Portsmouth, April 8th, 1774. T HE Merchants and Traders in this Town, are desired to meet at Union-Hall, this Afternoon, at 4 o'Clock, to consult upon a Matter very interesting to them, and the Public.
P O R T S M O U T H, April 8, 1774. LAST Friday came to Town Mr. WILLIAM GODDARD, Printer in the City of Philadelphia, and at Baltimore in Maryland. The Cause of that Gentleman's Tour is interesting to all the Colonies, and we are happy to find, that ALL thro' which he has come are thoroughly engaged in the glorious Cause. Every Colony to the Southward of us manifest their readiness to come into the Measure; and we are informed there is not the Shadow of a doubt of its being warmly patronized by the genuine Sons of Liberty in Portsmouth, who are to meet at Union-Hall this Afternoon. How cheerfully will every well Wither to his Country lay hold of an Opportunity to risk the Channel of Public and Private Intelligence out of the Hands of a Power, openly inimical to its Rights and Liberties.
B O S T O N, March 24, 1774. The Committee of Correspondence in this Town have received very spirited and judicious Letters from the respective Committees in several of the neighbouring Colonies; particularly those of New-York, Newport and Providence, on the subject of establishing new and constitutional Post-Offices throughout English America; instead of inconsistently encouraging and supporting a parliamentary Establishment, that has been the foundation of, and precedent for a Stamp Act, a declarative Law for binding the Colonies in all Cases whatsoever, a Tea Duty, and other attempts to extort our Money from us, and infringe on our Rights and Privileges. The importance of the Design, the eligibility of the Plan and the Propriety of co-operating with our Brethren on this grand Enterprise, seems to be so universally acknowledged by the Inhabitants of this Town and Neighbourhood, that it is not doubted but such Measures will be adopted by the Friends of their Country, the Guardians of our Liberties, as will effectually answer the Purpose, satisfy the just Expectations of our patriotic Countrymen, at the Southward, and be a Means of strengthening the growing Union of the Colonies, on which our Freedom & Happiness essentially depend, and which it is the Wish of our Enemies to destroy—who are now exerting their utmost Endeavours to DIVIDE, that they may TYRAN-NIZE.
SOME People believing that the American Post-Office was first instituted by an Act of the British Parliament, it may be necessary to acquaint them that it was, in its Origin, established by a private Gentleman, one Mr. Benger, of Frederickburg, Virginia, who was permitted to continue it under his own Direction, until a British Ministry, by Means of a Letter-Writer, discovered that a Revenue might be raised therefrom—and, in Consequence, we were restrained in our Liberties, and Taxed without our Consent, in the IXth Year of the Reign of Queen Anne, for the express Purpose of raising a Revenue, to ease her Majesty's Subjects, the Law-Makers, on the other Side of the Atlantic.
As the Plan for establishing new Post-Offices in America meets with so great Encouragement, it is imagined that several of the Deputy Post-Masters will have the Virtue and Spirit to resign their Appointments, from a Conviction that the Post-Masters General have no more Right to erect Offices here, than a Nabob of Indostan.
PORTSMOUTH.
At a Town Meeting convened at the North Meeting-House, on Monday the 4th Day of April 1774, for the Purpose of electing Members for the Town of Portsmouth, to serve in the next GENERAL-ASSEMBLY, voted, JACOB SHEAFE, Esq; SAMUEL CUTTS, Esq; Capt. WOODBURY LANGDON } Representatives. Yesterday the GENERAL-ASSEMBLY met here.
By a Gentleman from Boston since the Post, we hear, that Advice is received there, That the Parliament is determined not to meddle with the Dispute between the Colonies and the East India Company.
A complete List of the new House of Commons for the Province of New-Hampshire, shall endeavour to obtain for our next.
BOSTON.
B O S T O N, April 4. We hear from Cambridge that a Person having been confined there a long Time in Goal, for Debt, at the Expence of one Samuel Carter, of Woburn, who on Thursday last paid the Goaler Ten Dollars more, declaring his Intentions of keeping him in for Life; a Company, supposed about 70 or 80 in Number, in the Indian Habit, waited on Mr. Carter in the Evening, and after breaking his Windows and showing some other Marks of their Dislike of his Conduct, obliged him to walk with them to Cambridge, about 7 Miles, sign an Instrument to release the Man from Confinement, and give him the Cash he had a short Time before deposited in the Hands of the Goaler, to bear his Expences Home, as the Man belonged to a Neighbouring Town: The Affair being thus settled, three Cheers were given, and the Parties returned from whence they came.
