<p>P H I L A D E L P H I A, May 22.<br />PROCEEDINGS <em>of</em> ASSEMBLY<em> relating to the</em> EXPEDITION.</p>
The third Day of the first Month, called January 17 1755<br />Resolved, N. C. D.<br />That Isaac Norris Esq; Speaker, and Evan Morgan, Joseph Fox,<br />James Pemberton, James Wright, Joseph Armstrong, and John<br />Smith, Gentlemen, Members of this House, be, and they are here-<br />by nominated and empowered to take up and borrow, on the Credit<br />of this House, any Sum not exceeding Five Thousand Pounds, Law-<br />fun Money of this Province: to be by them laid out for purchasing<br />fresh Victual, and such other Necessaries as they, or a Majority of them, shall think,<br />expedient, for the Use of the King’s Troops at their Arrival: For all which Money,<br />borrows as aforesaid, they, the above-named Gentlemen, or any four of them, shall<br />give a Certificate or Certificates, as the Case may require, under their Hands to the<br />Person or Persons lending the fame, certifying that such Money was taken up and<br />borrowed for the King’s Use, in the Manner, and for the Purpose, directed by this Re-<br />solve. And this House will repay or take effectual{?} Care to secure the Re-payment of <br />of all and every Sum or Sums of Money, so as aforesaid borrowed, with Interest, if<br />necessary.
<p><em>A MESSAGE from the Governor to the assembly.</em></p>
<p><em>Gentlemen,</em></p>
<p>I HAVE the Pleasure to acquaint you, that Major General Braddock, who is ap<br />appointed, by his Majesty to command the Forces employed in North-America, is ap-<br />arrived in Virginia ; and as the Season for Action is approaching, I thought it necessary to<br />summon you together, that any Thing the General had to propose, might be considered<br />without Delay,; and that the Men, Provisions and Money, expected by his Majesty from<br />this Province towards carrying into Execution the Measures concerted for the general Ser-<br />vice of America, might be provided in Time.</p>
<p>Sir John St. Clair, Quarter-master General of his Majesty’s Forces in America, has<br />represented to nse{?} the Necessity of having Roads opened, from the inhabited Parts of this<br />Province Westward towards the Ohio, not only for the March of Troops, but to fa-<br />militate the supply of Provisions to such Forces as may be employed on the Frontiers of<br />this or the Neighboring Governments,- - - -I have therefore issued a Commission to a Num-<br />ber of Men acquainted with that Country, to reconnoiter and examine the fame, and to<br />mark out where such Roads may most conveniently be made, and to make Report to me<br />or their Proceedings, with an Estimate of their Expenses that will attend the Opening and<br />Clearing them ; and I recommend it to you to make a suitable Provision for this nec-<br />essary Service.</p>
<p>It is said, the Large Supply of Provisions that the French have received from these<br />Colonies, has enabled them to support the Forces employed in building Forts in his Ma-<br />jesty’s Territories, and will enable them, for some Time at least, to maintain the Troops<br />they have drawn together to defend them. - - - -And tho’ this Province has been hitherto<br />Very little concerned in that Supply, yet as it is necessary to prevent it for the future, I<br />have issued Orders to the Officers of the Customs for that Purpose, and make no Doubt <br />you will join with me in a Law effectually to hinder such an unnatural Trade.</p>
<p>The Eastern Governments, ever active in the Defense of their Country, and in main-<br />taining his Majesty’s just Rights and Dominions in America are exerting themselves<br />at this Juncture, and are desirous that this Province should join in the Operations<br />intended, to frustrate Encroachments; I therefore hope you will enable me to take such Part in<br />the Measures proposed, as becomes the Honor and Interest of a Province circumstances<br />as we are.</p>
