S L A V E T R A D E.
Sketch of the Debate which took place in the HOUSE of COMMONS, on Friday, May 9, 1788, upon the Motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
(Concluded.)
Mr. BURKE said, the noble Lord, who was a man of great honor and justice himself, had reasoned according to the dictates of his mind, and being conscious of his own integrity, was very naturally led to imagine, that other men were equally just and honorable. Undoubtedly the African Merchants and Planters had a right to call for an investigation of their conduct, and their doing so did them great credit. The Slave Trade ought to be enquired into; it ought to be fully and maturely considered; but he agreed with the Right Honourable Gentleman, that the subject could not be discussed this session, and that it was right his Majesty's Ministers should enquire into its merits. His Majesty's Ministers had done their duty, while that House, who had the Petitions of the people on their table, had deferred an enquiry. If that House wished to preserve their functions, their understandings, their honor and their dignity, he advised them to beware of Committees of the Privy Council. If they suffered the business of the House to be done by such Committees, they were abdicating their trust and character, and making way for an entire abolition of their functions, which they were parting with one after another. Thus
Star after Star goes out, and all is Night. If that House neglected the petitions of its constituents, that House must be abolished, and the Privy Council be instituted in its stead. What would be the consequence? His Majesty's Ministers, instead of consulting that House, and giving them the opportunity of exercising their functions of deliberation and legislation, would modify the measures of government elsewhere, and bring down the Edicts of the Privy Council to the House to register. Mr. Burke said, he was one of those who wished for the abolition of the Slave Trade. He thought it ought to be abolished on principles of humanity and justice. If, however, opposition of interests should render its total abolition impossible, it ought to be regulated, and that immediately. The House need not send to the West-Indies to know the opinions of the Planters on the subject; they were to consider first of all, and abstracted from all political, personal, and local considerations, that the Slave Trade was directly contrary to the interests of humanity; that the Slavery, however mitigated, was a state so improper, so degrading, and so ruinous to the feelings and capacities of human nature, that it ought not to be suffered to exist. Protraction might raise hopes in the unfortunate people, whose freedom they were anxious to restore, that might produce infinite mischief, if suffered to remain long ungratified. They ought, therefore, as soon as possible, to go into an investigation of the subject, as well for the sake of the Planters, as the slaves, to prevent the dangers that might result from protraction, and in order to allay the hopes and fears that might have been excited on the one hand, or entertained on the other.
Mr. Gascogne said, he had no objection to the discussion's standing over to the next session of Parliament, provided it could not come on in the present session, because he was persuaded that the gentlemen, his constituents, who were more immediately concerned in the trade, were men of such respectable characters, that they were above the reach of calumny, and might despise any imputation that ill-founded prejudice might cast upon them. Gentlemen, Mr. Gascogne said, might have observed, that not a single petition had been presented to the House against the measure, which the numerous petitioners, whose petitions had been received prayed for. He thought it necessary to inform the House, that he had long since received three petitions against it, but upon consultation with his Majesty's Ministers, it had been deemed most advisable not to present them to the House, but to refer them to the Privy Council, who had the subject under their consideration, and who, he hoped, would print their report, when they should have brought their enquiries to a conclusion, and lay it before the House, and the public, in order to enable all concerned to form a judgment of what was proper to be done respecting the subject next session. He wished, therefore, to know how soon they would be able to print their report? With regard to the abolition of the Slave Trade, Mr. Gascogne said, he thought it unnecessary, visionary, and impracticable, but he wished some alteration and modification of the Trade were adopted. In considering the subject, however, he hoped the House would not forget the Trade, Commerce, and Navigation of the country.
Mr. Rolle said, he had received instructions from his Constituents to enquire, if the grievances that were alleged to result from the Slave Trade were founded, and if it should appear that they were, to assist in applying a remedy. Mr. Rolle declared he was glad the Hon. Member had put off the discussion till the next session, as it would give Gentlemen an opportunity of considering the subject with more mature deliberation.
Mr. Martin desired to say a few words only. He put the case, that supposing the Slaves were treated ever so humanely, when they were carried to the West-Indies, what compensation was there for their being torn from their nearest relations, and from every thing that was dear to them? He hoped that no political advantage, no national expediency would weigh in the scale against the eternal rules of moral rectitude. When the subject, therefore, came to be fully and fairly considered and discussed, he declared he should think himself the wickedest wretch on earth, if he did not do every thing in his power to put a stop to the Slave Trade.
