NEW-YORK, Sept. 6.
Since our last we have received Accounts
from different Parts of the Country, I hat Sir
George Collier has destroyed the Rebel Fleet
that went against Penobfcot, and that the
Troops had taken to the W ioJs, and were
making the best of their Way home. What
seems to confirm the above is the following
Paragraph from a New London Paper of
August z§. Our accounts from Penobfcot,
are so various and contradi& >ry tnat it's tho't
belt not to trouble our readers with them.
Staten-ffland, Au uft 4, 1779.
“ I have the Pleafare to inform you, That
the D itrudion of the Rebel FLet at Penobfcot
is certa n, and that you may publilh the fame
as Fact This Intelligence came to Col. Taylor
by Express from Gen Washington Yefterdav,
whose Head Quarters is a few Miles this Side
Weft-Point. Indian News, nothing certain,
only a Report that Maxwell is killed
We have just heard that the Rebels have loft
at Penobfcot, 26 Vessels from 10 to 36 Guns,
and 2) Transports.
By a creditable Person lately arrived from
the County of Albany, we are informed, that a
considerable Force from Canada had crofs'd
Lake Champlain, and were in Poss ffion of
Ticonderoga, which caused a Cmffernation
in the Northern Parts of this Province, and
induced tie Rebels to call on the Militia of
1 bany to support their Gen. Warner, polled
with about 8> Men at Fort Edward, as a
Frontier Guard; but such is the Reluctance of
the Militia, that not forty would turn out Vs
lunteers ; many of the Loyalists of the Coun
ty of Albany are daily apprehended and con
fined for their Difafteflion to the Rebel Cause.
On Thursday last departed this Life, after a
tedious Indisposition, in the 17th Year of her
Age, Mils Grace Moore, second Daughter

where they were decently interred on Friday
Evening last..
