Extrafl of a letter from Dublin, June 12.
<' The Post Assembly, which is to be held to
morrow, for the purpose of coniidtring an address
to the King, in behalf of our oppressed ximcrican
brethren, is likely to be the fulleft ever known."
A Journeyman Taylor of Braintree, in Essex, who
over a pot of beer had often bewailed the misfortunes
of his country, cursed the Minister, and, like a true
^patriot, got drunk with his last sixpence ; the mo
ment he heard the Americans had defeated the King's
troops, jumped from the board, and after hailing the
glorious Goddess of Liberty to waft him to the pine
crowned mountains of New-England, desired his
master would pay him his day's wages ; adding, "I
will no longer live in this d---d land of Slavery, and
be dipt to death by th e/beers of ministerial oppreffipn;
they shall never cabbage me of my Liberty, while I
can weild a bare bodkins no, I have a brother in
Boston, and by G---d I will go and fight for him."

PHILADELPHIA, August 16.
To the KING'S Most Excellent MAJESTY.
Most gracious Sovereign,
WE your Majesty's faithful fubjeds of the colonies
of New-Hamplhire, Maflachafetts-Bay, Rhode-
Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New-
York, New-JerAy, Pennsylvania, the. Counties of New-
Castle, Kent and Sussex, on Delaware, Maryland, Vir
ginia, North-Carolina, and South-Carolina, in behalf
of ourselves, and the inhabitants of these colonies, who
'have deputed us to represent them in General Congress,
entreat your Majesty's gracious attention to this our
humble petition.
The union between our mother country and these
colonies, and the energy of mild and just government,
produced benefits so remarkably important, and afforded
such an assurance of their permanency and encreafe,
that the wonder and envy of other nations were excited,
while they beheld Great-Britain rising to a power, the
most extraordinary the world had ever known.
Her rivals observing, that there was no probability of
this happy connection being broken by civil diflentions,
and apprehending its future effeds, if left any longer
undisturbed, resolved to prevent her receiving such con
tinual and formidable accessions of wealth and strength,
by checking the growth of those Settlements from which
they were to be derived.
In the prosecution of this attempt, events so unfa
vourable to the design took place, that every friend to
theintereft of Great-Britain and these colonies, enter
tained pleasing and reasonable expectations of feeing an
additional force and extention immediately given to the
operations of the union hitherto experienced, by an en
largement of the dominions of the crown, and the removal
of ancient and warlike enemies to a greater distance.
At the conclusion therefore of the late war, the most
glorious and advantageous that ever had been carried on
by British arms, your loyal colonists, having contributed
to its success, by such repeated and strenuous exertions,
as frequently procured them the diftinguiffied approbation
of your Majesty, of the late King, and of parliament,
doubted not, but that they should be permitted, with the
rest of the empire, to (hare in the blessings of peace, and
the emoluments of victory and conquest.
While these recent and honorable acknowledgements
of their merits remained on record in the journals and
a&s of that august legislature, the parliament, undefaced
by the imputation or even the suspicion of any offence,
they were alarmed by a new fyflem of statutes and regu
lations, adopted for the administration of th® colonies,

Extras of a letter from Portsmouth, June 16.
" Yesterday morning an express arrived here from
the Admiralty, with orders for the following fix
ships of the line to be got ready with the greatest
expedition, viz. the Neptune, of 90 guns—Superb,
74 —Firm, 64. —Essex, 64 —and Windsor and Ame
rica of 60 guns. The destination of the above ships
is kept a profound fecret."|
The Two Friends, Capt. Brcwfter, is arrived at ,
Dover from Philadelphia.,
We hear that General Gage has sent home so
more light ordnance and stores ; in consequence ofa
which the necessary orders have been given. A tranf-|
port failed about three weeks or a month fihce with ;
some of the above from the Towei, for the use ofl
the troops in America.
All the royal reviews being now over, and the re-|
giments marched into summer quarters, orders are;
lent to the commanding officers of the different regi
ments to compleat them to their full complement of
men.
