Extra& of a Letter from London, June 12.
“ We have just heard of the New-York Packet's
Arrival, but I am not well informed of the intelli
gence flic brings, tho' know it is very alarming ;—
they fay the Ministers are very much embarrassed,
that it occasioned Lord-North's paying a personal
Visit to the Bank, and that Parliament will meet next
Month, pursuant to their last Adjournment or Pro
rogation ; this last is doubtful, and indeed every
Thing else is common Report A Change of
Ministers is predi&ed, and I think with as much Pro
bability as any Thing else, unless the next Accounts
from Gen. Gage are more favourable to the present
Measures."

Last Evening was married at the Seat of Thaddeus
Burr, Esq; by the Rev. Mr. Eliot, the Honourable
John Hancock, Esq; President of the Continental
Congress, to Mils Dorothy Quincy, Daughter of
Edmund Quincy, Esq; of Boston.
Florus informs us, that "in the second Punic War,
when Hannibal besieged Rome and was very near
making himfelf Matter of it, a Field upon which
part of his Army lay, was offered for Sale, and was
immediately purchased by a Roman, in a strong As
surance that the Roman Valour and Courage would
soon raile the Siege." Equal to the Conduct of that
illustrious Citizen was the Marriage of the Hon.
John Hancock, Esq; who, with his amiable
Lady, has paid as great a Compliment to American
Valour, and discovered equal Patriotism, by marry
ing now while all the Colonies are as much convulsed
as Rome when Hannibal was at her Gates.

Thursday Evening a Boat being perceived coming
from the franfport lying in the North River, in
which were two Negroes and two white Men ; they
were waited upon when they came on Shore by a
Number of the Inhabitants to know upon what De
sign they were on ; but receiving but little Satisfac
tion from them, they were all carried before the Con
gress. The Negroes said they were Freemen, and
had been hired to carry two Women on board the
Transport, which they did, and then fetched these
Men on Shore. The Negroes and one of the white
Men were discharged, the other being a suspicious
Fellow, and of a refractory Temper, was committed
to the Care of the Guardin the Barracks, till further
Examination. The People that were on the Wharf,
drew the Boat out of the Water, and carried it to
the Commons, where they set it on Fire, and reduced
it to Allies, amidit the Acclamations of Thoufinds.
Extras of a Letter from New-London, to a Merchant
in this City, dated Aug. 31.
" Yesterday Morning there was a Tender came
into Stonington, and fired on the Town, and then
went out again, and returned with the Rose Man of
War and two other Tenders, who immediately be
gan to fire directly into the Houses ; the Ship came
to an Anchor, but the Tenders kept under Sail,
ftan&ng close in, tacking, firing, &c. the whole
Day, and this Morning the Fire is begun again. I
soon expe& them here. By Express from there, find
we have two Men killed. Great Numbers from all
Parts are going there. Cannot get any particulars
how the Affray began. The Tender firft chafed two
small Sloops in, who had Men on board to go on
Block-Blind to prevent their taking the Stock off.
The Men landed at Stonington, and as soon as the
Tender got within good Shot, they fired on the
People.
We are credibly informed that the Hon. the Pro
vincial Congress of New-Jersey, have passed a relolve
that all Men capable of bearing Arms, who depart
from the City of New-York, into that Province, in
Times of Diltrefs, shall be compelled to return
forthwith, and that the several Committees are en
joined to fee the said Resolve carried into Execution.
We hear the Inhabitants of North-Carolina are
Tailing three Regiments of Foot, in Order to defend
theml'clves against any Attempts that may be made
against that Province.
We hear from Providence, that on Tuesday zed
ultimo, his Majesty's Ships the Rose, Swan and
Glasgow, attempted to go to Providence, and got
within 8 Miles of the Town, when two of them
xan afhoie and the other came to an Anchor. Soon
after arrived a Brig and a Sloop, inward bound from
the Weft-Indies, these were immediately chafed by
the Meo of War's Barges and three Cutters, till they
run ashore at Warwick, where they were boarded by
the Man of War's Men in fight of a great Number
of People who had assembled on the Shore. There
were in the Harbour two armed Schooners fitted out
by the Town es Providence for the protection of their
Trade, and were going to convoy a small Fleet down
the River. A smart Engagement then began and
lafcd three Hours and a Half, during which, an
incessant Fire was kept up between the two Schooners
and the Brig and Sloop, which the People on board
often attempted to get off but as often were driven
from the Windlasses. But at last they cut the Brig's
Cable and carried her off, with the Captain on board,
who refuted to ]uit her ; the Sloop we retook and
brought her into the Harbour, tho' fired upm by
the Men of War as we passed them. We had not
a Man killed or wounded, which is surprising. Up
wards of 30 Cannon Ball were picked up eh the
Shore. It is supposed many of the Enemy are killed.
The Men of War are at prefentin Bristol Harbour,
where they have begun to rob and plunder the Plan
tation of Mi. William Weffels.
Agreeable to the Resolves of the Provincial Con
gress of New-York, the Committee of the County
of Wefichefter, appointed the 24th ultimo, for

