NEW-YORK, June 23.
The British Fleet was Teen off the split Ruck, 1 5
Miles from Crown Point, in Lake Champlain, on the
28th of May last.
We hear, that Mr. Furman, with about 400 of
the Rebel Army, has abandoned Bhrewfbury, and is
gone to Middletown, about 12 Miles distant. Many
of the Committee Men, and other hot People, at
the firft mentioned Place, have followed Mr. Fur
man's Example, being apprehensive of a Visit.
We are fold the Rebels in the Counties of Weft
chelter, Dutchefs and Albany, in order to demon
strate their Lenity to His Majesty's loyal Subje&s
mow in their different Goals, have agreed to their
Libe ration, provided they take an Oath of Neutra
lity during the present Rebellion.
By Mr. Dickenfon who a few Days ago arrived
here from Hatfield, in the Province es Maffachufet's
Bay, we learn, That the Day before he left heme the
Committee of that Town received Information, that
a reconnoitering Party from General Burgoyne's
Army, had appeared about two Miles Northward of
Ticonderoga, and another Party about the fame
Pittance Southward 'thereof, and near Lake George.
That previous to his Departure from Norwich, in
Conne&icut, the Governor and Council of War es
that Colony, received Intelligence by Express from
Mr. Gates, importing, That the main Body of Ge
neral Burgoyne's Army was then at the Mouth of
Otter Creek, 29 Miles North of Ticonderoga, and
praying for Reinforcements with all possible Speed.
That two Men were lately hanged at Hartford, two
, at Norwich, one at New-Hav'en, and one at New
town, in Connecticut, for inlifting Men'for the Ser
vice &f their Sovereign. That in the Quarter of the
Country he came from, the Rebels confined every
Mara whom they fufpeMed to be friendly to Govern
ment. That Judge Wells, es Brattleborough, had
been lately confined to his Farm, and otherwise ill
treated. That the Country People are in great Dis
tress for want of many of the Necessaries of Life, &c.
'Tis said great Part of the Rebel Army lately col
lected at Peek's-Kill, crossed the North-River a few
Days^ago, in order to join Mr. Washington at his
Camp near Bound Brook, in New-Jersey.
Last Wednesday Night Mr. Lowther arrived here
with his Family, from Edenton, in North-Carolina,
being obliged to leave that Province, where the Re
bels are perfecting to Death and Deftru&ion every
Perfen, that will not j^in in the present Rebellion.
Last Manday, Mr. Leather fell in with the Hinch
ing^rooke Sloop of War, Lieut. Ellis, who had
taken a Schepner from Boston with 12 Hogsheads
of Sugar, and one of Rum, bound for Baltirnere,
in Maryland. Another Veflel, taken by the fame
Sloop of War, was then burning in Sight.
On the jyth, Mr. Lowther fell in with his Ma
jesty's Sloop of War the Dispatch, Captain Mason.
Last Monday Evening arrived here from England,
his Myefty's Ship the St. Albans, Capt. Onflow, of 64
Guns, and brought in under Convey fevvral Vessels
with feme British Artillery and Heflian Yagers.
The 15th Instant returned here -from a Cruize his
Majesty's armed Sloop Harlem, Lieut. Knight, and
the Stanly Brig Tender : A few Days before they

Incomparable Worm-destroying
SUGAR PLUM BS,
Necessary to be keptin all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by all People cwbo have bad
of thro in Groat-Britain and Ireland, for their
tranfeendent Excellency in the defroying Worms of all
kinds both in the Bodies of Men, Women, and Children,
by not only breaking the Knots in the Duodenum or Gut
next the Stomach, but they pass tbreugh the fmallefl
Plages °f tbe Body, and purge aivay ibofe ropy and
fan. Humours nvbich are the cause of those pernicious
Vermin, and the Source of many other Disorders ; they
are one of the best Purges in the nxbole World for gross
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, and boTOe
large Bellies; their Operation is mild, faje and plea-'
fant; they wonderfully cleanse the dowels of all fiff
and clammy Humours which flop up the' Parts, and
prevent the Juice of Food being conveyed to the Liver
andmade Blood, which is often the Case with Children,
and is attended with a bard Belly, finking Breath,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Deca, of Strength in
the lower parts : Likewise fettled Aches and Pains in
the Head, Swellings, old Sores, Scabs, Tetters, or
Breakings out, will be perfeflly cur'd, and the Blood
and Skin refored to its original Purity, and Smooth
ness ; the, purge by Urine, and bring away the Gra
vel; and effeßuall, cure all Obfruhlions of the Urine,
or Ulcers in the Kidneys. The, at once frike at the
true caffe of the Scurvy, and entirely defroy it, and cf'
fcorbutick Humours and Effe^s, Root and Branch, so
as never to return again ; and what makes them more
commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both Tafe
and Sight, as Loaf Sugar; and in tbeir Operation as
innocent as new Milk.
I have by tbefe Plumbs cured a great man, Children
of Whooping or Chin-coughs, and Agues, which fif
tempers are ver, common and troublesome to Fanrilie,,
and the Want of tbefe Plumbs are the Ruin of many
Children's Conjiitutions.
