Messieurs PRINTERS,
As we have at length struggled thro' a long and bloody war, and are soon to taste the blessings of peace, we should take the earliest measures to sink our heavy debt, by the most lenient measures, and the least distressing to the people; but above all let us strive to support the public credit, which is almost vanished.
Monsieur Nackar, the late great Financier of France, being asked by the King, our illustrious Ally, by what means he supported the credit of the nation? replied, by attending to its revenues, reducing unnecessary dependents, and punctually paying off the interest of the public debt; and even Lord North, the Minister of Great Britain (whose name will be remembered by an American) upon a motion made in the House of Commons, to seize all foreign monies in the Bank, opposed the measure with great warmth, saying, he would not wish or desire even the property of an AMERICAN REBEL to be seized, for he would have the Bank support its credit at all events, as upon that depends the credit of the nation; and he further observed, that by being punctual in paying the interest of the public loans, he was able to borrow any sums he wanted; and by this punctuality alone, he had been also able to carry on the American war, but has this been the case with America? Its faith is almost become proverbial, punic faith! vox et preterea nihil! It is therefore the duty of every friend to suggest any measure by which the state (of which he is member) may in any degree recover the confidence of the people, more especially of those men who have so bravely fought in support of our rights, and defence of our lives and properties; but a few years past, many of us dreaded the dangers of being executed by the common hangmen for rebellion; and had we not have been assisted by a great and powerful prince, we know not but we should at this moment of time, have been the most depressed, abject and deplorable people upon the face of the earth, a conquered people, hewers of stone and drawers of water to the British nation, part of which consists of a people as cruel and inveterate against America, as the Aboriginals of this country were against its first European settlers. The contrast is different now, we are become a sovereignty, a respectable republic, acknowledged independent by our greatest enemies, and are laying the foundations of a mighty empire. Let us remember who hath brought this change about, and for fear some may feel themselves too important, who have only been bawlers of liberty at the corners of our streets, and in public taverns, or entertainments, when their dastardly souls would have shrunk at danger, & could not stand fire bet-
ter than calgats ; these are not the men who have caused our sudden transition from the lowest state of despondency, to a state of glory and independency: No, let not such vain glorious pretenders to liberty, assume to themselves any merit on this surprising revolution. Let them have so much modesty as to own, that under God, the brave, the virtuous, the unshaken SOLDIERS, have been our deliverers, supporters and defenders; and shall such Men as these, be the first to fill our goals for debts contracted before the war? and for the payment of which, many of them entered into the army, and now upon their return have scarce cloathing on their backs, frequently nothing in their bellies, and certainly nothing in their pockets, but discharges and furloughs: Some may ask, how comes these things to pass? The answer is ready, because the public credit is sunk to one third of its value, as that is the present value of the state notes, and the soldier must allow the whole if he takes any; I observe in your last paper the state of Philadelphia has made some paper money, for their present necessities, and I would recommend an impression of money to be called the Soldiers Reward , and let us see who will undervalue it, when coming from the hand of a soldier, to pay his just debts or supply his family; I have heard numbers lately say, that if government would support the credit of their notes, they would freely take them at par for their debts or merchandise, but being neither a tender in law for payment of debts, or in equity for payment of taxes, though expressly promised to be paid upon demand. There is no reason to expect people will take such securities more than blank paper, unless supported by the energy of a law; some object and say, making these notes tenders in law, will prevent credit being given; so much the better, it will then certainly prevent lawsuits, of which there are so many that all the specie and notes in the state would not satisfy: But let us at any rate enable the soldier to pay his debts, which he is ready to discharge with honor, and has a sufficiency due from government to do it with, if it was of value, but after many glorious campaigns in the field, where he could boldly face his enemy; he must now meanly fly from his creditors, in the place of his birth, and fears more the sight of a Bailiff than of a General, the thought is too galling, too servile, and beneath the character of a soldier.
The SOLDIERS FRIEND.

