cannot be deemed an equitable exchange for a Lieutenant
of regulars, much less, my Lord, if a man should have
been torn from his farm, and arbitrarily deprived of his
liberty because a Convention had nominated him ah
officer, without his having done any one a& that could
warrant his seizure, or continue his confinement longer
than despotism prevails over rights and privileges: In this
case I might indeed compaflionate his fate, but should
betray the confidence reposed in me by my country fh,uld
I attempt to release him by a prisoner of equal rank taken
in battle, who it would be my duty to confider as a pledge
in my hands for the redemption of some brave man that
by chance of war may happen to be captivated. The
Convention, in order to eftablilh a militia, have appointed
Captains in particular diftri&s to train and exercise in
armsail persons from sixteen to sixty years of age, with
out inftru&ing or directing them to a& against Govern
ment : These may meet and go through the manual exer
cise, and then return home, fwrely, without the least
guilt ! Six months after, should some or all of these peo
ple be taken from their ploughs, made prisoners, and of
fered in ^exchange for those that are prisoners of war,
could an officer be juftified who admitted of such an ex
change? Or would you, my Lord, should we seize upon
the persons of the peatants, who come into this town
every day, and who attended to your proclamation, and
fubfcrihed your test, admit of them in exchange for our
officers and men, who, you assert, were taken in arms ?
Information had given me to think, and till your last
letter, I had no reafom to doubt that some of these officers
and men you offered us were such as I have described, and
it was to that I in part alluded when I said, that I could
not put those prisoners taken in battle, upon a footing
with the militia officers and peasants whom you, my Lord,
had thought proper to deprive of their liberty. I was ex
plicit, I thought, when I told your Lordlhip that I looked
upon those officers who, under your appointment, fought
at the Great-Bridge, though taken since rhe action, as
prisoners who would equitably be offered in exchange for
those of ours of the fame rank taken by you ; and when
I desired an exa& lift of the men in your custody, the rank
they bore, and the manner in which they were taken, I
imagined it would be granted me. I with now to obtain
such a lift, my Lord ; and if I do, you will find that I
shall not degrade those commissions issued by Convention,
the rank of which you seem so desirous I should main
tain, but join you heartily, if you cboofe it, in one mea
sure at least, that of returning to their friends such pri
soners as we have of your's, and raftering to the bosom of
their country those that you have torn from it.
“ I have not had it in my power, till within this hour,
to answer your favour of last night ; the delay you will
please to excuse. lam, my Lord,
Your Lordlhip's most obedient humble servant,
ROBERT HOWE."
His Excellency Lord Dunmore,
lip as to prevail upon you not only to admit tliat rank,
but to endeavour to carry it higher than even the Con
vention intended. A Colonel in the minute service ranks
only with a Lieutenant Colonel of the regulars ; a Colo
nel of militia, only with a Lieutenant Colonel of mi
nute-men. This must make it plain that a militia Lieu
tenant, though your Lordlhip had taken him in battle,
" General Carleton escaped from Montreal by
paddling with his hands by our men in the night,
and got fafe into Quebec, where he gave immediate
orders for all that would mot take up arms to leave
the city.
“ We have upon the Plains of Abraham a battery
of gabines filled with snow, and water poured on till
it froze quite hard, which does very well, and we
have some mortars in St. Roc, behind a Tory's
house, at a little distance from the Palace gate, from
both of which we have put them into fomeconfufion,
and set the town on fire in several places; we have
roused them up these five nights fucceflively, and I
believe they are almost tired out. Yefteiday we sent
a flag of truce to them, which they would not re
ceive, and it was with great difficulty the raw tailors
could be prevented from firing on the person who
carried it. General Montgomery, in that, offered
a fafe convoy to Carleton and Cramahe, Lieutenant
Governor, but he would not read it. Last Saturday
might we made the Indians fire several letters into
the town with bows and arrows, which were found
by the inhabitants, and are circulating through the
town. One was directed to the inhabitants, inform
ing of our requests, and the consequence of a refu
fal ; and another to Carleton, threatening him with
immediate death, unless he gave up the city. Was
it not for Carleton, Cramahe, Colonel M'Clean, a
Scotchman (who was taken up by the Congress at
New-York, but denied atall interferingin the dilute,
when at the fame time he had a commission to raise
men) and Hanflie, Collector of the Customs, we
Should have been in Quebec before now; but in a
few nights we are to take it by storm, to play from
both batteries, attack in the lower town, and scale
the walls with ladders, which are almost finifhed:
All that get fafe into the city will live well, for they
are allowed to plunder, and take what they please."
By a gentleman arrived here from South-Carolina,
we are informed, that the ministerial fleet, with Lord
William Campbell on board, unable to obtain wa
ter or any supplies whatever, had failed, and it was
supposed for Georgia. The women and children,
who had left Charleftown were returned to it. And
some of the principal Tories having been secured,
their deluded neighbours were convinced that they
had been grofly imposed upon, some of whom had
given up their arms, and others joined the association.
In short, that all trifling misunderstandings were
cleared up, and the whole province was united in
opposition to the arbitrary meafiires of administration.
By authentic advices from the Camp at Cam
bridge, of the gd and 4th instant, we learn, that
the bay and harbour of Boston yet continue open ;
that a man of war is so stationed as to command the
entrance of Salem, Beverly and Marblehead har

