CHARLES TOWN. (S. Carolina) June 19
A Number of Volunteers and French Officers, who have three Years Leave to serve in America, are just arrived here, landed from a Snow that left Boudeaux the 26th of March last. Among them are the Marquis de Mircalm, and the Marquis de Fayette; the last said to be son in-Law to the Duke d'Aguin.
June 25. On Wednesday left a Number of useful Brass Ordnance, with their Apparatus, a large Quantity of Gunpowder, &c. were received here.
There was a Mistake in the Account inserted in our list of Officers landed from a French Snow, to enter in the Continental Service: The Marquis de Mircalm is not among them; but there are, the Marquis de la Fayette, Baron de Kalb, and the Vicomte de Murey, all Major Generals, an Engineer, and eleven Officers of inferior Rank.
The French Vessel, from which a Number of Officers landed last Monday, has since arrived in a safe Port. She is from Boudeaux, and left it the 26th of March. On the 20th of that Month a Vessel arrived there with Dispatches from Congress, to the Hon. Dr. Franklin, and carried in two English Prizes, which were immediately sold.
A Fleet was to sail for Great-Britain from Antigua about the 20th of June; and another from Mississippi about the same Time, under Convoy of a Man of War Ship, chiefly for the West Indies. Those that were bound for England, are said to have very rich Cargoes.
An unhappy dispute having lately arisen between the Honorable Button Gwinnet, late Governor of Georgia, and General McIntosh, commanding officer of the Continental troops in that State, the same was determined by a duel between the parties, with pistols, when both the combatants were wounded. Mr. Gwinnet died of his wound, and was interred yesterday last night; and the General, we hear, lay dangerously ill.
HEAD-QUARTERS in BOSTON, July 17, 1777.
IT is with Surprise and Indignation the General hears that some of the Soldiers belonging to the Northern Army, have at and since the Retreat from Ticonderoga, deserted from their Regiments, and are returning homewards. He does, in the most pressing and exact Manner, call upon the Officers of all Ranks to exert their utmost Endeavours immediately to apprehend all such Deserters, and send them, such as are found at or near this Place, to the Main-Guard in Boston; those in the County of Middlesex to the Guard at Cambridge; those in the County of Worcester, to the Guard or Prison in Worcester; those in the County of Hampshire, to the Guard at Springfield; and those in other Counties as soon as possible, to either of the before-mentioned Places, as may be most convenient.
And all Civil and Militia Officers are desired to aid and assist in apprehending any such Deserters, or any others who are enlisted into the Continental Army, who may be found skulking about their respective Towns.
By Order of Major Gen. HEATH, J. KEITH, A. D. C.
STATE of MASSACHUSETTS-BAY. Council-Chamber, July 26th, 1777.
WHEREAS, it is reported that since the evacuation of the fort at Ticonderoga, some of the Continental Soldiers belonging to this State, have left the northern army, and are now on the road to their respective homes - Therefore, Ordered, That it be, and hereby is earnestly recommended to the officers in the militia within this State, and to the select men and committee of correspondence within their respective towns, and plantations in the same, to take up every such soldier and deliver them to the next Continental Officer belonging to the army, and in case no such officer should be near, then to deliver him to the keeper of the common goal of the county wherein such soldiers shall be found, to be by him kept in close custody, until called for by some such Continental Officer as aforesaid, or regularly released in some other way; and the names of such prisoners shall be by such keeper immediately transmitted to General Heath: And the keepers of the several goals within this State, are hereby directed to regulate their
conduct conformable to this order: And the said militia-officers, select men and committees of correspondence, are earnestly requested, as they regard the CAUSE OF LIBERTY, and the SALVATION OF THE COUNTRY, to be very diligent in carrying this order into execution, without favour or affection.

STATE of MASSACHUSETTS-BAY. Council-Chamber, July 13, 1777.
WHEREAS the Council have received Intelligence that renders it highly probable that our cruel and blood thirsty Enemies have it in contemplation to make an Incurson into the New-England States, thereby to carry into execution their execrable Plans. Therefore,
Ordered, That the Brigadiers in the several Counties in this State, and in their Absence, the next commanding Officer be, and they hereby are directed for as to cause all the Militia within their respective Brigades, to be immediately equipped with Arms Accoutrements and Ammunition, according to Law, and six Days Provisions. Being thus equipped, they are to hold themselves in constant readiness to march at a Minute's Warning, to any Place that may be attacked by our worse than Savage Enemy.

