Extracts from the Leyden Gazette, April 21. BORDEAUX, April 4, 1778.
THE day before yesterday arrived here the Boston, an American frigate, of 30 guns, on board of which came Mr. ADAMS, one of the Members of Congress. He was received as one of the most distinguished houses of this city, where Mr. Asfieur, the Premier President, and Monsieur the Intendant, were invited; the ordering Commissary Mr. de Corlie, Lieutenant of the forementioned vessel, and many of our chief merchants, made up the rest of the invited guests. They drank the King of France divers of the members of Congress, the Thirteen United States, friendship and concord between the two united Nations, Mr. Adams and his Lady, Monsieur de Sartine, the Marquis de Fayette, and the city of Bordeaux; each of which was accompanied by a discharge of cannon. The feast was followed by an illumination, in the midst of which was exhibited, this sentence in English, "Long live the Congress Liberty and Adams." The next day, he dined on board the American frigate, and on the morning following he set out for Paris.
Leyden, April 27. We said in our Gazette of this day, that the report of a treaty of accommodation in America, did not deserve one moment's attention; — the idea is now confirmed by two resolutions of Congress, the copies of which are come to hand.
In CONGRESS, November 22d, 1777. The Congress having been informed, that the enemies of the United States of America have used their utmost endeavours to spread through Europe, false and groundless reports of a treaty being on foot between the Congress and the Commissioners of the King of Great Britain "the probable effect of which will be a reconciliation;" be it therefore resolved and declared, "That the Commissioners of the said States, in the different courts of Europe, be authorized to assure the respective courts were they reside, "That no treaty whatsoever has been negotiated between the King of Great Britain, or any of his commissioners, and the United States, since the declaration of Independence."
(Signed) HENRY LAURENS, President. (Attest.) CHARLES THOMPSON, Sec'y.
In CONGRESS, November 22 1777. Resolved. That every proposition of a treaty between the King of Great Britain, or any of his Commissioners, and the United States of America, incompatible with the Independency of the said States, or with any treaty or alliance, which may be concluded under their authority, shall be rejected by Congress.
(Signed) HENRY LAURENS, President. (Attest) CHARLES THOMPSON, Secretary.
POUGHKEEPSIE, Octo. 19.
We are informed by a gentleman lately come that on Thursday last, he, with a party was within 4 miles of the enemy at Powles Hook opposite to New York, where the last (that had been in New Jersey) were then embarking, but whether for New York or to go on board their ships, he could not learn; that the other part of them had crossed the river at Fort Lee opposite to Fort Washington. That wherever they were, they stripped the inhabitants, Tories as well as Whigs, of all their horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, fowls, grain and every article of forage, except in three houses in the English neighbourhood, the quarters of officers, where the grain was not taken away.
The gentleman who brought the above

Intelligence from Powles-Hook saw on the way a British Soldier, who on account of their cruelty, had deserted from the murderous party that lately surprised and massacred the hapless Col. Baylor and his followers who it is said, were bayoneted, when they were quite naked from bed, and seeing their merciless enemies furiously approaching them with six bayonets instinctively turned their sides, into which the bayonets were immediately plunged.
We are informed that on Monday last a small party of Tories and Indians, some of the settlements on the Menisick, near Major Dacker's, where, in the distance of 10 miles they killed 6 or seven people and burned about 3 houses, barns included, barracks &c.
The same day we hear, one of our parties not far from Bedford surrounded and took a picket guard of the enemy consisting of fifteen three of whom were light horse, these last they took and brought off, but the other 12, Hessians, refusing to march, were bayoneted on the spot.
WILLIAMSBURG, October 2.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Germany, to his friend in this city, dat.
June 24, 1778.
"Every moment we expect a most dreadful war in this country, between the Emperor and the King of Prussia, which, if once commenced, will be bloody indeed. They have each armies, well appointed, of above two hundred thousand men, and have been, for some months in the neighbourhood of each other, on the confines of Bohemia and Silesia. France and Great-Britain are also on the point of measuring swords, or rather trying their naval powers; one with a strong fleet of 21 large ships at Portsmouth, and 12 or 14 at Plymouth, ready for action, and the other with upwards of 30 large ships at Brest, ready for sea, at a moment's warning, and much better provided than the English, besides several more ships at the different ports, and above 60,000 troops, commanded by their ablest General Marshal Broglin, on the coast opposite England both together making about 35 or 40,000 men, are at the different parts of the English coast; so that the Eyes of all Europe are gazing to see where the mighty storm will burst."
