Leeds, June 9. A letter from Exeter, dated the
^lft ult. fays, “ The appearance of the ground in
this part of the country seems really frightful for
want of rain, in many parts the grass is quite burnt
up, and in several parts of Dorfetfhire the cracks in
the ground are so large, that it is dangerous to walk
in the fields." But we hear from Scotland, that
they have had fine showery weather, and that corn
and grass never looked better.

matters are conduced, it is said an express was lent
off on Wednesday last to General Gage, containing
some proposals which he is to offer immediately to 1
the delegates.
If the above proportions mould not be accepted,!
(which the minittry are in great expectation will) it|
is a determined point in the cabinet, to take an army
of ten thousand foreign troops into the pay of Great-
Britair., which will be sent to Boston immediately.
Hypocrisy, and 4 pretended zeal for religion, are
admirable cloaks for ^tyrannical Secretary of State.

and in the evening, with all the apparent sincerity of
a good chrifiian, can forfake every other bufmefs to

CAMBRIDGE, Aug. 3.
Some very late Intelligence hath been received at
Head-Quarters, this Week, from Canada, the Sub-
Itance of which is, that the Canadians and Indians
cannot be perluaded by Governor Carleton to join
his Forces, but are determined to be neuter : That
there are but 500 Regulars in Canada, and near all
thole stationed at St. John's, in order to make a
Stand against the Provincials expe&ed down the
Lake ; and that consequently Quebec and Montreal,
have been left quite bare of Troops, except a small
Guard at each Place.
We can't yet learn that a single Tribe of Savages
on this continent have been persuaded to take up the
Ilatchet against the Colonies, notwithstanding the
great Pains made use of by the vile Emissaries of a
Javage Mini (try for that Purpose.
Lait Monday Morning, near Charleftown Neck,
a warm Fire began between our advanced Parties,
and those cf the Enemv, attended with Cannonading
from the Enemy's Works oh Bunker-Hill. We
tock' two Marines Prisoners, and killed several of
the Regulars, with the Loss of one Man, belong
ing to Marblehead, who was killed with a Cannon
Ball.
Parties of rifle Men, together with some Indians,
are constantly harraffing the Enemy's advanced
Guards, and fay they have killed several of the Re
guE.rs, within a Day or two part. One of the
Riflers is miffing, and is said to be taken Prisoner.
Last Sabbath a Child of Col. Robinson of Dor
chester, was baptized, by the Revd. Mr. Dunbar
of Stoughton, by the Name of GEORGE WASH
INGTON.
Last Monday Morning about 800 Men, went
from Roxbury to the Spot where the Light-Houle
lately flood, where they found 40 of the Enemy,
twenty-eQht Soldiers and twelve Tory Carpenters
and Labourers, who were sent from Boston to ere&
a Building for fixing up Lights. Ou: People before
they surrendered, killed four of them (among whom,
it is said, was a Lieutenant) and took the re& Pri
soners, being 24 Regulars, and the 12 Workmen,
with the Loss of one Man on our Side. The fame
Day the whole Number were brought to Head
Quarters in this Town, and the Day following sent

