Mr. Cornwall next rose, and endeavoured to
apologize for the minister's condu&. He infilled,
that the present was not a proper time to enter into
any dil'cuffion relative to American affairs, that the
naval reclu&ion, lie presumed, was founded on good
and fubdAntial reasons; that, however, the motives
which gave birth to them, might vary with the cir
cumftahces; and that when the quettion concerning
Great-Britain and the colonies came in a parlia
mentary way before the House, every member
would then Be fully at liberty to deliver his sentiments,
and maintain his opinions.
Mr. Burke answered the gentlemen on the trea
sury bench in a very masterly manner, and was
extremly severe on the conduct of administration.
Among a variety of other things, he compared the
House of commons to a dead senseless mats, which
had neither sense, foul, or activity, but as it derived
them from the minister. If his Lordship chufes to
tell them one day, that America is in a ftaite little
iliort of actual rebellion, it is all very well ; if in a
few days after he acquaints them at second hand, that
he had no information whatever to authorize such an
aflertion, who can doubt his candour and his veracity ?
Both assertions dill remain uncontradi&ed, and all
mud be silence. We difpile the parliament, who are
our only proper and constitutional counfellors ; but
when we have blundered and ruined our affairs, per
haps beyond a possibility of redress, then we will
come to parliament to do what ?---to remedy what is
incurable, and to recover wh&can never be regained.
HOUSE of COMMONS, December,' 16.
Tne order of the day was new called, for the house
to go into a committee of supply ; and Sir Charles
Whitworth having taken the chair of the committee,
Lord Barrington moved that 17,5. 2 effective men be
employed for the land service, for the year, 1775. This
occasioned a long and interesting debate. Mr. Rose
Fuller began by desiring to be informed what forces
were employed in the Massachusetts-Bay, in New-
England.
Lord Barrington, tho' he said the question was un
vfual, replied 7 battalions, 5 companies, and 3 batta
lions more were on their destination, but not arrived
there. Mr. Fuller then observed, that if so large a
force was so necessary there,he hoped the reason would
appear by the Minifry's laying before the House, in
tite courle of this session of Parliament, the state of
affairs in North-America. Lord North answered,
that if no other member had made the motion, he
certainly fnould, for such was the unhappy Situation
of that country, that the affairs of America would
force themselves into Parliament ; he observed, that
the mealures he had advised the last sessions, had not
been attended with the fuccefshimfelf, and feme others
more Sanguine in them than himfelf, had expe&ed
from them; but that when the day appointed for
considering them came, and he Should move for a day
co purpose after the holidays, he did not doubt of
justifying them. Capt. Luttrell complained of the
absence of the country gentlemen upon this important
question, and said he was forty to find the number of
flamen reduced and not the army.
Mr. Thomas Townfhend wished to know, whether the
forces now required for the land and sea Service were all
that Ministry would require: If they thought themselves
strong enough with this force, for all events, in case of
no conciliation in America; if they declared this, he
would join in thanking them for the reductions, but not if
they meant afterwards on any pretence to alk further sup
plies and grants of Parliament, before the end of the
sessions.
Mr. Van, a member for Brecon, was nearly of the fame
opinion. Governor Johnftone seemed to think, that we
Should not have a fufficient force left in the kingdom if
rigorous measures were continued against America, to de
fend us against an invasion; and said, that it would be
very practicable, if ever a rising genius in France Should
seriously set about it; and then introduced a comparison
between America and Ireland ; this enlarged the debate,
ana extended it digressively from the motion before the
committee, to American affairs.
An expression dropped from a Member, seeming to
reflect on Lord North, as if he had said, America
Jbould be brought at ourjeet ; his Lordship, with be
coming dignity and coolness, vindicated himfelf, and
defiled that when an expression, liable to misrepre
sentation, fell from any of the Members, they might
be explained in the House, and complained of the
cruelty of mil repiefenting them out of doors, as well
as the milchief they occalioned, particularly fpeci
bing such ape ice of injustice in an American pam
phlet. He acknowledged he had made use of the
words above-mentioned, or to that effect, in a ses
sion of the lad Parliament, when the Bbftonians had
resolved on a ron-importation plan to force Great-
B stain to lepeal certain a&s of parliament, but he
had explained them to the fatisfa&ion of the whole
House before he left it, and therefore thought it un
generous th,at it Should be mentioned again. As to
the question, if the forces now demanded were fuffi
cient ? he declared they were, unless from the conduct
of the other colonies it lhould.be judged necessary to
extend the line with refpe& to them ; in which case
it would not. Mr. Charles Fox moved to have the
American papers laid before the House, previous to
the day of taking the affairs of that country into
consideration ; and then the question being called
for, this and Sundry other Supplies were agreed to.
pat there were 4.000 seamen voted Hie present lefts
than the proceeding year, notwithstanding the speech
from the throne announced the cry critical and alarm
ing filiation of affairs in America. This was a
conduct he could by no means reconcile; for taking
the speech to have been framed upon right information,
as calling for measures of a spirited decisive nature,
