WEEKLY.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1778.
To the PRINTER of the NEWPORT GAZETTE SIR,
In your last Week's Paper you published a Resolution of the, said to be issued by the Congress, and dated as to Time, but not as to Place. This Circumstance puzzles me exceedingly; as I wish to forward two or three Words to some of my old Friends, who, I have heard from common Report, have Seats in this renowned Assembly. Surely these Lords and Governors of the Western World are not ashamed, or afraid to tell us where they are, and from what Region they issue forth their Mandates to bind People (as they do by their Resolutions) in all Cases whatsoever. Besides all this, I have heard of so many Shifts and Changes in this said Congress of late, that really I cannot for the Life of me, guess whom we have got together now. There is indeed at the Bottom the Name of my old Pat-companion, Charles Thompson the Schoolmaster; but I should hardly think that dull Rogue to be a proper Representative of those Representatives in Congress, who represent the Representatives in all the Assemblies, who are the true Representatives of the Committee-Representatives, who choose them to represent the represented "good People" of all their Colonies. I fancy Master Charles must have taken a Cup too much, when he subscribed those Resolutions, and therefore literally did not know whereabout he was. Formerly, we were indulged with the Acts of these Apostles, or rather with some choice Extracts from the Minutes of their Proceedings; now they have got the Staff in their hands, these brave Champions of our Lives and Liberties begin to use us with very little Ceremony, and instead of recommending Things to us, as they used to do; they resolve, and they order, and they command, upon pain of close Quarters, and God knows what. They have told us, that we are under arbitrary, cruel and tyrannical Government, when the British Constitution was the Law of the Land; but I would allow Charles Thompson to flag me like one of his Boys, if I did not prove, upon a fair Occasion, that there never were such arbitrary, cruel and tyrannical Proceedings in any Part of the British Dominions in America, till this worshipful Congress set up for our Lords and Masters; and who are they; what are they; where do they come from; where do they sit and issue out their Bills and Anathemas like the Popes of Rome? I am told, that a Man of moderate Fortune may buy up a Dozen of them, which, I own, is one very good Reason for them to continue in Congress, since they have little or nothing to lose out of it. Some of them (I hear) are so obscure, that their Names might as fairly be published as those of Virgil's third-rate Heroes; upon which Account I should not care to bid Money for them;
because 'tis just as good a Bargain to buy a Pig in a Poke, as it would be to purchase Anns in a Word. I am afraid, they would be worth but little more than the Hitters, which must be used to bring them Home.
However, Mr. Printer, if you can favour us with a List of their Names, that we may know (as the saying is) "who and who are together;" you will oblige a multitude of Customers, and, among the rest,
Your humble Servant, TOM. DOUBT.
By the Ship TOM, Capt. LEE, in Eight Weeks from Liverpool, we have received the following Proceedings of the British Parliament.
L O N D O N. HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY, November 20.
AS soon as his Majesty had left the House, the Earl of Harcourt and Lord Piercy were introduced, and took their seats; the Lord Chancellor then read his Majesty's speech, and afterwards the Clerk of the House. Lord Piercy then rose up, and in a very short speech, which could not be heard below the Bar, moved for an humble Address to be presented to his Majesty, to return him thanks for his most gracious Speech. The Earl of Chesterfield, in another short speech, seconded his Lordship. After which, Lord Coventry got up, and opposed the motion for the Address, and concluded with recommending to his Majesty's Ministers to withdraw the troops from America.
Lord Chatham, then rose, and entered into a series of lamentations on the iniquitous conduct of the Ministry, the impolicy of the American war, the improper mode of conducting it, and the dreadful crisis of public affairs.
The Earl began with complaining that Parliament were most cavalierly treated by the Ministry; that instead of the latter's persuading his Majesty, agreeable to ancient custom, to ask the advice of the great council of the nation, when matters stood in such a very alarming situation, when the very existence of the constitution was at stake, the speech, in the most peremptory and dictatorial terms, talked of the line of conduct to be followed by Government as a matter already settled, and only use the words wisdom and support in addressing the great council of the nation, begged that Parliament would make every grant of troops, money, &c. however inordinate and improper, which the Minister thought proper to ask. This language, the Earl observed, was equally new and improper. It struck him in so reprehensible a point of view, that he scrupled not to say the Minister who dared to advise the use of it ought to be called to a most severe account, and he wished to see the front of the man
who was sufficiently confident to venture to tell the King that his affairs were in a hopeless condition. Having finished his animated version on the speech, he drew a most tremendous picture of the times, and dwelt upon the necessity of instantly changing the measures of Government, and instead of pursuing the war, of taking the most effectual means of procuring peace and tranquility. In the course of his speech, he took occasion to be particularly severe on those who had consented to the turning the savage knife upon the rebels with the tomahawk and scalping knife, and said it was not only a most inhuman and barbarous mode of carrying on the war, but that it was a circumstance the Americans never would forget or forgive. He called it disgraceful to the British banner, lowering our national character as men of courage, polluting the fame which the success of our arms had created in all parts of the world, and sacrificing to a mean revenge the noblest principle of honour and humanity. "Is bidding a band of savages embue their barbarous hands in the blood of our fellow-subjects (added his Lordship) a piece of conduct consistent with the great ideas of the Poet? Does it speak
"The pomp, pride, and circumstance of "glorious war!"
