To give a particular account of the ravages of the
troops as they retreated from Concord to Charlef
town, would be very difficult, if not impracticable ;
let it fuffice to fay, that a great number, of the houses on
the road were plundered and rendered unfit for use,
several were burnt, women in child-bed were driven
by the soldiery naked into the (beets, old men peace
ably in their houses were (hot dead, and such Irenes
exhibited as would disgrace the annals of the most
uncivilized nation.,
These, brethren, are marks of ministerial venge
ance agajnft this Colony, 'for refuting with her fitter
colonies a submission to slavery ; but they have not
yet detached us from our royal Sovereign. We pro
fefs to be his loyal and dutiful fubje&s, and so hard
ly dealt with as we have been, are (till ready with our
lives and fortunes to defend his perform family, crown
and dignity. Nevertheless, to the persecution and
tyranny of his cruel Ministry we will not tamely fub
rnit--. appealing to Heaven for the justice of our cauie,
we determine to die or be free.
We cannot think that the honour, wisdom and
valour of Tritons will fuffer them to be longer inac
tive fpe&ators of measures in which they themselves
are so deeply interested—measures purftfed in oppo
sition to the ictemn protells of many noble Lords,
and expressed fqnfe of conspicuous Commbhers, whose
knowledge and virtue have long characterised them
as some of the greatest men in tltenatich—meafuies
executing contrary to the interest, petitions and re
solves of many large, refpe&able and opulent coun
ties, cities and boroughs of Great-Britain---measures
highly incompatible with justice, but still pursued
with a specious pretence of easing the nation of its
burthens,-- Measures, which if fuccefsful mud end
in the ruin and slavery of Britain as well as the per
secuted American Colonies.
We sincerely hope that the great sovereign of the
vniverfe, who hath so often appeared for tbe Englilh
nation, will support you in every rational and mainly
exertion with these Colonies, for saving it from ruin,
and that, in a constitutional connection with the Mo
ther Country, we (hall soon be altogether a free and
happy people. By Order,

CAMBRIDGE, May 12.
Copy of a Letter to his Excellency General Gage, from
the Hon. Jonathan Trumbull, Esq; Governor
of his Majesty's Colony of Connecticut, in behalf of
the General Assembly of said Colony.
SIR, Dated Hartford, April 28, 1775.
TH^ alarming situation of public affairs in this
country, and the late unfortunate transactions in
the province of the Massachusetts-Bay, have induced the
General Assembly of this colony, now fitting in this
place, to appoint a committee of their body to wait upon
your Excellency, and to desire me, in their name, to write
to you relative to these very'interefting matters.
The inhabitants of this colony are intimately con
nected with the. people of your province, and esteem
themselves bound by the strongest ties of friendship, as
well as of common interest, to regard with attention
whatever concerns them. You will not therefore be
surprised that your firft arrival at Boston, with a body of
his Majesty's troops, for the declared purpose of carrying
into execution certain aCts of parliament, which, in their
apprehension, were unconstitutional and oppressive, should
have given the good people of this colony a very just
and general alarm ; your subsequent proceedings in forti
fying the town of Boston, and other military preparati
and more of the regular troops were killed and
Saturday Afternoon the Brig Charming Peggy, Capt.
John Lawrence, arrived here from Falmouth, in 6
Weeks; by him we learn that all the A&s depend
ing in Parliament, relative to American Affairs,
had received the Royal Assent; and that the Packet
for this Port, was to fail the Day after him: The
only Paragraphs worthy Notice, (that we have
either Room or Time to insert) we find in the
Papers as late from London as theist April, are as
follow, viz.
Westminster, April I.
THIS Day's Gazettee contains a Proclamation of
the States General of the United Provinces,
prohibiting the Exportation of warlike Stores frond
Holland in Englilh, Foreign, or Dutch Ships, to the
British Plantations in America, for fix Months.
Yesterday, at one o'Clock, Mr. Lane, Mr. Molle
fon, and Mr. Bridgen, from the Committee of North-
American Merchants, waited on his Majesty at St.
James's, and presented the Petition of the Merchants
of the City of London, trading to North-America ;
which his Majesty received very graciously.
It is strongly reported in the city, thatthe Ministry
Shave received within these two days some very alarm
ing intelligence from our Ambassador at Berlin. It
is also said that his Prussian Majesty has an eye upon
Hanover till he is paid the three millions of subsidy
due to him ever since Lord Chatham went out of
Administration, and which Lord Bute, who succeed
ed Lord Chatham, peremptorily refufed to pay.

In PROVINCIAL CONGRESS,
Water-Town, April 26th, 1775.
To the Inhabitants of Great-Britain.
