can be so rude or indelicate as for one gentleman to persist in
keeping up an acquaintance or connexion with another who
has indicated an intention to break off the acquaintance, the
people of America m.uft incur the imputation of brutes and
lavages, if, after the broad hints they have received, they do
not with his Majesty a good night for ever."

“ We are just now on the eve of the long wished for hour.
The enemy are embarking as sass as possible. All their heavy
artillery are embarked with their ordnance stores. God
knows where they intend to lodge next. The Selectmen of
Boston have sent out, by permission of General Robinson, to
acquaint us that if we will permit the Regulars to embark
unmolested, they will leave the town standing, but as it was
'not authorized by General Howe, nor addressed by the Se
lectmen, his Excellency General Washington rejected it. We
now intend, 1 believe, to pursue our intentions without re
mitting in the lead. We shall occupy another poll this
night, and perhaps shall begt them off in greater haste than
they imagine. On Thursday next, they fay, the town shall
be vacated. I rejoice with all my foul at the profped of
entering Boston. They give out they design for Halifax, but
we understand them for Virginia."
Capt. Standley, who arrived this afternoon in a schooner
from Salem, inf rms that there was a very heavy cannonade
lad Saturday at Boston, which began a little before sunset.
