had made. This ceremony being over, the Lord
Chancellor took the Lord Mayor ele& by the hand,
wished him health to go through the fatigues of his
office, and placed him on his right hand ; the rest of the

Advice to Administration with reflect to America.
Let authority give way to prudence : dignity is
supported belt by justice ; the bread of at lealt one
hundred thousand manufacturers is of more impor
tance than a Shadowy authority : the lives of our
fellow fubje&s defeended from ourselves, and though
born in a distant climate, are dear to us. One
passionate resolve may facrifice a million of British
fubje&s, and fubjeA this nation and its dependencies
to ruin, and those who framed it to everlasting infamy.
More is at Stake than many comprehend ; those who
fay otherwise are ignorant, or foes in disguise. The
prelent warlike preparations of the French and
Spaniards (those natural enemies of our country)
ought now to engage the attention of every English
man.
To-morrow the GeneralAflembly of this Province
