Et mihi forsitan, tibi quod negarit.
LAST Friday Evening died, in the 55th Year of her Age, and on Tuesday following was interred, Mrs HANNAH SHEAFE, the arriable Consort of Mr. JACOB SHEAFE, of this Town; Merchant, whom she hath left with a Family of ten Children to lament their heavy Loss! The Purity of her Manners, which appeared in all the Duties of a virtuous Life, made her an excellent Wife, Mother and Friend. Her Affection was like her Piety, constant, as unfeigned. She exhibited a shining Example of Oeconomy in all her domestic Concerns: To the Poor she was kind and charitable; benevolent and courteous to all her numerous Acquaintance; by whom she was much esteemed. Thro' the Course of a lingering and distressing Disease, she manifested great Resignation to the Divine Will, and Reference to the desired worldly Enjoyments, and unshaken Faith in the Promises of the Gospel. The better Part, which she early in Life chose, afforded her a firm Support in the Prospect of Death; which King of Terrors she met with Christian Fortitude, welcoming his near Approach, triumph'd when she fell, and in the Fall, she rose.

BOSTON, Nov. 11.
At a Meeting of the Town on Friday last, a Number of printed Hand-Bills were seen to be distributed in the Hall, called "The TRADESMEN'S PROTEST against the Proceedings of the MERCHANTS, relative to the new Importation of TEA." Which was read by the Moderator at the Request of the Inhabitants; as follows,
"The TRADESMEN'S PROTEST against the Proceedings of the MERCHANTS, relative to the new Importation of TEA. Addressed to the Tradesmen and Inhabitants of this Town and Province in general, but to the Tradesmen of Boston in particular."
"AVOID THE TRAP. Remember the iniquitous Non Importation Scheme."
"BOSTON, Nov. 3, 1773. WHEREAS we have repeatedly been imposed upon, by the Merchants of the Town of Boston, and thereby incurred heavy Taxes upon us, and we stand unjustly charged with the Blame: And as it is now proposed by said Merchants to prevent the Importation of TEA from the India Company, whereby that Article may be sold for less than Half the Price they can afford it; who now call for our Attendance for that Purpose at Liberty-Tree, you are hereby advised and warned by no Means to be taken in by the deceitful Bait of those who falsely stile themselves Friends of Liberty."
"The PROTEST. We the Tradesmen of the Town of Boston therefore protest against said Meeting in the following Manner, viz. I. That the present proposed Meeting is illegal and underhanded; and as it is our humble Opinion that it is subversive of that constitutional Liberty we are contending for, and that such Proceedings will tend to create Disorder and Tumult in the Town, it is earnestly wished every well-disposed Member in the Community would use his Endeavours to prevent them in future."
"II. That the Method of notifying said Meeting is mean and despicable, and smells of Darkness and Deceit, as the Notification for warning the same was not signed, and was posted in the Night."
"III. We are resolved, by divine Assistance, to walk uprightly, and to eat, drink, and wear whatever we can honestly procure by our Labour; and to buy and sell when and where we please; herein hoping for the Protection of good Government: Then let the following Patriot throw out his thundering Bull, they will only serve to sooth our Sleep."
"The true SONS OF LIBERTY." printed by E. Russell, next the Cornfield, Union-Street.
After the reading of which, it was openly declared by one of the Inhabitants, that he saw Charles Paxton, one of the Commissioners of the Customs, giving them away the Day before in King-Street. It was then desired that the Tradesmen present might collect in a Part of the Hall by themselves that their Sense of the Paper might be taken; accordingly the Question was put to them. Whether they acknowledged the said Paper called the Tradesmen's Protest? which pass'd unanimously in the Negative. They also by a subsequent unanimous Vote declared their Disavowal of the Paper, as being false, scandalous and base; and their Detestation of Charles Paxton, and others, who had distributed the Copies, as well as of E. Russell, who printed them. In the Estimation of the Town, there were at least Four Hundred Tradesmen present in the Meeting. [Thus far Proceedings of the Town.]
WHEREAS a Number of the Inhabitants of the Town of Boston being assembled at Faneuil-Hall on Friday the 5th of November Instant, unanimously voted that the Subscriber was a Distributer of the Paper called the Tradesman's Protest. Now I solemnly declare, that I never was possessed of more than one of said Papers, which I bought for Three Half-Pence of a Boy in the Street, and not finding it worth Notice, in a few Minutes after I gave it to a Bystander, whom to my Knowledge, I never saw before nor since. And I further declare, that I never before heard such a Paper was published or intended to be published. CHARLES PAXTON. Boston, 10th Nov. 1773.
