It may he conjlantly chfervcd, that whilfl integrity md unanimity have reigned amongfl our rulers, this kind of warmth has confiflcd in placing an entire confi- 4ence in their condu^ ; and the fame fpirit defcending on the minds of the people, onrjlrength has multip>lied to an amazing degree. This is not a fpeculative opinion, but fupported by the tcflimony of numberlefs faSls. We have done many thivgs in the prefent war, which we once con- ceived to be impojfbk ', and it would appear impolitic and abfurd to flop floor t of any thing zvhich this fpirit of love ^nd union can infpire, and prudence warrant ', ftill re- taining th^ mofi lively remembrance of our vaft obliga- tions, for the inexprefftble gocdnefs of providtnce demon- flrated towards us. ■ With i f i a 1 % ohliga- ' demon- mth I [ 5 J With regard to our private beneficence^ it has he:n elegantly remarked^ that *-^ generofity is the child of affluence ;'* but it may with equal propriety be added, that its origin is derived from a nobler progenitor than wealth, for we are taught by common experience, that fame who have very fmall fortunes have very large hearts, and that great poffeffions are rot always attend- ed by a due fenfibility of what belongs to the common duties of a man, or the love of our country. It is al- fo a received opinion, that the mites of a number, fwell the fum of benevolence beyond the liberality of the op- pulent few, and fo it is, where the number is great \ hut rich men not only lie more within compafs to be fo- li cited for their bounty, but they can give like GODS, without feeling any diminution of their pow- er or enjoyments 5 therefore the eyes of indigence will be mofi intenfely fixed on them ; and when they a5l like faithful ficwards to the great giver of all things, they become the moji happy inftruments of mercy in his hands^ for the defence and protection of mankind, Never has our chara5Jer, as a nation, been more truly verified, or our honor more nobly emblazoned, than in a fteady purfuit of the obje5ls of the prefent war. In the mean while, ** the good in private life have poured Jorth their bounty^ and thofe who have been entrufted with IT \U [ 6 ] with the care of it^ have guided the Jlream in fo pros- per a cbanndi that none of he balmy current has run to wajie.^* to refine upon the vanity which is fometimes imputed to individuals^ in regard to their munificence^ feems to he an error in morals^ as well as in politics j for till human nature is purged from imperfetlion^ we mufl expeil to find a mixture of it in all our aSlions, our iharity not excepted. — Men are not angels. — to dif- cern faults may be a proof of a good undcrfianding^ but an indecent manner of ex pr effing our thoughts ar- gues as great a want of judgment, as of candor and piety. PVhencver we fuppofe that the hearts of other men are not dive/led of humanity, nor infenfibk to religion^ we fhould employ our ingenuity in afcribing their ac- tions to good motives, not exercife our wit to torture the common fenfe of mankind, to find out bad ones. It is alfo true, that we had need be watchful of our" felves, for if we unrobe charity of her garb cf native fimplicity, we fhall in fa£i banifJj her from amongfi us, and introduce in her fiead, a phantom mafked in imitation of her charms : but confcious, as we all are, of evil, it floould in fuch cafes be al- ways underfloody that we mean to implore her afitjl- ance^ i» fo prO" nt has run • \ei imputed Cy /eems to s i for till , we mujl lions, our — To dif. ^rjlanding^ oughts ar- andor and other men religion^ their ac- torture had ones, of our* 'ler garb her from phantora 'ciousy as 's be al- r ofjip ance. :l rsf t 7 ] ance J to eraze our tranfgreffwns, not that ivc are bur- thening our account with vanity or bypocrify. Thus whilfi the warrior hunts for renown in the fk'lds of blood, and endevors to difcharge his duty, we ought to fuppofe that religion infpires a noble emulation in the purfuit of immortal glory. Jnd as there is fomething fubftantial enough in the notion of fame^ to, engage the attention of the wife and good, though it depends fo much on the opittion and caprice of others ; it may be fuppofed that men often fix their hearts on a higher felicity, which is permanent in itfelf-, whilfi the fkilful management of their thoughts renders their "jcry vanity, if vanity there muji be, inflrumcntal to the attainment of the ultimate end of their exijlence. It has been likewife remarked, that charity docs not tonfifl in giving money : it certainly does not conjifl in this, independent of all other conftderations : but money is the injlrument of virtue as well as vice, and the zeal of the faint, in many cafes, will not avail without it. Every one cannot interefl himfelf in difcharging the ex- ecutive part, in the adminiflration of his own charity ^ unlefs it happens to be very confined j but he who is cautious to whom he trufis his money, and means to promote the welfare of mankind, ftands next in order to him who devotes his time to good works : and it feems 4 [ 8 ] feems to be a more dangerous maxim to wave the giv- ing alms for proper ends^ from a notion that it is not charity^ than to trufl money for fucb good works, though there fhould he fome hazard of its being mif- applied* The prefent age will fland diflinguifhed in cur hi- flory^ as well on account of the ftngular mercies of God towards uSt as for the many monuments of charity end public love. Whether evcty one of our charities are proper^ and productive of the good intended^ I fhall not enquire at prefent : we have lately feen one (a) though managed with the utmofl zeal and integrity, yet from the nature of the public refolutions concern- ing itf a change became necejfary. to (a) The hofpital for txpofed and deferled young childrerf. The want of fuch an hofpital in times pad, fcents to have been the caufe of the lofs of thoufands of lives ; and perhiips the fe. cret and indifcrimiiiate reception of infants, has not been, for the time, lefs mifchievous. If we can difcover the means of fhutting out thofe who have no right to be admitted, and receive thofe who are in imminent danger of perifhing for want of fuccour, this hofpital may be capable of the greateft good, in alleviation of the greateft evil. But a Foundling Hofpital, in the common received notion of fuch an inftitution, feems to be a great nati- onal evil in England.

