From the London Evening-Post, Sept. 22. To the KING TO what a miserable situation are your affairs reduced, by a gang of the greatest Villains that ever infested any nation since the birth of Christ. To you personally the kingdom bears a proper respect. But the nation has a right, and will complain, when its most essential & dearest interests are abused and sacrificed. The few great men, who are able, honest and with to serve their country, are banished from your councils & ear. The common people see and know this. Hence it comes, that now, when it is necessary to call forth the strength of your kingdom, your people do not voluntarily enter into the service; but you are obliged to have recourse to the odious and unconstitutional method of impressing, to man the fleet that has been put into commission these seven years. If such is your Distress now, what will it be next summer, when the flames of war will be raging in every nation in Europe? The army is abhorred for the wanton & cruel massacre in St. George's fields. And the base and cowardly surrender of the Manila ransom, has destroyed the best excitement to the navy. Your people are not so ignorant, as your ministers wish them to be. This difficulty of getting men was foretold last winter by the Marquis of Granby, in the house of Commons. He said, "Such a general dislike to the service prevailed among the people, in every part of the kingdom, that the officers could not get men to compleat their regiments." This, as well as every other distress, is owing to the want of able and honest ministers. If the present blundering, ignorant and infamous set, continue much longer, an idiot may foretell, that the public credit will be destroyed. AN ENGLISHMAN.
L O N D O N Sept. 8. Lord Chatham has got acquainted with some transaction of the present Ministry which, in a proper place he intends to make public, and which, from the loose hints that have been dropped concerning it, is supposed will be a matter of public astonishment.
Extract of a letter from Newcastle, Sept. 1. "It is generally talked of here, that the Free-Burgeses of this town (being quite sick of looking for redress from the throne) will shortly have a meeting, in order to draw up instructions for their members to impeach in the House, the next session, some certain elevated State Plunderers; and in case the members should refuse to comply with this request, by opposing their liberty of judging, they will then proceed to petition the house to expel them both."
Sept. 11. A great man in the Administration of public affairs, was lately asked by a particular friend why he did not promote merit; to which the Great Man pertinently answered, Why! by God because Merit did not promote me.
The following story has been circulated as the subject of a late conversation: Some days ago, a letter appeared in a Morning Paper (and was afterwards copied into other prints) giving a ludicrous character of one of the Heads of the House of Bourbon, upon which not only the Spanish Ambassador, but all the Ambassadors belonging to that family, joined in a Memorial, which was delivered to Lord Weymouth, insisting upon condign punishment being inflicted upon the printer; and even threatening us as a nation, if such satisfaction was not refused. To this the Secretary of State answered, that he was surprised the Ambassadors could be so ignorant of the constitution of this country as not to know, that it was out of the power of Government to punish a printer in the way their Excellencies desired: that he was sorry for the affront offered their Sovereign, but that the English News-papers took liberties with their own
King, & a foreign Prince had no right to be angry if he was now & then treated with the same freedom, since the laws of the land were equally the shelter of the offenders, in both cases. As to the threats, he smiled at them; but added, that if what the Printers had done could be construed a libel, the Attorney-General should be spoken to, a prosecution commenced, and such damages adjudged as a jury of Englishmen thought equitable.
Sept. 15. Counsellor Murphy, on Saturday, asked Mr. Wilkes, at the Sessions House, in the Old Baily, "What those immense new buildings were designed for?" to which Mr. Wilkes answered, "You know the Duke of Bedford is dying, and those of the Bloomsbury gang, who do not go into the present Ministry, will probably go on the high-way, and the new buildings are preparing for them."
CHARLESTOWN, S. Carolina, October 11. Last Saturday arrived here the Sloop Freelove, Capt. Simmons of and from Swansey, in the province of Massachusetts-bay laden with Apples, Potatoes, Beets, Cheese and Rum; but being cleared at Newport, Rhode-Island, some difficulties arose whether her cargo might be purchased here, till after there had been three meetings of the general Committee, when it clearly appearing, that Vessels from Swansey, tho' in the Massachusetts Government could not obtain clearances but from Newport, and that all her cargo was bought at Swansey except nine hogheads of Rum, it was agreed, that the Swansey goods might be disposed of here, but the Rum being distilled in Rhode-Island, is to be carried back in the vessel. But no such Cargoes will in future be purchased here unless the Masters or Supercargoes bring with them Certificates from the Boston Committee, that no part thereof is the produce of, or owned in the colonies of Rhode-Island or New-York.
PHILADELPHIA, November the 10. They write from Liverpool, that the Demand for check Linen from New-York, &c. is so great there, that the Merchants have been obliged to buy single Pieces in little Retail Shops.
