Since our last arrived here Captain Lyde, in seven Weeks from London; by whom we have the following Articles, from the Public Prints, viz.
A full Account of the Election of the Sheriffs for the City of London.
LONDON June 18. 1773.
YESTERDAY evening, at nine o'clock, a very respectable number of the Livery attended at the Half Moon Tavern, agreeable to public advertisement, to consider of two proper Candidates for the Shrievalty. Mr. Bishop was called to the Chair, and after the usual introduction of the business, Mr. Cawdron informed the Company that he had, by desire of a number of the Livery, summoned the Livery by public advertisements.
Mr. Hurford moved for Messrs. Kirkman and Plover to be nominated by the company present to serve the office of Sheriffs for this City and County of Middlesex, for the year ensuing. A Gentleman, almost a total stranger to the company, called Doctor Lee, got up and proposed Mr. Sayre, Citizen and Framework Knitter, (equally a stranger) as a proper person to serve the office of Sheriff; this Gentleman spoke much to his character, and endeavoured to recommend him, which reflected much honour on the Doctor's head and heart: He was seconded by Mr. Reynolds, so that it clearly appeared, that Mr. Kirkman and Mr. Sayre were the men fixed on to serve the office by the Bill of Rights Society.
Mr. Graham then entered into a very tedious detail, wherein he attempted to reflect on Mr. Hurford and Sheriff Oliver; desiring that great care might be taken in the election of Sheriffs; that as to Alderman Kirkman he would by no means vote for him, and for Mr. Sayre, however worthy, he was little known, that of the three Mr. Plover was the most proper person. Mr. Hurford answered, that Mr. Graham's reflections were not worth attending to, but he should abide by the determination of his fellow Citizens.
Mr. Reynolds then endeavoured to recommend Mr. Alderman Kirkman and Mr. Sayre.
Mr. Graham then preached another Sermon, and Mr. Mafkall then rose, and in a great measure coincided in opinion with Mr. Graham in a matterly speech that met with great applause; he took notice of the corruption of the times, the present state of our trade and manufactures, and the dreadful situation of the Nation; and concluded with recommending unanimity and consistency among themselves; that self-interest, craft, cunning, and deceit, reigned triumphant in the Common Council; and that, upon the whole, virtue was as much wanted in the City as at the west end of the town.
Mr. Stone then, with a delivery peculiar to himself, attempted to push forward Mr. Kirkman, in consideration of his great and mighty weight and interest in the City. The question was then put, and a great majority appeared for Mr. Plover and Mr. Sayre; Mr. Kirkman had very few hands, and was hissed. Thus ended this mighty business.
A Correspondent sends us the following as a Copy of an elegant speech made by John Reynolds, a Common-councilman, at this Meeting at the Half-Moon-Tavern the 17th Instant:
Mr. Chairman,
"I should not have risen up to speak on this Occasion, after what the worthy Gentleman who spoke last has said on this Occasion, if he had not spoke so low, that the Gentlemen at the other End of the Table could not hear what he said on this Occasion; that is the Reason of my troubling you on this Occasion, which otherwise I should not have done on this Occasion."
"The Gentleman has very ably recommended Mr. Sayre on this Occasion, and I am of Opinion that he deserves your Support on this Occasion, which I hope you will shew him on this Occasion, and therefore I think it unnecessary for me to say any more on this Occasion."
To the Worthy LIVERYMEN of the City of LONDON, GENTLEMEN,
HAVING had the Honour of being recommended, by a previous Meeting of your Body, to be put in Nomination for the Shrievalty, I think myself particularly called upon to lay before you my public Principles.
I have felt no less than you, and with equal Indignation the numerous Violations of our Liberties, by a Series of unprincipled Ministers, under the wicked Influence of a Favourite, truly characterised as a Man WANTING WISDOM, AND HOLDING PRINCIPLES INCOMPATIBLE WITH FREEDOM. I was determined to give every Resistance in my Power, to such arbitrary Measures.