Sir William Dolben said, that although the University of Oxford had not presented any petition to the House for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, they had instructed him to assist in attaining that desirable object, and with a piety becoming that venerable body, to propose, by the distribution of religious books, and other means, the taking of some steps towards the improvement of the minds of the African Slaves, and inculcating a due sense of their moral and religious duties. He did not want, at present, Sir William said, to enter into the discussion of the Abolition of the Slave Trade, which the Right Hon. Member had desired might not be discussed at that time, but he wished to say a word or two on a matter, that in his mind was a most crying evil, and called for an immediate remedy of some sort or other, and that was the intermediate state of misery suffered by the slaves; he neither alluded to their sufferings at home, at the hands of their cruel countrymen, nor to their sufferings from their unfeeling masters, the Planters in the West-India Islands, but to that intermediate state of tenfold misery, which they suffered in their transportation from the coast of Africa to the West-Indies. He was ready to call evidence to the Bar to prove the fact. When put on ship-board, Sir William said, the poor unhappy wretches were chained to each other hand and
foot, and stowed so close, that they were not allowed above a foot and a half each individual. Thus crammed together, like herrings in a barrel, they generated putrid disorders, and all sorts of dangerous diseases; so that when their overseers came to look over them of a morning, they had daily to pick numbers of dead Slaves out of their rows, and to unchain their carcasses from the bodies of their wretched fellow-sufferers, to whom they had been fastened. Nor was it merely to the Slaves that the baneful effects of the contagion thus created was confined; it affected the ships crews, and numbers of the seamen employed in the horrid traffick died every voyage. This, Sir William said, called aloud for a remedy, and that remedy ought to be applied immediately. If they did not apply some remedy without delay, between the present session and the beginning of the next, ten thousand lives would be lost. He wished, therefore, that this grievance were taken into consideration, independent of the general question; and that some regulation, such as restraining the Captains from taking above a certain number of Slaves on board, according to the size of their vessels, obliging them to let in fresh air, and provide better accommodation for the Slaves during their passage, and such other regulations as should suggest themselves to the House, should be adopted. He said, he had no doubt but the humanity of the Right Honourable Gentleman would lead him to take up the facts he had stated, and which, he repeated, he was ready to prove at the Bar by most respectable evidence.
Mr. Young thought it extremely proper that the consideration of the subject should go over to the next session.
Lord Penrhyn said, he only spoke for himself and his constituents, when he pressed for an immediate enquiry into the Slave Trade. The African merchants felt their characters hurt; and therefore they had an undoubted right to call for an early investigation of the subject, that their characters might be cleared from the ill-founded calumny which had been thrown upon them. With regard to the facts stated by the Hon. Baronet, who had spoken last but one, the Hon. Baronet's argument proved too much, because the whole profit of the voyage of the Captains employed in the Slave Trade, arose from the number of negroes they could bring to the West India market in good health; and therefore it was so much their interest to preserve them, that it was not likely they should suffer them to generate mortal diseases in the manner the Hon. Baronet had described.
Sir James Johnstone professed himself a friend to the abolition of the Slave Trade, and said, it was highly necessary that the House should, as soon as possible, come to some decision on the subject, as the news of the intention of the Legislature to do something in their favor, had reached the West-India Islands; and unless what that something was, was soon ascertained, the poor creatures' hopes might be raised too high, and bad consequences might follow. He had lately heard from the Island of Grenada, and there the slaves were so full of the subject, that the common exclamations among them were, Mr. Wilberforce for Negro! Mr. Fox for Negro! The Parliament for Negro! God Almighty for Negro!
Mr. L. Smith stood up an advocate for the abolition of the Slave Trade, and in answer to Lord Penrhyn, and Mr. Gascogne, observed, that those very gentlemen, who admitted that some modification or regulation of the Slave Trade was necessary, by implication admitted that some abuses did exist in that traffick, because of necessity if regulations were proper, there must exist something that required regulation.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer repeated his declaration, that he did not wish to go into the discussion this session, and in regard to what an Honorable Gentleman had said relative to the printing the report of the Committee of Privy Council, he was pretty certain the Committee would not be able to bring their enquiry to a conclusion in time to print their report before the session ended. He took the liberty of once more wishing the House would not pursue the discussion farther at present, declaring that if such was their intention, he had much rather wave the question, and move it some other day.
