IC.782.015
16 May 1782:21 (14/715)
House of Commons, February 21. General Conway entered upon
the announced enquiry into the mode of conducting the
American war. . . [6 columns. At bottom of first column:]
Mr. Rigby rose next. He believed the people were tired of
the American war, and indeed he was perfectly tired of it.
That the people were tired he was confident, from a
circumstance he had observed last week; for being in the
country, and hearing the bells ring, he directly concluded
that it was on account of the majority obtained over the
Ministry; but on enquiry was told, it was because there "was
peace with America;" so little were the people acquainted
with the nature of the business, that they thought an act of
Parliament could establish peace.
