was perfectly adapted to the country
through which the army had to pass.

campment and battle were judicious,
and well calculated to give Security to
the camp, energy to the troops,,in
case of attach, tad simple in its exe

66 Fifth. That there were just rea
sons for the detachment of the
14th and ig:h of October—that the
detachment of the 21st was made on
good principles, and had the desired
effect of securing the return of the
array,and preventing the enemy from
harraffing their rear—that the General
had ordered support for the said de
tachment in time, but that his orders
were not properly executed ; and the
conduct of the said Brigadier- General

&gto honourable to Brigadier-General
Josiah Harmar, was signed b, Richard
Butler, Major-General and President.]

EXETER, JAN. 10, 1792.
THE Honorable General
A Court, by a Resolution passed
the 30th of December 1791, having
(among other things) Ordered—
" That the expediency of issuing
Extents for the Outstanding Taxes
be left diferetionary with the Trea
furcr, any former order of the Gene
ral Court to the contrary notwith
standing : Excepting only that this
Resolve ihall not affe& or alter the
force of any Vote or Resolve for flay
ing Extents in particular cases."
The Treafarer thinks it
his duty to call on all Collectors, and
on, the Selectmen where Collectors
hare net been returned agreeably to
Law, to make payment of the sums
due from them refpedively. It ap
pears by the returns, lately made by
Selectmen, that large films have been
collected from the people, which funis
are not paid into the Treasury ; some
towns have paid all the Taxes requir
ed of them $ others owe final! fumi,
while some others are muthin arrears.
The General Court at their late ses
sion have made some orders to facili
tate the payment of the Taxes due in
paper; There has not been any state
Tax required for the last, or present
year, and it is the opinion of the
Treasurer, that the True Interest of
the good people of this State will be
promoted by a speedy collection of all
outstanding Taxes ; Therefore he re
quests that all concerned would pay
immediate and particular attention to
this notice ; pay the sums due from
them refpe&ively, and thereby save
him the trouble and themselves the
expence of Extents.
