To LOR dTa'n DWIC if.
My LORD,
J Congiat alate your Lordfliip on an instance
of American cowardice, whxh your Lord
ihip had so prophetically lorefold: The instance
I allude to is to be found in General Gage's cir
cuin ftantial acc unt, or narrative of the attack,
or battle at Lexington and Concord, in the pro
vince of Massachusetts Bay, in which he gives
a clear and impartial account of the barbarity
of the Americans, as well as that of their cow
ardice: 1 make no doubt but the Yankoos will
pretend not' to believe it, efpeciglly the barbar
ity which i^nct quite so clear. But as to the
cowardice, it is id inconteftibly proved, that
they themselves will not undertake to deny, if
they do notown it. The General, in this sen
sible and hiallerly performance, fays, a man
had advanced from the provincials assembled at
Lexington, and attempted to (hoot the regulars
by Snapping his gun, which slashed in the pan:
And that on theattack ofthe troops atConcord
bridge, after feme of them had fallen and they
began their retreat, they observed fcldiers dead
on the ground, one of them scalped, and h;s
ears cut off, though not quite dead; fromwhich
it is very clear that one or more of the provin
cials had the cowardice to go in amongst the re
gular troops, and, ut bff the ears of a soldier
that had failen, though not quite dead.
This, my Lord, may seem no less odd than
true, for it is fully proved ; for unless the fcl
dier's ears had been cut off whilst amongst the
body of regulars, they could not possibly have
known it, 4s they don't pretend (nor the pro
vincials believe) that they ever regained any
ground they had retreated over, and besides
(my Lord, as a poof) if his ears had been cut
off, after they had retreated, and left him on
the ground which the provincials had gained,
the King's troops could not possibly have seen
him to prove it ; another instance, my Lord,
one of them had the cowardice to Rrike Major
Pitcairn at the head of his troops : So that, my
Lord, I think I have very fully proved to your
Lordship, at lead, (and for which 1 hope to be
rewarded) the cleared and most flagrant instan
ces of American cowardice, and which I think
is quite fufficient to fatisfy your Lordship, that
a few more troops in addition to those already
here in command of General Gage, (who have
shewn so much bravery as to fuffer a tingle cow
ardly American or two to enter into the army
and cut off the ears of a soldier that had fallen
in battle) will be fufficient to frighten all the
inhabitants out of America, whereby your Lord
fh'p and the rest of the junto will have an op
portunity of amply serving your faithful friends
(in the glorious cause of despotism and arbitral
ry power) by granting to them the lands and
ellates ofthefe refugees: In doing which! should
not forget to remind your Lordship to remember
Your faithful Humble Servant,
An EXPECTANT.
