We hear that Answers to the Proposals from this City for altering the Non-importation Agreement, and opening the Trade to Great Britain, except for Tea or other Articles on which a Duty is exacted, have been received from Boston, Philadelphia, &c. And that they have unanimously and absolutely rejected the said Proposal,--being resolutely determined firmly to adhere to the Non-Importation Agreement as it stands; and that the People of Connecticut & New-Jersey, have determined to have no further Dealings with this Place, unless the said Agreement is strictly maintained. And as the Condition upon which the People here sign'd for the proposed Alteration, was that Boston and Philadelphia approved and came into the Measure, their Refusal puts an End to the Measure, proposed, so that the Non-Importation Agreement remains in full force, and will doubtless continue so, till the End is obtain'd.
