L O N D O N, March 5.
ON Monday next some decisive measure will be taken by the commons. They will procrastinate and conciliate no more—If they do, they will forfeit the high character which they have acquired in the country, and to which history will do justice. It is better that the parliament should be dissolved—fifty times better—that we should suffer all the tumults and inconveniences of such a dissolution, than that things should go on as they are.
March 3. It is said to be the intention of Mr. Fox & his friends to move this day a resolution on the King's answer, expressing their sense of its tendency, and asserting in many terms the privileges of the House. This resolution will also be laid on the king's table—and here they will stop. Having demonstrated their power, they will now show their moderation.
To such a height has the spirit of party risen, that on Friday evening his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales was distinctly and loudly hissed by the audience of Drury-lane, in retiring from his box. Their Majesties were most vociferously applauded, even so much that tears trickled down the cheeks of the Queen.
Mr. Pitt says, let the House of Commons triumph, and the sceptre is to be laid below the mace. Mr. Powys says, let the Minister triumph and the mace is to be laid below the sceptre. Is this really the question? Are we called upon to choose which of these extremities we would prefer? God forbid! But if the constitution must be extinguished, the genius of the land must be consulted, to know whether we shall degenerate into a Republic or a Monarchy.
England was, in the year 1762, what Rome was in her height of glory. We had then attained to a very high pitch of conquest and grandeur. Only consider the extent of our dominions at that period, the power of our arms, the bravery and reputation of our Admirals and Generals, the greatness of our commerce and revenues, and the numbers, wealth, learning, and politeness of the inhabitants. But now, alas! what an alteration! America is independent! the state distempered with factions and corruptions! Feuds and jealousies prevail! and, like Rome, our fall is to be feared, unless the fate of other empires be as into mistake, and those national causes which have ever proved fatal, are fatal no more!
March 11. An Irish gentleman in high debate with a citizen, strongly reproaching the Minister for keeping in office in defiance of twelve majorities of the House of Commons; the latter defending the Minister's conduct, as having the sense of the people with him, "By J—," exclaimed the Hibernian, "it is only the sense of those that are out of their senses."
The Emperor of Morocco declared war against France on the 24th of January last, and his vessels have taken several French ships from Marseilles, and others from the Levant.
A M S T E R D A M, March 4.
A letter from the Dutch Consul, Mr. Blount, dated January 3. announces that the Emperor of Morocco had assembled all his Captains together, and informed them that he intended to declare war against some power. The same letters add, that according to the general report, this declaration was against France, and expected shortly to be declared in public.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, April 1.
The London Public Advertiser of the 12th of January gives an account of the attack of the French advanced posts, lines and redoubts before Cuddalore, the 13th of June, 1783, by the British and East India Company's troops, under the command of Major General Stuart, in which they carried the whole of them, with 16 pieces of artillery mounted thereon, and the loss in Europeans, killed and wounded, according to the prisoners report, is 42 officers and 600 men; that of the British and Company's troops amount to 962 killed, wounded, and missing, among whom were 51 officers.
Another letter to the select Committee at Madras, also gives the particulars of the repulse of the French, in their attack on the retrenchments, on the morning of the 25th of June, 1783, camp south of Cuddalore, in which their commanding officer, Chevalier de Damas, Colonel (Maitre de Camp) of the regiment of Aquitaine, was taken prisoner; likewise a Captain and Lieutenant; a Major, Captain and two Subalterns were killed, with about 150 taken prisoners. The killed and wounded is not known. The loss of the British and Company's troops is 9 officers, and about 44 rank and file, killed & wounded.
The 12th of January last the Commons formed a Committee of the whole House which commenced at two in the afternoon, and continued until between seven and eight
the next morning; the following resolutions were the principal subjects of debate, viz.
Mr. Fox moved, "That it is the opinion of this Committee, that for any person or persons in his Majesty's treasury, or in the exchequer, or in the bank of England, employed in the payment of public money, to pay or direct, or cause to be paid, any sum or sums of money, for or towards the support of services voted in this present session of Parliament that Parliament shall have been prorogued or dissolved, before any act of Parliament shall have passed, appropriating the supplies to such services, will be a high crime and misdemeanour, a daring breach of the public trust, derogatory to the fundamental principles of Parliament, and subversive of the constitution of this country."—Ably supported by Sir Grey Cooper and Lord North, and carried without a division.
The Earl of Surrey moved, "That it is the opinion of the Committee, that in the present situation of his Majesty's dominions, it is highly necessary that such administration should be formed, as possessed both the confidence of that House and the public."—Carried.
The Earl of Surrey also moved, "That it is the opinion of the Committee, that the late changes were preceded by extraordinary rumours, dangerous to the constitution, inasmuch as the sacred name of Majesty had been unconstitutionally used for the purpose of affecting the deliberation of Parliament, and the appointments that followed were accompanied by circumstances new and extraordinary, and such as were evidently calculated not to conciliate the affections of that House."—Carried.
Majority against the Minister, 54.
On the 16th of January, Charles Fox obtained another victory over Mr. Pitt. The House of Commons on that day resolved, that his Majesty's Ministers neither had, nor ought to have the confidence of the public. —Another change had taken place in the Ministry. The British Parliament was expected to be dissolved. And nothing decisive was done upon the affairs of the East-India Company.
S P R I N G F I E L D, April 6.
It is said, by persons who have taken pains to ascertain the number of emigrants, from other States to Vermont, that two thousand families have removed to that State within these last twelve months.
B O S T O N, April 16.
