were with them.
In the New-Jersey Gazette of the Bth inst.
there are Letters from General Sullivan, in

ed, near Chemung, a Body of Tories and In
dians, under the Command of Buttler and Brant,
and that they had a Scattering Engagement for
several Hours, in which a Few were killed and
wounded on both Sides.
The Brig Chance, Capt. Fairchild, of Phi
ladelphia, arrived here last Saturday Noon, in
30 Days from Statia: She was taken 17 Days
ago by the Privateer Brig Dunmore, of this
Port, and 7 Days after was retaken by two
French Frigates to the Westward of Bermuda,
and ordered for Philadelphia, but lall I uefday
