Account of the loss of the prisoner... to Liverpool, by one of Count D'Estaing's ships, near Sandy Hook, July 16. 1778.
ABOUT seven in the evening the Languedoc frigate of 60 guns took us, as soon as the boat came alongside we were hurried into it without cloaths or bedding, the officer promising us all our cloaths, &c. should be safe, and that we should have them in the morning. We were carried on board the frigate and remained there about an hour, then part of us were sent on board the Languedoc, Count D'Estaing's ship, they put us down in the fore hold altogether, and about 5 in the morning ordered us up on the forecastle where an officer came and searched our pockets, shoes and stockings, &c. and took from us all our money, watches, papers, &c. they then ordered us down in the hold again where we were almost smothered, and not so much as a drink of water about three I made a motion to the officer to permit me to go on deck on a necessary occasion, which was granted, I then went on the quarter deck where I found an officer that could understand English, I desired that we might have permission to come on deck to have air, and that we might have some provision and water, the answer was we had been forgot; we were then ordered upon the poop and had some bread and drinking cheese, half a pint of wine, and half a pint of water per man; about 2 in the afternoon an officer came to me and asked for the key of the iron chest where the money was, I told him the key was on board the prize, and if he would permit me to go there I would get it; a boat was manned, and we went on board, but when I was on board he would not permit me to bring any of my cloaths with me. The next morning I saw the Admiral Count D'Estaing, I went to him and begged the favour of him to permit us to go on board the prize for our cloaths, which was granted for four of us to go, and was immediately done, but when we came on board the prize, found our cloaths and bedding all gone, what chests were left were all empty, and we returned as we came; we then made out a petition and I presented it to the Count, setting forth our distress, he then gave me an order to go on board the frigate and have her searched for our cloaths, I went on board and the Captain ordered one of his officers to go down and search for them, but all to no purpose.
August 2, about Noon, we landed on Point Judith, 24 in number; at four in the afternoon began our march towards Providence, at eight, arrived at North-Kington, about nine had a little raw salt
pepper and acted served us, that being the first victuals we had tasted that day; the ground that night our bed and the clouds our covering.
August 3, at seven in the morning we began our march, at eleven arrived at a town called Greenwich, we halted four hours, it being very hot, but nothing to be got to eat, about three in the afternoon we moved forward, at nine arrived at Providence, and were put into the market-house for that night. We had walked 30 miles that day but had nothing to eat. At six in the morning we were turned out and carried through the street into a yard to be viewed and marked; at nine they sent us down to the river near the bridge, and there embarked in boats, and went on board a ship called the Aurora, at Fox's Point, where we were confined all together, in number 225; about 4 in the evening we had some beef and bread given us, having been about 45 hours without victuals or drink, except water, and when we complained, they comforted us, with saying, we were not used to it—over that, we lived middling well for three weeks, and then put to one quarter allowance for 12 days, and after that to half allowance for 16 days.
We petitioned Gen. Sullivan, telling him, we were nearly starving for want, he then ordered us full allowance. We got away from them presently afterwards, and are now happily arrived in a land of plenty."
NOVEMBER 3.
Monday last was sent in here by the Jersey's ship Ariel, James M'Keezie, Esq. commander, the privateer brig New Broom, of 16 guns, 4 and 6 pounders, Captain Bishop. She had been the month from New-London, and had only taken one prize, that a vessel from Jamaica: Adkins, master, which was afterwards retaken; and carried into Halifax. The New Broom was returning to New-London, when she fell in with the Ariel.
Last Tuesday afternoon three men in a small Schooner with 4 swivel-guns, and one cannon, was attacked by two whale-boats, with about ten men in each, at a place on the south end of Long-Island, called the Fire-Place. The boats went up with a full resolution to board the Schooner, and when within about 20 yards, they received such a dose from the cannon as obliged them to drop off, when most of their guns were found to drop by the peeples on shore, as several were spectators of the action, which was well fought on both sides; but the boats, after having shot at their men killed and several wounded, were obliged to return to the shore.