Thefe circumftances may ferve to animate the zeal, and call forth the attention of thofe, who fornl any idea of what it is to be a common Joldier. The nature of our government is m'ich changed fince 1593, and the various provifions now made, are fuppofed to be adequate to almofl: every exigency. The PUBLIC PURSE of this nation, has been very often and very ijoidely opened, and borrowing has been long in fafhion, therefore every new demand upon it, out of the ordinary courfe^ though it were for the greateft purpofesof humanity^ neccfiarily inclines the politician and the patriot to draw back his hand.^ in fpite of the tendernefs of his heart. We have not ft' en in later times, any public aSl correfpondent with what is called one uniform confent, as mentioned in this refolulioHy unlefs, in a word^ we mean a tax ; and partial taxeSy as this feerns to have been, are un- known in thefe more enlightened days. But, volutt' tary fuhfcriptions for humane purpofes, fuch as are cgrecahk to the fenfe of government ^ are very numerous and frequent amongft us, and I apprehend that they have benefitted^ not hurt the caufe of liberty : and if we may judge from what we kCffsme of them have £ been m t 26 ] been in ftru mental in ralfing the nation to its prefent height of grandeur. As this extras proves that the inhabitants of this land had not fo much money, fo it appears that they were not fo generous nor fo humane^ in thofe days, as we are. It is now fufficient if a propofal is made for any good puipofe which will ftand the teft of a candid examination j and though in fuch cafes the queftion is fometimes afked, " why do you give?** no body prefumes to enquire, ** why do you not give?'* fo that nothing is drawn from us againft the wiU. As to the coercive power, exercifed by legiflative au- thority, as that is determinable only by the common voice of the people, by their reprefentatives, it is out of the prefent queftion. The true medium is now preferved : the offices of humanity are not forgotten, whilft the attention due to liberty h fully paid. In this view the extract may be confidered, as 3. piece of curiofity, at the fame time that we may fairly trace out the martial temper of that period, and the great concern fhewn by our re- nowned forefathers, for the brave men who fuffered in fighting their battles : and the moft natural conclu- fwn is, that in the fame proportion as our manners are more refncd^ our knowledge more exalted^, and the prefent mi ■^g^f^*^ ) its prefent ints of this ppears that fCy in thofe I propofal is ind the teft 1 fuch cafes 7 you give?** inot give?** I ft the wilt. iflative au- e common w, it is out I offices of ention due xtraSf may fame tinit temper of by our re- uffered in ral conclu- ir manners \ and the prefent [ 27 ] preient war more bloody and expenfive, as well as irs flames fpread farther, than in thofe days, fo ought the hearts of individuals to be more open, to anfwer all the great purpofes of patriotifm and hunwiity. Sect. II. ObjcBions anfwer ed, IN all undertakings of this kind, it is a tribute due to policy, as well as to candor and probity, in this learned and inquifitive nation, to anfwer the objeSiiom which are darted by fome, and the enquiries made by others. Many have their hearts and bands open, when they comprehend the good intend- ed to be done, who are other wife jealous of being impofed upon by fpecious pretences : and where no one has any intereji in difguifing Truth, it is naturally cxpeftcd, that it fhould appear in its native beauty andftmplicity. The firil objeAion to the propofal was, that what- ever is given to zfoldier, is given to his colonel, as if the colonel was obliged to find him with every thing he might have occafion for. His majesty's ^«tfr^i as living in London, where provifions are dear, coft ten pence a day, each man, to the public J other regiments eight pence only. E 2 The ■ !! i [ 28 ■\ The foldier's pay is vulgarly underftood to be fi^ pence a day, but there is befides, two pence a day, pr 3/. OS. lod. a year, under the denomination of off-reckonings^ lodged in the coloner% hands, out of which he is obliged to provide every foldier in his regiment a coat, a waijicoat, made out of the old coat, a pair of breeches, ajhirt, a pair of ftockings, o, J)air of fliocs, a hat, and a roller^ all of a certain goo4 quality (a). The^e (a) If the colonel expends forty Jaillings a man for this cloth- ing, there remains \l. ot. \od. for himfelf j and it is accord- ingly confidered by cuftom, as part of his fay i indeed it leaves him a latitude, according to his abilities, to expend a fart or ^he luhoU of this overplus upon his men, when they want it, which is generally the cafe in the field ; for it (hould be obferved, that what may do well in peace, will hardly be fufficient in war : )3Ut the public, if I comprehend the matter right, makes no dif . ference. Evfry perfon that allows himfelf a moment to think, will find that he is, fortunate '■juho can get a regiment ; perhaps \i^ is thp younger branch of a noble family, or bred up in fplen- ^or : perhaps he has a numerous off-fpring, and from his rank muft live in a genteel manner : it may be, that he is the fortieth man who has furvived the havock of poivJer, ball, and bayonet, pr the more pertain ravages of time, ?nd has always behaved well ; pught he not to be confidered, as well deferving his emolument, granting that it might be more conflftent if the thing were put pn another footing ? There have been officers in pa(l times who pretending [ »9 ] There is another ftoppage of about fix pence a week out of the foldier's p^y, by his confent, to be laid out in necefiaries. This is lodged in the hands of the caplain of each company ; of which, an halfpenny is appropriated to the pay-majlery when troops are abroad •, an halfpenny to the furgeon in fome regiments ; gueters are provided i fhoes occa- fionally furniChed, or the money otherwife ex^ pended, and accounted for (b). r this cloth' t is accord- ed it leaves • a part or It it, which "erved, that ;nt in war : kes no dif- t to think. /; perhaps ip in fplen- 1 his rank ihQ fortieth nd bayoneif k..'. aved well J molument. g were put 1 times who pretending m pretending to high notions of honor, havenotwithflanding withheld from their men, what was then underJ^ood fni i>e their due. There have been alfo minifters of the gofpel, who have not fol- lowed the commands of their great captain : but we are not to draw any condufions injurious to the colonel, or the profej/ion of a folditr on account of the firft, more than to the ckrg^\ or to (hrijiianity, on account of the latter. (b) Without entering into a minute detail, the reader may on- derftand, that there remains four ihillings a week for the guards ^ and about (ixi» end ten pence a week for a foIdier*s mainte* pance, in a marching regiment : and we all know, that the pay of no nation is/uperior to ours, if any is equal to it. In the mean while, knowledge of the ufe of arms, by no means difqualifics or difables men for mechanic cfrts, or hard labor: fo that the foldier's occupation need not dedroy his induftry, in this commercial country, where labor b fo valuable ; and the more he works, th<* better it is for himfelf, and for his captain alfo. Drunkennefs and dtbauchcry, the ordinary cfFefts of idlenefs, moft evidently Jhorten the lives oi foldien as