" As in scene of owning Paradise."

'gentlemen in that town, upon receiving the
joyful news, ooThurfday last, of the reducti

benefit of their families at home, by whch
means, they collected a sum to the amount
of 826dol!ars, which is to be distributed to
such perfens in that town (according to their
cu'cumftances) as have either husband or

PROVIDENCE, October 25.
" General Poor is within two days march of
this, with fifteen hundred troops-, and General
Glover's brigade is coming down on the other fide
of the North River.
"By some per fans lately from the enemy, 1
am informed, that a reinforcement of four tbou
fandis ordered from New-York to join General
Howe, and their late movements favor that ac
count. By verbal accounts from the Southward
as late as last Wednesday, General Washington's
head quarters were at the fifteen mile stone—bis
advanced picket £t the blazing ft ar, four miles
from Philadelphia—-That the troops were order
dered to draw and cook two days provijion—-
That 2000 Hessians eroded the Schuylkill, Gen.
M'Dougal was sent after them, which caused
them to hasten back. A heavy cannonade was
heard to begin at four f clock Thurs day morning
and continued till near noon ; the event I have
not beard,"
Camp, Whltpai% (15 miles from Philadel
phia) October 24, 1777.
" The night before laftthe Hessians with
sear 3000 men, attempted to storm the fort
at Red Bank, were repulsed, about 400 or
500 killed and wounded ; Count Donop,
his B igacre Major, and upwards of 100 pri
fme s, and their cannon supposed to be left
in the woods. Yesterday a most feve>e can
nonade all tVe morning ; their ships came up
co the Cheveaux de Frize, but were drove
back with the loss of the Augusta, of 64
guns, and a Frigate, some fey the Apollo,
but certainly two, of which the Augusta is
one. I heard the explosion and saw the
smoke frem Germanton, They seem deter
mined to carry those forts, but such another
repulse must drive them off We move a
few miles to morrow. In haste, &c.
C BIDDLE.
Sunday evening latt, a small party of men
landed on Rhode HI ind, and made prisoners
c* two Dragoons, who have since been con
ducted here.
