ADDRESSES
To the Inhabitants of Connecticut
THE ungenerous and wanton Insurrection against the Sovereignty of Great-Britain, into which this Colony, has been led by the Artifices of desperate and designing Men for private Purposes, might justify in you every Fear, which conscious Guilt could form respecting the Intention of the present Armament.
Yes Towns, your Property, yourselves, all within the grasp of that Power, whose forbearance you have ungenerously construed into Fear; but whose Lenity has persisted in its mild and noble Efforts, even though loaded with the most unmerited Imputation.
The Existence of a single Habitation on our distant Coast, ought to be a continual Reproof to your Ingratitude. Can the breath of your whole Province cope with a Force which might at any Time be poured through every District in your Country? Yes you are conscious it cannot. Why then will you persist in a ruinous and ill-judged Resistance?
We have hoped that you would recover from the Phrensy, which has distracted this unhappy Country; and we believe the Day is now come, when the greater Part of its Contempts begin to blush at their Delusion. You, who lie so much in our Power, and therefore ought to set the first Example of returning to Allegiance.
Reflect upon what Gratitude requires of you; if that is insufficient to move you, attend to your own Interest: We offer you a Refuge from the Distress, which, you universally acknowledge, broods with increasing and insupportable Weight over all your Country.
Leaving you to consult with each other upon this Invitation: We do now declare, That whoever shall be found, and remain in Peace, at his usual place of Residence, shall be shielded from any Insult, either to his Person, or his Property; excepting such as bear Offices either Civil or Military, under your present usurped Government: Of whom, it will be further required, that they shall give Proofs of their
Respect and voluntary Submission; and they shall then partake the like Immunity. Thus, whose Folly and Obstinate may flight this favorable Warning, must take Notice; that they are not to expect a Continuance of that Lenity, which their Inveteracy would now render blameable.

NEW-YORK, June 26.
Extract of a letter received from England by a very respectable merchant of this city from an intelligent gentleman a Plymouth dated April 30 1779.
The French West India trade, has again met with a violent blow. The Terrible and Remedies fell in about a fortnight ago with a fleet of Martinico-men which they totally dispersed, and accounts are really received of 23 being taken out of 30 sail.
France has made very favorable overtures which are now under consideration in the Cabinet, and the continued assurance of a pacific disposition from Spain has thrown a temporary damp on privateering; for my part I do not think things wear so pacific an aspect. Last post an order came down to take up a number of transports, and six regiments are ordered to hold themselves in immediate readiness for embarkation. This to be sure respects principally the American war."
We are informed that a body of stubborn Jonathan lately took occasion to refuse payment of some new taxes demanded of them at Norwich, in Connecticut, whereupon forty were sent to prison; this exasperated their friends, who collected in great numbers for their rescue, in which attempt violence ensued, and several lives were lost. Tanarion and depreciation promise us a speedy consummation of this Puritan Republic.
On Thursday the ship Minerva, Captain Morrison, arrived here from Glasgow, after a tedious passage of 12 weeks.
The same day was sent in here by his Majesty's sloops Otter and Harebell, brig Donomore, schooner Pincafe, sloop Lord North, and schooner Hammond, a sloop from Baltimore loaded with tobacco, being part of a fleet of nine sail, with whom they were warmly engaged for several hours, burnt a brig of 16 guns, drove a galley ashore, and obliged the rest to return into port.
The same day arrived the ship Byron, of Bristol, of 20 guns, and the ship Friendship of Liverpool, of 18 guns, and brought in with them a brig from Philadelphia, of 10 guns, which it is said will prove a very valuable prize.
We are informed that the ship Lady Gage laden chiefly with indigo, from Charles Town South-Carolina, for Old France, is taken by a Bristol and Liverpool Privateer.
The Washington, an American privateer, of 16 guns, is taken by one of his Majesty's frigates in the Bay of Biscay, and carried into Lisbon.
The Belle Ville, a French privateer of 62 guns, and some swivels, fitted out at Brest, is taken in the Bay of Biscay, by the Britannia privateer, after an engagement of one hour, and carried her into Lisbon.
The St. Vincent, a large French ship from Guadaloupe to Nantes, laden with sugar, coffee, and indigo, is taken by a Liverpool privateer, and sent into Weymouth.
The Orleans, a French ship of 400 tons from Guadaloupe, to Bourdeaux, laden with sugar, coffee, &c. is taken by an English privateer, and carried her into Weymouth.
The following is copied from the Morning Chronicle, dated March 24.
We have just to give an account of Governor Johnstone's singular speech, Lord Howe's pointed and personal reply, to the Governor's spirited answer, in which he tendered his services to Administration, and said, that though he did not originally approve of the American war, and therefore was, at the commencement of it unwilling to serve against America, he was now ready to exert his best abilities in the defence and service of his country, in any capacity Government should think proper, and that he would even accept of the command of a BUMBOAT.
