teraa the mifreprefentatloty which appear in
the tory papers. They are conftintly repre

the Virginians, ride in their coaches, and that
the tax on Carriages, bears much harder on
them, than on the people of the N^ Ragland
States—For that reafot they re deffifflfnetl to
have that tax abolished. ^ hut , # !ur i^her 8?

And even thi| plain state of Conncaicut pays
more of & carriage tax in proportion to the
number of its inhabitants, than what they style
the proud, luxurious, domineering Virginia.
These are fads not to be denied—every man
may make the calculations for himfelf.
TAX of Domestic SPIRITS.
^ Another official document exhibits, " a
ftaiement of the duties arising on spirits diftii
led during tbeyear ending on the gift Dece

Which makes the amount of duties wiring
therefrom Dolls. 130,839 1, Os which the
firt New England states pay Dolls. 125,501
And the eleven States South of Conne&icut
pay only, Dolls. 14437 >6.
Which is but a little more than one ninth
part asmuch as the New-England states pay.
Yet the tory papers to deceive you, cry out
that the lateral revenue is to be abolished,
because the Southern people have to pay it ;&
the whole burthens and expence# of govern
ment are to be wholly on the Northern states.

this session to made in regard to some
former treaties and is notified in gene
ral terms, we canriot determine yet,
the extent of the territory ceded under
this name. It is well known that the
French once were in possession of this
country. Their settlement did not
succeed, and they abandoned it. As
their "claims have been revived, and
the cession has been made for some
time, we cannot be alarmed by the
novelty of this interesting event. It has

made at these furnaces is reckoned at 20,000

well defended entrenchment, and thrice they
teere repulsed. Animated, however, by their
former hard-earned laurels, and headed by gen

the heads of slaughtered negroes. This vido

have any effea in rallying them again, to the

Cipt. Huffty, from P. Republican, informs
(about the6thMarch) between the blacks under

about §occ of the former and 200 of the h^At

in his hip, and Gen. Leclerc had his fWordbelt
foot off. The whites were repulsed—aster
which the blacks, retreated farther v, the
mountains, which, although impenatrabie
to, was furroundid by the French troops, as
the passage is so narrow, that only one man
can enter , a time. No prisoners are made
on either fide—all are put to the sword. Le>
