New- York, May 28. We are informed from Brunswick, that a little before the Troops (now ar-

rived here) left that Place, several Gentlemen waited on the Commanding Officer, and paid their Compli- ments to him in the following Address.
The ADDRESS of sundry of the Magistrates, Free- holders, and Inhabitants of the City of New- Brunswick, in the Province of New-Jersey, to CHARLES PRESTON, Esq.,
Major of the 26th Regiment, and Commander in Chief of the Forces stationed in the Barracks of this Place ..
SIR,
PROMPTED by a pleasing Reflection on the Tran- quility we have enjoyed from the Harmony that has uniformly subsisted between the Inhabitants, and the Troops quartered in the Barracks here under your immediate Command, for now near three Years, we wait upon you in Order to express our unfeigned Satisfaction. We look upon it as our Duty, and we are confident we speak the Sentiments of the whole Inhabitants of this Place and Neighborhood, when we return you our most cordial thanks for the Humanity and Benevolence which have been manifest in every Part of your Conduct, as well as the laudable Dispo- sition you have constantly shewn to encourage that Harmony which has been productive of the utmost Peace and good Order, without the least Infringe- ment on our Rights and Privileges. Thus impressed, permit us, Sir, with our most sincere Wishes for your Honour and Happiness in future Life, to offer you this public Acknowledgment of our Regard and your Merit.

To which the Major returned the following ANSWER.
" Gentlemen,
I RETURN you my most sincere Thanks for the Honour you have done me, by your kind and oblig- ing Address and receive with the greatest Pleasure this public Testimony of your Approbation of my Conduct, and of the Behaviour of the Troops under my Command. Permit me to assure you, that the general good Disposition of the Inhabitants of this Place, has rendered any Efforts of my Part, to pre- serve a Friendship and Harmony between them and the Troops, entirely unnecessary, and will always claim my Gratitude and best Wishes for their Pros- . perity.
Afterwards the Major, together with other Officers quartered in this Place, at the' Request of the Gen- tlemen who presented the Address, dined with them at the White-hall Tavern, where a genteel Entertain- ment was provided.
It is very remarkable (says our Correspondent) that since the Arrival of the Troops in this Place, now within two Months of three Years, only two Men out of one Hundred and Sixty of which they consisted have died, one a natural Death, and an- other by Accident; and that during that Time up- wards of fifty Children have been born in the Bar- racks.
Friday last a Number of Transports, with the 29th Regiment on board, arrived here from Providence, and the next Day they sailed for the Jersies, where

they are to be quartered, in the Room of the 26th Regiment lately arrived here from that Colony.
THIS is to give Notice to all Manner of Persons indebted to the Estate of Dr. GILBERT TENNENT,1 of Monmouth County, in New-Jersey, deceased; that they speedily settle and pay off their Accounts to Capt. John Covenhoven of Middletown in the Coun- ty aforesaid, to prevent Trouble : And all those to whom the above Estate is indebted, either by Bond, Bill or Book, are requested to bring in their Ac- counts (properly attested) to Mr. Covenhoven afore . said, that they may be settled, and that before the First Day of October next ensuing the Date hereof, as after that Time no Accounts will be received.

tance between. He keeps two Setts of Horses, but drives all the Way himself, and sets out from Phila- delphia every Friday Morning, comes to Powles- Hook on Saturday Evening. And in order to go through with Dispatch, he would never chuse to carry above eight Passengers at a Time, though there might be Room for one or two more on Occasion. Goods will be carried proportionably to their Weight and Bulk. Those who incline to take Passage with him, should be over at Powles-Hook the Evening be- fore, as he purposes always to set out early.

Now this is to. give notice to the public, that I have purchased a mortgage on the said iron-works, prior to those for the payment of which they have been advertised to be sold, under which, and the possession and right by virtue of the said agreement, I do claim, and in- tend to hold the premises, until their agreement be made good, or my claims satisfied, for the monies I have laid out; which, according to the opinion of some of the best counsels in Pennsylvania and the Jerseys, I can well support.

NEW-JERSEY.
At a Meeting of the. Freeholders, Merchants, and Traders of the County of Essex, at Elizabeth- Town, on Tuesday the 5th of Fune, 1770.
W HEREAS the present critical State of public Affairs, loudly calls on every Member of the Community to use his utmost Influence in or- der to support the invaluable Liberties, handed down to him by his Ancestors: The Merchants, Traders and Freeholders, of the County of Essex, having se- riously considered the disinterested Efforts of the Merchants and Traders of the neighbouring Colon- ies, to save their sinking Country, by entering into an Agreement, not to import Goods from Great Brit- ain, until the Acts of Parliament, passed for the ex- press Purpose of raising a Revenue in the Colon- ies, should be totally repealed, which if continued, appears the most probable Means of accomplishing the valuable End so nobly designed. And it being represented to us, that some few Individuals in sev- eral of the neighbouring Colonies, from Motives in- consistent with, and injurious to the Common Cause of Liberty, in order to raise their own private For- tune, are using their Influence to break thro' this laudable and patriotic Agreement ; and which if vio- lated or broken thro', would forever hereafter dis- courage their Friends in Great Britain and else- where, from exerting themselves in our Behalf, or putting any Confidence in our most solemn Assur- ances : By which Means we shall be always consid- ered as a wavering, disunited people, and fit Sub-

