NEW-YORK, June 12.
Monday last, in order to celebrate the anni
versary of his Majelty's birth-day, a very ele
gant entertainment was given by his Excel
lency Major General Robertion, to all the
British and German Generals, with their
suites, the Lieut. Governor, Chief Justice,
and the rest of his Majesty's Council.
Henry Cruger, Esq; of this city, merchant,
died at Bristol the sth of February last, in the
76th year of his age: He saw his approaching
diffolocion, and met it with a chearful forti
tude, esteeming it a happy release from a pain
ful state, and a wicked troublesome world.
Wednesday last arrived the letter of marque
ship Tartar, Cape-Dougan, in 17 days from St.
Kitts; by her we learn, that Admiral Rodney's
fleet is reinforced with four fail of the line,'
one of them a : fine new ihip ot 74 guns, lately
arrived from England. All the (hips damaged
in the late engagement, have been repaired at
sea, and the Admiral was, when the Tartar
failed, off Port-Royal, Martinico, with the
French fleet in view, to windward, towing
three of their crippled drips, which they were
under a necessity of abandoning, or run the
rifque of another engagement with the British,
fieet, whose fuperiorjey over them was very
evident.
Last Wednesday Morning his Majesty's Shis'
Iris, of 32 Guns, Capt. Hawker, fell in, (off
the East End of Ldng-Ifland) with L'Hermo
nie Frigate, erf 36 Guns, and alter an En
gagement of an Hour and twenty Minutes,
having 7 Men killed, and 9 wounded, forced
her to retire with great Loss ; the Iris pursued
the Enemy in vain, her Fore top-fail Yard be
ing ffior away, and was ocherwife greatly in
jured, and notwithstanding a Rebel Frigate
hove in Sight, the Frenchman continued to:
retire, tho' he out-failed the then crippled'
Iris : Capt. Hawker, the Day before, drove
a Rebel Privateer on Shore upon Long -Island.
The brig Cornelia, W illiam Adams, mailer,
from Dublin for this port, with beef, pork,
butter, rum, and bale goods, is taken by the
Sally privateer and four others, and sent into
New-London; and the brig Friendship, Wil
liam Robcrtfon, matter, from Madeira for
this port likewise, is taken by the privateer
sloop Hancock, and sent into the fame port.
Since our last arrived here, the ship Hercu
les, from Glasgow and Kinfail, in Ireland.
Snow Hope, Capt. Melling; Sloop Biddy,
Capt. Rowntree, and Brig Brothers, Capt.
Halleden, from Liverpool.
Brig Hawke, Capt. -, from Oporto.
And Ship Alfred, Capt. Everett, in 64. days
from Briftel.
By authentic Intelligence from Albany, we
learn, that Sir John Johafon, with a strong
Party, is in the Neighbourhood of John's
Town. He burnt several Houses of active
Rebels on the Banks of the Mohawk-River,
between his own House and the Village of
Steenrabie about the 21st and 2zd May, and
had a Skirmish, in which some of the Rebel
Militia were killed, and between 20 and 30
taken Prisoners. Among the former were Col.
Vifcher ard Jellis Fonda, and two Brothers of
each, with others. Fonda was a Senator of
the Mob Government of Poughkeepsie. ,
Neither Threats nor Persuasions can prevail
upon the Southern Militia to turn out- -From
3 ~ to 401. hard Money is offered for Volun
teers, and the M< ney extorted from the Far
mers at the Point of the Bayonet. Very Few
take the Bounty, and then disappear.
This Backwardness compels the Rebels to
thin their Garrison at the Highland Forts, by
Detachments to the North. They are obliged
to carry even Provisions with them, which they
can ill spare, living as they do at the Highland
Forts, from Hand to Mouth, there being 10
Magazines any where, and the Country already
drained, and the Prefpe& refpedting the ensu
ing Fn^-eft verv difeouraging.
To supply the Deficiency <f Meat, they are
employed, in all the upper Parts of the River,
in taking and falling Fish for the Continental
Soldiers—-Nothing to be bought but for hard
Money-Salt in the County & Albany at it
hard Dollars per Bushel.
The loyalills a Majority in all P|aces---and
daily Accessions to their Numbers. We learn
zlfo from the Wall Kill, that there is another
„der Butler and Brant, in the Western
^~r County.

What the Prir f the Marlhalites are, is
not precisely & . ' .ued, but we are well as
sured, that the general Voice of the Colony
of Connecticut, is for Perce and a Reunion
with Great-Britain; and that the Congress
and the French, are execrated openly by the
Populace in all the Towns, and efpccially in
the great Diftridt Weft of Connecticut River,
- No Volunteers offer for the Rebel Army,
nor for the Coart Guard, as voted by the As

upon drafting the Farmers, who perceive the
Liberties of their Country fecurei 6y th?
Liberality of Great Britain, and that the war
is protrafled merely to serve the felfrih' Ends
of a few, at the Expence and Ruin of the
Multitude. A Friend from thence faysfore,qud

" Part will be Loyalists; and by thus acquir

ashore between Sachem's-Head and Thimble-
Island. The Crew of the latter were joined
by a Rebel Guard consisting of about seventy
Men, who brought down a Rebel Standard to
