PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5.
On the 28th ult. Congress appointed EBENE
ZER HAZ ARD, Esq. Poft-marer General, and
JAMES BRYSON, Efq.affiftant Poft-mader Gen.
We hear that Congress have reduced pottage to
the peace price.
Yesterday died at the barracks of this city, Lieut.
OLIVER JANKS, of the Rhode-lflahd forces,
beloved by his friends and his soldiers. He was one
of those who early entered the Service of his coun
try, and defended her rights in several battles, par
ticulaily at Red-Bank, where Count Donop and
the Hessians fell, before the prowess of a few brave
men. His corfe was attended to the Presbyterian
burying ground, by the regiment and a relpedful
number of citizens, who paid this lad ad of friend
fnip to the memory of the brave, with a suitable
solemnity.
Early on Sunday morning, the 20th ult. died
at his house in Gloucester county, New-Jersey,
BODO OF TO, Esq. an eminent physician, fin
cerelv esteemed by a numerous acquaintance, and
whose death is universally lamented. The day fol
lowing his remains, boine by four officers, were in
terred at Sweedfborough, attended by a great cou
courfe of the molt relpe&able inhabitants of the
county. Eulogies on the dead are generally flatter
ing, and meant for a compliment to lurviving friends;
but on the present melancholly occasion it may be
said, without violating truth, that by his decease
his children are deprived of a tender parent, his
wife of an affectionate husband, and the state of a
most valuable member of society. Firmly attached
to the liberties of America, and a strenuous affertor
of her independency; he early took a decided part
in the present contest; and, by the unanimous voice
of the county in which he lived, was pointed out as
the intrepid soldier and patriotic Senator. He ac
cepted the appointments, and difeharged the duties
of the one with honour to himfelf, and of the other
with fatisfadion to his constituents. While ap
plauded by all for his publick conduct, the unavail
ing sorrow of his friends, and the sighs of the dis
tressed, evince the amiableness, and will remain the
best and most lading monuments of his character in
private life. The former he ever received with
hospitality and warmth of affedion; and the be
nevolence of his heart taught him to feel and re
lieve the miseries of the latter. To him then,
whose life was a constant series of good adions,
death could have no terrors. He bore a lingering
illness with patience, and resigned his breath to God
who gave it, with the fortitude and constancy, not
of a philosopher but of a sincere chriftian.
laden with lumber and naval stores.—The Amazon
was taken after a levere conflict oftwo hours, with
in pistol (hot, in which Capt. Munro was wounded,
and two of his men killed; the enemy's loss is not
known. Capt. Munro, with his prizes, arrived at
the Cape the 27th of November.
Extract of a letter from Cape-Francois, dated
December 17.
“ Several Spanish ihips of the line and frigates
have just arrived here, and brought in three prizes;
one of them coppered, carrying 26 guns, and 150
men."
CHATH A M, Feb. 6.
On Tuesday the 29th ult. James Morgan was ex
ecuted at Wedficld, pursuant to his leutence, for
the wilful murder of the Rev. James Caldwell. A
sermon upon the occasion was preached by the Rev.
Jonathan Elmer, from Jer. xliv. 4. “ Oh! do not
this abominable thing that I hate."
We hear from Monmouth that on Friday evening
the Bth inftaat, about forty refugees, commanded
by one Stevenson, a Lieutenant, came over from
Sandy-Hook, across the Gut, and thence into the
country to a place near Plealant Valley. —They vilit
ed the houses of sundry persons in the neighbour
hood, from whence they took off upw irds of twenty
horses, five sleighs, which they loaded with plunder,
and eight or nine prisoners, namely, Hendrick Hen
dricklon and his two sons, Garret Hendrickson,
Peter Covenhoven, Esq. Samuel Bonne and son, and
Jacques Denice.—They then made oil with their
prisoners and booty. At Garret Hendrickson's, hav
ing entered the house and made him prisoner, they
went to the barn to take his horses and sleigh. In
the mean time two young men, his son and one
William Thomson, who slept in the second Itory of
the house, being awaked by the noise below, secreted
themselves till the enemy were gone to the barn, and
then came down, escaped and went to the house of
Capt. John Schenck, of Col. Holmes's regiment,
whom they alarmed about an hour and an half before
day. This gallant officer immediately collected a

together to follow him, pursued the refu
rout they had taken, and arrived at the Cut just as
they had got the prisoners, two or three ot the
horses and a small quantity of the other plunder
carried over. He immediately attacked those which
were with the remainder of the horses and plunder,
and after a few fires, in which Unfortunately young
Mr. Thomson fed, and a Mr. Cfotterel was wounded
in the knee, he made them prisoners 'to the number
of twelve, three of whom were wounded. Captain

who had remained behind to secure the retreat and
favour the pallage of those who were before. A
firing immediately ensued 011 both tides, but Captain
Schenck ordering his men to charge and give the
enemy the bayonet, they thought proper to throw
down their arms and submit. This rencounter being
altogether unexpected, eight of the prisoners hrtt
taken found means to escape. Captain Schenck was
