PHILADELPHIA, March 13.
By the Washington Packet, Captain Barney,
arrived here yesterday morning from I'Orient,
we have the following---
HOUSE of LORDS, London, December f, 1782,
THE Marquis of Carmarthen role up to move for an ad
dress to his Majesty for his most gracidus speech. He
expressed an hope that the house would be unanimous in
testifying their humble gratitude to the crown for intenti
lons so gracious, for sentiments so paternal, for facrifices so
Igenerous. He declared a full confidence in his majesty's
IServants, and that while their conduct should continue to
idefetve it, they should meet with bis support. He was hap-
Ipy, he laid, in every opportunity of testifying his refpcA
Ifor the crown, and doubly happy, when be could teftify ^his
refped, on an occasion so happy as the present : When it
appeared that the relief, the bappinefs ofhis fubje&s, form
ed the firft wish in the royal breaSt. He hoped thatpeace
would Soon return to bless the land ; but, that if any unto
ward accident should frustrate the endeavours, and inter
rupt the negociations now on foot for that dcfirable obje&,
the spirit of this country would enable his majesty to prose
cute the warwith vigour. The flourishing state of the na
vy,"which was a fubjed of hope and confidence, in case of
beingobliged to carry on the war, was also an encourage
ment to open a treatyfor peace. Terms of peace were of
i sered with greatest advantage, at a season of vidory and
I triumph. The success of his majesty's arms, both by sea and
land, during the last campaign, afforded ground to hope
that nis majesty's ministers would be able to make peace
on conditions, fair, fafe and honorable. America, be hop
ed, would not yet be wholly loft to Great Britain. A famc
nefs of religion, language, habits and dispositions, toge
ther with mutual interest, would, he fted, re-establish a
solid and a reciprocally advantageous connexion between
the,colonies and the mother country. In the mean time, it
would be impolitic and imprudent to relax the preparations
for war. These must go on with alacrity, as the surest
means of making peace. This country possessed the great
est resources; resources not only of wealth and of credit, but
of men; gallant and able sea and land officers, and an hardy
; and intriped race of failars and foldicrs, ready and deter
mined to execute their commands. There was therefore
nothing of which we ought to be afraid, provided that
with unanimity and truly patriotic zeal, all ranks and de
scriptions of men should unite in bringing forth into exer
tion the spirit and vigour of the nation. It was not for him
to go farther into the fubjeds that were touched in his ma
jesty's most gracious speech. He trusted it would meet
with universal approbation. An important revolution had
happened in thebiftory of the world. America, diflcvered
fromßritain,was rising into an independent ftate,and would
shed various influences on die old world. But he hoped
the parent state might still derive some advantages from the
prosperity of its offspring. To cultivate a good understand
ing between these relations, let the whole nation, all the
component parts of the constitution, join hearts and hands.
Let the crown, lords and commonsunite to form one body
of government, forthe purpofc of restoring, if possible, a
portion of the diminished glory of this nation. His lord
ship then read the substance of an address, recapitulating,
as usual, and approving all the proportions in the speech.
Lord Hawke Seconded the motion, that had been made
for this address. His lordship Spoke in so low a tone of
voice, thabit was with difficulty we could catch these senti
ments. He encouraged the house, and the nation, to
Strengthen the hands of his majefy's Servants, and to hope
for an happy issue out of the present troubles, from a view
of the glorious state of the British navy. The Strength, and
the Stability of this bulwark, against foreign attack, his
lordship afl'erted, depended not on the posse ffion of our co
lonies, but on the virtue of the nation. The glory of the
British navy was founded not on the sand of the American
shore, but on the honor, the good faith, and the industry of
Britain. In the courfc of human affairs, advantages were
not uncommonly blended with disadvantages ; the former
rose out of the latter. His lordship illustrated this general
dedrine by Some particular instances : On which fubje&he
glanced at the effect, the indedendence of British America,
must h^ve§n the dependencies of Spain and of France.
Earl of Radnor protested that it was far from bis intention
to mar that unanimity w hich the noble lord who fpokc
last had so warmly recommended, and which the Situation
of public affairs required. He approved of the proposed
address as far as it went; but was of opinion that it did not
Efficiently express that sense of gratitude, which he was
confident their lordships felt for the crown, for Sacrificing
the considerations alluded to in the address to the good of
the public. His lordship, therefore, proposed, by way of.
Supplement rather than amendment, to be inferred at the
beginning of thefecond paragraph of the motion for the
address, viz. To acknowledge witbehe Sincerest gratitude,
" The facrifice that his majesty has been graciously and as
“ fedfonately pleased to make to the wishes and opinions
" of his people, fully convinced that his majesty's own
" condud has always been abated by a Similar difpofi
" tion.”
