•f all the American papers given into the mute of Com
taons by Lord North, none appeared so obnoxious to govern
ment as that stiled " a League and Covenant /" and it is said,
the crown lawyers have given it as their opinion that all the
Bostonians who frgned have committed ap overt-aft of high
treason. ~ „„
The following we hear, is an exaft lift of the reinforcement
intended for Bolton: Three regiments of foot, one of dra
goons, seven companies of marines; a large train of artillery.
Advices from Madrid mention, orders having been sent to
all the sea-ports in Spain, to register a great number of seamen
immediately.
Lord Chatham on Friday last in the House of Lords, at the
conclusion of a most excellent speech made a motion, for an
humble address to be presented to his Majesty for the removal
of the troops out of Bolton, as the firft step of reconciliation.
In answer to Lord Chatham,Lord Suffolk greatly condemn
ed the condud of the Americans ; said, government had tried
every gentle method in their power, but to no effect ; that
things were atlaft come to that crisis, that either the mother
must assert her authority, or resign it ; that himfelf, as one of
his Majesty's ministers, advised coercive measures, and would
abide by such advice at all hazards.
Lord Littleton supported Lord Suffolk, and rested the prin
cipal part of his argument on the infalibility of ads of parli
ament, which any power that resisted, he said, should be com
pelled to submit to.
Lord Gower, Rochford and Waymouth avowed the fettled
intentions of government of compelling theAmericans to the im
mediate obedience of the legislature of the mother country.
The question was put, when on a division there appeared,
not contents 77, contents 18.
We hear that previous to the commencement of any hostili
ties in American, a manifesto will be distributed amongst all
the provinces, setting forth at large the claims of government
on one fide, and the expected couceffions of America on the
other.
Authentic EXTRACTS from the mofi material parts of the seve
ral SPEECHES delivered in debate in the---- of ---- on a moti
on for filling up the blanks in an Address to his Majesty, refpeß
ing the present fitnation of affairs in America ; vbbicb adarefs
raxes draws up by the C- s, and presented to their L-- s,
at a conference held the fame day.
A Sfoon as the L---ds Managers had returned from the conference,
the L---d P tof the Council reported the jubje& matter
communicated by the Managers on the part of the C-----s at the said
conference. Before his L , was well fedted, tb'eM-As of R m
and L—dD to rose to Jpeak ; on which the partisans of each no
ble L---d injfed that their friend should have the preference., In
this confufion the L---d K rput the question, "Is it yourL---ps
pleasure that the E. of D th be now heard ?" After a confider
able debate, the question was put, and the motion was; carried with
out a division. L. D h accordingly rose, and after putting in his
claim to be heard to the question at large, moved that the blank in the
address presented by the C sat the conference, and now commu
nicated by the L---dP t, should be filled up with the words,
'' Lords Spiritual and Temporal."
: l%r-~ -m acquainted the H---e that the matter which he
rose to was to present two petitions, one from the merchants of Lon
don, concerned in the commerce to North- America, and the other from
the Weft-India merchants, planters and factors ; that he imagined
their contents were of the highest importance, were immediately rela
tive to the business under consideration, and were well worthy of ar
resting any determination of this H---e,for at leaf one day, being
certain that within that Jbort period, information of infinite conje
quence would be laid before their L ps, perhapsJefficient to alter,
er at leaf foften the rigour of the measures they were now madly,
hafily, and blindly proceeding to adopt. His L---p then defred that
the petitions might be ready, which being complied with, be observed
as a question was now before the H---e, that must bejirf difpojed of ;
and as consequently the fubjed matter of petitions could not regularly
come under the cognizance of the H---e ; and that he fill hoped the
house would be willing to hear the petitioners, as men fuffering under
the heavies misfortunes, none of which could be attributed to their
own mifeonduA, be would be under the necessity, as the only means
left, of moving the previous question, which would open a door for
taking into confederation a general fate of the petitioner's grievan
ces. The previous question was accordingly put, and his L +,
proceeded. He observed, that until the previous question was frft
disposed of, he could not regularly enter into a difuffon of the address,
but he would nevertheless, in this flage of the business, assure the
H---e, that there was one paragraph in it that he totally declaimed,
and defred to be underfood, neither to have aft or part in ; that was
where both boufes were to assure his Majefy the, would, in support
of the measures therein recommended, hazard their live's and for
tunes ; for be now openly declared be would neither rifque nor ha
zard life or fortune in such a cause. He said the noble mover ad
verted to fametbing be did not perfe&ly underfund, about unanimity.
If every man who opposed this addaefs was presumed to be aßuated
by falfe notions of popularity or factious motives, he believed four
fifths of the nation would fall under that predicament; but this be
could answer for himfelf, at all events, that be ,ould not tread in
&feps of bis noble, but ill-fated ancefler (Lord Stafford) who sirs

Lard C y rose, and after lamenting the ver, critical an
Dangerousftuation of affairs, and deploring the caujes v^bicb unban
pil, led to them, was cf opinion, that there was only cue alternative
left, which was, to agree with the present motion, and reffee to pre-
Jecute the most vigorous and effectual measures for enforcing obedi--
ence and submission, or at once give up the point, and relmqdijb all
fort of political connexion with the colonies forever.
Lord P t contended that the sea was our proper element ; was
against a land war, and frenuoufy urged the neceftty of fending a •
naval force fuffeient to block up their harbours, and by that means
to cut off their communication with all other powers, and put a total
fop to their commerce.*
Lord D gb united in opinion with bis two noble leaders on
their general principles, but inffled that a military force would be
neceffaryfor theproteAion of his majefy's loyal fubjefls, who be
otherwise expojed to the fury and violence of their mcrcilfs perfecuters-
Lord G—r adhered clojely to the immediate question before the;
H---e, the propriety of entering into an immediate examination of the
matter contained in the petitions intended to be prejewed to the nolle
M . He faid;tbe petitioners were perjons who deserved every
mark of attention and rejped which the H—e could pay them, ccn-
Jiftently with the interefrs of the empire at large; nnd altko' their
grievances were imaginary, their complaints were nevcrtbelefs de
ferring of indulgence.. He trufed, however, when they nurture!,'
considered that the feps now taken were to prevent the return cf fueb
evils in future, they would chearfully acquiefa in the wiflom cf
pat Lament in the present infance, and be grateful/, thankful hereaf
ter ; for if the fupremac, of the legislature was once given up, their
trade, commerce, and evf, pofib/e advantage accruing fiem either;
would joon be annihilated. Hi therefore hoped, that the merchants
would, on the pre,ent occafon, jabmit to a temporary inconvenience,
bay, a fort liv'd diftrejs, to injure the mifl permanent and impor
tant benefits, andmanifeft that degree of magnanimity whicb a
fenft of their ovon interefls, founded in febmiffion and acqudfeence to
the wisdom of parliament, mji, upon mature confderation and past
experience, mofl certainly jugpyfl.
L---d M d was elegant, persuasive and diffife. He fail it
was impofible to confine the attention tftbe H---c merely to the mat
ter of the previous quflon. He perfectly coincided injentiment wiA)
the noble E---l, who asserted that we were reduced to the alternative
of adopting coercive measures, or of forever rdinquijhirig our riaim
of jovereign, and dominion over the colonies.
