thereon depending in America, Chancellor, and Vice-Ad- miral in the same, &c.
Gentlemen of the Council, and Gentlemen of the General Assembly.
Having nothing in Command from the Crown, which required your immediate Attention, I deferred meeting you till this Time, in Hopes of having it in my Power, to acquaint you with the Resolutions of Parliament respect- ing a Paper Currency in America,-A Matter, I have Reason to believe, you have much at Heart, and of which it would therefore have afforded me great Pleasure to have been enabled to give you some satisfactory Intelligence. When the last Advices left England it was under Consid- eration, and probably before you rise we may learn the Event.
Agreeable to your Requests at the last Sessions, I trans- mitted to the Secretary of State your respective Addresses to His Majesty; and have now the Happiness of commun- icating to you a Letter I have since received from the Right Honourable the Earl of Shelburne, signifying His Majesty's most gracious Reception of those Addresses, and Approbation of the Behaviour of the Colony during the late Disturbances in America. To have our Conduct so happily approved by the best of Sovereigns, cannot fail of animating us in our future Endeavours to merit the Royal Favour.
Gentlemen of the General Assembly.
The Provision made at the last Sessions, for supplying such of the King's Troops as might come within this Colony, with Necessaries, has proved considerably defi- cient : I must therefore recommend it to you to discharge the Sums which have been advanced by the Treasurers and Barrack-Masters, on this Account; and to make Pro-

vision for the further Support of those Troops, in the Manner His Majesty expects. You will probably think it necessary, for the future, to place a greater Confidence, on these Occasions, in the proper Officers of Government (who have always manifested their Frugality and Oecon- omy with Regard to the Public) and not put them under the disagreeable Necessity of advancing Money at the Risque of their private Fortunes, or of applying for a Meeting of the Assembly on every new or unforseen Ap- plication from the General.
I must likewise recommend it to you, Gentlemen, to reward the Persons who were most active in apprehending the Villains lately executed for the Murder of the Oneida Indian in Sussex and the two Delaware Squaws in the County of Burlington. You will find by a Letter from Sir William Johnston, which I shall order to be laid before you, that these Instances of the Justice of our Province, are likely to be productive of the most beneficial Effects to the British Interest with the several Indian Nations on the Frontiers of this and the neighbouring Colonies.
Gentlemen of the Council and Gentlemen of the General Assembly.
Though the Season of the Year is somewhat advanced beyond the usual Time of your doing Business, yet I doubt not but a Continuance of that Harmony, which has subsisted among us, will enable you to dispatch, without Inconvenience to yourselves, all Matters of Importance which may come under your Consideration at this Meet- ing.

retaries of State, to His Excellency Governor FRANKLIN, referred to in the foregoing Speech.
SIR,
Whitehall, 13th September, 1766.
I HAVE laid before the King your Letter of the 19th of June, together with the addresses therein inclosed, from the Council, and from the As- sembly of New-Jersey, on Occasion of the Repeal of the late Stamp Act, which could not fail of being very agreeable to His Majesty His Majesty is greatly pleased with the dutiful and prudent Behaviour of His loyal Colony of New-Jersey, during the late Disturbances in America: And I have the Pleasure to acquaint you, Sir, of His Majesty's gracious Ap- probation of your Conduct.
The Ease and Honour of His Majesty's Government in America, will greatly depend on the Temper and Wisdom of those who are intrusted with the Administration there. A Conduct regulated by just and liberal Principles, suffering no Encroachment on the one Hand, on His Majesty's just and Lawful Prerogative, and, on the other, beholding, with Pleasure, the prudent and decent Exercise of that Freedom, which belongs to the People, cannot fail of engaging the Hearts of His Majesty's American Subjects, and of continuing in New-Jersey that dutiful Disposition towards His Majesty, and Confidence in Government, which you repre- sent, so much to its Honour, to have prevailed there.
I am, with Truth and Regard, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
SHELBURNE.
The Subscriber begs leave to inform the Public, that he has removed from Burlington to the City of Philadel- phia, in Almond-street, a few Doors from the Blue Bell, on Society-Hill, where he proposes to practice all Branches of Physic and Surgery. He undertakes particularly to cure, with small Expense and Pain to the Patient, Cancers and Wens, without cutting them, the King's Evil, venereal Disorders, without Sallivation; Rupture, Strangury and Stone; and as he has had great Experience and Success in all the above Diseases, he hopes, by the divine Blessing, to be able to give Relief to any distressed Persons, afflicted with them, that shall apply to him. He takes Patients into his House, and boards and lodges them, if desired.

On Sunday last, was perform'd at Newark, the opera- tion of Lithotomy, on a youth of about eight years of age, before several very eminent gentlemen in the practice of physick and surgery, by Mr. John Jones, one of the prin- cipal surgeons of this city.