Capt. Barclay informs, that a tender belonging to the Bellona, Capt. Buchannan (another of Goodrich's privateers) having parted company with the Bellona in a gale
of wind; she ran up for Hampton Roads in Virginia, and there found the Bellona much moderated, at which time the Bellona was in the road for her. The Bellona's intelligence of Captain M'Neil (master of the Bellona's tender) stated, that out the Barque in two privateers, each having forty men. They came up with M'Neil off Cape Henry, when M'Neil, with his small crew of 16 men, made a most valiant resistance, in which he had every man killed and wounded; nor did he stop his ship in colours till boarded by the British, and on the last (the' alone) made resistance, till then and sent to Williamburg, where he now remains a prisoner, but treated as all brave men should be, with great tenderness.
By Capt. Wedham, who arrived here last Friday from Providence, we have an account that a French vessel had been lately at Turk's-Island, destroyed the Salt-Ponds at that place, and drove away all the salters; and that Governor Seymour had gone down to Jamaica with an army.
The Excellency WILLIAM FRANKLIN, Esq.; arrived here last night, from Connecticut, where he has been a prisoner more than two years.
We hear Orders are come to Gen. Heath to march the Convention Troops from Ral-land to Virginia.
L O N D O N, Aug. 2.
Sunday Evening the Rev. Rowland Hill opened his Summer Campaign against the Powers of Darkness, in a Field near the White Conduit House, and though he did not gain a complete Victory, he undoubtedly acquired some Advantage over the Enemy, as the Waiters at all the neighbouring Tea-gardens exclaimed loudly against him for robbing them of their Customers.
The Motto on the French Cannon is Ultima Ratio Regum . That on the Cannon cast during the Protectorship of Cromwell was, "Open thou our Mouths, O Lord, and we will show forth thy Praise."
The Learning of a Justice.—It is but a few Years since the Clerk of a Magistrate reading the Title of an Act of Parliament, said What Domain! The wife Magistrate, thinking he had got into Queen Anne's Reign, said, "No no, you Blockhead, you know it is George—a Domain now."
Orders were sent from the last Board of Ordnance held at Westminster to the Ordnance at Woolwich to prepare with all Expedition a large Quantity of Ordnance Stores, for the Cities, Berwick, Carlisle, &c. for the Use and Security of those Places.
Lord North is certainly still in the King's best Graces; He is daily at Windsor while his Majesty resides there; and the King has been often seen in the Park with him, holding him by the Arm in the most friendly intercourse.

Copy of a letter from the French King to Count d'Orvilliers, dated Versailles Aug. 1.
"I have received, Sir, with the greatest joy, the news of the combat which you have sustained against the English fleet; and am exceedingly pleased to find that by your prudent conduct and excellent manœuvres, you have justified the choice I have made of your abilities. I desire you will let the officers, and all your seamen in general know, that their gallant behaviour has met with my full approbation. I sincerely feel for the wound of Mr. Duchaffault, but I hope that will have no dangerous consequence, and that he will soon be able to prosecute his good services. I have given strict orders that every proper care should be taken of the wounded; and I desire you to assure the widows, as well as the relations of the deceased, that I am extremely grieved for their loss.
"Mr. de Sartine shall impart you my further orders, and I have every reason to believe they will be executed with success.
(Signed) LOUIS.
They write from Versailles, that his Most Christian Majesty had promoted two of the Captains of the Brest fleet that behaved so gallantly in the engagement with the English squadron to the rank of Chef d'Escadre; and that a sum of money was also ordered to be distributed among the wounded seamen.
