thrir enn^J nee and esteem; is they were
r evinced that a cdafeffion of their guilt might
be even to their temporal advantage, and
w) uld not operate againit any clemency they
might expe& and that flence would be con
ft ued to ob/linacy; rnd as in a difeourfe Mr.
OMen delivered am the occasion, in his ad
dfe,s to th m among other things, he, in the
molt attesting manner, fliewed the awfulcon
fequences of debarring this life in a date of
impenitence, or with guilt in their lips; great
numbers of the foedators were inclined to
entertain very favourable sentiments of their
innocence, and Specially as some circum
stances have tranfuired which renderi: highly
probable the robbery was perpetrated by a
party from Staten-Bland. Many persons ar
dently wifl^d the lives of both the culprits
could have been preserved for the present.—
It is mentioned that the evidences againit them
were so positive as to swear to the identity of
their persons, that the jury immediately
brought them in guilty of the charge laid in
their indictment. The gentleman who favours
us with this information, and who was pre
sent at the trial of these men, and at the ex-I
ecution of M'Coy, fays, he is rm/ fully con-|
vinced of their innocence. He adds, thatl
Judge Simmes did himfelf great honourin the ;
discharge of his office, and lincerely lamented I
it was not in his power to appoint council tor I
the prisoners, there being no practitioner of I
law in the court, except cue representative of
the attorney general.

NEW-YORK, April 26.
Last Sunday died very rauch regretted. al
ter eight Day illness, Mrs. BE^UMON I,
wife of HAMMOND BEAUMON T, Elq;
one of the Surgeons of his Majelly's Hofpitab
From the Newport Mercury, (Rhode lilana)
dated May 20.
/ Norwich, May 15.
" Yesterday Capt. Haliet, in a Icttei of
“ marque arrived here in 17 days from ^re
" nada. On Wednesday last the captured a
" ship of above 150 tons, mounting ten guns,
“ and 16 Men, bound from Port au Port to
*' New-York, laden with about 160 pipes of
“ wine, and 300 boxes of lemons, &c. bard
" ship arrived lase fall evening. Caption
“ Haliet had only lix guns, and fix men.
66 Capt. Haliet brings an account, tnat there
“ has been a bloody engagement between the
“ fleets of his Moll Chriltian Majesty and
" that of Great-Britain, each Squadron cun
“ filling of 21 fail of the line, and that b^h
" squadrons were left in light of each u^er
'' when the account came away."
Lall Tuesday Night an Account was brought
to Town, tnat Col. De Lancey, with a Part/
of his loyal Band of Refugees, yeiterday ic
turned from a fuccefsful Incurlion upon the
Enemy,of whom they killed ten, took 37 Con
, tinental and Militia Troops Prisoners, and
Trophies, confining as is said, of one hundred
Head of Cattle——But this cult the Colonel
the Loss of a brave,Officer, Captain Fowler,
who was killed by the Enemy's hire from 4 &
Window which it is laid, occasioned a Severe
Retribution. The House was immediately
consumed to Allies.
A detachment of 15° men from the 57th
regiment, under the command of Major
Brownlow, landed upon New-Ark Meadow,
yesterday morning at two o'clock, in order to
furprize a final! body of Rebels quarterd in the
town; upon the march of the troops to that
place, Major Brownlow fell in with a small
patrole near the town, one man of which run
ning off, gave the alarm; by this means the
greatest part of them made their escape, 33
excepted, 4 of whom were killed, the re
mainder taken prisoners, with the loss upon
the part of the King's troops, 4 men wound
ed, 3 of them very slightly.
On Thursday lall died (after a few day's ill
ness) Mr. Thomas Attwood, of his Majes
ty's Hospital, (son of Mr. Thomas Bridgen
Attwood) A most amiable youth which
occasions this sudden loss of him to be severely
felt by his Relations, and unive fally # regiet
ted by all his acquaintance. Lall night his
corps, attended by a numerous procefiion of
refpedable gentlemen, was deposited 1 unity
Church Yard.
