NEW-YORK, July 21.
We aretredibly informed that the northren Array,
under the Command of his Excellency General Bur
goyne, laid Siege to Ticonderoga the 2d; and carried
the Fort the 4.tb instant; and that a great Part of Mr.
Wallington's Army ate on their March to the North
ward, to prevent their penetrating farther into the
Country.
Betides the foregoing Account a Perfen arrived
here Yesterday Morning from a Place called the
Cross-Roads, 6 Miles to the Baftward of Fort-Ed
ward, which he left lad Thursday Week, and con
firms the Account @ : the Evacuation of Ticonderoga
by the Rebels, they having left behind them all their
Baggage and Artillery, and that feme Officers be
longing to them, supposed French,immediately went
over to General Burgoyne's Army, the Van of which
the 9th Inst. fell in with a Party of Rebels, and
killed 75 of them, besides wounding Cel. Renfellaer
in the Thigh, which is said to be broke.
The above Perf®n heard nothing of any Engage
ment at Fort Anne as has been reported, between the
King's Troops and the Rebels, but fays, Albany
and all the adjacent Country is abandoned by those
who brought on the prefect Rebellion, and many of
the poor deluded Inhabitants left to fhift for them
selves.
A letter from Falmeuth, dated May 21, 1777, to
a Merchant in this City, fays, “ The French Court
has delivered up the Harwich Packet, taken by an
American Privateer, aad confined the Crew of the
latter looking upon them as Pirates."
Intelligence was brought to Town on Tuesday last,
by a Veflel from Rhode-Ifland, that Mvjor General
Prefcot, Commander in Chief of his Majesty's Troops
Rationed there, had been surprised and carried ff by
a Party of the Rebels, who crossed in Boats Pom the
Main, in Confcquence of Intelligence being sent
them by some Incendiaries on the Island, of his un
guarded Situation. It appears that th? General was
feme Miles from the Encampment, and, fd far from
being apprehensive of Danger, had placed only a fm
gle Centinel at the Door.^-We hear that Major
General Pi ot is appointed in his Room, and has
embarked for Rhod^-lfland, to take the Command.
The Brilliant of 36 Guns, brought over 200 of
the Royal Artillery, and many more of the fame
Sort are daily expe&.d.
A Party of about i3OO of the Rebels came down
as far as Eaftchefter Town last Monday Night, un
der the command of Mr. Cortlandt, in older to at
tack the Port at King's Bridge : In ihrir Way they
fell in with two Tories, one of which made his
Efeape, the other (named John Green) was pu.fu:d
by a Party of Horse, who soon came up with, filed
at anl killed him : They Stripped him to his Shirt,
and robbed him of about £. 70 in Gold.---This
heroic Action being completed, they returned to
the White Plains in great (Triumph.
Another Party of the R.bels came down through
the EnJifh Neighbourhood left Thursday, and car
ried away about 4 Performs who they fufpe&ed were
not friendly to their C use : They w^re to be carried
before their titular Governor Mr. LNingftun, at
Morris Town, where we hear Mr. Washington has
left two Brigades, re being gone with the Red of his
Army toward, P<mp'on, and a Place called Smith's
Clove, about 15 Miles from Hackenfack, and 8
Miles W I of Hudson's River.
The Brune Frigate, Capt. F rgufon, has tak n a
valuable Brig loaded with Dy Goods, Arms, &c.
bound from the Weft Inches for South Carolina,
and carried her to St. Augustine.
His Majesty's Ship Solehay,' Captain Simmonds,

with seven Sail under his Convoy, loaded with Rum
and Sugar for his Majesty's Service. Iwo Days
ago Capt. Simmonds took a Rebel Schooner from
Barnegat, in New-Jerfev,bouhd for the Weft-Indies.
Captain Simmon is failed from Jamaica the 9th of
June, with 112 Sail, under Convoy of the Lively,
Kent, and Porcupine, but parted from them with
his Convoy the 6th Instant, all well, having got
happily through the Gulph in 19 Days.
•His Majcity's SI ip the Glasgow has lately carried
into Jamaica, eleven Prizes in one Cruize; and two
Privateers, one of them was a Sch oner, called the
Bo'd Hornet, and the other a Sloop ; both belonging
to South -Carolina.

Delivered in St. Paul's and St. George's Chapels, in
New-York, on Sunday the iitb of M^y, 1777.
By SAMUEL SEABURY, M. A.
The above sermon was written feverai years ago, and
was preached in Trinity Church, in this city, in April
*773* No person, who has ever felt that partiality which
most men have for their own productions, will be sur
prised at the author's faying he was pleated with the com
petition. However, neither his vanity, nor the impcr
tur.ity of friends, have been the cause of its publication.
Upon preaching it lately in St. Paul's and St. George's
Chapels, in this city, it fell under the censure of some
who heard it; rhe-author hopes, orly because it was mif
underflood. He has th- refore taken the liberty to fend
it into the world to speak lor itfclf, 2nd recommends it
to the protection of the candid and reafenabU part of man
kind, to whose judgment, however it may make against
him, hr ihall ever pay the greareft regard.
