Intelligence having been received at Elizabeth-Town that two whale boats fully prepared and fitted for sea, were bound from New-York, on a cruize in the Delaware, a part of the detachment of continental troops stationed at that place, with such of the in- habitants volunteers as could readily be collected, went on Friday morning the twenty-first instant across Staten-Island, for the purpose of taking them. They succeeded to their wish, and brought up both boats, with seventeen prisoners, by the garrison and armed vessel in the Kills, without discovery. They prove to be the Ladies Delight, and the Victory, which have heretofore given no small annoyance to our river trade. Their stores and ammunition are on board, with every thing in perfect order for a cruize. One mounted two four pounders and eight swivels; and the other two fours and four swivels.

NEW JERSEY IN THE REVOLUTION.
[1782
From the New Jersey Gazette, Vol. V., No. 236, July 3. 1782.
STATE of NEW-JERSEY.
An Act for preventing an illicit trade and intercourse between the subjects of this state and the enemy.
| For this Act, passed JJune 24, 1782, see Statutes. 1
To every VIRTUOUS CITIZEN in the state of NEW-JERSEY.
IT is evident that our enemies, instead of abandoning their wicked purpose of enslaving us, have only altered the measures which they at first adopted, and have hitherto fruitlessly prosecuted, to accom- plish that abominable design. Finding by their own confession, that America cannot be reduced by force of arms, they have concerted a system of intrigue; and professing the most pacific disposition, en- deavour, by every effort in their power, to introduce their manu- factures among us. By this project, they expect at once to find em- ployment for their artifices in Europe, to drain us of our circulating specie, to re-attach us to England, to render the payment of taxes more burdensome to the people, to make us suspected by our ally, for throwing into their hands, those commercial advantages which are so justly due to the French, and to give the greatest discourage- ment to all honest and lawful commerce. For the prosecution of this plan, Sir Guy Carleton, (who might really have served their pur- pose of cajoling and deluding at the time when their blundering politicks called him from the scene of action to make room for a pack of unfeeling ruffians) is sent out to coax, to conciliate, and to effect by secret sap, what his predecessors have been found incapable of atchieving by open assault. This gentleman is to make a parade of all the virtues of humanity; to write complimentary letters to Congress, and to individual characters of influence amongst us. As an irrefragable proof of his resolution to carry on the war in the most honourable manner, he is to restrain a number of loyalists who have hitherto made a most brilliant figure under the banners of his Britannie Majesty, and by the immediate direction of the high-birthed nominal governor Franklin, he is to restrain them from --- horse- stealing. All this time our ports are most sedulously blocked up by the English cruizers, to prevent the importation of any French commodities; and every exertion is made use of by the enemy in New-York to deluge the continent with the manufactures of their nation. This trade at first arose from mere accident; and as the English were never famed for invention, though they have a tolerable knack at improvement, they did not even stumble upon this obvious expedient to embarrass our finances. But when pointed out to them by rascals in our own bosom it was warmly embraced, and pursued to considerable extent under the moonlight command of Sir Henry Clinton. The honour however, of carrying it to full perfection was, it seems, reserved for that great solar orb of pallavering emanations, which is lately risen in the horizon of Manhattan's, to eclipse all the

twinkling glowworm luminaries, that have hitherto preceded him. Ilis plan is known to be that of exhausting all our specie for the worthless bawbles and trinkets of Great-Britain to corrupt the pa- triotism of our citizens and to weaken the foundation of our publick credit ; and in order to tempt those execrable villains known by the name of LONDON-TRADERS with the highest possible allure- ments, to run every risque in carrying on this nefarious traffick, the national treasury of Great-Britain is at the devotion of the minis- try to enable their factors in New-York to sell the cheaper.
To check this pestilent trade which must otherwise reduce us to beggery and finally to slavery, the legislature of this state have at their last sitting enacted a law, that for vigour and efficacy greatly surpasses every former act upon the same subject. As there is how- ever reason to think that the magistrates will not be able, from the number of miscreants concerned and associated in the said diabol- ical commerce and their infinite arts to elude the justice of their country, fully to execute the law, it is thought necessary to have recourse to a more competent expedient. It is proposed that the virtuous whigs associate and form themselves into committees in every proper township or district, and especially near the lines, and the different ferries in the state, for the express purpose of carrying this salutary law into execution, upon which, next to the blessing of heaven, depend our political salvation and existence. It is recom- mended to those committees to keep regular accounts of the net pro- ceeds of every seizure they shall make, to pay out of them their own expenses, and the wages and rewards of such horsemen and others as they may find it necessary to employ for watching the different roads and avenues by which the ACCURSED THING is conveyed through this state; to examine all travellers for the passes required by law, and to search all carriages that can with the least probability be supposed to contain prohibited merchandize, to keep regular cor- respondence with each other -- to advertise in the news-papers the name of every scoundrel who shall be detected, that he may be trans- mitted to the latest posterity with everlasting and indelible infamy, as a monster in nature, preying upon the vitals of his own species, and enriching himself at the expence of the blood and treasure of thousands of his countrymen, by his instrumentality in protracting the war .- And it is in the last place recommended to such .com- mittees to appropriate either the whole or such part of the remain- ing monies arising from their seizures (after deducting all expenses) as shall be thought best, to the public use. Rouse then my dear countrymen, to repel the danger which threatens you. The most alarming, depend upon it, of any that has hung over us since the commencement of the war. For God's sake be aroused and exert yourselves like men : nor suffer to be reduced to bondage by a set of detestable speculators and traitors, a country that can not be sub- jugated by all the power of Great-Britain. Once more I say, rouse and be free.

NEW JERSEY IN THE REVOLUTION. |1782
P. S. To shew how agreeable the associations above recommended will be to Congress, I shall subjoin two resolutions of that august Assembly of the 21st. instant, viz.
Resolved, That it be and hereby is recommended to the Legisla- tures of the several states, to adopt the most efficacious measures for suppressing all traffick and illicit intercourse between their re- spective citizens and the enemy.
Resolved, That the Legislatures, or in case of their recess, the executives of the several states, be earnestly requested to impress, by every means in their power, or their respective citizens at large, the baneful consequences apprehended by Congress from a continuance of this illicit and infamous traffick, and the necessity of their co-operating with the publick measures by such united patriotic and rigilant exertions as will detect und bring to legal punishment those who shall hare been in any measure concerned therein.
