TRENTON, April 7.
We hear the GENERAL ASSEMBL Y of this
state are notified by the Hon. the Speaker to meet at
this place on Tuesday the zoth instant.
We are informed that on Wednesday night last the
house of the Hon. Robert Ogden, Enquire, in Suflex
county, was broke open by a number of armed to
ries, who robbed him of a considerable sum in cash :
being pursued by a party of our militia, they betook
themselves to the mountains. Whether any of this
banditti have yet been taken we have not learned.
The account inserted in this Gazette of the 24th
ult. mentioning the arrival of a large body of the
enemy on Staten-Illand, aitho' roundly alferted by
many people at that time, proves to be premature.
Since our last Major-General Green pafl'ed through
this town on his way to camp.
Extract of a letter from Elizubetb-toivn, March 26.
" The enemy have an expedition on foot to the
eastward, and have taken with them every privateer
in the harbour at New-York. Their troops were
embarked from Long-Island. General Clinton, it is
laid, is gone with them. —Admiral Gambier, who
failed four days ago from the Hook, is arrived at
Rhode-Bland."
Our accounts corroborate those under the Philadel
phia head, of the loss of 14 of the enemy's trans
ports in the eaft'river, the failure of the above-men
tioned expedition, and the return of Sir Henry Clin
ton to New-York.
A correspondent, who has just derived in this state
from Virginia, informs us, that there have been lately
railed in that state upwards of 2000 men for the con
tinental service, who are to march early in this month
for camp. He further fays, " I have just fecii Capt.
Armitage, who made his escape from New-York on
Sunday evening the 28th ultimo, he fays that a re
inforcement is not expended there this summer, and
that the few troops who lately arrived there from Ha
lifax, have re-embarked for Georgia."
By two men who came here on Saturday last from
the Minifinks we learn, that a number of Indians
have lately committed some depredations on a small
settlement at Cubichtun on the Delaware; and that
another party of savages had, about a fortnight since,
carried off one prisoner, and a number of horses and
other cattle from the neighbourhood of Wyoming.
lOSEPH MILNOR has for sale at his store in Tren-
J ton, —Welt-India rum, hyfon,'coiigo, chufong &
bohea teas, sugar by the barrel, writing paper, the
belt velvet corks, bloomary and refined bar iron by
