SUNDAY morning last, about one o'clock
The Bomb-Brig, a Schooner, aud two or
three armed Sloops, left the harbor of New
port, and landed about 200 Marines, Sal
Tors and Negroes, at the Ferry on the East
side OF Conanicut, from whence they imme-
diately marched in three divisions to the
West Ferry, and after burning all the hous-
es near the Ferry-place, returned towards
their vessels, setting fire in almost every
house on each side the road, from the West
to the East Ferry, and several houses and
barns some distance on the North and South
sides of the road driving out the women
and children, swearing they should be burnt
in the houses, if they did not instantly turn
out. Widow Hull lost | house Joseph

houses were pIundered of beds. wearing ap-
parel, and such household furniture as could
be conveniently carried off, the rest were
consumed. Some women, we are told,
were stripped of some of their best clothes
they had on. Capt. Wallace commanded
Oh this humane expedition. A company of
Minute Men had left Conanicut the after

40 or 80 soldiers on the Island, most of
whom had been enlisted but few days, and

miserable condition for such a sudden at

There was not one Provincial either killed
or wounded, except Mr.. John Martin, who
wa. shot in the belly, standing unarmed in
his door. The above vessels took off about
30 cows, q oxen, and few sheep and Hogs,
most of which they killed before they took
them on board. They left Conanicut the
same morning and got back to Newport at
