Seite 144 - Neither of the two parties shall conclude either truce or peace with Great Britain without the formal consent of the other first obtained; and they mutually engage not to lay down their arms until the independence of the United States shall have been formally or tacitly assured by the treaty or treaties that shall terminate the war.
Seite 545 - I hope it will be lasting, and that Mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable Creatures, have Reason and Sense enough to settle their Differences without cutting Throats; for, in my opinion, there never was a good War, or a bad Peace.
Seite 456 - For this purpose, you are to make the most candid and confidential communications upon all subjects to the Ministers of our generous ally, the King of France ; to undertake nothing in the negotiations for peace or truce, without their knowledge and concurrence ; and ultimately to govern yourselves by their advice and opinion...

Seite 468 - ... molested in their persons, nor shall their houses or goods be burnt, or otherwise destroyed, nor their fields wasted by the armed force of the enemy...

Seite 250 - Province ; though on these conditions, that she shall in all times coming have and enjoy the right of free trade thither, unincumbered with any duties whatsoever ; that so much of the vacant lands there shall be sold, as will raise a sum sufficient to pay for the houses burnt by the British troops, and their Indians ; and also to indemnify the royalists for the confiscation of their estates...
Seite 266 - I have received the letter, which you did me the honor to write to me the 4th instant, as also those which accompanied it.
Seite 83 - I have never known a peace made, even the most advantageous, that was not censured as inadequate, and the makers condemned as injudicious or corrupt. "Blessed are the peace-makers" is, I suppose, to be understood in the other world, for in this they are frequently cursed.