Letters from Cadiz bring advice that two Spanish frigates having met near the river Mississippi, about 800 leagues from New Orleans, two American privateers in the utmost danger of being obliged to strike to some English frigates who were chasing them, the Spaniards lent them the necessary assistance, and took the privateers under their protection. The English notwithstanding continued the chase, and the Spaniards intervened, a warm engagement ensued, in which the Spanish frigates were disabled and obliged to retire for shelter into a neighbouring bay, but the privateers were taken.
On Tuesday an express arrived from Ireland, with an account that a French homeward bound East-Indiaman, very deeply laden is taken by one of his Majesty's frigates, and carried into the Cove of Cork.
St. James's, August 21. His Majesty was this day pleased to order, that the Parliament, which stands prorogued to Tuesday the first day of September next, be further prorogued to Tuesday the first day of October following.

B E R L I N, August 6.
IN the evening before last, a courier arrived here with the agreeable news, that Lieut. Gen. Belling, who commands the van guard of Prince Henry's army, had occupied on the 2d of this month the town of Gabel in Bohemia, and cut off the retreat of four Austrian battalions, of whom at the departure of the courier, 700 then were made prisoners. The remainder of these battalions being blocked up in a wood, will meet with the same fate. The number of prisoners made in the different skirmishes up to the second inst. is 17 officers and 1000 soldiers. Our trophies consist of two flags and some pieces of cannon.
Aug. 11. On the 7th instant, the headquarters of his Royal Highness Prince Henry of Prussia, were at Schwoicke. Lieut. General Mœlendoorff, was the same day at Languehau, Lieut. Gen. Belling at Wartemberg, and Col. Uedom near Gœbern. The Austrians have evacuated Tetschen, Tœplitz, Aussig, and Leitmeritz.

Extracts from Rebel Papers.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19. Extract of a Letter from General Count Puilski, to the President of Congress, dated October 16, 1778.
SIR, "For fear that my letter concerning my engagement should miscarry or be delayed, and having other particulars to mention, I thought proper to send you this letter.
"You must know that one Juliet, an officer lately deserted from the enemy, went off to them two days ago with three men whom he debauched, and two others, whom they forced with them. The enemy, excited without doubt by this Juliet, attacked us the 15th inst. at three o'clock in the morning, with 4000 men. They seemed at first to attack our pickets of infantry with fury, who lost a few men in retreating: Then the enemy advanced to our infantry. The Lieut. Col. Baron de Bose, who headed his men, and fought vigorously, was killed with several bayonet wounds, as well as the Lieut. de Borderie, and a small number of soldiers and others were wounded. This slaughter would not have ceased so soon, if on the first alarm I had not hastened with my cavalry to support the infantry, which then kept a good countenance: The enemy soon fled in great disorder, and left behind them a great quantity of arms, accoutrements, hats, blaces, &c.
"We took some prisoners, and should have taken many, had it not been for a
swamp, through which our horses could scarcely walk. Notwithstanding this, we still advanced, in hopes to come up with them; but they had taken up the planks of a bridge for fear of being overtaken, which accordingly saved them; however my light infantry, and particularly the company of rifle men, got over the remains of the plank and fired some volleys on their rear. The fire began again on both sides. We had the advantage, and made them run again, altho' they were more in number.
"I would not permit my hunters to pursue any further, because I could not assist them, and they returned again to our lines without any loss at that time.
"Our loss is estimated, dead, wounded and absent, about 25 or 30 men, and some horses. That of the enemy appears to be much more considerable. We had cut off the retreat of about 25 men, who retired into the country and the woods, and we cannot find them; the general opinion is, that they are concealed by the Tories in the neighbourhood of this encampment."

P R O V I D E N C E, November 7.
Capt. Donnison, in the privateer Hercules of this port, arrived from a cruise on Thursday last, during which he retook a new ship of 80 tons, laded with tobacco, bread and flour, and ordered her for Philadelphia, where she is doubtless safe arrived, as he convoyed her within the Capes. The ship was from Baltimore, bound to the West-Indies, and had been taken five days before Capt. Donnison fell in with her, by Stanton Hazard, in a piratical brig belonging to our worthy friends the Tories at Newport.
