honour, they would never set all these at
nought rather than forego the malignant
plealure of punishing a few loyalists ; for
if general reports may be depended on, by
far the greater part have already withdrawn
themselves to Nova Scotia. But I cannot
conclude this number without enquiring
how these people have treated the citizens
of the United States, when they have gone
into New-York, for 1 have underftoo'd ma
ny opponents to their return (and if I am
not miilaken some oi the committee) have
had the madefy to go into that city - pray
did they let up a hue and cry, and hunt
them down as we have done some of them--
have they dared, in violation of the treaty,
to expel a single lubjedt of thele States—
What, Sir, have they too, as well as the
degenerate British, outdone us in humani
ty—ls it possible—the loyalists, that crew
of-monfters —net men —upon whom every
epithet of opprobium has been applied till
the very iources of defamation have been
drained or exhausted—ls. it possible .that
they too-flawing Wf,fhould pra&ife more
true politeness, than the wile, the.virtuous,
the enlightened and civilized ions of free
dom, who compole the committee; will
they be out,d ne by the have of slaves ! Let
them cease then to despise until they have
learnt to excel.

G^rJ Reafont far Peace; f rom ^ CofarMfy
on the Pfoncij fray ^h America, and the
Preliminary flrlQ ts Peace ^^ France and
Spain.
" NF, P"" c 'P'l end 'hat our Raiefmen had
undoubtedly in prof e&, was to bieak the
prend combination, which had been ft rmed againfl
B itoHt. ahis was a matter of the highest conie
que ce to the filiation and webare of the king
dom. The tdntintiance of the confederacy, if%
Should be firengthened by. our pride and obflin^cy
injefafing fc^na^h concerns, might heve
been productive of the moll fatal effe&s. Whereas
if it could once bq dulolved, prudent steps miohe
be taken to prevent fuuh a league against us in fa,
t»ie; and, by framing new alliances, never again
to be reduced to the wretched condition of force,
ly having a single fewer that we could call our
friend, ~
" Another import, nt ohjeO muff have been to
give the n^ticn the opportunity of recovering its
strength, that ft might be prepared for a frelh
contest, if, in the ccurfe of thing,, dilutes should
again mile between th, Country apd its ancient
enemies. It may be hosed and believed; that
hofWetes ^il not toon be revived ; and much will
depend, for the prolongation of peace, on the
wildom, policy, and vigour with which our pub
lic aHaifs,re /conduce: 1 . At any rate it was if
the utmost c. frequence to obtain a space fur Jef
fefiig the enormous exprnces of the narion, and
for lepriin^. , as far as possible, the loins we had
tuflaioed. It would Purely have been Very unwise
to have continued the war till our.iiflan4.es seco
totally exhauiled. Itis a bad time for negocig
tion, when a ko gdom is /tome to the end of its
resources. That is net the time for; treating with
an enemy upon terms which are tolerably advan
tageous. Indeed, the re^fon of negotiation hal
already been delayed f ar too l%g ; f or the acc&
mulattd public debt, the millions to be funded,
the millions 10 be tailed by way of fupplv, embed
aloud that there was not a moment to .be 1 ft in
fatting an end to the war. Indeed, when we
cenfrder that the fuppeft of the peace ettablilh
m<nt will be as much as the nation can well bear,
and that it wil^ require all the wisdom, and all
the integrity of cur rulers to put it upon such a
looting as shall allow room for the recovery of our
fl^ngth, we must be convinced that this was not
the tape for the protraction of hoftirites.
" 1 hole general reasons for coming, as speedily
as pohb.e, 10 a treaty with our numerous and for
midable enemies, were , lirewherfed by the cala
mny of a ^^e and untruLlYl feaion."

We are informed that a number of loyal families,

a treaty of peace, they would be permitted to ce-e^joy

were not fufteied to land, and had only a short time