well as other men, whilft moderate and \ifeful labor lengthens them, as well as readers them happ^. [ 30 ] . A further ohje£lion was, that fuch gratuities may prove injurious to difcipline. The anfwer to this was, that were we to go into a britijh camp with fums of money ^ or butts of fpirituous liquors ^ and diftribute them by the hands of private perfons, it is really probable, more harm than good would be done : but when thefoldier receives from the hands of his own officer a fubftantial comfort, of which he is in needj and this as a voluntary bounty from his countrymen, it muft rather encourage him to be at- tentive to his duty, than induce him to negled it. The truth is, that fuch kindneffes from leaders of ar- mieSf have at all times fired the foldier's brea|| with the greater refolution, confirmed his fidelitjl and created a more generous contempt of death. In this light there was the utmoft reafon to believe, that the PRESENT would be well bejlowed on them. And the fadk is, that the men have declared their fenfe of it, in the language of foldiers, that they would fight^ at the next campaign^ up to the knees in bloody io fervefuch generous benefaSiors. It was likewife urged, that we ought to be fure of not offending^ by any officious zeal. This hint was taken very early, and the committee proceeded livith the utmoft circumfpedion, and with the high- eft [ 3' 1 eft refpedl. It was determined to enquire, if the KING approved, and his majefty's approbation was obtained^ and fignified in the cleareji, as well as in the moft gracious terms. The laft argument thrown out on this occafion, againft the undertaking was, that we had done too much in the way of private munificence. The poor foldier, whom it was now meant to favor, would ill underftand that he had received too much, when he had not received any thing. This objedion there- Fore fell of itfelf. We (hall hardly all agree in the manner of ex- prefling fuch kind of zeal •, but as to the expence of our military charities^ (a) confidering the vaft number of fubfcribers, and the length of the time fince the firfl: was began, the amount is but a mere trifle. If any man were to add up what he has voluntarily given away, and examine what proportion it bears to the expences of his own per/on or family, and the vaO: fums extorted from the unhappy fubje<5ts of other countries, engaged in the prefent war } and at the fame time duely weigh in the balan^ i the «//- Jhaken (a) Marine fociety, French prifoners, and the Society for tlA encouragement of the troops, ^c. [ 3* ] fitaken ftcurity^ and the /olid comforts , whicli he enjoys in this ijlandf and indeed throughout his majefly's iriti/h dominions •, if his heart does not overflow with gratitude to heavePj and a generous concern for mankind, there will be reafon to fear, that he wants fomething which is eflential to his charadler, as a man^ a chrifAan^ and a britijb JubjeSi. Thus a fatiisfaitory anfwer was given to every queftion, and the defign left (landing on its true and proper bafis, unadorned by any art^ unchanged by any difguife. Sect. III. Prefent made to the foldten in Germany. AS to the proper means of exprefiing our regard, the enquiry was, " what kind of present ^^Jhall we make to tbefe brave fellows .<"* It was re- fohedi at different times, to fend them the feveral articles oifmall mounting as follows : 1. Waiftcoats of welch plains, commonly called welch flannels (a). 2.

Some very curious philofo- phical remarks were made on thefe waiftcoats, founded partly ori experience in common life ; but it Ihould have been remembered, that when the cold is extreme, it baffles all refinements upon thd nature of the warmth derived from fuch kind of clothing. If I am not mifinformed, German foldiers are regularly fupplied with fach waillcoats, and fo far from our own men not ufing them, every foldier who could aflFord it, provided one for himfelf. However proper the recommendation of blankets might be, it was thrown out too late to be followed on the prefent occafioii. (b) It is well known, that thefe caps are edeemed a;; a common neccflary, and arc often worn, when oflF duty, in place of hats. (c) The gloves are not generally confidcred as any part of a britijh foldierh drefs, yet in an extreme cold feafon, inaGt/vw«« climate, and upon duty, they were thought proper by the mili- tary gentlemen who were confulted on the occafion. (d) The drab cloth which was converted into watch coats, was originally intended for hdXf guetfes, or fpatterdaflies, to fave their linnen ones in marching ; but this being left to the foldiers choicej they preferred the watch coats.

The whole pecuniary worth of this prefcnt to each foldier, is about 1 2s. How valuable it may prove from the confideration of being provided for them, in a place where fuch good things can hardly be pur- chafed for money, they will beft judge.

The utmoft care has been taken, in providing thefe fhoes of well cured leather, of a proper quality, and of fuificient fizes ; for which purpofe they were carefully infpefted, and every bad pair rejefled. Such fhoes have not been ufually given to foldiers, nor perhaps can fuch be bought in Germany or Jmerica, at any price : fo far they will be the more acceptable ; but as the men in Germany were reduced by the extreme length of the campaign, to the neceffity of running in debt to their officers, the very valut of the flioes became an objedl to them. (f) The flockings feemed to be aneceffary appendage to Ihoes, and that thefe might be of fufficient length in the feet, and of fuch quality as to be of real fervice, they were provided in the country, exprefsly for this purpofe. i [ 3J ] The propofal for this prefent was no fooncr di- geded, thaii madej {a) and it was no fooncr made than carried into execution; for the money was coHec^tcd, fevcral of the articles provided, and F 2 notwith- («) The id of January the defign was intimated to Te- veral merchnnts, and the committee was appointed on the 4/^1 famples were produced, and orders were given to the feve- ral manufatJlurers to provide the things on the 5/^ s and on the I ith, 3000 nuaijlcoati with a proportion of gloves^ caps, and cloth for luatch coats were ready pack'd, and fent away to Harwich, the only place whence they could be exported, on account of the ice, and extreme rigor of the feafon. Mr. Frank- len the Society's late fecretary was accordingly fent thither, and orders obtained of the ftcretary of Jiate, alfo of the pojl office to the agent there ; likewife from the treafury to the cufiom-houfe here, and from thence to the cujlom-houfe of Hariuich, for the exportation of this prefent. The reafon was, that being loaded on packet boats, which are not permitted to carry any merchant dize, thefe feveral exprefs permiflions were abfolutely neceffary. —The xdth the remaining 3000 waiftcoats, with the gloves, caps, and cloth for watch coats, were difpatched away. — On the zxft the whole quantity, confiiling of 50 bales and boxes were all received on board feveral packet boats bound to Helvoet; it was difficult to ftowe the bales, though fmall, on board fuch veffels, as they are not calculated for burthen : and it was not prac- ticable to land them till the 28//-!, great quantitiesof ice being on the coaft of Holland, which occafioned their being kept on board for feveral days after their arrival.

