The humble Address of the House of Delegates.
May it please your Excellency,
That your Excellency may be enabled to give an Answer to the
Letter from General Amherst, which you was pleased to communi-
cate to us at the Opening of the Session, we have thought proper
to send you a Copy of the Resolves, entered into on a full Con-
sideration of that and the other Papers then laid before us.

Agreeable to these Resolves, a Bill (justifiable as we apprehend
upon the Principles of our Constitution, and consistent with our
Rights and Privileges) was prepared, and passed this House with all
possible Dispatch, and sent to the Upper House for their Concur-
rence; and although that Bill has been returned to us with a Negative,
by which our Endeavours to promote his Majesty's Service have
been frustrated, we are well satisfied that we have, on our Part,

Subjects.
