ExtraS1 Of a letter frsm NfV-9Srk, <at'S
Novsmbr 3, 1878.
&c have this day been informed BY gooc
authority, thar the Eaft Isdia company, iuf-
peefing that the words 10 the aa-dijsb0ryfd
them from the payment Of cay eaif"m' 0" d.
tie, s0botsvU-would extend to exempung
their tea, in fuch cafes, from the America"
duty, have taken the opinion Of the Attorney
and Solicitor General, &c. and find. tia
tho American duty being only chargeabe on
lea when imported into America, was by no
means inc uded in the duties, with which u
IS charged, when exported from England, OF
fold at their ware houfes in London. Ihi
was great disappointment to lAeir hopes,
as they luGpeaed that the Americans would
not buy it, even though they fent it to thar
very doors, on fuch tstns. IL is therefore
affirmed, in leverai lerers from gentlemen
fc,edit in London, that Lord North ha.
feed gliding for the pill, By which "
hal certainly find it very Palatable, w
He propoies that the company ihall isnd
,heir tea to America giving fecuri'y for The
payment of the duties, and that the teas ae
% be landed here, and the proper off1ceFs
to return certificates Of the quantity, &c. e.
England on which the duties arc to be
paid there BY the company, into the treafu
ry, whence il is to be RENTED, BY an esiy
rotation, to ths commfiioners at Bolton, to
oe paid out to their creatures, who are 70
luck the blood of the people, who are to
drink this fame undudsd and yet dutied tea.
! Il fems thar the duty, in NoIth-Carolina,
has been paid, for Tome years paft, IL this
2;ry manner nearly, viz. by draugh's attend.
ne proper certificates ient to England, be-
caufe il was found that cath was not to be
. obtained ir that province, to pay the duties
,here.-Thus the duty is absolutely to be
paid in America, for the purpofc Of rating
revenue, TO fupport improper officers IL A.
merics, only the method of negotiating this
buGneis is a little different, from the ufual
one. Are the Americans fuch blockheads
as TO care whether it be hot red poker, or
red hot poker which they are to fwa.loW,
provided Lord North forces them 10 fwal
iow one of the two. If the matter be duly
explained, furely the people will unanimouf-
ly agree to leud the tea TO the place from
whence It came, or TO a worfe place"
