'I'll I I 'A 5 6 June MONITOR Xf. IN 1 ivi AiL witn tne uncercit zeai ror year prw fpcrity an4 happinefs, founded, as they intfvirably are, on the prefeVvation of our liberties, I havd been attentively watching of events, at this dangirou period and obtaining the beft intel from Britain, that I might efdme my office of laying be bteyott the intention of thof, who would by fraud or force an jjjiilate our free conftitution. Jean cow'furniih you with filch an account of things from the ffoft authentic information, as will, I hambly conceive, perfuade pUj that the moft fatal meafures are meditated and executing a jaiaft the liberties of America meafures which we arexalled upon, by every thing facred and dear to us, to fruftrate by a firm ad unanimous oppofition. On the firft day of this fefiion of Parliament, Mr. Hans Stanly aMinifterial man, in feconding the motion for an addrafs to King, declared, that the late duty at waslaid exprefly to" iring the queftion of right to a derifion, and that care had been taken to draw the troops from the frontiers to the great towns, to iafure its fuccefs.

My Lord North, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, gave it, as lis opinion, that they ought to have America proftrate at their fcet, before they even deigned to liften to her complaints. In both Houfes of Parliament, every falfe and inflammatory letter, from Governor Bernard, and the Commifiioners of theCu jbnrt, is prefented, perufed, and heard with applaufe while every thing, that might detect them, and vindicate us, is carefully fipprsfled; a fate which has alfo attended our Petition, MemD nl and Remonftrance. It is not, that the Parliament tpi'nted with the exiftence of fuch papers, but the Minifhy in ftmthe Lords and Commons, they do not think proper to pre fwtthem, unlefs calkd for at the fame time they arefecure of a majority againft any fuch motion. By this manoeuvre they art fjUy fecure themfelres from any futuro Parliamentary cenfure Ind withhold that evidence, which would manifefl: the fallacy of ticirreprefenting the oppolition in America as partial and factious. The fentiments at Court, it may be depended' on, are moft unfavourable to our rights and no one is countenanced there, who 4oe pot echo abfoluttf fubmiifion in the fubjcfl.

Widi the prefcnt Minifters, every pernicious tale bearer, from AfiiSric a is heafd, applaudtd and believed every relator of truth indeed, but not credited. The agnt for the Matfachufetts Iay5: was directed to preterit a petition from the Delaware Counts which, when' he pttfented, the Secretary of State received, ith this oHervation I fuppofe, Sir. this was drawn up at ibme Hse houfe in ajid fent down for them to gn. Sach is the'naanery the conftitutioaal complaints of the jeople are treated. the and raaftuacurerft ve can have 1x9 hope, but S3 we make them Wy Cnee; otherwife, they move nly to pay ib sir court.

Mr. G'renvillev's party is therefore in vioknt dpobfttion to the pre ifent Minifiry, on every queftion but tht ef Americav Thelaft party, kd by our firm and unalterable fKend 'Lord 5hlrne are the only men, who, on the great ground liberty and the cenftitution, 'ftiU think' and maintain the Parliament has no right to tax us; 'they are true inends to both. countries on virtuous principles, and iaa Court more favourable to the liberty of the fubject, might libpe for countenance and opportunity to fave the conftitution 'from ruin, and the people fronvopprefiion. Bit at there is little profpecl: of their ever gaining fuch afcendency in admini ftration', as will enable thenito compleat their benevolent purpofes ft that allUve can1 expeft from them, is to declaim, without cea ng, againft meafures they cannot prevent.

We have fee a Lord Shclburne in adminiftration but fingle againft all the foes of America, therefore incapable of ftemming the oppreffive torrent. Such, my countrymen; is the true ftate of affairs in Great Britain, from which I cannot but obferve, that the prefervation of Out liberties depends wholly wpos your wifdoro refoludoa'and virtue. How invaluable a pofTemon liherty effential to the. fecurity cf every blefing you can hopeM enjoy yourfelves, or jueath to your pofterity, has been already ft) fully explained, that I need not dwell "upon it now 5 nor will1 1 entertain a doubt, that any among you" will tamely fee it violated, cr hefitate to op poft, whenever it fhallj be invaded. The eyes of all Europeare tow turned upon America, and the friends to freedom expeitiuch a conduct from you, a becomes a people animated with the facred fpirit of liberty, and impreilfcd wih.a juft fenfe of your conftitu tional rights.

That the rhcani cf vmdkatixg your infuUed Tibertiei are in your power, cannot be doubted; and' hope time wiila ftify me in thinking your rrfolu lion to ufe them, is ecrually unque iticnable.
