NEW-Y OR K, July 23.
We hear a great Number of the Inhabitants,
who formerly lived on Long-Island, but went
to Connecticut about five Yea# ago, accom
panied the French Troops that lately vinted
Lloyd's Neck, in Expectation of being rein
stated on their Plantations, by the powerful
Akikance of a French Fleet of 24 Sail of the
Line, with 10,000 Men, who they were told
were then at Sandy-Hook, and only waited
the Reduction of Long-lfland, to facilitate
their landing; but the precipitate Retreat of
the French has railed their Indignation to such
a Degree,that they heartily with them all again
in Old France, and curfefthe Dav of their Arri
val among them in this once happy Country.
The Night the French and Rebels left
Long-Island, some of their Followers, who cal
led themselves Skinners, flopped at the House
of Mr. John Buttler, near Oyster-Bay, and de
manded his Money, but on his denying that
he had any, they fixed Ropes to his Neck and
his Son's, threw them over the Door, and had
nigh Strangled them both, in order to extort
a Confeffion Where their Cadi was hid, but
they continuing inflexible, were re^eafed from
their Torture,' when the Skinners flea'd Mr.
Buttler of Plate and Goods to the Amount o>
300]. Mr. Farley, and one Mr. Wright, of
Oyfterbay, we hear have been Since robbed
cf considerable Sums of Money, by the lame
Set of Skinners also.,
Friday Morning lak, his M/jefty's Sloop of
War the Hornet, Francois linsley, Esq;
Commanded arrived here from England, in 8
Weeks, having left the Downs the 24th of
May.
We hear his Majesty's Ship the Nonfuch, of
64 Guns, Sir James Wallace, Commander,
about the Middle of May, fell in with a French
Flag Ship in the Bay of Biscay, of 90 Guns,
with whom he had a very severe Engagement,
in which he loft 23 Men killed, and nad 47
wounded, but the Monsieur finding he could
pain no Advantage ov Sir James, thought
proper to make the belt of his Way into Port,
after receiving a very severe Chastisement.
This Engagement happened in the Night, mid
it is said the Ships weie so close to each ether
as to carry awav theAnchors Irom their Bows.
On Sir James's Arrival in Port, he was
immediately appointed to the Command of
a new Ship of 74 Guns, called the Irrefutable.
The People'in England, we are told are in
high Spirits, and that there is not the leak
Appearance of Peace with any of the bellige
rent Powers!
Part of the Fleet from St. Euftatia for Eng
land, we hear was arrived; tis said some of
them have been captured within 20 Leagues
cf the Land, by the French Admiral La Motte
Picquet; and that Admiral Darby was sent in
Quest of him with 10 Sail of the Line.
The General Assembly cf the Province of
New-Jersey, has passed a Law to raise by vo
luntary Inliftment, 450 Men for compleati g
the Quota of Troops belonging to that Colo
ny, in the Servive of the United orates ; and
also another Aft to oblige the Inhabitants to

SO exceedingly valued by all People °vko have bad
of them in Croat-Britain and Ireland, for their
transcendent Excellency in the defraying Worms of all
kinds both in the Bodies of Men, ifomen, andCbildren,
by not only breaking the Knots in the Duodenum or Gut
next, the Siomacb, but they pass through the fmallert
Pafages of the Body, and purge anvay the rosy and
(limy Humours whith are the cause of those pernicious
Vermin, andthe force of many other Difa<ers; they
are one of the be, Purges in the whole World for gross
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, and have
large Bellies; their Operation is mild, fafe andfea
feint ; they wonderfully cleanj'e the Bowels of all fiff
and clammy Humours^ qpbichfop up the Parts and
prevent the Juice of Food being conveyed to the Liver
and made Blood, which is often 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: Likewifefettled Aches and Pains in
the Head, swellings, old fores; scabs, Tetters, or
Breakings-Out, will be perfectly cur'd, andthe Blood
and skin refored io its original Purity, and fmootb
nefs; they purge by Urine, and bring away the Gra
vel, andeffkßually cure all ObfruHions of the Urine,
or Ulcers in the Kidneys. They at once jirike at the
true cause of the feurvy, and entirely defroy it, at all
fcorbutick Humors and Efedls, Root and Branch, so
as never to return again, and what makes them more
commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both tape
and fight, as Loaf Sugar; and in their Operation as
innocent as new 'Milk.
l have by theft Plumbs cured a great many Children
of the Whooping-Cough, and Agues, which Dis
tempers are very common and troublesome to Families,
and the Want of tbefe Plumbs are the Ruin of Many
Children's Confiitutions.
The Plumb is a great Dicuretick, cleaning the Reins
of Slime; it expels Wind, and is a sovereign Medicine
in the Cbolick and griping of the Guts. It allays and
carries off four Vapours which occafon many Disorders
in the Head. Ft opgns all ObfruHions in the Stomach,
Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder; causes agoodAp^
petite and helps Digestion. It hath been found won
derfully fuccejsful to such Perfans as are going into
Chronical Difempers, as Aflbmas, Pbtbificks, Short
ness of Breath, Dropsies and Yellow Jaundice. Now
I hope all impartial Persons arefatisfied, that the Me
dicine which works upon such Humours, will almost
teach any Distemper, if not too far gone, face Corrup
tion and PutrefaHion are the Fore-runners of all Dis
eases; therefore no better Pbyf.ck can be taken for all
Ages, Sexes and Constitutions, from Infancy to an old
Age. Sold By HUGH GAINE.
And therefore highly necessary to be kept in
Eau de Fleurs de Venice;
OR, THE
VENETIAN BLOOM WATER.
THIS curious Water is extracted by an elaborate
chymical process from the most; fragrant flowers,
and the purest dew collected in the month of May, and is
without difpute<the most excellent cosmetic or beauty
waffi, ever yet discovered ; giving to the /kin the greatest
clearness, together with the fineft whiteness and fottnefs
imaginable, ft takes away pimples, freckles, and foots
of every kind, with all disagreeable redness, tan, or sun
burn. It renders a rough /kin finely fmootb, and de
stroys those minute worms which are so often lodged un
der and deform the /kin. It is po/Teffed of such a nou
ri/hing quality, that it preserves from wrinkles even vo
an advanced age, and in Hunt, it so opeqs the pores of
the skin, and promotes the perforation of it, that it
gives the whole complexion, in a very mort. time, that
freffi, healthful and blooming appearance which it ought
naturally to have when fee from any disorder. This
admirable Water is not in the least of the nature of paint,
being of itfelf as clear and transparent as the fineft
chryftal, nor is there the findleft particle of Mercury,
or any other corrosive fiibftance in its competition, but it
is in all refpe<fts perfectly fafe, innocent and harmless.
