When the Fleet that arrived here last Tuesday,

ready far Soa at Spitbead, 6 Sail in the Hmbuur
that could put to Sea on 4 Hours Notice, 10 Sail,
betides Frigates, were cruizing on the Ceafts of
France and Portugal, and above 20 Sail metre were

Five Sail es the Line, betides those here already,

about the firft of April.
The Fleet was convoyed by the Isis, Swift, Bute,

By Accounts from feme Perfohs who have lately
seen the Rebel Army, we undefftand, that Mr.
Wafliington has called in all his Out-Posts, and is
removed towards East-Town on the Delaware, with
the greatest Part of his Force, in order, 'tis apprehen
ded, to proceed to the Southward ; that Mr. Putnam
was let out for Peek's Kill, and that Mr. M'Dou
gall was gone fiom the last mentioned Place to Morris
Town.
The Commander in Chief, Sir William Howe,
has been pleased to appoint His Excellency Governor
Browne, to the Rank of Brigadier General.
On Friday lad the Letter of Marque Ship Paoli,
Capt. Maddock, of sixteen 6 Pounders, and 50 Men,
arrived here from Liverpool, in 7 Weeks, but brought
no English Prints : He fays, that the Second Divilion
of the Fleet had foiled from the Downs for America,
and likewise 16 Ship^from Glasgow.
On the Parage Capt. Maddock fell in with, and
sent his Boat on board several French Vessels from
the Weft-Indies for old France, who treated him
with the greatest Civility, and offered to supply him
with any Thing they had on boatd, expressing their
Wishes at the fame Time for a long and lading
Peace with Great Britain.

Mr. GAINE,
JUST before I left England, a French Letter was
put into my Hands, by an eminent Merchant,
of which the following is a Translation. The Gen
tleman desired mt to uie the molt likely Means to
make the Person interested, acquainted with its Con
tents ; I know no better Method than this I have
adopted : As I have every Reason to believe your
Paper will penetrate to the Southward, where I hope
it may fall into the Hands of some Person whale
Benevolence may induce him to put the Matter in
such a Track that Mr. Schomaker, or some of his
Descendants may be informed of the Circumstance.

SIR,
, “ Ido not know whether you have received my
'former Letter of 4th O&ober, 1774. 1 request you
will as soon as polfil>lc inform the Revd. Mr. Daniel
ScheYnaker, cf Weifenburg Township (who was
Mihifter of the Gospel at that Place four Years ago)
or his Defeendants, that they mult immediately fend
their Power of Attorney to enable me to receive from
Messrs. Peter His and Sons, Bankers at Hambro,
before the 4th July next, 11,400 Marks Banco, left
to the said Mr. Schomaker, or his Heirs, by the late
Mrs. Marie Elizabeth Heybruck, born Bene, Mo
ther of the Did Mr. Schomaker. This is an Obje&
of Consequence, and I fear if his Power of Attorney
does not arrive about the 4th of July, he may net
have a Farthing of the Money. This Metter has
been frequently advertised in various News-Papers,
but without the desired Success : Be pleased Sir, to
write to the Post Matter, er some Person of Note,
in or near Weifenburg about it ; to my Knowledge
he was there in 1773, and had then five Children.

To Mr. NO R T ON, Surgeon, in Golden Square.
SI R, Londoit, Sept. 20, 1765.
I HAVE at last the very great Pleafurcot ac
quainting you that I am perfectly recoveted
from my late Llods by taking your Drops, arid
perfiftirg in them since the firft of February last ;
as this Remedy muff be of great Benefit, to the
Public, in Judice to them and to you, I here
fend you the particulars df my Distemper, for the
Peruial of all such as chufe to be informed of the
Certainty of their Effefts.— In the Years 1758
and 1759, I was attacked by a violent Scurvy,
having no Part free frtim Pimples, Scurf, or Ul
cers, but the Palms of my Hand, my Face and
Bieaff ; attended by a total Want of Appetite,
Sleep, and Spirits; to such a Degree was I af
flifted, that 1 wifned myfelf c/ead, having fol
lowed many different Pre'criptiQns to ho Manner
of Purpose. From this Situation I was relieved
by an old Woman, who undertook to cure me ;
and accordingly all this was carried off by the
Juice of Herbs, preceded by violent Bleedings,
followed by Diet r Drinks and outward applica
tions, when I was, to all outward Appearance,
well for about a Year, but ever,fince I have been
ailing without any viable Signs, being greatly
distressed by Want of Sleep, great Lowness of
Spirits, and Loss of Appetite ; when, about six
teen Months since, I was suddenly taken ill with
the most Iharp and acute Pains in my Back and
Side ; this was followed by.violent Inflammati
ons in my Eyes, fweiling cf Limbs, &c. I kept
my Room three Months before I could flir; was
sent to Bath, found a bad Effea frem the Wa
ters : a Humour, after my Sickness, fell into my
Heel, I was ordered to pump, but all to no Pur
pefe ; at last I could neither walk nor ride, when
I was advised to blister it, and half a Pint of the
most corrosive Matter came out, but was thirty
Days a healing, on account of a violent scorbutic
Habit the Surgeon then saw I was in. As soon
as healed, I went out, and returned Home with
my Leg greatly inflamed, not being able to stand
upon it or kneel ; I was then kept in Poulticed
for a Month, from my Knee to my Heel, before
I could walk; I then to all Appearance, was
outwardly well, but still violent low in Spirits,
Want of Appetite, Sleep, &c. It happened, I
read your Advertisement in the Bath Papers, and
making the ftri&elt Enquiry, on the Spot, of
Mr. Atwood's Cure, I found it attested by every
one there. I came to London the latter End of
January last, have taken your Drops ever since
the firft of February ; a Week alter 1 began, it
drove out the Humour in the small of my Leg,
and in different Parts, from my Heel to some
what beneath the Calf, and upon the Back cf
both my Hands; the Matter that came out cf
my Leg was so corrosive, that the Cloth that was
on, when washed, became fall of Holes, the
Matter or Spots could not be waflied out, but
burnt the Piece out. This Humour has gradual
ly come out, crutted, and then peeled off, and
has slowly decreased in Violence, until it came to
mere Water, and is now perfedEy healed : My
Hands were Locking to the Sight, but dried by
Decrees, then peeled off; more came out, and
went off in like Manner fucc'ffively, but have
been well long since, and I am now well recover
ed, my Strength is returned, my Spirits good,
my Stomach the fame, and Sleep well ; in short,
I thought myfelf so bad as obliged me to leave
the Service, despairing entirely of a perfect
Recovery.
I have nothing farther to add, than that I am
molt sincerely obliged to you, not only for the
Recovery of my Health, for your very genteel
and disinterested Behaviour, but also for your
plain Dealing and Truth ; my Distemper having
taken the Course you have, from Time to Time,
told me it would; and, if it is in my P&wer ever
to be of any Service to yo^, I (ball be happy in
an Opportunity of convincing you how wuch I am,
Sir, your very obliged bumble Servant,
