Savannah, (in Georgia) January 18.
This day the General Assembly of this province
met here, when his Excellency Sir James Wright,
Baronet, Governor in chief, &c. was pleased to
deliver the following Speech to both Houses, viz.
" Honourable Gentlemen,
“ Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Commons'
" House of Assembly,
“ tHIS being the firft opportunity that has offered
1 in General Assembly, I must not omit ac
quainting you, that in consequence of the petition of
both Houses, his Majesty was graciously pleased to
dire&, that if this province ihould be engaged in an
a&ual Indian war, we should have every proper
fuccour and protection; and I was ordered to apply
to the Commander in chief of his Majesty's forces in
America for that purpose, who had received directions
thereupon.
“ The alarming situation of American affairs at
this juncture, makes it highly necessary for me to
fay something to you on the fubje&, and it is with
the utmost concern that I fee by every account all the
colonies to the northward of us as far as Nova-Scotia
in a general ferment, and some of them in such a
state as makes me shudder when I think of the con
sequence which it is molt probable will soon beta!
them. The unhappy disputes with the mother country
,aie now become of the molt serious nature, and I am
much afraid the very extraordinary andviolent mea
sures adopted and pursued, will not only prevent a
reconciliation, but may involve all America in the
molt dreadful calamities.
“ Gentlemen, I think myfelf very happy in
having it in my power to fay that this province is
hitherto clear, and I much hope by your prudent
conduct will remain so. Be not led away by the
voices and opinions of men of overheated ideas ; con
fider coolly and sensibly of the terrible consequences
which may attend adopting resolutions and measures
expreflly contrary to law and hostile to the mother
country, especially at so late a season, when we may
almost daily expect to hear the determination of
Great-Britain on the matters in dispute, and therefore
I conceive can answer no purpose but that of throwing
the province into confufion/ and I tremble at the
apprehension of what may be the resolution and
declaration of the new Parliament relative to the
conduC tof the people in some parts of America.
“ You may be advocates for liberty, so am I, but
in a constitutional and legal way; you, Gentlemen,
are legislators, and let me intreat you to take care
how you give a fan&ion to trample on law and
government, and be allured it is an indisputable
truth, and where there is no law, there can be no
liberty: It is the due course of law and support of
government which only can insure to you the enjoy
ment of your lives, your liberty and your estates,
and do not catch at the shadow and lole the substance:
I exhort you not to fuffer yourselves to be drawn in
to involve this province in the distresses of those who
may have offended ; we are in a very different situation,
andon a very different footing from the other colonies ;
do not confider me as speaking to you merely as the
King's Governor of this province ; as such, Gentle
men, it is certainly my duty to support his Majesty's
just right and authority, and to preserve peace and
good order within my government, and to contribute
as much as possible towards the prosperity and
^appinefs of the province and people; believe me
when I tell you, I am at this time actuated by further
motives than show only, of discharging my duty as
the King's Governor; I have lived amongst and
presided over you upwards of fourteen years, and
have other feelings, I have a real and affectionate
regard for the people, and it grieves me to think that
a province which I have been so longin, and which
I have seen nurtured by the Crown at a vast expence
to the mother country, and grow up from mere
infancy, from next to nothing, to a considerable
degree of maturity and opulence, should by the
imprudence and ralhnels of some inconsiderate people,
be plunged into a state of distress and ruin: We have
been most happy in, I hope, avoiding Scylla, and let
me in the strongest terms conjure you to iteer clear of
Charybdis.
“ It is a most melancholy and disagreeable fubjeft,
and therefore I shall avoid making any observations
on the resolutions adopted by the other colonies, but
hope that through your prudence and regard for the
welfare and happiness of this province, of yourselves,
and your posterity, none will be entered into here ;
the strongest reasons operate against it, and as they
must occur to every considerate person, I shall not
mention any.
