The Ship James, Capt Watson, from Glasgow arrived at N. York the second Inst being the day after the time limited by Congress. Great pains were taken by the Tories & Crown Officers to land her goods. The People rose twice, the Tories from 2 to 4 hundred, the Whigs from four to five Thousand ー the ship was sent off by the Comittee ー the Man o' War stopt her ー the p[eo]ple asembled a second time and visited the Capt of the Man o' War, the King Fisher, and demanded his reason and authority for stopping the vessel ー he dismissed the Vessel, and on the 12th Inst (after ten days contest) that ship sailed from N York, "for Jamaica, without ever entering at the Customhouse, or discharging one single package. She was attended to Sandy Hook by a No of Gentn from our Comittee, who waited at the Hook, till they lost sight of her. ー Every artifice has been used &c a variety of Manouvres put in practice, by a sett of Ministerial hirelings, in order to get the Cargo of the above ship landed".² This is a great defeat, and shows that the disposition of the body of the p[eo]ple, with respect to the public Cause of Liberty, Another Ship is expected there from Europe; the owners of which have given orders at the Hook that she shall not come up, but go off from this Continent.