Extract of a Letter from Major Talbot to the Hon. Major-General Sullivan, dated Stonington, October 29, 1778.
"I sailed from Providence in the sloop Hawk on Sunday the 25th instant, with the troops you were pleased to put under my command, for the purpose of capturing the Pigot Galley, then lying on the east side of Rhode Island; but the wind being small, came to anchor the same evening under Rocky Island. The next day we got thro' Bristol Ferry to Mount Hope. Wednesday night, at 10 o'clock made sail, and went through Howland's Ferry. When we had got as far as Fogland Ferry, hauled down all sail, and drifted through under bare poles, to prevent any firing from the enemy's battery on Rhode Island, which might have alarmed the gally. We passed the battery undiscovered, and at half past one in the morning we were within a small distance of the Pigot. We were immediately hailed, and the marines on her quarter fired upon us. We returned our fire, till we had ran our jib-boom through her fore-thwarts, then threw in a volley of small arms, loaded with musquet and buck shot. The seamen on deck soon ran below, calling for quarter, and those below never ventured on deck; my men immediately ran out upon the jib-boom, from which they boarded, and cried her without the loss of a man. We soon after came to sail, and arrived the same day in this harbour. The Pigot mounts 8 twelve-pounders, and had 45 men on board; her nettings were eight feet above our gunwale. The Captain behaved with great resolution, and defended the sides of his vessel in his shirt and drawers for some time, without a single man to assist him. My men all behaved well. Lieut. Helme, of Col. Topham's regiment, behaved with the greatest spirit, and was the first man that boarded the Pigot."
The Prisoners taken in the Pigot Galley were conducted here on Monday last, and sent on board the Prison Ship in the River.

On Thursday, last week, Maj. General Gates arrived at Boston, to take upon him the command of the Eastern department.
Capt. Moran, in the Private Schooner Weasel, of Warren, in this State, took on Tuesday last, a Brig of 140 Ton, with Wood and Provisions, bound from New York to Newport, and carried her into a safe Port.
B O S T O N, November 12.
In the violent storm of last week, the wind being at N. E. though variable, the British fleet under the command of Admiral Byron, consisting of sixteen sail of the line, were cruising near Cape Cod; and on Monday, the 10th inst. of 64 guns, Capt. Oney, was cast ashore near the Race, at the head of the Cape. The ship is entirely lost, and 60 or 70 of the hands were drowned: The Captain, officers, and the remainder of the men, surrendered themselves prisoners of war to the United States. There were about 490 hands on board when the ship went ashore. She was in company with 5 other ships about 11 o'clock the same day. The prisoners are expected in town this day.
In the above storm a Schooner from New York bound to Halifax, laden with salt and dry goods, was cast away on the back of Cape Cod.
Monday, Tuesday and yesterday, the first, second and third divisions of German convention troops, marched from Cambridge, for the southward.
The same days, the first, second, and third divisions of British convention troops, were to take the same route, from Rutland.
By the CONGRESS of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
M A N I F E S T O.
THESE United States, having been driven to hostilities by the oppressive and tyrannous measures of Great Britain; having been compelled to commit the essential rights of men to the decision of arms; and having been at length forced to shake off a yoke which had grown too burthensome to bear, they declared themselves FREE and INDEPENDENT.
Confiding in the justice of their cause; confiding in Him who disposes of Human events, although weak and unprovided, they set the power of their enemies at defiance.
In this confidence they have continued, through the various fortunes of three bloody campaigns, unawed by their power, un-subdued by the barbarity of their foes. Their virtuous citizens, have borne, without repining, the loss of many things which make life desirable. Their brave troops, have patiently endured the hardships and dangers of a situation, fruitful in both beyond former example.
The Congress, considering themselves bound to love their enemies, as children of that Being who is equally the father of all; and desirous, since they could not prevent, at least to alleviate the calamities of war, have studied to spare those who were in arms against them, and to lighten the chains of captivity.