Mr. Grigby said a few words in favor of the abolition which we did not distinctly hear.
Mr. Balfour was extremely anxious for the house's proceeding to discuss the subject in the present session. The whole country, he said, had petitioned; and was it any satisfaction to the country to say, the Committee of Privy Council are enquiring? Who knew any thing of what was doing by the Committee of the Privy Council, or what progress they were making? The enquiry ought to have been instituted in that House, and in the face of the public, that every one concerned might know what was doing. Petitions after petitions had been presented, and was it any answer becoming that house, to say, "we cannot attend to your petitions to-day, to-morrow we hope to have a holiday, and we must defer enquiring into the allegations of your petitions till next session?" Mr. Balfour reproached this delay, and said the Honorable Baronet (Sir W. Dolben) had stated facts that were shocking to humanity, and that called for immediate remedy. The Honorable Baronet had offered to prove the facts at the Bar of that House. He hoped, therefore, the Hon. Baronet would move that a Committee might be appointed to enquire into their existence, that a remedy might be applied before the sailing of the next ships for Africa; and that the House might know what time they had to spare for this purpose, he desired to learn how often in the year the ships employed in the Slave Trade failed to Africa?
Sir William Dolben said, ships were sailing from the various ports of the kingdom to the ports of Africa, every fortnight.
Mr. Whithread professed himself a strenuous advocate for the abolition of the Slave Trade.
Mr. Pelham said, he had not sufficient confidence in his own abilities and information, to bring forward a proposition on the Slave Trade, unless he thought he should be honored with the support and assistance of the House, but he had very maturely considered the subject, and had he not known, that the business was in the hands of an Hon. Gentleman, whose absence from the House, and the cause of it, no man lamented more sincerely than himself, he should have ventured to have proposed a plan for the regulation of the Slave Trade, that appeared to him likely to produce some salutary effects. He wished to know, if any plan would be permitted to be proposed in the course of the present session?
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, he should be extremely happy if he thought the circumstances of the House were such as to enable them to proceed to an immediate discussion of the subject, but as that did not appear, from the reasons he had before stated, to be the case, he could only assure the Hon. Gentleman that the same motives that would induce him to propose an enquiry into the subject early in the next Session of Parliament, would make him extremely happy to receive any information and assistance in the interim from every Gentleman who would so far favour him, and help to bring the matter to a point.
Mr. Pelham, in reply, stated his idea, that if it were judged improper to abolish the Slave Trade entirely, the sooner it should be regulated, he
conceived, it would be for the better; and, therefore, after what the Right Hon. Gentleman had said, he would take an opportunity of submitting a proposition to the House on the subject in the course of the present Session.
Sir William Dolben imagining that Mr. Pelham meant to propose some plan of regulation adapted to remedy the grievances he had complained of, relative to the poor Negroes sufferings on ship-board, during their passage from Africa to the West-Indies, rose to return his thanks to the Right Hon. Gentleman for his humane intention, declaring, that the miserable situation of the poor wretches at sea, deprived of air and water, for six weeks together, in many instances, deserved both the compassion and the immediate active interference of the Legislature.
Mr. Pelham rose to convince the Hon. Baronet of his mistake, and to state, that he had not adverted to any particular hardship suffered by the Slaves, but to a general regulation of the Slave Trade.
After a few more words from Mr. Whithread, the Question was put and agreed to unanimously.
To the PRINTER of the DAILY ADVERTISER,
SIR,
IN your paper of the 9th inst. was published a review of the TRIUMPH OF INFIDELITY, a Poem lately published in this country, accompanied by several remarks on the opinions contained in it, by a writer under the signature of BENEVOLUS. To these remarks, I beg leave to add several others, which occurred to me while reading the Poem, and comparing it with the strictures of the reviewer.
The reviewer has attempted to give the public a description of the nature and design of the Poem; this he appears to have done in a very imperfect and injudicious manner. The plan of the Poem is strictly regular, consisting of what critics call a beginning, middle, and end;—a purpose is proposed, means are provided and tried for its accomplishment, and these terminate in a regular catastrophe, with which the Poem concludes. Satan is represented as having used many efforts and many instruments for the destruction of the Christian Religion on the Eastern Continent; and as being fearful that all his designs would be finally frustrated by the influence of religious truth in this country. To prevent this, he resolves on the execution of a design, which he thinks most likely to establish his own kingdom, and ruin that of his maker, to wit, the publication of Universal Redemption. The Doctrine is accordingly published, and the consequences of it which are described, form a natural and just catastrophe of the Poem.
This plan of the Poem, which from my own feelings in perusing it, I should imagine must be obvious to every dispassionate reader, does not appear to have entered at all into the mind of the reviewer: his observations appear to have been penned as he cursorily read from passage to passage, and instead of giving others an adequate idea of the performance, prove merely, that he himself had no such idea, and are rather the desultory remarks of a careless peruser, than the methodized, the comprehensive views of a judicious critic. The same haste, inconsideration, and inaccuracy, are very observable in his particular strictures. Concerning the verification of the Poem, he observes, "That it is intolerably harsh." That it is not remarkable for smoothness I agree with him, and that smoothness has not been esteemed an essential requisite in satirical poetry by the best critics, he will undoubtedly confess. The Satires of Horace and Churchill, and many parts of Young's Satires also, have a verification less smooth than the verification of the Poem in question; but this circumstance has never precluded them from holding the first rank among satirical compositions.
Whether the Poem consists, as he insinuates, "of a jumble of words, forced conceits, and far-fetched ideas," every reader will undoubtedly determine for himself; but I presume there must be more evidence produced of the justice of this insinuation than the reviewer has offered, before others will be convinced that the Poem furnishes any foundation for such a remark. He asks, what does the Author mean by "undeifying the world's Almighty trust?" I will inform the reviewer, that in Rhetorical writings there is a figure, mentioned by the name of Metonymy , which is often used by Orators and Poets, and not unfrequently in common conversation. In the use of this Figure, I would also inform him that the name, which in natural or simple language is appropriated to an effect derived from, or dependent on, any cause or source, is most naturally applied to the source or cause on which it depends, or from which it is derived. Christ, to whom, I would still further inform the reviewer, the epithet of Almighty is attributable with the strictest propriety, at least in the opinion of forty-nine fiftieths of those who profess Christianity, is the object, cause, and source of all religious confidence, hope and desire.—Hence in the use of this Figure in a manner strictly natural, and mysterious I presume to few persons besides the reviewer, he is called the Trust , and the Almighty Trust of the world. If authority is needful to support the propriety of the expression, I would still further inform the reviewer, that God is frequently called the Trust of mankind; as in the 40th Psalm 4th verse—65th Psalm 5th verse, Proverbs 3d 26th, &c. That Christ is frequently called the Faith of mankind. The desire of all nations , as by Haggai. The hope of Glory , or Glorious hope , as by St. Paul. The Righteousness of mankind , by Jeremiah, &c. It will be prudent for the reviewer to attend more to subjects of this nature, before he proceeds farther in the business of reviewing; if he will do this, many things which now appear mysterious to him, will probably be as well understood by him, as they are by manly kind in general.
Another very mysterious thing the reviewer has found in this passage,
This M—— proves, in whom my utmost skill
Peer'd out no means of mischief but the will.
It may be fairly presumed that this passage was indeed mysterious to him, since with all his efforts he has been unable to explain it. The interpretation he gives of it is this:—That Satan, with all his skill, could not furnish Murray with any abilities, or means of doing mischief, equal to Chauncy's, except his will. The author of a new Spelling Book, and of a new Grammar of the English Language, ought to have understood English so well, as to know, that to peer, does not signify to Dictionary, he will find to peer, explained, "to come just in sight of—to peep." The obvious meaning therefore of the passage is, that Satan could not, with his utmost skill, come in sight of, or discover any means of mischief in Murray, but the will. If the reviewer, instead of connecting this passage with the short account of Doctor Chauncy and his opinions, which he has arbitrarily done, without any foundation from the Poem itself, had connected it with the sentence immediately preceding it, as the poet has done, all his difficulties in understanding it would probably have vanished. In the Poem it stands thus:—
To wound the eternal cause with deepest harms, Acheated gospel proves the surest arms:
Those arms no hand can like a preacher's wield;
Falce friends may slay when foes must fly the field.
This M—— proves, in whom my utmost skill
Peer'd out no means of mischief but the will.
What does Murray prove? The poem itself answers very plainly.—He proves that a cheared, or falsely glorified gospel, is the surest arms to wound the eternal cause in the deepest manner; and that a preacher can wield those arms more effectually than any other person; as false friends may slay, when open foes are obliged to fly the field: And this M—— proves convincingly by his want of abilities to do mischief. There is, therefore, not the least hint in the passage of the sentiment which the reviewer has peer'd out in it; nor the least difficulty in understanding the sentiment which the passage seems intended to express.
