aft. BECAUSE we cannot, as Engliffinren, as
chrhiians, or as men of common humanity, consent
to the prosecution of a cruel' civil war, so little (up
ported by justice, and so very fatal in its necessary
consequences, as that which is now waging against
our brethren and fellow fubjefts in America. We
have beheld with furrow and indignation, session
zf-er fefli >n, and notwithstanding repeated warn
ings of the danger, attempts made to deprive some
millions of British fubjefts of their trade, their
laws, their cenftitution, their mutual intercourse
and ofthe very food which G?d has given them for
their fubfiftance. We have beheld endeavours used
to enforce these impolitic severities at the point of
the bayonet. We have, on the other hand, be
held so large a part of the empire united in one
common cause, really facrificing with chearfulnefs
their lives and fortunes, and prefering all the hor
rors of war raging in the very heart of their coun
try, to ignominious ease. We have beheld this
part of his Majesty's fubje&s thus irritated to refin
ance, and so luccefsful in it, still making profeffi
ons (in which we think it neither wife nor decent
' to affe& a difbelief ) of the utmost loyalty to his
Majesty ; and unwearied with continual repulses,
repeatedly petitioning for conciliation, upon such
terms only as (hall be confident with the dignity
and welfare of the mother country. When we con
sider these things, we cannot look upon our fellow
fubjeas in America in any other light than that of
freemen driven to resistance by a&s of oppression
and violence.
idly. Btcaufe this unnatural war, thus com
menced in oppression, and in the most erroneous
policy, must, if perlevered in, be finally ruinous
in its effects. The commerce of Great-Britain
with America was great and increasing, the pro
fits iinmfufe, the advantages, as a nursery of fea
inen, and as an inexhaustible magazine of naval
'ftores, infinite ; and the continuance of that com
merce, particularly in times of war, when most
wanted to support our fleets and revenues, not pre
carious, as all foreign trade must be, but depending
solely on ourselves. Those valuable resources,
which enabled us to face the united efforts of the
House of Bourbon, are actually loft to Great-Bri
tain, and irretrievably loft, unleft redeemed by im
mediate and effectual pacification.
gdly. Because Great Britain, deprived of so va
luable a part of its resources, and not animated, ei
ther with motives of fell-defence, or with those
profpe&s of advantage and glory, which have hi
therto supported this nation, in all its foreign wars,
may poffibiy find itfelf unable to supply the means
of carrying on a civil war, at such a vatt distance, in
a country so peculiarly circumftanctd and under the
complicated difficulties which necessarily attend it.
Still less should we be able to preferre by mere force,
that vast Continent, and that growing multitude of
resolute freemen, who inhabit it ; even if that, or
any other country was worth governing against the
inclination of all its inhabitants. But we fear that
while we are making these fruitless efforts, refufing
to give credit to the declarations of our fellow fub
je&s, and blindly confiding in the insidious profeffi
ons of the natural enemies of this country, we are
preparing an ealy prey for those who prudently fit
quiet, beholding British forces, which, if united,
might be in a condition, from their valour, num
bers and discipline, to carry terror into the very
heart of their kingdoms, destroying each other.
Every, event, which ever way it turns, is a victory
to them. Our very Hospitals furnish them with
daily triumphs, the greater as they are certain,
without any rifque to them of men or money.
4thly. Because we conceive the calling in foreign
forces to decide domestic quarrels, to be a measure
both disgraceful and dangerous : and that the ad
vice which minivers have dared to give to bis Majes
ty, which they have avowed and carried into exe
cution, of fending to the garrisons of Gibraltar and
Port Mahon, the dominions of the crown ofGreat-
B itain, a part of his Electoral troops, without any
previous cofifent, recommendation or authority of
parliament, is unconstitutional. That H meveri
an troops th old, at the mere pleasure of the mi
-litters, be considered as a pat of the British mili
tary eftalxilhment, and take a rotation of garrison
duties, through these dominions, is, in practice and
precedent, of the highrtt danger so the fafety and
liberties of this kingdom, and tends wholly to in
validate the wife and salutary declaration of the
grind fundamental law of our glorious deliverer
King William, which has bound together the
rights of the iubj^f, and the succession of the

