2 [Lafayette was not personally unknown in Boston; he had been here more than once be- fore. It will be remembered that after the fail- ure of the Rhode Island campaign, in 1778, he had come to Boston to use his per- suasion with the commander of the French fleet not to desert the cause. After York- town, when he hastened to France to carry despatches to the French king, as well as from tenderer impulses, he had come to Boston to embark, reaching here on Dec. 10, 1781. Here he had been enthusias- tically received ; a committee of the town, of which Samuel Adams was chairman, had pre- sented an address to him; and a subscription taking place to rebuild the Charlestown meeting- house, burned during the battle on Bunker Hill, Lafayette had placed his name on the list for twenty-five guineas. The officers of the Massa- chusetts Line also presented an address. Hc sailed, December 23, in the French frigate "I.'Al- liance." It was Aug. 4, 1784, when Lafayette again landed in New York ; and after first visiting Mount Vernon, he began that triumphal progress through the country which evinced the love the people bore for him. As he approached Boston, in October, the officers of the army met him at Watertown ; then in a procession he made his entry over Boston Neck, through throngs of people, while he was conducted to a tavern, where he returned their compliments in a speech from a balcony. In the evening the street lan-
terns were lighted for the first time since the peace. On the nineteenth, the anniversary of Yorktown, Governor Hancock received him formally. Five hundred gentlemen dined with

their guest in Faneuil Hall. Thirteen decorated arches surrounded the room, and Lafayette sat under a huge fleur-de-lis. Thirteen guns in the market-place accompanied as many patriotic toasts. When that one proposing the health of Washington was drunk, a curtain fell and dis- closed a picture of the General, crowned with laurel, and wearing the color of America and France. Lafayette led off the response with " Vive Washington !" In the evening, Madam Haley, a sister of the notorious. John Wilkes (see Vol. II. p. xliv), and a leader of fashion in the town, gave a great party, and there were many illuminations throughout the streets. Some days later, after he had made excursions along the coast, he embarked in the French frigate "La Nymphe," and sailed for Virginia. Magazine of American History, December, 1878. - ED.]

is done in a general assembly of the people.' The Marquis, glad of the opportunity, consented to attend my father. By and by the great bell of the celebrated Doctor Samuel Cooper's church, with a dozen others, BOSTON March 29, 1783. called the inhabitants together. I forget what Laft night Colonel Jolin Trumbull arrived in this town ; and brought with him the following very important the business was, but it inspired universal in- terest, and drew to the hall an overflowing INTELLIGENCE, house. The Marquis was of course well ac- commodated, and sat in silent admiration at viz. the demure manner in which the moderator Philadelphia, 23d March, 1781. Half paft Six o'Clock. was chosen and inducted to the chair, and the meeting fully organized. Then the debate Dear SIR, opened. One speaker affirmed, another de- T EN minutes fince, the Captain of the Hyder Aly came to Mr. Morris's, where I d'ined, with an account of a French packet being arrived at Chefter, in Thirty days from Cadiz, with the news that a nied, a third rejoined; each increasing in vehemence, until the matter in debatė was changed into personal sarcasm. Gibe fol- lowed gibe, commotion ensued, the popular GENERAL PEACE mass rolled to and fro, disorder reached its height, and the elders of the town were glad was figned the Twentieth of January ; and that Hoftilities were to ceafe, on this conf, the 20th of this month. to break up the stormy meeting, and postpone the discussion. My father led the Marquis out Juft now a meffenger arrived from Monficur Vallogne, to the Minifter, with the lame news : and that the Captain of the packet was on the road with the difpatches. in the midst of the angry multitude. When fairly disengaged from the crowd he said to the illustrious stranger : 'This is not the sam- ple which I wished to show you of our mode God bless you } Your's, of deliberating. Never do I recollect to have CARTER. seen such fiery spirits assembled in this hall, - J. Wadfworth, Bfq, and I must beg you not to judge of us by what PEACE EXTRA.1 you have seen to-day ; for good sense, mod- eration, and perfect order are the usual char- acteristics of my fellow-townsmen, here and elsewhere.' 'No doubt, no doubt,' said the Marquis laughing ; 'but it is well enough to know that there are exceptions to the general rule,' or words to that effect, - meaning to make a joke of the matter, which was, indeed, very often afterward the occasion of mirthful remarks upon the forbearance, calmness, decorum, and parliamentary politeness ever to be found in deliberative assemblies of pure democracy." 2
Perhaps, if Mr. Breck had been philosophically disposed, he might have reminded his guest that the town-meeting offered an opportunity for the escape of feeling, and was thus a safety-valve. The newspaper had not yet taken the place of the public assembly as the clearest reflection of the life of the day.
1 [This reduction of the Extra announcing the conclusion of a general peace is made from an original owned by Colonel W. W. Clapp. The general celebration came later. William Bur- beck rendered his bill, Feb. 28, 1784, to the
State for building a stage to exhibit the fire- works for celebrating the peace, amounting to £16 175. 3d. - ED.]

