the accounts due from the late QM. General's de
partment; previous to the 2d Match 1778, under
his direction. But, received not half the sum he
drew for, which is the principal reason that the
debts, so long since contrasted by him and his affif
tants, are yet unpaid. However; he is now direct
ed by the Hon. Major-General Mifflin, late Q. M.
General, to call for all the accounts against him, or
his affiflantr ; also such as are for forage, (exclusive

pear^g juh f) will be given, in order that an exa&
estimate of the amount may be made, (this being a
mode enjoined by the late QM General on all his
deputies) and afu fficient sum procured at once, to
difeharge thearrearages of his office as soon as possible.
As a number of public creditors who have de
mands against the late department, live at a distance,
twomonths will be allowed from the date hereof
to bring in theif accounts to his office, at Mr. Gyf
bert Schencks fix mde % from the Fiffi Kill on the
