BOSTO N, HngnJ?^
Last Tucfday morning came to town from Mar
blehead, twelve cart loads of good salt fifh, also
aquantity of oil, being the generous donation of
our sympathizing brethren of that place The
above provifons having been judged by the reve
nue officers not to be “ viflua's, [the word in the
Port Bill] for the necessary use and sustenance of
the inhabitants of the town of Boston," it was
therefore not permitted to be brought into this
port “ coaftwife." —The benefaction of rice from
South Carolina, has, since its arrival, remained
there in the fame predicament; but, we hear, that
it is now allowed to be an article of food, and not
solely of merchandize, and may be brought in by
water; also that permission is given for launching
the vessels that are on the stocks here; which li
berty, for some time past, has been refufed.
Aug. 11. Yesterday morning the Hon. Thomas
Cufhing, Esq; Mr. Samuel Adams, John Adams,
and Robert Treat Paine, Efqrs. the Delegates ap
pointed by the Hon. Commons House of AfTembly,
for this province, to attend thw general Congress
to be holden at Philadelphia, tome time next
month, fat out from hence, attended by anumber
of gentlemen, who accompanied them to Water
town, where they were met by many others, who
provided an elegant entertainment for them; after
dinner they proceeded on their journey, intending
to reach Southborough last evening.
We hear that the Delegates from New-Hamp
fliire, fat out yesterday morning, from Portsmouth,
on their way to Philadelphia.
The following acl for the better providing fuitrhb
quarters for officers and soldiers in bis Majesty's
service in North- America, has puffed Loth Houses
of Par lament, an I received the royal afont.
WHER EAS doubts have been entertained,
whether troops can be quartered otherwise
than in Barracks, in case Barracks have been pro
vided fufficient for the quartering of all the officers
and soldiers within any town, township, city, dif
tri&, or place, within his Majesty's dominions in
North America: and whereas it may frequently
happen, from the situation of such Barracks, that,
if troops should be quartered therein, they would
not be Rationed where their presence may be ne
cessary and required: Be it therefore enabled by
the King's moll excellent Majesty, by and with
the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parlia
ment assembled, and by the authority of the fame,
That, in fuoh cases, it shall and may be lawful
for the persons who now are, or may be hereafter,
authorised by law, in any of the provinces within
his Majesty's dominions in North-America, and
they are hereby respectively authorifed, impower
ed, and directed, on the requisition of the officer
who, for the time being, has the command of his
Majesty's forces in North America, to cause any
officers or soldiers in his Majesty's service to be
quartered and billetted in such manner as is now
directed by law, where no barracks are provided
by the colonies.
And be it further enacted by the authority
af^efaid, That if it shall happen at any time that
any officers or soldiers in his Majesty's service shall
remain within any of the said colonies without
quarters, for the space of twenty-four hours after
such quarters shall have been demanded, it shall
and may be lawful for the Governor of the pro
vince to order and direct such and so many uninha
bited houses, out-houses, barns, or other buildings,
as he shall think necessary to be taken (making a
reasonable allowance for the fame) and made fit
for the reception of such officers and soldiers, and
to put and quarter such officers and soldiers there
in, for such time as he shall think proper.
And be it further enacted by the authority
aforefaid, That this aft, and every thing herein
contained, shall continue and bein force, in all his
Majesty's dominions in North-America, until the
twenty-fourth day of March, one thousand seven
hundred and seventy fix.
Extra/? of a letter from one of the firft and left of men
in a diffant colony to bis friend at Boston.
" You and your worthy fellow fufferers would
receive a glimpse of joy amidst your distresses to
know, with what sympathy the inhabitants of this
province confider your case. What never hap
p-t^d before, has happened now. The Country
From the St. James's Chronicle.
IN a neighbouring kingdom, of whose fashions
we are too fond, they have been said to have
this motto inferibed upon their great guns, Ratio
a tr.ua regum, i. e. in plain Highway Enghfh, give
your money or we'll blow your brains out. Hea
ven forbid this faihion should disgrace cither the
great or little guns of Old England, particularly
those we are now fending over to New England,
a country which has formerly been a city of refuge
to perlons persecuted for their religion in this and
other countries, as it is at present to many who
are driven from their native country for want of
bread and trade at home. But we feera to be
taking out a statute @f lunacy against them, as in
capable of managing their own don^eftick affairs,
that we may take that management offtheir hands.
How this will end God knows! I confefs myfelf
one of those who wait the event of such measures
with dread, left they should turn out to the lading
reproach of one country I cannot but love, and
the ruin of both. In that case, will not the non
tempos mentis, if not a less innocent charge, be re
torted upon Old England?

" There hath subsisted for some time pad a

the Emperor granted his fuffrage to the King of

Congress at Philadelphia on theist of September.
Last Friday afternoon, about 25 leagues south
of Sandy Hook, Capt. Thomas Fanning, of Nor
wich, in Connecticut, from Egg Harbour, came
across a schooner from Maryland, late commanded
by Amero Andre, of this city; the people on
board acquainted him they loft their Captain
overboard the preceding Wednesday night, and
had determined to run the veflel on shore, if they
could not meet with assistance to bring her in, on
which Captain Fanning kindly lent them a hand to
affea it; (he is hourly expected in this port.
We hear from Montreal, that an attempt was
made in the night of the 20th of July, to let the
city of Montreal on fire, and that Lieutenant Go
vernor Cramache has issued a proclamation, with
a reward of two hundred dollars for the discovery
of the persons concerned in that pernicious design.
We have authentic intelligence that Joseph
Thorp, advertised in this paper with a reward

to Newport, Rhode- Hand, and gave out that he
was going to Nantucket, or somewhere to the
eastward, to buy a veflel and cargo, to go with
to the Streights. It is most earnestly requeued
of those who can communicate any further intel

the persons mentioned in the said advertisement,

Inscription on a column at Runnemede, by Dr.
AkinslDE.
'T' HOU, who the verdant plain dost traverse
A here
While Thames among his willows, from thy view
Retires; Oftranger ! stay thee, and the feene
Around contemplate well: This is the place
Where England's antient Barons, clad in arms
And fters in cenqueft, from their tyrant King
People have so exafl a knowledge of fails and of
the consequences attending a surrender of the points
now in question, that they are, if pofibie, more
zealous than the citizens who lay in the direA line
of information. Doubt not, that every thing bears
a mos favourable afpefl.
" May God Almighty bless you, and my belov
ed brethren in Boston and Massachusetts Bay. My
heart is full. The time will come, I hope, when
I may congratulate them on a more stable securi
ty of their liberty, than they ever yet have en
joyed.
" Our Country People appear to me to
be very firm: They look to the last extremity
with spirit. It is right they should—is they will
submit their resentment to the guidance of reason."
(Then rendered tame) did challenge and secure
The charter of thy freedom. Pass not on
Till thou have ble& their memory, and paid
Those thanks which God appointed the reward
Of public virtue; and if chance thy home
Salute thee with a father's honoured name,
Go call thy sons ! inftrud them what a debt
They owe their ancestors, and make them swear
To pay it, by transmitting down entire
Those sacred rights, to which themselves were
born.
