NEW-HAMPSHIRE  AND  HISTORICAL CONTAINING the FRESHEST ADVICES  Friday Jan. 21, 1774.

Greenland Resolves.
THE Inhabitants of the Town of GREENLAND in NEW-HAMPSHIRE, being justly alarm'd at some Measures, come into by the British Parliament, respecting Taxing the Colonies; as well as the late Conduct of the East-India Company in sending TEA to the Colonies, subject to a TAX, payable in America on landing; which Conduct is plain to Demonstration, a Subversion of those Social Compacts which are called the Constitution of the British Government, or Magna Charta; which Constitution, under Providence, is the Safety of the Subject, and ought to be supported by every lawful Method:
THEREFORE, being assembled in the public Meeting-House, in said Greenland, on Monday January 17, 1774, after having made Choice of JOHN HAVEN, Esq; for Moderator, and duly considering the disagreeable Situation of His Majesty's most loyal Subjects in North-America, conceive that by the very Law of Nature, they are bound to publish their Sentiments in the following RESOLVES, viz. Resolved,
 1. That whereas all Authority originates from the People, therefore every Attempt by the Ministry to infringe the natural Rights and Privileges of the Subject, are unconstitutional, and ought to be discountenanced.  2. That laying a Duty upon TEA (for the express Purpose of raising a Revenue to the Crown, and supporting Ministerial Administration) payable in America upon landing, without the Consent of the People, either by themselves or Representation, is an Infringement of the natural Rights and Privileges of the Subject.  3. That every one, who directly, or indirectly, encourages either the Importation or Consumption of such TEAS as are subject to the Payment of such Duties, is a Pest to Society, and an Enemy to Mankind.  4. That every one, by the Law of Self-Preservation, as well as by every Tie consonant with Reason, is bound to use all lawful Methods to prevent the landing of any such TEAS in America, in case any Attempt should be made to force them upon us: Therefore Resolved,  5. That we will, if need be, exert our greatest Efforts in every rational Method to oppose the landing of any such TEA in this Government; and also, to the utmost of our Power, will assert and maintain the natural and constitutional Rights and Privileges of Englishmen, and transmit them inviolate to our Posterity. 
After passing the above Resolves, Voted,
1. That the Thanks of this Town be presented to the patriotic Gentlemen of Portsmouth, who so early distinguished themselves in the Support of LIBERTY; also to all other Gentlemen who have nobly bid Defiance to arbitrary Administration, and have by their Conduct shown themselves worthy the Blood of their Ancestors, who ventur'd their Lives in this once howling Desert, to secure LIBERTY and FREEDOM for themselves and Posterity.
2. That the Hon. CLEMENT MARCH, Esq; WILLIAM WEEKS and JOHN HAVEN, Esqrs; Messieurs JAMES BRACKET and GREENLEAF CLARK, be, and hereby are a Committee to correspond with the Committees that have, or may be chosen, on this Continent, to defend the Rights and Privileges of the Subject.
3. That the Proceedings of this Meeting be entered on the Records of this Town; and that an attested Copy thereof be sent to the Committee of Correspondence at Portsmouth.
The foregoing Votes and Resolves passed nem. Con. and immediately the Meeting was dissolved.
JOHN HAVEN, Moderator.
A true Copy, Attest, ENOCH CLARK, Town Clerk.
By Capt. Wynn, arrived at New-York, from London, we have the two following Articles.
L O N D O N, November 15.
A PLAN is said to have been lately suggested for entirely abolishing the Vice-Admiralty Courts in America, and to establish, in the room thereof, Officers for the transaction of naval business upon a more general Plan.
Nov. 16. The Lords of the Admiralty, it is said, have given orders for 16 sail of the line, compleatly manned and victualled to be ready to rendezvous at Spithead the 10th of Feb. next.
B O S T O N, January 13, 1774.
Since the Account from Philadelphia brought by Mr. Wm. Palfrey, already inserted, we have the following in Addition brought by the Hartford Post, last Evening: That Mr. Barclay, one of the Consignees who arrived with the Tea, after expressing the particular Hardship of his Situation, also resigned the Commission in a Manner which affected every one present.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, December 27.