Attached to your Majesty's perform, family and govern
ment,' with all devotion that principle and affection can
inspire, coanrAed vith Great-Britain by the strongest
ties that can unite Societies, 'and deploring every event
that tends in any degree co weaken them.- We Solemnly
assure your Majesty, that we, not only most ardently de
sire the former harmony between her and these colonies,
may be restored, but that a concord may he eftabliffied
between them upon so firm a basis as to perpetuate its
blessings, uninterrupted by any future diflentions, to Suc
ceeding generations in both countries, dnd to transmit
your Majesty's name to posterity, adorned with that Signal
and lading glory that has attended the memory of those
illustrious personages, whose virtues and abilities have
extricated dates from dangerous convulsions, and by fa
curing happiness to others, have eroded the most noble
and durable monuments to their own fame.
We beg leave further to assure your Majesty, that not
withstanding the Sufferings of your loyal colonists, during
the course of this present controversy, cur breasts retain
too tender a regard for the kingdom from which we
derive our origin, to request such a reconciliation, as
might in any manner be incohfiftent with her dignity or
her welfare. These, related as we are to her, honor
and duty, as weft as inclination, induce us to support
and advance ; and the apprehensions, that now oppress
our hearts with unspeakable grief, being once removed,
your Majesty will find your faithful Subjects on this
continent ready and willing at all times, as they have
ever been, with their lives and fortunes, to assert and
maintain the rights and interests of your Majesty, and
of our mother country.
We therefore beseech your Majesty, that your royal
authority and influence may be graciously interposed to
procure us relief from our afflicting fears and jealousies,
occasioned by the system before-mentioned, and to fettle
peace through every part of your dominions, with all
humility Submitting,to your Majesty's wife cenfideration,
whether it may not be expedient for faciliating those im
portant purposes, that your Majesty be pleased to direct
some mode, by which the united applications of your
faithful colonists to the Throne, in presence of their
Common Councils, may be improved into a happy and
permanent reconciliation; and that in the mean time
measures may be taken for preventing the further de
ftrufli^n of the lives of your Majesty's Subjects; and
that such statutes as more immediately distress. any of
your Majesty's colonies may be repealed.
For by such arangments as your Majesty's wisdom
can form for collecting the united sense of your American
People, we are convinced, your Majesty would receive
such Satisfactory proofs of the difpofitien of the colo
nists towards their Sovereign and the Parent state, that
the wished for opportunity would soon be restored to them
of evincing the sincerity of their profeffions, by every
testimony of devotion becoming the most dutiful Sub
je6t« and the most affectionate colonists.
That your Majesty may enjoy a long and prosperous
reign, and that your defeendents may govern your do
minions, with honor to themselves and happipefs to their
fubjedts, is our sincere and fervent prayer.
Extract of a letter from Frederick-Toivn, August i.
“ Notwithstanding the Urgency of my Business,
I have been detained three Days in this Place by an
Occurrence truly agreeable.---! have had the Hap
piness of feeing Captain Michael Creffap, marching
at the Head of a formidable Company, of upwards
of 130 Men from the Mountains and back Woods,
painted like Indians, armed with Tomahawk's and
Rifles, dreflfed in hunting Shirts and Mackafons,
and tho' some of them had travelled near 800 Miles
from the Banks of the Ohio, they seemed to walk
light and easy, and not with less Spirit than in the
firft Hour of their March.--Health and Vigour after
what they had undergone, declared them to be inti
mate with Hardihip and familiar with Danger---Jey
and Satisfaction were visible in the Croud that met
them---Had Lord North been present, and allured
that the brave Leader could raise Thousands of such
like to defend his Country, what thihk you, would
not the Hatchet and the Block have intruded upon
his Mind ? I had an Opportunity of attending the
Captain during his Stay in Town, and watched the
Behaviour of his Men, and the Manner in which
he treated them; for it seems that all those who got
out to War under him, do not only pay the most
willing Obedience to him as their Commander, but
in every Instance of Distress look up to him as a
Friend or a Father.---A great Part of his Time was
spent in listening to and relieving their Wants,
without any apparent Sense of Fatigue and Trouble ;
when Complaints were before him he determined
with Kinduefs and Spirit, and on every Occasion
condefeended to please without lofmg his Dignity.- -
'' Yesterday the Company were supplied with a
small Quantity of Powder from the Magazine,
which wanted airing, and was not in good Order
for Rifles ; in the Evening, however, they were
drawn out, to ihew the Gentlemen of the Town
their Dexterity in (hooting, a Clapboard with a
Mark the Size of a Dollar, was put up ; they began
to fire off hand, and the Bystanders were furprized.
