Capt. Doane, from this port for St. Euftatius, was
taken by a privateer seven days after he failed, and his
veflel sent tor New-York. He remained on board the
cruizer, which arrived some days since at Sandy-
Hook, but helitated to go up to New-York, bccaufe
of an embargo layed there. Capt. Doane prevailed
on a filherman to land him in New-Jersey, who in
formed him that a veffcl had on Saturday the 12th,
arrived from Georgia in 8 days, the matter of which
had been thrown into gaol, for reporting the news

substantial yeomen had been formed in almost every
county, for the defence of the kingdom ; eloathed in
uniform, and armed at their own colt, and their
officers chosen by the privates. Men of the firft for

Particularly Mr. Connolly, the firft Commoner in

June 29. A gentleman of character is just arrived
here, by wav of the Weft-Indies from Ireland, who
left that kingdom in March last. He allures us, that
the land forces in Ireland did not amount to hx thou
sand men, and that none could be spared from Britain ;
that about 5 or 600 had come out in the Jamaica
fleet, which left England about the 20th of March ;
that none could be expected to be sent to North-Ame
rica this summer ; that just as he left Europe, news
had come of the lot's of Senegal and the factories in
Africa, and it was understood that Admiral Arbuth
not with a proper armament would be sent immedi
ately to remedy the milchief. We also learn, that
a military association of gentlemen, merchants, and
about 50 yagers. Two large fliips of war, 2 row gal
lies, bombs, &c. and above 30 transports lay near the
army. General Clinton had been down to New-York
but was returned. The enemy had built two block
houses on the eastern fide of the Hudson. Their de
sertions, of late, have been very great."
Other accounts some days later, represent the mo

they may attack Fort Clinton, but fear they will not.
