The New Hampshire Gazette

To the PRINTER.

In the beginning of the war, before Mr. Pitt came into power, we lost the Island of Minorca, by the usual incapacity and pusillanimity of the foul dregs of Sir R.., W ....'s foul and pusillanimous administration. After Mr. Pitt came to have the direction of the war, we took Cape Breton, all Canada, Senegal and Goree in Africa, Guadeloupe, St. Domingo, Pondicherry, Belleisle, and probably Martinico. Not to mention the greater half of the French navy destroyed by ours. All these (except Canada) Mon. Buly insisted, should be restored to France. Mr. Pitt insisted this they should not. Mon. Buly went his way. Mr. Pitt reigned.

N. B. It is reported that a certain Ambassador residing here has wrote to his Court, to advise a Paeudiculum, or bull feast, upon this occasion.

To the Lord Mayor, the Alderman, the Common Council, and every individual Tradesman in the magnificent and most opulent City of London.

His trust; let us, one and all, ay, God forbid!

My Lord and Gentlemen,

Were we not but t'other day the scoff, the scorn, the sneer of the whole world! upon the brink of ruin? Are we not now the most powerful, the most glorious people upon the face of the globe, full of victory, dreaded by every nation? Give your dreadful navy but orders, and they are obeyed with success: say unto your undaunted, victorious troops, take a second Belleisle, it will be done. We know Heart of Oaks are our ships, Heart of Oak are our Men... already proved. The art of War is a science, it is not to be learnt in a hurry; practice and long experience teach the General, the Subaltern and common match. We know they have all their lessons ready, upon all, upon every occasion... is not all this owing to the great -- uncorrupted man, P**? As an island we are calculated to conquer the whole world.

Keep up our marine, who can come to offend us? Make but a glorious, honourable Peace, it must be lasting. Have we not the Trade of almost the whole globe in our possession? I have heard a great and good character of Lord B**e, and I will believe it true because he is beloved by his King, valued and respected by the great man, Mr. P***. The best of Kings that ever filled a British Throne, or any other; full of goodness! without the least tincture of guile; he will hear, he will redress your grievances, and will paint out, and deliver up the latent serpents with their timorous Gallic souls. Now we are fit to fight the whole world, because we are ready. Some will say, But where's the money? Ask a free gift. The King's coffers will be more than full; let us not be insulted by any power upon earth. You must insist upon a glorious Peace; You are upon the spot; you can see as well as hear; you must stand up for the whole nation. When a glorious Peace is obtained, what are we not to expect from such a King: who has made choice of such a Queen, full of goodness? May the kindest blessings of Heaven ever guard, ever protect them; as long as health shall waft the pleasing gale; and may their offspring fill the British Throne till succeeding generations shall be no more:

I am, Lord and Gentlemen, a most dutiful subject to my King and Queen, a sincere lover of my country, a true Briton, and your humble servant.
