The Petition of grievances and apprehensions from Boston was presented last Friday by Colonel Barre, in the Inner Room, and the Colonel had not the honour to kiss hands.
It is said there is a design to propose a change in the government of our North-American colonies, and form an union of the whole on a new model. In this plan, the incorporated provinces are not to be subject to the British parliament, but to remain dependent on the Crown, in the same manner as Ireland; having a parliament of their own, and being governed, with respect to the Crown prerogative, by a Viceroy or Lord Lieutenant.
