Vol. XV. GAZETTE, CHRONICLE, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. NO. 753 { Weeks since this Paper was first Publish'd. }
Messieurs FOWLES, Please to publish the following in your Gazette. Humanum est errare.
As there are large tracts of valuable, but uncultivated land in this province; and as the settlement and cultivation of them is at present the chief object of attention; 'tis supposed that any hints which may tend to promote this desirable end, or to remove any obstacles to its advancement, will be candidly received by the publick. And, since error is the common attendant of human nature; and even the most improved understanding, and resolved integrity are not entirely secure from mistakes; if there be any thing in the Laws of the province, which tends either now to impede and obstruct the settlement of the wilderness, or hereafter to involve the honest and industrious planter in ruin and misery; our Fathers of the legislature will not think it any reflection upon them to point it out, and will be glad to see it amended. After this apology, it is humbly submitted to consideration, whether such be not the tendency of a certain clause in a law of this province, which was benevolently designed for the ease and benefit of new plantations, entitled, "An Act in addition to several laws of this province relative to proprietors, directing how proprietary meetings, of the owners of land and other real estate lying and held in common and undivided may be called, and their other common and public affairs transacted."
This law, 'tis true, is but temporary: but as there are many new towns settling, which stand in need of the assistance of it, 'tis not probable it will be suffer'd finally to expire at present. This law, after directing how to proceed with proprietors delinquent in paying proprietary taxes, and enabling to sell part of their land for payment thereof, proceeds "saving the rights of some covert, infants, persons in captivity, or beyond seas, so far as to allow them one year after their respective impediments are removed, "they paying the sum due as aforesaid, with the interest thereof, at the rate of six per cent per annum, and to their heirs and assigns respectively, to "redeem the same."
This proviso, 'tis confess'd, is but obscurely penned, and the words so tranposed from their natural order, as to add much to the obscurity and uncertainty of it. But when certain conditions of redemption are expressed, we naturally suppose them to be the only conditions intended. If the legislature did not design the conditions of redemption expressed in this proviso to be exclusive of all other conditions, we hope the next revival of the act will declare their meaning more explicitly. At present; taking it that no other conditions are intended, than those expressed in the proviso, let us examine what must be the operation of this saving.
A principal sum, at six per cent interest, doubles in something less than 17 years: new lands at but moderate cultivation, increase in value at least twenty fold in the same time. Suppose now the right of an infant, feme covert, &c. to be sold for non payment of Taxes to the value of £. 10. About the expiration of 16 years the impediment is removed.— Within one year after, the infant, (now of age) feme covert, now sole, &c. or their heirs and assigns respectively, pay or lawfully tender to the purchaser, or his heirs or assigns, now in possession of the land improved in value as aforesaid by his or their labour and industry, £. 10 the principal sum, and £. 10 the interest thereof, 20l. instead of 200l, the real improved value of the land, and according to this proviso, the present tenant of the freehold, must quietly surrender his possession, or be compelled to it by a suit at law. The impediment, perhaps, may not be removed 'till the expiration of thirty years or more. The principal sum 10l. in this time is not more than trebled: but the land is improved in value, probably more than thirty fold. The industrious farmer has now a farm of 300l. value, improved from 10l. value by his own pain and labour! but, alas! is destined to be turned out of house and home upon tender or payment of 30l. a tenth of it's value. So that this proviso enables a Person, who (at least) has done nothing to deserve this favour; by payment of
one tenth of the real improved value of lands, to reinstate himself in possession and property thereof, to the prejudice of the laborious planter, who has an undoubted right in natural justice to the land itself, or to the full improved value of it: having paid the value of it in its natural uncultivated state; and the increase of its value arising from his own labour, and industry, the original source of distant property among the human race.
The law of England, considering persons under age, whom it calls infants, as incapable of taking a proper care of their own property, kindly takes them and it under it's own protection and care. And very just and necessary it is that the rights of infants should be saved to them. But it is not therefore just that the rights of others should be given them, as is done consequently by this proviso.
To see how many mischiefs and impositions this proviso exposes us to, we need only consider to how many kinds of persons it extends, and how many cases, which may daily happen, are within it.
