From the Mass Ga*. of Thur (day laji»
• M'. Drapfr,
THE Propojat mentioned in the extra#
of a letter, sent you by X, and pub-
Jiflied in your la ft paper, is so far from be
ing the propofaloi the writer of the pamphlet
stiled, “ The rights of theßriti/h colonies.”
&c. that it it therein expressly quoted as the
proposal of the writer of another pamphlet
ca led “ The Administration of the Britift
Colonics,** &c. pubblhed in England about
a year before the Quotation. This propo-
Jal indeed, was admitted as left exceptiona
ble, than fame others, which it was thought
by many would drain the colonists of the
greatest part of their money to be carried
home, or otherwise appropriated to the ge
neral gpvcrnmennt, support, defence and
protection of the whole Empire: After
which they might be left,or even required,
to raise further taxes in each colony, tor the
support of his Majesty’s government in
each, in time of peace, and also for com
mon defence and protection in time of war.
This should seem to be at least a double tax
for general service, and to render the case
of the colonists perhaps unparellelled in
the biftory of any age or nation. Efptcially
if it be considered that most of these colo
nies were fettled without any expence to
the nation— That for ages the inhabitants
had every difficulty to encounter, often o
b'iged in cold, hunger and third to labour
and toil with their arms, by their fide by
day, and for a pillow by night; and besides
being frequently obliged to Jie on their
arms they could not worship but in arms.
All theft and many other things considered,
1 am convinced that every tax from that of
a parish up to the King, falls in proporti
on to number, wealth and ability, much
heavier on the inhabitants of a new than an
old country.
It may not be amift to remark that one
of the principal a#s of Parliament for rail
ing a revenue in America pafled the year
before the pamphlet called “ the rights of
the Colonies” was published or written, as
did the resolves for the Stamp A# : though
. this last was not pafled until the next year.
It was therefore impofliblc the book should
have any effc# in procuring the former : It
is not to be (uppofed to it had any influ
ence in refpe# to the latter.
Extra# from theßights of Colonies, p, 63.
« 1 agree with the adm/niftrator that of
.whatever revenues railed in the colonies, if
thiy must be railed without our
•< the fir ft and [podal appropriation ought to bo
to the paying the Governori and all the other
crown Officer if* * “ would be hard
for the colonists to pay them after this.”
The above is luppofed to have given rife
to the extra# in your last, with how much
colour of candor, truth or justice, is fub
nutted to the public. Y*

JAf O B HEMET,
DENTIST to her Majefly and the Prin
cess Amelia.
BEGS Leave to recommend to
the Public, bis newly difeovered Ef
face of Pearly and Pearl Dor tifrice, which
he has found to be greatly superior not only
in elegance, but also in efficacy, to any thing
hitherto made use of for complaints of the
Teeth and Gumt : Particulaily they will fre
favetbe Teeth in a perfe# found nate, even
to old age} they render them white and
* beautiful, without in the least impairing the
enamel; fajlen such as are loose, keep such
as are already decayed from becoming worse,
prevent the Tooth-Ach, perfe#ly cure the
Scurvy in the Gurw, and make them
firm and close to the teeth; they likewlfe
render the breath delicate, sweet, and re
medy almost all thoft disorders that are the
consequence of scorbutic gums.

TAKES this method of inform
ing all Gentlemen, Ladies, and o
thers, who have had the Misfortune to loie
their Teeth, that he ftdl continues the Bw
finefs of making and fixing artificial Teeth
as usual, in so elegant a manner as to be
but little inferior to the natural, either in Use
o» Beauty, as many who have experienced
them can teftify : Where also any Person
affii#ed with painful Stumps or unfouud
Teeth, may have them removed with a pe
culiar Dexterity and Ease.—And all Perlons
who have the Scurvy in their Teeth, which
threatens their removal though found, may
have them cleaned without hurting the Ena
mel, ar in the least degree impairingthem,and
may befupplied with hisDiNTiUMCoNSER
vator, which is an excellent Powder, the
best adapted for preserving the 7 eeth ano
Gums, and preventing them from Aching,
of any Preparation ever offered to the Pub
lic : It will cure the Scurvy in the Gums,
bring the Teeth to their original Wbitenefs,
and by a continuance of its Use, will Pre
serve both Teeth and Gums in a pure state
during life —-It is not pretended that it will
perform Impoffibtlities, that it will nuke
rotten Teeth found, or will ease them when
they violently ach; but it will assuredly
preserve those Teeth found that are so, and
cause the Gums to adhere to them and pre
vent those that are decayed in part, from
becoming worse.
At the above Store may be had
Morgan’s ufeful Eyf-Water,which
has in so many cases been found serviceable
that it must escape the censure of the most
critical Oculift —Brigifen’s famous Bug Li

ful Vermin, —be they ever so numerous.—
An assortment of genuine patenteed and
other Medicines of the best quality, and
Medicine Boxes for Families or Shipping,

THE Subscriber informs the
gentlemen and ladies in town, that
he propoles to open anENGLISH GRAM
MAR-SCHOOL for the inftrudion of
youth, in a house adjoining to theTrealuretS
office ; now improved by Mr. Greenleaf.
From eight o'clock to eleven in the morn
ing, and from two to five in the afternoon,
he will teach reading and English grammar ;
and from eleven to twelve m the morning,
and from five to fix in the afternoon, wid
teach English grammar, logic, competition
and elegant letter-writing,on bufinels,Friend
(hip, &c. Price fifteen (billing per quartet.
No fire money nor entrance mH be required.
As many gentlemen hifte
such a school, as being much wanted in the
town, and encouraged the fublcriber to open
one, he hopes for the double fatisfa#ion of
promoting the public interest and his own.
As he has spent many years in teaching
youth, he apprehends, by the application of
the rules which he has colle#ed from obler
vation and experience, he can learn children"
to read in less than half the time they com
monly spend in learning ; ami in a short
time corre#.a bad pronuncat ion, which
they often contra#, and if not early corre#-
ed becomes habitual, and is a lading ble
mi(h to their reading or difeomfe.
The knowledge of Englifti-grammar,logic
and composition, is so eflential in education,
that no person can make any figure in the
lettered world without it; therefore it must
be a great advantage to all who have not had
a polite education, to acquire those parts of
learnitag. Young masters and miQes who
to years of understanding, may
jbqmre a fufficicnt knowledge in grammai
and composition in a (hort lime.
Gentlemen and ladies, who incline to fend
their children to the school above mentioned,
are desired to engage them soon, and leave
their names with the fubferiber at his lodg
ings, Mrs. Holbrook’s, near the common.
Joseph ward

been engaged since writing the above, the
school will be opened next Monday.
O’ If a fufficient number (bould offer, for
an evening school, to be inftru#ed in any of
the above mentioned branches of learning,
the school wilt be kept Monday andWcdncf >
day Evenings.
