L O N D O N, September 20. Translation of a Letter wrote in London to a French Minister of State in Paris. SIR, London, August 10th, 1770. T HE last letter I had the honour to write to you was of the 27th July. Here was nothing then talked of, but the magnificent Installation of the Knights of the Garter. — The Court resides at Richmond ever since, and most of the Nobility are retired to their country seats, so that London becomes a Village.
Your orders were that I should stick to truth in all my relations. You must not then be deceived by the misunderstanding that seems to prevail between the Court and the Common People in the City; there is nothing to be expected from it. The King is Master and may do what he pleases in this Country; for he is really beloved by all persons of Quality, and by all his Subjects who have anything to lose in case of a Revolt. The Parliament, the Treasury, the Army, the Clergy, & the Magistracy are entirely devoted to him. There is only Wilkes, the Mob, and my Lord Mayor, that would fain be troublesome. — Judge what must be the consequence!
It is thus I lay before you, Sir, the true state of these affairs, without trusting to what any body says, except he can give me proofs to the contrary of what I think I see with my own eyes. Others may contradict me if they please, but you may rely on my fidelity, and on the honour I have to be, &c.
Sept. 14. The Northington East-Indiaman, lately arrived, hath brought over an Arabian Poney extremely fierce and ravenous, valued at 3000 guineas, and the whelp of a wild Tyger. In her passage she met with a storm, when both got loose. The horse killed one man and devoured him, and tore out the bowels of another, before they could secure him again. The whelp got upon the gib-boom where it sat a considerable time to the no small terror of the ship's company; at last a Sailor bore, if the Captain would give him a Cannone would fetch it down if it was the Devil. The promise given, up went the Tar, and brought him down as gentle as a Lamb. The whelp it is supposed, had a strong sensation of its danger and expressed its kind Preserver by permitting him to play with it with great familiarity, whilst to every other person, who approached him, he shewed the Ferocity of his Nature.

From the Salem Gazette of November 26, 1771. It is earnestly desired that the following may be inserted in all the public prints in New-England, as a piece of most agreeable intelligence to all who wish well to the cause of Christ among the Indians.
Dartmouth-College, in Hanover, Oct. 10, 1771.
T HE Rev. Doctor Wheelock, through the surprising smiles of Heaven upon his unwearied endeavours, has now so nearly effected his great and arduous undertaking to settle and accommodate his Indian school and college in a howling wilderness, that he has the fairest prospect, in a little time, to be able to support an hundred Indian and English youths upon charity, and all with a view to the first and grand object of the institution, viz. the spreading the blessed gospel of the Redeemer among the savages.
This solitude hitherto proves most favourable and friendly to the studies of the youths, as they are thereby free from a thousand snares, temptations and diversifications, which were, and would have been unavoidable, if this seminary had continued where it was, or been fixed in any populous town in the land: And he hopes, in the all-wise Governor and Disposer of all things, that he will mercifully so direct and over-rule, in the settlement of the new parish now forming here, that his students, both English and Indians, may still have no examples here to influence them, but to virtue and religion. And though it has not been practicable to keep his Indian children with him, while he has been removing and building, to accommodate and settle so large a number in the wilderness; yet he hopes, in a very short time, to have convenient studies in the buildings, which are now near finished for a large number of students; and has accordingly sent by his missionaries, the Rev. Mr. Avery whom he has sent to be colleague with the Rev'd Mr. Kirland at Oneida, and Mr. Dean a member of this college, for twenty boys of the six nations, if they may be obtained; and is seeking for proper agents to fetch as many more from the northern tribes, where he hears there are a number desirous of an education.
And as the honourable board in Boston have with great cheerfulness and a laudable generosity, lately undertaken to support the Rev. Mr. Kirland in his mission; so it is hoped they will also support his worthy colleague, the Rev'd Mr. Avery, in the same service. And as the Doctor has two more prepared to be missionaries, to southerners, and very remote and numerous tribes, as soon as the season will permit, next spring, under the direction and conduct of the Rev'd Mr. Brainard, it is also hoped, that the honourable board in Boston, or some others who have money in their hands, sacred to such use, will generously support them in their mission. He has also two others who are prepared for a mission, among northern tribes as soon as a door shall be opened for them, which he also hopes will be next spring.
The Doctor has others preparing for the same service, and hopes there will be no more occasion of complaint of money in any public fund, or more private store, lying unimproved, for want of proper agents to spend it in this glorious cause. And it is much to be desired and hoped that all parties will agree and unite in this great and most interesting cause of the Redeemer, and that there will be no wasting of one against another, nor any undermining or unmanly plottings or endeavours of one party, to overthrow, discredit or obstruct another, in the prosecution of the same glorious cause.
L O N D O N, Sept. 10.
Extract of a Letter from a young Gentleman on board his Majesty's Sloop Endeavour, (lately returned from a Voyage round the World) giving some Account of the Natives of Otahee or George's-Island.
T HEIR religion acknowledges one Supreme Being, whom they conceive to be too great to attend to the prayers of man; they therefore invoke him through mediators who they believe are, in general, their great men departed. They do not kneel to an image, they only offer up a sacrifice of every thing they mean to partake of, saying, "sure the Deity has a right to an offering of what he gave." Their burials are more singular than any other custom: when a man dies, he is placed upon a bier, and a shed is erected over him, made of leaves of trees; this mausoleum is placed very often near their own houses, & tho' the body is in a disagreeable putrid state, they never seem to take any notice of the offensiveness; the corpse remains in that condition till the flesh is entirely consumed, and then the skeleton is interred in the burying-ground, which is done round with stones in the form of our country church yards. The origin of man they believe to be from a chosen pair made by the great God, and that we are all descendants of them, that the Deity formed the earth of continents and isles, and that the Europeans who visit them are of the great land; but when that he had formed the sea, he towed the great earth by a string upon it, which going so quick, made many parts to break off, and those composed islands.
Their women are of a copper colour well made, and well featured, with jet-black hair, which they always wear braided up with false hair. They wear a kind of cloth over their bodies, made from the cloth tree, which is very thin, and not strong; but when they want it for warmth, they make many folds of it, and stick it together by gums; they have another kind, which they call mourning cloth, stained with yellow on one side, and brown on the other. They marry at nine & ten, they bear many children, and at twenty two are old and ugly. A virgin is to be purchased here with the unanimous consent of the parents, for three nails and a knife: I own I was a buyer of such commodities and after some time married one of my nut brown sultanas, & then became so habituated to their manners and a hut, that I even left my lady
and the island with reluctance. They have but one fashion amongst them, which is of a singular outre nature, and that is of painting their posteriors of a jet black, which no woman is suffered to neglect. They are not very decent in their amours, having little regard to either place or person: This is not general amongst them, though it is often done and seen. Upon occasions of festivity the women dance in the most indecent manner, performing a thousand obscene gesticulations, like the Hindostan dancing girls. The only instrument of musick to divert them at these times, are large drums and flutes made of reeds, in the form of our common flute, which is played upon by the wind of the nose, instead of the mouth."

