TRENTON, September 16.
About a/ fortnight since was brought into Egg
^rbour, a schooner from Jamaica, bound to New-
York, laden with spirit. Aifo a schooner from Nantz,
taken by a British cruizer, and retaken by an Ame
rican privateer. , „
A brigantine diredly from London bound to New-
York, with * very valuable cargo on board, was
brought into said port about the fame time.
Tuesday the 13th of Odober next is the day fixed
by the constitution, for holding the annual election
in the several counties of this State, for chufing Mem
bers of the Legislature.
Friday last came to town four Hessian deserters.
They left Kmgfbridge about 10 days ago, 111 com
pany with a number of others.
Since our last a number of recruits, light-dragoons,
passed thro' this place from Virginia and North-Ca
rolina, being on their way to camp.
Died suddenly, on Monday night last, Mrs. Eli
zabeth Van Court, the amiable Wife of Doctor
Moses Van Court, of this town, in the 22d year
of her age. Her remains were yesterday decently in
terred at the Old Presbyterian Meeting-houfo, on
. tiie Scotch Road, four miles from this place.
Saturday night last the fulling-mill belonging to
Abraham Skirm near this town, was broke open and
robbed of a number of dressed and undressed pieces
of cloth. This atrocious villainy was perpetrated,
it is supposed, by a certain Thomas Brooks, who
belongs to and is a deserter from our army. He
had been previously taken up and committed to gaol
in this town for desertion, and on suspicion of his
being a horfe-thief, but found means to make his
escape.
It was reported yesterday by a Gentleman from
camp, that the enemy had embarked all their heavy
cannon, baggage, &c. on board their traniports
withdrawn all the guards from their out-posts —and
that parties of our army had been a considerable dis
tance below Kingfbridge.
From a New-York paper of the 12th inst. we learn,
that a detachment of the enemy, under the com
mand of Major-General Gray, landed on the sth
riftant at Buzzard's Bay, and proceeded to the town
of Bedford, where they destroyed several vessels, &c.
and then went to Fair Haven, where they also burnt
a considerable number of vessels, (they fay 70 in the
whole) spiked 11 iron cannon and blew up a small
magazine. A true account of this expedition we shall
probably be able to give in our next.
In the fame paper, in giving an account of the loss
of their own troops in the action of the 29th ult. and
while our army remained upon Rhode-Ifland, they
acknowledge that it amounted to 260 killed, wound
'ed, and miffing. ______

dressed cloth, to a considerable amount. Said Brooks
