: ‘NEW-Y ORK, July 4 .
On Monday about one thousand of the ministerial troops
landed on the welt end of Long-island, but soon embarked
again, and feeing a party of riflemen, said to be about one
thousand, gave them three huzzas, which they returned with
the Indian war whoop. On Tuesday morning some of them
appeared coming up, and before night about forty-five fail
came abovethe Narrows, and anchored at and near the Wa
tering place, where they fired about fifty cannon shot, of
which we have not heard the occasion, and landed many of
their men, whom we cculd plainly fee exercising and parad
ing. It was apprchended they intended to penetrate into the
interior parts of the island, or to feme of the neighbourin
towns, but it does not appear that they have yet attempted 1&]
or done any thing on shore, except taking up a little bridge
on the causeway between the Laoding and the Highlands, at
the Ferry. We hear General Mercer, with a detachment,
was yesterday defpatched «to watch their motioss, aud act as
occasion might require., o
