Messieurs FOWLER, As you are Friends to Liberty and Mankind, please to insert the following in your GAZETTE.
SEVERAL Proposals have been offered to the Consideration of the Public, for the commemorating the 5th of March on Account of the Massacre of 5 Americans on that Day, by the Soldiers who were sent hither by the Enemies of America to abuse and enslave us. Such a proposal at first View, strikes us with full Conviction of its Propriety, and upon mature Deliberation appears important, fraught with innumerable Advantages to the common Wealth. It is immaterial what Day is observed, perhaps a Day might suit one Province that would not suit another, but that each Province should annually on some stated Day commemorate the important Events that have happened relative to the Government and Liberties of this Country, will appear to every thinking Mind of the least Penetration to be matter of great Importance. All Men upon Earth agree in this, "Liberty is the sweetest enjoyment in Life, and the most precious Gift of Heaven here below"; and it has been the study of wise Men in all Nations and in all Ages to cultivate and defend this heavenly Flower. ---Methods similar to that which is here proposed, have been practised in the greatest, most flourishing, free, and happy Nations that ever inhabited the World; and were supposed to contribute greatly to their Freedom and Glory.
Unless there be stated Days for delivering Discourses upon Government, the fundamental Laws of the Land, the Advantages of civil and religious Liberty, with Observations upon the Government and Policy of other Nations, &c. People will grow in-attentive to those Concerns, and designing Men, that detestable Herd of Beings called Tyrants, will by slow Degrees invade their Rights, pleading "its for necessary Support of Government," until the People are strip of all their Liberties and reduced to abject Slaves. ---This has been the Case with the most flourishing nations that ever knew the Name of Liberty; which ought to be an instructive Lesson to us to profit by their Loss, and a Warning to guard with the utmost Vigilance against that fatal Evil which has overwhelmed the brightest Realms with Ignorance and Slavery; involved in Ruin and sunk to utter Destruction, the bravest, most enlightened powerful Nations that ever beheld the Sun! ---None who are not lost to virtue, to manly Thought, and the noble sallies of Soul, "will deny the Worth of Liberty, or refuse to assist in preserving the inestimable Blessing.---May you to whom Heaven has given Riches, attend to the call of Liberty, hearken to the Voice of Reason and Religion, and at once do an Act that will give your Names an honorable Immortality, and contribute greatly to the Salvation of your Country; whereby the Blessing of Millions may come upon you, and all future Generations call you Blessed.---Give a Sum of Money to found an annual Lecture upon Government, the Interest whereof to be given to the Persons who deliver the Lectures.---Every one knows the usefulness of public Lectures upon Physic, Philosophy, and many other subjects, which have been founded by noble Persons for the good of Mankind; certainly Lectures upon a Subject of such vast Importance as Government, would be of infinite Service to preserve the Liberties of a Nation and promote their Happiness. Upon those public Days Oration should be delivered upon the noble Deeds of patriotic Governors, Councillors, Senators, Judges, and other Worthies who in their different Spheres have asserted the Rights, maintained the Liberties, and promoted the Welfare of their Country. Example has a mighty Influence upon the human Mind; and nothing stimulates Men more to noble Exertions than to have the bright Examples of their Ancestors set before them. Such an Institution will keep Reputation on the side of Virtue, make noble Deeds the steps to Preferment, be a strong Attraction to the Paths of Honour, and a Spur to quicken Men in the shining Road.---The Love of Fame is universal, and it will turn that great Spring of the human Mind into its right channel, and lead Men on to every Thing that is Good & Great.---That Godlike Passion PATRIOTISM, will kindle from Breast to Breast and glow in every Mind.---The wretched Lust of Gold and Power, which absorbs every manly Thought in grovelling Souls and sordid Minds, will die beneath the spreading Beams of Honour.---Men will learn the Dignity of Man, and scorn a Deed that stains the Soul, or degrades the Mind to Scenes that would sully Honour, or dim the brightest Fame.---How numerous, and great the Blessings which may be the Fruit of those generous Foundations which are proposed to you who are blessed with Fortunes? By such a Deed, you will act agreeable to the divine Principles which Religion inspires, the Honour of God and the Happiness of Man; at once promote human Felicity both Temporal and Eternal, for Religion commonly dies with Liberty, and both expire by the same stroke.---How refined the Satisfaction that will arise from such Philanthropy, such extensive Beneficence, which may reach to distant Ages and bless the latest Generations of Men? The Reflection will touch the Mind with the most sublime Pleasure, sweeten every Enjoyment and brighten all the future scenes of Life,---gild your setting Sun, with heavenly Rays, enter with you into the Regions of Immortality, attend you thro' the blissful Circles of Heaven, and be a spring of Joy to an endless Duration.
