TH E marquis of Rockingham obfeived, that
it certainly could not escape the pene
tration of the nob ! e earl (of Eillfborough)
that his explicit answer to the requisition of
the noble duke (of Richmond) mufi furnifh matter of
afloniihmeot to every lord within the house, that hia
colleague in administration, the noble vifeount (Stor
ment) to whom the sources of intelligence wer r ever
open, should either actually feel it difficult, or ground
lefsiy conceive himfelf incompetent to ©ve so plain an
answer to a clear and candid Queflion. Why should
the noble vifeount have hefitate^, for a single moment,
to meet with a decisive explanation the point on which
the noble earl (of Hillsborough) ingenuously had
thrown all light within his power? Perhaps, the no
ble vifeount imagined that be conducted himfelf (if the
expression were allowable) much more diferetely than
by not uttering a fing'e syllable relative to the fubjeft ;
and concluded, that in not telling the plain, unvarnish
ed tale at once unfolded by his noble colleague, he had
afforded to their lordships a striking infiance of good
policy and reasonable circumfpeaion. Let minivers
declare (for certainly it was their duty; a duty owing
to that house and to the public) whether they rad not
received an authentic copy of the proclamation pub
lished by flie American general Greene- wherein this
officer declared, that the execution of colonel Haynes
at Charleflown, without the previous forms of trial,
was a murder ; and that, availing himfelf of the firll
opportunity which might fall within his power, he
would enforce severe retaliations- Granting that the
ministry had received intelligence of these alarming me
naces from the American commander, it was natural
to alk them (and they ought instantly to give an open
answer to the question) if in the last dispatches for
warded to America, they had included such positive
and conciliating directions to the Britifli commander,
as might entirely preserve each officer in the royal fer
vice from tie leatt rifque, (if taken prisoner) of being
executed, in consequence of the retalia ing orders,
Bated in the proclamation issued by the rebel general
Greene? It wa^ not unreasonable to conclude from
the candid and explicit narrative of the noble earl (of
Hillsborough) that, some months ago, ministers were
in poffeffon of particulars, relating to this event. Had
they applied for farther information to lord Rawdon,
whose verbal evidence must cast no inconsiderable light
upon the fubieft? Did they not know whether two
gallant and deserving Eritifh officers were At this in
stant captives to the Americans, and in danger (per
haps, they had already fuffered) of a difgrateful exe
cution, in consequence of the proclamation published
by general Greene? The lea ft reserve of minivers on
this octafion would brand their public charafters with
shame; and their endeavours (if it was possible that
they could defeend to them) toavoid giving, not mere
ly in the face of parliament, but of the whole nation,
and of all the world, the most ample and Satisfactory
account of theit proceedings in this affair, would Shew
how wilfully they had neglected the great interests of
the English empire ; what a corrupt negleft of common
policy accompanied the baneful progress of their mea
sures; and with what insolent contempt they Set the
dilates of humanity at defiance. Several months had
elapsed, subsequent to the execution of colonel Haynes,
which took place upon the Second of Augufl. Relati
ons of all occurren es concerning it Appeared soon af
terwards in the different news papers. Letters from
multitudes of persons 10 their Several Correspondents
in England, had arrived from America, and cir
cumstantially stated this dangerous and violent trans
action. It was universally believed, if not aduall,
known, that the government had received, subse
quent to the tirhe when this impolitic and alarming
measure happened, several advices from Charlestown;
and therefore it appeared astonishing that miniffers
were not officially competent to Speak with indisputa
ble precision upon the point in question. The manly
and ingenu us communications of the noble earl re
flected tuftre on a disposition which was above All pitiful
evasion and disguise. The marquis contended for the
necessity of recurring to the evidence of lord Rawdor,
who, as a party concerned, was able by his deposition,
to elucidate the transactions. A full investigation was
absolutely and immediately requisite; and he truOrd
that whilst he figni6ed his anxious withes, that the
house would enter on it with a positive determination to
probe all matters to the bottom, neither the gallant of
ficers (lord Rawdon) nor his noble relation (the earl
