From the Philadelphia Gazette. The following recent instance of tyranny, exercised by the British government at Surinam, having been made the subject of conversation in several circles in this city, I think it a duty I owe to the public and myself, to publish the circumstances as they have been sworn to in my affidavit before the mayor of the city, on my arrival; and which were noted down at the time.
J. H. HORTON.
Paramaribo, June 9, 1805. Proceedings of the governor, of the British colony of Paramaribo, in S. America.
Being loaded and nearly ready for sea, I repaired as usual to the custom-house, for my clearance, but I was informed on my arrival, that the Fiscal had refused to sign my certificate, unless I would take on board a criminal negroes, who were under condemnation of banishment: This I informed them I could never think of doing, and went immediately to the American Consul and informed him of the Fiscal's resolution; he advised me to go and lay the business before the governor. Accordingly I went and waited on his excellency, not doubting but that he would interfere in my favor: but alas! I soon found my mistake. I met the governor and his secretary standing at his door; I advanced and addressed the gov. as follows:
"Sir, your most obedient; I have business of importance to acquaint you with. The governor asked what is it? I answered—The Fiscal sir, refuses to sign my certificate unless I will take on board two criminal negroes that are sentenced to be banished from the colony: The governor replied very well take them. I asked, must I take them? The governor, replied yes, you must take them. I answered I think it hard; the gov. replied I cant help that, you must take them they will answer you a very good purpose, they will be fit members for you Americans. I then asked, but why sir, if they are such useful members of society, do you not keep them in your own colony? The governor then answered, because we dont like them, they dont answer our purpose, they dont suit us but they will do very well for you, they will answer you a very good purpose. I answered neither, do I like them, nor can I take them; the governor said you must take them. I replied, how shall I answer this to my country when I return? I expose myself to a heavy fine besides incur my country's displeasure. The governor replied, O poh, things of this nature are easily answered in America; I replied, be that as it may general, I cannot take them; the governor then answered in a peremptory tone of voice, then remain there, looking towards the shipping at anchor; the governor then walked away. I then addressed the secretary, and asked, is there then no alternative? the secretary replied, none at all you must take them. I went immediately to the consul and requested him to make out my protest as soon as possible for I should immediately abandon both vessel and cargo; the consul advised me to form no such resolution, he said that he would do all that lay in his power to assist me, he wished me to carry a letter to the governor, accordingly I went and gave the letter to the governor's secretary—I waited until the next day, but no answer came to the letter. I was then advised to go once more and see the governor, that perhaps he had altered his resolution. —I thought the prospect small, but notwithstanding I went at about nine o'clock in the morning, I met the secretary at the door, and addressed him with, your servant, sir, I asked, Is the governor within? the secretary replied I asked, can I see him? he said
No, it is not an hour to wait on the governor, I answered, I ask pardon for intruding, but I thought it an hour to wait on any gentleman. The secretary said, if you are on the affair concerning these criminals, my orders from the governor are, to inform you, that you must abide by the laws of the colony; that I know no such man as the American consul in the colony, and that you must take them. I then asked, Will you give me a writing from under your hand, to certify that they were put on board by your order? he answered with a raised tone of voice, and a consequential air of importance, I will give you nothing at all. All hopes were now at an end, I must submit, and have them put on board without having any thing to show my country on my return home, how I came by them. I then went to the Fiscal and endeavored to dissuade him from his resolution, but seeing him determined, I requested of him a certificate to prove that they were put on board by his authority. At first he refused, but at length being softened on being informed the situation my vessel and ship's company were in, and being made sensible of the difficulty that I should have on my arrival in America, he at length consented to give me a certificate to show that they were put on board by his authority, also that he had tendered me fifty guilders a piece for their passages, and that I had refused to take it. He then sent two constables armed with staves and cutlasses, and took them from prison, and put them on board—nor could I then get my clearance, until I had given a receipt that they were on board, and that I would take them out of the colony.
He informed me also, that special orders would be sent down to the officer of the Fort at Bram's Point, to see that those criminals were on board when I past the fort, and to fire on any boat that should leave the vessel, or attempt to land after I past the Fort.

NEW YORK, July 27.
