Given at Boffos, the twenty-eighth day of Septem

By his Excellency's command,
Capt. Story, from London, which he left the
12th of Anguft, failed in company with Captain
Covki, in the (hip Sally, for this port: On the
Capt. Wyer, of the brig Polly, arrived at Cape
Anne last Saturday from Ticuan, on the coast of
Barbary, in 47 days, informs, that the Alarm
frigate arrived from Smyrna at Gibraltar, a few
days before he failed, with advice, that the Ruf
fians and Turks had a battle near the Danube, in
which the latter was defeated with the loss of
60,000 men, which battle it was generally thought
would fettle the bloody war between those two
contending powers.
“ The other day at the North end, I fell into
eonverfarion with an honert (hip-carpenter.—Very
dull times Mr. R— ! " Yes, Sir, very dull.—
The last vessel which was ^pon the stocks, in this
part of the town, was launched this week, and
there is to be no more set up, because the Admi
ral will not let them fail, after they are launched."
This is very discouraging—don't you think it time
to submit, pay for the tea, and get the harbour
opened ?—" Submit! No, —it can never be time
"to become slaves.—l have yet feme pork and
" meal, and when they are gone, I will eat clams,
" —and after we have dug up all the clam banks,
“ if the Congress will not let us fight, I will re
" treat to the woods. lam always sure of acorns."
-—What a Roman ! By Heaven I glory in being
this man's fellow citizen."
We hear the regiment of militia for the county
of Providence will very speedily be called, and
put on so refpe&able a footing, as to be prepared
for any emergency A. troop of horse is like
wise to be raised here immediately.
" By Mr. Revere, who left Boston on Friday
" last, and arrived here last night, in his way
“ to the General Congress, we have certain in
" telligence that the carpenters and masons who
" had inadvertently undertaken to ere& barracks
" for the soldiers in that town, upon being inform
“ ed that it was contrary to the sentiments of
“ their countrymen, unanimously broke up and
" returned to their refpe&ive homes, on the 26th
" of last month ; which it is hoped, will convince
" the mechanicks of this city, how disagreeable it
" will be to the inhabitants of that place, for them
“ to afford any manner of assistance to those who
“ are made subservient to the deftrudtion of our
" American brethren."
Extract of a letter from Quebec, dated September 20.
" General Carleton (with his lady and family)
arrived here last Sunday afternoon, and was re
ceived by the Lieutenant Governor, and all the
French clergy, at his landing, when he had the
honour to be kissed by the Bishop, and afterwards
very genteelly introduced Popery, by placing him
at his right hand in the chaise, in which manner
he proceeded with him to the castle. He has
since been visited by every Frenchman, down to the
meanest people in the place :—but very little by
the beggarly Englijh, (as we hear he has been pleas
ed to call them) and who, we may naturally con
clude, are in general incensed against him, —not
only from his abuse of them, but also on account
of the detestable Quebec aft, which is solely as
cribed to him, and laid to have been framed un
der his direction.
" The French have said, " That n^ all their
"law ruill he made by the General, and the Bifoop,
—and in fa^, if the General was a Roman Ca
tholick, he could not (hew them more refped than
he does.
" The few English merchants here have made
up a collection of wheat for the Bostonians, and
have shipped them rooo bushels in a brig belong
ing to Borton, Capt. Howes, who carries it freight
free, and failed about to days ago.
“ An express arrived here, in 9 days, from
New-York, with letters to Governor Carleton;
and the 10th and gzd regiments are ordered to
hold themselves in readiness, to embark, on an
hour's warning; we expert every moment to hear
of veflels being taken up to carry them to Borton."
It is funnifed that Joseph Thorpe (who was
formerly advertised in this and other papers,
with a reward of §of and 10 per cent, on the sum
recovered) is still upon this continent, and thought
to be lurking in the interior parts of the eastern
colonies. The public are therefore earneftiy re
qaefted to keep a (harp look out, at the different
sea ports, to prevent the villain's escaping; and
also to give whatever information they can refped
ing him, to any of the persons mentioned in the
advertisements, that may be nearest to them.
It appears his real name is JOSEPH
THROP P, a native of Litchfield, in Staf
fordshire.
We hear that the Uhiverfity of Edinburgh have
conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity
upon the Rev. Mr. JOHN EWING of this
city.
The inhabitants of East Greenwich, Pawtuxet,
Warren, and some other towns in this colony, are
also about forming themselves into companies, and
reviving a military spirit, so necessary and com
mendable at this time of public danger.
Yesterday great numbers of the following, in hand
bills, were distributed about this city.

SIR,
T) Y a letter which I have just now received
from a correspondent of the firft credit in
Barbados, I am enabled to assure you that an ex
press had lately arrived there from the British
Court, the purport of which was to know how
far that island might be aggrieved by a non-ex
portation from these colonies to it; that, in con
sequence thereof, the Council convened; that the
result of the convention was their unanimous opi
nion, that a non-exportation from the Colonies to
said island must inevitably prove diftrefling to its
inhabitants in the highest degree, and that it was
generally believed the inhabitants of the Weft-India
inlands would iramediately prefer a petitionary re
monstrance to the British Parliament, in hopes of
preventing a suspension of an intercourse so valua
ble and convenient to them.
Thus, Sir, notwithstanding what is advanced
against the propriety and success of a nonimporta
tion and non exportation agreement, by a few men
whose political sentiments veer as circumstances of
private interert occur, it is evident, even beyond
probability, that should virtue and a steady perse
verance founded under the interposition of divine
Providence, on the justice of our cause, form the
grand conjunction of continental intefefts, we may
exped, instead of being reduced to a nation of
slaves, to become the freeft and happiert of all
people, and transmit to our posterity the invalua
ble blessing of liberty in such maturity and on such
a firm basis, that the characters of Rome and
Athens, when at the summit of liberty, and the
acquisitions of Tyic, Carthage, Venice, Syracuse,
and all the greatest commercial states ofthofe times,
will be faint when put in comparison with the su
perior greatness and unequalled virtue of Ameri-