With this Resolution, I assisted in forming the Society of the Bill of Rights, for the Support of public Liberty, and the Protection of that INTREPID PATRIOT, who first bravely stood forth the Shield of the People, against their PROUD Oppressors. As a Member of that Society, I have continued to act on its original Principles.
Neither my own Inclination nor Interest, but the Opinion of the Friends of Liberty, and the Exigences of the Public Cause, now call me forth to offer my Services in this very important Office.
The Battle is still depending; nor should we yet lay aside our Arms. The Enemies of our invaluable Constitution, are daily offering it new Violence. They have not ceased to infringe our Liberties. Let us persevere in our Defence,
The Example of the East-India Company may shew us, that neither the Faith of Parliament, nor the Sanction of Charters is held sacred, when violating them may serve the Purposes of Corruption and Arbitrary Power. They who could advise the taking away, by absolute Violence and Injustice, the chartered Rights of the Company, will not hesitate to invade those of this City, and of every other Corporation in the Kingdom. They who could devise the Disfranchisement of 1250 Voters out of 1600 in the East-India Company, without a Proof of Delinquency, merely that they might more effectually corrupt the remaining Few, will be ready to disfranchise two Thirds of the Freeholders of this Kingdom for the same wicked Purpose. These Measures are justly alarming; and whether in a private or public Capacity, my firm Purpose is to persevere in opposing every arbitrary Proceeding, and in defending the Cause of the People.
You, Gentlemen, must determine, whether the present Crisis calls for a Sheriff of the public Principles I avow. If you do, your Virtue and Spirit will elect him. Should I have the Honour of being your chosen Servant, you shall find me vigilant and steady in Support of those Sacred Privileges, which are your best Inheritance, and which I will, at the Hazard of my Life, be always ready to defend.
The Law of the Land, and your Will, shall be the sole Guide of my Conduct; and I will resist, in every Instance, all Attempts to trample upon your Rights, whether it be by the arbitrary Mandate of a Minister, or the venal Vote of a treacherous House of Commons.
I am, with the truest Respect, Gentlemen, Oxford-Street,                      Your most faithful and Wednesday,                      obedient humble Servant, June 23.                                              STEPHEN SAYRE.
LONDON June 25.
Yesterday being Midsummer-Day, there was a very numerous and respectable Appearance of the Livery of London in Common-Hall assembled, for the annual Purpose of electing Sheriffs for the City of London, and County of Middlesex, for the ensuing Year.
The Lord Mayor, attended by the Sheriffs, Aldermen, Stephenfon, Wilkes, Bull, Sawbridge, Halifax and Plover, together with the City Officers, ascended the Husting about one o'clock, when the Hall being opened by the common Cryer, Mr. Recorder came forward, and, in a truly constitutional Speech, informed the Livery of the great Importance of this their annual Election, "that it was, in a great Measure, from a proper Choice of Sheriffs, their Ancestors were enabled to secure to them their Rights and Privileges; he therefore said he had no Doubt but that they would be actuated by the same constitutional Principles, on the present Occasion."
After the Recorder had retired, M. B. Allen, Esq; reminded the Livery, that last Year he was forbidden by the then Recorder, to introduce any Matter on this Day but that relative to the Election; he therefore called upon the present Recorder for his Opinion on that Matter.
The Recorder immediately got up, and delivered it as his Opinion, that the Livery had it in their Choice to debate on any Matter, relative to their Rights they thought proper.
Having obtained this Sanction, the Captain then proposed that Instructions (which he read) should be given the four Members of Parliament for the City of London, to support next Session of Parliament, the Motion of Alderman Sawbridge in favour of annual Elections.
This Motion being duly put and seconded, was carried. After which the Deputy Town-Clerk (in the Absence of Sir James Hodges) acquainted the Livery of the Lord Mayor, &c. presenting their last Petition to the King, agreeable to their Order, and at the same Time read to them his Majesty's answer; when the Lord-Mayor &c. retired.
The Lord Mayor, Recorder and several of the Aldermen having left the Husting, the Sheriffs proceeded to the Choice of Officers for the ensuing Year, when the Chamberlain, Bridge-Masters, Ale-Conners, Auditors, and others were continued, two of the latter Office excepted, in whose Room Messrs. Nicholson and Piper were elected.
