INDIAN CORN to be fold by Mair M'Cle
nachan.
A LARGE Serviceable CARRIAGE HORSE, seven years
old next spring, to be SOLD. For farther particulars
apply to JOHN HALES, at whole fiables, in Lombard
ftiect, Said horse may be Seen,
" Upon the whole, it did not appear to your Committee, that
his Lordship's coirmiffion contained any other authority of
importance than what is expressed in the aft of Parliament,
viz. that of granting pardons with such exceptions as the
Commissioner's Shall think proper to make, and of declaring
America orany part of it to be in the King's peace, upon fub
miflicn. For as to the power of inquiring into the State of
America, which his Lordfnip mentioned to. us, and of con
ferring and confuting with any persons the Commissioners
might think proper, and representing the relult of Such con
versations to trie Ministry, who (provided the colonies would
Subject themselves) might after all, or might not, at their
pleasure, make any alterations in the former instructions to
Governors, or propos'd. in Parliament any amendment of the
acts complained of, we apprehended any expectation from the
effect of Such a power would have been too uncertain and pre
carious to be relied on by America, , had She kill continued in
her State of dependance."
^p then entered into a difeourfe of eonfderable length,
which contained no explicit proportion of peace except one,
viz. that the colonies Should return to their allegiance and
obedience to the government of Great-Britain. '1 nered con
fided principally of affurance^ that there was an exceeding
good oifpohtion in the King and his Ministers to make that
government easy to us ; with intimations that in case of our
lubmiffion they would caufethe offensive a&s of Parliament to
be reviled, and the instructions to Governors to be reconsidered,
that so if aayjuft causes of complaint were found in the alls,
or any errors in government were perceived to have crept into
the instructions, they might be amended or withdrawn.
“ We gate it as our opinion to his Lordship, that a return to
the domination of Great-Britain was not now to be expected.
We mentioned the repeated humble petitions of the colonies
to the .King and Parliament, which had been treated with
contempt, and answered only by additional injuries ; the un
exampled patience we had shown under their tyrannical go
vernment, .and that it was not till the last ad of Parliament,
which denounced war against us, and put us out of the
King's protection, that we declared our independar.ee. That
this declaration had been called for by the people of the co
lonies in general, that every colony had approved of it when
made, and all now considered themselves as Independant
States, and were fettling er had fettled their governments ac
cordingly; So that it was not in the power ot the Congreis to
agree tor them that they Should return to their former depen
dant State. That there was no doubt of their inclination to
peace, and their willingness to enter into a treaty with Britain
that might be advantageous to both countries. That though
his Lordship had at prelent no power to treat with (hem as inde
pendent States, he might, if there was the same good dif
ppfition in Britain, much sooner obtain freih powers from
thence Ser that purpefe, than powers could be obtained by
CongreL from the Several colonies, to content to a Submission.
His Lordship then, faying that he was lorry to find that no
accommodation was like to take place, .put an end to the
conference.
