"Office of Finance, November 8,1782.
Notice is hereby given, to all whom it may
concern, that counterfeits have appealed of
the notes issued from this office, Bruck on copper
plate in the following form: " At fight pay to the
bearer Twenty Dollars, for which this flsall he
your fufficieit warrant" Which notes were signed
by me, and direfled to Mr. John Swanwick, Phi
ladelphia. There were some notes of the lame kind
for Fifty and feme for Eighty Dollars, which may
perhaps be also counterfeited, though none have yet
been difeovered. The counterfeits are badly exe
cuted, and might with care be detected, but (from
an apprehension that such aits would be pra&ifed)
I long since defined from issuing them, and cancel
led those which were brought in for payment. —
1 here are now out only fixtcen thousand fix^undred
and seventy dollars ; and as no great inconvenience
can atife from putting a flop to the circulation of
so trivial a fam, the publick are cautioned agiinft
receiving any notes struck on copper-plate and li?n
ed with my name. All persons holding those which
are genuine, are desired to fend them to Mr. Swan
wick and receive the money.

Extract of a letter from Sunbury, dated Oil. id.
" Yesterday, between the hours of io and 12
o'clock, John Martin, his wife and family were
taken prisoners by the Indians at his house 6 miles
from the town of Northumberland ; about 50 yards
from the house Mrs. Martin was tomahawked and
scalped; old Mr. Martin was taken about one hun
dred perches and then tomahawked and scalped,
but is yet living a miserable fpedacle; the person,
miffing are, a daughter and grand daughter of Mr.
Martin, and a young woman, daughter to one
Careaden, who lives in that neighbourhood. 1
write in haste, as I purpose setting out with a partyr
in pursuit of the enemy."
TRENTO N, November 13.
We learn'that the brave Captain Storer, com
missioned as a private boat of war under this state,
and who promises fair to be the genuine fuccelfor
of the late valiant Captain Hyler, has given a re
cent instance of his valour and conduct in capturing
one of the enemy's vessels. On the evening of the
third instant he embai ked with the two boats under
his command at Point Comfort, arid proceeded
from thence into York bay by the way of the nar
rows; and after a fruitless search for detached vef
fels,he bore away for Middletown. On his ieturn he
palled through tiie British fleet lying at the watering
place, and running down along rhe Shore of Staten
lfland, difeovered a vessel lying under the ftag-ftaff
fort, within half pistol (hot of a fourteen gun lot
tery. This vessel he immediately boarded 'and car
ried without any alarm being given She proved
to be a sloop in the service of his Britanrrick Ma
jesty, and employed in the engineer's department..
He had the good fortune to get her Life into port in
spite of the enemy's armed vessels lying in Prince's
Bay.
At the late Joint-Meeting of the Legislature,
the Honourable Abraham Clark, Jonathan Elmer,
Elias Boudinot, Silas Condid and Frederick he
linghuyfen, Elquires, were elected to represent this
date in Congress the ensuing year.
It is confidently told by perlons from New-York
and Staten-Island, that Charleftown is evacuated by
the enemy; but we will not vouch for the truth of
this report.
