On the qthof Oftobtr, in in a hard gale of

pilot, it is said, upon the silver kays, a cluftcr of
rocks-almost under water, a little to the northward of Old
Cape Francois in Hifnaniola, ar.'d in a few minutes went to
pieces. Thet part of the wreck which gave a wretched
asylum to these people was driven to the northward, with
near 20 perlons on it, without a drop ot water or any pro
visions, excepting a few pieces of pork, which the greedy
waves soon fnxtchetf from their feeble gralp. In this de
plorable situation they were tolled about several days, many
**f them dying raving mad, and those who survived reduced
to the dreadful necellity of fucking the blood of their de
ceased companions to support a miserable existence, until
they were providentially relieved by a small veffcl that car
ried them to Hispaniola.
Dec. 30. On Monday his Majesty’s (loop Surprize,

Vaughan, with 1500 men, had made an unfucccfful at
tempt on St. Vincent, in which the troops were repuUgd
with the loss of fix men (lain and 14 wounded. They
were encouraged to make the attack, by receiving intelli
gence that the fortifications there had sustained very great
damage in the late hurricane, and that the enemy were
entirely destitute of ammunition, particularly powdar;
but unfortunately they had been supplied the very day be
fore the appearance of our.flcet and army by the critical ar
rival of a ship from Old'Frarice chiefly loaded with that
commodity ; and they had also with great diligence an i
industry effeftually. repaired the mifehief which their,

PHnce Town, an advantageous and elevated position,
where the country people amply supplied them with all
kinds of fubliftencc : The New Jersey brigade,- reserved
and silent fpeftator* of the event of this ravolt, and a
mounting v to about men, were at Chatham; all the
militia of that province that could be forced out were in
arms, and hovering round the Peimfylvanian*; they had
behaved to the Diflidentjs with an obsequious complaisance,
the neceftity of which had been suggested to them by their
demagogues: President Reed had been trying his cajoling
capacities with them, but could make no more impreflion
than Wayne, who having officioufly demanded what might
be Gen. Box’s intentions, was answered, / know my buT~
fneft tv it bout a prompter: Congress apprehending they
proposed to cross the Delaware with a peremptory demand
of arrears, amounting to 60,000!. currency, had ordered
” dl the boats on that river to be secured : Mr. Waftiington
it was reported was at Philadelphia, and had made a requi
sition of 1500 French troops to be marched from Rhode
Island on this disastrous occifion; Capt. Talbot was one of
the fufttrers in opposing the feceder* 011 their firft removal