" Gentlemen of the Assembly,
" The very dangerous and critical situation of
cur affairs with the Creek Indians last spring, pre
vented your going on the necessary business of the
province at that time : I therefore hope and depend
that, agreeable to your address to me of the 12th of
March, 1774, you will now take the ieveral matters
formerly recommended to you into consideration, and
proceed thereupon with that serious attention they
require, and to which I shall only add, that in order
to preserve and continue to us peace and quietness
with the Indians, it seems absolutely necessary that a
law should be framed to regulate some matters relative
to the Indian trade and tranfa&ions in the Indian
country, to prevent encroachments and trespasses on
the lands and hunting grounds of the Indians, and
other irregularities and abuses being committed by
hunters and other disorderly people both within and
without the settlements ; and therefore most earnestly
recommend a revifal of a bill relative to Indian affairs,
which was before the House of Assembly in the year
1769, in which I am persuaded you will find some
clauses that may be most ufeful and salutary to the
province.
“ I have ordered the Treasurer to lay all the public
accounts before you, and will very soon fend you an
estimate of the usual and necessary supplies since the
last tax. JAMES WRIGHT."
In the Upper House of Assembly, January 18, 1775.
A Message to the Commons House of Assembly.
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen,
" MpHIS House having taken into serious con
-1 fideration those matters mentioned by his
Excellency in his speech to both Houses, lefpe&ing
the present alarming state of the unhappy disputes
between Great- Britain and the colonies, and con
ceiving the fubje& to be of the highest importance to
the welfare and fafety of both, is therefore desirous
of having a free conference with your House thereon,
in hopes of being able to fix on such a plan of con
du& as may reasonably be expe&ed will prove
conducive to the obtaining the great point which every
true friend to America hath or ought to have only in
view, to wit, that of securing to its inhabitants, on
a clear, solid and permanent footing, all the rights
and privileges to which, as British fubje&s, they are
entitled, on the principles of the constitution.
“ For, however warmly this House may and doth
condemn the violent and ill judged measures pursued
by some of the other provinces, which they conceive
have an evident tendency to widen the breach between
Great-Britain and the colonies, and may involve all
America in a scene of the utmost distress and misery j
Extras of another Letter from Philadelphia, dated
February 27.
" You may be assured, there is a ntoft amazing
“ change of Sentiments in the People of this Pro
" vince. The Quakers, high and low Dutch, the
“ Baptists, &c. are warmly opposed in their Opinions
" to the Violent and independent Measures lately
“ adopted, and wish for others more Moderate,
" prudent and rational, pursued. And there is the
" gfeateft piofpea, that in a little time this Province,
“ will recover its at present loft Character, for Wis
“ dom, Moderation and Firmness."
We hear from Perth-Amboy in New-Jersey, that
a certain Thomas Carman, was, a few Days ago,
committed to the common Gaol of that City, on an
a&ion for propagating a most falfe, slanderous, and
improbable Report, of a certain Gentleman in high
Office in that Province ; which report the said Car
man confeffed, upon his firft apprehension, that he
knew to be falfe, when he firft published it.
A free Mulatto fellow, Named Nathaniel Chafe, is
also committed to the Gaol of Somerset County, in
the said Province, for being concerned, with the said
Carman, in the invention of the fame wicked, absurd,
and ridiculous Story.
We have authentic Advices of the zzd of las Month,
from U/fer County, that on Saturday Night the

York, and a Negro mamed Joe, belonging to Mr.
Johannes Schoonmaker, viz.
York. How many ? Joe. A great many.---

Hurly, and Kingston. York. How much Pow

That is not enough, they Jbould have more to get through
with it, and Drums enough to prevent bearing tbe
Cries. Tbe, will begin, two at your House, Two at
John De Puis, andin Proportion more at other Houses.
It will be put in Execution between this and Wednesday
night ; when once begun, we mus go through with it.
We are to ft Fire to the Houses, and fland by tbe Doors
and Windows, to receive tbe People as they came out.
The above (in Subflance) being deposed before a Magi
frate, tbe two Negroes were committed to Goal ; and
Last Week Orders were received from Virginia for
the purchase of as large a quantity of Arms as can be
procured in this City.
