- 7' bb LAN 1), lying on the waters of Cbillifaiake,
in the fork of Sufyuehannab, about twelve miles from
Sunbury (formerly Fort Augusta) the county town of
Northumberland; which from its favourable situation
at thejunction of the two branches of that river, bids
fair to become the greatest commercial inland town in
Pennfolvania. The quality of fed tract of land is
excellent, surpassed by few oj equal extent in the new
parchafe, being a rich deep mould on a limeJFne bottom.
It abounds in fine meadow grounds, the whole trakl
being exceedingly well watered by a variety offerings
bejides the different branches of Coi!!ifquake creek, on
one of which (near the center of the trakl) is a very
good mill feat. The situation is in many rel'pekls fa
vourable, in an extenJive valley of good land, capa
ble of making a good Jeltlement around it, and very
convenient for bringing the produce to market, at a
trifling expence, by the navigation of Susquehanna,
being only g or 6 miles from the east and 7 or % miles
from the weft branch of that river. To the latter there
" 4 good waggon road already opened. The whole of
this traEt is accurately surveyed, and divided in the

advantage, as the :ills around abound with pine tim
ber. It's enryement Jituation to the navigation of
Juniata and Suiouehannab renders it very valuable.
Any persons inclining to purchase, may apply to Mr.
Frederick Watts, near the mouth of fudiata,
or to the fubfri'er.

The SPEECH of EdmundßurK E, Ffq; on
American Taxation, Npril 19, 1774.
[Continued from our /tf.]
I PASS by the public promise of a Peer rela
tive to the repeal of taxes by this House. [
pals by the use of the King's name in a matter of
supply, that sacred and reserved right of the Com
mons. I conceal the ridiculous figure of Parlia
ment, hurling its thunders at the gigantic rebel
lion cf America; and then five days after, prostrate
at the feet of those Assemblies we affe&ed to de
spise, begging them, by the intervention of our
ministerial sureties, to receive our submission; and
heartily promising amendment. These might have
been serious matters formerly; but we are grown
wiser than our fathers. Puffing, therefore, from
the conftitutionaLconfideration to the mere policy,
does not this letter imply, that the idea of taxing
America for the purpose of revenue is an abomi
nable project ; when the Ministry suppose none but
factious men, and with seditious views, could
charge them with it ? Does not this letter adopt
and fan&ify the American diftin&ion of taxing for
a revenue ? Does it not formally reject ail future
taxation on that principle; does it not state the
ministerial rejection of such principle of taxation,
not as the occasional, but the constant opinion of
the King's servants? Does it not fay (I care not
how confidently) but does it not fay, that their'
conduct with regard to America has been afo; f
governed by this policy? It goes a great deal fur
ther. These excellent and trusty servants of the
King, justly fearful left they themselves should
have loft all credit with the world, bring out 'the
image of their gracious Sovereign from the inmost
and most sacred shrine, and they pawn him, as a
security for their promises. “ His M^jeforelies
on your prudence and fidelity for such an expla
nation of bis measures." These sentiments of the
Minister, and these measures of his Majesty, can
only relate to the principle and practice of taxing
for a revenue; and accordingly Lord Botetourt,
dating it as such, did with great propriety, and
in the exaß spirit of his inftruffions, endeavour
to remove the fears of the Virginian aiTembly, left
the sentiments, which it seems (unknown to the
world) had always been those of the Ministers,
and by which their condu3 in refpefl to Hmeric't
bad been governed, should by feme possible revo
lution, favourable to wicked American taxers, be
hereafter counteracted. He £ddreffcs them inLus
manner.