General Gage, lying near the Man of War, sent
her Boat ashore with four Men and one Woman,
who being observed by some of our People, they
were all taken Prisoners, and carried to the Guard
house ; the Woman was discharged, but the Men
are detained for further Examination. The Boat
was stove to Pieces on the Beach near Greenwich,
and then burnt.
Saturday last the Hon. John Hancock, Esq;
and his Lady, arrived here from Connecticut, and
immediately set out for Philadelphia.
We hear the Men of War and Tenders have
knocked down 40 Houses at Stonington.
Last Night we had a very high Tide attended by a
heavy Gale of Wind, which has done some Damage
along the Wharfs. A new Store Hcufe of Mr.
Jacob Remfen's, at White Hall, was blown down,
and as there was much Flour therein, great part of
the fame is damaged.
On Monday last died at Brunswick, in the 63d
Year of his Age, on his Way to this City, the Hon.
James Habeifham, Esq; President of his Majesty's

Probity, Integrity and Honour,---an able Counfellor,
an affectionate and tender Parent, and well acquainted
with the Delicacies of true Friendship: In his Life
he was greatly beloved, esteemed and honoured by
all his Friends,---and his Death is equally regretted

Trinity Church-Yard.
Tuesday latt a small Sloop came down the North-
River from a Place called Little Efopus, and anchored

Incomparable Worm-destoying
SUGAR PLUMBS,
Necessary to be kept in all Families.
SO exceedingly valued by all People who have had of
them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their trans
cendent Excellency in the destroying Worms of all kinds
both in the Bodies of Men, Women, and Children, by
not only breaking the Knots in the Dusdeaam, or Gutt
next the Stomach, but they pass through the fm^left
Passages of the Body, and purge away those ropy and
filmy Humours which are the Cause of those pernicious
Vermin, and the Source of many other Disorders ; they
are one of the best Purges in the whole World for gross
bodied Children that are apt to breed Worms, and have
large Bellies ; their Operation is mil#, fafe and pleasant;
they wonderfully cleanse the Bowels of all ftiff and clam
my Humours which flop up the Parts, and prevent the
Juice of Food from being conveyed to the Liver and made
Blood, which is often the Case with Children, and is at
tended with a hard Belly, flicking Breath, frequent Fe
vers, Rickets, and a Decay of Strength in the lower
Parts : Likewise fettled Aches and Pains in the Head,
Swellings, old Sores, Scabs, Tetters, or Breakings.out,
will be perfectly cur'd, and the Blood and Skin restored
to its original Purity and Smoothness ; they purge by
Urine, and bring away the Gravel, and effectually cure
all Obftruftions of the Urine, or Ulcers in the Kidneys.
They at once strike at the true Cause of the Scurvy and
entirely destroy it, and all Scorbutick Humours and Ef
fe&s, Root and Branch, so as never to return again ; and
what makes them mere commendable is, they are full as
agreeable to both Tafle and Sight, as Loaf Sugar; and
in their Operation as innocent as new Milk.
I have by these Plumbs cured a great many Children
of Whooping, or Chin-coughs, and Agues, which Dis
tempers are very common and troublesome to Families,
and the Want of these Plumbs are the Ruin of many
Childrens Constitutions.
These Plumbs enrich and fwenten the whole Mass of
Blood, carry off all gross, corrupt and putrid Humours,
and create a freffi and healthy Complexion in such as are
affe&ed by any putrid Matter.
The Plumb is a great Dieuretick, cleansing the Reins
of Slime ; it expels Wind,qand is a sovereign Medicine
in the Cholick and griping of the Guss. It allays
and carries off four Vapours which o'ceafion many
Disorders in the Head. It opens all Obftruaiens in ths
Stomach, Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder ; causes a
good Appetite and helps Digestion. It hath been found
wonderfully fuccefsful to such Persons as are going into
Chronical Distempers, as Asthmas, Phthificks, or Short
ness of Breath, Dropsies and Yellow Jaundice. Now I
hope all impartial Persons are fatisfied, that the Medicine
which works upon such Humours, will almost teach any
Distemper, if not too far gone, since Corruption and Pu
trefa<ftiou are the fore-runners of all diseases ; therefore no
better Phyfick can be taken for all Ages, Sexes and Con
stitutions, from Infancy to an old Age. These Plumbs
are highly serviceable to the Female Sex, from the Age
of 14 to 20 Years, and from 40 to 50. Each Box con
tains one Dozen of these Plumbs, Price 8 Shillings, with
Directions. Sold by Hugh Gaine, in New-York, and
by no other Person in America, Unless by his appointment.
Diognsftick Signs of Worms,
PALENESS in the Face, itching of the Nose, hol
lowness of the Eyes, grating of the Teeth when
asleep, Bulnefs, Pains, and Heaviness in the Head, a
dry Cough, an itching in the Fundament, white and
thick Urine, unquiet Deep, often starting, loft Appetite,
fwell'd Belly, knawing and biting about the Stomach,
frightful Dreams, extreme Thirds, the Body Decay'd and
lean, Fits, often Vomiting, stinking Breath, &c.
Directions for taking them.
M Child from I to 2 Years may eat one Plumb ; from
2to ^ one and a half; from 4to 6 tzuo ; from 6to 8 two
and a half ; from 8 to 12 three ; from 12 to 15, and all
above tha Age, may eat four Plumbs, one Hour or rue
before up Rfyg,not to Drink during that time, but afterwards
drink avarm Tea, Whey, or Water-gruel ; in taking them,
the Patient must fay two 0" three Days betwixt each Dose.
In Agues, the fame Quantity mus be taken, two, three
or four Hurs before the Fit comes on, and be repeated three
Times. In Whooping or Chin-coughs, give the Quantity
above-mentioned,
NOTICE is hereby given to the Governors of King's