PROVIDENCE, July 20.
At the Special Court held here last Week, Jonathan Slocum, of Warwick, in the County of Kent, was indicted by the Grand Jury, for having passed a Number of Counterfeit Bills, made in Imitation of the 48s. Bills emitted by the State of Massachusetts Bay, dated Nov. 17, 1776, knowing the same to be forged and counterfeit, and on Friday the 18th Instant he was found guilty by the Petit Jury, and sentenced by the Court to be set in the Pillory in this Town for the Space of one Hour, on Friday, the 22nd Day of August next, to have both his Ears cropp'd, to be branded with the Letter R, on each Cheek, to be imprisoned until the said 22nd Day of August, to pay double Damages to every Person by him defrauded with the counterfeit Bills, and to forfeit all his Lands, Goods and Chattels, for the Use of the State.
Sarah Slocum, of North-Kingston Widow, was also indicted for the same Crime, tried and found guilty, and received the same Sentence with this Difference, that she is to stand in the Pillory but Half an Hour.
Ebenezer Slocum, William Gory, and John Currell, were capitally indicted for supplying and holding treasonable correspondence with the Enemy; but they were acquitted, for Want of sufficient Evidence.

HORACE.
GENTLEMEN REBELS.
 THE melancholy Turn of your Affairs is really pitiable. Your Letters, Disappointment and Distresses, while they have Power to soften Rocks (as one may say) are fit to weigh down Men more firm, if possible, than yours, nobly inspired as they are with Heaven born Liberty, Rum and Molasses. Some Spies, an Enemy to martial Deeds, bears on sometimes upon my Hours of Meditation, and whispers in my Ear, it had been better you had staid behind your Counters, rolling your Eyes, and cheating Friends and Neighbours, than to take the Field, shooting and pioneering, with us Shes and cheating Nobody, but your darling Self. 
But who could dream that every growing Hope should be thus smothered in its Cradle: Had you not Assurances of Success, by these Vehicles of Truth, the Silver Tongues of our sweet preaching Saints?
These views as Expounders of a Religion in- fusing Mildness and Philanthropy, gave you all possible Encouragement to draw the Sword against your Brethren, and, them re- effectually to remove your Scruples, pro- mitted you entire Victory.
To doubt their Prophecy, was to suppose they were as little able to pervade the Mysteries of unborn Fate as you were. Your Complaisance to them and Diffidence of your own Power, would not permit you to descend to such Suspicions. Heaven must surely be on your Side; for you are Rebels! Heaven is on your Side; because you Saints have told you so. Alas! Gentlemen, they may be Saints; but I can hardly look them Conjurors!
However, you have too much Common-Sense to give up the Cause you are engaged in: It has indeed been an indifferent One to you hitherto; but the Times may mend, — consider your Army is reduced to a tenth Part of what it was at the Beginning of the last Campaign, and of Course you will have a less Demand for Rum and Riff-Raffs — that's one Comfort. In the next Place, you had the Dexterity to give T. Co-dereys to General Burgoyne: There you procured you Garrison the Amusement and luxury Excise of raving; which, considering how long they had been closed up, matters with Help of a light Det, be exceedingly delectable and proper. Let me, for a few Minutes, examine on the Bench what this Affair of yours is likely to impart to you.
First, we shall lay down a military Principle, that it is usual, upon all Occasions, to deceive the Enemy. This you did eminently; since General Burgoyne was made to believe he compelled you to retreat to the Plains; which, in Fact, you were never in; making him a Master of it all the While. Nay, in this particular, I would venture to affirm, you have deceived Half the World; who, for Want of being in the Secret, would be tempted to conclude you had been scared and beaten out of your strong Hold.
The next Advantage is notorious to the meanest Capacity of a Jockey or a Hunchbacked-foiler.
