INCLOSED you have a lift of sundry bills of Exchange
drawn on you, I wrote you relative to these bills on the
twenty ninth day of July last with sundry enclosures explana
tory of my letter lam now to inform you that the advices
contained in that letter must from particular circumstances be
totally disregarded. Should any of the bills mentioned in the
cuclofea lift come to your hands you will be pleated
TO PROTEST THEM,
And assign, if you please, as a reason therefor, that you have
express inftru&ions to that purpose. The uncertainty whether
you have received my cypher prevents my uling it on this oc
cafioh. The importance of the fubjeft obliges me to write,
and as I fend many copies, the rifque of capture and infpedion
is too great to be more particular.
The Gazettes will funnifh you with our latest intelligence,
that of New York anounces the arrival ®f near 3000 Hessian
troops, and the capture of the Trumbull frigate, neither of
these arc very agreeable circumftanees. However we must
wait the course of events, and struggle as well as we can a
gainst adverse fortune. Our affairs to the southward wear no
unpleafoig afped, and alt ho' it is impossible at this distance to
determine what effect European movements may have on
American politicks, our government acquires daily a firmnefs
and liability which will not be easily shaken. I have the ho
nour to be with great refped your mod obedient
