Capt. Hallowell, who, among the rest, re-
paired on board the Romney, died yesterday
set off for London, in Capt. Brett. and may
content himself never to return again, Capt.
Brattle, who was of the committee, upon MIR.
Hallowelfs telling him that he intended to
come on shore on particular day said you had
better not then, nor at all, for whenever you do
you may expect certain fearful looking for
OF judgement and frey indignation to devour
you; you must be content, as the children OF
Israel were of old to behold the pleasant land
a far Oft. The commissioners and their under
lings, l conclude, intend to behold it ut Il dis
lance, or not at all, for they have not appeared
i'll town since. The Governor has received a
letter from the Earl of Hillsborough, the
American Secretary, in answer to his referred
to by the number, acquanting him that his
majesty is much displeased with the last
House of Representatives for sending circu-
lar letter to the Houses of Representatives
and Burgesses of the other Governments as
being inflammatory, and tending to excite Sc
dltion, and that it is his majestys requisition
that this House OF Representatives disavow
that providing, the House have the ex-
tract of the letter now before Them with IL
message from the Governor in which he i'll
forms them that important will be the cons
quences of their determination upon this requi.
sltlon- must here observe the reason Of this
requlsltlon is, 1t was represented to Lord
HIllsbor0ugh that at tile beginning of the SEES
sion in which the circular letter was written
and when the House was full, it was tried, and
passed in the negative but at the latter end
of the session, in a thin house, it was again
tried, and passed in the affirmative which
representation is fully and clearly contradicted
by the j urnals OF the House, as is also the
charge of the circular letter being ipfamma-
tory, and tending to excite sedition. L heard
it this day read out OF the journals by the
Clerk, and as tar as | can judge there is not
an eXceptionable sentence in it. However,
the House, this forenoon, have appointed a
very good committee to consider his Excellen-
cy's message and report. This much TOR
poiticks.
1t gives me great pleasure to understand
that my friends at Leicester, in general, enjoy
good state of health and particularly that
Mrs. Newhall has been better for a week past
to all whom make my regards acceptable, to
Rev. Sir in particular, and inform him how
ever good my opinion has been OF Brmfield, |
have changed it. | can't better conclude than
with wishing my country happiness and pros
may be confirmed and transmitted to the latest
posterlty, this must increase your felicity
which will in no small degree add to your
humble servants, ANONYMOUS.

Cousin William Il resume my pen CON
GLIDING that it will not be disagreea5le to you
The committee to consider OF his excellency's
message, reported to the House that they
should be glad of a copy of the whole OF Lord
Hillsboroughs letter. OF the governors letters
upon which Lord Hillsborough wrote of a let
ter from the said Lord, which he permitted the
secretary to read to the board, and also of his
instructions; in consequence of which the
House appointed a committee to wait upon
his eXcellency for that purpose. The latter
part OF their request he complied with in a
message by the secretary on Friday last, which
was another part OF Hsboroughs letter,
wherein he is instructed to Dissolve the House
unless they comply with the requisiton and
he informs them if they oblge him to dissolve
them, he shall not take it upon him to call
another House without his majesty's special
order. We are waiting with earnest eXpecta-
ton for the report OF the committee, and
must say, hope they will never comply with
such requisition but in a direct, proper
manner, state the facts and discover the gross
misrepresentation we labor under and that
the circular letter was not the effect of d des
perate faction, las is Hillsborough's express.

for him, bus that it was the voice OF great
majority Of the House. and consequently of

view to divide the colonies, they, at home,
looking upon union very dangerous, and
thinking if they can but crush the Massaclu.

have the appreciation of several representa-.
tive bodies with respect TO our conduct, in
their answers to our circular letter, so that it
is too late for them to treat it with that con.

Others. 1t is said we can't expect much good
from HillSborough. | hear the House have
some thoughts of asking his excellency
tor a recess, that they may consult their
constituents upon this great concern. Wheth-
er they will or not, and if they should,
whether it will be granted or not is uncertain.
My father and mother and the rest OF us have
great dependence upon seeing uncle and aun t,
Mr.. Conklin, yourself, and all our other Lei

i have sent by Mr.. Wheeler an orange, which
you will forward to Mrs. Newhall, and am in
hopes it will prove advantageous to her. To
all friends, present the regards Of your humble
servant, ANONYMOUS.

Cousin William Il Here seems to be a break
in the correspondence, one or more letters are
miSsing.) My last letter partly consisted OF
the relation of an affair between Capt. Wilson
and Mr. William Turner. This may chiefly
consist of an account of an affair of blacker
complexion between the said captain and a
number of negroes belonging to this town
Capt. Wilson, one evening last week, coming
from house at the South End, where he had
drank pentifully, met with several negroes in
