~ By our accounts from Long-I/land, it
appears that Admiral Graves's Views in
leaving his Station at Block Island, were,
to give the French Fleet an Opportunity
to core out of Newport, and alfu to col+
left fleck, &c. for the Use of his Fleet.

. the small Stock that can be found on the
Efferent Islands, which greatly ditireffes
the Inhabitants.

Hartford, August 15.
On Wednesday the 2d instant, died at
Southington, Jared Lee, Esq, in the
69th year of his age; he sustained the of
fice of Judice of the Peace ; Deacon of
the Church, for a great number of years ;
served as Representative of the Town,
and in various other public offices to good
acceptance.
As he had long entertained hope of fu
ture happiness through the Atonement, so
that seemed to be his great fuppoit under
increasing infirtntes, and in the near views
of death, and we cha^ably hope he is
gone from this world of trouble to one full
of happiness and glory. Bleffid are the dead
who die in the Lord.