The reviewer finds much fault with the description of the Chinese. His expressions are these:—"Does this abuse proceed from the pen of a Christian? Is it possible that a man who attempts to vindicate Christianity, can seriously call the Mandarins, Kings, and Philosophers of China, Idols, Babies, Dwarfs, and the Bonzes, Brutes, and something below Brutes?" This concludes a paragraph. The next paragraph begins thus:—"The chief men of a nation too, celebrated through all the world for the most perfect system of Ethics and civil Government ever carried into execution, and for improvements in philosophy and the arts that vie with those of an antient Greece and Rome. And all for what?"
Let me request the reviewer to review this passage, and determine for himself at least, what is the nominative case , and what the verb necessary to complete the sense of the period with which the paragraph begins. Will he say that the nominative case , and verb of the preceding period are to be transplanted into this by the reader? Is the phrase "the chief men" to be considered as put in opposition to the "Mandarins, Kings, and Philosophers" in the preceding period? Is this the grammatical accuracy which a professed grammarian thinks proper to exhibit as a proof of his ability to judge of other men's writings? And does he think it proper to connect paragraphs in this manner; or did he wish to shew, that his skill in obscuring his ideas were at least as great as that of the poet he censures? It would be weak to attribute this imperfection to the printer, since it was published under the reviewer's own inspection.
Of the character of the Chinese, the reviewer will perhaps be better able to judge, when he is informed, that it is the general testimony of Historians, Geographers, and Travellers (Voltaire and the Jesuits excepted) that the Chinese History is notorious for the most extravagant fables; that their government is not only in the highest degree weak and inefficient for the great purpose of national defence; but that in it, a degree of bribery unknown in the most corrupt nations of Europe, extends uniformly through the whole administration of it; and that in almost every instance it is alike the price of favour and of justice.—That it is a standing proverb, supposed to be exactly expressive of Chinese fraud and trickishness, "That none but a Chinese can cheat a Chinese"—That many of their customs are absurd and ridiculous beyond anything hitherto discovered amongst the grossest savages.—That at least two-thirds of the numerous inhabitants of that empire daily prostrate themselves, in a manner supremely disgraceful to reasoning beings, before a great, ugly idol, called To —And that a vast number of persons under the name of Bonzes , traverse the whole country continually, as naked as they were born; and in this condition thrust themselves into all companies of men and women, under the shield of sanctity; and that it would be dangerous to exclude them. That probably for things like these they are dignatized in the poem. That there is not in the poem a single reflection cast upon them for not being Christians, or for expelling the Christian missionaries! And that their Ethics and Government are not therefore "the most perfect ever carried into execution."
Whether the author is, a Theological Dogmatist who has found the right way to Heaven by creeds and systems or not, the reviewer will probably never be able to determine, unless he should study divinity with more attention and success than he appears hitherto to have studied criticism; but nothing is more evident than that in the Poem, he has not damned all those who cannot swallow his articles of faith, although he severely censures the Infidels, Socinians and Universalists.
In his observations concerning the Poet's faults in grouping together Shaftsbury, Priestly, Chauncy and Allen, the reviewer has shewn an unhappiness and inaccuracy—similar in degree to the inaccuracy of those instances of which I have already taken notice. His words are: "A man who can group together such men as Shaftsbury, Priestly, Chauncy and Allen, and stigmatize his and many of the first Philosophers promiscuously, &c. can hardly be a candidate for that heaven of love, &c. Here the Poet is severely censured for grouping together Shaftsbury, Priestly, Chauncy and Allen, and for stigmatizing these and many of the first Philosophers: yet the reviewer is guilty of grouping these characters together in a worse manner than the Poet has done. Instead of telling us which of the persons ought not to have been grouped with the others, he has linked all together without any discrimination; and according to the most natural reference of the term these , has called them all philosophers; a species of reputable character which the Poet does not seem at all to have intended for several of them. If Priestly be one of the persons who ought not to have been united to such company as Allen, &c. and this is considered by the reviewer as a proof, that the Poet is not a candidate for Heaven, it may be replied that the Author of the Task , who is generally esteemed a man of singular benevolence and piety, has expressly given it as his opinion, that those persons, especially those preachers, who deny the divinity of Christ, are to be numbered amongst the greatest enemies of the Christian religion. The reviewer's determination that the Poet is not a candidate for Heaven, I presume will not greatly interest his feelings, as the reviewer will probably not set as judge, nor have any great influence in the decisions of that day, when questions of this nature will be finally resolved.
