NEW-YORK, July 3.
Our last Accounts from North-Carolina are,
That a few Days after the Receipt of the
Reduction of Charleftown arrivedat Newbern,
the Capital of the Province, the Whigs were
struck with Amazement, as they imagined
the Place was impregnable; that as Soon as
Lord Cornwallis moved towards Cape Fear,
the hot Ones, with Governor Chefwell, fled to
the back Country; in Consequence of which
Removal many of those that were formerly in
Office had taken the Lead in public Measures,
and almost all the Inhabitants were wishing
forrtheir old Constitution.
The Flag that arrived here last Wedr.efday
from Boston; 10 Leagues from Sandy-Hook,
fell in with five small Rebel Privateers, fdp
pofed from New-London and Rhode-Inland.
The fame Day his Majesty's Ship the Galatea,
Capt. Reed, failed from Sandy-Hook in Search
of the said Privateers.
The Retaliation Cutter, Captain Cameron,
of this Port, the 15th of June, off Chefapeak,
fell in with a Fleet of 25 Sail from Virginia
for Old France, under Convoy of a French §4
Gyn Ship: He followed them for four Days,
but to no Purpose, the Weather being very
moderate, they kept close to their Convoy.
Last Thursday was married by the Rev. Mr.
M'Laglan, Donald M'Leane, Esq; Surgeon
to his Majesty's late 77th Regiment, to Miss
Henrietta M'Donald,oF Invernefs-lhirejn
North-Britain, Daughter of Captain Allan
M'Donald of the 84th Regiment; —a young
Lady, in Person and Temper truly amiable,
and in Mind most accomplifhed:—This Lady,
her Mother, and a younger Sitter, (notwith
standing every Endeavour exerted by many
Friends to procure their Releafe)were, during
three Years detained in the Rebel Country ;
but determined to conquer every Difficulty
that opposed t^eir Efeape, they, by Means of
disguised Dresses, were supremely happy in
effecting it from Schenedady, on the 28th of
last February.
We hear great Part of the Wheat in the up
per Counties of this Province has lately been
much hurt by Means of an uncommon Frost
that happened about 4 Weeks since : Its Con
sequences, 'tis said, is visible even in the,
Woods, among the small Trees.
All the British Prjfoners that were in Morris-
Town Gaol, in New-Jersey, were lately sent
from thence for Philadelphia, under a
firong Guard.,
The three Men lately executed at Washing
ton's Camp were, John Clawfon, formerly of
Woodbridge, a young Man of the Name of
Hutchinson, from Morris-Town, and a Ludo
vic Lacy, of Sussex.
There was a fourth Person in^Company
when the above three were taken in Mr. Veal's
Barn, but he was ihot after he had delivered
himfelf up to the Party that came to take. him.
Mr. Veal, in whose Barn they were found,
was carried to the Place of Execution, and
would also have been executed, but the poor
Men exculpated him before they were sent but
of the World.
Nathaniel Fitz Randolph, a noted Partizan
in the Rebel Service, died a few Days ago of
the Wounds he received at Springfield feme.
Days since in a Skirmish with the British
Troops.
The Schooner Jenny, Capt. Lindsay, from
Newbern, th North Ca olina, for ,Norfolk,
in Virginia, ffu sent in here last Tuesday, by
th Privateer brig Venus, Capt. — ^nd

Crews left them in the Chefapeak, one loaded

The Schooner Restoration of this 'Port,

tranfeendent Excellency in the defrojing Worms of all
kinds both in the Bodies of Men, Wonrerc, and£bildren,
by not only breaking the Knots in the Duodenum or Gut
next fbf Stomach; but they ,mjs through the smallest
Rafales of the Body, ana , purge avm, the ropy and
fimy Hufoirs which afb the caufe.o, thofe pernicious
'Fermin, andtbe Source of many oth+rDiforders; they
are one of the bes furfojdthe wbdle World for gross

large Bellies; their (iteration is mild, fafe and plea
sant ; tl,, wonderfully cleanje the Bowels of all Jiff
arid dammf Humours which flop up the Parts and
prevent the ,utceu Fuad being conveyed to the Liver
and made Blood, which is often the Case with Children,
and is attended with a hard^ Belly, finking Breath,
frequent Fevers, Rickets, and a Decay of Strength in
the lower parts: (itewifefettled Aches and Pains in
the Head, Swellings, old Sores, Scabs, Tetters, or
Breakings-Out, will be perfectly cur'd, andtbe Blood
and Skid reflored to its original Purity, and Smootb

'or Ulcers in the Kidneys. They at nncefrike at the
# true cause of the Scurvy, arid entirely defray it, at all
fcorbutick Humors and Effects, Root and Branch,Jo
as never to return again, and what makes them more
commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both tafts
and fight, as Loaf Sugaf \ arid in their Operational
w innocent as new Nlilki '^'.''- %
I baTefy these Plumbscured a great many Children
of the Thaoping-Cough, and Agues, which Dp
'tempers are very common and troublesome to Families,
# and the Warit of these Plumbs are the Ruin 0, Man,
Children's Confiitutions.
The Plumb is agreat Dieuretick, clean sing the Reins
i of Slime; it expels Wind, and is a sovereign Medicine
in the CWick and griping of ibe Guts, ft utlays and
carries off four Vapours which occafon many Disorders
in the Head. It opens all ObftruEtions in the Stomach,
Lungs, Liver, Reins and Bladder; causes a good Ap
