AFTER having received so many instances of public Favour, I should think myself inexcusable did I not make known the Reason why I do not this Week publish a Gazette. It is owing to a Disappointment in receiving Paper from the Northward, which no human Prudence could have prevented. Next Week, however, or in a short Time, I expect a very considerable Quantity, when I shall endeavour to make up for all Deficiencies, and shall continue to render my Paper, as far as the most unwearied Diligence can enable me, the Vehicle of instructive Amusement, and of every Piece of authentic Intelligence, which may be either curious or important. It gives me the greatest Uneasiness that I cannot publish such Advertisements as ought to have appeared this Week, but as far as a Restitution of Money can atone for the Disappointment, it Shall be made.
I am the Public's obliged, and devoted Servant,
JOHN PINKNEY.
