Boston, July 4. Wednesday last being the anniversary for
the election of councellors, agreeable to the royal charter,
his honour in obedience to the mandate of minister of state,
appointed the general-court to convene at Cambridge, where
the express letter of the law ordains the election to be
made in Boston, being the most proper, convenient, as well
as ancient, seat of government in the Massachusetts-Bay.--
The morning was ushered in with music parading the streets .
. . the Rev. Mr. Samuel Mather, the worthy descendant of the
excellent doctors Increase and Cotton Mather, and legitimate
heir to their political as well as religious principles,
opened the solemnity. . . . Public worship concluded with an
anthem admirably performed by a select company procured for
that purpose.
