Francfort, March 25.  Printed advertisements have been stuck
up and dispersed in this city, inviting all, who, with
permission of their sovereigns, intend to settle in Nova-
Scotia, to apply as soon as possible to a commissary, who is
arrived here from Rotterdam to treat with them for their
passage.
From the Gentleman's Magazine, for February last.
NOVA-SCOTIA.
(Part of a New Ballad. To the tune of King John and the
Abbot of Canterbury.)
Let's away to New-Scotland, where plenty sits Queen
O'er as happy a country as ever was seen;
And blesses her subjects, both little and great,
With each a good house, and a pretty estate.
  Derry down, &c.
. . . [3 more verses; chorus not printed in full.]
