A letter from Bermuda, dated the 6th ult. inclofed the
raanufeript copy of the following speech of his ex
cellency George Bruere, efquife; governor of that
island, at the opening of the session, a few days be
fore the date of the letter; as we have been favour

Gentleman ofthe council, Mr. speaker, and gen

XX/hen Fa&ion Heps forth disguised in the robes
VV of patriotism, to inflame and : difquiet the minds
of a people,, it is the duty of every virtuous citizen,
from the highest to the fowefl, to flrip the fury of her
borrowed dress, and expose her wiles and wickedness
to the community. By London letters intercepted
on their return in the. late spurious flag Porgey, from
Ballon, I find intrigues were tried by the pretended
public agent of this plice with the ministry, to palli
ate and cover the inurcourfe between these isles and
America: an agent supposed for the general weal soli
citing place for himfelf and the leaders of cabal,
even for the clerk, who was also one of the principal
promoters of an association against privateering, to be
judge of the admiralty, by displacing his then avow-

ed friend arid late judge. The fyflem pointed out from
the fame channel to be followed here is, " by various
means to disunite the crown officers, to gain over the
military to join in a representation a gainft the gover
nor's measures, to bring the cuffom house entirely to
the interest of the confederacy ; by tampering with the
son to influence the father; advising your leaders to
fa aside the association. as it was consider- d a direct
opposition to government. And after treating minis
try, the late governor, and the newly appointed crown
officers, with indecent and unbecoming familiarity,
recommended civility to them, in shew at leift, as
Great Britain was more determined and united than e
ver, and would never want men, money or ships; cau
tions them against the lieutenant governor's making a
party : which is alledged (contrary to fad) he decla
red he wou d endeavour.?'
Gentlemen, you are, and have long been greatly im
posed on: lam above di party, and have ever been
pu: suing t'e line, law, reifon, and inftruftions pre
fer bed. By those who w ; fh w. 11 to their country, and
are not deceived, I must be followed. Those who have
deluded you into illegal associations, fait trade, and
ads, which would in any but a British government,
have been attended with the most tragical consequences,
will I fear, be fill Hiring up mifuhief. Look into
your records, and for more thon fifty years ! you will
find opposition, bitter inveflive, and gross "abuse on e
very g vernor, whenever the schemes of the fadion
were thwarted, though reason and duty pointed out
their evil tendency.
The plan of altering the feat of government, and es
tablishing lidereet ports of entry, is again in contem
plati a between the agent and his corefponderits, pof.
fioly without even th^ knowledge of either house.
. Gentlemen of the assembly,
Imapire not that I with to rake up grievances and
that those who have been milled, should not Conciliate
themselves to government; I even with it possible the
authors of all late errors would repent, and become
go : d fubjeds.— It is my duty to set before you plans,
in my opinion futverfive of order, government and
happiness. Situation and the wisdom of your ances
tors, pointed out and continued St. George's the feat
of government an 1 trade: fortunate it would be for
Bermuda, if the country was left to culture, and the
merchants eftaUifel here : but contrary to .ti,e gene
r I good, every man from private infereft drives to have
the town contiguous to bis own estate, though nature
must be forced to eheft his felfifh views. Do not vain
ly imagine a wife and able admmJflration is to be du
ped into opening harbours for fmuggl ng, by a people
whose mifeondua in assisting the rebels, has be n : o
nefily set forth from every quarter. —All the different
places in possession of his majesty's troops, and the
American governments not in rebellion, are so much
on their gua-d, from the tricks alrea iy played by
some of your vessels, that it is with dieffiulty we are al
lowed to oad provilions; perhaps we may again want
to prevent so dire a calamity, 'imitate Barbadoes ; throw
your vales into cultivation ; they will yield abundant
ly and will return much greater profit than the growth
of timber, for which there is ample room on the bills
and lands less adapted for agriculture. It is well
known you formerly exported corn and tabacco ; and
why not in. times threatning difirefs, do we not firive
to have fuffic^ent produce of grain for home consump
tion?
Confider whether your agent has been soliciting the
affairs of the people, or the private business ofa few;
examine into the public services he has performed, and
weigh whether the country can support the heavy tax
of five hundred pounds sterling a year, more than the
most opulent Weft India isle has in general allowed
their agent. Yet he complains that sum is not fuffici
ent for him ; requiring one hundred pounds sterling
more annually to roll in his chariot. Out of what
fund is he to be paid ? you cannot suppose any repre
sentative of his majeHy will assent to its being taken
from theliquor tax, which is by the a&, to be appro
priated to the forts, fortifications, and contingencies
of government; they, we all know, require more than
there is at present in the treasury. Remember the
la(ge arrears long due the late governor ; the ruinous
and almofi uninhabitable condition of the government
house; contrast the situation of a governor or lieute
nant governor, bis necessary expences for the dignity
of this, as well as the mother country. Little, nay no
thing do I personally hope from you: and little do I
care. The Ihort time I expect to remain in command
I will to the utmost of my.ability, maintain the credit
of my station. All I now requeftis, that you will ex
pedite public works and business, that we may have
this country in a proper state of defence, and appear
to better advantage to our momently expeaed governor.
I (hall, by message, acquaint you of every thing ne
cessary in the order its importance requires#
