Those who have been discovered are Tru man Harrifoa, Joseph Witcomb, fa id now to rc fide in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and several otheri who go under fi&itious names. It is supposed that the lauds offered frr fa Won thofejFa bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thoufaud dollars. Such as we have afiual knowledge of are as follows': Lots No. II and 11, ©tfegs patent, thousand acres each, the aAual property of William Dellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64, fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and lames AveriU and others, »i this State. There is Tome grounds to fuppofc that the lauds of Richard WelU and Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their management.—The Printers will do well to give this a place in their papers, as well to caution the public against purchaling those lands, as also to de prive those men in future from imposing on indivl du&fs, which their education and aildrefs have en abled them to do heretofore.