what fort of correspondence there was between the
contents of the speech and the naval establishment,
was more than he could possibly discover. But were
he to declare his sentiments, he feared it would be
found to be a mere ministerial trick. A forming
estimates in the firft instance, that were never intended
to be adhereed to, or rather designed as mere waste
paper, and afterwards furprize and drive the house
into grants of a very improper and burdensome
nature. Such being his suspicions, for his part, he
said, he could not face his constituents without
previously knowing what he mud tell them, both in
relation to farther burdens and what was involved
in such an enquiry, if compulsive measures were
really intende^to be pursued towards the Americans ;
for to talk of enforcing she a&s upon a reduced
eftablifliment, either naval or military, was a fort of
language fit to be held only to children.
Lord Beauchamp said, that the noble Lord who
spoke last had communicated to him that morning
his intentions of moving something on the fubje&
matter of the present conversation ; that he had
accordingly apprized the noble Lord who presides at
the Treasury therewith ; and, that his Lordship had
authorized him to acquaint the house, that he had no
informations whatever to lay before it, nor measures
to propose refpe&ing America. He was therefore of
opinion, that as the noble Lord was indisposed and
absent, it would be better, particularly as there was
a very thin house, to suspend all further solicitude,
till his Lordship should have an opportunity of fully
explaining the motives of his conduct in person.
Mr. G^INE,
Be pleased to insert the following in your next Gazette:
The public may depend that a great number of the
inhabitants of Dutebefs County have fubferibed it,
and great numbers are daily adding their names.
" ''" Jubferibers being defrous to convince
VV mankind that ave are firmly attached to our
most happy conjiitution, and are disposed to fapport and
maintain peace and good order under bis Majeffs|
government, do therefore declare, that our fovereign<
lord king George the third, is the only sovereign to
nvbom Briiijb America may, can, or ought to owe and
bear true aridfaithful allegiance, and that there is no
legal power yr authority therein but what is duly l
derived from him ; that our representatives in General !
Assembly convened, are the only guardians of our rights
and liberties -, that without them no laws can here be
made to bind us, and that they only are the channel
through which our grievances can properly be refere
fented for redress, and that to Jupport their right and
authority, we do hereby afociate and mutually covenant
and 3@ge to and nuitb each other as follows, namely:
Firlt. That we will upon all occafionsfiand by and
ass each other in the defence of bis life, liberty and
property, whenever the fame fbali be attacked or
endangered by any bodies of men riotoufy ajembled,
upon any pretence or under any authority whatsoever,
not warranted by the laws of the land.
Second. That we will upon all occafan, mutually
support each other in the free exercise and enjoyment of
our undoubted right to liberty, in eating, drinking,
buying, filling, communing and aiding what, with
whom, and as we ,lease, confident with the laws of
God, and the laws of the land, notwitbflanding the
association entered into by the Continental Congress to
the contrary.
Lastly. Tbat we will endeavour to promote, encou
rage, and when called to, enforce obedience to the
rightful airtbority of our most gracious sovereign king
George the third, and the laws which can, do, or may
conflitutionally extend to, or in the Britifb colonies in
America.
In witness whereof we have hereunto set our bands,
this eighteenth dap of January, in the fifteenth year of
the reign of our feuereign lord George the third, by the
grace of God of Creat-Britain, France and Ireland,
king; defender of the faith,^c. and in the year of our
lord Cbrift, 1775.
We hear that a late Protest has given more real
uneafinels to a Great Personage, than the whple
of the city addresses put together. The latter he
only bore his part in, as they remonstrated againSt
government in general ; this he feels personally.
The EXCISEMAN who was tarred and feathered
at Boston, and lately arrived in England, has obtained
a pension of zool. a year. :&
The parliament will adjourn 'on Friday the zgd,
inst. and meet again on the 18th of January.

NOTICE is hereby given to

siderable Saving to those tliat incline to perpetuate their

Governor Johnitone having in the course of his
speech mentioned something of a comparison between
the state of America and Ireland, Lord Clare was
very warm in reply ; and was followed in the fame
spirit by Sir William Mayne. They were both an
swered by Mr. Rigby and Mr. Fox, who contended
generally, that the supreme power of the state has a
right to exercite a power of legislation over ever part
and parcel of the British empire.
Dec. 17. Were the people of America once clearly
quit of their prejudices, or rather their affection to
this country, how evidently muff it appear to be their
interest to trade with France, who take their corn,
filh, ftaves, hoops, and every kind of produce, and
in return give them cheap eloathing either for winter
or summer, together with wine, oil, fruit, &c. &c.
The Ministry, it is said, are much offended with
General Gage. They certainly have great reason ;
for he has most grievously disappointed them. They
had great hopes of throwing the blame upon him ;
but he acting upon the defenfive, has thrown it upon
them.
The PARTNERSHI P

all thole who are indebted to them are requested to
make immediate payment to George Folliot, or John
Moore; and all those who have any accounts against said
partnership, are desired to fend them in, that they may
