It is a condoling consideration t 6 all the friends
of Zion,that whileErrour, Divifion,a Spirit of
£nthufiafm & Opposition to the regular Minif
<ry, and° the stated administrations of the Gos
pel prevail in many places, we fee Churches
planted in Gospel order, a regular Ministry
fettled, and a disposition to attend the stated
Administrations of the Gospel in their due or
der prevailing in other places,which but a few
Years since were overrun with the fame Spirit.
Thatan end may speedily be put to all Igno
rance, Delusion, Enthusiasm, and Superfti
tion,and that truth, purity, love and unity
may universally prevail among-all (he Church
es of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the sincere de
sire, and fervent prayer of all who wish to fee
the peace and profperi r y of Zion.

On Friday last, a very fever e northeast form
commenced, and continued until Sunday morning, at
tended, we bear, with much loss to the mercantile
intereJi.'
In this farm, the Jhip Rodney, of London,
Captain Whytock, which jailed from this port on
Tburfda, lafl, went on Jbore at Marfhfield, and
was entirely loft. She bad rid out the gale until je
ven o'Clock, on Sunday morning, when striking the
ledges with great force, her upper works separated
from the bull, and went on Jbore, with all thejbip s
company, who were thus providentially saved-r-
The Captain's lady,was among the number. The
Jbip was loaded with lumber, and bad a great num
ber of cattle and horses upon deck, all of which were
loft. The attention and affifance afforded by the
people of Niarfh field to the unfortunate, rtfea much
credit on them —and the commifferation Jbewn by the
publick on the loss, must afford much conflation to the
distressed. .
A brig belonging to Mr. Parsons, of this todvn;
we are told, is ajbore at Lynn beach, ans. two cou
plers in the outer harbour of this port.
By a late statement of the different tribes of
Indians in America, fit to bear arms, their
numbers amount to 58,930 —of whom, it is
computed, there may be about 35,009 war

From Richmond, November 16.
A gentleman from Charles City, has favoured
us with the following intelligence.
Afew days ago,jeveral Negroes were discovered
on a neck of Land near the river, belonging to Col.
Carter Jiealing Jbeep. The overjeer upon receiving
the information, armed bimfelf, and went in pur
the purpose of fending those they knew were
clandeftiriely supplying the rebel Negroes wi h
arms,ammunition,&c. prisoners to Europe. A
mong these, were Messrs. Cambejort, Towzard,
Rouget, Roche, Fontaine, &c. to the number
of for y three.
The General M. D'Efparbes; ordered out all
the regular troops in the Champ de Mars to op
pefe them,with which they were so exasperated
that they resolved to march and attack them.
A body of volun eers, called the Guhrdes
Nationales, commanded by M, Gagnon, joined
M. Camblefort, &c. to prevent their being car
ried off; but they were obliged to surrender.
Monsieur Gagnon was fho! through the head,
and fix others killed, and several wounded.
Monsieur Gognon was cut and mangled in a
most inhuman manner ; his eyes scooped out,
his head cut off, thrown up in the air, with
the cries of Five la Nation! and afterwards
kicked about like a foot ball.—The ^bble
then tore his clothesih pieces, dipped them in
his blood,tied them to their flioe firings, and
then exultingly paraded the streets with their
bloody trophies. Amongst the killed were
Messrs. L'^t/ff Fils, and Couret. In the af
ternoon,Monfieur Camblefort, his lady, Mon
sieur Foncard and their Officers, were sent oh
beard a man-cf war (L'America) under a
guard. The nexday the Governour, Messrs.
Roche, Fontaine, Pouget, and several others were
also sent on board he fame vessel—which we
are informed, set fail for France on the zzd.—
The 20th of the fame month was also sullied
by the assassination oftWo more of the Guardes
Nationals, and the seizure, or rather the rob
bery of 40 or 50 horses belonging to these
troops.:

suit of them ; on bis entering a thicket of weed, he
dijeovered that they were bufly engaged inferring
their plunder, but before be could take any Jh, to ap
prehend them, one of the ruffians fired and killed him
on the spot, and immediately moved off. A few
hours after the man was killed the neighbours were
informedof it ; who afembled, and sent an exprejs
into Chefterfield fro Mr. Burtcn and bis dogs,
(who were famous for Negro hunting) they arriv
ed early next day, and the party set out to faur the
woods ; they had not proceeded far before the dogs
got on the trail of a Ngro, which led them <0 their
encampment, which was filled with wheat and o
ther plunder The dogs again took a frejb feent,
when tbe,rty purjued and took several oftbegang,
and amongst them the murderer. The, afterwards
crossed the.river, and bunted the banks on the Chef
terfeWw^e, when several others were caught,
Amounting to about ten in the whole.
A refpe&able House in England write totheir
correspondent ih this city, (ofdate September
13) that it had rained almost constantly for
one whole month, which had injured the crop
of wheat toa prodigious degree, and tha?in
consequence thereof it was expelled the ports
in England would be opened. _
By Igentleman Immediately from Nashville, we
learns, that depredations are daily committed by the
Indians in the vicinity of that place—that a milita
ryforce was colteaed under General Sevier, who
was about to march into the Indian country ; and
that the people were high in the (xpeaation that So
important a blow would be flruck by this intrepid
arid gallantJoldier, as would secure to them the blef
ings of peace.

May le bad at this OFFICE,
November 24. —A Gentleman from De
troit, which place he left the to h Ofyber, and
on whose veracity we may depend, arrived in
town last week, has favoured us wih the fol
lowing intelligence, viz.
That the vast supplies brought tn the garri
sons of Detroit and Niagara, indicate a firm
de erminatibn of the British Court to hold
th fe posts in possession, unless compelled to
give them up by force :—That a constant and
regular communication with the Indians is
kept up, by which they are supplied with eve
ry necessary in abundance for carrying on the
war :—That the tribes in cohteft with the U
mited States, underftandihg the dispositions of
the Americans were for peace, were willing to
come upon terms of reconciliation ; for this
purpose, a council was to have been held on
the ift of Odober, at the Wameefown, about
60 miles from Detroit ; but the determination
of the Council had not arrived when the gen
tleman left that place.
He further fays, that it was the general opi
nion, that the Indians would make peace on
no other terms, than fixing the boundaries of
the frontiers along the course of the Ohio. He
had several hours conversation with Colonel
Brandt, on the fubjed, who, with about 30
warriours of the fix nations, were on th Jr way
to the Council; but were delayed fame time
by the indisposition of Colonel Brandt. Ma
ny of the warriours of the different tribes, he
was informed, were willing that the boun
dary line should so rtin as to include the towns
of Galliapolis and Marietta, and the country
immediately dependant on them ; but it was
thought the former opinion would prevail in
the Council.
