Boston, November 18. Last Saturday arrived Capt. Clark, in
a Brig, from London, which he left the latter end of
August.--
. . . [4 lines follow on other ships arriving with tea.]
on board of whom it is said. are 114 chests of the much-
talk'd of East-India Company's Tea, the expected arrival of
which pernicious article has for some time past put all
these northern colonies in a very great ferment: And this
morning the following notification was posted up in all
parts of town,viz.
Friends ! Brethren ! Countrymen !
That worst of plagues the detestable Tea shipped for this
port by the East India Company, is now arrived in this
harbour, the hour of destruction or manly opposition to the
machinations of tyranny stares you in the face; every friend
to his country, to himself, and posterity, is now 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 to this last, worst and most
destructive measure of administration.
Boston, Nov. 29, 1773.
