Itobertfon, the titular governor of New-
York. We cannot ascertain the loss on
either fide, as both have confined them-,
selves to ikirm fhing; but are info med
that th. B icilh General Stirling, is very
badlv, if n t mortally wounded ; and last
Friday evening we were in poffi ffion of
about 40 prifohers, and a number of de
fertrrs ; among the latter are said to be 6
Htffian light horse, well mounted, and
completely equipped.
It is fuppolcd the enemy's intentions
were to ceitrey Morristown, and fprt ad
desolation chro' that part of the country ;
but a kind Providence, and the vigorous
exertions of our brave men, have preven
ted it.

Yesterday arrived here the Continental frigate
Trumbull frem aciuze James N'cholfon Efquite,
Commander w non F iday the 2d infant, in lat.
45 lon. 64 10 had an engagement with a B.n;ih
ihip of 56 twelve and fix pounders. The action was
close and levcte and supported with great gallantry
by the Captain, officers, a. d company of the Trum
bull a,art the superior force cf the enemy, for 5
gla&s, w^en both sh pi were equally disposed to
part, the Trumbull having all her mails wounded in
such a manner as to reader it itnpcffible for her to
continue the engagement, and the British ship in a
situation equally unfit for it. In ten minutes after
the a&ijo c^f^d the Trumbull loft her main and
mizen topmafis within mt fktt (hot of the enemy,
which they took no notice of and soon lod her main
and m zen malt. The miffs of the Brirfh fh+p war
lari in a tottering condition, and if is fappofed, mull
be gone. Sue was hulled in many places, and all
her pump* gel", h^ve over many dead ; and, it is
prefaced in fff red more than the Trumbull, and
m d have Stuck to her, if the Trumbull had not
unfortunately fnflained the loss of her mafia. The
Trumbull had 8 men killed, and 51 wounded, 6 of
which have n ca d ed of their,wounds ; among the
latter wa) Dinel Sarr, the third Lieutenant. The
British Ih 3 appeared to be bound to Charleftown ;
but, as no q teutons were a iked, and the atlicn com
fenced w tnout ceremony, her name or deftmatica
are unknown.
The public GrisfafVon rises high from the account
that a large naval and land armament may eve-y mo
mint be - xpefUri horn France, on these coafh. :o co
operate with the forces of the Uni ed States. So
seasonable and important an aid, at the fame time it
greatly endears our generous Ally to us, animates
people of every rank, to the meft vigorous efforts in
the prepewioas we are called to make, to A! in the
mol efficacious manner in conjw^aion with this
powerful aid.
