It appears from one Of the French pa

at Paris, either to account for his military
conduct, or to assist at the ceremonial of
the baptism of the king of Rome, which
took place on the 9th of June. The Moni-

this transaction, known in France, are

LETTER
From JOHN Dickinson to r.. III. LEE,

SIR,
am greatly obliged to you for your favor
of the fourth Of last month.
The measure adopted by your assembly fo1
promoting a cores onGencc and harmony
with the other colonies, is certainly very pru-

cessful, If every colony Was influenced BY
the same well directed, undertaking zeal fol
the liberty and happiness Of America, that
actuates the assembly of Virginia.
Some good consequences hope, will re
suit from your generous attention to the in
terest of these provinces, however inattentivo
several of them may be to their best interest,
and blessing-freedom.
AS to the proceedings in Rhode Island,
they undoubtedly are the most insulting vlo-
lation of the rights of Americans, that could
be devised Some time in last February, l
think, received letter from several gentle
men of that place, who were appointed by
their assembly to answer message from the
governor, containing paragraphs of letter
to him from lord Dartmouth.
From these it appears, that the court to be
heldin Rhode Island, was formed /" forinq MS
into and making report to his majesty, of all The
circumstances relative to the attacking, plum.
dering and burning the Gaspee schooner =
delivering the offenders to the Care and Gus
tody of rear admiral Montague, or the COM
nander in chief of his majesty's ships Ii
North America for the time being, to b.,
brought 10 England to be tricd"-Callng upol
general Gage, who is to hold himself in rea-
dlness to send troops"
The paragraphs do not give any expires
authority to the commissioners to arrest, anG
commit" his majesty depending" as the
