To the CALEDONIA N.
S I R,
I Congratulate you on the glorious profpedt which
now opens to the view of the poor, distressed,
starving, rack-rented tenants 'in the Highlands of
Scotland ; to the view of some hundred thousands dis
banded soldiers, discarded seamen, artificers with
out employment, labourers without work, female
servants out of place, and all descriptions of men
in this country, this ruined and forlorn country !—
America, the fertile plains of Independent America
invites you thither : The Earl of Shelburne has ge
nerously provided an asylum for all who are weary
and heavy laden, for all who have too much rent and
burdensome taxes to pay : T i e pride and insolence
of Engiifh Dukes, Earls, Lords and 'Squires, must
now lick the dust. The Earl of Shelburne has laid
the ax to the root of the tree, and humbled the
haughty indeed ; that all overborne Englishmen may
desert a land which holds out to them nakedness,
I want and penury, and emigrate to America, flow
ing with milk and honey. Such, is now, the happy
profpe6t before all who struggle with adverfc fortune
in England : Shelburne has opened the door to your
happiness ; will you hesitate one moment to walk
into the blifsful mansion?
All mouths shall speak of Shelburne the great ;
the extensive proprietors ofland shall curfchim ; but
the commonalty, the people, shall sing forth his
praise, when the once fertile glebes in Britain bring
forth only briars and thorns for want of inhabitants.

NEW-YOR K, May 3.
Letters received from London, dated the 14th of
March, intimate, that, since Lord Shelburne resigned
the guidance of the helm, no Minister had been ap
pointed for fourteen days. The Duke of Devon
shire was much talked of as Viceroy of Ireland, and
Lord Loughborough for Lord High Chancellor; he
will be the firft North Briton who has held the seals;
Lord Mansfield never would accept of that depart
ment, knowing the uncertainty of a continuance in
it ; but the noble Wedderburne has hitherto proved
invincible to all faction, and may remain unmoved
in that dignified station, to the lafi syllable of his
Lordfllip's exiftencfy
May 5.
Tuesday last the brig Royal Midshipman arrived
here in 22 days from Tortola: Letters by this ves
sel inform, that a number of merchantmen with Weft-
India produce, had lately failed from that 'ifland for
the continent of America.
Sunday the 27th ult. failed from Sandy-Hook a
fleet consisting of ships, brigs, hoops and schooners,
to the amount of 75, for Nova-Scotia, with many
thousands of settlers for that Province.

laid on any vessels bound to America, from any part
of England.
The ship Abby was to fail from Liverpool for
this port soon after the Tonyn.
PHILADELPHIA, May 7.
Saturday last Brigadier-General Clark, with a num
ber of other officers, arrived in town from New-York,
we are informed, for the purpose of conducing the
British prisoners into that city. Five hundred
marched from the New-Gaol yesterday morning, and
the last division, consisting of about the fame num
ber, will march this morning.
Thursday last arrived here the ship Hawk, Capt.
John Bull, in 45 days from 'Marfeilles, but last in
35 days from Gibraltar, into which port he was
obliged to go, by contrary winds. He was received
at Gibraltar with the greatest politeness, and the
greatest attention shewn him by the Generals Elliot
and Boyd; and the marine officers in that port, be
ing the firft American vc-ffel that had'arrived there,
and displayed the thirteen Gripes, since the revo
lution.
Captain Bull informs, that about the latter end of
February, the island of Sicily was visited with a dread-'
ful shock of an earthquake, in which a great part of
the town of Meffina, with a number of the neigh
bouring villages were destroyed, and net less than
10,000 persons perifhede—The shock was felt for 50
leagues along the coait on the main, opposite to Si
cily.
Letters from Antigua mention, that there has been
so very little rain in that and the neighbouring islands,
that all kinds of herbage is burnt up, and their crop
is almost destroyed; io that it is computed in the
island of Antigua, where almost every year they made
20,000 hogsheads of sugar, they will not make above
3,000 this year.
Since our last arrived here the cutter Charming
Molly, Bateman, frem Oftend ; the cutter Two Bro
thers, Major, from Dover; the brig Hedor, Hardy,

niola, with a caigo of sugar, coffee,. &c. is in our
river, and may be expected up this day.
Extract of a letter from New-York, dated April 29.
" Several persons made application to re-possess
their houses now vacant by the refugees embarking,
but were all refufed ; and it was alledged they would
not 'have them, until the loyalists were restored to
their estates."

Somerset, April 28, 1783.
The field officers of this county having fixed upon
Saturday the 26th inst. for the celebration of peace,
the two battalions of militia, the artillery and troop
of horse, assembled at 10 o'clock in the morning,
agreeably to orders, at Mount-Pleafaut, near Van-
Veghter's bridge. His Excellency the Governor, a
great number of gentlemen from this and the neigh
bouring counties, and a splendid assembly of ladies,
attended on the joyful occafiod. On the summit of
the hill an elegant and spacious bower had been pre
viouily built, under the direction of Captain Van-
Aarfdalen, whole taste and ingenuity, displayed thro'
the whole of this romaiitick RruCture, gained uni
versal applause. Before the centre of the bower the
American flag was splendidly displayed. The troops
were firlt reviewed by His Excellency the Governor,
who was pleased to express great fatisfaftion with
their martial appearance. The proclamation, declar
ing a cessation of hostilities, was then read in front
of the line, and was succeeded by loud acclamations,
and a difeharge of thirteen rounds of artillery and
musketry, concluding with a well executed running
fire. The troops were next formed in a circle about
the flag-ftaff, and an excellent sermon, adapted to'
the Qccafion, was preached by the Reverend Mr.
Freyligh. After divine service the quarteimafters is
sued to the troops a plentiful supply of liquor which
had been provided for them. His Excellency the
Governor, the officers of the militia, and a great
number of other gentlemen, fat down to a cold col
lation in the bower; and the remainder of the day
was spent both within and without the arbour with
great joy and feftivity. After the repast the fol
lowing thirteen toads were drank, accompanied se
verally by a difeharge of artillery, &c.

nerations.

4. The United Netherlands; and all other powers

ous to the cause of freedom throughout the
world.
11. The 4th of July, 1776. May it be a memento
to tyranny, and teach mankind to revere them
selves.
12. May that virtue which stood on the rock of
firmnefs when adversity lowered, hand the more
dangerous intoxication of prosperity.
13. May those sons of America, who deserted
her in the gloom of adversity, never enjoy the
sunshine of her prosperity.
