THE NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE, AND GENERAL ADVERTISER.
[Vol. XXVI.]
SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1782.
[No. 1334.]
Nero, calcet jacentem vulgus, Seneca, invisum opprimat. T HE honorable members of our General Assembly may with great propriety be stiled the CONSCRIPT FATHERS of the people, the PROTECTORS of their properties, the GUARDIANS of their sacred rights and privileges, and lastly, the WATCHMEN of the whole state; ne quid detrimenti respublica capiat. Least the Commonwealth should take any damage.
When any gentleman is called by the suffrages of his fellow-citizens to represent them in the Senate, and he accepts the important trust, his whole attention should be paid, and all the faculties of his mind ought to be exerted to discharge his duty; and the only contention of the whole political body should be, who should do most to save his Country. If ever an American PITT was wanted, it is at this very era of time, when our enemies by a most refin'd stroke of policy have changed their administration of men, and adopting new measures of procedure in the war department. But let me ask this question—Have they discovered the least inclination to stop the ravages of war? No; but on the contrary, we hear, that war against our Allies was the first step to be taken by the New Administrators, as if they had not legally and effectually done it before. They have sent the olive branch to America, TO MAKE A TRUCE : But have they declared us INDEPENDENT ? Divide et impera , is at the bottom of their designs. They have agreed not to prosecute the American war any longer; but not out of compassion, or forbearance to shed human blood. The reason given are, because it is impracticable to reduce us by force ; but still they determine to keep a good hold on us, that after they have bent their whole strength against our most generous Ally, and have brought him to their terms, as they proudly and vainly imagine they can do it, then America may fall an easy prey to their unbounded thirst of power. They mean to level their whole strength against the navy of France; and if they can effect its destruction, so that they cannot relieve or support us, then they still more vainly expect to conquer America, and reduce her to an unconditional submission. We shall soon hear what they propose, but I fear they are only adding insult to impotency, and seek to lull us into a fatal security; that while they have secured several strong fortresses, well garrisoned, they may withdraw thousands of their troops if they could obtain a TRUCE with us. This word TRUCE is a double headed monster: it is only to cease hostilities while they can act with more vigour against France— PEACE they do not desire with us, unless we renounce our independence. This I apprehend to be the amount of the present bustle and noise of the change of the British administration; it is only a dispute between the in's and out's, the Rockingham and Butean parties, and America is made the political tool by which the one strives to oust the other out of place. Upon this new change let me draw the attention of the political fathers of this State. Is it not said that dispatches are brought over by Sir Guy Carleton and sent to Congress by his secretary from the King of Great-Britain? as I suppose, (for if they come from any other authority,
I hope they will not even be opened;)—and here let me ask a most important question—Will this State have a voice on this interesting occasion? Is there not a resolve of Congress that no State shall have a vote on any occasion unless such State shall have two members at least, resident in Congress? Have we had a vote in Congress for eighteen months past? and even when on a late occasion a new proportion was made, this State was assessed 20,000 inhabitants more than on the former assessment; and the reasons given on the debates, were, that we filled our battalions with great ease, while some States had not half their's in the field; and even on this trying occasion, we had no voice, not even the liberty of dissenting. From whence arises this seeming neglect of our sacred right, this supine contempt of our greatest privilege? Is it not because we cannot maintain even one there without some mortifying circumstances of our poverty? From whence then is to come the enormous supply bill of one hundred and twenty thousand pounds in silver and gold, when there is not a twentieth part of the money in the State? We are distressed to raise one thousand pounds for the use of the most important blessing we enjoy, viz. that of being represented in Congress; and yet we are called upon for one hundred and twenty times the sum for the use of that very Congress, to be disposed of without our consent! This is taxation without representation in its true sense; and if a remedy is not soon applied, we are undone, absolutely so. The requisition cannot be complied with without sacrificing the property of every individual in the State. Let us take a view of the operation of this requisition.
The legislative body, to show their readiness of complying with the requisition of Congress, grant the supply and leave it with the people to collect. The laws of the State work their part—assessments are made—collectors appointed, and limited times set, as when money was as plenty as dirt; and unless the taxes are paid at such times, lands are advertised for sale, and sold frequently at a fiftieth part of their value, and but three months allowed for redemption!—The Massachusetts and other States allow three years for redemption paying 18 per cent. interest on the purchase. The impositions practised by collectors are too well known, and will hereafter find employment for the faculty, which will be distressing to many.
Thus we see the operation of the requisition; and our exertions to fill and maintain our battalions, are rewarded with oppression and the loss of our estates; but how to redress this distressing grievance, hic labor hoc opus est . For this purpose some further reflections on this matter may be the subject of another speculation.

