HARTFOR D, April 2 S.
Extras of a Letter from an Hon. Member
of Congress, dated April 14, 1780.
" A Reflation has just paffd for making
up depreciation to the army. A committee are
also appointed to go to Camp, and fee what
further can be done for the benefit and good
understanding of the Army, and to endeavor to
introduce feme economical arrangements in the
Staff Department. Oeconomy, Justice and
Taxation are of high importance to be attended
to at this time. I believe there has been no
peri. d, in which Jo much good, or fc much evil
might be done in a Jhori time, as at present."
The noble Marquis of Rockingham, in a
Debate in the British House of Peers, having
thrown out feme Reflections against that famous
Proclamation, with which the Commissioners
took leave of the Americans, Lord Carlfe, in
Answer, endeavored to prove, that the War
had been conducted, on the Part of the Englifo,
with a Moderation, a Clemency, a Generosity,
she more to be praijed, as the Americans, on
their Part, bad done all in their power to pro
voke the Spirit of Indignation and Revenge.
As long, continued be, as the Americans were
viewed in the Light of an unhappy people, led
away by their Chiefs, they were treated with
all pffble Humanity ; but when they appear
ed in Arms, as Allies of France, leagued with
the natural Enemy of Great Britain, to effed
its Deftruffion and Ruin, they could not expert
a Continuance of juch Treatment : lam igno
rant in what Light this Confedera ion is beheld
by feme Lords ; as for myff, I make no dif
ficulty to declare, that if tie Tobacco, which is
the Produce of America, is to be the Price of
the Affiance foe gets from France, I wife it
may never come to maturity : If the Wheat,
•which is sown in its PLins, is defined to make
Bread for the French Fleets, I would fee it
defrayed with Pleafare : If their Towns are
to receive French Garrisons, I Jhall feel great
Satisfaction in hearing that they are all dis
mantled, &c.
Lord Coventry, in the above mentioned De
bate, desired the House to remember that be
bad for? old all that bad happened, and ex
horted the Minifry to put an End to the Ame
rican War, a War impracticable, and the
continuation of which would, in a little Time,
accomplijb the DcftruElion of the Kingdom.
Mr. Thomas Townsend, in a late Debate
in the British House of Commons, congratulat
ed that Afembly on the News which bad then
just arrived, of taking a Fort from tbe Spani
ards in tbe Bay of Honduras, tbe frf sign of
an attack, be observed, which tbe War bad
produced.

This being a common concern, and no particular
Person having authority to" call this meeting (which
must convene by common confers) is the reason why
