of defyotifm and popeity in Canada, un
der which America will never fit quiet,
this horrid and unconstitutional a€t, by
extending the boundaries of its province,
has invaded the property, and removed
the landmarks of its neighbouring colo
nies ; a violation thatjuftice Ihould redress,
if America Were even silent thereupon.
'Seventhly, Because power is given to
the commissioners to grant pardon to peo
ple who not only, they fay, have bceh
guilty of no offences, but the very bill)
themselves fay the fame thing for them;
for, besides acceding to the claims of
America, the Americans are stiled his
Majesty's 'faithful fubje&s •,' and to par
don faithful fubje^s is in aft of fupero
gation, if not of absurdity.
B',bfy, Because-the appointment of
governors being now in the hands of the
Congress, an attempt to foperfede that
power before it be known whether the
terms offered be accepted, looks more like
having an eye to that Machiavefion max
im of' decide et irnpera,' than to the more
solid benefits ofa general union.
Lastly, Because concession now, like a
death bed repentance, comes at the lift
hour ; and being, as avowedly, the cffe&
of necessity, and not of principle, we are
left under all the fears and apprehension,
of dissolution ; and without the hope of
salvation, but in the magnanimity of Ame.
rica : a magnanimity, however, which we
have already experienced, and \vtiia (by
infilling on thejuftice of removingfrom his
Majesty's councils those evil miniftcra ^ho
have trodden on the liberties, and, with
savage cruelty, spilled the bloodof Ame
rica, and by placing in their room the
friends of humanity arid of the constituti
on) may restore us to that health and
strength, and again to that peace and em
pire, which was once the boast of this coun
try, and the terror of the world beside.

Ehall of a taler from Thetford, in Norfolk
March 6,
" We have just learnt that a rebellion
i's begun in this country. Eight hundred
most determined men are already in arrrs,
and more are hourly joining them. They
seem determined to prevent any men be
ing sent out of this country to America.--
The catch word among them is, " The
American war in Norfolk." Some of
the gentlemen who planed the scheme for
opening a fubfeription for raising men for
his Majesty's service, have been obliged
to fly from their habitations. Should o
ther counties follow their example, govern
ment will want their troops at home to pre
serve peace, instead of fending them to
subdue the Americans.. This is an alarm
ing circumstance to us here; but I hope
the popular gentlemen of this county will
be able to quiet the insurgents, which they
are endeavouring to do, without calling
to their assistance the military power, for
that would certainly makethem defparate.
and inflame them more against govern
ment."
