NOW TO BE SOLD,
A Tract of very valuable Land, situate just be- low and within a Quarter of a Mile of New- Brunswick, containing between three and four Hundred Acres, extending above a Mile along Rariton River, which is a sufficient Natural Fence on that Side; there is some clear Land on the Premises, and a great Quantity of Timber and Wallnut Wood; a considerable Part of the Land will make good English Meadow and Pasturage, the rest is of a kind warm Soil, fit for Grain; along Rariton River lies between Twenty and Thirty Acres of rich fresh Meadow, capable of great improvement, it is mowed every Year and yields a great Burthen; a large Boat may lie close to the Bank of the Upland and load with Wood, Grain, or Quarry Stone; along the River next to New-Brunswick, the Land may be laid out into Lots for building of Wharffs and Ware- houses, one Wharff is already built by Messrs.

1 James Neilson and his brother, John Neilson, M. D., came from Bel- fast, Ireland, in 1730 or earlier, and settled at New Brunswick, where the former became a shipping merchant and ship owner, his vessels trading with Belfast, Lisbon, Madeira and the West India Islands. He was ap- pointed one of the Judges of the Middlesex county courts, in 1749, and again in 1768. In 1749 he was talked of as a candidate for the Assembly, but was never elected to that body. He was prominent in the early days of the Revolution. His partner in the shipping business was Rich- ard Gibbs. James Neilson was manifestly one of the leading men of his day in Middlesex county, occupying numerous positions of trust, and his store was the centre of a large trade and was a public resort for a wide region. He was the uncle of Col. John Neilson, who was dis- tinguished in the Revolution, and who had the honor to be counted a friend and acquaintance of Washington.

On Saturday last Paul Oubert was executed near Perth-Amboy, for the Murder of Francis Poquet. His Behaviour, we hear, both before, and at, his Execution, was morose and sullen, seeming ignorant of, and uncon- cerned about, his unhappy Condition. He refused the Assistance of a Protestant Divine; and when the Sher- iff told him, about One o'Clock, it was Time to move, he declared he would not stir till he had eat his Dinner, which was brought him, when he eat and drank heart- ily, and then went off without the least seeming Trouble or Terror on his Mind.

Burlington, November 3. On Thursday last His Ex- cellency Governor BOONE, made the following SPEECH to both Houses of Assembly,1 viz.
Gentlemen of the Council, and Gentlemen of the General Assembly.
A NIMATED with Zeal for His Majesty's Service, and affected with a most grateful Sense of his Royal Favour conferred upon me, I feel myself, Gentlemen, uncommonly happy, when I reflect that the Acknowledgment expected of me, the pleasing Return required for his Majesty's gra- cious Condescentions, is no other, than that I should promote, to the utmost of my Power, what the best of Sovereigns has most at Heart, the Happiness of his People. Your's Gentlemen, is now become my Duty and peculiar Concern; and the very Circumstance of my being till this Time a Stranger to you in your legis- lative Capacities, is an Argument of my having pre- ferred your Convenience to my own Inclination to meet you earlier.
I bring with me, Gentlemen, a Heart disposed to Har- mony; and though our Form of Government calls at all Times from those in my Sphere for a strenuous As- sertion of his Majesty's lawful Authority, yet whilst I have the Honour to be at the Head of this Province, you may depend, Gentlemen, upon your Rights and

Privileges being safe from every Violation and Infringe- ment.
I have nothing in particular from his Majesty's Min- isters to lay before you. But,
Gentlemen of the General Assembly,
The Support Bill has some Time since expired. You know, by the 23d Instruction1 already entered upon your Journals, what I am ordered to propose to you; you know also what is prescribed me with regard to the Disposal and issuing of Publick Money; nor can you be ignorant how grosly the late Method pursued, is a Deviation from the Principles of the Constitution. There never was a Reign, Gentlemen, when the Hands of Government might be strengthened with more Security to the People, nor ever Times more auspicious for receiving Confidence, and banishing Jealousy from your Bosoms. To Power well employed you owe your present Ease and Security ; so 2 that you owe the inoffen- sive Condition that a perfidious and once formidable Enemy is reduced to. Consult the Spirit of the Con- stitution, and yield to the Emotions of Gratitude, which his Majesty's parental Attention (so happily and effec- tually directed to the Preservation of every Thing dear to us) must have excited, and I shall indulge myself with the pleasing Hopes of my Administration's being ren- dered memorable by fresh Instances of your Affection, Fidelity, and Loyalty.
Gentlemen of the Council, and Gentlemen of the General Assembly,
After so fortunate a campaign, I cannot but wish you Joy on the strongest Probability of Peace and Affluence being secured to you by the Wisdom of his Majesty's

Councils, and the prudent and spirited Effects of his Arms. You have now little to dread from without, maintain therefore Tranquility within, and make a Re- turn to God for the Blessings vouchsafed you, by a char- itable and benevolent Behaviour to one another.
As to me, Gentlemen, I am urged by the strongest Incentives to interest myself in your Welfare; for from the Prosperity of the Province I shall derive publick Consideration, and from your good Opinion, my pri- vate Happiness.