At the Superior Court held at Providence last Week, one
Wilson, who not long occupied an Apartment in our Goal, was tried for a Rape, found guilty, & is to be executed the 29th Inst. A melancholy Accident happened at East-Windsor, in Connecticut, the 23d ult. viz. As Mr. John Huntington, of Toland, was attempting to pass a Cart he met there being but just Room for a Horse to pass between the Cart and a Ditch, and the Horse taking Fright, flung him before the Wheel, which passed over his Head and Breast, and killed him instantly.
The Keeper of a noted Public-House in this Town last Week received the following Letter.
"SIR, INFORMATION being given to me, that a Number of those Enemies to Society, the Protectors of the Town of Plimouth, are daily expected in Town, these are to inform you, that your entertaining those odious Miscreants will be contrary to the Sentiments of your Fellow Citizens: You are ordered, upon their first Arrival, immediately to send a Line to Edes and Gill's Office, directed to JOYCE, jun. informing him of their Arrival, that they may be properly dealt with. Fail not at your Peril. JOYCE, jun."
Boston, March 23th, 1774. To Mr. -----
S A L E M, April 5. We hear from Marblehead, that a Person, named Clark, went to Cat-Island last Wednesday, & took away some Cloaths, (said to be his own) which he brought up to the Town. As they had been infected with the Small-Pox, and it was uncertain whether they were cleansed or not, he was immediately ordered, by the Selectmen, round to the Ferry, back of the Town where the Cloaths were to be examined. He accordingly obeyed: But returning to Town again, he was surrounded by a considerable Number of People; and left they should proceed to any Violence with him, the Selectmen appeared, and promised that he should be properly and legally punished, if deserving of it the next Day. This seemed to satisfy the People: But about ten or 11 o'Clock at Night, 20 or 30 of them went and pulled him out of his House, carried him to the public Whipping-Post, and whipped him most cruelly. The next Day he went to Ipswich made his Complaint to the Justices of the Inferior Court, then sitting, and told who the Persons were that had abused him. A warrant was issued, one of the Criminals were taken up and committed to Goal, and a good Look-Out is kept for apprehending the others; one of whom, as he was returning from Meeting on the last Sabbath, an Officer gave Chase to, but could not catch him. The abovementioned Clark is one of the Persons who were Tarred and Feathered some Time since.
Wednesday last his Excellency the Governor issued a Proclamation for dissolving the General Assembly of this Province.
B O S T O N, March 31. We hear from Weston in the County of Middlesex, That on Monday Evening the 21st Inst. a Number of People appeared before the House of Captain Isaac Jones, Inn-holder, in that Town, gave a loud Indian WHOOP, & immediately went off without speaking to any Person in the House:—That on Monday Night last between nine and ten o'Clock, a Number of Persons, supposed near 1 Hundred again appeared there, and Capt. Jones having that Morning gone a Journey to Uxbridge, they fell to breaking the Windows of the House, stave in all in the lower Rooms, and then the Chamber.—Mrs. Jones was then in Bed with an Infant, having lain in about three Weeks, the Windows of her Room did not escape, but she lay exposed to the Inclemency of the Weather, it being rainy, 2 Hours:—Near thirty of the People entered disguised with Paints, Paper Villages, &c.—and ransacked the whole House from Cellar to Garret, without breaking down any Part excepting two Pannels of a Partition: Being asked what they were in Search of, they said Jones, and would have him; but being told he was gone a Journey, they made free with the Bottles of Liquor in the Cellar, as also the Liquors that were in the Bar Room, breaking carrying off the Bowls, Mugs, &c. and about 100 Lemons, and half a Cask of Raisins: Several of them were known by the People in the House and called to by Name, when they went off. Several other Circumstances upon this Discovery, our Informant supposes will be given when a Particular Account is taken.
A Military Watch was thought necessary, accordingly the Colonel ordered one from the Militia in Weston, to be every Night.
Captain Jones purchased Tea at Albany last Winter, not subject to a Duty, and had retailed it out, which is said to be the Cause of this Resentment against him.
