CHATHA M. June rr,
Extraß of a letter from Elizabeth Town.
" From the many accounts from Weflehefter and
the neighbouring towns in the state of New York, near
the British polls, thminhabitants of said towns are in the
most unnappy filiation of any people under the fan.
Those called the king's, or loyal refugees, continue in
their o'd pa&:ce of beating burning, hanging, 'and
cutting men and womro, in order to extort the r mo.
ney and other effects; which is of late, continued and
put in practice with the mod unheard of cruelties and
barbarity that ever was known ; but especially since
the refugees have left Morifima, are now getting all
they can to carry off with them tc Nova Scarcity;
where they fay is nine months winter, and three months
cold weather in the year. They come rom New-York
and Longlfland in the night, and fculk about West
chester in the day, and when right coroes on, again
they exercise the above recited cruelties; so that the
inhabitants dare not lodge in their houses. If these
poor people are not^fpeedily relieved, they muff fall
a facrifite to the greater mongers of cruelty on earth.
" The names of some of the chefs are, Archibald
Montgomery, Nathan Hoeg. Henry Quaill, Abraham
Booker, Archibald Purdy, Jonathan ~Lovebury, and
Stephen Baxter, of Jamaica, on Long-bland, wap has
made his boast that he has extorted from the inhabi
tants to the amount of 500 guineas for his (hare."

Extrall of a letter from Charlelown, (South-Carolina)
dated June 2, 1783.
“ We are at present entirely barren of domeflic
news, only that a number of the gentry who were the
means of our being confined in loathsome dungeons
and prison ihips, our property taken away, and our
persons banifh^f, have returned, in order to endea
vour to gain a footing h&e ; but our governor has
confined them until an opportunity offers for Europe,
when he is determined to fend them to their father,
king George."
At a Meeting of the Freemen of the townfoip of Ger
mantown, held on Monday, the 9th inflant, at the
Union School-house, the following Resolves were

2d. That any person harbouring or concealing those
enemies of their country dial! feel the highest difplea
sure of the inhabitants of this town.
3d, And as we have reason to believe,that there have
been an I still may be refugees from other Bates among?
us, Therefore Resolved, That we will enquire into
the character of all strangers coming into this town,
and if any fhali be found of the above description, we
will peaceably, in the firft inhance, request them to de
part the fiate immediately.
4th. Resolved, That the committee be invefled with
full powers by this meeting to carry the above resolves

Extra? of a letter from a gentleman at George's creek,
on Monongehela, to his brother, an officer in the
Pennsylvania line, dated May 7, 1783.
'' The Indians have been worle this spring than
any other time since the commencement of the war;
killing, captivating and burning upon ail quarters of
our frontiers, and the only support that we have, is
a faint hope that his excellency general Washington
wII fend us relief. My dear brother, if you have
any influence in this case, I pray that you would ex
ert it to the utmost."
It is aflonifhing how men in power, can hear of our
poor frontiers, (offering under the barbarous hands
of cruel savages, and take no measures to bring to jus
tice a race of mankind, who glory in killing women
and children.
Have we loft all feeling in Philadelphia? Or can
we be so void of the principles of juflice, as to sup
pose that a people, who are not protected by us, owe
allegiance to us?
New-Cable county, on Delaware, June 2, 1783.
Departed this life in the 39th year of his age, John
Aiken, merchant; who by an undeviating course of
fair and upright dealing for several years, had acqui
red a considerable eflate ; and amongst a very exten
five and numerous acquaintance, was justly efleemed
a humane, benevolent, honest man, and a valuable
member of both religious and civil society. In private
life he deservedly sustained the character of a mod lov
ing hufbind, a tender parent, an affectionate brother,
a gentle mafler, an obliging neighbour, and a sincere
friend; so that his death (being cut off in the vigour
of life) may be confide ed, not only as a heavy affliction
to his family; but a loss to the community in general.
On Friday the 30th of May died, at his feat in Ches
ter county, William Moore, esquire, in the 84th year
of his age.