PHILADELPHIA, October 20.
Extract of a letter from General Count Pułaski, 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 3 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 by several bayonet wounds, as well as the Lieut. de la 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 arms, accoutrements, hats, blades, &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 par-
ticularly 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 returned to our line 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."
In Congress, October 17, 1778.
Ordered to be published,
HENRY LAURENS, President.
Extract of a letter from Springfield, New-Jersey, to a gentleman in this city, (received yesterday) dated October 17, 1778, in the evening.
"By this express I have the pleasure to inform you, that the enemy are leaving New York. We have known, for some days that several transports were ready.—It was said 250 sail of transports, besides store ships, and that they were ordered to carry a man to a ton and a half. Part of the greens were on board some days ago. Poor dogs were drove by the bayonet! This was treating them in character."
T R E N T O N, October 21.
Tuesday se'nnight the enemy left Hackinsack, after having plundered thereabouts of most of the forage, a number of cattle, robbed hen roosts, and committed many acts of barbarity on the defenceless inhabitants. Several Tory families, we hear, went off with them.
We hear that on Monday last about 100 sail of transports with troops on board, under convoy of several men of war, sailed from the Hook, supposed for the West Indies.
From RIVINGTON'S lying Gazette.
NEW YORK, September 29.
INTELLIGENCE EXTRAORDINARY.
We are credibly informed that the French vessel lately taken, brought dispatches of great importance to Count D'Estaing, and that the first article of the instructions therein contained was, to proclaim Lewis XVI in every province in America and to take immediate possession of New England, as a security or the debt already incurred. In the second article the Count is ordered to make every member of Congress swear allegiance to his most Christian Majesty, or in case of refusal, to confine them in the New Bastille at Philadelphia. This vessel besides dispatches, brought a considerable cargo consisting of the following articles viz.
50,000 Mass Books, 200 Racks and Wheels, 3,000,000, Consecrated Wafers, 15,000 Crucifixes, 70,000 Rosaries, 200,000 Wooden Shoes, five chests of Paint for the Ladies Faces, 10,000 Pills for the cure of the French disease.
We also learn that the Passengers on board were all priests, in the disguise of hair-dressers, tooth-drawers, fiddlers, and dancing-masters. By letters brought by the same ship, we are likewise informed, that Dr. Franklin has abjured the protestant religion, and that he is decorated with the order of the Holy Cross of Jerusalem.
B O S T O N, November 5, 1778.
A letter from an officer at Fredrickburgh, dated Octo. 28, says, "I wrote you a few days ago, that a large detachment, consisting of between 7 and 8000 men, had embarked and sailed from New York:— Since which we have had advice, that they did not sail at that time, though they have since:— by all accounts they are bound for the West Indies or Europe. The enemy in New-York are preparing for another embarkation;— if it takes place, it may fairly be concluded they
intend to evacuate the Continent."
It is said that a large prize ship, laden with rum, sugar, &c. captured by the Paris and Montgomery privateers, has arrived safe at the Eastward.— Since our last a number of French prisoners, from New-York, have arrived in town.
Tuesday arrived a prize, laden with provisions, which was bound to Halifax.
A gentleman who came out of New-York about 10 days since, informs, That the 2d division of the enemy's fleet, consisting of about 50 sail of men of war and transports, with troops on board, had sailed from that port before he came away, their destination unknown, and that a third was making up.
Authority has thought fit to appoint Thursday, the 24th inst. to be observed as a day of public Thanksgiving and Praise, throughout this State.
Extract of a letter from Nantz, dat. July 25.
"The price of American produce has rather fallen lately—owing to the uncertainty of Congress ratifying the Treaty with this Country; but since the confirmation of that event, and the commencement of hostilities against England, the price begins to rise."
