NEW YORK, Nov. 29.
Yesterday the Schooner Harriot, Captain
J^hn Gilbert, arrived here in fourteen Days
fom the Island of Bermuda, by whom we have
a certain Confirmation of Admiral Parker's
having fallen in with and taken 18 Sail of
French Store Ships, mounting from 40 to go
Guns, bound from Old France f,r Martinico
with all Kinds cfwailike Stores and 9 Months
Provisions for the Count d'hlhing's fleet :
'i his Account was received at Bermuda by an
Excels Vessel from Statia, and theorizes were
arrived at Barbadoes and Antigua.\
A Vessel arrived at Bermuda from Savannah
a few Days before Capt. Gilbert failed, where
all was well.
The Brig Hammond, Capt. Picket, (belong- 1
ing to Sheden and Goodrich) has carried into I
Bermuda, a French Snow from St. Domingo, ;
with 200 Hoglheads of Sugar; and the Brigl
Defiance (belonging to Moore and Neal) has}
also carried into that Island, a small Vessel I
from Statia bound to the Continent.
A Privateer Brig,fupfeofed to be the ft eftmore- 4
land of this Port, is put into Bermada difmajhd. [
His Majesty's Ship Perseus, Capt. Elphin
flon, returned from a Cruize Yesterday, and
brought in with him a large French Ship of 24
Guns, and 80 Men, from South-Carolina for
Chefapeak, loaded with 450 Tierces of Rice,
Come Indigo, about 40 bales of Cloathing,
some Toys, and 40,000 Bricks, Sec. She fought
the Perfcus feme Time, but did her no Dam
'Tis beyond a Doubt that the Conductof
the Count d'Estaing at Savannah, has given
great Umbrage to the Congress, and to the
Inhabitants in general throughout America;
by his summoning that Place to surrender to
the King his Matter, 'tis pretty plain had he
fucceedcd in the Attempt he would have taken
Possession of that Province on Account of the
King of France, and would have paid no Re
gard to his American Allies: Had he been
fuccefsful to the Southward we are well as
sured he was to have paid this City aVifit, and
was to have been, fecoaded in hb Operations i
by General Walhington, with all the Force
he could muster ; General Gates was to have
landed a body of Men on the Eart End of
Long-Island, whilst a more powerful Army
was to have attacked King's-Bridge, Powlis-
Eook and Staten-Island ; the Roads in Con
nedicut are now much incumbered with the
Facines which were to have been conducted
to the different Polls in order to raise Batteries
where they might be wanted.
TheAccount published in our Paper the 15th
Inttant, of the taking Fort-Stanwix, we have
Reason to think is premature; the Origin of
that Report, we are told, proceeded from the
firing of some Guns on the Oneida Lake, which
alarmed the Militia in general.
We hear that Bread Kink and Cloathing in
general is likely to be scarce in the Eastern
Governments this Winter, and that the Ground
Lice has done infinite Damage to the green
Wheat in many Parts of this Province, and
chat of Connecticut. ''
We are told that General Walhington is to
cantoon his Army this Winter in the County
of Morris, in New-Jersey, between the Town
of Morris, and that of Mendem.
When the Count d'Estaing arrived upon the
Coast of Georgia, he only made it known to
M. Gerard, without taking the leait Notice
of the fame to the Congress.
General Sullivan has sent his Resignation to
the Congress.
Mr. Samuel Adams, a Member of Congress
for the Province of Maffachufets-Bay, failed
from Boston about 20 Days ago, in a Frigate
bound for France.
The new General Assembly of this Province
have lately passed a Law, whereby all Persons
who have ever been deemed inimical to their
present Constitution, are to make good all
Robberies that may be committed in the
County or Precind where they reside, no Mat
ter who the Perpetrators are.
Yesterday an excellent Charity Sermon was
preached at St. Paul's, by the Revd. Mr.
Moore, when a handsome Collection was made
lor the Charity-School in this City.
Excellent ' Vellum for Drum Heads, a few
Charts of the Well-Ladies, North-Carolina,
a large Map of all that Part of America from
the Eatlward of Sandy-Hook; Aih's new En
glish Grammar for the Use of Schools, Weft
India Pilots, Seaman's Daily Assistant, and
Mariner's Compass ; a few Sets of the Spec

A few old Sash Windows to be fold.
