- NEW-YORK, July i.
The Discontents at the intolerable Burden^
imposed by theUfurpers> grow very formidable
in New-England. By a Person just arrived in
nine Days from a Town not 50 Miles fium
Bolton, we learn, that a Body of about 150
ofe in the County of Hampshire, in the Pro
vince of the Maflachufett's- Bay, a Fortnight
ago, and broke the Jal at Springfield, for the
Redemption of the Revd. Mr. Ely, who had
been imprisoned upon a Charge of Sedition, in
exciting the People against the Measures of
the present Rulers. Three of his Deliverers
were then imprisoned ; but they also were
soon released by a much larger Body, of not
less (as our Informer fays) than 6000 of the
Inhabitants.-—The People, it seems, will not
submit to Taxes for prolonging the Tyranriy
of the Congress ; and the common Voice is
for Peace and a Re-union with the Parent
Country, and more especially so in the Wes
tern County of Berkshire, and in the great
and populous Counties of Hamphite and
Worcester adjoining it 011 the LLt.
According to the Mod^l of the new Cdm
mon-wealth, contrived by the Independents
of the Maffachufett's-Bay, in the Year 1780,
a real Estate that rents for/}3, or a personal
Estate of the Value of / 60, entitled a Man
to a Vote for an AiLoLly-man ; and every
Town is to fend a Member, or be fined as the
Affercbly Ihall think fit. If it is true, as thr
own News Papers of the 3d of June allert,
that above 150 Towns have tefufed to ele&
Members in May last, the present General
Court at Briton must exhibit Symptoms of a
Consumption not very flattering to French
Politicks upon America Ground By the
Conftitutie^ such Towns as contain 375
Voters or rateable Polls, are to fend 2 Mem
bers ; and if they have 600 Voters 3 Mem
bers ; and a Member for every 225 Voters
more. The Clamors against Taxes, and es
pecially against Half-pay to reduced Officers
of the Army, arc loud in every one of the
Extern Colonies; and in Maflachufets there
is every Appearance of an approaching gene
ral infurre&ion against the present Tyranny.
Washington's Force, in and about Weft-
Point, is supposed to be about 5000 Men :
The late Rumpus in his Camp was in the
Connecticut Line, owing to their not receiv
ing any Pay for some Time past.—They in
tended to have gone in a Body to Hartford,
where the Afkmbly of Connecticut were
fitting, and oblige them to redress their Grie
vances ; b^t tee Matter was fettled with
them on their receiving new Cloathing.
Last Tutfday Night a Whale Boat at
tempted to land at the Narrows, on Long
liland near the House or Dennis Dcnnife,
Esq; but they were so ^warmly received by
four of the Queen's Rang rs, Centlies at
that Place, that they were soon obliged to
take to th ir Oars: Some of the Gentries
were wound rd in several Places.
His MajtlLY bin, Atalanrt, C,r< ^rett,
has taken neat Mi ids Bafon, at 1 Tftx, a
Rebel Schooner of 6 Guos, and ,5 h ,;
and the Bikram Privateer ot Annapolis
Royal, b.s also taken another A the lame
Sort, commanded by ^ne Dunn.
The Ship Suffolk, Capt, Caines'; and the
Ships Albi n and Sally ; all from Liverpool,
are taken by 2 Ship < Td the Pot us, and Tent
^to St. Kitts, and ME.inTo.
Friday last the schooner lolly, Davibn,
Matter, from Connecticut, laden with Corn,
Fork, &c+ was f nt in here by the Sloop Affo
ciati m, Capt. Thomas ;' captured offFaulk
land's Bland in the Sound.
Two large Gallies, supposed from Baftcn,
have been 0 uifing off Sandy-Hook molt Part
of latt Week, and were seen four Days since
off Rockaway: 'Tis said they carry some
weighty Metal.
One of the above-mentioned Gallies
braided a Flag from Virginia, last Satur
day, that came up Yesterday ; and we hear
(he carries four 9 Pounders.
His MajAlv's N hip the Bellifarius, Capt.
Graves, Trit Week run affiore near New-
London, a luge Privateer Brig of 18 Guns,
whic) he imagined could not be got off again.
We are sorry to inform the Publick that his
Majeit) s Ship the Blonde, was unfortunately
loft on the Roc ks off the Great Seal Island on
the loth of May last, but all the People hap
pily saved their Lives except one Man, who
perifo ri by his own obftinacv : ---Thus were
the pLafing Hopes and Expectations of both
Officers and Men of this tine Frigate (well
coppered, and failed as fwift as the Vilad)
totally fruftrated, and themselves cast on a
desolate Ifla. d ---They were taken off by rhe
American Privateers, I ively and Scammel,
Captains Adams and St xldard, who humanely
received them on board their Ships--- treated
them with great civility, and at then leaving
them, furnished them with a P.ls to prevent
any of their Privateer# from molering them.
The Brigantine Totten, Thomas Blundell,
Flatter, from St. Thomas's f^r Philadelphia,
loaded with Rum and Dry Goods; and the
Slo v Flora, Capt. Gidiis, from Martinico
for Virginia, or both carried into Antigua; by
his Majesty's private Ship of War Amazon,
Capt. Hughes.
The two following Paragraphs are taken
from an Antigua Paper, dated
St. John's, May 21, 1782.
A kind and conttant friend has indulged
Us with the following extract of a letter dated'
at St. Thomas's, the 4th instant, from a gen
tleman who was at Coracoa when the Ihips
hereafter mentioned arrived there.
“ On the 17th ult. came into Curacoa,
part ofMonf.de (jraffe's fquadron.--thcEville,
Hercule, Pluton and Marfeillois, very much
Mattered in the action of.the 12th. One of
them run aground without the harbour's
morith, but I am informed since got oft
without injury."
The following paragraphs a^e extracted
from the Pennsylvania Packet, of June 20.
'' Our advices from France, a, late as the
Ift of May, brought by the brig Betsey, Capt.
Gallagher, (mentioned in our last to have
been drove, on snore near Lewis-town creek
by the enemy's cruisers in the bay) inform us,
that five of the seven States of Holland had
resolved to accede to the independence of the
United States of America, and the Prince
Stadtholder had declared that he sh )uld no
longer oppose a measure which the people at
large appeared so eaineftly to with the accom
pllhment of: the States General were to
meet on the 16th of April, when it'was not
doubted that a formal declaration of the in
dependence of Amer ca would be one of the
firft pieces of business which would come be
fore theii High Mightipeffes.
This agreeable piece of news is however,
attended by another not of so favourable an
afpe&, as it was said that a fleet of about 30 1
fail of store ships and merchantmen, under
convoy of a 74 gun ship, and three frigates,
which left Brest about the middle of April,
bound to the East and Weft-indies, was so
unfortunate, fix hours after they had left port,
as to fall in with Admiral Barrington, com
manding a squadron of B itifli men of war, 1
when the convoy were difpeifed 4 three of ;
the ships of war had returned, but it was ,
feared\fome of the merchantmen and ftore
fhips were taken.
" So far from suing for a peace, as has
been represented by our enemies, the States
General were taking every measure for an
active and decided war, and it was fuppofed'
would have thirty ships of the line ready forl
sea by the beginning of summer."
