TR ENTON, February 5.
Last Friday came on, in the Court of Admiral
ty, the trial of the sloop Diamond and schooner
Dolphin, said to have been captured in the Nar
rows the Sth December last by Capt. Nathan jack
fon, in the armed boat Greyhound.
A claim had been put in by David Formrn, Es
quire, of Monmouth, in behalf of the state, on a
charge of collusion ; on the trial it appeared, that
the said Captain Jackson failed from Egg-Harbour
about the latter end of October, in the said boat,
manned with three men besides himfelf, and armed
with one swivel and two mulkets; that he went
the next day openly into New-York with his boat,
and remained there until the 7th December, and
that evening boarded the Diamond, then lying
about Red-Hook, furprized the crew, and took
her ^without opposition, continuing on board her
until the next evening, when the Dolphin came
down, and was taken in the fame manner. They
were both condemned to the claimant. We are
informed the account of sales of the above vessels
and cargoes amount to £. 10,500.
“ On the 21st ult. died in this town, Mr. Ro
bert Rofbrugh, of Somerset county, in the Both
year of his age ; and we hear from Lambdton, in
said county, that his son-in-law, Mr. David Hen
ry, died there on the Thursday following, in the
56th year of his age.—They were both very honest
men, refpedable citizens of this state, and zealous
friends to the American cause—they lived esteemed,
and have died lamented."
O Ca/h for Mr. Morris's notes. Enquire of
the Printer.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.
By Captains Griffin and Marshal, just arrived
from Rhode-Ifland, we have received the following
important intelligence, viz. That on the 22d ul
timo, a re-taken brig from Cape Francois for Pro
vidence, was sent into Newport, on board of which
was found a letter from the Captain of the Lion,
British ship of war, to the Admiral at New-York,
informing him that he had spoke with a vessel from
Europe bound to the Weft-Indies, the master of
which acquainted him that there had been a bloody
conflia between the King's troops and the volun
teers of Ireland, in which Lord Albemarle, at the
head of his regiment, fell; that there had been
great Daughter on both sides; and that the people
of Ireland were in the greatest ferment, uproar and
confufion
tamely pleasant and elegant. The manufactures of
fine and brick. The works of the artificers and
laboratory; and, in short, every thing is conducted
ir. such a manner, as to promise the most perma
nent aid exclusive publick utility."
Hand-bills, containing this information, together
with other interesting extracts from the letter, were
immediately published and distributed at Newport.
The above prize was re-taken by the schooner

A choice trad of land.
TO BE SOLD,
A TRACT of land laying on both sides of Pau
linfkiln creek, Sussex county, and within three
miles of the river Delaware, formerly surveyed and
returned for 900 acres, with the usual allowance,
but is supposed to contain upwards of 1000 acres.
The quality of the land is extraordinary good for
wheat, lies level, and is very free from stones, and
easily worked; it may be conveniently laid out into
four or five plantations, each to have a front on
the water, as the creek runs nearly through the
middle of the trad. There is a good and conve
nient landing on the creek, about a mile and a half
from the land, where Durham boat# of any burthen
may load, and rafts may be floated down to Phi
ladelphia. There are on the land three well im
proved plantations, now in possession of Samuel
Bonham, John Puffon and Ralph Bruglcr, whose
leases expire next spring. A considerable deal of
upland, and some meadow already cleared, and
much more to clear. The pleasant and convenient
situation, the good quality of the upland, meadow
land and bottom ground, must always render thia
trad of land equal, if not superior, to any of the
fame extent in Sussex county.
The subscriber would with to fell the whole to
one person ; or, if too much for one, to several,
who would jointly purchase, and agree to divide the
land to suit their own convenience. As the whole
of the land may be cleared, the purchaser or pur
chasers can be supplied with a trad of timber-land
which lies very handy, at a very cheap and reason
able rate. The payments will be cafy ; the title is
clear. For further particulars, and terms of sale,
apply to the subscriber living in Kingwood town
fliip, Hunterdon county.
