' 1 has long experienced the perplexities and
losses attending outstanding accounts, and the want
of punctual payments. Although the price is now
as low as the expences of paper, 'Wages, &c. will
admit, yet for the fake of avoiding these inconve
niencies, he would be willing to make an extraor
dinary abatement, were the price of a year paid by
advance within a reasonable time. He therefore
proposes to set the paper for a year at Ten Shil
lings, gold or silver, provided the fame be ad
vanced at any time within three months from the
2jth of last month, when the year commenced, and
the whole of a packet be on that footing. He will
also in this case take produce at the current market
rates. If by any means whatever the paper should
be difeontinued, the money or produce will be return
ed in due proportion. 1 hole subscribers for the
present year, who do not prefer these terms will be
considered under those mentioned in this Gazette
the 25th ult. No. 187.
The Printer earnestly requests the packet-mas
ters and others who are in arrear, to pay off their
refpedive balances immediately.