February 25th, 1771. CONSIDERATION. From the Public Advertiser, of Nov. 7. To the Printer of the Public Advertiser.
SIR, AT a Time when every little Committee of Friends and Neighbours, as well as Clubs of Politicians, are debating the Point of War or No War, permit me by your Paper to submit a few candid Remarks to their Consideration, and to ask the Advocates for
War, why they are so urgent for a War with Spain, the first Kingdom on Earth with whom it is our true Interest to be in Amity and Friendship with? If they answer me, it is their Interests prompts them to war with the Views of Jobbs, Contracts, Plunder, Places, Commissions, high Insurances, and a long Train of such Concomitants, I will say they are right on the Principle of Self-interest and narrow Views! But if they tell me they urge for War on the Principles of Honor, Justice, Patriotism, or National Interest; I will deny the Facts, and argue the Points with them.---With regard to Honor and Justice, is it consistent with either that we go to war with Spain on account of the Falkland-Islands, when by the Treaty of Utrecht we ceded them with all the American Territories South of the Tropic of Capricorn, and confirmed the Cession by the Treaties of Aix-le-Chapelle and Paris?---If this be the Case, and for Proofs I refer to the Treaty; are not we the Aggressors, and was not Spain actuated with Lenity in not punishing with greater Severity those they found there? and should not we treat as Pirates and Buccaneers any Spaniards who would take Possession of Guernsey or the Isle of Man? Are we then to urge a War because we were the Aggressors?---As to the Patriotism and National Interest, is it consistent with either to imbrue our Hands in Blood for an Island whence no one useful Thing is produced, not so much Wood as to make a Handle to a Hatchet? For a Port where it blows a Hurricane for eight months in the Year, and to which Place you must send even the Coals wherewith to boil your Kettles? Absurd Politics! And by a Continuance of such we have alienated the Affections of a People the best suited on Earth to be our Friends & Allies, and thrown them unto the Arms of France, whose interest it is to keep up the Enmity in order to bring into their Coffers those hard Dollars, which would otherwise center in England. In a Word, Britain allied with Spain might brave the World. The stately Pride of the Spaniards is so well suited to the Industry of the British Manufacturer, that it is surprising they should ever be at Enmity! Spain has all that Britain wants; Britain has all that Spain wants. Spain can exchange her Wines, Oils, Silks, Honey, Fruits, Silver and Gold for British Corn, Woollens, Linens, Butter, Cheese, Tin, Copper, Jewellery, Hard-ware, Fish, and an hundred other Commodities to supply her vast Tract of rich Colonies abounding in Riches and Luxury. It is not the Custom of English Artisans to be Enemies to their best Customers; who then so inveterate against Spain? nor is it the Nature of the People of Spain to bear Enmity against the English; but on the contrary their Proverb is, "Peace with England, and War with all the World beside." From whence then arises that false Policy that keeps us at Enmity? We are either duped by French Politics, or misled by party Cabals, who care not who trouble the Water so they can fish. I have experienced Spanish Fidelity. I have made my Fortune easy by Commerce, and am not a Stranger to my Country's Interest; nor am I circumscribed in any Point of my Ambition but that of doing Good. I have no private Views nor End to answer, but boldly say, could my Powers reconcile the jarring Politics of these two Nations by Nature made for each other, my Blood should
flow as freely as my Ink, and nothing would give me more Pleasure than to see some able Pen join me in so desirable a Task; and I hope by these my weak Endeavours to open the Eyes of my Countrymen, and spirit up some able Minister to undertake the arduous Task before it be too late---before the dreadful Mandate issues, that bids Britains cut their best Friends Throats.
