'•tier accident, to Ripply the vacancy with a facceffion
of other officers, who may be eventually called to the
C ommand, by commissions granted for the purpose ;
and that the Prince and hrs General, have been ac
quainted with this eventual arrangement, and have
acqirl'ced in it ? I think it proper befoie I fit down,
to allude to one circumstance in which I took part,
but in which I was most egregiously deceived; I
mean the vote I gave refpe&ing the Massachusetts
Bay Charter bill. To induce me to gift that vote,
I was informed, that the alteration of the Charter
was at the express desire of the merchants, and a
great majority of the people of property and conse
quence, inhabiting that Province. I have since dif
cevered that I was deceived ; for that at the time,
as well as since, the very contrary was the fa&. It
has been indeed the uniform praflice, since the com
mencement of this business, to giteftiffe informal;,
on, or proceed on honeCT save therefore only tq
declare, thatl would never have given my fanaion
to that law, if I had not been led into error by a
falfe state es the matter ;, and though I unhappily
fell into the snare laid for me, I am now free, to de
clare, that the law for altering the Charter of Mafia
chufetts Bay, was in every rtfpe& oppreHive, impo
litic, and unconftitutionab; and if coupled with the
claim of taxation, I am fully juftified in maintain
ing, that a& one leaves the fubje& no property, the
other deprives him of every natural and political
right ; and that they are both ecfually deft unlive of
the inalienable privileges of an Englishman, and
the natural rights to which all mankind are en
titled, if not stripped of them by fraud, force, or
injustice.
Lord Suffolk. I presume the noble Dike th the
blue ribbon mifundei flood what I said ; for I do not
presume his Grace had any intention of mifreprefent
mg my words. Ido not,fay or mean, that I had any
doubt whether the Commander in Chief, though a
junior officer, had a right to command the Heffiah
General. I positively and unconditionally averted,
be had, and only referred to the noble Lords prelent,,
conversant in military affairs, in proof of that affec
tion. As to the other point the noble Duke alluded to,
the fame rule which prevails in ref,e& of the Com
mander in Chief, will, of course, take place in the
person, of whoever may be appointed, dr happen to
succeed him.
Lord Sandwich. If did not intend to trouble your
Lordships on the present occasion, had I not been
particularly called on by the noble Duke who made
the motion; and to fit another noble Duke (Duke of
Manchester) right refpt&ing feme points on which
he seems to be mifinfermed. My noble relation'has
informed your Lordships, that the Town of Norfolk
in Virginia, has been burnt and delhoyed ; and has|
•accompanied his narrative, with several exaggerated
tircumftances attending that affair. J will tell the ;
noble Duke how the matter, really happened. One I
of our fllips of war, being in great difttefs for water,I
failed to Norfolk in order to procure it, and applied !
to the inhabitants, who, instead of complying withl
the common dilates es humanity, fiied on the flag
of truce, and killed or wounded two or three of ourl
men. This occasioned what afterwards happened, ,
and cauted the town to be burnt. Ido not believe itl
is yet burnt. The inhabitants of Norfolk were foI
cruel and barbarous, that the whole crew mutt have I
perished for want of frefh water, had it not been for|
the relief they procured by the distillation of fait
water. It was not the men of war’s men that burnt
Norfolk ; it was the inhabitants themselves. I do not
know that it is ,et burnt ; the Norfolk people set fire
to the town ; that is, the fire from the man of war
set fiie to part es it, and the inhabitants burnt the
rest. The noble Duke who made the motion has
entertained your Lordships a great while, relative to
the appointing and superseding of officers. His
Grace has done me the honour to advert to me fie
quently in the course of his obfeivations. I will
tell the noble Duke, that he is both mistaken in his
has and conje&uies. Admiral Greaves was not
dilmiffed ncr recalled ; nor was there the leatt ob-’
pedion to his conduct as an officer ; on the contrary,
hi; Majesty, to shew the good opinion he entertains
of his services, has appointed him a Vice-Admiral.
