That they had alfo replanted the Cannon at the Grand and Light-Houfe Batteries, and from whence they had difmafted all the Ships in the Har- ‘bour, which will effetually prevent their running away, as they have heretofore prov’d nimble heel’d Gentlemen, going fometimes three Fect to our one.

PHILADELPHIA, June zg. Extral of a Letter from Antigua, June 1. «'Nothing very inaterial has happened here lately, unlefs the Infolence of the Dutch at St. Euftatiamay be thought to be fo. They have feized one of our Privateers, and take both the Perfons and Effeéts of all they can lzy hold of that have been Owners of private Ships of War, The Diligerice of our Men of War has indeed cleared our Shores of French Pri- vateers ; but they ftill cruize in great Number 20 or 30 Leagues to Windward, and make too many Prizes. Bpen 2t In a Letter from Barbados, dated 23d ult. it is faid, that the French had taken about 3o of our Veflels in 2 Month's Time befare that Date, On Friday laft came up here, two French Dutch Prizes, a Sloop and Schooner, taken by Capt. Turner, in the Privateer Knowles of this Place, and Captain Hopkins, in a Privateer of Rhode-Ifland ; the Sloop is from St. Euftatia for Hifpaniola, laden with Pro- vificns and Bale Goods ; the Schooner for Coracoa from Port Dauphin, ia Hifpaniola, with Indico, Su- gar and Coffee. % : We hear from Fort Henry in Berks County, that on Monday the 1gth Inftant, one Jacob Snabely was kill'd and fcalp'd by the Indians, about 5 Miles be- low that Fort, and that the Wife of John Frantz with ‘three of their Children, were taken and carried off by them ; but the Weman was foon found killed and fcalped, fhe being too weakly to follow them their own Pace. A Sucking Child was found in Frantz's Houfe by thofe who purfued them. That ‘on the Wednefday following one Samuel Robefon, ‘was killed and fecalp’d near Swataro in° Lancafter ‘County, whereupon a Serjeant and 15 Men going out after them, as foon as they came upon the In- dians Tracks, the Serjeant addréfs’d himfelf to the Men in order to anithate them' to a brifk Purfuit and vigorous Attack, and while he was fpeaking to them, a Number of Indians, lying in Ambufh, fired upon them, killed one outright, and wounded 8 of them, whereof three dy'd in a few Hours, and two or three more, it was fear'd would die of theirWounds ; the Wounded made their Efcape while the Enemy was following the other Six. . We have Advice from Swetara, in Lancafter County, that on Tuefday the zoth Inftant, a Dutch- man was fhot and fcalped by the Indians ; and the next Day one Samuel Robinfon was alfo fhot by them, but got into a Houfe,where he died foon after. We have alfo heard of fome other Mifchief being done in the fame Townfhip, the Particulars of which are not yet come to Hand. = From Northampton County we hear, that on Wednefday the 14th Inftant, two Men in a Field were fired at by the Enemy,one of which was woun- ded ; that they took to the River, when the well Man efcaped by {wimming, but the wounded One was tomahawked in the River : That the fame Day {>me People were fired on in another Field, and two Men killed ; and a white Boy, about foum teen Years of Age, firing his Piece, wounded one of the Indians, and charged again, but finding his Companions had left him, made the beft of his Way off. We hear from the Camp at Fort Littleton, about 15 Miles this Side the Alleganey-Mountains, that Col. Bouquet, who commands in Chief there, and whofe Condu renders him the Delight of the Ar- my, had got there about the 18th Inftant about 1¢00 Men, and that Col. Wathington was daily expeéted there with 1400 Virginians ; and that every Thing went on {moothly and promifed well, that 150 Che- rokees were at the Camp. NEW-PORT, Rhode lfland, Fune z6. From Providence we learn, That the Perfon who was Mafter of the Privateer Sloop lately taken by Capt. Angel of that Place (and mentioned in the Papers) proves to be the fame who' was fecond Lieutenant of the LeAmerique Privateer, who en- gaged the Jamaica Packet ; the Captain whereof, making a brave Refiftance, had his Ears and Nofe cut off, asfoon astaken, and he and his People treated in a moft cruel and barbarous manner. He is now in clofe Confinement in Providence Goal, by order of his Honour the Governor ; and tis hop'd the Villain will meet with a deferved Panifhment. The chief Command devolved on him, the Captain of the Privateer being kill'd, and the firt Lieatenant being fent away before the Engagement. St. FO HN's, in Antigua, March 27.
