NE W- Y O',R K, January
Several letters bythd lift vessels from Greats
Britain and other parts of Europe, inform us, that
immediately after the King's proclamation issued,
prohibiting the exportation of arms and ammuniti
on from Great-Britain, two men of war were order
ed to the I exel, in Holland, in order to prevent the
transportation of those articles in English bottoms to
America.
The Printer from the best Authority tan assure the
Public, that the late Seizure of Arms, Lead and
Powder, made by the Celledor of this Port, was
solely for this one Sufficient Reason---that there was
no Cocket or Clearance for them, under any Mark
or Denomination whatever. [Gaine's Gazette.]
By Captain Cochrane, who left Glasgow 011 the
11th November, we are informed, that the notifica
tion issued by the late congress, recommending the
lending no more orders for goods, had been received
in England, and prevented the flapping of any more
goods for this port. [Riyington.J

November 3. The prolamation against fending
guns and gun powder out of this kingdom will be of
very little use or efted, because the Americans will
certainly procure whatever quantity of them the,
want from Holland, France, and Spain ; and if or
ders were given to flop and seize such Ships as were
laden with those commodities by those nations, it
would bring on an immediate war with them: An
event which the present ministry dare not hazard
with any foreign power, though they affiime courage
Sufficient to fend fleets and arrtiies to cut the throats
of our American brethren. -
The kttersyeflerda, received fro* Boson, dated Sept.

From the BOSTON GAZETTF
Messieurs Edes & Gill,
'J'HE 2zd of December was ctleb+ht^d at Ply-'
month, in com memoration of the firft landing of
cur Ancestors in New-England :- -A leaded and
Discourse was delivered on the Oceafion
by the Rev Mr. Gaß.Hitchcock, of Pembroke
from G^fis ,„ ; and Pf a l ms „ 9 , , 14 ; w fe
for the honor of the difienting Clergy, and for the
benefit of mankind, will speedily be published. A
splendid entertainment nat provided at Mr. Hoty-
A L P r °P riet y and decorum marked the con
dud of the day:, We the Posterity of those illhftri
ous Heroes arc now fuffering under the galling pref,
lure of that power, art emancipation from which
was one grand objed they had in view, in the fettle-
T^!^ 8 Wette™ World ;in the prosecution of
which divine enterprize, they, with chaiftian mag
nanimity surmounted the most difeouraging ob^-
cles : and it may fafely be affirmed, that all the po
tent thunders of Britain, cannot reduce us to more
tremendous fufterings, than those distinguished pa
trons of religion and freedom, animated by sacred
ardour, patiently endured. But, wonderful as it
m ay fe , ? a pitiful number, who bear the names,
and defended from the loins of these ever to-be
revered Patriots, by their infernal intrigues, and
persevering obstinacy, have involved their native
Country, enriched with the Blood of their Fathers,
in accumulated Calamities and Distresses ; but (by
gracious munificence of Heaven) many rays of
breaks through the gloom which surrounds us ;
and, Nil, defperahdum, Deo duce, et aufoice Deo.
W'^REAS the general Ahociation, at their
meeting in September last, appointed us a
committee to carry into execution the plan proofed
for fending missionaries into the new settlements to
the north and northwestward ; and whereas it is nc
ceffary, in order to our executing that trust, that
the monies which have been subscribed, in the se—
veral churches, should be collected as foot? as may
be with convenience, we earneftlydefire that the gen
tlemen appointed to receive the collections, in the
several counties, wauld gather them in, and trans
mit them to us with all convenient expedition
And as we have grounds to hope that the matter
will be carried iaio execution, if a fufficient support
for the missionaries can be obtained, we desire that
ah gentlemen, friendly to the affair, and concern
ed in it, would afford them all the affiftar.ee in
their power. Warham Williams.
