NEW-YORK, February 26.
Mr. Gaine,
FOR the information and fatisfadion of the
Loyal Refugees of New-York, please to
give aplace in your Gazette to Major-General
TRYON's Anfiver to their Address. The
suddenness of the Generals departure from this
province prevented the Address being preferred
to him before he embarked, and therefore was
sent after him by the Packet on board of which
it was underßood he had taken his passage, and
the Answer was returned by the last Packet.
SLR, London, December so 1780.
I Am favoured with your very obliging letter
of the 14th of September last, incloting an
Address to me from the Loyal Refugees, at
New-York.
Be pleased, Sir, to return my sincerest thanks
to the gentlemen who have done me this ho
nour, and assure them that it is with finguhr
pleasure 1 receive this testimony of regard from
so many refpedable persons, whose Ready and
distinguished loyalty I applaud, and with whose
fufferings I lincerely sympathize.
With the utmost abhorrence of the principles
of the rebels, with the greatest detertation of
their condu&, and with the warmest wishes for
the relief of all who feel the oppression of the
powers of usurpation, I shall take every oppor
tunity of any favourable representation of the
loyalty and fufferings of the New-York Refu
gees, and I trull that the time is not far dillant,
when by the restoration and ellablifhment of
the royal authority, the happiness of his Ma
jesty's government (hull be diffufed to all his
faithful fubjeds in America.
I embraced an opportunity to lay the Address
before the Secretary of State, and I have the
pleasure to acquaint you that the spirit of
loyalty of the New-York Refugees is muco
approved of.
I have the honour to be,
Sir, your molt obedient,
ano very humble servant,
Wm. TRYON.
