Speaker, and Gentlemen ' of the Houfe-of Burgefes. ‘ “T was very far from my Intention, when we laft I parted, to ca!l you together again {o {oon ; but, . by a Letter I have received from Colonel Byrd, I find our Forces will moft probably be in Ac: tion before Fort Duquefie at the very T'ime prefcrib- ed for their Return into this Colony : [ therefoie thought itnot only: expedient, but receflary to fum- njon you on this Occafion. 7 . " The withdrawing our Regiments from the reft of His Majefty's Forces aca 'Fime when the Event of the Expedition (forwhich only Partof them were raifed) is at the Crifis, would be the greateft Differ- vice to the common Caufe, and at the fame Time fubje®t this Colony to all the Cenfure Dilappoint- ment ¢an invent for the Failure of the Expedition, if that-fhould be the fatal Confequence of fuch Mea- fures. . But, when I refle® on the whole Tenor of your Conduft during the Coutfe ot the War, 1 feel the firongelt Conviion'that [ need not ufe thefe, or a- ny other Arguments, to induce you to make fuch Alterations in the Difpofal of, and Provifions for, the Regiments, as the:prefent Circum(tances require : I ~am very férfible that one of our Regiments cannot i, be continued. beyond the firlt of December, with - 2 o t Breach of the puablick Faith, which I fhall- ai- .ways deem t00 facred to be touched ; but 1 have | pygreat Reafor to hope that Honaur will fupply the )\ ggPlace of Law, and thasthis Body of Virginians will . ™ . Y¥orH “be influenced by: the firft, to do that voluntarily, {which the'latter cannot compel them to. i 7 "I have nothing to‘add, but to recommend you to the atmoft Expedicion 3 foe if your Refolves are not known to the Army before the ficlt of December, all will be fraftrated : And, in order to remove all Ob- ftacles which may occafion Delay, L am defirous {on my Part) to wave all Forms of Ceremony, which Cultom may have introduced in Relation to myfelf.” A trae Chara&er of the King of PrussiA, He is the affertor of liberty, Thé terror of France, Magnanimous without pride, Valiant without violesce, Viforious without trinmph, Altive without wearinefs, Caatious without fear, . His thoughts are wife and fecret. His words few and faithful. His AQions many and heroick, His government without tyranny, His jultice without rigour, And His religion without fuperflition. But words are wanting to fay what: Say all that's great and good, and he is that. ‘s I: ADELPHIA, Nov. 23.
