Boston, November 29.  Last Saturday arrived Capt. Clarke, in
a brig, from London, which he left the latter end of
August.--And yesterday morning Capt. Hall, in the Ship
Dartmouth, came to anchor near the castle, in about 8 weeks
from the same place; on board of whom, it is said, are 114
chests of the so much detested East-India Company's tea . .
. 
Friends! Brethren! Countrymen!
That worst of plagues the detested tea, shipped for this
port by the East-India Company, is now arrived in this
harbour . . . 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 . . .
