NEW-YORK, November 18.
By petfons lately from Albany, which they left the
17th inst. we are informed that Sir John Johnlon had
made a descent upon the rebels by way of Ofwego, burned
Schoharie, and 12 houses in Ball's Town, at which left
he made prisoners a colonel James Gordon, an Assem
bly Man, with Captains Benedict and Collins, and
about 3 o men.--- Puffing by Fort Hunter to Conajoharie,।
crossed to Stone Arabia, where he burned the houfts ot,
the difaffeded, was attacked by a notable paitizan,l
Col. Brewne, (who had greatly distinguished hunfelf in r
reducing the garrison of Fort Chamblee to surrender in
1776, and taking the baggage, and cutting off part of
General Burgoyne's rear, at Ticonderoga Landing, in
1777) this fuccefsful partisan was killed on the spot
with sixty of his men ; Sir John then returned to Cona
joharie, fought and defeated General Renlfalear, without
the loss of a man; on his return to his batteaus on
Oneida Lake, his advanced party was attacked by the
garrison of Fort Dayton, upon the German Flats, but
the latter were beaten with the loss of one Captain and
seven privates; several batteaus with large quantities of
provisions and stores for Fort Stanwix, under a rebel
cfcorte, were taken on the Mohawk river, and carried
off by the Indians ; a party of 60 rebels, under Captain
Vrooman, from Fort Stanwix, in Ambush, attempting
to cut off his batteau guard on the Oneida Lake, were
all made prisoners: A small detachment from sir John s
main bud, has burned all the rebel houses between Fort-
Edward and Fort Miller. Our active Baronet on this
cxcurfion carried off with him about 600 hoircs, and a
considerable stock of horned cattle. #
By the fame channel we are informed, that there
were about 15 >0 British troops,, bcfr?es Volunteers and
Indians at Ticonderoga ; it was generally reported among
the rebels, that Col. Alien, 0: Vermont, had joined the
British at the above mentioned pest with 600 of bn
men. It was greatly tested the inhabitants of the New
Hampshire Grams, would lay down their a', 8 S U R
the rebel imereti. Some militia of the M hchulctts
were on their march that way, it was f u ppoied to put a
stop toit. , c c
On Tuesday last arrived in town the Lady and Son of
Brigadier General ARNOLD.
NEW- YORK, Nov. 20.
On Wednesday the 15th instant died, in
the 57th Year of her Age, Mrs. Cornelia
King, Wife of Captain Linus King, of this
City. If the Righteous arc to be held in ever
lasting Remembrance, her Lame is not to be
forgotten. How well Ihc discharged the Duties
of a good Wife, ar® a render Parent, an af
flifted Husband and a disconsolate Daughter
alone can fufficiently teltify ; but ah who were
happy in her Acquaintance will affectionately
acknowledge that she was devout without Su
perltition, charitable without Ostentation, and
temperate without Parftmony. In Simplicity
and godly Sincerity ffie had her Conversation
in this World, submitted to every Trial in her
Passage through it with becoming Patience
and Resignation, and is gone to receive the
Reward which is conferred on those who love
Mercy and walk humbly with their God.
The Mercury, Capt. Hill, from Mallrandt,
for Botton, was sent in here lad Week, by his
Majesty's Ship the America; She is loaded
with China, Tea, &c. &c.
The Brig Fly, Capt. Hamilton, from Lon
don, was taken off Charlellown Bar by a Rebel
Privateer, called the Adventure; but was af
terwards retaken by his Majesty's Ship Huflar,
Captain Pool, and sent in here.
Last Week arrived here from Liverpool, the
Ship Bella, Captain Liddle, and Ship James
and Rebecca, Captain Hardy ; the latter failed
the 27th of Augull, and the former the latter
End of July.
The bloop Betsey, Captain Bryan, from
Antigua for Newfoundland, put in here late
Saturday, not being able to get into the Land:
She is 30 Days out.
A Schooner called the Princess Royal, Capt.
Watson, failed from Antigua for this Port 30
Days ago; and a Schooner of 6 Guns arrived
at Antigua the Beginning of O&ober from this
Place.
His Majesty's Ships the Boreas and Grey
hound, the zd of Odober, carried into An
tigua, a Ship of 20 Guns, and a Brig, both

Yetterday an excellent Charity Sermon was
preached at St. George's Chapel, by the
Rev. Mr. Laming, when a large Collection
was made for the Use of the Charity School
in this City; and next Sunday Morning ano
ther Charity Sermon will be preached at St.
Paul's Church for the like laudable Design.
N.B. The fchooi confits of 86 scholar, viz. 56 uo„
and 3 0 girls. The children are intruded in the prin
ciples #f the Christian teflon, and in pLlmody ; they
constantly attend divine service at church, on week days
as well as Sundays; and the utmost attention is paiu to
their morals.
The boys are taught reading, writing, arithmetic and
merchants accompts; the girls, reading, writing, arith
metic and needle work: They are ad annually eloathed,
and are furnifhed with books, paper, &c. The school is
visited once a month, and the children are carefully exa
mined by a committee, canfifting of the Reflor, and h.ee
or four Members of the vestry of Trinity Church. When
any of the scholars are of age, and properly qualified, they
are put out to faitable trades or services; and others are
taken into their place.
This excellent institution is earnestly recommended to
the patronage of every benevolent mind. Orphans, and
the children of indigent parents, are her: by (hatched from
ignorance and vice, preserved from the influence of bad
examples, and are qualified to be ufeful members of so
ciety. Many refeftrbh tradesmen and citizens have
received their education in this school, Ls ON L y Support
is derived from voluntary donations, and collections at
those sermons which arc annually preached for the put
pofe. These clrcumftances, it is hoped, will warmly in
terest every generous and feeling heart in the prosperity
of an institution so laudable in irfelf, so beneficial to the
community---efpecully at the present time, when the
advanced price of fuel, cloathimg, &c. hath greatly in
creafcd the expence which attended it, and has already
reduced the managers ofit to m^ny difficulties.
