NEW-YORK, August 2.
Lad Saturday night a party of rebels from
the main landed-on Long Island, and robbed
the house of Mr. John Houlroyd, Inn Keeper
at Hempffead Plains, of effects to theamount of
several hundred pounds; the afterwards step
ped Mrs. Ihreddle, spouse of Dr. I breddle, on
her return home from this city, robbed her of
effects to the value of thirty pounds; at the
fame time they seized a market waggon, in
which was merchandize, valued at upwards
of eighty pounds ; in that carriage they con
veyed all their b>oty to Hempftead Harbour,
where thy embarked in two whale boats. The
militia were alarmed, and twenty of them
well accoutred, pursued the plundererswith ail
p< ffible freed to the place where they embar
ked, but they arrived too late.
NEW- YORK, August 7.
The Crops of Wheat in most Parcs of the
' Continent this Summer, has been extremely
thio bat very well beaded, and on the whole
I %is feppofed they have not quite half the
Ql entity they had last Seafen.
We are told there are few or none of the
Cortbe^til Army from Newark to Amb^y,
or ir.ti iVicinity ofEaft Jersey: They having
been called array by General Washington, who
we hear h^ crossed Hudson's River, at King's
Ferry, and is now in the Neighbourhood of
the White Plains, about 30 Miles from this
City.
We are well assured, that the Fines lately
exacted from the Friends in the County of
Dutchefs, for not turning out on several late
Alarms, amount to not less than 30,000!.
in hard Money: Their Cattle is generally
taken and fold for whatever they will fetch at
public Sale; and we hear great Numbers of
ail Sorts'of Cattle and Horses, have been drove
from the upper Parts of the Province to Rnode-
Kand, for the Use of the French Army and
Nvay there.
Saturday last the Ship Commerce, Captain
Harriot, arrived here from Lisbon,. which
Place he left the 7th cf June: The 25th of
May his Majesty's Frigate the Mijlford, Sir
William Burnaby, Commander, arrived there
from England, with feme Gentlemen of Di
flin^on on board, who immediately fit out
for the Court of Madrid.
On Wednesday last, in the 79th Year of her
Are, departed this Use, Mrs. Frances Van
Coßtlandt, Relid of the late Col. Frede
rick Van Cortlandt, of the L^wer Youn
kers, in Weft-Cheder County. The unaffec
ted Piety and Benevolence, that invariably
lhone throughout the Condud of this venerable
Lady, endeared her to all who had the Pleasure
of her Acquaintance; her Manners were
mild, amiable and endearing; she performed
the various Duties of a Christian with the
greeted Devotion and Punctuality, without
©ftentation. Whether considered in the
Character of a Parent, Friend or Mistress, her
Behaviour was not [only altogether unexcepti
onable, but such as excited others to an Imi
tation of her Virtues She bore her Illness
with the mod becoming Fortitude and Resig
nation, and Death, which to few, cofne un
accompanied with Terrors, was cordially re
ceived by her, as the Harbinger of the mod
welcome Intelligence.
About § o'clock lad Friday Morning an
Account was brought to Rockaway, that two
Rebel Whale-Boats were at Hog-Island, and
had taken a Schooner in the Bay; in Conse
quence of which Advice, Capt. Charles Hicks,
9 f the Militia cf that Place, mudered his Com-
pany, shd with a few Volunteers in two Boa's
went in Quett of them, but the stormy Weather
prevented their attacking them that Evening.
About 4 o'clock the next Morning, Captain
Hicks, in order to avoid the Effufion of Blood,
lent a Flag to inform the Rebels; that if they
would iurrender Prisoners they should have
good Quarters; this they would not comply
with, when a smart Action commenced; but
the Enemy feeing they could not escape, agreed
to accept the firti Terms offered by Captain
Kicks, and accordingly surrendered themlelves
Prisoners of War.
The two Whale-Boats were 14 Days from
Brunswick, but had met with no Success, and
one of them was commanded by William Ma
riner, formerly cf this Place, but cf late a
great Rebel Partisan. The Prisoners amount to
Twenty-eight, among them a Clergyman.The
Boats were well fitted, and provided with all
Sorts of Ammunition, &c. There were none
killed or wounded on cither Side; several
grape Shot went thro' Captain Hicks's Jacket.
Saturday lad departed this Life in about her
50th Year, at Newtown, on Long-Bland, Mrs.
Elizabeth Colvill, formerly of this Place.