A proper Supply of Necessaries and fresh Provisions being procured, in about two Hours the Tea Ship weighed Anchor from Gloucester Point, where she lay, within Sight of the Town, and has proceeded, with her whole Cargo, on her Return to the East-India Company.
The Public think the Conduct of these Gentlemen, whose Goods are returned on board the TEA-SHIP, ought not to pass unnoticed, as they have, upon this Occasion, generously sacrificed their private Interest to the publick Good.
Thus, this important Affair, in which there has been so glorious an Exertion of public Virtue and Spirit, has been brought to a happy Issue; by which the Force of a Law, so obstinately persisted in, to the Prejudice of the national Commerce, for the sake of the Principle on which it is founded (a Right of taxing the Americans without their Consent) has been effectually broken---and the Foundation of American Liberty more deeply laid than ever.
Dec. 23. The ground, which was covered by the people, on
Monday last, in the State House-square, being measured, it was calculated by two different persons, unknown to each other, that there were near 8000 people collected there; and many hundreds who were on their way, were disappointed of reaching the place of meeting, before the business was over, owing to the short notice, that was given.
Yesterday at three quarters of an hour after two o'Clock, Captain Ayres, of the Tea ship Polly, with Mr. Barclay, late one of the consignees, left Arch-street wharf, on board a pilot (having been 46 hours in town) to follow the ship to Reedy Island, and from thence transport the East-India Company's adventure to its old roosting place, in Leaden Hall street, London. They were attended to the wharf by a concourse of people, who wished them a good voyage.
N E W Y O R K, January 6.
We received no Philadelphia Papers by the last Post, but hear the four Gentlemen of the Committee who went down with Capt. Ayres, to see the Departure of the TEA SHIP, are returned, and report that they saw her under sail on her Passage for London.
By Capt. Mason, who arrived here on Saturday last in six days from Charlestown, we are informed, that Capt. Curling having entered his ship, loaded with dry goods, and the Hon. the East-India Company's TEA, and proceeding to land the former, the officers of his Majesty's Customs seized the vessel; -- but the Collector, like a Gentleman of true sensibility, promised the inhabitants that he would not sell any of the Tea, until he received advice and instructions concerning it from London.
On Sunday last arrived from London, last from Cowes, in 6 Weeks and 3 Days, the Ship Duchess of Gordon, Capt. Winn, with whom came the following Passengers, viz. The Countess of Dunmore, Lady of His Excellency the Right Honourable Earl of Dunmore, Governor of Virginia, with their Children, viz. Lord Fincaastle, the Hon. Alexander, and the Hon. John Murray, Lady Catherine, Lady Augusta, and Lady Susan; Captain Foy, Desagulier, Mr. Leonard Lispenard, Rev. Mr. Ogden, Mr. Lugin and Son, Mr. Uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Long, and about 20 other Passengers.
Capt. Winn left Cowes in Company with the TEA SHIP for this Port, the Nancy Capt. Lockyer, from whom he parted the same Day, and on the Passage spoke the following Vessels, viz. Dec. 13. Lat. 34. Long. 60, Schooner Delight, Thomas Boyd, 10 Days out from Boston, on a Whaling Voyage, 14th, Lat. 34, and a half, the Ship Grenada Planter, Capt. Robinson, 3 Days out from Boston, bound to the Grenades.
H A R T F O R D, December 21.
We hear from Marlborough, that on the 12th Instant died there Mrs. Emmins, Widow of Deacon Emmins, deceased, late of East-Haddam, and Mother of Mr. Horsford, deceased. She made the sixth Corpse carried out of the House of the late Mr. Daniel Horsford, since October last, and several more of that Family are dangerously Sick. 'Tis remarkable that Mr. Horsford lived about Forty Years, and had eleven Children & never had a Moment's Sickness in his Family till last Octob. Behold! a House of Joy and Gladness, turned into an House of Distress and Sadness, and scarce one left, able at present to make Lamentations!
N E W H A V E N, December 21.