A man has a large family of children under age. Natural affection more strongly disposes him to provide for them, than religion or virtue does to strict integrity. Their names are all inserted in the charter of some new town; or he, at a small price purchases for them several proprietor's shares a piece. The children's property being now secured by the proviso under consideration, the parent takes no care to pay the taxes affixed on their rights. The proprietors sell part of their land for payment of their rates according to this act. The purchasers improve and settle the same. As the children come of age, within one year, they respectively pay or tender, according to the proviso, one fifth, tenth, or twentieth of the improved and real value of the land, and thereby intitle themselves to enter upon other men's labours, and (were it not for the benignity of the law concerning emblements) would literally verify that saying, "one soweth, and another reapeh."
A feme sole purchases several shares of land in new towns, and forthwith takes husband. She is now within the proviso: and her husband takes no care to pay the taxes. A great part of her land is sold according to this act, and settled and improved by the purchasers. After ten, twenty, or thirty years she becomes sole, and pays or tenders, or her heirs pay or tender as above, a small part of the value of the land; and have a farm improved to their hands by other men's unrewarded labour.
A man who has no fixed place of residence on the earth, purchases in some new town, and ships himself to France or Ireland, or some other part of the dominions of the British crown: or if that is not distant enough, he goes out the liegeance of Britain. He resides beyond seas 'till he hears his lands are well cultivated; then returns and tenders or pays the legal salvage, & fattens on the labours of the diligent.
Sad is the condition of those unfortunate persons whom chance of war has banished their native land, and confined in chains of afflictions to an enemy's country. As their sufferings are for their country's cause, their country is bound in justice to take care of their property in their absence.
But what danger to any man's property can be apprehended from these unhappy persons? If they could not do any damage of themselves; the pious care of their friends, in purchasing for their benefit might introduce equal mischiefs with those above described.
No man can imagine that these inconveniences were apprehended by the legislature when they inserted the proviso under consideration. It seems to have been copied from English statutes, without sufficiently attending to the different circumstances of lands in Britain and America. Our legislators cannot be enough commended for adhering closely to approved English precedents which have stood the test of the wisdom and vice of ages, so far as our circumstances are the same with those of our brethren in Britain. Most of the difficulties and uncertainties of jurisprudence among us arise from a needlessly and wanton departure from such precedents. But in the case under consideration the circumstances are to to  caso different. The lands in Britain have been set-
tled and cultivated from time immemorial; so that the annual issues of the land do abundantly recompence, and more than compensate the labours of the farmer. If any part of the lands, in Britain is covered with wood, the timber thereon, in the heart of a well cultivated country, is of more value than the produce of the best arable or meadow. In such a country, 'tis very reasonable to save the rights of all persons under disabilities, provided they make claim in due time after their impediments are removed. For the possessor is every year fully repaid his labour and charge by the profits of the lands, and has been no loser , when put out of possession by a person claiming under a prior right. But uncultivated lands in America are of little value, their value arising chiefly from improvement and cultivation. The timber in the interior parts of the country is so far from being of any considerable value, that it is an incumbrance on the land, and the planters are obliged, at great expence, to burn it thereon. Every man must see that in such a case a saving of rights may be very inequitable, though highly reasonable and equitable in Britain. Instead of doing any real service, such a saving must, in America, be productive (as to waste uncultivated lands) of infinite mischiefs and inconveniences: and, when its consequences are seen and understood, must be an unsurmountable bar to the settlement of the Wilderness. Who would dare to purchase the Estate of an Infant or any other Person within the Proviso, or having purchased, to improve it, if he knew that he might be obliged to quit his labour and property upon tender of one tenth of its value? And how are we sure that the ingenuity of man which has found ways to evade the most salutary Laws, and at the same time the most strongly guarded, will not discover the means of disquieting possessions, and ruining the industrious Farmer under the countenance of this Proviso? In short; this Proviso, when it's consequences are understood, must nearly amount to a total exception of the persons within it from proprietary taxes.