<p>General Braddock, by his Letter of the 28th of last Month, which will be laid be<br />fore you, desires me to establish a Post between Philadelphia and Winchester, for the<br />forwarding his Dispatches; this he thinks may be of great Importance, during the<br />Operations of the Campaign, and you will be pleased to empower me to comply<br />with his Request.</p>
<p>His Majesty having, by one of his principal Secretaries of State, recommended it to<br />the several Provinces, to establish a command Fund for the Benefit of all the Colonies col-<br />electively, General Braddock now desires, that the Quota’s of the several Provinces, to-<br />wards that common Fund, may be lodged in the Hands of a Treasurer, who may have<br />Orders to answer his Demands ; as this is intended to expedite Business, and the General is<br />perfectly disinterested, and declares himself willing to give an Account of his Dis-<br />bursements, I hope you will put it in my Power to return a satisfactory Answer to his<br />Letter in that Particular.</p>
<p>I heartily recommend to you Vigor, Unanimity and Dispatch; in the Matters you will<br />have under you Consideration, that the happy Opportunity the Colonies, now have, by,<br />Means of his Majesty’s paternal Care, and generous Assurance of securing themselves for<br />ever against the Attempts of the French, may not be lost.</p>
<p><em>March 18, 1775.</em> ROBERT HUNTER MORRIS.</p>
<p><em>Gentlemen,</em></p>
<p>I OBSERVE by the printed Minutes of your Proceedings that you have inserted at<br />large Sir Thomas Robinson’s Letters to me of July the fifth, and October the twenty-sixth last, without my Knowledge or Consent.</p>
<p>The King’s commands signified by a Secretary of State may be very proper for the [torn, illegible]<br />Consideration of the different Parts of the Legislature, but no always to be commu[torn, illegible]<br />scatted to the Public; I think it therefore necessary, Gentlemen to caution you against [torn, illegible]<br />the like Practice for the future, and expect that no Letters or Papers communicated by [torn, illegible]<br />shall be printed without my previous Approbation; and as it may be of dangerous C [torn, illegible]<br />quince to publish those Letters, I desire a stop may be put to the Publication [torn, illegible]<br />Part of your Minutes which contains them.</p>
<p>I have Letters and other Papers, that relate to His Majesty’s Service, which [torn, illegible] <br />willingly communicate to you, but I do not think it safe to do it, till I [torn, illegible] <br />Assurance from you, that the Contents of them shall remain secret.</p>
<p><em>March 18, 1775.</em> ROBERT HUNTER.</p>
<p><em>A MESSAGE from the Governor to the Assembly</em></p>
<p><em>Gentlemen</em></p>
<p>On the tenth of January last I demanded by the Secretary, a [torn, illegible] <br />of your Proceedings which you promised to send me, but not [torn, illegible] <br />on the twenty-ninth of the same Month, by Letter to the Speaker [torn, illegible] <br />and have frequently, by the Secretary, reiterated my Request, [torn, illegible] <br />Sight of them till the twelfth Instant, about two Months after [torn, illegible] <br />only a Part of them were sent to me in Print, and I have no [torn, illegible] <br />them.[torn]</p>

<p>The keeping your Proceedings thus a Secret from me, I take to be a very unconsti-<br />tuitional and extraordinary Measure, liable to a Constitution that I do not choose at<br />present to put upon it; but only to acquaint you, that I expect you will order your Clerk<br />to attend me every Night with the Minutes of the Day, that I may know what is done<br />and doing in your House, and be able in Time to lay the same before his Majesty and his<br />Ministers, who expect to be regularly informed of the Measures taking by the Legisla-<br />tures of the Colonies.</p>

<p><em>Jan. 6.</em> The Scheme of a Lottery has been given to the House of Commons to raise<br />the Government 50,000 £ in which Scheme are 54 Prizes of 10,000 £ each. The<br />whole Lottery to consist of a Million of Tickets at one Guinea each.</p>
