future. And Ido hereby warn all persons, as they shall answer for

of the enemy in my possession, either by removing negroes on board
ships, carrying away the timber or other property, or molefling the
people employed by me. And Ido require all the inhabitants who
are in arrears for house-rent or negro hire to my office, to pay the
fame up to the iff instant, to Mr. James Gordon, at his office,
No. 31, Meeting-street, on or before the 16th of this month, and
his receipt fhaT lea fufficient difeharge. JOHN CRUDEN.

CHARLESTOWN, April 13.
WE are informed by a person of credit from the country^
of a most cruel murder committed on the 3d of this
month in the neighbourhood of Camden.—A party of Rebels,,
confining of the following persons, Willis Whitaker, John
M'Kinnie, Charles Lewis, William Whitaker, jun. Samuel
Dinkins,, John Dinkins, Atthur-Brown Ross, Roger Gibson,
John King and Narbeth Carter, went to the house of Francis
Tidwell, who had formerly been a Captain in the Royal Mili
tia, but who had remained in the country when the troops
moved down, in hopes of eluding the search he expected
would be made after him, by lying out in the swamps. He
was unluckily at home when the party above-mentioned came
fuddcnly to his house. John Dinkins immediately fired at him,
and the bullet went through his shoulder. He was then car
ried to a place some miles distant, and was there hanged, with
out undergoing the least appearance of trial. Circumstances
attended the execution, which rendered even the deed more
execrable than the merely putting an innocent man to death.
As his murderers never took the trouble of pinioning his arms,
in bis struggles, while dying, he attempted several times to
take hold of the, limbs of the tree on which he was hanged ;
and it afforded them h : ^h amusement to beat down his hands
with theirwhips and fucks; His body remained hanging for
three days. Narbeth Corbett was the person who performed the
part of executioner, and fomuch to.the fatisfadion of his friends,
that they fay they will find him full employment while there
are any Tories in the State. Tidwell has left a wife and three
young children in very distressed circumftance6.
Yesterday afternoon arrived here the brigantine Bella,
Pillars, matter, from St. Auguftihe; the schooner Mary, Abel
Frifoie, mafler, from St. John's; and the fliip Lord George
Germaine, Capt. Thobourn, from Montego Bay, Jamaica,
which place she left the 6th of March.
In a newspaper brought by the last vessel, some account i 3
given of an engagement which is said to have happened in the
Mediterranean between the British and Spanish fleets, and
which terminated in favour of the former. It seems impoffiblc
however, that such an event could have taken place, as no
considerable fleet has failed this year from England prior to the
middle of February, but that under the command of Sir'
'George Rodney, who, we know, is arrived in the Weft-In
dies without feeing an enemy's fleet on the passage. Captain
Thobonrn mentions, that he had not heard of the arrival of
Sir George Rodney a; Barbadoes when he left Montego Bay.
We are also informed by Capt. Thobourn, that upwards of.
forty stores have been lately consumed by fire in the town of'
Kingston, the loss occasioned by which is estimated at two
hundred thousand pounds.
This day arrived heiethe Savage Sloop of warin 14 days from
New York. We have not yet been able to procure any New-
York papers: It is said in general that there is no news from
thence..
The Directors of the Lottery for the Benefit 0,
the Refugee Poor, beg leave to inform the Publick, that the Jick
nefs °f fonie of their number, and the departure of others frorra .
the Province, along with the increase of both publick and private
bufmefs, the rest of them have lately experienced from the dispatching
0, the two fleets for New- Fork and Great- Britain, have retarded
not only the sale of the Tickets, but also the preparing of the
Wheels from which they are to be drawn. The, are therefore
under the difa^reeable necessity of acquainting the Adventurers
that the drawing of the Lottery cannot commence, agreeaky to
the notice formerly given, on Tuesday the 16th of this monh.
They flatter themfclves, however, from the removal of the Cases:
which now ob ige them to defek it, that the drawing will not be
postponed more than a fortnight after that day. Ft is in the
mean time in the tower of the generic and humane to promote,
by purchajing the remaining Tickets, the benevolent end of the
undertaking, the sole object of which is to adminiller comfort
and reli f to the aged and infirm, and to afford fame small alle
viation of di,refs to the needy and he p,/' swidows and orphans
of those persons, who hair been extefed, from their I/yalt^, t&
tie bitter petfeution of t: eir enemies, and w.O have died in the
defence of the rights of their Sovereign.
Mr. Knecht takes this opportunity of informing the arrm,*
mous benefactor to the Charity, who sent him twTve dollars,
with a note under the Jignature of C. M. that, agreeably to bis
de,re, be has placed in the Treasurer' s bands, a Tickets, No. 2016
and 2017, for the benefit of the Refugee Poor. It is hoped that
the generous Donor will always experience similar success at play,
as his late winnings have been applied to such a laud Ple pur^ofe.