I [ 37 ] or loooo/. but this happens not to be the cafe, ai will be fee n by the account anncsed. It cannot be conceived that a bufincfs depending on private benevolence^ fliould be executed in fucli a manner, as to leave nothiug to be done after two or three months : this was hardly time fufficient to acquaint our fellow- fubjeds, who live at a diftancc from the capital, of the intention ; or to communi- cate any idea of the motives to the deflgn. There are doubtlefs many who will yet be glad to have their names in a /j/?, which feems to be a kind of monument erected to the memory of brave Britons ^ who fought and conquered their gallic foes, whilfl: their countrymen at home, fat by thei; fire fides, open- ing their eager ears, to draw in the fweet founds pf vidories, full of circumftances of glory ! Sect. IV. Battle of Thonhaufen and its effeSJs, AS the great cement of our national alliances, feems to be drawn, not more from one com- mon intereft, than from a fenfe of honor, joined to real friendfhip for our allies i on their part they have demonftratcd great perfeverance and a fincere trujl ^n God for their defence^ in a very arduous Jiruggle, Sur- i I 38 ] Surrounded as they are, by fuch a multitude offoest their condudt will amaze the world, and injure the credit of hiftory in after-times. But every inftance of common danger^ as it confolidates the friendlhip of nations, it endears men of good minds to each other ; it creates mutual -zindnefjes amongft the brave ^ and that which would otherwife depref:, exalts their fpirits to the heights of beroifm. Was there ever a viflory more glorious than that obtained on the plains near Mindetit where feventy tboufand french were cpulfed, principally by the bravery of a few britijh battalions ? Thefe were the men fingled out to be moft fiercely attacked by the enemy, and though the Hanoverians, and other parts of the army, were alfo engaged, in the moft efFeftual manner, it was thefe battalions that flood the ferceji (hock. — Let us draw the out-lines of the piflure of this a6lion, where fome britijh regiri.>:iits were thrice broken, by the force of numbers, and thrice returned to the charge : where their ranks, though thin in numbers, fuftained themfeives a- gainft the weight of whole fquadrons, rufliing on like a torrent, and at length repelled them, and obtained a vidory. We may without any fire of imagination, figure to ourfelves, a view of the /pontoons ii. [ 39 ] /pontoons and bayonets of our brave countrymen, blunted, or broken with flaughter, undjireaming with the blood of their enemies, whilft their own fweat and blood, rendered their defence as glomus, as it was horrible. The precipitate retreat of the enemy, and the fpoiis they left behind them, fo nearly refembled a general route, that it has been often called by that rrame. All circumftances confidered, bijiory can hardly furnifli a fingle inftance of an adlion more Jlriking. The inequality of the numbers, the confi- dence of the enemy, and the daughter made of them, deferve as honorable a record in the annals of time, as the (Ireights of ThermopyU, with this difference, that the allies conquered and lived. Vanity had raifed the minds of the enemy to the full meafure of their national prefumption : the young Jiudent (c) was mentioned as a prize, that could hard- ly add any luftre to the Gallic arms. And what can we imagine would have been the confequence, had the french fucceeded ? We find by the difcovery of their correfpondency, that the Hanoverians who had (c) This was the appellation they gave to Princt Ttrdinand of Brun/kvi(k, I i i r 40 ] had dared to defend themfelves, after they were Tup- pofed to be conquered, mufl: have feen their coun- try made a defert in the ftridteft fenfe, agreeably to the inftruftions given by the cabinet at Verfailles, It is more than probable, that our friends would have beheld their wives and daughters violated i and if we may judge from the burning the hofpital at Zdil, thtir very infants butchered. In the molt candid view of this matter, what but mifery could have fucceeded ? That nation who burnt the pala^ tinate, and pradlifed fo many cruelties in holland^ on a pretence lefs plaufible, would hardly have fpared the countries of the allies from rapine. Cer- tain it is that our friends had nothing to truft in, but their (kill, and valor, and the mercies of the almighty : and let us ever thank heaven, that our fervices were fo eminently ufeful to them ! Nor would Germany alone have been devoted to gratify the ambition of France, had fhe power to diSate : experience teaches all nations to keep her within bounds. It is true, the french as individuals, often languifh for repofe, but as a flate, they are never fuffered to enjoy it long : and though we fee other nations alfo, who feem to delight in war, they do not feek occafions for it, as France has been wont [ 4« ] V/ont to doi nor are :hey perfidious to 2iproverh% as flic has been. It is not generally allowed, that religion has any ftiare in the prefent quarrel j yet we may pronounce, that whilft the principles of the church of Rome in- fluence the councils of princes, the war will be fo . much the more protradcd, whilft there are any hopes of fubjeding the world to her ecclefiaftical dominion : and I believe the friends of the reformed religion have greater reafon to rejoice at the fortune of the day in qiiefiion than is generally imagined, Whe!;her we confider the event of this battle in a political view, as to the pofledlon of territories, or with regard to the civil or religious rights of z great part of the continent of Europe^ the mind is bewil- dered in Liic thought, what would have been the if- fue rl this great da}\ had the fnnch obtained the victory. How far the relentments cf France might have been carried, or what cfTcrts flie might have made, in hopes to countervail our nmnerous fuccef- fes, is hard to fiiy. We know that the almighty has rendered our arms fo profperous over her, in Afia^ Africa^ and America^ as well as in Europe^ that the whole earth feems to refound with the fame G of i I Is t 42 ] of them. At the fame time, every impartial nati- on under the cope of heaven, muft acknowledge the jujlice of our caufe, Hnce every one muft fee that we have no maxims of government, that lead us to make conquefts \ nor any intentions but to prefervc our rights infafety^ and confiftently with the peace and happinefs of mankind. If we look into the hiftory of Xiorth America for thefe many years paft, we (hall find the higheft provocations given us, that can be well (hown, even to the molt contemptible nation ; yet I have no doubt, in my own breaft, but that the fame virtue which infpires us with bravety^ will teach us mode- ration, and give us juft notions of the vicijfitudes of all human affairs, remembering that the world is not at our difpofal, but under the direftion of