The following is the account we have
received of the excesses committed by some
officers of this garrison, on Friday night
last, from persons who were present:
Mr. Crawley, a housekeeper of Bride's-
Alley, returning from Liffey-Street, where
he had been purchasing a fire-lock, was
flopped near the corner of Chapel-Street,
in Mary-Street, by five officers, who,
fivearing he was a volunteer, infilled on
taking the firelock from him, which he
refufed giving up, they knocked him
down, and all crowded about him; cut
him in the head, and several parts of the
body, with their swords, so as to render
him a more mangled fpeftacle of barbari
ty titan has yet shocked the eye of huma
nity. They then proceeded up Mary-
Street, cutting every person they met,
particularly the infpedor ot the watch
(George Watson) whose wounds, if he re
covers, will render him a burden to so
ciety, and an objed of pity. Mr. Jack
fon,' of Bolton-Street, Mr. Curren of
o'clock in the forenoon of the fame day, and shew
cause, if any they have, why an alignment of said
Henry Smith's estate should not be made, and he
be discharged agreeable to the ad of the legislature in
such case made and provided.

Lancaster county, a negro man named Nat, a
bout 24 or 25 years old, 5 feet 6 inches high, has a
large nose, rather a yellow complexion for a negro,
and has a remarkable waddle in his walk, which
makes him appear as if he was wounded in the hips.
The fellow has a tolerable pleasing voice, and is ve
ry fond of singing. Said negro was bred up by and
purchased, about 4 years since, from a Mr. Wharton,
merchant in Philadelphia, with whom the negroe's
mother now lives. He is supposed to be gone to