The Names of the several Gentlemen eligible to the Office of Sheriff were then read, when the Shew of Hands evidently appeared in favor of Messrs. Kirkman, Plover and Stephen Sayre, but Mr. Kirkman having in a Letter to Mr. Oliver, positively declared accepting the Offer intended him by the Livery, Mr. Plover was unexpectedly hissed in an Office, which if he fills with either Dignity or Spirit, his woeful Countenance tells most horrid Fibbs.
When the Name of SAYRE was mentioned, the Livery, by their repeated Shouts of Applause, declared their Approbation of the Man and his Principles. The Sheriffs having returned Messrs. Sayre and Plover duly elected, Mr. Sayre addressed the Livery nearly to the following Purport:
Mr. Sayre's Speech to the Livery, on being chosen Sheriff for the ensuing Year.
"GENTLEMEN of the LIVERY."
"It is impossible for me to express the Feelings of Gratitude which predominate in my Breast upon the present Occasion. The Honor you have done me calls for a Return, which a Life entirely devoted to your Services only can make. I deem myself more highly favoured, because I am well convinced, that nothing under Heaven could have induced you to elect me into the Office of Sheriff, but an Opinion of my Independence, and sincere Attachment to the public Cause. I am independent; I will continue so. Upon public Grounds only I presumed to solicit your Favor: Upon public Grounds only I will study to deserve it. It shall be the Labour of my Life to convince you, that in vesting me with an important Trust, you have not made an improper Choice. I will
strain every Nerve in combating our common Foe; I will labour assiduously to stop the Progress of Despotism; at least I will, by a vigorous exertion of those Powers with which you have entrusted me, prevent its making any Inroads into this great, this opulent, this free and independent City."
Mr. Plover delivered himself to the following Effect:
Mr. Plover's Speech to the Livery, on being chosen Sheriff for the ensuing Year.
"GENTLEMEN,
"I Am obliged to you for the Honor you have done me, and shall endeavour to merit a Continuance of Your, Favours. I will acquit myself in that important Station to which you have elected me, as becomes a Man anxious to preserve your good Opinion. I mean to act with Propriety, as one thoroughly sensible of your favours, for which I cannot too often express myself highly obliged."
The following is a correct Copy of General Monckton's Letter to the Chairman and deputy Chairman of the East-India Company:
"GENTLEMEN,                      Bruton Street, June 14.
"I have received a Letter from your Secretary, inclosing a Resolution of a General Court of the East-India Company, by which they do me the Honor of recommending me to the Court of Directors to appoint me Commander in chief of their Forces in India."
"The repeated Favours conferred on me by the Company are extremely flattering to me; but my Situation at present is such, both in Regard to my being excluded the Council, and his Majesty's most gracious Intention of providing for me, which was communicated to me the Day preceding the General Court, that I cannot with Propriety accept any Offers of Command or Power in India, however honorable or advantageous."
"I must beg, Gentlemen that you will assure the General Court of Proprietors that I shall ever retain the strongest Impressions of Gratitude for the Honor intended me, as well as the sincerest Wishes for the Prosperity of the Company."
"I have the Honour to be, &c.
(Signed)                      "ROBERT MONCKTON."

LONDON, June 28.
Letters from Corfou, the Capital of the Island of that Name in the Mediterranean, belonging to the Venetians, mention that a Third Part of that City has been thrown down by an Earthquake, which did considerable Damage on the Coast of Africa.
If, says a Correspondent, we for a moment advert to our present extensive Dominions, part of which very near us are so unsettled as to require the utmost attention. To hold even these, "the West India Islands and whole Continent of North America," exceeds, I apprehend, the grasp of Rome in their highest power; to add so extensive a part of the Mogul Empire as we at present meditate, is to exceed the conquests of Alexander, and the fruits will infallibly be the same, first division and then a train of evils that will at length leave us like them only a name, and an example to posterity.
