out; and we trust the latter will never be justly
charged to the United States.
" We therefore desire, as far as this town has a
voice in the county, that the proposed convention may
never meet ; but if they fhouid, we hope they will so
far confider the justice and propriety of submitting to
those ads which they now complain of as a grievance,
as cheerfully to acquiesce in them ; and that they will
then separate, without taking any step that may even
tually tend to bring this country into contempt; for
if they should we shall be constrained, as in duty
bound, solemnly to protest against them.
By order and in behalf of the town,
Wm. COOPER, Town clerk.
TRENTON, April 20.
Extras of a letter from a gentleman at Annapolis, dated
April IQ, 1784.
' The Minister of France, who arrived here three
days since, among other things, made the following
communication to Congress :
Extract of a letter written 24th Dec. 1783, by the Count
de Vergennes, to the Chevalier de la Luzerne.
" His Majesty hath decided in a manner irrevocable,
that the port of I'Orient should be free, and that Ame
rican navigators may actually confider it as such. —
The edidt of the King hath not yet however been pub
lished, because the intention of his Majesty being to
give to this establishment all possible extension ; the
regulations must be reduced after a mature examina
tion, and conceived in such manner, that the advan
tages granted to the merchants of the Uirited States,
may not essentially prejudice our commerce and the re
venues of the state.
'' The merchants of the United States may equally
enjoy the liberty to frequent the ports of Marseilles
and Dunkirk; and they shall partake, like other nati
ons, of the franchifes and privileges of these two
places.",
6 By the fliip Liberty, Capt. Antram, arrived here,
we have English papers as late as the 24th January—
They contain little more than the debates in Parlia
ment on the East-India Bill, which was again brought
forward by Mr. Fox. The purport of this bill is to
wrest the affairs of the Company out of the hands of
their Directors, and to vert them in certain Commifli
oners, for the benefit of the proprietors and the pub
lick. This they attempt to juftify on the stale ground
of necessity: But it being in dired violation of the
chartered rights of that Company, I think the benefit
resulting to the publick ought to be great and obvious,
and full compensation rendered to the injured indivi
duals. The nation are in a state of the greatest dis
traction—their finances involving them in the utmost
perplexity. It appears that their annual expense, in
cluding the interest of the national debt, funded and
unfunded, and peace establishments, amounts to seven
teen millions—the receipts of their taxes to 13,000,000;
whereby an annual loan of 4,000,000 will be necessary
to make good the deficiency. Ireland still in a state
of fermentation, throwing off the admiralty, port-office,
and every other relid of Biitifh Parliamentary autho
rity—contending for a free importation of their wool
len manufactures into Portugal, and a trade to the
East-Indies—and what is still more alarming to them,
is the mutability of Council, and imputed indecision
in their measures, atifing from the frequent clianges
of the Ministry and the House of Commons, have ac
tually resolved, that no confidence ought to be placed
in the present Adminiftration.'
Mr. Collins,
lObferved in your paper of the 16th March Jaff, a
publication of one fe&ion of" An aft for laying a
duty on the purchasers of Haves imported into this
colony," which aft was puffed the 16th November,
'769 : —To prevent your readers from being milled
by that publication, I am to request you to publilh
the two following authorities, from which it will ap
pear that the fame is yet in full force, notwithstanding
the limiting daufe contained therein.
The 21st fedion of the constitution of this state
declares, " That all the laws of this province, con
tained in the edition lately published by Mr. allinfon,
Shall be and remain in full force, until altered by the
Legislature of this colony (such only excepted as are
incompatible with this charter) and Shall be, according
as heretofore, regarded in all refpeds by all civil of
ficers and others, the good people of this province."
The proviso annexed to the 3d fedion of “ An ad
to authorize the United States assembled, to levy a
duty on certain goods and merchandize imported into
this state from any foreign port, island or plantation,
and for the appropriation of the fame," palfed the 1 ith
day of June, 1783, declares, '' 1 hat nothing herein
contained Shall be taken or construed to alter or af
fe& the a6t, intitled, '' An aft for laying a duty on
the purchasers of Slaves imported into this colony,"
palled the 16th day of November, 1769."

Stands at the stable of the fubferiber, and will cover
mares the ensuing season at Ten Dollars the season,
that famous high bred horse
B A S H A W.
HE is a full sized horse, a fine bay with black legs,
hind feet white; very lengthy, strong and bony,
and is allowed by gentlemen of the turf to be equal
in point of blood to any horse in England, as appears
by the following attested pedigree: Bafhaw was got by
Wildair out of Cub, his dam by old Cub, grandam by
Second ; the was Amaranthus's dam, a very excellent
racer, great grandam by Sterling; the was the dam
of Leed's Fop and Flash, and several other good rac
ers, his great great grandam by old Partner, and full
sister to Bandy's dam, Wildair was got by old Cade,
the best stallion that ever was got by the famous Go
dolphin Arabian out of the daughter of Steady, a very
fleet son of the duke of Devonihire's Flying Childers.
Wildair and Cub were, a few years past, the property
of James Delaney, Esquire, who was offered an enor
mous price for both horse and mare, in order' to be
re-ffiipped to England, at the particular request of the
greatest breeder in that country; however, he could
only be prevailed on to part with the horse, who co
vered at forty guineas the season, his blood being in the
higbeft degree of reputation among the nobility and
sportsmen. Bafhaw has covered in great character as
a sure foal getter, his stock being large, handsome,
and have been proved very active.
