The humble ADDRESS of His MAJESTY's Council of the Province of NEW-JERSEY.
We His Majesty's Council for the Province of New- Jersey, congratulate your Excellency on your Appoint- ment to the Government of this Province, and on your safe Arrival in it.
The Knowledge your Excellency has of the People of this Province, renders it needless in us to give you any Assurances of our Hopes of your Happiness in your Gov- ernment : It is our Inclination, as well as our Duty, to render your Situation here agreeable to yourself, and your Administration useful to the Publick.
We most chearfully join in the general Joy on the Birth of the Prince of Wales, who we hope will inherit the Vir- tues, and live to enjoy the Crown, of his Ancestors.
The Termination of a long and expensive War, by a Peace, that will ever be glorious in the British Annals, cannot but excite our sincere Veneration for the Wisdom of His Majesty's Councils, as well as our utmost Grati- tude to Divine Providence, for so happily restoring Peace and Tranquility to the whole Christian World.
By Order of the Council

To which His EXCELLENCY was pleased to make the fol- lowing ANSWER
Gentlemen of the COUNCIL,
I ACCEPT with Thanks this obliging Address. As I have nothing more at Heart than to see this Province flourish- ing and happy under my Government, it cannot but give me particular Pleasure to find that I may expect the As- sistance of Gentlemen of your distinguished Abilities and Zeal for His Majesty's Service.
To His EXCELLENCY
WILLIAM FRANKLIN, Esq;
Captain General, and Governor in Chief, in and over His MAJESTY's Province of NEW-JERSEY, and Territories thereon depending, in America, Chancellor and Vice Ad- miral in the same &c.
The Humble ADDRESS of the Representatives of the said Province in General Assembly convened.
May it please your EXCELLENCY
We, His Majesty's dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Rep- resentatives of New-Jersey, in General Assembly con- vened, beg Leave to congratulate your Excellency on your Appointment to, and safe Arrival in, this Govern- ment.
Under the Disappointment of so unexpectedly and sud- denly parting with an Administration that, in Governor Hardy, was disinterested, candid and benevolent; it is a Matter of great Satisfaction, to behold in your Excellency a Successor, from whose Knowledge of our Circum- stances, and kind Approbation of our Conduct hitherto, we have reason to hope for a Continuation of every do- mestick and publick Happiness in the Power of a Gover- nor to bestow, consistent with the Trust reposed in him; and no other we presume will be looked for; not will any

Endeavours of ours be wanting, to render your Adminis- tration easy and happy. We acknowledge the Instance of Regard shewn to our private Affairs, in postponing the Meeting of the House to a Time of general Convenience; and having now the Pleasure of receiving your Excel- lency's Congratulations on the two important Events, the Birth of the Prince, and the Establishment of Peace, most heartily join in the Joy they occasion.
The general Advantages of the Peace are entirely to our Satisfaction, we believe, beyond Example, glorious. And when we consider the Difficulties attending the Neighbour- hood of Canada, and its Dependencies, the Terrors of their repeated Inroads and Encroachments from the Beginning ; but above all, the alarming savage Cruelties, we find our- selves unable to be sufficiently thankful for the Superin- tendency of that Part, which being so near us, falls more immediately within our own Observation, and are at a Loss which, under Providence, most to admire; the Wis- dom that planned, the Power that executed, or Firmness that retained a Conquest of such immense national Value, and which to us on the Continent also smooths the Hard- ships of a Country in a great Part Wilderness, and amidst the Struggles of heavy Debts, and a new Settlement, gives the cheering Hope of future Tranquility. Ages to come will rejoice in the happy Event; and we trust the Recom- pense to our Mother Country will prove unfailing Returns of Wealth and Gratitude, in a Manner not now easily fore- seen.
Considering the present Expence of living, we have augmented the Support of Government.
Such new Laws as were immediately wanted, have now been gone into; others, no Doubt, for the Improvement of Roads, Creeks and Rivers, and the Promotion of the Com- merce, may be wanted, and at proper Times will not fail

Mr. SPEAKER, and Gentlemen of the House of REPRE- SENTATIVES
It affords me great Pleasure to find that His Majesty's Appointment of me to this Government is so much to your Satisfaction
I return you many Thanks for your kind Congratula- tions; and do assure you, that whatever you have granted for the Support of Government shall, so far as relates to myself, be made use of for the Honor and Credit of the Province.
At a Convention of the CLERGY of the Church of Eng- land, at Perth-Amboy, in New-Jersey, the 3Ist of May, the following Address was presented, viz.
To His EXCELLENCY WILLIAM FRANKLIN, Esq;
Governor and Commander in Chief in and over His MAJESTY's Province of NEW-JERSEY, and Territories thereon depending, in America, Chancellor and Vice Ad- miral in the same.
May it please your EXCELLENCY,
We the Clergy of the Church of England, in the Prov- ince of New-Jersey, beg Leave to take this first Oppor- tunity, which our dispersed Situation has admitted of, to present to your Excellency our very sincere Congratula- tions on your Appointment to the Government of this Province, and on you and your Lady's safe Arrival amongst us.

As the Church of England has always distinguished itself by its Loyalty and Obedience to the civil Authority, we trust it will at all Times, be deemed worthy, in this Province, of the Esteem and Protection of His Majesty's Governors. This we have had the Happiness to experi- ence under several of your Excellency's Predecessors, and hope to enjoy under the Administration of a Gentleman, whose qualifications and Accomplishments for Govern- ment have been represented to us in so amiable a Light.
We therefore beg Leave to recommend the Church of England in this Province to your Excellency's Patronage, and to assure you that we will contribute, as far as our Influence extends, to render your Administration agree- able and happy.
Signed by Order of the Clergy, SAMUEL COOKE. 1
To which His EXCELLENCY was pleased to return the following ANSWER.
So very obliging an Address from Gentlemen of your respectable Character, merits my most sincere and hearty Thanks.
It is with Truth I can assure you, that were it not my Duty, it would nevertheless be my Inclination, not only to patronize and protect the Church of England in this Province, but to afford the Clergy of it every Assistance in my Power