I own there are some Points I wish to see properly settled between the two Kingdoms; I mean the Affairs of the Manilla Ransom and Antigallican Privateer; and I am confident, were they properly discussed by able Persons, the generous Spaniards would not refuse a Recompence for such Injuries as were made appear to serve it. But we are not to suppose that their Sense of Insult, of proper National Pride is less than our own, nor that a haughty Demand of categorical Answers are the Way to win their Friendship, nor command their Justice. It is by a reasonable and not a capricious, Behaviour we are to expect the desired Event. Their Honor is as dear to them as ours to us; and they have yet here an Ambassador of Parts equal to the Task I recommend of rendering happy in mutual Friendship two powerful, rich, and brave Kingdoms, equalled by few, and surpassed by none on Earth; in which may he have the Assistance of good Men, as he has the good Wishes, and shall always have the best Endeavours of,
A FRIEND TO BOTH KINGDOMS.
Kilkenny, Nov. 7. Our letters from the county of Tipperary informs us, that the White Boys have again made their appearance in that county. On Wednesday night last, a party of miscreants armed, supposed to amount to 300 or upwards, all mounted, went to the house of Mr. James Fannin, in the suburbs of Carrickon Suir, whom they took out of his bed, and being an old infirm man, they threw him across an horse, naked as he was, and carried him to the Fair-Green of that town, whipping him all the way; they then with savage cruelty threw him into the river several times, and hauled him out immediately. After which they perambulated the whole town, firing several shots as they went; and brought the unhappy man four miles from the town, repeating their barbarity all the way, of which cruel treatment he died next day. We hear that the only reason alledged for this inhuman murder is, that the deceased had agreed to give 3d. per tail for the tythe-potatoes of the Deer-Park of Carrick more than the Welders.
L O N D O N, Nov. 27.
IT was yesterday reported that Lord B-n, was shot in a duel.
Another account says, a duel was (Sunday) intended to be fought between Lord B-g-n and H-d, but was prevented by a message sent to the parties expressly from K-g; the grounds of the quarrel arose from a speech in the House on Wednesday last, when the G-l charged the noble Lord with heaving some very illiberal reflections on the military, by declaring there was no man living capable of executing the office of Commander in Chief.
The Czarina has 760,000 troops in her service, 450,000 of which number are in actual pay, the remaining 310,000 being freebooters.
A Remonstrance against the public grievances, will certainly come from Ireland.

CHARLESTOWN, (South-Carolina, Jan. 21)
On the 14th of last month fourteen transports arrived at Porto Rico, having two regiments on board, which with the troops on that island only, amount to five regiments.
About five weeks ago, a vessel arrived express from Old Spain at the Havanna, with orders for putting all parts of the Spanish West-Indies in the best state possible to resist every attack, in consequence of which they have ever since been at work night and day. All the inhabitants of Cuba, who reside near the coast, have, by orders from the Governor, removed with their effects into the interior parts of the island.
The merchants of this place have wrote a letter of thanks, (signed by upwards of seventy) to Mark Robinson, Esq; Commander of his Majesty's ship Fowey on this Station, for his constant care of the trade and navigation of the Province during his command here; and have also presented him with a piece of Plate of £.90 sterling value; likewise a Sword to his Lieutenant, Mr. George Robertson, with their thanks for his care while on the station.