How contrary this to the spirit of the common law of England, which directs that all persons under what disabilities soever shall be bound by conditions annexed to their estates. Now in almost or all the grants of uncultivated lands in this province, settling, or at least, clearing and cultivating the lands, and paying taxes, are made conditions of holding the same lands. And if so all persons delinquent in paying taxes must acknowledge the benignity of a law which should sacrifice a part of their rights (even without liberty or redemption) to the preservation of the remainder.— Infants, and all other Persons ought, for the benefit of those with whom they are connected in interest, and for the common good, in the settlement of the wilderness, to pay proprietary taxes, levied to defray the charges of settlement:— And when so much of their land is sold as is sufficient for this purpose ( if it be sold for it's equitable value ) they are paid for it: and there is no more reason for their redeeming it, except by paying it's full improved value, than there is for a feme covert avoiding her alienation by fine levied in the King's court. To oblige those who are intrusted with the care of the sale, to act according to equity and good conscience, severe penalties should be inflicted on them in case of fraud proved. But as it is necessary for the encouraging of settlement, that those who labour should be sure of enjoying the fruit of their labours; the alienation of the lands of delinquent proprietors for payment of their taxes should never be avoided, in case the purchaser settles or cultivates it. In case he does not; the provision of the law under consideration for redemption of the rights of infants, &c. is, as far as I see, equitable enough, tho' unnecessary.
The absurdity of a general liberty of redemption of the rights of infants, &c. will very plainly appear when we consider, that if it be done so that abus legitimini faciat injuriam ; so that no body shall be injured by it; in most cases it will be no benefit to the persons whose rights are reserved. Unless upon redemption, the full improved value of the land be paid to the purchaser or him in possession under the purchaser; he is injured. And what great benefit

Can it be to me to be enabled to redeem my land upon payment of its full value? It seems at first blush to be little better than to leave me at my natural liberty to purchase where it best suits me, and I can agree with the present owner.
The writer of this is far from assuming to dictate to the wisdom of our legislators: But as the settlement of the waste lands in this province is an object he has much at heart (though he knows not that he has any interest directly or indirectly in possession or expectancy, in any waste lands to which this act may by any possibility extend) he hopes for the indulgence of the public toward these hints which to him appear of some importance. If they shall be of any influence to promote the end he has in view, he has his reward: If not he shall rest satisfied in the sincerity of his intentions. If he is mistaken in supposing the inconveniences described to be the necessary consequences of the proviso he has been considering, he shall be glad to see that the act needs no amendment. At least he thinks it plainly stands in need of explanation.

Further Advices bro't by the Ship Boicawen, Capt. Robson, and the Ship Marquis of Rockingham, Capt. Whitewood, from London; by whom we have the following Advices to January 4th.
L O N D O N, November 19.
YESTERDAY morning was preached at the Tabernacle in Tottenham-court Road, by the Rev. John Wesley, M.A., the Funeral Sermon of the Rev. Mr. GEORGE WHITEFIELD, who died at Newbury near Boston in New-England, Sept. 30. The front of the gallery round the Chapel was quite covered with black cloth, as was the pulpit, reading-desk, and communion-table, which had escutcheons of Mr. Whitefield's arms and crest. The many thousands who attended was almost incredible, who being clothed in black, chiefly out of respect to their beloved Minister, together with the hanging, had a most uncommon appearance.
Mr. Wesley, in this animated Discourse, takes his text from Num. xxiv. ver. 10. "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his." He first recites some particulars of Mr. Whitefield's life and death; next, takes a view of his character; and lastly, enquires how the circumstances of his departure may be improved by those that survive him.
After expatiating upon his deceased Friend's Activity, Tenderness, and Charity Mr. Wesley, proceeds with the delineation of his character in the following words.
But should we not likewise mention his deep gratitude, to all whom God had used as instruments of good to him? Of whom he did not cease to speak in the most respectful manner, even to his dying day. Should we not mention, that he had a heart susceptible of the most generous and most tender Friendship! I have frequently thought, that this, of all others, was the distinguishing part of his character. How few have we known of so kind a temper, of such large and flowing affections? Was it not principally by this, that the hearts of others were so strangely drawn and knit to him? Can any thing but love begit love? This shone in his very countenance, and continually breathed in all his words, whether in public or private. Was it not this, which quick and penetrating as lightning flew from heart to heart? Which gave that life to his Sermons, his Conversations, his Letters? Ye are witnesses.