As to Admiral Shuldham being superseded in the
Supreme command, he never imagined or thought
^at he was to command in chief. He only succeeded
,AJmfral Greaves, and as the service was to be ex
tended and car tied on upon a larger scale, it became
I taeceffary that focre Admirals than one should be
employed; not that I know Admiral Shuldham
bntaus to remain on the American Ration. I assure
the noble Duke, that the appointment of Lord Howe
did not originate with me, though I think him a
very able and deserving officer; yet neither was I
^ter ruled in the Cabinet; for, understanding that
his Lordfllip ruifhed for the command, I was baity
in having an opportunity of gratifying his defines,
^nd furthering the appointment of so capable a man.
The febic Duke fays, that the servants of the crown,
who Support the meafmes now pursuing againit
America, finely difappreve of them, and elprefs
their dikpprobation of them in private company. 1
do not pretend to fay what company the noble Duke
keeps who so confidentially impart,their opinions to
h : m; but this I will venture to affirm, that I con
verse both publicly and privately with them all ; and
tint I never heard them express the least disapproba
tion whatever of the present measures. The noble
Duke fays, that though we have ships, we have not
inen Efficient toman them. In this the noble Duke
is equally mistaken ; for of the whole compliment of
able teamen necessary for the twenty guard ships, there
is only five hundred wanting ; and I will add ano
ther piece of intelligence, no less fatal to another ar
gument made use of by his Grace, which is, that so
far from the men being avetfe to the service, this
y ry deficiency in the complement of the guardfbips
his a?den from a most uncommon alacrity in the
inert for the American service, who have been en
tered, choosing to serve in America in preference to
flaying at home. On the whole, the five hundred
men deficient could be procured in a few days, which,
with the ordinary seamen and landmen, would ena
ble the twenty guardfllips, that lire all of the line of
battle, to proceed to sea in the course of a week ;
and suppose any difficulty ffiould arise, we should
procure more than fufficient at the shortest notice ;
so that taking it in either light, we are prepared for
any sudden event or emergency whatever. [During
the Whole of this speech, there was a general laugh
or titter pervaded the whole House on both sides of
the bar.J
Lord foenfcd, I believe the noble Duke’s fo
licuude, telative to whom the command would in
volve on, its case of the death of the Commands in
Clmf, is totally unneceffary^as I take it, the next se
nior officer would succeed of course. I remember
this was the case during the late war in America.
Fieft, a noble Lord, a member of this House, (Lord
Loudon) had the chief command. Afterwards Ge
neral Abercrombie ; and though Colonel Stanwix
was the next senior officer when Sir Jeffery Amherst
was appointed Commander in Chief, the supreme
command immediately veiled in Sir Jeffery.
Lord Ljttleton. My sentiments on the present fub
je& are pretty well known. I ffiall only observe
now, that lenient ineafuics have only brought insult
after intuit ; that the more we co: c.^'ed, the higher
America has risen in her demands ; and the moe
insolent she has grown. It is for that reason that I am
now for the most efle&ive and deeifive measures ;
and am of opinion, that no alternative is left us, but
to relinquish America for ever, or finally determine
to compel her to ^knowledge the legislative fupr€-
macy of this courcry.' Ido no, pretend ro de
cide, in the present filiation of both countries, h.w
far it may be expedient to infirt cm taxes, for the
pose cf raising a revenue; not but it is evident; w!
are fully competent to demand them. However, it
is plain, when they return to a proper state of obeciri
ence, that the right is with us, and that we may ax
ercife it according to circumstance, and loeal conve
nience. In the event of cm prevailing in this conto,
it is the principle of an unconditional submission, )
would be for maintaining ; not that I would he Lr
pushing tl< consequences of this do&rine to its foil
extent. I think bro ri^ht once fully roftabliftwd and
acknowledged, Groat-Britain ought by all means
to secure to the people of that country, those privih ^ c ,
and immunities to which every native fubi & of this
fiee government is confefledly entitled.
