On Thursday last, nineteen Rebel conti
nentals with caps, but otherwise shabbily ap
pointed, were brought to town; they were
taken by Colonel James Delancey's Refugees.
It is supposed they are of Colonel Sheldon's
cavalry.
The Refugees who lately had their fhallops
burnt at Sandy-Hock, went into the county of
Monmouth as far as Colt's Neck, where they
made prisoners of fix notorious Rebels, viz.
Hendrick Vanderveer, Joseph Mason, Lieut.
John Fleming, and three others. A party of
Rebels, headed by Nathaniel Scudder and
David Forman, pursued them as far as Black
Point, when Mr. Scudder was killed; he bad
for several years been a member of the Conti
nental Congress, and was at present a member
of the New Jersey Assembly. The Refugees
got off fafe with tb(ir prisoners to Sandy-Hook.
MEW-YORK, O&ober 22.
A Boat from the Chefapeak arrived here last
Saturday Evening,which Place (he left theMon
day Evening before ; at that lime Lord Corn
wallis, with the Royal Army under his Com
mand, were well, nothing Material having
happened there since the Accounts we received
a few Days ago, and which are published in
the firfl Page of this Paper.
Sixty-two Sail of Merchantmen, and Navy
Victuallers, arrived here from England, last
Friday, after a Passage of 15 Weeks.
About 90 Sail came cut together with a
strong Convoy, 23 of which Number were for
South Carolina ; the Rell for Halifax, Quebec,
Georgia, &c &c.
The following Vessels loft the Convoy off
the liland of Tercera.
Ship Nancy, Snow Major Pearson, the Mary,
(a Victualler) the Brigs Bronetta, ligmeot,

The 15th [nftant, the Brig Fair American,
Capt. Eldridge, carried into Phijadelphia,
four of the above miffing Vessels, viz.

and Brig York.
The Snow Major. Pearson, of the fame Fleet,
was carrived into Egg Harbour a few Days
since, by Part of the Crew, who rose on the
Rest, and wounded many of them very dan
gerously; and we hear the Brig Egmont, is
also taken and carried into some Place near
Cape May, by two Whale Boats.
Captain Hays, in a Sloop, arrived here last
Saturday, in 9 Days from Providence. Last
Tuesday, off the Chefapeak, he saw three
large Ship!, fuppcfcd of the Line ; that in the
Night one of them took Fire, and continued
burning till next Morning; and as the Day
appeared, it seemed as if she had been con
famed to the Water's Edge.
The |uuo, William Smith, from the Ha
vannah, for Philadelphia, was sent in here last
Saturday Morning, by his Majesty's Ship
Amphion.—Her Cargo corfifts of Sugar, be
fidcs 14,000 hard Dollars. She failed in
Company with two Brigs bound,or Philadel
phia also, with Sugar and some Dollars, and
parted from them a few Days before she was
taken. They left at the Havannah, 8 Spanish
Ships of the Line, and no Men of War had
failed from that Place since the 2d of Septem
ber, which was the Day Capt. Smith arrived
bere. The Juno was one of the Vessels that
filled from Philadelphia under Convoy of the

From a REBEL PAPER, (Holt's); 1
Poughkeepsie, O^ober tfo Within a day or|
two, we have accounts from Albany, of the ,
appearance of the enemy on Lake Champlain, J
and it is fupppfed with an intention to makel
an incursion into the northern parts of thisl
state; but as General Stark has the command 1
at Saratoga, and Colonel Willet in Tryon 1
county, with considerable bodies of troops, §
we have not much to apprehend from thofel
savage gentry.
We hear that a few days ago a confiderablel
body of troops were on their way to Albany, |
to reinforce the guards on Our frontiers.
