App.1775.-  Hiftoryi774: 

c(Jtirts  fincc  the  commencement  of  the 
art,  nor  he  believed  would  during  its  con¬ 
tinuance. 

The  minifter  \ipon  this  occafion  found 
himfclf  in  one  of  ihofe  difagreeable  litua- 
lions,  which,  though  not  wholly  uncom¬ 
mon  in  very  late  times,  were  unknown  in 
former  ;  or  atleaftonly  known,  as  a  cer¬ 
tain  indication  of  the  immediate  down¬ 
fall  of  a  n'iniftry.  He  was  now  deferteel 
by  many  cf  thofe  whom  he  had  a  right  to 
confider  As  certain  friends,  and  w  ho  had 
iifually  gone  with  the  court  upon  other 
occalions  ;  and  was  accordingly  left  in  a 
comparatively  fmall  minority,  on  tlie  un¬ 
popular  fide  of  a  iiueftion  of  the  greateft 
national  importance,  and  in  w  hich  the  pu¬ 
blic  muft  always  think  thcmlelves  deeply 
interefted.  The  motion  was  carried  upon 
a  divifion  by  a  majority  of  more  than  tw’o 
to  one,  the  numbers  being  2.50  in  I'upport 
t)f  the  qutftion,  to  izi  who  oppofed. 
The  dirpohtioii  of  the  nation  was  fo 
ftrong  in  favour  of  this  bill,  that  very  few^ 
who  vt)ted  againft  it  could  venture  to 
fhew'  themfelves  at  a  general  elecftiou. 
The  bill  was  afterwards  carried  w’ith  eafe 
through  both  Houfes,  and  received  the 
royal  afl'ent  in  the  courfe  of  the  fellion. 

Many  were  now  fui  prlfed,  as  they  had 
been  already  upon  fome  firnilar  ticcafions, 
that  the  minifter  w  tiuld  venture  to  com- 
niit  himfelf  upon  a  queftlon  of  this  na¬ 
ture,  w  ithout  fome  more  certain  know  ¬ 
ledge  of  the  difpotition  of  the  HoUfe. 
However  this  was,  the  defeatwliich  he 
nuw'  futfered  was  not  attended  with  any 
furtlier  confequcnccs,  and  he  was  Unm 
lupported  by  the  urual  majority.  The 
le.ilou  indeed  was  arrived,  which  de¬ 
manded  all  his  Itrength  :  anil  rrcafures 
'^ere  to  be  purfiied,  which  involved  the 

hole  Hritifti  empire  in  their  couleque:!- 
ccs. 

A  few’  days  after  (he  qiieftron  on  the 
flren%ille  bill  was  carried,  the  Arneiican 
dilpatches  arrived,  and  brought  advice  of 
the  outrages  committed  on  iK»aiil  the  tia- 
Ihips  at  hoftoii.  This  intelligence  oeca- 
fioned,  March  7. a  inelV«gc  from  thet hronc

and  particularly  thofe  that  related  to  the 
tranfaiitions  at  Boftou,  in  which  thccon-

applauded,  and  th.it  of  the  prevailing  fac¬ 
tion  rcprclentCil  in  the  moll  atriK'iou^

gell,  or  good  policy  juftify,  forihefecu- 
rity  of  the  Kail- India  company's  proper¬ 
ty,  the  fafety  of  the  conlignees,  and  the 
preftrving  of  order  and  quiet  in  the  town. 
Every  civil  precaution  to  prevent  the  mif- 
chiefs  (hat  followed  hail  been  ufed  iii 
vain.  His  M.ijelly’s  council,  the  mili¬ 
tia,  ami  the  corps  of  c.ailets,  had  been  all 
I'eparately  applied  to,  for  their  H/Tillancc 
in  the  prefervation  of  the  public  peace, 
and  the  iiipport  of  the  laws  :  but  all  with¬ 
out  eftert  ;  tl.cy  vel'ured  or  ikclNied  do¬ 
ing  their  duty.  The  therilf  read  a  pro¬ 
clamation  to  the  fai^lion  at  their  town- 
meeting,  by  which  they  were  command¬ 
ed  to  break  up  tlu  ir  illegal  aftembly  ;  but 
the  proclamation  was  treated  with  the 
grcatell  contempt,  and  the  llierid  infult- 
ed  ill  the  grolfclt  manner  : 

