Fruitless Appeal to Holland for Assistance .--- The people were at once disheartened, discouraged and bugged for mercy, and appealed to the home government in Holland in the following remon- strance, or, rather, petition :

" RIGHT HONORABLE : We, your sorrowful commonutty and subjects, beg to represent with all humility, that having, beforehand, for our own vindication before God and man, in these sad and difficult circumstances, praturely considered and deliberately weighed what is necessary to be dune and concluded at this critical und urgent communeture, we cannot conscientiously foresee that any thing else is to be expected for this fort and city of Manhattans (as your Honors must be convinced) than misery, sorrow, conflagration, the dishonor uf women, murder of their children iu their cradlea, and, In a word, the absolute ruin and destruction of abunt fifteen hundred innocent, ouly two hundred and fifty of whom are capable of bearing arms, unless you be plowed to adjust matters accord- ing to the covjuncture of the time.

" Your hunun are, in the hist place, better aware that we that four of the English King's frigates are now lying in the road at Nyark, with sia hundrel weldior, not only ordered hither by his Majesty, but bearing also commissione to all the Governor of New England (a populous and thickly inhabited country) to impress troops, in addition to the forced already on board, for the purpose of reducing New Netherland to his Magrety'a obedience. In compliance with that commission, the English General hath sent divers letters to your Honors, summoning this city and Fort Slanbaltans, promising, in case we voluntarily submit that we shall not experience the last loss or damage, but, on the contrary, should we pr ve obstinate and hvadstrong, we must expert the aforesaid nnsering and misfortunes.

"Them threats would not at all have been regarded, could your honors or we, your petitioners, expect the smallest aid of success. But (find help. ns , whether we turn us for sustance to the north or to the south, to the enut ur to the west, 'tia all van : On all wides aro we encumpassed ;

and hemmed in by our enemies. If, on the other hand, we examine enr internal strength, alns ! it is feeble and impotent that, unless we ascribe the circumstances to the mercy of God, we cannot sufficiently express our astonishment that the fve should have granted us so long a reprieve, inas- much as he could have delivered us a prey and a plunder to the soldiery after one summons.

"We shall now examine your Honors' fortress. You know in your own conviences that it is incapable of making head three days against my powerful au enemy. Granting even that it could hold out and con- tend against its assailantsone, two, three, four, five or six months (which, to our sorrow it cannot), it is still undeniable that it cannot save the smallest portion of our entire city, our property and ( what is dearer to ns) our wives and children from total ruin, for, after considerably bloodshed, even the fort itself could not be preserved Wherefore, to prevent and arrest all the aforesaid misfortunes, we humbly, and in bitterness of heart, implore your Honors not to reject the conditions of so generous a foe, but to be pleased to meet him in the sprediest, best and most repu- table muammer. Otherwise (which God forbid) are we obliged, before God and the world, to protest against and call down on your Hooors the ven- geance of Heaven for all the innocent blood which shall be shed in cos- sequence of your llonors' obstinacy, inasmuch as the coannissioners have to -- day informed us that the aforesaid English General hus (stated and threatened that he shall not wait longer than this day.

" We trust your Honors will not question that to God, who weeks not the death of n sinner, belongs obedience, rather than to nmn. We feel certain, therefore, that your Honors will exhibit yourselves, in this pressing exigency nud sorrowful season, as men and Christians, and concinde, with Gud's help, an honorable and reasonable capitulation, which, may the Lord our God, in His great mercy, be pleased to grant ns ! Amen."

Capitulation of the Dutch .- This action of the lending citizens was followed. Aug. 27, 1664, by terms of capitulation, whereby the New Netherlands became subject to His Majesty of England. The terms of capitulation, comprising twenty-three sections, seem on the face of them to be fair and lenient towards the Dutch ; 1 and why should they not he ?

