TRENTO N, March 24.'
We learn that a few days ago a large body of the
enemy from New-York arrived on Staten-I(land,
where tiiey have collected a number of waggons,
&c. as tho' they had a plundering expedition in con
templation: In consequence of which a strong de
tachment from our army, under the command of
General Muhlenberg, marched from Middle-Brook,
in order to counteract any designs the enemy may
have in making another descent into this State.
By an express from Baltimore, who pafl'cd through
this town on Sunday last, we are informed, that on
the 18th inst. the day he left that place, it was re
ported that fix of the enemy's ships were coming up
Cheafepeat-Bay, which alarmed the inhabitants of
that town so much that the merchants were packing
up their goods.
We hear Major General Arnold hath obtained leave
to retire for a-while from the duties of his Nation,
to take charge of his domestic affairs. During his
absence the command, it is said, devolves on General
Hogan.
Sunday evening last a heavy northeast storm of
wind, snow and rain came on, and continued till next
morning, when it abated ; which has probably done
great damage to the enemy's vessels on our coast.

To be fold by public vendue, on the 33th day of
March inst. on the premises, those valuable works
known by the name of the Union Salt-Works, on
Manafquan rfver, in the township of Shrewsbury,
county of Monmouth,- and date of New-Jersey,
together with dll the utenlils thereunto belonging.
7 'HE works consist of a boiling-house, about 90
-L feet long and 33 feet wide, in which are five
copper and four iron pans, the copper weighing up
wards of soocib. four of which pans are round, a
bout 6 feet diameter and about 12 inches deep, the
other about 13 and a half feet long, 6 feet wide, and
14 inches deep.' The iron pans are made of wrought
iron plates near a quarter of an inch thick, two of
them are about 12 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 14 inches
deep ; and the other two are each about 16 feet long,
6 feet wide, and 17 inches deep; all of which are
fixed in the best manner for the business of salt-boil
■ ing. Adjoining to the boiling^houfe is a convenient
Rore-houie, capable of containing 800 bushels of salt,
and contiguous thereto is a pump-house in which
are two pumps almost new, by which the water from
the bay is conveyed either immediately into the pans,
or into a covered cistern holding about 150 hogsheads,
at times when the water is saltest, and from thence
let into the pans.
The lot of ground whereon these works stand con
tains about five acres of good laud well fenced, on
which are also creeled a dwelling-house, stables,
smoke-house and other buildings, which are very
convenient. The dwelling-house was lately erected,
being about 35 by 24 feet, two stories high, with a
cellar under the whole, and an excellent pump of
frefn waler at the door. —The stables are likewise
new, capable of holding about ten tons of hay, a
considerable quantity of grain, and room fufficient
for sixteen horses.
Will be dilpofed of with the above premises about
i6c, acres of land, wooded mostly with oak, about
two miles and an half from the works.
At the fame time and place will be fold about 20,000
good bricks, two hotfes, a cow and calf, a good
waggon well ironed, a large well built scow, two
battcaux in good repair, a quantity of old iron, and
several small bars of blistered Reel; also houfhold
goods and kitchen furniture, consisting of four fea
ther beds with suitable bedding, bedheads, with
many other articles.
The works and buildings are pleasantly situated on
the river aforefaid, (which abounds in plenty of filh)
about one mile from the main ocean, commanding a
fine profped, and in short these works are allowed by
competent judges, who have viewed the different salt
works on the ihore, to be equal if not superior to
any in this state.
And on the 3d day of April next, will also be dis
posed of at public Vendue, a grist-mill and saw-mill
situate in Hornor's-town, in the township of Upper-
Freehold, and county aforefaid, on a fine dream of
water; together with about 14 acres of land, part
whereof good meadow, on which are erected a very
commodious dwelling-house, two stories high, a
good kitchen, and a convenient store for dry goods
adjoining the fame : Also a large store-house conti
guous thereto, suitable for many purposes, a -barn,
died and several other buildings, all very handy and
convenient for carrying on business extensively.—The
grid-mill confifta of one pair of stones and two boult
ing-mills, in tolerable good repair, capable of doing
a great deal of business, having seven feet head and
fall, and a constant dream in the dryeft seasons, being
in a good wheat country amidst a number of wealthy
farmers, and a healthy situation.—The saw-mill is.
in good order, well fitted for sawing a large quantity
of timber, having the fame advantage of the water
as the grist-mill.—A tumbling dam was ereded in
the best manner, and well secured with piling at this
place last summer, which is fufficient to vent the
water in time of great frefhes. These mills are dis
tant from Bordentown about 14 miles, and from the
above fait-works about 30 miles, from which a sup
ply of grain may be furnifhed.
At the fame time and place will likewise be disposed
of at public sale, seven very good team horses, with
suitable gears, two sour-horse waggons well ironed,
and sundry other articles. The conditions will be
