' That the continuing this diabolical war must end
jin our ruin and confufion, is, 1 think, very evident
.to all the world. The accident which seemed to be
To very favourable to our hopes, has turned out a
(fad proof of the contrary: Ihe soldiers who left
:Washington's army in disgust have manifefted them
'felves, notwithstanding their secession, firm friends
^ the cause of America. Could British soldiers
d' ave aCted on better principles than these men? Can
ftwe produce an instance parallel to it? 1 hey return
er o their duty or the redress of their grievances, and
th ey surrendered up those men who tried to seduce
oem into the British service. We have loft the
earts of the Americans, arid never shall be able,
1 fear, to regain them The colonies wanted no
fi hing but money, and our humane Scotch Ministers
pLave declared war with the Dutch in order to fup
rrolv them. They may talk, if they please, of dif
tlfo ering the plan of a treaty, entered into between
"the Americans and the merchants of Amsterdam,
ft they have not pretended to have discovered any
a< tfmg like a loan from the states of Holland, to the
foftates of America; but I will venture to prophecy,
Wrthat they will soon hear of a very large one from
hathat quarter, which will enable Congress to cloathe
G Mieir troops, to pay them regularly, and to carry
Al m the war with efficient vigour, as well as refolu

from the London Publick Adrertifer, March 2.
SIR,
• D LITICIANS of all nations are, I be-
I lieve, agreed, That Russia at this conjuncture
'3the most powerful state of Europe. The House
f Bourbon, in all its united branches, may justly
ay claim to the next rank in power. The two
;reat German Potentates, the Emperor, and the
<ing of Prussia, will, from their situation, ambition,
tnd opposite views, perpetually watch each other's
notions; one of them will not espouse any of the
belligerent parties, without a resolution to oppose
,nd thwart the views of the other. Mutual cauti
on will in all probability keep them put of the fray;
lor will the Empress of Russia be diverted from her
orefent system of maintaining an equal right to the
navigation of the seas: By which is meant the not
exposing her vessels to be searched under this fup
polition, that free /hips make free bottoms. In this
plan of a Mare Liberum, so learnedly contended for
oy the great Grotius, againit our Selden, in his
Mare Claufum, she is supported by the two northern
powers; to which'at last the Dutch have acceeded.
[ have honoured some of our wifell Ministers, with
the supposition that they willingly gave into the /hal
low and rapacious views of the Scotch cabinet, in
declaring hostilities against the Dutch, with an al
most certain profpedt of putting an end to this sa
vage and unnatural war with our old American
Fiends: I have said that the Empress of Russia will
ponfider the Dutch as fufferers for their becoming
parties to the combined neutrality ; and though this
treat princess will do nothing precipitately, but try
ill fair methods to prevail upon our court to hear
t : to reasonable terms, before she proceeds to ex-
C enjties, yet it may be depended upon that she will
rioted the Dutch, and oblige us to do them ju
cf
tee.
We have been unhappily driven by an inordinate
' 1 of power, and an arbitrary scheme of levying
a ?s upon the colonies, unfounded in justice, poli
fo or even expedience. America is now become
cl . grave of Britons. We have tried every art of
m aelty and cajolement; nay, we have at last done
™nit fhouid have been tried several years since.
f^e have renounced, by a pubiicle declaration of
pir Henry Clinton, all right of taxation; but at
she fame time that we confefs our errors, that we
&Lo!Hh all parliamentary ads of grievance and op
hreOion, and renounce all claims to internal impoits,
r which we plainly confefs that we have been in
'ne wrong, and hereby juftitied their remittance ;
S fay, after all this, even in our invitation to peace
find concord, we stile them by the odious name of
Sebels ! How absurd and ridiculous is such a con
f.ud!
TAKEN up by the subscriber on Monday the
4th instant, at Raritan Landing, a brown
HORSE, about fourteen hands high, a natural
pacer, without any artificial mark, about five years
old. The owner is requested to come and prove
property, pay charges and take him away.