that BEING, wbofe ivifdom is paji finding out. The name of Tbonhaufen now reverberates melo- dioufly to our ears, as well as to thofe of Hanoveri- ans , Hejfians, Brunfwickers, and Prujftansl It may be happy for Germany, if it alfo ftrikes the hearts of Jufirians, Ruffians, and Swedes, to fee the mighty monarch who has fo long, and fo often prefcribed laws to Europe, vanquilhed almoft in his laji refource by / [ 43 1 by an army much inferior in numbers, when he feemed confident of vidory. Whilfl: we contemplate the greatnefs of this pro- vidential fuccefs, let us remember the immediate tnflrum nts of it, and particularly the animating principle, under God, which gave life to the whole. Prince Ferdinand of Brmifwick^ commander in chief of the allied army^ is entiiled to our gratitude, our reverence i our applaufe. So far as this effort of benevolence fliewn to the hritifh forces extends, it will affuredly give plcafure to his ferc.te highnefs. No leader of an army ever appeared amiable in the eyes of mankind, who. was not diftinguifhed for his humanity to his compa^ pions in war^ as well as for his valor and condu^ : and it is remarkable, that this prince is as generous ^s he is brave^ and as placid as if he had no paffion that difturbed his breajl. He profefTes to fear Gody and he fears no other power j and by thus joinino- the chrijlian, the philofophery and the foldier, he rifes fo much fuperior to moft other men ; whilfl: the prac- tice of direfting the greateft concerns which are in- cident to human life, united to a fl:eady confidence in God, equally exalt the general and the man. G 2 The I 44 ] The Marquis ofGranby alfo, who commands the hritiJJj forces inGerman)\ knows their merit, and con- Ijdcrs them as his children : his extreme goodmfs and generofity^ makes him as amiable^ as that a5livc^ undaunted fpirit, which leads him on in the purfuit of military glory, h,)s rendered him moii refpeclabk. This is aj)parent in a fimiiar circumdance to that which has given occafion to thefe reflexions. His, lordjhipy in his private capacity, has made zprefent to the foldiers under his command to the value of 1 200/. (a) long before the prefent from hence was thought of: and by his humane conduct endeared himfelf to them fo much, that their love for him may be confidered, as an earneft of future fuccefs, whenever another great day fliall call upon them.

TH E thoughts which arife in the mind, upon a general vie^iV of a fubjedl of fuch vaft impor- tance, moral'y, plitically^ or hijlcrically confidered, are (a) The Marquis made a prefent to the men of 230 Butts of En^tifh porter, and introduced this ufcful liquor as a traffic in the camp, at the eafy price of two pence half penny a quart. [ 45 ] are common to both objects, Germany and Norib jimerica, and indeed to all places where the britijh arms hvive been extended ; but the taflc I have undertaken, requires a particular mention of the late expedition to ^ehec (a) •, and the impor- tance (a) ^ebec was reduced in 1629 by Admiral Kirk, and deli- vered up to France again in 1632, in purfuance of a treaty with Charles I. It was then confidered by the French, as an obje£l of great moment, it being urged, that it was fituated in a heal- thy climate and a fertile foli ; that induftiious inhabitants might eafily procure all the conveniencies of life ; and that if France would fend a fmall number of families, fome foldiers and fuch young women as might be fpared from their mother country, difpofing them in fuch a manner, that they might extend them- felves in proportion as they multiplied, Canada would become of very great confequence, France was ever fenfible of the high importance of fupporting a marine ; and it then appeared, that this country would be a means of breeding feamen, whilft the forefts of Canada furniftied materials for (hip building : and we find, that feveral Ihips have been adtually built at ^lebec. The furr-trade alfo was confidered as a great objeft ; and the bare mo- tives of keeping us from becoming powerful in this part of Ame- rica, by preventing our joining both fides of the river St. Lau- rence, to the other rich provinces, in which we were already efta- blifhed, was a fufRcient reafon to induce France to make a point of recovering and holding Sluebec, cofl what it might. This was the opinion of the French, at that time ; nor were txe ignorant of its ufe; ior ^ebec was again attempted in 1690, in King [ 46 ] tancc of this conqueft, calls on us to recur to hiftory for what has already paft on the fubjeft; The King WsUiam'i war. The people of Nitu England had been con- tinually molefted by the Canadians, and the Indians in the intereft of Franct, and therefore after they had reduced Port Royal (now uinapolis) with all Nova Scotia, they refoived on this enterprize, without the affiftance of any troops from England. It was plain- ]y feen, that we were not to cxpeft any repofe in our northern colonies, whilft ^ebec was in the hands of the French ; and tho experience of a hundred years has fince confirmed it. In this expedition, thirty tivo frigates and tr an/ports were em- ployed, having on board, befides feamen, about two thoufani Uevj England forces, under the command of lieutenant general Walley. The largeft (hip, or admiral, carried 44 guns. It was not till the cjth of Augufl, that the fleet took its departure from Btfion, In the meanwhile, a thoufand Engiifh provincial troops, with_^«« hundred Indians, (the latter in thofe days being more numerous than at prefent,) were to have marched about the fame time from Albany^ by way of lake Champlain, in order to attack Montreal i for it was concluded, that \ii\itfrench forces were di- vided, the fleet and army which was going up the river St. LaU' rence, would find the lefs difficulty in reducing the place : but thq forces did not proceed according to the original plan. Several hard gales rendered it imprafticable for the fleet and tranfports to get up to ^eehec till the ^tb of Oftober. On the ith, they landed all their efFeftive men, which did not exceed 1 400, and advanced near the city. The cold was now become fa fevere. [ 47 ] The difficulties which have offered in earlier times, are a jproo^ oi our prefent fortune as well as conduft. If fevere, that the feet and hands of many of them were frozen, and many others were taken fick with the fmall pox. The enemy having alfo learnt feme time before, that they were in no danger at Montreal, drew all their ftrength from thence, and made themfelves much fuperior to us in numbers at ^tbte. Thefe were fufficicnt reafons for not befieging the city in form i and the troops being reduced to about cm thou/and, were reim* barked. In addition to this difappointment, in coming down the river, fcveral tranfporu were loft. The next attempt againft ^ebec, was in the reign of ^een Ann, in 171 1. In this expedition were fent from England