{"value"=>"Progress of the siege; smart but harmless cannonade by the enemy at every small advance; the troops in Boston are worn down by fatigue, and have had fresh provisions served but once since Lexington; their own men have brought off all the stock from Governor's Island; the people at Marblehead have captured a vessel from New Providence with turtle and other delicacies for Boston; a brigantine from Quebec has been taken, with letters from Gamble to Gen. Gage saying that no aid can be expected from that quarter and that the Canadians are poisoned from New England; the remains of the fort at St. John's River destroyed; Arnold's detachment is advancing in high spirits."}
