CAPTAIN CLEVELAND: Mr. Keys this moment brought us the news that the men-of-war and troops began to fire upon the people last night at sunset at Boston, when a post was immediately sent off to inform the country. He informs, that the artillery played all night; that the people were universally rallying from Boston as far as here, and desire all the assistance possible. The first was occasioned by the country's being robbed, of their powder from Boston as far as Farmingham, and when found out, the persons who went to take them were immediately fired upon; six of our number were killed the first shot, and a number wounded, and beg yon will rally all the forces you can, and be upon the march immediately for the relief of Boston, and the people that way.
