Boston, May 25. HENRY ALLINE, jun. Pro. Clerk.
By an express just arrived from South-Caroli
na, we hav^ authentic information, that the
"General Aflembiy of that Province, have resolved
,ot to enter into any treaty or correspondence
with the Court of Great-Britain, or any persons
under their authority, but through the medium
of the Honourable Continental Congress.
IN the farewell ferraon preached by that venera
ble and learned divine, Mr. Thomas Hook
er, at bis leaving of England, so long ago as the
year 1633, are tbefe Prophetical pafhges.,
" Is not England ripe ? Is foe not weary of
God ? Nay, foe is fed fat for the faugbter."
" England hath seen her best days, and now
evil days are befalling her."
" Thou England, which haft been lifted up to
bea^n with means, Jhall be abaf d and brought
down to hell ; for if the mighty works which have
been done in thee, bad been d% in India or Tur
key, they would have repented e'er this."
" God will defray England, and lay it wafe,
and the people Jhall be put unto the sword. —-He
will break the nation of England in pieces like a
potter s veffl."
WILLIAMSBURG, May ,
Extras of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia
to bis friend in Virginia, dated April 26, 1776.
" We have all the debates in Parliament, by
which it appears that the determination of Court
is, firft to conquer, and then to grant pardons to
those they chwofe ; and for this purpose only are
the Commissioners declared to be feat. This is
the ofteniible plan, but we are informed they are
to bribe through thick and thin, to procure the
betraying of America ; so that it behoves all men
to watch, with most attentive consideration, the
conduct of th@fe intruded with the public oon-.
eerns, whether Colonial or Continental."
