notes, and deliver the fame to Thomas Smith, Esq.
Continental Loan-Officer, to enable him to pay one
year's interest on such of the said debts as are therein
described, according to the directions of the United
States in Congress assembled.
" That the said Loan-Officer refufes the payment
of the interest due to them on loan-office certificates
bearing date between the firft of September, 1777,
and the firft of March, 1778, unless they content to a
liquidation of depreciation on the interest of this class
of certificates, equal to that which is established for
the principal on the ifinal redemption.
" That this condition destroys the solemn contrasts
contained in the resolutions of the tenth of September,
1777, and adhered to in the resolve of the 28th of
June, 1780; the firft of which is, " That the interest
which shall arise after the date of this resolution on
loan-office certificates already issued, or which shall
be issued before the firft day of March next, be annu
ally paid at tire respective loan-offices, in bills of ex
change on the commissioners of the United States in
Paris, at the rate of five livres of France for every
Spanish milled dollar due for interest as aforefaid, or
in continental bills of credit, at the option of the re
fpedivc lenders." The other is, " That the interest
on all loan-office certificates at the rate of fix per cent,
per annum, computed on the principal alcerthned as
* aforef rid, Iliad be discharged annually in like man
ner as the principal, until the principal shall be paid.
Provided nevertheiefs, That the fame interest and mode
of payment on certificates taken out before the firft
day of March, 1778, shall be continued as at present,
until the principal, afeertained as aforefaid, be ready
to be discharged." ''That the memorialists, in be
half of the said publick creditors, pray Congress to
give directions agreeably to the intentions of the above
recited resolutions."
The committe farther report, that upon infpedinc
the journals of Congress, they find that Congress did,
on the fourth day of September, 1782, resolve, that
1,200,000 dollars be quotaed on the Rates as absolutely
and immediately necefl'ary for the payment of the in
terest of the publick debt; but no directions are con
tained therein relative to the liquidating the in'ereh
by the scale of depreciation—that on the 9h of Sep
tember, 1782, Congress direded, " That no bills of
exchange be issued for interest due on loan office cer
tificates since the firft day of March last" preceding.
And the committee are of opinion, that the inability
of Congress tc difeharge the intercity according to the
promise does not dissolve the fame—that the creditors
aforefaid are justly entitled to an equivalent—that the
debt is created by the refo'ution of the tenth of Sep
tember, 1777, and that no subs quent resolution has
invalidated the intention thereof; Whereupon,
Refolded, That the inters ft which has or may be
come due on loan-office certificates, bearing date be
tween the firft day of September, 1777, and the so it
day of March, 1778, is not fubjeded to any depreci

TO BE SOL D,
FOR SAL E,
AMoft elegant feat, little, if any inferior to an,
in Jersey, calculated either for the gentleman
or the man of business, situated in the township
of Amwell, in the county of fkmeidon, in a very
agreeable neighbourhood and healthy part of the coun
try; the profped beautiful, as it ore locks a large ex
tent of country ; the dwelling-house brick, well fi
nifhed, 36 feet by 40, two stories high, with 4 rooms,
on a floor, and a to feet entry through the whole, a,
neat court-yard in front newly enclosed with a neat
pale fence. Ihe farm contains near 400 acres of
good land, well watered and timbered, with a large
proportion of meadow ; feveial hundred apple-trees of
the best fruit, many of them grafted The south
branch of the river Raritan, a never failing flream,
passing through part of said farm, on which are a grist
mill and saw-mill, belonging to the premises, in good
repair, the running gears of the grid mill being mostly
made new last fummer,in which are two water-wheels,
with two pair of stones, one pait of which are Trench
birrs, a rolling screen, &c. going by water, and every
tiling in proper order for manufacturing of flour after
the best manner.—T he saw-mill new — i he stand for
c . try work equal to any in Jersey. "I his place be
it g equally distant from New-York or Philadelphia,
gives the choice of either market a material advantage
to the trader. There is a good Well of water by the
kitchen door; also newly erected water-works, simi
lar to those in Bethlehem in Pennsylvania, woiked by
the water-wheel of the saw-mill, which, without being
any obstruction to the sawing, elevates the water be
tween 60 and 70 feet, forges it under ground 250
yards, and brings it within a few feet of the kitchen
door, where it discharges about one hogshead of water
in a minute, which water, after supplying the house,
garden, &c is designed co be thrown over 25 or 30
acres of ground which lies near the house, and has a
beautiful defeent for watered meadow, a good barn,
wri gg on house, &c &c. It is not likely any person
inclining to purchase would wish a more minute ce
fcription, as a fight of the premises would be much
more fati^fa&ory. A clear and jndrfputable title will
be made, and possession given on the firft day of May.
