NEWBER N, (N. Carolina) Aug. 6.
In Committee, August 5..
From the late conduct of Governor Martin at
Fort Johnflon, and intelligence since received by this
committee, it appears he intends erecting the King's
Standard, and corinmen'cingf hostilities against the,
people of this Province. It is therefore Resolved,
That no person or persons whatsoever: have any cor- .
refpondence with him, either by personal communi
cation or letter, on pabv of being deemed enemies
to the liberties of America, and dealt with accord
ingly. And that no person or persons presume to re
move him or themselves from hence to Core Sound,
or any other part of the province where the Governor
resides, without leave of this Committee, as he
or they will not be fuffered to return here.
By Order, R. COGDELL, Chairman.
By a Gentleman just come to town 'from Cape-
Fear, we have a certain account that the armed force
which lately went down to burn Fort Johnston, have
efFe&ed the fame bv destroying all the houses, and
rendering the fortifications entirely useless. Capt.
Collett who commanded that fort, 'tis said had a
number of slaves, which he had infygated to revolt
from their matters, a&ually concealed in the fort,
which were again recovered by their Several owners ;
for this treachery they burnt his dwelling house, with
all his furniture, and every thing valuable he had not
time to get on board the man of war.
NORFOLK, (in Virginia) August 2.
This town and neighbourhood have been much
dift^rbed lately with' the elopement of their negroes,
owing,to a mistaken notion which has been unhappily
spread amongst them, of finding Shelter on board
the men of war in this harbour, notwithstanding the
assurances given by the commanding officers, that
not thedeaft encouragement Should be Shewn them.
On Friday last a deputation from the Common
Hall of this borough waited upon the Captains
M'Cartney and Squires of the men of war now lying
here, with the thanks of the corporation for their
condu&, in difeountenancing the run-away Slaves
that have made application for service on board.
On Monday last arrived here from St. Augustine,
about sixty soldiers, on board the lloop Tender, some
time since belonging to Mr. Bowdoin, of the eastern
Shore. These, with about forty more, which are
hourly expected, are to compole a body guard for
his excellency the governor, at his intended place of
residence, on board the Ship William.
The troops above-mentioned, are under the com
mand of a Captain and two Lieutenants : The En
sign, it is said, is on his way over land. The Com
mittee for this borough, early yesterday morning,
dispatched an express to the Honourable the Conven
tion of the colony, now fitting at Richmond, in
forming them of the arrival of the troops' above
mentioned.>

Lord Dunmore reviewed his 60 body-guatdmen,-
lately arrived from St. Augustine, last Tuesday, at
Gofport; and, we hear, that he daily expe&s an
additional reinforcement of 40 more Soldier's, from
the fame place. His Lord Ship, it is said, as soon as
they arrive, and when joined by the marines from
the Mercury and Otter men of war, and a number
of other feha friends in different places, intends,
coming rood to York town ; from whence, if not
prevented, it is likely he will pay us a visit in this
city, although he cannot expe& the fame cordial re
ception as on former occasions, but will probably
be received with fuels illuminations, &c. as may make
him.forget his way to the palace. The good people,
of Virginia now confider Lord Dunmore as their
Mortal, enemy, and will no longer brook the many
gross insults they have received from him, which are
daily repeated ft and the damn'd Jbirtmen, as they are
empatieally called by some of his minions,, it is more
than probable, will make some rue, before long,
their ill-timed, base, and ungenerous condu&.
The men of war's officers, we are credibly inform
ed. have been guilty of many outrages, both at Nor
fi k and 'Portsmouth; which ungenteel behaviour
lately exposed one of them to the resentment of
a certain Mr. O'Shields, who drubbed him hand
somely.
NEWPOR T, August 14.
• Fifteen transports and Blips of war passed by this
harbour last Saturday, fpppofed to be bound to
Boston with the Sheep, oxen, &c. taken from Fillier's
ahd Gardner's Island.
