November 21. The commander in chief has direct ed me, in the most public manner, to declare his surprise and mortification, in difcovcring that some of then ~ ft rates with whom hare been depouted books for the pur pole of enabling the citizens of this diitri<£t to manifelt their attachment to their government, by taking tlie oath of allegiance, and sub scribing an affectation, as recommend ed in his address of the Bth instant, have afliimed the priviledge of anpex ing fees to their agency. This conduct ia so repugnant to the system he has ftreno.ifly endeavoured to establish, as well as so opposite to that spirit of af fection and kindness, which he is anxi ous to inculcate and diffii.e among the inhabitants, that he feels himfelf obli gated at oncc to flop the practice, and hereby requires all magistrates who will not officiate without fee or reward, to return the booklin their pofleflion, that they may be otherwise placed. Should ahy monies be oeceflaiily ex pended in printing the certificates to be given by them to the people who may comply with his recommendation, he conliders himfelf answerable for it, and will, on produ&ion of the accounts, discharge the fame.
