Mr. Collins,
Please to give the following Petition a place in
the New-Jersey Gazette, that the Legislature, as
well as the people at large, may have the molt early
ropporrunity of being acquainted with the very great
distress the late law, making the Continental Bills
of Credit a legal tender in payment of debts, in its
deplorable depreciated condition, has brought on
the innocent orphans, as well as others in this and
all the states in union.
To the Honourable the Council and General
Assembly of the State of New-Jersey.
The Petition of a Guardian 1110 ft humbly Jheweth,
THAT whereas your Petitioner, Upwards of
five years past, was appointed Trustee and
Guardian of four orphan children, by the
last will and testament of his decealed
friend ; that your Petitioner, agreeable to the trust
reposed in him, received from the executors of his
deceased friend the said children's legacy, amount
ing to near fix thousand pouncs, which your Peti
tioner placed at interest on land security. Two of
the borrowers pros ed difaffeded, and have gone to
the enemy, whose estates have been confifcated and
fold; your Petitioner therefore has now no remedy
but to receive continental money at about forty for
one, so that your Petitioner will get between thirty
and forty pounds for fifteen hundred lent; not only
so, but all thole who borrowed the remaining four
thousand five hundred have offered to make pay
ment, which your Petitioner has by solicitation de
layed receiving. Relying, therefore, on the justice
and candour of the Honourable Legislature, that
they will by law make some provifian to prevent the
total ruin of the innocent and helpless,
Your Petitioner humbly prays, that the Legislature
will take this matter into their serious consideration,
and grant such relief as in their wisdom they may
judge most beneficial on this trying occasion.
And your Petitioner, as in duty bound, will
ever pray

•which is extracted from the Parliamentary Regis

I cannot take my leave of your Lordihip without
expressing my utter amazement, at the decisive and
mafteily Strokes for carrying such extensive plans in
to immediate execution, as have been effected Since
your Lordihip has assumed the conducting cf this
war, which is already most happily experienced by
those who have the honour of leaving here under
your aulpices. 1 hat you may finally receive the
acknowledgments of a grateful country, the lasting
glory which such services merit; and that 1 may in
tome degree contribute to the completion of mea
sures so vigorously conceited, is the fervent with of
your Lordship's, &c. Wil. Howe.
The contents of Colonel F?ucitt's letter has given
me much fatisfa^ion, and 1 shall not fail to make a
proper use of the knowledge it contains.
While writing this, 1 have advice that some trans,
ports with Highlanders are arrived at the entrance
of the harbour, and I am not without hopes, that
we shall all join under fail to-morrow.
PHILADELPHIA, February 23.
By the Captains Palmer and Kollock, from I'Ori
ent, we have received a copy cf his BRIT/IN
NIC MHJESTT's Most Gracious SPEECH
to both Houses of Parliament, on
Thursday, November 25, J 779.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
I MEET you in Parliament at a time when we
are called upon by every principle of duty, and
every consideration of interest, to exert our united
efforts in the Support and defence of our country,
attacked by an unjust and unprovoked war, and con
tending with one of the most dangerous confedera
cies that ever was formed against the crown and
people of Great-Britain.
The designs and attempts of our enemies to in
vade this kingdom have, by the blessing of Provi.
dence, been hitherto fruftrated and disappointed.
'I hey still menace us with great armaments and pre
parations ; but we are, I trust, on our part, well pre
pared to meet every attack, and repel every insult. I
know the character of my brave people: The menaces
of their enemies, and the approach of danger, have no
other effect on their minds but to animate their cou
rage,and to call forth that national spirit, which has so
often checked and defeated the projects of ambition
and injustice, and enabled the Britilh fleets and ar
mies to protest their own country, to vindicate their
own rights, and at the fame time to uphold and pre
serve the liberties of Europe from the restless ^nd
encroaching power of the House of Bourbon.

Copy °f a letter from Gen. Howe to Lord George
Germain, dated Halifax, 3th June, 1776.
My Lord,
ON the 6th instant, the Mercury packet arriv
ed with your Lord Ship's dispatches of the
27th April, duplicate 28th March, copy of your
Lordfllip's letter of 25th April, to Lieutenant Ge
neral de Heister, and several papers relative to the
state of the Hessian troops ; copies of letters from
your Lordihip to the lords commiflioners of the ad
miralty, of 20th April, and to Sir William Erlkine,
of ift fame month; also copy of a letter from Co
lonel Faucitt to the Earl of Suffolk, of 9th April.
These dispatches were delivered to me by Cap
tain Emmerick, accompanied by a letter from your
Lordihip, letting forth his good services in the late
war; I apprehend he might be employed here to
great advantage, Should this contest continue for an
other year, by returning to Europe, and bringing a
corps of 500 German chaffeurs : but in the prelent
campaign, without proper troops for him to aft with,
or a knowledge of die country, he can be but ca
sually employed, yet I hope to good effect.
The utmost attention Shall be given to the expe
rience and great abilities of Sir William Erskine in
the military line, and I Shall with pleasure make
known to him your Lord Ship's commands to me in
his favour.