No, it favours of want of feeling, want of a necessary conception of the nature of justifiable ambition, and I will venture to say, it is not consonant to law."
The hiring of foreign troops the Earl also reprobated as impolitic in the highest degree; and after having laboured to prove that it would have been more constitutional to have resisted new levies of British troops, declaring that he would follow that off to his back to serve his country in a right cause, but that he would not give government a shilling to carry on the present ruinous and unnatural war; he ludicrously said, Government made so many new connections, and some of them were so strange, that it now only remained for them to enter into a treaty with the King of the Gipsies, in order to complete the motley list of their allies. He described the Americans as a brave thinking people, men every way superior to the petty, paltry German Princes, who sold their subjects as butchers did their meat at the shambles; and to strengthen his argument for an immediate alteration of measures, he described America as rising every day in power and increasing in military strength, particularly her armies, and by way of opposition declared, that the military discipline among our troops across the Atlantic was scandalously relaxed, and daily growing worse; that our military at home and in Ireland were by no means equal to the preservation of Great Britain in case of an attack from the House of Bourbon; that our navy at home was so shockingly weak and unfit for service, that no man of credit would take the

command of it; and, in consequence of the present ruinous state, was altogether in a defenceless state. Among other proofs of our daily decreasing power and advantage, he instance, that our naval was daily pestered with privateers, which annoyed our commerce much more than was ever known in times of foreign war, and added, that our being shut out of a river was not the most inconvenient we felt. After having uttered innumerable praises of America, his Lordship boasted, that as far as they had resisted for the sake of freedom, he would justify their conduct, but that he was not altogether so entirely of opinion with them as to undertake either to defend or support every thing they have done; America, his Lordship declared, was not to be justified in throwing off her dependency on Great-Britain; the mother country had an undoubted right to a supremacy, but then she should enjoy and use it usually for her own interest and that of her Colonies, and not with a view to derive great advantage to herself, and to oppress America. The act of navigation should be allowed, and every preference to independence, restricted on the one hand, every desire of unconventional submission given up on the other; this his Lordship asserted was the only rational idea of accommodation that could be adopted; and that it was at once honorable and easy, and promised to be permanent. The present moment his Lordship pointed out as the proper point of time to begin attempting such a mode of accommodation; hence, by her late declarations of not assenting America, seemed not to be on the best terms with the Congress, and probably she had at least a war, some treaty was on the carpet between her and the Congress Deputies, the terms of which she meant to signify the latter into a compliance with, by appearing to be in earnest in her professions to the Court of Great-Britain; that we should take advantage of this fluctuation of affairs, and while there was any apparent goodwill between France and America, to settle matters with the latter, and restore our own distracted affairs to such order as was absolutely necessary for the safety of the empire. As a first step towards effecting what his Lordship advised, he moved an amendment to the Address proposed to be presented; which amendment was as follows:
"That this House do most humbly advise and supplicate his Majesty to be pleased to cause the most speedy and effectual measures to be taken for restoring peace in America; and that no time may be lost in proposing an immediate cessation of hostilities there, in order to the opening a treaty for the final settlement of the tranquillity of the empire by a removal of the unhappy causes of this ruinous civil war, and by a just and adequate security against the return of the like calamities in time to come. And this House desire to offer the most durable assurance to his Majesty, that they will, in due time, cheerfully cooperate with the magnanimity and tender goodness of his Majesty, for the preservation of his people, by such explicit and most solemn declarations and provisions of fundamental and irrevocable laws, as may be judged necessary for ascertaining and fixing, for ever, the respective rights of Great-Britain and her Colonies." This amendment having been read by the second time.
