Arrived at Boston on Wednesday, schooner
Cushing, Brewer, 4 days from Passamaqiiod

there on Thursdy afternoon about 4 o'clock
landed a company of marines and 2 pieces of
artillery 011. Moose Island, where they arc
erecting a battery. On the night the YVasn
arrived no less than 14 boats laden with
flour, were captured by her launch, in en
deavouring to cross over to the HritUh lines
where a brig of 15, and a scho menof 1 6 Runs'
lay . ready to receive ft ; and whose decks were
seen covered with flour evrry day. Utr
launch inan excursion upthe r.vcr, was 0.
fcled tofcurnajjain for assistance, in con
equencfc orihe numbers pacing over. A
centioel was placed at, the door of everv
atore containing provisions &t. and has two
dollar, per day-. C-puin Brewer sailed from
Philadelphia (armed) underahe orders of
BovernmeBt. While laying at Passama
quoddy he took possession of a boat with five
barrels of flour onboard, but Jiberated the
boat and the men belonging To her. The
s.i . uay me o wner or t he boat came on board,
and demanded what authority he had to take
lm flour, and having been satufied on that
point, he departed. Bm not withstanding all
these precautions, it will be found almos
mpossible to prevent boats escaping over to
the British lines with flour.

ana couia not injure our enemy. All men
of reflection must perceive in one moment,
that if starvation is to be the lot of those who
are under he sway of Great-Britain, the
fault is not in us but in the British govern
ment. .It is in the power of his Britannic
majesty to relieve his people instantaneously.
He has nothing to do but toy, Ut strict justice
be done ia the Americans t and, behold his co
lonies will be plentifully supplied. If the
subject of the British monarchy are to be
starved, it will not be the American govern
ment but the British king that will starve
them. If George the third chooses to starve
the English, or if the English choose to be
starved by George the third, that is their own
look out We should be wiseacres, indeed,
to feed those who when well fed commit all
th.n i nrt fu,in .l -. ?
...... w uuugSo upun us. i nc truth is.
the British begin to see it : and what is worse
for them, if they were to go to war with us
to-morrow, they could not mend the matter
