NEW-YORK, Sept. 7.
By Accounts,dared the 39th ult. we aieinfftQ
that the British Fleet Grider the Co^n^nd of the
Right HonourableL&>d Howe, had fatey effected
the very difficult Pafe of the South ,ann, as
far as to Lat. 40, 51 ; that his Majeftys Ship Ariel,
the Hon. Charles Phipps, Commander, had, the
preceding Wednesday, taken a Rebel Brigantine of
,6 Guns, carrying eighteen Pilots, cruizing, as they
acknowledged, to meet the French Fleet, under the
Count D'Elbing, and to navigate them into Boston
Harbour. The Pilots declared, that the French
Ship named Le Zele, of 7+ Guns, arid 900 Men,
had joined the Toulon Fleet, after being Separated
in the late violent Storm, and engaged with hs M^
jetty's Ship Isis, Capt. Rayner, of .50 Guns, and
^OO Men, on which Occasion the French Commander
Toft his right Arm, with twenty Seamen killed and
fifty woun'ded. When out Informant left the Brit fli
Fleet, Saturday fe'nnight, Capt. Hyde Parker, Com
mander of his Majesty's Ship Phoenix, hoisted a
Signal for difeovering four Sail to the North-Fad,
on which the whole Fleet immediately gave them
chace.
Our Advices fiom Rhode-Inland, as late as Mon
day last are, That the British Troops did not arrive
at that Place Don enough to cut off the Retreat of
the Army under Command of Generals Sullivan and
Hancock, they having very prudently given up the
Enterprise the Evening before the Traniports appear
ed off he Ifhnd, having carried off all their Artil
fery, Baggage, &c. over their Bridge of Boats:
This is the third Attempt against Rhode-Ifland, and
all unfticcefsful.
Early on Monday a Party confiding of too of
the Yagers, were attacked near Col. Philips's by a
Body of Rebels, confiding cf fewal Hundreds,
who killed three cf the Yagers, the remaining
Ninety-seven made good their Retreat. And the
fame Morning the Light Troops potted at Kmgl
bridge, fell in with a Party of sixty Light Infan
try of the Rebels, and 48 Stockbridge Indians, under
the Command of the Son of Nimharn, abouta Mile
from our Lines, when Col. Tarleton, with the Ca
valry of the Legion, (late Pennsylvania Dragoons)
arid Part of the Queen's Ranges, charged and pur
sued them a considerable Distance : Several or the
Rebel Light Infantry, and 19 of the Indians were
killed on the Field, refufing Quarter, and many are
fuppefed to have periihrd in the Woods of their
Wounds. Nimham's Son was killed, and ten Pri
soners taken, among them a Rebel Captain, and two
Indians. ~
On the zoth ult. Capt. Sibbles, in rhe Tryon
Letter of Marque, funk a fmal| Rebel Privateer be
'onging to Egg-Harbour, called the Glory cf Ame
rica, William Williams, Matter; the Crew were
taken out and last Wednel'day brought in hereby his
Majesty's Ship Maidftone, Capt. Gardner, who was
good enough to receive then from on board the
Tryon. The Captain of the Privateer and one cf
Bis Hands weie put on board the Daphne.
A Sloop with some Provisions, and a Boat loaded
with Wood, were t^ken at Lloyd's Neck, hft Wed
nesday by a Privateer Sloop from Conncaicut ; and
a great abundance of armed Whale Boats are cruitin^
in many parts of the Sound, and tis feared will
much interrupt our Market Boats.
A Letter from Philadelphia has the following Pa
ragiaph : " The General who Commands in this
City, (General Anold)is a.moft amiable Character;
faeftrives to heal An mofitFs, but the Wound is too
gap for that to be effe&ed : Mercy and Justice have
,0 Abode here;”
Lad Saturday Morning \ final! Boat from King's
Bridge going too near the |erfey Shore at Hoebuck,
war fired upon by a Party of Men that lay in Am
tufli in the Meadows, and 'lis foppofed feme of
the People in the Boat got hurt: The Boat imme
diately made to the Shore, when the Crew were
.made Piifcners, and the Boat burnt.
ft was confidently i@ ttd in Jersey last Saturday,
that G neral Pigot a lacked General Sullivan in his
Retreat from Rhode-lfland, on which a blood, B t
ile ensued ; that the latter led many Men and several
Officers ts Dutmaion, but that General Piggot's
Lots was net known, though General Sullivan kept

Aaion w^ not received, but that an Express was
