PH I LAD ELPHI A, March 12.
Last Saturday evening Baron de WOEDLKE, formerly a
Gen. in the Prussian service, arrived here.
Yesterday hi^Excellency .Gen. LEE:arrived in this city.
This day the sloop Fanny, Capt. Hyman, arrived from
Ocrocock inlet, North-Carolina, which she left thirteen days
ago. By her we learn that the Regulators and Tories, about
seven hundred, with Governor Martin at their head, had
thrown themselves between the two armies commanded by
Colonels Ash and Caffwell, in order to prevent their joining,
but it was expected they would not be able to put their scheme
in execution, as great numbers from all parts of the colony
were every day going to the assistance of either of the Colo
nels. The Tories and Regulators, it is said, have not yet
been joined by any considerable number of Scotch settlers, as
they expected.
§3* The Managers of the Society for the Relief of Distressed
Prisoners now inform their fellow citizens, that a wheelbar
row daily plies through the streets, to collect victuals from
charitable housekeepers. The success it has already met with,
is an agreeable presage of the utility of the plan ; and the
Managers hope in a short time, to be able to fix the days on
which the barrowman will attend in each street, so as to take
the whole town in a regular rotation. Donations in money
will be thankfully received by the Managers, who flatter
themselves they shall obtain such assistance this spring, as
not only to pay the barrowman for his daily labour, but to
enable them to buy in a fufficient dock of wood at the cheapest
season.
Compassion for the distresses of our fellow creatures gene
rally operates most powerfully in the severity of winter, when
we conceive them to be in the greatest want ; but by a timely
application of such charities, they may be extended much
farther with the fame money.
N. B. There is painted on the top of the barrow, " VIC
TUALS FOR THE PRISONERS."
