Address to the Inhabitants of the Province of Que

In Provincial CONGRESS,
Ne11 York, June 2, IT'S.
FRIENDS AND CoUNTRYMEN-
The Parent of the Universe, hath divided this
earth amongst the children of men, and drawn out
the line of their habitations This great God having
ordained that all our joys and sorrows here below,
should proceed from The effect of human action upon
human beings Our situation has drawn together
this great bond of mutual dependence, and enabled
us to deal out injuries and kndnesses to each other
We consider you friends, and we feel for you,
the affection Of brothers.
The great question between Britain and her Colo
Wnetncr tHey are supJeS's, VI "Ae'HS ''~J
slaves.
The rights delivered down to US from our iorefa-
thcrs-the venerable laws of our countty, have sub
iected our own property own disposal nor hath
any earthly power a right to take it away Mankind
ought to be governed by the dictates ofjustce and not
by the hand Of oppression. The peaceabe enjoyment
Of what we yet call your own, and that liberty which
coners on every man the right of adoring his God in
the manner in which he humbly thinks most agreeable
to the divine nature these are the objects OF all our
labours, and of all our cares.
Ministerial tyranny hath endeavored, throughout
all these Colonies rend from the dearest rights
Of humanity And in the defence of those rights,
some p sons have taken certain forts in this Colony
which are near your frontiers.
We have heard that others have made an atat k up
on the post at ST. Johns attempt without coun-
sci or participation; and although have taken
sures for the defence of fortresses yet our only
intention is to prevent any hostile ncursons upon u.s.
by the troops in your Province.
Confident that the enemies of our King and his peo-
pie will take every opportunity to excite jealousies and
dscord amongst U.S. besecch you not TO be imposed
on by their articles, but call to your remembrance the
complicated horrors of barbarJus war. Avoid those
measures which must plunge both into Distress and
instead of consenng to become miserable slaves, ge
nerousy dare to participate with your subjects in the
sweets Of that security which is the glorious lot of
freedom.
We are, with sincere affection,
Your brethren and friends,
P. v. B. LIVINGSTON, President

The Canadians are friendly to u.s. and Join great

all other operations in that quarter will avail little.
We are in want of powder, and send this by ex-
press that you may forward me five tons, If you can
1t should come in boats that can be rowed, that no
delay may be made Several rascals of the first bat
talon have deserted to the enemy, and Captain Mott
of the same corps, shamefuly ran away from our
bomb battery when not one of the enemy was near
him.
Pray let the powder be sent to the care of Colonel
Van Setback, at Albany.

are soldiers; the rest, untrendly Canadians and
