An ADDRESS of his Excellency Gov. TRUM
BULL, to the General Aflembly and the Free
men of the State of Connecticut; declining any
further Election to public office.
(Concluded from our las. )
I would also beg, that, for the fuppert
of national faith and honour, as well as
domestic tranquility, they would pay the
flrideft attention t all the tacred rilled of
justice and equity, by a faithful observance
and .fulfilment of all public as well as
private engagements --Public expences are
unavoidable ; —and those or the late war,
although they fall Abort of what might
have been expected, when compared with
the magnitude of the obje& for which we
have contended, the length of the conteff,
with our unprepared filiation and peculi
arity of cirmmftances, yet could not fail
to be great ; —but great as they may ap^
pear to be, when, for the defence ofcut
invaluable rights and liberties, the Support
of our governs ent, and our national exist
ence, they have been incurred and allowed
by those to whom, by your own choice,
you have delegated the power, and assign
ed the duty, of watching over the com^
mon weal, and guarding your interests,
their public engagements are as binding
on the people, as your own private coh
trath ; and are to be dikhmged with the
fame good faith and punctuality; I most.
earnefily request my fallow citizens, that
they revere and praftife virtue in all its
loi ely forms :—this being the surest and
best establishment of national, as well as
private felicity and prosperity.—That,
difmimng as well all local and confined
prejudices, as unreasonable and excessive
jealousies and suspicions, they Rudy peace
and harmony with each other, and with
the several parts of the confederated re
public —That they pay an orderly and re
fpectful regard to the laws and regulations
of government ; and that, making a judi
cious use of that freedom and frequency
of election, which is the great security
and palladium of their rights, they will
place confidence in their public officers,
and submit their public concerns, with
chearfulnefs and readiness, to the decifirms
and determinations of Congress and their
own legislatures ; whose collected and u
nited wisdom, the people will find 'o be
a much more sure dependance, than the
uncertain voice of popular clamour, which,
mod frequently, is excited and blown a
bout by the artful and designing part of
the community, to elpd particular, and
. often times, sinister purposes.—At Rich
times, the Ready good sense of the vir
tuous public, wifely exercised in a judicious
choice of their representatives, and a
punctual observance of their collected
counftls, is the surest guide to national
interest, happiness and Security.
Finally, my fellow-citizens! I exhort
you to love one another; let each one ft
i the good of his neighbour and of the com
munity, as his own :—hate ftrifes, confer
tions, jealousies, envy, avarice and eve, ,
: evil work, and ground yourfiv^ ^ this
late War in America. Mr. Paine, obviously, with
all his talents, cannot mount to the source and
secret spring of things—and there is one, who can
thus mount, and that is General Washington.
What a defidetarum mail it be in the world of let
ters and political attainment, if the General would,
without delay, enter on this great work ?—of his
talents in literary competition, his circular letter
alone is a fufficient proof.
fc " The Grand juries in Albany and Duchess
counties have indicted, in King's and Queen's
Counties, a taft number of the inhabitants, for ad
hering to the enemies of the States ; and if we may
judge from their copies of indictments, which have
found their way to New-York, not less than iboo
people on Long Island are in the fads. The great
Mr. Duer has been in town, and offered to acquit
every man of them for ten guineas a head!.
faithful and fare axiom, that virtue exalt
eth a nation, but that fin and evil workings
are the deftruftion of a people.
I commend you, gentlemen, and the
good people of the Rate, with earnestness
and ardour, to the bluffing and protection,
the counsel and direction ofthe great coun
fellor and director; whole wisdom and
power is fufficient to eftabliffi you as a
great and happy people :—and wishing
you the favour of this divine benediction,
in my public character,— I bid you a long
—a happy adieu, Tam gentlemen,
Your molt obedient humble servant,
JONATH. TRUMBULL.

FROM many articles in the St. James's Chroni
cle of the 20th of Novem.laft, the progress of
Volunteeringjn Ireland, teems to be alarming to the
authority of Britain, in that country. The Irish
&Q on having no Vice-roy, but an Tfifhman, and
the New Parliament, is said, to have been, in con
sequence drifolved. This event has created great
ferments in that nation.
It is also said, that the J^te Parhamem of Ireland,
in consequence of feme Commercial reftri&iors al
ready laid, or to be laid by z^Wriu on'their trade,

lutn n) declared : that, as the,crown of Ireland whs
Imperia! and S^refo/the Subjeasof that ReHn
were not Britfo Sulfefts, and, of 'conLquence,
had a right to f%m with foreign nations fiich cm
mercial Treaties as, to the king and Council of
that nation only,' should seem meet.
