Lond o n.,
HOUSE of COMMONS, June 11.
General Conway rose to move for leave to
bring in a bill for the better enabling his Majesty
to grant commiffioris for railing battalions of
corps of volunteers, for the defence of the coasts
during the present war. By way of preface, he
ibated, tha^ if any solid objections had originally
occurred to gentlemen from the novelty of the
measure, they were, by this time, upon mature
reflection, entirely done away.—lreland afford
ed a proof that there was no danger in trusting
the people with arms; for though in point of
form, there appeared to be a division between
England and Ireland, they were in fact more
closely linked, more cordially united than ever
they had been. There remained at present only
one thing to be done, in order to restore unity
and harmony to the empire, and that was to move
for the Independence of America t,pon the fame
principle that the Independence of Ireland was ac
knowledged : When America Jbculd have a Legifa
ture o' her own, independent of the Parliament of
Great- Britain, he made no doubt) but France, and
the Agents of the Congrefswould not be able to pre
sent a good underdanding between the Colonies and
the Mother Country. He had been accused of
having imposed upon the House when he said,
that there were persons in Europe authorifed by
America to treat with us about a peace ; but no
impofitioii whatever was either used or intended;
for there certainly were perlons authorifed to
treat with us, but he had never said upon what
terms; and therefore he had said nothing but
what at that time he knew to.be true. As to the
measure which he was now going to propofc to
the House, it was, he hoped, better underflood
than it was when it was firft mentioned ; the
alarm was pretty nearly subsided, and the neces
sity of the measure was now apparent.—The
Lord Lieutenants were thought to be all against
it; but though it was said that the plan was re
jected by them all, in their meeting at the St.
Alban's tavern, where only 18 had attended, yet
in their particular answers to the Secretary of
State, they all appeared to be fatisfied with it.
He concluded then by moving for leave to bring
in the bill, and was seconded byMr. T. Townjbend,
Secretary at War.
The plan which is in agitation with refteel to A
mericaj and by which, it is hoped, rhe Americans
tnay be induced to consent once more to a connection
withthis kingdom, was formed by a noble Lord.
This plan is fad to be, that America /ball have a
legislature of her own, fapreme in itfelf, and indepen
dent of any other legfuture upon earth; this legisla
ture to conffl of tlx King of England, as King of
America, and such a representation of the Upper
and Lower House as the Americans frail think pro
per to have formed; so that America will be really
, like Ireland in point of legifature; fee will be to all
intents and purposes regal within her felf^nd contri
bute her (bare to form without, an imperial power,
to confft of all the fubjeAs who obey the Monarch
wks fits on the throne of Great-Britain, but without
being in the fmallefl degree under the control of the
Britif) Parliament.

To t'be Jeverat LoUeaois f diale faxes,
Gentlemen,
IT is a disagreeable circiimftance, that the payment of
Taxes is so much delayed: What can be the cause,
but misinformation ? Many of you have this idea, that ex
ecution is not to issue; so far is this from the case, that no
longer than in May last the General Assembly passed the fol
lowing resolve. '< Rcfolved by this Aflcmbly, That the
Treasurer take effe&ual care to enforce the collection of
taxes according to law." As the fubferiber hath hitherto
endeavoured to comply with Ads of Assembly, especially
those relating to his office, nothing, but the frtoft vigorous
exertions, can prevent him from complying with the above
resolve. That the taxes may so be paid in for the future,
there may be no expence to the Colic&ors, is the wish and
defirc of gentlemen, Your most obedient humble Levant,
JOHN LAWRENS E, Treasurer.
