Gentleman's Magazine:

For the YEAR 1762.

CONTAINING,

(Befides proper Indexes to the Volume, General Title, and Preface; an accu rate Map of the British Empire in North America, as fettled by the Prelimina ries; and a Chart of the Entrance of the River Missifippi)

[blocks in formation]

General Obfervations on the Preliminaries of Peace, fo far as they relate to the Continent of North America; with References to a Map, exhibiting the Ceffations made to us by the French in that Country.

IT is remarkable, that fince the commencement of the year 1762, we proclaimed war against Spain, after having fultained a war againft France and her allies, in every quarter of the globe for near feven years; and that, before the end of it, having repreffed the attempts of the Spaniards, against Portugal, feized the treasure they were bringing from

South America to a vast amount, taken the Havannah, and opened an eafy way to the conquest of whatever they poffefs in that part of the world, we have compelled them in a peace, with advantages that we have been long feeking, but could never obtain, and a ceffion of a large tract of country, which may not only be rendered ufeful itself, but will tend greatly to the convenience and fecurity of the vaft territory which we now poffefs in North America, without rival or com petitor. There are, perhaps, very few inftances in hiftory, of an expedition equally distant and important, planned, undertaken, and executed, within the fame fpace of time, without remitting any other effort, "or

by a mere exertion of our frength, foo great and too long continued. There are certain conceffions which the enemy will find it her intereft to make for the advantages we offer; but there are conceffions to which no immediate advantages will be thought equivalent; we have already brought France to that boundary, beyond which fhe can never be brought; lefs would not have brought her thus far, and more would bring her no farther. It is upon this fuppofition, that the moft refpectable affembly in the nation, in their Addrefs to his Majefty, have left it upon record, that they "can"not fufficiently admire that wisdom "which feized the fortunate hour of

It has, however, been the peculiar intelicity of the prefent adminiftration, to fuffer both by advocates and opponents: The opponents have been complaining, that we have given away our conquefts without an equivalent; and the advocates have lamented, that fuch conquefts have been made: Our fucceffes, on one fide, have been numbered among our misfortunes, becaufe they were fuppofed to render peace impoffible, by producing fuch demands as could never be granted; and, on the other fide, it has been infifted that nothing fhould be given up. It may, however, be asked of one of thefe parties, whether they think" that we should have been able to make peace with France upon terms equally advantageous with thofe of the pre-c Tent treaty, if we had not made the conquefts which they affect to regret? And of the other, whether we could have made peace with France at all, if we had not made the conceffion's of which they complain. That we could not have made peace upon terms equally advantageous, if we D had been lefs fuccefsful, will fearce be denied, nor can any motive be af figned for our making a lefs advan

ageous peace now, than might now, be made That we might make a bet ter peace, when our fuccefles fhould be multiplied by a continuation of the war, is a pofition, however fpecious, not haltily to be admittted; our enemies could not, by our utmoft efforts, be reduced to the neceffity of confenting that we should keep all we should gain, becaufe fuch confent would not produce them an equivalent advantage; and a perpe.tual war, merely defenfive on our fide to keep what we fhould gain, would load us with a burthen under which we fhould inevitably fink; and it is irrefragably true that our conquefts from France have very nearly reached their utmoft bounds little remains to Prance more than muft for ever remain to her, in fpight of all our efforts, however vigorous and perfevering: And, if it is certatn that fomething more might be gained, and that what is gained might for a time be kept; it is alfo certain that we might, by a reverse of fortune, not only be difappointed in attempts of farther acquifition, but have part of our prefent acquifitions wrefted from

reaping the advantages of our vic"tories, while we are yet on the "fummit of our glory, and before

we have experienced any reverse "of fortune;" and it is upon this principle that a very great majority of both houfes of parliament approved the prefent (preliminaries when they were laid before them.

