this state, which draws its chief support from
commerce.
Secondly. Because it proposes to introduce
nto this and the other states, officers unknown,
and unaccountable to them, and so is against the
constitution of this state: and
Thirdly, Because, by granting to Congress a
power to collett monies from the commerce of
these states, indefinitely as to time and quantity,
-and for the expenditure of which they are not to
be accountable to the states, they would become
indepenent of their constituents ; and to the pro

United States.
FIS H-K I L L, January 23.
We hear that an embarkation hath latelytaken
place atNew-York; part of which isfaid to consist
of loyalists, who are destined for the frozen de
farts of Nova-Scotia, their to dragout the residue
of a life more intolerable than death.
It is said, that many of the most noted and
zealous tories in New-York, have packed up
their effects, in order to be ready, at the fhprteft
notice, to flee the justly incensed vengeance of
those who have forfaken their habitations, and
haveefpoufedand supported the cause offreedom,
in defiance of the molt strenuous efforts of the
tyrant of Britain, and his lawless hostile bands.
NEW-LONDON, Januaryzq.
Last Thursday evening the house of Mr. An
drew Chappel, in Chefterfield society in this
town, took fire and was burnt down; two of
his children were so much burnt % that one of
them has since died, and the other is dangerously
ill. Mr. Chappel is also much burnt.
Last Friday a fleet of 9 ships came round
Mantague Point into the Sound, and proceeded
westward ; the weather being Something hazy
the size of them could not be well determined ;
some people affirm they were British ships of the
line, and that they failed from Sandy-Hook, in
pursuit of Count Vadreuil's fleet; and others
that they were of less burthen. The most pro
bable account of this fleet is, that two of them
are British frigates, and the other seven are
prizes which they captured off the Capes of Vir
ginia ; this account we have by a person who
fays he was on board one of the frigates last
Sunday, which frigate he fays was the Amphi
trite.
It said the above fleet left the found on Sun
daynight.
Sunday evening, Capt. Trowbridge in a sloop
arrived here in 40 days from St. Croix. He met
with severe gales on the coast, and loft one man
overboard, named Wheaton, belonging to Bran
ford. Capt. Trowbridge saw two inips south of
Montauk, the day he got in.