The Earl of Corke, in a letter from Florence, written in the year 1755. makes the following observation, which a correspondent says he thinks is prophetic: "The ball of empire may hereafter roll westward, and may stop in America; a World Unknown when Greece was in its meridian Glory, a World that may save the Tears of some future Alexander."
Wednesday Lord Townshend was married to Miss Montgomery. She is said to be about 17, and his Lordship about 50 Years of Age.
Lord Townshend's Marriage with Miss Montgomery so piqued the Pride of his Mother the Lady Dowager, that the one Morning, during an Interview with her son, burst into Tears, and exclaimed at the folly of his Conduct. Lord Townshend tried every Method to sooth her Grief; he begged her to be composed, for, "Dear Madam, said he, why should you shed Tears at my Marriage?" "Why, indeed, (replied his Mother recollecting herself) it is ridiculous in me to cry at what all the World laughs at."
Extract of a Letter from Portsmouth, June 22.
"His Majesty arrived this Day about eleven, went immediately to the Commissioners in the Dock-Yard, where he staid above an Hour; he then went to the Governor's House, where the Mayor, Aldermen and Recorder of Portsmouth, waited on him and congratulated him on his Arrival; they returned afterwards to the Town Hall. The Mayor had the Honor to be knighted."
Extract of a Letter from Portsmouth, June 23.
"After the Levee Yesterday, his Majesty returned to the Dock, and there got into his Barge, and went off, accompanied by the Lords of the Admiralty, and all the Barges in the Fleet, to Spithead, on Board the Barfleur, where he dined, when all the Ships saluted him a second Time. After Dinner he went through the Fleet in his Barge, accompanied as before, when every Ship was manned, and saluted him with 21 Guns and three Cheers as he passed them. After which he went on board the Augusta Yacht, and sailed into the Harbour, accompanied by the William & Mary & Fubbs, with an incredible Number of Pleasure-Boats and Spectators. At Night the Town, Common, and Gosport were all illuminated."
"More than five Hundred Yachts and Vessels, with Company on Board, have every Day attended the Review at Spithead, and most of them had Cannon on Board, which kept up a constant fire, as his Majesty passed and re-passed them, all which, with the continual Salutes and Huzzas from the Men of War, the Display of Flags on board the dressed Ships, together with the Fineness of the Weather, made a very grand Appearance; it far exceeded all Expectations."

W A R S A W (Capital of Poland) May 15. The following is an account of all the operations of the Russian army since the armistice; The 29th of March Major Bagdanow attacked 80 Turks near Turno, and killed 13 men. The 31st of the same month Prince Gallitzin attacked a corps of 500 Turkish cavalry, near Silesia, and killed 40 of them. The Cossacks have taken a vast quantity of cattle, and burnt three mills. The first of April Lieut. Tessen, with 305 grenadiers, routed several detachments of Turks in the night, and attacked those who were entrenched near Hulbal, on the Danube, and killed 100 men, and one Emir Aga. The 2d of April the Russians took several Turkish vessels on the Danube. The 16th General Potemkin beat a corps of 2000 Turks, who had come to an island in the Danube, opposite Likareft, and killed 500 of them. The 20th Major Jochemson took 39 Turkish vessels near Giergewo. The 26th and 27th Col. Kiltchka, with 600 grenadiers, 400 light troops, and 1300 Cossacks, with six pieces of cannon, passed over the Danube, and beat a detachment of 2000 Turks, made one Aga prisoner, and took a standard. The 28th the same Colonel met a Basha with 2000 men, 300 of whom he killed, made 53 prisoners, and took six standards. The same day Major Lalasz, with two regiments of Cossacks, overtook the Basha Czerkies, plundered his whole army, and even took his staff of command. The 30th 500 Tartars were attacked by the Cossacks, 300 of them killed and 30 made prisoners. The 1st of May, 300 waggons with Turkish families, were taken as they were going towards the Danube. Colonel Bogleman has defeated a large corps of Turks opposite Giergewo, 1000 of whom were killed, and 38 made prisoners. Among the prisoners which have been taken, are 1 Aga of the Janissaries, one other Aga and a Basha.
