Mess. PRINTERS,
I FIND that the act lately passed by our General Court respecting the confiscating of British real property , gives great uneasiness to many persons amongst us, some of whom, are fond of being thought to possess true whiggish principles; under which mask, they are but too successful in making cabals whenever the proceedings of public bodies militate with the interest of their real friends: And as it's a great pity that the credulous and well-meaning part of the community should be made dupes to such characters upon every occasion that they think proper, under the specious shew of patriotism—I think it a duty incumbent on some persons to undeceive them, by pointing out the deception; and sorry am I, that some abler pen has not attended to a matter of so great consequence, in order to prevent such mischiefs taking place; but when consider'd it does not need much sagacity to account for it. However, instead of a better, I have undertaken to say something in justice to this ruinous measure , as it is called, in as brief a manner as possible. I would not impose on the understandings of any persons so much as to suppose, that they are not fully sensible that the British government has not ever since this war began, confiscated all American property that was to them visible , and even while our vessels sailed under their acts of parliament —witness the great number of vessels taken and carried into Boston, and elsewhere, and kept in custody 'till acts were passed and sent out for their condemnation. And besides, have they not been guilty of the most cruel and unheard of barbarities toward us, by burning, destroying, robbing, murdering defenceless inhabitants, and committing every species of savage cruelty that could be invented—such as would even make the very Devil blush. And after all this, we find pretended whigs are levelling their whole artillery at the General Court, for doing justice to their much injured country. Those persons say it will be the means of having all the debts due from individuals in England to individuals here, confiscated; which absurd story, they are very industrious in propagating: But people in their right senses must know better, because the act does not interfere with debts , but nothing more than real property , which unprecedented by all nations for foreigners to hold; not only so, the debts (which is the bugbear) owed by this country to England, far exceeds the money due, perhaps treble so, which of itself is a sufficient barrier. But even admitting their arguments true—who are the persons amongst us that have money in England? Are they characters that are conspicuously in favor of their country? Have they in any wise manifested a friendly disposition to the cause of America? Have they not (generally speaking) rather discouraged than encouraged every laudable undertaking? Are these our best friends they tell us are to be ruin'd by that horrid act ? Poor creatures! What a pity it is, the government don't attend more to the interest of such worthy friends !—But I believe it can be pretty well ascertained, that their money they tell so much about, has been during the war loaned to the government of Britain; therefore, is it not rather a curse to us than a ser-
vice?—some instances could be quoted if it were necessary. In my humble opinion, it would be much best for this country, that they should be sent where their money is; for according to the scripture plan, "where the treasure is the heart is also."
Upon the whole, I think it more essential for the worthy part of the community to petition (if any petitions are necessary) that those persons who have not been aiding and assisting in the cause of their country, should be obliged to pay 15 or 20 per cent. on the value of their estates, and never be suffered to hold any public office whatever during their lives; which petition would be more to their credit and advantage, than that of petitioning for the rescinding the act respecting British property .
PLAIN TRUTH.
Mess. Printers,
The following Address to the Supreme Being, extracted from the works of a celebrated author, will doubtless be acceptable to many of your readers. A. Z.
NO longer do I address myself to men, but to thee, God of all beings, of all worlds, and of all ages; if it may be permitted weak creatures, lost in immensity, and imperceptible to the rest of the universe, to presume to petition thee for aught, who hast given plenty of all things, and whose decrees are immutable as eternal. Deign to look with an eye of pity upon the errors annexed to our natures! Let not these errors prove the sources of misery to us! Thou hast not given us hearts to hate, nor hands to kill, each other; grant then that we may mutually aid and assist each other to support the burthens of this painful and transitory life! May the trifling differences in the garments that cover our frail bodies, in the mode of expressing our insignificant thoughts, in our ridiculous customs, and our imperfect laws, in our idle opinions, and in our several conditions and situations, that appear to disproportionate in our eyes, and are equal in thine; in a word, may the slight variations that are found amongst the atoms called men, not be made use of by us as signals of mutual hatred and persecution! May those who worship thee by the light of tapers at noon-day, bear charitably with those who content themselves with the light of that glorious planet thou hast placed in the midst of the heavens! May those who dress themselves in a robe of white linnen, to teach their hearers that thou art to be loved and feared, not detest or revile those who teach the same doctrine in long cloaks of black wool! May it be accounted the same to adore the dialect formed by the antient or a modern language! May those who, clothed in vestments of crimson or violet colour, rule over a little parcel of that heap of dirt, called the world, and are possessed of a few round fragments of a certain metal, enjoy, without pride or insolence, what they call grandeur and riches, and may others look on them without envy: For thou knowest, O God, that there is nothing in all these vanities, proper to inspire envy or pride.
