We hear that in the late action on Long Island Col.
P hlllPJ ohnsto n, of New-Jersey, behaved with
remarkable intrepidity and fortitude. By the well di
re&ed fire from his battalion the enemy were several
times reptilfed and lanes were made through them; un
til he received a ball •, his breast, which put an end
to the life of as brave an officer as ever commanded a
battalion.—General Sullivan, who was close to him
when he fell, fays that no man could behave with more
firmnefs during the whole action. As he facrificed his
life in defence of the invaded rights and liberties of his
country, his memory mull be dear to every American
who is n it inlenfible to the (offerings of his injured
country, and as long as the fame uncorrupted spirit of
libe r ty, which led him to the field, shall continue to
actuate the sons of freedom in America.