<p><em>April 9.</em> On Monday the Duke of Mirepoix, Ambassador from France, took his <br />Leave of His Majesty in Order to return Home.</p>
<p><em>April 11.</em> Yesterday Morning Walkinshaw, who was taken up in Scotland for trea-<br />sonable Practices, was brought to Town under a Guard of six Dragoons, and commit-<br />ted to the Car of Mr. Carrington, one of his Majesty’s Messengers.</p>
<p><em>April 12.</em> We hear that twelve ships of the Line are sailed from Portsmouth<br />under the Command of Admiral Hawlac.</p>
<p>And that 25 more Men of War of the Line, are to be completely fitted up, to be<br />ready on any Emergency.</p>
<p>’Tis reported that some Regiments of Dragoons, & c. Will encamp on Blackheath<br />this Summer.</p>
<p>The Regiment of Scotch Grey Dragoons, who were on their March to Scotland,<br />are countermanded, and are on their March from Lancashire, to Suffex and Kent.</p>
<p>We hear that his Majesty intends to make a considerable Augmentation to his Troops<br />in his Electoral Dominions.</p>
<p>We hear from Carmarthen in South Wales that the Fraternity of Free and Accepted<br />Masons in that Place, have ordered their Treasurer to give twenty Shillings (over and<br />above his Majesty’s Bounty) to every able-bodies Seaman within the Port of Armarthen,<br />who shall voluntarily enter to serve in his Majesty’s Navy on or before the 25th<br />Instant.</p>
<p>All the Officers of the Guards, & c. Have received Orders to get their Field Equi-<br />pages, ready with all possible Expedition.</p>
<p>The Report of his Excellency the Duke de Mirepoix’s having taken Leave of this<br />Court, as was mentioned in the daily Papers; is void of all Foundation. For</p>
<p>On Monday Morning at four o’clock one of his Excellency’s Domestics was dispatched<br />express for Versailles, who is expected would arrive there on Thursday Night.</p>
<p>Thursday, the 24 Inst. his Majesty was pleased to appoint the Right Hon. James Lord<br />Tyrawley to be Col. of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, and at the same Time<br />to appoint the Right Hon. George Earl of Albemarle to be Colonel of his Majesty’s own<br />Regiment of Dragoons late commanded by Lord Tyrawley.</p>
<p>His Majesty’s 20th Regiment of Foot (late Lord Albemarle’s) is disposed of; but the<br />King’s Aid-de-camps are not yet filled up, which are expected before his Majesty goes<br />abroad, which he <em>certainly</em> does this Month, notwithstanding it has been <em>at certainly</em> af-<br />forted to the contrary.</p>
<p><em>April 14.</em> Advice has been received that fix Men of War are failed from Brest, with<br />a Number of Land Forces on Board; and it supported by some that they are destined<br />for America. Others suppose that they are gone to make an Attempt our defenseless<br />Sugar-Islands; for the author of the Miscellaneous Essay on the Courses pursued by<br />Great-Britain in Regard to her Colonies (whose Knowledge of our American Affairs<br />appears to be greatly superior to that of most Writers) says that the French have been<br />for some time providing Stores of Arms and Ammunition at Martinico, with a View to<br />attack our Islands in the West-Indies, in Case of a War breaking out.</p>
<p>Six Men of War, from 50 to 90 Guns; are to sail directly for Jamaica, under the<br />Command of Commodore Stevens.</p>
<p>The London Gazette confirms the Appointment of Lord Tyrawley to be Colonel of the<br />late Lord Albemarles’s Regiment of Foot; of Capt. G. L. Hall, of Ancram’s Dra-<br />goons, to be Major of Sir J. Cope’s Dragoons; and of Capt. Lieut. Bell, of Mordaunt’s,<br />to succeed Capt. Hall.</p>
<p><em>Plymouth, April 4.</em> The Otter Sloop, Capt. Graves, arrived this Day from a Cruise<br />of about ten Day: and is reported that she hath been off the Harbour of Brest,<br />where been [illegible, worn off] been, two French Men of War weighed Anchor and pursued the Otter,<br />who thereupon made Sail.</p>

