THE Ship Planter's Adventure, Capt. Miles Cowley, this Morning arrived with the Stamps for the Government: The People here have followed your Example at the Northward, by showing their Dislike to it, and exhibiting the St--p M--t--r the D--d L--b--r--t--y B--d--y in the high Street; but they have not as yet committed any Outrages or gone to any Extremes as your News-Letters tells us have been transacted to the Northward; but as the Evening is near at Hand, and the Populace, or rather Mob, begins to appear,--I am afraid the Night will end with a great deal of Mischief.
