In Centroverfies turning upon Principles of the deepest
Policy, and of such amazing Magnitude, as to involve
the Provinces in the most distressing Perplexities, the
glorious Work of redoring the common Tranquillity, and
eftablifliing an intimate and permanent Union between all
the Parts of the Empire, must (under God) ultimately
depend upon the Wisdom and Benignity of the Crown,
and the Justice and Magnanimity of the British Nation.
Gladly shall we seize every Opportunity, to efte& a
Reconciliation between Countries, whose Interests are so
infeperable, that the true Patriot of either must be a
real Friend to both : And while the Means to this defire
able End, employ the Councils of the Nation, our most
vigorous Efforts shall be Readily exerted, tQ prevent the
deftru&ive Consequences of Anarchy and Confufion.
It affords us great Relief in this critical Hour, to find
your Honor heartily disposed to promote the fame salutary
Designs : And it adds to our Conlolation, that in so
alarming a Conjuncture, this Colony has, in her chief
Governor, an Advocate near the Throne, upon whose
distinguished Abilities, and active and generous Benevo
lence, Men of all Ranks amongst us rely, with the
firmeft Confidence, for a true and faithful Representation
of our Condition and Character.

CADWALLADER COLDEN, Esq;
His Majesty's Lieutenant-Governor, and Commander
in Chief, in and over the Colony of Neva-York, and
the Territories defending thereon in America.
The humble ADDRESS of the General
Assembly of the said Colony.
Ma, it pleafeyour Honor,
"' '" s Majesty's ni °ft dutiful and loyal Sub-
VV je&s, the General Assembly of the Colony
of New-York, beg Leave to return your Honor pur
most hearty Thanks for your Speech.
The Affurancts your Honor has given us" of
cheerfully promoting whatever may be conducive to
the Dignity of his Majesty's Government, and the
Happiness of the People in this Colony, merit our
most grateful Acknowledgments.
The Provision for the Support of his Majesty's
Government, and the neceflary Allowances for his
Service, /hall be the Obje&s of our Attention, toge
ther with the ordinary Business of the Session.
Affe&ed with the deepest Concern by the diftrefled
State of the Colonies, and impressed with a due
Sense of the fatal Consequences attending the un
happy Dilpute between Great-Britain and bis Majesty's
American Dominions, we feel the most afflicting anxi
ety at this alarming Crisis. Fully convinced that
the Happiness of our Constituents depends greatly
on the Wisdom of our prefect Meaferes, we shall ex
ercise the important Trust they have reposed in us
with Firmness and Fidelity; and with Calmness
and Deliberation pursue the most pro
bable Means to obtain a Redress of our
Grievances : And it affords us the highest Satif
fa&ion to hear, from your Honor, that our most
gracious Sovereign will be attentive to the Complaints
of his American Subje&s, and ready, with paternal
Tenderness, to grant us Relief. Anxious for the
Interest and Happiness of our Country, and earnestly
follicitous for the Re-establishment of Harmony with
Great-Britain, we shall discountenance every Measure
which may tend to increase our Distress ; and, by
our Conduct, shew ourselves truly desirous of a cor
dial and permanent Reconciliation with cur parent
Kingdom.
The Absence of our most worthy Governor in
Chief, whose upright Concilia so deservedly acquired
him the Affe&ions of the Colony, will, we have the
strongest Reason to expe&, be less sensibly felt from
the wife Administration of his experienced Successor.
The Confidence your Honor has been pleased to re
pose in our Attachment to our happy Constitution,
and our Regard for the Interest and Prosperity of the
British Empire, demands the Exertion of our most
strenuous Efforts to co-operate with you in endea
vouring to restore the Tranquility so ardently desired
by all true Friends to the Mother Country' and the
Colonies.

Charleftown, (S. Carolina) Jan. 6.
Letters from Welt-Florida inform us, That in the
beginning of November last, the Mortar, a Chief
of the Creek Indians, -with upwards of eighty
Warriors in ten Canoes, went from the Upper Creek
Town down the Alibama River to Tania, and from
thence proceeded to Mr. Strother's Plantation opposite
Mobille, where were about thirty Cho&aw Indians,
who called to them, and then fired into their Canoes ;
the Creeks immediately landed, but one of them was
accidently shot by his own Piece in getting out of the
Canoe ; the other Warriors mounted the Bluff, and
the Choctaws took shelter in Mr. Strother's House,
which being built of Logs, was Musket Proof.
Mi-. Strother, his Wife and Children, escaped only
with what Cloaths they had on. The House was
soon after burnt to the Ground, but the besieged had
undermined the Foundation and got into the Kitchen,
which being likewise burnt, they retreated to a little
Garden adjoining, which was inclofed with Pickets,
and they defended themfeives till fix mote of the
Creeks were killed and as many wounded. The
Mortar then told his People that this was not the
proper Method of Attack, for as they were numerous
enough to eat the Cho&aws up, they ought to break
in upon them at all Events ; after desiring them to
follow him, he ran up to the Fence, though he had
then a Flesh Wound in his Thigh, and pulled down
two of the Pickets with his own Hands, when he
was shot through the Body. His People having
carried him off, retired, and allowed the Choctaws to
escape during the Night, after a Siege which had
lasted near three Days. Four of the Cho&aws were
killed and two wounded, one of them very (lightly.
The Mortar being aiked if he did not think his Life
in danger from his, Wounds, replied, That if any
Cho&aw Bullet could have killed him he would have
been dead long ago. Three of the ten Canoes
returned immediately with the Mortar and the rest
of the wounded ; the other seven, with Tipoe, a
Head Man and second in Command, proceeded to
Mobille Point, where he expe&ed to meet a very
considerable Body from the Lower Creek Towns ;
but the largest Batteau being damaged, he went up
Mobi lie River to a Place called Hay's Bluff, where two
more of the Party were killed by the Cho&aws, and
it is believed that all that were left then returned home.
About the middle of November the other Party,
confiding of upwards of an hundred and sixty War
riors from the Lower Creek Towns, went to the
Westward as far as Beloxi or Prefqu'ifle, destroying
the Cattle wherever they went ; Mr. Klebs alone loft
thirty head; they took only the Tongues and Tallow
of most of them. They made no Secret that if the
Mortar had not been so unfortunate, they were all to
have gone to New-Orleans, to have got a French
Officer there to have given their Peace Talk to the
Cho&aws, and to have sent French Traders by that
Route to their Country. They even hoped that he
could persuade the French King to fend as many
Troops as, joined with them and the Choctaws,
would drive both the English and Spaniards out of
the Country.
It is laid, that notwithstanding the late bloody
A&ion, the Creeks have lent a Peace Talk to the
Cho&aws, telling them they came not intentionally
against them.
The Houmas, a final! Tribe of Indians on the
Eastern Side of the Miffifippi, have lately fold their
Village to a Person at New-Orleans, named Conway,
and three Leagues front on the River, which has been
approved of by the Spanish Governor. They are to
go to the Western Side of the Miffifippi.
