His Excellency General Gage, having information
that some brass cannon were deposited in or near
Salem, he lent an officer to endeavour to discover
where they were lodged 5 at the fame time he ordered
a transport to receive on board a detachment of the
64th regiment under the command of Lieut. Col.
LeSlie, to bring away the above cannon : They landed
at Marblehead last Sunday at 4 o'clock in the after
noon, and marched immediately to Salem ; where
they were informed by the officer Tent forward, that
he had been in the place where the cannon were sup
posed to have been conceal'd, but found none : But
the commanding officer having received intelligence
that some trucks were seen going out of Salem that
morning, he continued his march the road they
were said to have taken ; but coming to a draw-bridge
over an arm of the sea, he found the people on the
opposite fide had taken it up to prevent his passage ;
He desired it might be let down ; but they refufed ;
faying it was a private road, and that he had no
authority to demand a passage that way : On this he
determined to ferry a few men over in a gundolo
(which then lay on the bank) as soon as it could be
got afloat ; the people difeovering this intention im
mediately jumped into her, and with axes cut through
her bottom ; Col. Lefiie feeing this, ordered a party
to drive them out of her, some of the people however
having obstinately refufed to quit her, the soldiers
were obliged to use force ; upon this a clergyman
complained of the usage the inhabitants were receiv
ing, when Col. Lefiie told him that if the bridge was
not immediately let down they might expe& worle
treatment ; the clergyman then prevailed wi|h the
proprietor to let down the bridge, and the troops
marched on leaving a party in possession of the bridge
till they returned, which they soon did it being dark,
and hearing nothing more of the trucks they went in
search of, they then went back to Marblehead, and
embarked on board the transport between eight and
nine o'clock that night, and returned next day to
Boston.
The expediency of coercive measures is much
infilled bn by some, who, I am sorry to fay, seem to
confider more, the distresses into which they will
involve the Americans, than the benefits they can
procure to this country from such vindiaive condu&.
Humanity, however, will prompt the generous min'd
to weep over severities, though they ^may be eveh
necessary. And a prudeht ftntefman &ill reflea, that
the colonies cannot possibly fuffer without injury to
Great-Britain. The Americans are your customers,
they consume your manufa&ures; by distressing them,
if you do not drive them to other markets, you will
most assuredly disable them from taking your com
modities, and from making proper returns for what
they have taken.
Let us suppose for a moment thatcoercive measures
Should reduce them to a recognition of the equity of
Parliamentary taxation : what are the advantages
which will result from it ? Can it be thought that man
kind can be dragooned into a Conviction of what
is right ? Will severities increase their affection, and
make them more desirous of a connexion wi'th, arid
dependence on the mother country ? Is it not on the
contrary reasonable to conclude, that the effe& will
be an increase of jealousy and discontent, that they
will seek all occasions of evading laws imposed on
them by violence, that they will be RESTLESS
under the Yoke, and think themselves happy in an
opportunity of flying to the protection of any other
power, from the fubje&ion of a Mother whom
they confider cruel and oppressive?
Sir, I would not be understood to deny the good
intentions of administration. The abilities of the
Minister are, it seems universally acknowledged ; but
I must add, bumanum est errare. Though an Ame
rican, Sir, I applaud his jealousy for the dignity and
authority of Parliament, and think the impolicy and
inexpediency of the late measures may be reasonably
imputed to the difficulty of the occasion, and the
unsettled and undefined nature of the dependance of
the Colonies on the Mother Country ; but since by lad
experience they have been found totally inadequate,
since they have widened the breach instead of doling
it; diminished the fubjedion and obedience of the
Colonies, instead of confirming them ; increased the
turbulence and opposition, instead of allaying them ;
it may be hoped that a different plan of conduct will
be pursued, and that some constitution, some firm
and LIBERAL constitution, will be adopted by the
wisdom of this house, which may Secure the colonists
in their liberties, whilst it maintains the juit Supre
macy of Parliament.
Extract of a letter from the Eifula, Dec. 15.
“ The city of Dantzic is Still blocked up by the
Prussian troops. They are railing at Marienburgh,
for the service of the King, one battalion of grena
diers, one regiment of hussars, and two pulks of
Uhlans. Two thousand workmen are employed,
notwithstanding the severity of the weather, in form
ing lines and ereCting fortifications along the frontiers
of Samogitia. There is a number of engineers, &c.
at Memel, which Seems as if they would fortify that
place."
A letter from Capt. Boyd, of the Swift, arrived
at Lisbon, Dec. 27, fays, “ I take the opportunity
of a vessel passing for London, to advise you of my
fafe arrival from Terceira, being the only vessel that
tefcaped out of five fail, all loaded."
To his Excellency THOMAS GAGE, Esq; Cap
tain-General and Governor in Chief, in and over
his Majesty's Province of the Massachusetts-Bay,
&c.
IX7 E the Inhabitants of Marfhfield, in legal
VV Town-Meeting allembled, this 20th Day of
February, 1775, beg leave to return your Excellency
our most grateful Acknowledgements for yourfeafon
able Assistance and Prote&ion, in fending a Detach
ment of his Majesty's Troops to secure and defend
the loyal People of this Town, from the Threats and
Violence of an infatuated and misguided People.
We assure your Excellency (whatever may have
been surmised to the contrary) that there were
fufficient Grounds and Reasons for making Applica
tion ; and we are fully convinced, that this Movement
has preserved and promoted, not only the Peace and
Tranquility of this Town in particular, but of the
County in general ; owing, in great Degree, to the
Prudence, Firmness, and good Conduft of Captain
Balfour, who, with Pleasure as well as Justice we
fay it, has done every Thing in his Power to obtain
those laudable Ends and Purposes.
