To Mr. Norton, burgeon, in Golder.-ffiare, London.
Sir, I am cured by the use of Maredant's drops, of a most
afflicting difurder of the fcdrbutic kind, after frying every
medicine that could be thought of for my relief in vain. My
case was as follows : I firft had small pimples tome out on
my head and face ; in a little time after my face was cover
ed with blitches, andon the fide of ray nose fpungy flelh
grew, as big as a fmail nut; the fame round my eyes and
month, though not so large, with blotches on my body, arms,
and in the palms of my hand, attended with so violent a
pais in my head, that I had almost loft the fight of try left
eye, the pain being maftly upon that fide. I was in this situ
ation till January last, when, by Providence, I met a gen
tleman, who was then at Bath, but is since gone to the Weft-
Indies : He recommended Mr. Norton's drops to me, by
which medicine he had been cured of most Shocking ulcerated
legs. I am now in perfect health, and aw continual!, pray
ing for the welfare of the author, of so valuable a medicine.

To Mr. Norton, Surge:", in Golden ftuare, London.
Sir, I take this method of returning you my most fincerc
thanks for the cure of my font, which was effea^d by your
most excellent drops; two years and an half ago he had the
small-poi, immediately after that a most violent humour fet
tled in both his hands, which were so bad that he entirely
loft the use of them : the bones were so much affected that
two pieces separated and came'away. The humour it; his
hands was attended with almost as violent a one in his face,
which formed an entire scab over the whole, and :mdc into
lerably : In short, he was in so much misery, /nd without
hopes of recovery (as I had had the opinion of the moft.emi
nent without effc&, who called it the king's evil) that I
despaired of his life. I, gratitude for so extraordinary a
cure, I have desired this to be made public. Any per son,
by calling at my hr,ufe, the Talbot Inn, in the Strand, may
be informed of every particular, and fee the child.

BY, a number of credible pert ms who are arrived in town
from Halifax, which place they left the 13nult. we learn,
that General Howe, with upwards 140 fail ot men of war,
transports, &c. with about 8 Or 9000 uo>ps on board, failed
from thence three days before they c m away, supp tied
bound for New-York.—That, in this fl et went 14 volun
teers, upder the command of Cap r . Stanton, ot the 14th
regiment, among whom are. Brigadier Raggies and son, late
of Hardwick; William Tyng, John Hicks (whose father
was (Ida at Lexington by these very ministerial butchers,
while fighting gloriously tor his coun ry' tliberty) and John
Howe, the two latter were Printers, and all three formerly
of this town. That General Howe left behind one or two
men es war to guard the dock yard, and the whole of the
drarioes, two companies qf the 14th regiment, a detachment
from the train of acii/ery, and all the ngt horfc; besides
which, all the women and children, and the sick and wound
ed Soldiers, were also left, under the command and direction
of General Massey. That only five hundred recruits, as a
reinforcement, have as yet, arrived there. That strong for
tifications were creeling on the Citadel-Hill, and near the
dockyard, the general being in great fear of an attack from,
the Continental Forces. That General Burgoyne, in the
Ills, a §o gun (hip, arrived at Quebec with 4030 troops,
from England the middle of May. That Major M ggs who
was unfortunately taken prisoner at Quebec the jilt of De
cember last, was Sent to Halifax in the Niger frigate, Cipt.
Talbot. Hi is,permitted to go to Conntaicut on h^ patola
of honour, but to return when called on. That Cap ,ria
Martindale, who was taken in one of our Privateers, wi h
about 70 men, and carried to England, was lent baca in he
Grey-Hound frigate, and arrived at Halifax the latter end of
May. That the tories, who went from hence were in a mi
serable situation, wishing they had never qui t d the town,
but tarried and taken the consequence. And mat the ne
groes, carried off when the army and fleet were obliged to
evacuate the town and harbour, were Scot to Louilburgh, to
dig coal for their tyrannical masters. These blacks were
commanded by a certain Captain Lindsey.
We also learn from Halifax, that when the New York to
ries arrived there, they applied to General Howe for fubfif
tance; but were informed, that unless they took up arms ia
defence of government, they could have no relief, when Sonic
of them voluntarily entered the Service, and others through
necessity were obliged to; and chat the fourth day after their
inliftment, they, together with the Boston negroes, were or
dered to dig in the coal mines at Neva Scotia, where we hope
they will remain during life.
WORCESTER, %/,§.
We hear that Capt. White, in a privateer Schooner belong
ing to Salem, has taken and frnt into Beverley, a Hoop with
one hundred and fifty puncheons of rum, said to be bound
from Antigua to Ireland, which he took in his passage tor
the Weft-Indies.
N E W - P O R T, (Rhde-Ifland) June % 4 .
Capt. Campbell, lately from Antigua, via St. Euftatia, in
forms, that a little before he left Antigua, a vessel from
Georgia, belonging to Me. Samuel Brenton of this place, was
Seized there by a man of war, with all her cargo, confiding
of lumber, indigo, &c. Mr. Brenton, then pref, nt, urged
his being a friend to government as a retfon for his being fa
voured, but the Admiral told him the act of par! ament by
which he was Seized, made no ptovifion for friends 10 govern
ment! He then pleaded the fame to the Maifhall for being
indulged in buying the indigo at a moderate price; but the
Marlbali said it was difficult to determnie who were friends
to government, or to that purport, and that he mould buy
the indigo himfclf to Ship to England. Just so would all Ame
rican tories fare, Should this country be conquered agreeable
to their wishes; but be assured the fun, moon and liars Shall
fall, the ocean cease to roll, and all nature change its course,
before a few English, Scotch and German Slaves fliall conquer
this vast continent.
HARTFOR D, (in Connecticut) Jul, 8.
Since our last, several regiments of toot, ordered to be rail
ed in this colony, together with three regiments of the troop
of ligVt horfc, have marched for New-York, to assist in the
defence of the capital of that invaded province.
Last Wednesday passed through fhis place, Governor Frank
lin of New-Jersey, on his way to Governor Trumbull at Le
banon, and last Saturday he returned from Lebanon to Wal
lingford, where he is Rationed.
N E W-Y O R K, Jul, n.
Since our last, several of the new raised regiments of Con
ne<fticut troops have arrived in town, and appear to be as fine
a body of men as any engaged in the present grand druggie
for liberty and independence. Among them the light dra
goons, between 5 and 600, who came to town yesterday, and
paraded on horseback through the city, made a noble and
martial appearance; and as this corps are composed of the
substantial yeomanry of a virtuous lifter date, nothing could
be more agreeable or animating to ail true friends of their
country. Some of these worthy soldiers assisted, in their pre
sent uniforms, at the firft reduai^u of Louifburg, and their
" lank lean cheeks and war worn coats," are viewed with
more veneration by their boneft countrymen than if they were
glittering Nabobs from India, or Bathaws with nine tails.
On Wednesday last, the Declaration of Independence was
read at the head of each brigade of the Continental army,
polled at and near New-York, and every where received with
loud huzzas, and the utmost demonstrations of joy.
The fame evening the equestrian hatue of George 111. which
tory pride and folly raised in the year 1770, was, by the sons
of freedom, laid prostrate in the dirt; the just desert of an
ungrateful tyrant! The lead wherewith this monument was
made, is to be run into bullets, to aQin@ilatc with the buin