<p>[ineligible, worn], that the King of Sardinia is a Party in the Treaty said to be<br />concluded between our Court and that of Spain; and what gives Foundation for such a<br />Conjecture is, the particular Respect that has been shewn of late to the Minister from<br />the Court of Turin.”</p>
<p><em>Extract of a Letter from Portsmouth, April 9.</em></p>
<p>”Last Night arrived Admiral Boscawen, and this Morning hoisted his Flag on Board<br />the Nottingham, till the Torbay arrives, Crowds of Nobility and Gentry daily come to<br />this town to view the Fleet at Spithead, which consists of twenty-six Men of War.”</p>

<p><em>May12.</em> Yesterday Capt. Kirkwood arrived here in about nine Weeks from London, and<br />has brought with him Arms and other Accoutrements for the Provincial Troops, lately<br />raised, who have impatiently waited here several Weeks for their Arrival He has also<br />brought a large Quantity of Powder. Capt. Trout for this port came out with Capt.<br />Kirkland, and hourly expected.</p>
<p>By a Vessel from Halifax we are informed, that the Commander of his Majesty’s Sloop of War the Vulture, stationed there, lately died very suddenly, in his Cabin.</p>
<p>And that Capt. Cobb, in a Sloop in the Governments Service, had taken a French<br />Schooner going to Louisburg to St. John’s, with 1100 Barrels of Flour, a Number<br />of Cannon and other warlike Stores on Board, all which were condemned at Halifax.<br />Also, that Capt. Cobb had taken a Vessel belonging to (our) Plymouth, laden with<br />Provisions, which was going to trade with the French ; but as both Vessel and Cargo have<br />been condemned and sold, ’tis tho’t the Owner will make but an indifferent Voyage<br />on’t - - - - May all such Traders meet with the same Fate.</p>
<p><em>May 15.</em> We hear from New-Hopkington, in the Government of New-Hampshire,<br />that on Monday last a Man and a Boy were taken Prisoners there, by five Indians : But<br />it happen’d, that in about 2 Hours after they were met with by nine Men, who were out on a Scout : One of the Indians discovering the English near them, held up two of<br />his Fingers and whistled, which was a Signal to the rest ; whereupon they rose from their<br />Ambush, and fir’d on the English, but did no Execution.——The English pursed them,<br />retold the Captives, and the Indians made off</p>
<p>Capt. Kirkwood has brought Two Thousand Stand of Arms, and other Accoutre-<br />cents for the Provincial Regiments which have been raised here. He has also brought<br />a large Quantity of Powder.</p>
<p><em>May 19.</em> Saturday last Capt. Trout arrived here from London but has brought no<br />later News than we had by Capt. Kirkwood. He has brought several hundred Barrels of<br />Gunpowder, and a Gentleman is come Passenger with him who is Paymaster General<br />of the Forces now on Foot in America, who has brought Fourteen Thousand Pounds<br />Sterling in Cash for their Use.</p>
<p><em>Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Cadiz, to his Friend in Boston, dated March 29</em></p>
<p><em>1755</em></p>
<p>The remaining Effects of the Spanish Ship so unjustly detained at New-London,<br />arrived here lately under the Convoy of his Brittanick Majesty’s Ship the Tryton ;<br />which Event has been very satisfactory to this Commerce in general, has been well re-<br />ceived by the King of Spain, and accordingly signified to the Commander Matthew Whit-<br />well, Esq; by Sir Benjamin Keene, his Majesty’s Minister at Madrid ; and we are as-<br />sured, that those there, who are concerned in the Pillage, will be obliged to pay the<br />last Farthing, to the entire Satisfaction of the Proprietors, which we dare say, as you<br />interest yourself in the Honor of our Colonies, you will be pleased to hear, as it may<br />prevent for the future such barbarous Proceedings, which tend to justify the Depreda-<br />tons which we complain of from Time to Time.</p>
<p>We hear by a Person which left Fort Halifax the 4 <sup>th</sup> Instant, that said Day two of<br />the Norridgewalke Tribe of Indians (who were concerned in the Murder of some of our<br />Men last Fall) came there were very desirous of making Peace.</p>
