For the NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE.
Messieurs PRINTERS,
IT is with indignation, that every friend to the revolution, must see the endeavours that are yet in defiance of justice, continually used by the disaffected to procure the restoration of the refugees. Aware of the mischiefs that would attend such an event, our laws are armed with the severest terrors against those perfidious men, who deaf to the cries of her distress, abandoned their country when plunged in adversity, to the ravages of an inveterate foe. Having rioted on her spoils, they wish to share in her happiness: after a conduct so notorious, nothing but an assurance equal to their crimes, could prevent them from flying if possible, to regions, where the sound of freedom has never reached, and killing in climes where America is not known.
Emboldened by despair, and presuming on a clause in the fifth article of the treaty, some of this class have attempted to return. But is it not astonishing, that their royal master by deserting them at the moment they have most need of his assistance, should leave them to the mercy of a people against whom the keenest arrows of their rage have incessantly been hurled. What a requital for those, who with their lives in their hands, have devoted their fortunes to his service! Are not such acknowledgements proofs, either of the basest ingratitude in their sovereign, or that he disavows the conduct and principles of men, who have sheathed their swords in the bowels of their brethren; and that he is convinced, that traitors to their country can never be faithful to their prince? Why else has he so anxiously endeavoured to free himself of the incumbrance? Why has he assiduously sought to thrust them, who have fought under his banners, into the lap of their enemies? If he is their sovereign, they have a right to his protection. If they are the subjects of these states, why does he interfere with the internal police of our government? and seek to restrict us in the first and greatest prerogative of a free people; that of making our own laws, and governing our own subjects.
The situation of these people, it must be confessed, is truly deplorable. Thrown off by their friends on one side, persecuted by their enemies on the other, they seem to be outcasts of creation, and while policy forbids their return, humanity drops a tear on their sufferings, and bemoans the necessity of their banishment. Could they consistently with our future safety be admitted; the generous bosom of every American, forgetful of past injuries, in pity to their feelings, would expand with mercy to receive them. But self preservation, natures first law, requires us to keep their crimes in view, and by the remembrance of their guilt, to cherish our resentment. It being impossible that persons who have been so uniformly opposed to the revolution, should on a sudden be cordially reconciled to it.
A crowd of refugees pouring in upon us, would give them an influence, that might in time destroy the basis of our liberty, though founded in blood. They would gradually insinuate themselves into the highest places of power, till they constituted a majority in our national council, and by one fatal stroke, destroyed in a moment, the labours of an age. Let fancy here depict, what the pen cannot
paint. A subjugation to British power would inevitably ensue, tyranny would rivet her brazen fetters on us, and despotism with all her direful train of ills, would make our children, and their youngest children, execrate the hour that gave these enemies of our peace, permission to tread on freedom's hallowed ground. What tribute then ye highly favored sons of liberty, is due to those virtuous magistrates, who like watchmen on the towers, are guarding your repose, by repulsing the approaches of your enemies? The altars of posterity shall smoke with oblations to their memory, and the temples of freedom resound with their praises forever.
MARCUS.
By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled, May 26, 1783.
ON motion, Resolved , That the Commander in Chief be instructed to grant furloughs to the non-commissioned officers and soldiers in the service of the United States, enlisted to serve during the war, who shall be discharged as soon as the definitive treaty of peace is concluded, together with a proportionable number of commissioned officers of the different Brigades: and that the Secretary at War and Commander in Chief take the proper measures for conducting those troops to their respective homes, in such manner as may be most convenient to themselves and to the states through which they may pass; and that the men thus furloughed be allowed to take their arms with them.
CHARLES THOMSON, Secretary. Upon the promulgation of this resolution, the subsequent Address was presented to the Commander in Chief, by the officers of the army.
S I R,
IT is difficult for us to express the regret we feel at being obliged again to solicit your Excellency's attention and patronage. Next to the anguish which the prospect of our own wretchedness excites in our breasts, is the pain which arises from a knowledge of your anxiety on account of those men who have been the sharers of your fortunes, and have had the honor of being your companions through the various vicissitudes of the war. Nothing, therefore, but necessity could induce us to a representation which we know must give you concern.
Your Excellency has so intimate a knowledge of the condition of the army, as to render a particular delineation unnecessary. As you have been a witness of our sufferings during a war uncommon in its nature, and unparalleled in many circumstances attending it, so you are now, Sir, no less a witness of the unequal burthen which has fallen upon us, from the want of that provision, to which, from our assiduous and unremitting services, we conceive, we are entitled. Having recently expressed our sense of what was due to our distress—having repeated from your Excellency the confidence we had, that our accounts would be liquidated, the balances ascertained, and adequate funds provided for payment, previous to our being dispersed or disbanded—having seen with pleasure, the approbation which Congress gave our reliance—it is with a mixture of astonishment and chagrin, that we view the late resolve of Congress, by which the soldiers for the war, and a proportionate number of officers,
are to be furloughed, without any one of those important objects being accomplished; and, to complete the scene of woe, are to be compelled to leave the army without the means of defraying the debts we have necessarily incurred in the course of service, or even of gratifying those menials, in the pittance which is their due; much less, to carry with us that support and comfort to our families of which from our long military services, they have been deprived. No less exposed, then, to the insults of the meanest followers of the army than to the arrests of the Sheriff; deprived of the ability to assist our families; without an evidence that any thing is due to us for our services, and consequently, without the least prospect of obtaining credit for even a temporary subsistence until we can get into business—to what quarter can we look? We take the liberty to say, Sir, only to your Excellency—And, from the sincerity of our hearts, we do it, no less from a persuasion of the efficiency of your further efforts in our favour, than from the kind assurances you have been pleased to give us of your support.
