To ^ KING) ^ Fallen: MAJESTY.
The hnvib'e Address and Representation of bis loyal
Swyeb's, ire Delegates of the Inhabitants of
Geort b, now met in Provincial Congress.
Mav it Recife your Majefly,
'T'HCUGH we bringup the rear of American
X petitioners, and from the fate of so many
petitions presented to your Majesty from America,
your great city of London, and others of your
Enrepean fubjeds, have a most melancholy prof
pc&, we still hope, He, by whom King's rule, and
to whom Monarchs are accountable, will incline
you to receive and pay feme regard to our most
humble and faithful representation. In times like
these, where the edge of present feelings is blunted
by the expectation of calamities still greater,- we,
must take the liberty to speak before we die We
would acquaint our Sovereign with things which
greatly affeA his interest. We would endeavour
to awaken the feelings and pity of our common
Father. Hear us therefore, that God may hear
you also.
Your Majesty is the rightful Sovereign of the
most important empire of the universe. The blef
iing of Providence on your arms has put a coun
try in America under you, of greater importance
and extent than several kingdoms in Europe. In
this large extent of territory, by some late afls,
Popery is not only tolerated (which we conceive
would have been but an ad of justice) but an in
didgence has been granted, little short of a full es
tablishment, to a religion which is equally inju
rious to the rights of fevereign and of mankind;
French and arbitrary laws there have, by authori
ty, taken place of thejuft and mild British consti
tution; and all this has been done with the profef
fed and avowed design to over-awe your Majesty's
ancient Protestant and loyal fabjeas, some of
whom had no small share io the merit of that
conquell. \
Ads to raise a perpetual revenue on the Amerf
cans, without their consent, have been enaded,
which, at one ffroke, turn all your American 16b
jeds into llaves, and deprive them of that right
which the mofc op,reffive talk mafrer does not de
ny to the fervent bought with his own money.
Experience muff now have shewn, as it will clear
er, fhculd these ads be continued, that instead of
increasing the revenue, or l&Tening the burdens of
your European fuljeds, they can only serve to
incrcafe their taxation.
Laws, which we conceived fraught with so much
injustice, have been endeavoured to be enforced
by equal cruelty, and whenever we thought our
selves at the height of cur troubles, your Majes
ty's Miniftfy have Drained their unhappy ingenui
ty to find out new methods of distress, and it is
believed methods have been, more than thought
of, too Locking to human nature, to be even nam
ed in the lift of grievances, fuffered under a British
King.
The goodness of God hath made your Majesty
father of a very numerous issue, on whorii we
place the pleasing hopes of a protestant succession ;
but your Majesty's arms in America now every
day make mothers chiJdlefs Rnd children father
lefs ! —The blood of your fubje&s has been shed
with pleasure, rather than with pity, for an action
which amounted to no more, even under the worst
conttrnQion, than an irregular zeal for constitu
tional liberty, and without any step taken to find
out the supposed guilty persons, the capital of your
American dominions has been blocked up, depri
ved of its trade, and its poor of fubfifter.ee, thou
sands, confeffedly innocent, have been starved, ru
ined and driven from, or kept, like prisoners in
their own habitations, their cries, and blood in
nocently flied, have undoubtedly reached, and
daily do reach His Ears, who hateth injustice
and oppression.
Believe us, great Sir, America is not divided,
all men, crown officers not excepted, speak of
these a&s and measures with disapprobation,
and if there has been some difference of opinion,
as to the mode of relief, the rigorous experiments,
which your ministry thought fit to try on the Ame
ricans, have been the most effectual means to con
vince these of the iniquitous designs of your mini
stry, and to unite them all as in a common cause.
Your Majesty's ministers after thus introducing
the daemon of difeord into your empire, and driv
ing America to the brink of despair, place all their
dignity in measures obstinately pursued, because
they were once wantonly taken, they have heark
ened to no information but what represented the
Americans either as rebels or cowards, time will
every day make it clearer how much they were
infatuated and mistaken. Too long, we muff la
ment, have these men imposed on your paternal
affection. Deign now, most gracious Prince, in
their room, to hearken to the cries of your loyal
and affectionate fubje&s of this extensive conti
nent. Let the goodness of your own heart, in
terpole between weak or wicked ministers, and
millions of loyal and affectionate fubjeds : No
longer let the sword be stained with the blood of
your own children ; recall your troops and fleets ;
and if any misunderstanding remains, let the Ameri
cans be heard, and justice and equity take place,
let us be ruled according to the known principles
of cur excellent'conftitution, and command the
last Filling of cur property, and the last drop of
our blood in your service.
Uncertain as to the event of this our humble
representation, it affords us a relief, that we may
unrestrained apply to the great and merciful Sove
reign of the whole earth, who will not despise the
prayer of the oppressed, and to him we most ar
dently pray, that the wicked being taken away
from before the King, that the King's throne may
be established in righteousness.

Yesterday arrived here Capt. Hamilton, ineight
weeks fiom Liverpool, by whom we are informed,
that several transports had failed from England for
the port of Embden in Germany, to take in the
Hanoverian troops destined for America ; that se
veral other transports were fitting out at Spithead,
and other ports of the kingdom for the fame expe
dition. A large convoy of men of war are gett ng
in feadinefs to escort them hither, among which
were several (hips of the line. They may be ex
pe&ed this month on some part of our coasts.
By a gentleman lately from Belton, we learn that
Gage's^ bloody myrmidons are erefting barracks
for their winter quarters, on the Chaileftown fide.
It is not improbable but the brave General Putnam may
spoil the economy of their architecture ere long.
B Capt. Little, in eleven days from Chadefto n,
South-Carolina, we areinfetmed, that on the igth
of September, the commander of his M/°fty's (hio
Timur, and another armed vessel, pressed two of
Capt. Little's men, and two passengers, likewise
hands out of all the vessels they could come at, on
purpose to assist them in taking the cannon from
Fort Johnson, but could not effe& their design.
The Taraur's barge with a number of armed men
went on (here, spiked up some of the cannon, and
threw the carriages over the walls. Next morning
before day, about 500 of the militia took pos
session of the fort, and in a few hours had several of
the guns mounted again, and the fort is in good
repair. The TaraUr and the armed vessel very pru
dently withdrew from the reach of the cannon, and
fell farther down the harbour, where they now lay.
The Governor is on board one them.