SUFFOLK, ss. BOSTON, November 10th, 1773. THE above-named Charles Paxton, Esq; personally appearing, maketh solemn Oath to the Truth of the foregoing Deposition by him subscribed. Before me, EDM. QUINCY, J. Pacis.
Mr. DRAPER. PLEASE to publish the following Account of the Importation of Teas from Great-Britain from the Commencement of the Year 1768, to the present Time, for the Information of such of your Readers as desire to be acquainted therewith.
Table with 3 columns: Years, Casks, by different Persons. Data: 1768, 943, by 32 different Persons; 1769, 340, 33; 1770, 167, 22; 1771, 890, 103; 1772, 375, 70; 1773, 378, 61.
N. B. The Merchants in London not having executed the Orders for Tea this Fall on Account of the expected Exportation from the East India Company greatly lessens the Quantity of the present Year.
Mr. DRAPER. The other Day turning over an old Farce, called the Assinarian Court, in which are several very extraordinary Scenes. In the Third Scene of the Second Act, the Poet describes the Multitude big with the Expectation of some important Novelty, in the following Lines.
'And now the Herd with Ears erected stand, While close Attention, silenced all the Band.' The Scene then opens, and the Crier enters and delivers the following.
O Yes! If any Manner of Person or Persons, shall be so ungodly, unchristian, uncharitable, unbending, uncomplying, unanything, and uneverything, as to harbour, entertain, comfort, aid, assist, cherish, secrete, suffer, to enter into their Houses, Barns, Stores, or to come on their Wharves, a certain vile, rascally, Blackguard, Whoremonger, Parricide, BOHEA TEA, a Native of India, shall be treated as Enemies to the Assinarian Court, by being stigmatized, with the Names of Villains, Rascals, Scoundrels, and Parricides, and many other libertarian Epithets, too many to be here enumerated. By VOX ET PRAETERIA NIHIL.
If you should find Room for the above in your Paper you'll oblige thy Friend, G. I. * * * * * Voting the Hand-Bills called the Tradesman's Protest, to be false, scandalous and base, doubtless is not inconsistent with the Freedom of the Press; but it may be asked, Whether, for a Town in a very full legal Meeting to vote or cause to be voted, A PRINTER obnoxious and to be held in Detestation, is not a Stroke at the Liberty of the Press UNREPRESENTED.
Last Tuesday Evening Mr. Samuel Avery, belonging to old York, was going on Board a Sloop lying at John Hancock's Wharf, it being very dark and stormy, fell in and was drowned, he hath left a Wife and Two or Three Children. Nov. 15. Last Thursday an Order was issued from the Captain General of this Province to Col. Hancock, of his Excellency's Company of Cadets, signifying that as the Company under his Command had heretofore signified themselves on a necessary Occasion, * His Excellency thought it proper that he should summon each one of the Company to be in Readiness, in Arms, at such Place as he (the Colonel) should think fit, for the Purpose of aiding the civil Magistrate in the Preservation of the Peace. We hear that the Lieutenant Colonel and the Major of the Company have declared that they will be ready to obey the Summons of their Colonel; but it is very much questioned whether Mr. Hancock will think himself obliged, even authorised by any Law of this Province, to pay the least Regard to so very extraordinary a Mandate.
During the Week past the Town has been quiet; no Person that we have heard of, having attempted the smallest Affront to either of the Tea-Commissioners. It is true, the Minds of Persons of all Ranks among the People are greatly uneasy, that they should thus persist in a Refusal to satisfy the Request of the Community, which they ought to suppose to be a reasonable Request, because 10 Twentieths of the Community are fully of Opinion, that a final Refusal will be attended with the most mischievous Effects. And the Uneasiness in the Minds of the People is increased by the Appearance of Companies of the Soldiers posted at Castle-Island marching through the neighbouring Towns in Arms, which to say the least is an Insult to a free People. But the Uneasiness is if possible still heightened, by this Call of the Captain General in his military Capacity, upon a Company of Soldiers, to make their Appearance in Arms, even before any Disorders happen. Surely the least Degree of Tenderness towards the People, and Regard for their Lives, would have caused a Delay of such a Call till the very last Extremity; unless the Design is to set up a Military Tyranny on the Ruins of a free civil Constitution.
* On the 10th of August, 1765.
When the Stamp-Act passed the British Parliament, it was proposed to send General HOWARD with an Army to enforce it: But that brave old Officer to his immortal Honor said, "he would sooner break his Sword in his own Bowels," Me, Me, in me convertite Ferrum! What shall we say when a Native of a Country shall upon the slightest Occasion call for the Sword! How much more Tenderness would his Excellency have shown to the People, if he had advised his Two Sons and his other Friends who have it in their Power to prevent so fatal a Necessity.
