The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

Capt. Obrien of this place informs that on Saturday the 6th ult. being in his vessel, in the river St. Johns, in Nova-Scotia, as he approached the town, coming within about half a mile thereof, and shewing his colours, he was saluted a number of times with a loaded six-pound cannon, and afterwards for about 4 hours, with small Arms, and obliged to come to anchor.--That on Monday morning, as he went on shore to enter, they threatened to whip him; and Mr. WHITE, their Naval-Officer, refused him an entry, for insulting the town of PARR with Rebel Colours, and even denied him the liberty of landing a few thousand of boards to lighten his vessel, for his own safety in returning, telling him that it was unsufferable to shew THEM colours there--That every time he landed, he was insulted by stoning and abusive language,--they at the same swearing, that No rebel should ever enter that Port, unless he denied his colours. Capt. Obrien says, that their conduct appeared to be countenanced by the principal men of the town.