But away with the vile misconstruction of men of corrupt minds who know of no love but what is earthly and sensual. Be it remembered, at the same time, that he was endowed with the most nice and unblemished Modesty. His office called him to converse very frequently and largely, with women as well as men; and those of every age and condition. But his whole behaviour toward them, was a practical comment on that advice of St. Paul to Timothy, Intreat the elder Women as Mothers, the younger as Sisters, with all Purity.
Mean time, how suitable to the friendliness of his spirit, was the Frankness and Openness of his conversation? Although it was as far removed from rudeness on the one hand, as from guile and disguise on the other. Was not this frankness at once a fruit and a proof of his Courage and Intrepidity? Armed with these, he feared not the faces of men, but used great Plainness of Speech to persons of every rank and condition, high and low, rich and poor, endeavouring only by Manifestation of the Truth, to commend himself to every Man's Conscience in the sight of God.
Neither was he afraid of labour or pain, any more than of what Man could do unto him, being equally "Patient in bearing ill and doing well."
And this appeared in the steadiness wherewith he pursued whatever he undertook for his Master's sake. Witness one instance for all, the Orphan-house in Georgia, which he began and perfected in spite of all discouragements. Indeed, in whatever concerned himself, he was pliant and flexible. In this case he was easy to be intreated, easy to be either convinced or persuaded. But he was immovable in the things of God, or wherever his conscience was concerned. None could persuade, any more than affright him, to vary in the least point from that Integrity, which was inseparable from his whole character, and regulated all his words and actions. Herein he did
"Stand as an iron pillar strong, And stedfast as a wall of brass."
If it be inquired, What was the foundation of this integrity, or of his sincerity, courage, patience, and every other valuable and amiable quality, it is easy to give the answer. It was not the excellency of his natural temper: nor the strength of his understanding: it was not the force of education; no, nor the advice of his friends. It was no other than faith in a bleeding Lord; Faith of the operation of God. It was a lively hope of an inheritance incorruptible undefiled, and that fadeth not away. It was the love of God shed abroad in his heart by the Holy Ghost, which was given unto him, filling his soul with tender disinterested love to every child of man. From this source arose that torrent of eloquence which frequently bore down all before it: From this, that astonishing force of Persuasion, which the most hardened sinners could not resist. Th's it was often made his Head as Waters and his Eyes a Fountain of Tears. This it was, which enabled him to pour out his soul in Prayer, in a manner peculiar to himself, with such fulness and ease united together, with such strength and variety both of sentiment and expression.
I may close this head with observing, what an honour it pleased God to put upon his faithful servant, by allowing him to declare his everlasting gospel to so many various countries, to such numbers of people, and with so great an effect, on so many of their precious souls! Have we read or heard of any person since the Apostles, who testified the gospel of the grace of God, though so widely extended a place, through so large a part of the habitable world? Have we read or heard of any person who called so many thousands, so many myriads of sinners to repentance? Above all, have we read or heard of any, who has been a blessed instrument in his hand of bringing so many sinners from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God? It is true, were we to talk thus to the gay world, we should be judged to speak as Barbarians.---But you understand the language of the country to which you are going, and whether our dear friend is gone a little before us.

The following extract of a letter from France is handed about in the city:---"The English Ministry are universally derided or pitied on the Continent; the several powers of Europe, even to the petty Electorates of the Empire, hold them in contempt, for carrying on a dilatory negotiation with Spain, which was never meant by the latter to have a pacific issue. The political creed of every thinking people in Europe, except of the English, in respect to the present commotions, is as follows: That the Spaniards are protracting this negotiation to gain time, & equip themselves for the field; that they will then attack the British territories in both the Indies; that while our forces are hurried from home to oppose their motions in these places, and the kingdom left defenceless at home, France will pour in her strength on the naked island, and endeavour to complete the ruin of that constitution, which they have admired and envied for so many centuries."
Extract of a Letter from Boston, in New-England.
