E. are informed, by a Gentleman of
undoubted veracity, that Sumucl
Martin, Esq; the French agCsillZ in VVhito
haven, having, in some former purchascs
os tobacco, acted greatly to the shtiss-sizc
lion oshis employcrs, they thought proper
to give him, [all; year, much more exten—
sive orders than usual; which he lutely

amonnt ofnear 90,oo:>l. sterling.
Extract ofa letter/ram London, Irsarch Lo.
" Our political madness in still in its
zenith, and we are consequently taking
the most effectual musures that the wit of
folly of man can devise to render America
totally independent of this country. You
must, by this time, have heard ot'thc bill
prohibiting the four New England govern
ments from sishing, &c. Another bill is
also in its motion, to confine New ]ersey,
Pcnnsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and
Sooth Carolina, to trade no where but
with Great Britain, Ireland, and the British
Well: ladies. By the long silence of the
London merchants, they were considered
la men not very serious in the business of
America (which was really the case, a very
t'ew exceptcd) and have been treated with
the utmost contempt ; and the cabinet,
owing to this dilatory conduct, have had
time to get every one of their plans con
firmed by Parliament. Those of Glasgow
sent up a very spirited petition, but at the
same time let Lord North know, by their
member, Lord F. Campbell, that they
did not mean any opposition by it, but only
to 'get credit in America. The ministers
seem now convinced, if America continue:
lnited, and perseveres in her non-impor—
utlon end noshexportation stheme, it will,
Without one blow-, distress the nation so
much that they must yield to the most
humiliatlng term: America can demand:
Theresbre, bribes, pensions, place;, con
tracte, and all other art:, are attempted
to divide the colonies, particularly New
York ; and, by the most irritating mea
sures, they are provoking to blown, in
pea to rouse the reseutme'nt of the nation
hgainsl: America, which i: at present strong
lglinsi themselves, and less than twelve
mouthe bringe on their long-deserved sate.
The way to deseat such diabolical schemee
is to bear every thing that human nature
ean bear ; and only, as common prudence
direct-, be prepared to resent my force or
injury that mey be offered. I wish this
Universally known. Your Governour,
beside: the parts of his letters published,
and other parte transcribed to you, has
Written sor yooo troopl, or else he cannot
' in Virginia; but they cannot even
spare the to,ooo which Gege wrote for.
The addrese to the soldiers had very great
effect in England and ire-land."

To the PUBLICK,
Y whose favour my earlicst luhours sor'
subsistenee were secondcd and ad vanc—
cd, and whom I have already assured of
my fixed purpose of serving, I must
now again address myself, to confirm my
sormer prosesstons . My disposition to show
how far I stand indebted to them, though
steady and unalterable, hath been hitherto
circumscn'bcd within narrow bonndl. A
llcnder stock to enter into business upon,
a scarcity of necessary implements and
materials, which, isto be purchased at all,
Were unattainable in America, but at the
hlghest prices, threw difiiculties into my
way which the benevolence and candour
of the publick could alone retricve me
from. However, the neverto be forgotten
distinction which I have so late] received
from the Honourable the Roof}; of Bur
gesses, in their condesccnsion to appoint
me their ptinter, has enabled me to extend
my business upon a larger plan, and to
furuish my office with those conveniencies
that will asiist my intention: to give satis
faction upon all occasions.
I am the publick's most devoted servant .
