General Gage, .with a mercenary handful of troops,

After thedate defeat of the King's, troops, Gen.
Ward lent a messenger to Gen. Gage, informing 8
him, " TTaktlfe wounded prisoners were taken every

have any surgeons of his own appointment to attend

My Lord,
^"^, iiILST I feel the deepest anguish and
¥7 sensibility for the loss of our hapiefs coun
trymen, who lately fell in thea&ion with the Ameri-•
cans near Briton, buffer me to entreat you to S I AY•
the SV^ORD, and fufoend any further operations
against the colonies, until some happy conciliating
means may.be deviled, some fortunate expedient may
be hit upon to heel the bleeding wounds, and re-unite
us again with that unfortunate and diffracted country.
It is, my Lord, the sincere with of every true friend
of freedom, who are too fenfibiy afflicted, adequately
to express their feelings on the above most nielan
'choly event.
As a well-wither to your Lordflrip and all mankind,
I entreat you, from every motive of humanity, to
liken to the dictates of found reason and policy,' and
you cannot fail of being convinced of the Julfice and
expediency of a measure so essentially requisite to flop
the further effufion of the BLOOD of our COUN
TRYMEN, and prevent us from being engaged in
all the horrors of a civil find inteltine war; the bare
apprehension of which, my Lord, fills me with the
most poignant anxiety, and makes me dread the im
pending confluences, with a torture of mind
utterly impossible to be described.
If by those extraordinary exertions, which have
often proceeded from people contending for their
liberties, or by any of those accidents which have
frequently decided the fate of battles and of empires,
taking the victory front the strong, and the race from
the fwift, we should be REPULSED, to what a date
of humiliation should we be reduced ? Such is the
vi&ors, or vanquished, we are fare of being fufferers. {
With ties so itrong to bind us to each other, is it ;
not strange, isit not deplorable, that we Should differ ? "
Do they -who talk of chastising our 'Colonies, ands
reducing them to obedience, confider how much we |
hazard when we dissolve thole ties ? What are. we to 1
substitute in their place, FORCE and FEAR,■
which Tacitus wifely tells us are insecure restraints, p
and always Succeeded by inveterate hatred? When ,
these consequences follow from the coercive measures |
we are now pursuing, will the counfellors who have|
impelled us to them by representations, not, I am|
sure, very fair, defend us from their fatal effects ? §
It is from experience only, my Lord, that menl
learn wisdom, but unhappily, fometi/nes the injury of
the experiment is irretrievable ; we have too much
reason, I think, to apprehend that this will be the
event of our prefect contest with America.

what men can do, they will do; but in a country fur

i ornately known to the enemy you are-to combat,
where difciphne is unavailing or embarrassing and

that the bravery of such troops as..the Englilh Should

Indians in ambush, an overthrow incurred by the very
discipline in which he vainly put his trust, will be apt

