N E W-Y O R K, May 14.
Sunday last arrived here from Jamaica, his
Wjefty's Chips the Emerald, and Magicienne,
with a number of (hips loaded with rum for the
life of the King's troops.
The fame day arrived also a brig from Halifax,
ahd another from Virginia.
The fame day likewise arrived the schooner
John, Capt. Cross, in 14 days from Charles-town
South-Carolina, where, we hear, every thing
was very quiet, and vessels daily arriving at that
port from Europe & the W. Indies.
One of the (hips, arrived here last week from
Jamaica, with 1200 hogsheads of rum, spoke
three vessels off the coast laden with Dry Goods,
from London, bound to Philadelphia.
On Saturday arrived the schooner Dove, from
St. Augustine, with an account that Major 1%-
vaux, with three hundred troops and seamen had
landed on the 7th of April, at the iiland of New-
Providence, and early in the morning pointed a
cannon in front of the Governor's quarters,
fu rnmoned his excellency to surrender the Inland,
which being consented to, 6&o Spaniards, with
the Island, its dependencies, and 250,000 Spa
nish dollars, fell into his hands ; but this surren
der happened three days after the cessation of
arms, declared between the different powers at
war.
Our harbour is now ornamented, with the
flags of seven Independent Powers, viz. the
flag of the United States, of France, Holland,
Portugal, Denmark, England and the Imperial
flag.
The last advices from Amsterdam, (dated
March 18,) informs that although the prelimina
ry articles of a peace between Great Britain and
that Republic were not signed, yet the negocia
tors had so far accomplished the objects of their
commission, as to admit little or no doubt of
that event shortly taking place. It was said, in
deed, that nothing remained to be done, but the
ceremonial of that interesting business.
The ship Hartford Captain Folger, left the
Downes the 3d of April, and brings accounts
from London of theist, when no new Admini
stration had been fixed upon by his Britannic
Majesty. The bill for opening an intercourse
with the United States had not passed either
House of Parliament ; norcan we give any fatif
fa&ory information concerning the definitive
treaty of peace.

Indies, with orders for Admiral Pigo:.---God knows where
these votings will end."
Extract of a letter from Banbury, March 18.
66 This morning the second division of (he Yorkshire vo
lunteers continued their march from hence for York, where
they are to be difeharged. They have been in this town up
wards of a fortnight, refufing to proceed ; many of them,
who are midland men, insisting upon their dih harge at this
place: They have contemned the command oftheir offi ers,
and behaved in a riotous way at their quarters, and in a
grofs'y insolent manner to the town in general, committing
many ads for whi h justice claimed redr^fs ; but the power
ofthe magistrates has been retrained by a regard to their
own perforial fafety, and the danger to the town of enforc
ing justice against 300 men under arms.
“ The ammunition, however, wth which they had fur
nished themselves from their own stores, they have given
up to the officers, under a promise of a difeharge being
granted those men who belong to this and the more southern
part of the kingdom.
66 But last night, being the last opportunity they should
have of committing their wanton infuits, many of them af
fembed for that purpose, when they were unexpectedly op
poled by the inhabitants, who, after a sharp contest with
flubs, &c. drove them to their quarters, where they thought
proper to remain till called out to march."
May 17. Yesterday arrived a vessel from Hali
fax, by which we learn, that the fleet with about
fix thoufandßefugees, which lately left this city,
were fafely landed at Cape Rofeway, after a pas
sage of fix days.
May 19. Saturday last a small schooner arrived
here in 18 Days from Antigua : Letters by this
Vessel mention the arrival there of two Fleets
one of which from England, the other fom Ire
land.
PHILADELPHIA, May 24.
The Governor of Cuba has issued a proclama
tion prohibiting trade from being carried on by
strangers, of course our trade to that Island is
at a Hand.
banditti, collected from the obfitye corner! of
the county, composed of men of the most infa
.mous character, to the amount of about sixty in
number, met in this town, to prevent the fitting
of the Courts. Without system, and without
any regular plan of conduct; they proceeded to
the most daring ads ofoutrage. They ffiewed
no difpofnion to oppose the Courts in the fore
noon; at two o'clock they met at a public house
in the town and refolded themielves to be a con
vention of the county, met together for the pur
pose of redressing grievances; after having pas
sed several important resolves they adjourned
their convention to the Elm-tree, near the Court
House ; when the bell rang for the Court, they,
in hostile parade, armed with white bludgeons,
cut for that purpose, marched before the door of
the Court-House, and when the Court, headed
by the Sheriff, came to the door, with inference
opposed their entrance ; the Sheriff, in the mild
terms of persuasion, addressing them as gentle
men, desired them to make way; his civility
was repaid with outrage, and an action soon
commenced; happily there was a collection of
people friendly to the government present, and
the mob was repulsed with broken heads, a
number of them were instantly taken and com
mitted to prison ; after which, by a regular pro
cedure, they were brought before the Court of
Sessions for examination, and were bound to
appear before the Supreme Court.
As Mr. Stephen Russel of this town, was re
turning on Friday last from Hartford, in a boat,
his brother, a Ida of about 13, with another of
nearly the fame age, espying the boat at a small
distance, set out in a canoe to meet it; the boat
was under way with a brisk wind, when (by
reason of the impetuoufity of the ftream,the lads
could not manage the canoe so as to avoid Strik
ing the head of the boat with great force) it was
instantaneously overfet ; one of them reached
the boat and was saved ; Mr. Ruffelfprang into
the water to relieve his brother, who was unable
to swim, desiring him to take hold ofbis cloaths
that he might carry him to the boat, unhappily
the lad seized him in such a manner as rendered
all his exertions vain, in this situation they both
funk ; the bodies are not yet found.
H ARTFO R D, June 3.
Another division of Loyalists, are soon to leave
New-York, " for the promised Land ofNova-
Scotia."
Sir Guy Carleton, in his conference with his
Excellency General Washington, it is said, de
clared he could not positively assign the. time
when the British garrison would be withdrawn
from New-York, as he had received no orders
for that purpose, but was in daily expectation
that such inftruCtions from his Court would ar
rive by the next packet; and that he should make
every preparation on his part for such an event.
Died, last Saturday, Mr. Timothy Pratt, in
the 32d year of his age.
