A detachment of Virginia continental infantry,
commanded by Col. Heth, and some of Col. Baylor's

time another body of American troops arrived at the
boundary line, which divides the two Carolinas.

CHARLESTOWN, February 4.
The fleet which we have had frequent intelligence
of collecting at Sandy-Hook, failed from thence on
the 24th of December last. Tt is said to have confin
ed of more than 140 fail, about 50 of which were
empty victuallers and merchantmen bound to Europe.
By what we can learn, the Russel and Robufte, of 74
guns, the Europa, Defiance, and Raifonable, of 64,
the Renown of 50, the Roebuck and Romulus, of 44,
and two frigates, failed with the fleet. Of the trans
ports three, viz. the brig Lady Crosby, and the sloops
Swift and Henry, have been brought in here. Off
Cape Hatteras, about four weeks since, they met with
a severe storm, which separated the fleet, and obliged
fte two Hoops, as well as most other vessels having
horses, to throw them overboard.
The common report is that there were 94 vessels,
including the men of war, bound southerly, having
on board a large body of troops, some fa, Bcco, un
der the command of Sir Henry Clinton, or Lord Corn
wallis. The place of rendezvous, in case of separati
on, was Tybee; at least the vessels brought in here
had such orders
Two 2 deckers and a frigate, have been seen off
this bar several times within this week past ; and a
number of heavy guns have been frequently heard at
night, and during the hazy weather we have lately
had, supposed to be signals from the men of war to
the scattered vessels as they may fall in with the coast.

Yesterday arrived here the brig Patty, Cap. Prowle,
from Calais, which place he left on the 20th of Nov.
last in company with the brig Achilles, Capt. Thomp
son, for this port, and loft fight of him on the 2d
of December near Teneriffe. Capt. Prowle in latit.
26: 39, long. 38: 27, fell in with the brig Stardigo,
Capt. Webb, from Salem, New-England, bound to
Martinico, and being short of bread, sent his boat on
board and received one barrel of flour from Captain
Webb, but the sea being very high rendered it im
possible, without great danger of the people's lives,
to fend the boat back to pay for it, for which they
fired several (hot at him. On the 27th of December,
in lat. 33 : 9, long. 61 : 4, Capt. Prowle, met with a
very heavy gale of wind at N. W. and a high sea,
which obliged him to heave all his guns and a number
of other things overboard. And on the 16th of Fe
bruary, in lat. 26 : 34, long. 69 : 4, he fell in with the
snow Wolf, of io four-pounders, James Ewinv,
matter, from Antigua for New-York, loaded with
rum and gin, which he boarded and took.
The brig Industry, Capt. Collins, belonging to this
port, was a few days ago carried into New-York by
o^c of his British Majesty's flrips of war.

county of Burlington—l the underwritten fubferiber
take this method to inform the public that the said land
originally belonged to John Porterfield in see-simple,
and after the death of my grand-father was regularly
attach'd by my father as lawful executor of my de

of my said grand-father from the said John Porterfield,
and, according to a regular course of law, was fold by
the then fheriff, Joseph Hollingfhead, at public sale,

dying before he received the fheriff's deed for the said
land, his administrators has since been told that they
must wait till I, who was the heir of my deceafcd fa
ther, should become of age —Therefore being now of
full age, do forewarn all manner of persons frorp pur
chasing the fame, as I am determined to defend my
title against any claim founded on any attachment
made on said land to answer any other debt of said
Porterfield since it was fold at public sale, as above.

The feats eternal of the just,
That happy land where Indians go,
The brave, the gen'rous and the wife,
Who pradife all the good they know;
In rural walks, and flow'ry fields,
For ever green, for ever gay,
In lovely groves and blooming bow'rs,
To pass the chearful time away.
Sweet birds, melodious, too fliall sing
Their warbling notes the groves among,
While crystal streams roll gently by,
And murmur music to each song.
There winter's chill ? nor summer's heat,
Nor storm shall rife, nor thunders roll,
For all the land is fill'd with peace,
And rapture glows in ev'ry foul.
Afeend, O heav'nly Hope afeend!
And anchor there the foul secure,
To ride this boift'rous sea of life,
And gain at last that peaceful shore.
