“ My Lord,
" Presuming on our former friendship, I embrace
this opportunity of addressing you, relying, on the
?ffurances of General Burgoyne, that my letter
ihall be fafely delivered to your Lordflhip.---
“ Born and educated in E gland, i cannot but
still glory in the appellation cf an Englilhman.---
1 feel molt poignantly for the distresses of my coun
try ; and yet, my Lord, the destruction of he?
commerce, the defeat of her armies, the squander of
her treasure, and the downfd of her public credit,
are but small portions of those calamities which Eng
land will futtain, should she persist in the present
unjust and ruinous war. ---America, at this moment,
triumphs in victory; of the King's troops employed
in the expedition from Canada, the whole have either
died, they have been killed, or they have been taken
prisoners, In what manner the United States of
America have fifed their successes, the unexaggerated
voice of truth, which inspired the convention at Sa
ratoga, will inform your Lordihip. General Bur
goyne and Lord Peterfham, as Officers, and as Gen
tlemen, will also give their testimonies in favour of
the truth. Deeply impressed with a sense of the
dangers which threaten my country, I cannot but
wish, that, ere it be too late, some measures might
be adopted to save England from impending ruin.
A bad, wicked, and most abhorred administration
occasioned the present calamities. Is there not one,
lenient hand ? Is there not one Ikilful state physician,
who could prescribe f>me regimen, which would heal
those dividers that affli& the empire ? The policy of
a Chatham, the wisdom cf a Camden, afifted by
other independent Noblemen like your Lordship,
might yet perhaps regain the friendship of America.
By confmguinity, by a sameness of language, and
by other ties of Empathy, America entertains a
predile&ion for England; the would prefer a con
nexion with England to a connexion with any other
European power ; but this connexion can only be
that of an alliance. The Americans will be friendly
allies, but they never will content to be the Haves of
Great-Britain. Sooner than not keep their inde
pendence, the Americans will part with their lives.
These, my Lord, are the sentiments cf America ;
they are tranfinitted to you by a man, that willies,
that England may not lose the benefits to be derived
from America ; by one who is anxious for the wel
fare of the country in which he was born, and who
has thus pointed put the only union, which England
can hope for with the United States of America.
I have the honour to be, &c. &c.
HORATIO GATES."
Mutant within a circle of seventy mites of Head-quarters,
to thresh ®ut their grain, by two certain dates, threaten
ing such as failed in complying with his mandate, that
the fame should be fallen from them at the price of straw ;
but to put this matter out of all doubt, their resolves of
the aoth of February, affords a full and positive proof:
For there they resolve to make every man a soldier in vi
olation of every agreement they have made to the con
trary, during the continuance of the war (under the pain
of military execution) notwithstanding any a& of the
legislature of any Rate made to the contrary ; so that you
had at the fame time three legislative bodies, exercising
absolute power over you, viz, The congress, the president,
council and assembly, and the board of war, &c. &c.
Uncertain however as you may be in refpeft of your legis
lators, you are not so in the executors of your laws, for
every man in the army even to a private centinel is im
powered to deprive any person within the state, without
any warrant for that purpose, of his liberty, drag him
before a magistrate, and if he refufes to take the oath of
allegiance arid abjuration, he is then to be committed to
goal, there to remain 'till he complies. Numbers of in
nocent persons for no real crime, and without being al
