INTEODUOTION. 
 
 fITIS curious Orderly Book, which presents every 
 detail of the administration and discipline of 
 
 the Eng'lish Army in the siege of Boston, 
 has been happily preserved for the use of Historians, 
 among the American manuscripts in the Library of 
 the Ro}al Institution, in London. 
 
 The existence of this original Manuscript was 
 known to Dr. Jared Sparks and to Mr. Bancroft, 
 who referred to it, and made use of it in some 
 few details. What they have taken from it, has 
 been enough to shew how curious is the light which 
 it throws on one of the most interesting periods of 
 American history. While it existed only in manu- 
 script, however, it was practically useless. Mr. B. F. 
 Stevens, therefore, so soon as he examined it, requested 
 and obtained the permission of the Managers of the 
 Koyal Institution to have a careful and complete copy 
 of it made under the supervision of Mr. Benjamin 
 Vincent, their very efficient, talented, and courteous 
 Librarian, by his able assistant Mr. Henry Young, 
 and this copy is now printed. 
 
 Strictly the book is Gen' Howe's Orderly Bf^ok, 
 begun on the day of the Battle of Bunker Ilill. 
 Into this bonk, in the regular line of dail}' duty, 
 are copied, for the information of Howe's separate 
 command at Charlcstown, the general orders of his 
 superior in rank, General Gage. On the 10th of 
 October, 1775, however, the chief command passed 
 from Gage to Howe. After that period, this book

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 contains tho originals of IIowo's general orders to 
 the whole English Army in Boston. 
 
 General Clinton having been appointed to take 
 command of tho post at Charlestown, the special 
 ordcu's of that garrison no longer appear in this 
 volume. 
 
 It has been thought best to preserve the spelling 
 and punctuation, even when evidently incorrect. 
 The accurate student will be glad to know that 
 what he has under his eye has not been changed 
 in any manner from the original. The proof-sheets, 
 indeed, have been carefully corrected from the original 
 manuscript in tho Library of the Royal Institution. 
 
 Genkkal Sill William Howe, whose orders to 
 the soldiers in his coumiand make up the greater 
 part of this book, was the son of the second Viscount 
 Ilowe. The family was an English family of dis- 
 tinction in Somerset, Wilts, and Dorset for several 
 generations. 
 
 The great great grandfather of Sir William 
 Howe was John Grubham Howe, of the county of 
 Notts, one of two brothers who were both knighted 
 by Charles II., in "due recompense for their respective 
 services." 
 
 John Grubham Howe married Annabella, the 
 youngest of thi-ee illegitimate daughters of Emanuel 
 Scrope, Earl of Sunderland. The lady was afterwards 
 legitimatiscd by Act of Parliament, and became Lady 
 Ainiabolla Howe. Her husband's family became 
 possessed of the portion of the Scrope Estate situated 
 in Notts. Sir John Grubham Howe left four sons. 
 The second, John, was the ancestor of the Lords 
 Chedworth, a title now extinct. 
 
 ScuoPE the oldest son, was the grandfather of 
 Gen. Sir AVilllui Howe, the author of these general 
 orders. 
 
INTRODUCTIOS. V 
 
 A fourth son, Emrtiiuel, married Huporta, the 
 natural clau}j;liter of Prince Uuport, third .son of 
 Frederic, called Kin<; of liohoniia, by Elizabeth, 
 daUji^htor of James I. Emani'kl Howk was a <j:encral 
 in the English Army, and was Envoy Extraordinary 
 to the i'^lector of Hanover, afterwards (Jeori^je I., "and 
 from this ('ircumstunee"says Sir.John Barrow, writing 
 in 1838, " probably originated that intimacy with the 
 Koyal House of Hanover, which subsists to the present 
 day." 
 
 It is interesting hero to observe, that so far as 
 Sir William Howe's incompetency in America led to 
 the independence of the United States, this intimacy 
 cost the House of Hanover quite as much as it was 
 worth. 
 
 Sc'ROPE Howe, oldest son of Sir John Grubham 
 Howe, and older brother of Gen. Emanuel Howi;, 
 joined King William HI. at his landhig, and in 1701 
 was made Baron ClenaAvley and Viscount Howe ; he 
 married Anne, the daughter of John Earl of Rutland, 
 and Juliana, daughter of William Lord Alington, 
 by whom he had two sons and several daughters. 
 
 Of these sons, Ejianuel SciiorE succeeded him as 
 2nd Viscount. Ho married Sophia Charlotte Mary 
 Kielmansegge. She was the daughter to the wife of 
 Baron Kielmansegge, Master of the Horse to George I., 
 when Elector of Hanover, this lady being Sophia 
 Charlotte, daughter of Count Platen. She Avas the 
 mistress of George I., and was created by him 
 Countess of Darlington. 
 
 While the wife (;f Emanuel Scrope is called 
 Sophia Charlotte Kiehuansegge, it is understood on 
 all hands that she was tlu; natural daugliler of George 
 tlic First. It is in this way that her son Get)rgo 
 Augustus, Lord Howe, was named by the Hanoverian 
 Koyal names. And, as late as 1837, just before the

 Sir William Ifowc held the sanu? relationship to tho 
 King. But 1 do not recollect any allusion to thi.s 
 relationship in the AnuM'ican writers of their time.

 lio received marks of confidential favour, which are 
 best accoiuited for by his cousinshij) to George II. 
 and CJeoi'ge ill. Thus at the beginning of the career 
 of the yoang Duke of York, who dietl in 1707, ho 
 was entrusted, for his naval education, to Howe's 
 l)ersonid care. 
 
 William Howe was born on the lOth of August, 
 172U. Three years after, his father, the 2nd 
 Viscount, was named Governor of Barbadoes. He 
 arriv(>d in that Colony in 17''5.'5, and died there 2 J 
 .March, 17."50. His titles were inherited by his oldostson 
 George Augustus, born in 1724. This is the Lord 
 lloAve who was killed in Abercrombit-'s unfortunate 
 attack on Ticonderoga, July 5-0, 17.'38, and in whose

 titles bccaineextinct, but tho Irish titles weroinherited 
 by his brother William, tho General Howe of our 
 Revolution, and the author of our military orders.* 
 A writer of tho time, (juoted by Sir .John Rarrow, 
 says : " Tho two brotliers had in common tho sullen 
 family gloom. In one thing* they differed, Sir William 
 Howe hated business and never did any. Lord IIowo 
 (the Admiral) loved business, dwelt upon it, and 
 never could leave or end it. Their uniform character 
 through life has been, and is to this day, haughty, 
 morose, hard-hearted, and inflexible." 
 
 William Howe was perhaps at Rarbadoes with 
 his father when a child. Rut 1 have found no men- 
 tion of this early American experience. When a boy, 
 lie was sent to Eton, and early in life he entered the 
 English army, as a cornet in tho Duke of Cumberland's 
 dragoons. An anecdote, not well authenticated, 
 makes him compare tho slaughter at Runker Hill 
 with that at Fontenoy and atMinden, as if ho had boon 
 an eye witness of all these battles. It is certain that 
 he was not at ^linden. Rut he was in his sixteenth 
 year wlien the Rattle of Fontenoy was fought, and 
 it is just possible that he may have joinedhis regiment 
 before that fatal day. 
 
 His name first appears in. history, under the 
 command of Wolfe, in tho attack on Quebec. In

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Abraham were mounted Gt night Howe led the way, 
 in command of the Light infantry and the High- 
 landers. The contemporary account says that " the 
 Light Infantry under Col. Kowe,layingholdof stumps 
 and boughs of trees, pulled themselves up, dislodged 
 the guard and cleared the path." Ho and his Light 
 Infantry were the first English troops engaged on the 
 plains of Abraham, and he took without difficulty a 
 four-gun battery. When Wolfe's lino of battle Avas 
 complete, the Light Infantry under Howe protected 
 the rear and the left. The rejoort says afterwards, 
 that " Col. Howe, with the Light Infantry, covered 
 the left wing in such a manner as entirely to frustrate 
 the attempts of the enemy's Indians and Canadians 
 upon the flank." " He sallied out frequently on the 
 flanks of the enemy, and often drove them into heaps." 
 After the peace, in 1764, Howe obtained the 
 command of the Fourth Regiment of Foot. In 1772 
 he became a Major General, and when, early in 1775, 
 the Home Government determined to reinforce Gen. 
 Gage, who was in command at Boston, Howe was 
 sent out with them. He was, at this time, Colonel 
 of the Welsh Fusiliers. The volume in the reader's 
 hands shews the disposition which he made of his 
 immediate command on t''e morning of the battle of 
 Bunker Hill. In an address which he made to his 
 own men on the English right, before advanciiig, he 
 said, "I shall not desire you to go a step further than 
 where I myself go at your head." He kept his word. 
 It was his detachment which three times made that 
 terrible movement against the American left, in 
 which one company of the 52nd Regiment had every 
 man killed or wounded. Every officer of Howe s 
 personal staff was killed or wounded : and it was said 
 that his own white silk stockings were red with the 
 blood which they wiped from the tall grass, on

 which the dying men had fallen. He bore a charmed 
 lit'(> himself, and sustained no injury. 
 