For emitting 12,000. without Interest, to supply the Treasury. An Act, laying a Duty upon all Goods, in proportion to the Quantity, purchased in any of the Neighbouring Colonies.

Capt. Whipple further informs, that a Fever has raged a considerable Time on the Island of Hispaniola, and that at the Cape for 7 Weeks together, 30 Whites were buried daily on an Average. Most of Capt. Whipple's Hands were taken sick, and one died.

Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in London, Sept. 22, 1771.
The Commissary of Virginia is now here with a View of prosecuting the Scheme of an American Episcopate: - - You will consider, Sir, in your Wisdom, whether any Measures on your side, may contribute to counteract this dangerous Innovation. - - Regarding it as threatening the Subversion both of our civil and religious Liberties, it shall meet with all Opposition in my Power.'
A Whaleman arrived at New-London from Davis's Streights, informs, that on the 1st June last, a Dutch whaling Ship of 500 Tons, was destroyed there, by means of an Island of Ice, which she was near, breaking from the Top and falling upon her, but the People were taken up and saved by a Fleet in Company.
Died, at Georgia, the Rev. Samuel Frink, a Missionary from the Society for propagating the Gospel, &c. and Rector of a Church in Savannah.
P O R T S M O U T H, November 23. Last Tuesday Evening came to this Town the Reverend JOHN MURRAY, and preached at the Rev. Dr. HAVEN's Meeting on Wednesday and Thursday to crowded Auditories. Tuesday Morning about 3 o'Clock on the 29th of October last, the best House at the Upper Co-os, belonging to Mr. Timothy Nash, took Fire, and was entirely consumed, in a short time, in which was 150 Bushel of Indian Corn, 400 wt. of Tobacco, also Pork, Beef, Peas, Potatoes, Beans, &c. which were all lost, together with most of the Cloathing of the Family, being seven in Number, and great Part of their Furniture; also sundry Notes and Deeds. A Gentleman travelling that way, put up at said House, was so unfortunate as to lose his Breeches with considerable Money therein, and being 100 Miles from home. 'Tis hoped that charitable disposed Persons will contribute to the distressed Family.
Verses on Dancing.
Addressed to a certain Young LADY. M AY I presume, in humble lays, My dancing fair! thy steps to praise? While this grand maxim I advance, That all the world is but a dance.
That human kind, both man and woman, Do dance, is evident and common: David himself, that godlike king, We know could dance as well as sing: Folks who at court would keep their ground, Must dance attendance the year round; Whole nations dance: gay frisking France Has led Great-Britain many a dance; And some still think that France and Spain Intend to make us dance again.
All nature is one ball we find: The water dances to the wind; The sea itself, at night and noon, Rises and dances to the moon. The moon around the earth does tread, A Cheshire round, yet ne'er looks red; The earth and planets round the sun Still dance, nor will their dance be done, Till nature in one blast be blended, Then may we say the ball is ended.