We are informed by a Captain of Vessel who ar
rived a few Days ago from Antigua, that Admiral
Parry, with the Royal Squadron under his Command,
on that Station, has received Orders th fail for Boston,
where this Gentleman will be second in Command,
as he is a jun. Vice Admiral of the blue Flag to
Admiral Graves : the Gentleman who brought this
Advice, added, that he heard Admiral Parry himfelf,
declare, the above destination of his Majesty's Ships.

BOSTON, February 27.
In Provincial Congress, Cambridge, Feb. 13th, 1775.
Voted r ,"AT the Congress do highly approve
' & of the Vigilance and Activity of the
Sele&men and Committees of Correspondence, for
the several Towns of Plymouth, Kington, Duxbury,
Pembroke, Hanover and Scituate, in detecting the
Falfhoods and malicious Artifices of certain Persons
belonging to Marfhfield and Scituate, not refpe&able
in their Numbers or Characters ; who are with great
Reason supposed to have been the Persons who pre
vailed upon General Gage, to take the imprudent
Step of fending a Number of the King's Troops into
Marfhfield, under Pretence of protecting them, where
by great and just Offence has been given to the good
People of this Province ; as very fatal Consequences
mud have arisen therefrom, if fame malevolent Spirit
which seems to have influenced them, had actuated
the Inhabitants of the neighbouring Towns ; or if
the fame Indiscretion which betrayed the General into
the unwarrantable Measure of fending Troops, had
led the People to destroy them.
Voted, That the Congress do earnestly recommend
it to the Selectmen and Committees of Correspondence
in the several Towns of Plymouth, Kingston, Dux
bury, Pembroke, Hanover and Scituate, Readily to
perlevere in the fame Line of Conduct, which Es in
this Instance so justly intitled them to the Etteem of
their Fellow Countrymen, and to keep a watchful
Eye upon the Behaviour of those who are aiming at
the Deftru&ion of our Liberties.
The General Assembly of New-Hamplhire, is, by
Proclamation, put off to the 4th day of May. And
we hear that Governor Wentworth has cafhie#ed a
Number of Civil and Military Officers who were
known or fufpe&ed to have been lately concerned in
dismantling his Majesty's Fort in that Province,
among whom are, Col. Folsom and Major Sullivan,
Members of the late Grand Continental Congress.
ExtraN of a Letter from Philadelphia, dated Feb. 28.
“ I have now to inform you, that the opposition
to the Congress has done some good in our Assembly:
Mr. G----y spoke most ably ; he told the Houle, that
the measures of the Congress, if pursued, would
ruin America, reduce it to a conquered Country, that
they ought to be Oppofers, &c. &c. , a con
greffional Termigant, retorted on him with more
Violence than Senfd, declared, that there was not one
Man in a Thousand who disapprove of their Pro
ceedings : The former replied, that he was mistaken
that Thousands and Tens of Thousands abhored and
dreaded them ; that their numbers were increasing
with the molt amazing Rapidity, &c. &c. Thele
debates ensued upon a motion of the Houle to conli
der the Governor's message, relative to a petition to
the King; onadivifion, I think there were 19 for tak
ing the matter in confederation ten Days hence, and 1 $
for throwing it out ; before this division, the Penn
sylvania Oracle proved, to the conviction of
every Member, that no petition from America, had
ever been rejected, when couched in such Terms, thdt
it could be received with Dignity. Should our As
sembly agree to Petition, it will be done in a very
dutiful style, without retrofpe& on their own Con
duct.
yet it is the sincere wish of this House, as far as in
their power, to fee every obstacle removed which may
interrupt a cordial and lading union with the mother
country, or obdruft or prevent his Majesty's Ame
rican fubjeds from enjoying all the constitutional
rights of British fubjeds, and will therefore cheer
fully join in pursuing such measures as will at once
teftify loyalty to our most gracious Sovereign, a firm
attachment to the British constitution, and a warm
and proper regard to the rights and liberties of
America."

