American Intelligence.
N E.W-Y O R K, January to.
THE general assembly of Connecticut finilhed their session
at Hartford, on the 23d ultimo. The confirmed re
volt of the county of Vermont had been recommended, as
a principal objeCt.of their deliberations ; but Colonel Ethanol
len and Mr. Seth Warner, principal actors in the late prudent
decision ofthat territory in favour of our old Coriftitution, ha
ving a considerable interest in this body, the members in gene
ral, far from going into a formal investigation of the matter,
freely declared an approbation of their measures ; and thus it
was entirely dropped, much to the chagrine of all the inflama
tory spirits in the Eastern Provinces.
Last Sunday arrived in town, about 150 German, and other
troops from Rutland, chiefly Brunfwickers ; they had long
been prisoners, and were ill treated, but are now happily re
lieved by an exchange in a flag from New-London.
Yesterday at five o'clock in the morning died, Dr. Peter
Middleton, a native of North-Britain, and a Physician of
eminence in this city ; he was a valuable member of society,
and a gentleman of a very extensive acquaintance, by whom,
as well as the numerous poor ofthis country (to whom he was
ever very itind) his death is most sincerely lamented.,
January 13. On Wednesday a subaltern and about thirteen
privates, were brought prisoners to this city ; they were a
guard at Amboy, and taken by surprise thro' the alertness of
the garrison on Staten-Island.
The following is extracted from the Pennsylvania Journal, da
ted January 2.
“ All accounts from our judicious friends in Europe agree,
that Britain is determined hill to prpfecute the War. She can
not, they fay, bear the thought of giving independence to these
states. She will not endure to hear of a peace dictated by
France, and grounded upon the basis of the treaty of Paris.
The Ministry have taken great pains in getting a Parliament to
their mind. The acquisition of Charleftown they confidet a
pledge of the conquest of all America, and are determined still
to persevere in exerting every nerve to bring us to their feet.
The United States can expert no peace, while a British army
possesses any part of their territories. Every thing calls upon
us to put our own army on a more permanent footing than
ever it has yet been. A good army during the war, is, under
Providence, our only security. We have been too dilatory in
a matter of fuchvaft importance. Nothing rouses us but de
ftruCtion at the very door."
On Tuesday last departed this life, Mrs. Alice Hamilton,
wife of Colonel Archibald Hamilton, commanding Queen's
County Militia, and tyand Daughter of the late Lieutenant
Governour Colden, aged 37. Of manners gentle, cheerful,
affable, and endearing! As a daughter, dutiful and loving!
As a wife affectionate, constant, sincere, and attentive ; as a
mother, tender, careful and indulging; and as a mistress, ge
nerous, pleasing and engaging.
She is gone with all these perfections, and left a most dis
consolate husband, and afflicted family, to bewail their loss in
her gain.
January 17.. Ever since the defection of the Pennsylvania
line, the rebel newspapers have bpen very reserved on the
fubjeCt, as the printers are sensible, the mention of it would
greatly discourage the new inliftments for their army in the
several colonies, which is at present a leading object of their
attention.
From the Connecticut Journal.
Boston, January 4. Last Thursday morning an affray
happened ata house on Minot's T.between a number of French
and American failprs, in which a young lad belonging to the
Alliance frigate was stabbed through the body, of which wound
he immediately expired; several others were also badly wound
ed. A jury of Inquest being summoned to fit on the body
of the deceased, brought in their verdict, “ That seven French
men were acceffary to the death of the deceased."
A Bloody Massacre surely Mr. Hancock will exhibit
another Oration to illustrate this happy event of their alliance
with France,
Charlestown, March 7.
A PILOTBOAT arrived on Monday from Wilmington.

A vessel arrived here from the Weft-Indies just as this paper
was going to press.—We have been favoured with the follow
ing extraCt of a letter received by her.
Extract of a letter from St. Euftatius, dated the 15th of
February.
" Admiral Rodney and General Vaughan took possession of
this Island the 3d instant, together with all the vessels in har
bour, amounting to 40 American and 100 Dutch merchant
vessels, and a Dutch frigate. Three days before the British
fleet arrived, 20 Dutch merchantmen failed under convoy of a
64 gun ship, on board of which was a Dutch Admiral. Three
74's were immediately detached by Admiral Rodney in quest of
them—one of the 74's came up with and engaged the 64,
killed the Dutch Admiral, took the ship and all the convoy
but two vessels, which escaped."
