Non-importation clash and Rome prophecy tale
Letters from New York recount debates on a general non importation across provinces, with Southisterns insisting on coarse goods and Maryland and Massachusetts seeking fishing tables. The New York mail notes Boston and Salem mechanics refusing barracks work for General Gage, while a ship from Malaga reports harbor tides and a Dutch report echoes the event. A series of ecclesiastical and civic notices follow including appointments, marriages, and deaths. A strange Rome tale concerns a prophetess and the pope.
