[The following letter furnifhes us with
more information refpeaing the iofur-
Ttfftroro Pmnnf,te„to,th#n ea, thing
we have heard before on the fubjea.J
,['\,hilad. MARCH 27.
EMraß ofa letter from a gestlmax 0, ref,sc
'tabilit, and information in Nertbrapten
County, dated March 23d, te hie friend in
this city.
" WITH refpea to the general difpofi
tion of the people in this county, it is
very difficult for me to obtain much in
formation upon which I can form a cor
rea opinion. Many do not view the af
fair at Bethlehem to am?unt to any crime
at all, but believe the a& was perfealy
ri ght, insfmuch as the object was in de
fence of liberty ; others again believe
that they hive joined a complete vl&orv
over government, and that from hence
forth they will not be troubled for the
payment of taxes. Others believe that=
government will not be able to bring a|
large body of men to aagainft them ;'
because, fay they, every body thinks as
we do, except a few d-d furies in Eafton.
For my part, I trust government will
judge of the bufiaefs as is right, and not
look upon it as a contemptible thing.—
Should a small number of men be sent
to fapport the Marshall io the execution
of his duty, and they Would meet with
the least check, then it will become a fe
rrous piece of business to us few who have
firmly adhered to the government.— In
such a case, a large number, who from
fear, have for the prefect remained nets
ter, will at once declare themselves for
the rebels, and become aaivein the cause
of sedition, •••• .... •#••, it is true,

it is said) fubmiflion to the laws ; but I
doubt whether the impression, if any was

gers, the Colonel and Captain waited on
him j he recommended fubmiflion to the
laws—this they reported. The clamor
ous part of them then fufoe&ed that the
General, Colonel and Captain were all
turned tories, or would turn, and there
fore, mould not be trusted!
“ K— - believes, maufe he was told
Congress have empowered the
President to borrow as much money as
he pleases, and to mortgage any, or all
of the states, for the payment, that he
will surely mortgage Pfofybaofo firft,
because it is the richest ; and that when
he has got all the money he will run off
to England, buy himfelf a lordfllip, and
marry one of his daughters into the royal

The following extraordinary circum
stance is related as having ado 11, hap
^° e ^ during the engagement between
the Constellation & Infurgeote frigates.
A twenty four pound (hot from the Con
stellation having entered the after part
of tbe I^ferftnte, in its pa ffig e killed is
men, difm unted a gun, damaged the
carriage of another, and its force being
spent, fell on the deck ; an officer picked
it up, and carried it to the Captain, ob
serving that if was in vain to contend
with a ship that carried such heavy metal.
It was supposed this circumstance contri
buted not a little to the fortunate event
of the action. The ball is now on board
the ship Alexander Hamilton, Captain
Remington, lately arrived in this port
from St. Kitts.
On the morning of the day the Infor
gente was taken, /he had been chafed by
two Bririfli frigates, and escaped by her
taft failing. She is described as e very
fine frigate, copper bottomed, and hav
ing a number of brass guns and swivels
mounted. She was not much damaged,
but had a (hot through her main-mast,
another thro' her bowsprit, and federal
in her hull.
Soon after the Conftellatior went into
""'''' C°" cor de, Britiffi frigate#
puffed near her, and gave Capt. Trux
ton three cheers.
'—."" d ''' ^ f ° re the Norfolk, Capt.
Williams, failed, Gem. Desferneaux's
Secretary arrived at St. Kitts, for the
purpose of inducing Capt. Truxton to
^ftore the Infurgeote. He told Capt.

give orders to the French cruizers to cap.
tore all American vessels without diferim.
matron. Capt. Truxton Mifircred that
de had a&d in perfe& obedience to the
orders of his government, and that no
other power would induce him to give up
his prize. The Secretary then made use
of promises and entreaties | and at length
Capt. Truxton inexorable, he
left him, muttering imprecations against
the Americans, and returned to Guada
