what we call our charter. This | chute
to call by more familiar name, Ripula-

of each party. This | alto call the saly

we can eaGiy juifify breach on our part.
If they act otherwife, think we fhould
properly prSVs it, and p0sUv is but a low

the idea Of parliamentary taxation inter

A MEXICAN INK-POWDER

4 n experienced and found to be equal,
il not hyperion to any imported. The ex-
cellent qualities of this powder are, that
it makes the beR black writing-ink, and
is very convenient for gentlemen, mer-
chants, attornies and Others that travel,
it being not cumberfome and liable othoie
mifchances that other ink is. The ink
may be made in large or fmall quantities,
as is mott convenient. As freezing is pre-
judicial to ink, when the weather is cold
this may be made with little brandy or
other fpirits not liable TO freeze. Cne
quality peculiar to this ink is, that though
the writing be expofed to extreme wet 1t
alters not, but will remain as long as the
paper endures. This powder decaYth
not by keeping. Note, the above pow
der has an ingredient IN it that prevents
ink from becoming thick and mouldy.
Any perfon by applying to ANN Nos-
TON, nearly oppofte the PoR-O&ce, in
Bsjqsz, or SAMUEL NoRTeE, the ma
ker, in Hizgtam, may be fuPPlied with a.
ny quantity of faid powder, as low BY ne

left favour in this way will be mof grste-
