ter, Morris Hetfield, and John Hannion, eight ift
number, embarked in a Whale-Boat and proceeded
for New-York, where they boarded and took pos
session of a twenty-four gun flhip, called the Eagle,
then lying under the old battery, which was con
ducted with so much gallantry and address, that no
opposition was attempted by the crew ; on the con
trary, every individual fought for a place of securi
ty ; but their endeavours for that purpose were ren
dered abortive by the unprecedented valour and vi
gilance of those heroic spirits, who conduced the
enterprize. —After having captured three naval
Captains, and eighteen men, they secured them on
board the (loop, which then lay along fide the Ea
gle; and found her laden with one hundred and
nineteen puncheons of Jamaica spirits, most of the
ihips fails, with 12 nine pounders, loaded and
mounted, besides mufquets, &c.—The sloop they
brought off, and passed through the Kills, without
molestation for Elizabeth Town Point ; where, ha
ving lightened the vessel, they led her in triumph
to the landing, where she lies a viffible testimony of
martial enterprise and heroism.— In justice to those
men, whose undaunted resolution enfnred them suc
cess we must observe, that it isa brilliant feat and
ideferves the applause of their country and it's adhe
rents.

On the report of a committee, confifling of Mr.
Hamilton, Mr. Madison, and Mr. Fitzfimmons :
Whereas it is affentia! to justice and to the pre
servation of publiccredit, that whenever a nation is
obliged by the exigencies of public affairs to con
trad a debt, proper funds should be eftabliihed, not
only for paying the annual value or interest of the
fame, but for difeharging the principal within a
reasonable period, by which a nation may avoid the
evils of an cxceffive accumulation of debt; there
fore,
Resolved, That whenever the nett produce cf any
funds recommended by Congress and granted by
the states, for funding the debt already contracted,
or for procuring future loans for the fopport of the
war, Ihall exceed the sum requisite for paying the
interest of the whole amount of the national debt,
which these states may owe at the termination of
the present war, the surplus of such grants shall
form a finking fund, to be inviolably appropriated
to the payment of the principal of the said debt,
and shall on no account be diverted to any other
purpose.
And in order that the several states may have

Dr. Watts, in his advertisement to the readers,
fays, “ It were to be wished that all congregati
ons and private families would sing as they do in
foreign Protestant countries without reading line
byline. Though the Author has done what he
could to make the sense complete in every line or
two, yet many inconveniences will always attend
this unhappy manner offinging; but where it can
not be altered, these two things may give some re
lief.
" I. Let as many as can do it bring Psalm-
Books with them, and look on the words while
they sing, so far as to make the sense complete.
IL Let the clerk read the whole Psalm over
aloud before he begins tn parcel cut the lines, that
the people may have some notion of what they sing,
and not be forced to drag on heavily through eight
tedious syllables without any meaning, till the next
lines come to give the sense ofihetr."
The Printer expels that the different Lcietiea
wi'l afeertain the number of books they may want,
and transmit them to him without delay. Non
fubferibers must not exped a single book at ths
price above proposed.
A PPLICATION having been made to the
Printer, by some of the neighbouring pariti
es for a number of Psalm Books for the use of the
society, (the present mode of singing, by giving
out the line, being thought so dissonant and unhar
monious,) he begs leave to lay the following before
