We hear with pleafur?, that several noblemen and
gentlemen have resolved to feed their horses with little
or no oats this winter, but will hay only. Unless tSis
Lafore is universally adopted, the scarcity of corn,
-added to the inclemency es the season, will be severely
frit by the poor.
CHATHAM, January 15
By a gentlemen from London, via New York, who
left it late ip November, we learn, that a number of
the minißry have adored lord Shelburne they will a
bandoo him, uufefs the plan of the late lord Rocking
ham is pursued, which was, to grant peace and inde
pendence to America —That the people of England,
fated with the war, are heartily disposed for peace.
That Mr. Laurens, late president of congress was to
have come o/er in the fame ship with him; but hisin
difoofition, which, it is thought, will be fatal, prevent
ed him.
Mr.C LYAPOOLE,
Please to insert in your paper, the names of the un
der-mentioned perfops taken by the Indians, in Barre
township, Bedford county, on the 14th day of October,
3782; and you will oblige your humble servant,

Yeflerday the Delaware Hate regiment, witn " lank
lean cheeks and war worn coats," passed through this
town, from South Carolina, on their way home.
The floret of federal merchants i® the city of Phila
delphia and this town, have been lately broken open
in the night time, and robbed of goods to a confidera
t>le amount.^ Three or four villains (supposed to be
a part of the Philadelphia gang) were apprehended here
on Saturday sass, mid. committed to gaol. A waggon
load.of .good:, ^is laid were found in their poffcffion.
Philadelphia, Jan. 23.
Great outrages, it is said, were committed by the
officers and (oldies of the enemy, previous to the eva
cuation of Charleftown, proceeding from an unwibing
nefs to pay off their debt;.—ln one fray, it is assert
ed, a merchant of dirrinaion was put to death.
We heir the enemy have carried off the bells be
longing to the churches and other public edifices in
Charlestown, and committed many enormities besides
that of facrilega.
A report prevails in town, fai.> to havq been brought
from Lofton, that the preliminaries of peace are agreed
on by the comraiffientrs, from the refpeflive bellige
rent powers, alfembled at Paris.
On Friday nigut latt, the criminals who were lately
convicted of robbing Mr. Sall's house, got out of prtfop
by means of the affiance of a negro belonging to
Mr. Reynolds, keeper of the jail. It seem? that the
fellow (in whom his mailer placed so great confidence
as occasionally to trull him with the keys) took an
opportunity of unlocking the doors, and about twelve
o'clock c ndufted them into the street with their irons
on However, two of them were soon after feoured,
a third (Stackhoufe) was taken the next mornng,
cfoffing the river a little above Kensington ; and on
Tuesday morning two others were apprehended about
forty miles from this city, on their way to New York,
and it is not doubted that th^ fifth (John Doffet, a
negro) will soon be brought back The negro who
let them out is also secured. The criminals had
engaged, on their arrival at New York, that he
ffiould receive one hundred guineas for hisfervices.
Departed this life, on the evening of 4th day lao,
Joseph Jewell, in tie 43d year of his age, and on 6th
day following, his funeral was attended to the place
of interment in friends burial ground, by a large con
course of the mofi refpedable citizens. His death is
much regretted by his numerous acquaintance.
~*. At the City Vendue-Store, To morrow, will
fold a Quantity of Garden Seeds, of various kinds.
Report from Elizabetii-'T own, mention the arrival
of a packet at New-York from England, but that no
late advices had yer transpired.
It is also reported from the fame quarter, that the
Indiana nave destroyed several of the royal refugees,
who went to form a settlement in Nova Scotia.
Mr. CLAYPOOLE,
ON perusing of the Pennsylvania Packet, I met with
a piece signed Jurisperitus, wherein Zebuion
Potts, efa ; foreman of the grand jury, in colonel Of
wald'scafe,is charged with " being in a private room in
Conversation withcolonels ProHor and Oswald, and
Mr. Jacob Bankfon” In juflice to Mr. Ports, a gentle
man to whom I never spoke, nor even know by
character or report, and in defence of the characters
afperfed, I think myfelf bound in honour to mention
the circumflances to the public—They are as follow :
I met with colonel Procter in the street, on Saturday
morning, and accompanied him to the White-Horse
tavern, where we found colonel Oswald and Mr.
Bankfon, in the front room, below flairs. Mr. Potts
then passed the door, which was open, and Mr.
Bankfon called on Mr. Potts, and acquainted him,
that he waited on the grand jury as an evidence,
and requeued that his evidence might be dispatched
as foonas possible, as he had material business to
tranfaO that morning." On this the attorney gene
ral flepped into tie room, and some words passed be
tween him and colonel Oswald, respecting the prose
These, and no other words or difeourfe, or any kind
of tampering, passed between Mr. Potts and the gen
tlemen present. I aver it on the declaration of a
gentleman; and nothing but a regard to innocence
and honour could prevail on me to trouble the pub
lic upon the occasion,
