It is with great pleasure we learn from your Excellency, that the confequeuces of the late congress promise us a per manent peace and friendfhip with the savage nations that surround us, and to be of general benefit, as well as of par ticular moment, to this province; in this light we look up on the cession made by the Creeks of the lands heretofore in an event which, although eflentially neceflary to the interest and tranquility of the colony, yet, from many concurring circumstances, we despaired of being effe&ed.

The afturance your Excellency gives that tke treaty (hall be laid before us yields us much latisfa&ion. We moft fincerelyjoin with your Excellency in ourfenti ments of the late peace, the very effe&ual benefits derived * from it are doubtless inestimable blessings both to this and the other fouthem provinces; the prolped of a continuance of friend (hip fcdth the Indians in a particular manner affeds us, and mull afford us great ease and hanpinefs. Our duty and inclination will naturally induce us to con cur in any measure that may tend to promote the general good of the province; and your Excellency may be allured of our compliance therewith, in particular with refped to the two very neceflary bills you have mentioned, and that we (hall always study to preserve that unanimity recommend ed by your Excellency, and of which you give us so candid and worthy an example.

NOBLE JONES, President. *3. *763- Honourable Gentlemen, YOUR very obliging address merits my mft grateful acknow ledgment s, and if eel the great est fatisfadion in your appro bation of my endeavours for his Majefty'sfervice, and the pro/perity of this province, and to promte tbi one , and deserve the other , will always be my ambition. JAMES WRIGHT. Nov. 23, 1763. To his Excellency JAMES WRIGHT, Efjuire, Captain-Gene ral and Governor in Chief of bis Majesty's province of Georgia, Chancellor and Vice-Admiral of the fame. The humble Address of the Commons House of Assembly. May it please your Excellency , WE his Majesty's dutiful and loyal fubie&s, the Com mons of Georgia, met in General Afiembly, do present your Excellency our sincere thanks for your very kind and affc&ionate speech to both houfcs of assembly at the opening of this session. We cannot in the lead regret the delay of our meeting in General Afiembly, his Majesty's fcrvice, and our own pre servation and prosperity, so neceffamy requiring your Ex cellency's attendance at the congress with the southern Go vernors, Capt. Stuart the Supenntendant, and the different tribes'of Indians, at Augusta, in order to cultivate and promote a more firm and permanent peace and friendfhip be tween his Majesty and the southern nations of Indians. This recent mftance of his Majesty’s truly paternal care for the fafety and welfare of his American fubje&s demands our jnoft grateful acknowledgments, and that this congress, so * widely planned by his Majesty, has terminated so much to the general benefit, and in particular to the advantage of this province, both truth and gratitudeoblige us to aferibe to your Excellency’s steady perseverance in carrying his Majesty’s gracious purposes into execution, and the wife and prudent tncafures invariably pursued by you in bringing this important business to so happy a period. Wc arc much obliged to your Excellency for the afifiirance that \ou will order a copy of the treaty fettled and agreed Upon at the late congress to be laid before the Assembly, and we have not a doubt but it will be highly pleating and fatisfaclory to us. If * Aore early opportunity had offered. *e Ihould, u thu house now doth, join in moft henrty eongrntuUtiew oh the conclusion of the peace with France and Spain, as a n ▼ent moft happy and glorious to his Majesty and the arms of Great-Bntain, and, as your Excellency justly observes, particularly beneficial to the southern colonics. That wc are happv in the confequtnces of this peace, and the great probability and profpc& of continuing in peace and friendship with the several nations of Indians',’ we mud gratefully acknowledge; the fidelity of the Creeks we had great reason to fufpe&, and with the highest fiuisfac tion we receive thepleafmg information of the present paci fick disposition and good intentions of thofc Indians, of which the cession ot (o valuable a tra& of land on our wcll ern frontiers is the bed proof. . Should be extremely insensible of the happiness we en joy under your Excellency’s administration, did we not give you the assurance that nothing (hall be wanting in us to preserve that general harmony stnd confidence your Excellency so affe&ionately mentions. We are, Sir, next to afuire you, that this house will at tend to and concur with you in every measure to promote the general welfare and prosperity of this province, and that we will particularly confider of and frame such bills as you have recommended to our consideration. Though we never have experienced from your Excellency any demands but what were ncceffary for the welfare of the province, vet it cannot but be pleating to us, that you have no particular article of expence at this time to recommend to us, especially as the neceflary services of the lafl year obliged us to raise a sum rather above the abilities of our conitituents; for theufual eilimate and service of the current* year we will chearfully provide, and you may, Sir, depend on it that we will, with that unanimity which has hitherto subsisted, give dispatch to the publick business.
