Neve-York, fpri! 21, 1774*
By order of the Committee.
Friday at noon Captain Chambers came into
the Hook ; the Pilot aiked him if he had any Tea
on board? He declared he had none. Two of
the Committee of obfervati- n went on board of
Captain Chambers, and informed him of the ad
vices received of his having Tea on board, and de
manded a light of all his cockets, which was ac
cordingly given them, but the cocket for the Tea
was not found among them, nor was the mark or
number on his manifeft.
About 4 P. M. the ship came to the wharf,
when the was boarded by a number of the citizens.
Captain Chambers was interrogated relative to his
having the Tea on board, but he still deniedit. He
was then told it was in vain to deny it, for as there
was good proof of its being on board, it would
be found, as there were Committees appointed to
onen every package, and that he had better be
open and candid about it, and demanded the
coeket for the Tea; upon which he confeffed it
was on board, and delivered the cocket. The
owners and the Committee immediately met at Mr.
Francis's where Capt. Chambers was ordered to
attend. Upon examining him who was the ship
per and owner of the Tea, he declared that he
was sole owner of it.-— ifter the most mature de
liberation, it was determined to communicate the
whole date of the matter to the people, who were
convened near the ship; which was accordingly
done. The Mohawks were prepared to do their
duty at a proper hour, but the body of the people
were so impatient that, before it arrived, a num
ber of them entered the Grip, about 8 P. M. took
out the Tea, which was at hand, broke the cases,
and started their contents into the river, without
doing any damage to the ship or cargoe. Several
persons of reputation were placed below, to keep
tally, and about the companion, to prevent ill
difpofed persons from going below the deck. At
10 o'clock the people all dispersed in good order,
but in great wrath against the Captain; and it was
not without feme rifque of his life that he escaped.
Saturday at 8 A. M. all the bells of the city rang,
pursuant to the notice published on Thursday,
About 9, the greatest number of people were
collected at and near the Coffee-Houfe, that was
ever known in this city. At a quarter past 9 the
Committee came out of the Coffee-Houfe with
Capt. Lockyer, upon which the band of music
attending played God fare the King. Immedi
ately there was a call for Capt. Chambers, where
is he? where is he? Capt. Lockyer must not go
till we find Capt. Chambers, to fend him with the
Tea-ship. This produced marks of fear in Capt.
Lockyer, who imagined some mifehief was in
tended him ; but upon assurances being given him
to the contrary, he appeared composed. The
Committee, with the music, conduced him through
the multitude to the end of Murray's wharf,
where he was put on board the pilot boat, and
wished a fafe passage; upon which the multitude
gave loud huzzas, and many guns w&e fired, ex
pressive of their joy at his departure. The Com
mittee of observation at the Hook have cogni
zance of him, till a fair wind offers for his de
parture from thence. Thus to the great mortifi
cation of the secret and open enemies of America,
and the joy of all the friends of liberty and human
nature, the union of these colonies is maintained
in a contest of the utmost importance to their fafety
and felicity.
Zpril 28. On Sunday night, at 8 P. M. the
Committee of observation returned from the Hook.
They inform us, that the sailors of the Tea ship,
being unwilling to proceed with her to London,
made a raft of spars and boards, in order to quit
the ship with the tide of flood, but were observed
by the Captain, and being aided by the committee,
who offered their assistance to him, they desisted
from their project.—That on Sunday at 10 A. M.
the fllip and the sloop, with the committee,
weighed their anchors and flood to sea ; and at 2
P. M. the pilot boat and the committee's sloop left
her at the distance of three leagues from the Hook.
With Capt. Lockyer, in the ship Nancy, went
passenger, Capt. James Chambers.
PHILADELPHIA, %2.
By Capt. Hindfon, in a short passage from Ja
maica, we learn, that a few days before he failed
Captain Morgan arrived there from the Downs,
who bn his passage spoke the Mercury packet,
Captain Sharpe, from Bengal and Madrafs for
London, dispatched Home with the very import
ant news of the city of Tanjour beimg taken by
the Eafblndia Company's troops, under the com
mand of General Spencer, who made the King
prisoner, and that the city, with the King, was
agreed to be ransomed; also that another province
in India, taken by the Company's troops, previous
to the capture of Tanjour, had been dilpofed of for
1,400,000!. 600,0c01. of which was then on board
the said packet, as a remittance to the company.
Extraft of a letter from London, dated Feb. 10.