The fame day arrived here a Ship of war, called
the Glasgow ; so that we are now proteHed by two
Ships of 20 guns, and one of 16, which is very
lucky, as a S'midi war seems so very near, we hav
ing never before had any (hip Rationed here, for our
prote&:ion, in time of war.
Last Lord's-Day Morning about Six o'Clock, we
difeovered nine Ship's, one Brig, one Snow, one
Schooner, and two Sloops beating up this Harbour,
with the Wind at N. E. which greatly alarmed the
Inhabitants of this Town, and they immediately sent
off anfExprefs to alarm the neighbouring Towns,
that they might get themselves in Readjnefs to march
wherever they might be wanted ;----but in a few
Hours it was difeovered that,they were bound to
Fifhcr's-lfand, to take off the Stock, which they
effected by the next Morning ;---It consisted of 1130
Sheep, three milch Cows, one pair of Working
Oxen, about 25 young Cattle, and ten Hogs. (All
the Beef that was fit for Market were taken off the
Day before). As soon as they came to Anchor, an
Express was sent off to those Towns that had before
been notified, to let them know the Situation of the
Fleet, and to recommend their being in Readiness,
as it was uncertain where they would proceed next.
---On Tuesday Morning they failed for Gardiner's-
Island, and anchored on the East Side, and were
Yesterday there taking off the Stock.
. The Inhabitants of the Town of New-London,
return their sincere Thanks to those Gentlemen in
the neighbouring Towns, who so readily came to
their Assistance, and if ever Occasion Should require
it, will return them the like Favour.
Wehear from Weftmorland, in the western Part
of this Colony, that last Thursday Se'nnight about
50 Indians of the Six Nations came to that Place,
and incamped at a Small Distance from the Settle
ment; the next Day they came in and delivered a
Meflage, which was to this Purpose---That they
were forty to hear of the Difference which subsisted
between Great-Britain and the Colonies That
.they Should not take up the Hatchet on either Side---
That they meant to be at Peace with the English as
long as the Stream ran down the Sufquehannah River
—That Should Difference in future arise between us
and them, they would try every gentle and healing
Meafure'to obtain Redress of the Grievance- --That
as Col. Guy Johnson had left his Habitation, and they
were destitute of a Superintendant, they desired Col.
Butler to take upon him that Trust ; and that the
Place for holding their future Congresses might be
Weftmoreland.
, 4 ' '775-
" Two persons who have lately come from St.
John's (being examined under oath before the gene
ral) give accounts, that the King's troops are well
fortified at St. John's---that there is atthat place 470
regulars, and 110 at Chamblee, about 12 miles dis
tant, about 20 at Montreal, and one company at
Quebec ; 40 Indians at St. John's, Col. Guy John
son and Col. Claus with 500 Indians just arrived at
Montreal, and just going to join the English rebels
against us. One of these men was at Montreal and
faw,Johnfon and the Indians. They appeared to be
two fen£ble men, and gave a very dire& account.
There are two large and strong vessels near finished
at St. John's, to carry about 14 or 16 carriage guns
each, and they are every day in expectation of being
joined by about 4000 regulars that are come into the
river, and then to come against us. The Canadians
are determined not to fight against us unless forced
by a formidable army. About three weeks ago ah
attempt was made to force the Canadians to take up
arms, and they were about to hang some in every
parith, when the Canadians arose in a body of near
three thousand men, disarmed the officer that was
after recruits, and made him flee, being determined
to defend themselves in the best manner they could
by a full resistance, rather than be forced to arm a
gainst the colonies. The common people there can't
bear to have the 'old French laws take place again
amongst them, as they will thereby be plunged into
enormous taxes. We had a few days ago two men
who went down the lake with an Indian boy from
Dr. Wheelock's college, intending to land him
about 30 miles this fide of St. John's, who are taken
by a scout of the enemy and held prisoners."
