restore this Country from Anarchy and Tyranny, to
the Happiness it once enjoyed, altho' they had in
view the Devastation brought on their Homes, and in
their Power the Perpetrators of it, prefer^ Meicy
to Revenge.
Compare this Spirit with all that is related in the
History of the Massachusetts-Bay. New-Yorkers,
think who you oppose, and who you have to refill.
When People so circumstanced obtain Pardon, those
who voluntarily come in, may exped to be received
with open Arms, and soon be restored to Share the
Blessings they formerly enjoyed, and commence the
happiest People under the Sun.
A Person who left the Army under the Command
-of General Sir Henry Clinton, on Thursday
Jaft, fays, That on Wednesday the Great Chain
which the Rebels had placed across the River, was
fever'd in two, when our Gallies proceeded up oppo
site New-Windsor, under the Command of Sir James
Wallace, Captain of his Majeffy's Ship Experiment,
rof ^o'Guns ;---that the fame Day the Rebels fired
on a Flag font to their Fort Constitution at Martlet's
Rock, which, however, though the strongest on Hud
son's River, they evacuated in the Evening, firft
burning their Barracks, and spiking up their Can
non. TheChain above-mentioned was near a Mile
in Length, reach Link weighing upwards of 6olb.
That Major General Vaughan commands at Fort
Montgomery, and Major Gen. Tryon at Fort Con
stitution ; that in the three Forts were taken 64
Pieces of fine Cannon, and great Quantities of
Bread, Flour, Beef, Pork, and military Stores ; that
the Gallant Count GabrouSki, lately arrived from
England, is dead of his Wounds. Amongst the
Prisoners is Col. William Allilon, of the Drowned
Lands, whose Son was killed in the Fort. This
Person is a Member of the Provincial Congress for
the State (as it is termed) of New-York. Also
young William Livingfion, late of this City, in the
Profeffion of the Law. These Prisoners, with many
other Officers, and, we are told, about 300 Privates
were brought to Town last Saturday. Great Part of
the 12.00 Rebels, who garrisoned the Forts Montgo
mery and Clinten, or were not killed or Prisoners,
made their Escape, as it was very dark when the
Forts were taken ; that the Forbearance and Huma
nity ffiewn by all the Troops to the Rebels, after
they became their Conquerors, was aftodiihing, and
favoured of that benign Temper which ever Charac
terifes the Army of Great-Britain.
A Gentleman of Charader arrived from General
Burgoyne's Army, informs us, That they were in
good Health and Spirits on the 28th U't. near Still
water ; that they were shortly to be reinforced by
Col. Butler, with a conhderable Body of the Six
Nation Indians, who were then crossing the Coun
try, and that they soon expected to give a good Ac
count of the Rebels, who were much difpiiited since
their late Defeat, in which they had above 1200
killed and wounded, and had 600 of the latter sent
to Albany: That Gen. Burgoyne's Aimy was much
augmented by the Recruits and Drafts who arrived
at Quebec last July, and also by many good and loyal
Subjeas on Hudson's River.
For several Days past, we have had Accounts
from different Parts of the Country of an Engage
ment between the Royal Army, and that of the Re
bels, at a Place called Chefnut Hill, near German
town, in Pennsylvania, on Friday the 3d Instant, in
which the latter have loft 3000 Men ; in our next we
The 30th Ultimo, in the Night, a Tender be
longing to the Halifax armed Brig, chafed a feall
Privateer from Boston, into Norwalk, in Connecti
cut, which so alarmed the Inhabitants of that Place,
that many run out of their Houses naked, one in
particular, jumped cut of a Window into a Hog
Pen, not thoroughly awake, and cried out, “ Bro
thers let me deep with you."
Last Wednesday Morning L ; eut. Col. Innes, In
fpe&or General of the Provincial Forces, arrived here
from Fort Montgomery, with the agreeable News,
that, on Monday Evening the 6th Instant, that Fort,
with Fort Clinton and its Dependencies, were taken
by Storm by his Majesty's Troops under the Com
mand of Lieut. General Sir Henry Clinton.
Our Loss does not exceed 150 killed and wounded.
The Gallantry and Perfeverauce of theßritifh,Heffian
and Provincial Troops, cannot be fufficiently ap
plauded. Immediately after the Surrer der of the Forts
the Rebels set fire to their Frigates, Gallies, &c.
We are sorry to inform the Public, that Lieut. Col.
Campbell, of the gid Regiment, Major Sill of the
63d, Major Grant of (he New-York Volunteers,
and Capt. Stewart, of the 26th Regiment, are among
the killed.
When a Place is fummpned, and stands a Storm,
the Rule perhaps, the Policy of War, admits, no
Quarter. But the magnanimous Conqueror of the
Forts Montgomery and Clinton, had his Mind replete
with more nobfe Sentiments, lately drawn from his
Royal Master, who wishes to save and convert, mid
still confiders even a Rebel a Soldier loft. This Idea
was soon adopted by the Soldiers, for no feoner did
a Rebel Officer, who could plead nothing in his own
Name, beg Mercy for the Sake of a Sifter or a
Friend, but the up-lifted Bayonet was flayed against
the most insolent Offender.
