The SPEECH fo^LORD MAYOR, JOHN
WILKES, Efa; last Thursday in the
mons, on the motion for an Address to the Kin?:
Mr. Speaker,'
T INTIRELY agree with the Honourable Gentleman,
A who seconded the motion for an Address to his Maie
fty, that every man ought now to speak out, and in a
,° l . ne ,t, portant as the present to the whole empire,
f WI^T the dignity and duty of Parliament
to lose itfeli in such a fulfome, adulatory Address to the
throne as that now proposed. We ought rather, Sir, to
approach our Sovereign with found and wholesome ad
even with remenftrances against the conduct of
his Mmifters, who have precipitated the nation into an
unjust, ruinous, felonious and murderous war. I call
the war with our brethren in America, an unjust, feloni
°^. war; because the primary cause and confeffed origin
°\":L S b h ° attem pt to ta ke their money from them with
out their consent, contrary to the common rights of all
, an „ d ' a : d , th . ofe | reat fundamental principles of the
English constitution for which Hampden bled. I assert
Sir, that it is in consequence a murderous war, because
it is an attempt to deprive men of their lives, for stand
•" ,''"': cause of the defence of their property
and their clear rights. It becomes no less a murderous
war with refped to many of our fellow-fubjeds of this
island, for every man, either of the navy or army, who
has been sent by government to America, and has fallen
° ™'? n % u ? n .atural and unjust contest, has been
mui dvrea by Administration, and his blood liee at their
door. Much a War, I fear, Sir, will draw down the
^^ ^ on this devoted kingdom.
, bl f war, Sir, fatal and ruinous to enrcoun
"!' It absolutely annihilates the only great source of
L for the remainder fee the Fourth Fage.]
L O ND O N, October 28.
TH E following, it is said, was the amendment pro,
posed on Thursday last in the House of Lords, by
the M $ of R m.
" That we behold, with the utmost concern, the dis
orders and difeontents in the British Colonies rather in
creased than diminished, by the means that have been
used to flipprefs and allay them; a circun&ncealene
Efficient to give th^ House juiticafyn to fear that thole
means were not originally well considered, or property
adapted to answer the ends to which they were directed
" We are fatisfied by experience that the misfortune
has, in a great measure, arisen from the want of full and
proper information being laid before the Parliament of the
true state and condition of the Colonies; by reason of
which, measures have been carried into execution injuri
ous and inefficacious, from whence no salutary end was
reasonably to be expected ; tending to tarniih the luftre of
the, British arms, to bring discredit on the wisdom of his
Majesty s councils, and to nourish, without hope of end,
2 most unhappy civil war.
“ Deeply impressed with a melancholy state of public
concerns, we shall, in the fulleft information we can ob
tain, and with the raoft mature deliberation we can em
ploy, review the whole of the late proceedings, that we
may be enabled to difeoyer, as we shall be most willing
to apply, the most effectual means of restoring order to
the diftradted affairs of the British empires consistence to
his Majesty's government, obedience, by a prudent and
temperate fife of its powers, to the authority of Parlia
ment, and a fatisfa&ion and happiness to all his people.
'' By these means we trust we shall avoid any occasion
of having recourse to the alarming dangerous expedient
of calling in foreign forces to the fupnort of his Alajefty's
authority within his own dominions, and the still more
dreadful calamity of shedding British blood by British
arms."
In the House of Lords, on Thursday, before any mo
tion could be made for taking his Majesty's speech into
consideration, Lord C n rose and presented a petition
from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council
of the city of London. The petition was accordingly re
ceived, read, and ordered to lie on the table.—The Lord
C r rose with some degree of warmth, and con
demned the impropriety of the conduct of the noble
Lord who presented the Detition ; said that it had been al#
;a r:i ' c is t s LjUfy, on such utectrfron, d: the prt
sent, not to receive or enter upon any business whatever,
till the speech from the throne was prcvioufly taken into
consideration. He added, it was a compliment uniformly
paid and expected ; that a failure of it was looked upon as
a mark of difrefpeß; but that, however, since the learned
and noble Lord had thought proper to depart from that
rule, he should, in turn, beg leave to present a petition
from the Freeholders, &c. of his Majesty's Colony of
Nova-Scotia. His Lordship then presented the petition,
in his place, which was of course read by the clerk. It
is a very long one, and asserts the sovereignty and supre
macy of the Mother Country, in the strongest and most
fpecific terms ; makes offers of assistance, and teftifies the
loyalty, obedience and zeal of the Nova-Scotiahs, in ex
pressions as the most zealous supporters of the claims of
the British Parliament could possibly dictate. But before
the Clerk had proceeded quite half through, the matter
took a strange turn ; for after this political confeffion of
faith, the Nova-Scotians immediately change their note,
and enter into a very long enumeration and detail of their
grievances ; condemn the whole system of Colony Go
vernment; point out several modes of redress and regu
lation; and, in fine, become at once the authoritative
Counfellors, and, if not the actual, at least the virtual ac
ctfers of their trusty friends the present Minders. When
the Clerk was begining to read this part of the petition,
it seemed to be the wish of some of the noble Lords in of
fice and their friends to fink it ; but several of the noble
Lords in opposition insisted that it fliould be read through,
that the whole might be received or rejected together^
It was ordered to lie on the table.
