Friday night last [May 19] Capt. Reynolds arrived here from Portsmouth, in New Hampshire: On Monday the 15th instant, off Cape Anne, he was boarded by Capt Greeves, in a tender, who had come out of Boston the day before, and informed him that three transports arrived there the 6th instant from England, with troops, and that many more were hourly expected; that several vessels were then in sigt, which he imagined was part of the fleet, and several guns had been heard in the offing.
Yesterday Dr. Myles Cooper, President of the College of this City, sailed for Bristol in the Exeter, having remained for near two weeks before, on board the King Fisher, commanded by Capt. [James] Montagu, where he thought fit to shelter himself from the resentment of a people, who consider him as the writer of several pieces highly injurious to the liberties of America. ー The Rev. Dr. Chandler, and the Rev. Mr. Cook, go passengers with him.
