Richardfon ; he fays, afew days before he left Martineco, two’frigates, s new General, and 250 foldiers, arrived there from France, thet the inhabitants were caily in expeCtaion of a vifit from the Englifh, and many of them did not care how foon they arrived, being thoroughly fenfible of the [weets of the Englifh conftitution from their brethren of Guadaloupe. Monday laft his Majefty’s XXIId regiment of foot arrived here from Albany : The behaviour of this regiment, when here about 3 years ago, gave great . fatisfaction to the inhabitants : They are now com- : manded by Lord Rollo. ¥ ey v e e o L s NEW -PORT, (Rhode-Ifland) April 7.

The General Aficmbly of this Colony, at their fion the 3oth of March laft, ordered a Regiment to Be Mmediately raifed, to confilt of fix Hundred and SixtyJive Men, Oficers included, for the enluing Campsign. b | O L B e T AT U [Py ) B O.8 T, O N, Apriliz We hear that Wedne(day the 22d Day of April Inft. is appointed for the General Falt: It was intended to be on Thurfday the 23d, but it being apprehended that the laft mention’d Day may probably be the Day of his Majelty’s Coronation, and the Time of the Year not allowing & further Delay, it is appointed as above. The Affembly of the Colony of Cannetticut, at their Seffions, on the 26tn of March, made Provifion for raifing and equipping, for the enluing Campaign, Twen- ty-three Hundred effzttive Volunteers, including Offi- cers 3 to be form:d into two regiments, and com- manded by the Colonels Lyman and Whiting.

Monday la®t the ancient and honourable Artillery Company made Choice of the Rev’d Mr. Fofepb Fack- Jon, of Brookline, to preach the Sermon oif the Anni- verfary of the Election . of Officers for that Company, on the firft Monday in June next. Wehear from Salem that laft Lord’s Day afad Ac- cident happened to a Woman in that Town : As fhe was walking to Mceting her Ancle turned which bro’t her on her Knees with fach Force that the Bones of both Knees were broke about three Inches above the Bend. Mondey in the Aftérnoon a Fire was difcovered in an Apartment of the Stone Goal in this Town ; butdid g In our laft wedgferted an dccsunt $f the takire of a French Frigate; calied the Viflal, by his Majefiy's bip Jnicorn, commanded by Capt. unt. after o fmart En gagement,.in which the faid-Gaptain cwas wiunces in ths §7 bigh, of which Wound be d%d; —F ke foliowing Fx trafls containiag [ome addit Account relatizg 1o that brave Man, coming fixze to our View, e think i proper o give them a Place, viz. ; Extrait of a Letter from Plymouth, Farwary 12. — Uring the-operations of cutting off of Lapuin Hunt’s thigh, whichthe forgeon immediately thougnt proper to do, and afterwards tili his death, the Captain behsved with the utmoft firmnefs and reioludion. He was the perfe@ hero.—Hs entreated the fizft Licut. to fight the enemy’s fhip as long as fhe could fwim, 2nd not think of giving up the king's fhip, for thar the enemy wonld be fhortly obliged to firike : He lived ahout half an° hour after the French had farrendered, ‘and then like another Worre, expired, declaring he ‘was fully fatisfied. —Fe is greatly and defervedly la- mented by all that knew him. January 13. Twelve o’ clock. ¢ This moment the Captain's body is landed at Mount Edgecombe ; the fhips in the found and harbour have their colours haif mait high, and are firing minute guns, all the Captains of the fhips attend, alfo the Marine of- ficer with his party of marines, and moft of the hopeft tars, which fhows how greaty-he was beloved, how greatly he islamented : He is to be buried at the church over Mouut Edgecombe, where the fignals are hoifted. ¢ One circumfitance of Capt. Hunt's behaviour .was fo truly great, that I cannot poffibly omit it : He tho't the {urgeon was more affiduous in attending upon him than upon the common failors that were wounded, and expreffed fome difpleafure at it, declaring he would be dreffed only in his turn, and defired as much care might be taken of every one that was wounded. The Mortar bomb was Capt. Hunt's proper fhip ; he afled on board the Unicorn, for a brather Captain, who is ill. Lient. Hunt, brother to the deceafed, has now got the command of the Mortar bomb, which I hope. will be confirmed to him, as he is, in every refpe&, the brother of Capt. Jofeph Hunt. & AS every Britifh Subje&t wiil undoubtedly be fomewhat fallicttous to become feafonably acquainted with the pablick Adminiftration and Changes under cur new King, &t Home, and with the Influence of his Magiefty’s Government on the province of Canada, and his other Provinces and Colonies in America : as well as the important Affairs of Peace and War in Earope: We wonld therefore aflure our Readers, that we fhall endeavour faithfully to publifh the moft early Intelligence we fhall receive from Time to Time on thefe Heads, by the Vieffels which may arrive from Great Britain and ellewhere’: ... : An excellent Prayer of Prince Eugene’s which was in fo mauch Efteem among the Officers under the Duke of Marlborough, that there was fcarce one but could repeat it ; and frequently ufed by his Praffian Majefty.