ST. GEORGE'S (Grenada) January 1. Orders are lately arrived at France to carry the Edicts against smuggling into Execution, which has been done so effectually that the Dutch at St. Eustatia are deprived of the most valuable Branch of their Commerce. At Guadaloupe every Master of a Merchantman is appointed a Customhouse Officer; and as it is their Interest to prevent illicit Trade, they are so vigilant that a Smuggler dares not appear on the Coast. Were similar Measures taken here, we should not have Reason to complain of the Dullness of Trade, and the scarcity of Money; as the immense Quantities of prohibited Goods, especially dry Goods, which are daily poured into this Island, and publicly hawked about the Country, cannot fail to drain us of our Cash, as well as be very detrimental to the fair Trader, and to the Manufactures of the Mother Country.
NEW-YORK, March 28. On Tuesday last the greatest and most respectable Number of Inhabitants of this City, ever known to be assembled on such an Occasion, gave at the Exchange a very elegant Entertainment to his Excellency the Governor, on his approaching Departure for Great-Britain. True Harmony and connivial Mirth filled the Heart of every one present, and the Day and Evening passed with the most uninterrupted Concord and Unanimity. When his Excellency took Leave of the Company, he thanked them for this genteel Compliment; and added, that he went from them with Reluctance, but that he expected soon to return, and hoped to find them in the same happy Union which he then left them. We hear his Excellency our worthy Governor has been pleased to intimate his Intention of founding a Professorship in King's College of this City, before his Embarkation for England. Saturday Morning last the Ship John-Galley, Capt. Quick, arrived here from London, in eight Weeks, but has brought no later Prints than what we had received before; and by Letters from thence we learn, that the Conduct of the Americans, with Regard to the Tea sent to this Country, is much applauded, but it is generally said all that Commodity destroyed at Boston must be paid for by somebody; and that Hints had been dropped, the Act imposing the Duty of 3d. per lb. on all Teas sent to America from Great-Britain, would be repealed this present Session of Parliament.
NEW-PORT, March 28. We are assured that the New-Yorkers are determined in their Resolutions of sending back the Tea-Ship without suffering an Ounce to be landed. Said Ship had been 31 Days out from Antigua, when the latest Accounts came away from New-York: So that we may expect, in a few Days, to give our Readers, a few excepted, an agreeable Account of the 4th Act of a Play called the Adventures of Two Thousand Chests of India TEA; the 3d Act having been begun, but unluckily left half finished by some of the Actors having forgot their Parts. Extract of a Letter from Baltimore, dated March 18. "Capt. Lawrence, in the Jenny and Polly, in 4 Weeks from London, acquaints us, that the News of the Destruction of the Tea at Boston, was arrived there before he failed; and says, instead of being exasperated, they much applauded the noble Spirit of the Americans, and were resolved to let the East India Company get the Matter settled in the best Manner they can." We hear from Martha's Vineyard, that Mr. Eadey Manter, of that Place, being on a Militia Muster, went to discharge his Musket, which being overcharged, split, whereby he had his Hands tore to Pieces, and otherwise wounded so badly, that he died a short Time after.
VIENNA (in Germany) December 15. W E have just received the following authentic Advices from Marshal Romanzow's Army: On the 10th of November the first Attack was made on Silistria; when the Russians were repulsed with the Loss of 1200 Men killed, and above 600 desperately wounded. The Russians then erected several Batteries of great Guns, and five Mortar Batteries, about the Town, which played for three Days and Nights, doing considerable Damage, many parts of the Town being set on Fire by the Shells, and Breaches made in the Walls by the Shot from the Gun Batteries. On the 15th a second Attack was made, without Success, the Turks fought as Men in Desperation. However, on the 17th the Russians were Masters of the Place by Assault, and not by Capitulation. The Russians lost in the whole before Silistria 2700 Men, and had upwards of 3000 wounded. A fine train of Brass Artillery, together with several large Magazines of Stores, Provisions, &c. were found there; & several Thousand Purse of Sequins for the payment of the Grand Vizir's Army. Seven Thousand of the Turks were made Prisoners of War, and several other great Advantages gained. In short, this is the most Important and Advantageous Event for the Russians during the War.
L O N D O N, December 29. The most puzzled Skain now before the great Officers of this Land, we are told, is our American Affairs; but as we have Men amongst us quite equal to Alexander in Understanding, it is not improbable but, like him, they may cut what they are unable to untie.
