Yesterday the account of the surrender of the British
army, under the command of lord Cornwallis, was re
ceived here : soon after which his excellency the gover
nor, with the members of the senate and assembly, re
paired to the reformed proteflant Dutch church in this
town, to return their grateful acknowledgements to
the almighty ruler of the universe, for the signal success
with which he has been graciously pleased to crown the
operations of the allied army: Dr. Livingflon officiated
on this occasion. This tribute paid, the members of the
legislature waited on his excellency the governor at his
house, to congratulate him on the happy event: cannon
were fired, bonfires and illuminations exhibited in the
evening, and every decent demonstration closed the com
memoration of a day which ought ever to be remem
bered with the warmed emotions of gratitude to the
sovereign disposer of all events, by every person inte
rested in the welfare and happiness of the United Ame
rican States.' ——
FISHKIL L, November 8,
Six or eight armed men, supposed to be Mody's
banditti from New-York, on last Saturday evening
about 8 o'clock, beset the house of colonel Cooper, ^
bout twelve miles from King's ferry, (Kakeat). Four
or five travellers had flopped at the house that evening
three of which were dragoons of colonel Sheldon's re
giment, who had just arrived and scarcely seated, when
the villains forced open the door, and immediately fired
on the people in the house, damning them to surren
der. Serjeant Barnabas Hollis, a young man of good
charafbr, was killed; and captain Champion was
fhghtly wounded in attempting to get out at another
door. Colonel Cooper had the presence of mind to
put out the candle :—The h use in darkness, and the
men in it preparing for defence, alarmed the guilty sons
of darkness, who, with precipatation, ran off. and
tho' the militia in the- eighbourhood soon collected and
purfuel, they got off, as the darkness and the woods
secured them ; but parties were sent out to search the
bye roads, and woods :-'Tis hoped that these mur
deres will soon fall into our hands, and receive their
reward.—-It is supposed that one part of their business
was to seize another ma^, and that they expected to
find the post rider there-they miffed their aim—The
triumph of these mifereants, we doubt not, will be
fhort, —The tory neftwill ere long be routed and
these pests of society expelled the bteffings ®f this land
of freedom, which they have, for a confider?ble tin e
been endeavouring to aduce under vile oppression and
bondage.
