Eafterlv Winds prevailed so much on the Coalt ol
England," the latter End of November and beginning
of December, that federal Vessels from America that
might otherwise have been arrived, had not, the
Middle of December; which caused Insurance to
rife prodigiously, insomuch that 40 per Cent, was
offered on the Ship Britannia, (formerly Capt. Van
Horne) from this Port for London : She failed from
hence the Beginning of October, but fprunk a Leake,
put back, got into Philadelphia, and failed again
from thence the latter End of O&oben
Last Tuesday after a lingering Illness, died at her

On Friday last, at Messieurs Sharp and Curtenius's
Furnace, in this City, a Cylinder was 6 cast for the

attempted in America, and allowed by Judges to be
extremely well executed.
Last Saturday his Honor our Lieut. Governor,
entered into the 88th Year of his Age.
The uncommon open Weather that we have had
for some Time past, has brought down many Sloops
from Fish-Kills, Poughkeepsie, &c. insomuch, that
the like was scarce ever known in America, at this
Season ; by which Means many Vessels have got full
Loads of Wheat, Flour, &c. and have failed for Eng
land, &c. &c.
The Piece inserted in our last, ^ddreffed “To
his Majesty's Justices assembled at the General Quar
ter Sessions of the Peace, for the City and County
of New-York," was put into the Printer's Hands for
Publication, by a Gentleman who served on the late
Grand Jury; but we can assure the Public that the
laid Piece was not delivered into the Court by the
Foreman, nor signed by him.
Extras of a Letter from Kent Count, on Delaware.
“ With regard to political matters, the people here
begin to change their sentiments, concluding in their
more deliberate moments, that such violent mea
sures as have been pursued, will not heal, but on the
contrary widen he breach; many, who have kept
their sentiments to themselves, begin to whisper their
dislike of the proceedings gone into. I believe the
Friendly Address and other performances of the
moderate stamp, have done much good, in opening
the blind eyes of many, and when people come to
taste feelingly of the hardships, which a suspension of
trade will occasion, they will change sides, nay, I
believe, if the King's standard was now ere&ed, nine
out of ten would repair to it.
“ The people have not, till lately, considered the
consequences of a civil war with so brave and pow
erful a nation as that of Great-Britain ; the heat and
rage of party had not given them leisure to reflect on
the devaluation and havock it would occasion, and if
our rashness should yet bring one on, Quere, if such
reflexions as these would not a rife with many ? I
have seen this land bleft with Peace and Plenty, under
the happiest form of government in the world;
every branch of business flourifhing ; men secured in
their liberty and property ; a trade open to foreign
parts of the would, occasioned a ready sale for our
produce ; I have been in possession of a wife and
and many children, some of whom are numbered
among the slain, and others far separated ; I have
lived in a happy harmonious neighbourhood, where
the violence of party and the appellations of Whig
and Tory were unknown. Who could think that a
three penny duty on tea could have occasioned all
these difficulties, when only a refufal to purchase the
article would have kept us free.
Boston, January 9th, 1775.
“ Gentlemen,
" The Committee appointed by the Inhabitants of
this Town to receive and distribute the Donations of
our Friends, for the Benefit of the Sufferers by the
Boston Port-Bill, acknowledge your several Letters
of the 7th and 17th December last, inclofing Tnvoic,
PHILADELPHIA, February 15.
of Flour, &c. amounting, with Charges, to One
Thousand and Sixty-two Pounds, Nine Shillings
and ^fix-pence; which, agreeable to your kind
Wishes, are come fate to Hand.
“ I am direXed by the Committee, to request,
that you would assure our Benefactors, the worthy
Citizens of New-York, of their warmed Gratitude
for the very seasonable Relief they have afforded their
Brethren in this Place, by such generous Donations
in this most difficult Time, of the Year. While we
acknowledge the Superintendency of divine Provi
dence, we feel our Obligation to the Sifter Colonies.
By their Liberality they have greatly chagrin'd the
common Enemies of America, who flattered fhem
felves with Hopes, that before this Day, they should
have starved us' into Compliance with the insolent
Demands of defpotick Power: But the People,
reliev'd by your charitable Contributions, bear the
Indignity with becoming Patience and Fortitude.
They are not insensible of the Injuries done them,
as Men, as well as free American Subjects, but they
restrain their just Resentment from a due Regard to
the Common Cause. The Committee beg the Favour
of you, Gentlemen; to return their Thanks to our
worthy Brethren of Marble-Town, for the valuable
Donation receiv'd from them.
“ I am, with due Acknowledgments, for the Care
you have taken in trahfmitting these Donations, in
the Name of the Committee,
Gentlemen,
Your affectionate Friend,
And humble Servant."

