N E W-Y O R K, October 8.
Saturday afternoon a fleet of 35 fail arrived here
from Cork, which place they left the 18th of July:
On their passage the convoy took a ship fiom Bolton
for Cadiz, loaded with ftaves; and a ihip from Hl
- for France, with sugar, &c. both of which
were sent for Cork.
Saturday Captain Brown arrived here from Que
beck, in a brig, in 23 days: By him we Lave advice
of the f^e arrival at that place of the Britifli and
Cork fleets, three vessels only excepted.
His Majesty's frigate the Carrysfort, has taken and
brought into Sandy-Hook a large Blip from Bolton
for Martinico, loaded entirely with masts, home ot
them large enough for 74' s >. .
Saturday Morning last the ship Neptune, Captain
Rogers, arrived here from Jamaica in 45 days: He
confirms the account of the hurricane that happened
fit that island the firft of August, as mentioned in
this paper the 34th ult. The following relation of
that disagreeable disaster, is taken from the Jamaica
Royal Gazette of the 4th of August.
KINGSTON, in (Jamaica) Aug. 4.
On Wednesday forenoon a severe storm of wind,
accompanied with heavy and incessant rain, came on
here, and continued all that night, and a great part
of the following day: The wind during that time
veering from N. E. to S. E. It blew with such vio
lence during the night, that numbers of the flopping
and small craft in this harbour, and that of Port Roy
al, were driven on shore, and tome of them irreco
verably loft.—From the Hulks at the E. end of this
town, to Passage Fort, not less than 9 0 vessels of
different sizes are on shore, many of which have
sustained very considerable damage, but we have not
been able to colled their names, much less to ascer
tain the hurt received by each. Of the Fleet at Port
Royal above 30 are on shore from Passage Fort to
the 12 Apostles; among them are the Green Bland,
Watt; Carnatick, Gibbon; Mary, Frizwell; John,
Watson; Thetis, Hardy; Jamaica, late Grimfby;
Mentor, Whitefides; Kingston, Hurst; Orange-Bay,
Ross; London, Peck; Henry, Logan; Montague,
Casey; Arundel, Mann; George and John, Dears;
Chambers, Langley; Hope, Simes; Dispatch, low
ers; Friendship, Ronaldfon; Nancy, Brown; Fame,
Eaton; True-Briton, Stewart; Clarendon, Jordan;
Lark, Backhoufe; and Ransom, Bagnold; some of
them 'tis feared will never be got off, and others
will not without much trouble and damage.
The gale was severely felt at Savanna la Mar, where
three houses were destroyed, and several much da
maged. The canes, corn, and plantains in Weft
moreland are mostly destroyed.
August 11. The weather on Wednesday night,
with wind and rain, by degrees grew so violent, as
to alarm the whole of the inhabitants of this place;
they were no less concerned for their fafety, than
for the situation of the whole country, left it should
fall in some measure under a similar calamity to that
it had experienced after the third of October last;
by every account which has yet arrived from the
country, the damage done, though very great, is
nevertheless not so much as was at firft expected;
and we hope what further accounts we may receive,
will still make it less considerable.—Three vessels
have been drove ashore by the violence of the wind,
in the harbour of Martha-Brae; the ship Roebuck,
Williams, belonging to New-York, the sloop Beaver,
While we Ray'd in our habitations at Schenectady,
we saw little beautiful birds that came to us, and
acquainted us with what they had seen on the other
fide of the great lake. They have told us, that our
father and our mother are beloved by their children,
but that they had not yet got a son who might at
once become our father and the father of their great
family. Tell him that we hope they will loon be
blessed with a son, whom the children of our children
will call their father.
Father, . , .
When the French and the English buried their
hatchets in a hole as deep as the great lake, when
they broke their firelocks after the last war, the
French Governor assembled us and told us the fol
lowing words: " * Take this wampoon and preserve
" carefully these hatchets. Be always the taithtul
" friends of your father the King of France. He is
" obliged to leave you to day, and he advises you
" to live in peace with the King of England: But if
" ever he treats you in a manner contrary to the
" laws of justice, the King of France your father,
" or his warriors, will come to assist you by another
“ road."
-Father, . ,
We fee that thou haft not deceived us; we are
now returning to our country where we ihall main
tain the fire of our councils in a constant friendlhip
with our father, and inform our friends of what we
have seen and heard.
* Here the Indian-chief took out of a bag a large
wampoon, on the extremities of Which weie the
name of Louis and the figure of two hatchets. He
presented them to the Chevalier de la Luzerne that
he might examine them.
