True extracts,
Attest. Wm, BRADFORD, Secry of the Province.
The Spanish force which took New Providence confided it
is said, of two thousand regular, and three hundred coloured
soldiers embarked in upwards of 60 final! vessels, which were
convoyed by the rebel frigate South Carolina, commanded by
Gillon, and a Spaniih ship of twenty guns.
The greatest part of the above fleet had left New Providence
before the flag failed, destined as was given out there, for
Cape Francois. If this be true, and the Spaniards persevere in
their intentions, they may probably form the projected junc
tion with their allies in the Port of Kiugfton, as the gallant
Hood who now cruizes to the windward of Hilpknibla, will
doubtless let flip no opportunity of bringing them together.
Capt. Sharp, with a few cf our mounted militia, in an ex
curfibn he made to Amelia township last week, fell in with a
party of rebel militia on their march from the Congarces to
Gen. Greene's camp, whom he instantly charged, killing four,
and putting the rest to flight.
All the rebel militia, in the northern parts of this province,
are in motion towards Little Peedee, as the truce made with
our friends in that country, after the evacuating of George
town last summer, expires on the 17th inst.

I ne gratuities are usual voluntary donations, either from
publick offices or individuals; the yearly accounts are made
up to Michaelmas eve; and therefore the accounts of the re
<erpts and payments of the year 1780, v hich is the year we are
enquiring into, are maceup to the Michaelmas of that year.
In the firft five of these offices, the principal appoints the
deputy and clerks. Ihe firft four of them have tables hung up
in each office, by which their fees are regulated; those fee^
consist either ot a poundage, or of certain payments for parti
cular articles of business tranfafted in each office, and are paid
by the persons either paying in, or receiving money out of the
Exchequer, qr applying f or t h e j r particular bufiuefs.
I return made toour precept by the Duke of Newcastle-.
Auditor of the Receipt of his Majesty's Exchequer, and the exa
^Tr'''° ns ° f Ed ^ rd Wilford, Esq; his firft Clerk, and ofMr.
v\ nham Jones, the Tally Writer, supplied us with a know
ledge of the Rate of the emoluments received by the officers
and clerks in this branch of the Exchequer, the business of
wmeh is tranfatted by the Auditor and twenty-three fixed
Clerks, with other occasional afiiftants when wanted.
, The Auditor is appointed for life, by a constitution under
tee hands and fcals of the Commissioners of the Treasury; all
the Exchequer tills, orders, debentures, patents, and other
inLiuments which pass this office, are Signed by him ; the of
ficial profits are not received by himfelf, but by his First Clerk,
who accounts with him for them every month: he receives
eleven annual allowances, enumerated in an account trans
muted to u , and inierted in the appendix, amounting to three
thousand seven hundred fixty-lix pounds ore fhilfing: he has
a ^nail annual fee from the wardrobe of four pounds, Seven
teen findings; and is entitled to fees upon the receipt of money,
into, and ifiue of money out of the Exchequer; 'he -firft a=
mounted to one hundred and seventy pounds th riven Ghlin,si
and nine-pence, the latter, to twelve thousand five hundred.
Etty-four pounds two (hillings and fix-pence. 'I he film he re
ceived by fees for entering patents, and upon imprest bills,
was thirty-nine pounds, five Shillings, and in gratuities three
d fifty-five pounds ieven {hillings; t- e gross amount
of all whicn \va, Sixteen thoufana eight Lu dred and eighty
pounds, fix' Shillings and three-pei cc : out of which fam he
made the following payments; for taxes, eight hundred even
ty-two pounds twelve Shillings; to cierks, one thousand fix:
, "' " xt y™ tw °pounds ten Shillings ; for incidental expences
or o.ccc, three hundred twenty-nine pounds and two-pence ;
together, two thousand eight hundred and Sixty-four pounds
two Shillings and two-pence; which reduced h^'s clear receipt
to fourteen thouiand and Sixteen pounds four Shillings and one
penny.
