Letter from the Corporation of Albany to Colonel Guy Johnson. If he studies the welfare of his Country he need not be apprehensive of any injury to his person or property.

Letter from William Hooper, at Philadelphia, to Samuel Johnston, in North-Carolina. The strict secrecy which Congress enjoins upon its Members prevents his communicating any information of their Proceedings. The most perfect harmony subsists among its Members. The character of New-York is no longer suspicious; they take an active share in the
opposition. Government has sent them the Asia, Man-of-War, to give spirit to the Tories. North-Carolina will probably be called on for Money, and a Provincial Convention should be immediately called,