eleven or twelve line of battle ftiips, one frigate, two bombs with their tender, and thirty two tranfports with feveral regiments, making in all, upwards of fivi thou/and men, with eight tranf- ports and tenders belonging to the train of artilltry. Sir Ho- venden jyalktr commanded the fleet, and genera! Hill the troops. They were delayed in the channel of England by con. trary winds, and after being put back feveral times, en the ^th of May they proceeded from Plymouth, and arrived at Bojlon the 2\tb of June without any material difaller. After refrefliing themfelves, they were joined by two regiments of Americatt troops J but there feemed to be no hearty intention on the part of the iVfov Englanders to profecute the defign. The fleet confiding of 70 (hips with 6463 troops, including the provincials f did not fail till the 30//& of July. Terrible ideas were t 48 ] If wc confider to what accidents fuch milii«r.' ope* rations are fubjecti either for want of exr ''ince in were then formed of the river St. Laurtnct, which exifted ve- ry ftrongly in our minds, till within thefc three years. Sir Ho- •venden had given credit to the report, that from the entrance of the river up to i^ehec, being 120 leagues, there was no harbor, nor any road where (hips might come to anchor, no bottom be- ing found in moft places, and loo fathoms wihin a cable's length of the (hore : that in fome places ftiips might ride, and their fides touch the rocks ; and that the fogs and llorms were very frequent : add to this the rapidity of the current, and the impof- fibility of (hips wintering at l^ebtc on account of the ice, ren- dered the undertaking in general, as perilous, as the navigation IS dangerous. Here I muil obferve, in jufticc to our anccilori--, that all this is true, but by no means fo, in a degree fuperior to the britiih feamanfliip of this age, as Admiral Saunders has proved. Sir Hovenden being entered into the river St. Laurence as far as the egg iflands, on the northern (hore, on the j^d oi AuguJI eight tranfports were call away, and near a thou/and men perifli- ed. The confequence of this was, that the fleet returned home, and arrived in Oi^laber. In addition to the misfortune, the ad- miral's fhip lying at anchor at Stithead, was blown up, many people being on board, though the admiral himfelf was on fhore. The next defign againft Sluebec was in 1 746, and many troops were raifed in the colocies on this occafion, fome of which were reii> f 49 ] In the navigation^ or from the real diff.crJtics of it | from ftorms at fea, and from the fickncfs to which foldiers are remarkably expofed in flv;)s ; if to thefo we avU chango of provijton and climate^ it mud take ofFa great part of our forrow and f'lrprize, when we fee the bed concerted defigns are baffled. Next to thefe caufes, which fo immediately re- late to providence^ and that almighty power on which the laws of nature depend, wc are to confider how much the fuccefs of fuch enterprizes are promoted^ retarded^ or totally pr event ed^ by the tempers and dif* pofttions of thofe who are charged with the command. One little circumaince of filly difguft ovjealoufy, be- tween ?i general and an rdmiral, or between tzvo admi* ralst have often defeated ths bed contrived operation of a whole war, and plunged a nation into dillrcfs for many ages. Happily for us, the fame virtue which promotes /r/Vw^j/p amongft men in the common in- tercourfe oflife, was heightened in the perfons of the officers, charged with the chief command to ^iC" hcy in proportion to the importance of the fervice H on rendezvous'd at Saratoga above Albany .- but in OHober ij^y, orders were received, for diflianding them, and during the lata war, which finiihed in 1748, it was not thought advifeable to make any attempt. It • t so ] on which they were fent, and the names of Saum- DERS and Wolfe, Monckton and Townshend, will be mentioned with great honor to thcmfclvcs, and to the nation, as long as the conqueji of ^cbee is remembered. When we are informed, what ai immenfc charge our enemies have been at, on account of North A- mcrica\ what rei>eate(l efforts they have made to fup- port themfelvcs there \ vliat ambitious defigns they had in view, and how much tlieir naval power de- pends on maintaining a connexion with that coun- try, we muft not be furprized at the expence our ex- peditions have created to this nation. To baffle the pernicious deftgns of France^ in America^ I apprehend was originally the end of the prefent war, tlie lajl not having operated cfFedually in this grand article, and to be languid in the expreliion of our joy that we bid fair to render fuch defigns abortive^ would ar- gue cur ignorance of the vafl importance (a) of the objedl, (a) Nothing can be more obvious, than the efforts which the governor' "f every nation make, to render their refpeflivc domi- riions independant of all others, to the utmoft which the pro- duce of their countries will permit ; and whatever pre-eminence over others that country may enjoy, which abounds moll in the real necefTaries of life, there can be no folid fecurity for the pof- feffion [ 5> ] obje<^, as well as our ingratitud:. Our thanks ought CO be fuitcd cu our Juccefs, wliicii has been moll woml. r fully Tcflion of naval Hrsngth to fupport trade, and prevent its becom- ing a prey to an ambitious neighbor, unlefs It arifes from the com- merce carried on between thefubjcfts of tlic f.imc nation. This is our cafe, in a greater decree than it is with any other nation oa the globe ; and the bert, if not the only method wc can take, for our llrcngth and power to become permanent, is to render our trade fubfervient to its own fupport, by the number of fcamen which are employed in it. I^orth America contains a great number of inhabitants who mul- tiply very fall ; they are devoted to palturage, ngriculture, and the manufa£lory of (hips, the lad ferving as merchandize to fell to other nations, as well as to carry away the overplus of their pro- duce which they do not confume themfelves : they find markets for it, and the profits arifing from their induflry, are mutual to themfelves, and to their mother country, for they are fup- plied by us, with every thing they have occafion for, as well for the comfort, as for the embelliflim;')t of life. In the mean while, the gold and filver which this commerce produces, circulates chiefly through our hands, as articles neceflary to European and j4Jiatic commerce, and for the occafional fupport of war. By this circulation alfo, thofe who are pofTcfled of property in America^ have it the more in their option to remit it hither, and to fpend their days, either in their mother or in their native-country. The advantage which the 'Sorlh Americans give to us, is of a twofold nature, it not only enables us to take the greater care of H 2 UiCiii, t 52 ] wnderfully providential. By the fignal bravery