The firft clcik has an annual allowance of one hundred
pounds, and the clerk's fees, amounting to three thousand and
one pound sixteen Shillings and eight-pence ; his gratuities
were, one hundred forty-two pounds feventcen Shillings; mak
ing together three tnoufand two hundred and forty-four pounds
thirteen Shillings and eight-pence; reduced, by payments for
taxes, clerks, and incidental txpences, to two thousand fevea
hundred fifty two pounds three Shillings and fix-pence.
She rest of the clerks have Salaries in proportion to their
rar t a ? d employment, paid to them either by the Auditor or
his firlt or other clerks! they have tees likewise .nd gratuities,
of various kinds; and out of what they receive make various
raymcDts, an account of all which, as transmitted to us fron>
this office; is inserted in the appendix.
I he foundation ofthefe allowances and fees, and the autho
rity under which they are claimed and paid, are as follows:
Upon the King's accession a certificate is transmitted from
the auditor's office to the Treasury, pursuant to their requisi
tion, confiding of two lifts; one containing the several fees,
salaries, and allowances that have by ancient custom, letters
patent, constitutions, or other authorities, been paid to the
officers and Ministers of the Exchequer, either in right of their
offices and employments, or in reward for their Services ; the
other containing the fees, Salaries, or allowances, that have
been fettled and allowed them for their labour and expence in
managing and performing the business of the annuities payable
at the Exchequer. This certificate is fentJra\;k to the'r xche
quer, annexed to a warrant directed to the auditor, authori
zing him to draw orders or pass debentures for paying from
time to time, in the usual manner, and at the accufto^
times, to the (Liar's, the fams in the certificates mentioned;
the firft lift, amounting to ore thousand e^m hu dred and one
pounds nine Hillings, out of the money applicable to his Ma
jesty's civil government ; the other, amour ing to five tin Land
nine hundred pounds, out cf the refpedti.e fund applicable to
the payment of the annuities.
This warrant States the authority, under which th T eafur,
issued it, to be, as to the firft lift, either he utters patent, con
stitutions, or authorities, whereby the officers hold their em+
ployments, or the general letters patent dpi mant by which the
King empowers them to make variety of payments then in de
scribed out of the civi p lift); and as to the second rift, either the
powers given to them by the refpedtive ads of parliament rela
tive to the annuities, or any other power in them being.
In this certificate are contained the eleven allowances paid
to the auditor: the two firft of them, amounting to four hun
dred and Sixty poundsthree Shillings and four-pence, are in the
firft lift, and paid to him in right of his office : the other nine,
making three thousand three hundred and five pounds Seven
teen Shillings and eight-pence, arc in the second lift, and paid
to him as a recompence for his trouble in the business of the
annuities, by virtue of the power vetted in the Treasury by the
several a&s, to provide tor the charges of management.
The fees of the auditor, upon the receipt of money, are;
ift. About one fourth part of the Tally Court fees; of which
fourth, his clerk attending in the Tally Court has a Share,
adly. Part cf a sum allowed by the Treasury to some cf the
Exchequer officers for the tallies of loan which are exempt
from fees.
The fees upqn the ifrue are, a poundage upon money issued
for certain Services, not for all services. In the year 1780, the
'{? °n which thg poundage fees were paid, was near eight
millions: upward^qf twenty-two millions more were issued
in that year, for which neitherthe auditor, nor his clerks, re
ceived any fees whatever. The other fees are, certain payments
for tranfading particular kinds of business. Ah these fees are
regulated by a table, fpecifying, both for the auditor and his
clerks, the rate, where it is a poundage, otherwise the quan
tum of each fee: this table is for the most part grounded upon
ulage, recognized as ancient by the Barons of the Exchequer
in the year 1692, as to those fees the fubjed matter of which
cxifted at that time; and acquiesced in, as to those fees the
fubje& matter of which is of a date subsequent to that year#