Extract of a Letter from London, dated June 1.
" It is my indifpenfible duty to inform my coun
trymen on your fide the water, of whatever refolu-
Imus are formed on this fide injurious to your facr^d
rights, that you may be timely on your guard
defeat the pernicious attempts of that implacale'
and tyrannical Adminidration.---My intelligence is
founded on the heft information, and therefore full
credence ought to be paid to it.
" On the arrival of the news of the defeat and re
trofit of the detachments under Lord Percy and Col.
Smith, this great city was agitated to its centre. The
friends to America rejoiced at the noble viadry of
the Bostonians, and its enemies were abashed at their
tourage,-----grinning horribly a ghastly smile, as
Milton's Devil did in Paredife.--—The news flew
rapidly, and soon caught the err of an unwise and
deluded King. Adminiftiation were alarmed at the
uriexpe&ed success of the Provincials, and were at
\ a loss what lies to fabricate which would destroy tire
Iforce of the qualifications which accompanied the
, intelligence. Runners were sent to every part of the
Icity, who were authorifed °to deny tire authenticity
of the facts, and so distressed was government that
they officially requeued a fufpenff&n of belief, u^til
difpatohes were received from General Gage. No
advice is received yet from that quarter. In the
mean time frequent ministerial Councils were held,
Iwithout any conclusive determinations until yesterday,
;when his Majeftyprefided at one of them. The King,
I after having heard the news read, asked what mode
I mould be pursued to support the dignity of the na>
tion, retrieve the honor of the British arms, and
I annihilate the American opposition > Lord North re-
I plied, that there were 30,006 troops in Quebec and
ICanada ready to match to Boston for General Gage's
I relief ; that more men of war should be sent out,
I and that the Admiral Should have positive orders to
I seize provision vessels for the due supply of the navy
and army. He observed that from the natural for
mation of the entrance jpto Boston, with the pre
cautions taken by the General there was no appre
hensions of any attack, for in fa& it could not be
WORCESTER, August 2.
On Thursday last notifications were polled up in
the town of Boston, the purport of which was to
inform all such of the inhabitants as were desirous of
quitting the town, that they might give in their
names to the Town-Major; great numbers imme
diately applied and several have had permission to
come out. The reason of this permission is owing
to the scarcity of provifions,Gage thinking he mull be
obliged to furnifli them out of the King's stores, or
letthem Starve. They were not permitted to bring
out their effects.
It has been very ftcklyin Boston, among the inha
bitants and fulchery < Of the foidiery we hear fifteen
or sixteen have died in a day.
It is confidently asserted that Gage is dismantling
Cadle William. Several Cannon belonging to that
fortress have lately been brought to Boston. Some
imagine that the cattle will be entirely demolished.
All our accounts from Boston agree, that the re
gulars loft 1200 men in the action at Bunker's-hill,
who were then killed and have since died of their
wounds.
“ Such also is the terror of Administration, that
they h^ve dispatched some of the Nobility and Gen
try throughout England to contradict the Boston
news, in order to quiet the landed Gentlemen, cajole
the manufacturing cities, and prevent the dreaded
effe&ion of the flocks. But alas ! these are tem
porary, ineffectual expedients--, for the next Ame
rican intelligence will arouse the lupine landed and
manufacturing interest, and a vital (tab will be given
to the funds. This nation has palled her meridian
splendor---America, by her virtue and her numbers,
will permanently establish her rights, will be the
blessed means of extirpation cf this most flagitious
Ministry, and of establishing the British Throne in
wisdom and clemency.
“ This evening some of the principal Common
Council-men meet, to revive and effectually equip the
Militia cf London, which consist of 80'00 men, in
order to co-operate with the Americans, in forcing
a relinquishment of the present infernal politicks,
and in flipporting constitutional liberty throughout
the Biitifh dominions."
Extract of a letter from Cambridge, July 31.
“ Last Friday n^e ivere informed by our out centries
at the foot of Bunker s Mill, that the enemy bad cut
down several large trees, and were busy all night in
throwing up a line and abbates in front of it.---In
the evening orders were given to the York county rife
company, to march down to our advanced post on
Charleftown Neck, to endeavour to surround the ene
my's advanced guard, and to bring off feme prisoners;
from whom we expe&ed to learn the enemies design
in thriving up the abbates on the Neck. The rifle
I company divided and executed their plan in the fol-
I lowing manner : Capt. Dowdle with 39 men filed off
to the right of Bunker's Hid, and creeping on their
hands and knees, got into the rear of the enemies cen
tre, without being difeo^red. —The other division of
40 men, under Lieut. Miller, were equally fuccefsful
in getting behind the (entries on the left, and were
ivitbin a few yards of joining the divifen on the
%'„ > when a party of regulars came down the hill to
relieve their guard, and crossed our rifle men under
Capt. Dowdle, as they were lying on the ground in an
Indian file. The regulars were within 20 yards of
om life men before they saw them, and immediately
fired. The rife men returned the salute ; killed seve
ral, and brought off two prisoners and their mufauets,
Stormed. Upon this futile opinion, inftru&ions
were immediately difpatchyd to. Gage; to order the
Regulars from Quebec, and to march the militia of
Canada, as well as to obtain the necessary supply of
, provisions by seizing the American vessels ' at sea, or
in the harbours. To facilitate this accursed plan,
the General is to assure the officers of the King's de
termination to promote them, and to Simulate the
soldiers to a&s of butchery, their pay is to be en
creafed---to which purpose 50,000!. was lent off last
night to Bofton.'
There has been considerable Firing, since Monday
la'i, at Roxbury ; but we have heard of no Person
killed, or any Damage done, on either Side.
army are even now either cut off, or ignominiously
constrained to retreat into the castle, or on board cf
the men of war.
" The General has positive orders to destroy the
magazines, to spike up the cannon, to order the Riot
Aa to be read, and to set up the King's Standard
immediately. What infatuation possesses this nation !
You and I, who know the strength of America, and
the consolidated union of its inhabitants, must laugh
at theirihreats and 'defpife their (hallow schemes.
But whilst they are forming this impraaicable plan
of extracting 30,000 troops from Canada, they dread
the arrival of the packet, because, however they
would dupe } fhe credulous inhabitants cf England
with fallacious contradictions of the faffs announced,
they cannot help believing that General Gage and his

" In return for this, the enemy alarmed us la, night
in their turn. At one o'clock this morning : heavy
firing of small arms and cannon occasioned our drums
to beat to arms. The army was immediately ordered
under arms to their po,s.-—Tbe firing continued in
three different quarters ; Roxbury, Sewell's Point, at
the mouth of Cambridge river, and at the advanced
po,s at Charleftown neck : Some hours elapsed before
we knew the design of tbe enemy, which was this :—•
We bad surrounded some of their out guards the night
before, which induced them to serve our centries in
the fame manner. They sent two flat bottomed boats
to Sewell's Point, to attack our redoubt there.---Salli
ed out at Roxbury and set fire to the George Tavern,
our advanced guard house.-- Our people attacked, beat
them in, and took one prisoner, who is expelled here
every minute. The flat bottomed boats after a useless
fire of many hours returned. The picquet guard of
the enemy on Cbarjeftown neck, attacked and drove in
our advanced guard of 60 men, who being reinforced
by Gen. Lee's order, recovered their ground and beat
off the enemy, killed several, and brought off seven
mufauets, without loo,ng a man, although our men
engaged them under their guns within point blank foot
of their lines,---We are ju, informed that 250 of the
Marblehead sailors have formed on. Plowed Hill, near
Bunker's Hill, and have drove inall the cut guards
of the enemy.---The enemy do not appear to, be ve,
fond of doming out. We fball barrafs them, continual
