He fp ke ilrcnu rcfly of tht rtt of admiral H we as a commander, not only from hi tXHtdod in the prelent war,, but from his own perfonal knowledge of hira. The difficulties he mult have met in his paf fage from New York co the Blk were numerous and immenfe ; e: he uudcrllocd this gallant i fficer, equipped as a common far lor with a jacket and trowf rs, went himfcif into the boats, ird with the plumb in hi 1-ads, conduced a large fleet op Chefaoer k Bav, fhr uh ftioal? and obltruCiiuns, which it was thu ht by able officers were imp-act cable to get over. But he denied that any real advantage had been acquired by th fe great a;hievements ; he denied that our trade was in a flourilhing f.te. We had 1 oil the Medi erranean trade; the African trade; and even oar heme trade was invaded ; for very iately a number Of French bottoms had been employed to carry our own goods from the river Thame; ; and as the young m-mber mutt certain ly be a man of learning, he ought to have kn.wn that a rife in the intertit of monev, is a certain fign of the decay of trade.

If any material cafe required explanation, he wcuid have been m .ft ready to give it all the light in his power ; hm he ac knowledged himfelf totally in the dark with regard to the prefent Hate of our campaign in America. He defended General Ba goyne's proclamacion. He in lifted tht-re was nothing cf crul: intended by it. The general had taken every' pcfiloie method prevent the cruel ravages of the Indians.
