SIR,
Your letter Of the 25th of July is but
Just como to my hands, as have been in
the country for some weeks past; or l
should not have neglected to acknowledge
in the most respectful manner, my hav-.
ing received a faver, by which | think
myself much obliged.
/ thank you, Sir, for your kindness in
commencing a correspondence, which
hope, may contribute in some degree, to
the good purposes you mention, & which
l am sure, will be agreeable to myself.
Our province is at length reyiying from
that dangerous inactivity, into which it
has been too long thrown, by the fatality
of our parties. instructions to our repre-
sentatives have been signed by great
majority in this city; and l think that
yon and all lovers of the common liberty
and happiness, may expect in September,
to find the weight of this province firmly
Joined to the general cause.
The unjust system," as you very
properly term it, is now so evident, and
the example of the other colonies, SO ami
mating, that the private influence of sell
fish individuals, is daily giving ground
before sentiments more generous, & mea-
sures more honest.
We have not yet any certain accounts
from Britain, concerning the opinions en-
tertained there Of our conduct. Some in
distinct intelligence, we have received,
that we shall be we'll supported, and that
the act imposing duties, is regarded as
nearly akin to the Stamp Act.
Permit me to beg. Sir, that you will be
so good as to present my compliments with
great respect to your brothers.
am, with the sincerest esteem, Sir.
your most obedient and most humble SER
want.

Mr.. PICKERING'S ADDRESS
TO THE
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES
No. XVIII

FELLOW CITIZENs--
In former address made remark
of this kind: That Great Britain, pres
sed by war unexampled in the annals Of
the world--all Europe being leagued, a
gainst her, Spain and Portugal excepted.
which she was defending with her blood
and treasure--was extremely unwilling to
have the United States added to the num-
Der of her enemies. And that partly from
a consideration Of her interests, and partly
from the just contempt her government
must have felt for the men who SO ruin
ously and disgracefully administered ours
(although it is impossible the British go
vernmcnt should feel for them more con-
tempt than the French emperor has e;r-
pressed and dashed in their ,taces) --she
shut her eyes against, or did not think it
expedient to resent, their glazing PARTIAL
ties towards her formidable. enemy, and
amid multiplied professions of amicable
dispositions, their marked ill-will and in
iurious acts towards herself. These pro-
yocations on one side, and forbearance on
the other, have served only to encourage
their aggravated repetition; until at length
our government have ventured to commit
direct act Of rar. know that our ad-
ministration will say that the action be-
tween their frigate and the British sloop
of war took place in the dark, when COM
modore Rodgers could not know what ship
he fought; their newspaper has already
made their apology; or rather their JUS
LITIGATION. s. We understand. (says the
National Intelligencer) that the conduct
of commodore Rodgers, in repelling and
chastising the attack so canselessty and
rashly made on the United States frigate
President, by the British sloop of war the
Little Belt" has the appreciation of the
president of the United States. And there
fore it was that went into so minute an
examination of the commOdore's official
report of this affair; and l trust it has
appeared that the action with the Lit
tie Belt was not accidental and by mis-
take; hut the consequence Of special Or
ders intended to produce, not indeed pre-
cisely the action with the Little Belt, but
an action with British ship of war; to
be brought on, however, in such manner
as might enable them to justify it to the
great majority of the people, whom for a
series of years they had found ready i'm
plicitly to believe their assertions. If
commodore Rodgers had met with the
British frigate Guerrier, instead of the