Messieurs PRINTERS,
I WOULD beg leave to ask whether every person inhabitant of America, previous to the 4th day of July 1776, were not subjects to the British King? If so, whether those persons residing in any of the
British Governments, though Americans, that have not lived in any of these states since that period, were ever American subjects? If this is admitted; whether the Kings subjects, let them be of what description soever, have not as great a right to come into the states on a visit or business, as we who are American subjects have to go to London, Nova Scotia or any other place in his Dominions: Money makers, and those guilty of capital crimes excepted.
A CORRESPONDENT.
ANECDOLE.—A refugee from this state, who formerly resided at Elizabeth Town, giving in his name at the office in New-York, as one who meant to go off was interrogated as to the place of his former residence, and where if his will were complied with, he would go. Replied, "I formerly resided in Paradise but am now bound to Hell ."—Alluding to that place of penance Nova Scarcity .

They write from the Hague, that the American commissioners cannot give their final assent to the definitive treaty, till they receive further instructions from Congress, of which they were in daily expectations when the last accounts came from Paris; yet a report prevails in that city, that the first of July is now appointed for putting the last hand to the definitive treaty, every concomitant difficulty being now entirely removed. The same advices add, that the Dutch have at last agreed, that the English shall retain Negapatnam, on the coast of Coromandel, on condition that every thing else remains in the same state as before the war.

June 10. A letter from Lisbon to a merchant in London has the following article: "We now carry on a trade with the Americans, and hitherto we have found them a fair dealing people, which has encouraged our merchants to freight several more vessels for those parts. We have received advice from Madeira, that one of the American ships which put in there for wine, being leaky, in the night sunk, and five persons, were drowned."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of credit dated New York, April 13.
"The last packet, which arrived here about a week since, brought the distressing confirmation of a peace with America; by which I find the Loyalists in this country are most shamefully and traitorously abandoned. What the consequences will be Heaven only knows. Our fears at present surpass all description. Never was there upon the face earth, a set of wretches in a more deplorable situation. Deprived of all hopes of future comfort or safety either for themselves or their unhappy wives and children, many have lost their senses, and are now in a state of perfect madness. Some have put a period to their miserable existence by drowning, shooting, and hanging themselves, leaving their unfortunate wives and helpless infants destitute of bread to support them; and I am afraid many more will follow the dreadful example."
"This city swarms with those we lately called Rebels; and daily accounts are brought in of the most violent resolves entered into by different associations, to murder all those who shall be found here upon the evacuation by the King's troops, under a hope of being permitted to return to their families. When the dreadful day arrives, I hope we shall not find our fears realized. I say I hope; for it is hope only, without any reason to believe it will be so. All appearances are against it. Under this impression, great numbers of people, with their families, are going to the deserts of Nova Scotia.—What will be their fate, where they will find places to cover their heads, or how they will subsist, it is impossible even to conjecture. In my own opinion, I have already consigned two thirds of them to the grave."
"Accounts are brought in from New Jersey, that several respectable persons have been privately assassinated there, and others hanged for returning to their families; so that you may perceive the grounds of our fears and distress."
"O infamous event! To purchase an ignominious and disgraceful peace, at the price and expense of the lives and fortunes of the most faithful subjects! My indignation is so great, that I must either be silent or indecent."
RICHMOND, (Virginia) August 2.
If (says a correspondent) the other states were to adopt a similar mode with this state to prevent the return of refugees, there would be no necessity for the people stepping forth to remedy this glaring evil; for we find the Governor's proclamation has been complied with, a number having already departed the state in consequence of it; and if any remain, they know they are subject to the proclamation, which will inevitably be rigorously executed, the citizens being determined to put it in force.
A correspondent observes, that General Washington's circular letter, entitled his Legacy, must (if possible) convey a greater idea of that illustrious character, than his
unparalleled prudence and wise conduct during the war.
"Envy itself is dumb, in wonder lost, And factions strive who shall applaud him most."
