solves of said town meeting, that unless they depart

•with in a proper manner-
The several Printers are desired to give the foregoing

2d rtfolves of the town meeting abovementioned, that
no one may plead ignorance.
ift. That we confider it as inconfiflent with the inte

any person who hath voluntarily withdrawn himfelf

armies, or aided and abetted the measures employed by
the king of Great Britain against this country ; or who
hath been legally attainted, or expelled by this, or any
of the United States, should be fuffered to return to, or
reside within the state of Pennsylvania.
2d. That we confider it our duty as citizens and in
dividuals, to prevent any such persons returning into
this hate; and we do solemnly determine and mutual

Extras of a letter from New-York, dated 25th June.
„" No more attention will be paid to the late orders
than to the former —I am pretty confident the British
will not leavethis city till late in the fall, for it is cer
tain no orders have as yet been received for that pur
pose. It has been said that all the foreign troops were
to embark—but it now proves to be only thre^ or four
particular regiments."
It is reported that the islands of Cuba, Porto Rico,
Louisiana, and East and Weft Florida will be formed
into a viceroyfhip, and that his excel, gen. Galvez
will be appointed viceroy of the fame. The regard this
gallant and able commmander has (hewn far America,
and the many services he has rendered to individuals
of the United States, give us reason to hope for a con
firmation of the appointment.
Among the many honors conferred on general Galvez
for his well-digested plans and enterprises during the
late war, he is dignified by his prince with an addition
to his coat of arms, a brig painted — motto yo solo
(I alone) —in grateful memento of his having forced
the port of Pensacola in a (mail brig of his own, after
his admiral had refufed the arduous and glorious un
dertaking.
Friday as t about 1500 continental troops with a de
tachment of artillery, under the command of general
Robert Howe, arrived at Frankfort on their way to this
city. They are chiefly three years men, from Massa
chusetts, -whole terms of inliftment have not yet ex
pired.
The (hip Canada, Orrock, and brig Industry, Chad
wick, arrived at Borton from London.
During the heavy gust of ram, which fell on Tues
day afternoon, a man was killed by lightning at a
house about eight miles from this city, on the Frank
fort road.—He was afeending the flairs, and had got
near half way up, when the fatal slash reached him,
and he fell instantly. It is supposed he received some
hurt in his fall, as he bled much from a wound in hie
fide, and died immediately after.