The Provincial Troops who are npw fighting to
NEW-YOR K, October 13.
LaR Sunday Week, Colonel James De Luncey,
with 60 of his Welt-Cheder Light horse, went
from King's Bridge to the White Plains, where they
took from the Rebels 44. Barrels of Flour and two
Ox Teams, near 100 Head of Black Ca*tk, and
300 Fat Sheep and Hogs ; on this Service Mr. Pur
ely, a very refyeclable Inhabitant of Weft-Cheder
County, was killed ; there were also F:ve Horles
Riot by the Rebels.
On Tuesday the 7th Inst. departed this Life in
the yzd Year of his Age, at his House on 'Sta
ten-Ifland, the Revd. Richard Charlton,
Missionary from the honorable Society for propa
gating the Gospel in Foreign Parts.
This worthy Clergyman was born in Ireland,
and received his Education in Trinity College,
Dublin. He came over to this Country soon after
he entered into Holy Orders; and was the fiift
Missionary of New-Windsor, on Hudson's River.
From thence he moved to this City, being choferi
Assistant Minister of Trinity Church, and Catechist ;
in which Station he continued several Years, before
his Appointment to the Mdfionary of Staten-Illand
in 1747, where he remained ever since.
Sincere and Steady in Friendship, charitable to the
diftreffeu, and heritable to all, he ws deservedly
esteemed and refpe&ed. Amidst the Confufions of
the present Rebellion, his Loyalty was unshaken—
His Attachment to the Constitution in Church and
State, unalterably firm. The great Increase of his
Congregation, during his Incumbency for thirty
Yeats at Staten-IRand, was an Evidence of the
Assiduity with which he discharged the Duties of
his Office ; and the Tears which were plentifully
shed over his Remains at the Grave, by the Mem
bers of his Flock, were a sure Indication that they
canfidered themselves as having loft, in him, a
Father and Friend.
By the Accounts received at St. Augustine from
Georgia, the Rebels in that Province are greatly
harraffed upon the Frontiers and back Settlements,
by the Creek Indians. The Rebels under Arms in
that Province, we are affurtd do not exceed 300 men.
By different Informations, the People there are
grown weary of the Tyranny of the Congress.
Yesterday a smart Firing was heard here, supposed
to be at Elizabeth-Town Point, in New-Jersey, at a
Sloop in his Majesty's Service Rationed near that
Place.
By Capt. Maddox that arrived this Morning in 6
Weeks from Liverpool, we learn, That the Account
of the Evacuation of Ticonderoga was received in
England; and that the Ship Lady Gage, from this
Port, was arrived at Liverpool.
A particular Account of the Operations of the
Army under the Command of Lieut, General Sir
Henry Clinton, and of the Navy under the
Command of Commodore Hotham, in the Attack
and taking the Fores Clinton, Montgomery, and
Constitution, will be published this Day, from good
Authority, by James Rivington, Printer to
the King's Most Excellent Majesty.
On Thursday Evening the 9111 of October was
buried in Trinity Church Yard, in this City, Mrs.
Jane Campbell, Widow of Mr. Robert Campbell,
of Fresh Ponds in New Jersey, Daughter of Mr.
Andrew Gillafpie of Ennifkillen, in Ireland, and
Sifter to Mr. John Gillafpie of Charleftown South
Carolina; flie was 70 Years of Age.
Died at Newport the Bth Ult. Francis Banks,
Esq; Commander of his Majesty's Ship Renown.
Last Thursday arrived the Brigantine Dunvegan,
John Smith, from St. Augustine, after a Pillage of
17 Days. When Capt. Smith left that Place, the
Rangers commanded by Col. Thomas Brown, con
fiding of about 138, together with 200 Creek In li
ans, had removed from the River St. John's to St.
Mary's, upon the Confines of Georgia, where they
were to be reinforced in a few Days with 500 Regu
lirs from the Garrison of St. Augustine, under the
Command of Major Glazier, of the 60th Regiment,
in order to join the People of St. Andrew's Parish
in that Province, who were determined to take Arms
against the Rebel Government in that Support.—
A few Days before some Indians had arrived at St.
Augustine, with several Scalps from Georgia.
Last Thursday Week One-fourth of the Militia
were ordered to be drafted at Norwalk, in Connec
ticut, in older to be sent on immediate Service, but
they to a Man refund to go out of the Province on
any Account whatsoever : The Meeting was then
put off to a future Day, in Hopes of finding the
People more bold.
Last Friday Evening was sent in here by a Tender
belonging to his Majesty's armed Brig Halifax, the
Sloop Mary-Anne, John White, Master, with a
Cargo of Flour, bound from Norwalk, in Con
ne&icut, to Dartmouth, in Maffichufett's Bav.