Friends and Fellow Subjects,
HOSTILITIES are at length commenced in
this Colony by the troops under the command
of General Gage, and it being of the greatest im
portance, that an early, true, and authentic account
of this inhuman proceeding should be known to you,
the Congress of this Colony have transmitted the
fame, and from want of a session of the Hon. Con
tinental Congress, think it proper to address you on
the alarming occasion.
By the cleared depositions relative to this tranfac
fion, it will appear that on the night preceding the
nineteenth of April instant, a body of the King's
troops.under command of Colonel Smith, were se
cretly landed at Cambridge, with an apparent design
fa take or destroy the military and other stores pro
vided for the defence of this Colony, and deposited
at Concord---that some inhabitants of the Colony on
the night aforefaid, whilst travelling peaceably on the
road between Boston and Concord, were seized and
greatly abused by armed men, who appeared to be
Officers of General Gage's army, that the town of
Lexington by these means was alarmed, and a com
pany of the inhabitants mustered on the occasion---
that the regular troops on their way to Concord,
marched into the said town of Lexington, and the
said company on their approach began to difpWfe---
that notwithstanding this, the regulars rushed on
with great violence and firft began humilities, by fir
ing on said Lexington company, whereby they killed
eight and wounded several others---that the.regulars
continued their fire, until those of said Company,
who were neither killed nor wounded, had made
their efcape,---that Col. Smith with the detachment
then marched to Concord, where a number of pro
vincials were again fired on by the troops, two of
them killed and several wounded,' before the provin
cials fired on them, and that these hostile meafores
of the troops produced an engagement that lasted
through the day, in which many of the provincials
Hi $ Excellency General Gage s Hnfroer, to the foregoing Letters
Dated Bofien, May 3d, 1775.
SIR,
lAmI Am to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of tbez^tb
of April la/1, in behalf of the General Afemsly oj your
colony, relative to tbe alarming Jitnation cf public afatrs m
this "country, and the late tranftiaions in this province : That
this fruaQn is greatly alarming, and that these tranfaEiions
are truly unfortunate, are truths to be regretted by every
friend to America', and by every well-vjifher for the peace,
prosperity and katftriefs of this provine'e. The intimate con
nexion' andflrong lies of friendship between the inhabitants : vf
your colony, and the deluded people if this ^province, cannot
fail of inducing the former, to interpose their good offices, to
convince the letter of the impropriety Of their pap. conduct,
and to persuade them to return to tbeir allegiance, and to feck
redress of any supposed grievances, in those decent and conjii
tutlonal methods in which alone they can hope to be . JuAcejsfuL
That troops should be employed for tbe pingoje of proreaing
the magistrates in the execution of their duty, when opposed
with violence, is not a new thing in tb^Enghfe. or any ester
government ; That any afls of the British Parliament are
uriconftitutional or oppressive, 1 am not tojupp'fe i if any such
there are, in the apprehension of the peopled cuts province, it
had been happy for them if they had fought relief, only in the
way which the constitution, their reason, and tbeir interest
pointed-out.
"You cannot wonder at my fortifying the town" of Befen, or
making any other military preparations, neben yate art afured,
that previous to my taking these ftps, Jucb was the open
threats, and such the warlike preparations throughout this
province as rendered it my indijpenfable' duty to take every
precaution in my power, for the protection of bit Majesty's
troops under my command, against all bojiite attempts; The
intelligence you seem to have received; relative to the late ex
burjion of a body of troops into the country, is altogether inju
rious and 'contrary to : the the fate if falls ; the troops de
claim, with indignation, the barbarous outrages if which they
are accused, so contrary to their known humanity. I have
taken the yreatef pains to discover f any were committed,
and havefound examples of their tende/nefs both to the young
and the oldpbutro ve/hgeof crueltyor barbarity : Tt ifver,
'pcffible that in firing into houfes,ft an 'vdhtnee they were ficd
upon, that old people, women.h children, may bavl fffirtd ;
but ifdry such thing has happened, it was in their defence,
and ilndtfgned. I have no command to ravage and deflate
the country, andtuere it my intention I have bad pretence 40
begin it, upon'thef^a ports, who are at the mercy of the fleet.
Foryrur better information I inclfe you a narrative eg tl. at
affair,taker from gentlernen efindifputdblc honor and toutisy,
who were eye-WitHlfes of all She tradfatnons vs that day.
The loaders here br>bk taken pains to prevent any account of
this affair getting abroad, but such as they have thought pro
per to publish themselves ; and to that end the post has been
flopped, the mails broke open, and letters taken out ; and by
these means the most insurious and inflammatory accounts have
been spread throughout the continent, which has served to
deceive and inflame the minds of the people.
