Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Philadelphia, dated the 18th instant.
The province of New Hampshire have asked advice of Congress relative to assuming government. The Congress advised the provincial convention to grant warrants for a free and full election of representatives of the colony, who, if they think it necessary, are to choose such a form of government as they in their judgment shall think will best promote the happiness of the people, and preserve peace and good order during the present dispute with Great Britain. The same advice was given to South Carolina, and in a few months I hope every colony will be perfectly free.
