terday fe'unighc in 23 days from Martinico,
the mailer of which, we hear brings, an ac
count, that just befoie he failed, a reffel ar
rived there in a short passage from Marseilles
in France, and brought an account, that the
combined fleets of France and Spain, together
with the British, were returned into port, by
express orders from their relpedive courts ;
and that the mediating powers were negoci
ating in order to bring about a peace, which
it is thought would soon take place.
Friday fall arrived here, Capt. Jarvis, in a

forms, that 7 fail of Count D'Elhing's fleet
had arrived there from Georgia, the day be
fore he failed, that it was reported be Count

From the Pennsylvania Journal,
January 26.
Extract of a letter from Annapolis, Mary
land, January 14. “ The Assembly have not
complied with the requisition of Congress, be
cause the Senate would not pats the bill for
seizure and confifeation of British property."
" The emissions of Nov. 1776 are called in.
The holders of the bills have their election,
whether to receive bills of exchange, or cer
tificates bearing interest ; but if the bills of
exchange are protested, the date is not to be
accountable. The bills are not to be received
or redeemed after the firft of June next. I
believe few will take the bills of exchange, as
they will in all probability be protested.
" This Rate will, in March, and confifeate
British property; and the ministry of Great-
Britain will detain our bank dock co fatisfy
our creditors, or those whose ellates may be
confifcated."
Our last Accounts from Jersey are, That
General Washington was at his Head (Quar
ters at Morris-Town, that there was no more
than a Captain's Guard at Eiizabeth-Town,
and no other Guard at Newark than the In
habitants.
By Accounts from Philadelphia as late as
last Tuesday, we learn, that the Grand Meet
ing which was to have been held there some
Time ago, by Delegates from the Different
Provinces to regulate Prices is come to nothing,
several of the Colonics never having sent any
Representatives.
On Sunday Evening the 30th ult. a Party
of 13 mounted Refugees, went to Raway, a
Place about 4 Miles from Eiizabeth-Town, in
New-Jersey, where they surprised Lieutenant
Wynants of the Rebel Militia, and 8 Privates
of Col. Jacques's Regiment that had been on
a Party of Pleasure with some young Ladies :
They dismissed the Ladies, but brought away
4 Men, 4 Sleighs, andg Horses, without the
least Hurt to themleives. The Sleighs were
brought to this City the next Day, with the
Horses on the Ice.
By a Veflel that arrived here from the Che
fapeak last Monday Evening, we are informed,
that the Admiral's Fleet was seen the 28th of
December last, standing to the Southward,
and that during the Gale we had here that
Day, the said Ship carried double-reefed Top
fails, and that no Mifchief was to be appre
hended to the Fleet on that Account.
Last Wednesday Night a Party, confining
of four Flank Companies of the Guards, De
tachments f om two Hessian Battalions, some
mounted Jagers, and mouted Refugees, all
under the Command of Col. Norton, of the
Guards, proceeded in a Number of Sleighs
to Young's House, near the White-Plains,
about 4 Miles to the Eastward of the North-
River, and 30 from this City, Information
having been received that a Body of about 200
Rebels had taken Post there.
At nine the next Morning (the Sleighs be
ing sent back) the Troops formed the House,
and charging a Body of the Enemy advan
tageously polled in the Orchard, the former
was carried and burnt, and the latter being
defeated, the Object of the Excursion became
perfect.
The Loss of the Enemy confined in be
tween 40 and 50 killed, and 97 Prisoners,
amongst the former a Captain, and the latter
Col. Thompson, of the 10th Massachusetts
Regiment, and several Subalterns, all of whom
were brought to this City last Friday. The
Loss of our Troops were 5 killed and 18
wounded.
The Refugees in the above Service, were
commanded by Col. James De Lancey. I heir
Behaviour was highly applauded by all the
British and German Troops.
A few Days ago, upon the Return of the
Sleighs which had been drove over the Ice
from Staten-Island (as mentioned above) the
Party fell in with a Number of the Enemy upon
the Oyfler-Banks in Newark-Bay, of whom
they took an Officer and eight Privates.
We hear there is a Vessel arrived at Boston
from Gottenburgb, that has brought London
Papers as late as the Bth of October.
The following arc the Names of the Prisoners
brought in by Col. Norton.
Lieut. Col. Thompson, Captain Abraham
Watson, Capt. Lieut. Michael Farley, Lieut.

Incomparable Worm-destroying
SUGAR PLUMB S,
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceeding!) valued by all People who have had
of them in Great -Britain and Ireland, Jor tbeif
tranfeendent Excellency in the defraying 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 pajs through the smallest
Passages of the Body, and purge aavay the ropy and
slimy Humours which are the coufe of thoje pernicious
Vermin, and the Source of many other Disorders; they
are one of the bes Purges in the whole World for grofe
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, and have
large Bellies; their Operation is mild, faJe and plea,
jant ; they wonderfully cleanse the Bowels of ail sass
nd clammy Humours which flop up the Parts and
prevent the fries of Food being conveyed to the Liver
and made Blood, which is ojten the Case with Children,
and is attended with a hard Belly, finking Breath,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Decay of Strength in
the lower parts: Likewise fettled Aches and Pains its
the Head, Swellings, o'd Sores, Scabs, Tetters, or
Breakings-Out, will be t erfeftly cur'd, and the Blood
and Skin reflored to its original Purity, and Smooth
ness ; they purye by Urine, and bring away the G a
vel, and effedualiy cure all ObJirufltons oj the Urine\
or Ulcers in tbe'Kidneys. They at once frike at the
true cause of the Scurvy, and enti ely defroy it, at all
fcorbutick Humors and Effefts, 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 tight, as Loaf Sugar; and in their Operation as
innocent as new Milk.
I have by thafe Plumbs cured a great many Child, est
of Whooping or Chin-Coughs, and Agues, which Dij
tempers are very common and troublesome to Families,
and the Want of these Plumbs are the Ruin aj Many
Children's Conflitutions.
The Plumb is a great Dieuretick, cleansing the Reins
of Slime; it expels Wind, and is a fiver sign Medicine
in the Cbolick and griping of the Guts. It allays and
carries off four Vapours which occasion many Disorders
in tire Head. It opens all Objiruflions ir. the Stomach,
Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder; caufrs a good Ap
petite and helps Digestion. It hath been found won
derfully facce/ful to Jucb Persons as are gyring into
Chronical Difempers, as Asthmas, Phtiri/icks, Mxrt
nefs of Breath, Dropjies and fellow Jaundice. Now
I hope all impartial Perlons are fatisfied, shat the Me
dicine which works upon foch Humours, will ahnq,
teach any Diriemper, if not too far gone, fn<e Corrup
tion and Putrefaftion are the Fore-runners of all Dis
eases; therefore no better Pbyfick can be taken jet ail
Ages, Sexes and Cenfituticns, 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 jrem
40 to 50. Each Box containing one Dozen of tbefe
Plumbs. Price $ Shillings, with Direßi^s. Sola by