 Gen. Gage was recalled, really in disgrace, after 
 the battle, and Howe succeeded to the command. 
 The very valuable and curious Precis of the corres- 
 pondence between him and the Home Government, 
 which i\rr. Stevens has added to this volume, resiimes 
 Aory thoroughly Howe's view of the position of affairs, 
 and the details given in the Orderly Book itself, 
 leave almost nothing to be asked for the history of 
 the "Siege of Boston." The Orderly Book and the 
 Frecis are indeed his biography for the year 
 between the battle of Bunker Hill and the embarkation 
 of the army at Halifax for the attack on New York. 
 
 The reader will observe that as early as October 
 9, 1775, Howe proposed twenty battalions for New 
 York (see page 303), or twenty thousand men. The 
 Home Government more than answered that appeal; 
 tliey reinforced him so largely that when he entered 
 New York Harbour in 1776, he had under him an army 
 of 31,025 men, the largest and finest force which any 
 English General commanded in America. His use of 
 this force seems to have been soldierly and wise, and 
 at the time it brought him unminglod felicitation at 
 home. Before winter came, ho was able to send 
 home the news of the capture of New York, and that 
 he had taken post in that city. The next year ho 
 moved the army to l^hiladelphia, and won the battle, 
 which seemed so critical, of Brandywine. At liomo 
 this success was recognised with enthusiasm and he 
 was made a Knight of the Bath. 
 
 But side by side with the narratives of his suc- 
 cesses, came those of Burgoyne's defeats. The con- 
 temporary criticism of l^iUgland threw upon Howe, as 
 well as upon the Government, the responsibility of 
 Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga. Why was not Gen.

 PTowe co-opcratiiifiAvitli his unfortunate subordinate? 
 "A junction l)otwoon ITowo and lkir<>;oyno was tlio 
 object," says a writer, perhaps Ednnnid Burke, in the 
 Annual licgistcr of 1778, " It might reasonably have 
 been imagined that the northern army should advance 
 to the southward or the southern army t<j the north- 
 ward. But the minister desjiatchcs one army from New 
 York still farther south, and sends the other to follow 
 it from Canada in tlie same direction. So that if they 
 both continued their course till doomsday it would 
 bo impossible for them to meet." 
 
 Lord North, himself, at the head of the ministry, 
 fell in with the charges which were made against 
 Howe. He said on the 17tli of February, 177<S, when 
 moving his scheme of conciliation, that without con- 
 demning the generals, or calling their conduct into 
 account, he had been disappointed. '' Sir William 
 Howe had been, in the late actions, and in the whole 
 course of the campaign, not only in the goodness of 
 troops, and in all manner of supplies, but in point of 
 numbers too, much superior to the American army 
 which opposed him in the field." 
 
 To such criticism, Howe owed his recall, and, 
 on the 8th of May, Sir Henry Clinton arrived in 
 Philadelphia to take his place. The contemporary 
 account says this was greatly to the regret of the 
 officers and soldiers. It is certain that the whole 
 army seeuied to unite with enthusiasm in that most 
 extraordinary fete the ^'- Mischianza,'''' which expres- 
 sed, in a "variety of entertainments" the respect and 
 admiration in which the army held him. Thomas 
 Paine gives this account of the Mischianza. " Gen. 
 Howe bounces off with his bombs and bunn'ng hearts, 
 sot upon the jnllars of the triumphal arch, which at 
 the ])roper time of the show, burst out in a shower of 
 squibs and crackers, and other iireworks, to the dc-

 Icctublo amazement of iMks Craig, Jliss Chew, Miss 
 Redman, and all tlic other Misses, dressed out as tho

 (ilhcer, \vhoso letter was puhlished at the time in tho 
 Annual Register 1778, p. LHJl, said "Not even tlio 
 plen.surc of conversing with my friend can secure 
 me from the general dejection 1 see around me, 
 or remove tho share I must take iu the universal 
 regret and disappointment which his api)roaching 
 departure hath spread throughout the whole army. 
 We see nim taken from us at a time when we most 
 stand in need of so skilful and popular a commander ; 
 when the experience of throe years, and the knowledge 
 ho hath acquired of the country and people, have 
 added to tho confidence we always placed iu his 
 conduct and abilities. You know he was ever a 
 favourite with tho military ; but the affection and 
 attachment which all ranks of oilicers in this army 
 bear him can only bo known by those who liave at 
 this time seen them in their effects. I do not believe 
 therti is upon record an instance of a Commander 
 in Chief having so universally endeared himself to 
 those luider his command ; (n- of one who received 
 such signal and flattering proofs of their love. 
 That our sentiments might be tho more universally 
 and unequivocally known, it was resolved amongst 
 us, that we should give him as s])lendid an entertain- 
 ment as the shortne>ss of the time, and our present 
 situation, would allow u;;." And tho same letter 
 onpago 270 of the Annual Register closed with saying 
 "I have seen him receive a more Hattering testimony 
 of the love and attachment of his army, than all 
 the pomp and splendor of the Miscliiduza could 
 convey to him. 1 have seen the most gallant of our

 such instances of their affection, shod tears while 
 they bade him farowelL The gallant and affectionate 
 General of the Hessians, Knyphauson, was so moved, 
 that he could not finish a compliment he began to pay 
 him in his own name and that of his Officers ^vho 
 attended him. Sir Henry Clinton attended him to 
 the wharf, where Lord Howe received him into his 
 barge, and they are both gone down to Billingsport, 
 On my return, I saw nothing but dejected counte- 
 nances." 
 
 On the other hand, the opinion left on record by 
 Maj. AVemyss of the same army in his IMS. notes, is 
 this, "Lieut. Gen. Sir AV'" Howe succeeded General 
 Gage with the good opinion of the army, but it was 
 soon discovered that liowever lit to connnand a corps 
 of grenadiers, he was altogether unequal to the duties 
 of Commander-in-chief, of wlr* ' his misconduct on 
 almost all occasions, particuh. at the beginning of 
 the war at Long Island, White I'lains and Trenton are 
 undoubted proofs. His manners were sullen and un- 
 gracious, with a dislike to business, and a propensity 
 to pleasure. His staff officers Avere in general below 
 mediocrity, with some of whom, and a few field 
 officers he passed most of his time in private con- 
 viviality." 
 
 After his recall he was subjected to very careful 
 examination in the inquiry made into the conduct 
 of the war for three years, an inquiry which furnishes 
 some of the most interesting materials for his history. 
 He was never afterwards employed in military service 
 abroad; but at home he received a series of lucrative 
 and im])oitant appointments. He succeeded Lord 
 Amherst as Lieut. Gen. of the Ordnance in 1782. He 
 became Colonel of the 19th Dragoons in 178G. In 
 1795 he was appointed Governor of Berwick, and 
 in 1805 was removed from that command to the

 more important Station of Governor of Plymouth, 
 which post he lield till his death. After his return 
 from America he represented Nottinr^h&m in several 
 Parliaments. His family had long had interests in 
 that neighbourhood. But I find no notice of his 
 taking any important part in Parliamentary business 
 excepting in the inquiry as to the conduct of the 
 war, when he himself moved for papers on that 
 subject to be laid before Parliament. lie died on 
 the 12"' of July, 1814, in his 85"' year, after a most 
 painful sickness. 
 
 The Orderly Book, which has so fortunately been 
 preserved, enables us to follow the history of the 
 ►Siege or Blockade of Boston, as the Commanding- 
 officer in that city saw the changes from day to day. 
 Hovv^e arrived in the 'Cerberus' man of war, in ccmi- 
 pany with Clinton and Burgoyne, with large rein- 
 forcements, on the 24"' of May, 1775. Gen. Gage 
 was the Commander in Chief, and at the same time 
 the political governor of the Province, but he had 
 been shut up in Boston, since the 20"' of April, and 
 his authority went no farther than the town. Bur- 
 goyne always carried the title of "General Elbow- 
 room," after saying, as they arrived in the harbour, 
 " We'll soon give the General Elbow room." 
 
 The new commanders, -with their larger force, at 
 once proposed to take and fortify the hills of Charles- 
 town, and Dorchester Neck, hdls now historical as 
 Bunker Hill and Dorchester Heights. This purpose 
 of the English was quickly made known to Gen. 
 Ward, the American commander, and it was to 
 meet it at once, that he ordered Prescott on the 
 niglitof the IG"' of June to take possession of the hill 
 in Charlcstown. The battle of Bunker Hill followed. 
 Howe Avas directed to lead the attack, and his Orderly 
 Book begins with his dispositions for that service.

