 (late) Bruifers of the ancient Corporation 
 and County of the Town Palatinate of 
 St. Giles's, in the common Highway af- 
 fembled (having no common Hall, like 
 other Bodies Politic) moft humbly beg 
 Leave not to approach any royal Throne, 
 at prefent, for certain Reafons. But, 
 keeping all due Diftance, on Account of 
 our feveral difagreeable Profeflions and 
 Situations (many of us, by Reafon of the 
 very hard Times being unhappily without 
 Breeches, Shoes, or Stockings) beg Leave 
 to inform you (out of Sight, though, for 
 the Reafons aforefaid) by this printed Pa- 
 per, (our two dirty Reprefentatives having 
 clean refufed us the Office of delivering it 
 in Writing, though fairly penn*d and well 
 fpelt by a very learned Excifeman, who 
 muft be namelefs -, becaufe, forfooth, one 
 fiines o^Shoes, and the other lights Lamps 
 in and about a certain great Houfe in Lin^ 
 cohiS'Inn-JHelds) of the manifold Injuries 
 and DiftrefTes we endure, and have en- 
 dured by a late Ad n, which 
 
 we dared not ipeak, or give an Hint of 
 before; As we are well convinced, by 
 
 paft

 paft Inftances of their Perfecution, that 
 they, and their feveral Corn-Rogues would 
 have walk'd on Foot, fat without Fires, 
 pok'd their Way in the dark, clean'd their 
 own Shoes, and carried their own Mef- 
 fages and Parcels themfelves, rather than 
 let any of us get Bread by our feveral 
 Profeffions above-mentioned. — We there- 
 fore congratulate you on a Change o.' 
 Men and Manners of courfe. — As we are 
 well convinced No-body will ever tread 
 in their Steps again. 
 
 The Lofs of Minorca was a more fatal 
 Stroke to us than the Game or Gin Ad:s, 
 of very melancholy Memory ! And, tho* 
 the Events of War are uncertain (as it has 
 been read to us by the namelefs Excife- 
 man, from a printed Paper, which we 
 always believe ) we do ftill imagine it 
 might have been preferved, had you, dread 
 Sub-Governor, and Serene Sir ! had but 
 half the Management of it. By means 
 of this Capture to the Enemy, many 
 Turkey Merchants, who had us'd to have 
 twenty Fires blazing at once, and of 
 
 B 2 courfe. 
 
pourfe, {o many flhi^inics to fweep, now 
 are forced to do their Bufincfs at Coffee^ 
 Houfes, for Want of Money to buy Coals 
 at Home. Their Wives call aloud for nq 
 Coaches, though their own are laid 
 flown, their Maid-Servants, which they 
 liever did before, fift their own Cinders. — • 
 Their very Apprentices, when they crofei 
 the Way, never pay the Link-Boy, but 
 cry, like Courtiers, another Time, — And^ 
 ^heir Porters carry the Letters and Mef- 
 fages, who uled to flay in the Warehoufc j 
 and, to our utter Ruin, pocket the Mo- 
 ney themfelvcs.'*— All owmg to the irrcr 
 parable Lofs of JWiWctf /

 We dread, moft dreadful Sir and Sub- 
 Governor ! the longer Abode of foreign 
 Mercenaries among us. — ^For, though they 
 are Gentlemen and wear Swords and laecd 
 Hats, now ^ yet fhould the Times alter, 
 they may, rather than go Home again, 
 and quit this delicious Country, turn tq 
 one or other of our Trades. — And we 
 are now, too many to live comfortably. — ; 
 Many Inhabitants of our ancient Palatinate 
 
^■T 
 
 [7] 
 
 having been choaked lately, and loft their 
 Lives, for Want of getting honejl Bread. 
 
