than censure for not affecting the service. The commendable endeavor of Congress to prevent these evils in future, and to make more comfortable provision for the Army, have been seconded by the Assembly in enacting Laws for prohibiting the importation of Beef, Pork, and Bacon for a limited time, and for authorizing seisures of such of those articles in the hands of engrossers as they shall refuse to sell to the Agents Commissaries or Contractors for moderate prices, to be estimated by appraisers; and also for restraining and regulating the Retailers of merchandize imported. Neither have the Assembly been inattentive to another important matter wisely recommended by Congress, to a establishment of such adequate and permanent funds for redeeming the paper money, and reducing the quantity of it in circulation as will preserve the credit and increase the value of it. They have made a considerable progress in that business, and we doubt not will soon perfect it so that with a concurrence of the confederates in similar measures, those very desireable and salutary effects will be produced. We likewise have it in charge to state to you the case of Capt. John Harris and Capt. Alexander Dick, that you may be pleased to lay it before Congress and intreat them to advert to it. These Gentlemen, deserving Officers in one of the armed Vessels of this Commonwealth, having been unfortunately captivated by the enemy, were carried to Great Britain, and, when their friends heard last from them were confined close prisoners in Gosport or some other goal, not only destitute of friends, wanting necessaries, suffering grevious hardships, and otherwise cruelly treated, but threatened with a prosecution for treason under the execrable act of Parliament made not long since. It is supposed Congress have it in their power and it is confidently hoped they need not be conjured, by a seasonable interposition to prevent, or by a just retribution to revenge, the wretched fate of worthy citizens. This subject seems to merit the animadversion of Congress the more, as probably many others are in the same circumstances as they are. We have the honour to be, for the general Assembly, <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sir, <br /><br />