"May all men remember that they are brethren! May they alike abhor that tyranny which seeks to subject the freedom of the will, as they do the rapine which tears from the arms of industry the fruits of its peaceful la-
bours! And if the scourge of war is not to be avoided, let us not mutually hate and destroy each other in the midst of peace; but rather make use of the few moments of our existence, to join in praising, in a thousand different languages, from one extremity of the world to the other, thy goodness, O all-merciful Creator, to whom we are indebted for that existence."
From a late New-York paper.
Chesapeake, April 2, 1782.
Monsieur Kergorica de Emmaria, of the Sybil French frigate, desires Capt. Mackay to make his compliments to the Captains of all the king's frigates at New-York, of which he named the Perseverance, Orpheus, Amphion, Amphitrite, Pandora and Santa Margareta; that his station is in Lyn-Haven Bay and off Cape Henry, and will be glad to see any one of them there, as he has one very good ship's company for them, which he desired Capt. Mackay to take notice of. The Sybil, it is said, mounts 36 guns.
L O N D O N, January 1.
Extract of a letter from Sir Eyre Coote to Col. Braithwaite, dated July 6, 1781.
"The 3d instant I had the pleasure to acquaint you of the success of our little army, in a general action, on the 1st instant, with Hyder Ally, between Porto Novo and Moorepallam; it lasted 8 hours, and was a hard fought day on both sides. The enemy's forces consisted of 25 battalions of infantry, 400 Europeans, from 40 to 50,000 horse, and above 100,000 matchlock men, Peons and Polygars, with 47 pieces of cannon, well served. Our second line having occupied some heights, by which our rear was secured, I advanced with the first towards the enemy's guns, many of which, had we had a body of cavalry, must have fallen into our hands. They made repeated attempts to force us with their horse, and kept up a brisk cannonade, which for a long time, our heavy fire could not silence; yielding at length to the steadiness, spirit, and bravery of our comparatively small number of troops, they retreated precipitately, and left us masters of the field. Meer Saib received a mortal wound, and among 4000 killed, are many principal officers. On our side we lost very few officers, and have only 3 or 400 killed and wounded. You will please to communicate this fortunate event to all the southern garrisons."
Jan. 26. General Arnold came home as fully disgusted with the conduct of the royal commanders, as he was heretofore disgusted with those of America, but he has not now the same means of shewing his resentment, and must submit to contumely.
Jan. 29. Government has received advice of two revolts among the German troops destined for America. They were both suppressed, and several of the men put to death by way of example.—These circumstances prove to a demonstration, that all efforts for recruiting our army on the continent, must henceforth prove totally nugatory; so that if farther sacrifices are to be made to the impracticable wish of American subjugation, the individuals must come from this country alone, and Great-Britain must prove the sole sufferer for all her follies.

L O N D O N, February 7.
This day exhibited what this nation never heard of before:—The two great Houses of Parliament sitting in inquest on the same day. The Lords are to inquire into the conduct of Earl Cornwallis, and the causes of the surrender of the army under his Lordship's command in America. The Commons are to inquire into the conduct of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and the causes of the failures of the navy all over the world.
