Several particulars of this fhameful bu--
less have reached us ; but we abandon
e ungrateful fubjed for the prefenr, on
adding, that every thing we have heard
ithe occasion relative to the Marquis de
>uille, proves him to possess both that
irit of enterprize as a soldier, and that
>erality as a gentleman, for which he has
ng been celebrated and esteemed, even
uy us his enemies.
St. Martin's, it is said, has also fallen,
but we have heard nothing of I ortola.
M ART INI CO, August 23.
Extras of a letter dated at Maracayho, in the
province of Venzuela, June 26.
" They write from Carthagena, that a part of
the inhabitants of Vera Cruz had revoked the
17th of last month. The Intendant was unuer
the necessity of flying to avoid the fury or the
rebels. This banditti were bold enough to attack
a detachment sent against them by the Governor;
They surrounded a body of 600 men, and oblig
ed them to laydown their arms, plundering as
well soldiers as officers, and making tbernfelyes
matters of tert thousand piaftres in fpewie, which
were intended for the payment of the troops;—
The spirit of rebellion has likewise broke out on
the frontiers of our province; the infurgentshave
broke open the custom-houses, burnt the papers,
and fold the different goods found in the stores:
They have appointed among themselves Chiefs,
Captains, Generals, and other officers; The last
letters from Lima inform us, that an Indian,
named Tupa Amaro, had puthirafelf at the head
ofthe rebels, calling himfelf a deicendant of the
Caciques. He has made himfelf maker of afmall
town, where he found upwards of 600,000 piaf-
tres : Wo be to those who fall into his hands !
He spares no one. We hope that our govern
ment, convinced by fatal experience, will do
every thing to restore peace and profpority to this
Continent, &c."
From Rivington's Royal Gazette.
N E W-YORK, December 22.
We are informed that when Mr. Wil.
Ham Duer, and other gentlemen received
copies of the httert addressed to them by
Mr. Silas Dean, the originals of which
were intercepted on their passage to Phi
ladelphia, and published in this Gazette,
an order was sent by the Congress to
seize and fecufe his person ; but by a
gentleman just arrived from the southward
we are informed, that Mr. Dean had for
tunately retired from the Freneh, to a Case
and comfortable asylum, the dominions of
Great-Britain---an which event he has the
hearty felicitations of every loyahft in the
king's realm.
Extract of a letter from St. Augustine,
dated October 2.
< c We are very apprehensive that the
Spaniards mean to pay us a visit early in
the spring, but if we had four or five hun
dred men more here, it would net be an
easy matter to take this place, that num
ber would make us very fecute indeed."

BOSTON, January 10.
Persons lately @ut of New-York fay,
that the failing of the London fleet was
flopped on the arrival of the Greyhound
packet in eight weeks from England, by
which orders were brought for the recall
of Sir Henry Clinton from the chief com
mand, and the appointment of Lord Corn
walfe in his head.
Caph David Squires is arrived at a fafe
port from Hupaniala. By a gentleman
from him, we have a confirmation cf the
glorious recapture of the island of St.
Euflatia, by his Excellency the Count de
Graffe; but he does not recoiled any
mention made of the island of St. Mar
tin's being also retaken, but he thinks it
must have fubmitied of course.
The booty taken in Euftatius accounts
add; was very considerable, there being
a great number of veffeU found about
the island ; many warlike stores, besides a
large body. of regular Britidi troops in
the N gafrifon. The day the island sub
mitted, was not afeertained.
By a cartel from Halifax, since our last,
we learn, that .the Britons there were in
great conservation on the news of the
capture of Earl Cornwallis. It was with
rhe utmost reluctance they were brought
to believe the event : Many were frank
enough to declare that they conceived,
" their race was now run !" whileothers
infatuated wretches had the impudence
to aver it, as a fortunate event ; asserting
that the exertions of Britain would now
be redoubled, and the 6 rebels' inevitably
conquered : That there were 300 Ame
rican failoh remaining in Halifax prison
when the cartel failed ; but that their
usage was not so rigorous since Governor
Hughes's departure for England, S,r An
drew Snape Hammond the present Go
vernor there, being a man of rather more
humanity and delicacy than the former
one : That the intelligence of Admiral
Graves's being defeated by the French
navy, galled them prodigiously ; and that
numbers of the British officers heartily
wished themselves in England again; and
“ that this rubious and infernal war wa,
closed, the coffers of Britain bein^ ex
hausted, and the nation involved in an
immense and insupportable debt.
NEW-LONDON. January 11.
Last Sunday, Mr. Hammond, of
the North-Parish in this Town; after hav
ing thrown some Hay from the top of a
Stack, for his Cattle, he attempted to Hide
down the Stack; but a Rake {landing
against if, he came (as is supposed) with
his whole Weight on the end of the Han
dle, which ran into his Bowels. Itapbears
that he pulled the Rake out of his Body
and went about two Rods from the Stack,
where he was found dead.
Wednesday failed, Capt. Loring and
Capt. Havens for the Weft-Indies, and
Cape Lathrop for Virginia.

The above veffcl brings an account, that

ping were collected at Cape Faancois,
with a large body of troops, in order to

Dutch.
The Amazon frigate, commanded by M. de ViF
lage, which failed from hence the 9th of Septem
ber, returned the 28th of last month from the
Havannah, having on board a million of pi
asters. At her departure from that colony, Don
Solano had hill under his command 13 fllips of
the line. They reckon there may be there, be
sides 6000 regulars, 6000 well disciplined mili
tia. M. de Village is greatly pleased at the re
ception he met with from the Spaniards
The icheoner Defiance arrived here the 29th
of lalh month from the Spanish coast ; the brings
very agreeable intelligence for our allies. Ac-
cording to advices which had been received by
the governor of the Carraccas the 6th of O&o
---ber, from Lima and Sta Fe, the famous Indian
Joseph Gabriel Tupa Amaro, who attempted to
have himfelf proclaimed king of Peru, had beeri
taken and beheaded, together with his whole fa
mily and the other Caci [ues his allies. The Col.
ofthe Carthagena regiment was at Sta. Fe with
1500 men. A considerable number ofthe revol
ters had been hanged, and others were upon the
point of Iharing the fame fate. It is to be hop
ed these aebs of severity will make some impres
sion uppn the minds of the difafte&e^ and that
the flames of fedhion will be totally extinguish
ed. Those that had assembled at Merida, in the
environs of the Carraccas and Cumana, were al
ready dispersed in the mountains. Thus, what.-
ever the Englilh may fay, we Ihall not fee ano
ther Bolton up'on the southern continent.