pushed into the river St. Lawrence in hopes of getting
to Quebec, which was very doubtful—That the two

who informed General Washington that a fleet con
sisting of 9 transports, containing 360 men, were
ready to fail under convoy of the Scarborough and
Fowey men of war, with two bomb vessels, and some
flat bottomed boats ; their avowed destination in
Boston was to Newport, but it was generally suppo

By Captain Cochran we learn, that our brethren of
South-Carolina are in high spirits, that they got large
supplies of powder and arms; that having refelutely re
fufed the men of war provisions or water, they were obli
ged to quit the coast. That the Tamer (on board of which
is Lord William Campbel, late Governor of South-Caro
lina) having taken a Hoop from Bermuda, with 260 half
Johaneffes, the property of a house in Charles-Town, the
Convention had granted the injured an order to fell as
much of his Lordship's goods and chattels as would repay
the money, &c. stolen from them ; on which they fold
his coach, horses, &c. and have wrote him word that
they have a balance of 301. which they are ready to pay
to his order.

not the least idea in Bolton of attacking our lines,
but will be very thankful to be permitted- to remain

was circulated through the army, in order to keep
the foidiers quiet under their distresses, that the dis

with the following anecdote : That upon the King's

were re-printed and sent out to our lines on the 2d of
January, which being also the day of forming the
new army, the great Union Flag was hoisted on
Profpe&-Hill, in compliment to the United Colo

delivered at Roxbury, but before they were received
at Cambridge, the Boston gentry supposed it to be
a token of the deep impression the speech had made,
and a token of submission---That they were much
disappointed at finding several days elapse without
some formal measure leading to a surrender, with
which they had began to flatter themselves.— - When
these accounts came away the army were all in bar
racks, in good health and spirits---That 5000 militia
had taken the places of those soldiers who would not

good troops, and the whole army impatient for an
opportunity of aHion.

Last Monday night the Tory house and Barracks
on Goat-Iflana were set on fire, and destroyed ; but
whether by the people belonging to the ships of war

certain that one or two tenders were lying close in

IT concerns me in a very particular Manner, to be

When I let out to eftablilh this Office in June 1764, it
was upon the ftri& Principles of doing Justice to my

within my Power and Ability ; my chief Object in view
was that Support which, through your confederate Favours,
I have hitherto obtained, and by which I have received
your greatest Approbation of the Undertaking. J indeed
had it in my Hopes that an experienced Cohdua, added
to the approving myfelf a ufeful Member to Society,
would one Day be the Means to restore, that the greatest
Liberty a dependent Individual can enjoy, “ t^e full
Exercise of his regular Profeffion;" but in this I have
hitherto been disappointed, and now, from the increasing
Difficulty of the present unhappy Timts, I feel the want
of that Liberty ina Manner! never expedltd :--Sbll to be
kept in a disfranchis'd state, after living so many Years

