O R, THE
THE
, HOUSE of COMMONS, May to.
M"° n'''" C°°ke read, from a news-paper, an ert
traft of a circular letter, addressed by Lerd Shel
°°e ° f the principal Secretaries of State, to the
ore Mayor of the city of London, containing a plaa
°r l c ° nfideration of that Magistrate, the object of
which was immediately to put arms into the hands of the
P ,P, I have not the smallest doubt, said this Member,
of the purity of intention in the. Minister who finned this
e " er °n 1 am P erfe&l Y persuaded that the noble°Ea.%nd
his colleague have nothing in view, but what they think
lmme diately for the good of the public, and efpeci
to put the kingdom in the best state of defence.
However, I must ask their pardon for being (truck with
terror at the firft reading of this letter. It is not the pre
, ' Ministry, but one that may exist, that alarms me,
lince I fee a foundation laid, which, however well intend
ed, may produce consequences most dangerous and fatal
to the liberties of the people. It may be remembered
now uniformly ayerfe our ancestors have been to ever,
thing that looked like establishing a military government,'
°f " e "'^bt e ft trace of it. How many wife precautions
they have taken to prevent any violation of the eonftitu
tion in that refpeft. I can fee no reason for having re
course, with so much precipitation, to an expedient,
which, calculated at all times to give umbrage, will giva
more at present in proportion to the little peceffity thero
is for it. If the Dutch fleet gave a momentary alarm, it
was without foundation, and vanished as soon as it was
known that the fleet, not having troops on board, could
not meditate an invasion. But even if the danger had
been probable, it seems to me that a mode of defence so
new and extraordinary ought not to have been employ ed,
without the knowledge and consent of Parliament, unless
the danger had happened during a prorogation. I there
fore hope that the Ministry, of whole intentions I again
disclaim all suspicions, will not have recourse to any mea
sure of a nature so new, so delicate, and fa alarming,
without firft asking the advice and support of this House-
The letter, &c. alluded to is as follows:
, SIR, e Whitehall, May 7, 1782.
" I have his Majesty's commands to assure you of his
entire confidence in the courage and loyalty of hjs people,
and that in time of danger their utmost efforts will be
employed to prove incontestably their zeal and emulation
for his Majesty's service. Foreseeing that by wife, vigor
ous and timely preparations, his Majesty will not < nly
defeat all hostile attempts, but, by the appearance of
force and unanimity within, w^l he able to make the molt
powerful efforts abroad to maintain the honor and inter
ests of his kingdom, and by these means lay the solid
foundation of a sure, honorable and lasting peace. As
the populousness of the principal cities and 'towns of
GreAt-Britain affords the greatest facility, as well for the
formation of military corps, as for learning the military
exercise without losing time, interrupting their lab ,11, or
any considerable fa igue, his Majesty has commanded' me
to transmit you the enclosed plan, which has been sub
mitted to his royal consideration, as a temporary means
at least of increasing the internal force of the nation.
This plan, being improved and adapted to the circurn
ftances of the city over which you pretide, will t nd to form,
immediately a considerable additional force within, upon
the molt natural and conftituti nal principles. For this
purpose, his Majesty orders me to fignify to you bis desire
and lecon aendaticn to take it into immediate consider
ation, and after having weighed it to return me your ob
servations on it, that a meafi.re may be carried into the
most effectual execution, wh ; ch has' for its object the se
curity of your own person and property, as well as the
general defence, of the kingdom.
PLAN for levying Military Corps in the principal Cities
of Great Britain.