By the schr. Diana, from Curracoa, we learn that a British squadron, under command of captain Murray, in Franchise frigate, one other frigate, a brigs and four schooners, were blockading Curracoa; and four days previous to the Diana's sailing, they made a descent upon Carraccas Bay, to the windward of the island, landed 180 men, cannonaded the fort, and in the evening were repulsed and beat off, leaving behind three prisoners, an 18 pound cannonade, and 20 muskets.—The troops re-embarked and went off to the leeward where they landed their sick and wounded amounting to 70 men.
We are further informed, that the whole leeward part of the island, from the West end, within 20 miles of the town, had surrendered to the British, which they had burnt and destroyed. Mr. Robert Caen, had been arrested by the Dutch government, upon suspicion of his corresponding with the British—we further learn that it was the determination of the Governor of Curracoa, not to surrender the town to the British, but rather to bury himself in its ruins.
At the city of St. Domingo, general Ferrand was preparing to defend himself from an expected attack from Dessalines, the Black emperor.
Commercially Interesting.
The following Regulation of the Intendant General of the Island of Cuba, has been obligingly translated and handed to us, by a gentleman, to whom the public has been frequently indebted for his useful communications. The original has been left in our possession. In about two months time we shall probably see it announced from the Consul General at Philadelphia.
"Signior Don Rafael Roubaud, Intendant General of this Island, has determined, in a decree of the 28th June last, that the regulations pointed out in the manifest or ordinance, of the 8th February anterior, for the general Administration of the revenues of the marine, for the commerce of neutrals, receive the following addition.
The Consuls or Vice Consuls of the neutral ports from whence expeditions are made (and in the case of their being no Consuls resident therein, the persons authorised by the Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty) shall certify to the accounts or invoices, with the expression of the particular port of the island to which they are directed; with an individual relation of the number, weight, measure, quality & value of the kinds and effects comprehended in the cargo; under the intelligence or knowledge that whatsoever shall be discovered that was not included in the invoice, will be confiscated without any indulgence."
Havana, July 3, 1805.
The Hibernia, Capt. Done, arrived at Boston, spoke brig Telemachus on the 18th instant in a short passage from Leghorn, and was informed that the American gun boats had all arrived safe at Gibraltar.
We learn by Mr. Harrod, supercargo of the ship Hannah, arrived at Newburyport from Trieste and Gibraltar, that the United States schooner Enterprize captain Robertson, has been entirely rebuilt at Venice, and would be ready to sail for Syracuse the 10th May.
The U. S. frigate Boston captured a Tripolitan cruiser and retook two Neapolitan vessels, her prizes, and carried into Malta.
The Hannah brought dispatches for Government from our Mediterranean squadron.
Arrived, at quarantine, the sch'r Diana, from Luyando, in 30 days from Curracoa, and 18 days from the city of St. Domingo. The sch'r Periguin, Ingraham, of New-York, failed a few days before for St. Thomas; left no Americans; been as high as 30 dollars. Passengers, Mrs. Holtshoyen and son, and Moses Tefurum.

Jamaica papers to the 30th ult. were received yesterday, and furnish a few articles of intelligence. All apprehension of danger from the enemy had subsided, as on the 23d martial law expired and the militia were dismissed.
KINGSTON, June 15.
The American brig Ontario, from St. Domingo bound to New-York, with mahogany, fustic and hides, detained by La Seine frigate arrived on Saturday.
On Sunday last, 8 leagues to the southward of Cape Maize, the Lark, which carries 6 guns and 15 men, engaged and beat off a French privateer. The following particulars are extracted from her log-book.
"SUNDAY, June 9.
"At 5, A. M. discovered a small sail bearing from us N. W. with her larboard tacks on board, which proved to be an American trader. At 20 minutes past 6 saw another sail to the S. W. wearing every appearance of an enemy, by her crowding sail, and bearing right down on us; at 8 she hauled her wind, as I supposed in order to reconnoitre us and clear for action; at 12 minutes past 8 she bore up and stood for our weather quarter; at 9 she fired a gun and hoisted French colors at her main peak, she then being about two miles distant from us; from that period till half past nine she kept edging down upon us under a press of sail; at twenty minutes past 9 I hauled my courses up and prepared for battle, the enemy keeping up a constant fire during the latter period. Finding she intended to keep my quarter I ordered the main-top-sail to the mast, and, before she was aware of this manœuvre, I got her completely under the bearing of my guns, at which period the action commenced with a spirited and well directed fire on both sides; and continued with great warmth for an hour and twenty minutes, when the wind falling light, and the enemy getting closer to us, our larboard and grape began to tell upon her to some purpose; she immediately hauled close upon a wind, and got out seventeen sweeps of a side to pull clear of us, which she effected under a galling fire from our guns. She proved to be a schooner of amazing length with black sides, and a dirty looking yellow streak in the middle of the black, a lead colored bottom, and carrying two very blackish looking gaff top-sails. She mounted several guns of different calibres, but, in particular, two eighteen pounders, which threw shot at least half a mile to leeward of us. It was impossible to count her men, they stood so thick and crowded on her decks; she had, at the lowest calculation, not less than one hundred men."
