The Virginians ihave compleated their quota
of §OOO men, who are marching in detach
ments of 500 men, to reinforce General Gates.
About 300 cavalry, under the Colonels
Whitp and Washington, left Halifax, North-
Carolina, a few days ago, to join General
Gates, at Hillsborough.

Extract of a letter from Albany, August 30.
" The damage done by the savages about
the iff infant, at Canajohara, is very confider
atle. They have burnt one church, one mill,
fifty-two dwelling-Houses, and forty-two
barns. They killed seventeen persons,
fix are miffing, and two were left scalped, not
dead. It is a deplorable fight to fee such fine
crop\ of wheat as are left Standing in the fields
in those parts, while the ewners are either kil
led, carried off, er obliged to fly and leave all.
NEW-YORK, Sept, 18.
Wednesday last arrived at San
dy Honk, Sir George Brydges
Rodney, Rear Admiral of Eng
land, with the following Ships
under his Command.

In Connedicut, we are told, there are very
great Commotions relative to a new Emission
of their Paper Money : It seems it was emitted
in that Province at the Request of the Con
gress, to difeharge a large Debt owing the
Farmers by the Purchasers of frefh Provisions
for the Use of Washington's Army.—This
Matter has been the Cause of much Confufion
in their Grat and General Court, as well as
in their Upper House, as they cannot give
their new Congo a Currency, and the Farmers
will not deliver their Cattle for any Thing but
hard Money.
We are informed, That some Words hap
pening a few Days ago between an Inhabitant
of Cunnedicut, and one of their new Allies,
that the latter killed the former on the Spot.
If General Washington's Army is now ihort
of Provificns, what Condition mull they be in
next oring, when we nt well assured from
every Quarter of the Country, that their Crops
are at ieaft one fourth worse than t'ey were
hli Year, ano a certain Portion of this Year's
Produce already tbr„fhed out for the Use of
the Army, and the Country in general ?
We are well assured that when General
Gates , arrived at Philadelphia from the South
ward, he acquainted the Congress that unless
an Army as numerous as that under the Com
mand of General Washington was sent to the
Carolinas immediately, all was over in that
Quarter of the Canonent,
The Congress has lately issued out an Order
to press Seamen from their Privateers, &c. &c.
in order to man their Frigates, and other Con
tinental Vessels of different Sorts, which has
caused much Murmuring among all Ranks of
People.
The Vessels taken at St. Martin's, from the
Rebels, were a Ship of 24 Guns, another of
20, besides two Brigs and two Schooners, all
full loaded with the belt Virginia Tobacco.
Since our lall his Majesty's Frigate the Iris,
has taken and sent in the Privateer Brig Hec
tor, Capt. Slover, of 10 Guns, from Phila
delphia. He run another ashore near Blue-
Point, on Long-Bland, and burnt her last
Thursday, but in all Probability the Crew has
got over to Connecticut or Rhode-Bland.
Another B ig (formerly the Haerlem Sloop,
of this Port) loaded with Flour, and a Ship
with 250 Hogfhcads of Tobacco, both from
Philadel hia, are also brought in by Admi
ral Rodney's Fleet.
Four Refugees that went over to Secacus
last Saturday, took Prisoners three Rebel Of
ficers, and brought them to Town Yelterday
Morning.
The snip Lyon, bound,from Charleftown to
Jamaica, having been taken by the enemy,
was happily recovered and brought to Sandy-
Hook by Admiral Sir George Rodney's fleet;
the perfect vidory gained on the 16th of Au
gutt by Earl Cornwallis over the rebel army
under Mr. Gates, is confirmed by this ship,
with the addition, that TWO THOUSAND
FIVE HUNDRED MEN were killed or ta
ken.—GATES is arrived at Philadelphia.

THE Barrack. Ma,er General having received
info?mation, that it has been the practice of many
persons to Inter upon the lands of others, and cut down
the wood growing thereon, under the pretence of their
being employed by him to furnijb the magazines with
fuel for ibe use oj his MajeJly's troops, gives this public
notice, in order to prevent such impositions in future,
and the more effe&uatl, to difeountenance practices Jo
p defrurfive to tbe intere, and property of the inhabi
tants oj tbe province, that no person has authority from
him to cut down the wood belonging to any person,
living either within, or without the lines, excepting
where a contrail is made with tbe legal proprietor or
bis agent; and, if an, perfan flsail presume, after this
publication, to continue in committing the trespasses
herein complained of, tbe owner of such lands who
may be aggrieved thereby, is requeued to give him
immediate notice thereof, that tbe complaint ma, be
regularly laid before bis Excellency Lieutenant General
ROBERTSON: But at tbe Jame time it is hoped, that
such persons who bave wood to dispose of, that they
will cheerfully exert themselves in furnifhing seasonable
supplies for tbe different posts, as a generous price is
given; and tbofe who will employ their vessels in
bringing wood to this city, ma, depend upon meeting
