THE following is a remarkable instance of the danger of allowing circumstantial evidence alone to be competent to the proof of a criminal offence:—A man was tried for, and convicted of the murder of his own FATHER. The evidence against him was merely circumstantial, and the principal evidence was his sister. She proved that her father possessed a small income, which, with his industry, enabled him to live with comfort. That her brother, the prisoner, who was his heir at law, had long expressed a great desire to come into the possession of his father's effects; and that he had long behaved in a very un dutiful manner to him, wishing as the witness believed to put a period to his existence, by uneasiness & vexation. That the evening the murder was committed, the deceased went a small distance from the house to milk a cow he had sometime kept, and that the witness also went to spend the evening and to sleep, leaving only her brother in the house. That returning home early in the morning, and finding that her father and brother were absent, she was much alarmed and sent for some neighbours to consult with them, and to receive advice what should be done. That in company with these neighbours she went to the hovel in which her father was accustomed to milk the cow, where they found him murdered in an inhuman manner, his head being almost beat to pieces; that a suspicion immediately falling on her brother, and there being then some snow upon the ground, in which the foot steps of a human being to and from the hovel were observed, it was agreed to take one of the brother's shoes, and to measure therewith the impressions in the snow; this was done, and there did not remain a doubt but that the impressions were made with his shoes. Thus confirmed in their suspicions, they then immediately went to the prisoner's room, and after a diligent search, they found a hammer in the corner of a private drawer, with several spots of blood upon it, and with a small splinter of bone, and some brains in a crack, which they discovered in the handle. The circumstances of finding the deceased, and the hammer as described by the former witness, were fully proved by the neighbours whom she had called; and upon this evidence the prisoner was convicted and suffered death, but denied the fact to the last:—About four years after, the witness was extremely ill, and understanding that there was no possible hope of her recovery, she confessed that her father and brother having offended her, she was determined they should both die; and accordingly, when the former went to milk the cow, she followed him with her brother's hammer, and then laid it where it was afterwards found;
that she then went from home to give a better colour to this wicked business, and that her brother was perfectly innocent of the crime for which he had suffered. She was immediately taken into custody, but died before she could be brought to trial.
L O N D O N, August 9. Extract of a letter from Algeciras, July 7.
"Activity seemed to be a stranger in our camp before Gibraltar, till the Duke de Crillon assumed the command: Since that period the whole camp is daily in motion; the General is on horse back at 6 in the morning, and passes his time between the workmen, and the troops under arms, directing the former and exercising the latter in those evolutions which he foresees may be necessary in forming the grand attack, for which he cannot be ready, after all his care, before the 20th of August. The oldest soldier in the world never beheld such an immense train of artillery at any siege, as we have there; there are, at present, three batteries in forwardness, of 9 guns each, 54 pounders, for battering one particular part of the fortress, the fire to be angular, and to prevent the besieged from having a spot to stand on in safety in that quarter: There are vast ovens also for heating balls, which are to be sent red hot into the garrison, in hopes of setting fire to the powder brought out of the magazines for the supply of the different batteries of the besieged. It is the intention of our General, as soon as every thing is ready, for commencing the most dreadful fire that ever was directed against any fortress, to send a flag to Governor Elliot, to offer him the most honorable terms, if he will surrender the place; but it is not expected that the English Commander will listen to any terms, till he is reduced to the last extremity; his past conduct makes us look for a desperate resistance on his part; and we are all ready to do him the justice to think, that when he does surrender, it will be after having made the most gallant defence.
"The Duke, though he expects a refusal to his summons, is nevertheless determined to send it, that he may not be answerable for the carnage that must ensue, if Gibraltar should be stormed.—Strong as the fortress is at present, there is a moral certainty that it must fall, though the garrison should be even twice as numerous as it is; it is impossible that any garrison could long bear the fatigue consequent upon an incessant firing day & night from some hundreds of cannon and mortars, we therefore look for the fall of Gibraltar, not more from the execution of our artillery, than from the state of exhaustion into which the garrison must be thrown by continual watchings, and endless labours in endeavouring to restore their demolished works. So certain are we of success, that the government of Gibraltar is
already promised to the Duke of Medina Sodonia. The old idea of undermining the rock and blowing it up, is renounced as impracticable."
The instrument, with which the Duke de Crillon made such dreadful havock, lately at Gibraltar, killing two hundred men there at one stroke, and totally demolishing the Bastions of Queen Anne and the Princess Amelia, &c. is called a Cominge . It is a kind of mortar and no new invention, having been known so long since as the reign of the Emperor Charles the 5th, but on account of the time it took in pointing and loading, and the danger attending it to those who perform'd this office, was then laid aside.
There are at this time between two and three hundred pieces of artillery, including mortars, in the Spanish camp before Gibraltar.
