We have seen an account of the loss of the enemy, said to have come from an Officer of one of the Men-of-War; by which it appears that sixty-three of the Regulars, and forty-nine Marines were killed, and one hundred and three of both wounded: in all, two hundred and fifteen. Lieutenant Gould of the Fourth Regiment, who is wounded, and Lieutenant Potter of the Marines, and about twelve soldiers, are prisoners.

Mr. James Howard and one of the Regulars discharged their pieces at the same instant, and each killed the other.

Our brethren of Danvers who fell fighting for their Country, were interred, with great solemnity and respect, on Friday last.

The publick most sincerely sympathize with the friends and relations of our deceased brethren, who gloriously sacrificed their lives in fighting for the liberties of their Country. By their noble and intrepid conduct, in helping to defeat the forces of an ungrateful tyrant, they have endeared their memories to the present generation, who will transmit their names to posterity with the highest honour.

JAMES SULLIVAN TO JOSEPH WARREN.

Exeter, New-Hampshire, April 25, 1775.

SIR: I have this day endeavoured to execute my embassy to this Province with the greatest faithfulness. There seems some opposition here to the assistance we have expected from this quarter, but doubtless the despatches you receive with this will inform you of the determination of this Congress respecting the matter. My being a Committee from the Congress of Massachusetts-Bay, has procured me great respect here, which has been shown by them as a body of individuals. I doubt not but there will be the same politeness shown by you towards their missionaries to our Congress,

I am, dear Sir, &c., &.c.

JAMES SULLIVAN.

To Joseph Warren, Esq., President of the Massachusetts Congress.

INSTRUCTIONS OF THE INHABITANTS OF WILLIAMSTOWN, MASS., TO SAMUEL KELLOGG.

At a meeting of the Inhabitants of the Town of Williamstowm, on the 25th day of April, A. D., 1775, the Selectmen being Moderators of the meeting, and Ensign Samuel Kellogg was unanimously chosen a Delegate to represent this Town in Provincial Congress; and the sense of the Town was communicated to him, for his instruction, as follows, viz:

That it is the sense of this Town, that we are at all times ready, as far as our circumstances will allow, to join in the common cause of American liberty, and to assist with our lives and fortunes, as occasion may require, to maintain our rights and liberties against all the hostile attempts to deprive us of our rights and liberties, made by the cruel and oppressive Acts of the British Parliament; and are always ready to bear our proportion to defend our countrymen, and to assist in repelling force by force, in such manner as the collective wisdom of the Province, in Provincial Congress convened, shall judge most expedient.

The Town Clerk being absent, the meeting ordered the Selectmen to sign in behalf of the Town.

COLONEL JOHN WENTWORTH TO THE NEW-HAMPSHIRE CONGRESS.

Somersworth, April.25, 1775, Tuesday, 6 o’clock.

GENTLEMEN: My health is such it is impracticable for me to be at Exeter this day; I was very ill able to attend last week. Hope you will agree on some method to prevent the Soldiers being mustered on every false alarm; otherwise we shall soon be distressed for the want of provisions. It was surprising to see the number that collected when I came from Exeter, at Newmarket, Durham, Dover, Somersworth, &c, some of whom came to Dover, twenty miles or more. You must know the consequence, if not prevented.

I heartily wish the Divine direction and blessing may attend your consultations and determinations; and after assuring you I am heartily engaged in the same cause with you, am your sincere friend and most obedient and humble servant,

JOHN WENTWORTH.

To the Gentlemen of the Congress convened at Exeter.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A MERCHANT IN LONDON, TO HIS FRIEND IN VIRGINIA, DATED APRIL 26, 1775.

We have petitioned the King, Lords, and Commons, on behalf of the Colonies, which has produced a promise to repeal the Tea Act, Boston Port Bill, and those of this Session of Parliament for restraining the Fishery and Trade of some of the Colonies, to Great Britain, Ireland, and the West-India Islands, provided your Assemblies will raise a Revenue, in their own mode, towards the support of Government, and to pay part of the interest, amounting to more than three-fourths of the value of all the exports to America, annually, for eleven years, ending at Christmas, 1773, of the heavy debt contracted the last war, which was begun in and carried on for the defence and protection of America. This, it is hoped, will restore harmony between all His Majesty’s subjects on both sides the Atlantick; and that the Resolve to forbear exporting the produce of the industrious Planter, will be expunged and buried in oblivion. If it should be strictly adhered to in the present form, I doubt the beneficial branch of your commerce in tobacco will, in a great measure, be lost to Virginia and Maryland, as that trade will be turned into other channels, and the markets will be plentifully supplied by the Holland, Flanders, German, Russian, and Turkey Merchants, as it grows plentifully in all those countries, and also in Florida, from whence some very good tobacco has been lately imported, so that the revenues will not be diminished, and the revenge intended against Government will terminate in distressing, if not in the ruin, of the Planters and a few Merchants, there being only twenty-two houses in London who regularly send ships to import tobacco from Virginia and Maryland.

Having a little leisure time on my hands, I thought it expedient to lay these facts before you, knowing you can make a proper use of them, for the mutual interest of Great Britain and America. Peace cannot be restored by threats or hostilities, but may be easily obtained by treaty, which I most ardently wish for.
