YTTE the fubferibers, being legatees chiefly named
vV in the last will and testament of James Sexton,
late of Upper-Freehold, deceased, having, by our coun
sel learned in the law, been informed of a defect in said
will, the omission of one evidence, by which means
the executors are unable to act agreeably to the true
intent and meaning of the fame, which we conceive
will be a damage to the estate: For remedy whereof,
we propose applying to the Legislature at the next fit
ting, for a law to establish said will; of which any per
son concerned is desired to take notice.

many thousand settlers have gone, ana more are daily

tuate upon the waters of the great Ser Ohio, and
must soon become very valuable, as the emigrations to
that country are astonishing. The deeds, with the
plotts, are lodged with the Printer hereof, who is em
powered to fell the said lands—to whom any one in
clining to purchase will plcafe to apply.

^ Mi/ler wanted.
Employment for an honest, so
ber, industrious man, who understands manufacturing
wheat in the best manner, and is capable in every re
fpeCt of managing a mill, confiding of two pair of
stones, one of which are French burrs, situate near Po
towmack river, in Virginia, a fine healthy country—
alfo, to superintend the business of a cooper's shop,
wherein three hands are employed, near the mill.
If his knowledge extends to the mill-wright business,
so as to keep the running gears in repair, it would add
to the convenience ; and his having a small family
would be preferable to none. He will be furnifhed
with a comfortable dwelling-house contiguous to the
mill, a good garden properly paled in, and perhaps
some other c'onveniencies, as may be stipulated and
agreed on. He mud produce unquestionable recom
mendations of his honesty, sobriety, and industry, to
his Excellency General Washington, Mount Vernon,
in Virginia, or to the fubferibers in Philadelphia, who
will contract with Ack jArfon on generous terms.

Tbofe marked thus, * are new Members, the reji

face the removal of the Legislature to this City.
1 he merchants of Boston, having conceived great
disgust at the late arrivals there of large quantities of
British manufactures, consigned only to Agents , and
Supercargoes from the Houses of the Shippers, on the
18th instant assembled, with the traders and many in
habitants of the town, at Colonel Marfton's Long
Room, to confider what difeouragement should be
given to the British factors who were residing here,
and monopolizing to themselves the benefits of com
merce. Governor Hancock being present, notwith
standing his indisposition cf health, he was chosen
Moderator, and conduced with an address to which
the publick are in a great measure indebted for the
noble manner in which the business issued. In every
collection ofmen where the redress of any grievance
is the~dbje^, there are some whose passions outrun
their reason. Some of this description were for ad
journing to Faneuil Hall, notwithstanding it was al
most evening, and pressed hard upon the Moderator
for a determination upon the question. By the man
ner in which he exercised that diferetion which is al
ways left with the person in the chair, time was given
to the Honourable Mr. Otis, Mr. Barrett, and feme
other gentlemen, to speak largely upon the conveni
ence of adjourning until the next morning, and in
the mean time to have a Committee to form some plan
in the closet to be adopted at the adjournment. The
meeting was accordingly adjourned to Saturday morn
ing at Faneuil Hall, when there appeared as respecta
ble an assembly of inhabitants as ever met at that
place. To life the words of Mr. Allen,
“ In full convene the city Senate fate,
"Our father s Jpirit rul'd the firm delate."
The attempts of the British, from motives of pro
fit or insidious policy, to drain us of our foecie, were
amply considered.
'ihe absurdity of encouraging their trade without
a treaty of commerce, was canvassed. Ihe neceflity
of some immediate difeouragement to the British fac
tors during the absence of our Legislature, and the
propriety of addressing the Legislature on the fubjed
at their next cemention, was fully debated. But the
greatest objed of all was to adopt some plan of com
municating to the merchants cf other ports, and other
states on the continent, the absolute necefiity of unit
ing in cne request to Congress, in behalf of commerce.
1 hefe fubjedts being spoken to with judgment, can
dour, and the spirit of liberty, the report of the com
mittee. containing a number of votes to be published
was accepted, and the meeting dissolved.
The following Votes were unanimoufy agreed to.
Whereas no commercial treaty is at present efra
blifhed between these United States and Great-!,ri
tain ; and whereas certain British merchants, fi&crs
and agents from England, now residing in this town,
who have received large quantities of ETglifh goods,
and are in expectation of receiving further fupplics,
imported in British bottoms and other ways, greatly to
the hindrance of freight in all American veflels ; and
as many more such persons are daily expelled to ar
rive among us, which threatens an entire monopoly of
all British importations in the hands of such mer
char.rs, agents or factors, which we apprehend will
operate to the prejudice of this country :
