To the CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
ALTHOUGH your vigilance and firmness have hitherto been sufficient to withstand the efforts of British tyranny, and to guard against every machination of an artful, designing, and corrupt ministry; it may not at this time be deemed unpardonable to suggest some thoughts for your consideration. Perhaps at no period since the war, have you had so much reason to fear the power and the wiles of Britain, as at the present moment; even when there has been a total change in the ministry; the professed friends to America, placed at the head of affairs; and an act passed, empowering the British monarch to make a peace or a truce with the "Revolted Colonies."
It requires no uncommon share of sagacity, to discover that this act is the offspring of distress; and that the change in the British Administration, was a measure dictated by unavoidable necessity. The British papers inform us "that in this season of national disgrace and misfortune, it was the only measure to revive the public hope. The long succession of disasters which marked the measures of the departed ministry, had extinguished the confidence of the people—depressed the national spirit—cherished dissention, and relaxation of discipline in their fleets and armies, and weakened them by discord, at a time when unanimity was essential to their welfare, a change of men therefore became highly expedient; and that these were the true causes both for the act of parliament and the change in administration, will not admit of a doubt. The British monarch and his parliament, were not influenced by any favorable sentiments respecting America, but were compelled to adopt those as the only measures which might enable them to seduce America into a shameful and inglorious treaty; or in case of refusal, to prosecute the war against her with vigor, under ministers who have not (as yet) rendered themselves obnoxious to the people. From the dissensions among the people in power, from the want of discipline in the British fleets and armies, and from the want of confidence between the people and the late ministry, we had every reason to conclude that either the war against America would soon be terminated, and the independence of the United States acknowledged; or that all future efforts against us would be like the after droppings of a storm: But from the present arrangement, we have much to fear, and therefore we should reject every proposal which may tend to separate us from our allies. Perhaps there is not in the present ministry, a single person who would willingly agree to the independence of America. Their object, therefore, must either be to regain America by alluring offers, or to conquer it by arms. It is by no means improbable that America, if she will shamefully abandon her allies, whose blood and treasure have been so generously lavished for her, may at this moment have peace upon her own terms—perhaps her independence recognized, and the limits of her ter-
ritory extended even beyond what she has ever claimed; and this, perhaps, may induce many to urge an immediate accommodation, and to solicit your acceptance of a separate peace upon terms so apparently advantageous: But should you comply, will not France and Spain immediately declare war against America? and then you will discover that you have not only rendered America odious in the eyes of all Europe, but have changed your generous and powerful allies for one already exhausted by an unprovoked and cruel war waged against yourselves. But should the nations of Europe, which have afforded us so much assistance, leave us to enjoy in peace the advantages gained by a shameful and inglorious treaty, the war between Britain and those powers must soon terminate; and whether the former or the latter, are most successful, it will eventually be the same thing to us: a few years will enable Great-Britain to re-commence her pursuit of the object she has ever had in view, namely, the conquest of America. A pretext for renewing hostilities, will be no difficult task, and we shall be again called upon to contend for our independence; but where shall we look for assistance? Will Heaven favor a people guilty of the blackest ingratitude? Will France again lavish her blood and treasure for a people who shamefully abandon her in a war entered into on their account? Will a single power in Europe venture to form an alliance with a nation who violate their faith, and forfeit every pretension to national honor? However advantageous therefore the offers of Britain may appear, let them not be received, unless our allies are included in the treaty; for by forming a separate treaty, you lay a sure foundation for the perpetual thralldom of your country. The speech of Mr. Fox, who, perhaps, has always discovered a much greater disposition to quarrel with ministers, than to serve those States, is truly insulting; he says not a word of making peace but with America, and yet asserts that he knew a peace might be had immediately with America, and offered himself to be the negotiator thereof with those who were ready to treat with him upon the subject. Was not this accusing us of the deepest ingratitude, and the blackest perfidy? The act of parliament is equally insulting—not a word of treating with the Supreme Power of America, as such, but to treat with any assemblies, bodies, or descriptions of men, or any person or persons whatsoever, respecting a peace or truce with the said colonies or plantations, or any part or parts thereof. The act carefully avoids mentioning Congress, lest it should be construed into an acknowledgment of their power, while it evidently discovers a design to draw us into a treaty without the concurrence of our allies; and in case that plan should fail of success to divide the States, by offering them separately, those terms which the collective wisdom of the whole, may have refused. Congress have hitherto had wisdom to baffle the artful designs of Great-Britain—have maintained unspotted our national honor—and that they may still retain the same firmness, wisdom and integrity, is the prayer of
MILLIONS.