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The reader will observe that his head-quarters 
 were, for a time, established on Bunker Hill itself. 
 After the morning entry of June 20'^'', where the 
 orders are given by Gen. Pigot in Howe's absence, 
 Gen. Gage's Boston orders are copied into the same 
 book, and for a considerable period, both series 
 are preserved hero. So soon as Howe takes the 
 whole command the General orders are his. The 
 reader, therefore, has in this book, side by side, the 
 general orders given to the whole garrison of Boston, 
 and those given to the particular force at Charlestown 
 on Bunker Hill. Tlie Boston orders cover, of course, 
 the wider ground, and are noted as " General orders," 
 while the Charlestown orders are " General Howe's 
 orders," or simply " Morning orders." Up till the 
 10"' of October, when Gage was superseded by Howe, 
 the General orders are from General Gage's office.* 
 On the 29"' of September, Clinton, whose rank was 
 next to Howe's, takes the command of the force at 
 Charlestown. The book generally speaks of the 
 Heights at Charlestown, and not of Bunker Hill. 
 
 The full compilation known as Force's American 
 Archives and other similar reviews of the history of 
 the Siege enable the reader to follow t;he orders in 
 this volume with almost certain light. There can be 
 no piece of American History of which the detail has 
 been more carefully studied, and the present publi- 
 cation, which has long been awaited by students of 
 history, may be fairly said to complete all that was 
 needed for a full unicrstanding of the fortunes of 
 Boston and indeed of the new born nation, in this 
 critical year. 
 
 • The * Cerberus,' with Howe's commissiou arrived on the 26th of Sep- 
 t«inber. Howe acknowledges it by a letter to the Earl of Dartmouth on the 
 6th of October. But the public announcement is only made on the 10th. 
 Washington knew of the change as early as the uth. He mentions it in a 
 letter of that day.

 The reader who traces here the progress of 
 scurvy in the English anny, and who notices the 
 unfavourable conditions of the hospital, will under- 
 stand why Howe made no active movement during 
 the hot summer of 1775 and the autumn of the same 
 year. Such severity of discipline as appears in the 
 entries on page 4G, shews liow low was the tone of 
 the army, and how poor the standard by which it had 
 been recruited. Burgoyne's letters have given similar 
 intimations. 
 
 The letters abridged in the Precis at the end of 
 this volume shew that no serious plans of invasion 
 from Boston were proposed after Bunker Hill. 
 Yet the English public were sometimes entertained by 
 fictitious accounts of such invasions, and there were 
 moments when Washington seems to have expected 
 one. On his journey towards Boston in July, he took it 
 for granted that Gage would move out immediately. 
 
 Ho himself lost no occasion to press his enemy. 
 Congress was constantly suggesting an attack. 
 Washington called several Councils of War (the 
 most important were on the 11th of September, the 
 18th of October, and the 22nd of December) to 
 consider plans, all of which till that of March voted 
 that the time had not come. On the 26th of August 
 he advanced his works, in the wav which he describes 
 in a letter to Lee, August 29, 1775, "On Saturday 
 night last we took possession of a hill, advanced of 
 our lines, and within point blank shot of the enemy 
 on Chariest© wn Neck. We worked incessantly the 
 whole night twelve hundred men, and before 
 morning got an intrenchment in such forwardness 
 as to bid defiance to their cannon. About 
 nine o'clock on Sunday they began a heavy can- 
 nonade, which continued through the day, with- 
 out any injury to our work, and with the loss of 
 
4

 four men only, two of whom were killed through their 
 own folly." 
 
 Tills movement is referred to in Howe's general 
 order of Au^. 28th. 
 
 Had Howe known how ill-supplied with powder 
 was liis enemy through the summer, he would have 
 been less inactive. 
 
 A return made by Gen. Gage in July shows that 
 the strength of his army on paper was then 13,5(10 
 men. But from this must be deducted the large 
 number of wounded men he had in hospital after 
 Lexington and Bunker Hill. There, alone, were 
 one thousand and eight men. There were also the 
 scurvy sick and others depleting this force, and 
 Washington made probably a somewhat exaggerated 
 estimate of its efficiency when he rated it at eleven 
 thousand five hundred fighting men on the 18th of 
 July. By returning invalids to England, and by some 
 southern expeditions it was reduced to 7,759 men on 
 the 18th of October, of whom 1,724 were not fit for 
 duty. — See page 322. This number grew less and 
 less till January, and even on March 5th, after some 
 reinforcements, when Howe sent Percy with a detach- 
 ment to storm the works which Ward and Thomas 
 had built and occupied on Dorchester Heights, ho 
 had but 6,64G men fit for duty. There is no reason 
 for wonder, that, with so small a force, he shrank 
 from an encounter to which only defeat was possible. 
 
 On one occasion, Washington had such reason 
 to expect an attack that he asked the Provincial 
 Congress for a reinforcement of militia, which they 
 ordered. Within two days, on better information, he 
 withdrew the order. This may have been due to his 
 knowledge that Howe had taken command in Gage's 
 place, it may be that with Gage's fall, Washington's 
 information was not so accurate. Gage's enemies

 infiuuitecl that information slipped out through his 
 iiK'onipetent staff and handsome American wife. The 
 orders of Howe, through October, contain many 
 traces of his anxiety and eagerness to maintain careful 
 watch on the outposts. 
 
 The only aggressive movement alluded to in the 
 General Orders, is the attack on Phipps's Fann on the 
 5th of November. On page 131 the reader will find 
 the thanks expressed to tlie Light Infantry. The 
 following is the account given of this movement by 
 Capt. Nathan Hale, who was at Winter Hill at the 
 time. 
 
 "Thursday, 9th, 1 O'cl. P.M. An alarm. The 
 enemy landed at Lechmere's Point to take off cattle. 
 Our works were immediately all mann'd, and a 
 detachment sent to receive them, who were obliged, 
 it being high water, to wade through water nearly 
 waist high. While the enemy were landing, we gave 
 them a constant cannonade from Prospect Hill. Our 
 party having got on to the point, marched in two 
 columns, one on each side of the hill, with a view to 
 surround the enemy, but upon the first appearance of 
 them, they made their boats as fast as possible. 
 While our men were marching on to the point, they 
 were exposed to a hot fire from a ship in the bay, and 
 a floating Battery, also after they had passed the 
 hill. A few shot were fired from Bunker's Hill. 
 The damage on our side is of oi'^e Rifleman taken, and 
 3 men wounded, one badly, and it is thought 10 or 
 more carried off. The Rifleman taken was dnink in 
 a tent, in which he and the one who carried the 
 worst wound were placed to take care of the Cattle, 
 Horses, &c. and give notice in case the enemy 
 should make an attempt upon them. The tent they 
 were in was taken. What the loss was on the 
 enemy's side we cannot yet determine."

 Howe's army went into Winter quarters on the 
 12th of December. The reader will notice the full 
 directions for this change of life at that date and at 
 the 13th. It is on the 12th that the largo part 
 of the garrison, held on Bunker Hill till that time, is 
 withdrawn. 
 
 Col. Knowlton's npirited attack on the Eng- 
 lish outposts at Charlestown, which broke up so 
 suddenly the ])ei*formance of Gen. Burgoyno's play, 
 " The Blockade of Boston," took place on the 8th 
 of Januaiy. The allusions in the orders of the 9th 
 and 10th refer to this affair. Howe's anxiety as to 
 the behaviour of sentinels shows itself again in the 
 general order of the 21st of January. 
 
 On the 15th of that month ho is obliged to 
 inform Lord George Germain that he has put the 
 troops on short allowance, even of salt provisions. 
 The destitution of Boston was becoming so severe 
 that the civilians loft in the town, not seven thousand 
 in number, were obliged, in the month of February to 
 make a generous charitable contribution for the 
 benefit of the poor of their own number. The 
 original subscription paper has lately been found, and 
 is in the possession of Judge Mellon Chamberlain, of 
 the Boston Public Library. The subscribers appointed 
 Dr. Caner, Mr. Paddock, Mr. Gue, Mr. Gay and Mr. 
 Snelling a committee to distribute their alms ; sub- 
 scribing '' from a charitable disposition to relieve our 
 fellow creatures from those distresses which are 
 incident to a long blockade wherein the widow and 
 orphan, the aged and infinn soonest and most 
 severely feel the effects of scarcity." The subscrip- 
 tion was £144. 
 
 The Precis of Correspondence, copied from 
 Volume 290 of the American Series in the Public 
 Record Office in London, has been added to the Orderly

 an Important Object, any of the Soldiers Detected 
 in future in attempting Shamefully to Purloin any 
 part of these Buildings will assuredly be punish'd 
 most severely, The Gen^ Considers such Instances 
 of Devastation and Irregiilarity a Disgrace to Dis- 
 cipline. 
 
 To prevent any unnecessary waste of ammunition 
 the Men relieved from Duty's are not to draw their 
 Muskett Shot Daily, this only to be done in Wett or 
 Damp Weather when the Cartridge may be suppos'd 
 damaged and unfit for real Service. 
 
