Mr. Parker,
Be pleased to insert the following Piece in your Paper, and you will oblige
Your humble Servant, Tom. Type.
The Parts acted by the Provinces of Massachusetts Bay, New Hampshire, Rhode-Island and Connecticut, are almost incredible: Every impartial Man must allow that the Success of his Majesty's Arms, to- gether with the ardent Desire they had of convinc- ing their Mother Country, that British Valour and Bravery, never should forsake the Sons of Britain, tho' removed to the remotest Corners of the Earth ; I say, these Colonies, by their past Actions as well as their present, fully prove that their own Interest is the least of their Motives ; and while the Name of Louisburg remains, New-England's martial Glory will stand recorded in the Book of Fame. -
The Province of New-Jersey have limitted their Number to 500, and no more; to these they have allow'd a handsom Bounty for their Encouragement ; and lest they should be imposed upon in the Disposi- tion of the Money given, have appointed twelve of their Assembly men Commissioners, because in the mul- titude of Council there is Safety; and they have been so anxious that their Provisions should be safely tran-

sported, that they allow 30l. per Ton, for that which is carried from New York for less than 10 : It was indeed a little surprizing, that most of these Commis- sioners, who were famed for starving the Administra- tion, or in their Cant Term, saving the Country's Money, should be so far over reached in paying such extravagant Rates for that service, when they might have had some of the same Vessels they had at New York at the same Price; but the Surprize soon ceased, when it was found one of these Commis- sioners had a Sloop of his own, and regulated the Hire of the rest by what he was determined to have for his, convinced that the Country's Money was no where so safe as in his own Pocket.

London July 24. His Majesty has been pleased to appoint Jonathan Belcher,1 Esq ; to be Governor of Nova Caesarea, or New-Jersey in America, in the Room of Lewis Morris, Esq ; deceased.

Whoever has a Mind to hire any of the said Houses may apply to the Widow Sarah Dow, living near said Houses at Second River, or to William Peek, in New-York, and agree accordingly.
1 Jonathan Belcher was born in 1682, at Cambridge, Mass., being the son of Andrew Belcher, a prominent Boston merchant. In 1729 he was appointed agent for New Eng- land at the Court of Great Britain, and on November 29 following was appointed Gov. ernor of Massachusetts and New Hampshire. He was superseded in 1741, when he returned to London, where he remained most of the time until his appointment as Governor of New Jersey. On his arrival in America he proceeded at once to his new government, and was sworn into office on August 10, 1747. He administered the affairs of his high office with great dignity, firmness and honesty of purpose, all of which did not prevent his having frequent altercations with the popular branch of the Legislature. He died at Elizabethtown, August 31, 1757, deeply regretted by the people The best sketch of his life is to be found in Hatfield's History of Elizabeth. See also N. J. Archives, VII,, 11, 12 ; XV., 513; XVII., 127-9.
