X -.- . a -. iirtd laiJc-n on tLicnerai i5ufL"vne & army. wncn tne news or mat melaticii iy ecui arriteu, i was ttrucic, that the time of Dr. poied. terms was p-tt, and that the h:it point to be done was the ra.fn.g of new levies, and a new foice. Tht confedqehcti 61 that mi icnuoe were u: known ; the general idea was, thac the viCiurioua arin w,ou;d" march to iniiaueiphia, ano that, fi.itt.ed with victo ry, a general enlargement mij.ht have happened, which would have been decifie. 1 tnou ht it necetTary, tiejcioret to wart till tfa id oi the campaign, tin i had a knowledge of ail the e eents of it ; it i? ended, and nothing d.c.live has hpj. eneu. The forces of W fhington arc not iuincieut to make in'm q iit nis defensive plan. Uu; ai my is ;reat, tiur navy is great,- our men in heoiih, in faints, and weil'iupDHed ; but the r.ftance of A merica is grea.er, and the war ha tailed hnricv than was at ftrii apprehended, much l.aiger tha.n any friena to this country could w lh, and i do not think that it will end this campaign. I ihinK tnat our forces are iufiicient to compel Arrserica to ac cept of reafortable terms ; but I make my proportion on tiiis giound, that it is better to offer a cocceiiion to the coionits now, which may end the cciueii within the year, than to con tinue the war for three or fbnr years longer, though with the af furance of complete conquefr. in the prefent iituation of afFuiis Only three propofitions can be made. 1. To ltrengthreu ct:r loice, and continue the war .upon the preient plan. L .-., t fl. To recall it from America,1 And, 111. To offer terms of conciliation to her. "v" The Jirft propofttion is attended with too reat an expenreof men ana money; an expence Wiiich.co cjaett itieif wuid not balance. The fecond is, to fubferibe td the indepenoncy of America. The third is that which appears to me to be tiie celt and wifelt. 1 never thought of propofing an uhimatnm to A merica. In a contcll which con rains fo many nice and difficult points, fo many matters which demand future remedies with out any perfon prefent on th part of" the colon ies, that would' He impoffible and impracticable. Whatever you gfve;, uniefs, it ia firft fettled and agreed on by perfons aurhonft d by the colo nies, might be given in Vain. The danger aifb of publifhing fuch an ultimatum would be great; every wo-d would be criti cally examined by jealous powers, and receive an invidious and falfe conftruction, or unjuft comment. Every propofition would be blaited before it reach 'd America. If it got there entire, the colonics, by refuiing on condition, vcaid deflro;' ail. ' I wHhf