Thankfully we acknowledge our Obligations to
our Sovereign, for his great Goodness and Wisdom,
in placing at the Head of Affairs, in this Province,
in this Day of Difficulty, Confufion and Discord, a
Gentleman of your Excellency's well known Huma
nity, Moderation, Capacity and Intrepidity ; and
shall constantly implore the Supreme Governor of the
Universe to assist and direst you, in the faithful Dis
charge of the various Functions of your exalted
Stations, with Fidelity to your King, with Honour
to yourfelf, and with Happiness to the People com
mitted to your Charge,
BOSTON, March 2.
What particular Measures will be adopted by
Parliament, on its ensuing Meeting, no one tan
precisely determine ; but this may be 'depended on,
that there will be no Relaxation with refpe& to
Boston.
The strongest Hope which we have yet left, is, that
the Affenbly of New-York will firmly and dutifully
Rate their Grievances, unembarrassed with Points
foreign to the Subje&, and free from an undiltin
guifhing Approbation of the Measures of others.---
Such a Petition will assuredly be honourably receiv
ed, and in all Probability, open the Way for a lad
ing Accommodation of the pfefent Differences. How
little do they seem sensible of the Uncertainty and
Miseries of a civil War, who would plunge Head
long into Violence rather than facrifice a Pun&ilio !
Copy of a Letter feflt by the Committee of CorrefpOn
dence for the City and Liberties of Philadelphia, to the
Committee of Correspondence of this City.
Philadelphia, Feb. 16, 1775.
Gentlemen,
WE are directed, by the Committee of the City
and Liberties of Philadelphia, to acquaint you,
they have lately, with Concern, seen frequent Publica
tions from New-York, containing falfe representations ;
and holding out to the World Ideas of Diffentions here,
which do not exist. As Publications of this Kind are
evidently intended to injure the Cause in which this great
Continent is embark'd, by creating Jealousies and Dis
trusts among the Colonies, when mutual Confidence is so
essential to common Safety, the Committee think they
can in no Instance better difeharge the important Trust
comrritted to them, than by contradicting and exposing
such pernicious and wicked Designs.
For this Purpose we think it necessary to declare, that
the Committee have not met with the least Impediment
or Obftru&ion, in carrying into Execution any one Reso
lution of the Continental Congress: But, on the contrary,
a cheerful and ready Acquiescence in their Proceedings,
has been manifefted here by all Ranks and Orders of
People.
A Letter from London of the 4th of Jan. 1775,
fays, “ The King has received the Petition of your
Congress, and will lay it before Parliament: Much
Good is expe&ed, and you may depend a great deal
will be given up."
Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in London,
dated 7th January, 1775, to his friend in New-
York; and ifany Gentleman doubts its Authenti
city, the original will be produced.
This is the important Crisis which will determine the
fate of America. The Petition to the King has been
presented, and is thought a moderate one, but the
new claims stated in the Bill of Rights, and the
points foreign to the one immediately in queliien,
infilled on, will much injure the Cause. The bold
Resolves of your Congress have pushed matters to an
extremity and rendered a complete Decision of the
Dispute inevitable. Whether America shall be in
dependent of or subordinate to Parliament, is now
the Question. I wish the Profpe& was clearer of an
amicable Settlement. The Leaders of Government
were heartily disposed to fall in with any Proposals
of Accommodation, which might have secured your
Liberties and preserved that Sovereignty in the Bri
tish Legislature which is essential to the Welfare of
the Empire ; but hot Men among von have extended
your Claims so far as to make it impoflible for Par
liament to comply, without relinquishing every Sha
dow of its Authority. The Merchants have met
on the Subject : They are to petition Parliament for
Redress ; but are neither to find Fault with'the late
Measures, nor to propose any Mode for your Relief,
but to submit it entirely to Parliament. This Intel
ligence is from two refpe&able Merchants, who are
of the Committee.
Furthermore we beg Leave to inform your Excel
lency, that in the molt critical and dangerous Times,
we have always manifested and preserved our Loyalty
to the King, and Obedience to his Laws; carefully
avoided all unconstitutional Covenants and Engage
ments whatsoever, that might warp us from our Duty
to our God, our King and Country ; arid as we are
determined to preserve in the fame Course, we flatter
'ourfelves, that our Endeavours and Exertions will
meet with our molt gracious Sovereign's Approbation,
as well as your Excellency's, and that under his and
your gentle and humane Government; and kind
Protection, we may peaceably and quietly fit under
our own Vines and Fig-trees, and have none to molest
or make us afraid.
Isaac Winslow, Chairman of the Committee.
His Excellency's ANSWER.
To 'the loyal Inhabitants of the Town of Marfhfield.
Gentlemen,
I Return you my most hearty Thanks for your
Address, and am to assure you, that I feel great
Satisfaction in having contributed to the Safety and
Proteftion of a People, so eminent for their Loyalty
to their King, and Affeftion to their Country, at
a Time when Treason and Rebellion is making such
hasty Strides to overturn our most excellent Constitu
tion, and spread Ruin and Deftru&ion through the
Province.
I doubt not; that yout duty to God, your King
and Country, will excite you to persevere in the glori
ous Cause in which you are engaged, and that your
laudable Example will animate others, with the like
loyal and patriotic Spirit.
We have the Pleasure also to assure you, from the most
extensive Informations, that the Inhabitants of Pehnfyk
vania continue, immoveably, firm to the Cause of Liber
ty; and will, with inviolable Faith, observe the Rules
of Condud prescribed to them by the Continental Con
gress : Any Infraction of which, they deprecate as the
greatest Evil, and confider as productive of their political
Ruin,
THOMAS GAGE.
