AMERICA.

Bofton, New-England, June 3, 1771.. Wednesday laft being the anniversary of the day appointed by the royal charter for the election of counsellors for this province, the great and general court or affembly met at Harvard college in Cambridge, in the morning; when the ufual oaths were administered to the gentlemen, who were returned to ferve as members of the honourable houfe of reprefentatives, who alfo, fubfcribed to the declaration the houfe then made choice of Mr. Samuel Adams for their clerk; after which they chofe the Hon. Thomas Cufhing, Efq. their fpeaker.

The houfe of reprefentatives, before they' proceeded to bufirefs, fent a meffage to the governor, with a renewal of their old complaint relative to their being obliged to affemble at Harvard college, Cambridge, inftead of the town-houfe in Bofton; to which the governor fent the following anfwer: "Gentlemen of the Houfe of Reprefentatives,

fenting to his majefty, by the firft veffels, the inconveniencies which you mention, in your meffage of yesterday to attend your fitting in any other place than the town of Boston. I am reftrained from holding the court there without his majefty's exprefs leave: I hope before another feffion to obtain this leave: I will endeavour that every obftacle may be removed, and, upon this and every other occafion, to convince you that I am defirous not merely of preferving to you the enjoyment of all your just rights and privileges, but of procuring every con veniencie fo far as shall confift with my duty to the king.

Camb. May 30, 1771. T. HUTCHINSON. Cambridge, July 4. This day his excellency the governor was pleafed to fend the following meffage to the house of reprefentatives.

Gentlemen of the House of Reprefentatives,

The Secretary has laid before me an engroffed bill intitled an act for apportioning and affeffing a tax of 15,000l. &c.

"Ifind that this bill is of the fame tenor with the acts which of late years have been annually paffed. by the general court. By virtue of thofe acts the affeffors in feveral towns have taxed the officers of the crown who have been refident in fuch towns for the profits which they receive from their commiffions, although their offices have no peculiar relation to this province. I doubt whether this could be the intent of the former acts, but as this conftruction has been put upon them, I cannot fign another act in the fame form, being exprefsly forbid by his majefty's 27th inftruction from giving my confent to fuch an act upon any pretence whatfoever. I cannot doubt of your being of the fame fentiment with me, that fuch a general claufe as is now in the bill, which impowers the affeffors to tax all commiffions of profit, needs fome qualification, and that it should extend no farther than to commif fions which peculiarly relate to this province, otherwife any of his majesty's fervants who may occafionally refide here for a fhort term may be taxed for the profit which they receive from their commiffions and places in Great Britain and every part of his majefty's dominions.

: Cambridge, July T. HUTCHINSON."

4, 1771.

The king's inftruction, mentioned in the governor's meffage, being read in the house, a Committee was appointed to prepare an anfwer to his excellency's meffage. In the afternoon the committee made a report, which was ordered to lie on the table till next morn ing; and on Friday July 5, the houfe unani.moufly agreed upon an anfwer, which was fent by a committee, in which the following are the principal paffages:"

"May it please your excellency, The houfe of reprefentatives have taken

into confideration your excellency's mefluge of this day.

The reafon you are pleased to affign for with-holding your affent to the tax-bill, iş furprizing and alarming.

We know of no commiffioners of his ma jefty's customs, nor of any revenue his majefty has a right to establish in North-America: we know and we feel, a tribute levied and extorted from thofe, who if they have property have a right to the abfolute difpofal of it.

As to the operation of law mentioned in your excellency's meffage, the law of this province, at least in this refpect, has rightly operated, as it ever ought: and we know of no reason, nor of any femblance of reafon why the commiffioners, their fuperior or fubordinate officers, who are equally protec ted with the other inhabitants, fhould be exempted from paying their full proportion of taxes for the fupport of government within this province.

The fame day it was unanimously agreed by both houfes that a remonstrance be sent to his excellency the governor, relative to his refufing to give his affent to the grants that have been made for their respective agents."

On Friday noon, the two houfes by his excellency's direction, gave their joint attendance at the town-houfe in Cambridge, when his excellency was pleafed to clofe the feffion of the general affembly with a speech, which concludes as follows:

"I fhall only obferve upon your message prefented me this day, in anfwer to my meffage to you of yesterday, that whatever may be the rights of the general affembly in maters of taxation, the crown has certainly referved to itself the prerogative of difallowing every law of what nature foever; and as the difallowance of a tax act, after it is in part executed, would caufe great perplexity, L think that his majesty's inftruction pointing out to you, through me his fervant, thale parts of your tax acts which he difapproves of, should be confidered as an inftance of his tendernefs and paternal regard to his fubjects, and that it is not liable to the leaft exception. I fhall tranfinit my meffage to this your extraordinary anfwer to be laid before his majefty.

Gentlemen of the council, and of the
House of Reprefentatives,

I have given my confent to the bills and votes which have passed the two-houtes this feffion, as far as I could confiftent with my duty to the king, and with the interest of the province.

