A bill for fettling an unalterable compact between
this country and America for the future government
and tranquility of the latter country, is new under
the confederation of the cabinet. A certain noble
Lord in office, who has planned the bill, is to make
the motion the second week after the meeting of
parliament. The general object of the proposed re
gulation is to put the Americans on the fame footing
of freedom, and under the fame advantages, with
the rest of his Majesty's fubje&s. The whole conti
nent is to bedivided into large diftri&s ? each of which
is to fend a representative to the British parliaments
The number of representatives at firft is to be ren
dered proportionable to the revenue that is expelled
to be railed by the introduction of the fame laws of
custom and excise, and the fame privileges of trade
prevailing in Great-Britain. In propoition as that
revenue shall encreafe, their number is te be enlarged.
But provision is to be made, that at no period that
number shall exceed one sixth part of the House of
Commons. Inconsequence of this regulation, all
the governments fubfitting in America, except Ca
nada, are to be dissolved. No governor, nocouncil,
no assembly for the future 1 for as all the inhabitants
of the British empire have (to use a metaphor) but
ONE fold, they are to have but one shepherd.
Boards of Custom and Excise are to be eftablilhed 111
places thought the inoft convenient; and Courts of
Justice possessing the fame powers within their ref
peftive jurisdictions with those of the King's Bench
and Exchequer in England, are to be erected in the
fnoft centrical fixations ; and the mode of appeal,
as here, is to be the Houle of Lords. In short, every
regulation now exiting, calculated to keep up a
diftindion, is to be removed. The A&s of the
American assemblies are to be entirely abrogated,
and the law of England is to take place every where
except in Canada. To prevent inconveniencies, a
gainst which the law of England does not always
provide, an aft is to be passed comprehending all the
necessary and local regulations contained in the a&s
of the different municipal legislatures of America.
In a few days all the particulars of this very import
ant bill, ?will be printed.

An Evening Paper fays, authentic Intelligence

Garrison in Ticonderoga, and was in full March

If the Cleathing and Arms from England, arrive

the Hands of the Provincials. General Carleton is

Extract of a Letter from Plymouth, Sept. 1,.
" We learn here, by the sick and wounded soldi
ers who are landed, that there is not above 2000
soldiers, including officers, at Boston, fit to do duty,
and these are averse to the service. They declare,
that 60,000 men would not be able to bring the Ame
ricans under fubjedion. They further fay, that the
provincials used the prisoners so well, that most of
them desire to continue where they are. All the sol
diers speak well of the Americans for their great
humanity. In fliert, many whs were against the
Americans, are now in favour of them."
In future times it will be asked, how fuel ) a sepa
ration happened, as that between England and
America ? Nor will it ever be remembered, without
fUemn execrations on the framers and perpetrators of
the difunioft, The old ^ wffi ffiake their b^ds

power, and enmity to Liberty, generally, and in
particular in America, made a wretched administra

and lose the fubitance."

" This day the tranfpbrt from Bellen came Into Cat

hardly ever wery Seen fuck objeds! forne without
legs, and others, without arms; and their cloaths
hanging on like a loose morning gown, so much are
they fallen away by sickness, and want of proper
nourishment. There were near fifty women and
children on board, widows, and children of the men
who were (lain; Some of these I have met in the
(fleet, and they exhibit a most (hocking fpe&acle;
and the veflel itfelf, I am told, though a very large
one, yet is almost intolerable, from the Stench arising
frem the sick and wounded, for many of them are
hardly cured yet. There are two more transports
daily expected with invalids, who failed from Boston
with the above. 'Tis a hardship (which the nature
of the service cannot, perhaps, immediately relieve)
for the men to remain on board till an order from the
War Office arrives for their debarkation here."
Notices are ordered to be (tuck up in all the Royal
Dock-yards of this kingdom, to prevent the emigra