W HEREAS the several towns and places hereafter named, viz. Tuftonborough, Sheburn, Cockburn, Proctorworth, Dartmouth, Morristown, Coleburn, New-Bradford, and Coventry, within the State aforesaid, in and by an Act of the General Court of said State, lately passed, had set to them the following sums as their proportion of a State Tax, and for deficiencies on a Beef Tax for the year 1781, viz.

HAGUE, March 7.
The States of Friesland have come to the following resolution, and have sent it by their deputies to the assembly of their High-Mightinesses:
"The demand of Mr. Adams having been carried to the assembly for delivering his credential letters from the United States of North America to their High-Mightinesses, as also the ulterior address for the like purpose, praying a categorical answer by the same, and more amply mentioned in the notes of their High-Mightinesses of the 4th of May, 1781, and of the 9th of Jan. 1782; upon which it having been taken into consideration that the said Mr. Adams had probably some propositions to make to their High-Mightinesses, and to lay before them the principal articles and fundamentals on which the Congress on their part are willing to enter into a treaty of commerce and friendship, or other affairs to propose, with regard to which dispatch is requisite.
"It hath been thought proper to authorize the Deputies of the province to the generality, and to charge them to manage the matters at the Board of their High-Mightinesses in such a manner that the said Mr. Adams be admitted, as soon as possible, as Minister from the Congress of North America, with further order to the said Deputies; that if any other propositions be made by the same, to inform their High-Mightinesses of it as soon as possible. And an extract of this present shall be sent for their information, and to conduct themselves accordingly.
"So resolved at the State House, the 26th of February, 1782.
(Signed) A. J. V. SMINTA.
Which having been deliberated upon, the deputies of the provinces of Guelders, Zealand, Utrecht, and Groningen, have taken a copy of this resolution to be communicated more amply to the respective provinces.
March 9. The States of Friesland have ordered their Representatives at the assembly of the States General, to declare, that it was proper to acknowledge Mr. Adams as Minister Plenipotentiary of the Thirteen United and Independent States of America; a declaration which has been put on the table of their High-Mightinesses, and which the Deputies of Guelders, Zealand, and Utrecht, immediately sent copies of their principals. Nevertheless, their High-Mightinesses have resolved, that a negotiation for peace should be entered into with the ministers of Russia.
PHILADELPHIA, May 8.
The following is said to be a genuine copy of the letter from his Excellency Gen. Washington to Sir Henry Clinton, on the subject of the murder of Capt. Huddy.
SIR, Head-Quarters, April 21, 1781.
The inclosed representation from the inhabitants of the county of Monmouth, with testimonials to the fact (which can be corroborated by other unquestionable evidence) will bring before your Excellency the most wanton, cruel, and unprecedented murder
that ever disgraced the arms of a civilized people. I shall not, because I conceive it altogether unnecessary, trouble your Excellency with any animadversions on this transaction. Candor obliges me to be explicit:—To save the innocent I demand the guilty.
Capt. Lippencott therefore, or the officer who commanded at the execution of Capt. Huddy, must be given up; or if that officer was of inferior rank to him, so many of the perpetrators as will, according to the tariff of exchange, be an equivalent. To do this will mark the justice of your Excellency's character. In failure of it, I shall hold myself justified in the eyes of God and man, for the measures to which I shall resort.
I beg your Excellency to be persuaded, that it cannot be more disagreeable to you to be addressed in this language, than it is to me to offer it; but the subject requires frankness and decision.
I have to request your speedy determination, as my resolution is suspended but for your answer.
I have the honor to be, &c.
We hear that Sir Henry Clinton has sent out to his Excellency Gen. Washington, the principal perpetrators of the murder of Capt. Huddy, viz. Lippencott, Tilton, and a third, whose name is not mentioned.
C H A T H A M, May 8.
Sir Henry Clinton and Gen. Knyphausen sails this week, in the Pearl frigate for Europe.
Last week Sir Henry Clinton, in general orders, suspended all hostilities on the part of the British. They are to act only on the defensive. It is reported that all their cruizers are called in, and that a number of vessels they have lately taken will be restored to their former owners.

The ROYAL GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.
N E W - Y O R K, May 12, 1782
Published by James Rivington, Printer to the King. A true copy of Admiral Rodney's letter to his agent, Mr.
Carr, at Antigua, dated April 18, 1782.
"THE French fleet, after an action that lasted from 7 in the morning till sun set, on the 12th of April, 1782, met with a total defeat.