Upon mature confideration of the grants made to William Bollan, Elq. and alfo to the executors of Dennys de Berdt, Efq. by the laft affembly, I refufed my confent. I cannot yet fee reafon to alter my fentiments, and the objections to my signing the grants

made

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

AND, Dantzick June 25. A Letter, dated May 27, from the frontiers of Poland, informs us, that the plague again manifested itself in two villages in Moldavia, but that they had put a stop to it, by burning the houses, moveables, and all the effects of the owners. We learn but of one more little village being infected, which is on the frontiers of Tartary, near Bender. This country will a long time feel the effects of the ravages made by the contagion of last autumn, which carried off fuch numbers of people. Prince Czartorifki, Palatin of Ruffia, loft near 30,000; Prince Lubomirski, Palatin of Bracklaw, 50,000; and Count Potocki, Palatin of Kiovia, above 80,000. The dearth of grain is exceffive in thofe cantons, and the great drought, occafioned by the want of rain this feafon, leaves little hope of a good harvest. We learn that Gen. Weiffman has met with a check near the Danube, but we have not received the particulars. GEMANY.

Hamburgh, July 19. This city is at prefent expofed to a melancholy fcene of dif trefs. All the beautiful and rich vale from hence to Lauenburgh is overflowed by an inundation

undation of the Elbe. The water already comes into one of the gates of the city; and the inhabitants are alarmed left it fhould break the Dam, which has been ftrengther.ed by feveral thousand facks of fand that feparate it from the Alfter. The waters have rifen from the 17th to yesterday morning 15 inches. The fenate held an extraordinary afembly, to confider of the means of preventing this mifchief: and came to the refolution of making three flopes in the great Dyke of the Elbe, that the waters might empty themselves into that river. The fuburbs, which extend themselves two English miles on that fide, with fine country houfes and gardens, are all under water, which is of fuch a height, that nothing is to be seen but the tops of the trees, and the great road which leads to Berlin is impaffable. We are by this deprived of all the fruits and with which this city fed to be fupplied from thence: and the lofs of the rich crops of corn, by which the people expected to be relieved from the dearnefs of it, is a melancholy event, of which bad confequences cannot but be apprehended. The damage the city has already fuftained, is computed at 200, ocol. fterling. A public faft is ordered on Sunday the 21th inftant on account of this calamity.

Hamburgh, Aug. 16. The waters are fallen 10 feet 11 inches: but by accounts from Magdebourgh of the height of the river there, we are apprehensive that, together with that and the continuance of the wefterly winds, the waters will rife again over the lands, which the magiftrates are labouring to frees from the inundation.

Vienna, July 23. The Auftrian troops have poffeffed themselves of all the palatinate of Cracow and the district of Sendomia, to the number of 234 villages and 15 towns. The pretext for this invafion is, that our court having fome old claims on this part of Poland, will not let it fuffer from the prefent troubles which defolate that kingdom; and therefore that it will protect its fubjects. during the prefent general combuftion, till, at the return of peace, it can make good its own rights. General Torrech, who commands our forces, as he extends his line, obliges all the nobility and peasants to take the oath of fidelity to their imperial majefties; and the reprefentations made to our court by fome Polish lords on this head, have proved ineffectual. The troops alfo of another German power are advancing on their fide. The end of all thefe movements will not long be a mystery to the public.

FRANCE.

Paris, July 26. The king, in order to leffen his expences, is going immediately to difcharge the Gendarmes, Carabiniers, and Grenadiers of France. If this reformation, takes place, it will reftore a great many, useful hands to agriculture. Query; might

not the precedent be as ufefully followed this fide of the water ?"

Paris, July 29. The Duke de Duras and the Pondicherry Eaft-Indiamen, are arrived from China at Fort L'Orient, after having been out 18 months. It is to be obferve ed, that this voyage was undertaken by pri vate perfons, 'at the head of whom was Mr. Rhote, formerly a director of the East-India company; and as there are the first ships that have been fent fince the fufpenfion of the company, it is fuppofed their voyage will prove very lucrative to the parties concerned.

Bezancon, Aug. 5. Yefterday at five o'clock in the morning, Mr. de Grofbois firft prefident of the parliament, received orders from the king, which banish him to his feat at Grofbois. In the evening the duke de Randan arrived here, preceded by 15 of the Marechauffee with Mr. Baftard, counsellor of ftate. This morning at four o'clock, all the members of parliament vre ceived Lettres de Cachet, enjoyning them to go to the palace at eight o'clock, to hear the king's orders; and when they went, Mr. Bastard read an edit for fuppreffing the parliament. Some of the members defired leave to deliberate, but they were forbid fo to do; and in the afternoon fresh Lettres de Cachet arrived, which exiled 35 of the members to different places. There are 20 or 25 who are not exiled, and who it is thought will compofe a new parliament.

ITALY.

Naples, June 29. His majesty, defirous to remedy the abufes which frequently attend too great liberty in the article of marriage, and inconveniencies of the former regulations on this point, has iffued an ordonnance, prohibiting his fubjects of whatever rank from marrying without the confent of their parents; the men till they have reached the 30th year, and the women their 25th. The clergy likewife are prohibited from performing the marriage ceremony contrary to this ordonnance, under pain of corporal punishment.

Continuance of the War between the Ruffians

and Turks."

Peterburgh, Aug. 11. "We have just received accounts, that Prince Dolgorucki, after having defeated 27000 Turks under the walls of Caffa, took that fortrefs, and made the Serafkier and a thousand men, prifoners; the reft of the garrifon, with the Abaffa Baffa, made their efcape in veffels. At the fame time the Turks left the fortress of fegnicale, and the caftle of Kertsch, which commands the entrance of the lake of Azof and the Black Sea. In the fortrefs were found feventy pieces of cannon, and a large magazine of provifions and arms. Prince Dolgorucki has now nothing further to do than to take the fortreis of Balacklaw, the ftrongcft in all the Crimea, to be matter of the whole peninfula,”

Peterburg,