George Anthony Tonya, Esq; Commander of his Majesty's Ship Phoenix, a brave and experienced Sea Officer, lately died at Kingstown in Jamaica.
Capt Dean from Gibraltar, advises that five English men of war of the line, were gone up the Mediterranean to join Commodore Proby, but their destination was kept secret: And that it was reported there that two English frigates were taken by the Spaniards.
The Brig Polly, Capt. Roach, from this port for Jamaica, is lost on Heneago; the people staid on board two days after she was full of water, when they took to their boat, and were taken up by a sloop and carried into Jamaica.
We hear from Paxton, in Lancaster County, the last Week, at the raising of a Barn there, in hoisting a Log, it broke in the Middle, killed three Men on the spot, and hurt five others.
NEW-YORK, November 26. Capt. Reeves from Quebec in 18 days informs, that on the 19 of October they had the most violent gale of wind at that place ever known in the memory of the oldest man living, which lasted about 6 hours, and had it continued but a few hours longer every vessel in the harbour must have inevitably been split to pieces; as it was, several vessels received considerable damage, and a whaler from Nantucket, and two French vessels, were entirely lost, with their cargoes within 2 leagues of Quebec, and the crews of the two latter, consisting of 14 souls, among which were some women and children, all perished.
Last Monday Capt. Chambers arrived here from London, but last from Falmouth; and informs, that the Lord Hyde packet was to sail from thence for this Place the day after him.
Tuesday last arrived here, Captain Dean from Barcelona, but last from Gibraltar; while there, he learned by letters from Cadiz, that the Spaniards having dispossessed the English of Falkland island, & taken two of our men of war, were returned with the garrison, settlers, &c. to the amount of 300 persons, who are all detained at Cadiz as prisoners. He informs, that the beginning of September last five English men of war of the line touched at Gibraltar on their way up the Mediterranean, but what was their business or destination was kept a profound secret.
N E W P O R T, November 26. One Day last Week a Vessel arrived at Bedford in Dartmouth in 30 Days from England, and it was reported on Saturday that she brought certain intelligence that a war was proclaimed between Great-Britain and Spain; but not having received a confirmation of this report we believe it to be premature.
B O S T O N, November 29. Friday last was tried at his Majesty's Superior Court of Judicature, &c. now sitting here, one John King, a Mariner, belonging to his Majesty's Ship Fowey, for the Murder of a sailor belonging to said Ship, in a skirmish on board a boat at Wheelwright's wharf, (as formerly mentioned in this paper.) The Jury brought him in guilty of Manslaughter only; and the prisoner was immediately branded in court for the same, and dismissed.
Sunday last the Wind being fair a Number of Vessels sailed from hence, having a long Time lain Wind-bound, among them were Captains Calf, Scott, and Dayerston, for London.
Last Lord's-Day night, a fire broke out, which consumed the dwelling house of Capt. Oliver Barron of Chelmsford, as also almost all his household furniture.
Dec. 3. By Capt. Bryant, who lately arrived here from Petersburg in Russia, we are informed, That on his return with a Cargo of Hemp, &c. he put into Stromness in the Orkneys, in order to enter and clear his Ship and Cargo, where he found a Wharf completed, so that Ships of 17 Feet Water may lay with the greatest safety in the worst of Weather, with a large Warehouse erected thereon capable of containing three thousand Barrels of Rice; and that the greatest attention was given to Business there by Messrs James Curzon and Son, and the Charges much less than in any Part of the English Channel.
Tuesday last came on at the Superior Court in this Town, the Trial of the Soldiers indicted by the Grand Jury for the Murders committed on the Evening of the 5th of March last. The Trial has continued each Day since, Sunday excepted, and is not yet finished.
There is no later Advice from Europe, than in our last, relative to the Preparations for War between Great-Britain and Spain.
From the Boston Gazette of December 3.
Messrs Edes & Gill, Great Historian, Mons. Mezeray, speaking of the ancient Germans, says, "No people were ever so jealous of their Liberty, or ever defended it so long and so successfully as the Germans; it may indeed be said that Liberty being driven out of the best part of the world by the Roman arms, took Refuge on the further Side of the Rhine, where she had for her Companions and Guards, Poverty, Innocence, Frugality and Modesty. She combated Five hundred years together, against Tyranny and all her Train; I mean, Ambition, Luxury, Flattery, Corruption and Divisions, the Instruments which the cruel enemies of the human Race employ to forge Manacles and Fetters."