The Americans are about to vote the East India company the sum of 16000l. as a compensation for the rejection and destruction of the Tea sent out by that body.
(Not so, says a Son of Liberty.)

By the Ship Richmond, arrived at Philadelphia from London, we have the following Advices.
L O N D O N, January 14.
Y ESTERDAY Frederick Bull, Esq; Lord Mayor of London, took the Oaths and his Seat in the House of Commons as mentioned for the City of London.
We hear from Potsdam, that his Prussian Majesty is ever in close Conference with the Russian and Austrian Ministers; Courier upon Courier are sending to their Triumvirate Courts: Upon the late Defeat of the Turks, two Expresses came within 4 Hours of each other; when it was the next Day propagated at Berlin, that a Revolution was daily expected at Constantinople, & all the Christian Merchants were removing their Effects with the utmost Secrecy and Expedition from that Capital. The Rage of the Turks is so great at this Time against the Christians and Jews, that there is no Walking the Streets of Constantinople for fear of their Fury. The Grand Signior hourly distributes large Sums of Money among his Janissaries, to hinder their Revolt; but without he marches in Person at their Head, and leads them on to Battle (which is what they Cry aloud for) all his Temporising will avail him nothing.
Jan. 13. Six Ships, from 400 to 500 Tons each, are fitting out at Portsmouth, for the Purpose of importing Timber from America, for the Use of his Majesty's Dock-Yards.
A Petition it is said, has been presented to the Privy Council from the General Assembly of the Province of Massachusetts-Bay, requesting the Removal of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of that Province from their Posts, on account of the Discoveries made in their Conduct by the Publication of some Letters lately.
Jan. 15. Yesterday Morning at Eleven o'Clock, Commissions passed the great Seal, impowering his Excellency Simon Earl Harcourt, his Majesty's Lieutenant Governor & General Governor of Ireland, to give the Royal Assent to the Stamp & Annuity Bills, without any Alteration being made therein; and as soon as they were Sealed, they were dispatched by a Messenger, as were Duplicates by another, the one by way of Holyhead, and the other by that of Port Patrick, in Scotland.
Dr. Franklin was on Thursday last examined before the Privy Council, touching the unfortunate Letters that have given occasion to a late Duel, by which the mysterious Business is likely to be cleared up.
The grand committee of North-America merchants are expected to present their petition at the bar of the Lower House some time next week, on affairs of the utmost importance to the interests of the Colonies.
We hear from the West-Indies, that the Lands taken from the Caraibs at St. Vincent are divided among the Officers who served in that Expedition, & that General Monckton is to have 10,000 Acres, and a Captain, Lieutenant, &c. 100 Acres each.
Jan. 21. Lord Viscount Pitt, Son to the Earl of Chatham, is to embark next Month for North-America to make the Tour of the British Colonies on that Continent.
Jan. 26. A Letter from the Lower Elbe, dated January 13, says, "The Insurrection in Russia is at present the Topic of every Conversation. It seems to have happened in the most critical Time, when fresh Troops were greatly wanted; but by this unhappy Event they are not only disabled from raising any new Troops but have been obliged to recall many Regiments that were upon their March for Moldavia; and the Troops which were cantoned about Warsaw have received sudden Orders to March for Peterburgh. It is suspected that many of the principal men in the empire will lay hold of this opportunity, and that a total Revolution will be the Consequence of it. In the mean Time, Couriers to Vienna, Berlin and Copenhagen, from Peterburgh, are more frequent than ever; and the current reports are very disagreeable."
Jan. 27. One of the morning papers says, "The cause of the late commotions in Russia is owing to the appearance of the Czarina's
husband, real, or pretended, we know not, as that monarch was said to have been degraded and died in confinement.—The report, however, is credited at the west end of the Town."
By a private letter just received from Paris, we are informed, that the French King is so ill that his life is despaired of.
L O N D O N, Jan. 9.
W E are informed, from good Authority, that, notwithstanding the Compliments paid by the Americans to the Merchants and Owners of Ships trading to America from London, there are 500 Casks of TEA lately shipped for that Continent, and that the Duty for the same is remitted beforehand by the Treasury, to New-York: However, no sinfesse, we are told, will do with the stiff-Necked Americans; and the Ship that carries this TEA must find Protection under a Man of War's Stern, for land it cannot, or both Ship and Cargo will be destroyed. She is Chartered, it seems, out and Home on the same Goods, and to be equally paid for bringing them back, as landing them.
