Extract from the Votes of the General Assembly of the Province of New-Jersey.
HE House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House, on his Excellency's Speech, and after some Time spent therein, Mr. Speaker resumed the Chair, and T Mr. Hancock, Chairman of the Committee, reported, that the Com- mittee had gone through that Part of his Excellency's Speech respect- ing to his Majesty's Requisition of Men, to recruit the regular Forces, and directed him to report, that the raising of former Regiments in this War, and the great Number of Men already inlisted among the Regulars, out of this Province,

have so drained us both of Freemen and Servants, as to render Labour not only extremely scarce in general, but in many Places not to be had for Money: Under this Difficulty the Committee is of Opinion, that the Men now agreed to be raised in the Provincial Service, being the full Number required by his Majesty on that Account, is as many as there is any Probability of effecting; and it being impracticable to raise more, the Committee think, it would be deceiving his Majesty's General, to give him any Expectations of that Kind.
March 6, 1762.
A Message from his Excellency, by Mr. Secretary, as follows, viz.
I AM very sorry to see, by your Minutes of Yester- day, the Resolve you have gone into, with Regard to His Majesty's Requisition, for recruiting the regular Forces : Had you given due Attention to the Secretary of State's Letter, on this Subject, you would find this Piece of Service is thought so essentially necessary by His Majesty, that he will be much disappointed, if it is not effected.
The Intention of this Requisition, was to render the Regular Regiments compleat, and fit for such immediate Service as His Majesty may think proper to employ them in; those Regiments are at present so situated, as to make it impossible for them to send Officers and Parties into these Colonies, to recruit the Men in Time; wherefore the Proportioning the Number of Recruits wanted among the Colonies, and the Supplying them, is the only Method that can be taken to render them of Use; and if not agreed to by the Colonies, may be attended with very ill Conse- quences to His Majesty's Service, at a Juncture when every Means in our Power should be exerted, to distress

the Enemy. I must therefore desire, Gentlemen, that you take this Matter again under your Consideration, and do your Parts towards insuring Success, to Measures abso- lutely necessary for our future Quiet and Safety.

A Message from his Excellency, by Mr. Secretary. Gentlemen of the General Assembly;
HAVE this morning received a Letter from Sir I Jeffery Amherst; which I have ordered to be laid before you; and I shall be extremely glad, it may have such Weight with you, as to convince you, that His Maj- esty's last Requisition ought to be complied with.
JOSIAH HARDY
March 9, 1762.
ORDERED,
That Mr. Stevens and Mr. Hart, do wait upon his Ex- cellency, and in Answer to his Messages of the 6th and 8th Instant, inform him, That it is with great Reluctance we are obliged to refuse any Measure, that might tend to promote His Majesty's Service; but the Assistance re- quired from us, to recruit the regular Forces, appears so extremely unlikely to be carried into Execution, that we are well assured, it would be only trifling with the King's General, to attempt it; and by giving him such Expecta- tions, expose the Service to a Disappointment, that will end in a Prejudice to the common Cause, and to the Cen- sure of a General whose distinguished Services justly claim whatever could be reasonably done in his Favour : But the Case is such, that the peculiar Scarcity of Men in this Province, owing to former Services of the like kind, renders it impracticable; leaving this, and constantly going, Regiment after Regiment, into another Province.

very many of our Men have never returned; and the Handiness of our Situation for Inlistments hitherto among the Regulars, considered as a thoroughfare be- tween New-York and Philadelphia, have been an addi- tional Drain, and that perhaps more here than elsewhere; These Facts require no colouring to entitle us to an Ex- emption from raising more than what is required in the Province Service : Determined however, not to desert the common Cause, though our Debts, as well as the Scarcity of Men, are already great, we have fully come up to the King's Expectations on that Account; and for these Rea- sons, must rest it here, That that Measure is as much as we can do.
March 10, 1762.
A Message from his Excellency, by Mr. Secretary.
Mr. Speaker, his Excellency is in the Council-Chamber, and requires the Attendance of the House.
" Whereupon Mr. Speaker left the Chair, and with the House waited upon his Excellency, who was pleased to give his Assent to the following Bills, enacting the same, viz.
I. An Act to complete the New-Jersey Regiment to Six Hundred and Sixty-five effective Volunteers, Officers included.
2. An Act to impower the Church-Wardens and Ves- try-Men of St. Mary's Church in the City of Burlington, to raise by Lottery a Sum of Money for repairing the Church, Parsonage-House and Burying-Ground in said City.
3. An Act to impower the Managers of the Bound- Brook Bridge, in the County of Somerset, to raise by Lot- tery, a Sum of Money for rebuilding and compleating the said Bridge.
4. An Act for granting an additional Supply, for the
28

finishing the Secretary's office, at Burlington, and Perth- Amboy.
5. An Act to enable the Owners and Possessors of the Meadows lying on a Branch of Newton Creek, in the County of Gloucester, (commonly called the Back Creek ) to erect and maintain a Bank, Dam and other Water Works, across the said Creek, in order to prevent the Tide from overflowing the same, and to keep the former Water- Course of the said Creek open and clear.
6. An Act for continuing the Bridge over the Cedar Swamp Creek, in the County of Cape-May, and for ac- commodating the same with a sufficient Causeway.
7. An Act for naturalizing George Beck, Jacob Wig- more, and Stephen Sarich.
And then Mr. Speaker presented the Address of the House, in the following Words, viz.
To his Excellency JOSIAH HARDY, Esq; Captain Gen- eral and Commander in Chief in and over his Majesty's Province of Nova-Caesaria, or New-Jersey, and Terri- tories thereon depending in America, Chancellor and Vice-Admiral in the same, &c.
May it please your Excellency,
W E his Majesty's dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Representatives of the Province of New-Jersey, recollecting with Gratitude the Favours received, through his Majesty's Paternal Care over us, have now without Loss of Time, gone into the Measures proposed, for as- sisting the Common Cause, so far as to agree upon the raising of a Provisional Regiment of Six Hundred and Sixty-Six effective Men : After former Exertions of this Sort, we are sensible the Difficulties of raising them will be great; but from your Excellency's Abilities, that the Honour of the Government, in realizing the Expectations

1762]
they give, may suffer no Dimunition, and his Majesty's Service no Injury.
We have already informed your Excellency by Mes- sage, that it is with great Reluctance, we find our present peculiar Circumstance, respecting the Scarcity of Men, to lay us under the Necessity of not coming into the Requi- sition for recruiting the Regular Forces; and as we can- not go into both the Measures proposed, we have com- plied with the most important; that the Province under such Discouragements, is not able to go farther than rais- ing the Provisional Regiment, we hope the Reasons we have before given will evidence; and that our Necessi- ties will not subject us to any Loss of Reputation, in a Case, which throughout the preceding Campaigns, hath been pursued by this Province with invariable Zeal and Solicitude.
By Order of the House,
SAMUEL NEVILL, Speaker
To which his Excellency was pleased to make the fol- lowing Answer; whereby he prorogued the House.
Gentlemen of the General Assembly,
I Thank you for this Address, and for what you have done in Consequence of His Majesty's Requi- sition for the Provincial Regiment: I shall do every Thing in my Power to forward the raising the Men for this Service: I will not detain you any longer at this
- Season from your own Concerns; but prorogue this Gen- eral Assembly to Tuesday the 6th Day of April next, then to meet at Amboy, and they are prorogued accordingly, JOSIAH HARDY.
