' E very appearance of an accc innovation is likfcly to take place in 12 r 18 months, as three comrnifCeners arc to go from here, and the two commanders in chief in America, -are the peo ple nominated to fettle it on any terms hort ol independence; ?r,d I bflieve.ihey h we plenary powers futScienf, if it is nut to be ob tained any otherways, to grant it. The council of this nation were never directed by men in whom the people put fo little, con fldence as at this time. The general cry is, Peace with Amr rica on 2n term." Many petiticrs have been preftnted to the throne for a removal of the prtfent men in office, but, whether a change will ttke place, remains yet a dr.ubr. We are under preat apprehenfions of a French invafion. As the djfpute is near ly at a clofe, thefe peorje who have left America with tha army, will be taken intr) confidcration.