Charter to James, Duke of York .- This little episode was followed by a grant or charter from Charles HI. to his brother James, Duke of York, of the territory from the western side of the Connecticut River tu the eastern side of the Delaware River, including New York and New Jersey. In the same year James, Duke of York, by indenture of lease and release, granted and sold to John Lord Berkeley, Baron of Stratton, and Sir George Carteret, of Sul- trum, the territory of Nova Casarca, or New Jersey. Under their charter from the Duke of York, Berkeley and Carteret proceeded to establish civil government in New Jersey. For this purpose they had a consti- tution drawn up in England, entitled " The Conces- sions and Agreement of the Lord Proprietors of the Province of New Caesarea, or New Jersey, to and with all and every the Adventurers, and all such as shall settle or plant there." This instrument was engrossed on parchment, and signed by them on the 10th day of February, 1664. Philip Carteret was appointed Governor of the province, but did not arrive thither till August, 1665. In the mean time New Jersey was placed under the jurisdiction of Col. Richard Nicoll, Governor of New York. During the interval a legis- lative council or assembly convened at Elizabeth- town,2 on April 10, 1664. Bergen (now Hudson County) was represented in this assembly, the first ever convened in the province, by Englebert Steen- huysen and Herman Smeeman.3 This government was continued over the province of New Jersey until the establishment of separate proprietary gov- ernments after the division of East and West Jersey.

Carteret's Arrival and Reorganization of Courts. -Philip Carteret, soon after his arrival at Elizabeth- town as Governor, in Angust, 1665, reorganized the | themselves and the other freeholders of the town, court at Bergen, commissioning Capt. Nivola Var- let, who was made president, to "Constitute and appoint a court of judicature for the inhabitants of

Bergen, Gommonepaen, Alesymes and Hoboken to be held and kept as often as ou ston shall require in the aforesaid town of Bergen." This was the first court under the English rule. Herman Smceman and Casper Smyumus, of Bergen, and Ehas Micheels- sen, of Commumpaw, were apjaunted magistrates to sit in the courts as assistants.' This court bad a regis- ter or clerk to keep a record of all actions and a sergeant or State road, to execute all its acts and warrants. All writs and warrants were in the ninie of the King, and no appeal to the Governor and Conn- eil was allowed under the sum of ten pounds sterling. " And this," says the commission, "to continue till wed shall otherwise provide for the settlement of theme affairs, and no longer."

Bergen Rechartered .- A new charter was grantel to Bergen, Sept. 22, 1668, confirmatory of the rights as to land possessed by the " Frecholders and inhabi- tant= " under the Dutch charter of fish. Ital , con- tained some new provisions and privileges, and defined the boundaries of the township of Bergen as follows:

" The bouts and limits of the af nraid town and corte ration of Ber- gen is, to begin at the north end there f, from a place called Mordusis Meadow, lying upon the west side of Hudson's River, from hen " to run upon a northwest lin ., by a three-rail fon e, that is now stand' « tos place called E-patin, and from theniceet a . reek surrou ling north-north west, till it comes in+ Hackingick River; containing in breadth from the top of the bill one and a half miles, or one hundred and twenty chains. From thence it runs along sud Hackmusick River upon a month- west line, fill it comes to a point or neck of land that is r a ist Staten Island and Shooter's Island, in Arthur Pull Bay, Ontane in length about twelve miles. Frota thence to run eastward along the river called Kill Van Koll, that parts staten Island aml the manin, to a point or neck of land called Constables Point in Constalles Hook, And From thence to run up northward all along the bay up muto Hosen # River, till it comes to Mordavis Meadow afferrsand wi that the whole tract of upland and meadow property belonging to the jurislation of t1 mnil town and corporation of Bergen, is bounded at the north end by i tre l uf land belonging to Capt. Nicholas Varlet and Mr. Samuel Elmail on the east side by Hudson's River , on the south end by the hill Van holl, that parts Staten Island and the main ; and on the west side ty Arthur Cull Bay and Hackingck River. The whole, both upland, meadow and waste land, containing, according to the survey, eleven thousand five hundred aud twenty arres, English measure."

This charter granted the utmost liberty of con- science in matters of religion ; provided for a court of judicature for the trial of all causes actionable be- tween parties, as well as criminal causes ; made pro- vision also for the support of the church, and a free school for the education of its youth. Under this charter township government was maintained' until the 14th of January, in the twelfth year of the reign of Queen Anne (1714,) when a petition from Andrew Van Buskirk, Barrett Christian, Enoch Freeland, Rutt Van Horne, Hendrick Cuyper. Winder Deve- richs and John Deverichs, freeholders, in behalf of

setting forth the previous possession and enjoyments of their ancestors of divers lands, tenements and hereditaments and their exercise of divers privi- leges and immunities by virtue of the charter of

Sept. 22, 1668, and that many of the lands were lying undivided and were subject to great damage and waste of wood; and that by said charter sufficient authority was not given to prevent such damage, as well as for other purposes, and that, in consequence, relief was needed from the government. An aet was passed of that date. in the reign of Queen Anne, giving the petitioners a new charter as a township or body corporate, by the name of "The Trustees of the Freeholders, Inhabitants of the Township of Ber- gen," with more extensive power -.