 The Order of the 18"' Ins' directing one third of 
 the Men off Duty with Officers in proportion being 
 Employ'd at the works carrying on, & relieved every 
 four Hours is either Misunderstood, or not attended 
 to, The Gen' expects more regularity, and attention 
 to Orders, the Quarter Master for the day must see 
 the party's for work paraded every relief, those at 
 work are not to leave it 'till the preceding partys 
 arrive, and the directing Engineer distributes them 
 to their different Stations. It is also Expected the 
 Officers Commanding the working party's will be 
 attentive their Men are Diligent Avhile Employ'd.

 State of health nevertheless these Witnesses have not 
 Sufficiently proved that he was more particularly so 
 on those days on which the prosecutor lays the 
 Strength of his charge, than on Several other days, 
 when he Voluntarily did his duty, and as Several Con- 
 versations and Circumstances upon his declining his 
 duty have been laid before the Court which appears

 Violence against his Cap' when ordcr'cl in an Arrest, 
 refusing to go under an Arrest when Order'd, and 
 behaving in a Scandalous, infamous manner, unbecom- 
 ing the Character of an Officer and a (xentleman. 
 
 The Court is of opinion, that L* W"' Hamilton is 
 not guilty of the first charge exhibited against him, 
 viz' — being drunk upon Duty, and do therefore ac- 
 quit him of the same. 
 
 With respect to the other Charges, they are of 
 opinion that lie did refuse going in Arrest when 
 order'd, and that he was not Justifiable in so doing ; 
 but his Conduct appears to have proceeded rather 
 from an Error in Judgement than from any inten- 
 tional Criminality. 
 
 Lastly the Court is of opinion that he is Cuilty of 
 the Second and fourth Charges exhibited against him 
 viz' Offering Violence against his Capt" Avhen order'd 
 under an Arrest, and behaving unbecoming the Cha- 
 racter of an Officer and a Gentleman, in breach of the 
 23'' Article of War of the 15 Section, and doth tnerefore

 Commands Officers of Guards are to be particu-

 not to fire, except in the last extremity upon discover- 
 ing the enemy. Where there are double Sentrys, one 
 of them is to return quietly to the guard in case of 
 Alarm, & the other is to remain untill he may be 
 forced back. It is a great mark of the want of dis- 
 cipline, when a Soldier fires his piece without cause, 
 as appears to have been the case last night by some 
 of the Sentrys at Charlestown.

 Tho' there are Orders that Sentrys within the 
 Town do not demand the Countersign, yet they are 
 to he cautious not to let parties with Arms, or that 
 may appear suspicious to them, come within reach of 
 seizing their Arms, & are to he as much upon their 
 guard against surprise as if they were advanc'd near 
 the enemy. Some Sentrys tho' posted next the enemy, 
 having neglected the former precautions lately, the 
 Commanding Officers of Corps are to be particularly 
 attentive that the young are well instructed in this 
 essential branch of tbeir duty; the safety of an Army 
 often depending upon the allertness & propriety 
 of a single Sentry. 
 
 The Officers Commands Guards must be respon- 
 sible for all neglects of their Sentrys, proceeding 
 from the want of the necessary information being 
 given to them. 
 
 The Rum order'd to be given to the Guards, is to 
 be serv'd out every morning by the several Q' Masters, 
 to a Serj' of their respective Corps, to he deliver'd

 land: militarij details of levies, stores §• operations near

 In July 1775, The King having signified His plea- 
 sure that General Gage should return to England to 
 lay before His Majesty a State of his Command, and 
 to assist in the consideration of such Measures as 
 might be necessary to the future plan of Operations, 
 a Commission ^vas passed appointing Major-General 
 ~^owe to be (during General Gage's Absence) Commd"^ 
 11 chief of all His Majesty's Forces employ'd and 
 to be employed within the Colonies lying upon the 
 Atlantic Ocean; A like Commission was given to 
 General Carleton to command the Troops employed 
 or to be employed in Canada, and upon its Frontiers, 
 both which Commissions were of the same Tenor and 
 Authority with those given to the Generals Amherst 
 and Wolfe, when Commanding separate Corps of 
 Troops in America in the last ^^'ar. 
 
 On the '2^ of August 1775, Lord Dartmouth 
 acquainted Major Gen' Howe by Letter of that 
 Arrangement, transmitted to him his Commission, and 
 signified to him that he was to receive the full 
 appointment of Commander in Chief, obsei'ving, at the 
 same time, that if in the course of the Service tlie two 
 Armies that was supposed would act separately should

 in future Events be joined, the Command of the 
 whole would, in that Case, devolve upon General 
 Carleton, as the superior Officer : His Lordship, at 
 the same time, referred him to a separate Letter to 
 Gen^ Gage, of the same date, respecting the Force to 
 be employed in North America in the succeeding 
 year and the Ideas which had been suggested of the 
 different places of Operations, under different Circum- 
 stances and Events, and he was told that General 
 Gage was directed when he came away to leave that 
 Letter with him for his Information. 
 
 In a separate Dispatch from Lord Dartmouth to 
 Major Gen^ Howe, dated the S"' of September ob- 
 serves to him that altho' he had not in the separate 
 Dispatch to Gen^ Gage of the 2"'' of August thought 
 fit in General to give any Opinion upon the different 
 Ideas Avhich had been suggested of the future plan 
 of Operations, contenting himself with stating nakedly 
 the propositions themselves, yet he had ventured to 
 describe some of the obvious Advantages that would 
 attend the taking Possession of New York, 8c the 
 hazard of the Army's continuing at Boston. That 
 every days Intelligence since shewed more clearly both 
 the one & the other, and then his Lordship, after 
 describing the State of the Troops cooped up in 
 Boston & exposed to numberless wants, difficulties and 
 danger, observed, that it was not only advisable but 
 necessary to abandon Boston before the Winter & to 
 dismantle Castle William, and having embarked all 
 the Stoies and Artillery, and afforded to the well dis- 
 posed Inhabitants every means of getting away with 
 safety, to remove with the Troops either to New York 
 or to some other place to the Southward, which con- 
 siderations of superior Advantage should point out as 
 the most proper, and where a Squadron of the King's 
 Ships might lye in the Winter : His Lordship then 
 proceeds to point out the advantages of such a

 Measure in various lights, and concludes with direct- 
 ing him to make an early return of every thing that 
 ■would be wanted for the ensuing Campaign, and 
 authorized him to appoint such Persons to be Adju- 
 tant General and Quarter Master General as he 
 should think most fit for those Situations. On the 
 same Day, viz*, the 5"' of September 1775, Lord 
 Dartmouth, in a secret Dispatch, acquaints General 
 Howe with the application made to the Empress of 
 Russia for a Body of Infantry to serve in North 
 America, that in consequence of a favorable answer 
 from that Court the Minister was Instructed to agree 
 for a Corps of 20,000, that the greatest part would 
 be sent to Quebec early in the Spring, and it was 
 hoped that we should have an equal number of 
 British Troops in North America in the next year. 
 
 On the 8"' September Mr. Pownall in a letter to 
 Major Gen' Howe suggests to him, as a matter for his 
 Consideration, the great Advantage, in different 
 "Views, of removing, if possible, the Effects in the 
 Town of Boston, as well those belonging to the Rebels 
 as those belonging to the well affected ; And pointed 
 out the necessity there was, from fresh advices relative 
 to Nova-Scotia, of having a particular Attention to 
 the Security of that Colony, he also acquaints him 
 that Goods had been purchased here as presents to 
 the Indians, and that they would be sent to him, & 
 to Gen' Carleton, in proper Proportions. 
 
 On the 22'' of Septem-^ 1775, Lord Dartmouth in 
 a Dispatch to General Howe acquainted him with the 
 alterations which had been made in the Distribution 
 of the 17, 27, 46, & 55 Regiments under Oiders to 
 embark at Corke for North America, the Object of 
 which alteration was to get, if possible, 4 of the said 
 Regm*^ to Quebec, & one to Halifax — His Lordship 
 also transmitted to the Gen' a State of the Victualling 
 &c Store Ships, taking in Provisions «& Stores for

 Boston ; acquaints liim with the Directions given to 
 the Admiralty for providing Convoy for those Vessels, 
 \k concludes his Letter with observing that the last 
 Advices from America were the fullest Evidence of 
 an open & declared War on the part of the Associated 
 Colonics, and, therefore, there was no consideration 
 left but that of proceeding against them in all Ee- 
 spects, with the utmost Vigour, as the open & avowed 
 Enemy's of the State. 
 
 On the 27 Oct" 1775, Lord Dartmouth acquaints 
 General IIowc with the Arrangements made for Ee- 
 cruiting the different Corps in America, and for the 
 augmentation of each Corps, & signifies to him His 
 ^lajcsty's Pleasure with regard to the Officers to be 
 sent to England for raising those Eecruits, and the 
 new Levies; and his Lordship, in that Letter, ac- 
 quaints him that the fair Prospect we had of suc- 
 ceeding in Our Treaty with Russia for a Body of 
 Infantry was, at best, but doubtfull. 
 