"The Ville de Paris, with four other ships taken, and the Diadem sunk, graced the victory, and their whole fleet so extremely shattered, that had there been but two hours more day-light, more than half would have been taken.
"230 British killed, 759 wounded.
"I would have compounded for 3000 at least; the French must have lost many more than 5000. Their whole army was on board.
"Le Ville de Paris, 110 guns; Le Glorieux, 74; Le Cæsar, 74; Le Hector, 74; Ardent, 74, taken; Le Diedem, 74, sunk."
The Admiral adds, he the next day had repaired his rigging, and was proceeding down to visit Don Salano, the Spanish Admiral.
FROM THE ANTIGUA GAZETTE.
It is not in language to express the heartfelt joy with which we communicate to our loyal countrymen, the contents of a letter received by the Editor, just as this paper was going to press; they happily render useless a paragraph which had been composed on the subject of the reports of the last two or three days—but let us not detain our readers any longer from the perusal of the glad tidings:
St. John's, Antigua, April 16, 1782.
I AM happy in acquainting you that Admiral Rodney has gained a complete victory over the French fleet, consisting of 32 sail of the line; the Ville de Paris, of 110 guns, on board of which is Monsr. de Grasse, is amongst the number taken; he was the two first days after his capture, with Sir Geo. but by his own request is now on board his former ship; she had 470 killed and wounded. I have been on board her, she is larger than any of our 3 deckers in the fleet, carries 42 pounders on her lower deck, 24's on her middle, and 18's on her upper deck, the Ardent of 64 is also taken, as are likewise the Hector and Glorieux, of 74 guns each. The Cæsar of 74, after being taken, was set on fire by accident; and there was a ship sunk in the action, supposed to be the Zodiaque or
the Diadem. It was in fact a noble action; it begun at 8 A. M. on the 12th inst. and was not over till 6 P. M. There were 27 chests of money on board the Admiral de Grasse.
They were bound to join the Spaniards, and attack Jamaica, whither I presume our fleet will go. Our fleet have repaired their damages, which were chiefly in their rigging, and we have not half the killed and wounded in our whole fleet, as there was on board the Ville de Paris.
Yesterday the Andromache frigate sailed for England. There were two actions, one on the 9th, wherein Capt. Baine, of the Alfred, was killed; and in the victorious one, on the 12th, Capt. Blair, of the Anson, was killed; Lord Robert Manners lost his leg and broke his arm and Capt. Savage, of the Hercules, has a wound on his foot, and his jaw locked. There were 400 souls on board the Cæsar when she blew up.—Lord Robert is gone to England.
N. B. The Ville de Paris had on board 1300 men, and struck to Admiral Hood, in the Barfleur. Each of the other ships had 150 soldiers on board. The Cæsar blew up after striking to the Centaur, and had also 150 soldiers on board.
His Majesty's frigate Santa Monica, commanded by Capt. John Linzee, was lost about the 28th or 29th of last month, upon a sunken rock, near the Island of Tortola, which had been entirely unknown till that unfortunate event. Her whole crew, excepting only one man, together with all her guns, and a great parcel of tackle, apparel, furniture and stores, were saved.
A true Translation of a Hand Bill lately received from Amsterdam.
Extraordinary News, tending towards the Independence of America, declared by the States of Holland.
Gentlemen,
IT is about 25 years that I have acted as an Attorney, and was never trusted with business of such importance as I am at present with this of America: I can assure you that I never was happier than I am now in congratulating you, and the whole nation, with the resolution taken by the General States of Holland this day—they have charged their deputies in generality to declare in their names (and help bring to effect) that Mr. Adams may be known and received as Minister of the Congress of North-America; and they have charged their Raad Pensionary to acquaint Mr. Adams of this resolve in a secret manner.
I congratulate you and the whole body of merchants with so agreeable prospect of affairs, which I hope and trust will soon exceed our most sanguine wishes. The eighteen towns have unanimously voted for his admission, and only the Prince was against it.—You will give me pleasure if you will inform all our friends of the news of this evening.
Translation of the Hand-Bill, printed in Amsterdam. A Declaration of INDEPENDENCE from the UNITED STATES of HOLLAND to the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, Done at the Hague the Twenty eighth of March, 1782.
WE the United States of HOLLAND, have these Twenty-five Years past seen the Iniquity of the British Administration to the American Colonies, and finding ourselves in gratitude to the calls of Religion, Freedom and Virtue, obliged to consent to defend the Freedom of AMERICA, and grant them their INDEPENDENCE, from the Twenty-eighth of March 1782 and are willing to aid and assist them in every thing they think necessary.
