NEW-YORK, September 15.
On Friday last, Numbers of the following CARDS were distributed about this City.
A CARD.
New York, Sept. 9, 1774.
The Thanks of the Public are presented to those worthy Citizens, who have to their immortal Honor, nobly refused to let their Vessels for the base Purpose of transporting Troops, Ammunition, &c. to oppress the brave Defenders of American Liberty, who are already suffering in the common Cause. Such patriotic Conduct merits Applause, as much as contrary one would the Contempt and Indignation of every generous Mind.
Yesterday Evening Numbers of the following Hand Bills were distributed about this City:
To THE PUBLIC.
As the Merchants of this City have so nobly refused letting their Vessels to the Tools of Government or the base Purpose of transporting Troops and military Stores to Boston, for enforcing the cruel and arbitrary Edicts of a corrupt Ministry, on that virtuous People now suffering in the glorious Cause of American Freedom, it is therefore hoped no Pilot will be found so lost to all Sense of Duty to this Country, as to aid in that detestable Work. Mr. Frances Post inadvertently engaged to make some Chests for the Transportation of Arms; and Mr. Jonathan Hampton, in like Manner, undertook to contract with House Carpenters, for the Purpose (as is supposed) of building Barracks at Boston: but when their Fellow-Citizens represented to them the Tendency of their Conduct, they immediately declined the abominable Service. After these laudable Examples of the Merchants and Tradesmen of this City, there is no Doubt but their patriotic Conduct will be followed by all their Fellow Citizens. But notwithstanding, should any sordid Mercenary be found amongst us, who will aid the Enemies of this Country to subvert her Liberties, he must not be surprised if that Vengeance overtakes him, which is the Reward justly due to Parricides.
THE FREE CITIZENS.

N E W-Y O R K Sept. 19.
The Owners of Vessels here have to their immortal Honor, nobly refused to let them for the base Purpose of transporting Troops and military Stores to Boston, for enforcing the cruel & arbitrary Edicts of a corrupt Ministry, on that virtuous People now suffering in the glorious Cause of American Freedom.
Yesterday afternoon one of the Transports arrived here from Boston:--She sailed with two or three others, who are to take on board the 47th, and five Companies of the Royal Irish Regiment, to join those encamped at Boston.
