And yesterday morning Capt Hall, in the ship Dartmouth, came
to anchor near the Castle, in about 8 weeks from the same
place, and early this morning came up into the harbour; on
board of whom it is said, are 114 chests of the much talk'd-
of East-India Company's tea, the expected arrival of which
pernicious article has for some time past put all these
northern Colonies in a very great ferment:--And this morning
the following notification was posted up in all parts of the
town, viz.
Friends! Brethren! Countrymen!
That worst of plagues the detestable tea shipped for this
port by the East-India Company, is now arrived in this
harbour, the hour of destruction or manly opposition to the
machinations of tyranny stares you in the face; every friend
to his country, to himself and posterity, is now called upon
to meet at Faneuil-Hall, at nine o'clock, this day, (at
which time the bells will ring ) to make a united and
successful resistance to this last, worst and most
destructive measure of administration.
Boston, Nov. 29, 1773. . .