 We freely offer (fay the feveral Drivers 
 ^r themfelves) our Coaches and Carts to 
 ^nvcy thefe Hirelings to the Sea Side ; 
 together with their Concubines, their If* 
 fue, and all other heavy Baggage, that 
 ihall, on Examination, be found to bd 
 their own, Jillowing for fome little Mii^ 
 takes ip borrowing or making free with 
 fuch Trifles, as a few Handkercbi^s of 
 their Neighbours or moft intimate Ac- 
 quaintance, during a long Campaign, in 
 this very ftrange Country •, where, merely, 
 through Ignorance of the Laws, they did 
 not fufpe^t that Thieving was i'heft^ 
 An4 we hope, the hundred Colliers now 
 Unladen, will convey them juft out of 
 Sight, at leaft 3 which will be fome Sa- 
 tisfadlion to the Kingdom in general, and 
 PS in particular : where old Admiral N^p-

 Voyage, and their Lives, 
 
 A ftanding conftitutional Militia, of 
 good znA found Conftitutions, is what we 
 alfo moft earneftly wifh for, in the Room 
 of a very rottefi and tottering Army. — 
 And we all! (particularly the Body of 
 Chimney - Sweepers ) think that thofc 
 Farmers andTradefmen, whohave Fires of 
 their own, will more naturally defend 
 them, than a Set of People, who, when 
 the Time comes would kindle a much 
 greater perhaps, and burn all before 
 them. So that no Chimnies would be 
 left for the Knights of the moft noble and 
 ancient Order of the Wooden Shov. - 
 
 Our Taxes, dread Sir ! are infupport- 
 able ; we are forced (a Cifcumftance we 
 hope you never knew) to eat Red Her- 
 rings for a Reliflier, as dry Salt is become 
 fo dear. — ^We talk in the dark, not having 
 or being able to have any Candles : Nor 
 dare we, like Foreigners, to borrow 
 Things of our Neighbours, which needs 
 
 in aft 
 
[9] 
 
 muft come to light. The Soot falls down 
 on our very little Dinners, for Want of 
 being able to get our Chimnies fwept.— 
 The Lamps which Gentlemen pay the 
 fame Price for, as formerly, fcarce bum 
 till Midnight j though before the Lofs of 
 Minorca we could light our Morning 
 Pipes by them, when we went out to 
 Work, which now coils us very dear at 
 the Alehoufe j where, by the great Price 
 of Coals, we are forbid even to fmell the 
 Fire, till we pay for it. And when we 
 afk why thefe Things are fo ? the very 
 Tankard-Carrier, cries aloud, — JVhy^ *tis 
 Cozz of Minny-Orkey, 
 
 The lean Hejjtan Horfes are grown 
 plump on our Hay and Corn, while our 
 Coachmen and Carmen, as they fay, and 
 fure they knov^ what they feel, can fcarce 
 keep theirs alive, on Account of the 
 Prices of thofe two valuable Commodi- 
 ties. — In fhort, with our new Miniftry, 
 new Treafury, and new Admiralty, we 
 (diftantly) hope for new Treafures, new 
 Meafures, and new Admirals; with 
 
 Ships 
 
ships under them that will go three Feet 
 for one of the Enemy. — So as to overtake 
 them, and take all that is in them, in 
 Spite of fuperior Numbers or Weight of 
 Metal, 
 
 The bringing one proper Offender to 
 Juftice, we fee already done : But hope^ 
 no Peticoat or Borough Intercft will ehange 
 his Sentence, if he deferves it.— Nor fhal! 
 our Ladders be wanting (fay the Lamp-^ 
 Lighters) (hort as they are, to bring them 
 all to a proper End, For, by Faftening 
 feveral of them together, we (hall be able 
 to lift them as high as Haman j the Hi- 
 ftory of whom the namelefs Excifenian 
 often reads to us by Day-light. We 
 are ready in our feveral Stations to do 
 our Duty againft the common Enemy.— 
 The Carmen and Coachmen will driver 
 over all foreign Invaders, ekcept ii^-^— / 
 and H — s. The Chimney-Sweepers and 
 Duftmcn will blind them and their De-* 
 figns, with Clouds of Soot and A(hcs.— *f

 Portunesy extlnguifh all their Lights, and 
 leave them in the dark to fhift for them- 
 felves. — The whole Company of Porters 
 will deliver their Letters to wrong Places. 
 So that no kind of Invafion can fucceed 
 while we are firm and guilty of no Eva- 
 iions, like a late M— y. — We alfo wifh 
 fome better Method could be found for 
 the Manning our Navy, than Prefling 
 Men by a Parcel of fqueezing Conftables j 
 who, together with their Mightineffes the 
 Juftices, when they are fo gracious as to 
 difcharge them, charge the poor Wretches 
 more than they can pay ; and then ufe 
 them ill for Want of more Money.