When the resolves of the Provincial Congress breathed no
thing but war, when those two great and rffential preroga
tives of the King, the levying if troops, and difpfiwgrof the
public monies, were abrefted from him ; and when magazines
were forming by an assembly of men; unknown to tbe con/hiu'-
tiort, for the declared purpose of levying war against tbe
King, you mus acknowledge it was my duty, as it was the
dißate wf humanity to prevent, if pcffible, the calamities of
civil dear, by defraying such magazines.--'.-This, and this
alone, I attempted. You ask why is the fawn of Boston now
shut up ? I can only refer you, for an an/duer, to those bodies
cf armed men who now surround the town, and prevent all
access to it. Tbe hostile preparations you mention, are such
as the conduct of tbe people of this, province, has rendered it
prudent to make, for tbe defence of thoft under my command.
You afure me the people of four colony abhor, the idea of tak
ing arms against tbe troops of tbeir Sovereign; Iwifh the people
of this province, for tbeir own fakes, coulfmaketbe fame decla
ration. You enquire, is there no was to prevent this;unhappy
dispute from coming to extremities.? Is there no alternative,
but absolute submission, or the desolations of war F I answer,
I bope there is ; the King and Parliament seem to, bold out
terms of reconciliation, confident with tbe bonor. and interest of
Great-Britain, and the rights and privileges of the colonies ;
they have mutually declared tbeir readings to attend to any
real grievances of tbe colonies, and to afford them every just
and reasonable indulgence, which feall, in a duttfuhand con
flitutional manner, be laid before them ; and bis Majesty adds,
it is bis ardent wish that this difyojitim may have .a happy
effeX on tbe temper and conduX of bis fubjeas in America :
I muff add likewise tbe resolution of tbe zytb February, on tbe
grand dispute of taxation and revenue, leaving it to tbe colo
nies to tax themselves, under certain, conditions ; here is surely
a foundation for an accommodation, to people who wish a
reconciliation rather than a defiruXive war, between countries
so nearly connected by tbe ties of blood and interest ; but Ifear
that tbe leaders of this province have been, and fill are, intent
only on fbedding blood.
lam much obliged by your favourable sentiments of my
personal ebaratfer, and fy^reyou, as it has been my confant
bh§ greatly increased their apprehension for the fafety of
their friends and brethren ; they could not be unconcerned
fpefytors of : 'their bufferings in that which they esteemed
the common cause of this country ; but the late hostile
and secret inroads of some of the troops under your
command into the heart of the country, and the violences
they have committed, have driven them almost into a
state of desperation. They feel now not only for their
friends, but for themselves, and their dearest interests
and connexions. We wiffi hot to exaggerate, we are
not sure of every part of our information; but, by the
best intelligence that we have yet been able to obtain, the
late tranfaXion was a most unprovoked attack upon the
lives and property of his Majesty's fubjeXs; and it is
reprefehted to us, that such outrages have been committed
as would disgrace even barbarians, and much more Bri
tons, so highly famed for humanity as well as bravery :
It is feared therefore that we are devoted to deftruXioh,
and that you have it in command and intention, to ravage
and desolate the country. If this is not the case, permit
us to aik, why have these outrages been committed ?
Why is the town of Boston now (but up And to what end
are all the hostile preparations that are daily making, and
why do we continually hear of frefh declinations of troops 1
for this country ? The people of this colony, you may
rely upon it, abhor the idea of taking arms against the|
troops of their Sovereign, and dread nothing so much as
the horrors of civil war; but at the fame time we beg 1
leave to assure your Excellency, that as they, apprehendj
themselves juftified by the principle of felf defence, so
they are most firmly resolved to defend their rights and
privileges to the last extremity ; nor will they be retrained |
from giving aid to their brethren, if any unjuftifiable |
attack is made upon them. Be so good, therefore, as to I
explain yourfelf Upon this most important fubje&, as|
far as is continent with your duty to our common So-I
vereign:---ls there no way to prevent this unhappy cif
pute from coming to extremities ? Is there no alternative 1
butabfolute submission, or the desolations pf war? By that|
humanity which constitutes so amiable a part of your cha- 1
raster, for the honour of our Sovereign, and by the|
glory of the British empire, we intreat you to prevent it, ,
if it be possible ; surely it is to be hoped that the tempe-;
rate wisdom of the empire might, even yet, find expe-I
dients to restore peace, that so all parts of the empirel
may enjoy their particular rights, honors, and immuni
ties : Certainly this is an event most devoutly to bel
wiflied for; and will it not be confident with your duty, I
to suspend the operations of war on your part, and enable |
us on purs to quiet the minds of the people, at least, tilll
the result of some further deliberations may be known.
The importance of the occasion will, we doubt not, fuf-|
ficiently apologize for the earnedhefs with which we|
addrefs.you, and' any seeming impropriety which mayl
attend it, as well as induce you to give us the most ex-1
plicit and favourable answer in your power.
I am, with great esteem and rcfpeX,
