He replied, that his hatred to the French on account gf their per- fidious behaviour on many occafions, had made him leave his family at 70 years of age, as a volanteer, in orderto be revenged on them bzfore his death ; and he hoped, on that day, he hsd not affronted himfeif, his king, or country. Gen. Townthead was fo well plealed with the magnanimity of the brave fellow, that he brought him home wich him, and preflented him to Mr. Piit; by whom he was introduced to his Majeity ; who hasbeen gracioully pleafed to give him & Lieutenant’s commiffion, with the Jiberty of fer- ving in any corps, or in any Country he chufes ; or, if he fhall incline to reiire to his family and friends, to have a Lieuts. full pay during life., When he walked along the ftreets of Londen; we are told, that the people, as he pafled, cried, There goes the brave old Highlander ; long live the gallant old bry. ——His broad {word, with which he fonobly revenged him- {elf on his country’s foes, is a moft excelient one, and has defcended, from father to fon, as a particular le- .gacy, for upwards of 300 years; and heis (o extreme- ly. h})\nd of it, that he takes it to bed with him every night. - The gentleman here mentioned is Malcom Mac- pherfon, of Phones, in Badenoch. An aétion has de- . .pended fome cime before the court of fefiion for his evi@ting his eftate from him, and he wrote from Lon- .don to his agent to take care of the:-old dowchat ; not -to let either a or———3 get the mailing ; that the fword and the mailing mult remain together, the one to defendthe other ;adding, that his promotion comes on [o faft, that he hopes to be acolonel yet, though he is now ‘near 73 years of age. P. S. Heis fince come here.”, . .. : . ~Feb. 26. Captain Taylor, of the Ramillies, lately loft, has left & lady, who had.lain in,. inconfolable : She was daughter of Mr. Vincent, furgeon of his .Majefty’s yard, at Plymouth, and phyfician of the ho!pital there. It is added, that one cf the men leaped from the forecaltle upan a rock and was faved ; the gallant commander attempting to do the like, fell dhort, and was carried away by the furges of the mercilels waves. March 8. We are informed that one of his M:jefty’s yatch’s is ordered to be in readinefs to carry over aperfon of high diftinétion to afliit at the expected congrefs, ' The earthquake that lately happened at Turkey, lafted fourteen days fucceflively without intermiffion. His Mijefty has been pleafed to allow Lord Charles Hay the liberty of riding out. We hear that the trial of Lord F—r—s will be in the fame form &s that of —— S:ourton, in the reign of Q. Elizabeth, to whom, after being found guilty, her Majefty was plealed to give him his chaice, whe- ther he would be hanged in a hempen or filken cord. March 11. His Majeity has been pleafed to appoint Porteen, Conful General at the court of Spair. We now hear that the time fixed for Lord Ferrers’s trial is the 14th of April,and that a [caffold will thortly be-erc&ed in Weftminfter-hall for that purpole. We hear that a ce:tain Gentleman near St. James’s has laid a wager of 100 guincas, that & peace will be concluded before the 1it of July, and without the confent of the Ruflian power. Three Freach Captains have been broke on the wheel at Mentz ; twelve are gondemned to five years imprifonment, and thirty three for one year only. Some letters from Paris intimate, that though their trade is ruined, and the inhabitants obliged to deliver up their plate to be coined, to enable them to carry on the war this year, they ftill have a refource left for carrying it on another, by allowing their priefts to marry ; for which great indulgence (which they fuppofe the pope will readily grant for the deftrultion and cx-irpation of hereticks) the priefts will cheaifully give one whole year’s income of their revenues. According to what has been faid in a certain avguft aflembly, we are to confent to no peace in which our allies are not included, and by which the pofleflion of all our acquifitions (except thofe in Africa) are not confirmed to us. KINGSTON, i# Jamaica, March Zo. Yefterday arrived his Majefty’s fhip Enterprize, Capt. Innis, and bro’tin a large French fhip mount- ing 18 guns, bound from Port Louis to Old France.

By Capt.

Barrington, died very fuddenly, fome days before he called there. PHILADELPHIA Myis.

