{" We would adj, may the town Of Bottom, |
he capital Of this province, rejoice IN per-
oetual PROPERTY. May wifdom direa he's
in all her combinations. May her ipirited
and prudent conduit, render her terror
TO tyrants. May every town in this pro-
vince, and every colony upon the continent,
be 3 Weakened to fenle OF danger, and unite
in the glorious caufe of liberty. Then
ihall we be able effeGually 10 diiappoint
the Vaccinations of our enemies. Tocon-
clude, that this land may be purged from
thofe fms which are reproach to peo-
pie, and be exalted by righteoufneis that
God almighty may be our God, As he was
the God Of our fathers and that we may
be poieHed of the fame principles of virtue
religion and public fpiTis, which warmed
and animated the hearts OF our renowned
anceftors, is the Gncefe prayer of your
friends in the common caufe of our coun-
try, the committee of the town Of Cam

NEWPORT, Dsesmby Al. y
We hear letter to our governor, from
Admiral Montagu, was read at the General
AiembIy, held at Providence, laft week: In
which letter the Admiral, we are told. re-
quefts his Honour the Governor, that Capt
KeeIer ofhis Majcay's lhip Mercury now in
this harbour, might be permitted to come on
lhore, without being infulted, and protected
from arreRs, &c-.!l Now it 10 certain that
Capt. Keller has often been alhore in this
town and other parts Of the colony, and we
never heard of his having received the leaf
imaginable infult: But as for bis being pro-
teaed from anefis, we are bamby of opini-
on, tina, neither Capt. Keller nor his Excel
lency Admiral Montagu himfelf, has any
more right Of protection from aretts. than
any other the leaf or pooref Of his M.jeRyj
fubjeas-For the truth of which opinion,
we are not afraid to appeal to the PEOPLE
of Great. Britain though We don't chule to
be transported thither for trial.
.SaOy, Whether Capt. Keller will pub
licIy declare thai one Jingle attempt was ever
made to infult him in this town.
= I.af evening arrived the Lizard frigate.
and this morning al armed fchooner, both