To your Excellency then we make our appeal, and in the most solemn manner, from that abhorrence of oppression and injustice which first unsheathed our swords; from the remembrance of the common dangers thro' which we have passed; and from the recollection of those astonishing events which have been effected by our united efforts, permit us to solicit your further aid; and to entreat, that the order of the 2d instant, founded on the act of Congress of the 26th of May last, may be suspended, or varied in its operation, so far as that no officer or soldier be obliged to receive a furlough, until that honorable body can be apprised of the wretched situation into which the army must be plunged, by a conformity to it; that your Excellency will endeavour to prevail on Congress—nay, that, on the principles of common justice, you will insist that neither officer nor soldier be compelled to leave the field, until a liquidation of accounts can be effected, until the balances are ascertained, certificates for the sums due given, including the commutation of half pay to the officers, and the gratuity of eighty dollars to the soldiers, and until a supply of money can be furnished sufficient to carry us from the field of glory, with honor to ourselves and credit to our country. We still wish to believe that country, to which we have so long devoted, will never look with indifference on the distresses of those of her sons, who have so essentially contributed to the establishment of freedom, the security of property, and the rearing of an empire.
In the name and behalf of the Generals and officers commanding regiments and corps in the cantonments on Hudson's river, I have the honor to be, with the highest respect, your Excellency's most obedient servant.

CONSTANTINOPLE, (Turkey in Europe)
April 3, 1783.
One part of our fleet is to sail for the Black Sea, and the other for the Archipelago; the enlisting troops and sailors goes on still at Smyrna and Salonica. We embark here every day a quantity of stores and artillery for the Black Sea, where 180 pieces of cannon have been lately sent.
From the Frontiers of Poland, April 16. The Russian troops are said to be already in march towards the frontiers of Turkey; and that their quarters were to be established yesterday at Bedeczew.
PETERSBURGH, (Russia) April 20.
The Porte have got together on the frontiers about 50,000 men, ready to march on the first notice. Some politicians pretend, that the Divan have made use of finess in protracting affairs, with a view to gain time for making warlike preparations.
We learn from Cherson, that three men of war have lately been launched there, which will be followed by nine more now on the stocks. There are ten frigates at Azoff, and thirteen more are cruising in the Black Sea. From these considerable movements of the Russians, together with the preparations of the Emperor, it is presumed that the flames of war will soon break out.
LISBON (Portugal) April 20.
An American of distinction, who has been some time here incog. was admitted, a few days ago, to an audience with the Queen, and had a long conference with her Majesty. We are assured that the articles of the treaty of commerce, which is on the tapis between our Court and the United States, are nearly agreed on, and will be definitively concluded, on the arrival of a commissary from the Congress, who is hourly expected here.
LEGHORN, (Italy) April 25.
It is strongly reported, that a Russian squadron of 12 ships of the line and 6 frigates, has already passed the Sound, to come and join that which is here, in order to sail immediately for the Levant; which makes it presumed, that the war against the Turks is on the point of being declared, and that the two Imperial Courts of Europe are seriously bent on delivering the five provinces of Greece from the Ottoman yoke.
FRANKFORT, (Germany) May 8.
All the reports from the frontiers of Turkey confirm the great preparations of war making on the part of the Porte. Besides the repairs of the old fortresses of Belgrade new works are erecting. The letters from Scutari advise, that in conformity to a Firman of the Grand Signior, they are fortifying all the places in Bosnia, and particularly Banjaluka.
L O N D O N.
May 20. A private letter from the Hague says, that a letter from Madrid brings advice, that it was expected the Duke de Crillon would be sent to America to settle a plan with Congress for carrying on a trade, and to make a permanent peace with them, which will induce the Americans to lay aside all thoughts of making any attempts on the Spanish settlements in South America.
The war about to be commenced between Russia and the Porte may be attributed principally to Count Panin, the late Minister of the Foreign Department. The annihilation of the Turk empire was a favorite object with Count Panin, to the prosecution to which he was not a little impelled by a certain taste of religious enthusiasm, which complexioned his mind.
PHILADELPHIA, July 9.
Since our last, about 1500 Continental troops, with a detachment of artillery, under the command of Gen. Robert Howe, arrived in this city from West-Point. They are chiefly three years men, from Massachusetts, whose terms have not yet expired.
We are wholly at a loss how to account for so extraordinary a manoeuvre, as no foreign enemy is in this part of the country.
Extract of a letter from New York, June 25.
