Whe Postmaster Geueral is here, Justice Voxeraft, C; Ravenscroft, and after some time forced themselves into Captain White's house, whom they also apprehended, the former conveyed to the prison door, wich they fdund shut, and the jailor would by no means give them admission. elniey t= they forced open the doors, set at liberty those who were in upon execution for debt, and also a crew of privateers, who were imprisoned for piracy and murder, made a new keeper, commitied those gentlemen, with many others, to his charge, and that they might be in safe custody, set a guard of mus- keteers to prevent escapes. eleven having secured most of the Church (who were the only persons sought for,) some few who were to the governor in fort, they went to thecouncil house, and there read the false and slanderous declaration, whioh lias contradicted in every paper since published, and backed that with a proclama- tion, that every man should aj in arms, on the greatest penalty. Some ferced to go with them, others they left to choice : either to bear arms HE ed 9-5 Many - for fear bore arms, which the action —those who would not join with them wore sent to the prison.”’ A summons was next dispatched to the eraor, (beaded by “one Wintrepe,’’) who find- ing, from the nuinber of the rebels, that the outbreak was cfa more formidable and general character than he had supposed it to be, reluc- tantly promised to meet the newly made council at the town hall, according to their desire; ‘‘pursuant to which, leaving the com- mand of the fort with Captain Tyemay, the governor, attended by Mr. Mr. Pal- mer. Mr. West, Mr. Graham, and Mr. Lydeat, goes to the town house. At the door the gov- ernor was received into cog f hd Captain Townsend, who very officially led him up to the council chamber, forbidding the ve ted gentlemen to attend him any farther. The governor was no sooner entered, than he was smartly checked and reprimanded by some of his council; and, while be was di itefully treated above, the geatlemen alow arte came with him, had their swords taken from them and were made the rt of the multitude. At length they were commanded up to be the object of the council’s rage and fury. Shrimpton abused Mr. Graham and Mr. West in the grossest manver, and all their mouths Were opened agrinst Mr. Randolph for bein sv influential in condemning their charter — | waking West his deputy, who answered that it was not be but they themselve that destroy - ed the charter, for be only told what they acted. As to the disposal of his office they ought not to be angry thereat, for none was a loser but him:elf.’ ‘They were then told that they must consider themselves prisoners, and the governor was requested io give orders for the surrender of the fort. which he refusing, the mob shortly afler entered stand made Tressey prisoner— Nelson being appointed commaader in his stead. The governor and his council were (hen removed to another place, guarded by a full company of musketoers; he himself was covfined in the house of a person named Usher, Mr. Randolph was immured in the common jail, and the remainder were impric- oned in the fort. Un the succeeding day the Rave frigate was taken in possession by the people, aud the person in command of “the castle,’ (the author's meaning in reference to this is somewhat obsoure,) having refused to deliver it, preparations were made for beseig- ing it, when, to cave the lose of life and property that must follow, the geveracr ,dispatehd i a messenger adwising its surrender, “and Pipon was placed in canfinement with the others. At night the country people came in, neaded bya teacher of Lyun, named Sheperd, who demand- ed the person of the governor, and threatened all manner of oulage—though, when the ob- ject of their fury showed himsolf, no offence was offered. One of the acts of these conspirators—who Seem at first to have acted more like lunatics than human beings—was to withdraw from the couniry the garrisons which the governor had stationed at different points for protecting it, when the Indians, ig no longer the tear of chastisement before their eyes, fell upon the unoflending inhabitants in numbers, and, having sated themselves with massacre, plun- dered und burned the houses, and destroyed the cattle. The rebels also made prisoners of the officers, whom they treated ljke so many malefactors. An atiempt was even made to assassinate the governor, but was defeated. “Mr. White, “Mr Ravenscroft with many others who were locked = because they would not bear arms, and guard the governor, after five or six days unjust imprisonment, without any warrant or color of law, they would have rsuaded to steal, as it were, out of jail, pay- lng only their fees; but they re’ the kindness, and were for standing trial, or else would not go out as publicly as they came in, which at last was granted, after they had been cried about town, to know whe(uer any person had aught against them. Justice Foxcraft, after a long time, was admitied to bail. Jus- tice Bullicant and Lieutenant Colonel Lydeat get out by giving bonds for their appearance. aptain Lresser aud Ensign Pipon were dis- missed by beat of drum; all the rest continued — prisoners, eee tation neartan a4 fessed papists, whom they f took antes convey them sale to their own homes. Only the poor Church of men continue jerers, and eun find nei mercy This affair was immediately owing to the un- popularity of Andross, who as governoz of New ngland, and of the states of New York and New Jersey, which were subsequently placed under his control, had rendered himself ob- by authorized to allow to the postmasier of the city of Washington* in addition to the allow- ance made by this ect, for postage collected and for free letters received ny him for deliv- ery, @ commission of five per cent. on the amvunt of mails distributed at his office: Pro- vided, nevertheless, That the whole annual emolument of the said postmaster, including the extra compensation of eight hundred dol- lars which is hereby ollowed him, shall be subject to the rasitictions imposed by the for- ty-tirst .-clion of this act.

The annexed condensed accounts of the pop- ular troubles in Boston in the time of Governor Andross, which we are not aware of having encountered amongthe reminiscences of Bos- ton, is taken from an olé@ pamphlet written by an eye witness of the proses ing Discon- tented with the prevailing order of things, the citizens of Boston desired a renewal of their ancient charter, whick they determined to have, even at the risk of personal violence. The Indians were made a shield in this instance asin the rormer. Among other of his precau- tionary acts, Governor Andross, (we quote, now the author of the pamphlet,) to prevent the incursions of the Lay, erga tribes, had ‘“‘so covered the country that the Indians were not able to do any considerable mischief to the in- habitants; likewise he blockaded all the rivers, whereby the Indians were prevented from fishing and hunting. Besides all this, he rout- ed them out of their forts and strong-holds, whither they concluded the Englizh would never come, took from them their stores, many bushels of Indian corn, their powder, some pistols and musket barrels, Hay about thirty of their cannons, thereby they were reduced to very great poverty, and forced to the use of by hee and arrows again; so that in a little time they must have tendered themselves to his inerey, or else have perished for Mick of bread aud provisions, for the French, if had the will, yet were not in a position to re- lieve their necessites, being plundered of all | noxious, no lessto the he their stores by the privatecrs, and as necessi- | than he had been to © French, and to a de- tious as the Indians.
