On Wednesday last died at Jamaica, on Long
lfland, aged 67 Years, Mrs. Mary Colgen,
Widow of the late Revd. Mr. Colgen, for many Years
Reaor of that Parifli. Without the common Phrale
of Flattery, it may be justly said, if the peaceful
Temper of Christianity can bring us Comfort in Life:
If the blessed Hop^s of Immortality can support us
in Sickness, and make us triumph over Death; then
these Consolations wer@ all her own. As a Wife,
Parent and Friend, she travelled through the Path
which fhmeth more and more unto the perfect Day,
and by dying the Death of the Righteous, is gone to
meet her Reward in Heaven.
On Tuesday last a Poll was opened at the City-
Hall, for the Election of Twenty-one Deputies, to

Committee Chamber, Newark, March 15th, 1776.
THE committee taking into consideration a petition
from a refpeaable number of inhabitants of this

undue advantages being taken, by reason of the scarcity
of sundry articles, in consequence of the pre fentconteft
with Great-Britain, have resolved to regulate the prices

that the prices here must of necessity be governed by those

&c. freight, cartage, and a compensation for buying and
felling. And it is hereby recommended to all venders and
retailers of the above articles, that they neither demand
nor receive therefor any greater prices than are afeertained

abovementioned reftriaions in New-York. And it is
Resolved and hereby declared, that on proof being
made to this committee of any person having after the

In Committee of Safety, New-York, April 19, 1776.
THE Continental Congress having by resolve on the
21st of March last, recommended it to the feveraJ
Affembiies, Conventions, and Councils, or Committees
of Safety, and Committees of Correspondence and la
fpe&icn, that they exert their utmost endeavours to pro
mote, among other things, the culture of hemp, flax and
cotton, and the growth of wool in the United Colonies:
It is therefore most earnestly recommended to the inha
bitants of this colony, to attend to the following consi
derations, which, exclusive of the least regard to the
public good, must engage every Farmer, from a just
attention to his own private interest, to the increase of
the staples of hemp, flax and wool. By the restraints
/rich the Parliament of Great-Britain have most tyran
nically imputed upon our commerce, and the danger thence
fifing on the exportation of provisions, the Husbandman
fas no inducement to employ his skill and industry in the
produce of those articles, beyond the necessities of home
ronfumption. It is therefore evident that the culture of
grain must, under our present circumstances, naturally
diminish. This diminution ought, from motives both of
private interest and public utility, to be compensated for
by the improvement of our lands, in such a way as will
most infallibly be attended with great profit to the land
holder ; as by the danger to which our exports are exposed,
the usual growth of grain will necessarily be difeouraged,
it will be laudable economy to devote a larger part of our
lands than usual, to the culture of hemp and flax, and
the pasturing of sheep. The present great scarcity of
linen and woollen goods will be encreafed to a diftrefling
degree, by the continuance of arbitrary parliamentary re
straints on our trade and prudent continental reftriaions
on our imports ; the latter of which would indeed necffa
rily fail, were there no other reasons for it than the want
of fu fiicient exports to support them. From this scarcity
we may in a great measure be relieved without loss to the
Public, and with manifeft profit to the Farmer, by im
proving our lands in such manner as will furnifh both
eloathing and employment for our inhabitants. Our foil
and climate naturally invite us to it, but our necessities
and the prosperity of the Husbandman clearly command
it. It is doubtless the most advantageous use to which
in ordinary times, we can apply our lands; but at this
jundure, the advantage will be so highly improved by
the enhanced prices of hemp, flax and wool, that every
Farmer who neglects to take uncommon pains for the
encreafe of those necessary articles, will be most culpably
inattentive to the general weal and his own private inte
rest : Little therefore would need to be said on this head,
were we not urged to it by its vast importance. For this
reason this Committee do earnestly recommend it to every
Farmer in this colony, to exert himfelf to raise large
And fefaflCommitties are hereby federally autho
rized and tmpbwered in Behalf and on Account oj this
Colony, to contract with proper Persons Jor erecting
said Works, and carrying on the said ManuJaaurh
under the Superintendance and Direction oj the jaid
Committees; and the said Committees are hereby di
refled to report to the Provincial Congress or Com
mittee of Safety,from Time to Time, their Proceedings
in the Premises, and the Progress that fball be made in
said Manufacture.
And to encourage the fating up oj private Works,
tend the Manufacture of Salt-Petre in private
Families, which is the only Way of obtaining a speedy
and effectual Supply of that Article, the Committees
hereby appointed in the several Counties are empowered
and authorized to purcbafe, on Account oj the Provin
cial Congress of this Colony, all well refined SALT-
Petre, that jball be made in this Colony, and offered
to them for Sale, before the jirfi Day oj November next,
at the Rafe 0/ Six Shillings per Pound.
Audit is further recommended to the Committees of
the several Cities, Counties, Towns, Manors, Pre
cinfis, and DifriCts in this Colony, in the Neighbour
hood oj any Places fufpeded to contain Mines oj Sul
phur, that they cause diligent Search to be made for
such Mines in their refpedive DifriNs, and report
their Discoveries to the Provincial Congress, or the
Committee of Sajety of this Colony, without Delay.

