is fifteen hands and a half high, and was got by mr.

the Godolphin Arabian, his grandam by Babiaham,
his great grandam by Sedbury, and his great great
grandam by Childers, which was called Lord Port

BAJAZET is the fire of Selim, Kouli-Khan, the
late general Cadwalader's mare Maria that won with
case the sweep stakes at Chester-Town in Maryland
last fall. In ihort, the stock from this horse is equal
to that from any horse in America, which induced the
present proprietor to purchase him. Itisa well-known
fad, that general Cadwalader bred out of him with
great success for eight years —producing from him a
number of fine carriage-horses besides racers.

Whereas this house, apprehensive that a compliance

amble to the resolution of this.ho'pfe of the 20th ulti

with the duty they owe their constituents, comply
with the requisition of Congress of the 27th Septem
ber last, until all the states in the union shall comply
with the requisition of the 18th April 1783, or until
the several States having the advantage of commerce
shall forbear exacting duties from other states for their

Congress to this house have, by order of Congress,
communicated sundry evils which may atife to the
union by the determination of this house if adhered
to;
The house therefore, having re-considered the said

quisition, from a want of conformity to the rule of
adjusting the quotas of the several states contained in
the eighth article of the confederation, the alteration
of which rule not having been acceded to by all the
states can of course be binding upon none, must be
considered only as recommendatory ; notwithstanding
which, being willing to remove as far as in their pow
er every embarrassment from the counsels of the uni
on, and that the failure of supplies from temporary
demands, though clearly evinced from experience,
may not be imputed to the state of New-Jersey only,
do therefore
