New-York. . . Nov. 21. . . Capt. Hunt, from Charles-Town,
in South-Carolina, informs us, that the ship Britannia,
Capt. Ball, arrived there from London a few days before he
sailed, and that a passenger who came in the vessel had in a
clandestine manner got on board 8 chests of tea, which the
Captain on his arrival made known to the committee, who soon
caused the gentleman to order his India commodity to be
thrown into the sea; that Capt. Moore arrived there from
Philadelphia the 4th of November, with the delegates, from
the congress, who were received by their fellow citizens
with the ringing of bells, &c. and that on the 5th of
November the inhabitants of Charles-Town gave up most of the
tea they had in their houses, to be burnt in one general
bonfire.
