PROVIDENCE, June 24.
Extrafl of a letter from! the Committee of Correspon
dence at Plymouth to the Committee, of this town,
dated the zzd infant.
" We have a letter come to town from Saco, giving,
an account of two vessels, with provifionsfrom Gage,
under the protection of a tender, having arrived at
that place, in order to exchange said prov'f on for lum
ber ; the committee of that town considered of the pro
priety of fuffering them to trade, andjrom necessity were
obliged to admit them ; after this they difeovered great
partiality in regard to the persons with whom they con
tracted, which at once however they failed in ; foe
hove up her anchors, proceeded down the river, some
difonce from the town, where foe again anchored ; but
wasfoon so warmly attacked from the fore, as to be
oblifbed to flip her cables and pufo down; In her way
Jhe boarded afmall coafling Jloop, Capt. Tobey, from
Sandwich, and obliged him to undertake' the pilotage
of the vessel out of the river ; but before getting out
they boarded afcbooner, Capt. Avery, from Norwich,
and took him also on board; in the mean time the people
of Saco fitted out two armed vessels, which pursued the
enemy, and soon after getting clear of the land they
difeovered and made for each other; the tender did not
suppose them to be armed till they approached each other,
when the master threatened to dif charge a brace of balls
through Capt. Tobey, unless be would swear to take
up bis gun in defence of the vessel ; who replied, that
as be engaged only as a pilot, be Jbould rejufe.; the
mafler then excused him, and threatened Aver, in like
manner, and he was obliged to comply. The firft volley
from our armed vessels killed poor Avery, and the in
fernal Captain, which put the people into such conser
vation that they defeended into the bold, cabin, ^c. and
were boarded and carried into Saco ; the number of
men taken on board the tender is not mentioned ; fbe
bad 4 three pounders, 12 swivels, forty or fifty muftets,
as many cutlasses, and a number of pistols."

The Address of the Provincial Congress

May it please ,our Excellency,

G. WASHINGTON.
C API AIN Jonathan Maltre, who went express
from here last Sabbath, has this day returned •
from Watertown, which place he left last Thursday
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the ; intelligence
brought by him being so dire&, I thought it my
duty to forward it to you, which is as follows, viz.
Copy of a letter from Mr. Isaac Lathrop, one of the
Provincial Congress, at Watertown.
Watertown, June 22, 1775.
BEFORE this reaches you, you will doubtless
bearof the engagement of last Saturday, be
tween our troops and those of the army at Boston ;
but left you should not be well informed, I will now
undertake to give you as regular an account as can
at present be obtained. Last Friday evening a de
tachment from the camp at Cambridge, marched to
Charleftown, and there took possession of Breed's
Hill, about half a mile from the ferry; their in
trenching tools not coming up in season, it was 13
o'clock before they began their works : as soon as
day-light appeared they were discovered from Boston,
when the men of war at the ferry, the battery from
Cop's hill, and the floating batteries, kept up a con
tinual cannonading and bombarding, which fortu
nately did but little execution, although our intrench-,
ments were very far from being compleated ; this
continued till about two o'clock, when a large army
of between 4 and 5000 men, (as we since hear from
Boston) under the command of General Howe,
landed on the back of the hill, and marched up with
great seeming resolution towards our lines ; our men
reserved their fire till the enemy had advanced very
hear, when a general engagement ensued; the firel
from our lines was so excessive heavy, and made such 1
-The Snow Chrifty, from Greenock for Georgia,।
put into Sandy-Hook last Saturday, and landed 4.3
Pfflertgers I 'He is to depart with the firft fair Wind
for his destined Port. The Ship Monemia, Captain
Mo'rifon, was to fail from Greenock for this Port
the^th of May, with Ballengers.
The Provincial Congress of New-Jersey have ad
vised and recommended, That each Township or
Corporation in that Province immediately raise a
Company of 'BO Men each, with one Captain, two
Lieutenants, undone Enugn, &c. To defray such
Expence as may attend the fame, the Sum of £.10,000
is to be levied in the following Manner, viz.

Burlington, 1071 13 4 fdr fettling the quo-
Gloucefier, 763 2 8 ta's of faxes for
Salem, 679 12 0 each County ; and
a terrible daughter, ~s obliged the fenemy twice foJ
give way ; altho' many of their officers flood in the
rear with their swords pointed at their backs ready to
run them through. Our men kept up a continual
blaze upon them for about an hour, with such exe
cution as is scarce credible. The enemy then came
on the flasks, marched up, and forced their way over
the ramparts, with fixed bayonets, cutlasses, and
Jiand granados, which obliged our little brave army,
confiding only of about 500 men at mod, to retreat.
The town of Charleftown was fired in various
parts during the action, and is now confirmed to a
wretched heap of rubbish. I kept my ground at
Watertown ; but what with the thundering of cannon
and small arms, the conflagration of Charleftown,
the waggonsand horse-litters withwhe wounded inen
coming to the hospital in this town, and the ftreamirig
of expfeffes to and fro, exhibited such an awful
feene, as I pray God Almighty I may never again
behold. The brave and worthy Dr. Warren was
killed, stripped and buried within the intrenchment.
Our numbers .killed are not yet known, but by the
best account I can obtain, it will not much exceed 50,
and the wounded ihort of 100. Several credible
persons have since made their escape by water from
Boston, some of whom I well know. Ihe latest
out, lays, that upwards of 1400 01 the enemy were
killed anti wounded,, with 84 officers, and that 28
of our men were made prfoners, and the enemy had
buried 41 of our dead. All agree that the lot's of
the enemy in killed and wounded is more than 1000.
General Howe fays, you may talk of your Mindens,
*md Fon'tenoys, ,&c. but he never law nor heard of
such a carnage in so snort a time. All the surgeons
in the army, with what they could get in Bolton,
were notfufficient to dress the wounded. Although
they were 24 hours night and day in removing them
from Charleftown, with the affillanceof many of the
inhabitants of Boston, whom they prefled into the
service, many died in the ftreefs on their way to tne
hofpital.',
N, B. Dr. Mather had his whole furniture, with
hr library, plate, &c. consumed in the fire at Char
leftown. I have employed Mr. Samuel Perfield to
go with this, if you think it proper to forward this
account to New-York, he will be ready to serve ycu,
You will excuse my fending it open, asl think it best
for every one to know with what bravery our men
have affed, and how Godin his Providence seems to
appearfor us. Mr. Perfield will also hand you a
paper from Cambridge which contains some particu
lars., I am, in the utmost hade. Sir, your Friend
and bumble Servant,,
