Brigadier General Monckion bas, by a Letter to the Governor of Virginia, deficed to be sflited with 300 Men from that Dominion, to help to Garrifon and maintain the Pofts which we have, in the Courfe of t('l;is faccelsful War, taken from the French on the hio. Satarday laft an Ex ref: came to Town from Crown- Point, which he left on Monday ; —and by him we hear of the fafe Arrival of General AMHERST at that Place, in good Health from Quebec, on his Way hither. The Colony of Virginia is'allow’d the Sum of £.32, 268 19 o, out of the 50,000, granted by Parliament, for the Ufe of the Southera Colonies : —and the fur ther Sum of £.20, 526, out of the zeo,000, granted for the Ufz of the Colonies in general, for the Services by them refpectively performed in the year 1758 : —And their Agent has received faid Sums from the Exchequer. By a genileman from Philadelphia we are informed, that John Bruleman, who was exscuted there on the 8:h Inftant, for the Murder of Mr. Scull, as mentioned in a former paper, was by Trade a filverfmith ; which bufinefs he left and wentintothe army, where he was an officer in the Royal American regiment ; but was difcharged on being detedted in counterfeiting. or ut- tering counterfeit money : He then returned to Philadel- phia, and growing infupportable to himfelf, and yet being unwiliing to put an end to his own life, he de- termined upon the commiflion of fome crime, for which he might get hang’d by-the law. Having formed this defign, he loaded his gun with 2 brace of balls, and afk’d his landlord to goa thooting with bim, intending to murder him before his return, but his landlord not choofing to go, efcaped the danger. He then went out alone, and on the way met a man, whom he was about to kill, but recolle&ing that there were no witnefles to prove him guilty, he let the man pals. He then went to & publick houfe, where he drank fome Liquor, and hear- ing people at play at billiards, in & room above ftairs ; he went up and fat with them, and was talkative, faceti- ous, and {eemingly good humour’d ; after {ome time, be called to the landlord, and defired him to hand up the gun. Mr. Scull, who was at play, having ftruck his antagonifl’s balls into one of the pockets, Bruleman faid to him,—* Sir you are a good marks man, —and now L'l fhow you a fine ftroke :” He immediately levell’d his piece, and took aim at Mr. Scull, ( who imagined him in jeft ) and fhot both the balls through his body. —— He thea went up to Mr. Scull ( who did not expire nor lofe his fenfes, till a confiderable time - after ) and f2id to him,—* Sir, I had no malice nor « [1] will againft you, for I never faw you before, but « T was determin’d to kill lome body, that T might be ¢ hang’d, and you happen to be the man, and asyou are ¢ very likely young man, I am very forry for your < misfortune,”—Mr. Scull had time to fend for his Friends, and make his will. He forgave his murderer, and if it could be done, defired he might be pardon’d. We hear likewife from Philadelphia, that apother tragical accident has heppen’d there laft week, viz. A Gentleman difapproved of the addreflcs of a young Gentleman to his Daughter, and forbid him his houle ; but the young lady favoured her lover, and agreed to ride out with him in & chair, by ftealth. While they were out her Father got notice of the affair, walk'd out with his gun, and conceal’d himfelf on the road where he expeéled them to return: According to his expedt- aticn, the chair with the two young perfons appeai’d, and he fir'd at the young man, who expired inftantly. We have not yet heard any further Particulars of this sffair. N E W-.P O R T, Oftaber 28.
