Boston, August 7, 1769. On Monday last his Excellency
Governor Bernard, left his seat at Roxbury, and went to
Castle William. The next morning about nine o'clock, he
embarked on board his Majesty's ship Rippon. . . [15 lines]
As soon as the Rippon was under sale on Tuesday, the cannon
at the Castle were fired with joy--The Union flagg was
displayed from Liberty-Tree, where it was kept flying 'till
Friday. Colours were also flung out from most of the vessels
in the harbour. And from the tops of the houses in town. The
bells were rang, and cannon fired incessantly 'till sunset.