No more attention will be paid to the late orders than to the former. I am pretty confident the British will not leave this city till late in the fall, for it is certain no orders have as yet been received for that purpose. It has been said that all the foreign troops were to embark, but it now proves to be only three or four particular regiments.
CHATHAM, (New Jersey) July 2.
Monday morning three men were found dead in the streets of New York scarce a night elapsed without the morning exhibition of scenes of this nature.
The legislature of this state, at their last sitting, made a donation to Congress of 30,000. and twenty square miles of land in any part of the state they may choose.
BOSTON, July 24.
A Brig from Ireland, with 150 passengers, is arrived at Philadelphia.
S A L E M, July 24.
Congress previous to their leaving Philadelphia, resolved, That the Secretary at War be directed to communicate to the Commander in Chief the state and disposition of the revolted troops, in order that he might take immediate measures to dispatch to that city such force as he might judge expedient for suppressing any disturbances that might ensue.
To the Author of a petition in the NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE of the 19th inst. signed FORLORN HOPE.
SIR, IT is a melancholly truth that there are many deserving officers and soldiers of the New Hampshire line, who have every claim to the public attention, and who, by the embarrassed state of our finances, are experiencing the greatest distress. But when an individual, who never has had the honor of being either an officer or soldier, undertakes to address a public body in the character of one of those meritorious persons, & under that character, attempts to point out a mode of relief, which can exist only in imaginations, he must render himself contemptible in the eyes of all mankind. You pretend to have been an officer of the New Hampshire line, your military exploits commenced at Bunker's-Hill; your prowess was conspicuous at the battles of Brandywine and Germantown; the wounds you received at Monmouth witness your services, and the fatigues and dangers you passed through at Wyoming, testify to your sufferings. Peace having been concluded, you received the plaudits of your illustrious chief, and are now returned in a forlorn condition to your family and friends. But it may not be amiss to enquire whether the state of your mind is not in a more forlorn situation than your present circumstances in life? for it seems that your eight tedious campaigns, have either deprived you of your memory, or robbed you of the faculty of speaking truth. What military prowess you displayed at Bunker's-Hill, I am unable to determine; but cannot conceive how you merited the thanks of your commander in chief, for the feats you performed at Brandywine and Germantown, there not being an officer or soldier of the New Hampshire line nearer than Saratoga, which is at least two hundred miles distant from either of the before mentioned places; as you are so egregiously mistaken in those instances, it is not improbable that the pain you endured by the wounds supposed to have been received at Monmouth, was only the effect of the cannon fever, which seized you at the commencement of the war, and prevented your knowing any thing of the battles which have been fought, or the troops which were engaged.
You have undoubtedly heard of Wyoming, but unfortunately have been led to suppose that the sufferings of the western army, which took place near two hundred miles distant from it, happened at that village, where the troops had no want of provision, or fatigues or dangers to encounter.
And now Sir, to recompence you for fatigues, which you never experienced; to reward you for battles, which you never fought, and to heal the wounds which you never received, you call upon the Committee of Safety to sell the lands belonging to absentees, which you foolishly imagine will yield an ample supply, not only to yourself, but to all the officers and soldiers belonging to the state, here you discover yourself as ignorant of the proper means of relief, as you are of the time and place of your winning the laurels which you brought from the field.
It would not have been amiss for you to have read and considered the preliminary articles of peace, prior to preferring your groundless petition, and then to have ascertained with certainty, how many of the absentees from this state, have had courage to draw the
sword and face a gentleman of your military prowess in the field of battle.
The late Governor Wentworth, Colonel Holland and Capt. William Stark, are said to have entered into the British service; the estates of the two former have long since been sold, and the latter with all other absentees from this state, who have appeared in arms, have not left property sufficient to defray the expence of prosecutions.
It requires no uncommon share of sagacity, to discover that appropriating and making sale of estates belonging to absentees of any other description, would only serve to line the pockets of some artful Trustees, and render the inhabitants of this state, liable to be taxed for refunding money injudiciously thrown away.
I must therefore beg leave to consider you as a forlorn, wretched politician, uncommonly fond of forlorn, desperate measures, and as a forlorn, despicable, lying impostor.

WHEREAS on or about the 10th of April 1783, one L. John Gile, of Nottingham, appeared at my house in Warner, and demanded of me twenty-five dollars, without having any just demand upon me to the value of one shilling, he said he had the offer of twenty-five men to come with him, and if I refused, paying him the said sum, when he returned they would immediately pay me a visit; and out of fear that he would return with his associates, as he told me that he would, and ruin me in body or estate, in that distress of mind, I signed a note of hand, to the amount of twenty-five dollars, and gave the same to the said L. John Gile, in order to get rid of him, immediately upon making the above fact known to my friends and neighbours, and the authority of the county to which I belong to, they warmly resented the matter, and told me to publish the same immediately. I therefore caution all persons from purchasing said note of hand, as I am determined not to pay the same, unless compelled to by law, said note being obtained by fraud.
ALL persons are cautioned against harbouring, or trusting Sarah Morrill, wife of me the subscriber, as she has eloped from my bed and board, and refuses to cohabit with me her lawful husband; as I am determined not to pay any debt she may contract after the date hereof, unless compelled to by law.
