, It is observed in the Fish-Kill paper of the 31st
ult. that “ the English nation, both church and
state, once avowed themselves the fubjedts of the
Roman pontiff: and this recognition of his autho
rity was not the effect of passion or necessity, but
the unanimous consent of the whole nation, for se
veral centuries ; long enough, in all confeience, to
establish the title of prescription. The authority
of the Pope, therefore, was lawful and binding to
all intents and purposes; and upon the avowed prin
ciples of that nation, nothing but the consent of
their sacred master could diffolye their allegiance.
But a haughty King, in the heat of private pique,

The French frigate Diligente has lately been loft
near the entrance of the Chesapeake.
We are allured from good authority that the
greatest harmony subsists between the continental
forces and thole of our illustrious ally in Virginia,
whom the typographical gentry in New-York, infti
gate'd by the spirit of malice and fallhood, declare
to be in a state of variance and enmity. What
they wish to be the case they publish, as usual, for
truth. The demeanour of many of the English
officers, prisoners on parole, lince the surrender of
Cornwallis, has been so preposterously arrogant,
foolifhly audacious, and childilhly impertinent on
sundry occahons, particularly to the officers of the
United States, whom they affect to despise, that
nothing but a republican generofty of spirit, added
to the confederation of their being prisoners, has
often refeued them, undeservedly, from a severe
and examplary cudgelling at the hands of several
injured individuals both French and Americans.
Nothing Ihows in a clearer light the baseness and
servility of spirit natural to the unprincipled nation
we are contending with, than their present cringing,
fhameful adulation to our allies, whom formerly
they loaded with all the opprobrious epithets poffi
jble for words to express; but they are desired to
take notice, that the French despise them as a peo
'ple to whom may be applied that worst of all cha
racters—insolent, cruel and tyrannical in prosperity,
and basely servile and mean spirited in contrary
jcircumftanc.es.
General Greene, it is said, has re-crossed the
Edifto and taken post at Dorchester, about 23
miles from Charleftown. The enemy have aban
doned Stono, and drawn in their advanced posts to
the Quarter-House, about fix miles from Charlef
town.
Yesterday arrived in this town, on its way to the
southward, a detachment from the French army,
consisting of three hundred Korle and the fame

On the night of the 26th ultimo, Mr. Abraham
Dyckman, one of our guides on the lines, with thir
teen volunteer horse, made a defeent upon the can
tonments of Delancey's corps at Morriffania, took
and brought off fix soldiers prisoners, and fix hors
es, without any loss. The enemy pursued, but the
diftingui'fhed bravery of this little party, prevented
their recovering any advantage.
B ALTIMO R E, Feb. 26.
The schooner Antelope, Capt. Folger, arrived
here on Thursday last, from Havanna; fire failed
thence on the iftinftant, in company with a Spanish
74. gun ship, and a French frigate. On the 9th the
Antelope captured a brig and a snow, part of an
English fleet from Jamaica, confiding of five mer
chantmen, under convoy of two frigates, the Pro
serpine and Ranger ; —at the time of the capture,
the remainder of the fleet were in fight, about two
leagues a-head, and the Spanish and French ships
the fame distance a-stern.—l he latter gave chace,
and in all probability came up with them. Captain
Folger manned the captured snow, and ordered her
for the Delaware, and gave the brig to his prisoners.
On Sunday last the ihip Venus, Capt. James Bu

by which lamentable event, 9 of her people perished.
The remainder were taken up by boats from the

faith, could wheel round into protestantism, rebel
against his sacred Lord, and be juftified by all
posterity: and posterity reason justly; for Rome is
ar a great distance from Great-Britain, and the
'Pope s government tyrannical ; it was therefore for
the interest of the British nation to be a separate
empire :—yet as the distance is but a fourth part so
great as that of America from Great-Britain, and
the claims of the Pope were never a fourth part so
illegal and despotic as those of George the ' third,
there never was the fourth part of the justice in
that nation's withdrawing from the jurisdiction of
the Holy See, as the Americans have in declaring
themselves independent of Great-Britain. but his
Holiness has long lince ceased to aflert his claims
to protestant kingdoms, from his inability tQ con

will renounce her pretensions to America, for the

A letter from Newbern, North-Carolina, dated
the 18th ult. informs, that the brig Jolly Tar, Capt.

from Cork to Charleltown, laden with 198 barrels
and 18 half barrels of beef, 490 barrels and 75
half barrels of pork, 304 firkins of butter, 500
barrels of heavy packed flour, 180 barrels of oat
meal, 200 boxes of mould candles, and a large
quantity of liifh linen.
Last Friday night arrived here a flag from. Be

We are told Sir H. Clinton lias obtained leave
to return to England, and is only waiting for his

county, dated February 24, 1782.
" Yesterday, in the afternoon, as the schooner
Kitty Meade, Capt. Callaher, from St. Croix, was
going up our Bay, she was boarded and taken by
the Refugees, near the mouth of Little-Creek.—
Capt. Callaher had one man killed, and himfelf and
fhree men wounded, one mortally. He received
his wound after he had given up his vessel, from the
hand of the Captain of the Refugees, who most
inhumanly, with a cutlass, struck him through the
nose, and more than an inch deep in the cheek, op
polite to where the wound began. The wounded
men are in Dover, under the care of Dr. Mollefon,
where 1 had an opportunity of conversing with
Captain Callaher this day." a
The Refugee boat by which the above schooner
was taken, is called the Ranger, and commanded
by one Jones.
We hear that the Sandwich packet arrived at
New-York from England a few days ago; and that
a fleet is also arrived at the Hook, but no particulars
are yet come to hand.
We hear that a party of refugees, to the amount
of upwards an hundred, under the command of one
Ityerfon, made an incurlion last week in the county
of Monmouth, as far as Colt's-Neck.—We have
not yet learnt what mifehief was done, but if we
conjecture from their former conduct, they have
probably, with their usual heroi/m, surprised some
of the inhabitants in their beds, and, what is more
probable, that they have, with Jingular bravery
and address, made sundry forties upon the sheep
and calves, making great numbers of them prijon
crs. —This, no doubt, will be ushered forth in the
Royal Gazette as a most glorious atchievement,
reflecting the highest honour upon British arms.
