The Address of the Lords and Commons to his
Majesty, on the present Rate of America, &c.
From the London Gazette, of February it.
St. J AMES's, February 9.
a if day the two Houses of Parliament presented to
bis Majesty the following ADDRESS.
The humble Address of the Right Honourable
the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons,
in Parliament assembled.
Die Martis, 7 Februarii, 1775.
Most gracious Sovereign,
WE your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal fub
je&s, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal,
and Commons, in parliament assembled, return your
Majesty our most humble thanks for having been
graciously pleased to communicate to us the several
papers relating to the present state of the British
colonies in America, which by your Majesty's com
mand, have been laid before us. We have taken
them into our most serious consideration : and we find,
that a part of your Majesty's fubje&s, in the province
of the Massachusetts-Bay, have proceeded so far to
resist the authority of the Supreme Legislature, that a
Rebellion at this time actually exists within the said
province; and we fee, with the utmost concern, that
they had been countenanced and encouraged by
unlawful combinations and engagements, entered
into by your Majesty's fubje&s in several of the other
colonies, to the injury and oppression of many of
their innocent fellow fubjefts, resident within the
kingdom of Great Britain and the rest of your
Majesty's dominions. This condu&, on their part,
appears to us the more inexcusable, when we confider
with how much temper your Majesty and the two
Houses of Parliament, have a&ed in support of the
laws and constitution of Great-Britain.---We can
never so far del'ert the trust reposed in us, as to
relinquish any part of the sovereign authority over
all your Majesty's dominions, which, by law, is vested
in your Majesty, and the two Houses of Parliament;
and the conduct of many persons in several of the
colonies, during the late disturbances is alone fuffi
cient to convince us how necessary this power is for
protection of the lives and fortunes of all vou Ma
jesty's fubjeCts.
We have ever been, and always shall be, ready to
pay attention and regard to any real grievances of any
of your Majesty's fubjeCts, which shall, in a dutiful
and constitutional manner, be laid before us; and
whenever any of the Colonies shall make a proper
application to us, we shall be ready to afford them
every just and reasonable indulgence : At the fame
time, we confider it as our indispensable duty, hum
bly to beseech your Majesty, that you will take the
most solemn measures to enforce due obedience to the
laws and authority of the supreme Legislature ; and
we beg leave, in the most solemn manner, to allure
your Majesty that it is our fixed resolution, at the
hazard of our lives and properties, to stand by your
Majesty against all rebellious attempts, in the main
tenance of the just rights of your Majesty, and the
two houses of parliament.
Advices just received from Holland mention, that
the Dutch fockbolders are so much alarmed at the in
certitude of events which the American measures may
occafon in our national credit, that they are about
to give orders for felling out of the Englijb funds.
Private letters from Switzerland convey information
of a similar nature.
Feb. ii. Yetterday the Earl of Rochford presented
the upper Assembly a Message from his Majesty
under his sign manual, the purport of which was,
" that in consequence of the Address he had re
ceived, he was determined to take the most speedy
and effectual measures for fuppoiting the just rights
of the Crown, and the two Houses of Parliament,"
in which undertaking he informed them, an addition
to his forces both by land and sea would be necessary,
not doubting but their Lordlhips would readily con
cur in such measures as the exigences of the case
Should require.
In consequence of the above message, their Lord
ships agreed to an humble Address to be presented to
his Majesty, humbly to assure his Majesty, that they
will, with the utmost zeal and cheerfulnefs concur
with his Majesty in such measures as the present exi
gences may require.
Mr. Vice Chamberlain presented his Majesty's
answer to the address of both Houses of Parliament,
which was as follows :
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
" I thank you for this very dutiful and loyal ad
dress, and for the affectionate and solemn assurances
you give me of your support in maintaining the just
rights of my Crown, and of the two Houses of Par
liament ; and you may depend upon my taking the
most speedy and effectual measures for enforcing obe
dience to the laws, and the authority of the supreme
legislature.
" Whenever any of my Colonies shall make a
proper and dutiful application, I shall be ready to
concur with you in affording them every just and rea
sonable indulgence; and it is my ardent wish, that
this disposition may have a happy effect on the temper
and conduct of my fubje&s in America."
The house went into a committee on the American
papers, and Lord North moved for leave to bring in
a bill for preventing the Americans from fifhing at
Newfoundland and St. John's, and for prohibiting
them from carrying on any commerce, either by way
of export or import, but with Great-Britain, Ireland,
and Weft-Indies. This produced a very warm de
bate, in which Mr. Attorney, Mr. Solicitor General,
Mr. Stanly, arid Cornwall, bore a part on one fide,
Mr. Dunning, Mr. Recorder of London, and Mr.
Fox, on the other.
The principal arguments used in favour of the
proposed augmentation, were as follows : That the
house having resolved contumacy and defiance of le
gislative power in the Americans to be rebellious,
and having addressed his Majesty that he would be
pleased to take such measures as he should find it ne
cessary for enforcing the laws, it was upon a mature
consideration, determined that an augmentation of
zooo seamen should be made. That number it was
apprehended, would be Efficient for the purpose of
By Accounts from Staten-Island, we learn that
the Inhabitants of that Place assembled on the nth
Inst, in order to take the Senie of the County upon
The question was put at eleven o'clock, and the
House divided, ayes 261, noes 89.
The resolution of the committee was agreed to
withouta division, and a bill ordered to be brought in.
Feb. 19. By some private letters which arrived a
few days face at the office of one of the Secretaries of
State, from several of the sea port towns in Spain,
information was brought that the greatest warlike
preparations are carrying on with the utmost secrecy
and dispatch.
