among the bell informed and molt difinterelled men
of influence in feveral counties, there has been no
(mall degree of alarm and anxiety excited by the
prefent conteft ; fo much fo, that from different quar-
ters there were offers to call meetings, and to appeal
to the voice of the people, that they might by petition
prefent their 'Jiffies to the throne on the prefent occa-
lion. Minifters, however, refolved to fet their faces

the reit overboard, or into their boats ; after which
they let her on fire, and completely dellroyed her,
having only oge man wounded in the gallant affirm.
