The Parliament, it is said, will not sit to do business until November, when the duties on paper, glass, and painters colours, will be taken off; but it was thought that the duties on tea would remain, and no other act be repealed. Besides the copies of Governor Bernard's letters come over, by Captain Scott, we hear there are also come over, by the same opportunity, copies of letters from General Gage, Commodore Hood, Colonel Dalrymple, Commodore Smith, Collector Harrison, and Comptroller Holloway; likewise copies of several memorials transmitted home by the Hon. the Commissioners of the Customs. The whole if printed, it is said, will make 100 pages in folio.
