Hamilion, who feem likely to remain, orders being re- ceived to dilcharge the tranfports that were left for thémi | ' Reputation, as Religion and Cuflom bath injiin'd upon Since the departure of Gov. Ellis, the Lient. Gov. Wright, has had 25 headmen and 140 Creek Indians, awho all made the {trongeft profeflion ot Friend(hip, and went awey in very good temper. The General Affem- ‘bly of North Carolina, sre diffolved, and their tréops dilbanded. The Affembly had prefented a bill for continuing their forces and “augmenting them to 6do, “but had tack’d an agent to it, which had obliged the Governor to refule his aflent, and cccafion’d their diffo- lution. Letters from Georgia, fay, they are in great expeitation that Gov. Ellis will intercede with Gen. Ambherft, that the troops which may be fent for their prote&tion, may be provided with quarters, &=, at the .. expence of the Crown, the province being yet unable to fupport fuch & burden. That Gov. Wright gives the gresteft fatisfaltion imaginable ; and that as the terrors from the Creeks fubfide, the people begin again to look out fharp for vacant lands on the frontiers.” : Saturday laft his Excellency the Governor was pleas’d to prorogue the Grest and General Court or Aflembly - to Wednefday the 18.h of this Inft.

SIR, sppear at the fpecial Inftanee and Requeft of a Num- ber of my Sex, to wipe off the iijuricus Rufleétions caft on us by fome defigning Men in your late Papers; snd while I mzke a fhort Reply to their flafhy and ima- ginary Wir, I beg your Patronage, and defire your Cor- reftion of any Imperfcétions.—And give me Leave further to aflure you that neither my Conftituents, nor myfelf imagine, that you reslly countenance fo much Scurrility, but we view you in the fame Light asa Weapon wielded by the Hands of either Party. I think it derogatory to offer you any fuither Recommendation to inferc this Reply,as it is for the Honour and Reputa- tion of our Sex, sgainft fome sbufive infulting Men : .

As there is really no Merit in it, therefore it deferves to be defpis’d ; for if the Author by a Blaft of his finking Breath, could un- dermine the bafis of a divine Inftitute, every other vir- tsous A& would meet the fame Fate, and sll Things be reduced to their original Chaos,, every one doing what feemeth meet in his own Eyes. I flotter myfelf I cou!d Anfwer the whole Extre&t, and if I had bzen one of the other Sex, would certainly have attempted it if the Author had not already ex- haufted the Englith Language of its Indecency. How- ever, L can’t helptakingNotice of the firft Beginning,from ‘the Word Love, to the Word Species, is nothing but jingling Sentences, without any Tntelligence or Meaning. \ - "Allnin another Plece he fays, Placing like Rupid Idsla- s Divinity i a filly Creatare, Jest by toe infitutes of JERPRSTE oA Nature in o far infiricar Clafs of Perfiflion, to that whichgakes it bis Bufintfs to worfbip and adore : Confum- mde,'i‘ nfenfe | In another Place, mor are ber Daugh- ters futer of Foot, being unable o bear fo much of our “them : 1 conlefs 1 connot confute the Pofitions bere laid _,v?'l, reither arc they worthy to be regarded, but for the Filiterscy of them ; ont of snExcefls of goodManners -this obliging Author hath beftowed on us the civil Epi- thet of filly Creatures ; were the Men as much neg- le€ted, and as litle Care tsken to cultivate and improve them, they would be fo far fiom cxceeding thofe they row defpife, that they would fink into the greateft Stu- pidity, Ignorance asd Brutality.
