Boston, November 22. Wednesday last Capt. Scott arrived
from London, with whom came passenger, Mr. Jonathan Clarke,
appointed one of the East-India factors; and on the evening
of the same day, his brothers and sisters, being on the
joyful occasion of his arrival, collected at his father's
house, in School-Street, in the perfect enjoyment of that
harmony of soul and sentiment, which subsists in a well
united and affectionate family, about 8 o'clock their ears
were suddenly assailed by a violent knocking at the door,
and at the same instant a tremendous sound of horns,
whistles, and other noises of a multitude; which caused, in
those of a tender sex a distress that is more readily
conceived that described.