That  lie  had  it  undonfitnUy  in  Itij

but  that  as  the  Icadiiig  men  in  Bollon  liail 
always  made  grc.il  compl.iints  of  the  iir- 
trrfjoiition  ot  the  .army  and  navy,  am! 
charged  all  ilillin  bances  of  every  fort  to 
their  account,  he,  with  great  prudence 
and  temperance,  determined  from  tb.c

rtpcal  haJ  quieted,  and  the  new  taxes  had 
inflamed  it  again;  that  even  the  partial  re¬ 
peal  offome  ot  the  new  taxes  liad  produced 
no  Tmall  degree  of  tranquillity  in  America, 
until  the  attempt  to  enforce  wl.at  remain- 
fd  by  the  late  F.aft- India  act,  liad  again 
thrown  the  empire  into  confiirion.  d'b.ey 
were  of  opinion,  that  this  aCt  of  conde- 
feenfion  would  ihew,  that  parliament 
meant  by  their  penal  to  punifn  ilif- 
orders  in  the  colonies  ;  but  tliat  tluy  re¬ 
garded  rdfo  their  privileges  and  their 
quiet.  The  got>d  efl'eef  of  their  rigour 
would  depend  on  a  lim^tnre  of  lenity. 
Tliry  were  i»r  opinion,  tliat  this  lenitive 
woulil  render  r'.gi>ur  unnrcelVary.  They 
therefore  earntllly  pi  t  lied  the  repeal  of 
the  obnoxious  tea-duty  that  rtinainevi, 
as  a  very  probable  method  of  relUiring 
tranquillity  and  obedience.  To  entorce 
this,  thiy  entered  into  a  large  field,  and 
the  merits  and  uie'cefs  of  tiie  feveral  j-lans 
of  eoh)ny -g«jvernment  for  feverrd  years 
Were  laid  open,  and  fully  elifcullVd. 

but  to  thefe  arguments  it  was  anfwer- 
cd,  That  fuppofing  the  tea-duty  id  eon- 
leinplible  an  objta^  as  was  reprefented, 
which  however  the  minider  denieil ;  yet 
a  repeal  at  this  time  would  iliew  fnch  a 
tlegree  of  wavering  and  ineonliltency  as 
would  defeat  the  good  efleds  of  tlie  \i* 
goroiis  ])lan,  wlfieh,  after  too  long  re- 
in'llhef?,  wasat  length  adopted :  I'lial  p;..  - 
iiament  ought  It)  Ihew,  that  it  will  lelax

thtrwife,  it  was  faid,  nothing  could  be

You  w’ill  commence  your  ruin  from  tlii

were  retired  into  the  count?^.  In  this 
fituation,  a  bill,  which  has  engaged  a 
great  deal  of  the  public  atte?uion,  was 
brought  into  the; Houle  of  Lords,  the 
bill  “  for  making  more  elTedtual  pvovilu)!! 
for  the  government  of  the  province*  of 
Qin  bec  in  North  America.” 

This  bill  palledthroiigh  that  Honfewith 
very  little,  if  any  t)blcrvation  :  but  when 
it  came  down  to  the  Houle  of  Commoiu;, 
it  met  with  a  very  ditVerent  reception. 
A  difpontion  iinmedialt  ly  appeared  in 
that  Hcuife  to  critieife  it  with  unnfnal 
feverity.  The  party  for  minillr\  rctined 
to  be  a  little  alarmeil  at  t'lis  fpirit  ;  part¬ 
ly  becaijfe,  frt>m  its  eafy  pail'age  throiigli 
the  Hoiife  of  Lords,  it  was  n«»t  lb  inneh 
cxpedled  ;  but  principally,  becaufe  they 
apprehendeil  it  would  create  more  iinca* 
iinefs  among  the  peoplcoutof  doors  than 
any  of  the  former  bills.  In  this  cafe,  the 
pallions  which  had  been  excited  by  the 
tliforders  in  America,  tliel  not  operate  in 
their  favour  ;  and  as  the  adt  had  for  a 
part  of  its  objuSts  clfablilhments  toueh- 
irg  religion,  it  was  far  more  likely  to 
give  occafion  for  popular  complaint.  The 
minillry  therefore  found  it  iieeefr,ny  not 
to  carry  things  with  fo  l.igh  a  hand  as  in 
the  preceding  bills.  They  admitted,  that 
this  bill  came  down  to  the  Houle  of  Coin- 
tnons  in  a  very  iinpeiTeeT  Hale  ;  and  that 
they  would  be  open  to  any  rtafonable  al- 
teratiofis  and  amendments:  This  plan 
might  be  difeiilTed  more  at  leifiirc  than 
that  for  regulating  the  colojjy  of  Malla- 
eluilet’s-bay :  In  that  cafe  it  was  necef- 
fary  to  fliew  a  degree  of  vigour  and  ileei- 
lion,  or  all  government  miglit  be  loft, 
and  all  order  confoinulcd  ;  but  here  tin  y 
Were  not  fo  imieh  prefled  :  for  though 
that  government  wanted  rrgnlatioii  ex¬ 
tremely,  yet  the  people  were  dirpofed  to 
peace  and  obedience.  A  good  eleal  of 
time  was  fpent  in  going  tlmough  this  af- 
tair  ;  great  nllercations  arofe  in  the  com¬ 
mittee  ;  many  witneHes  were  examined. 
Among  thefc  were  ficn.  Caileton,  go- 
vi  rnor  of  Canada  ;  .Mr  Hay,  chief  luftice 
ot  that  province ;  Mr  Ma/eres,  curlitor 
baron  ot  the  exche(|iier,  late  atte'rney* 
general  there,  and  agent  to  the  Lnglilii 
inhabitants  of  Canada  ;  Dr  Marriot,  ib.e 
King’s  advocate  -  general  in  Kiigland  ; 
Muni.  Lolblniere,  a  rrtneh  gentleman 
ot  confulerable  property  in  Canada.