N E W - H A V E N, February 8.
Last Week, the well known Richard Steel, was again committed to Hartford Goal. He had about Forty pounds in Cash, and a considerable Quantity of Goldsmith's Ware, and other Articles, which he had lately collected in his Way of Business.
Last Monday one of the Tender's people received ten Lashes, for stealing a Sheep. This is the first person, in this Town, who has received Benefit by the new Law for the punishment of Theft.
Last Saturday Eliphalet Nichols, of Chatham, was drowned, skating on the Ice.
The following Instance of Industry is doubtless worth noticing, and which we are credibly informed is True, v. z. There is a Boy about 9 Years old, now living in New London, (whose parents are somewhat needy) who cards and spins 25 knots of Yarn per Day, and has continued to spin near the same Quantity a Day for about Two Years past.
Feb. 15. Last Saturday morning came on a storm of Snow and hail, which soon changed to rain, and the wind veering to the S. E. brought into the Harbour the fullest tide ever known, which ebb'd and flow'd two or three feet in a few minutes; and at the time it was expected to be low water, the tide was above high water mark. Great quantities of Lumber were floated from the wharves, and a great deal of Sugar, Salt, &c. destroyed. A Brig and two Sloops were drove ashore in the harbour, but will be got off without much expence.
On Tuesday evening Mrs. Rhoda Lee, wife of Jared Lee, of Farmington, sitting up some time after the rest of the family were in bed, was found fallen into the fire, and her cloaths and even flesh encircled in the flames, exhibiting a most amazing spectacle to her consort, who being wak'd by the unusual light and noise of the fire, was the first who saw the affecting sight; it seems most probable upon considering all the circumstances, that having prepared to go to bed, undressed herself in part, buried up the fire, carefully set the chairs back, &c. she was seized with some fit as she was rising from her seat to go to bed, and fell forward upon a quantity of hot coals, and there lay without any considerable struggle, as her shoes which were only slip'd on, were found on her feet, which seems to indicate that she died instantly.
H A L I F A X, January 29.
We hear from Truro in this Province, that a few Days ago, Mr. John Archibald, his Wife and Child were crossing a small River on Horse-back (the River being froze over) the Ice broke in, by which Accident they were all carried down the River about 20 Rods, the Man and Woman by the Help of some Persons who came to their Relief were taken out almost drowned, but the Child has not been heard of since.
Mr. James Cochran of Horton, attempting to cross Caspero Bridge, broke one of his Legs, and a few Days after expired.
A N N A P O L I S, Maryland, Jan. 24.
Yesterday Morris M'Coy and Negro Daniel were executed on the Gallows near this City, pursuant to their Sentence: M'Coy's Body was from thence conveyed to a Place near which his Master was murdered, and there hung in Chains, on a Gibbet erected for that Purpose, in sight of the Road leading to the lower Ferry on Patapsco River.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, Jan. 31.
Last Friday se'night, in the Afternoon, one Rau, a poor labouring Man, going on some Business to Kensington, was met by two Men in a bye Road, who enquired, where he was going, his Business, and insisted that he had money about him; upon his telling them he was a poor Man, and had no Money, they searched him, and not find-
ing any, one of the Fellows said he would mark him, and attempted to cut his Throat, but luckily missed the Windpipe; he then cut him across the Belly in two Places, (through one of which his Entrails might have been) and left him; in which Condition he lay till next Day, when he was found by his Wife, who went in search of him, and carried him home, where he now lies dangerously ill.
N E W - Y O R K, Feb. 7
A few days ago we hear that the number of Poor maintain'd in the Work-house in this City, amounted to 339 Persons, besides a considerable number of poor and families supported or assisted at their own several places of residence in this City.
On the 21st ult. 4 young Men, riding on Hempstead Plains on Long-Island, in order to try the Speed of their Horses in a Frolick set out on a Race, when one of them, named Whiston, attempting to stop his Horse too suddenly fell, and falling on the young Man, whose Skull was likewise fractured by the Fall, he immediately died.