Gen. Burgoyne's Answer to Gen. Lee's Letter
[inferred in this Paper jutyio, No. 1239.1 of the
7th of June, 1775.
Dear Sir,
"^A/ HEN we were Isft together in Service, I.
%? should not have thought it within the Vicis
situdes of human Affairs, that we mould meet at
any Time, or in any Sense, as Foes. The Letter
you have honoured me with; and my own Feelings,
combine to prove we are kill far from being personally
such.
I claim no Merit from the Attentions you so kind
ly remember in the early Periods of our Acquaint
ance, but as they manifeft how much it was my
Pride to be known for your Friend ; nor have I de
parted from the Duties of that Chamber, when, I
will not scruple to fay, it has been almost general
Offence to maintain it: I mean firice the violent Part
you have taken in the Commotions or tne Colonies.
It would exceed tfe Limits and the Propriety of
our prelent Correspondence, to argue at full the great
Cause in which we are engaged. But anxious to
preserve a confident and ingenuous Chara&er, and
jealous I confefs of having the Part I sustain imputed
to such Motives as you intimate, I will date to you
as concisely as I can, the Principles upon which, not
voluntarily, but molt confeientioufly I undertook it.
I have, like you, entertained from Infancy a Ve
neration for public Liberty. I havelikewife regarded
the British Constitution as the, best Safeguard of that
Bleffiing, to be found.in the Hiltory of Mankind.
The vital Principle of the Constitution, in which
it moves and has its Being, is the Supremacy of the
King in Parliament—a compound, indefinite, inde
feafible Power, coeval with the Origin of the Empire
and co-exterdive over all its Parts.
I am no Stranger to the Do&rines of Mr. Locke,
and other of the best Advocates for the Rights 06
Mankind, upon the Compass always implied be
j tween the governing and governed, and the Right of
I Refinance in the Letter when the Compact shall be
I so violated as to leave no other Means of Redress.
II look with Reverence almost amounting to Idolatry,
I. upon those immortal Whigs who adopted and applied
Ifuch Doctrine during Part of the Reign of Charles
I the Ift, and in that of James Ild.
Should Corruption pervade the three Estates of the
I Realm so as to pervert the great Ends for whicn they
.were initituted, and make the Power veiled in them
I for the good of the whole People operate, like an
lAbufe of the Prerogative of the Crown, to general
:Oppreflion, I am ready to acknowledge that the fame
Do&rine of Remittance applies as forcibly agamittue
Abuses of the collective Body of Power, as against
those of the Crown or either of the other component
Branches feparatively: Still always underftoodthat
no other Means of Redress can be obtain'd :---A
ICafe I contend much more difficult to suppose when
lit relates to the whole than when it relates to Parts.
IBut in all Cases that have existed or can be con
ceived, I hold that Refinance, to be justifiable, mud
be directed againff the Usurpation or undue exercise
of Power, and that it is mod criminal when directed
against any Power itfelf inherent in the Conftitution b
And here you will immediately decern why I drew
, a Line in the Allusion I made above to the Reign of
I Charles I. Towards the Close of it the true Princi-
Iple of Refinance was changed and a new Syltem of
IGovernment projected accordingly. The Patriots
;previous., to the long Parliament and during great
IPart of it, as well as the glorious Revolutionists of
1688, refilled to vindicate and teftore the Constitu
tion ; the Republicans refitted to subvert it.
; Now, Sir, lay your Hand upon your Heart, as you
have enjoined me to do on mine, and tell me to which
of these Purpoles do the Proceedings of America
tend ?.
Is it the Weight of /faxes imposed, and tbe,lm
poffibility of Relief after a due Reprefen ration of her.
Burthen, that has induced her to take up ARMS ?
Or is it a Denial of the Right of British Legidation
to impose them, and consequently a Struggle for
total Independency ? For the Idea of Power that can
tax externally, and not internally, and all the Sophis
try that attends it, tho' it may catch the Weakness
and the Prejudice of the Multitude in a Speech or
Pamphlet, it is too preposterous to weigh seriously
with a Man of your Understanding; and I am con
fident you will admit the Cafefto be fairly put.. Is it
then from a Relief of Taxes, or from the Controul
of Parliament “in all ' Cases wkatfoever," we are
in War? If for the former, the Quarrel is at an End
---there is not a Man of Sense and. Information in
America who does not know it is in the Power of
the Colonies to put an End to the Exercise of Taxa
tion immediately, and forever ; I boldly assert it, be
cause Sense and Information will also suggest to every
Man, that it can never be the Interest of Britain,
after her late Experience, to make another Trial.
But if the other Ground is taken, and it is intended
to wrest from Great-Britain a Link of that substantial
and I hope perpetual, Chain, by which the Empire
holds think it not a ministerial Mandate ; think
it not a mere profeffional Ardour ; think it not a
Prejudice against a Part of our Fellow Subje&s, that
induces Men of Integrity, and among such you
have done me the Honor to class me, to a& with
Vigour ; But be affuied it is a Conviaion that the
whole of our political System depends upon the
Preservation of its great andeffential Parts diftin&ly,
and no Part is so great and essential as supremacy of
Legislation It is a Conviction, that as a King of
England never appears in so, glorious a Light as when
he employs the Executive Powers of the State to
maintain the Laws, so in the present Exertions of
that Power, his Majesty is particularly entitled to
our Zeal and grateful Obedience not only, as Soldiers
but as Citizens.
. These Principles,' depend upon.it, actuate the
.Army and Fleet throughout: And let me atjhe fame
Timaaid, there are few, if any Gentlemen among
us who would have drawn his Sword in the Cause of
Slavery.
But why do I bind myfelf to the Navy and Army?
The Sentiments I have touched are thole of the great-
Bulk of the Nation. ,I appeal to the landed Men
who have so long borne Burthens for America ; I
appeal to those trading Towns (vho are Sufferers by
the Dispute, and the City of London at the Head of
them, notwithttanding the Petitions and Remon
ftranges which the Arts of Party and Faction have
extorted from some Individuals ; and last, because
least in your Favour, I appeal to the Majorities in
the Houses of Parliament upon American Questions
this Session. The most licentious News-Writers
want Assurance to call these Majorities Ministerial;
much less will you give them that Name when you
impartially examine the Characters that compose
them—Men of the most independent Principles and
Fortunes, and many of them profeffedly in Opposition
to the Court in the general Line of their Conduct.
Among other Supporters of British Rights against
Ameiican Claims, I will not speak positively, but I
firmly believe, I may name the Man of whose
Integrity you have the highest Opinion, and whose
Friendship is nearest your Heart I mean Lord
Thanet, from whom my Aid-de Camp has a Letter
for you, and also one from Sir Charles Davers: Ido
not inclofe them, because the Writers, little imagin
ing how difficult your Condu& would render our
Ihtercourfe, desired they might be delivered to your
own Hands.
For this Purpose as well as to renew '' the Rights
of Fellgwlliip,'' I wifli to fee you; and above all,
I should find an Interview happy if it should induce
such Explanations as might tend in their Consequence
to Peace. I feel in common with all around me, for
the unhappy Bulk of this Country ; they forefee not
the Distress that is impending over them, I know
Great-Britain is ready to open her Arms upen the
firft Overture of Accommodation; I know Ihe is
equally resolute to maintain her original Rights;
and if the War proceeds, your one Hundred and
fifty Thousand Men will not be a Match for her
Power.
The Place I would propose for our Meeting is the
House upon Boston Neck, just within our advanced
Centuries, called Brown's House.—l will obtain
Authority to give my Parole of Honour for your
fafe Return. I shall expe& the fame on your Part
that no Insult be offered to me. If this Plan is
agreeable to you, name your Day and Hour. At all
Events,- accept a sincere Return of the Assurances
with which you Honour me, and believe me in all
personal Confederations, affectionately yours.
P. S. I obeyed your Commands to Generals How
and Clinton. I also communicated your Letter and
my. Answer, to Lord Percy. They all join me in
Compliments, and authorife me to assure you they do
the fame in - Principles.

