Majesty they are called commissioners impowered to
grant general or particular pardons, and indemnities
in Inch manner and to such perlons as they shall
think fit. He also adds, in case that any colony
Jbould be disposed tofubmit (difpairingof success in the
present opposition) in consequence of the great
fleet and army which his Majesty has so greatly
augmented: by taking into his service a part of his
Electoral troops, and which is then to act against
us, then theie Commiflioners shall have authority
to receive the submission of such province or colony,
which shall be so dilpoled to return to its allegiance;
and to reftorC to it the free exercise of its trade and
commerce. “ The ad of parliament which is laid
to authorife the Commissioners to treat with the
people of America, provided* it be the Prohibi
tory a& (and as no perlon has been bold enough to
I;t y, that there is anotherdor that Special purpole,
I take it for granted, that this is the ad so much
talked of) wliich is now made public, and from
the very title, as well as from tenor and conse
quences of it, tends to alienate, divide, and en
tirely feperate us from Great-Britain; no longer
Viewing us as joint fubjefts. How absurd a falfe
hood then to declare that, there are such
perfon r Commit.oners coming to treat with
A^f. ? to heal our differences, and to restore to
us r liberty, or to lecure to posterity the privi
ledges of Englishmen.,
In the a& of parliament before alluded to, there
is not one word to this effed, neither is it in sub-
Hance any more than what the King has declared
in his speech of the 27th October lall; in which he
assures his Lords and Commons that, he hath,ful
ly opened to them his views and intentions, and
then adds, “ I shall give authority to certain per
lons on the fpet, to grant general or particular
pardons and indemnify :" but not a word of fend
ing over Commiflioners to treat with America, to
effect a reconciliation upon constitutional principles;
nay, on the contrary, Governor Tryon has inform
edthe people of.New-York, that “he has it in com
mand from the King to encourage, by every means
in his power, the expectations of his Maje Hy's well
dilpofcd Subjects in that government, of every assist
ance and protection the date of Great-Britain will
enable his Majelty to afford them." Governor
Martin, also, in his commtiffion of the 10th January,
1776, to Allan McDonald and others; after fetcinh
forth that, by virtue of the powers and authorities
in him veiled,by his MajeHy, he thereby comrnif
hons, autlioiizes and impowers thole persons, to.
railed L b y, mutter and array in arms, for the nur
pofe of subduing the rebellion, &c. and then adds,
to the en^that the people who have been deluded
into rebellion, may be made fcnfible it is Majesty's
most gracious and royal intention, and my earned
desire, to reclaim them to a proper sense of their
duty and obedience to lawful government, without
involving the country into the horrors of a civil
war, if by timely and dntifui /fijmtfoz?, they make
such extremities avoidable.
But to retiun, if we examine the translations of
parliament, in orckr to discover what powers are
giien tkv Commuhoners now laid to be coming
out; we fhailTud that his Majesty, having declared
his intentions of granting commiftions, for the
purpose of pardoning s uc h" persons as might choose
to xubrint to cite Comindiioners, the parliament, bv
virtue of a chiufe in the Prohibitory ad “ makes
Lwhil for any perron -or persons authorized by
Ins Majek,, to grant a pardon or pardons to anv
numuu cude;ci:puc>n of persons, by proclamation
111 his htdjvdys name, to declare any colonv or
province, colonies or provinces, or any county,
port, ctiL:iti or place, in any colony or province
to be at the peace of his Majesty." " Now for the
Conmnbmners to do any ' thing more than this is
not lawful, ror would the parliament be bound
thereby; this chum, and it ri the only ciaufe rela
tive 10 CommiGoners, gives them not the lead pow
er to treat with America, on pay other tei msthan
by our diced and absolute submission, without re
'X'™; "'' " h ' s '^j^ygr^t to such Commit,
