BOSTON, April 25.
It is said there are Letters from London of March 1st, which mention a change in the Ministry had just happened that is not looked upon as a favorable Omen to America—that our friends and well-wishers were under very great anxiety; as all the offices, from the highest to the lowest, are filled with those who voted and protested against the repeal of the Stamp-Act.—But as no account of this change is mentioned in the public prints of that date, the certainty thereof cannot be determined until the arrival of some later accounts.