There is no secure shelter from their gun boats which annoy the garrison of Gibraltar; nor can the batteries play upon them with any certainty. It is a mere waste of ammunition to endeavour to fire upon them. Hence it is the poor soldiers are so dreadfully harassed.
Aug. 10. The attention of all Europe is now turned with infinite apprehension and solicitude to the fate of Gibraltar. On this theatre the greatest exploits are shortly expected to take place. The fame acquired by the Duke de Crillon in his siege of Minorca, on the one hand, and the tried and determined bravery of General Elliot, on the other, must produce a contest, in which every stratagem and manœuvre in the art of war will undoubtedly be exerted on both sides. The vast armament from sea, will also not a little augment the prodigious spectacle on land; and more courage and skill are not expected, either from the English or Spanish army under their respective able Commanders, than from the British fleet, led on to victory or death by the gallant Howe. On that bloody and important day, whenever it shall happen, may the God of battles take charge of the fate and honor of England!

L O N D O N.
July 15. Dispatches were yesterday received, brought by the Antelope packet, at the office of the Southern Secretary, from Gen. Sir Guy Carleton, at New York. They bring the important information that he had received a decisive reply from Congress, upon the subject of the proposals which had been submitted to them from this country; the purport of which is as follows: that they absolutely refuse to treat with this country, even upon the acknowledgment of their independence as the basis of it; that they consider independence as a blessing already in their own possession; that they will not therefore submit to receive it from any quarter as a boon; that they can at this time enter into no treaty with Great Britain, in which France is not concerned; and that every application for a future negotiation must be conveyed through their medium.
The above dispatches operate as complete demonstration, that the distinction which took place in the cabinet between Mr. Fox and his insidious colleagues, was by no means a shade, as it was humourously represented; for, had the opinion of the late Secretary been adopted, all hostilities must have ceased at once with America; whereas from the weak principle of making independence only the foundation of a treaty, a concession which it appears the Americans totally reject, the one or the other of these effects must follow, that we must permit them to assume to themselves what we could not give, and to preclude the possibility of friendship with them, or make our way into their amity and good graces, through the disgraceful medium of France, our old and natural enemy.
Aug. 9. Don Galvez has destroyed Rattan, and all the British settlements in Honduras and throughout the Spanish main, by the maintenance of which Britain had a prospect of drawing the most important commercial advantages from that quarter. An account of the services of Don Galvez, published by the Court of Madrid, contains 20 pages.
According to many letters in town, which have lately been received from Warsaw, all the powers of the North are arming with extraordinary activity. The Empress has been laying up magazines for some months past, and has already raised 10 000 recruits in addition to her peace establishment. The Emperor, jealous of this hostile appearance, is increasing his forces in all parts of his dominions; while the King of Prussia has order'd every regiment in his service to be compleated, and is making every possible provision for a war. What part these different powers intend to take is not so easy to determine: but this we are well informed of, that it is generally understood, both in France and Holland, that the Emperor will side with the House of Bourbon, in opposition to Old Frederick & her Imperial Majesty.
It is decided, that the Dukes of Richmond and Grafton, and Lord Keppel, are to resign their employments before the next meeting of Parliament.
H A G U E, August 18.
Their High Mightinesses have appointed Mr. Berard Branton, Burgomaster of the town of Arnhem, and deputy in the States General, from the province of Guelders, to go to France as Plenipotentiary of this Republic, to act in concert with our Ambassador, Mr. Lestevon de Berkenrode, in the work of a peace.
PHILADELPHIA, October 5. By the United States in Congress assembled, October 4, 1782.
WHEREAS by the articles of confederation and perpetual union, the sole and exclusive right of making peace is vested in the United States in Congress assembled; and by the treaty of alliance between His Most Christian Majesty and those United States, it is declared that neither of the contracting parties shall conclude peace or truce with Great Britain without the consent of the other; and the Ministers Plenipotentiary of these United States in Europe are vested with full power and authority, in their behalf, and in concert with their allies, to negotiate and conclude a general peace: nevertheless it appears that the British court still flatters itself with the vain hope of prevailing on the United States to agree to some terms of dependance upon Great Britain, or at least to a separate peace: and there is reason to believe that Commissioners may be sent to America to offer propositions of that nature to the United States; or that secret emissaries may be employed to delude and deceive. In order to extinguish ill founded hopes, to frustrate insidious attempts, and to manifest to the whole world the purity of their intentions, and the fixed unalterable determination of the United States.
Resolved unanimously, That Congress are sincerely desirous of an honorable and permanent peace: that as the only means of obtaining it, they will inviolably adhere to the treaty of alliance with His Most Christian Majesty; and conclude neither a separate peace or truce with Great Britain: that they will prosecute the war with vigour, until by the blessing of God, on the united arms, a peace shall be happily accomplished by whom the full and absolute sovereignty and independence of these United States having been duly assured their rights and interests, as well as those of their allies, shall be effectually provided for and secured.