lowed a hearing, have been violently dragged from their
firmlie, and friends, and then baniihtd into foreign
states, fotne of them by command of congress, others by
your new officers of the ftafe. Others have been taken
from their,peaceable habitations to. Head-quarters, there
to fuffer all the inclemencies of the season, and when a
hearing has been indulged them, not even an.imputed
crime has been laid to their charge. Private informati
ons, that dangerous weapon in a tyrant's hand, is openly
encouraged, and fiveral who have been made prisoners
have been discharged without a hearing, either from a
non-appeafahce'of the informer, or from a conviction of
his malice. Great complaints have been ioduftrioufly
propagated of devastation and plunder committed by the
Brgiffi army; which, however I am well informed that
General: Howe has taken great pains to restrain and pre
vent; But what can be said of the marauding, plun
dering and deftruftion of the American army, whom
yon yourselves pay, and who Ihculd be your protestors !
Is it not a common praaice under a pretence to prevent
{applying the enemy with provifiona, for companies of
soldier, to rob people on the high road at the distance of
ten or fifteen miles from the English lines, setting an ex
ample to the most abandoned of the inhabitants, who
have proceeded so far as to bayonet inoffenfive people in
their ewn heufes. Has even the paißs of your fyperior
officers afforded a Efficient protection against this violence,
even to those persons employed in carrying provisions to
the unhappy prisoners in Philadelphia, when at the fame
time your demagogues complain that they are dying with
graft in their mouths for want of other food ? But this
is only in retail, have ,npt even your generals, with part
of the army, been (ent into the Jernes as well as this
province to burn and destroy your hay and corn, to
drive off your cattie and horses, and the inhabitants
themselves, ata certain distance from Philadelphia, and
has not this been executed with the greatest rigour to the
ruin of many ? Has your rulers (pared the mills for grind
ing your corn, erected at a great expence for the benefit of
the country ? But I wi)l here close the catalogue, having
fiid enough to draw thg comparison which I /hall leave to
every American to do for himfelf.
If this plain representation is a just and true picture of
the privileges we are entitled to and poss ffed under our
old constitution, and the deplorable state of slavery to
which we are reduced by the new, what a deluded, daf
taraly, and wretched people we must be, to fuffer our
pillions so to be wrought on by wicked, designing, and
artful men, as our present leaders are, so as to precipi
tate ourselves and our posterity into certain ruin and de
fruaion ; but what can be said of those persons, who,
at this time, are rifqulng their lives to rivet their own
chains, and forging others for the rest df their country
met, : It can hardly be thought a set of men could be
f< upd on the whole earth, so abandoned to their true in
terest, as to be guilty of such a wicked attempt; but
too true, such in abundance are to be found in America.
Other nations sigh after freedom; our militia, for you
are the men, rifque your lives, liberties, and fortunes, to
be made slaves. If you are not entirely callous, and so
10l as to be deaf to all advice, retreat in time whilst mercy
is to be had, and avert that punishment of your gift,
which your friend and countryman, Nestor, has intimated
only a part.---For remember the patience of your inno
cent and unoffending countrymen is near exhausted ;, their
forbearance has been great, wishing to pass this Borm in
offensively: to ore fide or the other ; but their resentment,
if provoked, will make your homes, or other recefles in
the country, more dangerous than the lines of those you
call your enemies.

