Extras of a letter from a gentleman of
public chara&er, dated Richmond, (in
Virginia) June gp;. 1780, to Iris friend
in this city.
" The Assembly had once rejeaed the
finance plan of Con^refs, of the 18th of
March, but the question has been revived,,
and a Bill ordered in for its adoption.
The Bill is now on its paffzge, and we
hope will be finally aiTented to.
" Our latest accounts front the South
ward inform us, that Lord Cornwallis
with 3000 men was posted at Camden, in
South Carolina, with out p fts above and
below him, having 600 mer at one, and
400 at the other. That he is collecting
magazines of provident and e ll^g in
the country people of whom he had tak
er par les, to come in, swear allegiance
to the King of Great Britain, and bear
arms againfl their country. Baron de
Kalb' and General Ca'fwell, when joined
by 2500 of our militia now on their march;
will have a body of betwen 7 and 8000
men. At present the operations are
greatly rotated by the want of provisions;
but we hope to remove that difficulty by
the power of a Law just palled for col-
Je<fling the surplus provisions of every
family, grain, salt, rum, &e. &c.
" The generous exertions of your
State at the present, does honor to ffie
Commonwealth and its Councils. I with
the examples may inspire, as it ought,
the rest of the sleeping Union."

five Dutch vessels that were at anchor

Letters from Virginia advise, That the
Lower House of Assembly of that State,
had voted their ratification of the bounda
rydines between them and Pennsylvania,
asadjufted by the Commifficners from
the two States, who met at Baltimore in
August ! aft. As there is no reason to
believe .the Senate of Virginia will refufe
their concurrence, we venture to congra
tulate the public on the profpe& of an
amicable closure of a debate, which pro
duced anarchy and confufion within the
controverted territory, and which weak

drained of our resources, we (hall think
ouffelves happy, after our grandeur, to
be ranked at the conclusion of a peace
among the independent nations.
