John Voorhis, of Brunswick, who attended the Congress at their request to be examined, says: that on Friday morning the 23rd inst. he was coming to New-York with his sloop Brunswick, laded with bread and flour, and 5 firkins of Butter; that he was brought to by Capt. [George] Vandeput in the ship Asia, who demanded of him what his cargo consisted of. That Capt. Vandeput ordered the hatches of the sloop to be opened, and took out 42 tierces of bread, 5 firkins of butter and 30 barrels of flour, for the payment whereof, he gave this examinant an order on Abm. Lott, Esqr. and then put 14 or 15 men on board the sloop and brought her along side of the ship Dutches of Gordon; that he was there ordered by Govr. Tryon to get his tackles ready; that Govr. Tryon directed all the flour to be taken out of the sloop and put on board of the Dutches; that 149 barrels were taken out of the sloop by Govr. Tryon's order and put on board of the Dutches; that 2 barrels of the finest flour was set by for the ship's use, and the rest stowed in the hold; that Govr. Tryon asked for his account; that he, this examinant asked 19s. per hundred for his flour, as he had been informed that was the market price; that Govr. Tryon would pay him only 18s. per hundred, and offered to pay him that price or permit him to go to New-York and get acertificate that the price was higher; that Govr. Tryon paid him for only 147 barrels of flour, though he kept an account of the weights and numbers, and is very confident that 149 barrels were put on board; that Capt. Vandeput's barge stopped the vessel of Thompson from Brunswick; that they detained him some time and then sent him back again; that Capt. Vandeput told him, seemingly in a low voice and when he was alone, that he might inform his countrymen that if they sent up provisions fit for shipping he would stop it, but he would not stop loose or unpacked provisions, such as butter, eggs, or pork in quarters for the use of the city, but that he could not let any thing pass which was in barrels; that he, the examinant saw a considerable quantity of beef and mutton in quarters, and pieces hanging between decks in the ship Asia.
