The foregoing reply having been read and ully consi

factory? P "ed in the negative, (only one di enttent) out
of upwards of qcoo voters.
It was then moved and voted ohn Hancock, Esq: Mr.
Samuel Adants, Mr. William Mo ineux, William Phillips,
Esq; Dr. joscph Warren, jolhua Henshaw, list;-, and
. Samuel Pemberton, Esq; 'be a eommittee to wait on his
Hunor the Lieutenant Governot, and inform him, that it
is the unanimsious opinion of this meeting, that the reply
made to a vote as the inhabitants presented his Honor in
the morning, is by no means satisfaetory ; and that nothin
less will satisty, than a total and immediate removal of
the troops.
The committee havin? waited upon the Lieutenant Go
vernor agreeable to the oregoing vote; laid before the in
habitants the following vote os Conncil received from his
Honor .
His Honor the Lientenant Governor laid before theboard
a vote of the town of Bostoo, passed this afternoon, and
then addressed the board as follows,
Gentlemen of the Council,
" ! la] before you! close of lb: town of Big/son, noble-3
] bar-e just now recemed from Men, and ] no-tv {i par
advice what you judge necessary to be done upon it. '
The Council thereupon expressed themselves to be na
nr'mon/Iy of opinion, " that it was absolutely necessary lor
his )lctjclly's service, the good order of the town, and the
peace of the province, that the troops should be immedi
ately removed out of the town of Boston, and thereupon
advised his Honor to communicate this advice of the Coun
cil to Col. Dalrvmple, and to pray that he old order the
troops down to Came William." The mmittee al
informed the town, that Col. Dalrvmple, after having seen
the vote of Couneil, said to the committee, " That he novl
gave his word of honour that he would begin his preparati
ons in the morning, and that there should be no unnecessa
ry delay until the whole of the two regirnents were remo
ved to the castle." '

dissolved.
The a9th regiment have dready lest us, and the rathsi

will soon be clear of al the troops. The wisdom and true
policv of his Majcsty's Council, and Col. Dalrymple, the
communder, appear in this measure. Two regimenta in
