A Correspondent remarks, that the
mifrries and afflictions of our own fpe
cirs, from whatever cause they may ori
girij*.-, mull ever claim the public atten

in being able to fay, that all who can
feel for the calamities of otheis, may,
in a short time be gratified with a par
ticular account of the fuScrings of that
once numerous clufs of men the Clergy j

Your correspondent ha 3 been informed,
thai a work of considerable length, under
the title of " The History of the Clergy

h-id ol ihrCe unfortunate beings, whether
couvcyeJ to us tiirtmgti the channel of
Newipapecs, or jithcrwifr* their History
cannot be other than a tale of woe. How
ever ikferving of pyniihmcnt some may
have been, yet a benevolent heart must
revolt at the ideathw all whofufiered were

" I arrived here from Falmouth, in
the Mary of Portland. Four days af
ter we failed we fell in with a French
squadron, who took out fourteen Eng.
jjlith paflengers, and their goods. What
they had not time to take with thein
they threw overboard.
" My family and lelf were protedh'd
by our American pafiport—they fliew

destroy all English (hips and property
and to ttop neutral *e(Tcl3, iind make
piifoners of all Englilhmen they found
on board.
" In futuie-therefore it--vrttt be-ne

the number taken from the Mary, was
William Ruffel, Esq. of Birmingham,

were coming over to this country."

" A gentleman is arrived from Fort

who inform that there are 6,800 troops
there, ready for she expedition, and that

We ft ill are uncertain as to what time
we fliall tarry here. Parties of horfc
are detached to scour the country
Last night they brought in 10 of the

*»ong these are several notorious rebels ;
one being accused of forging letters,
with the signature of the governor ex
pressing a wish 'hat « the people fhoufcJ

would be proteaed"—another is accus

bave been examined, and committed to

The firft 10 were taken about t 2
Bitks<Sftant (over the Mountain) with
out any resistance, out of one house.
I am tc!d that information is received
that about 100 more are colle&ed about
20 miles off; 'tis expe&cd a party will
be detached after them this evening.
We havejuft returned from cfcoiting

A Ihort time since ihe following ex

digging a well, near the church in the

being no appealance of water,) the

a sugar loaf—Aftei the furpnze

water—the digging again commenced,
but not more than three or four strokes
with the Ipade were given before the
watet gushed thro' and in fueh quanti
ties, that it was not without difficulty
the workmen made their escape. The
usual mode of drawing off the water,
by buckets and windlass, was now at
tempted, but proving inadequate, re