D R E S D E N, March 10.
THIS day his Royal Highness Prince Henry of Prussia published, by order of his Prussian Majesty, a general suspension of arms; and the same was signified to the Austrian Generals on this side.

A suspension of arms has been published to take place in Upper Silesia on the 6th, in Lower Silesia on the 7th, in Saxon, 10th, and to continue till the 14th of May.

March 29. From Bristol we learn, that the Admirable galley, of that place, has taken, after an engagement of three glories, the Superb French outward bound West-Indiaman, and carried her into King Road. The galley mounts 20 guns, and the Superb 28. She is very rich, and had parted from her convoy.
Yesterday Admirals Darby and Campbell, and several Captains, on being appointed Admirals, were at Court, and kissed his Majesty's hand on their late promotions. By the late advices from India, accounts have been received of the death of Mr. Alexander Elliot, brother of Sir Gilbert Elliot, Bart. He died in the 25 year of his age, in a journey through the Mahratta country, having been sent from Bengal on an important embassy to Poonah.
Yesterday the Earl of Winchester accompanied his brother-in-law the Hon. Captain Fielding, lately arrived from the West-Indies, to the Levee at St. James's. Capt. Fielding was presented by the Lord in waiting, and most graciously received, and had afterwards the honour to kiss his Majesty's hand. Extract of a letter from Greenock, dated March 15.
Yesterday we were agreeably surprised by the arrival of the Hawke , which was reported to have been taken, with a prize, a French ship from St. Domingo; her cargo consisted of sugars, coffee, &c. estimated at £3,000 l. sterling. The Hawke has acquired much credit. Some days before she took this prize she fell in with a French frigate in the evening. She mistook her for a merchantman, not the least appearance of a gun being to be seen. The Hawke ran up alongside, desired her to strike, and asked if they mounted no guns at all? Monsieur replied, O, not one; directly his ports flew open, and out rushed 18 twelve and nine-pounders of a side. It was hard to argue against such odds, the Hawke only carrying 16 guns; however, Captain Maffie resolved to talk a little English to him; a sharp action ensued, which continued for three quarters, and the Hawke then left her, well pleased to get off so honourably, the French equally well pleased to be quit of her, even at the expense of trampling the Gallic flag. The Hawke had one man killed, and seven wounded. In this part of the kingdom we
March 24. The Thetis frigate, of 23 guns, Capt. Gillies, having had a thorough repair, and a new copper bottom, is laid up at Portsmouth, with orders to look into Scituate, and to return immediately with the cargo from Guernsey and Jersey.
A French ship, called L'Utile, from Port au Prince, bound to Bourdeaux, laden with coffee, sugar, cotton and sailings, is taken by the Tyger privateer, Capt Shaw, just outside of King Road.
The Seamout , La Vieuville, a French Ship, from Guadeloupe, bound to Bournemouth, laden with sugar, coffee, indigo, cotton, &c. is taken by the Dedalus privateer, of Dartmouth, and carried into Whitehaven.
A French brig called Le Petite Magdalen , from Bourdeaux, bound to Port au Prince, is taken by the Virginia letter of marque, Captain Selby, and sent into King Road.
March 26. It is confidently reported, that as soon as the different charges against the Earl of Sandwich (as well respecting the navy as the present enquiry into the management of Greenwich hospital) are gone through, that his Lordship will resign his seat as a Lord of the Admiralty, be appointed Secretary of State in the room of Lord Suffolk, together with the additional honour of the vacant blue ribbon.
by the Herb, Guernsey privateer, says, that on their voyage home, in passing the Gulf of Florida, two English frigates fell in with them and took five ships, which were all they could see; the rest of the fleet escaped.
The Quebec frigate, Captain Farmer, having been lately sheathed with copper, is come out of dock, and is now taking in ballast at Sheerness; she will speedily sail for the West Indies.
The Kennebec man of war, Sir Andrew Snape Mandeville, has got a thorough repair, is sheathed with copper, and is now fitting for sea at Woolwich, with the greatest expedition: At the same port Admiral Edwards is to hoist the flag on board the Portland; she is sheathing with copper, and some time in next month the Edgar, a fine new 74 gun man of war, will be launched on the stocks of the former; the Grafton, of 64 guns, and a new frigate of 40 guns on one deck; the three last mentioned are all to be sheathed with copper before they are launched, a practice entirely new. Several Rose ships and transports sailed from hence a few days ago, most of them for the West Indies; many vessels are likewise sailing at the Warren with ordnance stores, for has everything there, in the different departments, wears the face of war.
Extract of a Letter from Portsmouth dated March 24.
