thediftreffed family, especially a widow of
unblemished life, from whom was taken a
tender husband, whpfe death was lament

fions of heart felt sympathy uttering forth
these words, Ifreely forgive tbe debt, almost
to the astonishment of the hearers. But,
justice, benevolence, &c. being his agree
able companions, I shall conclude with
these words:

former war in Flanders was to give the
people an opportunity of gaining their
liberty—They rejected the opportunity
and are noteworthy of the cause ; and as
Flanders is the feat of the war, and a shel
ter to the combined forces, they will plun
der and destroy every town they enter that
belongs to it. A small village was burnt
by the French, called Furnes, ten miles
distant from Oftend, the evening I arrived
there ; 13 villages were set on fire at once,
and burnt to the ground, near Landre

heavy loss of men and artillery.

" Imuft once more inform you of our
situation—this day arrived here an ex
press from the Cornplanter, who brought
a letter that Brandt sent him, reprimand
ing him for fuffering the United States to
build garrisons at Lake Erie, therefore it
is thought here that we ihajl be a,backed
very shortly. We are very much surprised
that the militia is not ordered to relieve
us, for. it is as much as our lives are worth

On the 13th of May last, the advanced
guard of an escort of 70 infantry and 18
dragoons, under the command of Lieut.
Clark, having in their charge 7.9 horses
belonging to the contractors and the
auartermafter general's department, were
Suddenly attacked by a party of Indians,
who killed the corporal and 5 of the men,
by the firft fire.
The dragoons who were in the rear of
the advance party, headed by Lieut. Lee
of the infantry, charged the Indians, and
put them to flight before the infantry
could come^up, killed one Indian, and
took fix rifles, some blankets and provis
ions.,
The army were to he, reinforced by
mounted volunteers from Kentucky, and
would probably soon move forward into
the Indian country in considerable force.

FROM PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 28.
We have it now diredly from a quartet
on which reliance can be placed, that
Governour Simcoe has actually invaded
our territory with three Britilh regiments,
and this intelligence appears to have been
received with the most fhameful apathy.
What, if Britons chose to think it neces
sary to have a post on our coast fay New
port, as a shelter for her whipping, and to
watch our merchantmen, left they should
infringe the ftatu quo, by carrying on a
trade not consistent with the. newest law
of nations, as lately laid down by them ?
Why, the whole atlantic coast would be in
arms ; but as the encroachment is on an
other frontier, we preach patience to un
fortunate citizens who are at the eve of
being slaughtered by a barbarous foe, in
confequencc of their invasion.
By accounts from various quarters it appears
that great damage has been juflained from hur
ricanes, bail forms and frofts.
We underhand that the follo-wing was the on
ly material occurrence that bad taken place
with the troops under Maj. General Wayne,
when tbe express that arrived on Tuesday
evening at tbe War Office left Head Quar

DIED, at Pembroke, on the 29th alt. the
wife of Mr. Robert Fife, after a fart and ve
ry violent fit of sickness. From fame particu
lar circumf antes relative to her fauation and
feknejs, it was fufpeaed that clandestine means
were ujed byfome of her relatives to put an end
to her life. This being reported, excited so much
uneasiness in the minds of the townspeople,that
it was thought advijeable,for the fake of giv
ing fatisfaaion,to take the body from the ground
for the purpose of enquiring, as far as possible,
what might be the cause of ber death. Accord
ing!) ° n Friday morning last fee was dug up
and opened, in the presence of a number of pby-
Acians, who, after basing regularly examined
the bowels of the bell, and breast and from the
livid appearance of the stomach and external
teguments of the breast, neck and face, gave it
as their opinion, that she died of a mortifi
cation in her stomach.
The above operation was performed by
Dr. Hazletine, of this town, with so
much skill and activity as gained him the
applause of every physician present.
THE President of tbe United States hav

By a gentleman from Hartford last Mon
day, we have been favoured with the fol
lowing very interfiling piece of News :
An officer of our Weftern Army arrived
at that city a few hours previous to his de
parture, who brought advice from Phila
delphia, that Gen. Scott had been there
to get permission from the President to
raise 2000 volunteers from Kentucky to
join Gen. Wayne, and go against the In
dians ; and that he had actually received
orders forraifing that number, and had
received money from the Treasury, for
the purpose, after the rate of ONE dol
lar per day per man, with positive orders
to join Gen. Wayne's army, and proceed
to the Miami, and demolish the British
works there, and drive the garrison from
our territories. That the Rationing a
garrison on the Miami, is considered by
the Executive and by our Army as open
hostilities!! - "calra."

The Commander in Chief thinks it bis day
to call on all the officers of the militia, to exert
them,elves in theirfeveral flations, so that the
wbcle militia of this flats ma, be in reading
for the defence of our common country. —Peace
maintained on terms honourable, is to be most
ardently desired, but at the fame time the alarm
ing circumflances of War in Europe, the inju
ries done our commerce, and other circumfanc
es, make it our duty to be in a complete condi
tion to preserve and defend ourjelves agaityl
every injury to which we ma, be liable as a
nation., , —e
When the Commander in Chief takes a re
trofpeaive view of the late revolution, corfid
ers the many services done by the militia of
Newhampjhire, and in particular tome aaions
of great importance to the nation, b&cannot en
tertain a doubt of their making all necessary
preparations for war, in hopes of preferring
peace, or of their aßual e)ccrt:ons in raroar, if
the means used by our nation for peace jhould be
Jruftrated.
The officers and soldiers have now an oppor-
tunity of /hewing their patribtym, lovefor our
common country, and a sacred regard for the
great privileges we bale enjoyed as a nations —
andfor which many of them, as well as others,
have heretofore fought and bled.
