WILLIAMSBURG, Nov. 15. Last night an express arri
ved from Col. Christian, with letters to the Governor dated
October 23d, giving an account of his having passed the
tenefee river on the 18th of that month, without any moles
tation from the enemy, and after marching through several
Indian towns, at length arrived fafely in the llland Toon, the
lowermost but one on the river, which he found had been
precipitately abandoned, the Indians having only had time
to carry off their clothes and the best of their household goods,
with which they pushed off in canoes down the Tenefee.
They left behind them their horses, cattle, hogs, fowls, and
even dogs, with their whole crops of corn and potatoes,
which the Colonel learned was a very great one.—He expec
ted at his camp in the bland Town, as next day, the raven
warrior of Chote, with Oucanaftota, the Little Carpenter,
and a] number of other chiefs; having given them to under
stand, that if they did not immediately come in and make
submission, and agree to such terms as he Ihould deem to be
reasonable, that he would lay waste all the towns, and pur
sue their fugitive countrymen as far as the Creek nation.
The Colonel thinks it probable he may enter into a treaty
with them as he has good reason to beleive that all the old
warriors had been averse to the war, and that the rest were
itirred up by Cameron, by bribes and threats.—Two of his
scouts, on the road to Hywaffee, found and old woman and
two children in the woods, almost famifhed with hunger and
cold, having been out fix days and nights without fire or
provisions of any kind, except berries and haws. The sol
diers took compassion upon the poor wretches, made them a
fire and gave them victuals. They also met a young man
who had loft his wife, and was then in search of her ; they
called to him to come to them, on which he clubbed his gun
and came up. Heinformed, that the villian Cameron pushed
off to the Creek nation as soon as he heard Col. Chriflian had
creffed Broad river.

Philadelphia, Nov. 26, 1776.
TWO gentlemen, at present in separate branches of gen
teel and profitable manufaftory-bufirtefs, both of which
will clear a great profit, even in time of importation, but
more so at this present time, and one of them is the only
manufactory of that kind in all America, intend joining in
partnership, on account of the connexion their manufacto
ries nave together, and of the support they can receive from
one another, and to carry on the lame with more mutual ad
vantage. 1 hey want, for such purpose, a gentleman that is
willing to advance eight hundred or one thousand pounds
for to carry on the lame with greater and more benefit to tht
public than now is done, and to have full employment for
about four hundred people. They will allow to the lender
a profit of twenty per cent per annum ; and for security
pledge to said lender the present whole flock of their said
manufactories, with all their utenfiis, &c. who likewise fo.all
have liberty to infpedt their respective manufactory books as
often as he pleases, and to draw his share of profit out every
three or fix months, according to his own liking.
Any gentleman that has such a sum to spare, and fpirit
enough to promote the welfare of this continent, will please
to leave a line, feaied up, for A. B, with the printer, ap
pointing the place and time where and when he may be
waited upon, that matters, with particulars, may be ex
plained to him more fully.
As said manufactories are brought already to great perfec
tion, and in a flourishing condition, it is hoped none will
apply but such as can advance the above said sum in ready
money, part of which will be wanted when the contract
is made.