The privateer about an hour afterwards, took possession of an American schooner supposed to be bound to this island.
June 22.
We are informed that earl Camden states in a letter to general Nugent, by the packet, that sickness had broken out among the French troops soon after their first sailing from Toulon, the mortality having been occasioned by the ships being too much crowded, and that on sailing a second time they only took on board 4800 men, instead of double the number; and earl Camden supposed Spanish vessels must have no doubt the same proportion of troops. Their loss by sickness we leave our readers to estimate.
The expedition for the West Indies, under sir Erye Coote, which may be

Montego Bay, June 24. In consequence of the following general order, the militia of this parish were dismissed last Sunday morning at 6 o'clock.
H. Q. Spanish Town, June 21, 1805. Martial law will expire on Saturday the 22d instant at twelve o'clock P. M.
His excellency the commander in chief cannot omit this opportunity of returning his best thanks to the general officers who have been in command of the militia, for the able assistance they have rendered him: and they will communicate to the officers, non commissioned officers and privates, his excellency's satisfaction at the alacrity with which they turned out for the defence of the country, and his approbation of their exemplary conduct while under arms.
The zeal and attention with which the commissioned officers appointed in the several parishes have promoted the public service, have been highly acceptable to the commander in chief, as well as the officers of the general staff of the militia, to whom he is so much indebted for their assistance during the period of martial law, will also accept his best thanks.
Signed, J. SHAND, Adjutant general. June 29.
The following is the charge which was preferred by captain Wood against admiral Duckworth, and of which he was most honorably acquitted.
"That he had been oppressively removed from the command of his majesty's ship Acafta , by vice admiral J. T. Duckworth, K. B. then commander in chief of his majesty's ships and vessels at Jamaica; and that the same vice admiral had, in the most shameful and scandalous manner, loaded, received on board, and suffered to be received on board his majesty's ship Acafta an immense quantity of goods and merchandise, other than for the use of the ship, in defiance and contrary to the true intent and meaning of the 18th article of war; and requesting as such proceedings were contrary and highly injurious to his majesty's service, oppressive to individuals, and unworthy the character of an officer, that the said vice admiral may be tried by a court martial, for the offences therein set forth."

Alexandria Daily Advertiser. TUESDAY, JULY 30.
A letter from Malta, of April 19, says preparations for the Tripoline expedition were then making with great activity. A vessel had been dispatched with military stores for the claimant of the balhawship, who was to be enabled to attempt to regain his rights, and was to attack Tripoli by land, while the American squadron bombarded from the sea. The united effort against the usurper, the present balhaw, was probably made in June.
Bowles Taken. —A letter from Benjamin Hawkins, dated at Och o po fau, on Coosfau river, the 30th of May, says, "The chiefs of the creek nation convened on the 20th at this place, and were joined by a deputation from the Cherokees, Chickasaws and Choctaws; on the 24th the Seminoles and other chiefs in opposition, with their leader, W. A. Bowles, at their head, arrived, and on the 28th he was apprehended, confined in irons, and sent under a strong guard of Indians, by order of the chiefs, to governor Folch, of Pensacola, to answer for his crimes against the subjects of his Catholic majesty in East and West Florida."