Done and settled with the Honorable JOHN ADAMS, Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America, to the United States of Holland.
A letter from a capital House in Amsterdam, of the 25th of March, says, "Things begin to have a much more pleasing aspect than they have had for a long time: Mr. Adams has bought a house at the Hague. The Province of Friesland have acceded to the resolution to admit his Excellency as Minister from the United States of America: Holland has done the same, and is expected the other provinces will follow: the principal of the different cities of Holland have presented petitions to accelerate that step."

Last week the Continental frigate Deane returned into port from a successful cruise. She bro't in with her a sloop of war of twenty 6 pounders, lately from Bermuda, bound on a cruise. The Deane has captured 2 privateer brigs of 16 guns each, which have also arrived safe.
S A L E M, May 23.
Last Thursday arrived in this harbour, in 36 days from France, a packet with dispatches for Congress, which were immediately sent on to Philadelphia. Reports are, that very great preparations were making in France, for a vigorous and decisive campaign; and that a vast body of troops were upon the sea coast of that kingdom, ready for embarkation.
Last week was sent into port, by the Languedoc privateer, Capt. Cook, of this port, a re-captured sloop, loaded with lumber.
A Gentleman at Boston has been so obliging as to forward us the following important piece of intelligence, which he transcribed from a London paper of the 6th of April, viz.
"In last Thursday's Council, the first of the new Administration, the expediency of the immediate removal of the chief part of the British army from the continent of North-America, was the only matter of importance debated, when the Cabinet came to the unanimous resolution of ordering the garrisons of New York and Charlestown to be evacuated, and the troops to be embarked for St. Lucia and Barbadoes, under convoy of the whole British fleet, which will be ordered to sail from the West-Indies for their protection, previous to the setting in of the hurricane season, towards the middle of the ensuing summer. The necessary transports are now provided for the above service. The garrisons of Halifax and Quebec are still to be held, and strongly reinforced."
Last Sunday morning was discovered on a beach in Beverly, a chest, containing a human body. It is supposed to be that of one of the prisoners, brought into Beverly some months since, and who died on board a ship in that harbour.
A light-ship called the Aurora, of about 200 tons burthen, from Halifax, was sent into port, a few days since, by the privateers Jack & Dispatch of this port.
A number of people, late belonging to a privateer sloop commanded by Capt. Dunn, of this port, arrived in town last week, and inform, that the sloop was captured, about a fortnight since, by the Buckram privateer of Halifax; but that the men got on shore and made their escape.
The Blond frigate, which captured the mast-ship mentioned above, was lately lost on Seal-Island.

PORTSMOUTH, May 25.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Mendes, merchant at Martinico, dated the 23d of April, to his son in this town.
"Our fleet commanded by Count de Grasse, have had three of the most bloody actions with Admiral Rodney; a great many men have been killed and wounded on both sides; we lost only one ship called the Glorieux, to which we were obliged to set fire after the last engagement; the British lost 5 ships burnt and sunk. This glorious event will be remembered as one of the most bloody actions that has been for many years. The actions were fought off Grande Ance, Dominica, the 9th, 10th, and 13th instant; after which, the French fleet proceeded to St. Domingo."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first distinction at Philadelphia, to his friend in this town.
"The establishment of the National Bank answers all the purposes expected from it, and even exceeds in success the most sanguine hopes, that had been formed by its warmest advocates. As the operation of the Bank becomes extended, the benefits of the institution will be felt to the extreme parts of the United States. Their notes acquire every day a greater extent of circulation, and they have obtained the most perfect confidence hereabouts. You say hard money is scarce in your State, and that it will be as difficult to pay your quota without money as it was of old to make brick without straw; sensible of this great truth, a foundation is laid to accommodate you by agreeing to receive the Continental taxes in Bank notes, or the Financier's notes. Now, Sir, if the citizens of New Hampshire, will sell their beef and other produce on reasonable terms, it will command either hard money or those notes; and your government should immediately order all tax gatherers to receive them in payment. Your oxen may be sold to the contractors, who undoubtedly will buy where they can buy cheapest; the notes remitted for the use of the America, will be taken back as your State's quota; of course, these very notes furnish the means of paying that tax, and are to all intents and purposes as good as hard money, especially as they always command hard money here on sight, and will be bought up by the receivers of Continental taxes in every State of the Union."
We hear from South-Carolina, that the British commander in Charlestown, having offered a large reward to take General Greene, two British undertook to do it, and having confederated with the General's Secretary, and others of his family, had nearly executed their hellish purpose, when the conspiracy was discovered, and the whole clan were immediately hung up as the just desert of such abandoned scoundrels.