Last Tuesday, as Mrs. Bradley, the Wife of Mr. Hezekiah Bradley, of this Town, was going up the Garret Stairs, the upper Stair gave Way, and she fell through to the lower Floor, by which unhappy Accident she broke her Skull, of which she lingered till Yesterday, when she expired.
NEWPORT, Jan. 10. At a Town-Meeting held here last Tuesday, a Letter from the Committee of Correspondence in Boston inviting this Town to adopt similar Measures with those of Boston, Philadelphia, &c. concerning the India Company's Tea, was read, the Consideration of which was put off to Thursday, the 20th of this Month.
N E W Y O R K, January 6.
After all the investigations and researches into the Occasion of the Fire last Wednesday at Fort George, it has been impossible to account for its Rise. The loss sustained in this melancholy Scene, in Cash, Plate, and Jewels, is Seven Thousand Pounds Sterling, at least, over and above many Public, and all the Governor's Private Papers; for nothing escaped the Flames save some Kitchen Furniture. -- Mrs. Patterson threw Mrs. Tryon out of a Window, two Story high, & presently followed herself; a Soldier (named Stone) of the Royal Welsh Fusileers, caught them; the latter received no Injury, the former, though considerably bruised, is since much recovered.
The Day after the above Fire, his Excellency the Governor, sent the following Letter to the Worshipful Whitehead Hicks, Esq; Mayor of this City:
"SIR, DEEPLY impressed as I am with a grateful Sense of the strenuous Endeavours of the Citizens to extinguish the raging Fire which happened at Fort George last Night, and greatly threatened the Safety of the whole City, I find myself irresistibly impelled to Request you to communicate to them my Cordial and Affectionate Thanks for the skill and Activity with which all Ranks exerted themselves on the alarming Occasion. I am, Sir, your very humble Servant, WILLIAM TRYON."
In such an unforeseen and calamitous Manner hath this great and good Man been visited, at a Time when he was endeavouring, by the most liberal Donations, to dry up the Tears of the Prisoner, the Fatherless, and the Widow, in all Parts of the Province: A Man whose Attachment to his Royal Master, and Desire to do him Service, can only be equalled by his Excellency's unwearied Assiduity in communicating Happiness to those faithful and loyal Subjects who are placed under his immediate Superintendence!
B O S T O N, January 17.
We hear that the Barrel of TEA which was emptied into the River at Charlestown last Week, was not intended to be smug-
gled, as reported; it being Part of some that had been imported here before the East-India Company's TEA arrived, and publicly advertised for Sale: The TEA it is said belonged to Persons who are esteemed Friends to Liberty, and was sent, with other Goods, to a Trader in the Country: But the Inhabitants of Charlestown having resolved against the Use of that Article, and burnt their own, some of them tho't it an Insult to be sent through their Town, and destroyed it as reported.
It seems to be the Opinion of many People that TEA sent here from the Neighbouring Colonies, subject to no Duty, should be sold at a limited Price: The great Object is, to lay aside the total Sale and Use of Teas that pay Duty, until the Act of Parliament is repealed: This appears to be the universal Resolution of the Inhabitants in the several Colonies, and must entirely prevent any TEAS being imported from Great-Britain.
One of the Tea Commissioners it is said narrowly escaped a Tarring and Feathering one Day last Week. Presumptuous Men to think of gaining a footing in this Town again---so says every Man, high and low, rich and poor.
The Price of undutied Tea we hear is in a few Days to be fixed at 2s. 10d. per the Chest, and 3s. 4d. by the Retailers by the single Pound.
At the anniversary of the Fellowship Club, held at Newport last Tuesday se'nnight, the following Toast, among others, was drank: "A Cobweb Pair of Breeches, a Hedge-Hog Saddle, a hard Trotting Horse, and continual Riding to all the Enemies of America."
A Writer in one of the Southern Papers proposes that the Watchmen be instructed, as they go their Rounds, to call out every Night, Past 12 o'Clock, beware of the East-India Company.
Saturday Morning last, the following Hand Bill was seen posted up on the most public Places in this Town, viz.
