ROBERT MORRIS. -
Philadelphia, May 28, 1781.
NEW- YORK, June 6.
By authentic accounts from Lloyd's Neck,
we learn, that a party of about 150 Associated
Loyalists and other Volunteers, affiled by
Capt. Steele, in the Keppel brig, and some
other armed vessels, landed on the coast of
Connecticut, and marched some dißance into
the country, when they met with a ftvere op
ppfition from a body of rebels, double the
number, having a field piece. The Loyalists
notwithstanding they were thus opposed, col
le&ed a large number of horses, cattle, sheep,
&c. which they drove down to their boats and
brought off. The engagement begun at seven
o'clock, and continued very hot until eleven.
The rebels loss cannot be afeertained. The
Loyalills had nine men wounded, one of
whom is since dead, the others are likely to
recover.
Capt Hubbil being ill, the Loyalists were
commanded by Capt. Charles Thomas, and
Mr. Thomlinfon, associates.
Last Monday his Majelty entering into his
forty fourth year, the cannon at Fort-George
were fired, which was succeeded by those from
the ships of war, and the other vessels in the
harbour; a very elegant dinner was given in
celebration of the King's birth day, by his
Excellency Sir Henry Cliton, commander in
chief, to the general officers, British and Ger
man, a great number of the military, and
other principal gentlemen of the city ; many
entertainments were provided at the principal
taverns in town, and on Long-Island.—The
day was passed in convivial harmony, and
closed with a feu tie fie fired by the garrison
and militia, amounting to many thousand
men.
At ten o'clock last Friday morning, another
Rebel Mail was seized 00 its palfage from
the Earftjrn provinces to Philadelphia, and
yesterday fafely brought to HEAD-QUAR
TERS; this makes the fourth acquisition of
the kind.
These men, each of them, at different
times, had behaved in a very disorderly and
mutinous manner, difeovering the most sedi
tious temper, and calling upon their fellow
soldiers of the several regiments to join them
in their revolt.—They found however no sup
port from their comrades. The whole line
was drawn up under arms at the execution,
and behaved in the most orderly manner. A
finer body of men never were collected. They
were to have marched from that place on
Wednesday, but were obflruaed fclely by the
heavy rains. The men appear chearful and
happy, without, the lead appearance of tumult
or discontent.
NEW-YORK, June 9 .
When the Frigate, which arrived here on
Wednesday, left St. Euftatia, the Britilh fleet,
under Sir Samuel Hood, confiding of fixteea
line of battle ships, was drawn up in line against
the French fq^adron, opposing the passage of
the latter into Martinique; they confided, 'tis
said, of seventeen fail of the line, one 50, and
one 40 gun (hip. Sir George Rodney, then at
St. Euftatia, received intelligence of their fitu
ution, got immediately under way (with three
or four fail of the line, including the Ruflell,
which had been engaged with the French fleet,
and proceeded to that port to repair her da
mages. which had been effected in 24 hours)
to reinforce his brave Rear Admiral : So that
we may now expert news of a decisive nature
from that part of the Well-Indies. There were
several French men of war in the harbour of
Martinique, which, from the position of the
British line, were prevented from getting out
to the aflillance of their Admiral.
From the Pennsylvania Packet, May 29.
By a gentleman who left York-Town on
Friday evening we learn, that four of the
soldiers of the PenDfylvania line, were shot at
that place on Tuesday last for mutiny. Six
had been condemned, and two of them par
doned by Gen. Wayne.

declaring they would not fight against their
