Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in London, to his Friend in Boston,---per Capt. Cazneau.
"It gives me great Satisfaction to see and hear that the Merchants in Boston are so firm and resolute, for had they not put a final stop to those Scotch Adventurers, you would have been over-laded with them.---I think they grow enough upon us already; there is no occasion of any more, for I am informed, here that Patrick Smith was rigged out here with a parcel of Goods by a number of Scotch Pedlars. I really feel a great deal more satisfied to see what effectual Measures the Merchants of Boston have taken."
