C A London Paper of Nov. 8, fays, a
Soldier was lately flogged for reading
Paine's Rights of Man. This render
ed all his Comrades anxious to fee the
Book, and may inspire some of them
with the erroneous Idea.that they have

From Capefrancois, December 15.
66 It is now near a Month since we
have been possessed of Occanaminte
and Mount Pele, where we have de
ftroved Numbers of the Enemy —
Porr de Paix will soon be restored to
order : The Inhabitants in that Quar
ter have united themselves with the
Troops stationed there, and have be,
gun an Attack on the Brigands, whom
they have already driven into a Situa
tion from whence they cannot Escape ;
they muff either throw themselves into
the Sen, dr surrender at Difcrecion.•
The Troops have sworn never to re
turn until they have extirpated the In
surgents; : during their march of 25
Leagues, they have loft only two
Men : Mr. Pagot, who Commands
the Camp of Occanaminte, has lately
experienced a new Instance of Treach
ery from'the Brigands, in that Neigh
bourhood ; a few of them came to him
with Proposals to furrendec=chey were
followed by a large Body, who, after
having been coritluaed into the Camp,
agreeable to a Complot formed^mong
them, immediately revolted ; an At
tack was made at the fame Time from
without : This unfortunate Credulity
has cost-us 25 Menfamong
were 15 Invalids. Mr. IP4GOT was
wounded in the Adion.
"The 12th Instant we were alarm
ed by an unfortunate Difficulty with
the People of Colour ; It was, how.
ever, immediately suppressed, and sev
eral Soldiers of the Cape Regiment,
who had refufed to submit to the De
cree of the 4th of April, and were the
Authors' of this Uneasiness, were im.
mediately embarked. A general At
tack will take place next Week."
From Baltimore, January 2g.
Yeflerday Morning, at half past 4
o’Clock; about two Miles from this
Town, the post Boy carrying the Eas
tern Mail, was flopped by a (lender,
well dieffed armed Man, about five
^eet ten Inches high, with a round
Hat and a dark geac Coat, who or
dered him co light or he wou!d blow
his Brains out ; on which the Boy got
off the Horse, and' was ordered to go
on ; the Fellow mounted and rode to
wards Town until became to the Road
which leads to Mr. Andrew Va^
Bibber's Place, when the Boy loft
Sight of him,; f•
Sooh after, a Negro Man, belong-!
fog to Mr. William Smith, Rope
maker,going to work espied the Horse,
and feeing that the Straps which Secur
ed the Portmanteau were cut off,
followed the Track a fmal| Distance,
where he found the Portmanteau cut
open and some of the Letters torn and
fcatered about.
He immediately gave notice of this
to the Postmaster, who speedily took
Measures for the Detention of the Per
petrator, but heithe^to without Effe&.
The Letters violated were examined
by a Justice of the Peace and PoftmaC
ter ; by whom we learn that among
them were several containing Money,
&c. to the Amount of about £2BO.
A Man is since lodged in Jail on a
strong Suspicion of being the Robber.
• A Compromise has lately been made
between the Whites and Blacks of Port
an„ince—by ^ the Servitude of
the latter is rendered more tolerable
than formerly.
Mr. Bradford,
YOUR Infartpaht, who so wittily
and so prettily in the Gazette of the
firft Instant, {fee the Mirrour of
the iith Inftant] pouttrays a Detach
ment of the festal Troops, .which ar
rived at Fort Washington on the 24th
ult. should havetold the whole Truth,
and informed.the"Tublick, that- this
Detachment was Ordered to that
Post, to receive their annual Al
lowance ofdoathing ; if he will now
revific Fort Washington, he will find
these 6 fyM„@fa,,’ as he is pleated
to call them, as well eloathed as any
Kfflafy Beau.
The Interrogatories and remarks
which follow this Information, are
readily answered, and without having
recourse to the National Legislature.
Mr. Russell;', . ;
IT is thought by a Number of Inhabitants
that the -
Hon. PETER GREEN, Esq.
is full as suitable a Man as any we have among
us to represent th|s Town in the Gen. Courty
and that he would be very serviceable to us, if
we should choofe' him for our Reprefenta ive.
His former Services are too well impressed on
the Hearts of his grateful Townsmen, to. need
recapitulating. He always contended for the
Honour and best Interest of his Constituents, ;
and none cab charge him with Neglect or Du
phi/y—And let me ajk my Fellow townsmen, if
we do not now need fach a Ma^fo plead our
Cause in the General Court ?— It may be ob
jeded by some, that his late Indisposition has
rendered him u^fit for the Office — But the free
Electors of Concord are assured from good Au
thority that he has recovered his Health so far
as ,that he is as capable, of sustaining the Of
fice with Propriety now, as ever he was. And
for my Part, I am ready to think, that, should
wefhpofe him, the Interest of Concord would
be attended to quite as well as it has been for
these two Years past, A VOTER,
. jlnd Wellwifeer to the Town.

iff. The Publick did engage Cloath
ing; to these Men, as a Condition of
their Inlitt men*
2dly. The Money was advanced to
„purchase this Cloathing.
gdly. It was received by the Persons
who furnifhed the Cloathing, and of
Confequenc^ no Misapplication could
take Place, and .>
4<hly, Thii Cloathing hath been
detained at Pittsburg; during the Sea
son, by the State of the River; which
has been unpavigable.
Your Correspondent, Sir,- should
have made himfelf better acquainted
with Fads, before he fee out as a Par
agraph Writer—Had this been the
Case, he would have known, that the
Army which assembled at Pittfongg,
are in a high State of military Perfec
tion, and instead of dissipating their
Time at that Place, have for fever,!
Weeks, been tufily employed, hutting
themselves, at the Place called Logflo#,
twenty two Miles below Pittfatrg.
}He would also have known, that
not a single federal Soldier, has pad
the Hoof (to use his own elegant
Phraseology) from Fort Washington
to Fort Jefferfon, for two Months
past, and that it is riot probable they
will do so for two Months to come;
Whether the Secretary of War de
serves the publick Confidence or not,
will Toon be made Apparent, as his
Conduct js now under kvere Scrutiny ;
and tbofewho knew him best, can
have no doubt, that the Shafts and Ar
rows pt Makyolep.ee, which ,have been
let off atehim,will Recoil With redoubt
led Force against hk Perfecotors.
As to ,he Commander in Chief, if
foamy a hard fought Day, if Laurels
gathered frem the Cannon's Mouth, if
the Battle of Monmoutb, pr the dattnt
fefs and focceteful Assault of Stag
Point, give him a Tide to the publick
Confidence or Brilliancy of Character,
he ,fared(y deserves both. Z,