<p>This Morning set sail under the Convoy of three Men of War, 35 Sail of Transports,<br />having on Board upwards of 2000 Forces, which have been raised here, bound to the Eastward.</p>
<p><em>W I L L I A M S B U R G</em></p>
<p><em>Extract of a Letter from a Merchant in London, dated April 19.</em></p>
<p>”The Preparations for War continue, and the Opinion prevails that a Rupture is now<br />inevitable.—We have about 30 Sail of Men of War fit for Sea, and more compleating<br />every Day.—His Majesty sent a Message the other Day to the Parliament for a Supply of<br />every Day.—-His Majesty sent a Message the other Day to the Parliament for Supply of<br />800,000 to defray the extraordinary Expenses—The House immediately and unani-<br />mousy voted him a Million, to be raised by Way of Lottery, and promise to defend him<br />with their Lives and Fortunes in Support of the Nations’ undoubted Rights—-’Tis now<br />said, with Assurance, that the King is going Abroad, the Yachts being ready at the<br />Nore .——The House of Commons have agreed, early next Session, to take into Considera-<br />ion the Affair of the Drawbacks on foreign Linens ; and very strong Parties are already<br />formed to obtain an Act, that they shall be no longer payable.—-If timely Application is<br />not made from the Colonies in Opposition thereto, it will probably pass into a Law——<br />The Drawback on Oz(?)nabrigs, and most other Sorts of narrow German Linens, is Three<br />Half-Pence per Ell, on Yard wide, and other broad Sorts very near Four-Pence, and on<br />Holland and Flanders Linen Nine-pence Half-penny per Ell ; and the not allowing them<br />for the future would consequently occasion those Linens to come so much dearer from<br />England than they now do.—-Our home Manufactures are so far from being depended on<br />for supplying our own Consumption, and the Plantations, that 32 Millions of Yards are<br />still annually wanted and imported from foreign Parts ; 16 Millions whereof are con-<br />sured in England, and near 6 Millions exported to the Colonies—-From 1749 to 1753<br />the Prices of Linens abroad were excessively dear, and during all that Time, the Scotch<br />and Irish had a Bounty of Three Half pence per Yard on Exportation, which is since<br />ceased : Had they been able to make a sufficient Quantity, here was the most favorable<br />Opportunity they could possibly expect, to exert themselves in supplying our Colonies ; <br />but, notwithstanding all these Advantages, they could not, during that Time, furnish<br />more than 1-8th Part of their Consumption of white and brown Linens ; How then can they be supported to be able to do it, now the Bounty is no longer payable, and when an extraordinary Demand would greatly enhance the Prices ?——If such a Law should pass<br />the heavy Duties here payable on Linens would be extended to the West-Indies ; which<br />will not only prove a heavy additional Burthen on the necessary Article of Clothing to<br />the Poor as well as the Rich, but must also tend to the Prejudice of the fair Trader,<br />by the great Encouragement given to the Smuggling in of these Goods, which will not<br />think themselves so far interested in this Affair, that proper Instructions will, with all<br />Expedition, be given to their respective Agents, and Representations made to the Lords<br />Commissioners of Trade, in Order to prevent the ill Consequences of its being enforced<br />by Law. The Merchants here will think it their Duty, to co-operate with them, in<br />Order to prevent so heavy an Imposition and am in hopes that our united Endeavors may<br />be able to prevent this Innovation.”</p>
<p>The <em>Lydia,</em> Capt. <em>Teage,</em> is arrived in <em>York</em> River, from <em>London;</em> she spoke with his<br />Majesty’s Ship <em>Triton,</em> Capt. <em>Whitwell,</em> going up the <em>English</em> Channel, all well on board.[Illegible, rest of column torn]</p>
