Mr. GAINE,
Please, in your next paper, to insert the following
extra& of a letter from Captain Kandefut, of his
Majelly's drip A,a, to Abraham Lott, contractor
for supplying the King's /hips' on this station,
dated the 9th of Sept. 1775, with a view to cor
rect a paragraph in Mr. Holt's last week's Journal.
« IY7ILL you do me the favour to contradict a
" VV paragraph in Mr. Hoh's paper, in which
“ he fays that the man of war had flopped several
“ vessels with provifiohs, at'd that we had set our
“ own,rice upon whatsoever we chose to take? The
“ truth is, that we have not taken or bought any
“ fort of provisions from any yeffel, except three
“ hundred oj iters which I bought yesterday, and
“ for which I gave the owner two fhiilings more
“ than what he told me was the market price. The
“ transport has, I believe, got a few fowls and docks
“ for their lea flock, not being able to procure any
“ from the Ihore ; but I am well allured, that wh.t
---“ ever price was'*afked for them, was paid, and
“ that the officer io the transport ha; receipt, for
" whatever few things he has bought. I fliould rim
“ have taken notice of this, as I fcarccly fuppre
, any one who knows me would behove it ; b : ±
'« think it would be blame-worthy in any one rm to

ABBE Raynal's History of the two Indies, has
the following Passage concerning the People of the
North-American Colonies. Vol. 7, Page 137.
The Style of the original French is inimitable.
His Woiks the Heighth of philosophical Freedom.
" '1 MIE inhabitants are frong, healthy and quell
j, fa,ed; brifeer, and oj a quicker growth,
but shorter lived than the Europeans. The price oj
provifons being low,the, live pleatfull, on fft,gram,
game, fruit, beer, cyder and vegetables. Their cloth
ing, whether imported or of their own mauwa&ure,
is dear. As to their manners, the, are curat they
ought to be in a new country—amongf bifaummen,
neither policed nor debauched b, the vicinity oj great
cities. Oeconowy, decency and good order, prevail in
their families. The women, as th, Jbeuld be, are
sweet tendered, mode,, comfeaffionate and bSlpjul.
The, have virtues, that will perpetuate the empire
of their charms. The men give their attention to the
improvement of their farms, for the maintenance of
their families. They are united by a general bene
volence. Nothing contributes to that union, like an
easy equality, the feburity begot by property, the com
mon hope and facility of inlarging their ,tf,ons,
and the independency created by their mutual wants
and pleasures. In,cad of luxury, the parent of po
verty—that hideous and d,reffing contra,, ticre is
a universal e&fe, arfug from indufry and the early
and 'wife distribution of landed property. Ibis case
inffoes a de,re to be agreeable to each otber---a difire,
affording a fatisjaflion, never connected with that ill
will, infeperable from an extreme inequclit, oj rank
arid fortunes. The man is never unhappy, who is
neither so detached from feciety, as to acquire a 1,1,s
indifference towards it, nor so much in it, as to ue
fired with that degree of envious emulation, which
nearly amounts to hatred. The Americans live near
each other, and become daily more elofely conneaed.
They lead that rural kind of life, which was the
original condition of mankind ; and of all others mo,
friendly to health and the propagation of the species.
Perhaps they enjoy al the felicity, of which the frail
fate of humanity is capable. You are net to look tore
for the ornaments, the dfiegu^ed talents, and th fe
fxr-fetched pleasures procured by a labour fid expence,
imploving and wearying the fprtngs oj invention, and
bringing on the fames cf melancholy, afer the jigbs
of gratification ; but for homebred delights, parental
and filial attachments, and conjugal love, that pure
and captivating paftn, which once felt, renders all
other Loves def,icable. Tris is the inchanting jtgbt
you behold in all parts of North- America. In the
groves oj Virginia and Florida, and even in the very
forefs oj' Canada, you find that what a man loved
once, he continues to love all the re,,f bis lif&---Inno
cence and virtue, which never permit beauty to fade
dwey entirely.
A general national character, seems to be what is
mo, wanting in these colonies. There are up and
down the country, jamides from various parts oj
Europe. In every di,rift where choice or chance has
placed them, they preserve a violent attachment to
their native languages, prejudices and cufoms. Their
federate fcbools and churches prevent them from tntey
mingling with the bofpitakle people, to whom they are
indebted for their places of refuge. Strangers to the
werjbip, manners and sentiments of the Engbjh na
tion, they are broaamg over the feeds of aifention,
that may in a future day ruin and overturn the colo
nies ; a due efablifoment of government will be the
only preservative again, these difafers.
By government, I don't mean tbofe unnatural con
fitutions in Europe, which are an absurd medley of
laws, civil and sacred. Englijb America has been
so wife or fortunate, as never to admit of clerical
powers in that country. Settled at so, by Prejbyte
rians, they have eyed the fhadww if it with horror,
and always rejected it. Such affairs as in other coun
tries, jail under the cognizance of fin eccle,a,ical court,
compofedof the Prieiihood, are brought here, before a
Magistrate or the General Artembly. The efforts of
the Englifb to efahlifh their hierarchy among, them,
have never succeeded, tho' countenanced by the mother
country. They foare nevertbedfs as well as other
perfuafons, in the colony government. The Roman
Catholics alone are excluded, because they rejufe the
oaths, which the public tranquillity seems to require.
In this refpchl the American government deserves the
highest applause, but in certain other points oj view,
its parts are not closely cemented.

To the Public in general, the rcfpe&able Inhabitants of
this City in particular,
WHEN a Man stands charged with having com
mitted an Offence which at firfl View may lay
him open to the Cenlure of his own particular Friends,
and render him odious to the Community, it behooves
him in the most immediate Manner to vindicate himfelf,
altho' such Charge be only founded upn Envy and De
si n ; as will, with great Deference, appear in the pre
sent Cae.
Some ffiort Time before the Election in the Ont-ward
of this City for Officers in the Militia, my Friends and
Acquaintance proposed the putting me in Nomination for
Captain. I top them I was very content to remain in
m? Station as a Grenadier in Col. Lasher's Company, but
if it # as their Pleasure tS do to, and 1 should be chose, I
would serve to the belt of my Ability,
When the Election came on, a certain Ibomas Hard
ing (who had put another Person in Nomina ion lor Cap
tain) was pleated to urge my being an improper Person to
serve in fuch' Poll, for that I had been guilty of cursing
the Congress; or. Somewhat to that Effea. I carted
publickly upon IforErg for his Author; he said he could
prove ir, and wc.hu lay a Complaint against me, bo r h to
the Coogrefs and Committee. I waited on these respec
table Bodies, and foiled Harding had very daringly laid
the imposing Complain, but could in no Way fusp rt it.
Ofmy Conduct and Principles, tbofe can best judge with
whom I have had De/ings the several Years I have lived
in the City ; and to you i fubmir, what Sort or M nner
of Man he muff be who in Violation of God's especial
Command, “ gives falfe Evidence against his Neighbour:"
With Sincerity I declare myfelf a Friend to the Liberties
ofc America, and as such remain
Your very humble Servant,
