NEW-YORK, Odo. 4.
Last Monday Evening was sent in here by
the Tender to his Majesty's Ship Delaware, a
Rebel Privateer Sloop of 12 Guns. The Tend
er has also retaken a Schooner that failed from
Liverpool the z6th of July, that had been
taken some Days ago by a Boston Privateer.
Capt. Dugan, of the. Privateer Ship Tar
tar, of this Port, sent in here last Wednesday,
a Letter of Marque Sloop of 6 Guns, that had
cniy been 16 Hours from Philadelphia bound
for Martinico, laden with naval Stores.
In the Afternoon of last Tuesday the Coun
try Seat of the Hon. John Watts, three Miles
from Town, took Fire and was burnt to the
Ground. 'Twas supposed to be cccafioned
by some Cracks in the Chimney, as the Fire
firft broke out in the upper Part of the House.
Great Part of the Furniture that was in the
lower Part of the House was saved, but almost
every Thing in the upper Part was burnt.
The Loss is great. That Family and many of
their Friends have been very great Sufferers
by Fire since the Rebellion began.
We hear that the Committee at Philadel
phia is dissolved, and that the utmost Confu
fion now reigns in that City ; that their Cur
rency is got as low as zS for one; that Gen.
Lee has had a Duel with Mr. Clarkfon, Aid
du Camp to Gen. Arnold, in which the for
mer was wounded in the Side slightly; that
General Washington remains at Weft Point,
Lord Sterling in the Clove ; that about 60 of
Baylor's Light Horse moved down to Mon
mouth a few Days ago; that Major Hays
commands at Elizabeth-Town at present ; that
the News of the Spaniards interfering in the
present War is but very cooly received in
most Parts of the Country, the sensible Part of
the People being of Opinion, that some Eu
ropean Powers will join Great-Britain, and in
the End that America will fall a Prey to one
of 'he Powers at War.
Che Snow Vengeance, Capt. Deane, has
sent : n a Privateer Sloop of $ Guns, called the
Revenge, York, Master, from Philadelphia,
with 30 Hands : She was taken the 29th ult.
off Sandy-Hook.
The Privateer Brig Arbuthnot, Capt. Dow
nie, has sent in the Schooner Smallwood,
from Cape Nichola, on Hispaniola, bound
far Philadelphia.
Friday last departed this Life in the 54th
Year of his Age, Mr. William M'Adam, of
this City, Merchant, a Gentleman whose
Death, is universally lamented.
T e fame Day died also, Mrs. Elizabeth
Seed. Wife of Capt. Arthur Seed, Comman
der f a Ship in this Port.
A counts from the Weft Indies, as late as
24 Days, fay, That Admiral Byron was off

datedin iVhite Booth Road, June 19.
'' Picnic to acquaint their Lordihips, that
on the izth infi. I failed from Eliineur, with
h ? ' Mfcity's armed fuip under my command.
On the 16 h, about ten A M after feeing the
' land, the Medea gave chace to a French cut
ter, and after coming up with her, a conßant
firing was kept up on both sides for some time.
About an hour after the cutter had (truck, we
came up with the convoy, and joined the Me
, dea and her prize. At two P. M. another fail
was difeovered, which we took to be an ene
my; on which Capt. Montague finding his
fails and rigging much cut and damaged by
• her (hot, sent his boat on board me with 28
prisoners, with a message, that he should take
charge of the convoy, and ordered me that 1
Should pursue the said vessel. I immediately
gave her chace, and at nine P. M. came near
her, found her to be a French brig privateer,
.nd endeavouring to get off. She kept up a
running fight between fourand 5 hours, and
then flruck her colours. We received but lit
tle hurt from her tire, only a few shot through
the topsails. She had one man killed, and a
few Rightly wounded: She was from Dunkirk
ij days bofure she was taken, and had not
taken any prize , is called the Compte de
Maurepas, mounting 14. four pounders and
eit it swivels, and had on board 87 men.
e said brig I have brought into the Hum
;..•, where I (hall wait their Lordihip's further
directions."
The Betsey, Leech, of Glasgow, but last
from St. Kitts for this Port, loaded with Rum,
was taken a few Weeks ago, by a Rebel Pri
vateer, but was afterwards retaken by the
Sandwich Privateer of this Place, and sent in
lall Friday.
