fine and imprisonment as may be adjudged.
Given at Head Quarters in Bolton, the 28th day of

By his Excellency WILLIAM HOWE, &c. &c. &c.
WHEREAS there is reason to believe that many
persons leaving this town by permission, have,
contrary to orders, conveyed away large firms in specie,
to the great inconvenience of this garrilon, and detri

give notice, that any person, having leave to depart
fam hence, by water or otherwise, who shall be detect
ed in an attempt to carry away more than five pounds in
specie, as heretofore allowed, without firft obtaining my
particulafpermiffion for so doing, shall forfeit the whole
sum discovered, and fuffer such other fine and imprisonment,
as may be adjudged, according to the degree of offence.
And for the more eft'e&ual difeovery of those who shall
presume to aft contrary to this proclamation, I do here
by order that one half of the monies duly detected on
information, be given to the informer.
Given at Head-Quarters, in Boston, Odo. 28, 1775.
By his Excellency WILLIAM HOWE, &c. &c. &c.
WHEREAS it is become the indifpenfible duty of
every loyal and faithful citizen, to contribute
all in his power for the preservation of order and good

Foster Hutchinson and William Brown, Esquires, on
Monday the thirtieth Day of October, 1775, art d
continued for four days following, that no one may plead
ignorance of the fame:
Out of the number of persons voluntarily entering into
this association, all such as are able to discharge the duty
required of them, shall be properly armed, and an allow
ance of fuel and provisions be made to those requiring the
fame, equal to what is issued to his Majesty's troops

An ASSOCIATION proposed to the loyal Citizens,
Agreeable to the Proclamation issued by his Excellency
the Hon. Major General WILLIAM HOWE, Com
mander in Chief of his Majesty's Forces, &c. &c. &c;
WE his Majesty's loyal fubjefts of the town of
Boston, being feasible of the duty incumbent on
us, " to do every thing in our power, to support order
and good government, as well as to contribute our aid to
the internal security of the town," now take this op
pbrtunity to profefs our firm allegiance to his Majesty,
and entire obedience to his government and laws. From
a difpofitien to continue quiet and obedient fubjeds, we
have generally neglected the use of arms, while those of
different characters and sentiments, have been diligently
endeavouring to improve themselves in that art. Upon
these principles we have remained in, or fled to this
town : Neither do we wish or design to leave it.
We confider it as cur strongest duty to cefttribute our
aid in promoting the peace, order, and security of the
town ; and are willing to be employed to these good pur
poses, in the ways and means suited to our capacities. To
that end, we cheerfully accept the offers of his Excel
lency, and now voluntarily associate, for the purposes
mentioned in his Proclamation ; hereby promising,
" That such of us as he shall think proper, or able to per
form the duties therein required, will be formed into
companies, as therein mentioned ; and will to the ut
most of our power faithfully perform those services, and
punctually difeharge the trust reposed in us. And that
such as are not able to go through those duties, will

Extract of a Letter from London, dated Sept. 4.
" The Preparations making against your poor de

even Eaft-Indiamen for Transports. Nothing vigo

God grant, that in the mean Time, some Rays of

Papers as late as the iith of September, by which
we learn, several Frigates had failed for Bolton,

" The Anxiety of your Mind at the unhappy State of
the Colonies, is honourable to your Humanity. Nogood
Man can behold the Picture you drew without shedding a
Tear. All hope of\an amicable Settlement is, I fear,
expired : And yet as much as I know of this Country,
I am convinced that nothing would be more pleating to
it than a Reconciliation Not that the Loss of your
Trade or Military Preparations are cohfidered of Impor
tance ; but that the charafteriftic Benevolence of the
Nation laments the Woes you are drawing upon your
own Heads.
" Be not deceived by falfe Representations of the State
of this Country. You have already in your Non-Im
portatioQ Scheme found how little your Seducers in tin's
City are to be credited; The Bulk of the People are
against you, and your Advocates few and inconsiderable.
It fume Mode of Pacification is not fallen on before
Spring, you will be fatally convinced of the Truth of
this Information."

WHEREAS the Fulling-Mill of Hanover, in

ers ; I therefore, by the advice of a number of my
customers, inform the public, especially those whe
live at a distance, that may perhaps be at a loss to
knew whether I yet carry on the business at Hanover;
I do hereby acquaint them, that I carry on the
Fulling arid Dying Business in its several
branches, to the treated perfection, where the public
may depend upbn having their cloth done in the belt
manner, and with the greatest care and dispatch ;
almost any colour dyed upon woollen cloth, yarn,
wool and Silk ercotton, linen, &c. But dye Huffs
Sometimes proving not good, neither can I find in
New-York or Philadelphia, of every fort or quality,
such as I could mention, fit for such and such colour
of dyes ; and the deadness of the wool, some of it
caused by the hardness of the winter, and for want
of proper care taken of the ffieep, it seems to
be very hard or difficult fhiking feme colours, to the
advantage or Shade they do at home. I have followed
the trade several years in this country, have worked
almost all bver England, Scotland, ahd Ireland,
where it was my chief fludy in each place, to dive
into this myftefy ; and the reasons above given, and
for want of Encouragement, is the catife why I don't
dye every colour; as well, and to as great perfection
as they do at home.
Men's clothes cleaned, and the foots taken out, the
colour retrieved; women's Scarlet cloaks cleaned and
tke colonr retrieved ; as also gowns, Skirts, silks, of