this City from the Weft Indies, contrary to the General
Association of the Hon. the Continental Congress, and
that Messrs Grant and Fine, and Samuel Burling, of
this City, Merchants, were the Importers : In Confer

that 56 Pieces of Iriffi Linens, it Pieces of Irilh Sheet
ing, 185 lb. Scotch Thread, and 25 Calks of Engli/k
Nails, had been imported into this City contrary to the
firft Article of the said General Aff?ciation, and that
Meffrs# Grant and Fine, and Samuel Burling, were the
Importers. This Committee did further resolve, that
the Goods abovementioned be forthwith sent back to the
Place from whence they were imported : For the punc
tual Performance of which, good Security is already given
by the said Thomas Grant and Samuel Burling. The
Committee do therefore publish the above State of Faffs,
agreeable to the Directions of the said Affociaticn; and
they do further declare, that altho' the said Messrs. Grarft:

About Eleven o'Clock on the Night of Tuesday the thirty,
firfl Day of October, 1775, nine armed Men came on board
a Schooner, then lying moored off the Point of Sapello, in the
Province of Georgia, cut both her Cables, (which were all
that were on board) and proceeded immediately to Sea. Of
the Perpetrators of this Piracy two only are yet known, viz.
SAMUEL PRICE and SAMUEL WELLS. Price is
a Jbort, Jlim Man, rather well made, about thirty-five Years
of Age, and was lately Muster and Owner of a Coasting
Schooner in this Province : Wells is a tall, fender, young
Man, about twenty -five Years of Age, and was born in
Rbode-Ifand.
There were on board the Schooner, at the Time when the
Pirates boarded her, a white Man, fohn Baton, and three
Negro Men ; when they got near the Bar, they put on board
a Beat belonging to the Schooner, the above-mentioned ,obu
Bacon, and two of the Negroes ; the other Negro Fellow,
named sack, (who is about five Feet eight Inches high) the,
carriea off w th them.
The Schoorer is fifty-three Feet Keel, twenty-two Feet
Beam, and about nine Feet in the Hold; foe is quite new,
built in South-Carolina, may carry about three hundred Bar
rels of Rice, her Stern square and painted light blue, bad
bright Sides, and fix Port Holes and two Quarter Lights
on each Side. The Ports and Deadlights were not painted,
nor the Windows fajhed; neither was there any Joiner's
Work done in her Cabin, being jufl out of the Builder's
Hands. She is taunt rigged, with Topmafs funding, but
bad no Yards across; her Foresail new, and ber Mainsail
and fib half worn. The Hook over her Bowsprit bad been
carried away, and was fixed with a Hawser. She was
lately purchased by the Subscriber at the MarJhal's Sale, m
Savannah, in Georgia.
When the Schooner was boarded by the above-mentioned
Pirates, fee was in Ballast ; the only Provifons thes on
board were, about five Bushels of Potatoes, and a few
Cases of Water. - From their being so scantily provided,
they may be obliged to put into some Port or Inlet on the
Coaf of North-America, in™order to procure, by Theft, a
frejb Supply ; it will, therefore, behove all Persons on the
Coaf to keep a good Look out, in order to prevent their ac
complishing any fueb Purpose ; or they may probably offer
the above-mentioned Negro Fellow sack for Sale, that they
may, with the purchase Money, procure Ne eferies,
A Reward of FIFTY DOLLARS is hereby offered to
any Person who shall apprehend and bring to fuftice the
above-mentioned Samuel Price, ' Samuel Wells, and their
Accomplices; also a Reward of FIFIY DOLLARS for
the Recovery of the Negro Fellow sack; and likewise a
reasonable and generous Salvage for recovering and de
livering the said Schooner to Mr. Alexander Rose, Merchant,
in CbarleJhwn, South-Carolina, or to me, in Georgia ; to
be awarded and determined upon by any three Merchants or
indifferent Performs, or otherwise according to Law or Cußorr.,