PHILADELPHIA, August 20.
We are informed that on Thursday last the Hon. the Congress resolved that Princeton should be the place of their deliberations, until the question for fixing their permanent residence should be determined, which will be the beginning of October next.
Monday last arrived here the ship Congress, Capt. Geddes, in 6 weeks from Amsterdam, by whom we learn, that M. Van Berkel, appointed Ambassador to the United States, sailed from thence for this port 10 days before Capt. Geddes, on board a 60 gun ship, attended by a 50, two frigates, and two cutters:—That the preliminaries between Holland and England were not signed when they sailed—That the Dutch were still preparing for war, and if the English did not relinquish some of their expectations, it was not likely that the treaty would be signed soon:—That the English had the impudence to ask greater privileges in trade, of our Ministers, than were granted to other nations; which had hitherto retarded the settling the treaty of commerce with America—That hostilities were commenced between the Russians and Turks; that it was expected the Emperor of Germany would take part with the Russians, and that France and Spain would assist the Turks.—It was reported at Amsterdam, that the Dutch ships sent out some time since had joined the French fleet, and that they had handled the English fleet very severely.—It was also reported, that the English had agreed to give up Gibraltar for Porto Rico.
HARTFORD, September 2.
On the 26th of May the budget was opened in the British House of Commons, by Lord Cavendish, when a great number of taxes were proposed; the last tax proposed by his Lordship is the most remarkable: "The last tax proposed by his Lordship was a duty upon every marriage, every birth and every burial. He then moved, that three pence per head be laid upon all persons married, all infants born, and all persons buried, which he estimated at twenty-five thousand pounds." We may reasonably conclude that the people of Britain are groaning under the highest degree of oppression, when they are taxed for being born, and taxed for dying!
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia; to his friend in this town, dated June 18, 1783.
"Mr. R. Morris has lately triumphed over all his enemies. His account of his expenditures astonished his friends, and confounded and silenced even——, how concealed the strongest personal resentment against him, under a zeal for the public good. His expenses for near two years, amount to only one third of the annual expense of former years. In the year 1778, one thousand tons of hay were consumed in Philadelphia; in 1780, only ten tons were consumed at the same post, in consequence of Mr. Morris's happy and frugal management. No wonder he has so many enemies. "The man (says the Count de Saren) who aspires after the honor of becoming benefactor of mankind, must not rest in pure, but timid, wishes. He must possess the audacity of patriotism, and the intrepidity of virtue. He must be willing to make sacrifices." Perhaps
the most expensive and difficult sacrifice a man can make to his country, is his reputation—This Mr. Morris has given up for the salvation of the United States."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New York, to his friend in this town, dated August 19, 1783.
"It is now beyond doubt, that the British will leave this place in a very short time. The King's proclamation, for reducing the army to the peace establishment, was yesterday read to the troops, in general orders; as was also the act of Parliament which makes provision for the provincial troops."
"I think there will but a few of the hot Tories remain here—They talk much of the ingratitude of the Americans, and all say they will never prosper."
We hear from Killingworth, that on Thursday last the wife of Mr. Fisk, of that place, was delivered of four children, two boys and two girls; the whole of them weighed twenty five pounds—The mother and children were all in a fair way to do well.
PROVIDENCE, August 23.
Extract of a letter from Princeton, July 30.
General Howe, who had the command of the troops detached from the army to go to Philadelphia, in order to bring to condign punishment the mutineers in that city, has proceeded in apprehending and examining the principal offenders, whose trials are now going on before a court martial constituted for that purpose. Such of the three years men under his command, as shall not be longer necessary to effect the purposes for which they were detached, are to return to the army."
SALÉM, September 4.
They write from Copenhagen (says a London paper of June 6) that the King of Denmark has appointed the Count de Flenburgh Ambassador to the United States of America; that he is preparing every thing for his departure, and a vessel is ordered to be ready at Elsinour, to take him and his retinue on board.