LIFE IN BOSTON IN THE REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD.
SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES BY THE EDITOR.
THE LOYALISTS. - Sabine, in his American Loyalists, estimates that some two thousand ad- herents of the King left Massachusetts. It is also stated that of the three hundred and ten who were banished by the State, over sixty were Harvard graduates. John Adams was inclined to believe that in the Colonies at large not more than two-thirds were against the Crown, and some of the Colonies were about equally divided. " The last contest in the town of Boston, in 1775, between Whig and Tory, was decided by five against two."-Works, x. 63, 87. Without aiming to make it complete, we offer the follow- ing list of such of the Loyalists as may claim, either as inhabitants or by official residence or association, to have some connection with Bos- ton. In making it we have used, besides Sabine, the list of the proscribed in t778, as given in Vol. II. 563; the "list of the inhabi- tants of Boston who on the evacuation by the British removed to Halifax with the army," which is printed in the Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., Dec. 18So, p. 266 (see also Curwen's Journal, p. 485) ; the address to Hutchinson and its signers, June 1, 1774, given in the Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., Feb. 187t, p. 43, and on p. 45, the " Solemn League and Covenant," reported by Warren on the fifth of June, and sent out to the towns as a circular, which occasioned a " pro- test " and a " proclamation " from Gage, likewise printed in the same place.
The names of the " protesters " against the " Soleinn League and Covenant," and of the addressers of Hutchinson in 1774, are printed in Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., Oct. 1870, 1). 392. The signers to the address to Hutchinson in 1774 is also in Curwen's Journal, p. 465. The two volumes marked "Royalists," in the Mass. Ar- chives (vol. i. 1775-84, and ii. 1778-84) have also been examined. They are made up very largely of returns from town committees to the Provincial Congress, respecting suspected per- sons, confiscated estates, with the accounts of the agents of such estates, the doings of the Committee of Sequestration, conveyances of the property, etc. In the first volume, pp. 333 and 338, is the return June 13, 1782, of the Com- mittee on Confiscated Estates in Suffolk County, showing whose estates were settled by an agent of the Province, and to whom the different lots and buildings were sold, and for what sum; the whole amounting to £32,062 Ss. 2d. Numerous papers relating to absentee's estates, 1782-89, are in Mass. Archives, cxxxix. and beginning P. 470, are the bonds of persons "supposed to be royalists." The confiscation acts of Massa-
chusetts are printed in Curwen's Journal, p. 475. and the banishment act of 1778, in Ibid. p. 479. The Journals and Letters of Samuel Curwen give the best account of life among the Loyalists in England, and numerous notices of Loyalists are appended to it, as edited by George A. Ward, Boston, 1864. A New England club of Loyalists was formed in London in 1776, consisting of the following : - Thomas Hutchinson, Richard Clark, Joseph Green, Jonathan Bliss, Jonathan Sewall, Joseph Waldo, S. S. Blowers, Elisha Hutchinson, William Hutchinson, Samuel Sew- all, Samuel Quincy, Isaac Smith, Harrison Gray, David Greene, Jonathan Clark, Thomas Flucker, Joseph Taylor, Daniel Silsbee, Thomas Brinley, William Cabot, John S. Copley, Nathaniel Cof- fin, Samuel Porter, Benjamin Pickman, John Amory, Kobert Auchmuty, Major Urquhart, Samuel Curwen, Edward Oxnard,- most of whom were associated with Boston.
Dr. John C. Warren, in 1800, speaks of the visits he paid in England to the Tories, Harrison Gray, the Vassalls, and others, who were then living there "very comfortably." Life of John Collins Warren, i. 48.
