Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Glafgcw,
to bis Sen in this City, dated Augufl 22.
“ The Old Highland Watch, wh® were Ituioned
in Ireland, upon being ordered to Boston, they all
refuted going to a Man, and declared they would not
go and fight against their Brethren, who last War
fought and conquered by their Side."
Ex^raa of a Letter from St. 'John's Camp, North
Side of St. John's, Now. 4, 1775*
“ Since my last Letter General Carleton has been
defeated near Longueil, (a Place almost opposite
Montreal) by Col. Warner ; our Men were 300 in
Number, and the Enemy confined of 800 Men,
commanded by Carleton himfelf. C®l. Warner had
a four Pounder, which did not a little contribute to
his Vi&ory, by pouring Grape Shot in the Enemy's
Boats, who were fuft'ered to come very near the -hore,
before thev fired at them.---The Boat Carleton was
in funk, but he eleaped with a ducking ; they landed
but a few, some of which were taken Prisoners.---
Another Paragraph in the fame Letter lays, on Fri
day Morning we marched into the Fort, but upon
our Entrance, what Havock had our Shot made with
their Houses f a very elegant large Stone House,
full of Holes, great Breaches in it, and the Chimnies
all to Pieces ; their Brick Houfes,ere rather worse,
where they were obliged to bury themselves under
Ground to save themselves from our Shot."
Last Week died, in Child-bed, much lamented,
Mrs. Crommelin, the worthy and amiable Wife of
Charles Crommelin, Esq; of Hempltead Plains,
Long Illand,
By Accounts received from Albany, we are in
formed, that the Garrison of Fort St. John, which
surrendered to General Montgomery, was arrived at
Fort George : They amounted, it is said to 652,
betides Women and Children, and will be removed
to the Towns of York, Lancaster, and Reading, in
Pennfylv^nia.
Sunday next a Charity Sermon will be preached at Tri
nity Church in thisCity,by the Revd. Mr. Moore, for the
Benefit of the Charity School in this Place.
We hear that the Ships that arrived lately at Boston
from England, has brought over no more than a small
Train of Artillery, a few Matroffes, and four Compa
nies of the 17th Regiment of Foot,
Collections are to be made for the Use of the Poor
in the Presbyterian Churches in this City, cn Thurs
day next; in the New Church in the Morning, and
in the Old in the Afternoon : It being appointed by
their Preibytery as a Day of Fading and Prayer, to
Almighty God, on Account of the present melan
choly State of our public Affairs.
WHEREAS by the Ninth Article of the Ge
neral Association of the Honourable the
Continental Congress, it is declared and agreed,
" That such as are Venders of Goods or Mr
« chandize, will not take Advantage of the Scar
« city of Goods that may be eccafioned by the
M said Association, but will fell the fame at the Rates
" they have been refpe&ively accustomed to do, for
6< Twelve Months last past ; and if any Vender of
“ Goods or Merchandize, (hall fell any such Goods
« on higher Terms, or shall in any Manner, or by
64 any Device whatsoever, violate or depart from the
*' said Agreement, no Person ought to deal with any
" fueh Person, er his, er her Factor or Agent, at
" any Time thereafter, for any Commodity what
-66 ever." And whereas Messrs. Robinson and Price,
Merchants, of the City of New-York, have been
convicted upon the fulled Proofs, before the General
Committee for the City and County of New York,
©f having openly violated the above recited Ninth
Article of the General Association, by felling sundry
Articles pf Goods and Merchandizes at an exorbi
tant Rate, contrary to the express Intent and Mean
ing of the said General Association ; the General
Committee of the said City and County of New-
York, pursuant to the Dire&ions of the Eleventh
Article, of the aforefaid General Association, do
therefore publish the said Messieurs Robinson and
Price, as Violaters of the said Association.
By Order of the Committee,
JOHN BROOM, Chairman, pro Tempore.
By a Letter received on the doth Instant, it ap
peared, that Capt. Harris, belonging to Poughkeepiie,
had actually inlifted a Number of Recruits for the
Ministerial Army, and that he Was then at Nassau-
Ferry, on Long-lfland ; upon which Col.M'Dougall,
on the fame Night, with a Number of Friends to
their Country, went over in order to take him. They
searched a Number of Houses, but to no Purpose;
till they came to Degrufhee's Ferry; where they
found him in an upper Room in a Poftcre to defend
himfelf, which appeared by two Pistols lyin&on his
Bed, close by his Side, loaded and primed; which
however as they came upon 'him Unexpectedly, lib
had no Opportunity to use. They took with him
two of his Men, and brought them all fafe to New-
York..'
The above Capt. Harris made his Escape fiom ; the
Guard, Who had the Charge of him, last Thursday Eight,
2nd has not since been heard of.
The Watertown Paper of the 13th Inst contains
an A& of the Legislature of Maffachufens-Bay,
entitled, “ An ACT for encouraging the fitting
out of armed Veflels, to defend the Sea Coast of
America, and for ere&ing a Court to try and con
demn all Vessels that ffiall be found infeftin^ the
fame. Also, An ACT for paying the Minute-
Men, Volunteers, &c. who were present at the Battle
of Lexington, according to their Rank, the DiHance
they came, &c.
We are assured that Major Skeene tfie younger,
who was released from close Confinement on his
Parole of Honour, lately made his Est-ape from
Connecticut, and got to Craton's River, whence, for
Half a Joe, he procured a Fellow to put him on
board the Asia Man of War, where he arrived last
Monday, and Hill remains. As Roman Catholic
Principles have lately become fashionable with the
British Ministry, perhaps this Gentleman may think
that no Faith is to be kept <uitb Hereticks, as the.
Ministry deem those to be in Politicks, who affcit
their Rights and Freedom, and are ready to risk their
Lives, in Defence of the Englilh Constitution, and
those Principles on which the King holds his Crow,,
and the English Laws and Government were efta
blilhed.
NEW-PORT, November ^o.
By several gentlemen arrived in town, fence the
Pelt, we are informed thatthe privateers in the Maf
lachufetts-Bay ha eiken a transport from England,
with 200 troops on boatci ; and were in pursuit of
another, with a large Ibm of money; for the payment
of the ministerial troops in Bolton.'
The bomb-brig; and an armed fehooner, on this