of our troops, and the confummate abilities of our genera^ by ^hem, as our own children, in whofe welfare we are deeply inte- fefted, but it prevents riches from falling into the hands of other nations, which might be turned againft them and usalfo, whenever fuch nation (hoiild be enabled, by this very means, to diftrefs or re- duce them to a foreign obedience » and it is no wonder to fee a nation turn the riches and power which they derive from their (;ommcrce with another Hate, againft the very people by whom they were enriched. If experience juftifies this remark, how much more happily circumftanced is that trade, which is carried on by the fubjeds of the fame nation, than that which is de- pendant on the caprice or intereft of foreigners. The North Amtrican hritijh cohn'tes I apprehend, will here- jifter appear to be the efficient caufe of the glory of the britijb tmphe, in a far greater degree than fome politicians are in- <:lined to acknowledge. This will be evinced by the future ex- ports of thofe colonies. Befides, the mod natural means of de- fence is to be mighty in numhtrs, in proportion^to the peoplp cf that country, with whom we are frequently obliged to con- tend; for it ieems improbable that Britain will be able to defend Jierfelf, for many ages to come, much lefs to poffefs the fp/etdor V'hich fhe now enjoys, unlefs her fmall Euiopean territories be ynited with other dominions, the feverai parts whereof, however tjivided by the fea, conftituting a ijiihole under o.,e Jo'vereignty^ ^nd fecured by the tyes of one common interejl. It is too evident, ^ha^ all human affairs are fubjeft to viciflitudes, but the ftabtlity [ S3 ] by one great blow, againft a fuperiority in num- bers, with all the advantage which nature could well afford our enemies, we have made ourfelves mafters of their feat of empire, and given zjlab, which per- chance may prove mortal^ to their very hope of any confiderable ejiablijhment in that country. When we confider the difficulties furmounted to obtain an opportunity of fighting on fair ground', the di^mwd^XtJlratagem to compafs this defign -, the furprizing fecrecy and addrejs with which it was ex- ecuted i and the intrepid valor of our troops, in driving of fuch a conneflion as exifts between us and our fellow-fubjefls of North yimerica, is as far preferable to any which can cxift, where there is a difterence in religion, politics, manners, language, and lanxis, as the dependance of a man in private life on his own {kill and induflry, is a greater fecurity of riches and happinefs to hlin, than i\icjlucluating friendlhip of his neighbor. Whatever fhall pleafe heaven with regard to the event of tie prefent war, this feems to be certain : that nothing lefs than a fliiraculous interpofition will induce the French xafttjlill, like true and faithful friends. And as a miracle is not to be expedled, therefore, till a flate of war (liall be deemed eligible to peace ; and blood and rapine preferable to a quiet purfuit of the honell arts of life, fo long we ought to wifli for the total expulfion of the Trench from thofe parts of North America which can afford (hem any temptation to n hi [ 54 ] driving the enemy before them, it would be criminal to fupprefs out joy. This vi6lory was the more highly diftinguilhed on this account, that allowing for the great hazards h'j fea as well as land^ it coft us very little, — the lofs of major general Wolfe excepted. — Here indeed we mujl paufe, and pay the tribute due to the memory of that brave young man^ " who fell in the very arms " of VICTORY,*' whilft (he mixed htvjoy with tears. He was amiable in his private life^ and in his mili' tary capacity, the admiration of all britifj foldiersy who yield the prize to no nation upon earth. His fate has been lamented with one common voice, and a monument has been declared his due, by the reprefentatives of the whole nation. Thus his name will be tranfmitted to pofterity as refpeSlabk as it is dcar^ whilfi: his virtues give him the pofleflion of a much higher reward / He has paid his debt to nature : he is retired beyond the reach of mortal fight, and we may juftly hope, he will receive the palm of glory ! But whilft we lament the early death of this amiable man and able general, let us not forget our obligations to his fuccefibrs. General Monckton, hav- ing difcharged his part with no lefs bravery, had well nigh accompanied his commander into the regions [ 55 ] regions of immortality, whiift General Town/hend rendcreri his fervices equally valuable. With great intrepidity he finifhed the glorious labors of the field, and with great prudence end circumfpe^ion gathered the fruits of the viflory in due feafon ; and thank heaven they both live to gain frcfli honors for them- felves and their country. What folid joy mud it afford to our fellow fub- jefts in thofe parts of the britifh empire, to fee fo fair a profped of being free from the calamitous effecls of a barbarous and favage war^ which has been carried on for above an hundred years ! By what other name can we call the inroads of the na- tives inftigated by the french j the butchering of whole families \ the carrying great numbers away captive \ x\\z burning oi towns; the cuftom of/f«/;>- ingy and paying, as fome fay, for the Jcalp ofaflaugh- tered briton^ more than for a living prifoner /—In- deed they have often bought us as prifoners, under a notion of humanity, and fold us again to our own countrymen with great profit ! Such evils as thefc could not be prevented, hemmed in^ as our fellow fubjefls were, by a chain of fortifications, athoufand or twelve hundred Englifh miles in length. Upon I 56 ] Upon the whole condud of the French, they had made it more profitable to an " indiany to hunt an englijbman, than ta hunt a wild beaft : ** and great as the late calamity was, the profpeft of the' future was dill more (hocking. By crowding into that country a number of foldiers at MiJ/iJippi, and Slue^ hec, in time of peace, whilft our fellow- fubjefls were unarmed, and following merchandize and hujhandry, the enemy might meet, and by uniting their ftrength, become too powerful for them. It is certain that they were kept in perpetual alarm, though not al- ways properly on the watch ^ and notwithftanding ouf mmbersy and all our efforts, it has coft us much more blood, and time, and treafure, to fucceed thus far, than could be well conceived j whence it Is pro- bable they would have really executed that dcfign, which their own writers fo generally agree they me- ditated, had they not been, in good time, difabled from copeing with us at fea. Thank heaven, ^ebec is at lafl: reduced ! That city which had lifted up her proud head, and raifed her ramparts as queen of the new world, and which for fo great a length of time diftrefled and laid wafte our northern colonies, has fubmitted to thft viftorious arms of Britain in 1759.

