No more her looks the fade of gladness wore; —
Short were her pleafares, and her days no more---
Hapless her days ---with plenteous griefs fufflied,
For him foe ceaseless mourn'd---and mourning died---

For e'er ensure her endless hastiness.

"We hear the Rebels are under great Anxiety
on Account of their Frigate the Alliance,
as they heard nothing of her since ffie
took the Guernsey Privateer of 36 Guns,
as mentioned in this Paper of the 4th Instant,
on her voyage from France to the continent.
The Privateer Brig had certainly 36 Guns,
but 18 of them were short Brass Howets,
mounted on the Gunwale, and the Vessel was
rigged Cutter Falhion.
The French Frigate the Hermoine, with all
her Convoy, is fafe arrived at Rhode Island
from Philadelphia; and we hear 9 Vessels out
of Eleven from the Havannah, are got into
Philadelphia.
A Philadelphia Paper of June 6, under the
Baltimore Bead, of June 20, fays, 4.600 ef

About !o o'Clock last Thursday Night the
House of Mr. Nicholas Schenck, near three
Miles to the Southward of Flatbufh, on Long-
Island, was furprized by the Crews of two
Rebel Whale Boats from New Bruofwick :
The Family were at Supper when the Rebels
entered the House, and of Course not pre
paired to make any Refinance, they there
fore took every Thing away they could carry,
wounded Mr. Peter Bogart, of this Place, a
Lodger in the House, in the Side with a
Bayonet, took away his Money and Plate,
and the Plate of the Family to a considerable
Amount.
We arc told there are several Whale Boats
lately built at Philadelphia, and are brought
overland to Brunswick, in order to cruize in
Thursday died Samuel Cornell, Esquire,
one of his Majesty's Council for the Province
of North Carolina, and of the fidl Eminence
in Fortune of that country, a Gentleman ever
distinguished by his Loyalty, Probity and Ur
banity; the Loss of him is sincerely regretted
by a very extensive Circle of Friends, and ir
reparably felt by five mod amiable young
Ladies, bis truly affli&ed Daughters.
Also died, since cur last Capt. Gregory, a
Refugee from Philadelphia;
A small Rebel Privateer Ship, called the
General Washington, Walker, Matter, of 18
fix, and four three Pounders, and 150 Men,
was sent in here last Thurl'day, by one of his
Majesty's Ships: She was built at Baltimore,
and failed out at Rhode-Bland, and is said to
be the Property of General Washington and
Robert Morris.

A few days age a party of Colonel De Lan