Under New-York Head, was lately inserted an Account of the Death of Lieut. Robert Waddell, of the 26th Regiment: Which Account proves a mere Fiction intended as an Imposition on the Printer and the Public: The said Mr. Waddell being still living.
Capt. Bryson arrived at New-York from Madeira, on the 8th of January, in Lat. 27. 15. saw a Sloop with a white Bottom and bright Sides, standing to the Southward under Jury Masts.
N E W - Y O R K, Feb. 14
Major Butler of the 29th regiment, was lately married at Charlestown, South Carolina, to Miss Middleton, daughter of Col. Middleton.
A letter from Charlestown, South Carolina, of the 24th of January, from a person lately from Port au Prince, advises, that at Port au Prince, there was the greatest apprehension of war, a frigate just arrived from France, reported, that war was proclaimed both in France and Spain, against England, where 40 tenders were constantly employed in pressing of men, that the Spaniards made prizes of all the English vessels they could take; and that in consequence of these advices, they were using the utmost diligence in repairing the fortifications, mounting guns in the forts, and were loading all vessels with guns and other military stores, to send to the out ports.
Capt. Alkey in 35 days from St. Eustatia, informs that two days before he left that place, arrived a Brig and a Schooner from New England, and a Sloop from New-York, they had all been in bad weather, the Brig and Schooner had lost their foremast, and the Sloop her bowsprit. The Sloop brought in a molatto man whom he took from the wreck of a vessel foundered at sea, one of the other vessels also brought in the Captain and a foremast man whom they took from the wreck of another foundered vessel, and were all that were saved from these two vessels, a third vessel shared the same fate, & every soul perished. These three foundered vessels belonged to New-England, but their names not remembered.
It was reported at Eustatia, that 14 or 15 sail of French and Spanish vessels, with forces on board, were lying at Porto Rico, where they seemed to expect an attack from the English, were preparing for defence, and had taken measures for evacuating the town on the approach of the English.
We further learn that an English Schooner had arrived at Statia, the Master of which informed, that near that place he was brought to and robb'd by a Spanish armed vessel; that the Spaniards stripp'd and bound the Crew, telling them that War was declared, and after whipping them severely, suffered the vessel to proceed on her voyage.
The accounts from Lisbon agree, that the Portuguese are determined to remain neuter, if possible, in case of a rupture between England and Spain.
Capt. Martin arrived at Philadelphia, from Lisbon, in Lat. 23. 45. Long. 67. 30. spoke a Schooner from Dominica for Boston, 14 Days out, all well.
The storm on Friday night last, which did great damage to the Wharves, Docks, and small Craft, as well as to Goods in the Cellars, which were over-flowed, was succeed by hard gales of northerly winds, which has continued almost incessantly ever since, with the severest cold we have had this winter.
N E W - P O R T, February 18.
Wednesday the 5th Inst. the Person who rode with the Western Mail, (Mr. Mumford being sick) on his Journey in Stonington, Connecticut, while he stopped to deliver some Articles, being, but a few Minutes in the House, had his Bags pillaged by an Indian Fellow, of 120 Dollars in Cash, and one Bottle of Snuff. The Indian has since been taken, and about 44 Dollars found with him, together with some Shop Goods.
The Sloop Hope, Henry Grinnell, Master, arrived here last Tuesday from St. Eustatia, which Place he left the 21st of last Month. Mr. George Sears, the Supercargo, informs, that by Accounts daily received at Statia, from Martinico and Guadalupe, there were at least 100 Privateers at the different Ports in those Islands, the greater Part of which were manned, ready to put to Sea immediately upon the Declaration of WAR.
Several Vessels arrived here from the West-Indies bring Advice that the Spaniards and French continue to make great preparations for War.
B O S T O N, February 25.