LONDON, March 1.
On Wednesday Mr. Laurens, the American Ambassador to the Hague, was at Lord Sandwich's at the Admiralty, and had a conference with his Lordship for upwards of two hours.
It is reported that Mr. Laurens, thro' the medium of Dr. Franklin, is vested with powers from the American Congress for treating of a separate peace with Great-Britain.
The following is the petition presented on Wednesday last by the sheriffs of the city of London, to the House of Commons.
To the Hon. the Commons of Great-Britain, in Parliament assembled.
The humble petition of the Lord Mayor, Alderman, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled.
Sheweth,
"That your petitioners, in the present state of public affairs, moved by every sentiment that can impress the human mind with regard for the common welfare of this kingdom and its dependencies, are impelled to implore this Honorable House to interpose in such manner as to their wisdom shall seem most effectual for preventing the continuance of the unfortunate war with America."
March 2. Yesterday the Members of the House of Commons, attended by their Speaker, waited on his Majesty at St. James's, to present their address, "most humbly representing to his Majesty, that the further prosecution of offensive war on the continent of North-America, for the purpose of reducing the revolted colonies to obedience by force, will be the means of weakening the efforts of this country against the European enemies; that it must tend under the present circumstances dangerously to increase the mutual enmity so fatal to the interests both of Great-Britain and America; and by preventing a happy reconciliation with that country, frustrate the earnest desire most graciously expressed by your Majesty, to restore the blessings of public tranquility." [The answer was in No. 1333.]
FISH-KILL, May 16.
Extract of a letter of the 6th Instant:
"I have with great attention read the New-York news-papers, from the first to the 4th inclusive; and after all the reports I have heard since the arrival of the Duke of Cumberland packet, I was much disappointed not to find any one resolve in favour of the independency of North America: on the contrary, every attempt to obtain any resolve declaratory of it, has been in vain, and rendered futile by a majority of 29 against it.
"You may depend upon it, the whole of this talk of their being willing to acknowledge our independence, is a political manœuvre; a tub thrown out of the whale to amuse North-America, while the British send the whole of the force they can spare to secure their remaining islands in the West-Indies, till the autumnal equinox approaches; and then you will find part of that force will join the forces in North-America, and then they will take off the mask; unless by vigorous exertions we extirpate them from the continent before that period arrives."
BANKS of different sorts, may be had at the Printing-Offices in Portsmouth and Exeter.

L O N D O N,
March 5. By a letter from Vienna, dated the 7th of February, we learn the following very important information: That on the morning of the 2d ult. at ten o'clock war had been declared in that capital against the Turks, and that every thing was in motion. These advices further add, that Russia was expected to proclaim hostilities against the Ottomans soon after the arrival of a courier, who had set out in the afternoon of the 3d from Vienna to the court of Peterburgh.
March 9. The Emperor of Germany and Czarina of Russia have agreed to a war upon the Turks, in order to drive them out of Europe, their troops are to consist of 600,000 men in four divisions. A new trade is expected to be opened by this channel, when affairs are settled.
The war which the Empress of Russia and the Emperor of Germany are conjointly going to undertake against the Turks, will probably be one of the most bloody wars since the Holy War, in the reign of Richard the First. The object is to drive the Turks entirely out of Europe, and to open new sources of trade to Russia and Germany.
The motives which have induced the Emperor to declare war against the Turks, are purely political. Religion, thank Heaven, is totally out of the case; yet it will have its influence in assisting the Imperialists with volunteers, and we shall shortly hear of sanctified emigrations from all parts, offering to fight for the honor of God and the good of their own souls, and laying down their lives in this world, to get into the holy army of martyrs in the world to come.
