[ 7 ] The parliamentary grants for the civil establishment of the provinces of Nova Scotia, Georgia, and East and West Florida, amount to one million twelve thousand eight hundred and thirty-one pounds two shillings and eight-pence half-penny, as the following account shews;—and notwithstanding this vast expence, the king has not received any quit-rents from these provinces. How different is the present proposition, for the establishment of the Ohio colony?—In this case, the crown is to be paid for the lands, (and which is the first instance of any being sold in North America). Government is to be exempted from the expence of supporting the colony, and the king will receive his quit-rents, neat and clear of all deductions, (which deductions in the old colonies are at least 20 per centum) as will more particularly appear by a state of the king's quit-rents annexed hereto.
The parliamentary grants above-mentioned are as follow:
| To Nova Scotia | £. 707,320 | 19 | 7¼ |
| To Georgia | 214,610 | 3 | 1¼ |
| To East Florida | 45,400 | 0 | 0 |
| To West Florida | 45,400 | 0 | 0 |
