The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

Messieurs EDES & GILL,

Please to give the following a Place in your Paper, which will oblige a Friend to Liberty.

As informers against Printers for publishing papers friendly to Liberty, are justly to be considered as enemies to freedom; it’s thought a particular description of the vile miscreant that lodged an information against Mr. Parker, Printer of the New-York Gazetteer, For printing the paper signed a Son of Liberty (for which Mr. M'Dougall is now unjustly confined in the common Goal of this City) will not be unacceptable to all the Friends of Liberty, and especially to the patriotic Printers on the Continent; as thereby they will know his person, and be premonished against his detestable perfidity. The sordid Harpy whose thirst for the filthy lucre of a reward disposes him, if he had power equal to the malignity of his heart, to enslave this dear Country, should be treated by the friends of it as a common enemy, such is M--ch--l C--mm--ns, a native of Cork, in the kingdom of Ireland, (who gave the above information.) He is about twenty years of age, five feet high, pretty square shouldered, has light brown Hair, smooth faced, knock knee'd, speaks with the Irish brogue accent; shines away with the reward of his wickedness in claret and white coloured clothes; and as that won't support him long in his present state idleness, he will doubtless soon decamp to some of the neighbouring Colonies for employment. It is therefore hoped that Printers who are friends to liberty, will treat him on application to them, as he deserves; and that they will reprint this description of him, for the information of the Public.

S. P.
