Exttadk of a Letter from Charles-Toiun, (Soutb-
Carolina) June 27.
" We enclose you Extracts of Letters from Georgia
and Augufla, by 'which you may judge of our prefect
fate, relative to Indian affairs.---It seems that General
Gage has corresponded with the Superintendant here on
that fubjefl, and he with his Deputy in the Cherokee
nation., Mr. Stuart fading the matter fufpe&ed, left
Charles-Town, and went to Georgia about the time
of the fitting of the Congress. Matters taking a turn
in Georgia, be found bimfelf obliged to produce bis
letters, since which be has escaped to Florida, and
thereby confirmed the Jufpicion of an intended Indian
war.—The other Extrafl foeoxs you the present fate
of the Indian nation."--^,
Extract of a letter from John Willjon, of Augufla, to
Messrs. Campbell and Son, dated une 15.
" All the Cherokee Traders are come down but
two, and have the pleasure to inform you, that they
have over-paid their fall cargoes. There is at present
but very indifferent talks in that nation.---They have
lately killed two Virginians that had gone up there ex
press, which, am afraid, will be the cause of a war:
---Should that be the case, I /ball be badly off, having
little powder in the fort. lam informed, that one of
our traders was flopped by the Indians, in order to
bring a Talk down."
Extract of a Letter fam John Stuart to Mr. Cameron.
" I have received information jrom General Gage,
that certain persons at the northward have been tam
pering with the SIX INDIAN NATIONS, and en
deavouring to alienate their affections from bis Ma
jefj'—l mention this to cautionyou against any thing
of the kind with you, and that you will life your influ
ence to dispose tbofe people to a^ in def nee of bis Ma-,
jefly and government, if found necefary."
Mr. Cameron's Answer.
“ That Mr. Stuart's intereJl with the Indians was
much better, and that be was more beloved by them than
an, other man ; and that be (Cameron) bad the va
nity to think, that be could bead an, number be thought
proper, whenever called upon in support oj bis Ma
jefly and government :"

Extrafl of a Letter from Cambridge, dated Monday,
July 3, 1775-
" The greatefi civility and attention was paid to
the Generals on their arrival at the Camp, which was
on Sunday about noon. When the, were within 20
miles of the Camp, the, received an Expre/s, that the
Parliamentary troops bad, on Saturday morning about
fix o'clock, begun a ver, heavy cannonading on the
town of Roxbury, which continued letter than two
hours, without intermission, though with little or no
loss, on the fide of the Provincials, and that they ex
pelled a general attack on Sunda, about two o'clock,
at the time of high water, this we bad confirmed, and
I believe was presented b, a heavy rain, which be
gan at half pafl twelve, and continued till late at
night. The Generals have spent this whole day in
reviewing the troops, lines, fortifications, ^c. they
find the troops to be 15,000flrong, and the works to be
in as good order as could be expected ; the regulars
have been founding the foore this afternoon, and'we
are in feme expectation of a visit at the next high
water. Our men are all in good ftirit, and wifo they
may come out ; the bes account we can get of the late
engagement is, that the regulars loft more than 800 in
the field, and 700 wounded.
“ Among the plain are Colonel Williams, and Major
Pittcairn ; it remains a matter of doubt whether or not
General Burgoyne is among Jbe dead. This we are
certain of, that General Howe commanded the firfl
division of 1700, and General Burgoyne the second of
1300, and face the battle be has not beenfeen in Bo,on,
'tis given out that he is gone to England• ,the Provin
cials hadnot more than 700 in the action : The Wel,)
Fuzileers, the be, regiment in the Engl, army,
carried from the,eld no more tban seven privates and
one Captain ;It isalfo certain Gage 1, 84. officers.
We are informed that the PEOPLE CALLED
QUAKERS, at a meeting in this city a few daysface,
have agreed to recommend it to their brethren, in their
federal meetings in this province and New-Jersey, to
promote fubferiptions to raise money for the relief oj the
neceflitous of all religious denominations, who are
reduced to losses and di,refs, in this time of public
calamity, to be difributed among them by a Committee
of their brethren in New-England, and a Committee
appointed for the fame purpose here.
Capt. Wilfonfrom St. Kitts, on Saturday la, about
30 leagues to the southward of our Capes, spoke the
Jhip Mercury, of 20 guns, which by the course foe
fleered, be imagined was bound to Carolina.
Capt. Alexander from Almeria, in Spain, informs
that the latter endof May, several of the Spanijb fleet
put in there to water, and failed again the 27th ; from
them be learned that the fleet from Cadiz were to go
to Cartbagena, and from thence to Alicant Bay, where
the whole fleet were to rendezvous on the loth of June ;
that when met, they would cons, of between 7 and
800 fail of transports, a few foips of the line, and
several bomb veflels ; that they bad with them every
thing for carrying on a Jiege, even to the hewn fdnes
to build forts with, and that their defination was said
to be again, the Moors.
HARTFORD, July io.
Extract of a letter from Fort George, (near Ticonde
roga) dated June 29, 1775-
" The reports from the northward are various—
it is thought from the best accounts, th^ the Cana
dians will be very reluctant to enter into the service
against the colonies, and it is pretty certain that Gen.
Carlton has hanged two or three of them for refufing,
and speaking discouraging to others ; so that it is on
the whole believed that thro' all the stratagems of
tyranny, Carlton will dragoon a number of the
Canadians and Indian into the service, and it is
generally believed he is making preparation to come
against us; but some think otherwise, and that he is
only fortifying at St. John's to prevent any incurlion,
from us, Doubtless a short time will discover which
of those is the truth. We have certain intelligence
that Guy Johnson is making all the interest possible
to raise the Indians about the Lakes, and Ofwegatcha
against us."
NEW-HAVEN, July 12.
Last Sunday afternoon, a cruizer sloop of war, (laid to