 On the 14 November General Gage arrived in 
 London from America, and brought with him Dispatches 
 from Major General Howe of the 5"' & O'^* Oct" in the 
 latter of v/hicli he States some of his Ideas with re- 
 gard to the ensuing Campaign, premising that Boston 
 Avould without some unforeseen Accident be in no 
 Danger during the Winter, but, on the contrary that 
 the Eeinforcement of 5 Battalions from Ireland, which 
 lie had been acquainted were to be sent him would 
 enable him to distress the Enemy by Incursions along 
 the Coast, and he pointed at Portsmouth in New 
 Hampshire as an Object of Attack. He States that 
 from all appearances respecting the Eebel Army 
 nothing more would probably be attempted during 
 the remainder of the Campaign, and that the King's 
 Troops were then Employed in preparing Quarters 
 for the Winter, and providing for the Security of 
 Boston and the at Charles Town ; he then

 proceeds to consider the different Ideas suggested in 
 Lord Dartmouth's Letter of the 2"^* August, he states 
 the Objections that lay to opening the next Campaign 
 by acting with his whole Force against the Rebels at 
 Boston. That his Strength was not adequate to such 
 a Division of his Army as miglit enable him to keep 
 Possession of Boston, and at the same time make an 
 attempt to take PosL at New York, and therefore 
 desires Listrnctions upon that head, saying, that if his 
 Orders should be to leave a Force at Boston, & 
 proceed with the remainder to New York, not less 
 than 5,000 Men or 8 Battalions Avould be necessary ; 
 That such a Force under the command of General 
 Clinton, would probably find Employment for 10,000 
 Rebels, in which Case, he would propose 20 Bat- 
 talions for New York, a part of which to be left there 
 for the defence of that Town, and the remainder to be 
 employed in opening a Communication with Canada, 
 which if effected and secured by proper Posts the two 
 Corps might then proceed in separate Routes into the; 
 Province of Massachuset's Bay, as Circumstances might 
 arise — That, however, upon the whole, he was of 
 opinion that by the entire Evacuation of Boston and 
 taking hold of Rhode Island the Army would be 
 better connected, and a variety of other Advantages 
 which he fully stated would be gained : That, how- 
 ever, the Harbor of Boston should be Blocked up, and 
 to that end a small Force might be entrusted with 
 Security on some commanding Spot in the Neighbor- 
 hood of Nantasket Road. 
 
 Upon the Intimation given by Lord Dartmouth 
 that it was hoped the Army for the ensuing Campaign 
 would amount to 20,000 Men, he expresses a wish 
 that it might be composed of 34 Battalions of 10 
 Companies at 59 Rank and File, and if G Battalions 
 could be added by an equal partition of them between 
 Canada & Rhode Island the Effect would be ade-

 quate to the Expence ; He concludes with ^vishing 
 that the Troops lor the Boston Division may be em- 
 barked by the beginning of February, so that the 
 Campaign might open in the middle or latter end of 
 April, and recommends that some of the old and expe- 
 rienced Officers with him may be provided for in the 
 Additional Companies. 
 
 On the 18 November Lord George Germain 
 acknowledged the Keceipt of these Dispatches, 
 acquaints the General that every Effort would be 
 made to send as early as possible the Re-inforcements 
 that were required, and that although our Negociation 
 with Russia for foreign Auxiliaries had not succeeded 
 as we expected, and Recruits came in slowly, yet, if 
 we were not deceived in other Views, he would 
 certainly be enabled to take the Field with an Army 
 of 20,000 Men : His Lordship then observes that all 
 Our Advices from the Southward confirm us in our 
 hopes that the southern Expedition would be attended 
 with Advantage and Success, and that the greatest 
 part of the Regiments employed on that Service would 
 probably join him earlier, and in a better State than 
 if sent from hence in the Spring. 
 
 On the 27"' December Major General Eurgoyno 
 arrived from Boston in the Boyne with Dispatches 
 from General Howe dated the 26"' & 27 of NoV, & 
 2nd & grd Qf December, In these Dispatches General 
 Howe begins by stating that Lord Dartmouth's Dis- 
 patches of the 5"' September, directing the removal 
 of the Troops from Boston arrived so late that they 
 could not be carried into Execution, for reasons 
 which are fully represented, the principal of which 
 were the want of a sufficient number of Transj)orts 
 (there being a Deficiency of 11,062 Tons in, the 
 Quantity necessaiy for the whole Embarkation at once, 
 and that if they Avere embarked in separate Divi- 
 sions, at different Periods, more would be hazarded

 than rrudencc would justify. He then says they are 
 under no apprehensions of Attack or Surprize by the 
 Rebel Army, on the contrary, it was very much to be 
 wished they would make such attempt; that, however, 
 from Sickness of the Army, and the extent of Post to 
 be defended, the Force would not be adequate to any 
 undcu'taking of Consequence, such as the Possession 
 of Rhode Island, New York, Philadelphia or Charles 
 Town. He then proceeds to propose that in the 
 Spring what remained at Boston of the Gu^'' Regiment 
 should be sent to Halifax, which, with Lieut' Col: 
 Gorham's Corps, and what were there of Maclean's 
 Recruits, added to the Militia which Governor Legge 
 had acquainted him would be raised, wou'd, he hoped, 
 ]nit the Dock Yard and Town in perfect Security : 
 That in that Case he should order the Detachment 
 of the 14 Regiment at Halifax to join him as soon as 
 the G5"' arrived : That for the Blockade of Boston 
 Harbor one Battalion should be entrenched at Hull, 
 near Nantasket Road, where the King's Ships of War 
 might securely Winter, instead of Castle William 
 which pursuant to his Majesty's Orders would be 
 distroyed upon the Evacuation of Boston. 
 
 That the next object would be taking hold of 
 Rhode Island, with 10 Battalions, under the Comm'' 
 of General Clinton, that there would then remain 16 
 Battalions for New York, that there would however 
 be wanting in the Spring 6 or 7000 Recruits, and he 
 suggests that they may possibly be raised by procuring 
 from the Hessian and Hanoverian Armies iCO Men 
 for each of the 27 Battalions ; By 100 Men to be 
 added to each Battalion from the Substitutes of the 
 English Militia, and the remainder about 7,000 Men 
 to be composed of Recruits raised in the ordinary 
 method ; That after all the Force, when so completed, 
 would not be adequate to an active offensive Cam- 
 paign on the side of New York and Rhode Island, as 
 
 X

 there would be but 5,000 fifrhtiug ]\lc'u for the latter 
 and 8,000 for the former ; and, therefore, he proposes 
 a Reinforcement of 4,000 llussians, of which 1,500 to 
 be added to Gen' Clinton's Army, & 2,500 to the 
 Corps at New York the remainder of this private 
 Despatch, namely of the '1^^^' of November, relates 
 entirely to his Ideas of what had been suggested in a 
 Letter from ^Ir. Pownall respecting the removal of 
 the Effects at Boston, which he approving, and to the 
 appointm' of an Adjutant General and Quarter Master 
 General: In his Dispatch of the 27"' Nov"^ ho men- 
 tions that one Transport had arrived with 4 Companies 
 of the 17"' Regiment, as also two Transports with 4 
 Companies of Artillery, and two Ships with Ordnance 
 Stores, but that the Nancy Ordnance Store Ship was 
 supposed to have been taken, he adds that contrary to 
 his Expectation the whole Army was not yet in Winter 
 Quarters, but that he hoped the whole wou'd be under 
 Cover in a few Days ; That the sickness in the x\rmy 
 had rather encreased of late, from the severity of the 
 Season, but as there was nothing Epedemical it would 
 soon Recover, if they did not wait too long for the 
 Flocks, Bedding, Blankets, Sec"- expected from Eng- 
 land; He then observes that the number of Seamen 
 for the Transports was very deficient, proposes that 
 they should be Complcated, and that the King's Ships 
 should have their War Establishment; He then States 
 an Expedition which had been resolved upon by Gen- 
 eral Gage & Adm' Graves, for the Destruction of Capo 
 Ann and Falmouth ; That it was afterwards found in- 
 expedient to make an Attack upon Cape Ann, but that 
 after giving notice to the Inhabitants of Falmouth to 
 remove themselves aiid Effects, it was distroyed on 
 the 18 Ocf, about 500 Houses & 14 Sea Vessels 
 having been Burnt & Distroyed ; He then mentions 
 the arrival of a Vessel on the 10"' of October from 
 Gen' Carleton givinsr an account of the 
 
 dangerous 
 
Deccmher WITH OENEUAL HOWE 307 
 
 Situation of that Province ; That in consoqncncc 
 thereof lie had determined to send and had ordered 
 a BattaUon of Marines to embark on board Transports, 
 in order to proceed to (Quebec under Convoy of the 
 Cerberus, as settled with Admiral Graves ; That 
 accordingly everything was ready on the 1 3"' when he 
 receiNX'd a letter from Adm' Graves declaring the 
 Attempt unadvisable & impracticable; That upon 
 this Letter he dropped the Design of sending the 
 Transports, intending to procure smaller Vessels, 
 better adapted to work their way up the River ; but 
 not being able to get them fitted for Sea in any 
 reasonable time, he was compelled to drop the Design, 
 and sent back the Express Boat on the 18"'. 
 
