Messieurs PRINTERS,
THE citizens of Philadelphia in a late address to Congress, having boasted how freely they had paid their taxes, and having appealed to the public returns for a proof thereof, a sensible writer in the Providence Gazette hath undertaken to expose them, and to shew that even the small State of Rhode Island hath done more than they have, according to their proportions in the general assessment. The requisition for the year 1782, from the State of Pennsylvania, was 1,012,808 dollars, of which they paid only 107,988, or about one tenth: The requisition from the State of Rhode Island for the same year was 179,041 dollars, of which they paid 37,642 dollars, or about one fifth. And notwithstanding it hereby appears from the public returns, that they have paid double the sum in respect to their proportions; yet these citizens severely reflected upon the State of Rhode Island, for withholding the means of paying the public debts, and of doing injustice to the soldiery, alluding to their denying to invest Congress with a power of collecting an impost within that State, and which they have steadily adhered to, notwithstanding a committee from Congress attended on their legislature to urge them to a compliance, yet in vain. They are a happy people who know their own good ; but they have not been idle or done like others, grant the imposts upon conditions; they immediately laid an impost on all importations by land and by sea, and have thereby been able to do more than any State in the union. According to their proportion they have collected, and are collecting large sums from their late enemies, who have crowded upon them large quantities of goods, and such intemperately all their current cash, while their merchants are scarce able to support any trade, by their late losses and burthensome taxes, for the protection of their lives and fortunes; by this measure it is said they have already collected 12,000 dollars, which is to be remitted to their delegates at Congress, to see the same passed to the credit of their State's account; and have further supported the credit of the Financier's notes, by offering to purchase up any within their States.
Happy for us it would have been, if the legislature of this State had adopted the same measures, our treasury at this day would have had 10,000 dollars by such an impost, and that sum collected mostly from the subjects of Great Britain, who have imported many thousands sterling, and have drained this State of all its currency, and are permitted a free trade, while the subjects of this State are distressed by the taxes, for which their lands are sold by designing and avaricious collectors, who have laid the foundation for many lawsuits, in the course of which their injustice will be exposed to the world, and their names branded with infamy. Our farmers are distressed to pay these taxes, and the produce of their farms sold at so low a rate as scarcely to pay the labor of raising it.
Is this indulgence granted to British subjects, in return for their Kings proclamation in July last? whereby the subjects of this State in particular, is deprived of its only profitable mode of remittance, by ships and their freight, from hence to the West-Indies and
London. A gentleman lately observed he desired to thank God, that not a State in the union could prevent a foreigner from trading amongst us; but in return, I desire to thank God, that EVERY STATE in the union may lay such imposts as may amount to a prohibition. The British merchants are straining every nerve, to rival the French merchants in their trade to America, and have already sent at least a million sterling in their manufactures: Thus we are enriching a nation who has involved us in a civil and unnatural war, and loaded us with an enormous debt, under which many of them believe we cannot long support ourselves; but if we are so indebted, it is to a generous Prince and his subjects, who will strive to lighten, rather than increase them. If the subjects of Britain are admitted into our trading towns and cities, and suffered to remain with us, and many of them to insult our poverty, and go free of all taxation, while the subjects of these States are denied the same privileges in the West-Indies, we discover a want of fortitude or pusillanimity of spirit, or a spirit of retaliation which disgraces AMERICA. I remember that Congress in a solemn address to the inhabitants of these States, emphatically express themselves, that foreigners and children yet unborn, would help us in the diminution of our national debt: But no measures are yet taken to oblige them. It a general impost under the direction of Congress cannot be obtained (as it seems the States of Rhode Island and Connecticut have wholly refused, and of course none will be laid) yet every State ought to lay them to be paid in for the discharge of the interest, and part of the principal of the national debt. There has been such glaring abuses in many departments during the late war, & the public monies so lavishly delivered out, that the people grow jealous of every power, & seem determined to keep their purse strings more under their own particular direction and inspection; and if such imposts are immediately laid, we may yet be, what our enemies wish never to see us, a HAPPY PEOPLE.

ON PROVIDENCE.
The ways of Heaven are dark and intricate, Puzzl'd in mases, and perplext with errors; Our understanding traces them in vain, Lost and bewilderd in the fruitless search; Nor sees with how much art the windings run, Nor where the regular confusion ends. ADDISON.