The Gibraltar Man of War has failed for South-Carolina. Some Days ago was brought to this Market and sold by Mr. Joseph Vose of Milton, an extraordinary fat Sheep raised by Capt. John Pierce of Dighton, which weighed thirty Pounds a Quarter, the Tallow weighed twenty-two Pounds, and judged by all who saw it to be the fattest that ever was brought to this Market, or any other. Mr. Vose now has by him 20 Sheep, which will each weigh Twenty Pounds a Quarter.
When shall it be said such was sold in Portsmouth Market? Last Friday Afternoon two Women attempting to cross the Ice from the South Part of the Town to Dorchester Neck, on their Way to the Castle, they both fell in, but being seen from the Shore some Persons ventured off and took them out again, tho' of them, said to be the Wife of Serjeant Mills, of the 14th
Regiment, was so chill'd with the Cold that she expired immediately after.
Wilmington, February 8, 1771.
Last Wednesday died in this Place a pious Matron, the Widow Sarah Jaquith, in the 90th year of her Age: She had been waiting in Faith and Patience many years for the Important Hour, which at last came suddenly. She had been the Mother of sixteen Children, ten of which she left living, viz. five Sons and five Daughters, all in married Life and comfortable Circumstances, and 68 Grand-Children, 166 Great-Grand-Children, and 4 Great-Great-Grand-Children. In all 248 living Offspring.---"The Generation of the upright shall be blessed."
L O N D O N, December 12.
The Swallow Sloop of war, which is now fitting out at Portsmouth with the greatest expedition, is supposed to be intended for Jamaica, as an additional security to that island, there being at present on that station only one ship of war.
A Man is just arrived from Egypt, who makes nothing of swallowing an Ox, or any thing else of equal bulk, and swears that if any one doubts of it, he will make the first experiment upon him the unbeliever. He is to all appearance of the common size; but to his abilities in this way, we leave that to the inspection of the curious.
The terms, it is said, Lord Mansfield is to retire on, are these: His Lordship is to have a pension of 3000l. per annum, with a proviso of his attendance at council, and private levees.
It is said that orders have been given to the pursuivants of Arms, at the Herald's Office, not for any of them to be out of town but to be within an hour's warning.
Mr. Guthrie, in his new Geographical Grammar, speaking of the revenues and military strength of Spain, says, the revenues arising to the King from Old Spain yearly amount to five millions sterling, though some say eight, and they form the surest support of his government. His American income, it is true, is immense, but it is generally in a manner embezzled, or anticipated, before it arrives in Old Spain: The King has a fifth of all the silver mines that are worked, tho' little of it comes into his coffers. He falls upon means, however, in case of a war, or any public emergency, to sequester into his own hands great part of the American treasures belonging to his subjects, who never complain, because they are always punctually repaid with interest. The finances of his present Catholic Majesty are in excellent order, and on a better footing, both for himself and his people, than those of any of his predecessors.---As to the taxes from whence the internal revenues arise, they are various, arbitrary, and so much suited to convenience, that we cannot fix them at any certainty:---They fall upon all kinds of goods, houses, lands, timber, and provisions; the Clergy and Military Orders are likewise taxed.---The land forces of the Crown of Spain in time of peace, are never fewer than 40,000; but in case of a war, they amount, without prejudice to the kingdom, to 96,000. The greatest dependance of the King, however, is upon his Walloon or foreign Guards. His present Catholic Majesty has been at great care and expence to raise a powerful marine, and his fleet in Europe and America, at present, exceed fifty ships of the line."
The Grand Signior has signified to the Court of Petersburg his utter contempt of any thing they have yet done; and that as his armies are as numerous as the stars in the firmament, so he is determined to maintain the dignity of the Crescent to the last extremity. In regard to the Russian Fleet, he swears most bloodily (in case of their appearance before Constantinople) that he will instantly display the Standard of Mahomet, and invoke the Holy Prophet to rain down on their prophane heads a shower of Fire that shall reduce 'em to ashes. The Empress on the other hand, who can swear at least as well as himself, declares if she says a word more she will herself in propria persona have a conference with his imperious Majesty, in which it is probable his Highness might have no cause to brag of his Prowess.
