Last Sunday evening arrived his majeity's fltip
Germain, Capt. Ball, from Ch^rfeftown, which
port ffie left the 19th ult. and brings account of
a fleet having failed from it for St. Augustine, 011
the 13th with two regiments of Provincial troops,
and a great number of .Loyalists on board. Ano
ther fleet was preparing to fail from Charlef
town; it was said that troops were to embark
in it for Hallifax.
The firft division of the fleet which failed from
this port the 20th of September last, arrived at
Charleftown about the it ult. and a brig which
failed with the second division, had also arrived
there before the Germain left it.
Nov. 9. Yesterday arrived after several
months cruise, the brigantine Fair American.—
From the accountsbrought by this veflel we are
told, that about five days ago, off Cape Hatteras,
she fell in with a sloop of war from England,
bound with dispatches for New-York, had been
out about five weeks, and as the wind has since
proved tolerable fair, her appearance may be
hourly expected.
Same day arrived a brig loaded with salt, from
Turks-Bland, prize to the Bonetta sloop of war ;
also the brig Nancy, Capt. Dalzel, in 15 days
from Tortola, with a lading of rum, and, ifive
trust to common report, we are informed, that
a detachment of British troops, with a body of
volunteers from the several British islands, had
proceeded against the island ofSt. Kitts.
Yesterday arrived the ship Triumph, Capt.
Stoat, of 22 guns, in 23 days from Jamiaca, by
whom we learn, that on the 22d of September,
Major O'Brien arrived at Jamiaca, in his Ma
jesty's armed schooner the Post Boy, express
from Blake River, on the Mufquito shore, with
dispatches from Col. Defpard, intimating the re
taking of that post, and the other principal Bri
tish settlements from the Spaniards, on the firft
of September, by capitulation ; the prisoners
secured were, 1 Colonel, 1 Lieut. Colonel, 1
Major, 10 Captains, 20 Subalterns, and 150 rank
and file.—On the fame day a polacre was taken
by the Jamaica sloop of war, with 130 Spanish
troops, provifiens, stores, &c.
BOSTON, Novemberzr.
Accounts are received from Port au Prince,
that the Scipion French man of war, of 74 guns,
which was convoying a fleet from the Weft-In
dies to France, fell in with the London, of 90
guns, Admiral Graves, which was feperated
from the Jamaica fleet, and had a smart en
gagement with her. The French ship finding
the London was rather weak of men, attempted
to board her, and got ten or twelve men on
board; but another large ship heaving in fight,
she attended to the fafety of her convoy, and
quitted the combat.
PROVIDENC E, Nov. 19.
Since our last the French army, commanded
by his Excellency Count Rochambeau, arrived

WHEREAS Samuel Pettibone of Norfolk, John Portec
of Colebrook, and Solomon Criffe of Colebrook,
Inkeepers, influenced by their warm attachment to the laws
of their country, and a Ready determination to support:
good order, have determined to prosecute to condign pu
nishment all persons who presume to offendfo atrociously
as to tell to travellers commodities of a Tavern, on the road
leading from New-Hartford to Norfolk. This is therefore to
humbly petition all such travellers not to call at any house
for refreshment, except lice, fed houses, for the following
measures. iff. As it is unnecessary, because needful enter
tainment may be had at toe houses offaid Pettibone, Porter
and Criffe ; there being as we suppose always room fuffi
cient—-And 2d. It is ungenerous to expose the inhabitants
on said road by laying temptations of filthy lucre before
them, to the righteous lefentment of said Pettibone, Porter
and Cuffe. If the travellers aforefaid doubt the truth of
this representation, they are desired to callupon said houses,
and they will be convinced that they have now, and always
will have, fi^fficient stores for the entertainment of tra
vellers, unless the laws of the ft rte rigidly carried into ex
ecution. As evidence of their patriotic principles oneof
the fubferibers was prosecuted by said Criffe far felling one
pint of Rum at an arbitration; the other was prelected
by said Pettibone and Porter for felling one gill and a half
of Rum, it being the remains of ar. old Ruck on hand, hav
ing been formerly tavern-keeper.