on  the  fulc  of  the  Amcric.ins;  that  ihrcc 
to  one  in  Ireland  arc  on  their  lidc ;  that 
the  loliUers  and  lailors  feel  an  unwilling- 
ncls  to  the  Ici  vice  ;  that  you  never  will 
lind  the  f.unc  exertions  oi  fpirit  in  this  as 
in  other  wars.  I  fpeak  it  to  the  credit 
of  the  Meet  and  army  :  they  do  not  like 
to  butcher  men,  whom  the  greatell  cha¬

fpirit:  I  only  all'ert,  they  in  general  pro- 
ciaim  it  a  dii'agrccablc  fervicc  ;  molt  of 
the  army  feel  it  as  fuch  ;  that  minibcrs

ivattcrs  were  decided,  the  Americans 
woulel  renieinbcr  it,  ami  not  take  a  yard 
of  enir  linen,  nor  fend  us  any  of  llicir 
flour  in  any  extremity. 

Sir  J<’lm  Hl.upiiere  replied,  Tliat  tiao 
addrels  was  only  to  tefiify  (uar  loyalty, 
and  nothing  fartl’.er;  tla.at  the  original 
<’.ifpiite  was  now  loH  in  the  eonk<;neiiees  ; 
that  he  was  uci  empow  ered  to  call  the  A- 
inerieans  by  any  I'thei  name  than  that 
of  rebels ;  that  no  fupply  wonlil  be  afkcil 
or  expccicil  I'.n  tlieir  account  ;  and  that 
cm  the  Seottiili  rebellion,  and  all  other 
wars,  the  Commons  always  adil:\  H'ed  to 
deelarct heir  loyalty,  llendded,  Tha.t  .i- 
iiy  mention  in  the  Knglilli  lloufe  i)f  a 
rigiit  to  tax  Ireland,  was  only  the  imHi 
opinion  of  fomc  individuals,  not  tlaat  of 
government,  ami  was  wrong  bnimlcil  ; 
.ami  this  addrefs  wonhl  be  of  great  ctaeOt 
to  end  the  qu.arrel,  when  the  rebels  found 
they  eaniKl  have  nu  eounteiianec  iruni 
hence. 

Mr  Conolly  fpoke  ag.ain,  adding,  that 
the  promifemaiie  at  tlic  augment.ition,  of 
leaving  1 2,cco  men  always  here  for  our  de- 
tenee  was  now  broken. 

Mr  Serjeant  Coppingcr  enforced  the 
.arginm  nts  of  Sir  John  Id.arjiiicie,  on  the 
fame  grounds. 

Mr  Yelverton  faid,  he  cx])ce^eil  a  dil- 
ferent  motion  from  the  geiitleman  who 
made  it  ;  that  he  eoiild  not  call  the  A- 
merieans  rebels,  without  at  the  fame 
time  allowing  the  right  ami  awtliorlty 
of  the  Briiilli  parliament  to  t.ix  tliem  ; 
.and  no  11  ivery  can  be  more  pertVbl,  than 
to  be  taxeil  where  men  are  not  reprefeul- 
ed.  He  dwelt  on  the  fame  .arguments 
with  Mr  P.infonby  and  Mr  Ogle,  .and 
f.'.id  he  would  .agree  to  the  amendment 
rather  than  the  original  addrefs ;  but  had 
rather  every  thing  relative  to  America 
llioiild  be  ti)t.i11y  omitte'd. 

Mr  Fit/.gibbons,  in  a  very  few  woa*ds, 
tillitiei!  liis  dilTliit  lo  the  addrefs,  witli- 
eiit  entering  into  any  argu.a.ent.