WHAT is now the State of Society in the Town of Boston, that assumes to itself the Name of the Metropolis of America? No respect is paid here to Government; no sense of Subordination; and from the want of some superior Power to cling to for protection, every man is suspicious of his neighbour; whilst a few Demagogues harangue the People, and under the name of Liberty, lead them on to actions of violence, cruelty and oppression; and Society seems altogether without order, without government; the Magistrate shrinks from his duty, and the Demagogues presume to dictate to the Judges on the seat of justice. Whilst the Officers of the Crown are insulted, assaulted, and abused, and the peaceable and quiet Subject, who would pay obedience to the Law, is persecuted, oppressed, bere down, and banished: Amidst all this, Government contents itself with passing faint Resolves that are ridiculed by every petty Assembly, which pass in return Counteresolves of equal weight, as the first are unsupported; and the time that Government wastes in vain deliberations, is employed by the Colonists themselves in cementing their union, and strengthening themselves in a Resistance to the Authority of Great-Britain."
The Rev. Mr. Josh, in his sermon last Sunday, at Mr. Whitefield's Tabernacle, in Tottenham Court Road, informed the audience that next Sunday Mr. John Wesley will preach there in the morning a funeral sermon on the death of Mr. Whitefield, that Gentleman having long ago, as he informed them, agreed with Mr. Wesley, that which ever of the two survived should preach the deceased's funeral sermon.
They write from Amsterdam that above 80 tons of tea were actually shipped there lately for St. Eustatia, to be disposed of to the North Americans.
We are informed that the disputes with respect to the Americans, are in a fair way of being terminated. The outlines of the agreement are said to be, that the tea act be repealed, on condition that a certain sum annually be raised by the Houses of Assembly in each province, for the use of the public, in such manner as they shall think proper; & that an Act of oblivion shall pass for all that has happened, on both sides, since the passing the Revenue-Act for America.
The expected Remonstrance from Ireland is said to be more dreaded at the West end of the town than all the English Petitions and Remonstrances together.
Extract of a Letter from Capt. Westcombe, of the Rickman, from Gijon, off Dover, Nov. 15.
"I failed from Gijon the 3d instant on the 27th of October entered the port of Corunna, 20 ships of the line, and 20 transports all French; and the Spaniards have at that port 20 sail more of the line, all ready for sea. I came away by night, expecting to be stopped if I remained till the next day."
It is said the S---h w---s formed by a great Personage, & that very few alterations have been made in it by the M---y, but such as were, are said to have been advised by L---d M---d.
L O N D O N, December 6.
It is said, that commissions for goods to the value of three hundred thousand pounds sterling, are now executing with all diligence in the City, to be exported to the American Colonies.
Yesterday se'nnight died, suddenly, the Rev. Dr. Pearce, who for fifty years had the pastoral care of a very respectable congregation of Protestant dissenters at Chelwood in Somersetshire.
Died the Earl of Egmont, who is succeeded in title and estate by his eldest son, the Right Hon. John James Viscount Percival, born Jan. 29, 1737-8. (who is Colonel of a company in the foot guards) late Member of Bridgwater; on June 4, 1765, he married Isabella, daughter and heir of Lord Nassau Powel, third son of Charles Duke of Bolton.
By the death of the Duke of Argyle and his son Marquis of Lorn's coming to the title, his Dutchess from being Mrs. Gunning a private lady, is, by marriage, come to no less than 26 Peerages in three kingdoms, viz, five Dutchies, six Marquisates, six Counties, two Viscounties, and nine Baronies, viz.
In France; Dutchess of Chatel Herault.
In Scotland; Dutchess of Hamilton, Douglass, Cleddestal, Argyle, Kintyre, and Lorn. Countess of Airon, Angus, Lanark, Argyle, Campbell, Cowel. Baroness of Macanshire, Polmont, Aberborthick, Inverary, Mull, Morvern, and Tyre.
In England Dutchess of Brandon. Baroness of Dutton, and Sundridge.
The fame may not possibly be met with in any other Kingdom, that is not a Sovereign Princess, or crowned head.
Jan. 4: It is said a great Personage expressed the utmost concern and dissatisfaction at the behaviour of two great Assemblies to each other: "What, said he, when he heard it, must foreign nations think of us?"
