happily acquainted, made her beloved by all her
acquaintance, and an inestimable bluffing to those
with whom she was connected in the more dear
relations of life. Mrs. Robinson died by the
Small Pox, she was inoculated with a number of
others, and was .supposed to have the disorder,

PLEASE IO TAKE NOTICE.
THE Legislature of the State of New-York, viewing the
DEFENCE of their FRONTIERS as an obje& of great
importance, (not only to themselves but to the United States
in general) have parted an ad, in their late session in March
last, in which they have granted, to such Soldiers as shall
enlist in either of the two regiments heretofore ordered to
be raised on bounties of unappropriated lands, the follow
ing additional encouragement, viz. That besides five hun
dred acres of land, which was ordered co be given by an ad
palled in March 1781, a fuitof cloaths and one month'sad
vanced pay, to be given as soon as mustered ; from which
time they are to continue in service only two years : The
Surveyor General has certified that they shall immediately
receive a location of their lands according to law, and that
there are more than three times the quantity of unappropri
ated lands in the State to answer any grant heretofore made.
The officers appointed in said regiments, flatter themselves
the generous offers here made, will induce a fufficient num
ber readily to inlilt to complcat the quotas for said regi
ments.
