(Extract.)

* * That the Jerseys have been for a long time in confusion, having no Government, which makes them all heartily wish my Lord Cornbury's Commission for that province were come, that so they might be settled on a sure foundation, which as yet they never have been. The contests of West Jersey have always been betwixt the Quakers and her Majesty's subjects that are no Quakers. The Quakers though the far less in number have always been supported in the Government against the others over whom they have for many years insisted and tyrranized.

The contest in East Jersey is of a different nature, whether the County shall be a Scotch Settlement or an English Settlement. The Scotch have had for many years the advantage of a Scotch Governor, Colonel Hamilton. But it is the expectation of all that His Excellency My Lord Cornbury will reconcile all these differences-unite all interests, settle 'em on a sure foundation-make 'em all easy and happy; they have all a very great opinion and honour for his Lordshipp, which is a good stepp to that great worke

Right Honble Your Lordshipps