Lord Camden made a meft elaborate and able
fpeftb on the occasion. He flawed on various
grounds, the difference between mercenaries, iho
merely fought for money, and allies, who had an even
tual interest in the success of the war. He contended,
that the troops taken into our pay under the present
treaties, were mere hirelings in the proper ft^fe of
the description. He pointed out the evil conf.quences
of the present measures, relative to the national debt.
He computed the expences of the present campaign
at th^ film of ten millions, and endeavoured to prove,
that the excess of the expenditure this year, more
than the annual supplies, would amount to as much
as the whole debt we had difeharged in the course
of a thirteen years pease. He infilled that the ex
pence would continue to increase, as long as the war
should last : and that in that event, a national bank
ruptcy must be the confluence. His Lordflrip next
turned his attention to America, observed that they
had resources within themfetoes; that the present
measures would have a double effect in enabling them
to refill, by the means of the very money sent to this
country for fuperfluities; which fuperfluities they
would,' from necessity, either manufi&ure or procure
from other countries. Thus the present measures,
if adhered to, would,have every possible bsd Conse
quence that could be imagined. It would increase
our debt, it would burden the nation entirely be
yond its abilities, it would teach America ^ ma
nufa&ure for itfelf, it would of course lower our
exports, and injure our manufactures ; and more
Lord Shelburne. An insinuation, my Lords, has
been thrown out, in order to give a fan&ion to the
present measures, that a certain Eail (Chatham)
whom I do not this day fee in his place, has changed
±is former opinions refpe&ing them ; but I will ven
ture to affirm, without any dire& information oh
that head, that it is equally groundless and ill
founded. I am lure I can answer so far as to fay, that
in the several difeourfes, he has done me the honour
to hold with me on the fubjea, nothing leading, or
even ending that way, has ever escaped him ; be
sides, his motion, and the consequent step taken by
his Lordfllip, which remain on your Lordship's Jour
nals, put the matter beyond doubt or uncertainty.
His plan, since the firft commencement of this bufi
-Inets has been conciliation, not coercion. So mu^h
has been already said on the fubjea of the treaties,
now on veur Lordships table, that I flrail trouble
you very little, further than to express my aftonifh
roent at a language which has been held this day, in
relation to the employment of foreigners. It creates
v juble wonder, when coming from the supporters of
the present measures, agairift whose profeffed system
of pokey it militates, in the most marked contradic
tion. Ihe ddgrine is shortly this ; when you have
any extensive operations of war to carry on, keep I
your own irfen at home employed in our mariufac-I
tores and agriculture, and tru, the defence of the
empire, and commit the prosecution of your molt
eCential interest, to Foreigners ! Your country is
linall and insignificant in paint of members ; the 1
.CW Lands you have, are Wanting at home: and I
Should you employ them in war, poor country Would
be ruined’; the plough and loom must inttatl, har&j
Kill. "Is this, my Lords, a language 'to be f4±*r|

House, without fuijeaing its authors to ridicule and (
fierifion? Were thole the sentiments which prevailed
during the late war, when we had at one time itb'lMs
than 350,000 natives in adua! service ; and when the
wade number we employed, amounted to no lets
than 4.18,000 men ; Will any man fay that our ma
nufactures flood fill for avanr of bands, when our|
fronts increased full two millions annually, and wired
noth our exports and imports exceeded any dung
known in former times ? Could we thirteen years'
h b 0 > feare 350,000 men, for carrying on the opera-:
fions of war, and carry on our manufactures to an ;
extent, never bertY known ; and shall it be this day 1
gravely contended, that we cannot raise a fifth part;
of the number, without ruining out roanufaaures,
which consideration obliges us to apply for afliftance
to twojmhiy German States, as the only means ofj
picturing our political hlration ? Such arguments ,
would forprilc ime, coming from any quarter ; but
much more so, from a set of men, who, have uni-,
firmly condemned all itercourfe with the Conti- f

liemember a noble Duke, now no more, whom I 1
locked upon to be a very able man, and a noble Farl,l
both of whom have been mentioned in the courte of j
this debate (Duke of Bedford and Lord Bute) during 1
the late war, and at the conclusion of the fare peace,j
held it as a point %?/ to be departed from, that this ;
country could fulfill without any alliance on the !
