MONDAY's POST.
AMERICA.
NEW-LONDON, August 31.
YESTERDAY morning at six o'clock, we were alarmed by a severe firing to the eastwards of this harbour, and in a little time an express arrived from Stonnington (a small town about twelve miles distant) informing that a tender had pursued two small sloops into that harbour, who ran on shore, and the people landed before the tender was in gun shot; and as soon as she got in, they fired a full broadside into the town, tack'd and went out; and in a little time returned with two more tenders and his Majesty's ship the Rose : The ship came to an anchor and brought her side to bear against the town, and began to fire, the tender also, who kept under sail, and both ships and sloops continued (without intermission) firing the whole day, and by express, which has since arrived, find they have killed two men of ours. There is now numbers of people collecting and are there; and when the tender came within musket shot we fired on them : One tender got aground, and in carrying out a hawser our people imagined they killed several in the boat. There has been a flag sent off the Rose, to know the reason for this extra work. The Captain says our people fired on the tender first, and that he will blow the town down. There is this morning a cessation of firing - hope the matter is settled.
CAMBRIDGE, Aug. 31. Last Saturday night about 2000 of the united troops of this continent, entrenched on what is called Plough-hill, within point blank shot of the enemy, and notwithstanding a continual from them almost all Sunday, we had only two killed and one wounded, viz. Adjutant Mumford, of Rhode-Island, and another man killed, Mr. Wm. Simpson, a volunteer of Pennysylvania, lost a leg, and another man wounded, neither dangerous. We have not heard how many the enemy lost, though it is said one officer and several men were seen to fall.
Bunker's-hill, Plow'd hill, and Winter-hill, are situated in a range from east to west, each of them on or near Mistick river Plow'd hill is in the middle, and the lowest of the three, the summit of which is about half a mile from the enemy's works on Bunker's hill.
It is said the port of Boston is open on the same footing as the other governments, trade being allowed to be carried on to Great-Britain, Ireland, and the British islands, in the West-Indies.
PHILADELPHIA.
Extract of a letter from the American Camp, Aug 31.
"Since the affair at Plow'd-Hill, the ministerial troops remained quiet all Sunday night, - but on Monday morning we were alarmed by a signal from Chelsea, and presently perceived they were drawn up and in motion on the side of Bunker-Hill, facing that way. It was immediately conjectured that they intended to attack us at high water, and in a short time 5 or 6000 of our men were marched to the entrenchment on Plow'd-Hill, and on the Charles-Town road. We waited there till near three o'clock in the afternoon, whilst the most awful silence was observed on both sides, until some of our men stragling along the walls fired upon the regular sentries, which brought on several shot from the floating batteries, with the loss of one of the Bay soldiers, since that time they have thrown between twenty and thirty bombs, and a vast number of cannon ball, but without doing any injury to our people.
"Unless very large reinforcements soon arrive, there will not be another engagement this year, as we have so vastly the superiority in point of numbers. - At present they lie tolerably still, except disturbing us at night with their bombs."
Extract of a letter, dated Cambridge, 4th Sept, 1775.
"The enemy are endeavouring to annoy our new post with shot and bombs : Their shot have killed four and wounded three on this side. At Roxbury they killed three on Friday night.- A small loss.- We seldom return fire. On Saturday we gave them a few 24 pounders, which we believe killed several of their men, as the first shot entered their guard-house. Deserters are coming over to us every day."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Albany, Sept. 2.
"By an express arrived last evening, we hear there has been a skirmish near St.John's, between a reconnoitring party of our men in a boat, and a boat of Regulars, Canadians, and Indians. - The General's letter on the occasion mentions that the Captain of our party was killed, (one Baker) and a number of the whites and two Indians of the enemy were slain;- that General Montgomery, with 1200 men, set off the first of the week for St.John's, and were to muster on the Isle of Noix, until joined by General Schuyler, who, with about as many more men, has by this time arrived, so that within a very few days it is possible the blow will be struck, which will determine the fate of three provinces; and here I must wait an idle listner to news, merely because hard necessity ties me down, as our men cannot yet march for want of campaign equipage."
NEW-PORT, (Rhode-Island Sept.4.
A sloop was lately carried into Boston, with live stock from connecticut, which was taken by a cruiser, which vessel and cargo were condemned in Boston as forfeited : the Captain of which left Boston last Tuesday and informs, that ten regulars were carried into Boston dead, the Sunday before, who had been killed by riflemen belonging to the American army, on Saturday night, the 26th of last month; that it was very sickly among the inhabitants and ministerial troops; and that there were but 2000 regulars in Boston, fit for duty, and the same number at Bunker's-Hill.
Extract of a letter from Wilmington, in North Carolina, dated Sept. 10.
"In the gale of wind of the 2d instant at Ocricock harbour, out of 36 sail only three survived the gale; the rest were either sunk or drove to pieces on the shoals. Almost all the people are lost, 136 in number, as are all their cargoes, many consisting of naval stores; amongst the rest, a ship with 2500 barrels of tar. Several vessels with naval stores were lost at Newburn, and Cape Hatteras; and not long since a large ship of Mr. Quincy's called the Hector, with 2700 barrels of tar, was lost on Cape Fear shoals, after she had got clear of the land, and with a fair wind."
LONDON, Oct. 21.
WAR-OFFICE, Oct.21. His Majesty has been pleased to appoint the following Colonels to be Major-Generals :- Sir Robert Hamilton, Bart., Rob. Robinson [?], Francis Crag, Edw. Viscount Ligonier, