HANOVER, (N. H.) July 28.
The Public are assured by a gentleman of credibility, direct from Canada, that Gov. Simcoe's rightful invasion was by no means hostile, but with the most kind and benevolent views imaginable; viz. to build us a Corn-Mill!!! How noble and generous in his Excellency to stoop to so servile an office; merely to oblige us—because he has no use for such an instrument, at home.
A Wit begs leave to enquire, whether said mill is to go by water only, or like the Duke of York, by land and water BOTH!