The earl of Sandwich then rose, and immediately declar
ed his resolution to support his majesty's present servants,
both by contributing his endeavours to raise the neceffar.
Supplies and otherwise, until they should prove by their
condud (which he did not expe& would be the case) that
they were unworthy of the confidence of the nation. He
entirely agreed with the marquis of Carmarthen, that una
nimity in the present moment was that on which all the
hopes of the nation did rest. Our enemies wouldmark well
what degree of unity, or of difeord, prevailed in the coun
cils of this country; and in proportion to these, their hopes,
andconfequently theirefforts, would be vigorous or languid.
He profiled an ardent desire of peace, but cautioned, with
much feeling and energy, the Servants of the crown against
grasping with cagernefsand precipitation at such a peace,
as would only be a temporal, refuge from impending dan
gers and,as must be followed (oon,by fresh;attacks,andalltha
calamities of a new war. Iris admitted, said his Lordship,
that there is no cause of despondency. Success, brillianc
success, has attended his Majesty's arms, this last campaign,
both by sea and land. The two great obie&s against whicH
the efforts of France and Spain had been direded, were Gib
raltar and Jamaica. Their attacks against both these im
portant places hadbeen baffled. The firft had been pre
served by the brave, and able, and vigilant, and unexampled
efforts of a great land commander. The fecund by the bold
and skilful address of a naval hero, whose name was dear at
home, and refye&ed abroad. General Elliot had signalized
his valour and eondud in Europe, and Admiral Lord Rod
ney had diftirguished his capacity and bravery in the Weft-
Indies. Success he hoped, would still attend his Majefty'#
arms, and if so, the nation had a right to look with confi
dence for a good peace. He had been employed in negoci
ation, and having had a little experience, he would give his
Majesty's ministers some advice. Ifthe French should re
fute to accede to honourable terms of peace at this time, it
was not rcafonable thatthey should be indulged with ah of
fer of the fame terms, if the events of the war should be in
favour of Greac-Britain—as he doubled not they would be#
The terms that were offered in November, 1,82, were not
of necessity, the terms that shoula be offered in November,
1,83, The French, he assured their Lordships, would rifeol
fall in their demands, according to the success or difeomfi
ture of theirarms: And his Majesty's miniftcrs, he affirmed
would be fools, if they did not follow their example. His
Lordship also cautioned his Majesty's ministers against in
novations in the constitution.
Lord Viscount Stormont, profcffing the greatest refpe& for
the crown, said, that he should be very forty to withhold bis
assent to an address fraught with sentiments of loyalty
and affedion to his Majesty; and in the present Situation
of public affairs, he would not oppose the granting of the
neceffar, supplies. He was aware of the importance of
unanimity, and therefore he would notdo or fay any thing
that looked like hanging on the wheels of government.
But he reserved to himfelf the liberty of delivering his opini.
on, on any future occasion, upon the matters that formed
the fubjed of the proposed address to his Majesty. This he
understood, from their Lordship's journals, was perfe&l,
parliamentary. Ade ference,a complaisance,he understood
co the crown, might forbear all animadverfionson doctrines'
or propositions contained in an addiefs, in reply to a speech
from the throne, v ithout precluding any number of either
house from delivering his sentiments with the most perfcQ
freedom, onthe fame doarines and propositions, when the,
came formally t-fore parliament. Having fiid this, m
would now trouble their Lordships with a few observations
on some parts of the speech, which be was at liberty to un
derstand to be the speech of the minister. Unconditional
independency bad beengranted to the Americans. Tfwbat
wasfaidon tbatfubjedin the addrtfs meant any thing,it meane
that. Noceven'a truce, orceffation ofhoftilities,hadbeen ob
tained as'hcpiiceof foimportanta concession. Whatever be
nature ofthe peace between this country and France, or at the
whatever time it may take place, at all adventures, and in
all cases, the Americans are independent. The offer of in
dependence is unqualified unconditional, irrevocable. The
navy is allowed to be in the highest state of perfe&ion The
epithet glorioufos been applied, and not improperly applied
to the bulwark of rhe nation. Let itthen beremembered and
I give warning that I shall remember, that when the peace
was made, ifit shall be made, the state of the British navy
was glorious. His Lordship then reasoned on the important
fubjed under consideration from hiftory,and particular trea
ties, some of which were on record in the journals of the
British parliament. When Philip the third of Spain, treat
ed with his revolted fubjeds of the United Provinces of the'
Netherlands, on the footing of indefodcuce, he obtained
