N E W- TGR K, June 28.
Last Week a Whale Boat from Connecticut,
came near to Mufiueto Cove, on the North
Side of Long-Island, in order to 'carry off a
Boat that lay there, bet they being observed
' to approach, a few Men from the ^hore got
on board unperceived, with Arms, and as soon
as the Boat came' nigh enough, the Boatmen
gave the Rebels such a Dole, that three of th' m
were killed the fird Fire, when they went off
_ with the greatest Precipitation.
Saturday last Capt. Wentworth arrived here
Lorn Coracoa, in 17 Days; The 16th Instant,
in Lat. 26, 47, Lon. 74, he fell in with 9 Sail
of Vessels, one of them supposed to be a Ship
of 74 Guns, the others much less, fleering N.
N. W. with a fair Wind.
We hear that in Consequence of a new Law
lately passed in Albany, an Account of which
may be seen in the second Page of this Paper,
Numbers of young Men in that County have
left their refpedive Homes, and are gone to
join Brant and Buttler in the Indian Country.
Extradl of a letter from Huntington, Queen's Coun
ty, Long IJlar.d, dated zydinflant.
" The friends of government here have been
greatly distressed ever since the King's troops
left the East End of this Island, the rebellious
part of the inhabitants in this to '• , nho
were kept in awe while the troops were llati
oned to the eastward of us, are now become
more insolent than ever and publickly threaten
to have all the loyalists carried off to Connec
ticut, the principal of these mifereants are
Nathaniel Williams, John Brush, Stephen Kel
sey, Jonas Rogers, Eliphalet Chichelter, Morl
borough Burtis and Israel Wood, several of
whom smuggle goods out of New-York to this
place for the sole purpose of supplying the
rebels in Connecticut These scoundrels live
in perfect fafety, when fcarely a night passes
but some of their loyal neighbours are plunder
ed by the sons and other relations of those
rebels who fled to Connecticut when the King's
troops landed on this island. I hope you will
keep a good look out for these traitors if they
should have the assurance to return again to
your city, and if we should be so happy as to
have any troops quartered in this part of the
country again, I hope in God that these per
jured villains will be made to rue the day they
entered into rebellion againit the best of Kings.
