Boston. . .Oct. 13. A private letter from Halifax contains
some particulars relative to the Boston expedition, not
known before, viz. . . [preparation and embarkation in great
haste and secrecy.] -- What a tragi-comic scene is here
presented! and how must it be viewed by European
politicians? -- another letter mentions, that as Halifax
must sink without the support of troops and ship of war,
some of their patriots were about erecting a liberty pole,
and employing some boys to sing the Liberty Song through the
streets, in hopes it may procure the return of those ships
and forces, or a larger number from Britain, in order to
quell such disturbances.
