meTions with England, to caftan odium upon the
/dud of the court of France, by jeprefenting them
. her as the Support of a difeontended faction than
the generous ally of a brave and oppressed people,
to sow the feeds of diffention between His Molt
Rian Majesty and the United States of Ameri
y endeavouring to render them mutually jealous
cli other; and whereas by the arrival of Sir
Carleton in New-York as a commissioner for
ig peace or continuing the war in North-Ame
the dissolution of the British ministry, the ap
nent of a new administration, and the draught
)ill brought into the Britilli parliament to en
their King to conclude a peace or truce with
Inited States (by the description of the revolt
monies) there is great reason to believe that
- further prosecution of their laid insidious
1 of dividing in order to destroy us, they will
attempt to make overtures of pacification to
each of the United States, and propose terms of peace
mnildent with our alliance with His Mod Chri-
Ihan Majesty, and in derogation of our own so
vereignty and independence.
In order therefore to counteract the said artifices
of the enemy, and to evince to the whole world the
most spirited determination of the legislature of this
date, to receive or listen to no negociation whatfo
cver, that may be proposed by the court or ministry
of Great-Britain, or by their commissioner or com
missioners, or by any other person or perlons what
'er under their authority, except only thro' the
ervention of Congress, and to manifeft in the
cleared manner our firm and unalterable attachment
to the independence of this country, and our invi
olable regard to the faith which we have pledged
to each other and to our allies;
Resolved unanimously, That the legiftature of
this state is determined to exert the power of the
date to enable Congress to support the national in
dependence of America, and that whoever shall at
tempt to effect any pacification between these States
and Great- Britain, expressing or implying the lead
subordination or dependance of these United States
to or upon Great-Britain, or shall presume to make
any fepararion, or partial convention, or agreement
with the King of Great-Britain, or with any person
or persons anting under the crown of Great-Britain,
by what name or title soever, ought to be treated
as an open and avowed enemy of the United States
of America.
Resolved unanimously, That the delegates of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
are veiled with the exclusive authority to neat with
the King of Great-Britain, or commiffioneis by him
duly appointed, to negociate a peace between the
two countries.

Resolved unanimously, That altho' peace upon
honourable terms is an object truly desirable, yet
that war with all the calamities usually attending it,
is incomparably preferable to national difhonour and
vassalage, and that no event, however disastrous,
ought to induce us to violate in the lead degree our
connection with our great and generous ally, and
that no peace or truce can be made by these States
with Great-Britain, confident with godd faith, gra
titude or fafety, but in connexion with, and by the
consent of our great and g rod ally firß had and ob
tained.
Resolved unanimously, That the legiftature will
maintain, support and defend the sovereignty and in
dependence of this state with their lives and for
tunes, and will exert the power thereof to enable
Congress to prosecute the war until Great-Britain
shall renounce all claim of sovereignty over the U
nited States, or any part thereof, and until their
independence shall be formally or tacitly affuted
by a treaty with Great-Britain, France and the U
nited States, which alone can terminate the war.