 The foregoing is all that appears material to be 
 stated from the Dispatches of Gen' Howe brought by 
 Major (jen' Burgoyne ; but it maybe necessary to add 
 that with these Dispatches Gen' Howe transmitted full 
 Returns, States & I]stimates of every thing that would 
 be wanted for the ensuing Campaign, pursuant to the 
 Orders he had received from Lord Dartmouth, the 
 Directions for the. Preparation of which, so far as they 
 regard the Department of the Secretary of State, will 
 be seen in a separate Precis. 
 
 On the 5"' January Lord George Germain 
 acquainted Gen' Howe that his Letters by Gen' 
 Burgoyne had been received, and that the reasons he 
 assigned for not removing from Boston, in consequence 
 of the Directions he had received from Lord Dart- 
 mouth fully justify the liesolution he had taken on 
 that head, & that even could he have procured a 
 sufficient Quantity of Transports to have effected the 
 Evacuation as proposed, it would nevertheless have 
 been an unadvisable Measure ; His I^ordship further 
 acquaints him that the King has in general approved 
 his Plan of Operations for the ensuing Year, and then 
 proceeds to the Consideration of those parts of the

 that were making for that pnr[)ose, and for answering 
 his llcquisitions ; That the plan of augmentation by 
 incorporating 2,000 Men into each Battalion from the 
 foreign Troops in British Pay & from the Militia was, 
 for many lleasons, liable to great ])ifHculty and Ob- 
 jection ; That therefore, he must depend for the 
 Augmentation upon llecruits, & upon the additional 
 Battalions proposed to be raised in Scotland by 
 General Fraser, and upon the additional Battalion to 
 be added to the 42'' Eegimcnt ; And it was further 
 Observed to him, that the southern Expedition would 
 furnish him with one more Battalion than he had 
 included in his Calculation, The whole, therefore, of 
 the Augmentation, including the Recruits, is stated 
 at 4,400 Men, and he is encouraged to expect a Corps 
 of foreign Troops, not less than 10,000, in consequence 
 of the Engagements which had been entered upon, 
 & nearly concluded with the Prince of Hesse, and 
 Elector of Brunswick for 17,000 Men : His Lordship 
 then States that the deficiency he represents in the 
 Tonnage of Transports will be fully sui)plied by the 
 Transports and Store Ships already gone and pre- 
 paring to go ; all which arc to be at his disposal 
 after their arrival and after they have lauded their 
 Cargoes. 
 
 Upon the Demand for Horses & Waggons his 
 Lordship observes that it is of a nature and extent 
 very difficult to be complied with; That, however 
 every endeavor will be exerted, hoping at the same 
 time that a great part of the SerAice for which Wag- 
 gons and Horses are Demanded, may, from the nature 
 of the Operations, be performed by AVatcr Carriage, 
 and therefore, he had pressed forward a Supply of Hat 
 Bottom<:;d Boats, of which 32, & 10 Yauls, & as many 
 Cutters were ready, & 40 more in hand.

 for a second Supply of the same sort, and also for

 Transp(n-t : That with regard to the Provisions and 
 Forage there was no doubt but that tlu; ntinost 
 Activity would be used in the Department of the 
 Treasury for forwarding that IJranch of the Service ; 
 His Lordshi]) then approves the Measures which 
 General Howe had resolved upon for sending relief to 
 Quebec, laments the obstacles which had prevented 
 the Execution of them, and States in g(^neral the 
 steps which had been taken here for that pur^jose ; 
 Upon the Expediti(m for burning Falmouth his 
 Lordshi[) observes that he has no doubt that Adm' 
 Graves had good reasons for the Step he took, and 
 that the Commander of that Exi)edition did not pro- 
 ceed to extremities without an absolute refusal on 
 the part of the Inhabitants to comply with the Requi- 
 sitions which appeared by the ])ispatch of the Lords 
 of the Admiralty to have been made to them. Upon 
 the Subject of the llcmoval of the Effects of the 
 Town of Boston, his Lordship signifies tlu; King's 
 pleasure that if practicable the whole should be re- 
 moved ; but that he must repeat to him, what had 
 been said in ^I"^ Pownal's Letter, that he must use 
 his own Discretion, according to Circumstances as 
 they shall appear at the time ; for, however desirable 
 it might be that they shoiild be secured yet it was an 
 object not to be attended to if it should create any 
 Difficulty or Hazard in the Evacuation, for, in that 
 Case, the Destruction of them would be fully justiHed. 
 Upon that part of Gen' Ifowe's Commission a\ hich 
 gives him authority to Post Officers upon Vacancies, 
 upon general Terms, the King's pleasure is signified 
 that it is not to be understood in any case to ai)ply to 
 
3to PRECm OF CORRESrONDKNCE 1776 
 
 the Vacancy of a U('<j;im{>nt ; that ns to the Vacancies 
 of Lieu' Colonel & Major he may post oilicers to 
 such Vacancies untill His Majesty's [)leasure is known, 
 and His Majesty will, if he thinks fit, c('"*^'-»n them by 
 Commissions here, and, that with re<^ai die Artil- 
 
 lery it was to be understood that h(> sho. A not fill up 
 any Vacancy but in tlu^ Uank of second laeutenant, in 
 Avhich Kank he was to <^rant Commissions, and also in 
 all other C()ri)s below the Rank of Field Ofhcers. 
 
 On the 1"' of February 1770 Lord Geornre Ger- 
 main accpiaints General Howe that the utmost Efforts 
 had been made to press forward every ])reparati(m 
 for the ensuiufj^ Campaip;n ; that these l'reparati(ms 
 had been j^reatly retarded by the uncommon seveu'ity 
 of the AVeather, but that it was hoi)ed that th(> liein- 
 forcements for his Army would be embarked before 
 the end of March, llis Lordship then states to 
 Gen' Howe the steps that had been taken for having 
 a considerable Force in Canada early i" 'he Spring ; 
 that General Burgoyno was to act as s \ in Com- 
 mand to Gen' Carleton, and that he .. li proceed 
 thither with 8 Regm'* from Ireland, which it was 
 hoped would be ready to embark about the 20"' of 
 March. He is told that if Quebec is lost, and Gene- 
 ral Carleton should not survive, the Command of the 
 whole of His Majesty's Forces, in that Case, was to 
 devolve upon him ; That IMajors Gen' Clintcm, Bur- 
 goyne. Lord Percy, & Lord Cornwallis were to 
 have the Rank of Lieut Generals in America : The old 
 Colonels, who now act as Brigadiers, to be Major 
 Generals, & the other Colonels to be appointed 
 Brigadiers ; That in case of the whole Command de- 
 volving upon him, he was to dispose of the different 
 Inferior Commands as he should think fit : That, 
 consequently, it would be in his power eithcn' to 
 appoint Gen' Clinton to the Command of the Troops 
 
 in Canada, or to leave General 
 
 Burgoyne 
 
 in 
 
 that 
 
Felruanj WITH GEXERAL rfom:. ^it 
 
 Com' ; That, however, it was J lis Majesty's Plea- 
 sure lliiit l;()r(l Cornwallis shoiiM serve in C'anada, 
 and tliiil he and his Re<;;inu'nt should be sent thither 
 as soon us they returned from the Sonthwnrd; His 
 L(n'dshii) then observes upon the neec^ssity of having 
 Attention to the Security of Nova Seotia it New- 
 foundland, and signifies llis Majc^sty's JMeasure with 
 regard to the Ste|)s to be taken for that purpose ; and 
 his Lordship coneludes this Dispateli with informing 
 liim of tlu^ (M'ders given for a Detachment of (iuards, 
 consisting of !,()()() Men llaidv and File to hold them- 
 selves in readiness to proceed to Nortii America, 
 adding oidy tliat the King had declared 1 lis Intentions 
 that he Avould not employ any general Officer from 
 hence su[)erior in Kank to the Majors General Clinton, 
 Jiurgoyne, 1 ^ord Percy, or Lord Cornwallis ; and that 
 tho' no regular Cartel might possibly be settled with 
 the Rebels for the Exchange of Prisoners, yet there 
 Avas no doubt that the General's own Discreticm Avou'd 
 find the means of effecting such Exchange, without the 
 King's Dignity & Honm being Committed, or His Ma- 
 jesty's Name used in ai. Xrgociaf ion for that inirpose. 
 Besides the Dispatches from General Howe brought 
 by Major General Ikirgoyne, some other Dispatches 
 dated lati>r in December were received early in 
 January. In the first of these, which is dated the 
 13^'' December, General Howe informs that since the 
 Departure of the Boyne on the 5"' of that M(mth, 
 there had been no arrivals from Britain, and that tlu>re 
 was great Ileason to fear from the prcAalence of 
 Northerly AVinds that t]u> Transports having on board 
 the 17"',"27"', 28"', 4()"' & T);?'' Regiments, as also the 
 Storeships, had been forced oft' the Coast ; That these 
 Considerations and the State of Provisions and Stores 
 had given rise to very alarming apprehensions, which 
 were eucreased by the great danger there was of de- 
 fenceless Vessels falling in Avith the Rebel Privateers, 
 
 (

 which in great Numbers infested the Bay of Boston, 
 from the different Ports to the Eastward which the 
 Admiral was of opinion could not be Blocked up with- 
 out the Assistance of a Land Force, which could not 
 possibly be spared ; He adJs that the Troops entered 
 into Winter Quarters the preceeding Day; that 6 Com- 
 panies of the 65''' Kegiment were embarked & ready to 
 Sail for Halifax, & that the 18"' & 59"' Kegiments 
 having been Drafted into other Corps, the Commis- 
 sioned and Non-Commissioned Officers and Invalid 
 would be sent to England under Convoy of the Tartar. 
 
