the house of commons to the fallowing effect 1
“' That leave be given to bring in a bill to appoint
, c commissioners for examining into the fi nation of
*r those loyalifls that have fuffered during the'late
*' troubles in America."

Philadelphia, Sept. 20.
It appears by the Eng^lh prints of the latter end of
June last, that they were , v et ignorant of the French
army having left this continent, notwithstanding the
duke Lauzun's legion had arr?* e d at Erefl. In the
paragraphs which (hew this, they at the fame time flart
+the ridiculous idea, that a body of French tops were
to keep possession of Rhode-lfland till the Uored States
have paid the money borrowed from time to time of his
Most Christian M^jefty.

13. Rather ought it to be engraved in marble, with
golden letters, to bate forever and to extinguish from
the face of the earth, a toryifh or devilish principle, in
order that the remainder of mankind,(agreeable to the
firft and most principal chriftian rule " love thy neigh
bour as thyfelf") might live, and not be disturbed in
secure liberty, peace and happiness among themselves.
14. Should heaven forbid, tho' again ft common sense
and the dilates of justice and fafety to mankind, a con
trary disposition take place in the free people of these
Hates, may we not have all the reasons to f^ar, that the
dear lesson bought in this war, to extingriifh every to-
Tyifh principle,have not fu fficiently humbled and reach
ed us, and prepared our minds for a lasting and unin
terrupted peace; and that therefore the allmighty great
ruler of all should have Bill greater puniflfments in store
for us, and give us in his just wrath (because we would
mot fuffer to be ruled by equity and liberty and not ac
knowledge the gratitude due to a most gracious God)
33 in old times to the Israelites a king, who as scrip
ture forewarns us, would soon prove a tyrant over his

HASSLE AMERICANUS.
To the A MERICAN ARMV.
WELCOME! thrice welcome ,to a refeu'd land,
Your country's boafl! the patriotic band!
Whole gen'rous minds no dangers could appal,
When rouz'd by freedom's animating call.
Unnumber'd toils, and countless hazards past,
Glorious reflor'd to civil life at last !
Nations renowo'd for war, with rapture fir'd,
Vour gallant deeds, aflonifh'd have admir'd!
Not Rome imperial, in her brightest days,
Not virtuous Greece though bleff'd with equal praise,
Not all the countries in recorded time,
Search each heroic age and polic'd clime,
In freedom's cause produc'd a nobler band,
More fix'd to die, or save a bleeding land!
Througn you America's exalted name,
Among the nations takes a rightful claim;
Through you the star of Independence Chines,
And fafety (miles beneath our mantling vines!
