From Rivington's N&-York Gazette.
NEW-YORK, September 19.
taft Wednesday afternoon his loyal highness
Prince William Henry, arrived in this city, accompani
ed by the honourable admiral Digby ; he was received
at landing by his excellency the commander in chief,
accompanied by the governor, the admirals, generals,
and other great officers of the crown, conducted to
commodore Affleck's, where his royal highness dined,
and in the evening retired to apartments provided for
his accommodation in Wall-street.
Ytflerday the militia and independent companies ap
peared under arms, and his royal highness was saluted
by them en paffant, to the house of his excellency lieu
tenant-general Robertson, where an elegant dinner was
provided for the prince.'
It is impossible to express the fatisfaflion felt (by per•
sons of all ranks) from the ease, affability, and conde
scension shewn by this mos tpleafing, manly youth,
when he appears abroad amongst the happy, and ap
proved loyal fubjefts of the good and gracious king,
our bed and firmed friend, the majefly of England, his
royal highne s's sincerely beloved father.
To His Royal Highness Prince WILLIAM HENRY.
The bumble address of the governor, his majesty's
council, and inhabitants of New-York.
May it pleaG your Royal Highness,
np O permit me with the members of his majesty's
' Council, 0 hail your auspicious arrival on the
American shore.
At the fame time, fuffer me to express the congatu
lations, which all the inhabitants, by their chief magis
trate, have commissioned me to convey to your royal
highness.
On the report of your coming, we felt our obligati
on to our gracious king, for this new and signal proof
of his regard. Your royal highness's appearance aug
ments our gratitude, by improving our idea of the ex
tent of his goodness.
Your presence animates every loyal breast, the
glow in eur own, persuades us you are formed to win
every heart ; a rebellion that grew upon prejudice,
should fink at the approach, of so fair a reprefeutation
of the royal virtues.
But if a milled faction, not to be vanqulfhed by
goydoefs, persists in tie war, every man of spirit will be
to fight in acaufe for which you expose your life.
May your royal highness bring an accrffion of glo
ry, to that deftinguifhed family from which you are
descended ; and who, as patrons of liberty, and the
ProLiant religion, have spread blessings among nap
_His Royal Highness's ANSWER#
Gentlemen,
T BEG you will receive my best thanks for your at
* tention to me, and congratulations on my arrival
in this country, which I (half certainly take the firft
opportunity of making known to his majesty, I de
sire you will accept my best wiftes for the prosperity
of America in general, %d this province in particular.
[A eOLDO calf was once the instrument of re
ducing the Israelites from their true interests and duty.
They gave up that liberty wherewith God had made
them free ; they gave up their property, their ear rings
of gold, to make the calf; and then fell down and
worfhipped him, cryingout, these be thy gods 0
Israel : And they run into all this folly and wicked
refs b'caufe the Egyptians, their late cruel mailers,
worshiped a great beast called Apis—a bulb
The governor of the garrison of the city of New-
York, seems to think that fheAmericans will be led in
to the fame extravagance ; that we already long for the
on ons and fbfh pots of our former talk masters and
bloody persecutors ; that we are prepared to return to
our ancient idolatry; and that, above all things in
the world, we are r*ady to worship the Offspring of
the Royal Brute of Britain. He is miffaken after this
long and bloody contest for freedom and independence,
which is now drawing to so happy a conclyfion ; after
we have waded through fear of blood, in search oflib
erty, we are not to be led away from the glorious ob
jell by the idle pageantry of a son of a king especially
of fucha king as degrades human nature beneath the
the rank of tee adored bullof Egypt. Let slaves adore
tyrants and the sons of tyrants : The Amercans are
free. It is our boafl that we have no king; and if we
should again be reconciled to royal government, whi h
is hardly possible, we should even then, it is to be hop
ed, have virtue enough remaining to refufe any kind
of fubieHion to the remotefl lineage of our late abhor
red tyrant. The I- y William Henry Guelph, lately
arrived at New-York, will perhaps soon be in our
power. In that event wefhril not visit the fins of the
father on the child ; but fend him home to his mother.
It would not be quite so fafe for his father to come a
mongst us. The blood he has so wantonly fpilt, and
all the cruelties he has ufel towards the people of
this country would very justly be remembered against
him.]
Philadelphia, O&o. 6.
Thursday last a detachment 'of the Pennsylvania
line, under the immediate command of colonel Craig,
marched from their camp on the other fide o Schuyl
kill, thro' this city, and immediately embarked on
board veiTels in the Delaware, which are to convey
them part of their route to the (outboard.
By a gentleman who left Williamsburg on the 26th
ult. we learn hat the Allied Army had commenced 0
perations against lord Cornwallis, who fyas at that time
closely permed up in York Town, whicn it appears he
Jhas rendered very Prong by numerous fortifications ;
too' it w^s said considerable impression was made 'on Iris
works by the fir'of our heavy cannon, &c. We fh^l
very probably soon iiave agreeable accounts from that
quarter
Sir Henry Clinton remains quiet in N ew-York, not
wjthftandipg the imminent danger now hanging over
the head of his colleague in wickedness, lord Corn-
willis ; but it is presumed the presence of his younc
master will at once dissipate his fears, and that he,
as a “ man of spirit," " will be oroud to fight in a
cause for which the young gentleman exposes his life.”
Extras of a letter from Richmond, dated September 24.
" The following are extracts from letters wrote by
doHor Brown and Johnston, of the Southern army, and
handed me by a gentleman at this place.
" At Futah near Santee, 53 miles from Charleflown,
on the Bth of September, an engagement commenced
between general Greene and the main body of the ene
my's army, in which the former loft from 250 to 300 ;
the enemy's loss, killed 300, wounded and taken 60,
taken, not wounded 340, total 700.
" These letters add, that all the officers of colonel
Wellington's corps were either killed, wounded or ta
ken, except captain Clark: The colonel was miffing,
but returned slightly wounded.
'' Monday the 10th a heavy firing was beared, but
noaccount of the event. As general Greenehad lent a
detachment wf frefh troops after the enemy's flying ar
my, there is no doubt of a total defeat.
A Lilt of the officers killed and wounded on our part.