One eminent Merchant talking to another lately in a Coffee-House near the 'Change, said, the People of America and the West-Indies should be humoured and cherrished, instead of being harraffed and loaded with Taxes, by Government; for with them only the Balance of Trade is in our favor; whereas in Turkey our Trade is quite lost, and in Russia, Denmark, and Sweden, the Balance is annually against us between Four and Five Hundred Thousand Pounds: when the other returned, the Observation was true with Respect to the latter, but not the former; for however the Balance might be in our favor with the Americans, they take care to keep it in their own Hands; and, what is worse, seldom remit the Principal; so that Trade is against us all over Europe, with Friends as well as Foes.
That respectable House in Bristol, for such it has been for 40 Years, which lately stopped Payment, has made it appear on their Books to their Creditors, to whom they owed 94,000, that 111,000 is due to them, and the Debts all good; so that they are not to be Bankrupts, but on the Reverse, their Creditors insist on their keeping the House open, and will allow them accordingly for their Trouble in gathering the Debts. One of the Creditors was so generous as to offer to remit his whole Debt, 3000. which the other as generously refused. If our late Failures were in their Nature like this, mutual Confidence, the Basis of Trade could not be injured as it has been.
A Gentleman well known in the Political World, and but just come from France, informs us, that the Court of Versailles seems in a great Ferment upon the late Account received from her Minister at the Porte, since which the French King devotes the whole Morning to his Council, and one or other of his Ministers is constantly in Conference with him. It is asserted great Offers are made to the French Court from the Turks for a naval Assistance, as they expect the Russian Fleet will attempt the Pass of the Dardanelles next Spring though they have spared no Pains nor Expense to add to its Strength: but however France may have the Inclination, it certainly wants the Ability.
Private letters from Paris mention, that they have Reason to judge, by several Circumstances, (which they would not attempt to Write) that before the Expiration of this Month, great Motions will be observed among both their Land and Sea Forces; and several indeed, assert, that general Orders will be issued to Press every Man that is able to bear Arms, even livery Servants and Mechanics not excluded.
At the West End of the Town, the Duc de Nivernois's Errand to England engrosses the Conversation; and those who pretend to be most Conversant in Ministerial Secrets affirm, with an Air of Assurance, that the above Duke is come to solicit our Court, either to join with the French in sending a powerful Fleet into the Mediterranean next Spring, or suffer them to do it, in order to check the further Progress of the Russian Arms, at least by Sea, which will save Constantinople from falling into their Hands. As a Compliance in either Sense may involve us in a War, his Grace's Voyage must prove Abortive.
A Letter from Cadiz says, the Misunderstanding between England and her Colonies is a Matter of serious Attention both in this Kingdom & the Spanish Governments in America. If a Reconciliation does not soon ensue the Family Compact will avail itself of the Dispute.
Jan. 11. The East-India Company are making a Settlement at Balambarang, being a Situation central to the Spice Trade.
Jan. 13. The Turks are hastily rising 60,000 Men at Constantinople, as a last Effort against the Russians.
Lord Sandwich has left Town for a Month, and has Commissioned Six new Captains for 6 Guardships; he has likewise generously lessened the Expences of Millar the Printer, and has taken off 1500l. of the 2000l. Fine.
Jan. 10. A late Letter from Berlin, (the Capital of the Prussian Dominions,) says, that a new Treaty of Alliance has been concluded between the Empress of Russia and the King of Prussia, by which the latter engages to assist the former against the Turks, with an Army of 30,000 Men.
It is confidently asserted at the Hague, when the last letters came from thence, that a new congress was appointed for negotiating a peace between the Russians & Turks.
By a letter from Vienna, we learn that an authentic account had been received there from Marshal Romanzow's army, that the Russians made themselves masters of Silistria by assault, on the 17th of November, with the loss of 2700 Men, and upwards of 3000 wounded; that a fine train of brass artillery, together with several large magazines of stores, provisions, &c. and several thousand purses of sequins for the payment of the Grand Vizier's army, were found there; that 7000 of the Turks were made prisoners of war, & several other great advantages gained.
Extract of a Letter from Gofport, Jan. 24.
"Yesterday the Russian fleet failed from Spithead down to St. Helen's, in order to their being in readiness the first fair wind to proceed to sea. The Russian Admiral Greig saluted the senior Officers here at his departure, which was returned."
