of his Majefy's ftth Regiment of Foot.
Saturday 'laft being the Anniversary of St.

The fame Day the Brig Peggy,Capt.Haftie,
arrived here from Glasgow, which Place she
left the zoth of December last, but has brought
no late Prints,
Saturday Night the Schooner Saccefs, Capt.
Trelane, arrived here from Halifax, butlaft
from Penoblcot, where all was peaceable and
quiet : Six Days ago Capt.Trelane fell in with
and re-took the Brig Fortune, Capt. Sutter,
from this Port for Newfoundland, that three
Days before had been taken by the Rebel Pri
vateer Brig Marquis le Fayate,Capt. Richards,
of 16 Guns, and 90 Men, belonging to New-
London. The Fortune was sent to Halifax.
A Rebel Prisoner that was taken on board
the Brig, belonging to the Privateer, and is
now here, fays, That their Vessel failed from
Newport, Rhode-Ifland, on Thursday Night
the Bth Instant, in Company with the French
Fleet, the whole, including their Privateer,
amounting to 14; but that Capt. Richards left
the Fleet the Night hfter they said.
Oar Informant fays, the French left some of
their Troops at Newport, but not one Ship

. By a Letter from a Gentleman in Penobfcot
to his Friend in this City, we learn, That
Capt. Long, in the Privateer Schooner Argyle
of that Port, failed from thence on the 15th
of February, on the 17th in the Evening they
came to anchor ab^ut 4 Miles diltant from
where Brigadier General ,Vadfwbrih had his

3 of his Men Prisoners, the Rest (except some

transcendent Excellency in the dejiroying Worms of all
kinds both in the Bodies of Men, Women, andCbildren,
by not only breaking the Knots in the Duodenum or Gut
next the Btomacb, but they pass through the smallest
Passages of the Bed}', And purge aivay the ropy and
(limy Humours which are the cause of those pernicious
Vermin, andthe source of many oth^r Disorders; they
are one of the bes Burges in the whole World for grojj
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, and have
large Bellies; their Operation is mild, fafe and plea
feint ; they wonderfully cleanse the Bowels of all ftiff
and clammy Humours 'which ftof up the Parts and
prevent the Juice of Pood being conveyed to the Liver
and made Blood, which is often the Case with Children,
and is attended with a ba~d Belly, finking Breath,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, end a Deca, of ftrengtb in
the lower parts: Likewise fettled Aches and Pains in
the Head, fwe!!ings, old fores, scabs, Tetters, or
Breakings-Out, ivill fie perfectly cur'd, and the Blood
and skin refared to its original Purity, and smooth
ness; they purge by Urine, and bring away the Gra

or Ulcers in the Kidneys. They at once frike at the
true cause of the feurvy, and entirely defers it, at all
fcorbutick Humors and Effefls; Root and Branch, so
as never to return again, and what makes them more
commendable is, the, are full as agreeable to both tafe
and fight, as Leaf Sugar; and in their Operation as
innocent as new Milk.
I have by theft Plumbs cured a great man. Children
of the Whooping-Cough, and Agues, which Dis
tempers are ver, common and troublesome to Families,
and the Want of these Plumbs are the Ruin of Mm,
Children's Conflitution,.
The Plumb is agriat Dieuretick, cleaning the Reins
of Slime; it expels Wend, and is a sovereign Medicine
in the Cbolickand griping of the Guts. It alleys and
carries off four Vapours which occasion many Disorders
in th&HNd. It opens allO^frations in the Stomachy
Langs, Liver, Reins and Bladder ; caffes a good Ap
