JtilAh -fraw Boston Indpendbnt Leqer. Mr. Printer, I AM no great writer or have an opportunity of feeing much, and now ami then give out a watch word for the fafety of my neighbours. Formerly the firft military word given to the loidi-rrs at their exercife, was, TAKE HEED-, afterwards it was changed to' HAVE a CARE; now it is, AT TENTION, I lie no difference in the fenfe, but not to be out of the fa (h ion, I will.take the iaft. ATTENTION my fellow-citizens, to your ruleri of every order; for if you do not artend to tbem they will attend to tbemfclvcs, and nottojw.

No free people ever jong preferved their liberty and hap-pinefs without watching thofe who hold the reins in government. ATTENTION the men that handle public money either for the civil or military fcrriee; for the gridiron over which it is cold, often enridhes individuals to the impoverifhmentandruinof thecom-munity. Many may think perhaps that paper money is not to apt to flip through as dollars were, but they are miftaken Ibme men can double their money, and Hide it through a chink where a dollar would not enter. ATTENTION 'to the form of go-Ternment you may adopt for if you do not look to that, poftenty will look back upon you with curfes, and all the world will look upon you as a parcel of fools, who have throwo away.the faireft opportunity any people ever had to fecure their own liberty and happinefs. Look then rotation in office be not left out of your conftitution.

It wu dejtgnedly omit-ltd in that lately propofed, though mfclf adopted by CongrdV, and almoft ail the other Hates. A few men continued in the moft important places, for a fucceflion. of years, may fo extend their conneclrons and influence, as to become natty, though not openly, millers of the Hate. ATTENTION the accumulation of offices on one man. Nothing is more unrealizable in itfelf, nothing more con-trary to the genius of a free government, than that one, equally well qualified, fhou Id have no public employment, while others have more than they can properly attend, to, Jn the laft cafe, they who cmftr them, want wijdom they who accett them, want nodrfty, ATTENTION to the amy cf your enemies in every quarter, tor, be allured whether you watch them or not, tlley watch you, and would be glad in fiwhe place or ether, to catch you napping.

A I'TENl ION your tutu ahny rut it be well up; well ft weP loathed, well paid and then tb.tr, thr doable, the aTa-r, the brave, be ai kV well honoured and the incapable, negligent, and cowardly be well dtfpifeJ. But watch with all your eyes, that in no place and upon no occauon, the military encroach upon the civil power. ATTENTION to your naval of airs, and what manner they are conducted, from the higheft to the lowed; department. Obferve with, what expedition your fbips arc fitted out when they fail with what capacity and ipirit their commanders and officers behave what fervicc they perform in proportion to their force and what public rewards and punilhmcnts are dii-penfed according to their different bejhavi-our. Let thofe be extolled even the ftars, who Hipprjt th honour your flag, your new conftellation, the thirteen ftarij and thofe who ftain it be overwhelmed with confufion, and flink into darknefs.

AT FENTION U-to your Cornmiffaries of Priftners, that they treat the unfortunate men under their care with all humanity and indulgence confident' with the public fafety, and no mere that the prisoners we have, be faithfully exchanged for the redemption of our brethren that ao clandtjline trade with our enemies be carried on in our flags. and nothing done, that may bear the lean appearance of a jecret bargain between a Britilh offi cer, tory merchant, or mercenary whig, and alTAmrrican CommifTary. ATTENTION Britilh Cornmiffaries Britilh infinuations, and BriciOi arts, and take care that their gold be not more fatal to you than their lead. The Iaft has (lain its thoufands, the frfi may purchafe chains for millions. Oblerve where it is like to go mark its effects in every order and let the fovereign remedy Oc errr k-wpL, a wakeful attention in the body of the people.

No people in their fen its would refute, a good but take care, that in the fhape of peace, you do not embrace the molt miferable" b'ondagr, and without remedy. ATTENTION I to the treeoom of the prefs. Some people who have talked for it, who have wrote for it, may, upon a change of fituation, be ready to winch at it. This mows the conftant neceflity for it. Never let the prefs be over-awed either by public or private-, perfons.

Only let truth and decency be preferved, and then, my countrymen, fpt-ak freely, write freely, of all men, and of zmeafurei. If you attend to this, and tome other thing! I have hinted at, you will fecure dll thit is worrh your Attention. BQB( CE NTfNEL. ALL thofe who kavedenundi oa, a are ia-Wabted to the eUic of David iate of Litchfield, deejfed, ire defiled to brin in 'I. ait account 1 in order or i tttlenient.
