dered also, that we have agreed to pay as much for
a small _part_ of the cession made at Fort Stanwix, as the _whole_
cession cost the crown, and at the same time be at the entire expence
of establishing and supporting the proposed new colony[7].

[7] The parliamentary grants for the civil establishment of the
provinces of Nova Scotia, Georgia, and East and West Florida,
amount to _one million twelve thousand eight hundred and
thirty-one pounds two shillings and eight-pence half-penny_, as
the following account shews;--and notwithstanding this vast
expence, the king has _not_ received any quit-rents from these
provinces. How different is the present proposition, for the
establishment of the Ohio colony?--In this case, the crown is to
be paid for the lands, (and which is the first instance of _any_
being sold in North America). Government is to be _exempted_ from
the _expence_ of supporting the colony, and the king will receive
his quit-rents, _neat and clear_ of all deductions, (which
deductions in the _old_ colonies are at least 20 per centum) as
will more particularly appear by a _state_ of the king's
quit-rents annexed hereto.

The parliamentary grants above-mentioned are as follow:

To Nova Scotia L. 707,320 19 7-1/4
To Georgia 214,610 3 1-1/4
To East Florida 45,400 0 0
To West Florida 45,400 0 0

The truth is, the inhabitants settled on this tract of country are in
so ungoverned and lawless a situation, that the very Indians themselves
complain of it; so that, if they are _not_ soon governed, an Indian war
will be the inevitable consequence. This, we presume, is evident both
from the correspondence of general Gage with the Earl of
Hillsborough;--and a speech of the chiefs of the _Delawares_,
_Munsies_, and _Mohickons_, living on the Ohio, to the governors of
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia; lately transmitted by the general
to his lordship.

In this speech these nations observe, that since the sale of the lands
to the king on the Ohio,--"_Great numbers more of your people_ have
come _over_ the great mountains and settled throughout this country,
and we are sorry to tell you, that several quarrels have happened
between your people and ours, _in which people have been killed on both
sides_, and that we now