The Editors of the Gentleman's Magazine, think they cannot better clofe the year, than by adding a Map of North America, in which the territory now ceded and guaranteed to us, is afcertained, by a visible, indubitable, and unchangeable bound, the bank ofariver, and fo diftinguifhed by tranfverfe lines as to appear at one view. If the reader will take the trouble to refer to page 296 of our 25th volume, and compare the map there given with that which we have now exhibited, he will eafily discern how much more we have gained by the prefent treaty than we claimed as our right at t the commencement of the war, and were then in poffeffion of.

That all the countries included in the vast tract of territory now yielded to Great Britain, are not equally fertile, cannot be denied; but that an immenfe country, bordering upon and bounded by the Miffippi and Obio, Gabounds with every necellary of life, will appear by the following lift of its natural productions:*

1. Indian corn, two crops in a year, oats larger than ours, and the oatmeal much finer.

2, Limes in great abundance, and prunes, though wild, much better than thofe which are cultivated in gardens Hin Spain.

3. Vines of feveral kinds, growing wild in the woods, fome climbing the trees,others creeping on the ground. & a third

4. Sheep as good as English, their wool better, they being of the Spanish breed..

5. Hogs very good, turkies, buftards, pheasants, partridges, pidgeons, & r. and game of all forts, fitted to the climate, without number.

6. Cotton growing wild almost all the country over, in quantity infi nitely fuperior, and in quality, when fully cultivated, excelling the Weft India illes.

7. Coffee, tea, and fugar, grow here. 8. The juna, or junal-tree, all the various forts of which are to be found in great plenty on the borders of the Millippi. Hence cochineal.

Sentiments of an Ancient Briton, on the prefent Political Difputes."

SIR,

Hile the English and Scoth are bickeringwith one another about places, poor Wales is never fo much as mentioned, all that she enjoys is only the pleasure of hearing them fcold one another. The English upbraid the Scotch with coming from Scythia ; and the Scotch reproach them with coComing from Saxony. The first charge the laft with pouring into the South, and never returning back again; the Scotch retaliate, and afk the English how many of them returned back to Saxony after their first emigration from thence. The English accufe the Scotch at prefent of making a bad peace; whether they (the English) did not, the Scotch call the English to witnefs,

10. Whole forefts of mulberry-irees; D hence filk,

11. Hemp and flax grow naturally wild, and may be cultivated to any extent, tho' in other colonies they have failed.

12. Salt, the great principle of health and life.

13. Copec, or the pitch-ftones, which, mixed with greafe, is much better for paying fhips bottoms than our pitch, as it does not in hot climates melt fo foon.

14. Timbers, under which denomination oaks, as fine as ever graced the foreft, fir, cedar, fpruice, and pine are included; hence pitch, tar, and rofin. The above articles are the produce of, and grace the furface. Within the bowels. and below the furface, lie

15. Mines of copper, iron, led, cinnabar, and coal.

The adventitious productions are rice, indigo, and tobacco; moft cer tainly of these three there can be no doubt, and moft probably

2. Almonds, and their oil.

fince their union, make two bad ones, both for themselves and them, viz. that of Utrecht, and that of Aix la Cha pelle. As therefore they can neither please themselves nor one another, I hope as (Mr Urban) you seem to love the quiet and profperity of your coun try, you will communicate the follow ing modest proposal to it, and that is, that the next peace be a Welch one. The English are not to be trufted again, as by the confeffion of most of them. felves they have made two bad ones already; nor are the Scotch to be trusted a fecond time, as one bad one is eF-nough. Let us therefore try Wales, and hur ownfelf promifes to do hur best to fteer clear of all the errors of her two filters. But if the should be fo unfortunate as not to give content neither, the modeftly suggests them to try an Irish peace; and doubts not but fifter Ireland will keep free of all bulls and blunders in the matter. But if Gfifter Ireland fhould be fo unhappy alfo as not to please, then the fees no refource but in one expedient; and that is, to employ fome friendly foreign power for ever after to make our peace for us. For though he should make a bad one, we cannot, it seems, be in a worse ftate than we have hitherto been; and fhall withall reap this additional advantage from it, that we shall have, peace