The foregoing Historian once conversing with an English Gentleman of Quality about the Difference of Government in France and England, broke out in this Expression, O Fortunata nimium si bona norint, Angligenas! --- We had once, said he, in France, the same Happiness and the same Privileges which you have. Our Laws were made by Representatives of our own choosing --- Our Money was not taken from us without our Consent; our Kings were subject to the Rules of Law and Reason. But now alas! we are miserable and all is lost. Think nothing Sir too dear to maintain these precious Advantages! and if ever there be Occasion, venture your Life, your Estate and all you have rather than submit to the Condition to which you see France reduced.
May America, while struggling for her Liberties, imitate the noble Example of the ancient Germans; and may their virtue be an incitement to her, to persevere in the just Cause. As we have not yet been awed by the Menaces of Tyrants, let us not be beguiled by their Flattery. Our Spirits cannot be subdued to the Yoke of Tyranny by the Rod of Iron, perhaps an Attempt may be made to enslave us by Art or Persuasion: Beware of the Poison of Flattery! S O M E R S.
S A L E M, December 4.
By Captain Lander, who lately arrived here from Halifax, we have received a Copy of a Proclamation issued by his Excellency Walter Patterson, Esq; on the 24th of September last, notifying all whom it may concern, That his Majesty has been pleased to constitute his Island of St. John's a separate and distinct Government from that of Nova-Scotia: That his Majesty has appointed his Excellency Captain-General and Governor in Chief of said Island; and that he was arrived at Charlotte-Town, which is appointed by his Majesty to be the Capital of the said Island, and assumed the Government of the same: That by his Excellency's Order in Council on the 19th of the same Month, it was ordered and directed, that there should be a Court of Justice, for the recovery of Peoples property, immediately established, which should be called His Majesty's Supreme Court of Judicature; as well as a Court of Oyer and Terminer, and General Goal Delivery: That it was further ordered in Council, that a Commission should be granted from his Excellency to John Dupert, Esq; as Chief Justice for opening said Court, and that the same should be held at Charlotte-Town aforesaid: Which Court was opened accordingly, and the proper Officers had taken the necessary Oaths for carrying into Execution the Laws of Great-Britain, and the Laws, Statutes and Usages of the said Island.
We hear from Methuen, that about 10 Days since three Lads went into the Woods to cut Wood, and took with them a Gun; that while two of them were at Work, the third, about ten or twelve Years of Age, diverted himself in playing with the Gun, which was loaded; when one of the working Lads, named John Austin, told him to desist from handling it, or he would shoot him; and accordingly, by Way of Intimidation, Austin slept and took up the Gun, and pointed it at him, when the Piece immediately went off, by which the unhappy Lad, who was playing with it just before, was shot in such a Manner as very speedily to put an End to his Life.
L O N D O N, September 20.
The Situation of ENGLAND with the POWERS of the WORLD, FRANCE and SPAIN---arming against Great-Britain---PORTUGAL---soliciting the assistance of Spain, and treating England with contempt---PRUSSIA & GERMANY---boud by affection for each other: the former watching an opportunity to retaliate and pay himself what we owe him---DENMARK---married our King's sister, but it is the pedagogue of the pupil Prince---HUNGARY---has consolidated its interest by the marriage of the Dauphin---SWEDEN---supplies ammunition to our enemy---TURKEY---is leagued in with the interests of France. --- The STATES of ITALY---are cemented by religion to the interests of France and Spain--- CORSICA---in the possession of France---PIRATES and ALGERINES---in awe of France--- ORIENTAL INDIA---rebellious against England---HOLLAND ---assisting all states but ours---RUSSIA making her own conquests, with the assistance of our seamen---IRELAND---in mutiny---AMERICA---in open rebellion---SCOTLAND---advising measures to prove herself the first great friend to the Stuart Line, and this swarm of enemies---Alas! poor England.
The preparations now making at Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Chatham, are no more than customary, and the forces that are going abroad are the five following regiments, which are for the garrisons of Gibraltar and Minorca, viz. second battalion of the first or royal regiment of foot, fifty first, fifty fifth, sixty eighth, and sixty first regiments of foot, which are to relieve the five following regiments; the third, eleventh, nineteenth, thirtieth, and sixty seventh. This exchange of troops of course requires a fleet of men of war to carry them, which fleet is to relieve those ships that are on that station. As to the other ships fitting out, the Ministry are to be commended for it, as the manning a fleet of observation and supplying the magazines with stores, are necessary measures at this juncture. This should rather increase the publick credit than be the cause of lowering it; for by these means we shall be ready to answer any insult which may be offered us by our enemies, and thus a war may possibly be avoided.
