ohar&r O' A ^hi, on the firm bafu of inviolable
fail)and sacred honor.
In thu ex/reffiug our minds to Congress, '"a are
)ikewife compelled to fay, that from you residence a
mongus, w have ben witnesses to th^ uncommon diffi
culties you have had to Hruggle with; we have beheld
them whh concern, ard oftentimes with heartfeltanx
iety. We have p-rfr.i/aied in your cares, and par
took of your burdens; while our chiefeft confolati m
under them was, that they did not arise from any un
widingnefs or backwardness in the government of this
slate, to adopt proper measures for removing them, nor
from any narrow views in the citizens to counteract
them.
We do not amuse the world with calling on Con
gress to do justice to toe army, and to the creditors of
America, and at the fame time withhold the means by
which that justice is to be fulfilled. On the contrary
we freely offer ourselves to bear cur (hire in any nari
onal measure to effect thole purposes, and to eftablidi
the character of Amer ca equal to her rank.
Though we do not enier into the re Tons or causes
which might have suggested to your honorable body
the propriety of adjourning at the particular time you
did adjourn, from your long accustomed residence in
this city, we beg leave to assure Congress of the af
feCtion of the cit zens of Philadelphia to that union,
which has so happily succeeded in accomplishing the
freedom and independence of America, and that if ei
ther now, or at any fu ure time, until the residence
of Congtef, fhal be permanently eftabbfned, it should
appear to your honorable body, that the situation of
Philadelphia is convenient for tranfafting therein the
affairs of the United States, that Congress may repose
the utmost confidence in the patriotism of its inhabi
tants, not only to prevent any circumflanc c winch may
have a tendency to disturb the necessary deliberations
of Congaefs, but to aid in all measures to support the
national honor and dignity.
By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS Assembled,
July 28th, 1783.
An address from the citizens of Philadelphia ard the
liberties thereof, having been received and read,
Resolved, that the president inform the cit:zens of Phi
ladelphia, audits liberties, in aufwer to their refpea
ful and affectionate address, that the United States in
Congress assembled, have great fatisfaftion in review,
ing the spirited and patriotic exertions which have
been made by the government and citizens of Penn yD
vania in te course of the late glorious war: and that
they are highly p'eafed with the resolution expreffid
by the citizens of Philadelphia, to aid in all measures
which may nave a tendency to support the national ho
nor and dignity.
CHARLES THOMSON, Secretary.
Princeton, July 30, 1783.
SIR,
1 LATELY had the honor of laying be ore Congress,
J. a very refpeaful and affectionate address from the
citizens of Philadelphia, and the liberties thereof; in
answer to which, lam inftruded by Congrefsto inform
those worthy gentlemen, “ that the United States in
" Congress affrmded, have great fatisfadion in re
" viewing the spirited and patriotic exertions, which
'' have been made by the government and citizens of
" Pennfylvania s in the course of the late glorious war ;
" and that Congress is highly pleaded with 'the refolu-'
" tion expressed by the citizens of Philadelphia, to
" aid in all measures which may have a tendency to
'' support the national honor and dignity."
As the honorable delegates of Pennsylvania resident
in the city, are expelled here before this can reach
you, and I observe that your name is the firft fubferi
bd to the address, permit me, fir, to beg the favor
of you, to make this answer known to the refpedable
citizens who are among your fellow fubferibers, and
at the fame time to assure them, that I feel myfelf ve
ry happy, and highly honored in thus communicating
the testimony of the United States, to the patriotic and
fuccefsful exertions of the government and citizens
of Pennfy vania in the common cause.
I have the honor to be,
with the mod refpedful consideration and esteem,
Your most obedient and very humble servant,
ELIAS BOUDINOT.
Thomas Willing, esquire.
Ex raft of a letter from New-York, dated the goth ult°
" You may rely that 47 fail of the line, which
were paid off, are put into commission again in Eng
land, since the peace; thirteen of which are tliree
derktrs."
Several transports have lately arrived at New-York
from Jamaica, St. Augufiine, and Turk's Island.
We hear that fir Guy Carleton is dismantling the for
tifications at Kingsbridge, and calling in the polls
from Long-Island; but there dos not appear a fuffici
ent number of transports to take off the whole garri
son and (lores.
The honorable the general assembly of Virginia hav
ing, by a resolution, invited the honorable the Con
gress to make the city of Williamlburgh, in that slate,
the place of their future residence; the inhabitants of
that city and its neighbourhood, lately met and re
solved, that they would willingly submit to such jurif
didion as might be compatible with their political wel
fare, and worthy of gene,out minds either to demand
or yield.
The ship Grange, captain Roberts, left Liverpool
the Sth of July, when it was generally underwood that
every matter relative to the peace was fettled ; conse
quently we may expect the sirs l arrival from Europe
will bring us the definitive treaty.
Saturday last a detachment of continental troops, be
longing to the Pennsylvania line (about 300) arrived
here fom Charleftown, South Carolina. In the after
noon they marched through the city, and, by tueir
veteran appearance, juftiy excited the admiration
and appiaufe of the citizens.—We are told that two
companies of Pennfylvan a artillery remained in South-
Carolina when the above came away; but they are short-
Jy expeO^d here.
The brig Ferret, captain Ewing, arrived at New-
York last Tuesday from Liverpool. On the 9th of
June, in lat. 47, long 13, he spoke the (hip St. James,
from Philadelphia bound to Brest, with French troops
on board.
The New-York paper of Saturday last contains no.
thing new.
