cutter Morris ten miles east of the outer Geographic
station (twenty miles from Boston), and returning
left Major Rdgley and his command at Fort indie
pendente, and landed Col. Dulany and his force at
the Navy Yard. Thus ended Burns career in
Boston.
The city last evening was orderly, and, for the
first time for many days, Court street and square
were free from crowds II il to be hoped that this
state of affairs may long continue, and that riots Of
all kinds may be postponed without day.