Monday evening Mr. Alderman Trecothick was seized with a paralytic stroke, & we are informed continues very ill.

LONDON, Jan. 27.
Jan. 27. Mr. Van said in the House of Commons that great Sums were expended to protect the Bostonians, &c. who by their Conduct did not deserve Protection; that instead of keeping Troops there at a vast Expence, we might only send them over able Officers and teach them how to fight; that they were numerous enough to defend themselves against an Enemy, but not strong enough to rebel against us.
Our Letters by yesterday's Mail give us a circumstantial Account of what happened between the Russians and the Turks near Varna, on the 12th of November last, according to which Gen. Ungern-Sternberg lost 6000 Men, among whom are General Reize, and 21 Officers; and that General Dolgorucki who marched with his Corps on another Road, in order to join the Former, when he was informed of the unhappy Event, turned back; but his Fore-Guard, consisting of near 3000 Cossacks, who were advanced too far, fell into the Hands of the Basha of Adrianople, who was just come to defend the Fortress of Varna, and all these 3000 Cossacks were cut to Pieces by his Troops. They add, that notwithstanding the Loss which that General sustained, yet his Undertaking was very laudable; and if he had come two Hours sooner, he would have rendered himself Master of that important Fortress, which would have proved very fatal to the Enemy; nevertheless his Way of retiring with the Troops, did him great Honor.
We are informed, that 18,024 effective Men are to be employed for the Land Service, for Guards and Garrisons in Great-Britain, including 1522 Invalids for the present Year.
We also hear, that 638,630l. will be granted towards the Maintenance of the Army.
St. James's Jan. 25. The King has been pleased to appoint Soame Jenyns, Edward Elliot, & Bamber Gascoyne, Esquires, the Hon. Robert Spencer, commonly called Lord Robert Spencer, William Foliffe, Whitshed Keene, Esqrs. and the Hon Charles Grenville, Esq; to be his Majesty's Commissioners for Trade and Plantations.
Paris Jan. 17. It is very positively asserted, that Orders are given to all our Regiments to hold themselves in Readiness to take the Field on the earliest Notice, & that an Army of 100,000 Men will be assembled on the Rhine in the Spring.
The Hon. Mr. Fox's fine Seat at Winterlow, near Salisbury, was, on Saturday Morning last, entirely Burnt down, with all the Furniture, &c. by Accident.

Sir William Boothby, has got the 6th, General Sorrell the 48th, and Genl. Dilkes it is said will have the 58th Regiment.
Should a Government be established on the Ohio, it is said Major Skene, will be appointed to preside there.
Montfort Browne, Esq; will be appointed to the Government of the Bahamas, & Governor Shirley removed from thence to Dominica; vice Sir William Young.
Jan. 25. A Correspondent observes, that if Government does not, with a becoming Spirit, instantly embark a few Regiments on a Visit to the Rebellious BOSTONIANS---it will be entitled to the Execration of every Englishman, for such an infamous Instance of servile Pusillanimity.
EDINBURGH, Nov. 15. The following Fact we have from Persons of known Veracity.---A young Man in the Seafaring Way, named Black, to Appearance died of a high Fever at Greenock, upon Tuesday the 19th ult. He previously requested that the Coffin should not be nailed close until his Friends at Dunoon might see his Corpse. His Body was accordingly carried to Dunoon on Thursday following; and while a Sister of his was kissing his Corpse; and taking the last Farewel, to her Surprise, as well as that of several Spectators, he revived, and called for a Drink of Water, which was immediately given him, and he is now Well.

Pownalborough, March 26, 1774. Be pleased to insert the following in your next Paper, if possible, and you will much oblige your constant Reader, A. Z.
