NEW-PORT. Aug. 8.
We are assured that Capt. William Bull in a Sloop from this Place, but last from the West-Indies, is arrived at Wilmington, North-Carolina, and that the Inhabitants of that Place have bought his Vessel, and are loading her with Provisions for the Support of the Town of Boston; which ought to be supported at the Expence of the last Mite, and even the last Drop of Blood in North-America, for their noble Stand against the Oppression and Tyranny of a miserably corrupt, debauched and almost bankrupt Administration, devoid of Sense, Humanity, and every Principle superior to that of mere Brutes; an Administration, compared with whom, a common Highway Robber is almost a Saint.
