JULY 20. ,/
A Caution to the Good People of the Province of
New-Albion: alias corruptedly called, at present,
The Jerseys.
WHEREAS this province of New Albion was, at
great trouble and expence, fettled and peopled with
500 men from England by Sir Edward Piowden, Earl
Palatine, and Governor of New-Albion, in considera
tion for which King Charles the First granted to the
said Earl of Albion his letters patent, for forty leagues
square on the main land, beginning at Cape-May, and
including Sandy-Hook, with all royalties, mines, mi
nerals, and inlands within ten leagues in the sea. All
which are fully explained in the said charter.
And whereas the said province was privately and
wrongfully again chartered, by King Charles the Se
cond, to his brother the Dulce of York, contrary both
to law and equity ; therefore his, the second usurped
charter, having no foundation in right, every att or
sale, by deed and writing arising therefrom, must be
null and void, and dead in law, fads that cannot be
denied by any person of sense.
And whereas preparations are making not only to
maintain the chartered right for the future, but to
cause a refund for such property as has been received
by the sale of lands, &c. in said province, under falfe
titles.
This is therefore to caution the publick in general,
not to buy or contract with any man or body of men
whatever, for any land in New-Albion, -except under
such local grants as was given by the Earl of Albion in
virtue of the firft charter, of which there are many now
subsisting; but as all royalties were reserved to the
said Earl in those grants, this is therefore to caution
all persons whatever, not to open or work any mines
or minerals within the boundaries of said province, till
the law directs which charter can convey real titles.
Those that doubt the reality of this claim, are refer
red to the register of Burlington for deeds originating
from the firft charter.
Also a full light may be thrown on the matter by
reading pamphlets long since deposited in the publick
libraries of Burlington and Philadelphia, or in Mr.
Smith's history of New-Jersey.
True copies in Latin and English of the original
charter registered in Dublin, authenticated under the
•f worship. Superstition is every where innocent,
where it is neither protested, nor persecuted; and let
your duration be, if possible, equal to that of the
world."—Amen.

A letter from Alexandria, dated July 7, fays,
" Yesterday the brig Ann Maria, Captain Robertson,
arrived here in 24 days from Barbadoes, at which
place he was seized and detained several days; but
fortunately obtained permission to fail."
Captain Robertson informs, that the schooner Peg
gy, Capt. Quirk, from this port? arrived, off Bridge
town about the firft of June, at which place he went
on Ihore to make report, and being informed he
would positively be seized, returned immediately on
board his vessel and made fail. The government brig
was dispatched after Captain Quirk, in order to carry
him into Barbadoes, but luckily he out-failed her.

PHI LA D ELPHI A, July x 6.;
Large quantities of base metal, made in imitation
of copper coin, having been lately imported into the
state of Rhode-Ifland, the assembly thereof, at their
last sessions, passed a law, imposing on all persons who
shall receive or pass any pieces of said base metal, a
fine of fix Killings for each piece so received or puf
fed; one half to the state, the other to the informer.
Tuesday a man on horseback (we suppose a rider
breaking a young horse) ran over a little boy in Mar
ket-street, and bruised him severely; the blood gulli
ed from him in several places. In well regulated
countries in Europe, there are positive laws against
breaking horses in the streets, whether for draught or
saddle. If such a law exists here, it should be ftridly
enforced: If not, it Should be adopted, to confine
those equestrian gentry to the roads, whereby they
might give free scope to their tafents, without endan
gering the lives or limbs of the citizens. . -
Saturday last, a young man of this city went into
the river Schuylkill to swim; but during his being in
I the water, it is supposed he was seized with the cramp,
I by which means he was unfortunately drowned.
A letter from Cockermouth, in England, dated
April 9, fays, " Our taxes are greatly increased, and
not near an end, as five millionsmore are wanted this
spring. The intereftmuft be borrowed, or taxes laid
to raise it. I am glad to hear you have fettled in
Penhfylvania, amongtt good people; and ihould also
be pleased to hear from you, how they are taxed.—
Happy America! where every man " may set under
" his own vine and fig-tree, and none to make him
" afraid." I eariieftly. advise you, not to be con
cerned in the trade of enslaving the Africans, whose
hardships I lament.
"There is now before the house of commons, a bill
on Irish affairs, which, if it passes, will drive many
of our principal manufacturers to Ireland, where pro
visions are cheap, and taxes light. The nailors have
declared, that they can make nails eight per cent,
lower in Ireland than in England. Twenty persons,
at Wolverhampton, have declared, that if the bill
passes, they will go to Ireland. One man, in Man
chester, who employs fix thousand hands, and pays
direftly twenty thousand pounds a year in taxes, has
made the fame declaration. They write from York,
that large subscriptions are entering into for purchasing
lands in Ireland, for the eHablifhment of manufacto
ries. You may easily picture to yourfelf the conse
quences of this state of affairs." ,;
As this paper was going to press, we were informed
that Congress had passed a resolve, to fend a Ihip-load
of spars to the Algerines, very probable as a tribute.
Should this be true, we may suppose the dispute has
been happily accommodated.
On Monday last John M'Donall, charged with the
murder of Catherine Kraymer and her son, and burn
ing the dwelling-house of Lawrence Kraymer, was
committed to the gaol of this city.
Congress, we hear, have resolved, That the board
of treasury be directed to confider and report the most
practicable measures for expediting the settlement of
the accounts subsisting between the several Hates, and
the United States.
The Legislature of Massachusetts have passed an
adfor laying duties on certain enumerated articles,
imported into that state; they have also passed an aft
hand and feat of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, May
1784, may be seen by applying to Captain Cape, at
the state-arms tavern, New-York. ~

N. B. Printers are desired to take this in their pa

Europe has not, for a long time, been so destitute of
matter for political speculation as at present. The keep
ing up vast handing armies, and an avidity for encreaf
jng them, are now become so familiar, as neither to
produce lurprife or apprehension. It is reserved for
his Catholick Majesty, this year, to attract the general
attention in his attack on the Algerines; but it seems
the present Dey. is a person of difeernment, and has
taken measures to be prepared for the dreadful onset
of his inveterate enemies. , He has left nothing undone
to render Algiers impregnable, and procured some
Christian engineers to conftruft new batteries, and per
fedi :the old works, which are covered by an enormous
artillery. „The inhospitable climate, the heat of the
weather, and the scarcity of water, will-operate much
against the besiegers, and rentier the subsistence of an
army very difficult. ,
,To these obftruftions may be added a frill greater,
in the dangerous nature of a mod turbulent sea, and
an open coast, which, for a long extent, affords no
shelter for a fleet, which will be essential to cover and
support an army in such an enterprise, against a peo
ple of such inate prowess, aided by the Moors and nu
merous tribes of. Arabs, who., from their aversion to
the Spaniards, are always ready to engage in any en
terprize against them. ..,
A letter from New-Jersey mentions, " Our harvests
sadden, and the husbandman's toil is confounded by
the destroying worm; the devastation is vifibie through
the counties of Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, and Morris ;
the effedsjn the other parts of Jersey, I cannot in
form, as only these have come under my immediate
observation ; but I am confident, in the diftrifts above
mentioned, the farmers will not acquire the feed which
they sowed. The hand of the Almighty lays heavy
upon us, and I despond of feeing it removed until our
manners are reformed, and our peace-offerings more
acceptable to the Deity. Rapacious worms, and hos
tile armies, are only his instruments.
