LAST Mondav fe’n night died, greatly la
mented, Philip Brown, Esq; fate Com
mander of his Majesty's (hip Rose. His gal-
during the liege of this place by tho un
ited force of France and the Rebels, added to
the esteem the navy and army boro him, and hiY*
activity on the morning of the ever memorable
9th of Odober, has left an everlaftiag impres
sion on the Loyalists. Hia remain* were inter
red on the evening following, the nevy aad at
my paying his corpse all funeral honours, at
t jnded by an innumerable number of fpedators.
His friends have loft a sincere and cheerful
companion, hia country a gallant and bravo
officer. ,
Lately died at New-York, in his 43d year,
Col* George Brewerton. At the commence
ment of the fell French wnr he receiyelY Sub
altern's commiflion, and,went, under the pat
ronage of Brigadier General De Lancey, on
the northern expedition, where his military
genius fobn gained him preferment, and before
the clofs of that campaign the rank of Provin
cial Lieutenant Colonel. He was at the fieget
of the Havana, and when peace was proclaimed )
returned to hit native city New-York, where 1
he was chosen Alderman, in which
was an hononr to the Corporat : on. When thia
rebellion 4fft broke out he had large offers
made him to join the fadtion. On refuting he
became an objedt for their perfecation, and for
fevcral months was, with maay others, obliged
to hide in swamps tad marfheh, to avoid a pri-
foa. On the arrival of the British fleet aad nr-
Nwy off Staten Island, in July 1776, he made
his cfcape to them in a small boat, and had the
honour of heading the Loyal Refugee Volun
teers in the fuccifsful attack on Long Island.
Soon after he was appointed Colonel of Briga
dier General De Lancey*s 2d battalion, which
was kept in the field until ordered to embark
for thia place, where he had the hononr of com
manding on the left when Savannah was carried
by flora. In July left he obtained a ffiort leave
of abfeace to visit his wife and nine infant chil
dren at New-York—painful visit! just to fee
them—and to part forever I—’Preparing to re
turn to his regiment, he was taken with a rfo
l*at fit of illnefo, and expired in a few hours.
—Let his failings—for who is free from faults t
be buried with him.—His humanity more than
counterbalanced them—for those who knew
Col. Brewerton may truly fay, He was a kind
hulband, a tender parent, an honed man, and
a friend to all mankind.

My Lords and Gentltmen *
THE many great and eflential Cervices yod

I have seen with entire approbation the zeal
you have manifefted for the foppert and prefe
cution of the jnft and neceflary war in which t
am engaged, nor am I less feefible cf your at
tention to the present Hate of my kingdom cf
Ireland t My paternal affeaion for all my people
make* me sincerely anxious for the happineie
aad prosperity of every part of my dominions.
Hitherto the events of war have afforded tho
Court of France no reason to triumph on tho
confequsnces. of their injaftice and breach o?
pubhek faith} and I trull that byafpirited
and prosperous exertion of the force you havo
Eut into my hands, that ambitious power may
c brought to frilh that they had not, without
E revocation or cause of cotgpleiot, infuited the
onour and invaded the rights of my crown.
I have already acquainted you with tbehoftild
flep which has been lately taken ly the Coer*
of Spain. Whatever colour may be attempted
to be put upon that unjufl proceeding, 1 am
conscious that 1 have nothing to reproach my*
felf With : It has been followed by the clearest
demon ftrations of the loyalty and affeaion cf my
Parliament to my person and government, for
which I repeat to you my warmefi thanks; and
I con sider it as a happy omen of the success of
my arms, that the iucreafe of difficulties forves
only to augment the Courage and constancy of
th* nation, and to animate and unite my people
in the defence of their country, and of ever f
thing that is dear to them.
The advanced feafoa of the year requires that
I mould pfford you fomo recess from publicß
business, and I dolt with the left reluflince, as,
by the powers vetted in me bv law, I can have
the aid of your adviee and affiftnnee within 14

The various and extend** operations of thd

sincerely regret; I cannot fufficicntly thank yoj
for tho confidence you have reposed in fee, and
for and publick spirit with
which the large fdpplies for the carrot year
have been granted.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
It is impeffible to speak of the cohtidiiaficd
Us the rebellioa in North America without thd
deepest concern; but we have given fich un
qeeftionable proofs of our sincere difpofirion td
put an end to those troubles, that I must ftili
hope that the malignant designs of the enemies
of Great-Britain cannot long prevail against thd
evident intCrefls of those unhappy provinces,
*nd that they will not blindly perlift in
ring an unnatural and dangerous connexion
with a foreign power tu peace and re-union with
their Mother Country.