A late Action of the RUSSIANS.
Kaminiec, June 7. We have received from Warsaw a Confirmation of the Advantages gained by Gen. Suwarow over the Turks, with the following Particulars: The Russian General commanded a Body of 12,000 Men, & attacked 20,000 Turks in their Camp. He took several Bachas and twelve Pieces of Cannon. The Turks had retired into a Fortress which was on the Point of capitulating, on the Departure of the Courier.
The Russians have taken 51 Boats laden with Provisions and Ammunition. Not one Corps of Russians passes the Danube without gaining some Advantage over the Turks, whose Courage appears to be greatly exhausted. It is said that there have been already some Mutinies in the grand Army.
Warsaw, June 7. A Courier is just arrived here from the Army of Count Romanzow with Advice that Major General Suwarow in the Night between the 9th and 10th of May had passed the Danube near Turtukaz, which he invested whilst his main Body attacked a Body of 4000 Turks who were entrenched near that Place. The Turks made a powerful Resistance but were at length constrained to leave the Place, and left 1500 dead on the Spot. The Garrison of Turtukaz retreated on the above Defeat, and the Russians took Possession both of the Fortress and Retrenchments. The General distributed the Booty among his Troops, after which he ordered several Pieces of Cannon which were taken to be thrown into the Danube, burnt the Magazines, fifty-one Boats, and reduced the Place to Ashes. He only brought off four Pieces of Cannon, and Six Standards. The same Advices add, that Count Romanzow had not passed the Danube, but that the light Troops under General Westman had made Incursions almost to Constantinople.
Oranto, May 31. We have received Letters from the Archipelago giving an Account that the Russians had landed several thousand Men on the Island of Negropont, where the Turks had but a weak Garrison; but a large Body of Arnauts marching immediately to attack them, the Russians retired with Precipitation to their Ships after meeting a considerable Loss.

It is said that the Bill now drawing up by a noble Law Lord, with respect to the disposal of criminals, will contain among other Things, that no person shall hereafter be transported to the Colonies, but be either sent to serve in the East Indies, or be shut up for a certain term, or for life, in strong houses, four of which are to be erected in every County, where those who are not bred to trades are to be kept to hard labour. This regulation is said to be in consequence of a remonstrance from the Provinces of Virginia, Maryland and Connecticut, complaining of the inu- dation of vagabonds from Great-Britain and Ireland.
Yesterday there was a Court of Common Council held in mat- ted gallery, at Guildhall. Mr. Wilkes moved an Address to the King, on the birth of another Princess of the Hanoverian line which was seconded by Mr. Reynolds. The motion was opposed by Messieurs Trecothick and Sawbridge, and many of the Commoners, on the ground of being indecent and offensive to his Majesty. A debate arose and on putting the question, about 20 hands appeared for Mr. Wilkes's motion, and about 160 against it.

June 25 A Gentleman, just arrived from Portsmouth, relates that notwithstanding the Weather was very serene when his Majesty went on board the Barfleur on Tuesday to dine he was so excessive sea-sick that he was not able to eat any Dinner. He went to Bed about 11 o'clock the same Night, and was very much fatigued.— Just after his Majesty had entered his Barge, in the Midst of the royal Salute, one of the Sons of Neptune, being too eager in getting through the Lubber's Hole, unfortunately missed his Step, & falling into the Sea, was drowned.— A French Nobleman, who came there to see the Review, was on Monday Morning seized with an apoplectic fit, and now lies past all hopes of recovery.
Extract of a letter from Portsmouth, June 22.