Your Northern Army, driven from their Intrenchments, their Ammunition, Baggage and Provisions, dispirited and reduced in Number, though Sickness and Absence, Disheartenment, and the loss sustained by their successive, most prodigious defeats, you may be sure, will make
Let me tell you, your maritime friends go on so swimingly as you do. We hear but poor News about them. Some of your grand Ships, it is said, drive from the Surface to the Bot- tom. Aye! Aye! I dare say they have
Orders to do so. Indeed, when they are fired at by any little Sloops, it is no artificial Method of Security to go downwards, to avoid the Shot. Bless us, have you heard that Mr. Manly is taken? Done on Purpose, as I guess! Well, surely, let Folks say what they will of the Rebels; but a more generous Gang of Gentlemen never, in e, were heard of: Giving away Towns and Fortresses, like Corn-Cobs, at every Whip and Turn, and laughing, ready to break their Sides, at the Want of Perception of His Majesty's Officers, who so very unadvisedly accept of them.
The Rebels may indeed be daily diminishing in Number, but must proportionally augment in martial Skill; so that when the Continental Army is reduced to about 20 Men, it will be so wonderfully improved in Experience and Ability, that, like the Forces of Mr. Bayes in the Rehearsal, one Hero shall himself be able to dispatch a Hundred Regiments.
I am told, your Paper-Money is falling into Disrepute; that is an Embarrassment I should conceive! It is said, you do not find the Business of recruiting to go on as you expected. And, to crown all, the Indians, we are told, are ready to save you the Fatigue of combing your thin Tresses.
These Things look but gloomy.—Let's see! Suppose you were to report? You feel pretty bold at Boston, they inform us; Carts busy, I suppose, carrying off Effects. Has your Ambassador got you an Army yet, from France? Monstrous dilatory! He might have sent two or three Hundred Thousand to begin with. Are you building any more Frigates; and where will they put into, two or three Months hence? It is probable, the Ports of America will not then be in the Hands of your Friends. Do you intend to new model your Army, and take no Officer in it but what understands his Duty? Some People are spiteful enough to say, you are unreasonable to desire the Shoemaker to go beyond his Last.
As to my Part, I can conceive your Dilemma: you must either put up with such Genera as you have, or none; and a worse Dilemma still is, you must either perish or submit. Such Misads as yours, so warmed and clarified with enthusiastic Fire, so intelligent in the Art of true Policy, which consists in the entire free Agency of every Individual, so justly determined to resign every solid Benefit for a vague Term, which cannot exist, according to the Idea you annex to it; I say, such Misads, in such a Case, will present'y determine which Side they will incline to, leaving the rising Generation in Astonishment at the Effects of Avarice and Superstition.

BOSTON, July 17.
To the PEOPLE of the MASSACHUSETTS BAY
Friends and Brethren,
 ALREADY have we been too long amused with idle reports of the precarious state of our Affairs, by hot headed zealots, whose sole business it is to deceive. We have been told, that our army is infinitely superior to that of our enemies: That at Ticonderoga, we had a garrison equal to all the British forces in Canada: That it would be inevitable destruction to the enemy, should they attack us. In consequence of these and numberless similar reports, both officers and soldiers have been suffered to loiter about this capital, as if an Army was not wanted, and to waste their time in galanting the Ladies, instead of defending their country. Government has, in the mean time, been passing trial less resolutions, requiring the officers to make an 
turns to them of the forces already inſiſted : They have threatened delinquent officers with the loſs of their commiſſions : They have ordered the troops to be collected, and to join the grand army. After paſſing reſolves, they ſeem to have conſidered the buſineſs as compleated. Inſtead of attending to meaſures for enforcing their own orders, they have been teaching others to deſpiſe their authority, by diſputing it themſelves, and finding fault with the Conſtitution. We have been repeatedly warned of the dangerous tendency of ſuch meaſures ; and unleſs we alter them, they will prove our ruin. Now is the time for action. A campaign is now opening, which may probably determine our fate. Is it not then the extravagance of folly to ſpend our time in ſpeculation, when we ought to ſtain every nerve to ſecure our country. Had our ſoldiers been aſſembled and diſciplined as faſt as they were iſſued, our army would have been, before this time, in a much more reſpectable ſtate. On the contrary, they have been ſuffered to remain at home, in riot. Had we attended to the war, as a matter of ſuch importance demands, Ticonderoga had been now in our poſſeſſion. But through too great neglect at home, that fortreſs, on which immenſe labour and enormous ſums have been beſtowed, at preſent anſwers no other end than as a magazine for the enemy, and to prevent our arms from penetrating into their country. It is to an high degree provoking, that when we have a numerous army in pay, thoſe few, who have the reſolution not to deſert their country's cauſe, ſhould be, in a great meaſure, unſupported. It is owing to this cauſe, that ſo many of our forts have been relinquished, and become places of defence for our enemies. Let us not then employ ourſelves any longer in vain diſputes about the form of government. Let us firſt ſee whether we have a country to govern, and aſcertain the Lords of the ſoil. Let us unite our endeavours to proſecute the war with vigour. Then, and not before, we ſhall carry it on with ſucceſs. Let all orders of men exert all their powers to bring the war to a ſpeedy and a happy iſſue. Our country is not yet loſt, though we have loſt one barrier againſt the enemy ; but certain ruin awaits us, unleſs we attend more to the war than we have lately done. This year is probably pregnant with the fate of the American States. If we unite our efforts now, we ſhall ſave our Country : If we continue to diſpute on matters comparatively of little importance, we are undone.
