" Our Assembly have closed their session, having
gompleated their business. —They have perfectly com
plied with the resolves of Congress upon finance; to
which there was no great opposition. A number of
merchants declared in the Houle of Assembly, that
whatever they had which were neceflary tor the
consumption of the army, they would part with chear
fully, and receive in payment either the bills before
ordered by this State, or those to be emitted pursu
ant to the resolves of Congress, as being equivalent
to silver or gold. The rich farmers made the like
declaration. The Assembly of Massachusetts have alio
complied with thole resolves."

“ Our Assembly have adopted the plan of Con
gress on finance. They have also taken up the sup
plies for the army, and appointed Col. Champion tor
the purchase of cattle, pork and flour, &c. ana Capt.
Watson for the purchase of rum and hay. We have
had a meeting of the merchants, and the 21st instant
presented a paper to the Assembly of which the en
closed is a copy. To-morrow Capt. Watson begins
his purchase, and you may be assured he will succeed.
it is in the power of a few of us to procure one fourth
part of the supply of rum called for by this State
immediately."
The following is the Address above referred to :
" To the Honourable General Assembly of the
State of Connecticut, assembled at Hartford.
WE, the fubferibers, merchants and traders, deeply
sensible of the great importance that the money di
rected to be emitted by a late Ad of the Legislature
of this State, should have a free circulation, beg leave
to inform your honors that notwithstanding the los
ses we have sustained by sea, and the depreciation
of the Continental currency, and receiving many of
our old debts at the nominal sum, we are neverthe
less ready, willing and determined to fell luch arti
cles to the public as we usually trade in, at the rate
affixed by the Hon. Continental Congress, for the se
veral States to supply them at, and receive the afore
laid emissions in payment ; we having a firm reliance
that the bills will be punctually and justly redeemed.
And we do assure ourselves that our brethren the far
mers and tradel'men will be as ready as we are, to
furnifh in the fame manner we do, their produce and
manufactures, as we believe a spirit of harmony and
friendship is like to prevail between the trade and
landed interest, and that all orders of men in this
State are resolved immediately to contribute all in
their power to furnilh supplies for the armies of the
United States, and to continue these supplies to the
end of the war. We desire your purchasing Com
missary may be immediately ordered to make his pur
chases of such articles as are in our way, that we
may have an opportunity to shew how much in ear
ned we are in this our declaration.
Hearing the Assembly were about to be dissolved,
we have hastily collected such of the commercial peo
ple as were nearest, but we are sure we speak the
sentiments of a great majority of that order of people
in this State.
We beg leave to fubferibe ourselves, your honors

ministry, and talk of independence. When the Par
liament met, a very extraordinary feene was opened,
Patriots, Placemen, Courtiers and Pensioners joined
in petitions for the Freedom of Commerce; and the
liberties of Ireland became the public scheme. The
men who possessed lucrative offices seemed disposed
to facrifice all for the good of their country. The
virtuous struggle has already met with deferred suc
cess. We have obtained liberty to export all kinds
of woollens, linens, cottons, and glass, manufactured,
together with haberdashery wares, to all parts except
Bast-Indies; and to import all the product of the
Weft-Indies and America, fubjeft to the fame duties
asin England ; besides some other advantages.
"The English minißry seem determined to conquer
rfrth-America, if they beggar the nation. They
talk of fending out to,coo frefh troops in the spring,
but they chiefly depend on divihons to happen among
the Americans. Many ministerial pamphlets are pub
lilhing, to shew the immense value and importance
of North-America to Britain, and how absolutely ne
cessary the reduction thereof is to her very existence.
This present year will colt 32 millions, and increase
the national debt to two hundred millions."

We hear that his Excellency General Washington
has received a letter from the Marquis de la Fayette,
a Major-General in the service of the United States,
informing him of his arrival at Boston ; and that he
intends to pay him a visit at Head-Quarters, in a
few days.
Saturday last three men were executed at Phila
delphia, for burglary.
" Obftru&ons are compleating in the passage of the
Cooper, in order to keep open a communication with
the country for fuccours and supplies."
'' General Woodford's brigade of Virginia troops
arrived the 7th instant, and the North-Carolina mili
tia are coming in."
By several persons who left New-York a few days
ago, it appears, that no accounts were then receiv
ed of an attack being made by the enemy against
Charleftown ; and that a Packet had arrived at New-
York from England, but no news had transpired be
fore they came away.
This day the General Assembly of this State
meet here.
" Seven fln'ps of war have passed Fort Moultrie,

reach of Fort Moultrie, and as they could not get
her off, they burnt her.

force, and the next day moved down and encamped
about a mile and three-quarters from our lines. They
have broke ground in several places, the nearest of
which is 600 yards ; what they have done as yet seems
calculated rather to cover their approaches than to
annoy us.

as the calks were not tight, he got John Crofsley,
cooper, of Trenton, to start said oil into tight calks.
There remains 90 gallons, as may be seen by said
Crofsley's account of charges. The owner of said
oil may have it, paying the damage it has done the
