"We fee, with great fatisfadion, that your Majesty,
trusting in the Divine Providence, and in the justice
of your cause, is firmly resolved to prosecute the war
with vigour, and to make every exertion, in order to
compel our enemies to listen to equitable terms of
peace and accommodation. Such spirited and vigo

" M, Lords,
" J Thank you for this dutiful and loyal address.
1 The spirit and resolution with which you stand
f(frh in the national defence, and the support you
promise to the vigorous measures I am determined to
pursue, must tend to restore, upon fair and equitable
terms, that general tranquility, which I have ever
endeavoured to maintain ; and your attention to those
important objects I have recommended to you, will,
I doubt not, increase the general prosperity of all my
fubjeds, which is my constant and invariable aim.''
Tas humble ADDRESSof the House of Commons to
" We acknowledge, with thankfulnefs, your Ma
jesty's goodness and attention to the address of this
House, respecting your loyal and faithful kingdom of
Ireland, in being pleased to order such papers to be
communicated to this House, as may aflift our deli
berations on this important business: And we beg
leave to assure your Majesty, that we will not fail to
take into our consideration what farther benefits and
advantages may be extended to that kingdom by such
regulations, and such methods, as may molt effectu
ally promote the common strength, wealth, and in
terests of all your dominions.
" Permit us, Sir, to return our humble thanks to
your Majesty, for the gracious manner in which your
Majesty renews and confirms your entire approbation
of the good conduct and Ready discipline of the na
tional militia; and to assure your Majesty that we
concur most sincerely with your Majesty, in acknow
ledging and applauding the meritorious zeal and ser
vices of those loyal fubjeds who flood forth in the
hour of danger, and who have added confidence, as
well as strength, to the national defence.
" Your Majesty's faithful Commons receive with
gratitude, and take a sincere part in your Majesty's
paternal expressions of concern that the various and
e^tenfive services and operations of the ensuing year
must unavoidably be attended with great and heavy
expences : Yet, when it is considered how much the
commerce, the prosperity, and the fafety of Great-
Britain, depends on the issue of this contest, we
doubt not that such powerful considerations and mo
tives will induce all your Majesty's fubjeifts to sustain
with chterfulnefs and magnanimity, whatever bur
thens shall be found necessary for railing such supplies
as jnay enable your Majesty to prosecute the war with
vigour and effed, and to make every exertion in or
der to compel your enemies to listen to equitable
terms of peace and accommodation."

" MoJl Gracious Sovereign,
" IX7 E, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal sub-
VV jeds, the Commons of Great-Britain in Par
liament afiembled, beg leave to return your Majesty
the thanks of this House, for your most gracious
Speech from the Throne.
" We are truly sensible that, in the present arduous
situation of affairs, we are called upon by every prin
ciple and every sentiment of duty to your Majesty,
and to those we represent, to exert and unite our ut
inoft efforts in the fuppori and defence of our country
against a most unjust war, and one of the most dan
gerous confederacies that was ever formed against the
crown and people of Great-Britain.
" We fee and revere the goodness of Divine Pro
vidence in fruftrating and disappointing the deligns of
our enemies to invade this kingdom : And whenever
they att< mpt to carry their menaces into execution,
we trust that their attacks will be repelled, and their
enterprize defeated, by the blessing of the fame Pro
vidence on the valour and intrepidity of your Majes
ty's fleets and armies ; and that your Majesty's gra-,
cious and endearing declaration of your confidence in
the character and courage of your people will ,be juf
tified, by the most convincing proofs, that they are
still animated by the fame ardour and the fame spirit,
that have in former times carried this nation through
so many difficulties and dangers, and have so often
enabled their unceftors to protest their country and
all its dominions, and to save not only their own
rights, but the liberties of other free States, from the
restless ambition and encroaching power of the House
of Bourbon.

". From Albany we have the following intelligence,
which I believe may be depended upon. Some time
patt Gen. Schuyler tent four runners thro' the woods
into Canada ; when they got to Montreal they found
Col. Butler, with a considerable number of Indians
there, from Niagara. Butler finding himfelf unable
to fubtift them at any rate, was obliged to cross the
lake into Canada with the greater part The runners
staid examining matters 'till the Commandant of
Montreal got information of their being there, and
sent to his Indians to deliver them up to him as spies,
but they absolutely refufed; upon which he paraded
his troops, determining to take them, and difpoled
his garrison accordingly. —They were met by a party
who fired on them, killed one, the other three e
scaped by flight ; not however without meeting some
of their chiefs, who declared it was absolutely re
pugnant to their withes —that they would cause the
Britifli to give them fatisfadion for the killed as soon
as it was in their power. They further said, they
were tired of the Britifli —they had deceived them in
assurances that " they should be protected, and that
it was out of the power of the Americans ever to hurt
them :"—all which the event falfified.—Their habi
tations and subsistence totally destroyed, and they
forced to retire over the lakes for food, without any
profped tof gaining revenge or peace ; but should they
not be supported they would betray them for fatis
fadion."

" By letters of the 29th January last from General
Lincoln, at Charleftown, advice is received that part
of the British fleet which failed from New-York the
December before, has arrived at Tybee in Savannah
river. Two American frigates, stationed off Charles-
Town harbour, being sent out to examine the coart,
reconnoitred them and brought the intelligence with
a couple of prizes, picked up near them. It is sup
posed the remainder of the fleet will soon be there,
unless dispersed too wide by the stormy weather. No
account of the landing of any troops. The next dis
patches will probably bring something determinate
concerning the number, polition, and deligns of the
enemy."
