WATERTOWN, July 3.
Capt. Tilefton arrived at Newbury last Wednesday, in
21 Days from Newfoundland, and informs us, that a
greater Number of Vessels had arrived from Europe for
the Fishery than usual, as the Colonies were not permit
ted to Fiffi on the Banks there; but finding they could
not procure Flour, &c. several Vessels returned home
before Capt. Tilefton failed, and many more were soon to
follow, (their Voyages being broken up) in Order it's
presumed to fettle the fare with my Lord North ! ! !
The Hon. GEORGE WASHINGTON, Esq; ap
pointed by the Continental Congress General and Com
mander in Chief of all the New- England Forces, pMl'ed
through this Town Yesterday, on his Way to Cambridge,
attended by a Committee from the Provincial Congress,
and a Trainof other Gentlemen, escorted by a Company
of Horse from Marlborough.
There has been an Exchange of Cannon almost every ,
Day this Week past, between the Enemy at Boston Neck,l
and our Troops at Roxbury ; and Yesterday Morning 1
about 4 o'Clock a very heavy Cannonade began and con-4
tinned till after Eight ; but we have not heard of any '
Particulars, saving that the Enemy fired two Houses near ;
the Burying Ground in Roxbury, by Bombs, and that'
our Forces have demolished the House lately occupied by
Mr. Brown, on Boston Neck.
PROVIDENCE, July i.
By a Return made a few Days since at the Head
Quarters of the American Army, it appears, that
or^y 48 Provincials were killed in the late Battle at
Bunker's Hill, and 13T wounded ; 36 of the latter
were taken Prisoners, and 6 has since died of their
Wounds in Boston ; the Prisoners that remain with
the Enemy (24 in Number) are like to recover.
Several Persons who have escaped from Boston
assert, that the Enemy had 1000 Men killed, includ
ing those who had died of their Wounds by Wednes
day Se'nnight; and that 700 wounded Officers and
Soldiers remained then in Hdfpitals.---The Welch
Fuzileers were nearly all cut off; only one Captain
and 17 Privates, it is said, remain of that Regiment?
WILLIAMSBURG, June 24.
Last Thursday a joint address of the Hon. the Council
and House of Burgesses was traafmitted to the Governor,
on board the Fowey man of war, of which the following
is a copy. It is said his Excellency intends to take up
his residence at Portsmouth, and that Lady Dunmore,
and the rest of his Lordship's family, will fail to-morrow
for England.
To bis Excellency the Right Hon. John, Ear! of Dun
more, bis Majefly's Lieutenant, Governor General,
and Commander in chief of the colony and dominion of
Virginia, and Vice Admiral of the fame.
The joint Address of the Council and House of
Burgesses.
My Lord,
WE his Majesty's dutiful and loyal fubjedfy the
Council and House of Burgesses of Virginia,
have received your Lordffiip's answer to our joint ad
dress, by which we represent to your Excellency how
very insecure we thought the public arms in the palace
since your removal from thence, and requeued that your
Lordihip would be pleased to order them to be stored in
the public magazine, judging this a repertory of much
greater security.
You are pleased to tell us, that experience hath ffiewn
the insecurity of the magazine, and that as the palace
hath hitherto been refpeded, you thought it improper to
give any other orders that the arms belonging to the
King, which have formany years been lodged, may still
remain in the palace, and that they may, on no account,
be touched without your express commission. Tho' these
arms, my Lord, may be considered, in some fort, as
belonging to his Majesty, as the supreme head of this
government, and that they are properly under your Lord
chip's direction, yet we humbly conceive that they were
originally provided, and have been preferred for the use
of the country in cases of emergency.
We would not wilh to interfere with your Lordfllip's
authority, of this disposition we presume our former ad
dress afforded the strongest testimony ; but the reflection
that these arms are so much exposed, that they may easily
be made the raoft proper and deftruQive use of, is, to
us, extremely alarming.
The palace, my Lord, hath indeed been hitherto much
refpefted, but not so much out of regard to the building
as the residence of his Majesty's representative. Had
your LordArp thought fit to remain there, we should
have had no apprehensions of danger ; but, considering
these arms at present exposed to your servants, and every
rude invader, the security formerly derived from your
Lordffiip's presence cannot now be relied on.
In your Lordship's answer to an address of the House
•f Burgesses, you are pleased to fay, that experience has
demonstrated to you that the city of Williamsburg is an
improper place for the residence of our Governor, and
give it as a reason for not returning the powder, accord
ing to your own voluntary promise made to the House,
that you could not attend to its preservation, nor depend
en its security, if returned to the magazine. We should
suppose, my Lord, that your Excellency's attention to
the arms would be equally necessary for their security, as
yon know the palace standing on the edge of the city,
and we should, for this reason, imagine it more likely to
be rified than the magazine in the midst of it; besides,
ffiould it be thought necessary, a proper guard might be
kept at the magazine, which we did not think so decent
to propose for your Lordship's palace. Our apprehensi
ons, my Lord, have been not a little increased by con
sidering the several depositions taken by order of th!
House of Burgesses ; we decline commenting upon them,
but submit to the world from whence the unhappy dis
turbances in this colony took their rife. We must, my
Lord, once more entreat your Excellency to order the
arms to be removed to the public magazine.
We cannot, my Lord, decline representing to you, that
the important business of this assembly hath been much
impeded by your Excellency's removal from the palace.
This step hath deprived us of the necessary and free ac
wefs to your Lordship, which we conceive the constitution
entitle us to. There are several bills of the last import
ance to this country now ready to be presented to your
Excellency for your assent.
We have hitherto, my Lord, in hopes of preserving
What harmony which we wish ever to subsist between all
the branches of our legislature, submitted to the great
ineceveaieaceof fading ew members twelve miles to
Wait on your Excellency on board one bf his Majesty's
ffiips of war, to present our several addresses; but we
think it would be highly improper, and too great a de
parture from the conftitutiohal and accustomed mode of
tranfa&ng the business of the Assembly, to meet your
Excellency at any other place than the Capitol, to present
such bills as have there been agreed to by the Council
and House of Burgesses. We must therefore beseech your
Excellency to return to us; and as the advanced feafoh
of the year requires our presence in our several counties,
we hope your Lordship will be pleased to favour us with
your speedy and ultimate anfwef, that we may certainly
know what to depend upon.
His EXCELLENCY'S Answer.
IHA VE already declared my intentions in regard to tbt
arms at the palace, and I conceive the Council and House
of ' ur g 6 f" ar 6 interfering in a matter which does not be
long to them. IJbould be glad to be informed who they de
fgn by tbe terms rude invaders which they have made use of.
The disorders in Williamsburg, -and other parts of the
country, drove me to the necessity of changing my place of
residence, and if any inconvenience bus arijen to the Assembly
on that account lam not chargeable with it, but they have
not been deprived of any necefery noh free acceft to me.—
The confitution wefts me with an undoubted power to call the
Assembly for the business of, to any place in, the colony,
exigency may require.
Not having been made acquainted with the whole proceed
ings °f 'be Assembly, I know of no bills of importance,
which, if I were inclined to risk my person again among
the people, the Assembly have to present to me, nor whether
they be fueb as i could afent to.
