{"value"=>"Congress is proceeding slowly but with great unanimity; at present their transactions are secret, but will probably be published within a fortnight; rumor that Boston had been cannonaded proved unfounded, taking its rise from attempt of the Generals to seize some provincial powder; reported that 50 000 men took up arms in Massachusetts and Connecticut, to oppose them, and that 30 000 were on the march to Boston but quietly returned, on hearing that all was peace at that place; Massachusetts is supported by all the colonies in her opposition to the change in her charter; Congress has approved the Suffolk resolves; the ill-judged measures of the ministry are sure to meet with full and steady opposition."}