The Earl of Sandwich got up, and said it was with great confidence he rose to reply to the noble Lord so renowned as a wise statesman and powerful orator, as the propounder of the amendment; but as he was convinced from what had fallen from the noble Earl, that he not only was an able politician, but had a real and sincere regard for his country; he
thought it his duty to set his Lordship right respecting several particulars which he had advanced, and which were absolutely false in fact. He promised that he was well aware the noble Earl did not mean to mislead the House, or to misrepresent any one matter which he had taken upon him to mention in the course of his speech; since however it was evident that the noble Earl had been misinformed, he would undertake to give him in respect to such of the particulars as fell immediately under his cognizance, and which he could prove to be very differently situated from the noble Earl's description. The first of these was the state of the navy in Europe, which the noble Earl had declared not only to be weak, and unfit for service, but in so despicable and deplorable a state, that no man of credit in his profession would take the command of it. So far was this from being the case, that he was most readily happy to be able to say, in the hearing of the House, and of the strangers, and not to care how universally it was reported, that our navy never was in so powerful and respectable a condition as at present. We have no less than forty-two ships of the line in commission in Europe, thirty-five of which were fully manned, excepting only a deficiency of about six hundred men upon their entire complements, which was an uncommonly trifling deficiency, and very easily made up in case of necessity; that the seven other ships were lately put into commission, and therefore not yet manned; but in all the manning necessary for them were ready, and that no doubt their complements would soon be procured. This naval force, his Lordship remarked, was superior to what France, or any of the continental powers has; and that when it was considered we had more line of battle ships, fully manned, in different parts of the world, an incredible number of frigates, and other armed vessels in America, and a most extraordinary addition of frigates and small vessels built and bought, and now preparing for sea, surely it could not be argued, that our navy was in any rank like a weak state, or an unserviceable condition. With regard further to the assertion, "that no officer of credit would take the command of the fleet in Europe," it was equally false; a noble, and an able officer, of one of the first families in the kingdom, and of an irreproachable character, was both ready and willing to take the command; nor was he the only officer of reputation ready to accept it; others, many others, were also willing, and God forbid that the safety of the kingdom should rest solely on the experience and valour of an individual in any profession, however excellent his character, however great his abilities!
His Lordship, with a view to satisfy the House respecting the state of the Navy, produced papers, from which he read a variety of matters, all tending to prove his assertions, by specifying the particulars necessary to convey an exact information of the numbers, size, crews, &c. &c. of the various vessels in the service; and after very circumstantially proving, that our navy was now much superior to the united fleets of the House of Bourbon, the Earl declared, that it was a doctrine he most heartily subscribed to, and hoped every successor to him would feel the force of, that the person who presided at the Admiralty Board in Great-Britain, was no longer worthy of holding his office, than while he kept the navy of this country in a state of superiority over that of every other European power.
He paid Lord Chatham very high compliments on his declaration, that he wished not to have America independent, but would at all events, preserve the superiority of Great-Britain, and oblige the Americans to allow the force of the Navigation Act. This, his
Lordship remarked, was a style of thinking, which was very different from the general language of Opposition; and he doubted not, that many of the noble Lords, who would go entirely with the Earl in the business and debate of the day, entertained sentiments of a very opposite nature.
The noble Earl had declared, that among other losses this country felt from pursuing the American war, the river of Lisbon was shut up. This declaration, his Lordship said, was to him altogether unintelligible; we had two means of war now stationed in the river of Lisbon, and we had the free use of the river as much as ever. Add to this, the Portuguese publicly denied countenancing the Americans, and in consequence of some of the Rebel Privateers had a vessel taken out of the Portuguese ship, highly laden.
With regard to France, he said he would venture to declare, that remonstrances, strong remonstrances, had been made to the Court of Versailles on the score of assisting the Americans, and countenancing their privateers. That as a nation the French had solemnly declared their intention to act amicably to Great-Britain; that their public ordinances, many of which had been lately issued, corresponded with the declaration; that as a further corroboration of it, they had lately ordered that no American ship should come into their ports, unless in cases of particular and urgent distress; and that no longer since than a fortnight ago, they had obliged the American Captain, who brought in two of our West India fleet to a port in France, to give up his prize, and restored them to the merchants here, and that the ships were now on their way to England. That Great-Britain had every national assurance of friendship from France; and although it could not be denied, nor avoided, but in such a situation as we stood in with America, private persons in France might clandestinely send out stores, and furnish the rebels with assistance—that it would surely be impolitic to commence a new war on such a account; and that the men who endeavoured to embroil their country in a French war at this crisis, could not be said to be the friends and well wishers of their country.
The noble Earl had said he wished to see the man who dared to stand forward and tell his Majesty that his affairs were in a hopeful condition. He could, he declared, shew his forehead on that score; and with an unembarrassed countenance, tell him that his affairs were in a hopeful condition. News, he presumed, would soon arrive from William Howe, which would not only effectually disprove the calumnious and distressing relation given by the noble Earl as descriptive of the present situation of affairs, but would operate to the satisfaction of every member of that House, and to the satisfaction of the whole nation.
Lord Abingdon followed Lord Sandwich and was for a cessation of hostilities.
Lord Shelburne would not credit the accounts of the navy stated by the Earl of Sandwich, and asked why official papers were not laid before the House in a proper parliamentary manner. He attacked the Ministry, and took up an hour in arraigning their measures, and giving his reasons for coinciding with the Earl of Chatham in support of the amendment.
Lord Suffolk replied to various parts of Lord Chatham's speech, and gave his negative to the amendment, as impolitic and ill-timed.
The Duke of Grafton complained of the mode of managing the debate; he was exceedingly severe on Administration on account of the whole of their conduct, and supported the amendment.