“ I hope that you, as a Lawyer, keep staunch
in the support of North-American liberties, and
that you do not attempt to qualify them away in
to forms and shadows, as our great Lawyers do
here. If you do, expert no grace or favour from
me ; for f am an enthusiast in the glorious cause
of universal Liberty. But though I condemn our
Lawyers in the gross, let me except one Dodor
of Laws however, from the general censure; I
mean the great Dr. Franklin, that glorious western
constellation, who, like the Sun, is great through
all his race, but more mildly magnificent in his
evening, than his meridian.—-Dismissed by an un
grateful King, and prosecuted by an abandoned
Miniftiy, he towers above them, and looks down
with contempt an creatures who have nothing but
titles and estates to diftinguilh them from the com
mon herd of mankind."
Extract of a letter fism London, dated Feb. 14.
" You will have heard before this reaches you,
how infamoufly Dr. Franklin has been treated by
Administration; and you will soon fee in what
light they behold American Petitions. There is
not a more obnoxious character here, at present,
than that of a friend to America.. The colonics
should, therefore, be more particularly attentive
in cultivating union and harmony among them
selves. The spirit of this country is extremely
hostile to them ; and they have nothing to depend
upon, but their own union and firmnefs."
Captain Hood, from Briftel, on the iftult. in
lat. 40 : 31, spoke a ship from Sicily for New
foundland, out § weeks, but could not learn the
matter's name: On the 2 id, in lat. 38, spoke the
brig Mary, Capt. Anderson, from New-York for
Liverpool, out 5 days, all well; and on the 2 3d,
in lat. 38 : 25, spoke the ship John Galley, Capt.
Smith, from New-York for Barcelona, out 5 days.
On Saturday last were executed here, pursuant
to their sentence, James Swaine, Barnaby Ripton,
Joseph Price, Richard Birch, and a mulatto wo
man.—James Hambleton and Thomas Stephens
were reprieved ; and Conrad Founder was re
spited during the Governor's pleasure.

SI R,
O U have at length brought the full force of
I your charge against me, introduced with a
long harangue in the last Packet. I (hall not
spare time to make any reply to the boorifo quit of
which you hav^ been so lavilh. We have alrea
dy troubled the refpe&able public too much with
a dispute which can be of no advantage to either
of us—l am but where I was before you began to
write, and,w have only injured your own repu
tation, by darting the sting of Malice in vain—l
appeal to any unprejudiced person, whether the
proofs yo^have so long threatened me with amount
to any the least conviction, that I have been in
strumental in breaking open your letters. It does
not rest with me to provea negative. I have in
my firft adveftifement, given my word of'honour
to the public that I had no hand in an action so
dishonourable, and axpreffed my abhorrence of it.
This, I hope, will fufficiently clear me of the
charge, until you bring some positive, or at least
strong cifcnmftantial proof to cour,terpoife my as
sertion. If my friends in general are fatisfied with
my conduit in this matter, as I have realon to flat
ter myfelf they are, 1 am not anxious as to your
opinion of me: Tour friendship or enmity can be
of little importance to me. You set off with a
determination, if possible, to fix a stigma upon my
character : To this end you have worked every
idea, and laboured to bend the inflexible bars of
truth itfelf. You Spare no pains, you grudge no
, expence to bring about your favourite purpoSe.
You have sent expresses up to Border-Town to col
lect intelligence, you have by your emissaries en
deavoured to persuade people here to furnifh you
with some little evidence refpe&ing the charge you
bring against me, and after all your cost and trou
ble, find yourfelf but where you set out. Cool
and undisturbed I set at home, and pursue my usu
al round of business. Conscious innocence, at least
as to the point in question, renders me cafy and
fearlefs of all that your feeble rage can do.
You, or your friends for you, have, indeed,
exposed to public view some private letters which
I wrote in haste, and never expected to fee in the
press. How honourable such a conduct is I leave
to your own conscience to determine. For my
part I fee little difference between publishing a
man's private correspondence without his consent,
in order to expose him to ridicule, and the break
ing open ofletters to fatisfy a vain curiosity, or to
answer wicked and malevolent purposes—He that
would do the one, would not hesitate to do the other,
to answer the calls of a wicked resentment. I have
hitherto patiently born your contempt of my lite
rary abilities, without reply, but cannot help tak
ing this opportunity to declare, that Humphrey
Traveller hath not done me justice: The letter he
publishes as mine, is far from being a true copy
of the original.