MARCUS BRUTUS.
Boston, July 14, 1777.
W E have borne 'till we can bear no longer:—Therefore, All the true SONS of LIBERTY in this Town, are desired to meet To-morrow Morning, at the Ringing of the Bell's, on Cap's Hill there to determine what Measures are best to be taken with Monopolizers and Others, who now withhold the Necessaries of Life from Public Sale...as we are determined no longer to be trifled with, by those common Enemies of God and Man.
The PEOPLE
Upon the Publication of the above Paper in Boston, the Merchants and Traders began to tremble for the Consequences, and were unawares in their Endeavours, to change the Meeting from Cop's-Hill to Faneuil-Hall: They at length accomplished it; and when there, very humbly confessed their Faults, promised to open their Stores, sell at certain Rates agreed upon at that Meeting, and to take Paper-Money. This pacified the Rabble at that Time, and kept them quiet for some Days: Since which several Stores have been broke open, and their Contents FREELY taken away.

H A L I F A X, July 15. Captain Brisbane of his Majesty's Ship Flora being on a Cruise the 7th Instant at Day Light discovered three large Ships and a Sloop upon his Weather Quarter, and one about six Miles upon his Lee Quarter, all standing close upon a Wind to the Westward as she then was; as soon as possible he tacked, and at 6 A. M. passed so near to Leeward of the three weathermost Ships as to fire two Gun Shot at them in order to make them show their Colours, upon the second Shot being fired they all three hoisted Continental Colours, formed a Line ahead and Shortened Sail; soon after this the two weathermost tacked, and passed close under the Lee Quarter of the Flora, who exchanged Broad-sides with each of them as they crossed each other, the Flora stood on to the Ship which had not tacked, gave and received a Broadside from her, upon which she attempted to go about, but missing stays, was obliged to wear, which afforded the Flora the Opportunity of raking her with great Success: The Flora wore after this Ship and pursued her, the other two keeping close to the Wind; their several Manoeuvres of the Rebels lost them a great deal of Ground and at the same Time afforded the fourth Ship the favourable Opportunity of drawing up to the Distance of about three Miles and she fortunately proved to be his Majesty's Ship Rainbow who at the passed fired several well pointed Shot at the Flora's Chase, and upon the largest of the three Ships tacking, the Rainbow tacked and chased her: the Flora at 6 P. M. came up with her Chase, and was agreeably surprised to find it was his Majesty's Ship Fox of Twenty eight Guns, which after a very close and brisk Engagement of two Hours against the Hancock and Boston, and having received much Damage was obliged to strike to these Ships: In this Transaction the determined Bravery and Coolness of Captain Brisbane leaves us at a loss how to speak sufficiently in his Praise; it is from such Resolution that Rebellion, must soon hide her baseful Head, and all deluded Advocates seek Shelter by returning to proper Obedience; and we may rest assured that this Gentleman's Merit and Gallantry, will meet the warmest Approbation of a grateful Sovereign.
Wednesday last arrived his Majesty's Ship Flora, with the Fox, safe in this Harbour. Last Saturday arrived His Majesty's Ship Rainbow, Sir George Collier, and brought in here the Hancock, Frigate of 32 twelve pounders, commanded by Manley.
Yesterday sailed for New York, His Majesty's Ship Syren.
M c Manley, late commander of the Rebel Frigate Hancock, was sent Prisoner to New-York, in the Syren.