March 30. The Secretary's Office for the American Department is totally abolished; as will be the Boards of Trade and Green Cloth, immediately after the Easter Recess.
The Districts of the two new Secretaries of State are very unequally divided: Mr. Fox has only Germany, Russia, Prussia, Sweden and Denmark; Lord Shelburne has France, Spain, the East and West Indies, and America. But Mr. Fox is to have the management of the House of Commons, in conjunction with Lord John Cavendish.
Extract of a letter from Utrecht, March 16.
"We have very good authority for saying that there is something more on the tapis than mere amusement relative to a peace: the High and Mighty Lords have given notice to the French and Spanish ministers, that they are willing to enter upon a negotiation with England, and expect the concurrence of their respective courts, for a general peace, on a solid basis. Holland will not negotiate single handed with England, for various reasons too obvious to want explanation."
April 2. It is said a formal declaration of war against France and Spain will take place to morrow, which will be followed with a proclamation calling home all British subjects, that may be engaged in the service of either of those powers, or if taken in the service of either, will be exemplarily punished as traitors to their country.
Thursday morning the Duke of Richmond was at the Tower, and struck from their employments sixteen Gentlemen, who had salaries from two to five hundred pounds a year each.
April 6. It begins now to be the general opinion at Lloyd's, the bank, and stock exchange, that peace will finally be concluded with America and Holland in six months from the present time.
The Earl of Shelburne and Colonel Barre are opposed to American independence. Mr. Dunning, now Lord Ashburton, declared not long ago in the House of Commons, that the Minister who should dare to propose it, would be guilty of a crime little short of High Treason .
B A L T I M O R E, May 7.
By letters from Williamsburgh, Virginia, we have advice of the recent appearance of a British squadron off our capes, consisting of six ships of the line, six frigates, and five privateers. It is said they are cruising (with a view of intercepting a naval armament
expected on this coast from France) between Cape Henry and Cape Hatteras. Some of them daily appear near the entrance of Chesapeake.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, May 11.
By letters from South Carolina, dated as late as the 10th of April, we learn, that on the 18th of March, that gallant officer Capt. Rudolph, of Col. Lee's Legion, with Lieut. Smith, of the Virginia forces, and a few men, concealed under straw, in a small boat, fell down Stony river, and was brought too by the Allegator galley, mounting two twelve pounders, eight sixes, two threes, and a number of swivels, with forty men, stationed in Ashley river, for covering the left flank of the enemy's army encamped at the Quarter-House, and guarding the passage to Charlestown: the instant the boat was alongside the Allegator, Capt. Rudolph and his little crew boarded her, and after killing two or three of her people, got perfect possession of her, and took three commissioned and two warrant officers, with 23 seamen, prisoners; the others he liberated. But the wind and tide being unfavourable for bringing her off Capt. Rudolph was under the necessity of blowing her up.
Great praise is due to Capt. Rudolph for this enterprise, which was attended with as much bravery in the execution, as judgment in the forming.
Last Tuesday evening arrived here the privateer Schooner Recovery, Capt. —, of eight six pounders and 30 men from New-York, prize to privateer Holker, of this port.
The 25th ult. the Sloop Medford, Samuel Norris, with Lumber, &c. from Boston, bound for Norfolk, in Virginia, was taken and carried into New-York.
May 15. On Saturday last arrived here the brig Holker, belonging to this port. She was chased off our capes by some hungry Englishmen, but by her superiority in sailing, got clear of them. She has taken 14 prizes during her cruise. By this vessel we learn, that the French and English fleets were engaged part of three days, and that the English were so roughly handled, that not more than five or six were in a condition to set their top-gallant sails; four or five were towed into St. Lucia distmasted, and otherwise in a wretched condition. The French had a 74 gun ship blown up; but they had not a single vessel taken, although they had at least 200 sail of merchantmen under their convoy; and to all appearance the ships of war suffered comparatively, but trifling in the engagement, as they were able to keep the seas, and in good order to pursue their course to the westward, without interruption, where, it is hoped, they will soon effectually open the eyes of our inveterate enemies, by the reduction of that rich and valuable Island, Jamaica.