that filled their minds with the most painful fears and
jealoufi'es ; and to their inexpressible aflonithment, per
ceived the danger of a foreign quarrel, quickly Succeeded
by domestic ' dangers in their judgement of a more dread
ful kind.
Your Majesty's Ministers, persevering in their mea
sures, and proceeding to open hostilities for enforcing
them, have compelled us to arm in our own defence,
and have engaged us in a controversy so peculiarly ab
horrent to the affections of your Bill faithful colonists,
that when we confider whom we must oppole in this
contest, and if it continues, what may be the conse
quences, our own particular misfortunes are accounted
by us only as parts of our distress.
Knowing to what violent resentments and incurable
animosities, civil difeords are apt to exasperate and in
flame the contending parties, we think ourselves required
by indifyenfible obligations to Almighty God, to your
Majesty, to our fellow Subjects and to ourselves, imme
diately to use all the means in our power, not incompati
ble with our fafety, for flopping the further effufion of
bloody and for averting the impending calamities that
threaten the British empire.
Thus called upon to address your Majesty on affairs of
such moment to America, and probably to all your do
minions, we are earnestly desirous of performing this
office, with the utmost deference for your Majesty ; and
we therefore pray, that your Majesty's royal magnanimity
and benevolence may make the most favorable coriftruc
tions of our expreflions on so uncommon an occasion.
Could we represent in their full force the Sentiments that
agitates the minds of us your dutiful Subjects, we are
persuaded, your Majesty would ascribe any seeming devi
ation from reverence in our language, and even in our
conduct, not to any reprehensible intention, but to the
impofiibility of reconciling theufual appearances of ref
pe6 twith a just attention to our own preservation against
those awful and cruel enemies, who abuse your royal
confidence and authority, for the purpose of effecting
our deftruaion.
Nor were these anxieties alleviated by any tendency in
this fyflem to promote the welfare of their mother coun
try. For though its effeCts were more immediately felt
by them, yet its influence appeared to be injurious to
the commerce and prosperity of Great-Britain.
We (hall decline the ungrateful talk of describing the
irksome variety of artifices, practised by many of your
Majesty's Ministers, the delusive pretences, fruitlefs ter
rors, and unavailing Severities, that have from time to
time been dealt out by them, in their attempts to execute
this impolitic plan, or of tracing through a Series of
yesrs past the progress of the unhappy differences between
Great-Britain and these colonies, that have flowed from
this fatal source.
' few Shot being made that were not ciofe to or in the
Paper; when they had shot for a Time in this Way,
some lay on their Back, some on their Breast or
Side, others ran 20 or 30 Steps and firing, appeared
to be equally certain of their Mark---With this
Performance the Company were more than fatisfied,
ty^cn a young Man tock up the Board in his Hand,
not by the E:;d but the Side, and holding it up, his
Brother wa&ed.to the Distance and very coolly shot
into the white-; laying, down his Rifle, he took the
Board, end holding it as it was held before, the se
cond Brother shot as the former had done By
this Exercise I was more astonished than pleased. But
will you believe me when I tell you that one of the
Msn took the Board and placing it between his Legs,
Rood with his Back to the Tree, while another drove
the Center. What would a regular Army, of con
siderable Strength in the Forett of America do with
1000 of these Men, whowant nothing,to prefe^ve
their Health and Courage, but Water from the
Spring, with a little parched Corn, and what they
can eaf ; procure in,Hunting ;.and. who, wrapped
in' th<ir Blankets in the Damp of Night, would
choose the (hade of a Tree for their Covering, and
the Earth for their Bed ?"