At a Convention of Committees, for the County of
Worcefer, in Mafachufetts-Ba,, convened at the
Court-House in Worse,er, several Refolds were
paged and unanimously agreed to, which are too
long for our Paper this Week, and have only Room
for the following, viz.
HEREAS the enemies of those united colonies
are indefatigable in their endeavoursjo create
divisions among the inhabitants, and as there arc
several printers on the continent, viz. and
Gaine, of New-York,--- M and H ,andD
of Boston, that incessantly assist them in theif endea
vours by publishing their scandalous performances in
their several news-papers: Therefore Resolved, 1 hat
it be recommended to the good people of this county
not to take any more of the aforefaid papers, but that
they encourage those printers who have invariably
appeared friendly to this country.
While we acknowledge the humanity of the Cor
poration, in supplying a quantity of wood and
, provisions for the fubliftence of the prisoners confined
for debt in the goal of this city; and applaud the
butchers for their late generous and seasonable dona
tions, for the fame benevolent purposes; we are
obliged to inform the public, that instances of liber
alitv fall greatly ihort of relieving the complicated
miseries under which those unhappy people languish :
In addition to a close confinement, and the deftreffes
inseparable from poverty and want, a fever prevails
in the gaol, of which some have died, and others lay
dangerously ill : while the rest are trembling under
the apprehension of being visited by the fame cala
rttity.„
There, therefore, never was a time in which the
humane and benevolent were more earnestly called
upon, or had a fitter opportunity of,difpencing their
charity, and it is not to be doubted but the fame
beneficent spirit which always distinguished the inha
of this city, will be effectually exerted 6n this me
lancholy occasion.
Since the Appearante of the foregoing Paragraphs
in Thursday's Papers, several good People have left
Cash with Hugh Gaine for the above laudable De
sign; 'tis therefore requested of those who incline to
be aiding in this Praise-worthy Measure, to be as ex
peditions as may be in the fame.
The Verses from Elizabeth-Town, shall be in our
next.

WHEREAS the store of the fubicriber, in Newark;
county of Eftex, and province of East New-
Jersey, was, on Sunday night the 12th inst. broke open
by some persons unknown, and robbed of furidry goods,
viz. A piece of fine cambrick, part of a piece of Irilh
linen, 10 pair of fine ribb'd worsted hose, 4 pair of fine
black do; some plaited flioe buckles, 2 pair of mens shoes,
I black handkerchief, 3 pair of stone ear-rings, I stone
ring, I gold locket, sundry silver (hoe and knee buckles,
3 small tea Skimmers, 1 pair silver clasps, with sundry
other articles, and a small sum of money, supposed to be
stolen bv'two men, Who were seen on Sunday evening at
all the taverns in this place, pretending they wanted
' lodgings, both ill-dooming fellows; one a pretty tall
man ; had on a (hurt light blue or pale coloured coat,
fyan/kin jacket, greasy leather breeches, and lop'd hat;
The other a (hotter man, smooth fac'd ; had son a claret
colour'd furtout, and a smart cock'd hat; has black cur
led hair, and a silver watch in his pocket ; said they were
deserters from Boston. The tallest man pretended to be
a shoemaker, the other a silversmith ; enquired the way
to New-York and Philadelphia, and since have not been
seen here. It is strongly ftippofed they are the identical
persons that committed the robbery, and are still lurking
in or about some of the adjacent towns or villages, as they
/Lave not passed Powles-Hoolc ferry, and boats from twd.
ferries were carried to the pppofite Ihore the fame night;
The shop of Mr. Jofliua Hurtins, silversmith, was broke
open arid a parcel of pinchbeck bucltles taken away, and
ah attempt made oh the store of Mr. Hadden's, but were
alarmed by some of the family, the fame night, which
occasions a stronger suspicion of their being the offenders;
Therefore, whofoeyer may apprehend them, and secure
them in any of his Majesty's goals, so that they may be
brought to justice, shall have the above reward, and all
tea forcible charges, paid by '. GARRET THIBOU.
£, It is imagined, by their (peech, that the tallest
person is a native qf Ireland, the other an Englifhman^
and it is probable will, or have taken the Philadelphia or
Morris Town roads. They left behind them an post ax and a
clever, with which it is supposed they forced the window
and inside door.