Tobis Excellency WILLIAM FRANKLIN, Esq;
Captain-General, Governor and Commander in Chief, in
and over the Province of New-Jersey, and Territories
thereon depending in America, Chancellor and Vice-Ad
miral in the fame, &c.
The Humble ADDRESS of his Majesty's Council
for the said Province.
May it please your Excellency,
WE beg Leave to express the Satisfaction we feel
in the Opportunity you have given us of meet
The Congress at Philadelphia is the representative
of the people ; and if government treat with the
Congress, it is not with the whole ? The Americans
look on them in the light of States-General, and
obey their advices with a religious observance. This,
administration has been advised of. Is not some
times expediency adopted, where form would only
widen a breach I And can any expedient be refufed,
where the apparent welfare, and it is not unlikely,
the very essence of the empire depends ? Utility,
though unobserved, is in government what fliould
be never loft fight of, as, in spite of every thing to
the contrary, it will takeplace; and What is essential
in its effe&s to maintain the empire, Should always
be attended to.
Commerce, that nursery for feameh, without which
no nation can be a maritime power, though possessed
of all the materials for (hipping, Should be treated
like a coy mistress, or the most favoured wife, as
the (Length of our fleets consists and exists in our
commerce, either at home or extended. Once cramp
ed, or treated harshly, (he will retire to feme other,
who will use her better, and is Seldom known to
return.
The unnecessary, unhappy dispute, between Great-
Britain and the colonies, has at a Stroke deprived us
of one-fourth of the commerce of the British em
pire : And if Mr. Glover's statement is right, made
at the bar of the House of Commons hfl year, the
thing is beyond doubt. What is to result from this,
but a diminution of power, and is an extraordinary
effort to ruin ourselves ? The vast Atlantic ocean is
an invincible bar to our success ; and the enthusiastic
bravery of the Americans, will convince our mini^
dry's understandings, by knocking the soldiers brains
out, that arms at such a distance cannot prevail,
where every supply on a defeat muff be from Great-
Britain, at 3200 irrles distance, where every man is
atoe ;, and their troops cannot place a foot but on
hostile ground. But armier are the delight of ad
ministration ; and as they Ship off, or rather trans
port the national troops, foreign troops from Ger
many, that Country of tyrannic Sway and arbitrary
rule, will be poured in upon us.
Thirteen Surgeons have received orders to embark
for Boston by the firft (hip that fails for that Port.
Yesterday some inftru&ions that had passed the
Great Seal, were sent from the Secretary of State's
Office for Portsmouth, to be forwarded from thence
for the different Governors in North-American
big far Excellency in General Affemhly, at this Tim?,
for the Difetch of such Business as the Exigencies of
the Province require ; and thank you for that freedom
with which you communicate to us, from Time to Time,
such Parts of the Letters you receive from His Ma
jesty's Ministers, as may be of Consequence to the Wel
fare of this Province.
Gentlemen,
IR E TUR N you my Thanks for your Reflation to sup
port His Majesty's Government, and cannot but approve
your Determination te promote Peace and good Order.
Ifhall avoid, for the Reasons I gaveyou in my Speech, any
Remarks on your Sentiment rejpekling the present unhappy
Situation of public Affairs, and fall transmit to His Majefy
your Opinion of the Resolution of the House of Commons —
Thus much, however, I would only observe, that if you really
thought, or fill think that the making that Resolution the BaJis
of a Negotiation, would not have led to some Plan of Accom
modation, on Terms that Americans have heretofore fokmnly
and repeatedly declared would give them full Content, then you
have been and dill are greatly mistaken.
Hour Surprize that any Persons could advise me to seek an
Asylum, when so many Governors and Crown Officers bad been
before ampelkd ty de the like, 4 q CTr^rdinary as your Sup.
It is with the greatest Pleasure 'we assure your Excel
lency, that we know of no Reason to doubt but that the
Confidence you are pleased to fay you have in the Affec
tion and Regard of the. good People of this Colony is
well founded. We are lorry, however, to observe that,
notwithstanding this Confidence and Trust, your Excel
lency expresses some Degree of Appreheafion as to the
Safety of your own Person and the Persons of the other
Officers of the Crown. We can, with Truth, declare,
that we are totally ignorant as to any Circumstances, in
this Province, that may give Rife to such an Apprehen
sion, and are happy in believing that it must be without
any real Foundation.
You are pleased to call en us for an explicit Declaration
Of our Sentiments rejecting those Aims at an Indepen
dent en Great-Britain, which, you fay, are at this Time
openly avowed by feme Men of present Contequense :
In Amfwer to which, we make no Hefiratien to allure
your Excellency, that we have the utmoß Abhorrence of
any Design whatever ts subvert that happy Constitution
of Government, under which, not only this, but every
other Colony in America, hath long enjoyed the Bles
sings of Security and Piofperity ; and that we will, by
every Means in our Power, exert ourselves in the De
fence of it, and in Defence of your Excellency and the
other Officers of the Crown, anting under the Influence
and by Virtue of that inestimable Confli ution.
of the said Colony in General Afiembly convened.
May it pleafeyour Excellency,
WE his Majed's loyal and dutiful Subjedls, the
Representatives of the Colony of New-Jersey,
in General Aflembly convened, have considered your Ex
cellency's Speech at the Opening o£ the present Session.
We sincerely lament the unhappy Situation of public
Aftafrs; and we regret, that tho' we have presented a
dutiful Petition to his Majesty, yet we have little Prof
pe<ft for his favourable Interposition for the Removal of
those Grievances under which we fuffer in common with
his other American Subjects..
There is nothing we desire with greater Anxiety than
a Reconciliation with our Parent State on Constitutional
Principles ; but if the Resolution of the House of Com
mons of the 20th of February could, without departing
from the Duty we owe to ohr Constituents, have been ac
cepted, or made the Basis of a Negotiation, which would
probably have led to any-Plan of Accommodation, we
have been and Bill are greatly mistaken.
We are furprized to hear that any Persons could have
advised your Excellency to have fought an Asylum on
board of one of his Majesty's Ships: We cannot imagine
that your Excellency could have had any just Reason to
fear any Insult or improper Treatment from the People
of the Colony ; and if your Retreat would necessarily be
attributed to either the EffeQ or well-grounded Appre
hensions sf Violence, and be productive of Mifehiefs to
the Inhabitants, however such Advisers may deserve to
be esteemed your " best Friends," we cannot suppose
them to be really so to the Colony.
Your Excellency's Safety, or that of any of the Officers
of Government, we apprehend to be in no Danger. We
place our own Safety in that Protection which the Laws
of our Country and the executive Powers of the Govern
ment afford to all the King's Subjects. It is the only
Asylum which we have to fly to ; and we make no Doubt
but that it will be, as it hitherto hath been, found fully
equal to the Putpofe both of securing. your Excellency
and others : And we hope to find that the Officers of Go
vernment will conduct themselves so prudently as not to
invite any 111-usage; and that they will not make any
supposed “ Infatuation or Disorder" of the Times a Pre
tence to leave the Province, and thereby endeavour to
fubjeft the Inhabitants to any Calamities.
We know of no Sentiments of Independency that are
by Men of any Confequerice openly avowed ; nor do we
approve of any Eflays tending to encourage such a Mea
sure. We . have already expressed our Detestation of such
Opinions, and we have so frequently and fully declared
oar Sentiments on this Subject, and in particular in our
Petition to the King at the last Sellion of Assembly, that
we should have thought ourselves, as at present we really
deserve to be, exempt from all Suspicion of this Nature.
We have already resolved to support his Majesty's
Government, and look upon it to be our Duty to use our
Influence to promote Peace, Order, and good Govern
ment.

