The Convention being informed that lord Dunmore was meditating an hostile march, with an armed force, to attack the city of Williamsburg;

Resolved, That the committee for the said city, and the committees of York and James City, be desired to pay particular attention to the subject; and if lord Dunmore or any other person, shall land, or attempt to land, any armed troops in their neighbourhood, that they immediately request the assistance of the volunteer companies now in that city to repeal such troops by force; and, if need be, to call in the assistance of the volunteer companies, or militia, for effecting that purpose.