As the King of Prussia was lately riding from Potsdam to Berlin, attended by one gentleman and one hussar, he perceived on a post which was placed in the road, a paper written in large characters; he ordered the hussar to bring it to him, when he perceived it was a libel against himself and government, wherein he was accused, in most indecent terms, of every crime human nature could be guilty of. The King shewed it to the gentleman, and asked him what he thought of it: "Why, Sir, said he, you should find out the author, and let him suffer the utmost rigour of the law."---"Pho, pho, says the King; here hussar, put it in its place again; it will save the poor author the trouble of writing another; was I to destroy this, he would have nothing to do but to write for a fortnight."
INTELLIGENCE EXTRAORDINARY.
IT is said, a number of great mechanical Geniuses are employed to construct an engine, by which the Province of Massachusetts-Bay, may be removed from where it now lies, nearer home, that we may have it more under our eye, and prevent, for the future, all "Combinations," "unwarrantable Practices," which have constantly hitherto began in that province. It is farther said the Lever is to be the principal power used in this grand machine; but the Projectors meet with some difficulty respecting the Fulcrum, as a proper place cannot yet be found to fix it on.
B R I D G E T O W N, (in Barbados) Dec. 8.
Capt. Devonshire, of the Sloop Polly, from North-Carolina, informs, that on the 3d ult. in 33. 7. north lat. and 72. 59. west long. he fell in with a wreck, she was a small new double decked Schooner, with a long quarter deck, a white bottom, yellow sides, firing and mouldings green, and her drifts abaft red. She had a woman head, and a carved stern; her rudder was gone, her fore-mast appeared to have been carried, and her main-mast cut away. She was loaded with pine-boards.
C H A R L E S T O W N, (South-Carolina) February 5.
At the Court of General Sessions at Charleston, South-Carolina, Joseph Jorden was convicted of running away with a Schooner, and sentenced to be hanged on the 15th of February ---among other Criminals, one William Setterwhite, was fined 700l. currency, for murdering a Negro.---William Duna, for killing a Negro in a sudden heat of passion was fined 350l.
One of the Prisoners who was found not guilty by the Jury, without going out of Court, was a young woman from Craven County, under twenty years of age, indicted for stealing seventeen horses. Her beauty and elegant figure, joined to the native innocence visible in her countenance, and the strangeness of the accusation, interested every body in the cause; her council did her great justice, and her acquittal was received with universal satisfaction.
Feb. 12. All our accounts from the West-Indies seem to indicate that a war with Spain is unavoidable; the savage treatment the English daily meet with from the Dons at Porto-Rico, are insults the British nation could never brook till of late.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, February 28.
Extract of a letter from the Captain of a vessel at Barbados to his Owners here, dated Jan. 24.
"On my passage hither I met with very bad weather, and off of Bermuda I fell in with, and took up a Brig's top-masts, topsail-yards, sails and rigging, that had been cut away."
One day last week, a person who goes by the name of Capt. Clark, having some words with a woman known by the name of Moll Wash, he threw her into the fire, and held her there some time with his foot, whereby she was terribly burnt; she however made her escape and got to a neighbouring house, where, notwithstanding all possible care was taken of her, she died in a few hours, in great agony.---The man has since made off.
N E W - Y O R K, March 4.
Saturday evening last, the Sloop Swift, Captain Webly, arrived here from Teneriffe, who informs us, that a number of Spanish troops arrived at that place about the middle of January.
Last Thursday Afternoon arrived here the Duke of Cumberland Packet, Captain Goodridge, in 10 Weeks from Falmouth, but brings no Advices so late as we already have had by Way of Boston.
Some Letters by the Packet mention War as yet doubtful, while others say it's inevitable, however, we hear a Company of Light Infantry is to be added to all the Regiments in America, and 20 private Men to each Company; also that another Battalion is to be added to the Regiment of Artillery; and that most of the Line of Battle Ships in the British Navy were put into Commission.
Monday last his Excellency the Governor prorogued the general Assembly of this Colony; by which Prorogation Capt. Alexander McDougall was enlarged, after a Confinement of 3 Months.
