To the Honourable the Members of the Legislature

Gentlemen,
I SHALL embrace the earliest opportunity of
transmitting to his Majesty the testimonies of
the part you have taken in the birth of the Dau

be very sensible of this mark of your affection and
refpett The alliance which unites our two nations
has become so intimate, that the fortunate events
which happen to either, afford an equal joy to both ;
and Providence, by granting a Dauphin to the
wishes of the nation, provides you a friend and an
ally. As the King is at present your support, so
will he in his turn be that of your posterity. I
eftcem myfelf happy, Gentlemen, in being charged
with conveying to the throne of his Majedy the as
surances of your refpedful sentiments on this occa
sion. They will be the more acceptable, as he al
ready knows how much the state of New-Jersey
has merited of the common cause, and is well in
formed of the zealous and patriotick proofs exhi
bited by her citizens on numerous occasions.

PROCLAMATION.
W'HEREAS it has been duly represented to
me in council, that between the hours of 9
and 10 o'clock in the evening of the 12th day of
June instant, the dwelling-house of Abraham Hen
dricks, collector of the township of Upper-Free
hold, in the county of Monmouth, was robbed by
a number of persons unknown, armed and associated
in a party, two of whom entered the laid house
with muskets, and besides putting the family in fear,
robbed the said house of money and effects to a
considerable amount:
1 have therefore thought fit, by and with the ad
vice and consent of the honourable the Privy Coun
cil, by virtue and in pursuance of a certain A& of
the Legislature of this State in such case lately
made and provided, to issue this proclamation, here
by promising a reward of FIFTY POUNDS, law
ful money, to any person who shall apprehend and
secure any of the persons concerned in committing
the said robbery, so as that such offender, who shall
be apprehended, be legally convicted thereof.

PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS Baker Hendricks, of the county
of Eflex, in this state, did, on or about the
nineteenth day of September, in the year of our
Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty,
receive a commission granted by the United States
in Congress assembled (and delivered to him by the
executive of this state) licensing and authorizing
him the said Baker Hendricks to fit out and let
forth in warlike manner two armed whale-boats,
refpe&ively called the Flying Squirrel and Charm
ing Betsey, as private vessels of war, to cruize against
the enemy:
AND whereas the United States in Congress as
sembled did, on the twenty-firft day of May last,
resolve, “ that the executives of the several states
" should be, and were, by the said resolution, au
" thorized, on information of illegal intercourse
" which had taken or should take place between the
" Captains of any private armed vessels belonging to
“ these states, and the enemy, or of any other mal
" conduct, to lufpend the commission of such Cap
" tains until the executive shall have examined into
" the offence; and if upon enquiry it shall appear
“ that the information is well founded, they are re
" quested to report their proceedings to the United
“ States in Congress aifemblcd, in which case the
" commission shall itand suspended until Congress
" shall have taken order thereon," as by the said re
solution, reference being thereunto had, may ap
pear:
AND whereas I have received information that
an illegal intercourse has taken place between the
said Baker Hendricks and the enemy under colour
of the said commission, and of other his mal-condud
in quality of Captain and Commander of the said
whale-boats, and of other boats of which he has as
sumed the command under colour of the said com
mission: I do therefore, by virtue of the said re
cited resolution, hereby suspend the said commissi
on; and the said Baker Hendricks is hereby ftri&ly
inhibited from ading in virtue or under pretext of
the fame, as he will answer the contrary at his pe
ril. And all officers and troops on the frontiers of
this state, and others whom it may concern, are
hereby directed and required to confider the said
commission as suspended, and henceforth unauthori
tative, until the Congress shall take farther and
other order in the premises, and to govern them
selves accordingly.
Given under my hand and seal at arms, at

To whom it may concern.
I The subscriber, administrator to the estate of
Elias Bland, late of Woodbridge, deceased, has
minutely enquired into the state of the deceafed's
affairs, and do find a large right of proprietorship
and other estates not yet digested, nor cannot be
very soon in the present state of affairs, it appears
likely enough to pay his debts. This is not intend
ed nor cannot affed any execution now or prosecu
tion, but to wait that affairs may be fully digested,
and that mull be done before any title of conse
quence can be given lawfully. I also have an ac
count from England that the friends of the deceased
intend to make up any defed, provided the best is
made of the estate in America.
