NEW-HAV E N, April 23. On the 1gth inflant, two Companies of Soldiers marched from Hence, for the Place of their Deflination ; and the next Day awere followed by Colonel WHITING avho before they began their march, delivered to “them, in an agreeable and engaging Manner the following Addrels, abich in Compliance avith the Importuity of Jome Friends that heard it, is now offeredto the Public but elpecially ta the Atention of the Soldiery. —~HE Seafon is now returned that calls us again ’1 to arm in Defence of our Country’s Rights, a gainft it’s moft bafe and inveterate Enemies ; 1am for- ry there has appeared fucha Relu&tancy in our Youth to appear in Arms, when called to it by the beft of Kings, in Defence of his juft Rights, and their own moft invaluable civil and religious Privileges ; when the Subjeéts of the Grand Monarch are fo ready and alert to obey-the Call of their King, only to fupport his tyrannical ambitious Views, to raife the Grandeur of their Prince, and eftablifh their own Slavery and Dependency, a fure Confequence of their Succefs. — I am very glad however, to fee fo many brave Men, to Appearance, now putting on the Harnefs to enter the Lifts in their Conniries Cavfe,— Let me teii ymz Feliow Soldiers, to encourage you to aé& your Par bravely, that the King in whofe Service we are now engaged, is not a Tyrant buta Fatherto his People, a Prote@or of their Liberties ; that the civil and religi- ous Privileges of our Country, are great and moft valu- able—is not our Religion dear and facred ? Have we not a pleafant Country, and beautiful Poffeflions ? We have Wives, Children, Fathers, Mothers, Brothers, Sifters, Friends, whofe Lives and Fortunes depend on our Succefs : Surely thefe are great Incentives I noble Motives ! to fpur you on to Bravery and manly Refo- fution. The Duty of Soldiers makes it neceffary that they go through a Series of Hardfhips and Fatigues, ag well as hardy bold and daring Enterprifes ; you are to learn to bear Hardfhips like good Soldiers, without Murmuring or Difcontent, the fure Bane of military Exploits — : That your Daty may be eafy, and Victory fure, I recommend, and enjoin it on you All, to have a fixed Reliance on the Biefling and Preteétion of that Goo, who has ftiled himfelf the Gop of Armies, and fixes the Bounds of Kingdoms and Empires; I allo enjoyn it on you to put Confidence in thofe his Majefty, and the Government under him, have put over you ; you are to look on them as your Fathers, Directors and Leaders ; and pay them an univerfal Obedience in ail legal Commands ; you are to do them Honour, and by no means entertain any Difaffections againft Them ; tor fuch Things ruin Armies, and makes it impoffible to perform apy Military Atchievements. On the other Hand, it becomes us that are Ofiicers, to treat Thofe under our Command with proper Care and Tendernefs 3 to treat them like Men and Soldiers; always taking Care to preferve the Chara&ler and Dignity of Officers; not in a haughty Manner, but by fteady fixed Rules of Government, and by fuperior Soldierfhip, which will command Refpett.— : We muft fet our Soldiers an Example of military Obedience, by a careful and exaét Compliance with all the proper Orders of our fuperior Officers ; as a frict Subordination among Military Men, is not oniy necef’ fary to enable them to perform any thing great, bu really neceffary to the very Being of a Military State. Such a fteady Reliance on the Divine Proteétion with a fixed Determination among all Ranks of Officers and Soldiers, to perform thele Military Duties, and to maintaia a’ proper Subordination in Command ; will enable you to do worthily for your King and Country. With thefe Principles you may go on to War with af- fured Expe&ation of Viclory ; under the Influence of thefe Principles, you need not fedr your Enemies, tho® : they