CORTLANDT SKINNER, Speaker.
House of Assembly, Nov. 29, 1775.
To which the Governor was pleased to return the follow
ing Answer.
Gentlemen,
I^4 M greatly obliged to you for the Sentiments of Regard
exyrtfed in this Address, and heartily thank you so r tfoe
Afarancesyou give ^e of your Readiness to eXertyourjelves in
the Defence of wr ba,,y lorfitution, and of tbe Officers of
. the Croton in this Province.
Ai thefame Time ft grots me Concern that I cannot agree
nvith you in Opinion, that there are not any citcumhances in
this Province, which may fffy some degre of Apprehen
fios as to the Safety of myfelf and the other Officers of Govern
men. It is true 1 bate not actually ^n the Associations /tgned,
nor the Orders and Resolutions of Cengrtffa or Committees
[feed, yet I cannot on that account, without being guilty of a
Subterfuge, which Gentlemen of your Candor must ufaffrove,
pretend a total Ignorance either of their contents or of their
Effects, both in this and the neighbouring Colonies. From
what has already happened, the Officers of the Crown vid be
naturally led to form a Judgment of what may happen.
Such of them, therefore, as have confcientioujly done their
Duty here, mufi of Course have some Reason to expert the fame
Fate with those who have done their Duty elfe*wberes It must
be allowed, however, that those who, from Timidity or other
Motives, have been induced to pursue a different Condufl may
have present Safety, but then, as it wuf be at the Expence of
their Honour, it is net likely that there will be found man, of
them who will cheofe to pay such a Price for such & Cons dera
tion, nor is it probable, if they fbould, that they would meet
with your Approbate*.
We flatter ourselves that your Excellency will riot
doubt but that we shall be ready, on ail Occasions, to
join you in the Promotion of Peace, Order, and good
Government; and eagerly improve every Opportunity
that may tend to the restoring this Province t* its former
State us Happiness and Tranquility,
By Order of the House,
JOHN STEVENS, Speaker.

