Extract of a letter, from Boston, August 9.
The reverend Doctors Byles and Walter have lately made us a visit from the fair regions of Nova-Scotia; and it is said notwithstanding their love of their King, and attachment to the hierarchy of the Church, they wish to live under the old tree of liberty.—No door seems to be open at present; but if the old ordinations should be preferred to the new, or American manufacture, it is probable that a chance may offer.—especially as brother Ogden of Portsmouth says the sheepfold of Episcopacy is extending its limits to the Eastward.
