shortly to make an excursion from New-York to
Shrewfberry ; but, as their late disaster on the plains
of Monmouth must still be recent in their memory,
and as a considerable part of the American army is
now in this State, under the immediate direction of
the Commander in Chief, we presume there is little
danger: Yet it has been deemed proper to be pre
pared, and with this view, we are told an order has
been issued to drive off the cattle from the neighbour
hood where it is most probable the enemy may at
tempt to land.

ind Assembly, Sheriffs and Coroners, of the State of
r r H E inconveniencies attending the usual mode of
JL 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
fdbfcribers, 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 subscriber
for twelve papers shall receive two more for his trou
ble, and so in proportion for a greater number.
The fubfefiption-mone^ 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 compole each packet are expeCted to
pay by quarterly advances.
The several persons who become Subferibers to
the Publisher, will find a proper mode of keeping
accounts with those whom they engage for, exempli
fied in the accounts for the preceding year, which
will shortly be sent with the several packets.
The Publisher will be obliged to the several Gentle
men who collected fubferiptions for him the preced
ing year to continue their kind offices for the ensuing
on the plan now proposed.
If this mode can be carried into practice, the Pub
lisher agrees to lower the price of the Gazette to a
Dollar and an Half by the quarter.
It is hoped the above will meet the approbation of
the Publick as being more advantageous in every re
fpeCt than the other plan of publication. By this
means the Paper may be carried on without loss,
and the State served by a repository of Intelligence
and ufeful Knowledge highly interesting to all.'
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 carneftly requested that
all practicable dispatch may be used in fending in
the fubferiptions agreeably to the above Plan by'the
firft of January next.
The Publisher returns his acknowledgments to the
Pubiick for their great encouragment hitherto given,
in this arduous undertaking ; and he flatters himfelf
that, with their further assistance, the Plan which he
now withes to prosecute can be readily carried into
execution, which, as it will take less time, will enable
him to bellow more pains in collecting the most in
teresting and entertaining Matter for the benefit and
amusement of his Readers.

Extras of a letter from Elizabetb-Town, Dec. 6, 1778.
" Last Wednesday night a fleet of about sixty fail,
failed up the North-River, having on board the gre
nadiers and light infantry ofthe army, and two British
regiments. Gen. Clinton, Sir William Erskine, and
Gen. Matthews are with the detachment. About the
fame time a small fleet failed up the Eaff-River
What their design is, we have yet to learn —It was
conjectured that they intended to try to re-take the
last division of the Convention troops, or perhaps to
attack the fort at Weft-Point; but to-day we are
informed that the troops that went up the North-
River have landed at Tarry-Town; if so, I imagine
it is only a ravaging scheme.
“ P. S. The Commissioners have failed for England
in the Roebuck, and with them are gone Lord Corn
wallis and General Grey."
We are credibly informed that the enemy, men
tioned in the above extract, precipitately returned to
New-York; having plundered and carried off a few
cattle, hogs, &c. of which, it is said, they are in
great want.
It is reported that the Britons and tories intend
