After which his Excellency delivered to both he jfes of the Ptovnrs* Parliament the following SPEECH : Gentlemen ofih Legi/J<>tive Cw$ctf, and ^^ Gentle-fn'en cf the Houfe of AJfembly, » A fter fo long and fo laborious a feffion,* 1 feel great pleaforc in bein£ able to releafe you from any further attendance', and that you can return to your conftituents wuhtbc fatisfaftory confeioui'nefs of not having neg- lefted their fcrvice, or ovti looked their in- tcrcfts, in the various afts that you have pre- ftntcd to me for his Majefly's iffent* Upon the flatc of our public affairs, the difficult v of communication with Europe has, this winter, appeared to be greater than uiu- a!,probably owing to the impediments thrown iu the way of the American commerce, by the afts of their government. I have there- fire little to communicate. The feelings, which would otherwife have attended rhe much lamented death of an amiable Princefs, were a'mo 11 loft, in the contemplation of the affiifttng calamity by which that event was followed, in the alarming indifpofition of our revered fovercign. Let us place our confi¬ dence mU)c mercy of God, and trull that he will, in his gracious <lifpenfation, realize thofe hope* that arc held out to ua by the lad accounts that we have received, of his be¬ ing fpeedily teftorcd in health, to his grate- fj pejj>!e. It is fcarcely necelTary that I fhould 6b- ferve upo'i a! new aft of non-fntcrcourfe or non-importation with refpeft to G. Britain, which has parted in the American congrefs. 1'v what 1 can under (land, the bell of their lawyers are divided in their opinion as to its operation. With us, however, I fear there can be no difference of fentrment as to its be¬ ing a branch of that fyflem of pa tfal and ir¬ ritating policy which Ins fo long marked their public proceedings towards ua. The bill which' you have fo wifely paffed, for pre¬ venting the nefarious traffic that has been but too long carried on, in the forgery of their bank notes, will at leall prove, that you have not fuffered any fentiment of refentment to weigh again!! thofe principles of liberal juilice with which you arc at all time* ani¬ mated towards thsm. I have, gentlemen, to thank you, for the provision that has been made for the payment of the expenditure, that has been incurred, in ihs providing a habitation for your gover¬ nor, beyond the fum originally voted for the purpofe. Hiving taken this Hep upon rny- ielf, in the confidence I placed in the liber¬ ality of Parliament, I feel however fome anx¬ iety, that the good people of the Province fhould know, that the expenditure has been condufted, by the gentlemen appointed to aft as commiflioners, with an economy, that has faved fome th.iufands of pounds, and.w'th refpeft to myfelf, un ier the knowledge, that there exiftel funis, by which it could be an- fwered, without laying any additional bur¬ then upon them. ht ; it wl. ;and of the magiftracy, with the fcarcely lefs powerful influence of example and of advice In the well difpofed, and better informed, to fcounteraft their efFefts, to prefervc the pub* \\c morals from fadd en relaxation, and finally, \o bar the entry to crime and depravity. A large traft of country hitherto little known has been opened to you ; its inhabit¬ ants are induilrious, and intelligent, and they tuhivate their lands, with a productive ener¬ gy, well calculated to incrc'afe the refources &f the colony. Let them not on thefe ground* be objrfts of envy or of jealoufy ; rather let then* be examples, tb be carefully watched and imitated, till in the whole prov¬ ince, no other difference of fertility (hall ap¬ pear, but what may arife from variety of loil, br difference of climate. And now gentlemen, I have only further :to recommend, that as in an early part of the TeHion, you yonrfelves took occaiion to ob- fcrve on the difficulty of the tafk, you will proportionally exert your bed endeavors to do away all miftruft and animofity from a- mong yourfelvcs ; while thefe are fuffered to fremairi, all exertion for the public good mud be palfied. No bar can exifl to a cordial union—religious differences prefent none— intolerance is not the difpofition of the pref¬ ent times, and living under one government, enjoying equally its ptot<°ftion, and irs fof- tering care, in the mutual intercourfe of kind- nefs and benevolence, all others will be foun d to be ideal I am earnell in firs advice, gen¬ tlemen. It is probably the ialt legacy of a verv fin cere well wiflier, who if he lives to r ft r teach the preferice of his Sovereign, would indeed prefent himfelf with'the proud cer¬ tainty of obtaining his approbation, if he could conclude his report of his adminiftra- tion, with faying, I found, Sire, the portion of 5'onr fobjefts that you committed to my charge, divided among themfelves, viewing each other with miftruft and jealoufy, and animated as they fuppufed by feparate inter- efts. I left, them, Sire, cordially united, in the bonds of reciprocal cfteem and confidence, and rivalling each other only in affeftionate attachment to your Majefly's government, and in generous exertions for the putflic gond. Then the Hon. Speaker of the Legifla- tfve Council fiiid : Gentlemen of the, Lcgijlat'tvs Council, and Gentlemen of the Houfe of Ajfimbly% it is his Excellency the Governor in Chief's will that this Provincial Parliament be pro¬ rogued until Monday the 29th of April next, and chis Provincial Parliament is prorogued until the 29th day of April next accordingly. LONDON PARAGRAPHS. About a fortnight ago, as the ftage, on its way from Pre Hon to Manchefter, was changing horfes :<♦ Chorley, at twelve at night, the frefli horfes having been put to, a paftenger went to fetch fome ft raw to fit upon, when the horfes fct off, in fpite of the coachman, guard, and three paiTcngers ? the coachman followed on foot,and the guard and paflengers in a poft chaife. The horfes fteadily pnrfued their courfe until they arriv¬ ed at Red-bank Brow, one mile from Chor¬ ley, where they flopped, as is ufual, while one of the wheels is locked. Here a coun¬ tryman on the road called out to be taken up, and thinking the coachman was infide, fcated himfelf in the guard's roftrurn, and crying " go on !" off went the horfes again down hill at full fpeed, never flopping before they arrived at the Elephant and Caftle, 4 miles further, where the coach has conllantly occafion to flay a fhort time ; the country¬ man then alighted, and proceeded to invite the coachman to a glafs, when all he found infide was the fourth paffehger, who had been afteep all the time.