THAT great Prophet, Moses, it is said, was called up by a voice from Heaven to the top of a mountain; where in a conference with the Supreme Being, he was permitted to propose to him some questions concerning his administration of the universe. In the midst of this divine colloquy, he was commanded to look down on the plain below. At the foot of the mountain there issued out a clear spring of water, at which a soldier alighted from his horse to drink. He was no sooner gone, than a little boy came to the same place, and finding a purse of gold which the soldier had dropped, took it up and went away with it. Immediately after this, came an infirm old man, weary with age and travelling, and having
quenched his thirst, sat down to rest himself by the side of the spring. The soldier missing his purse, returns to search for it, and demands it of the old man, who affirms he had not seen it, and appeals to Heaven in witness of his innocence. The soldier not believing his protestation, kills him. Moses fell on his face with horror and amazement, when the divine voice thus prevented his expostulation: Be not surprised, Moses, nor ask why the Judge of the whole earth has suffered this thing to come to pass: The child is the occasion that the blood of the old man is spilt, but know, that the old man whom thou sawest, was the murderer of that child's father.

ANECDOE of Dr. G— M— The Doctor having an apprentice, whom he employed chiefly in domestic concerns, instead of dispensing physic, the boy remonstrated with his master, and bluntly insisted on being instructed in the secrets of the profession. The Doctor complied, and told him he should go with him that afternoon to a patient in a very dangerous situation, where he might have an opportunity to see his grand method of discovering the diagnostics of a disease. The Doctor, with the apprentice, entered the room of the patient almost exhausted. After feeling the pulse, &c. he flew into a rage, and accused the nurse with having given the sick man eggs, which he pronounced fatal to his disorder, and hurried away, to send, as he said, a specific antidote. The apprentice took this opportunity to interrogate the Doctor: Pray, Sir, how do you know the nurse has given the man eggs?—for that must be a great secret.—Why, Jack, says the Doctor, because I saw the egg shells under the bed. Then the apprentice was immediately sent off for the antidote, but arrived too late, as the patient was dead. On this information the Doctor expressed great astonishment; to relieve which, the apprentice, with great eagerness and simplicity, assured his master, that during their absence the patient had eaten a horse. Impossible! said the Doctor. True, by G—d, replied the boy, for I saw the bridle and saddle under the bed.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) Dec. 6.
Last week one of the Maroons belonging to Charlestown being disgusted at a supposed indignity offered him, shot himself through the head, and instantly expired.
NEW YORK, March 4.
Last Tuesday the corpse of a man, said to be Daniel M'Kenney, formerly of East Florida, then of considerable property, who came here with the British, at the evacuation of Charlestown, was taken up at Cruger's wharf. It is mentioned of him, that he had got so much reduced, as to oblige him to labour along shore to procure a scanty subsistence; the reflection of which was so poignant, having seen days when Dame Fortune showered down her choicest blessings on him, that he often exhibited omens of insanity, in a fit of which, it is conjectured, he made an end of his life.
HEBRON, (Connecticut) Feb. 15.
This day departed this life, Mrs. Lydia Peters, wife of Col. John Peters, and second daughter of Joseph Phelps, Esq. She was married at the age of fifteen, and lived with her consort three times fifteen years, and had fifteen living children, thirteen now alive, and the youngest fifteen years old; she hath had three times fifteen grand children: she was sick fifteen months, and died the fifteenth day of the month, aged four times fifteen years.
S A L E M, March 25.
The Committee of both Houses of the General Court, appointed to enquire into the existence, nature, object, and probable tendency or effect of an Order or Society called the Cincinnati, have reported as their opinion, "That the said Society is unjustifiable, and if not properly discountenanced, may be dangerous to the peace, liberty and safety of the United States in general, and this Commonwealth in particular.—That it is proper the further consideration of measures suitable and necessary to be taken, with respect to the Society of the Cincinnati, be referred to the next sitting of the General Court."
The above report, was read and accepted by the two Houses, the 23d instant.
The ship Gloucester Packet, Capt. Callahan, is to sail on the 6th of April, and the ship Sukey, Capt. Cunningham, on the 14th both for London, from Boston.
It is now very certain that government securities must rise greatly in value, as the Legislature has determined, we hear, to abolish direct taxation at a blow, and to grant an impost and excise which cannot fail to answer all the purposes for which they have
been lately held up to our view. What do we not owe to the wisdom of our financiers! It is affirmed, that a certain Great Body will not rise, till the public credit is put beyond the reach of doubt.—How glorious an event!
The following paragraph of an address to our late illustrious General, from the three learned professions in Philadelphia, on his returning to the Southward in December last, we cannot forbear inserting though it appears somewhat late.
