immediately complied with. I then possessed myfelf
of a large stone house, well fortified for war — I was
immediately threatened by a man of the place, that
he would call in 150 Indians to his assistance and cut
me off. This fellow I took care to secure, but lay
upon our arms the whole night ; this being the third
night without any sleep. In the morning I required
them to take the oaths of alligance to the States, or
I should treat them as enemies, which they readily
agreed to, and before 10 o'clock there were 150 fol
lowed the example, and in less than ten days there
were 300 took the oaths, and now appear much at
tached to our cause. But as this is in so remote a
part of the country, and the Indians meeting with
daily fiipplies from the Britilh officers, who offer them
large bounties for our scalps, I think it prudent to
leave a guard here; and being anxious to do every
thing in my power for my country, in order to efta^
blifh peace and harmony once more amongst us, this
will engage my attention the ensuing winter. The
inhabitants ofthis country, upon the Miffifippi, have
without any kind of doubt, influenced the several
nations of Indians in this quarter, as also upon the
Ohio ; io that ere it be long, I flatter myfelf we shall
put a stop to the career of those blood-thirsty lava
ges, who glory in shedding the blood of the inno
cent. For farther particulars I must refer you to my
brother, the bearer hereof, and I am, &c.
TRENTO N, January 20.
A correspondent from Mansfield informs us, that
on the ad instant a certain Joseph Cattle of Philadel
phia, was apprehended at that place on his way to
the enemy in New-York via Shrewsbury, without
any passport ; and was committed to the gaol in
Burlington He had a number of letters with him
from tories in Philadelphia to their friends in New-
York; by some of which it appears that a constant
correspondence is kept up, and traffic carried on,
between the refugees in New-York, and difaffeded
persons in this State and Pennsylvania, chiefly by the
way of Shrewfbury. Magistrates and other officers
would do well to examine suspicious people travel
ling to or from that place.

THE inconveniencies attending the usual mode of
1 taking in or collecting fubferiptions for a News-
Paper, especially in times of publick commotion
like the present, have induced the Publisher of the
New-Jersey Gazette, upon consideration, to al
ter the plan upon which he proposed to proceed the
ensuing year when the advertisement in number 51
and 52 was given to the publick. To avoid the ne
cessity of opening accounts against the individual
subscribers, and the difficulties attending the settle
ment of numerous arrearages of small sums, he means
to pursue the following plain and easy expedient,
which will be more certain and cheap to his kind
Customers and less embarrassing to himfelf.
Every Gentleman who will become a fubferiber
for twelve papers shall receive two more for his trou
ble, and so in proportion for a greater number.
The fubfeription-money to be paid to the Publisher
by the persons engaging for the papers at or before
the expiration of each quarter; and, to enable those
to be punctual in making their remittances, the in
dividuals who compose each packet are expected to
pay by quarterly advances.
If this mode can be carried into practice, the Pub
liflier agrees to lower the price of the Gazette to a
Dollar and an Half by the quarter.
As it is of importance to know what preparation
ought to be made, and the number of papers which
will probably be wanted, it is earnestly requeued that
all practicable dispatch may be used in lending in
the fubferiptions agreeably to the ab&e Plan.

r I 'HE Subscribers having heretofore addrclled the
L good women of this State, intreating them to
save all the rags that they possibly could in their fa
milies, the smallest pairing being uleful in the ma
nufacturing of paper, which, as friends to their na
tive country, the subscribers hope they have paid at
tention to. Therefore as a farther inducement to
them they now promise One Shilling per pound for all
clean linen RAGS they deliver at any of the places
mentioned in the former advertisement.
They would offer to the consideration of those
mothers who have children going to school, the pre
sent great scarcity of that ufeful article, without
which their going to school would avail them but
little ; which the subscribers hope to have it in their
power to remedy shortly, if aided by their exertions
in procuring that fundamental article, rags; the
utility of which is evident to every thinking mind,
and needs but few words to convince them of it.
STACY POTTS,
JOHN REYNOLDS.
N. B. As it is in the power of the Storekeepers
in the upper part of this State to collect a great
quantity of rags, by receiving them of the country
people as they bring them in, the subscribers would
be glad to supply them with any kind of paper or
pasteboard in exchange for the rags.