SPEECHof Gnoacx BRve*t,Efq. Lieutenant Gover
nor of Bermudas, to the Council and Assembly, on the
33d November, 1789.
Gentlemen of the Council,
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
A1 a-time when so many of you are fuffering from the
d'.rs effects of the late fevgrg hurt ifaiic, I could hurc
%ni/hcd duly to fhf pujiticfe liitl iiot. uyf\*: -
from private conce.n?* ~s
The prelcnt slate of rhele i(h>nos demands the*imr.c6*
ate attention ot ail the Legillature.
The Revcn uc Bill of th e 4.*.i oi o'ritfnicei’ last jj cotp.
trary to so many of his in oft - j Majesty’s iitffrtiftion
so diametrically opposite to eh<* iaterefts-nf Great \
and the Britilh empire, th-c it is jpy fixed resolve, notonl*
to forbear any aft of mine tnat can in the least aliilf iff r \
peration, but, by all legal methods, to give every afli.W. ff
to his Majesty’s liege fubjefts in their right,-
to what an aft of Parliament has given- them.
# our Sovereign’s oton inftfufti jns.'frpm which the fr.
nior Council of these iftes is empowered to take nn hmrrheC”
government, and exercifc the Governor’s commission, on
the death or absence of a Governor or Licuterjanr Gnver.
nor, the said senior Council or Ptefident is exprelsly forbid
to pass any aft but furh as is irnmediat-!y necessary for tlia
peace and welfare of thefa islands.
The 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th inftruftions, and oihtr
separate inftiuftions, also ftrong'y forbid a Governor cn*
pafling iuch a law as the la* c Revenue Pill.
The veteran soldiers font here for our protection ore
moft (hamcfully quartered, the accdmmorJations of theife
officers wretched, all which, redounds t<r the disgrace of thi*
country and humanity ; an immediate remedy ought thtrt
fore to be applied, especially as ntorc are momently ex
peftol.
The present state of defence of these isles require many
alterations, particulaily aJ immediately Fort Paget and
island, as alio the Feiry.
The Castle and Fort Southampton require additions and
improvements. The Country too, lam persuaded, tu ay
be put into 4 much better ftatc than it now is. We uc
liable to insult, which proper preparation would eitU-f
prevent, or cause to be hazardous in the extreme; let as
then constitutionally provide tor these a* well as all other
exigencies.
I hope the digniiy of Government will be provided for,
and an adequate f-ilary fettled on your Lieutenant Govt rnur
for the time he (hall have the honour to preside here ; that
repairs for the fortifications, ‘government-houlr, bvaau,
barracks, and all necessaries for them, be furnifhed.
That the cftdblifhment of order, good government, and
a better police, will be forwarded ; all afts of violence will
as far as noftible be prevented in future, and* (hdul i any
happen, they wili be feyerely puniihei by law, .
*1 hat all trade and corrcfpondepce Willi rebels ind tht
enem.es of Great Britain will forthwith cease, , -
That all confederacies, affociaiions, i4ra. tending eithef
direftly or indiretlly to (ut pors rebellion, be forever brok
en, and, in fieu thereof, that every encourageinenf hr
given towards fitting out private Ihips of war to distress all
the enemies of our rtioft gracious Sovereign, which it isfo
much in the power of these hxppy situated isles to efftft,
so much for-the true interest of the oeople, instead of afa
lifting rebels, and their confederates the French and
mardt. - \ ‘ ‘• ,1 *
Gentlemen,
11ntre.1t you, as you cannot but prefer Liberty and a
Britiih Constitution ro any other form of government, to
exert yourselves, and to be cautious of blindly following
any set of men whatever whose sordid views cf gain may .
induce turns to milleaJ you, perhaps tending to your utter
ruin, fdreign yoke, and french Jlancery. Believe nic,
Gentlemen, you (hill have my utmost exertions to prc\ont
luch fate; that as, on the on? haf?d, I never will Invade
your just privileges, so, on the other* T will maintain in
violate the'rights of our moft gracious Sovereign, and all
Briti/h fubjefts, ftriftly adhering tu.the very letter of his
Majesty’s inftruftions.
It i* neceflTary t inform you, that the fate Fids Aft
hard on a fuftcring fddiery, who cannot paThaft
frelh provlfions at the high prices they are now at, and to
whom the liberty of filh-lauling, and catching it by a y
other means or devices, would be a great relief, and even
save many of them.
Mr. Speaker aW Gentlemen opHle Assembly,
. 1 an ? heartily sorry to observe the great and unconfufu
tional irregularity of the new Reyrpjlcjifatiyes not meeting
according to the writs; an irr*:olaiity the records lhcur
your Governors have had too often to complain of.
Let me exhort you, Gentlemen, to dispatch all the
publick business, as well what I have mentioned as what.
I may have'omitted. Rcftore the publick credit, which
both records and fafts (hew to have beefi long at the lowdt
ebb.
It i* absolutely neceflary the ferry bridge* be with afl
speed reconltruftcJ. In wirh the Council
(agreeable to the Bridge Aft) it has been ordered to be made
passable inly for the present, as the Chief Justice, Mr
Burch, informed the Board that the lute Affemblv had haj
it m contemplation to alter it to a better plan, which I do
not doubt, the prefeat will provide for properly and sub
stantially. *