"Let others, Sir, recount your military achievements, and draw the honorable comparison between them and the deeds of those other heroes whose names adorn the records of time.—It is ours to view you in another light, and to see your character surrounded with a glorious splendour, before which the star of a Cæsar, or an Alexander must hide its diminished head. The mad ambition of unlimited conquests, was not your incentive to action; your aim was not to exalt yourself upon the ruins of your fellow citizens. It was the voice of your country that called, —It was the genius of freedom that led you to the field. In the defence of liberty, property, and the rights of mankind, your sword was drawn. It was consecrated by religion, by law, and by humanity; it was revered as their guardian. The purest principles directed the management of the war. Undismayed piety, without the fear of offending Heaven, could implore its assistance to your arms. Virtue, philosophy, and sciences, considered their cause as involved in that which you have so illustriously supported. Heaven has smiled upon the glorious struggle. Our freedom is established—the sciences flourish---and the gates of happiness are thrown open to mankind."
WORCESTER, March 13.
By intelligence from Bennington, in the State of Vermont, we learn, that the contents of several letters from private gentlemen in Albany, had caused a considerable ferment in the minds of the inhabitants of that State. How far authentic the news these letters are said to contain may be, we presume not to say: But if credit is to be given to our informant, it was believed by the inhabitants of Bennington: The letters in question, which were handed to the authority of that State by Col. Allen, and were read in the General Assembly, about 20 days past, gave information that it was confidently reported that Congress had lately passed some Resolves purporting, that if the inhabitants of Vermont would return to their allegiance which they owe to the several States to which they properly belong, their political offences would be forgiven them, together with a confirmation of their grants from New-Hampshire, and also of the laws, in many instances, made by them since the assumption of Government. That a Committee from Congress would be sent to lay the Resolves of that august body before the Assembly of the State; and that if these offers were not accepted, and they still persisted in their claim of being a separate State, 15000 men would be raised and sent against them, in order to subject them, and they must abide by the consequences.
The command of the forces to be given to the Governor of New-York. This intelligence was not relished by the Vermonters, who thinking themselves an oppressed people, appeared determined to maintain what they suppose to be their just rights. Whatever ground there may be for this report, we sincerely hope that the wisdom of Congress will adopt such measures as will cause Peace, with all its attendant blessings, to pervade America, and cement every part in ties of mutual good will and brotherly affection; that the rays of independence may illuminate all our borders, and shew the world that we are worthy the appellation of Freemen!
We are further informed, that the late disturbances, between the adherents to New York, and the acknowledged subjects of Vermont, had entirely subsided. Peace was restored, and it was hoped no event would take place which might renew the commotions which lately existed in that part of the country.
PORTSMOUTH, March 27.
Congress resolved, the 15th ult. "That a Committee be appointed to devise ways and means for discharging that part of the public debt consisting of Continental Loan-Office Certificates, issued between the first day of September, 1777, and the first day of March, 1778."
The Directors of the Massachusetts Bank, at a meeting on Monday last, made choice of the Hon. James Bowdoin, Esq; as their President.
Thursday the 15th of April next, is appointed by the Authority of Massachusetts, as a day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer, throughout that Commonwealth.

Lately publish'd,
And to be sold at the Printing Office in Portsmouth, SOME DEDUCTIONS from the System promulgated in the Page of Divine Revelation: Resigned in the Order and Form of a CATECHISM: Intended as an Assistant to the Christian Parent or Teacher. But now the righteousness of GOD without the Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets; Even the righteousness of GOD, which is by Faith of Jesus Christ unto all, and upon all them that believe; for there is no difference. Rom. 3. 21, 22.
WE have proper authority to assure the public, this little (yet comprehensive) work, is the genuine production of a female pen. All who are acquainted with the author will no doubt agree with us, should that lady incline to enter the lists as a disputant, she is not only well able to defend the sentiments this work contains & prove them agreeable to that sacred system from whence they are deduced; but properly to reprove the authors of a book, who have arrogantly given their joint labor the title—BATH-KOL a voice from the wilderness. A performance which we believe every unprejudiced reader will not hesitate to say, justly exposes that Body who openly avow it, to severe chastisement, for the many unjust, illiberal, indecent, and unmanly reflections it contains, not against sentiment only (for the self-evident truths on the sentiment might be thought just) but beliedly personal. Our acquaintance with many persons who profess to believe the sober truths contained in the Catechism, leads us to conclude, there are, "who can bravely stand the brunt of the fire and smoke, the sulphur and charcoal, so plentifully poured on them by the noisy explosions of the Banean artillery, plied by the furious assailants."
We hope they will "be enabled so to manage the shield of faith, as to cover the parts that have been chiefly attacked; and so to wield the sword of the spirit, as to prevent the adversary from scaling the walls; and by a series of fair and solid arguments, drawn from the magazines of truth, the Bible, honestly defend that doctrine which maintains, "that 'tis the will of God all men should be saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth: And so ever blessed be his name, who hath all power in heaven and on earth, no created being can set aside the purpose of its Maker, for though he hath created the master to destroy; yet hath he graciously assured us, no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against us in judgment, thou shalt condemn."