This day Admiral Evans hoisted his white flag at the mizen top on board the London at Spithead.
This morning 153 French prisoners (soldiers) part of the troops on board of the steamer taken by the Active prisoners, were brought to the King's house in this city, under the guard of the West Kent Militia. Two thousand more are daily expected here, for whom another of the King's houses is fitted up. Several acres of ground adjoining to the prison are to be enclosed for the purpose of giving them sufficient room to walk about and amuse themselves."
March 27. Yesterday a motion was made in the House of Commons for the Directors of the East-India Company to lay before that House parts of the advice received from Fort St. George, of the 16th instant, relative to the late revolution at that place.
And also a copy of the letters, patents granted to the East India Company, in the 8th of January, 1755.
East India Company. For the removal of the chair, Chatter for twenty-one years, is a free gift of two millions, and the loss of as many more.
 The expence to the East India Company of bringing the French troops, &c. from Pondicherry to France, agreeable to the capitulation, will exceed, it is supposed one hundred thousand Pounds, on account of the dearness of freight and victualling. 
The English were never so powerful in India as at present, the French being totally annihilated by the late fortunate event, the reduction of Pondicherry & and while the present state subsists between the Company and the Princes of the country, the former have neither any European rival, or Ally for to be apprehensive of.
Cargo of the Bridgewater from Buenos Ayres, arrived on account of the United Company of Merchants of England, trading to the East Indies, viz. 1614900 lb. pepper, black, 114900 ditto, which besides several parcels of goods, the particulars whereof are not yet known.
N E W Y O R K, July 3. On Tuesday Morning...
Emmerich's light dragoons, with Major Barimore and thirty of his troopers, all under the command of Capt. Beckwith, Aide de Camp to his Excellency General Key- penson, attacked a rebel picquet at Byron's and another at Sharard's bridge, consisting of fifty militia men, killed fourteen, took four prisoners, and put the rest to flight without the loss of a man.
On Wednesday night a party of rebels landed on State Island, and carried off Col. Cortelyou, and M c William Smith, of Woodbridge.
 On Thursday came into the Rar River a beautiful brigantine with about six hundred heads of high-flavoured Rappahannock, for a joint price to the Lord Mayor, one Messrs. Goodrich's fortunate store, and the Apollo, an alert little cruiser, owned by a fraternity of our secession fellow-citizens. Two days before his arrival Messrs. Goodrich and Co. received another remittance from a Sultan of the Chesapeake, consisting in three hundred and fifty hogsheads of sweet scented York River, prime quality, worth thirty thousand pounds, and intended as a future second marriage for Mr. Carter Breton of Virginia, who 'tis said, proposes running, with his whole family, into the territories of that great and good ally of rebellion, Miss Christian Majesty Louis Sales. 
On Tuesday last a party of Refugees from Long Island proceeded to West Chester, and brought off (with the assistance of the gun-ship below City-Island) 50 milch cows, 12 or 14 horses, and 150 sheep, which they drove to Jamaica Plains. None of the party received any injury.
Some night a party of the 37th reg't with a detachment of Col. Barton's, same Reg't went over from Staten-Isle to the Jerseys, marched up to Woodbridge and attacked a company of militia light horse stationed there to intercept the country people coming to New-York market, to prevent their joining the royal army: During the conflict, the rebel Captain whose name was Skinner, with several privates were killed, and their Lieutenant, with several privates were taken, without any loss to the royal party. The prisoners were bro't in on Wednesday evening.
Copy of an intercepted letter, dated 6th, 1779, from Mons. Boye, an am- bassador of Cayen, in Mississippi

My dear friend, since mine I received your last letter of the 20th January, being the last received from you.
Surely, Sir, you cannot be satisfied that six men are all that you have in your service from me, as it is in your power to get here a body of the many ships we have just at the commencement of this unfortu- nate war, the cruel effects of which will more and more be felt.
I decline every idea of fortune, and will not mention the inconsiderable benefits which we have had; for every sort of com- merce being intercepted, we do not in the slightest daily expect. On the contrary, my good friend, imagine, that since three months we are absolutely reduced to the wretched alternative of starving on ground provisions and water.
Since that period we have not received the least supplies whatever, and in consequence many have already died; and this deplorable state seems to await us all.
Thanks to a happy temperament, I am one who seems to have suffered less; but I too well perceive that my constitution, good as it is, has already suffered; for the hor- rible unacquainted with stomach com- plaints, I am now cruelly afflicted by such symptoms without knowing when their dura- tion will end.
The wretched peasants of France are hap- pier than the wretched colonists of this new Interim district; since certain it is that with money the necessaries of life are not to be procured.
Upwards of six months have we been flat- tered with a convoy of merchandise to St. Domingo. Indeed we have been informed that it sailed from Brest the 18th of Febru- ary, and on the 12th of that month was over- taken and dispersed by a storm.