Sept. 17. The natural enemies of this country are actually forging fetters for its independence. In Spain there is a general cry for war; we receive nothing but insults by every mail from Portugal; and France, under an affectation of civility, most civilly fits out her fleets; and the heavy Dutchman, like a porter drunk with the lees of beer, throws out his clumsy jokes.

On MINISTERS of the GOSPEL.
From the Pennsylvania Journal , Nov. 22.
THE World revere their Order as divine When they can see unblemish'd Virtue shine, When solid Learning and substantial Sense Are join'd with unaffected Eloquence: When Lives and Doctrines of a Piece are made, And holy Truths with humble Zeal convey'd; When free from Passion, Bigotry and Pride, Not sway'd by Interest nor by Parties ty'd; Contemning Riches, and abhorring Strife, And shunning all the noisy pomp of Life, They live the awful Wonders of their time, Without the least suspicion of a Crime: Men should with Joy the highest Deference pay, And heedfully attend to all they say, From such Reproofs might always grateful prove, As being the Effects of Piety and Love. Thus WHITEFIELD's Zeal univall'd Fame procur'd, Silenc'd the captious World and Love unfeign'd secur'd.
A New Favourite Song for the Ladies.
THOUGH man has long boasted an absolute sway, While woman's hard fate was, love, honour, obey; At length over wedlock fair liberty dawns, And the Lords of Creation, must put in their horns; For Hymen among ye proclaims his decree. When husbands are tyrants, their wives may be free. 2. Away with your doubts, your fears and fears, 'Tis Venus beats up her gay volunteers; Insist at her banner, you'll vanquish with ease, And make of your husbands what creatures you please; To arms then ye fair ones, and let the world see, When husbands are tyrants, their wives will be free. 3. The rights of your sex wou'd ye e'er see restor'd, Your tongues shou'd be us'd as a two-edg'd sword; That ear-piercing weapon each husband must dread, Who thinks of the marks you may place on his head: Then wisely unite, till the men all agree, That woman, dear woman, shall ever be free. 4. No more shall the wife, all as meek as a lamb, Be subject to "Zounds do you know who I am," Domestic politeness shall flourish again, When women take courage to govern the men; Then stand to your charter and let the world see, Tho' husbands are tyrants their wives will be free.
BOSTON, Nov. 20, 1770.
Messieurs EDES & GILL, Having obtained a Copy of a Letter from Halifax, if you think it worth publishing, as it gives a State of the Holy Roman Catholic Religion in that Province, by publishing of it you will oblige some of your Readers, and among the Rest, Your humble Servant, T. W. Halifax, Nova-Scotia, 25 Oct. 1770.
MY DEAR JERE O SULLIVAN, I AM very sorry you left this place, for since ye have been gone, we have a Romish Priest do ye see Jere: this was a good Stroke of policy of some of our good Friends, (for I assure you we are not without many of them) to get a priest for our good Friends the St. John's Indians, they being of our Holy Religion, for he can do for them and us too; after he has been with them, and confess'd them, and given them Absolution, and done what is necessary for the good of their Souls, Then he comes to Halifax, and we have Mass, Prayers, Ave-Maries, and plenty of Holy-Water, and Abundance of other good Things belonging to the Holy Mother Church, and we can get Absolution very cheap; and as I know you cannot come here for fear of the Jail, as you owe Money in this place, if you will send me a little Money I will go to the priest and buy a pardon for you doe ye see, for all your Sins big and little, and send it to you, and then sure you will be very happy, when your poor Soul is safe, for you have been a great Sinner as well as myself. Therefore my Dear Jere, do not neglect my good Advice. It is true that I am told there is a Law of this province that any Romish Priest being found officiating within this Province shall be hanged, but no Matter for that doe ye see, for we have a great many well-wishers here, and our priest goes about the town as publickly as any of the Ministers of the Town, and I hope we will have a Chapel here soon, for it looks very favourable on our Side, when we can meet time after time in the Town, and have the Enjoyment of Religion, which we could not doe when you was here; for we now meet in Charley C——h's Big House, and our countrymen of our Religion, with the Newtural French, and some few Dutch Roman Catholicks, make a considerable Number, and we increase, for some of ours who for want of a Priest have gone to the English Church, are joining us again, for the priest has been here about a month, and we are very much pleased with the Enjoyment of our Holy Religion, for it's a good Thing to get Absolution, for I feel much the better for it; and let me tell ye, I never was so happy in my life as I am now. I could tell you a great deal more if I could see your dear face, but as we are so far a-part, I must bid you adieu. I am, your loving Cousin, DICK VORRISH.
