Extras of a letter from a gentleman at Haverflraw,
near Stony-Point, dated Sept d 30.
“ I am confident that the perfidy of General Arnold
will astonish the people of America; the high rank he
bore, the eclait he had obtained, whether honefily or
not, juflified the world in giving it him.
" But there were a few gentlemen, as early as the
campign of 1776, well knew that honour and true vir
tue were Grangers to his foul ; and that he did not pos
sess either fortitude or perfoual courage, other than
what the bowl or glass supplied.
“ Although I entertained the molldespicable opini
on of his abilities as an officer, yet I must do him this
justice, that he has improved on the blacked treachery
2nd the most confumate impudence, in a manner that
would cause the infernals blush, were they to be
charged with with it."
On Monday the second infant departed this life, af
ter a sickness of fix days continuance, the Reverend
Mr. JEREMIAH HALSEY, pastor of rhe prefbyte
lian church at Bedminfter in the date of New Jerf@y ;
and, although eulogiums are oft bestowed on the dead
which they never merited whilst alive, yet all who
knew Mr. Halsey will own it a tribute justly due to
his memory, to fay, That as a man he was plain, ho
ned, upright and punctual ; a friend to the needy
and father to the orphan ; as a chriftian, truly pious;
an Israelite indeed, in whom was no guile ; equally
free from superstition and auderity on the one hand,
and enthusiasm on the other ; and possessed of that cha
rity of fenfiment towards those who differed from him
in opinion, which adorns the religion of Jesus; as a
Minider of the Gospel he was faithful and assiduous in
the service of his Lord ; and, as a member of civil so
ciety, steady, uniform and zealous in his attachment
to the interest of his country ; and, from a just sense
of American rights, and car y difeovery of the subver
sive designs formed against them, was among the firft
who gave an alarm and awakened the attention of the
public to tue insidious measures and oppressive views
of the British Court, and the importance of preserving
their privileges : In literary acquirements and extensive
knowledge few were equal ; and his endeavours to pro
mote learning and diffufe the advantage of a liberal
education, the college of New Jersey will long remem
ber, and deplore the loss of so ufeful a Trustee. His
life was a series of doing good; and his great object to
advance the temporal and eternal interest of his fel
low men and the glory ofGod; and, in his removal,
in the prime of life, and midd of growing ufefuloefs,
not only his family and congregation have experi
enced a heavy firoke, but both Church and State have
loft a faithful and important friend ; but it is Ameri
ca's comfort, that though her earthly friends may
die, her God, her Almighty Friend, lives for eer,
and will maintain her righteous cause, and bless her
Church and bless her State ; that neither the gates of
he'l, nor unrighteous attempts of Britain shall finally
prevail against her.
*** Mr. Wilson's ADDRESS to the CITIZENS
of Pennsylvania will be published in our next.
Mr. DUNLAP,
>T II E extraordinary conduct of my late General
1 has given rife to suspicions in the breads of my
countrymen, which are a d reel attack upon my in
tegrity, and sensibly wound my feelings as a man of
honour and a whig: many surmises, void of truth
and replete with malevolence, have been industriously
spread abroad, and with such success, that the judg
ments of those inclined to think favourable of me have
been thereby milled; assertions without proof have
been received as edablifhed faffs, and my reputation
©n this account injured and as
Conscious of my own uprightness and integrity, and
unable, upon the drifted scrutiny into my conduct,
to discover the lead deviation from principle or duty,
I pleased myfelf with the agreeable idea, when Ltd 111
Philadelphia, of remaining there such a length of time
as would furnifh an opportunity to remove impreflions
so derogatory to my honour, and exonerate my cha
racter from ill-grounded imputations- , but an order
from the Supreme Executive Council of this State * re
quiringmy immediate departure for camp, put the in
tended mode of juftification cut of my power.
T must here remark, as argumentative of try inno
cence, uid also to fliew the sentiments of the honourable
council, as to the several reports and insinuations re
fpefting me, " that I am ordered after examination, by
them, to return immediately to the army under Gene
ral Wafhiugton." To their resolution I beg leave to
request the particular attention of my fellow citizens,
and am bold to declare, that candour, comm # n sense
common jufiice and plain reafoh juftify the opinion,
" that however charges were exhibited agaihfi me,"
the proof of them was defective ; and that council, im
prehed with that idea, no logger harbour fenrfmenrs
unfavourable to me; which they evidently maniieh,
by ordering me to join the army of our illudrious
Chief. Can the supposition of treason or difaffeaion,
on my part, be admitted, and the adjudication of that
honourable body be reconciled? No: either Council
believed me criminal or they did not; if the affirma
tive, the impropriety of that order is obvious; for
camp is a very improper place for traitors, or persons
even fufpeded of treason or difaffeaion• if they did
not, tneir conduct is explicable, and to be accounted
for on just and rational principles.
1 am now on my way to head-quarters, in obedi
ence to this injunction from government; where I
hope, by the indulgence of his Excellency, to have a
full investigation of every part of my conduct: My
ardent desire to merit the good opinion of my fellow
citizens and countrymen, induces me most earneflly
to urge and entreat them to suspend their judgments
until I have the pleasure of laying before them the re
sult of the enquiry, upon a deliberate discussion of the
late groundless charges.
Brifiol, Oft. 6, 1780. DAVID S. FRANKS, Maj.
* In COUNCIL, Philadelphia, Ofto. 3, 1780.
Mtjor David S. Franks being brought before coun
cil and examined :
Ordered, That Major Franks be required to return
immediately to the army under the command of his
Excellency General Washington.
