About a Fortnight ago a Packet arrived from England at Cockspur, after a Passage, it is said, of 9 Weeks. She has brought out the new American Restraining Act ... We hear that there is a Mail for this Province on board the Packet, and that there is some Reason to expect it will be sent ashore.
It is said that Capt. Barclay, of the Scarborough, has taken all the Rice (about 1600 Barrels) out of the Merchantmen, carried down to Cockspur, and put it on board two Transports, with which he is immediately proceeding to Boston.