The recent accounts by Americans who have been at St. Domingo concerning the government of the blacks, does not present so flattering a picture as might be conceived from a consideration of the principles of their recent constitution. We have obtained a copy of their military code. This code and constitution lately published are said to be the prediction of general Mentor, formerly a deputy to the national convention, aided by Boifrond Tonnerre and Chanlatte, all blacks, who are the draughtsmen of the emperor Desfalines' proclamations. The biography of the black chiefs, if we can rely upon report, is a curious evidence of the inimitability of human affairs, and an important lesson to the vanity of man. "The first emperor of Hayti," is represented as being originally a sweeper of the government house at the Cape, general Christophe is said to have been butler to general Rochambeau the elder, during the American revolution; Vernet the minister of the finances was an handicraft man, some say a taylor; and it is stated that none of these chiefs can read or write; and the emperor himself is stated as very recently engaged in going over his ab, eb, ob, &c. under the tuition of his secretary Clerveaux. Generals Pétion and Giffard are said to have been silver-smiths; they are both mulattoes, and command the southern division; doubts are entertained of their fidelity to the imperial regime; and the same hatred which subsisted when Toussaint and ***** were prominent characters, has not subsided between the blacks and mulattoes.
The blacks are the most numerous, but the mulattoes are the most intelligent and best instructed, and compared with the blacks are more exemplary moralists, a quality described to be very rare in the empire. Contrary to what would seem to be dictated by every obligation of prudence and policy, the practical cultivators are said to be treated with inhumanity; and among that class we are told from very respectable authority, a very general and sincere wish prevails for the return of their ancient masters, or any masters rather than the present. The government of the blacks is not as full of confidence in its security or duration, as their constitution and rescripts would seem to indicate. Their military code is rigid and severe; and even flushed as they have been by the expulsion of Rochambeau, and the possession of all the ancient French ports and territory, they proved their want of discipline and courage before the walls of the city of St. Domingo, where their number were ten times greater than that of the force by which they were attacked. Above 2000 Spaniards taken by the blacks from time to time in the neighborhood of St. Domingo city, have been sent prisoners to the interior, and have been employed on the plains of Artibonite and on the fort of Camp Marchand whither the emperor contemplates to retire in the last resort of an attack of a French army or domestic insurgents. Under this condition of the island, the certainty of any state of things cannot be long calculated upon. The absence of the French armies, or the confinement of Ferrand's force to the city of St. Domingo, has contributed to revive cultivation for the time; and the crops of sugar promise to be very considerable—that of coffee unusually plentiful. Nevertheless the black government owes to the Americans who have had credulity to trust them, more than three millions of coffee, and have not good faith to pay. [Aurora.]
Letters from London mention, that Mrs. Eliza Bonaparte, wife of Jerome, receives every mark of attention and hospitality from the British nobility & people. She is attended by her brother, and Dr. Gavner, an eminent French physician—the same who accompanied her in her visit to this town last summer. We have no correct accounts of the fate of her husband, since he left Lisbon. It is not impossible, as a French officer, he will be tried for disobedience of orders in not returning to Europe, in the frigate sent out for him, and imprisoned. We have heard it said that before Mr. Livingston left Paris, one of the French ministry informed him that the Emperor had thoughts, as Jerome had connected himself with the daughter of an American merchant, of settling him in the United States, and requested Mr. L. to name what would be a proper establishment for him. Mr. Livingston accordingly named, we understand, fifty thousand dollars for a town, and twenty thousand dollars for a country house, per annum. This the emperor did not think too large; and Mr. Livingston was asked to mention the funds in which it would be most advantageous to invest the money.—The Louisiana stock was accordingly named. Soon after however Mr. L. was informed that Jerome having disobeyed the emperor's commands, and otherwise treated him with disrespect, he had determined to do nothing more for him—and thus the negotiation ended.

Selected from "Anecdotes gathered from conversations in the American States, by J. DAVIS." "When Mr. Jefferson travels from Washington to Monticello, he com-
monly baits at Centerville, and prefers a waggoners tavern, kept by a democrat, to the commodious inn of a federalist. The democratical landlord being once confined to his bed when the president stopped at his tavern the wife thus eloquently bewailed the event: "I am fir, (curtseying) extremely sorry my husband can't receive you, for he's a mighty Jefferson-man." [European Magazine, Aug. 1804.]
English prisoners in France. A very extraordinary and embarrassing dilemma has occurred to several respectable persons and families detained by the French government, as prisoners of war, at Veréun. Shortly after these unfortunate travellers were shut up in that town, they applied to the government for permission to erect or hire an edifice, for the use of a Protestant chapel, where they regularly attended divine service, and where various marriages have been celebrated, from some of which children have been born.—In consequence of these events, the state of much property in possession is affected in Great-Britain, and the persons in remainder contest the validity of these marriages upon the ground of their not having been performed according either to the law of England (the chapel not being consecrated, nor the clergymen ordained, or for some other legal defect) or to the laws of France. It is said to be the opinion of the highest civilians of the kingdom, that the pleas of those relatives and other advisers in reversion will prevail. [London paper.]