The conduct of those serving under the King of Great Britain hath, with some few exceptions, been diametrically opposite. They have laid waste the open country, burned the defenceless villages, and butchered the citizens of America. Their prisons have been the slaughter-houses of her soldiers, their ships of her seamen, and the severest injuries have been aggravated by the grossest insult.
Foiled in their vain attempt to subjugate the unconquerable spirit of freedom, they have meanly assailed the representatives of America with bribes, with deceit, and the servility of adulation. They have made a mock of religion, by impious appeals to God, whilst in the violation of his sacred
commands: They have made a mock even of reason itself, by endeavoring to prove, that the liberty and happiness of America could safely be entrusted to those who have sold their own, unawed by the sense of virtue or of shame.
Treated with the contempt which such conduct deserved, they have applied to individual: They have solicited them to break the bonds of allegiance, and imbue their souls with the blackest of crimes: But fearing that none could be found through these United States, equal to the wickedness of their purpose, to influence weak minds, they have threatened more wide devastation.
While the shadow of hope remained, that our enemies could be taught by our example to reflect those laws which are held sacred among civilized nations, and to comply with the dictates of a religion which they pretend in common with us to believe and to revere, they have been left to the influence of that religion, and that example. But since their incorrigible dispositions cannot be touched by kindness and compassion, it becomes our duty by other means to vindicate the rights of humanity.
We therefore, the Congress of the United States of America, DO solemnly declare and proclaim, That if our enemies presume to execute their threats, or persist in their present career of barbarity, we will take such exemplary vengeance as shall deter others from a like conduct. We appeal to that God who searcheth the hearts of men for the rectitude of our intentions. And in his holy presence we declare, That as we are not moved by any light and hasty suggestions of anger or revenge, so through every possible change of fortune we will adhere to this determination.
DONE in CONGRESS, by unanimous consent, the thirtieth day of October, One Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy eight.
HENRY LAURENS, President. Attest, CHARLES THOMSON, Sec'y.
It is really, laughable to behold that zeal for the honor of God, which so immanently discovers itself in this immaculate assembly of lawyers, bankrupts, &c. &c. &c. Every impartial Person must suppose, that early in the debate on this important business, the words impiety, profaneness, murder, sacrilege, &c. had been repeated till their magic power had roused the latent sparks of virtue in the breasts of these champions of religion: And indeed, in one part of their manifesto they seem to have learnt, that to "solicit individuals to break their allegi- "ance and imbue their hands in blood, "were crimes of the blackest dye." Happy would it have been for this now unhappy country had they learnt before this important truth, and still happy might it be, had the gleam of light which burst into this Assembly, continued its heavenly influence and taught them further, that to persist in such enormities would make the blackest crimes still blacker.
NEWPORT, November 19.
Last Friday arrived here his Majesty's Ship Cornwall, and the next morning arrived here Admiral Byron, in the Princess Royal, and ten other Ships of his Squadron; having been obliged to leave Boston Bay in consequence of the late violent Storms and Gales of Wind. The French Fleet left Boston last Wednesday Se'night, immediately after the Storms, and by that Means escaped the British Fleet. The Brig Polly, B. Swain, Master, which came out from Boston with Count d'Estaing, bound to Surinam, parted in the Night from the French Fleet, and next Morning was taken
by the Diamond Frigate, Captain Fielding, which he burnt, after taking the People out.
The Diamond has since been at New York, where we hear two or three Ships which were with Admiral Byron in Boston Bay have got in, considerably damaged in their Rigging by the Storms.
As the Diligent Brig, which arrived here Yesterday, was coming through the Sound, she was attacked by several Boats; who were properly saluted, as soon as they came within Reach of her Guns.
It is said, that the French Fleet sailed from Boston, with near 40 Sail of Vessels, for different Parts of the West Indies.