The Humble ADDR E S 9 of the House or
Commons to the KING.
Most gracious Sovereign,
WE your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal
fubje&s, the Commons of Great Britain in
parliament assembled, beg leave to return your Ma
jesty the humble thanks of this House, for your
most gracious Speech from the Throne.
" Permit us, Sir, to assure your Majesty, that
we have long lamented the condition ofuur unhap
py fellow-fabje&s in America ; (educed from their
allegiance by the groffett mifieprefentatons, and
the most wicked and insidious pretenses, they have
been made the instruments of the ambition and
traiterous defirns of those dangerous men, who
have fed them step by step to the itandard of rebel
lion, who have now assumed the powers of sovereign
authority, which they exercise in the most despotic
and arbitrary manner, over the persons and pro
perties of this deluded people.
" Your faithful Commons took a sincere part in
your Majesty's benevolent and paternal 'defire, ra
ther to reclaim, than to subdue the most refractory
of your colonies; and excited by y6ur Mjrity's
great example, we were anxious to prevent, if it
had been possible, the effufion of the blood of our
fellow-tubjeas, and the calamities which are inse
parable from a date of war; we still hoped that
your Majesty's people in America would have dis
cerned the traiterous views of their leaders, would
have considered how ruinous even their success must
be to themselves, and been convinced that the con
ftitutiopal futj aion to Great- Britain is the freeft
and happiest condition of any civil society in the
known world; but we now lee with indignation,
that no other use has been made of the m deration
and forbearance of your Majesty and your Parlia
ment, but to strengthen the preparations of this
delperate conspiracy; and that the rebellious war
now levied is become more general, and manifeftly
carried on for the purpose of establishing an inde
pendent empire.
^ We beg leave to assure your Majesty of our
entire concurrence with your Majesty, in thinking
that it is now become the part of wisdom, and (in
its effe&s) of clemency, to put a speedy end to these
disorders, by the mod decisive exertions; and that
we learn, with the greatest fatisfi&ion, that, fcr
this purpose, your Majesty has increased your na
val establishment and greatly augmented yourl nd
forces, in such a manner as may be the least bur
thenlome to your kingdoms ; and we will cheerful
ly and effectually support your Majesty in such ne
cessary measures, and enable your Majesty, when
the occasion shall require it, to avail yourfelf of the
friendly offers which your Majesty has received of
foreign assistance: We thankfully acknowledge the
gracious considerations which induced your Majes
ty to fend a part of your electoral troops to the gar
rison of Gibraltar and Port Mahon, in order that a
larger number ofthe eftabrifhed forces of this king
dom might be applied to the maintenance es its
authority, and we are bound in duty to return your
Majesty our particular thanks for pointing out to
us, from the Throne, the constitutional refotur es of
our well modelled and well regulated n tionil mi
litia ; which upon every great emergency cannot
fail of affording security to your Majesty's realm,
and of giving, at the fame time, extent and a&ivity
to your military operations.
" It is with the highest fatisfa&ion and gratitude
we hear the affectionate declaration of the father of
his people, that when the unhappy and deluded
multitude, against whom this force will be diredel,
(hall become sensible of their error, your Majesty
will be ready to receive the milled with tenderness
and mercy ; and your Majesty's gracious commu
nication, of your intention to give authority to cer
tain persons on the (pot, to grant general and parti
cular pardons and indemnities, in such manner,
and to such persons, as they fliall think fit, and to
receive the submission of any province or colony
which may be disposed to return to its allegiance,
demands our warmest acknowledgments, and we
(hall be ready to give our concurrence to such mea
sures as may bed contribute to carry your Majesty's
wife and humane intentions into execution.
" Every motive and every interest, that can ani
mate the hearts of loyal fubjeas, call upon your
faithful Commons to grant to your Majetty fitch
fuppli.es as the circumstances and exigency of affairs
may require ; and being fully convinced that the
security of those advantages which are derived to
the commerce, the manufactures and the navigati
on of your Majesty's kingdoms, from the Ameri
can colonies, mult ever depend on their being held
in that due subordination to the legislature of Great-
Britain, in which the constitution has placed them,
we should be wanting in the duty which we owe
to our constituents, ourselves and our posterity, if
we did not engage with our lives and fortunes to
support this great and important cause, in which
the rights of your Majesty's Crown, and the inter
ests of your people are so effectually concerned ;
and we hope and trust, that we (hall, by the bleffmg
of 6od, put such strength and force into your Ma
jesty's hands, as may soon defeat and suppress this
inorr Tea pert te^n, and after repeated and obsti
nate battles, in which such numbers of our bravest
men have taken, the British forces have not been
able to penetrate one mile into the country, which
they were sent to subdue ; important fortreffes are
seized, the governors are driven from their pro
vinces, and it is doubtful, whether at this moment
we are in peff flion of a single town in all North-
America. Whether we cordidvr its extent er its
commerce, Bin land'las left half its empire in one
campaign. Nor can we impute the mifcondu& of
ministers to raeie inability, nor to their ignorance
of the Safe of America, upon which they attempt
to juftify themfeives ;. for while some members of
administration cons-ls they were deceived, as to the
strength and condition of the provinces, we have
from others received official information, that the
infufficiency of the navy was concealed from par
liament, and part of admiroftration, from a fear of
not receiving support from its members : We cannot
therefore consent to an address, which may deceive
his Majesty, and the public, into a belief of the con
fidence of this House in the prefect rainifters, who
have deceived parliament, disgraced the nation, loft
the Colonies, and involved us in a civil war against
our cleared interests; and upon the most unjufti
fitble grounds, wantonly spilling the blood ofthou
fands of our fellow fubje&s.

February 5, 1776.
WHEREAS the CONTINEN PAL CONGRESS
did lately resolve, " That if any person should be

of this city, hiving been charged with a breach of
this resolve, in refufing to receive the above Bills of

ledged in their defence, scruples of conscience
thereupon, as bein; money emitted for the purpose
of war. This Committee, pursuant to the trust re-
Rosed in them, proceeded to confider the charge
and defence, and are of opinion, that if such alle

exception, and as such coftdu& tends to subvert the
most essential rights and liberties of their fellow
citizens, and by deffroying the means of defence,
to expose their lives and properties to unavoidable
ruin, it ought not to be admitted. But it appears
to this Committee; by their own acknowledgments,
that the above persons have heretofore received and
do continue to receive Bills of Credit emitted in this

consistent with their former conduct —This Com
