TRENTO N, March 22.
On Saturday evening last Congress received dis
patches from General Lincoln in Charleftow n, dated
Feb. 22d. From these and other letters as late as the
25th, we learn, that so much of the fleet and army
which failed from New-York 26th of December, as
had efeaped the lea, were arrived in Stono Inlet, up
wards of 20 miles from Charicßown. Their army
lay on John's and James's Islands. From several de
serters and prisoners taken after they landed, it ap
pears that several vessels foundered in their passage,
and others were much damaged. Almost all their
horse were loft. From their movements it seemed
they were not in a condition to take any advantage
of the uncollected state of our army. Our works at
Charleftown were finifhed when the express came a
way. Our troops collecting, and the town-and gar

WHEREAS Isaiah Yard, of Trenton, has mali
ciously inserted in the New-Jersey Gazette of
the 15th inst. a caution to the public, with a view (no
doubt) to prevent the sale of a plantation advertised
by me in said Gazette. Ido hereby inform the pub
lic that I can prove, by the very best authority, that
neither the aforefaid Isaiah Yard, his father, nor
grandfather, nor either of them, have or ever had
right or title in said trad of land ; and also that my
right has been regularly derived from an indisputable
title made by the then fheriff, on a legal sale, as ap
pears by the record.---" But it seems his father's ad
ministrators were told, that they must wait till he,
the heir, should become of age, before a deed could
be obtained; and now, being of full age, is deter
mined to defend his title." I readily agree with my
friend Isaiah that he is not only " now of full age,"
but was twenty-one fix or seven years ago; and fur
ther, that his father's administrators and himfelf have
been resident in and about this place before and ever
since he became of full age, and yet without being
able to obtain any kind of title, notwithstanding his
perseverance in a pretended claim. I would further
add, that my predecessors and myfelf have been in
full and quiet possession of said tract of land for more
than twenty years past, occupying and disposing of
the fame at pleasure, in the most uninterrupted man
nei.—Whoever will choose to become the purchaser,
may depend on receiving from me a fu fficient title,
and I will warrant and defend the fame against any
pretended claim or claimant.
