New-York, June 5. Saturday morning last the Providence
brig, in his Majesty's service, of 12 guns, and 56 men, Lieut.
Verdin, Commander, .arrived here from Penobfeot, in eight
days. The 20th ult. he took and brought in with him the
brig Fanny, Woodbury, master, from Beverly, for Uifpani-.
ola, loaded with fifh and lumber.,
The fame day was sent in here by some of his Majesty's
fliips, the rebel privateer sloop Phoenix, William Wattles,
master, from New-London, on a cruize, 17 days out, but
took nothing.
The fame day also a cartel arrived here from Bolton with
prisoners, among them was the mate of the ship James and
fabecca, Captain Harden, from Liverpool for this port : He
failed the 27th of March, but on the 28th of April, lat. 40,
long. 39, was taken by the rebel privateer Franklin, of 16 guns,
aftera hot engagement of two hours ; but five days after the
James and Rebecca was retaken by an English man of war,
and the privateer with difficulty escaped.
A letter of marque from the Continent; bound for France,
much about the fame time, took a vessel, and falling in with
the Franklin, put some of the prisoners on board her, who
said they were from Cork.
A number of whaleboats from Cbnne&icut got into the bay
at Blue-Point last week, and took olf one boat, plundered
some others and robbed several people- ashore of considerable
property: This soon obliged a party of the militia to follow
the crews of four boats down to the Canoe place, where they
last Thursday morning furprized them in their nest, killed
one, wounded another, and made the whole party prisoners,
and brought off the four boats, with 30 stand of arms; &c. &ci
Part of the prisoners are now in the Sugar-House,
Baltimore, (Maryland) June 5. We hear a letter has been
received by the legislature of this State, from the'Honourable
the Continental Congress, requeuing them to fend two gentle
men of the firft abilities to their body, to assist in business of
the highest importance.—lt is said this requisition hath been
made in consequence of a letter received from Colonel Lau
rens, at Paris. What this business is, time will unfold—at
present the publick are of opinion that it is relative to a Nego
tiation of Peace, to be set on foot between the belligerent
powers ; and that France is desirous of knowing from the
Grand Council of America, what will be their Ultimatum on this
important fubjedt.
On Friday last General Wayne's division of continental
troops, confiding of 960 effectives, crossed Potownriack at
Nowlane's Ferry, about 12 miles from Frederick-Town, on

On the fourth ultimo Brigadier-General M'Lean, Comman
der in Chief at Halifax, (Nova-Scotia) died there.
The brig Unity, of 14 guns, Capt. Brown, with a cargo of
103 hogffieads of tobacco, bound for France, was lately taken
in Chesapeake-bay by the British frigate Guadaloupe, and sent
to New-York.
By a gentleman from Fredericksburg we are informed, that
the main body of the British army (confiding of about 6000)
Wider Earl Cornwallis, were, by the latest accounts, at Ha
nover Court-House ; that several detachments of this army
lad destroyed large quantities of tobacco, &c. at Page's and
Ayletfsware-houfes; and that the Marquis de la Fayette was
'bout thirty miles north-westward of the enemy,' expecting
thearrival of General Wayne, with his division.
'Chatham, (Neau-Jerfey) June 6. We have received no

hfeKill and Morristown, and carried into New-York.
Philadelphia, June 13. On Sunday arrived the brig Allday,

Kerfeymire coattee, waistcoat and breeches, a drab coloured broad
cloth ditto, with old spangled buttons, a hat with a yellow band,
and the crown covered with the ficin of a large bird; as both the
suits of clothes were made for me, they are considerably too large
for him. This being the fifth time of his having eloped from me,
without any cause, and for which he has never received any punish
