NEW-LONDON, March 5.
Whoever attempts in the least to defraud the government of whatever has been granted for the public service by the laws, is not only utterly unworthy to receive the smallest benefit from those laws, but is likewise an enemy to his country. The moment he endeavours to cheat the general revenue of those duties which were set apart for the general good, that moment he endeavours to undermine the very basis of the public security ; to reduce his fellow subjects to a state of wretchedness and slavery, and do his part to distress his Country.
