TO THE STATED PILOTS
OF THE
PORT of NEW-YORK, and all others whom it may con- cern; GENTLEMEN,
WE need not inform you, that the ship is hourly ex- pected with the tea from England, which, if landed here, will entail slavery on this colony, and ruin its commerce. No class of men are more interested in the last than you; nor none have it more in their power to prevent the intro- duction of that which the tyrannical Ministry intend as the badge of our slavery. You are, therefore, called upon to give the first obstruction. The ship cannot enter this port, unless you direct her. Acquit yourselves in this, as become free men and friends to commerce. Much de- pends on your conduct in this interesting crisis; no less, than whether you and your posterity shall be free men or slaves-Whether you and they shall have property, or be beggars. You have had many proofs of the disapproba- tion of your fellow citizens to the importation of any article, subject to a duty by the British Parliament, for the purpose of raising a revenue in America. And it is not many days since you have had a very recent one. You have therefore nothing to fear from doing your duty to your country. The merchants and all the inhabitants, friends to liberty, are concerned in your giving the ob- struction, and will support you. We cannot therefore doubt, but these are sufficient motives to induce you to demonstrate to all the world, that you will not have the least agency in the destruction of your country. But if, contrary to our just expectations, any of you should be so lost to all sense of obligation to your country, as not to follow the directions hereafter mentioned, the ven-

geance of a free people, struggling for their liberties, await and will surely be executed upon you. Should you be told, that the Wardens will remove any of you who may refuse to pilot the ship into this port, or prosecute your bonds; they dare not do either, for they are within the reach of the same vengeance, and therefore will not hazard their own safety; so that you are secure in the approbation of your countrymen, and it is the best and only security any man can have.
Whenever you board a vessel, enquire carelessly of the sailors, where she is from, and if from London, whether she has any tea on board; for the Captain of the tea ship may conceal it from you. If the sailors were not on board at the loading of her, and cannot inform you, en- quire of the Captain. If he is unwilling to tell you, rest assured the tea is there. In this case, or your being in- formed, that the tea is on board, bring her to anchor in Sandy-Hook Bay, and no farther, where she may be sup- plied with any provisions, or other articles she may want for her return. Upon her anchoring, quit her immedi- ately, and make the best of your way to this city, and in- form the citizens of her arrival. You should be provided with a red flag to hoist as a signal to the other Pilots, whenever you discover her to be the tea ship, in order that they may keep clear of her after you quit her.
Let every pilot possess himself with a copy of this for his government.

W HEREAS the inhabitants of a certain village, situate at Passaick -- River, on the main road that leads from Elizabeth-Town to Morris-Town, found themselves under a considerable disadvantage from the place's not having a particular name, as the river runs through the country 40 or 50 miles, and letters directed to persons at Passaick River only, would be sometimes carried above and sometimes below them; upon which the principal freeholders and inhabitants assembled to- gether on Friday, the 19th inst. and unanimously agreed to call it CHATHAM; and all persons that should here- after direct letters, or any thing else to any person living at or near the above place, are desired to direct at Chat- ham, on Passaick River.

Perth-Amboy, by his Excellency General Haldimand, commanding in Chief, attended by the Gentlemen of the Staff. The appearance of the officers and men induced the spectators to consider them as the sons of those vet- erans that composed the battalion whose firmness and discipline, animated by the immortal Wolfe, was so emi- nently distinguished in the late war.
On Monday night died, in an advanced age, at Perth- Amboy, Dr. Lewis Johnston, a physician of the highest reputation, and greatly beloved by all who knew him.
About 4 o'clock on Thursday morning the 18th inst. a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Hugh Taylor, of Cranbury, in Monmouth County, New-Jersey, who kept the noted tavern known by the name of Campbell's Tavern, occasioned as is supposed by an oven that stood in the kitchen, which had been used the evening before. The house, which cost Mr. Campbell 5001. about seven years since, is entirely consumed, with the greatest part of the furniture. Mr. Taylor and his wife narrowly es- caped the flames, having been late up the preceding night, never awoke until the door of the house was burst open, and alarmed of their danger by Mrs. Campbell, one of their neighbours, who came to their assistance.

Gentlemen of the Council, and Gentlemen of the General Assembly,
A Discovery was made some Time in the Beginning of last Summer of a Number of Persons in the Coun- ties of Middlesex and Monmouth, concerned in making a base Kind of Half Johannes and Spanish Dollars, which happily led to the Discovery of another Gang of Villains in the Counties of Morris and Sussex, who had for several Years past been employed in counterfeiting and passing the Paper Currency of this and the neigh- bouring Colonies. From the Confessions of some of them, corroborated by many striking Circumstances, the Affair of the Robbery of the Treasury, which had re- mained so long enveloped in Darkness, has likewise been brought to Light .- Unluckily some of the Gang have made their Escape out of the Province; but all of the former who were apprehended, and one of the Chief of the latter have received their Punishment for their Crimes which the Law would permit. Three others, who were sentenced to Death, have been respited, for very particular Reasons, as you will see by the Papers I shall order to be laid before you. No Endeavours have been, or shall be wanting on my Part, to have those who es- caped, apprehended and brought to Justice.
As the Mischief in which these Persons were engaged is of such extensive and pernicious a Nature, I cannot but congratulate you upon the Stop which has been put to its further Progress : Nor can I doubt but you will think with me, that the Thanks and grateful Acknowledgments of the Public are due to those Gentlemen who have with great Zeal and Abilities, and with considerable Trouble and Expence, been the Means of detecting and appre- hending the Authors of it.
On this Occasion, I think it proper to recommend to
121

you the passing of a Law to make it Felony to counter- feit in this Province the Silver and Gold Coins of foreign Countries. Many of them have now so general a Circu- lation here, that the Mischiefs resulting from their being counterfeited may be as destructive as the counterfeiting of our own Paper Currency.
