_ s nothing more can be wished for in behalf of so remote an
eflabiishrnent as youre. th-m the enjoyment of a free tude,
the sum posseflion of Form , and the tunquillity os rinte
famtiiet, I musi suppo e t at I addreft myseitssto . peop e who
know their interest, end whq ate strfible of the misfortune. to which
they 'tgiu be exposed by wit: 'a-ctinsi; -usi:mselw<-t from the dainionof
thessKtsigssoi Englandsi - ' -
If,! could, by Fro rssrepresentationl, imprest them with : doe sense
of their errour, m aci iming the entranoe of the rebele into their country,
in neglecting their duty to their King, and committing an offence against
God, I should, in so doing. feel a true satisfaction. ! shall make it my
iory to reflore the happinest, and regain the confidenee of : people who
have been seduced from sithe right way, by evil extmplet, and evil
counsels; but who an hill clpable of diseerning good from evii,-and
again becoming good subjects and good Christians.
__ The (tom: which threatens them onall sides it gathering fast, and will
soon burst" without distinaion on the rebelt and those who shall so port
them. Let them therefore imitate the conduct of their relations and friends
lt the post of St. Vincenu; who, having seen thtir errour, have by
Voluntarily forsaking it, nailed themselves of the rotection of hie
Britanniek Majesty, ever disposed to forget the fztulte o those who know
how to deserve hit oodnest, by returnin to their duty.
In order to maze the inhabitants o the" Illinois sensible of their
dlngerons situation, it it necessary to unfold to them, the meane and
preparation: which will be made use of to expel the rebele. and reesiablish
that peace and tr'anquillity which have been distributed by those who feel
no altechmcnt but to thetr interest. .
- The Chickal'aws, Cherokees , and the other southem natiom, inveterate
enemies to the rebels, are se; to invade the lllinoit on the first opening
of the spring, they will be susivained by : regilhent of the King'- troug
now on their way from Penseola with their officers; the whole under e
conduct of the superintendant of the southern department.
: T n'etiom inhtbiting the lhoret of the lake: win all be devoted to
71]: ssservice ] shall recommend to them. ,
Those of the Wabalh who came down this fall, have died in concert
'with shem, and have abandoned the fla of the rebela.
; The fix nations, the Chamout, the sonnootouant begin the frontiert
closely every where, the communication by the fall: of the Ohio il
intercepted, the rivert blocked up. Thin is the pros & which presents
itself to the consideratiou of the mhnbitantt of the [] inoit; and if they
stick themselvee any longer to be so fer blitided by the promises of the
Means (hitherto so badly fulfilled) at to range themselvet under
Mr laudarde; they must prepare to lbide by the eonsequeneee.
The reinforcement of troopt which l expect this spring. will eneble me
to snyport the good, and to punish bad subjecte
May honour, gratitude, and religion, may eon'ugal love and parentll
undernese operate on their minde, thet l mny e!) use with warmth the
interests of the inhabitanzs of the Illinoit. Thu (hail be the object of
my cares; this it what ! wish with fenour and sinccrity.

w ]! I !. E various conjectures ere formed ebout the conduct of the
-- inhabitlnte in the lower pem of the country, upon the lete inva
siosh, perhaps the sentimente of one, who wa- aspectntor, to! be lmpteble
to the publick. lt may appear surprismg toctthose, remote tom the scene
of afiion, thlt no better reliflnnce wu made ; but when every eitcmnflance
is known and considered, there will be no room for wonder, nor cause
of censure. Thofl! eountiee heve been drained of so many young men
during the war, that their military force it very trilling, even if employed
with the utmost skill. The ople could not be insensible of this, and
their own weaknest in every missed; therefore itwn natural for them to be
tlarmed on the sudden zmval of : fleet, which looked rellly formideble.
'{he officer}, when they saw the rapid regrest of the ships, perceived
! tir danger; but could they have laid the molt perfect plln for a noble
defence, th had not time to execute it. Some of them exerted their
cffcrtt in rai ing militia to throw aflisiance into the sort; but before thit
could be done, it was attzcked and forced to surrender. For such wa
the difference between the sirength of the assailmtt, end those who opposed
them, that nothing great could reasonlbly be ex ected from the letter.
_After thin, every thing .within the envirom of Nor olk, wn in the hand:
df the British troopa. Struck with dread and conflernztion, many of the
.; itants escaped from their habitztionl with all they could carry away;
& more cool and deliberate, resolved to remain in their houses and 11]:
for mercy: And in gentral, is they have offended, thit it their only
(few, that they implorcd chmency and mercy. The troopl did not scour
si the whole of the lower cuuntics, but wherever they marched, the people
mmuch distresscd, and call aloud not only for pity end compaflion, but
for relief and affistn ce. The article of bread is much wanted among
them; lnd ! doubt not that the humane znd charitable will turn their
siattention to the sufferings of their countxymen, while the unthinking
7
lnd unseelil will condemn their_ conduct, lad accumulate their mis
