siMr, Punms,
THE pubiick, to whom ' lient. Lynn
thought proper to report an affair
ot' military discipline, will naturally cun
elude from his publication that ] have in
land the characters of the men of capt.
Gibsqn's company of regulars. ] aimed
at mending the characterof that company,
and h0pe ] have not missed my aim. ln
attempting this necessary service, it is true,
some deviation was made from the line of
dut ; but whose deviation from duty was
me tssin'urious to that company, and to
the can e in which we are engaged, ] beg
leave also to submit to the publick : That
of the officer who quelis a mutinous spirit
In the troops, or of those officers who, by
a neglect of discipline, had, after some
mouths training, obliged me to take the
trouble of reducing their men to some de
gree of military order.:
' ] am your humble servant,
HUGH MERCER.

Mr. Pv ldlz,
HE impositions and exactions on the
publick'by the TAVERN-KEEPERS
in this colony in general, as well as in Wil
liamsburg, is so exorbitant, as to call for
some mode of redress by those to whom
that power beion s. No colony on this
continent is allowefi greater profit on vend—
nifl and retailingssprovision than this, but
that does not satissy the voraciom publican.
.
By the law, the courts settlc the rates of
provisiou, &c. which is to be put up in
the tavern. This is neglected, the better
to facilitate the design; and , countenanccd
by those whose duty it is _to detect such
Encetdingo, by paying every unjust charge
the tav'ern-keeper's bill (From a mis
Uken notion that it is beiow the dignity of
a gentleman to cnntest small accounts)
they go on with impunity. It is hoped,
therefore , that a" tavern-keepers will im
mediately put up the rates allowed by the
court in the most conspicuous part of the
tavern, or be punished for such neglect.
I am, sir,
An ENEMY to IMPOSITIONS.
