By the Confutation, which is our rule
of conduct, it is among other things de
clared, that all the social virtues arc in
difpcnfibly ncceffary to preserve the bleff
ingsof Liberty and good Government— to
this sentiment we all have fabferibed —
having constantly in view the welfare of
cur Country—the true interest of the peo
ple who have named us to the federal sta
tions we row hold, it muQ be the ardent
desire cf all that union and harmony may
be preserved and I ardently hope to derive
gipat fatisfaaicu in uniting %ih both
branches of the Legislature in the pleasing
talk of promotingihe lifting happnefs of
cur Fellow-Citizens.
Genthmen of the Houje of Representatives.
The fabjed of debts due from this State
having b=eo under confiJeration the last
session, and not coippleated, will require
your further attention ; and I cannot but
add my opinion, thatjultice and the honor
and interest of the State require provision
Ihould be made for dtfehargin^thef; Debts
as soon as may be.
er an event, fa much to be desired on
terms honorable, will be obtained.
It appears to be our duty to whet the
(word,and make all necessary preparation
for the dreadful alternative, WaR, —at
the fame time may we all unite in ardent
desire to that Bei^g who has the hearts of
all men in his hands, that we would in
cline all to peace on jult and honorable
terms —That the sword unstained with the
blood of men may be returned long to re

The English, on the other hand, halt
been equally fuccefuful. A letter from
the Dake of York, dated at Cateau, April
28th, to Mr. H. Dundas, Secretary of
States, fays, that " The enemy were at^
tacked in their flank and rear, and, altho'
they at fcft attempted to resist, they were
soon thrown into confufion, and the slaugh
ter was immense. Twenty two pieces of
cannon, and a very great quantity of am
munition, fell into cur hands."—ln ano
ther part ofthe field battle, he writes, that
" Twelve hundred men were left dead, &
ten pieces of cannon, and eleven tumbrils
filled with ammunition, were taken. The
enemy, in three columns, attacked likewifc
the army under his Imperial Majesty:
They vitre however, Tcpulfed with confi
dereable lofs."-—Another letter from him,
dated April 50th, mentions the surrender
of Landnctes, a town belonging to the
French-—the garrison, confining of about
5000 men, furrendeicd prifonCT of war.
The army under the command
of the Duke, cf York, amounting to
25,000 'men had marched from Gateau,
his head quarter to Hrengthen Gen.
Clairfajt's army near Courtray, which when
arrived, both armies were to give battle to
the French General Picbegru, whose army
was encamped not far off.— Clairfayt and
Picbegru have had one engagement, in
which the former repulsed the latter, seven
times—on the eighth attack, the latter for
ced the former to retreat, with the loss of
about zo pieces of cannon, and conquera
ble many men.

Fok a number of nights part, feverci
outrages have been committed by persons
„rbdp3 unknown : Last evening fevcral
hundreds were making their way to the
loath part of the town ; but were flopped
ana dispersed on the north fide of the Mill-
Bridge, by the fpirired conduX of Justice
Cooper. The intentions of these lawless
people cannot be exaal, ascertained, but
that the peace and tranquility of the citi
zens of Boston was threatened, is beyond
a doubt—every friend therefore to the
ftkc and good order of society, will ex
ert himfelf to prevent, by every means