Tbefe Plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole Mass of,
Blood, carry off all gross, corrupt and putrid Humours,
and create a frefb and health, Complexion in fueb as
are affedled b, an, putrid Matters.
The Plumb is a great 'Dicurctick, cleaning the Reins
of Slime; it expels Wind, and is a Sovereign Medicine
in the Cholick and griping of the Guts. It allays and
carries off four Vapours which occasion many Disorders
in the Head. It opens all Obfrufiions in the Stomach,
Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder; causes a good Ap
petite and helps Digestion. - It bath beenfound won
derfull, fuccefstul to Jucb Persons as are going into
Chronical Difempers, as Af.bmas, Pbtbifcks, or Sbort
nefs of Breath, Dropfes and Yellow Jaundice. Now
I bdpe all impartial Persons are fatisfied, that the Me
dicine which works upon fuel)Humours, will afnof
teach any Difemper, if not too far gone, face Corrup
tion and Putrefaction are the Fore-runners of all Dis
eases ; therefore no better Phyfick can be taken jor all
Ages, Sexes and Confitutions, from Infancy to an old
Age. Tbefe Plumbs are highly serviceable to the Fe
male Sex,from the Age of 14. to 20 Years, and from
40 to 50. Each Box containing one Dozen of tbefe
Plumbs, Price 12 Shillings, with Direflions. ' Sold i,

"ho Mr. NORTON, Surgeon, in Golden Square,
S I R, London, Sept. 20, 176 c,
111 AVE at last the very great Pleasure of'ac
quainting you that 1 am perfe&ly recovered
from my late Linets by taking your Diops, and
perilling in them since the firft of February last ;
asiliis Remedy must be of great Benefit to the
Public, in Joltice to them and to you, I her#
fend you the particulars of my Distemper, for the
Ferufal of all Rich as chute to be informed of the
Certainty of rtieir Effects.—ln the Years 175 S
and <759> 1 "as attacked by a violent Scurv.
having no Part free front Pimpleb, Scurf, or Ul
cers, but the Palms of my Hand, my Face and
Breast ; attended by a total Want of Appetite,
Sleep, and Spirits; so such a Degree was I at
flitted, that I wilhed myfelf dead, having fol
lowed many different Prescriptions to no Manner
of Purpose. From this Situation I was relieved
by an old Woman, who undertook to cure me ;
and accordingly all this was carried off by the
Juice of Herbs, preceded by violent Bleedings,
followed by Diet. Drinks and outward applica
tions, when l was, to all outward Appearance,
well for about a Year, but ever since I I ve been
ailing without any visible Signs, being greatly
distressed by Want of Sleep, great Lowness of
Spirits, and Loss of Appetite ; v/hen, about fix.
teen Months since, I was suddenly taken ill with
the most [harp and acute Pains in my Back and
Side ; this.was followed by violent Inflammati
ons in my Eyes, fweiling of Limbs, &c. I kept
niy Room three Months before I could fiir; was
sent to Bath, found a bad Effed from the Wa
ters: a Humour, after my Sickness, fell into my
Heel, I was ordered to primp, but all to no Pur
pose ; at latt I could neither walk nor ride, when
I was advised tablifter it, and half a Pint of the
most corrosive Matter came out, but was thirty'
DAys a healing, on account of a violent Scorbutic
Habit the Surgeon then saw I was in. As soon
as healed, I went out, and returned Horne with
my Leg greatly inflamed, not being able to Hand
upon it or kneel ;yl was then kept in Poultices
for a Month, from.my Knee to my Heel, before.
I could walk; I then to all Appearance, was
outwardly well, but still violent low ip Spirits.
Want of Appetite, 'Sleep, &c. It happened, I
read your Advertisement in the Bath Papers, $d
making the ftri&ett Enquiry, on the Spot, pf
Mr. Atwood's Cure, I found it attested by evety
one there. I came to London the latter End pf
January last, have taken your Drops ever iinde
the firft of February ; a Week after I began, it
drove out the Humour in the small of my Leg,
and in different Parts, from toy Heel to some
what beneath the Calf, and upon the Back of
both my Hands ; the Matter that came out of
my Leg was so corrosive, that the Cloth that was
on, when washed, became full of Holes, the
Matter or Spots could not be waited out, but
burnt the Piece but. This Humour has gradual
ly come out, crusted, and then peeled off, and
has slowly decreased in Violence, until it came to
mere Water, and is nov perfectly healed : My
Hands were Shocking to tbe'Sight, but dried by
Degrees, then peeled off; more came out, and
went off in like Manner successively, but have
been well long since, and I am now well recover
ed, my Strength is returned, my Spirits good,
my Stomach the fame, and Sleep well ; in short,
I thought mylelf so bad as obliged me to leave
the, Service, despairing entirely of a perfect
Recovery.
I have nothing farther to add, than that I am
molt sincerely obliged to you, not only for the
Recovery of my Health, for your very genteel
and disinterested Behaviour, but also for your
plain Dealing and Truth ; my Diftempeh having
taken the Course you have, them Time to Time,
told me it would ; and, if it is in my Power ever
to be of ah, Service to you, I shall be happy in
an Opportunity of convincing you how wuch I am,
