On Tuesday last [December 6] his Majesty's Ship Swan,¹ commanded by Capt. James Ayscough, weighed Anchor for Boston, by Way of the Sound.

We hear that at a Meeting of the General Committee of this City and County, two Sub-Committees were appointed to superintend the Sales of two Cargoes of Goods arrived here since the first Day of December. And that it was the opinion of the Committee, that all Goods, Wares and Merchandize, enumerated in the first Article of the Association of the Continental Congress, should be subject to the Regulations contained in the tenth Article.²

Last Week several Parcels of Goods were sold here agreeable to the Association entered into by the Continental Congress; and many more will be disposed of this Week in the like Manner, as the Lady Gage, Captain [Thomas] Mesnard, that arrived here last Friday Night [December 9] has a tolerable Cargo on board.