Continent. I know that a noble Eari (Lord Chat- !
ham) who condu&ed that war, was of the fame opi-:
nion; and justified his zondua by frequently d.cla-I
ting in private and public, « that he did not bring ;
us to the Continent, that he found us there." We■
all know, that this fykem at lift prevailed ; andahatj
it has been the uniform politics of the present re,gnl
to adhere to that system. Shall we now be told, byGe 1
16me men, a&iig up to the fame rule, for m :c?Q n]
fourteen years, that the system is a bad one r that ;
abiances on the Continent muff be formed; that we 1
have not men fufficient in the nation to defe d a ^ 1 [

Lord Weymouth. The noble Duke in the blue rib
bon, and the noble Lord who spoke last, happened,
to be both in administration as the time the ad was /
pafled, which laid on the duties that were the origi
nal cause of all the present difthrbances. It is some
what extraordinary that they should now complain of
their own afts, and come before your Lordfllips and

that appears to the contrary, originated from tkein

Duke of Grafton. I confefs I occupied a very high
and refpeflable post in adtriinifttation, when the du
ties in 1767 were Iqid upon tea, paper, painters co
lours and glass. 1 am, however, extremely well
pleased to have an opportunity of explaining what
yet has not been effectually cleared up. In tl|at year,
when the expences incurred on account of America
were laid before the House of Commons, the Houle
role as one man almott, and infixed that that country
should contribute to the burdens brought on by the
military establishment there ; and a motion was made
for bringing in a bill for that purpose. I ftrenubufly
opposed the measure, as big with the conEquences
it has since unfortunately produced. I spoke to my
-friends upon the occasion, but they all united in opi
nion, that the tide was too strong to expert to either
dem or turn it, so as to prevent whatever might ^
offered in that shape from paffinjf into a law. Find
ing that all my efforts would be in vain; I was com
pelled to submit, but was refojved, as far aS lay in
my power to prevent the effect ; and while I gave
&way, to do it in such a manner as would cause letft
hatn : I accordingly proposed the tea dutyas the most
palatable ; because trough it anfwere'd the main pur
pefu of those with whom taxation was a favourite
measure, it was doing America an Immediate bene
fit ; for I procured tire shilling, a pound duty to be
taken off, and three pence to be laid on it in lieu
thereof ; so that, in fa&, it was nine pence a pound
faring to America. However, the attempt was re
ceived in America as 1 expected it would. It imme
diately caused disturbances, and universal diffitisLc
tioh. 1^4769, therefore, I moved in the Cabinet
for a repeal, and was ont-vofed (if I recolka right)
by a majority of one. This, therefore, was the part
I took in this fatal brnlihefs. When the partial re
peal was agreed to in Council, I intreated and con
jured my brethren in office to give up this paltry re
venue ; but, as I said before, I was over-ruled.

weighed and gave Chafe ; the Wind being at S. W.
and the Man of War considerably to leeward, the
could not come up with the Comet or her Prize, both
of %hich bore down for the Bar , but unfortunately,
the Tide just then turning, and the Prize Ship
drawing 17 Feet Water, it was found impracticable
to bring her over, file was therefore run aground
about 3 Miles to the N. E. of Fort Johnson. 'Capt.
Tufts had, previous to this, gone down with an
Intention of affording all the Assistance he could
to bring off rhe Prize, but likewise run aground, and
the Tide falling prevented the Comet coming near
her. The Man of War, taking Advantage of these
Circuraftances, s en t her Tender, full ofMen, to the
Prize, which had been abandoned, and set on Fire.
