Dr. Franklin presents his Compliments to Mr. Hartley, and sends the Pennsylvania Votes for 3 successive Years, wherein he will find the Form and Manner of Requisitions. They are always contain’d in a Letter from the Secretary of State written by his Majesty’s Command, the Business having been first considered and resolved in Council. A Conversation between a Chancellor of the Exchequer and an Agent, in which the former might talk of taxing the Colonies, was never understood to be a Requisition; If the Colonies had proceeded to raise Money upon Information of such Discourse, without knowing whether the King was privy to it or had ordered it, it might be expected another Year, that they would raise Money on an Intimation from the Chancellor’s Secretary to the Agent’s Clerk.
