Full Text
For this three months past the printer of this paper has rarely received a single paper from New-York or Philadelphia, by the mails which have arrived during that period, notwithstanding he has been very careful in forwarding his papers to the printers in the above cities, enclosed in small packages, and directed to the "Post-Office, New-York, &c." He now calls upon his brother printers in the above cities, especially such as were, before this lapse, his steady correspondents, to oblige him so far as to inform, whether they forward their papers or not. Need he suggest the very great injury which this stoppage of the regular channels of intelligence may be to these states? No: it must be obvious to every thinking person.—It is much easier to obtain intelligence, and we have it more regular from, Great-Britain, than from the southern states, owing to the detention of newspapers, somewhere!
