The Virginia Gazette

We are assured, from undoubted authority, that the Administration is well disposed to relieve the colonies against all real grievances arising from the late revenue acts; and though the present Ministry have concurred in the opinion of the whole legislature that no measure ought to be taken which can derogate from the legislative authority of Great Britain over the colonies, yet they have declared that they have at no time entertained a design to propose any farther taxes upon America for the purpose of a revenue, and that it is their intention to propose, in the next session of Parliament, to take off the duties upon glass, paper, and colours, on consideration of such duties being contrary to the true principles of commerce.