A flag which arrived on Sunday from Providence, which she left the first of May confirms the account already published, with the additional circumstances of Admiral Rodney having been killed, and the Count de Grasse wounded in the said engagement; and that there had been great rejoicings and illuminations at Cape Francois, on account of the victory gained by the French fleet over the English, in the action of the 12th ult. in the West-Indies.
Letters of the 3d of April, from Carolina, mention, that Major Hyrne, taken in a late excursion of the enemy, is paroled, but that Mr. Pendleton is committed to the provost. He is not, however, treated with that rigour which he would in all probability have experienced some time ago; no thanks to the mercy of our enemies! The same letters add, that Gen. Leslie opened a correspondence with Gen. Greene, on the subject of the estates of refugees lately confiscated, by an act of the Assembly, proposing to leave safe and inviolate all American property, within the lines, on condition of their not carrying the act into execution: Gen. Greene declared this to be entirely out of the line of his power; in consequence of which, interviews took place between Leslie's officers and gen-
temen of consequence in the State, but without producing any effect; and we are told that the affair is now before Congress. Extract of a letter from Elizabeth Town, May 4.
"In addition to the former, five sail of frigates are ordered out to call in their cruisers, and were this day to sail, two of which fell down, the others to follow. In general orders, no excursions to be suffered, and that at the risk of the transgressors or party that should take upon them to attempt it.
"There is a fleet of transports picking up, to sail soon for Britain, with offers of a passage for refugees or loyalists, if they chuse to accept of it."
The following is said to be Sir Henry Clinton's answer to his Excellency General Washington's letter, (inserted in our last) demanding the murderers of the brave Captain Huddy. We find it in a New York paper of the 21st inst.
SIR, New York, April 25, 1782.
YOUR letter of the 21st instant, with the enclosed testimonials, respecting Capt. Huddy's execution, was delivered to me yesterday, and though I am extremely concerned for the cause, I cannot conceal my surprize and displeasure at the very improper language you have made use of, which you could not but be sensible was totally unnecessary.
The mildness of the British government does not admit of acts of cruelty or persecuting violence, & as they are notoriously contrary to the tenor of my own conduct and disposition (having never yet stained my hands with innocent blood) I must claim the justice of having it believed, that if such have been committed by any person under my command, they could not have been warranted by my authority, nor can they ever have the sanction of my approbation. My personal feelings therefore required no such incitements to urge me to take every proper notice of the barbarous outrage against humanity (which you have represented to me) the moment it came to my knowledge; and accordingly when I heard of Capt. Huddy's death (which was only four days before I received your letter) I instantly ordered a strict enquiry to be made into all its circumstances and shall bring the perpetrators to an immediate trial.
To sacrifice innocence, under the notion of preventing guilt, in place of suppressing, would be adopting barbarity, and raising it to the greatest height. Whereas, if the violators of the laws of war are punished by the Generals under whose powers they act, the horrors which those were formed to prevent, will be avoided, and every degree of humanity war is capable of, maintained.
Could violations of humanity be justified by example, many from the parts where your power prevails, that exceed and probably gave rise to this in question, could be produced. In hope that the mode I mean to pursue, will be adopted by you, and prevent all future enormities. I remain &c.
(Signed) H. C.
His Excellency General Washington.
N E W - Y O R K, May 21.
It appears that the Spanish fleet, consisting of 12 sail of the line, and about 9000 troops, that were at Cape-Francois, as soon as they heard of the defeat of the Count de Grasse, made the best of their way to the Havana; and it is said they were seen in the Old Streights by some privateers that lately put into Providence from a cruise.
The cutter Two Friends, from St. Croix for Baltimore, prize to the Centurion, left St. Croix the 24th of April; and it was there supposed that the French fleet, after the action of the 12th of the same month, shaped their course along the south side of Hispaniola, and Admiral Rodney went down the north side of the same island.
The Firewards of the Town of Portsmouth , notify the inhabitants to conform to the law passed the General Assembly of this State, April 6th, 1781, in every respect—more especially in providing themselves with Ladders and Fire Buckets—which will prevent the disagreeable necessity of each person that shall be deficient therein, being called upon for their fines.
