The above vessels are loaded with European goods
and Weft-India produce. Twelve more are expect
ed in a few weeks from the fame islands, so that we
hope soon, in spite of the hungry privateers of New-
York, and our more rapacious countrymen the /'pe
culators and monopolizers, to fee goods of all kinds
as plenty and as cheap (in proportion to the quantity
-of our money) as ever they were in former times.
TRENTO N, April 21.
Yesterday the Honourable the GENERAL AS
SEMBLY of this State met here.
Some days ago a Ihip, two brigs and a schooner,
arrived in Hampton-Road, Virginia, with a flag of
truce from New-York. They bring eloathing, bag
gage, wine, rum, tea, sugar, and £0,150 guineas, for
the use of the officers and soldiers who were made
prisoners with General Burgoyne, at Saratoga.
We hear that His Excellency the Ambaffadour
from the Court of France, will Ihortly make a visit
at Head-Quarters, and take a View of the Grand
American Army.
By a gentleman from Philadelphia, we learn, that
two prizes were a few days ago sent into Delaware
Bay by Capt. Douglass, the one a schooner with 135
hogsheads of rum, the other a (loop loaded with fah.
Saturday last a flag from Bermudas arrived at Phi
ladelphia, to represent the deplorable situation of the
inhabitants of that island for the want of bread, of
which necessary they Lad been destitute for fix weeks
previous to its failing, and to alk relief from the
United States.
We have the pleasure to inform the publick, that
since the late arrivals at Philadelphia, the price of
sugar has fallen £.30 per hundred weight, and that
of rum 30s. per gallon.
By a New-York paper of the 12th inst. we learn,
that Rear-Admiral Gambier, late commander in chief
of the British navy in North-America, embarked on
board the Ardent of 64 guns at New-York, for Eng
land. He is succeeded by Sir George Collier, who
lately arrived there from Halifax.
The fame paper informa-us that a party of twelve
continental troops, with an officer, were taken on
Bergen Neck and carried into New-York, on the 2d
inst. at night, by a detachment of the enemy that lay
at Paulus-Hcok.