Brethren and Fellow Citizens!
YOU may depend, that those odious Miscreants and detestable Tools to Ministry and Governor, the TEA CONSIGNES, (those Traitors to their Country, Butchers, who have done, and are doing every Thing to murder and destroy all that shall stand in the Way of their private Interest,) are determined to come and reside again in the Town of Boston.
I therefore give you this early Notice, that you may hold yourselves in Readiness, on the shortest Notice, to give them such a Reception, as such vile Ingrates deserve. JOYCE. jun. Chairman of the Committee for Tarring and Feathering.
If any Person should be so hardy as to Tear this down, they may expect my severest Resentment. J. jun.
WANTED.---A Quantity of damaged Feathers. Also, an old One-Horse Cart. Enquire of the Printers. (Edes & Gill.)
We hear a Brig from the West-Indies bound to Newbury, was lately cast away at Nantucket, & that it was thought the Vessel and part of the Cargo would be lost: It's said one or two of the Men were froze, to Death, and the Captain much Frost nipt.

The present Class of Patients, under Inoculation at Salem Hospital, have nearly or quite all had the usual Symptoms, and the Eruption is now making a general Appearance among them.
DIED.---At Gloucester, the Hon. Thomas Sanders, Esq.

At Dorchester, William Spur, Esq;
At New-York, Robert Leake, Esq; Commissary-General of North America.
P O R T S M O U T H, January 21, 1774.
ON Friday last Week, died of an Apoplectic Disorder, Mrs. ELIZABETH WIBIRD, Aged 68, the only remaining Daughter of the Rev. Mr. JABEZ FITCH, deceased, formerly the worthy Pastor of one of the Churches in this Town. She was a Gentlewoman of a lively and pleasant Temper, happily mixed with the gravity of Wisdom and steady Piety; many amiable Virtues met in her Character; and her good Conversation in Christ was an Honor to the Church of which She was many Years a Member, and gain'd universal Respect. Her only Son, while he mourns the loss of such a Parent, has comfort in the sympathetic Sorrow of many Friends, especially in the glorious Hope revealed in the Gospel, which he is called to minister to others for their Joy and Consolation in Christ.
The Funeral was attended last Wednesday.
In the last Gazette, it was mentioned, that the LADY who is said to be the Duchess or Princess of Cronenburgh, came to this Town. Her Title, we hear, is the Duchess of Brownstown-burgh: Or, should she pass by the Title of the Fair Stranger, as it has been mentioned in some of the Southern Papers, perhaps it might be as agreeable. Indeed, her Arrival, and traveling through the Continent, inccog. has occasioned much Employment to busy Curiosity. It is confidently said, she is a Person of the very first Distinction in Europe.
A Writer in the Evening-Post says, "I think the Tories have now got to the End of their "Tether," and Liberty triumphs over all opposition in America. Every device and wicked machination of our enemies seems now to be defeated; and a kind Providence smiles upon the efforts of this country to preserve its Rights and Liberties.---The Tories have in time past boasted, that the Province of New-Hampshire was on their side; but the manly and patriotic proceedings of the People in that Province will convince the World they are American Freemen, and are fired with the glorious Spirit of Freedom which lightens this Western World."
ALL Persons that have any Demand against the Estate of JAMES CLARKSON, Esq; late of Portsmouth, deceased, are desired to exhibit them to his Son JAMES CLARKSON, of said Portsmouth, Executor of his Father's last Will: and all indebted to the same Estate are requested to make speedy Payment.
Lost, a Cornelian Seal, Cypher T. S. Whoever will bring it to the Printing-Office, shall be handsomely Rewarded.

P A R I S, October 29.