 In another Letter of the 14"' December General 
 Howe expresses his Apprehension from the small 
 Quantity of Fuel in Store, Avhich could not last longer 
 than three Weeks at fidl Allowance for the Garrison, 
 and therefore he had been reduced to order some of 
 the A^'harfs to be taken up, which, if a Supply did not 
 soon arrive would be their only Kesource ; He also 
 repeats that the small Quantities of Provisions in 
 Store, and the Difficulties that Ships bound to that 
 Port met with both from bad AVcather, & in escaping 
 from the Enemy's Privateers filled him Avitli Alarms. 
 
 In another Letter dated the 19"' of December, 
 Gen' Howe informs that upon Advices received of 
 General Massey's arrival at Halifax with his Ecgiment, 
 he had countermanded his Orders for (i Companies of 
 the C"' Regiment ; That since his last Letter four 
 Storeships had got in with most seasonable Supplies ; 
 That Gen' Washington had proposed an Exchange of 
 Prisoners, to which no possitivc Answer would be 
 given with* the King's Order ; That the small Quan- 
 tity of salt Provisions in Store had induced him to 
 send a Transport to S' Eustatia to purchase a Cargoe, 
 by which means ho hoped a sufficient Supply would 
 be procured if the Victuallers from England should 
 loose their Passage : That he had also fitted out two 
 Transports which were to Sail to Georgia, under Convoy 
 
f

 of the Scarboroiiyli & two a: ncd Schooners, in order 
 to procure Cargoes of Kice, whicli he hoped wou'd be 
 effected with the Assistance of S.r James AVright and 
 tliat he should send with this Armament two hundred 
 Marines under the Command of a Field Officer. 
 
 On the 26"' Dcc"^ Gen' Howe acquaints Lord 
 George Germain with Intelligence he had received 
 from Cape Nicholas Mole of the great Quantity of 
 Arms & Ammunition with which the Kebels were 
 supplied at that place. 
 
 On the 7"' Feby L^' Geo Germain answers the 
 Letters from Gen' Howe, dated the 19 and 26 Dec"^ 
 and approves the steps which he had taken for getting 
 Salt Provisions from S'. Eustatia «& Kice from Georgia. 
 
 On the 15"' January Gen' Howe acquaints Lord 
 Geo Germain that the 6 missing Companies of the 
 17"' llegm'' t& 6 Companies of the 55"' were arrived. 
 And on the 16 February he acknowledges having 
 received Lord Dartmouth's Dispatch of the 22 Oct", 
 with Duplicates of other Letters from his Lordship, and 
 from ^P Pownall, the originals of whichhadnotcome to 
 hand, That, observing by a Copy of a Letter to the 
 Lords of the Admiralty from Lord Dartmouth of the 
 22'* Sep"^ tliat the Provisions sent out by order of the 
 Treasury were intended for the Fleet as well as the 
 Army, he had given a Proportion of Porter to the 
 Ships, altho' the Seamen did not stfind so much 
 in need of those Refreshments as the Soldiers. Lie 
 incloses a State of the Deficiencies in the provision 
 Contract, says, he had Dispatched a Vessel to N. York, 
 where he learned from Gov"" Tryon there was a pros- 
 pect of getting some Provisions, & as the Victuallers 
 for the Navy lately arrived could not conveniently 
 afford a Supply for 6 Weeks he was reduced to the 
 Necessity of j)utting the Troops on short Allowance, 
 so that tlieir Dependences was not totally upon the 
 Contractor's Ships ; one of Avhich, however, arrived

 the 13"' with Oats Flour and Pnnse. General Howe 
 then proceeds to take notice that if the 17"', 27, 28, 
 and 55"' Regiments were to go to Quebec as seemed 
 to be intended, and he was also to detach a jaart of 
 his Army to Halifax for the Security of that Place ; 
 These Drains, together with the southern Expedi- 
 tion, would considerably reduce the expected Strength 
 for the Spring, so that unless a large Force was sent 
 from Great Britain early in the Spring he found an- 
 other defensive Campaign would be the conse- 
 quence, for, by the want of a Force to act early the 
 Rebels would have time to entrench wherever they 
 chose, in which Case, tlio' we should get possession 
 of New York without resistance, we must not expect 
 to carry their entrenched Camps but with great loss : 
 Whereas, on the contrary, if the Army was in Force 
 at the opening of the Campaign it would probably by 
 rapid Movements bring the Rebels to Action upon 
 equal Terms before they could cover themselves by 
 Works of any Consequence ; He then, again, hints at 
 the disadvantages of a defensive Campaign but says 
 that if the Army to the Southward succeeds in 
 possessing itself of any Post of Importance to be held 
 he shall not call it of to the main Army, unless Gen' 
 Clinton should report that the well affected Inhabi- 
 tants are able of themselves to maintain their ground ; 
 lie then remarks that with a proper Army of 20,000 
 Men, having 12,000 at New York, G,000 at Rhode 
 Island & 2,000 at Halifax, exclusive of an Army 
 for the Province of Quebec, the then unfavorable 
 Appearances would wear a different Aspect, but with 
 fewer Troops the Success of an Offensive Campaign 
 would be doubtfull ; He then States the hopes held 
 out to him by Governor Tryon, that upon the arri\ al 
 of a Force at New York, he should be able to raise 
 2,000 Men, and desires Directions in regard to the 
 Bounty-Money, Payment & Cloathing of provincial

 Levies, and in what manner the Officers are to Eank ; 
 Gen' Howe then States the steps he should take for 
 Transporting the Army to New York, but says that 
 Boston cannot be evacuated without the aid of 
 Transports from Europe, and one great difficulty in 
 that Operation would be the removal of the; Inhabi- 
 tants and their Effects ; he then acquaints the Secre- 
 tary of State that the 6 missing Companies of the 
 55"' were arrived ; That to all appearance the leaders 
 of Rebellion were determined upon an active A\ ar, 
 repeating that the apparent Strength of his Army 
 for the Spring did not Hatter him with the hope of 
 bringing the Rebels to a decisive Action. 
 
 On the 23''' January he says he had that day, & 
 not before received Lord Dartmouth's Dispatch by 
 the Centurion, and particularly the secret Letter of 
 the 5"' Sept"^ acquainting him with the steps which 
 had been taken for procuring foreign Auxiliaries and 
 expresses his Wish that at least 8,000 of the foreign 
 Troops might be sent to him, altho' he feared they 
 could not arrive in time for the early Operations of 
 the Campaign upon which the future Success of it so 
 much depended. 
 
 On the 28 March Lord G Germain acquaints 
 Gen' Howe with the Treaties made for the foreign 
 Auxiliaries, that the 12,200 of them Auxiliaries being 
 the whole Body of Hessians were intended to serve in 
 his Army, and that the Brunswickers, Waldeckers, 
 & the Regiment of the Hereditary Prince of Hesse, 
 together with 9 British "3attalions, and the whole of 
 L* Colonel M'^Lean's Co ■ were to serve in Canada ; 
 That the Transports for the iirst Division of Hessians, 
 amounting to 8,200 Men were then compleated and 
 on their Passage to the Place of Embarkation ; That 
 a Detachment of Guards, amounting to 1,098 Men, 
 formed into a distinct Corps was on it's March to 
 Portsmouth, and that there was a Prospect that the

 first Division of Hessians 
 that they might proceed 
 Lordship then States his 
 shoukl proceed to Ilhodc 
 
 woukl arrive in time, so 
 
 with the Guards. His 
 
 Idea that these Troops 
 
 Island, that he shoukl. 
 