A Gentleman who left Gibraltar the 11th of December acquaints us, That when he came away the Garrison of that Place consisted of seven Regiments, and 400 of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, and that three Regiments more were daily expected there from Ireland, but left only one Frigate in the Harbour, having failed in Company with Capt. St. John, in the Edgar, of 64 Guns, bound for Lisbon, in order to get Cash to pay the Garrison; that the Spaniards had in the Neighbourhood of St. Roche, and Algezara, about 8 Miles from Gibraltar, between 20 and 30,000 Men; that he himself saw many Thousands of them, having obtained a Pass to go a few Miles into Spain, and that the most of the Spanish Troops were ordered to their seaports, as they were apprehensive, in case of a rupture with England, of being visited by a British fleet.

N E W - H A V E N, March 2.
By Capt. Brown in 32 days from the West-Indies, we are informed of a violent gale of Wind which happened on the 25 of December last, near the Lat. 36. and the damage several Vessels sustained thereby, viz. Capt. Ward, in a Sloop, belonging to Killingworth, as he was scudding, over-set, by which he lost his Mate and 5 hands, himself and two others were taken off the wreck two days after. Capt. Wickham, in a Schooner, shared the same fate, himself and all the hands, except an Indian, lost. Capt. Stillman from New-London, lost his Stock off his Deck except 6 Horses. Capt. Goodridge, in a Schooner, was spoke with having lost his Foremast and 44 Horses. Captain Perkins, in a Brig from Norwich, lost one of his Hands and 28 Horses. Capt. Hews, of this Port lost 5 or 6 Horses. And Captain Ventrous lost 10 or a dozen of his Oxen, with some distemper, after he arrived.
B O S T O N, March 16.

B O S T O N, March 14.
In the North-East Storm last Sunday, we hear that Capt. Mc Clure in a Schooner from North-Carolina, bound to this Port, was cast away at Cape-Ann, near Squam; her Cargo was Corn and Naval Stores: The Vessel and Corn lost, most of the Naval Stores saved: The People saved their Lives with much Difficulty.
On Monday last Mr. FLUCKER's Commission was read, and he was sworn in Council.
This Day His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, the Members of his Majesty's Council, the Judges of the Superior Court with the Gentlemen of the Bar, in their Gowns, the Officers of the Militia in their Uniforms, and many other principal Gentlemen, waited on His Excellency the Governor at the Province House, about One o'Clock walked in Procession to the Town-House, being preceded by a Company under Arms, composed of the non-commissioned Officers of the Regiment of Militia of this Town, and lead by Capt. Dawes, and being followed by the Troop of Guards under the Command of Col. Phips. His Excellency and the Gentlemen who attended him went into the Council-Chamber, and the Troop of Guards and Company of Militia, marched into King-Street, where was a Detachment of the Artillery under Lieut. Trott. His Majesty's Commissions to the Governor and Lieutenant-Governor were then read in the Council-Chamber, and the usual Oaths administered. While the Commissions were reading the Guns were fired from His Majesty's Ships in the Harbour, under the Command of the Hon. Commodore Gambier, from the Batteries in Town and from Castle-William. Whilst several loyal Healths were drinking in the Council Chamber, there were regular Firings by the Troop of Guards, the Train of Artillery, and Militia Company in King-Street.
We hear that His Majesty's Council and many of the principal Officers of the Crown are to dine with His Excellency; and that the Assembly at Concert-Hall which in course would have been on To-Morrow Evening, is altered to this Evening.
We hear from good Authority, That his Excellency intends to meet the Court at the Time to which it now stands prorogued, viz. the 3d of April.
At the Town-Meeting, last Monday, was read, an elegant & pathetic letter from the famous Dr. Lucas, in Dublin, in answer to one sent him by the committee appointed to transmit the account of the Massacre to Europe. In this letter the Dr. sympathizes with his American fellow-sufferers, and enumerates so many and audacious instances of Military barbarity, insolence and rebounded licentiousness, as demonstrates that law is indeed the will of the Ministry for that Kingdom. He laments the ignorant difference in religion and consequent want of unanimity in the people, which render them an easy prey to any kind of Forces that would enslave them, professes a high esteem for
America, and still hopes the unanimous efforts of her wife and virtuous children will much effect towards a general restoration of constitutional liberty.
