Warburg, Pincus New York Tax
Exempt Fund, Inc.

New York, New York 10017
Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice
for Warburg, Pincus New York Tax Exempt Fund, Inc.
(the "Fund") (Securities Act File No. 2-94841;
Investment Company Act File No. 811-4170)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Fund, a Maryland corporation, is filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a Rule 24f-2 notice containing the information specified in
paragraph (b)(1) of Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Rule"). We understand that the Fund has previously filed a
registration statement on Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, adopting the declaration authorized by
paragraph (a)(1) of the Rule to the effect that an indefinite number of shares
of common stock of the Fund (the "Shares") were being registered by such
registration statement. The effect of the Rule 24f-2 notice, when accompanied
by the filing fee, if any, payable as prescribed by paragraph (c) of the Rule
and by this opinion, will be to make definite in number the number of Shares
sold by the Fund in reliance upon the Rule (the "Rule 24f-2 Shares") during
the fiscal year ended February 29, 1996.
As to the various questions of fact material to the opinion expressed herein
we have relied upon and assumed the genuineness of the signatures on, the
conformity to originals of, and the authenticity of, all documents, including
but not limited to certificates of officers of the Fund, submitted to us as
originals or copies, which facts we have not independently verified.
Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Registration Statement.
On the basis of the foregoing, and assuming compliance with the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
applicable state laws regulating the sale of securities, and assuming further
that all of the Rule 24f-2 Shares sold during the fiscal year ended February
29, 1996 were sold in accordance with the terms of the Fund's Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information in effect at the time of sale at a sales
price in each case in excess of the par value of the Rule 24f-2 Shares, we are
of the opinion that such Rule 24f-2 Shares were legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable by the Fund.
We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and do not hold ourselves
out as being conversant with the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of
the United States of America and the State of New York. We note that we are
not licensed to practice law in the State of Maryland, and to the extent that
any opinion expressed herein involves the law of Maryland, such opinion should
be understood to be based solely upon our review of the documents referred to
above, the published statutes of that state, and, where applicable, published
cases, rules or regulations of regulatory bodies of that state.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with the Notice.
Very truly yours,
WILLKIE FARR & GALLAGHER