March 9. The Ceres man of war, which arrived at Portsmouth from Plymouth, is ordered to be got ready to sail with some officers and persons of distinction for America, who are going over, it is said, to hear on what terms the Congress will agree for a reconciliation with their mother country.
It is said that passports are sent over to Amsterdam for Mr. John Adams, the only person in Europe invested with power to negotiate from the American Congress, and that he is expected in London next week, for the purpose of opening a treaty.
PHILADELPHIA, April 20.
Extract of a letter from South Carolina, dated camp at Col. Skirvin's, 35 miles from Charlestown, March 15.
"The enemy content themselves with the possession of Charlestown in this State, and Savanna, in Georgia: I this moment hear that they have burnt their out works, and are embarking some troops at Charlestown."
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, dated April 16, 1782.
"Capt. Jones, in the schooner Somerset, arrived here this morning, after a passage of ten days from St. Kitts. He brings no news but a confirmation of Guichen's fleet being arrived at Martinico, consisting of ten ships of the line, and about 130 transports; the whole force of the French at that place 40 sail of the line, and the British at St. Lucia 39."
C H A T H A M, April 24.
The following is a copy of a label that was found pinned to Capt. Huddy's cloaths after his execution.—"We, the refugees, having, with grief, long beheld the cruel murders of our brethren, and finding nothing but such measures daily carrying into execution, we therefore determine not to suffer, without taking vengeance for the numerous cruelties, and thus begin, and have made use of Capt. Huddy as the first object to present to your view, and further determine to hang man for man while there is a refugee existing. Up goes Huddy for Philip White."
The 15th inst. Sir James Jay (brother to the Hon. John Jay, Esq;) was taken at the house of Mr. Arent Schuyler, at second river, by a party of the enemy from Staten Island.
Last Monday evening a large fleet was descried off Sandy Hook, but as they did not get in we have not learned who or what they are; most probable the garrison of Charlestown.
N E W - L O N D O N, May 3.
Sunday last a flag returned from New-York which brought 20 Americans who had been a long time on board a prison ship.—About one thousand of our countrymen remain in the prison ships at New-York, great part of whom have been under close confinement for more than six months, and in the most deplorable condition; many of them, seeing no prospect of a releasement, are entering into the British service, to elude the contagion with which those ships are fraught.
We learn that about 500 persons have died on board the different prison ships at New-York during the last five or six months, and that about 300 are now sick.
B O S T O N, May 9.
Sunday arrived here a letter of marque brig of twelve 18's and two long 9's, copper bottomed, loaded with coffee and cotton, prize to the letter of marque ship Robbin Hood Capt. Smith, of but eight 6's.—She was from St. Lucia, bound to England, and was taken without opposition. The brig had 10 hands more than the ship.
The above prize failed the 2d ult. under convoy of the British fleet, bound for Jamaica; but as the French fleet failed 24 hours before, 'tis supposed they arrived timely enough to lay siege to Jamaica.
On the 10th of April last, a fire broke out on the island of Antigua, which consumed
upwards of 70 buildings, and a large quantity of provisions for the use of the British troops on that island.
Formerly the common estimate in England was, that the total expence of their navy amounts to 1000. a gun; but Lord Sandwich, by the king's desire, drew up a new one, and the total is 1640. a gun.
It is said the traitor General Arnold receives the most flattering attention from his tyrannical majesty George the 3d, is often consulted by him in private, and particular regard is paid to his opinions in whatever regards the future prosecution of the American war.—[How truly little and despicable do kings appear, when, for the purpose of policy, they are forced to smile upon the meanest and basest of mankind!]
We hear the continental frigate Alliance is shortly expected from France; it is further added, that a number of French frigates are to cruise on these coasts this summer for the protection of the American West India and European trade.
S A L E M, May 9.
