NEW-YORK, July 7.
We Hear from Peck's-Ki I, and several other Parts
0 the Country, that General Burgoyne has landed
his Army in three Divisions, at or about Ticonderoga.
Upon the News cf Gere al Burgoyne's Descent,
two Brigades cf the Rebels were ordered from
Peek's-Kill towards Albany, and 'tis fuppoftd will
arrive Time enough-—to run back again.
We have the Pleasure to inform the Publick, That
the French are actually disarming their large Ships
of War, and have sent out their Newfoundland Ships
for the Season, without any additional Force.
Sunday Night the 29th of June, Major Grant
with the New-York Volunteers, went from King's
bridge upon a foraging Excuifion towards White
Plains : In their Way they fell in with a Number of
the Rebels whom they engaged, killed fix, took
eight Prisoners, and brought off 25 Head cf Cattle
and 11 Horses, which they got fafe in with the next
Evening, with the Loss cf one Man.
On the Arrival of Major Grant, Colonel Stephen
De Lancey set out with another Party, and returned
on I'uefday Evening, with twenty-five Prisoners,
including a Captain and Subaltern, and twenty Head
of Cattle.
Last Monday Evening the King's Troops evacua
ted Amboy and came to Staten-Island ; and the next
Day his Excellency Sir William Howe, with his
Suite, arrived here.
On Monday his Majefly's Sloop of War the Ot
ter, Capt. Squires, arrived here from the Weft In
dies, with g Sail of Veflfels und:r her Convoy, load
ed with Rum, Sugar, &c. &c.
By several Passengers that came in the above Ves
sels we learn, That his Majesty's Sloop of War the
Beaver, of 14. Guns, had taken and carried into
Granada, the Rebel Privateer Oliver Cromwell, be
longing to Philadelphia, mounting Eighteen 9
Pounders, and Six 6 Pounders, with 150 Men, after
one Broadside, in which the Oliver Cromwell had
27 Men killed, and several wounded. The Beaver
affected to appear like a Guineaman, and was con
ceived to be such by the Rebels, till they came cl&fe
along Side, when the Beaver Shewed her Guns, and
gave them the Contents, which threw them into
such a Parfc, that they immediately struck.
From every Part of the Weft Indies we learn, That
they abound with all Sorts of Provisions, and that
Rebel Prizes are daily carried into St. Kitts, Anti
gua, &c. &c. that about five Weeks ago two Dutch
Ships were carried into the lath mentioned liland, one
of which had on board in the Article of Gun-Powder
alone, no less than 17 0 Barrels, cleared from St.
Euftaria for Holland, taken by his Majesty's Ship
Seaford, near the Prickley Pear.
f — A Specimen of Rebel Humanity, experienced at
Newark in New-Jersey, by the Wives of Thomas
Longworth, Isaac Longworth, Uzal Ward, and
fume others whose Hr (ban Is left that Place last Janu
ary, and took Refuge in this City. 7he Committee
of Newark ordered the Wood to be cut off their Land,
their Grass and Hay to be deftioyed, and their Per
sons insulted, and they were not permitted to remain
in the Province longer than Thmflay the 26th ult.
when Guards were placed round their Iloufes, and
their E fleAs secured by Order of their titular Gover
nor William Livingflon; to expostulate was needless,
as the Guards told the Women if they refuted to obey,
Violence would be used. The Cries of Mothers,
Children and Slaves, obliged to leave their Homes
for differing in Sentiment from their Neighbours,
* would have excited Pity in the Bread of any but
Savages. TheMandate mull be obeyed. The Wife
of Mr. Thomas Longworth havingtwo young Chil
dren to take Care of, was favoured with a Straw Bed :
They all arrived here last Sunday Week.
We hear that the little Privateers that now infeft
the Sound are fitted out and owned principally by
People that lately escaped from Suffolk County to
Connecticut./
Tuesday Afternoon arrived here the Ship General
Howe, Captain Selka'd in eight Weeks from Glaf
£ow : The following is an Extract from her Jour
nal : “ June 2,0, Lat. g 2---29, light Breezes, saw
a Sail Handing for us, which we perceived to be a
Schooner with Top-Gallant Sails ; at Four /he heist
ed English Colours and stretched under our Lee, then
lacked and made for us ; at Tin o'clock she came
up under our Quarter, fired t^o Shot at us which
we returned with a Broad-Side ; the then stretched
off, and dogged us all Night. Next morning at
Four o'Clock, Are was about Half a Mile atiern,
hosted Rebel Coloms and fird a Broad-Side at us,
an Engagement then ensued which laded three Quar
ters of an Hour, when the Pirate cheered cff."
* A Party of Rebel Light H Ife wznt to the House
of Capt. Thomas Crowell, of Sinew fbury, in New-
Jersey, last Tuesday, and robbed him of all his Cat.le,
Sheep, Ilogs and Horses ; and told Mrs. Crowell, as
icon as they had disposed of what they then took,
they intended toreturn and carry off all her Houfhold
Furniture, and then dispose of her Houle and Plan
tation at public Sale.

A
DISCOURSE
On II Tim. IIL 16.
Delivered in St. Paul's and St. George's Chapels, in
New-York, on Sunday the i rth of Mav, 1777.
By SAMSEL SEABURY, M. A.
The above sermon was written several years ago, and
was preached in Trinity Church, in this city, in April
!77fr 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 pleafcd with the com
petition. However, neither his vanity, nor the impor
tunity 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; the author hopes, only because it was mif
underflood. He has therefore taken the liberty to fend
it into the world to speak for iifelf, and recommends it
to the protection of the candid and reasonable partof man
kind, to whose judgment, however it may make against
him, he shall ever pay the greatest regard.
