On Sunday morning last, a fleet for Nova-Scotia,
with royal refugees from New-York, put to sea with a
fair wind., ; ,
The August packet arrived at New-York last Sun
day night from Falmouth. She failed about the fame
time as the Commerce, captain Truxtun, from Lon
don. , {
The city of New-York has lately been much infeft
ed by robbers; insomuch that fifteen of them were at
one time last week taken up.—Notwithstanding this,
Scarcely a night passes without a robbery.—The inha
bitants have formed associations for a nightly watch.

*t* Mr. William Thomas, (supposed to live at some

To the true WHIGS in America.
IN the several vessels lately arrived from England,
came passengers a number of persons empowered by
the British merchants to collea monies due them in this
city, as well as in other parte of the United States. I did
not believe they would have been thus early in the busi
ness. Can they suppose America has already forgot the
infernal conduct of Britain towards her ? Do they think
the operation of the tomhawk and scalping knife on de
fencelefs women and children, with many other of their
diabolical ads, is not still frefh in the memories of her
virtuons sons? I will venture to assert, these men will
find themselves much miflaken, if they think those
matters already buried in oblivion. The principals
or agents who are now here, and others who may
be hourly expected, will perhaps have the hardi
nefs to sue for the debts due them: fhoutd this be the
case, I hope there is a fufficiency of the spirit of 1776
left among us to make them repent their rashness: for
this you may rely on, this species of animals have been
no more your friends than were the infamous refugees
whom you have refufed a residence amongst you. I be
lieve every person here who is indebted to a British mer
chant will pay him if able, as soon as in his power. Is
it not therefore indolence in excels, that even before
the signing of the definitive treaty, any Briton dare set
his foot on American ground, and demand money from
us, when the 2&s of himfelf and his countrymen have
brought ruin upon the inhabitants in general? I advise
you therefore, my dear countrymen, to take this im
portant matterinto you, most serious consideration, and
appoint committees, who will no doubt adopt such mea
sures, as will put a flop to the persecuting hand of Bri
tish agents, whether they be our fellow citiz ns or Bri
tish fubjefts. , ' A MERICAN U S.