That Congress will not come into the discussion of any overture for pacification, but in confidence and in concert with His Most Christian Majesty.
That to guard against the secret artifices and machinations of the enemy, it be and hereby is recommended to the respective states to be vigilant and active in detecting and seizing all British emissaries & spies, that they may be bro't to condign punishment; that it be enjoined on all officers of departments charged with persons coming from the enemy under protection of flags of truce, to take special care that such persons do not abuse their privileges, but to be restrained from all intercourse with the country and inhabitants, which is not necessary for transacting the public business on which they may be sent; and lastly it is recommended to the several states, that no subjects of his Britannic Majesty, coming directly or indirectly from any part of the British dominions, be admitted into any part of the United States during the war.
Ordered, That the Hon. the Minister Plenipotentiary of France be furnished with a copy of the above act, and that copies be transmitted to the Ministers of these States at Foreign Courts, and that in the mean time it be published.

The King of Sweden has manifested, by some generous overtures to Congress, a most friendly disposition towards us, and has requested that an Ambassador from these States may be sent to his Court.
FISH KILL, October 17.
Extract of a letter from an officer on the lines.
"Sir Guy's cow thieves still continue to infest this country. A party of seven came out a few days ago, in order to steal as usual: Yesterday a party of Sheldon's dragoons fell in with and took 4 of them, one of whom they wounded; and this morning a party of the infantry of Sheldon's legion, killed one and took another of the same seven—so that but one of them escaped. Five are now confined here; two of which are wounded: They all justly merit death; but their fate is not yet known;—Their names are Van Vleck, Webb, Mills, Scovell, and one more, whose name I don't recollect, prisoners—the one who escaped was M'Fee, a very noted villain."
B O S T O N, October 24.
The following interesting intelligence, is taken from an English print of Aug. 12.
"Our readers may rest assured that Mr. Fitzherbert, the British resident at Brussels, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Grenville as the pacific negotiator at Paris. He left Brussels immediately on the appointment of Lord Temple to the Lord Lieutenancy, when Mr. Grenville was recalled; and several dispatches have past between him and the Minister since his residence in France."
Advice is received from Paris, by the way of Ostend, that one of the grandees from Spain is daily expected to arrive in that city, a hotel being taken up for him, and sitting up for his reception; and it is reported there that he is appointed Plenipotentiary, to consider of treating about peace with England, in concert with the other powers at war, and to desire that there may be a meeting held in Paris for that purpose.
The State ship Tartar, has sent into port a prize brig laden with 2700 bushels salt.
S A L E M, October 24.
The privateer ship Mahawk , Capt. Carnes, from Beverly, and the privateer ship Hendrick , Capt. Benson, from this place, are captured by the enemy and carried into New York. It is said that a brig, also from this place, has been taken and carried into the same port.
We bear that the crews of the above privateers have been forcibly dispersed on board the British men of war.

PHILADELPHIA, October 5. Extract of a letter from Major General Green, dated Ashley Hill, South Carolina, Aug. 28. The enclosed copy of a letter from Lieut. General Leslie contains an extraordinary requisition for a supply of provision, which was refused. I cannot but consider it as an evidence of the intention of the enemy to seduce and lull the people of this country, whilst they operate with vigour against its allies, and until they can seize a more favourable occasion of gaining possession of the country. They were too successful in their attempt to collect rice on Santee, having carried off near six hundred barrels, and without any loss. A second detachment is now out, and endeavouring to ravage the banks of the Combahee river. General Gist, with the light troops, is ordered to oppose them, and I hope will in some measure render their attempt unsuccessful.
(C O P Y)
Head-Quarters, 131st of August, 1782.
SIR,
THE measure which I lately adopted, of sending a force to collect provisions on the Lower Santee, for the use of this garrison, was a necessary consequence of the conduct your party had thought proper to observe, in the prohibitions which prevented our receiving supplies of that kind from the country.
From the respect I bear to the sentiments which appear to govern the present conduct of Great Britain towards America, I should have given a willing preference to any means less distressful to this country, by which this necessary purpose might have been attained: I am equally desirous to forbear the further prosecution of these measures, and am ready to enter with you into any composition to that effect, which, may, I think, be established on terms, to the mutual advantage of either party, affording to us the supply to our future necessities, and to you security from further depredation, and a voluntary compensation for what the force of arms has already given us in possession: the success which has attended this enterprise, must convince you, that principles of benevolence and humanity are the true motives of a conduct, the moderation of which must appear striking to you.
I hope these considerations will induce you to accept a proposal so evidently advantageous to the interests of your own party; and that you will in consequence, order rice and other provisions to be sent into town, in quantities proportionate to our demand, which will be considerable, from the necessity of supplying the King's subjects who may think proper to remove from hence to the province of East Florida.
