The Ship Pcifeverage, horn

Sept, and on the 21st saw ten
failof large vessels, fooo afterwards
perceived tour others following
them. At sunset one of the lat
ter hauled her wind, chafed and
boarded the Perseverance ; the
proved to be the Braith brig Sylpb,
Capt. White, who informed, that
the ten fail of veffeli we had ken,
were a fhlp of the line and nine
frigates (French) full of troops, &
foppofed bound to Ireland, or the
Weft-Indies ; and that the 3 fol
lowing them were British frigates ;
and that he was dispatched to the
Admiral at Cork, to keep a gtod
look out for them.
Dr. Logan arrived in this
town on Saturday evening,
and is said to set off for Tren
ton yesterday morning, with
dispatches, of which he is the
bearer from the French Di
redory.
By a gentleman of this city from the
westward, we are informed, that as some
peddling merchants (four in number)
who have families and sustained reputa
ble charaaers in the town of Suffield,
where they originally belorged—were
out on a pedddliog voyage to the weftern
part of the State ; put up at inn in New-
Hartford, where they quaffed so freely of
the Weft-Indian spring, toasting success
to democracy, &c &c. that they soon, as
the phtaife is, became, " cherry merry,"
still plying the landlord for snore liquor ;
who, by this time, thought proper to
withhold his hand, and refufed them any
more. On which they " jaw ceremenie,"
seized on his outward man, stripped him
“ purie natiralibw" and then turned him
out of his doors. He soon colleaed assist
ance & returned back again to his house ;
when a desperate & most violent resistance
was made by tie villains to his storming
the Castle, and before they were quelled,
in the rage of intoxication, those drunken
desperadoes struck two of them, and
fractured their heads in a horrid manner ;
one of whom, who will most probably
die, has since been trepanned, and 19
feperate pieces of the skull extracted ;
(besides beating in the ribs of a third.)
The other was to undergo the operation
of the trepan the day following, when
our informant left the place I They have
since been taken into custody, secured,
and escorted to the " strong hold," with
a guard placed around the fame, where
most probably they will take up their a
bode for the present, and adjourn their
political voyage to another feafoo!
