WALLKILL, (NEW-YORK) COMMITTEE.

Resolved, 1, That it is the opinion of this meeting, that we most heartily approve of the Association, and acquiesce in all the other measures entered into by the General Congress; and that we will use all prudent measures in our power to render the same effectual.

A certain Pamphlet entitled "Free Thoughts on the Resolves of the Congress," fee, under the signature of "A. W. Farmer," dated November 16, being then produced and publickly read, it was,

Resolved, 2. That it is replete with falsehoods, artfully calculated to impose upon the illiterate and unthinking, to frustrate the Resolves of the Congress, and to destroy the union so necessary for the preservation of our constitutional liberty, therefore,

Resolved, 3. That the said Pamphlet, in abhorrence and detestation of such infamous publications, be now burnt, and that the authors, publishers, and circulators of such performances be henceforth deemed enemies to their country.

Which Resolves being unanimously approved, the above Pamphlet was burnt accordingly.

Ordered, That the Resolves be printed.

LETTER FROM LONDON TO A GENTLEMAN OF NEW-YORK, DATED JANUARY 30, 1775.

From unquestionable authority I learn, that about a fortnight ago, despatches were sent from hence by a Sloop-of-War to General Gage, containing among other things, a Royal Proclamation, declaring the inhabitants of Massachusetts Bay, and some others in the different Colonies, actual Rebels; with a blank Commission to try and execute such of them as he can get hold of;—with this is sent a list of names, to be inserted in the Commission as he may judge expedient. I do not know them all, but Messrs. Samuel Adams, John Adams, Robert Treat Paine, and John Hancock, of Massachusetts Bay, John Dickinson of Philadelphia, Peyton Randolph of Virginia, and Henry Middleton of South Carolina, are particularly named, with many others. This black list, the General will no doubt keep to himself, and unfold it gradually, as he finds it convenient. Four Regiments from Ireland, one of them Light Dragoons, are under sailing orders for Boston, with several capital Ships-of-War from hence, and six Cutters, to obstruct the American trade, and prevent all European Goods from going there, particularly Arms and Ammunition, which makes it expedient without a moment's delay, to be provided with such things as you may want.

Last Friday night, the 27th instant, in a Privy Council, the American measures were all settled by the Ministry, part of them is to pass an Act of Parliament, inflicting pains and penalties on particular persons and Provinces in America, to countenance the infamous Proclamation and Commission already sent to General Gage; also it is determined to take away the Charters of Rhode-Island and Connecticut. I have not been able to learn the whole; though in general 1 am informed it is denouncing utter destruction to American Liberty. Depend upon all this to be fact.

RIDGEFIELD (CONNECTICUT) RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, application hath been made to the Selectmen of the Town of Ridgefield, in Connecticut Colony, by several of the Inhabitants of said Town, to call a special Town Meeting, in order to take into consideration the Resolutions entered into by the Continental Congress; and the Inhabitants being accordingly met on the 30th day of January, 1775,
