We hear that Colonel Martin will shortly meet
the Creeks to enter into treaty with them. The
seceding 'Cherokees appear very solicitous to make
peace since the expedition against them from Caro
lina, in which they have had their towns burnt,
and their flocks carried off.
It is said that General Arnold is frequently clo
fetted by the British Prime Minister, and is to
have the command of a considerable armament to
a& in this State early in the spring.
B A LTI M 0 R E, November 26.
Captains Thomas Reade, and Gibbes Jones, of
Philadelphia, who have been prisoners with the
enemy at Charleftown, yesterday arrived here from
that place in 20 days. These gentlemen are of
opinion, that American colours are now flying on
the fortifications of that capital, it being the avow
ed intention of the enemy to evacuate it on the
25th instant (yesterday) if not sooner; for the
completion of which business, filch preparations
had been previously made, as IheWed, beyond a
doubt, that they were in earnest.

troops under convoy of 3 ships of the line, and
were daily arriving in port when the last accounts
left Martinico.
to injure it.
Its present flourifhing situation, arising from the
assiduity and attention of the directors of the last
year, in placing it upon so respectable an eftablifh
inent ; became so strikingly apparent to the body of
stockholders, that the following vote of thanks una
nimously passed.
“ At a meeting of the stockholders of the bank of

It mud give the publick particular pleasure, to

the most sanguine expectations of its best friends.
Individuals as well as the community, have received
the greatest advantages from the effects of its ex
tensive operation, and notwithstanding the many dif
ficulties it had to encounter from the prejudices of
partial or mifinformed persons, it has r<fe supe
rior to every effort of open or concealed enemies
TRENTO N, December 4.
On Friday night, the 22d ult. Captain Ri hard
Sdter, in a brig belonging to New-Hampshire, but
last from Montferat, with a cargo of Rum, bound
for Virginia, was drove ashore, in a gale of
wind, on Abfecom Beach; it is thought the most
of the rum will be saved, but the vcffel is loft : She
left Montferat the 4th ult. but was taken offthe capes
of Virginia by the Amphion frigate, who put a prize
matter and eleven hands on board, and ordered her
to New-York. The prize-master and hands were
made prisoners by the militia and sent to Philadel
phia.'
Captain Salter, of whom we get this intelligence,
further inform;, that before he left Montferat, certain
accounts was received there, that the Marquis de
Bouille had arrived at Martinico With upwards of
150 fail of transports, and eight or ten thousand
troops, under convoy.of four fail of the line —and that
the Count de EGaing was hourly expected with 10
or 12 more capital Grips.
The above fleet, captured off St. Lucia, a large
British transport, with troops on board, bound for
that port.
We are informed the following pretty manoeuvre
was put in practice not long since in- New-York:
A few days before the last fleet failed Jemmy Ri
vington publifned a Gazette Extraordinary, contain
ing a most pompous account of an action, said to have
happened at sea between the grand fleet of Eng
land and the combined fleets ot France and Spain,
in which the former had come off victorious, and
had captured and funk fix of their enemy's capital
Blips, requeuing the inhabitants of the town to illu
minate their houses, and informing them that superb
fire-works were to be played off upon the common
on the joyful occasion ; this drew many of the jolly
tars upon the common to view the entertainment,
when, in the midst oftheir mirth and fquibing, a prefs
gang, prepared for the purpose, to their inexpressible
amazement, ftept in and swept off about 500 of them.
The next day Mr. Rivington in his paper acknow
ledged the Information to have been premature.
We are told, that Sir Guy Carleton will shortly
return to Britain. He goes home in disgust, con
ceiving himfelf illy treated by the Miniftry,™ who di
rected him on his arrival, to declare in effect that
Britain was heartily tired of the war, and was read,
to make peace with us almost upon any terms what
ever. —He as well as we have found it a dirty de
ception, much beneath the dignity of a great and
powerful nation; but which, however, is perfectly
consonant with the rest of their conduct for the last
seven years.
From Rivington's Gazette, of the 27th ult.
Last Sunday the schooner Lively arrived here
from St. Lucia in 22 days, we are informed his
Majesty's ship Arfo had carried into that port a
French Grip armed en flute, with stores and 250
troops, it is said this proved to be one of a fleet,
bound from Old France to Martinico, soldiers,
stores and provisions, convoyed by two Grips of
force, and that the several British men of war at
St. Lucia, on this intelligence immediately took a
station off the Isle de Ramiers, in order to inter
cept them from reaching Martinique.

ly determined on the evacuation of the town, which
was to take place about the 25th instant. All their
cannon were flipped, and every other preparation
made that indicated such a movement.—it is not
doubted, even in New-York, that the British forces
have left it before this.
Five of the villains who robbed Mr. Ball's house
are secured in Burlington gaol, They prove to be
from New-York, which they left but a few days
before the robbery, and had their passes from Da

Some of their plunder is also sound.—These fel

fore the Legislature of this Gate, setting forth
the necefhty and publick utility of forming a new

For the good of the Publick.
QUINTA effentia cortices Americani, or the
quintessence of American bark, is an extract
of the said bark prepared with considerable labour
and expence, very serviceable in many diseases ; it is
a gentle purgative, carries off all billious and other
noxious humours ; is an excellent preservation against
the piles, and a certain cure thereof: It is likewise
of great utility to persons afflicted with the Fistula,
Abfcefes, and other complaints proceeding from in
flammations ; it is an approved remedy for <worms,
both in adults and children: It is an excellent bit
ter when dissolved in water or wine, and mixed
with any liquid: It is also a preventative and cure
in agues, intermitting fenders, &C. and has been found
by experience to effect a cure when Peruvian bark
has failed.
This very ufeful medicine is prepared by Peter
Low, and fold at his house in New-Brunswick, and
by Mary and Sarah Barnes, nearly opposite the Print
ing-Office in Trenton.
N. B. Three or four pills is a dose for a com
mon constitution, and one or two for children :—
Make the pills about the size of a large pea.
It may be taken with the greatest fafety, as it is
free from any mercurial, antimonial, or any other
poisonous quality—'tis simple and innocent, so that
if it should in lome cases not prove serviceable, it
will not in the least degree prove prejudicial.
The most proper time for taking them is either
late at night, or very early in the morning.

a reasonable rate. gw ,