By Letiers from Niagara, of the 25th of April, and from Olwego of the 24th, we have Advice that all was quiet at thefe Places ; that there was a great T'rade carried on at Niagara ; and that the Traders having difpoled of all their Goods, had come down for more, one of which returned with 9o Packs of Beaver. By Capt. Barnes from Antigua, there is advice that Capt. Jones, ina Packet from England, arrived at Guadaloupe the 13ta ult. who to windward of Barbados, was attacked and boarded by a French Pri- vateer, of 14 Guns ; but' that he bravely defended himlelf, till the Antigua hove in ‘Sight, when the Frenchman thought proper to bear away. And that a Schooner, loaded with Corn, and [everal other Vel- fels have been taken by the Enemy. BOSTON, May 26, By the Return of feveral Exprefles from Albany fince our laft, we are informed, that General Ambertft, upon receiving the' News of the French marching with 2 large Army,collected from zll Parts of Canada, to attack Quebec, ordered all the Troops, as faft as they arrived at Albany, immediately to proceed for- ward ; that on the 17th plt. nine Companies of the Provincial Traops of this Province (being the fitlt of the Provincials from ahy of the Provinces that had arrived there this Seafon) march’d from thence for Fort Edward and Crown Point ; other Companies of the Troops railed by this Province, are on their March from Worcefter and Springfield for Albany. That. laft Thurfday an Account was reccived there, that a Party of theEnemy was difcover’d nearSaratogs; and that a Man was taken Prifoner near Fort Edward; 2lfo that two of cur Battoes going down Still Water Falls, by Accident both funk, and 15 lives loft in them, befides Provifions, &c.—T hat two Regiments “iof Regulars march’d from Albany laft Wedneiday, but that the General ftill remained there. We hear that Capt. Harvey, who was taken in a Schooner belonging to this Town, bound for theWeft Indies, being carried into a Creek, afterwards found Means to get a Boat, and fome Arms for his Men, retook hisVeflel again, and proceeded on his intended Voyage. We- learn by Capt. North from Georges Fort, at the Laftwaid, that on the g:h [nftant he received an Exprefs from Pleafant Point, acquainting him that the Indians had killed two of our Hunters on Penobl(cot River ; and that [ome of the Penoblcot Indians in- formed Col.. Prebble, that they [aw 120 Canada Indians psfs them, while onan Ifland in the River ; and that their Intent was to fall upon St. Georges, Broed Bay, and Sheepfcut ; and that thofe Men, {up- pofed to be Indians, were feen by our Hunters within about two miles of George’s Fort ; upon which Capt. North fir'd an Alarm, expecting an Attack ; but the Enemy not appearing, there went out a Pasty of 21 Men, who returned without fo much as difcovering a fingle Track : So that the Report of our lofing a Number of Cattle, is without Foundation, no D:ftar- bance having happened in thofe Parts before the 8th Inttant, at whichTime he came from thence. ’Twas generally thought at the Eaftward, that the above Reports were owing wholly toDifputes arifen between the Indians and our Hunters ; and it was alfo reported that fome of the latter plundered fome of the former. We hear from Conneéticut, that on Thar(day the 8th Irnftant, being the anniverfary Ele@ion of that Colony, the Hon, T'nomas Frrcn, Efq; was chofen Governor, and the Hon. William Pitkin, Elq; Deputy Governor, for the Year enfuing. Laft Wedne(day a fithing Veflel arrived at Marble- head from the Banks, the Skipper of which informs, that about 14 Days before, he Ipoke with one of his Mzjefty’s Ships of 26 Guns, from whom he learnt, that they had lately taken a large French Storefhip of 22 Guns, and had fent her to Louifbourg ; fhe was bound from O!d France for the River St. Lawrence, and parted from a Fleet of 7 Sail but the Day before fhe was taken, all bound for the fame Piace, where we hope they will be fafely convoyed by Lord Colvill, or fome of his Fleet. Another Fitherman arrived fince, informs, that about the fame Time, he faw on Bank Quero, 7 Sail of Ships, but was not near enough to know who they were ; this, wich taking the above Storefhip, feems to confirm the Account we have lately had of aNumber of French Veflels failing from France in order to get up the River St. Lawrence a3 early in the Spring &s poflible, with Supplies for their diftrefs’d Brethren above the City of Qusbec, < PORTSMO UTH ‘Extraft if a LET TE R, &r. — ¢ Mr. Danter TreEaDWELL, late Profeffir of the Mathematicks and Natural Philofophy, at the Col- lege in New York, was a Perfon early attachwz to Let- ters, had an Education at HarvardCollege inCathbridge, took his Degree in 1754, remaiksble for his, Prefici-myg ency in the Branches ot Learning there cultivated, amd ftanding unrivalled in Scholtarfhip among -his Cotem- poraries. = was of s (weet ‘Temper, «ffable, inge- nious, learned,and inftru&ive in Converfation ; modeit and condelcending in his Behaviour, chafte and virtu- ous in Deportment ; prous and devourin-Religion ; not bigotied to the Forms and Ceremonies, Tenets oc Opinions of this or that particular Scét ; but confci- entioufly devoutznd charitable. ke lived a graceful + Ornzment to the Republic of Lesters, Virtue and Re- ligion ; greatly beloved, much dcfired, ard diel univerfally lamented :- But chearfully rcfigned tothe Will of Heaven, firmly relying on the Merits and Mediation of his Saviour and Redeemer, triumpled in the Agonies of Death on April 18th, 1760, dnno Atatis 25.” ; We hear from O!d York, that on Friday laft in the Afternoon onc Mr. Alexander Woods ( an old Man of chat Place) was taken up dead'in the Sireet 3 {uppofed to have been killed by a Fall. : Custom Housk, PiscaTaway, May 29, : ExTEer'D In, Sloop Ranger, Jofiah Simpfon, from Hali%ax.