Attention to the following Facts:  A greater saving at the UNION CHEAP BREAD MANUFACTORY, it being the cheapest in America—opposite the market, in Royal-street—by WILLIAM LOVELL, who has been the largest and cheapest bread manufacturer in the world, and was regularly bred to the trade, and baked for many years in the city of London—eight hundred barrels of flour per week, in loaf bread, and was baker to his majesty king George and the prince of Wales.
He begs leave to return his sincere thanks to the ladies and gentlemen of this town, and the public in general, for the great encouragement he has received, and assures them that nothing on his part shall be wanting to ensure their future favors; at the same time will trouble the reader with a few remarks on baking of bread, as follows:—Bread baked on tin is like a sponge, and seldom turned from dough, and is injurious to young children. This kind of bread is seldom in the oven more than thirty minutes; and the bread baked on the hearth will not bake in less than ninety minutes—and will keep, if taken proper care of, five days longer than any bread baked as before stated—and that two ten cent loaves of sound baked bread will go further than three ninepenny loaves baked on tins. As such, will leave the public to judge of the baking, and which is the most wholesome.
The purpose it can answer is the baker only, who can weigh it less, and from the shortness of time in the oven, and being kept from the severe heat, and being on false bottom. The fact is, that the inhabitants of this town have been obliged to bake in their own defence, or be obliged to eat this kind of bread, which could never have been introduced only to save labor as above stated and spoil good flour. The bread baked in the last twelve weeks by the subscriber, has been a saving to the public of nine hundred and twenty-one dollars ninety cents, and he can say with truth double that sum in the consuming of the bread, and without injuring the health of the people of the town:—And he further begs leave to inform them, that he has introduced another kind of wholesome bread, made of one half rye, and one half wheat flour—the ten cent loaf to weigh twelve ounces more than the wheaten loaf of the same price—As follows is a table of the weight of his bread from the present affize and price of flour:
The 20 cent loaf will weigh 4lbs. 2 ounces. The 10 cent loaf 2lb. 1 ounce. The 5 cent loaf 1lb. and half an ounce—and the 3 penny loaf 13 ounces.
The public are advised, as a material saving in bread, not to eat it until the day after baked, as it is much wholesomer and a saving of 20 per cent; if kept in an earthen pot it will keep six days.
It has been the practice of this place for bread sellers to start up like mushrooms, bake a month or two, and leave off for want of knowledge and materials—a greater part of them not being brought up to the business and depend only on journeymen.
It is hoped this practice will not be supported, as no man of merit will stay in any town unless properly encouraged—as baking is a mystery which none can know but by real practice.
Mr. L. is happy to find that many families are convinced that his bread is cheaper than they can bake for themselves. This statement is cash, except where stated credits are agreed on, and then must be regularly paid, or the bread stopped; which will be painful to the subscriber—having no other mode of establishing punctual payments, as his profits are small.
M. B. A lad from 14 to 17 years old, wanted for any time, according to his age; who will be taught the art and mystery of baking in all its branches.

Polygraphick Painting. THIS art, so long kept a secret and exclusively practiced by the Polygraphick Society in London, is now in the possession of a Citizen of the United States lately arrived from Europe, who proposes to execute by subscription, two hundred copies from an original Allegorical Painting in the Shakespeare Gallery, New York, by permission of the Proprietor: being
A PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON, Supported by LIBERTY, VIRTUE, and JUSTICE. VIRTUE is holding the emblem of the reward he merited. In the right of the piece, AMERICA, characterized as an Ab-original, is seated in a pensive posture, lamenting her loss. In the left is PAINTING turned to HISTORY, for a subject worthy of her art, who is supposed to answer, "There is none more worthy than Washington." The whole forming a more emblematical tribute to the memory of that great man, than has yet been offered to the public. To those who esteem his public services and his private worth, and to the patrons of improvements in the fine arts, this work is dedicated. Such as are already furnished with different engravings on this subject, will, it is hoped, still find room for the present undertaking, when they consider; that it will be a PAINTING, and the design new, executed by a process, which renders it more durable than oil paintings—that it requires no glass—that while their prints contain, perhaps a faint resemblance only, this work affords a correct likeness, with the addition of six beautiful allegorical figures.—The price also is reduced so as to leave, comparative merits, no object. Subscriptions, at Eight Dollars each, payable on delivery, (which is little more than the price of an engraving of the same size) are received by Conrad & Co. Booksellers, Philadelphia; Robert Gray, Alexandria; Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol-hill City of Washington; and generally by Booksellers throughout the Union; who will please to return their Subscription papers to Conrad and Co. Philadelphia, previous to the first of November next, when the work will be ready for delivery. Frames will be procured, of any pattern, if required on the most moderate terms.