Captain Phelps, who was lately taken in a brig belonging to this port, arrived here from New-York on Sunday last. He left that place the Monday preceding, and relates the following interesting intelligence, viz. "That on Saturday the 27th ult. a packet arrived at New York from England; that though no intelligence brought by her had been published yet it was currently reported in the city, that in late debates in the British parliament on the American war, there were only a majority of one or two votes for continuing of it: That it was their design to prosecute the war in the West Indies with vigour, and for the purpose 50 sail of the line were to be sent there: That at 4 o'clock on the Saturday preceding Capt. Phelps's departure from the city, the Cornwall packet, Capt. Dilworth, arrived there in 4 weeks and 5 days from Falmouth (having failed a fortnight after the above packet:) That immediately on her arrival a crowd of people flocked to the wharves to hear the news.—Capt. Phelps says he met with the pilot of the packet on his landing, and being intimately acquainted with him, asked him the news; he was answered that America was declared independent by Great-Britain: Captain Phelps asked if it might be relied on? He answered, that he had been two days on board the packet, and that this was the common discourse among the people. Capt. Phelps says he was afterwards in various parts of the city, and in different companies, in which were gentlemen of the army and navy, and this news appeared to engross their whole conversation,—none appearing to doubt the truth of it."
By the same gentleman we learn, that five sail of vessels arrived at New-York a few days before he left the city, having been captured out of a fleet of 25 sail from Philadelphia, and it was reported that 8 others had been taken out of the same fleet, and were coming up.
He likewise informs, that on Monday se'n-night, at six o'clock, the enemy began to break ground to cut a canal on Long Island, to run from the Wall back to the Pond, taking in Cobble hill fort. The length of the trench to be two miles and a quarter. The militia were called out to work in rotation, one day in a week; no person above 15 years of age being excused labour.
Last Saturday the privateer ship Grand Turk, Capt. Pratt, of this port, arrived from a successful cruise. Her last prize was a schooner from Antigua, bound to Penobscot, which arrived in a safe port on Monday last. She left St. John's on 17th ult. The intelligence received by her, of two engagements between the British and French fleets in the West Indies, we shall give our readers, verbatim, as reported by the passengers, viz.
"On Sunday the 15th ult. a cartel arrived at Antigua from Gaudaloupe, the Captain of which informed, that the Tuesday preceding his departure the British and French fleets, the former consisting of 35, and the latter of 33 sail of the line, had an action off Gaudaloupe, in which he knew of no ship being
taken or destroyed on either side: That two French ships of the line put into Gaudaloupe in great distress, one with the loss of her fore-mast and bowsprit, occasioned by some of their own ships running foul of her: And that on Saturday the 13th, in his way to Antigua, he saw the two fleets engage a second time, in which he saw distinctly one ship blow up, but knew not whether French or English, nor what the event of the engagement was.—Just as the schooner was getting under way, the Triton frigate arrived from Admiral Rodney, the Captain of which informed them (the passengers) that in the second action, of Saturday the 13th, the following French ships were taken and destroyed viz. La Ville de Paris, of 110 guns, Count de Grasse, la Glorieux, 84, le Nectar, 74, and l'Ardent, 64, taken; le Cesar, 74, burnt; and le Zediaque, 84, sunk.—The Triton left the two fleets going into St. Kitts, when it was expected another action would ensue. The British were very much damaged in their masts and rigging, but are said not to have lost many men.—The French fleet had several transports, with 10,000 troops with them, bound to Cape Francois, which set out in the commencement of the action, and it's supposed reached the Cape in safety, as none of them were known to be taken when the Triton left the fleet.—Before she left it, the Count de Grasse was removed from his own to Rodney's ship."
It will be considered, that this account is from the enemy, the truth of which is doubted by many; and we hope it will prove entirely without foundation. Certain intelligence has been received at Philadelphia of the arrival of Count de Guichen, with ten of the line and 130 transports, at Martinico; and that the French fleet at that island amounted to 40 sail of the line, and the British, at St. Lucia, to 39.
The French and Spanish naval force, now in the West Indies, as accurately stated in a Philadelphia paper of the 24th ult. amount to 69 sail of the line, fit for service;—a considerable number of capital ships at the Havana not included.