Several villains were last Saturday apprehended and committed to jail, for uttering counterfeit dollars in this town—The dollars are of the old stamp, and dated 1768. They are well imitated; but the sound will easily denote them base metal.
We hear the week before last there were great disturbances at New York between the Whigs and Tories; and that his Excellency Governor Clinton was obliged to act in person, to quell them. The particulars are not yet come to hand.
It is reported that Bermuda is made a free port; but we have had no confirmation of such an event taking place.
By the British prints it appears, that the definitive treaty of peace had been signed by the Ministers of the Court of Russia and the Ottoman Porte, on the 8th of Jan. by which happy circumstance the effusion of much human blood will be prevented.
A gentleman from the Northward informs, that it is surprising to see with what rapidity the new towns on our Western frontiers settle. Above three thousand families he says, have emigrated there within six months.
S A L E M, April 16.
On the 27th ult. arrived at Philadelphia, on board the ship Queen of France, the pictures of their Most Christian Majesties, the King and Queen. They are in full length. The King in garments like those he wore on the day of his coronation. The royal throne is on his left side, decorated with the attributes of justice, as marks of the disposition of our great Ally; he holds the ancient sceptre of France in his hand, and the crown with the hand of justice lie on a cushion on the right. This is said by the connoisseurs to be a masterly piece of the art of painting.
The Queen is dressed in a royal mantle spread with fleurs de lis, and a gown of satin trimmed with golden fringes and tassels. On a table lies her crown next to a vase filled with flowers. The table is covered with red velvet, embroidered with the imperial eagle of her family.
Each picture is about thirteen feet six inches high, including the frames.

L O N D O N, Dec. 15. According to letters from Gibraltar, the Algerines apprehensive of a very rigorous attack from the Spaniards in the spring, which they expect will be commenced very early, as operations are making at Malaga and Barcelona, where they are building several large fire prames, for the purpose of setting fire to the shipping in the harbour of Algiers. The Dey has, however, taken into his pay a number of European engineers, who are now employed in a complete survey of the castle and fortifications, and are pointing out some places where there is a probability of the enemy's landing to attack the city with a military force, which it is expected the Spaniards have in contemplation: These are to be defended by batteries. The Dey, it appears, has also engaged the Emperor of Morocco and Bey of Tunis in his quarrel, so that the Court of Madrid are likely to be engaged in a war with all the Barbary powers.
Dec. 24. The speech of Mr. Beauchamp Bagnal, in the delegates of the Irish volunteers, which was generally approved in that assembly, has struck administration there with amazement, and was the principal cause of Mr. Pelham's sudden visit to this country. In the speech, Mr. Bagnal said it was his duty to declare, that in cases of absolute necessity, when the representatives of the people persevered in acting against the general sense of their constituents, though every lenient measure should be previously adopted, yet arms were the constitutional remedy. The whole assembly, of which Mr. Flood was present, cried out "hear him, hear him!" and Mr. Bagnal concluded with observing, "that it would be ridiculous and unenlightened, on the part of the people of Ireland, to hold forth any doctrine, but what was consistent with their real sentiments; they had armed in the cause of freedom, they were determined in pursuing, and perfecting that cause, or to perish in the attempt." In the course of the debate on the East-India bill, agitated in the Upper House of the British Parliament, on the 15th of December, Lord Abingdon, in the close of his speech, in his Lordships proposed motion for summoning and calling in the advice of the Judges, respecting "the vesting the affairs of the East-India Company in the hands of certain Directors," said, "And now, my Lords, these being the queries which it is my intention to submit to the opinion of the judges, together with my reasons for these queries, I now beg leave to add one reason more for the motion itself, of calling for the advice of the judges upon this occasion; and it is this, that, as if the opinion of the judges had been taken upon the question of the American war before it had been entered into, that is, whether the Parliament of England had a right to levy taxes internally on America, America not being represented in the Parliament of England, that country might at this time have been a part of the British empire; so upon the same ground am I persuaded, that the putting of these questions to the judges now, may be the means of saving the East-Indies, to this country: For, my Lords, is it to be supposed, that the servants of the East-India Company in India, connected as they are in the interest with the Company here, together with Mr. Hastings, at the head of an hundred thousand men there, will quietly deliver up those possessions, when by the delivery they know that they are themselves to be displaced, to make room for others; and if not displaced, that they will have Members of Parliament, and Members of Parliament's sons, and kindred riding upon them four and five deep, & quartered upon their emoluments, as much without number, as without reason." A certain young gentleman has given orders for a pair of buckles, which are to cost 500l. sterling. The workmanship is so exquisite, that none of our jewellers are tho' adequate for the purpose. Two foreign jewellers are employed, who have interpreters each. The interpreters have 18 shillings a week, during a continuance of this important and necessary business.

PORTSMOUTH, April 17. The Authority of this State have appointed Thursday the Twenty-second of this instant April, to be observed as a day of Humiliation Fasting and Prayer, throughout the same. Wednesday last arrived at Boston, the ship Active, Capt. Lyde, in 29 days from London--he brings papers to the 11th March, which contain matters of little consequence to our readers, unless two spirited addresses of the British Parliament (of the 28th and 4th ult.) to their King, praying an immediate change of the Ministry, and his answers thereto, refusing a compliance, may be deemed as such--they are, however, too lengthy for this day's Gazette. Some paragraphs under the London head in the first page, will give the reader an idea of the factious situation of affairs, and that their boasted constitution seems tottering on the brink of annihilation.