N E W P O R T, August 14. Yesterday arrived here His Majesty's Ship Flora, Capt. Brisbane, from Halifax, and brought in with him the Ship Hero from Boston, but left from Nantucket, — Coffin, Master. In her were Passengers, Mr. William Jackson, Mr. Nathaniel Wheatley and Family, Dr. Church's Lady and Family.
At the same Time returned from their Cruise, His Majesty's Ships Ophelia, Juno and Amazon, with three Prizes; and we hear that they have just arrived here Halifax. They likewise destroyed a Rebel Privateer of 18 Guns, call'd the Lady Washington.
In a Brig from Guadalupe bound to Newbury Port, was taken a Frenchman who calls himself a General. The Spirit of Jealousy which the Leaders in the American Rebellion endeavoured by every Artifice to create, hath now happily been so changed in's Obj s & s and as the Distemper evidently grows more violent as they arrive at the last Stage of their political Infancy, the most happy Consequences may soon be expected. In Boston they have reportedly assembled, and like true Sons of LIBERTY, broke open a number of Stores, took out their Contents, and with a GENE-
ROSITY peculiar to FREEMEN, liberally distributed to those, who begin to find that Liberty, though a charming Word, will afford but little solid Satisfaction to a starving Family. It is likewise Matter of Pleasure, that the Stores which they have opened, belonged to Men who have been foremost in promoting the present Rebellion. Thomas Boylston, has had his Store opened by a Body of Women, and poor Man, very narrowly escaped a more dangerous Operation. William Dennis, likewise begins to tremble, lest he should fall into the hands of these enraged Amazons.
We are assured by a Gentleman of veracity, lately from Boston, that for several Months past, the Rebels have lost more Privateers than they have taken Prizes.
They tell of Vessels arriving into Ports at all Points of the Compass; but this Artifice has become too stale, any longer to impose upon the Populace.
There is a late New-London Paper in Town, but we have not been able to obtain it for this Days Paper. It contains an Account, that the Fleet have been in Delaware as Newcastle, and return'd again to New-York.
Since our last arrived here the Fanny, Capt. Wignell, and the Marlborough, Capt. Dawson, both Lotters of Marque, fitted out at Liverpool.
On Friday the 13th of June last, the Ship Fanny, James Wignell, from Liverpool, at Three P. M. in Lat. 42. 43. Long. 41. 30. saw a Sail upon her Starboard Quarter, bearing down: At Five was so near to see that she was a Schooner, under American Colours, at the same Time she fired several Guns: At Six came to nigh, that her Shot reached over them several Times, which they returned with their Stern Chases: At Seven came to nigh, that she fired Grape-Shot on board them. They then had their Courses up, and got every Thing ready for the Attack, were down upon her, and gave her several Bread-sided from their larboard Guns. Their being little Wind, she pulled round their Stern with her Oars, close upon their Starboard Quarter, and gave a very hot Fire, for the Space of four Glances, with great Guns and small Arms; at the same Time the Fanny returning the Compliment, they could see her Yards, Main-Sail and Boom, all coming down, and heard very melancholy Cries, with "For God in Heaven's Sake, pull up your Oars, get off." It being then calm, they kept a continual Fire at the Schooner, as long as they thought they could do her any Damage; and about Eleven she got out of their Reach. From that Time till Twelve, they saw her Lights, fore and aft, in great Confusion, and afterwards lost Sight of her. A light Breeze springing up, they stood for her; but at Day-Light could perceive nothing of her: From which they conclude, and are almost certain, that she must have gone down; as they are convinced, the Fanny's Shot struck her low. — She carried 14 or 16 Carriage-Guns.
The Marlborough in her Passage out, took a Schooner from South Carolina, laden with Rice, bound to Bilboa.
ENSIGN BEST, of the 22d Regiment, has been ROBBED, of FOUR GUINEAS, TWO HALF JOES, and some SHIRTS and STOCKINGS, marked with Ink I. B. — It is requested, that if any Person should offer such Things for Sale, they may be sent to the Main-Guard, and Notice given the Town-Major. • TWO GUINEAS Reward will be given to any Person who discovers the Thief.
L O S T, A STONE RING, set in Gold. Whoever has found it, and will bring it to the Printer, shall be handsomely rewarded.
