My Lord-lt is only nscenMy, uuf
10 call the attention OF your Lordthip TO
review of the conduct of the government
Of the U. States To prove inc0ntrovertlbly
its unceahng anxiety to maintain the rela-
tons Of peace and fricndlhip with Great
BIitian. It's patience in iufftring the many
wrongs which it has received and It's per-
fverance m endeavouting, by amcable
means, 70 obtain redrefs, are known 10 the
world. Defpairing, at length, of receiv-
ing mis- redreiS from the iutice Of the Brit
Ilh government, to which it had 70 often
aPpliedin vain, and feeling that futher
lOrbcaranCe would be virtual furrrender
Of iuteref6 and rights cfcntail to the prof
perity and independence Of the natiOU con-
hded TO its protection, it has been compel
led 10 diich4rge ITS high duty by an appeal
TO arms. While, however, II regards this
course as the only enc which remained for
1t 10 Durfue with hope Of p!eierving any
portion of that kind of character which
continues the vital frength Of every na-
ton. yet IL u fix willing I'd give another
proof Of the fpirit which has uniformly