By accounts just received from Paris, we learn that the wild Beast entered a street on the 20th of last Month, and not being able to proceed quietly by reason of the great concourse of people and carriages constantly assembled, he immediately made his way through them all, and overset about a hundred coaches; in one of which was the Dauphiness, and who is so ill with the fright (tho' fortunately not much hurt) that all the endeavours of the Royal Family can hardly afford her Highness the least consolation; Since his last appearance, he has already destroyed 3 churches, several meeting houses, and monastery, in which were many young Ladies of the first distinction. Several parties of horse have been sent out to watch his motions, and, if possible, to bring him to justice. The worst of it is, his being Bullet-proof, which say they renders all their endeavours of no avail.
From the ESSEX GAZETTE.
Mr. HALL,
The 5th of Nov. has long been
observed in the principal towns and cities in the British dominions, to perpetuate the horrid Powder Plot, a diabolical scheme devised by the papists to blow up the King and parliament, and we in America, like true sons of Britain, haters of popery, & firm friends to the protestant religion and liberty, have annually joined with our brethren in Great Britain in commemorating the Popish Plot, & in bearing testimony against those sons of Belial, who aimed at the destruction of our religion and liberty.---But a far more memorable day, now calls for commemoration! a day of blood and slaughter! a day wherein five Americans were inhumanly murdered by the tools of tyrants---Tyrants, who after the example of the first Popish plotters, formed a plan to blow up all the liberties of the Americans.---Surely if the 5th of November was worthy to be remembered 150 years the 5th of March should be commemorated so long as America has a name. Therefore it is proposed, that the 5th of November be disregarded for the future, and the 5th of March observed in its stead forever.... as a warning to all generations to come, to guard against the fatal effects of standing armies---to keep up a spirit of liberty, which is so essential to human happiness, and to impress the minds of men with the necessity of watching against Tyranny, (as all human governments have a natural tendency that way,) and to fill the minds of all ranks of people with the utmost abhorrence and detestation of those sordid Sons of Adam, who would enslave their fellow men.
A genuine Son of Liberty.

PORTSMOUTH, March 1, 1771.
We hear from Falmouth, Casco-Bay, that on the 9th last Month, Capt. John Harmon of Old York, was cast away below that Town, and lost Vessel, Cargo, and one of his Men, named Wm. Hilton. Where the Vessel was from don't learn.
Tuesday Evening began and continued all Night and part of next Day, a violent N. E. Storm, which it's much fear'd has proved fatal to such Vessels as were upon this Coast, but hear of none yet. No extraordinary Damage was done in Town.
The Great Bridge at Greenland was carried away in the above Storm, and no doubt many more farther in the Country.
The Eastern Post not come in at the striking off this Paper, so have no Accounts of any Damage from that Quarter.
The Post from Boston did not arrive till Wednesday Night, being detained several Hours at Newbury Ferry; By him we have News Papers from all the Colonies, at the striking off of which in the different Places, no Ship from London was arrived, so that we are yet kept in suspence with regard to War, but all the Vessels from the West-Indies arrived at the different Ports between this and South-Carolina agree that the greatest Preparations are making by all Parties, and some say, WAR is certainly declared, but this wants confirmation.
Some of our Advertising Customers are intreated to send their Advertisements more correct, or an Interpreter with them.
Those Customers for this Paper, whose Accounts are of long standing, but not sufficient for Court Writs, may depend on being sued before some Justice in Portsmouth, unless immediately paid.
At York April Court, those at the Eastward indebted for many Years Papers, will if possible be brought to a proper Sense of their Duty, unless this last Hint routes them.