I must give great satisfaction to every sober mind, inquiring what is truth? that while constrained with the apostle to say, I know that in me (that is in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing; for to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good I find not; to hear it added in the sacred text above alluded to, this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord —fully satisfied with this truth, that Jesus is the Lamb of God, who took away the sin of the world —that God hath in him reconciled the world unto himself, not imputing to men their trespasses; and though we find ourselves like men, daily transgressing the Covenant, and dealing treacherously against God—Yet, glorious truth!—we have an advocate with the Father— Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. This we esteem the shield of faith—covered with this we hope to "repel the fiery darts shot by our antagonist against it—we shall ask no triumph over the foe, nor with him any farther hurt, than only to be obliged to foreclose his inventions of the truth for the future." Tho' it may not be easy to say, which are more numerous, the absurdities contained in this "humble attempt" of the five Presbyters of the Eastward or the Errata. We believe every candid reader (if he has an ear to hear the scriptures) will upon perusing that their first Volume, heavily join with them in the petition, with which they conclude their joint testimony that God may pardon, and that man may reckon the performance to be Vox et præterea nihil.

State of New Hampshire. In the year of our L O R D, One thousand seven hundred and eighty-three.
An ACT for the partition of certain lands held in common and undivided, by and between Thomas Martin, John Peirce, and Joseph Peirce, and the Heirs of Margaret Green, deceased.
WHEREAS Thomas Martin, and John Peirce, of Port- mouth, in the county of Rockingham, and state of New-Hampshire, and Joseph Peirce, of a place called the Gore, in the county of Strafford, and state aforesaid, have petitioned the General Assembly of this state, setting forth that they are tenants in common of sundry tracts of land lying in divers parts of this state, with the heirs of Margaret Green, late of Halifax, deceased; that the said Thomas, John, and Joseph, owned al- most fifteen sixteenths of said lands, and the said heirs, many of whom are minors and British subjects, residing in England and Nova-Scotia, owned the other sixteenth; that it was of very great importance to the said Thomas, John, and Joseph, to have the same lands divided; that they had during the course of the war been obliged to pay the taxes on the whole of said lands, while disqualified from making sale of any part of said lands, which they might have occasion to sell, so as the purchasers might have a title thereto in severality; that as the lands lay in every county in this state, the common method for making par- tition of lands as pointed out by the laws of this state, would be very troublesome and expensive.
Wherefore they prayed, that a person or persons might be ap- pointed to represent said heirs, and in their behalf truly and im- partially to make partition with the said Thomas, John, and Joseph, of the lands aforesaid. Which petition being read and considered, and the prayer thereof appearing reasonable:
Therefore, it is hereby enacted by the Council and House, of Representatives for said State, in General Assembly convened, that Ebenezer Smith, Esq; be and hereby is appointed and im- powered for and in behalf of said heirs, to make a just and im- partial partition of said lands, with the said Thomas Martin, John Peirce, and Joseph Peirce; for which purpose, the said Ebenezer Smith, Esq; is hereby fully authorised as agent for said heirs, to make, execute, and acknowledge good and sufficient partition deed or deeds of the lands which may be agreed to be the parts or shares of the said Thomas Martin, John Peirce, and Joseph Peirce, in the lands so held in common and undivided, and to receive from the said Thomas Martin, John Peirce, and Joseph Peirce, good and sufficient partition deed or deeds in be- half of the said minors of the part or share that may be agreed to be severed and set off for their use in the lands aforesaid, which said partition deeds being so made and executed, shall be effectual in law, and binding on all the said tenants in common, of the lands aforesaid.
And whereas by such severance of said lands now held in common, the right which said tenants in common might have of prosecuting for any trespass committed on said lands while held in common, may be destroyed; to prevent which,
It is hereby further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That after partition of said lands be made as aforesaid, the person or persons to whom any part or parts thereof shall be divided and set off, on which any trespass or trespasses may have been commit- ted before such partition made, such person or persons, their heirs, executors and administrators, shall have a right to prose- cute in his or their own name or names, any action or actions, proper in law for the recovery of damages for any trespass or tres- passes which may have been committed on the part or parts of the land that may be set off to him or them in the division of said lands; any law usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding. And it is hereby further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That prior to the making partition of said lands, the said peti- tioners shall cause the substance and design of said act to be pub- lished three weeks successively in the New Hampshire Gazette; the expense whereof, as well as the cost of making said parti- tion, shall be paid by said petitioners.