THE stoppage of provisions from the southern govern^
ments for the use of his Majesty's troops, makes
it necessary to endeavour to geta supply, by concealing
from the public eye the diftinatioh of provisions whipped
for that purpose. I firall therefore propose for your con
sideration the following method of doing it.---Cannot a
vessel be freighted with flour for the Wert-Indies ? com
manded by a person you can confide in, who will execute
yotir orders to him to come into this port and deliver his
cargo liefe, instead of ^oing to the Weft-Indies ; you may
take up a vessel as large as 200 tons and give her a full
freight; I should fend you bills on them for the amount
of what yotimay ship to me in this way, but the hegocia
tion offuch bills might difeover your plan, and defeat it,
so that I fhodld be glad you wotild advise me of some friend
of jour's : when lam mdde acquainted with his name,
and the furri ydh Khall draw for, will fend to him from
hence my bilk on the cohtraftbrs for the amount yoa
advise the of ; you will please likewise to give the con
tradors timely advice that they may insure their in
teteft if tney think proper, and inform me the name of
the vessel and maftef you engage, that I may lodge a per
mit at the light-house in this harbour, for admission to
come up to town, and discharge her cargo here. Pray let
the flour you purchase be such as will keep over the sum
mer, and let the calks be good, well hooped, and the heads
well secured with lining hoops; you will be careful to
write me by a conveyance, that your letter may not fall
into the hands df the provincials,

To the PUBLIC,
AS no person can secure bimfelf from the Hander of
malicious tongues, arid as inasmuch I am not with
out my enemies, who have fpfead a number of falfehoods
in order to injure me in my character, and property, I
have therefore thought it expedient, with the advice ' of
good friends, to undeceive the public. It has been reported
as a truth, that I have refufed to sign the General Aflo
ciation, and that I had held secret correspondence with
General Gage, iri order to supply the army with flour,
all which scandalous faHhoods I utterly deny, and am
ready at any time tb make oath to the following declara
tion, That I have long fihce signed the Association, and
that on the firft fight thereof, without asking, and also
have as one of the Committee of Obfertatiori, advi'fed
others to do it.--—And that I have not at any tiffie,
diredlly or indire&ly, held any correspondence with
General Gage, nor noneof his agents relating to buying
flour, or any provisions whatever.
