Goodrich.
Thit fleet answers to tV defcriotion of a
honyeward bound Havana fquadroh, with trea
sure under its chnvov, ; infinitely exceeding in
value any former homeward bound Beta from
New to. Old Spain.' An accident may happen,
and Don Solano he introduced, en paffant, to an
entre into the harbour of Plymouth.
That on Wednefdav morning last, after
chasing all the preceding night, he came up
with, off Cape Henlopen, the Rebel Grip St.
James, of 28 guns, vizi 12 and 6 pounders,
with TO brafstcohorns. bound from Philadel
phia to Port I'Oriert, having on board 600
hegflteads of tobacco. He brought her to ac
tion within pistol (hot, and emti^uedto en
gage her in Tat fituati m for two glasses ; an
unfortunate Tot which carried away his tiller,
ropes and blocks, early in the a&ion, gave the
enemy an opportunity ofdifabbno her rigging
ft, much, that after nearly silencing our fire,
she made fail, and effected her escape. The
Goodrich having her main mad badly wound
ed.in three places, and her finding and run
ning rigging much Ihattered, culd not let
Sufficient fail to come up with her. Captain
Buchannan had one m ; dTipman, his boat-
Twain, and ope Teaman killed, and seven sea
men lightly wou,fd. His officers and men
behaved with great coolness and intrepidity,
and were anxiously busied in repairing the
ringing, &c. for rehewing the action The
rebel ihi, having directed her fire at the Gfofc
ricß's figging, mull have fuffered greatly in
her. hull, which, when she bore away, seemed
much Mattered.
NEW-YORR, October ^fr
About iz o'clock last Saturday, Wt hid an
exceeding hard Gust of Ward, attended with
Thunder and a heavy Showet of Ra ; n mixed
with large Hail. The Lightning Bruck ^
House on the New- Dock, but it did little or
no Damage. Twp smell Boats overfet in the
river, but no Lives were loft.
A few Days ago died of a violent Fever,
Lieut. William Barry, of the Royal Foresters :
His Remains were interred at Mallet's Cove,
Long Illand, with all the Honours of War.
From the Chatham Paper of OF^'oer io
Extract of a letter flora Philadelphia, dated
October 8.
“ On Friday the2Bth ultimo, the whole ar
my marched Trim Wihiamiburgh to within one
mile of the enemy's works at York, and form
ed the firft line of circumvallatioh without any
loss. On the 29. h our troops had a few ikir
miffies with the enemy, but with little damage
on either fide ;| in the night the British evacu
ated Pidgeon Quarter, and three ottier re
doubts, which are so high' as to bauble to
command the town: These were taken pos
session of on Sunday mor-ong at fun-rife, un
der a heavy cannonade from York Town.—lt
was expected our trobps Would break ground
on the firft infant. —Cornwallis's frrce in
York is fuppTed to be 6000 t^ops, includ
ing refugees, besides rood aimed Negroes;
Lyohas. pTellion of the river, and Gimccllct
ilrongly fortified, and garrih^d by about
rooo men. The Duke de Lucerne with his
1 legion, and 2000 marines from the flet,
watches their motions to prevent any escape
thht way.—One Tip of 44 ..uns, 2 frigates,
and a zp gun packet, lie at Bonellis landing
in James River ; one of 50, one of 40, two
frigates, and a ffore thio tn the mouth ofthe
river ; and three Tips ofconfiderable force are
in the river'brlow the town which were to
proceed inward wJith the firft fair wind. —Ge-
neral Washington sent in a flag to Lord Corn
wallis, directing him no: to destroy the Tip
ping or warlike stores. as he would answer tc
at his peril.—The easy capture of the out
polls will greatly accelerate the future opera
tions of our army.
" Lieut, Col. John Cpnolly was taken near
Yojk-Town by two militia men, and is parol
ed to Hanover in Virginia."

Dr. James's Fever Powder.
4 Few doses of this powder, taken according to the
T% printed directions, will remove any continual acut
fever in a few hours, though attended with convuifrens,
light-headedneft, and the\worft symptoms; but if'ad
midft' red at the beginning of a fever, one ddfe will often
be fufficient to perform a cure. It is likewise a most
effectual remedy for the small pox, me fles, pleurifes,
fore threats, acute rheumatifms,St. Anthony's fire, and
all inflammatory disorders, as also for the lowness of spi
rits proceedihg fiota flow and latent fevers, A tingle
dose will remarkably step the progress of a cold, and cer
tainly prevent the ill cbnfequenpcs of this complaint.