It does not feem politic to encourage men in a carelefs contempt of futurity, fo as to expofe them- felves to beggary ; but this is often the cafe with foldiers. If there are any means by which they can provide for themfelves, it is the wifeft conduct to adopt them, that the rich may not be- come poor, by providing for thofe who have fpent their prime of life in confidence of a fupport in old age. AIJ circumftances confjdered, it mull be prefumed, that many foldiers in America have worn out their cloaths very faft, and that Zipair ofjhoa will be \try welcome to fome of them, efpecially when the prefent is confidered as a token of approbation for good condufH:, 4 ; [ 59 ] With regard to numbers, the whole britijh army !a » Germany^ has been comprehended under the battle of 1 Tbonhaufen ; but all the troops in America, were by no means included in the battle and redu6lion of Quebec. As it was impoiTible for the society to determine who is moPt in want, either from accident or fervice, nothing could be more proper than to leave the difpofal of their munificence, entirely ia the hands of the commiuder in chief. This was the rule obferved in regard to the troops in Germany j and the Society apprehended the fame rule (hould take place with refpeft to North America, The gallant fellows immediately employed ia the aflion of tLe i ph of September at ^ebec, to their great honor be it ever remembered, were but an handful •, but their companions in the field, in an the arduous enterprizes achieved in the memo- rable year 1759, were more numerous. Many a toilfome march has been made, many a fhoe worn out, and many a coat torn into pieces. Indeed the American war had been condudled with various fuccefs, till by the divine alTiftance, general Amherji prevailed on one fide, whiift ^ebec was reduced on the other ; and he will doubtlefs confider the com- panions of his fortune with a parent's care, and be I z glad ^T#*, %.: [ 60 3 glad to diftribute any mark of the generofity cf hi) fellow-fubjedls.

It may be true, in general, that a common foldier*s ividow in a camp, is a kind of prodigy •, at lead that as foon as one hufband dies, the major part of thefc women get civother : but this is not the cafe of all of them, as experience proves*, and it is far from being true, that fuch a fuc- cefllon of marriages prevents the dijlrefs of children. The tumults of the fields and the fudden dcftrudli- on which often involves the quarters in towns, muft often expofe children to an early death : and in ca- fes where the mother as well as the father dies, what fuccor can the grown child^ much lefs the infant cxpeft ? We may reafonably conclude, that many fuch babes as ufually perifh abroad, might be pre- fcrved, if a proper attention were Ihown to them. In the laft war in Flanders our poor infants were WO ' ■/" • ' )f t 65 ] tVioft effcdlual to the relief of the wrftchcd, ind of thofe in extreme want. — We accordingly find a number of inf .ots lave been bu .ighc home, b/ means of money given to wo.vtn who accepted tho tharge of bringing them. It is not to be prcfumcd but there will likcwir lings, or fourteen days fubfiftance. Where the diftance is only 60 or 80 miles, this is hardly fufficient, but where it is 2 or 1 00, and even more, a; often happens, how cm the foldier who has adlcd the very part that is funpofed, and faved no money, avoi^ hegg'iig, unlefs he JlcaU ? If any prcpofai for relieving fuch men, (hould be carried into execution, an officer or tivo, men of candor and humanity, well verfed in the faence of dii\ingui(hing fuch objed>s, might attend |he Society on certain days, as members of it. This is no more than has been done for the /ea fervice, in regard to the Marint Society, of which his Majesty's regulating captains in London, are members, and often attend the ditlribution of this munificence. And as the condutit of that Society has been fo onexccpttonabljr Ijfeful for fo many years during the war, why may not the So' fiety for the benefit of the troops, be rendered ufeful for a /eiu Hfiitths, wlicn ,the war is finiped? U care is taken, every fol- dier I 69 ] which it was intended, as the committee for thii SOCIETY could poflibly accomplilh with the means, confillenC dier in real need, may thus be relieved at a moderate expence, and find his way home, be it ever fo diftant, with trea'it to him" y*^, -and with honor to hit country, which he has fo faithfully iervcd. Thus might we fupply a defeft which perhaps from the na- ture and coullitution of the thing, in this frit govemmint, the public cannot provide for. Defpotic governors a3 as they pleaft w!th regard to peculiar circumftanceSf but •vui muft proceed by ftatcd rules, and in a vail variety of cafts, it is not to be conceived but there will be feme, which fuch rules are not ade- quate to : and here benignity of mind fliould ftcp in as an snflru- ipent of the providence of heaven, to do that whirh will other- wife be left undone. We fee that upon this common flock of private virtue, many charities have been grafted, which are of the highejl importance. The queftion is, if it had bed be left to the iffuc of accidental charity, to give by halfpence to a brave fellow, or (how our own bravery by giving him at once fuch aid as his circumilances demand of us, on the common principles of humanity ^nd religion \ Another rcafon in behalf of this propofal, is, that as our zeal has led us fo far as to (how great ttndtrnrjt for our enemies ; to aft with confillency, we Ihould attend to our friends.

Every aft of true mer' (y to the infant or adult, to man or luoman diftreflld by ivar, is in faft promoting tl»e art. of peace, was it only on account of the value of lives ; and as nothing can be more confident with rhe hirit of the times, and the humanity of the nation, we may flat- ter ourfelves that this propofal nuill be carried into execution. Every good work which we perform, will diffufe a fpirit of tiene- njolence, and ultimately terminate in our mutual advantage ; and the more we cultivate one common inttref}, the more happy we (hall render ourielves under all circuir^ftanccs. But here I cannot help obfervlngj that fome who mean well to their country, objeft to almoft every dcfign of private charity.