“ Yesterday arrived at Spithead, in 19 days, from
North-America, his Majesty's flhip Milford, com
mande'd by Sir William Burnaby, Bart.
« This frigate is one of the fwifteft in the royal
navy, and has for these 20 months past been the ter
ror of the rebels in New-England, having, in that
period alone, taken 70 of their vessels, of which
number were several privateers. The last a very
important one, a mast ship, deeply and valuably
laden from Massachusetts, bound to Nantz, was ta
ken after some hours chace on the 3d instant.
" In the Milford came passenger Major Small,
charged with dispatches for government. This gen
tleman, who has served the whole of last war, and
since the commencement of this rebellion in America,
accompanied Sir William Howe at the battle cf Bun
ker's Hill, on the 17th of June, 1775, and was the
only general officer attending the General in that
aXion that was not either killed or wounded. He
has since been appointed to the command of a batta

roops, to act in the northern diftria."

No relaxation appears on the fide of government
in the (hipping of stores or railing of men on account
of Lord North's proposals, ministry being determi

in the council or field.
A number of naval officers on half-pay have been
ordered within these few days, to be in readiness to
enter upon actual service, as they will be appointed
to some ships of war which are in a few days to be
put into commission.
Twenty frefh press warrants were last week made
out, which are daily expected to be delivered to the
lieutenants of the navy, whole ships are ordered to
be at Spithead on or before the irft of April, in order
more expeditiously to man the fame.
By a letter from Wigtoun in Galloway, of the

Duncan, of Gordon's regiment ; Lieut. Heron, and
Lieut. Hathorn, younger of Caftlewig, both of the

CAMP, Valley Forge, March 27, 1778.
THE numerous 'inconveniences of a large train
of baggage must be apparent to^every officer of the
lead obfervation.-'—An army by means of it is ren
dered unwieldy, and incapable of a&ing with that
ease and celerity which are essential either to its own
security and defence, or to vigour and enterprize in
its offenfive operations. The solicitude which those
who have a large quantity + at flake will feel for its
fafety, even in the most critical circumstances, is
sometimes attended with vhry alarming confequeri
ces; and individuals frequently and unavoidably
sustain no inconsiderable losses from the imprudence
of incumbring themselves with fuperfluous baggage.
The public is burdened with a fruitless expence in
an additional number of horses and waggons, and
the strength of the army is diminilhed by theextra
ordinary number of guards requited for their pre
te&ion.---Thefe disadvantages, and many more that
will suggest thepfclves on refle&ion, notwithstand
ing the pains taken to remedy them, have hereto
fore, been fcverely felt by this army. Many instances
will be recolle&ed in the course of the last campaign ;
and ' among others the great loss which attended the
feeding the fopeifluous baggage, during the more
active part of it, to a distance from tire army. The
Commander in Chief Hopes these considerations will
influence Officers in the ensuing campaign to provide
themselves with those weceffaries only which cannot
be dispensed with, and with the means of carrying
them in the most easy and convenient manner; in
order to which he strongly recommends the dilute
of chests and boxes, and that portmantuas or va
lises, made of duck, may be substituted instead of
them : This will be the more requlfite, as it is in
contemplation to employ as few waggons as possible,
and to make rife of pack horses as far as may be
practicable. It is expected the General and Field-
Officers will set the example, and fee that it is ftri&-
ly followed by all those under their refpe&ive com
mands. Extraft from General Orders,

Spain had acceded, ratifying our independence, and
ceding to us all the territories in America which had
been ceded to England by the last treaty of peace,
with no other condition on our gart than alliance,

ExtraA of a letter from a Gentleman at Camp, dated
May s, 1778.
" Last week a Lieutenant and twenty-eight men,
belonging to a party commanded by Capt. M'Clean
(butthen detached) were surprised and made prison
ers by the enemy.
We hear that a detachment of 1000 foot and 200
of the Britifli cavalry, left Philadelphia on Friday
morning last a little before day, and a little before
sunrise they penetrated as far as the Crooked Billet,
in Bucks County, about 16 miles from Philadelphia,
where they attacked General Lacey's picket, who,
after a brave resistance, being overpowered by numa
bers, were obliged to give way. But the particulars
are not yet come to hand.
We also learn, that a considerable body of the ene

PHILADELPHIA, April 18.
On Thursday evening last, a party of the British
light dragoons with a part of the Philadelphia light
dragoons, left this city, and proceeded to Bristol,
where they surprised, and took prisoners, twelve
officers and thirty-two privates, among the officers
were two Colonels and a Major.
Died at Winchester in Virginia, the second of the
third month last, THOMAS GILPIN, a man
of an amiable difpofitipn, and possessed of those qua
lifications which deservedly gained him the love and
effeem of all who were intimately acquainted with
him ; a loss truly great to his family and near con
nexions, as also to his exiled companions : He evi
denced, in his last moments, that calmness and com
posure of mind, that is ever the attendant on fuffer

faith can bid defiance to the King of Terrors. Her
remains were decently interred on the Monday fol

