The following is extrafled from the Freeman's Journal, a pa
per printed in Philadelphia, and saned Haraftncns.
These brave men, (the Pennsylvania hue)are much neglefted
after all the hardships endured last campaign in a climate very
unfriendly to northern conftittitions. Neither officer nor sol
dier, have received any pay for near one year and eight months,
only three months in Rate money, excepting the lift detach
ment, and the officers who were at the siege of York Town,
received zol. in goods, after the capitulation. At whit rate
the officers fold their state money lad Spring, is well known.
Few bad any money at the surrender of Cornwahis. Brave
men, in a strange country without money or credit! What
will be the consequences, time will make appear. Some of
the gentlemen have good possessions in their Own State, from
these thev were wont to receive remittances; but the inatten
tion of the legislators has excluded them from this small relief,
by confuting the profits in a tax. Some have wifes and fami
lies, the letters from these are filled vith disagreeable com
plaints. The collector repeats his visits like a quarteri ague;
money must be borrowed or property fold for three- fourths of
its value. Why must the army bear the burden? The Assem
bly might have returned home without their wages, and the
money m ; ght have been fem to the fuffering army. This con
duct would have been agreeable to many in the house, and has
been observed in'Tome States. But alas! how true that old
proverb, “ out of fight out of mind ?" It would be easy to
relieve the officers from the distress of the tax, by patting a law
that the commissioners of each county, fhuuld certify the tax
of each officer io the couniy, and this to be transmitted through
the different hands till it came to the officer who would gladly
receive it, as his family would be thereby saved from distress.

^prii 13. Extract of a letter from Lloyd's Neck ofthe B+h

we are informed, that a rebel armed brig arrived a few days
ago at New- London fi om Martinique, the Captain of which
reports that an engagement had happened between the English
and French fleets in the Weft-Indies, in which nine ihips ofthe
latter were captured; this person adds that the report is gene
rally credited in Conntfticut. We are not able to assert the
exad time when the New-London brig left Martinique, but it

Gen. Archibald Campbell, the Lieut. Goveruour; she is said
to be valued at i%oooL Jamaica currency.
