Boston, August 3. Tuesday last embarked on board his
Majesty's ship the Rippon, Sir Francis Bernard, of
Nettleham, Bart. who for nine years past, has been a scourge
to this province, a curse to North-America, and a plague to
the whole empire. . . [25 more lines] So soon as the Rippon
was under sail 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 the cannon fired incessantly `till sunset. . . [7 more
lines]