 according, give the necessary Instructions for that 
 purpose, in confidence that u])on their arrival there 
 they would find Orders for their further Proceedings, 
 or otherwise that a proper number of Cruizers would 
 be stationed on the Coast to watch their Arrival, and 
 proceed with them to such other place as he should 
 appoint. His Lordship then States that great Diffi- 
 culties had attended the procuring Transports, so that 
 no Judgment could be formed when a sufficient 
 number wou'd be ready for the second Embarkation, 
 but it was hoped it would not be long first, & that 
 the 42"'i & 7P' Regmt' making together 3,406 Men 
 would embark in the Clyde by the 20*'' April ; His 
 Lordship then acquaints him with the Delays and 
 Difficulties which had attended the fitting out the 
 Armament for the southern Expedition, and refers 
 him to a Copy of his Letter to General Clinton, wrote 
 after Intelligence had been received of the dispersion 
 of the Elect after it left Cork, observing, that the 
 Effect of the Orders contained in that Letter would 
 be that the whole, or the greatest part of that 
 Armament, would join him as early as the Troops 
 could come from hence, so, that, he might be able to 
 open the Campaign in the Month of May or beginning 
 of June ; That of late we have had better Success in 
 our Kecruiting, and that what Men had been collected 
 would be sent to him by different opportunities ; but 
 that it was feared tJ/at we should not procure in time 
 for ensuing Campaign all that ivere necessary to 
 compleat the Augmentation. His Lordship then ob- 
 serves, that as he had in his Disposition of Bat- 
 talions included the 6"' Regiment at S' Vincent, 
 it was the King's Intention to have given him that

 Kegiment complcat, by turning over to it the effective 
 Men of the 48"'. That, however, by the slow pro- 
 
 gress 
 
 in forming the additional Battalions and 
 
 Arrange- 
 
 Companies of the Royal Americans, That 
 ment cou'd not be effected, but that he might take 
 the 6"' Regiment in it's present State, and send 
 Transports for it whenever he could spare them. 
 That the Operations in Canada must depend upon the 
 Situation of Affairs there when the Force arrives ; 
 But, if the Rebels shou'd in consequence of their 
 Repulse on the 31 December, have given up all 
 thought of Conquest on that side, which was very 
 probable, there was ground to hope that the Army 
 would advance into the Colonies by the passage of 
 the Lakes, and that every preparation had been made 
 here that could give facility to such a Plan; That 
 upon a view of all the Objects of the Campaign, the 
 securing the Assistance of the Indians was an im- 
 portant Consideration : That every proper step had 
 been taken for that purpose, and that Colonel Guy 
 Johnson, who was now here, would be sent out to 
 him with the like Powers giAcn to Sir W'" Johnson 
 in 1756. That with regard to the wish that he had 
 Expressed, to have orders concerning the Bounty 
 Money & Pay of the ProAdncirl Levies, & the Rank 
 of their Officers ; it had been already directed that 
 the Officers Avere not to be entitled to half-pay, or 
 to have any other Rank than what was allowed to 
 the like Corps in the last War ; That the Commander 
 in chief was to supply the Sums necessary for Levy 
 Monies and Pay, but that the Cloathing Arms and 
 Accoutrements, and also Tents & Camp necessaries 
 would be sent from hence. His Lordship then con- 
 cludes his Dispatch with Congratulating the Gen' 
 upon the Appointment of his Brother to be the Naval 
 Commander in Chief in North America.

 On the 27 April, Lord Geo. Germain transmits to 
 Gen' Howe the embarkation lleturns of the Hessians 
 and Guards, and also a Copy of his Lordship's Letter 
 of Instructions to General Hcister, and of the Orders 
 given to the Admiralty respecting the Naval part; 
 His Lordship also acquaints him that the 42 & 71 
 Regmt' were probably all on board the Transports in 
 the Clyde, and transmits to him a Copy of his Letter 
 of Instructions to Sir W'" Erskine, commanding Officer 
 of that Corps. 
 
 On the 2*' May Lord George Germain received a 
 letter from Gen' Howe, addressed to Lord Dartmouth, 
 dated on board His ^Majesty's Ship Chatham Nantasket 
 Road, 21 March 1776, in which he acquaints his 
 Lordship that, after all his struggles to supply the 
 Army with Provisions from the southern Provinces 
 and the West Indies, from whence some of the Vessels 
 were not returned, and after an anxious expectation 
 of more Transports to convey the Troops, Stores, Civil 
 Officers & Effects, the Enemy by taking possession 
 and fortifying the commanding Heights on Dorchester 
 Neck, in order to force the Ships by the Cannon to 
 quit the Harbor, he was reduced to the necessity 
 cither of exposing the Army to the greatest Distress 
 by remaining in Boston, or of "withdrawing from it. 
 That the preserving his Force, when it could no 
 longer act to advantage left him no room to doidit of 
 the propriety of removal ; That he took his Resolution 
 on the 7 March, & executed it on the 17, without 
 the least molestation from the Rebels, The Gen^ 
 tlicn, in order to explain the State he was reduced to 
 in the Article of Provisions, incloses the Commis- 
 sary's report upon that Subject ; He then relates 
 the measures taken by the Rebels to possess them- 
 selves of Dorchester Neck, and relates the new Works 
 which they had erected at Phipp's Farm, from Avhich 
 place, and from Roxbury, they had begun to Can- 
 
.1/rtV 
 
 WITH GENERAL HOWE. 
 
 319 
 
 iionadc the To\vn ; That upon advice of the Enemy's 
 Intentions to possess themselves of Dorchester Neck, 
 & npon discovery of the Works they had begun for 
 that purpose, he determined upon an Attack with all 
 the Force he could collect ; That his Attack was to 
 have been made on the 5"' March by 2,400 who were 
 rendezvoused at Castle William, but the AVind coming 
 contrary and blowing very hard, the Ships were not 
 able to got to their Destination, & the Attempt be- 
 came impracticable ; That the stormy weather con- 
 tinuing all the next day Sc night, gave the Enemy 
 time to improve their "Works, to bring up their 
 Cannon, and to put themselves into such a State of 
 Defence that ho could promise himself but little 
 Success in Attacking them, and therefore he judged 
 it the most advisable to prepare for the evacuation of 
 the ToAATi, Adm' Shuldham assuring him that he would 
 supply him Avith one Month's Provisions. — The 
 General then States the difficulties he had to en- 
 counter with from the Disproportion of Transports ; 
 That the Enemy, however, giving no interruption 
 everything was got in ready by the 14, and the opera- 
 tion effected by the 17"', after having destroyed all such 
 Military Stores as could not be taken on board, and 
 having also, pursuant to orders, demolished Castle 
 "William ; The Gen^ then States his reasons for going 
 to Halifax, which under all it's disadvantages was the 
 only place where the Army could remain until Sup- 
 plies arrived from Europe; That upon his arrival 
 there his first Attention would be to the Defence of 
 the Town & Dock Yard, which, being effected, he 
 concluded that three Battalions with Gorham's 8c 
 Maclean's Corps would be sufficient for it's Protection; 
 That he should also detach 3 Regiments to Quebec, 
 and should hold himself in readiness to proceed with 
 the rest of the Army, which might consist of about 
 5,000 Men to New "Y'ork, and that, altho' that Force

 might be too small to expect more from it than the 
 Possession, of the Town, which in itself is a most 
 important Post, yet he should attempt it at all Hazards 
 as soon as possible, apprehending it would be more 
 advisable to pursue that Measure without delay, than 
 by waiting for Reinforcements from Europe, of which 
 he had no certainty, to give the llcbels time to form 
 an Army in the Province of New York; That he 
 was sensible how much more desireable it would ha\ e 
 been to have proceeded to New York ; but the Con- 
 dition of tlie Troops crowded in Transports without 
 regard to convenience, the inevitable Disortmcnt of 
 Stores, and all the incumberances with which he was 
 clogged, made that impracticable, & were Considera- 
 tions which he hoped would lead His Majesty to 
 approve his Determination. 
 
 It may be proper here to remark that all th(> 
 Letters mentioned to have been reced from General 
 Howe Avere addressed to Lord ])artmouth, and that 
 at the time Gen' Howe evacuated Boston, and when 
 he wrote the last mentioned Dispatch he was wliolly 
 unacquainted with Lord Geo. Germain's Appointm' to 
 be Secretary of State, nor had he received any one of 
 the many Dispatches which his Lordship had wrote 
 to him, acquainting him with the steps whicli had 
 been taken for sending him a Reinforcement greatly 
 exceeding what he either expected or required. 
 
 On the 3'' May Lord G. Germain acquaints Gen' 
 Howe that under the Circumstances of the miscarriage 
 of his Dispatches, and of his not having received 
 Supplies, the step which he very prudently took of 
 withdrawing from the Town of Uoston was entirely 
 approved by the King, and in the execution of which 
 he had given the fullest proof of His Majesty's 
 Wisdom & Discernment in the clioice of so able and 
 brave an Officer, His Lordship recapitulates in 
 general the Arrangement made with respect to the 
 
May WITH GENERAL HOWE. 321 
 
 Troops to be employed on the different Services under 
 his command and that of General Carleton, and 
 acquaints him with the actual Sf.ite of the difierent 
 Embarkations and concludes with saying that the 
 plan he proposed for attacking New York as soon as 
 possible was becoming that Spirit & Vigour with 
 which he had always actc d ; but adds that as such 
 large Reinforcements Avere going to him, he wished 
 they might arrive before the time of his carrying that 
 plan into Execution, that his Force might be so 
 oncreased as to render his Success more certain.
