[7] The parliamentary grants for the civil establishment of the provinces of Nova Scotia, Georgia, and East and West Florida, amount to _one million twelve thousand eight hundred and thirty-one pounds two shillings and eight-pence half-penny_, as the following account shews;--and notwithstanding this vast expence, the king has _not_ received any quit-rents from these provinces. How different is the present proposition, for the establishment of the Ohio colony?--In this case, the crown is to be paid for the lands, (and which is the first instance of _any_ being sold in North America). Government is to be _exempted_ from the _expence_ of supporting the colony, and the king will receive his quit-rents, _neat and clear_ of all deductions, (which deductions in the _old_ colonies are at least 20 per centum) as will more particularly appear by a _state_ of the king's quit-rents annexed hereto. The parliamentary grants above-mentioned are as follow: To Nova Scotia £. 707,320 19 7-1/4 To Georgia 214,610 3 1-1/4 To East Florida 45,400 0 0 To West Florida 45,400 0 0 The truth is, the inhabitants settled on this tract of country are in so ungoverned and lawless a situation, that the very Indians themselves complain of it; so that, if they are _not_ soon governed, an Indian war will be the inevitable consequence. This, we presume, is evident both from the correspondence of general Gage with the Earl of Hillsborough;--and a speech of the chiefs of the _Delawares_, _Munsies_, and _Mohickons_, living on the Ohio, to the governors of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia; lately transmitted by the general to his lordship.
