for seven years ; was at the siege of Carthagena and
Porto Bello, afterwards seven years in the navy ; was
at the battle of Fontenoy, in Flanders, and with the

In 1762 was, at his own request, discharged, came to
this continent, and fettled at Lebanon, near Salutary
Spring, wnich he thinks tended to prolong his life and
abilities. In 1775 went with general Montgomery to
Quebec, amd bore all the fatigue of a winter campaign.
In 1777 was with general Harkamer in his bloody
battle; afterwards one campaign at the White- Plains,
and is now a soldier for the present campaign."
Much has been said of late in the Britiffi and New-
York prints, refpe&ing an immediate alliance, offensive
and defenfive, between the crowns of Great Britain
and Russia. Yet the current of intelligence from
France does not countenance a single idea of that kind.
The empress and her fubjefts certainly know, that by
forming such an alliance, they lob all trade with the
belligerent powers, England only excepted, mere
ly to gratify the mad humours of a frantic prince,
and throw it into the hands of the Danes, Swedes and
other neutral .maritime powers. The err pre s is also,
it feeins, to assist in reducing America to British do
mination, which after being reduced, is to supply
the Englilh with those very articles at a low rate,
which Russia now supplies them with, so greatly to
her own commercial emolument. But Englishmen
are only wife ; all the rest of the world arc fools !

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.
By a letter from South-Carolina, dated the Ift of
October, we are informed, that a party of general
Marion's corps had a few days before fallen in with
twelve black Britjfh dragoons, who were instantly at
tacked, one of them killed and the r-ft taken. It seem s
that theenemy court even the assist nice of the negroes
in the southern dates; t efe poor wretches desert their
homes and place themselves under the protection of
the British commanders, but, too late, repent their
folly, as every species of drudgery is assigned them.
Others are incorporated in the British regiments, and
being desperate, are often very mifchevjous in plun
dering.

NOTICE is hereby given to all whom ft may
concern, That counterfeits have appealed of th#
Notes issued from this office, struck on copperplate, in
the following form—" At fight pay to the Bearer
Twenty Dollars, for which this ihsil be your fufficient
Warrant." Which notes are tinned by me, and di
rected to Mr. John Swanwick, Philadelphia. There were
some Notes of thr fame /kind for Fifty and some for
Eighty Dollars, which may perhaps be also counterfeit
ed, though none have been yet difeovered. Thecoun
terfeits are badly executed, and might with care be de
te&d,but (from an apprehension that such arts would
be prffiiced) I long since defined from iffbing them,
and cancelled those which were brought in for payment.
There are no# out only sixteen tboufand fix hundred
and seventy dollars; and as no great inconvenience can
arise from putting a stop to the circulation of so trivial
a sum, the public are cautioned against receiving any
Notes struck on copperplate and signed with my name.
All persons holding those which are genuine, are de^
fired to fend them to Mr. Swauwi k and receive the