jects for every Imposition. And as by this impor- tant Agreement of the Merchants only, they have themselves, plighted their Faith to the Public, that they would invariably adhere to the same, which has hitherto prevented other Branches of the Commun- ity from adopting Measures for the like salutary Purposes. Therefore as we now think it incumbent on every Individual to exert himself in supporting the Common Cause, have unanimously entered into the following Resolutions :
Ist. That the said Non-Importation Agreement appears to be founded on the truest Policy, and is a legal and constitutional Method of discovering our Sense of the several Acts of the British Parliament, passed for the express Purpose of raising a Reve-, nue in the Colonies as aforesaid ; and that those ad- hering thereto, are entitled to the Approbation and Thanks of every Freeholder in the Colonies.
2dly. Res. That as it appears that the Enemies of our happy Constitution in Great Britain, have pre- vented the full Effect of the said patriotic Agree- ment, by industriously propagating a mistaken Opin- ion of a Disunion in the Colonies, with Respect to the said Agreement ; and an Incapacity, as well as want of Firmness in supporting so self-denying a Scheme, and having prevailed on the Manufacturing Towns to withhold their Interest, and suspend their Clamours, assuring them, that in Case those Impo- sitions could be continued another Year, that we should be obliged to discontinue this necessary Meas- ure, and thereby be ever afterwards exposed to their unreasonable Restrictions and Impositions. We do
I71

1770]
therefore unanimously agree to make known our Sentiments, that the said Agreement should be firm- ly adhered to, until the said Acts of Parliament be totally repealed.
3dly. Res. That we will do every Thing in our Power to carry into farther Execution so generous a Plan.
4th. Res. That we will not ourselves or by others, receive, purchase, sell or otherwise use, any of the Manufactures or Merchandize imported from Great Britain, contrary to said Agreement; and that we will not trade or have any commercial Intercourse with such Persons, who shall import Goods, or Cause them to be imported or with any Person who shall purchase Goods or other Merchandize so imported, but that we will use every lawful Means in our Power, to hinder the Sale of such Goods in any Way whatsoever.
5th. Res. That we are determined, that we will at all Times, be ready to join in any Measures that shall be entered into by the Colonies in general, to carry the Design of said Agreement into the fullest 1 Execution ; or if necessary to render the Inconven- iences occasioned thereby to Individuals, more equal and tolerable.
6th, Res. That we do highly approve and applaud the spirited Behaviour of our Boston, New York and Philadelphia Brethren, in renouncing all Commerce and Intercourse with the Traders and Inhabitants of Newport in Rhode-Island, who have so perfidiously deserted them in this glorious Struggle : And we do agree to observe the same Rules of Conduct, they
172
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1770
have so properly adopted, with respect to the said Traders and Inhabitants of Newport.
7th. Res. That we are well convinced that these are the general Sentiments of all the Freeholders and Inhabitants of this Province ; and we will read- ily concur with them in any farther Measures they may propose, for the Support of an Agreement, upon which the Preservation of the Liberties of America so essentially depend.
8th. Res. And lastly, that we will at all Times, do every Thing in our Power to preserve good Order and Decorum in this Province, and to strengthen the Hands of Government, agreeable to our invaluable Constitution.

In consequence of a letter from the committee of merchants in Philadelphia, to the committee of mer- chants in this town, brought by express last Tues- day evening, desiring to know the sense of our mer- chants, traders, &c. respecting the non-importation agreement, - - - a meeting was called the day following at Faneuil Hall, and after full and fair debates upon the subject matter of said let- ter - - - it was VOTED almost unanimously, That we would still strictly adhere to the non-impor- tation agreement, entered into the 19th of October last, not to import goods from Great Britain, till the act laying duties on tea, paper, glass, colours, &c. is totally repealed - - -
VOTED, as the sense of this body, that the conduct of said persons betrays a contempt of all the senti- ments of faith, truth, sincerity and honour ; as well as a total insensibility to the interest and liberties of their country and posterity. And we rely upon the public spirit and virtue of the inhabitants of Salem, Nantucket, and other trading and fishing towns in this province ; as also of the provinces and colonies of Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersies, Philadelphia, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, &c. that they will heartily concur with us in this resolu- tion, . . . - Pennsylvania Journal, No. 1435, Fune 7,1770.