Portsmouth, May 30, 1782.

B O S T O N, May 30.
Our advices from New-York inform us, that great confusion prevails there, the inhabitants appearing to be as ignorant of the true meaning of the British cabinet as the people without the lines. This being the case, it would be difficult to ascertain what are the principles on which they mean to ground the intended negotiation for peace with America; but we think it most probable that their proposals will be such as cannot be accepted by a country which has claimed and supported a glorious independence six years, and is connected, by the strong ties of affection and interest, with one of the most powerful nations of Europe.
The people of America cannot, therefore, be too watchful of the insidious designs of our enemies, who, while they confess their inability to conquer us, hold out the idea of a friendly connection with us; an idea as absurd as it is fallacious; and which, we trust, the honor and safety of our country will reject with the contempt it deserves.
We hear that no person has yet been delivered up for Captain Huddy, but that Lippencott, who commanded the party that murdered him, is now taking his trial for that crime, before a court-martial consisting of British officers. and it is expected that he will suffer for this act of outrage and inhumanity.
Many people have been led away with an absurd notion that peace is immediately to take place, and our independence to be acknowledged by Great Britain; we would inform such, that at present there is not the least prospect of either.—We have certainly more to fear from the abilities of the new British ministry than we had from the old;—Not a word has yet been said of declaring us independent, and it is supposed every thing that we cannot accept, will be offered us; but that they will be silent on every point which might really tend to restore peace; and nothing short of declaring us independent can have a tendency to bring about so desirable an object.
A letter from the Southward mentions, that the terms of peace forwarded by Sir Guy Carlton to Congress have been rejected; they are said to amount to an acknowledgment of the Independence of the United States of America, on condition of their entering into an alliance with Great Britain.
Yesterday being general election, agreeable to the constitution, his Excellency John Hancock, Esq; was chosen Governor and Commander in Chief of this Commonwealth; and his Honor Thomas Cushing, Esq; Lieutenant Governor.
The Hon. Nathaniel Gorham, Esq; is elected Speaker of the Hon. General Court, the ensuing year; and Mr. G. R. Minot, Clerk.
Extract of a letter from West Point, dated May 21.
“We hear that a British Captain, taken at York-Town, (to be drafted for that purpose) is to be executed to retaliate the late execution of Capt. Huddy, of the West-Jersey militia.”
Extract of another letter from the same place, May 22.
“The enemy are embarking a large body of troops at New-York; their destination unknown, tho’ some officers upon the lines inform us that they are coming up the North River, to attack this post: If so, we shall be happy to meet them.”
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, May 15.
“The news of the day is, that the British have captured 3 ships of the line, on board one of which was Count de Grasse, and one French ship blown up, and that they were much worsted. This from New-York.—From the West-Indies we are informed, That the English have suffered most; that Rodney is killed, and Count de Grasse wounded. We hourly expect to hear the truth of this affair.”
S A L E M, May 30.
Yesterday Capt. Thompson came to town from Charlestown, South-Carolina, which he left on the 16th ult. He was taken, on the 26th of February last, in the privateer brig Chace, of this place, and carried into that port, by the British ship Duke de Chartres, of 20 guns. He informs, that the American prisoners in Charlestown are treated with humanity, have good provisions, though too scanty in allowance: That he was allowed free liberty, by his parole, to travel where he pleased within the lines: That the fresh provisions in the town are extremely poor, and very scarce; beef was sold at two shillings sterling a pound. He saw a turkey sold for six dollars; but was told that the price was sometimes more than double that sum.
Capt. Thompson further informs, that while he was in Charlestown, one of General Greene’s servants came into the town with the General’s horse, which he had stolen, together with the pistols, holsters, saddle, &c. That, about the same time, an officer of the British guards, with 18 men, deserted in a body to our army: That those inhabitants who are disaffected to the British government, are allowed to retire into the country when they please: And that desertions from both armies are very frequent.
Capt. Thompson observed no appearance of an intended evacuation of Charlestown.