A Letter from St. Augustine, of Sept. 26, says, "The 29th Regiment, under the Command of Lieut. Colonel Carr, now about to leave the Province, both Officers and privates have lived in the greatest Harmony and Friendship with the Inhabitants, who sincerely regret their Departure."
One Night last Week, it being very dark and stormy, Two Fishing Boats belonging to this Town, in coming in from the Bay were unfortunately lost, one of them upon Fawn-Bar, the other on the Spit of Sand. The People were saved.
At a late Meeting of Military Adventurers in Connecticut, it was unanimously voted, that they would pursue the most vigorous Measures to carry on the Settlement of the Lands in West Florida, reserved for them by the Government, as soon as possible. Undertakers are permitted to carry on the Settlement of 4 Townships, who oblige themselves to embark with a Number of Settlers by the 10th of December next.
On the 27th of last Month the Rev. Mr. Abel Forward was ordained to the pastoral Care and Charge of the Church and Congregation in Southwick, at the Western Part of this Province.
The Snow Tristram, Capt. Shand, arrived at Providence last Thursday, from London, after a long Passage. No News! Extract of a Letter from Edenton, North Carolina, dated September 6, 1773.
"On the First Instant we had a most violent Gale of Wind, there were 15 Sail of Vessels at Ocracoke Bar, mostly outward bound, all of which, except one, were either drove on Shore or lost; indeed the greatest Part of them are entirely lost, and a Number of Persons, some say Fifty, perished; the hardest of the Gale was about North."
NEW YORK, November 4. Extract of a letter from St. George's Key, dated Honduras Bay, August 29, 1773.
"The Garland, in her way hither, called at Port Ochoa; at which place she spoke a register ship bound for Old Spain, who gave the following melancholly account, viz. That on the 29th of July last the city of Guatimalla was sunk by an earthquake, and upwards of 30,000 souls perished. It was but a few days before the Garland spoke the ship that she received the express to carry home. As this is the first vessel for America since we received the news, we beg you will have it inserted in your news-papers."
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 5. We hear from the Parish of Kensington, in Farmington, that one Evening last Week Mr. Nathaniel Hart of that Place, having with his Wife, sat up late, Miss Hart went to bed, leaving Mr. Hart by the Fire-Side, who told her, that he would directly follow her; Mrs. Hart soon fell asleep, and not waking till the Morning, when she found her Husband was not in Bed, but knowing him to be an early Riser, supposed he had got up, and was gone to one of the Neighbours. About Ten o'clock, Mrs. Hart had Occasion to go into the Cellar, when to her great Surprise, she found her Husband lying at the Bottom of the Stairs, a lifeless Corps, having his Skull broke in a most terrible Manner.
It was supposed by the Jury, that he fell from the Stairs, and struck his head against the Edge of the Board, that lay a little rising from the Cellar Floor, and that he was, instantly, killed by the Fall, as there were no Signs of his having made the least Struggle. He was esteemed an honest industrious Man, and his Death is greatly lamented in the Place where he lived. He was about 33 Years old, and has left Eight Children, the eldest of whom is not 14 Years old.
PHILADELPHIA, October 27. Extract of a Letter from Boston, Oct. 25, 1773.
"You may depend no Tea, should it arrive, will be landed here. The Spirit of Opposition to that Measure is daily gaining Strength, and will bring on a Struggle, that, I trust, will have a prosperous Issue."
We hear that the General Assembly of the lower counties, have appointed a committee of the house, to correspond with the committee of the other houses of Representatives, on the continent, to enquire into the nature, &c. of the new Court, opened at Rhode-Island, for enquiring into the affair of the Gaspée Schooner, and to have a particular attention to such acts of parliament, as may in any wise affect America.

BALTIMORE, October 16. Yesterday arrived the Brig Prince of Wales, Morrison, from Londonderry, with about 200 passengers, which makes no less than 3500, that have left that port only within one year, and come to seek in our back, extensive and happy territory, peaceable and comfortable residences, which those loyal industrious people could not enjoy in their native land, from the ill judged oppression, exercised over that sinking country, by Great-Britain. Let the deplorable state of this once prosperous land, fill Americans with wary apprehensions, and rouse them with an animated warmth, to resist every attempt of parliamentary tyranny under what specious or plausible pretext, or guise, soever it may be afforded; for the smallest restriction of our liberty admitted, ALL WILL BE LOST.
