Captain General, Governor and Commander in Chief, in and over His Majesty's Province of New-Jersey, and Territories thereon depending in America, Chancellor and Vice-Admiral in the same, &c.
Gentlemen of the COUNCIL, Mr. SPEAKER, and Gentlemen of the ASSEMBLY.
TT is with infinite Satisfaction that I embrace this first Opportunity of congratulating you upon the happy Termination of Hostilities with the Indians. By the wise Measures of His Majesty's General, and the judi-

cious, spirited Conduct of Col. BOUQUET, they have been reduced to accept the most humiliating Terms of Accom- modation. They were not only compelled to deliver up all their Prisoners, but even their own Children, born of white Women; and to give up a Number of their princi- pal Chiefs, to remain as Hostages, till they should send Deputies to Sir WILLIAM JOHNSON, to settle a Peace upon such further Terms as he should think necessary.
The Troops you enabled me to send into the Field, for the last Campaign, were of considerable Service: Their Behaviour, in every Respect, was such as did houour to the Province. The Guards placed on our Frontiers have likewise done their Duty, and the Inhabitants have been fully protected from the Incursions of the Enemy.
I have it in Charge from His Majesty to recommend to you the Facilitating the Conveyance of Letters, by the Posts, through this Province.1 A regular, safe and speedy Correspondence is of the utmost Importance to His Maj- esty's Service, and to the commercial Interest and gen- eral Convenience of his Subjects. It is therefore not to be doubted but the Legislatures of the several Colonies will readily and cheerfully promote the Establishment of Ferries, the Erection of Bridges, the Improvement of Roads, and whatever else may contribute to prevent De- lays and Interruptions to the Posts in passing. His Maj- esty's Deputy Post-masters General for the Northern Dis- trict of America, have given me Assurances, that if the Legislature of this Province will cause Bridges to be erected over Ancocus, and the Creek near the Barracks in this City, they will order the Posts to take that Route in their Way between New-York and Philadelphia; as the Communication will be thereby considerably shortened,

and rendered far more certain.1 The many Advantages to the Province in general, which will attend this Meas- ure, if carried into Execution, will, in my Opinion, greatly over-balance any inconveniences it may occasion. Indeed, all of the latter, which I have yet heard suggested, have been either imaginary, or such as are merely local, and might be easily obviated.
I have received from the Lords Commissioners for Trade and Plantations, an Order of His Majesty in Coun- cil, repealing the "Act for rendering void the Lottery inade by Peter Gordon, for the Sale of certain Lands in the County of Middlesex," Passed in the Time of your late Governor. Their Lordships' Reasons for proposing the Repeal of this Act, and for not laying before His Maj- esty an Act passed at the same Time, "for imposing a Duty upon the Importation of Negroes," will appear by an Extract of their Letter, which the Secretary will com- municate to you. 2
It would afford me, Gentlemen, the greatest pleasure to see the Inhabitants of this Province, now Peace is so happily established, turning their Attention to the Culti- vation and Production of such Articles as might serve for Remittances to the Mother Country; and which, at the same time that they tended to her Advantage, might prove beneficial to the Colony. For this Purpose, I would rec- ommend to you to grant a Bounty to encourage the Rais- ing of Hemp and Flax, and the Cutting of Plank and Timber, for Exportation to Great Britain. The Parlia- ment have already granted some Encouragement to the two first Articles, and the truly laudable Society for Arts,
1 Numerous acts were passed in 1765 and soon after, for improving the roads of the Province. See N. J. Archives, XVII., 408, 414; 406, 411, 415; 476, 478, 499; 476-7, 479-80, 482, 499; 477, 479, 481, 499, etc.
2 For the proceedings attending the passage of this act, see N. J. Archives, XVII., 247-50, 327, 331, 338. For proceedings relative to an- nulling the same, see N. J. Archives, IX., 446, 458, 487.
3 Such an act was promptly introduced and passed, in 1765; and the bounty was continued by an act passed in 1768. See N. J. Archives, XVII., 408, 414, 434; 471-2, 475, 498.

Manufacturers and Commerce, have shewn a Disposition to promote the others. They have, for that End, sent into several of the Colonies, Boxes containing Specimens of divers Sorts of Fir Timber, and Deals, which are im- ported into England from Riga and Norway, with a De- scription of the same, and the Prices they are sold at. One of these Boxes and Descriptions I have received, and shall order to be shewn to any of the Inhabitants of the Colony who may incline to see them. This you may depend on, that every Species of Timber has for many Years been rising in Price in Great-Britain; and that there is scarce any Thing wanting, to make a ready Vent for Oak, Fir, Pine, Cypress, and Cedar from America, but a Knowl- edge of the Scantlings wanted for each particular Use, and to cut for that Market good Wood, in the right Sea- son.
The Society before mentioned have likewise given handsome Premiums for the Encouragement of the Cul- ture of Silk, and the Making of Wines and Pot Ash in America; and as they might be produced in this Prov- ince (as appears by some Experiments made in the neighbouring Colonies) it might be worth your Enquiry, whether it would not be proper for the Legislature to grant such further Assistance as may be sufficient to incite the People to undertake the Production of those valuable Articles.
The Militia Law being near expired, it is necessary that you should take that Matter into your Consideration. A well regulated Militia is of the utmost Importance to the Security of the Inhabitants from foreign Invasions, and internal Commotions. Our Law for that Purpose has been generally complained of as defective in several ma- terial Points, but I hope this Session will produce one less liable to Objection.

Mr. SPEAKER, and Gentlemen of the ASSEMBLY,
Besides the due Support of His Majesty's Government, I have only to recommend that you would make Provision for the Pay owing to the Forces raised last Year, for the Time they were obliged to serve after the First Day of November.
Gentlemen of the COUNCIL, Mr. SPEAKER, and Gentlemen of the ASSEMBLY,
So many Benefits to the Public have resulted from a perfect Harmony subsisting between the different Branch- es of the Legislature in this Province, that I am convinced no Arguments are necessary to induce you to endeavour its Preservation and Continuance; I shall therefore only add my earnest Wishes that all your Consultations may be productive of the most happy Consequences to the Country.
