CHARLESTOWN, May 29.
ON Monday last arrived here, the Lugger Adventure, John
M'Carty, Master, in 47 days from Corke.
Yesterday arrived here the schooner Spitfire, • M'Neil,
Master, from New-York ; and to-day the Hoop John, from the fame
place ; also the brig Peggy, — Morrison, Master, belonging to
Clafgow, but last from Corke. She left the latter place about ten
weeks ago, in company with a large fleet bound for the Weft-indies,
which flic parted from on the 26th of last month.
For some days past a rumour has been current here of an ap
proaching peace between Great-Britain and her Colonies. Certainly
nothing can be more interesting to all ranks of people, than such an
event; nothing therefore could have more forcibly occupied the pas
sions of us all, that the late expectation of its soon taking place. As
from the vague and uncertain manner in which the rumour has
reached us, only the great outline of the figure has been given, each
of us has filled up the intermediate space ash ; s hopes or fears influ
enced his imagination;—We have in general heard, that there is to be
a Peace; the conditions we ourselves have framed, from the sugges
tions of onr own paffions.—'fill we are furnifhed therefore with
more certain grounds of forming a judgment on this head, the fol,
lowing extract from a late speech of the Earl of Shelburne, while in
the Minority, is submitted to the consideration of our Readers. It
is almost fuperfluous here to observe, that the Earl of Shelburne is
now the Minister in Britain, to whose management every thing that
regards America is particularly committed.
In the debate in the House of Lords, in February last, on the
Duke of Chandos's motion to enquire into the cause of the lofs^f the
army commanded by Earl Cornwallis, objections were made to the
terms in which it was couched; it being contended, that they
amounted to a recognition of American Independence; the Earl of
Shelburne then said, that he would be one of the firft men in that House
.who would rife th oppose such a recognition, and scout so improper an
idea out of the House. His principles on the fubjeC twere well
known ; he had repeated them from year to year in their Lor Ifhips
hearing, that he never would consent, under any possible given cir
cumstances, to acknowledge the independence of America. He knew
those ideas, both within and without doors, were in some measure
unpopular, but he preferred the performance of his duty, and the
difeharge of his confeience, to every other consideration. He was
known to differ from his molt intimate friends and refpc&ablc con
nections on the fubjeCf
A letter received to-day, by a gentleman of this pHce, from a re
fpeCtable correspondent in New-York, mentions the following speech
to have been made by his Majesty to his new Ministry : —" Fil!
every office with your friends, rule me, govern my kingdoms on the
condition of making a peace honourable for my crown with my re
volted fubje&s in America, or bring them to obedience.'
This evening, as this paper was going to press, the brig Balfour,
Capt. Stuart, arrived here in seven week from Cowes. We infrt
with pleasure, what gives us every reason to behove, that neither
American Independence will be recognifed, nor the friends of Eritifh
Government in this country deserted, by the present Ministry of
England.
Extraff of a Letter from London, dated 6th April.
" We are in the higher expectations from the change of the Mi
jniftry.—This much you bray depend on, that the independence of
America will not be ratified by this Government. Should America
refufe terms short of independence, it is difficult to fay in what man
ner Britain will carry on the war; though I am of opinion, that for
a time it will be on the defenfive, ano spiritedly offenfive against the
French and Spaniards, whilst we hive some hopes of negotiating a
peace with Hollands-—The Admirals of the firft di ?in&ton are now
employed, and perfect unanimity appears amongst the people ;—the
late Ministers, like good and great men, declare that they will do
every thing in theirpp- r er to pr mtc r hat unanimity in the corners
of the nation, which they were so unfuccrf . , in. during their being
in office —I think we have every thing to hope from the change.—
Remember this, the independence of America will not be ratified by
this Government."
DEAT H. Mr. John Morrison, Affifta^t Commissary of
Provisions.
QUCIj inhabitants of this town as have not hitherto obtain-
O ed tickets for their negroes, agreeable to an order of the Ho
nourable Board of Police, are desired to call for them at my office,