Advice was received at Philadelphia, from Tobago, That there had been a Conspiracy in that Island of 40 Coromantee Negroes, who attacked the Barracks, where were only five Soldiers, of which they murdered two, and made themselves Masters of all the Arms and Ammunition there. The Inhabitants were obliged to send to Barbados for Assistance: But that on the 30th of November it was subdued, as most of the Conspirators were either killed, hanged, burnt, or taken.
March 18. We hear the Merchants of this Town are to meet at the British Coffee-House at Ten o'Clock this Morning, in order to wait upon his Excellency the Governor with a congratulatory Address upon his Appointment to the chief Command of this Province.

Extract of a Letter from the Right Honourable the Countess of Huntingdon, received by the Packet from London.
S I R,
I can't express how much I feel myself obliged by your most kind Attentions, shown to me in communicating with so much Tenderness, and Respect to Dear Mr. WHITEFIELD, the Account of his having fallen asleep.—Thirty Years very intimate Friendship with him must make it a severe Stroke to all the remaining Self-Love that it found in his Friends: I loved him, and highly honoured him, and this from the fullest conviction that an Honester Man, a more Faithful Minister of the Gospel, and one so highly favoured of God, I have never known, and this through and to the End of his blessed Pilgrimage on Earth."

To be sold by William Frost,
And to be entered on immediately after Sale,
A SMALL FARM, at New Castle, containing forty five Acres of upland, and fifteen Acres of Meadow Land, with a House and Barn, &c. on the same; also a good Orchard and two large Gardens, with a variety of good English Fruit Trees, in the same, all well Fenced in with Stone Wall, and partitioned as inclos'd and the Meadow inclosed by a large Ditch round it; there is cut on the Farm about fifteen Tons of English Hay yearly besides Meadow Hay; the said Land being bounded on the East by the Harbour going into Piscataqua River, and on the Southwest by little Harbour, and extends to the Northwest, from Jerry's Point so called.—Any Person that may incline to purchase the same, may take a view of the premises, and are desired to apply to Wm.

WE hear from Moultonborough, that a Road has lately been cut from the CO'OS Road through said Township, and well cleared down to that part of Winnipisockee Pond, called Squam Cove , in said Moultonborough, where there is a Wharfe and Store House erected, which will shortly be supplied with Salt, Rum, Fish, and other Articles, to open a Correspondence and Trade with the Inhabitants of those Townships on the Western parts of this Province and Connecticut River, and to receive Wheat and Flour, (the produce of their Farms) in Exchange, & also Pot Ashes, Pearl Ashes and Salts: The situation of the said Cove, seems by Nature calculated to be a place for Business, being the most convenient of any in the upper part of said Pond, from thence there will be near 20 Miles, Water Carriage to the lower Part thereof; from thence there is or soon will be a good Waggon Road to Dover , and then again by Water to this Town: From this seemingly small Beginning (in the Opinion of the most Judicious) will result the greatest Advantages both public and private, that has ever been experienced in this Province; and in a few Years we shall be able to supply ourselves with Wheat, Flour, and Provisions much cheaper than to import them.
To hasten this happy Period, we could wish to see the Industry of many poor Families employed to more Advantage, than spending a miserable Life of Want and Necessity on barren and worn out Farms, when they and their Offspring may be blessed with an almost spontaneous produce of rich and fertile Lands, which will be given them upon the easy Terms of only settling on them—There are Instances of many that went from this Town only the last Year, that are already so comfortable, and contented, that they could not be easily tempted to return; they now no longer feel the want of Firing, and the very Ashes, which they now preserve, will, (by boiling them into Salts,) procure them every necessary of Life; There is nothing wanting but Resolution to accomplish a settlement, and if it was not for exceeding the Bounds of a News Paper, we could enumerate many Advantages that the Poor would reap by emigrating into the New Townships, but we could wish some able pen would be employed for this purpose, and that every old settled Town would raise and lend ten Dollars to every poor Family that removes, till they can repay the same.