God knows what will become of it; four ships are indeed arrived at the Cap, but it is afant two leagues from this place.
How can we be succoured unless the Ge- neral turns his attention to our affairs?
One of these ships ought to have been sent here, but the commander unwilling to risk his determined to dispose of his cargo at the Cap.
My good friend, behold our happy lot, our terrible condition at St. Domingo.
What advantages does France promise her- self by this war? Can she imagine it will be of long duration? I humbly imagine that the events of this summer will more effect- ually decide this question than the best logical reasoning.
We absolutely know nothing that passeth in France. M. d'Estaing who wintered in the windward islands, is expected or per- haps is arrived at the Cap, from whence it is pretended he is to attack Jamaica.
His success would extend and protect our own works; but of this we dare not even flatter ourselves. We must leave Monsieur de Gartemier at Martinique to observe the mo- tions of Monsieur Byron, who is still at St. Lucia.
For once perhaps God Almighty will be of our side; it is indeed high time he should take our part, for we must forever renounce war, if in this we do not obtain superiority.

On board the Diana Transport, White- Stone, July 2, 1779.
Dear Sir, THIS moment received the inclosed re- port from Lieut. Col. Winslow, and for- ward it immediately to Mr. Leonard, who is will do himself the honour of delivering it to your Excellency, and of explaining to you whatever may be desired by your Excellency and the other of our Associates and a- gents, who are his Majesty's loyal

EDM. FANNING, Col. Associated Refugees, &c. to His Excellency Governor Franklin.
Royal Charlotte, Huntington Harbour, 18 July, 1779.
SIR, I HAVE the honour to report to you, that on the 10th ult. after being joined by Capt. Bannet and about 30 men, I left this place, intending to make a descent upon the town of Norwalk, in the Colony of Connecti- cut. At two o'clock in the morning of the 10th, our vessels came to anchor at the mouth of Norwalk harbour, between the islands. The Rebels immediately fired a alarm-guns, made false fires and rockets, and rung the bells in the church, by which means considerable bodies were collected in different places, to oppose our landing.
I at first supposed that the brightness of the evening had enabled them to discover our vessels at a distance, but I have since every reason to conclude that they had re- ceived particular intelligence of our move- ments by boats from this place. At day- break there were at least 600 men in view, with several pieces of cannon, one of which they brought down to the water's edge, and began firing on our armed vessels, which Mr. Leonard had ordered to stand on and off. Finding it impracticable, for the great supe- riority of their numbers to pursue our & & object, I determined to make the alarm as general and extensive as possible. For this purpose I continued in Norwalk harbour, till about nine o'clock, making frequent feints of landing, and distracting the twelve companies of the General Prescott. When the enemy were sufficiently disturbed in this quarter, I took the benefit of a favorable breeze and ran down to that part of the field which is called Green's Farms, where I land- ed with Major Upham, Mr. Leonard, and about 60 men. On advancing to the houses, Capt. Bannet, with twelve men (who flank'd on the right) were fired on by a party of the rebels—he returned their fire and obliged them to retreat. The rebels had placed a piece of cannon in a very strong position over a creek, at the entrance of a wood, from which they repeatedly fired, but did not prevent my taking possession of the houses.
After dispersing the guards posted here, and driving them to the hill under cover of their cannon, I ordered the party to return to their boats, but lest the Rebels should cross the creek with cannon, and avail themselves of the buildings to annoy us at our embarkati- on, I set fire to three large dwelling houses, two barns, and several out-houses. Two of the houses with their furniture, two barns crowded with hay, and a number of out-hou- ses were entirely consumed. The other house was extinguished. I then embarked with the party without suffering any loss or injury. The Rebels continued firing on our boats and vessels, which was occasionally returned by the General Prescott and Royal Charlotte. While in this situation, we with pleasure ob- served that the enemy was in extreme con- fusion, and we endeavored to increase their perplexity by sending different ways with our boats and vessels.
My next appearance with the party was off Mill River in which we discovered two vessels, who on our approach hoisted sail and ran farther up. At this place also the rebels brought down a piece of heavy arti- lery and placed it on a very advantageous spot to command the entrance of the river, while large bodies assembled on the hills. As we kept up a constant fire upon the
1262 houses for a considerable time. No sudden happened at this place, except to the rig- ging of the Prescott and one shot in her hull.
I then returned to this harbour (after stretching along the Connecticut shore and occasioning new trouble to our enemies.)
I acknowledge myself exceedingly indebted to Major Upham and Mr. Leonard for their advice and assistance.
I have the honour to be, Your most obedient, and most humble Servant ED. WINSLOW,
Lt. Col. Commandant Associated Refugees Col. Fanning.
