NEW BRUNSWICK.

Newspapers were not printed in this province until the
year 1783; two or three then issued from the presses of
those printers who, during the war, were with the British
army in New York, &c., but who, when peace was established,
left the United States and settled at St. John, the
chief town of New Brunswick. I do not know of more
than one Gazette now (1810) published in the province.
