The Account given in the last Boston Paper of the Riots and Robberies committed in the Province of the Massachusetts Bay, by Hermanus Schuyler, and Robert Van Rensselaer, assisted by a Number of the King's Troops, is very alarming. As it cannot be supposed that General Gage would lend the Forces under his Command to such daring and abandoned Persons, to assist them in driving away his Majesty's peaceable Subjects from their Habitations, in destroying Houses, in robbing and thieving; so it cannot be doubted but he will deliver up the Offenders, upon the first Requirement of the civil Authority.
