APPENDIX to the CHRONICLE.

[blocks in formation]

The original causes of the interruption of that union and harmony may probably be found in the letters fent from hence to administration, and to other gentlemen of influence in parliament, fince the appointment of Sir Francis Bernard to the government of this province; and there is great reafon to apprehend that he, and his coadjutors, originally recommended and laid the plans for the establishing the American revenue, out of which they expected large ftipends and appointments for themselves, and which, through their inftrumentality, has been the occafion of all the evils that have ince taken place

When we had humbly addreffed his majefty, and petitioned both houfes of parliament representing our grievances, and praying for the repeal of the revenue acts; the like inftruments, and probably the fame, exerted themselves to prevent thofe petitions being laid before his majesty and the parliament, or to fruftrate the prayer of them. Of this we have just had fome new and unexpected evidence, from original letters of Gov. Hutchinfon and Lieut. Gov. Oliver, in which the former particularly and expressly, by his letter of the 10th of December, 1768, endeavoured, in co-operation with Gov. Bernard, to fruftrate a petition of a number of the council for the repealing those acts, and to procure his majesty's cenfure on the petitioners; and the letters of the latter, by the disadvantageous idea conveyed by them of the two houfes of affembly, manifeftly tended to create a prejudice against any petition coming from a body of fuch a character; and his letter of the 11th of May, 1768, in particular, mentions the petition of the house of reprefentatives to his majefty, and their letters to divers noble lords, with fuch circumftances as had a tendency to defeat the petition, and render the letters of no effect.