N E W-Y OR K, April 17.
Various Accounts having been given of Lord North's
Motion for the Relief of the Colonies, the fol
lowing, we presume, may be depended upon as
truly authentic.
From the MIDDLESEX JOURNAL, Feb. 21,1775.
Yesterday the Commons resolved itlelf into a Com
mittee of the whole House, for the farther considera
tion of the American papers and affairs, when a mo
tion, most unexpected without doors, but for which
the members had been prepared by cards, defiling
their attendance, was made by Lord North, for
adopting conciliatory measures with America ; and
the following may be depended upon as an authentic
copy of the above motion :
“ That it is the opinion of this Committee, that
when the General Council and Assembly, or Gene
ral Court of any of his Majesty's Provinces or Co
lonies in America, shall propole to make provision,
according to the condition, circumstance, or situation
of such Province or Colony, for contributing their
proportion to the common defence, such proportion
to be raised under the authority of the General
Court, or General Assembly of such Province or
Colony, and disposable by Parliament) and shall
engage to make provision also, for the support of the
civil government, and the administration of justice
in such Province or Colony, it will be proper if such
proposal shall be approved by his Majesty and the
two Houses of Parliament, and for so long as such
provision shall be made accordingly, to forbear in
refpe& of such Province or Colony to lay any duty,
tax, or assessment, or to impose any farther duty,
tax, or assessment, except only such duties, as it
may be expedient to continue to levy or impose, for
the regulation of commerce ; the net produce of the
duties last mentioned, to be carried to the account of
such Province or Colony refpe&ively.
On a division, 274 for the motion.
88 against it."
Letters received by the Pacquet intimate, that
Lord North's motion had been determined upon
in council several weeks before it was made in the
Committee of the House of Commons.
retraining the 'commerce of the New-Englanders,
and for preventing the elandeftine trade which some
were fearful would be carried into practice with fo
reign nations ; that these fubje&s were very essential
ones, and such as must be provided for; and at the
fame time it was also inexpedient to weaken the other
standing services of the navy, which were at present
amply provided for, and were meant to be left upon
too refpe&able a footing to leave the least apprehen
sions of any attack from our neighbours ; that it was
designed to station a proper number of frigates in the
most beneficial manner for commanding the whole
coast of North-America : and it is to be hoped that
when the colonists found that this country was fully
determined to exert the utmost of her force in order to
secure obedience to the legislature, that they would
then quit their present delusion, and return to their
duty.
In reply, it was contended, that the whole con
duct of Administration, from the beginning of this
affair, was full of blindness and incapacity ; that
they had been for several sessions called upon for a
reduction of the navy estimates: that while there
was no use in the enormous establishment, so long
was it kept up, but that as soon as, upon their own
ideas and principles, there was reason to forefee a
want, just then we found it reduced, not effertfially
and effectually reduced, but merely by way of paltry
expedient to flop the mouths of opposition. Why
was the navy reduced at a time that the Ministry
ought to have forefeen the want that would probably
arise ? Every dispatch from America changes the
plan of government; the hue of the Ministry changes,
like the Cameleon, with the objects that approach it.
The augmentation now asked, is but an experiment;
they deiign to try what it will do; they forelee no
effects ; and instead of governing events by the pe
netration of a great statesman, they wait with anxi
ety to know the state of their trial : full of boasts at
the moment of asking this House for the money of
the fubje&, you would then, suppose them looking
into the most distant events, and predicting nothing
but the cleared success. Next feffions,-'--perhaps
next month, they will be of another mind, and hav
ing changed their tone with the advice they receive,
will come for three times 2000 men, perhaps five
times as many.---That the conduCt of the land forces
has been upon the lame principle: At firft three re
giments as a garrison in Boston, were to do all the
bufinefs,---were to carry the a&s into execution, and
prevent all future application to p^rliamerit—preu
fently that hopeful plan gave way for another ; five
regiments were found necessary- --the next dispatches
made seven necessary, and thus we found the army
run up to sixteen regiments, but are allured that Ge
neral Gage will be perfealy fafe ; by and by we shall
find the fears of administration speak a different lan
guage—we shall gradually hear of 20, or 30, and
of 40,000 men. The conduct of administration was
not only glaringly inconsistent and absurd, when ex
amined upon their own principles, but unhappily
thole principles themselves were to the last degree fa
tal to the molt important interests of this country.
In what are these additional seamen to be employed ?
To destroy and prevent the fifhing trade of New-
England, and thereby to throw into the hands of
France the employment of 20,000 sailors and fifher
men. The fifhermen of Bolton, &c. will naturally
and inevitably go to the French---you cannot take it
up---the towns in Britain that carry it on, it is well
known, cannot succeed them. That the Government
proceeded as if they had nothing to fear, and aS if
they were quite at leisure for fehemes of the greatest
magnitude, not content with governing all the inter
nal part of America by arms, at a time when they
cannot yet go beyond the garrisoning a tingle town,
they attack the American clandestine trade ; and
finding themselves unable to retrench instead of an
nihilating it, they give themselves much larger work,
by declaring all American commerce contraband;
and thereby enlarging infinitely that work, which
when small they could not execute. That while there
was so little forefight, so little provision for future
events; while the means taken to execute the greatest
works were so inadequate to the smallest ends, and
while the whole was under the guidance of imbecility
and imprudence, negligence and incapacity, nothing
was to be expected but the most miserable attendant's
on the molt horrible civil convullions, both at home
as well as in America.