The humble ADDRESS of the Representatives
It gives me Pleasure, however, to find that you make no
Doubt but that the Lawsuf our Country, and }:he Execu
tive Powers of the Government, will afford Safety,and prove
an Asylum to ALL rhe King's Subjects. On the Str%b
of this Assurance, His Majesty's Officers, who have now the
Misfortune of being confined in Trenton by some fuppfd
unlawful &tbority, cannot hefaate to apply for that legal
Remedy an Habeas Corpus, nor can any of His Majeffs
Justices of the Supreme Court have the leaf Scruple togr^nt
st, nor ought any one th doubt " but that it will (as you fay)
be found fully equal to the Purpose."
Four Hope that the Officers of Government will conduit
themferoes prudently will, I trust, be greatly gratified, at
leap by feme of them, if d manly confeientidus Difebarge of
their Duty to their King and Country, as far as may be in their
Power, is conffcnt with your Ideas of Prudence^— As the,
have not even made the real Disorders of the Times a Pretence
for leaving the Province, it seems rather unkind to intimate
any Suspicion that they would do it ox a " supposed Disorder
°f 'be Pixies. Equally unjustifiable is it to insinuate, that an,
of them would be so abferd as t. “ invite 111-ufuage,” orfa
wicked as to “ ENDEAVOUR to fubjed the inhabitants
to any Calamities." But such Suspicions and fueb Lan
guage must, Ifuppofe, be attributed to the FASHION of the
rimed
In jpeafing of the Sentiments of Independency openly
avowed by feme Men of present Conference, I bad not the
m fdifart Thought, tbatyou would corfder the Remark an
at all meant for or applicable to your House. If any Faith is to
be put (a,you fay) inyour frequent and full Declarations of
your Sentiments on this Sublet, you certainly deftrve to be
exempt from all Suspicions of that Natures I even intimated
in my Speech tbatyou mufi entertain " an Abhorrence of fueb
Defer." Your present Disapprobation of the Eflays tending
to encourage that Measure gives me great Satisfaction, and I'

that Major Connolly, with three companions, were ta

He is made Lieutenant Colonel Commandant, wai to pro

at the Illinois with two companies of the Royal Irish,
was to meet him with the field pieces and dores that are

and parizans as he could; to enable him to do this, he
had powef to engage eve r y perlon that entered into the

was to appoint and commission all the officers under him ;