WE are informed, that Reis Effendi, who is so remarkable for his uncommon Humanity and pacific Disposition, has sent a most moving Letter to Count Romanzow, praying that his Excellency would endeavour to bring about another Congress, and not suffer another Campaign to be opened. He likewise begs of her Imperial Majesty not to Sacrifice the best and most faithful of her Subjects to her insatiable Ambition; and not to Boast of her numerous Armies, and the many Victories they have gained; for notwithstanding the Efforts of the Ottoman Troops have not been attended with Success in this War, yet they have now learnt the Art of War, & exact Military Discipline, so that future Victories will be uncertain, and one Successful Campaign to the Ottomans will Regain all they have lost. He concludes by Testifying to the whole World that the Sublime Porte is much inclined to a Peace upon Reasonable Terms, and that he really Wishes the Empress may be of the same Disposition, &c. which Letter Count Romanzow has sent to the Court of Petersburg.
L O N D O N, October 21.
A few days ago a very ingenious instrument was tried at Woolwich, in the presence of the commanding officers of the royal artillery academy, likewise some principal members of the military society, for a more sure & quick method of pointing, elevating and laying pieces of artillery. It is very simple in its construction, and universal in its use and application; by which means even the most unskilful gunner may fire any piece of ordnance with exactness and expedition. Those present on the occasion judged it to be one of the best contrived instruments hitherto known in the art of gunnery.
It is a fact, as curious as it is extraordinary, that our American colonists begin already to look forward to an era while they think will be signalized by an emancipation from the tyranny of Britain. The narrow policy, and the confused government of the mother country, in conjunction with the tide of luxury which is hastily overwhelming every rank of the nation, will be sufficient to sweep the British government to its dissolution, at least enervate it so greatly that resistance will be in vain. On the contrary, every thing in America is tending to its aggrandizement; and, as if fate was resolved to hasten the existence of this wretched country to a period, the Highlanders the only people in Europe who are born Soldiers, are forsaking it to populate and cultivate the rival country. It is not alleged that it is possible this can happen immediately; but it is impossible that it should not happen after the lapse of some years.
Nov. 16. A few days since, a fair Venus, who had greatly involved herself in debt, and was afraid of an arrest, went to a public-house not far from Wapping, where she found a smart young sailor, a native of Ireland, to whom she made her addresses. The bargain was agreed on for a suit of new cloaths to go to church in, five guineas, and all the matrimonial expence. A licence was immediately taken out, and they were accordingly married. Jack enjoyed four nights of his sweet Dulcinea, when he went on board, and then took an everlasting farewell; and the Lady then told her creditors they might sue her husband for payment.
On Tuesday morning last, a duel, with sword and pistol, was fought at the back of Montague-house, between two city barbers.---Being met, it was proposed that they should turn back to back, walk ten paces, then turn and fire: One of them however, walked only five paces, when he fired, and wounded the other in the left arm, who immediately turned round, and, after firing his pistol without effect, run up to his antagonist, and used his fists so dextrously, that he closed his eyes, while his sword slept peaceably in its scabbard. It is worthy of remark, that one was armed with a broad and the other with a small sword.
They write from Dublin, that an act is intended to be passed this session, laying a heavy penalty on Irish artificers going into foreign service, and on those who engage them.
Saturday morning a private board was held at Lord Sandwich's house in the Admiralty, at the breaking up of which a packet was sent off to Falmouth, to be forwarded with all speed to the British Admiral in the Mediterranean.

WHEREAS the Proprietors of CANTERBURY in said Province, have preferred a Petition to the GENERAL ASSEMBLY, setting forth that a vast Number of Papers containing their Votes and Proceedings; and by which many Estates have been conveyed and are now held, have not been recorded, owing to the Neglect or Omission of their Clerks. That upon Discovery thereof they had appointed a Committee, who had carefully examined all the said Papers, and having found them fair and genuine, and the Hand Writing of the Clerks as aforesaid, as they supposed, had recorded them in a Book, to authenticate which Book, they imagine themselves under necessity to crave the Aid of the General Assembly; and therefore pray that a Committee may be appointed from the General Court, to inspect and examine said Papers and Records, lately made, and to report thereon; after which an Act or Resolve may pass to authenticate said Papers or Records.
These are therefore to give Notice that a hearing is granted on said Petition on the Third Day of the Sitting of the General Assembly, after the 10th of February next, for any Person having any Objection thereto, to be heard thereon.