Stuyvesant's Reasons for the Surrender.1 --

" TO THE HIGH AND MUNITY LORDS STATES-GENERAL OF THE I'NITED NETHERLANDS.

" Peter Stuyvesant, late Director-General in New Netherland, in the service of your High Mightiness and of the Honble Incorporated West India Company of this country, with humble reverence, represents that, after the violent invasion and conquest of the maid Proviure of New Netherland by the irresistible power of the English, the Petitioner, on repairing hither and arriving in these parts, hath comnminicated and made knowo circumstantially to the said Company, at its chamber at Amsterdam, the circumstances and state of said conquest, whereof he, the Petitioner, now exhibits herewith to you, 4ligh and Mighty, a Brief, True Arronnt, corroborated by divers' certificates aod proofs from which it clearly appears that lu, the Petitioner, all possible means to put him- golf in proper defense, but was necesitated to surrender said place through the unwillingness of the Militia, the protests and menares of the Burghers, the weakness of the Fort, the scarcity of provisions and monitions of war, and the small number of soldier -. . . .

Land Grants or Patents in Bergen Township. The following list comprises a few of the earlier patents for lands in what is now Hudson County. It would be a pleasure to ourselves, as well as of interest to the inhabitants of Hudson County, could we trace the ownerships down to the present day. But time and space both forbid us the pleasures of the enterprise ; therefore we must be content with the few following scraps gathered from various sources, but mainly from the archives of the New Jersey Histori- cal Society.

Other Ancient Settlements .- We will now notice some of the other settlers or settlements in the county. as well as Bergen town or township.

Communipaw, adjoining Jersey City on the south, was one of the earliest settlements on the west bank of the Hudson River. Its first settler, Jan Evertsen Bout, was there in 1634 as the agent for Michael Paauw, until the patroon sold to the West India Com- pany, when, about 1638, he rented the farm, which included all the upland between Communipaw Creek on the south and the meadow on the north. Bout afterwards received a patent for the farm as a gift from the West India Company.2

"Up to 16-13," says Winfield, "no settlement had been made north of Hoboken. At this place a farm house and brew-house had been built and a bouweric cleared and planted, Here Aert Teunissen Van Putten resided." Van Putten was the first white resident of Hoboken. He leased the farm Feb. 15, 1640, for twelve years from Jan. 1, 1641.ª

At Ahashmus was the family of Cornelius Van Vorst, deceased, at the head of which was Jacob Stoffelsen, who had married Van Vorst's willow,

At Paulus Hoeck was Abraham Laarsen Planck and his tenants, Gerrit Direkson Blauw, Clare Jan- sen Van Purmerendt, alias Jan Potagie, and Cornelius Arissen

At Jan De Laecher'- Hoeck, or Mill Creek Pont, as an under-tenant of Bout, resided Egbert Woutersen with his family.

On the bluff immediately in rear of Laven Point, and just where the Central Railroad crosses the Morris Canal, lived Dirck &treatmaker.

The peninsula of Paulus Hook, on which Jersey ('ity is now situated, belonged from a very remote period to the Van Vorst family. In 1804 it was vested in Cornelius Van Vorst.

In ITXJ, Mr. George Scott, in his book entitled " The Model of the Government of East Jersey," in speaking of this territory, says,-

"There are other plantations upon Hackensack It ver, which goes great way up the country, almont north-west ; others also on the east side of another creek or river at Hacketrack River.

"T. go back to the south part of Bergen Nock that is opjumite to Staten Island, where is but a narrow passage of water, which oble and hows Intweeen the man laland and Bergen Point, called l'onstable's Hook, ex- tending inland about a mille over from the bay on the east side of the neck that leads to New York, to that on the west that p. a to Hacken- sark and Snake Hill, the neck running up between both, from the with to the north of Hudson's River, to the ufmust extent of their hounds, It was first settled by Samuel Elsal, In Col. \ bul's tune, and by him woid for six hundred pounds."

Other small plantations along the Neck to the east are named. Among them one

" Belonging to George I'mpane itomonneepan), which Is over against New York where there is about forty familles, within which, almut the middle of the neck which is here about three miles over, stands the town of Urgen, which gives name w the heck Then again northward to the waters aide, going up Hudson's River, there lies out a point of land where is a plantation and a water (mill belonging to a merchant in New York.