In answer to your queries, I Shall only fay, that
theist, 2d, and 3d do no more than call upon me
for reasons why I did not throw aside every other
business and attend only to the forwarding your
important letter with all poilible expedition. If
yon think I have been negligent in this matter, 1
would advise you to puniSh my remissness by trust
ing no more of your letters to my stage for con
veyance. Your 4th query contains the very point
yet undetermined, viz. how came Mr. Imlay's let
ter broke open ? 1 have already declared I know not.
Yeu charge me with the fadt. If you really think
I did it, why do you afl< the question? Instead of
a query you fliould have brought the proof.
I now propose, as to my part, to close this unpro
fitable dispute; and would advise you, before we
part, to be cautious for the future how you indulge
the impetuosity of your temper. Your are but a
young man. Your character in life will, in a great
measure, depend upon the impreflions you give at
firft setting out. And as you seem naturally prone
to envy and resentment, and to be aduated by vi
olent passions, it behooves you to keep a ftridlguard
over yourfelf. For so sure as you follow your
headstrong inclinations, you will be involved in
continual difficulties, and in the end forfeit the
esteem of all good men.„

FORTY SHILLINGS REWARD.
IX7'B S I’OLEN from the fubferiber,
VV living in the township of Worcester and
county of Philadelphia, on the night of the 26th of
April last, a black M AR E, near 14 hands high,
a natural trotter, between 10 and 11 years old, no
white about her except a final! semicircle in her
forehead, much resembling the new moon, a fear
on one buttock in the form of a cross; if any brand
or saddle marks, unknown ; very flack of courage.
The thief is fnppofed to be one John Cameron,
alias John Cammel, lays he is a Scotchman, was
committed to Frederick Town gaol, in Maryland,
some years ago, and about four years ago was a cri
minal in Philadelphia gaol, and palled by the name
of John Davis, which is thought to he his real
name, and that be is a Welchman ; about 5 feet 8
inches high, well set, has a down look, had on a
blue cloth coat, which appears like home-made,
with white metal buttons, and another with him of
a lightifh colour, also a blue cloth jeket half-worn,
Itriped cotton ticken trowfers, good felt hat, blue
flockings, and (hoes with brass buckles in them:
It is uncertain which way he is gone, as he asked
the way to ft veral places. Any person apprehend
ing the thief, and securing him in any gaol, so that
he be convicted of the fact, and giving information
where the owner may get his mare again, (hail
have the above Reward, or for the n>are alone,
TWENTY FIVE SHILLINGS Reward, and rea
sonable charges, paid b,
BENJAMIN RITTENHOUSE.
WHEREAS I the fubferiber purchased
a MARE of a certain Armstrong
Porter, horse-jockey, of Lancaster county, which
mare the said Porter engaged to be found, only se
ven years old, and an excellent breeder ; quite the
reverse of which I find to be her character, (he be
ing disordered with the ringborn, is not less than
fourteen years old, and is well known to have been
barren all her days: For frid mare I gave him my
note of hard for Thirty Pounds, payable the firft
of the eighth month next : These are to forwarn all
persons from taking an assignment on said note, as
I am determined not to pay the fame unless com
pelled thereto by due course of law.
WILLIAM COALE, Jun.
WH EREAS I the fubferiber purchased
a HORSE of a certain Robert Max
well, horse-jockey, of Lancatter county, which
horse the laid Maxwell engaged to be found, and
only five years old, whidi 1 since find he falfly af
firmed in order to deceive and defraud the unfuf
pe&ing honed, the horse being only pampered up
to serve the purposes of villainy, wbilrt at the fame
time he was much disordered, tho' not easily per
ceived by an unfkilful difeerner, and also coofider
ably older than he affirmed him to be. For said
h^rfe I gave him my note of hand, payable in June
next: Tnefe are therefore to forwain all perlons
from taking an alignment on said note, as I am
determined not to pay the fame unless compelled
thereto by due course of law.
WILLIAM HOPKINS, Jun.
N. B. The above-mentioned men bein^, as we
understand, in co-partnership in horfe-deabng, they
also fold a mare in our neighbourhood for eight
years old, which proves to be not lets than fifteen:
As by the mouths of said creatures they appear to
be nearly of the age they fold them for, it is highly
probable they make use of some art by burning
their teeth, whereby they impose upon thoi enot
aware of such villainy.