Committee-Chamber, New-York, ^tb August, 1775.
WHEREAS the Continental Congress by their
Resolve of the 27th of May left, ordered
that no Provisions of any Kind be exported to the
Iliahd of Nantucket (except from the Colony of the
Massachusetts) from whence they were to be lupplied
with Provisions orily for their internal Use ; and'tne
laid Congress deeming it of great Importance to
North-America, that the British Fishery should not
be furnished with Provifio'ns from this Continent,
through Nantucket, did by their laid Resolve earnestly
recommend a vigilant Execution thereof by all Cbm
niittees: And whereas it appears to this Committee,
by the Confeflion of Abraham H. Van Vleck, of
Mist City, M^chant, arid the Examination of George
Coffin, that the laid Abraham H. Van Vleck, being
Owner of the Sloop Henry, (whereof the Wnfcebtve
Coffin was Master) did about the 23d June last lent
from this Port the said Sloop, laden with Provihon,
to, Nantucket, on Account and Rifque of the laid'
Abraham H. Van Vleck ; and that the said George
Coffin fold the" fame there for the Use of the Inhabi
tants : And whereas it also appears on the said Exa
mination and Confeffion, that the said Abraham
Van'Vleck hath pgain, during this present Week,
laden the said Sloop at New-York with Provisions,
for a like Voyage to Nantucket, and that the said
George Coffin was to proceed on the fame as Maker
of the said Sloop, but was detected in such Design,
and the Vettel and Cargo detained by this Committee.
Refolded if, That the Examination of the said
George Coffin, and the Conftfiron of the said Abra
ham H. Van Vleck, be published in the several News
Papers of this Colony.
Refolded id, That the said Abraham H. Van
Vleck and George Coffin; have knowingly violated
the before-mentioned Resolve of the Continental
Congress, and the general' Association entered into
by the Inhabitants of this City and County.'
Refolded therefore, ^ly, That the said Abraham H.
Van Vleck and George Coffin, have severally a&ed
inimically to, and been guilty of a high Infringe
ment of the Liberties of the associated American
Colonies. By Order of the* Committee,
HENRY- REMSEN, Dep. Chairman.
GEORGE COFFIN fays, That after the Ac
count received of the Congress not to flhip Pro
visions to Nantucket, the Examineft being Master of
the Sloop Henry, did take on board the said Sloop
at New-York, a.Cargo, or Part of a Cargo of Pro
visions for Nantucket, which belonged to Abraham
H. Van VUck, of this City. That (h$ said Vessel
Gentlemen,
I Acknowledge to hare bargained with George
Collin, about the latter End of May last, for
the Sloop Henry, of which I was Owner ; but as
our Agreement fell through, I then, by Advice of
the said George Coffin, concluded to load her for
Nantucket with a Cargo of Provisions, and gave
the Command of the Vcll'el to him: Soon after the
Resolve of the Hon. Continental Congress was made
public, refpe&ing the Noil-Exportation of Provisions
to said Place; notwithstanding which, thro' Ignorance,
of the Consequences, and a Strong Imagination that
it would not hurt the Cause of America, I very
imprudently proceeded to load the said Sloop for
Nantucket, for which Place the said George Coffin
immediately went, and on his Arrival there was
Solicited by the Inhabitants to go to New-York, and
return as soon as possible with another Load, as they
were in great Want of Provisions ; and flip was
nearly compleated loading with a like Cargo, on the
fame Event as last Voyage at this Period. The
Vessel and both Cargoes were ownetl entirely by me,
and no Person whatever cither directly or indir.e&ly,
had any Share or Partin the fame ; and I likewiledo
most solemnly exculpate my Father Henry Van Vleck
(who has been out of Town a long Time) and every
other Person from having any Knowledge in the
Matter, and I will, if required, Satisfy the fame by
an Oath. Now, Gentlemen, after having madethis
open Confeffion, I throw myfelf on the Mercy of
my Country, hoping that every Indulgence will be
allowed me, confident with the Interest of the Public :
I can and do appeal to my Fellow Citizens, that I
never did in any one Instance transgress against the
Liberties of America ; and had I have thought the
Provisions shipped by the aforementioned Vessel would
have fell into the Hands of the King's Troops, no
Consideration whatever could have induced me to
have feat the fame. I again beg Leave to crave the
Lenity of the Public, and am, Gentlemen,
Your and tlieir most devoted Servant,
ABRAHAM H. VAN VLECK.
I further certify, that Capt. George Coffin, on his
Voyage to Nantucket, bad Orders to fail out of
Sandy-Hook, and on his Voyage to avoid all VeiTels
he should happen to meet or fee, and not to speak to
any Vessel whatever until he got to Nantucket, in
order to avoid his falling in the Way of any King's
Vessels which might carry him into Boston.