If, notwithstanding these offers, you think proper to adhere to the former line of conduct, the necessity which constrains will justify the measures which I shall be forced to take.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your most obedient, and most humble Servant,
ALEXANDER LESLIE.
To Major General Greene, &c. &c. &c.
Head-Quarters, S. Carolina, Ashley Hill, August 29, 1782.
SIR,
I HAVE the honor to transmit your Excellency the report of Brigadier General Gist, relative to the operations of the troops under his command. The object of his detachment was mentioned in my dis-
patch of yesterday; and I am happy to find he was so successful as to render ineffectual the attempt of the enemy to collect provisions.
It is very unfortunate that we have to lament the loss of so valuable and distinguished an officer as Lieutenant Colonel Laurens, who was killed in the skirmish on the 27th instant: his conduct both as a citizen and as an officer, will forever secure him the grateful remembrance of his countrymen. I am, &c. N. GREENE.
His Excellency John Hanson, Esq; Light Camp, Chehaw Neck, Aug. 27.
Dear General,
THE enemy's fleet arrived and took possession of Combahee ferry, on the morning of the 25th inst. and the troops under my command took post on the north side of the river in the evening of the same day. No authentic intelligence could be obtained of the force or movements of their troops, till early the next morning, when I received information that they had landed about 300 men at Middleton's farm, on the opposite side of the river and that they had divided and cantoned them at two different plantations.
A number of militia having joined a former detachment of light troops on that side. I thought it a favourable opportunity to strike at one of their parties, and accordingly detached Major Call with the 3d regiment of dragoons, with orders to cross at the Salt Katchees, join the infantry and attack them at day break. Previous to my orders to Major Call, I had directed a work to be thrown up to annoy their shipping on their return, at Chehaw Neck, about twelve miles from the ferry; and Lieut. Col. Laurens arrived in the intermediate time and solicited the direction and command at that post: a detachment of 50 infantry, with some matrosses & a howitz were ordered down to him in the evening. The enemy, disappointed principally in the object of their expedition, re-embarked their troops about two o'clock this morning, and dropped silently down the river with the tide, undiscovered by our patrols till four o'clock, when the troops were put in motion to prevent their landing and support Col. Laurens; but before my arrival they effected a landing, and brought him to action in the field, in which that brave and gallant officer fell much regretted and lamented. The enemy took possession of the howitz, and I arrived with the cavalry just in time to cover the retreat of the infantry, who formed immediately within a quarter of a mile of the field of action. Finding the position of the enemy very unfavourable to the operations of cavalry, and the infantry being much fatigued, I thought it improper to press them to action, and they proceeded to their boats, embarked and sailed immediately.
Captain Gun, with a party, pressed upon their rear, and retook the artillery horses.
Enclosed is a list of the killed and wounded. I have the honour to be, &c. &c.
M. GIST, Brigadier General.
The Hon. Major General Greene.

Published by order of Congress. Extract from the Registers of the Council of State:
THE King having been informed that some persons abuse the facility granted by the XIVth article of the Arret of his Council, of the 27th of August 1778, concerning prize goods, by shipping under sail, or in foreign countries, goods of English manufacture, and importing them as prize goods to the nations in alliance with his Majesty. The King has judged necessary to explain his intentions. Being willing to provide against this abuse, and having heard the reports of the Sieur Joly de Fleury, Counsellor of State in ordinary, and of the Council of Finance, THE KING BEING PRESENT IN COUNCIL, has ordered, and orders, that the goods denominated in the said XIVth article of the regulation of the 27th of August, 1778, and which can only be adjudged under the condition of their being sent back to foreign countries; shall not be allowed to be shipped from the ports of this kingdom, without being accompanied by an extract of the verbal process of sale made by the admiralty or the intendant or Ordonnateur of the marine, duly certified by the Greffier, or by the Comptroller of the Farm Office, who conformably to the eighteenth article of the same Arret, shall be obliged to mention that the goods have really been taken from the entrepot or general deposit; and shipped on the vessel which they shall design. His Majesty forbids the clerks of the Adjudicataire of the farms, under the penalty of losing their office, or a greater one if necessary, to suffer any part of the goods in question; to be exported, unless the formalities have before been gone through.

Thomas Thomas of Newbury-Port, by his agent appeared before the 31st day of May, (which was the day appointed by our advertisement for the sale of delinquent's lands) and promised payment of forty three bushels of wheat, which are equivalent to twenty five pounds sixteen shillings, lawful silver money, for labour performed on a tract of land granted to Major James Gray, through which the road passes; nevertheless, be the said Capt. Thomas still neglects to pay the same.

M. at the house of Andrew M c Millan Esq; in Conway, in the county of Strafford, unless prevented by payment to said M c Millan, before the day of sale.
