South-Ambo,, March 20, 1778.
NOTICE is hereby given that two Negro men
lately came over from Staten-Island, and landed
at South-Amboy; the one is a sturdy young fellow
named,JOE, about 26 years of age, and about five
feet ten inches high : the other is also a sturdy fellow
named JACK, about sixty years of age, and about
fix feet high; both of them are supposed to belong
to persons in this state. The fubferiber has them in
charge, and is in fear that they may by chance get
away ; and therefore desirous that the owner or own
ers of said Negroes may speedily apply, prove their
, property, pay charges, and take them away.
6w* JAMES MORGAN, Capt.
order to remedy the manifold inconveniences arising
from these causes, and, as much as possible, to guard
against abuses in future, great care will be taken to
engage such persons in the department who are the
best adapted to the business of their fcveral employ
ments, and the most likely to preserve a proper de
portment and to give fatisfaCion to the well-disposed
part of the community, in the refpeCive diftrids
assigned them. To this end punctuality in payment
for such articles as shall be purchased, will be highly
necefDry; and we mean to preserve it as far as possible:
But as it will be impracticable to make such a distri
bution of cash as will enable every person employed
in purchasing to pay as he goes, regular printed cer
tificates will be put into the hands of the Deputy-
Quarter-Masters to be filled up and delivered out to
the people from whom purchases shall be made. In
every State where these certificates are distributed,
persons will be appointed to attend and pay them off
at certain ihort periods, and at such places as will
best accommodate the inhabitants ; of which publick
notice will be given. This mode, it is imagined
will relieve the tellers of produce from the difficul
ties and difappoiritments so much complained of.
The certificates, having a fettled form, and being
put into the hands of none but those who will have
authority to sign and pass them, will at once save
the receiver from the delay and difficulty frequently
happening from the want of form, and from the
doubt and uncertainty of the authority of the signers
of them ; and, as they .will be paid to any person
who may possess them, having the firft proprietor's
name thereon endorsed by himfelf, they may be ne
gotiated as cash in the intervals of payment, or at
least be presented at the pay-office with the less trou
ble to the proprietor.
As it is our earned desire, and will be our constant
endeavour to accommodate the whole business of
our department to the ease and convenience of the
inhabitants of the country, as far as shall be confid
ent with the good of the service, we hope to receive
their cheerful aid and assistance on all pecafiens in
promoting the common cause of American freedom,
and the rights of mankind.

Two Shillings and Six-pence for every Continuance ; and long Ones in Proportion.
FROM the great number of deputies and agents
necessarily employed in the Quarter-Master-
Generai's department, and from the unavoidable
hurry in which much of the business has been tranf
aded, —*hich has greatly increased the number of
those deputies and agents, and, in some instances,
has occasioned the employment of improper persons,
many irregularities have taken place in the depart
ment. That order and regularity which is necessary
to the well-conducing a business so important and
extensive, has been much broken in upon ; and
many of the good people of 'the country have com
plained of disappointments and ill treatment. In