schooner landed on Prudence; and tock out of the

For S A LF,
Two elegant Situations,
In the City of Perth-Amboy, in the Province
of New-Jersey, being Part of the Estate of
the late Do&or LEWIS JOHNSTON, deceased.
„% HE whole of this part of the estate 203
£ acres of excellent land, e±!ending„^^^%igh-
Street, in the said City, along Rariton River, near one
mile westward ; a considerable part of which is now in
choice English Grass, and the rest is well adapted either
for grais or the railing of grain, of which it has been
found to produce plentiful crops of all kinds. On the
premises are,
ift. The large, commodious brick mansion house,
Landing about 100 yard\ from High-Street, commanding
a delightful view of the Riverand Bay; together with a
convenient barn, stables and other out-houses, a good
garden, and a variety of choice fruit trees.
2d. Another commodious brick dwelling house two
stories high, fronting ©n the said River about 120 rods
from High-Street; together with a large barn and other
out-houses, a spacious garden stored with a well chafen
collection of fruit trees, anda young ^eari^g orchard
apple trees.
The situations of these houses are delightfully pleasant
and healthy, and capable of the most elegant and tally
improvements. They are also very convenienton account
of the great plenty of fif^ they afford ; and particularly
the best of oyffers and clams, which, at low water, may
be gathered in plenty before the doors. And their proxi
mity to the town, among many other conveniencies,
affords an opportunity of enjoying the pleafuresof society.
Which, all together, render them as eligible placer for
Gentlemen's Seats as any in the province. About 161
acres of the land are allotted to these houses, and will be
divided equally between them, or in such part or propor
tion as will best suit the purchasers.
The remainder to be laid out in lots of about fix acres
each, fronting on Market-Street and will be very con
venient for the inhabitants of the town for paflure era
mowing-grounds. On one of them are a dwelling house
and garden, suitable for a small family. These fix acres
lots, if ,et fold by private bargain before the twelfth day
of September next, will then be e<pofed to public sale to
the highest bidder.
Any person inclined to purchase the whole or any part
of the premises, may apply to James Parker, John
Swyth, and Heathcote Johnson, of the city of Perth-

00 exceedingly valued by all people who have h id of them
in Great Britaintond Ireland^ for their tranfenTr." ex
cellency in the defraying worms of all kinds both in .r- bodies
of men, women, and children; by not only breaking the knots
in the Duodenum, or gutt next the stomach, but they pass
through the smallest parages if the body^ and purge away
thof ropy and fimy humours which are the cause of.thofe
pernicious vermin, and the fierce of many other difrrders ;
they are one of the heft purges in the whole world for grfs
bodied children that are apt to breed worms, and have large
bellies; their operation is mild, fafe and fleafant; they

mokrs wbich j+op up the parts, and prevent the juice of
food being conveyed to the liver and made blood, which it
often the case with children, and is attended with a hard
bely, jinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay
°J frength in the lower parts : Likewise fettled aches and
pains in the bead, fkucihrigs, old fores, scabs, tetters, kr
breakings out, will be perfectly cured, and the blood and fin
reared to its original purity and fmootbnefs ; they purge by
urine, and bring away the gravel, and effectually cure all
ob, uEtions cf the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at
once strike at the true cause of the feurvy and entirely defray
it, and all feorbutick humours and effkh, root and branch,
so as never to return again ; and what makes them more com
mendable is, they are follas agreeable 10 both taste and fight,
as l' a f s u gar ; and in their operation as innocent as new milk.
I have by theje plumbs cure! a great many children of
whooping, or chin-coughs, and agues, which cifkempers are