IT IS ALSO PROPOSED TO EXECUTE A PORTRAITS Of Mr. and Mrs. Washington, On a smaller scale, 15 inches by 12; executed by the same process, and will be ready for delivery at the same time, on subscriptions of Four Dollars and Fifty Cents each, including a Gilt Frame. It is a principal aim of this work, to produce the most correct likenesses of this amiable couple. One of the Paintings is now to be seen at Mr. Gadsby's Hotel, for a few days, who will receive subscriptions. As this copy is ordered to be sent to Richmond soon, another will be forwarded, if subscribers offer, to Robert Gray's, King street Alexandria, with whom subscribers may also enter their names. The Artist presumes that the secret art of Polygraphick Painting is known only to himself in the U. States; having travelled from the Carolinas to Massachusetts without finding a master of it. By this art, original paintings may be multiplied, so as to render it difficult to point out the difference. The Polygraphick picture, of the two, when compared together, is the most brilliant, and the nature of the process cannot fail rendering it more durable. In fine the whole is so exact and beautiful a copy, that the mind is lost in conjecture as to the method in which it is executed. July 3.

HEALTH-OFFICE. WHEREAS information has been given to the BOARD OF HEALTH, that malicious reports prevail in various quarters, of the existence of a malignant fever in the town of Alexandria; it has by them been deemed proper to counteract the prevalence of such unfounded rumors by a solemn declaration, that they are entirely false and groundless. In corroboration of which declaration, they hereto annex the certificate of the practicing Physicians of the town, from which it will appear, that our citizens are blessed with an unusual portion of health at this time. By order of the Board, CUTHBERT POWELL, Chairman, JOHN MUNCASTER, Sec'y. July 29. d3t
We the subscribers, practicing Physicians, in the town of Alexandria, do hereby certify, that there has been within our knowledge no case of yellow or other malignant fever in the town of Alexandria in the present season; and that the general health of the town far exceeds what is usual at this season of the year. Given under our hands 24th July, 1805. HENRY ROSE, Health officer of the post JAS. CRAIG, ELISHA C. DICK, JAMES GILLIES, JOHN RICHARDS, B. H. HALL, THOS. EMMES, W. A. DANGE FIELD. July 29. d3t  Recommendation. THOSE persons who have cellars or other places damp and foul, are earnestly solicited to have them immediately whitewashed and frequently ventilated by opening the doors or windows thereof; and this is recommended from a thorough conviction that such operations are healthful to those persons who are exposed to the air of those apartments at this and the approaching season of the year: Tis measure was adopted here last summer by a great many persons, and I was informed much to their comfort and satisfaction—and those house-keepers whose funds are too limited for expensive operations, may do what is here recommended, for the trifling sum of 25 cents and a little labor with a broom, as one peck of unslacked, well burned lime, will make white wash sufficient for a small cellar. A practice is too prevalent on Fridays and Saturdays every week, in several people, by bringing out and throwing in the street litter, dirt, &c. immediately after the sweepings have passed their dwellings: It is hoped that good sense and reflection, will preclude the necessity of noticing this habit in a way which may result in expense to those who continue to pursue it. I have of late observed, that too little attention is given by several persons to the gutters in the streets, which at this season ought to be kept constantly clean. I hope this hint will convince the negligent, that unless the law be better complied with than heretofore, duty will impose upon me the disagreeable task of endeavoring to enforce, by penalties, a compliance therewith. It is with regret that I have to notice another practice attended with considerable inconvenience to those, living near persons who (as if it was a duty imposed upon them by law) with great assistance breed musquitos in barrels, tubs and casks, containing water, &c. is and about their back yards. Of these citizens I with great humility solicit a suspension of this operation for at least thirty days from this date; and beg leave to say, that a compliance with this request will much oblige their Most obedient, Humble Servant, JOHN MANDEVILLE. 29th July. d3t