In Committee of Safety, New-York, April 18, 1776.
WHEREAS many inconveniencies may arise by
admitting the inhabitants of this colony to an
unrestrained commerce with the Continental Troops
Rationed in this colony :
Therefore Resolved and Ordered, That any inhabitant of
this colony, do not, on any pretence whatever, receive or
pUrcbafe from any non-commissioned officer or folcier in
the Continental Service, any goods, eloathing or other
articles whatsoever, unless such non-c®mmiffioned officer
or soldier shall firft produce to such inhabitant a certificate
signed ay the commanding officer of theregiment or com
pany to which such nen-commiffioned officer or soldier
belongs, fpecifying the particular goods or articles which
he or they are permitted to dispose of, together with the
name or names of the vender or venders ; and the several
Committees and Sub-committees in the refpe<ftive cities,
counties, towns, precinas and districts in this colony, are
hereby requested to fee that this resolution be ftrialy
complied with.
WHEREAS the Provincial Congress of this Colony,
by their Order of the 18th of February last, did
forbid all ConTmuntcation between the Ships ot War in
the Port of Nsw-York, and the Ship in which Governor
Tryon resides, on ths one Part, and all the Inhabitants of
the Colony on the other, except for Supplies of necessary
Provisions for the life of the said Ships only, under certain
Restrictions therein mentioned, and whereas the laid
Congress, on the Bth ot March last, did Resolve and Order
further Regulations, for furnifhing such Supplies as afore
faid, upon express Proviso however, that the said Supplies
were to take place and be continued on Condition that
there fhoufd be no obftruaion given to any Boats, or
Vessels bringing Provisions, Provender or Firewood, to
this City; which Obftru&iun has neverthelels been
repeatedly given, and the Benefit of such Supplies are
thereby become forfeited. And whereas the said Congress
by a Resolve of the sth of March last, did, among other
Things, authorize this Committee to execute, or cause
t* be executed, Orders, Resolves and Recommendations,
as well of the Continental as of the said Provincial Con
gress ; and also to comply, as far as this Committee shall
think proper, with any Requisition by the Generals of
the Continental Forces, or any, or either of them : And
whereas his Excellency General Washington, has, in
writing lignifies othi. Committee that he conceives any
intercourse whatsoever with the enemies on board laid
ships, is injurious to the common cause, by enabling
them while they are furnifhed with provisions to continue
in our harbours, and maintain a regular channel of in
telligence, advancive of their own plans, and to our great
disadvantage, and injury, and has thereby requested our
alliance in putting a flop to this evil, and to co-ope
rate with him in such measures as shall be effectual either
to prevent any future correspondence with the enemy, or
in bringing to consign punishment such persons as may be
hardy and wicked enough to carry it on. It is therefore
resolved ard ordered, that no inhabitant of this colony,
upon any pretence, or for any purpose whatsoever, either
in person, or in writing, directly or indirectly, do pre
sume to have, or maintain any intercourse whatsoever
with any Ship or vessel belonging to, or employed in the
service of the King of Great-Britain, or any of his
officers or ministers, or with any person or perlons on
board of the fame, upon pain of being dealt with in the
S„^ e st man ^, as enemies to the rights and liberties of
