Providence, January 27th, I776.
SIR Last evening was favored with
yours by Mr.. Anthony, requesting the me-
mortal preferred by the Town of Newport
to the Honorable the Continental Congress
&c.
am TO inform you that cannot consent
TO deliver the original without an order from
the General Assembly, and am persuaded
that upon consideration, the Inhabitants will
be convinced of the great impropriety of
their application for it.
can scarcely think it possible that the
Town could have sent the memorial with
out preserving copy of it, or at least the
rough draught, which would answer every
intention with respect to IA farther applica-
ton to Congress. have, however, directed
the Secretary to make copy for you as
soon as may be, which he informs me will
be done this day, and will be delivered to
your Express if he will wait for it.
l am, with the sincerest and most hearty
regard for the welfare and honor of the
Town of Newport,
Sir, your most ob't humble servant,
NICHOLAS COOKE.

Head Quortlrs, 30th January, l776.
GENTLEMEN Whereas it may be ex-
pected for the particular benefit of the sick
and wounded, that sundry small supplies
beside what is expressly permiued by act of
Government, should be provided for the
Ministerial fleet in your harbor, this is there
fore particularly to point out how and in
what manner such supplies shall be granted; !;
wherever there is any demand of the like
kind expect you will present ME with a
particular memorandum of every article /;
the whole or so much as meets with appro-
baton, you will appoint some person TO
provide, and deliver the same to Mr.. George
irish, together with the memorandum have
approved, in order that Mr.. Irish may have
authority for what he delivers, and that the
said small stores be delivered so that they
may be sent with the Beef, and at no other
time. l am, gentlemen,
Your very humble servant,
WILLIAM WEST.

We havo had Il mind for some time 10 saw
something upon The important subject of
Editorial duty. MosI Conductors Of News
papers seem 10 think that the value of II, cir
Paper depends upon the quantity of mat
ter when is tnamd in tho Editorial column
Now this is, in our conception. n very
great mistake. II is no little vanity in an
Editor to believe that the productions of
no mans brains can please as well rs his
own. Withou, intending to break ground
against the very honorable fraternity of
which we arc an unworthy member, we
will express tho opinion. that an Editor is
seldom called upon to give his view. upou
any subject, hut that he can find it as well
or better done by others. There ,s some
thing also uncivil, in crowdng a neighbour
out 10 make room for ones self. ..Ge, thee
away, you cannot am,lse and instruct the
Public as well as l." It's no difficult mat, :.
ter for men to write. To scribble is as COM
mon passion as To guJbie. and Conductor,
OF Newspapers like other men too often but
minister TO their petty vanity Jy seeiuy
themselves in print. Lei not the reader sun
pose that we are dealing in small thrnps.-
The mere Orltine is hut small part of an
Editors labors. We must Judge him by
his tone and temper, by the selections " birh
he serves up, like so many dishes for ,le
palate OF his reader. Does he look TO the
great ends Of our being, TO the vital and
fundamental Interests Of society. or rather
IS he rushing ahead with blind fury, the
slave OF his own passions or the mere in
s'rument OF some "hig mani" When diff.
ierIns with his brethren does he give his
op'n'cns with Tho calm digui,y Of on iutel.