together with several other Negroes, examined next,
Day before four Magiflrates who met for that purpose,
but nojurtber Difeoveries could then be made.
A Letter from said Place, names Marbletown, as
duel! as the three above mentioned, and that the
Negroes were to be divided into parties, to fire the
Houses, cry Fire, and kill the People as they come out.
---The Motive for this Conspiracy, vsas the Recover,
of their Freedom. A large Quantity of Powder and Ball
was found with several Negroes, and there are said
to be Advices in Town, that besides the two Negroes
before mentioned, seventeen or eighteen more have been
committed to Goal.
A Report has likewise been current in Town for a
Day or two pafl, that tbefe Negroes were to be joined
by five or fix Hundred Indians, but it does not appear
that there is any good Foundation for the Report.
From Jamaica, on Long-ljland, we are also inform
ed, that several of the Negroes at that Place, were
last Week committed to Goal there, on account of a
Conspiracy said to have been dijeovered among them to
defiroy the white People ; and we are told meji of the
Slaves for many Miles round are concerned in this
Plot.
On Tuesday lafl, between Twelve and One o'Clock,
the new HoJpital at Renelagb, a large Pile of Building,
lately ere Ned and nearly finished, was difeovered to be
on Fire ; the Workmen being all gone to Dinner, and
the Rooms lumbered with combufable Materials, the
Flames spread so faf, that before any Help could be
called, the, were got to too great a Height to be fup
prtfrJ, and the whole Wooden Part of the Building,
the erecting of which bad been the Work of man.
Months, was, in about one Hour, reduced to Ajbes.—
It is unknown b, what Means the Accident happened,
but it is fufopojed that the Shavings might have been
left too near the Fire.---It is hoped, however, that
Charity, which reared this Structure, will cause ano
ther to spring from its Afoes, for the Relief of the
difreffed Poor..

My Fellow Citizens,
AS you are called on this Day to give your Voices
on a Measure of Importance, permit one who
has your Welfare moll anxiously at Heart to State the
Matter as it is. On the 2d Instant the Committee
published an Advertisement to call you together,
upon the Business therein expressed. They do not
pretend that this is in Consequence of any Powers
you have vested them with; it is therefore a Proposal
coming from them as so many Individuals. On
Friday the 3d Instant, a Number of Citizens equally
reputable in their Chara&eis with the Members of
the Committee, and far superior in Numbers upon
mature Deliberation conceived that this Measure ought
to be pofponed. Every Person who wants the Sanction
of your Approbation should maintain his Proposals
with Reasons, and the Advocates for postponing the
Question have assigned a Number in Support of it.
Thefeyou have seen in a Hand-Bill, and you are the
Judges of the Weight they deserve. What Argu
ments there are to bafen and precipitate this Question
is not known, nor is it proper in the Hurry and Con
fufion of a Crowd, to difeufs Questions which require
Time and Attention for a sober judicious Determina
tion. It seems proper therefore topofipone this Quel
tion, from which no disadvantage can possibly arise.
A FREEMAN.
IT has been the Practice of some People in this
City upon all Occasions in order to defeat the well
meant Endeavours of its real Friends to misrepresent
their Intentions. With this View it has been artfully
propagated that the Citizens who assembled at Mon
tanye's on Friday had resolved to oppose tbe Appointment
of Delegates. Disposed as I am as an Individual
for the Measure of Delegates, I was alarmed at this
Insinuation, and having attentively considered the
Proceedings of tbe Meeting on Friday, find that the
Report is entirely falfe, and calculated to mijlead you.
The only Measure proposed by the Friends of Con
stitutional Liberty is, that the Nomination
of Delegates may be postponed, the Time
appointed by the Committee being /d fort, as not to
admit of deliberating on tbe most proper Mode of
electing them, and of framing proper Infractions for
their Government. The Method proposed by the
Committee being extremely exceptionable, and such
as will put this City, which pays one third of the
Taxes of the Colony, upon a Footing with the smallest
County in it. A BURGER.