Yesterday was lent in here by the Privateer
Schooner Restoration, of two 2 pounders and
four Swivels, Capt. Thompson, belonging to
this Port, the Sloop Black joke, Wilson Bail
lie, late Malter, from Surrinam bound to Vir
ginia, with a Cargo of Rum, Melaffes, Pie
mento, &c. She was taken last Saturday
Evening in Chefapeak Bay. On the preced
ing Day the Restoration run two Rebel Veliels
on shore, the Crews of which it is supposed
perilhed, as the Surf run very high, and they
were observed taking to their Boats, bit dis
appeared soon after.
The Prize-Mailer of the Black-Joke in
forms us, that during the three Days which
the Restoration lay in the Chefapeak, a hea
vy Connonade was daily heard towards York-
Town, but the Occasion of it they could nei
ther learn nor conjecture.
Wednesday was sent in here by his Majesty's
Ship Galatea, the Rebel Privateer Ship Har
rison, of 20 Carriage Guns, - John
son, Ute Master. She failed from Newbury-
Port, Maffachufett's-Bay, twelve Days ago.
The Delight was left in Chace of the Ship
Jack, a flout Privateer fitted out at Salem, of
which it was not doubted Ihe would soon be in
Possession.
NE W-YOR K, May 29.
Another Prize was sent in here lafl I 4 riday,
by the Schooner Restoration: She is a Imall
Schooner, and wag taken last 1 uelday off the
Mouth of the Pptowmack, in the Chefapealf,
but has no Lading on board. By the People
in this Prize we learn, that on Sunday the 21st
Initant, they saw several large Veliels and
some small, full of Soldiers, from Baltimore
bound for Portsmouth, in the Chefapeak,
where (the Prisoners informed them) they
were to be joined by some other Troops, in
order to oppose Sir Henry Clinton, in Case
he should march into North Carolina.
A Gentleman in London, writes to bis Friend in
this City, the 20th of March, 1780, as follows.
" Your Affairs, I trull, are in a prosperous
Way in New-York, and if the French attempt
any Thing near you, I hope they will meet
with as warm a Reception as they did at Sa
vannah. The Spaniard is already sick; among
the homeward bound Fleet from Gibraltar the
Spaniards who were Prisoners when we dis
covered a French Fleet (a 64 of which was
taken, as you will fee by the Gazette) defied
te be put to the Guns, and to aflift in navi
gating the Ships against them ; in which they
cheerfully afted."
A Letter frem Ireland to a Gentleman in this Lown,
mentions ;
“ This Spring and Summer, the Volunteer
Troops of each County, are to be reviewed,
and formed into Battalions. The whole Force
of the Kingdom amounts now to u,wards of I
ioo,coo Men, a body of Troops equal to
repel any Force our Enemies may dare to make,
and ready to march at an Hour's Notice, in
the Defence of their King and Country."
On Thursday the 25th Inlt. departed this
Life, aged 50 Years, the Reverend Thomas
Barton, A. M. the Society's Missionary for
Lafcaiter in the Province of Pennsylvania.
This worthy Clergyman was distinguished by
a generous Openpefs of Temper, and Li
berality of Sentiments; which, joined to an
exemplary Conduct, ani lindefatigable Zeal
in difeharging the Duties of his Fumllion,
gained him the Love and Esteem of. his Ac
quaintance ; especially of his Parishioners,
who greatly refpotted him during his Rest-1
dence among them fr 21 Years. His un
shaken Loyalty, and Attachment to the Con
ftitutioD, drew upon him the Resentment of
the Rebels, and exposed him 10 many Hard
ships. The Violence of the Times compelled
him at last to leave his numerous Family, and
take Refuge in this City ; where he bore a
tedious and most painful sickness with Forti
tude and Refignarion ; and died in firm Ex
pectation of that Immortality and Glory,
which are the exalted Privileges of Sincere
Christians.- " There the Wicked cease
I " from troubling ; and there the Weary be at
I " Rest : There the Prisoners rest together ;
" they hear not the Voice of the Oppressor."
On Friday lall, his Remains were interred
in the Chancel of St. George's Chapel.
Iff There are in currency a number of
counterfeit Pillar Dollars of the ) ear 1757 of
which beeware.