Copy of a letter from London, dated Feb. 23, 1778;
“ Dear Sir,
I am mbch obliged to you for your very intelli
gent letter of the 27th December. It has given me
a much better idea of the present state of the war in
America, than any account I have yet seen, and-L.
am in hopes from what you fay, that the'army will
reap great advantages by being comfortably quartered
during the winter ; and I apprehend cannot be mucli
harraffed by Walhinglon's army, lam under great
obligation, jo a friend of mine for affording ,me an
opportunity of writing you by this man of war, which
carries aifohtches to the General; Interested as you
are in the event of this rebellion, and knowing you!
warm attachments to this country, I am afraid the
dispatches which now go will seem vefy'difpleafing,
and that you will be apt to think your frientFL---c|
N—th has 16ft that usual fortitude of mind for whicli
I> have heard you so often extol him. But be not.
too hasty in pronouncing judgment. Many concur
ring, and, 1 may add, unfortunate circumstances,
have forced him tp pursue those meafufes whicli Ite
would willingly have avoided. You know how
unwillingly his Lofd ffiip took the reins'of govern
ment : It was at a time when some of the most able
men in the kingdom had absolutely abahefched them^
The ditturbances in America were then faft growing
into rebellion. The minority 'in both houses of
parliament, were not only encouraging the Ameri
cans privately in their opposition tolegal govern
ment, but they espoused their cause openly in both
houses. Lord Chatham rejoiced that America had
refilled. When the outrages of the Americans rose
so high, that parliament found it absolutely necessary
to declare them in rebellion, the minority still give
their countenance to their rebellious proceedings.
They have, during the war, tirrown every obstacle
inthe way of the minister, to retard the operations.
The principles of these men have pervaded more or
less through every department. In foort, they have
hung like a milftone round the neck of the Minister.
The unfortunate defeat of the brave General Bur
goyne was matter of triumph to the oppefition.
It had a different effe& on the nation at large. It
roused the Sleeping lion ; and from every quarter of
the three kingdoms his Majesty had an offer of the
purse and persons of his loyal fubjeXs. This a
larmed the faXious minority, and it was necessary
to ring the alarm bell. They objeXed in parlia
ment to the mode'of raising new levies. They pre
tended to be apprehensive of an invasion, and of
course bawled forth the impropriety of fending any
more es the old regiments out of the kingdom.
They complained that a proper use had not been
made of the force already sent to America. That
there were not, nor had not been, any terms held
out to the rebels, Ihould they incline to submit.
That it was proper to declare on what footing they
should be received, if they returned to their allegi
ance, and many arguments of the like nature, whicli
were only thrown out as humbling blocks to the
minister. Lord N** # *, sensible that the minority
did not mean what they expressed, determined to
attack them in their own way, and therefore moved
for two bills which now go by this conveyance. It
is not expected that the Congress will refeind their
claim of Independance, but as they have now an
offer in explicit terms of what they pretend they
have been alone contending for, they must either ac
cept of these terms, or show their cloven foot, which
they have attempted to conceal under the cloak of
contending for their legal and constitutional rights.
The consequence of which will be a total overthrow
of all oppofiti^n in this country. It is likewise ex
pe&ed that some good consequences will arise on
your fide of the water from these measures. We
are confidently assured that many people are heartily
tired of the tyranny of the Congress.---At any rate,
be not alarmed, but rest assured, that every vigorous
measure is now pursuing to compel America to sub
mission. And whatever may be the issue of the
terms now offered, the people in America who have
manifefted their loyalty to the King, ahd their at
tachment to the conftitufion, will be properly at
tended to. The Commissioners you may be assured,
will have a proper retinue."
April 21. Last Friday information being received of
a body of rebel troops hovering about to frighten the
militia to the field, a party of the light infantry went
in queftof them, and advanced with such impetuolity,
that they killed three, and took fifty-one prisoners,
before the rebels had time to recolka the use of their
heels. This was effeXed without the loss of a man
on our part; and the troops, with the prisoners,
arrived in town about two o'clock the fame day.