"The naval review planned by Lord Sandwich and agreed to by his Majesty, has long been the subject of conversation; expectation has, in this case, as upon every other similar occasion, out run possibility; as soon as the matter was publickly known, to have been determined on, circumstances which never could happen, were boldly asserted to be part of the plan, and as many lies have been plausibly produced on the subject of this nautical pageantry, as the boundless scope of fanciful imagination could suggest. — The road to this seaport was on Saturday and Sunday last, a perfect fair; at Godalming, almost every bed, that could boast a feather in it's tick was taken up; the George (Snelling's) was filled, and many of the private houses were crouded with the customers carcases. On Monday this town was infinitely more thin, and the road to it amazingly clear: The bells of Godalming, were, however, set a ringing about eight, and the townfolks stood at their doors, decked out in their Sunday apparel, to gaze at, and make rude observations, on those whose convenience suited to choose that town as a night stage. On the Tuesday, the road from Godalming to Portsmouth was lined with the country people, and from Petersfield the hills were not more discernable for their white chalk, than red cloaks and farmers frocks which covered them; at many places the gazers sat on eminences a quarter of a mile distance from the road, probably expecting the King would come in the shape of a huge monster, and be of a size to be seen from afar. — At a quarter before ten, his Majesty, accompanied by an officer passed through Pembroke turnpike; he was saluted there by some guns from the house of Peter Tayor, Esq; on Postdownhill; His Majesty's chaise stopped about five minutes to take a view of the sea, which there opens to the eye on a sudden, and has a very fine appearance, giving at once the Isle of Wight, a large extent of the coast, the whole harbour and town of Portsmouth, and an unlimited space of water to the beholders sight, near five thousand persons were placed on the hill to take a peep at the King; his pausing gratified their warmest wishes, and they returned their thanks by loud huzzas, and all those tokens of applause which the inhabitants of London and Westminster have long since denied his Majesty. The King's chaise was preceded from Petersfield by a coach, in which the master of the horse rode, with some other person of the household; a few horse grenadiers accompanied his Majesty on the road; his equipage changed horses at Ripley. About a quarter before eleven he entered Portsmouth, when the guns on the walls were fired, and he was received with every military honor, &c. &c."

The many eminent Services of Mr. Stephen Sayre, a Native of this Province, and now a respectable Merchant in the City of London, are likely to be rewarded by the popular Party there, in a very distinguished Mark of their Esteem and Confidence, He is nominated with Alderman Plomer, to be a Sheriff for the City of London and County of Middlesex, in Preference of all the junior Aldermen; an Event that is not in the least doubted, he will stand fair for Elevation to the highest Honors of the City.
Within this Fortnight three Thousand five Hundred Passengers have arrived at Philadelphia from Ireland.

N E W-L O N D O N, Aug. 13.
Friday last the Sloop Mississippi, Capt. Goodrich, arrived at New-York from the Mississippi, but last from Pensacola, in 26 Days, having Passengers, Col. Israel Putnam, Capt. Roger Enos, Mr. Thaddeus Lyman, and Lieut. Rufus Putnam, who were a Committee from the Company of Military Adventurers (so called) for exploring the Lands bounded West on the River Mississippi and North on the River Yasou, between Lat. 32 and 34. Which Tract of Land was said to have been granted to General Lyman and the Military Adventurers: And on Tuesday last Col. Putnam, and Lieut. Putnam arrived here by Water from New-York, after eight Months absence. The general Account which they give is, that they went 450 Miles up the said River above the Island of Orleans, found the Lands to be extremely fine, but very little cleared; the Climate good and healthy; and that Passages up the River are perform'd with greater Ease, (especially in the Spring Season) than has been represented. A more particular Account of their Doings it is thought proper to omit, till a general Meeting of the Company, which it is expected will shortly be held.
The following Account is received from the Above Gentlemen, viz. "In the Month of December last, as a French Boat was coming down the Mississippi, about 20 Leagues above the Natchez she was robbed of about 600 Skins, 600 Dollars and a large Quantity of Flour; and all her People were murdered, (being three white Men and two blacks.) the Villains who perpetrated this Crime are supposed to be Joshua Howard, Earnest Hooper, Charles Holmes, Reaeson Young, Richard Hollaway, and Absalom Hooper, most of whom if not all, were of the Regulators of North Carolina, except Haywood, who was Servant to Col. Fanning. They were all combined in a horrid Scheme to rob all French Boats that should fall into their Hands; and the better to secrete their Villanies, Haywood set out for an Indian Trader; in order to dispose of the Skins they should get, they all lived near the Natchez, and for the above Purpose went up the River, where lighting with the Frenchmen, they invited them on Shore on pretence of trading with them, where they perpetrated the horrid Crime by each shooting his Man: The three Whites were killed out-right, but the Blacks only wounded. These Villains propagated a Report, that this and some other Mischiefs were done by the Savages, but the above Gentlemen found them of quite a different Temper, and think themselves bound, in Justice to those Tribes, (whom they found very hospitable) to give the above Information to the Public."
