v beau
tiful to this purpole is that prayer of Pope,
Teach me to feeTanother's woe,
To hide the fault f fee;
That mercy I to ethers show,
That mere; show to me.
That these things may be so solemnly cohfider
ed, and fofincerely laid to heartby you, as to pro
duce that active influence, which 1 koow will
be fucccfsful if used, is the ardent and cordial
wish of Your Afflicted Frienb.

Just Publifocd, Price Three Shillings,
By SAMUEL DELLA P,
THE Letters of ABELARD and ELOISA.
To which is prefixed a particular account of
their lives, amours and misfortunes : Bv the late
John Hughs, Esq; To which is now firft added,
the poem of Eloisa to Abelard, by Mr. Pope,
embellished with a neat copperplate frontifpiece,—
Tbefe letters are well known to be genuine pieces,
occasioned by an amour which had verv extraor
dinary consequence and made a great noise at the
time when it happened, being between two of the
most distinguished persons of that age, who were re
markable fortheir genius and learning as well as
by a most extravagant passion for each other, are
every where full of the sentiments of the heart
(not to be imitated in a feigned Rory) and touches
of nature much more moving than any which can
flow from the pen of a writer of Novels, or enter
into the imagination of any who had not felt the
like emotions and distress—The great calamities of
Iris life took their rife from an unhappy indulgence
of a criminal passion, and giving himfelf a loose to
unwarrantable pleasures; after this he was perpe
tually involved in sorrow and distress, and in vain
fought for ease and quiet in a monaftick life.—To
btfold by Mr. William Woodhoufe, bookseller in
Front-street, near Chefnut Street, Messrs. Furman
and Hunt, Merchants, Trenton, Mr. Jacob Hyer,
Princeton, and Mr. David Nelson, Merchant in

Pettie's Island CASH LOTTERY,
For railing 3601. toward finishing a Bridge over
Pickering Creek.
TH E Managers of said Lottery are sorry they
are obliged to inform the few adventurers
who have thought the Scheme worthy of encourage
ment, that after using their utmost industry to dis
pose of the tickets in said Lottery, they find so ma
ny yet on hand as renders it impossible for them
to draw upon such principles as would answer th#
end proposed : And the impatience of the adven
turers, together with the little encouragement
given of ever felling the remainder, has induced
them thus publicly to notify those who have pur
chased and paid for tickets, to return them to the
persons of whom they bought and receive back
their money.