THERE has of late been abundance of Talk in the Town, and in the public Papers, relative to one John Malcom of Boston, being treated very ill, as some say, others say not ill enough; pray now what has he done for all this very ill Treatment to him done in the Town of Boston by his own Countrymen, ? I will tell you the Truth what he has done for it; in the first place he has when he the said Malcom was last in London, about five Years ago he stood up for his Town and Country what he well could do in all Companies, both high and midling Sorts of Men; and in the next place he refused a Captain's Commission on the Establishment from the then Lord Granby, General of the King's Army, in one of the Irish Regiments then ordered out to Boston, but he refused it in Order not to take up Arms against his native Town of Boston, this he has done for Truth, and has at Three different Times received Public Thanks of the Town of Boston by the Select-Men thereof in Behalf of said Town, for being a good Soldier and a Friend to his Town and Country; and has at another Time when the two Houses of Assembly were sitting in General Court, assembled with Governor Shirley at their Head, he then received the Public Thanks of both Houses, and the Governor's Thanks in Behalf of his Majesty, for being a good Soldier, and being the chief Instrument of saving & defending Fort William Henry, now called Fort George, on the 18th Day of March 1758, against the French and Indian Enemy, who came there about 2500 of them, totally to destroy it, and they did destroy almost every Thing about the Fort, except the said Fort, (which we bravely defended with about 300 Men) this he has done under God and received the public Thanks accordingly, not regarding his Life for the Good of this Province, and had no standing pay for it at the same Time for that whole affair; and he has had eleven different Commissions in the Army in this Country, even from an Ensign's to a Colonel's Commission in the King and Country's Service, and ever was reckoned a good Soldier for his Country's Good; none could go farther in the Field of Battle when the Bullets flew thickest, he was then in his Element, and came out of the Field of Battle with Honor; and now last of all, he has had Three different Revenue Commissions in his Majesty's Revenues in America, and what Damage has he done therein, but endeavoured to guard the King's Revenue the better, that he might get the more Duties from it, and to prevent prohibited Goods being run into the Colonies, which is a Damage to all fair Traders: Now those are the Reasons that he was treated so cruelly and inhumanely of late in Boston, no other Things surely was the Reason.---Oh! ungrateful Inhabitants of the Town of Boston to stand still and see and permit such an inhuman Thing to be done in your streets, and thro' them carried such a Man as that has been! tell it not in Gath, nor publish it in the Streets of Askelon, lest it should hereafter upbraid your Consciences.-----
A Friend to John Malcom and to the Community. A. Z.
Mr. FOWLE, AS I observe that they who get Money always gain Applause, by whatever Methods they acquire their Wealth, I am desirous in this Way to get a Reputation among my Countrymen, and be remembered by Posterity. I have for a long Time made the following Projection (which I met with in an old Newspaper,) the Subject of my Studies; I desire you would not think me whimsical in my Contrivance, considering that however strange it may seem at first, as unlikely Means, as these have sometimes been practised with Success for amassing an Estate from nothing.
But that which my Mind is most set on, is to propose a Method among the People to have Money something plentyer. Some I perceive are for having more paper Bills, while others seem rather inclinable to Gold and Silver; now the Project I am upon I have Vanity to think will please both Parties, and cause them to unite in my Applause.
I have bought a small Parcel of Ground, where after some Cultivation bestowed upon it, I intend to plant a Tree, whose Trunk and Limbs shall consist of fine Copper, which in a short Time will shoot up, and flourish in a very rich and ample Manner, this useful Vegetable, when it comes to Perfection is to blossom all in Silver, the Fruit is to be Gold; as the Leaves will Shade a weary Traveller with so many five Pound Bills, I cannot but please myself to imagine what Flocks of People will come to view my little Grove as soon as it begins to sprout, and in a little Time to see them obtain a Branch of me to transplant into their own Lands, where they will spread abroad with a Luxuriance that will cover the whole Country.---Methinks it will be very pleasant to see a Dollar in the Bud, or a ripe Guinea drop mellow on the Grass, and with what Rapture shall we hear a Tempest whistling through the Woods, when it only shakes us down Money.
A Man who chuses a Walk in my Forest may have his Head broke with a Crown dropping on it, and I expect my Windows often shattered by Stones and Brickbats flung up at shillings and Sixpences. It will be very pretty when a Cart rumbles by a Door for a Man to run out to buy Wood, and come in muttering tis nothing but a Cord of Copper. But dear Sir, I am in such a Hurry about this Business, that I must break off abruptly, and file myself, Your faithful Friend and Servant, SHORT CASH.

Say, Infidel! can'st thou survey Yon globe of fire, that gives the golden day, Th' harmonious of this vast machine, And not confess its Architect divine! Then go, vain wretch! tho' deathless be thy soul, Go, swell the riot, and exhaust the bowl, Plunge into vice, humanity resign, Go, fill the stie, and bristle into swine!