B O S T O N, August 19.
Stephen Sayre, Esq; one of the Sheriffs elected for the City of London, is a Native of New-York, was in America a few Years since:—A Gentleman well respected here, in the Year 1765 received the honorary Degree of M.

We hear from Casco-Bay, that last Thursday sen'night, a Boy belonging to Captain Crocker's Falmouth Packet, accidentally fell from the Shrouds on to the Wharf as she lay there, by which he was so much hurt that he died the next Day.
Extract of a Letter from London, May 26.
"I take the first Opportunity of acquainting you that the East-India Company have obtained Leave by Act of Parliament, to export their Teas from England Duty-Free and in a short Time, perhaps a Month, a Cargo will be sent to Boston (subject to the Duty payable in America) to be sold in that Place on their Account; and they mean to keep America so well supplied, that the Trade to Holland for that Article must be greatly affected."
Salem, August 24.
Last Friday departed this Life, at his House in this Town, the Hon. BENJAMIN PICKMAN, Esq; in the 67th Year of his Age.
A Protest was published in Yesterday's Boston Papers, by Mr. William Winter, Notary Public, signed by several Persons, against John Malcom, for seizing, on the 7th Inst. in Kennebec-River, the Schooner Freedom. On his being asked the Reason for his making the Seizure, he said,—"I have a Right to seize any Vessel I please, in the most private Manner, & am not obliged to give any Reason to any Body therefor, having Authority to do by my Commission; and this Seizure will make all Coasters know my Power."—He also said, "I have not seized her for having contraband Goods, for I don't think she has any on board."
A Canoe, on Thursday the 5th Instant, crossing the River at Penobscot, overset with seven People in her, 5 of whom were drowned, viz, Joseph Rose and two Sons, one of 15 Years old, and the other about 11; two young Men belonging to Col. Goldthwait, viz. Benjamin Chandler and James Dunn, about 20 Years old each. The other two with much Difficulty were saved.
A few Days before this, a Squaw was drowned, near the same Place, in going across the River in a Birch Canoe.
About the same Time; two Canoes of Indians were hunting Moose in the Night, as is usual at this Season of the Year; and being in Pursuit of one, which was swimming at a small Distance from the headmost Canoe, an Indian in the other, taking that Canoe to be the Moose, fired and killed one of his Companions, whose Name was Loron, the likeliest Indian in the Penobscot Tribe. As soon as he was dead, the other Indians cut off one of his Hands, salted and smoked it, in order to preserve it, to carry to their Priest in Canada, according to their Custom, in accidental Death.
The Rev. Mr. Ripley, of Dartmouth-College, lately made a Visit to the Penobscot Indians, and prevailed on one young Indian to go with him to be educated at the said College; some more of them expect to go, but desire Time to consider it. Loron, mentioned above, was one of the Deputies who met Mr. Ripley, to confer with him upon his Mission, and was his greatest Opponent.—This Gentleman did not so entirely confine himself to his Indian Mission, as to omit the Duties of Christianity wherever he went, and has left a very respectable Name behind him.
The Rev. Mr. Noble, employed by the Province as a Missionary in the Eastern
Parts, is now preaching at Penobscot.—This Gentleman, as well as his Predecessor. Mr. Little, have done much Honour to themselves, and to the Province, in this laudable Undertaking.
His Excellency the Governor has prorogued the Great and General Court or Assembly to Wednesday the 3d of Nov. next.