also belonged to him the said Van Vleck.---That the
Examinant failed with the said Vessel and Cargo to.
Nantucket, and there fold the Cargo, but had Liberty
from said Van Vleck, to go to the Weft-Indies if he
thought fit.—That the Cargo of Rfovifions now or
board the said Sloop, also belongs to the said Abra

to go to Nantucket.- -That the Cargo firft above
mentioned, was fold for the Use of the Inhabitants
at Nantucket.---That he thinks he was about threp
Days taking in the filth Cargo, and thinks that the
Vessel was cleared out immediately, or very soon after
the firft Cargo was taken on board ; and thinks the
Vessel failed the next day after flie.w^s , cleared out,
---That when the Vessel failed on the said Voyage
the Examinant knew he was contravening the Order
cf the Continental Congress.
In Provincial Congress, New-York, August 4, 1775.
WHEREAS it appeared to the Committee of Safety
appointed by this Congress during their late
Recess, that a Barge belonging to his Majesty's Ship Asia,
was, without anyErovocation, attacked and mast wantonly
destroyed : And whereas the Corporation of this City
had, under the Sanction of the said Committee, ordered
another Barge to be built, in. order to replace the Barge
fo'deftroyed" as aforefaid : And whereas this Congress
had approved of that, and the other Conduct of their
said Committee, and voted them their Thanks for their
faithful Services: And whereas notwithstanding some
disorderly and evil disposed Persons did in the Night de
stroy and render useless the said Barge so ordered to be
built as afortfaid, by sawing it in Pieces : And whereas
the Corporation have since formally applied to this Con
gress for their Directions in the Premises.
Refolded, That the Perpetrators of the said Aft are
guilty of a high Offence and Insult against this Congress
and the Colony they represent, as endeavouring to con
travene the true Intent and Meaning of their Appoint
ment.
That they are insolent Violators of the Association
fubferibed by this Congress, and by them recommended
to the Adoption of their Constituents.
In order therefore that the Sense of this Congress may
be fully known relative to such outrageous A&s,
Ordered, That this Reflation be immediately made
public, notdoubting but that the good Inhabitants of 1
this'Colony will duly affifr and support this Congress ira
detecting, convicting and bringing to condign Funifh
mentall such factious Offenders, as Disturbers of the
public Peace. A true Copy from the Minutes,

WHERE AS a Report has been ir.dufriouJlj pro
pagated in this City, that the Continental Con
gr^fs bad sassed a Resolve, That unless Americas
I Grievances were redressed by the firft of March, these
Colonies should be independent of Great-Britain; and.
wbereartbis Committee have made flriff Enquiry into
the fame, and find that one Mr. Archer, lately from
Philadelphia, was the original Publijber of the said
Report, and have endeavoured by all Means in their
Power to procure the Attendance of the said Mr. Archer
before this Board, to declare by what Authority h> pro
pagated the said Report, but find that be is concealed
in, or withdrawn front ibis City: And whereas ibis
Committee are fatisfied from the bes Authority, that
such Report is falfe andgroundlefs,
Therefore, Resolved, if. That the Author of
the said Report is guilty of a malicious Attempt to re
present the Continental Congress as intending to caf off
the Connection and Dependance of the Colonies on Great-, %
Britain, and thereby to widen the unhappy Breach
already fubfijUng between tbpm.
Resolved, id. That it appears to this Commit
tee, that the faidfalfe and malicious Report was also
calculated to create Dissensions in the Colonies, and to
weaken their Confidence in the Continental Congress;
and therefore, that the Author of it ought to be consider
ed as an Enemy to this Country.