In the next paragraph the Poet is censured for borrowing lines without giving credit for them: In the whole compass of the Poem, as far as I can judge from my own reading, two lines, and two only are borrowed; and these are lines of such notoriety to every person who has read poetry at all, that to have given credit for them, instead of being thought necessary to prevent the charge of plagiarism, would have been justly esteemed superfluous and trifling. Whether the Muse blushed on the occasion specified in this paragraph, or not I would advise the reviewer to blush at his remarks concerning it, as it may save his friends and acquaintance the trouble of blushing for him.
To avoid the imputation of unkindness, I shall not make any remarks concerning his assertion, that one half the Poem is a jumble of unmeaning epithets, or an unnatural association of ideas, the world perhaps would not otherwise have known, how well the gentleman had studied the writings of other reviewers, a great part of whose writings consist of such general, positive, unsupported declarations.
By this time, Mr. Printer, I have probably trespassed upon the patience of your customers; but I find it necessary to instruct the reviewer a little further. If he will look into the Spectator , No. 565, he will find the illustrious author of that number, exhibiting it, not only as most sublime, but as a natural and rational conjecture, corresponding with the received astronomy, that there may be a series of Heavens or Skies above our own, the light from the farthest of which, has not hitherto reached the earth we inhabit. If he had happened to read the Essay in which these elevated ideas are communicated, it would have saved him the trouble of enquiring into the Poet's meaning in the line, "Above the arches of a thousand skies."

and of recurring for the purpose of finding it out, to the dream of Dionysius .
Once more.—If he will please to look into Deuteronomy, 32d. and 22d. he will find the origin of the puzzlement contained in the lowest Hell : In that place the Molt High observes, "For a fire is kindled in my anger, and shall burn unto the lowest Hell ." In the 56th Psalm and 13th verse, he will also find the same expression. In Job 11th and 8th, he may also find the expression deeper than Hell :—from this he may learn that there is a lowest Hell , and that there is something still beneath it. Finally, I beg leave to mention to the reviewer, that there is in Rhetoric, a Figure called the Hyperbole; and that Satan as well as other beings, is represented, both in the Bible, and in other writings, as speaking hyperbolically, and that in these two passages, which excite his wonder and exercise his talent of fault-finding, Satan only uses a natural, and very intelligible mode of hyperbolical expression, to exhibit the greatness of his exaltation, and the extremity of his depression.
I would now advise the reviewer, before he attempts again to fill the chair of criticism, to examine subjects of this nature with more reading and more reflection; and to shew less prejudice, and less ill-nature in his discussions. If he should think proper to follow this advice, he will probably gain greater reputation to himself, and give greater satisfaction to his readers. J. M.

Extract of a letter from Hillsborough, July 28. "The State of Franklin is come to an end, and Governor Sevier gone off with about 40 adherents, with whom he has made an attack on an Indian town, and killed a Chief called the Great Tassel , his son, and 25 more, which has provoked a war that will no doubt produce more murders; but the over-ill members seem to talk of the war as rather troublesome than formidable."
Extract of a letter from Penobscot, near New-Brunswick, May 28.
"We have assurances from the English Provinces of New-Brunswick and Nova-Scotia , that they have received intelligence from Britain , that Lord George Gordon is on the point of being united in matrimony with the unfortunate and long renowned Margaret Nicholson ; and that by the influence of Lord Sydney and the immaculate boy in breeches ( Mr. Pitt ), they are, immediately on the hymeneal knot being tied, to proceed to take on them the government of All British America , vice Lord Dorchester , whose health is on the decline, and whose life for several weeks past been despaired of. This event is very alarming to Roman Catholics in these provinces, as they are not ignorant of the serious exertions these celebrated personages have made towards the suppression of Popish influence both in Europe and America ; but in these states were mankind are so enlightened, and and possess so much philanthropy on religious points, we flatter ourselves that their example and influence (however pancratic may be their powers) will be but of little avail. Should this appointment take place, which is confidently believed, the lieut. gov. Parr , of Nova Scotia , a friend and patronizer of Benedict Arnold , will severely feel the discipline of Lord George , who has long contemplated him with an anti-friendly eye."