W I L K E S, Junior.
C OME then, little Wilky, to its own mamma: - go, Dolly, go, how could you vex the pretty creature? ha! hush, hush, my dear; come, you shall be an officer, all in gold lace (Squawl, goes the child): come then, he sha'n't be an officer, for fear of being shot; - - no, no, you shall be a Bassador, and see the pretty ladies at Turkey, so you shall (qualing louder): will my Wilky be a bishop, and have the fine shirt sleeves? ho, no, he sha'n't be a Bishop, because Horney and Juniusey have ridiculed the Bishops (squawling still) - - come, then, you shall be a Sheriff and a Lord Mayor, and make Monfrances, and carry 'em to court your own self, and get a place, and live with your own King George (squawling still) - - Lord bless me, will nothing please the child? - - well then Wilky sha'n't go to Court - - go, naughty King George, you sha'n't have our Wilky, no, dats what you sha'n't, with all your naughty Parliaments, and ugly judges, (squawling still): gracious heaven, says the Mother, one would think the very Wilkes himself were thy father, but that he was in jail at the time. Come den, stand down and pifs in the fire dear.
Such, Mr. Printer, was the entertaining scene Mrs. Figg and I met with on paying a visit to my neighbour Journal, the Stationer. You mast know his little son was born the day of Mr. Wilkes's enlargement from the King's Bench, and was for that reason christened by the Patriot's name; and so, as I was saying, he was set down on the hearth, and he began to p---s, and to laugh amazingly, and raised such a cloud of smoke and ashes, that almost smothered his mamma. He had been put to his little chair, and held ont before, but it would not do, the young genius reserved his (fire i. e. his) water, to make a pother in the parlour - - and he enjoyed it inefably. Mrs. Figg observed to Mrs. Journal, that although p---ing in the fire was but a paw-paw trick, yet if the child had been let down sooner, neither his bawling nor p---ing would have been so copious or troublesome; and, says she, if the great Wilkes himself had been let down and humoured as soon as he began to bawl and cry, it would have been full as well for this poor country.
Your's, R. FIGG.
Extract of a Letter from France.
The misery of this kingdom is inconceivable. The face of the wretched people is ground with taxes, while they have not bread to eat. The Parliaments are destroyed and exiled. The most respectable men in France are torn from their connections, & immured in dungeons, or pent up in little cots and hovels, where there is hardly any necessary of life to be got for love or money. Our rulers seem willing to try how much nature will suffer. Were not the Dauphin such a poor priest-ridden simpleton, did not his weakness threaten us with greater calamities than those which we endure. I believe a revolution would ere now, have been attempted. But we are hopeless. Providence has abandoned us to distress and slavery.
The People of England talk highly of their sacred Rights and Liberties: The Romans did the same when they were in an actual State of Slavery.
The Spaniards, it is said, are already preparing Memorials against the Establishment which our Court intends making on the delightful Borders of the Mississippi, as we have not a Right to act as we please upon our own Dominions, & must continue the finest American Territory we possess an absolute Desert for Fear of disobliging his Catholic Majesty.
The letters signed Junius are now generally supposed to have been written by William Gerrard Hamilton, Esq; he is Chancellor of the Exchequer in Ireland and Member for Old Sarum.

IT having been represented to His Excellency the GOVERNOR, that there were sundry Townships between Merrimack and Connecticut River, in this Province, which had not complied with the Terms of Culture stipulated in the several Grants thereof, whereby those Grants were become forfeited to his MAJESTY, agreeable to the Penalty expressed in said Condition; His Excellency thereupon asked the Advice of His Majesty's COUNCIL, Whether it would not be expedient to notify the Grantees and Proprietors of such Towns, that they might appear and shew Cause why their several delinquent Rights or Shares should not be declared forfeited, to be re-granted to such of his Majesty's Subjects as should effectually settle and cultivate the same: Whereupon the Council took under Consideration the Premises, and advised his Excellency to issue such Notification, and to include, if His Excellency thought proper, all other Townships that have not fulfilled the Conditions of their Patents. And it appearing that the Time limited for the Cultivation and Improvement of a certain Proportion of Land in the following Townships is expired, viz. Orford, Marlow, New-Holderness, Alstead, Lincoln, Franconia, Wentworth, Burton, Dorchester : This is therefore to NOTIFY the Grantees and Proprietors of the said Townships of Orford, Marlow, New-Holderness, Alstead, Lincoln, Franconia, Wentworth, Burton, and Dorchester , that Wednesday the 22d Day of January next is appointed for them to appear before His Excellency the GOVERNOR in COUNCIL, at the Council Chamber in Portsmouth, to shew Cause why their respective delinquent Rights or Shares may not be declared forfeited, as above expressed.
