Boston, November 29.  Last Saturday arrived Captain Clark,
in a brig from London, . . . on board of which, it is said,
are 114 chests of the so much detested East India Company's
Tea, . . . And this morning the following notification was
posted up in all parts of the town, viz.
FRIENDS! BRETHREN! COUNTRYMEN!
That worst of plagues, the detested tea, . . . is now
arrived in this harbour. . . Every friend to his country, .
. . 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.
