Lord North said, as the time allotted for the
reading the papers was Thurfday# but as there
were more of them than he firft imagined, he
had no objection to postponing the reading of
them until Friday next, and on Monday next to
relate upon them.
The Question concerning the Address was
put. and carried.
March,. The Hamburgh Merchants are
much disappointed in their expeditions of a pe
tition to Parliament from thole concerned in the
American and Weft-lodia boGnefs, as many of
the more refpeaable people in those trades base
given it as their opinion, that the application
from the British and kith Linen Manufacturers is
founded on jaftice, and that if they are denied
such relief, as they Solicited, they will emigrate
to the Colonies, and there establish that Mano
figure greatly to the prejudice of the Trade of
the Mother Country,
Mr. Edmund Burke in the House Commons
on Monday, vehemently declaimed againG the
adoption of hostile mcaforcs with refpc& to the
Colonies. He affirmed, that the evils labeling
in America were of a civil nature, and that,
to propole military remedies for the corrc&ion
of civil Shafts, was to ad in direct contradiction
to every principle of found policy; befi-es, the
exeendec cf a plan of the kind had been, and
would be, in every particular^ Government,
forced impracticable The Magiflrate muff
in counter with theMiGtary, or every effort of .
the latter would prove futile and abortive. Every
law process relative to the life, liberty or pro
petty of an English fubjtd bespoke a popular
origin, from the preferment on theGrand Jury
to the final adjudication efa Petty Jury. Ihe
principles of Government, therefore, should have
refpea to the democracy or theConstitu
tion, ^ud, as that allowed of no appeal to the
Sword but in conjun&ion with the Civil Power,
where the Magistracy refused toco operate, a
military force muff turn to little account. These
portions, applied to America,would, Mr Burke
said, hold good in every refped : The introduc
tion of an army would not change the opinions
of the Calonifts ; the men who thought them
selves 111 treated now, would not be of different
sentiments when the bayonet! were printed to
their breads, and onlefs. by an alteration of
meafores, you effected a change in the opinions
of men, you might destroy numbers, without
being able to establish any permanent Sovereign
ty over the multitudes who frirvired the fan
guinary policy, Mr. Burke, concluded by ad
fifing a Change of American Governors,
the folly of the present having brought on the
mifehiefs of which were now complained.

Mr. PRINTER,
SOME time io FebrtWy last, As 1 was ps&g
through Fairfield, I put up at the houle of
Mr Penfield, where! observed io a basket which
Jiangs in the common bar room, a large packet
direaed “ To the Honorable Speaker cf the
House of Assembly of the Colony bf Connc&i
cut." About two months after puffing through
Fairfield again, found the fame packet remaining
there, and two others directed in the fame man
per, which ft little (arpriz^d me, and, as a Free
man of the colony, felt fomewhst oneafy I
enquired of Mr. Ft field rhe reason of the let

Aad informed the Speaker of their being there,
And that he had been at his house and refafed to
pay for, and take them up, and said he had no
right to do if. This, I confefs appeared to me
very Grange ; however.lead I should wrongfully
charge the Speaker with what I thick a neg riff,