 War in the Eaji and tVeJi Indies,—-^

 Our Troubles, infupportable as they

 The Lofs of Minorca, lately by No-

 body are equal Jewels in our imperial Dia* 
 dem. And we congratulate your Grace, 
 as a Native of England, that a Native of 
 the Kingdom of Ireland, did more than 
 he could, to preferve the former; as No- 
 body, neither of one Country or the 
 other, ftirred a fingle Step to fkvc and pre- 
 ferve the latter.

 in every A(ft of Paiiiament, that your

 drinking Claret privately, here for lels 
 than a Thirteen a Bottle. Whereas in 
 London, its own City, we hear they pub- 
 licity pay a Britijh Crovrn, — which makes 
 us a little jealous and not without Rea- 
 fon, that they love the People of France 
 more than we our ownfelves. A Lie We

 fend you an Alarum-clock, made by a 
 very curious Native of this City, tho* for*

 too invifible not to be feen by more dii^

 (^c, &c. &c. to teach us how to keep the 
 Accounts of our own Duties. As alfo 
 LefTons of Manners, by making us know 
 our Diftance when we come near them ; 
 and that we may have the Pleafure of 
 feeing fomc of our Natives with Cloaths 
 on, we humbly beg a dozen more Eng- 
 Ufi Regiments of two Battalions each, 
 our Nation in general, and more particu- 
 larly the Ladies admiring the Colour 
 of Red Scarlet. At the fame Time 
 fpeaking of Troops, we inform you with 
 all Aflurance, that we feel here, even in 
 this Place, the heavy Weight of the fo- 
 reign Troops in England \ and beg they 
 may be removed from us. Troops who 
 hire themfelves out to let from the King 
 
 of G B to the E of H , 
 
 are abfolutely againft the Conftitution of 
 this Kingdom, and appear like common 
 Kerry Stones in our Imperial Diadem, 
 among a great many real and ineftlmable 
 Jewels J — if we were but allowed to have 
 a Crown of our ov^^n.

 over to us, and be his own Lord Lieu?-

 Things from the next Perfon, who went 
 laft away. Moft of the preceding ones, 
 wl.o followed him, having been ungrateful 
 and ungenerous enough, always to turn 
 their Backs upon us, while they Ippk'd 
 us in the Face, 
 
 
 it- 
 
 We ftirthcr beg the Bounty pn Linncp 
 may be taken from us, as we rather get 
 than lo^e by it ! for we have always obr 
 ferved, that in this Kingdom particularly, 
 People are never fo well pleafed, as when 
 they pay Great Britain a Balance. 
 
 Nothing could more raife our Spirits 
 than the making all Speakers of the Houfe

 To make our Rivers navigable we alfo 
 be^, that Mills may be built, not exceed- 
 ing the Diftance of a Mile from each 
 other, with a particular Claufe, to make 
 the firfl; and the lafl the neareft together^ 
 according to the Cuftom of our Country, 
 
 If we could fay more we fhould fay 
 much lefs ! but we would recommend one 
 Thing more to your Grace's Confidera- 
 tion: AiTaults on Peoples Perfons are 
 grown fo frequent here, that we beg fome 
 Law may pafs to prevent fuch Injuries for 
 the future ; fcarce a Week paffing but 
 People, without the leaft Provocationy are 
 beat by themfelves and others, till they 
 often fpit Blood out of their Ears and 
 Eyes.

 t*rice of Silk fo much, that Nobody will be

 We beg more Divines to propagate the 
 Gofpel in thefe foreign Parts ! We beg 
 more Abfentees to be among us ! and wC: 
 beg alfo, that Rewards and Puniihments, 
 may be fo diftributed here, by fome Law 
 yet unheard of, as for Nobody guilty or 
 innocent to efcape unpuniftied. 
 
 We hope the true Spirit of Gaming in 
 this Country^ has reached England, and 
 that they will not be behind-hand with 
 us in any fuch Ads of Loyalty, and Greats 
 iicis rf Spirit ; and we further trull, that 
 an Aft may be pafled, that all EngUjl)

 pofed to be lick and at Bath, always may 
 be believed when they fay fo, without any

 We have a great deal more to fay at

 now. We hope alfo, that as the whole 
 Kingdom have uttered th^ir Griefs thus, 
 that the feveral Counties will follow our 
 Example. To-morrow is gone and Yef- 
 terday is coming ! Let us lofe no more 
 Time, but the prefent. 'Tis not too late 
 to fave us, though we by our Conftitution 
 had rather fave ourfelves.
