"I have bad news to inform you of—■
we are all forced to fly from our farms

flock ; we are in continual fear day and
might. e On the firft day of May, the In

On the second day they attacked one of
our Rations, some time before day, and
set it on fire in three places— killed one
man, Wounded Lieutenant Biggs, mor
tally through the ihoulder -wounded
Col. Hedge's fori through the body; think
he will recover— wounded one of the
Vanmeters, in the head, flighty. On
the third day, about thirty Indians at
tacked fourteen of our men at another
fiation—killed four and scalped them—
two more miffing. Another party kill
ed Captain Tilton's son, and took his
horse and gun—this day his 'horfe ha^
returned, with a rope round his leg.
Without relief fobn,we shall be greatly
distressed. The Indians leave all signs

LONDON, APRIL 2,
A sailor belonging to the Impregnable,
laftSundaj,had the marriage-bands pab
lifhed between himfelf, and one of the
Liberty-street girls ; but being informed,
that the kind fair-one had an armour
with a young man belonging to the corps
of Artificers, he early this morning
went to her apartment armed with a loa
ded pistol, and finding the. unfortunate
objed of his jealousy asleep in his inten
ded wife's arms, he immediately (hoc
him through the head, and he ia
ftantly expired
On the display of armorial bearings,
intended to do honor to the funeral of
the departed Mirabeau, the motto of In
furgam maybe appositely inscribed on the
hatchment which decorates his hearse !
If the Attorney General ihould find it
necessary to make inquiry of Mr. Paine
refpefting his late publication, it is dot
improbable but that the Secretary of the
Constitutional Society, may b; involved
in the legal conversations.
That there is ingenuity in Mr. Paine's
republican pamphlet, fey people will
deny—& that it has the merit of defy,
no well wither to this country can gain
fay : But after all, we think the transat
lantic patriot has not been lucky enough
to hit updh ft season the most favourable
for the promulgation of dodrines yi de
claratory of the rights of man '
'A diffinter yesterday was remarking
,0 a literary lady, that he felt the fall
force of Paine's arguments. The la
dy replied, " It was no wonder —the
attacks of Paine make mod people feel.
-The manner in which Paine nieati
dosthe fufpe^ed Pension gained by the
Arlftoitrat 0 fender for certain Refefli
ons, seems to demand an explicit reply
on his part, to the acute metaphylician.
It will very likely be in the following
stile :
Pai NE.'s political medicine is too strong
far the confitution of this country ; he
has, therefore, very prudently carried it
in person to the National Afembly, in or
der to enable that virtuous body co throw
every monarchial particle out of their new
date organization.
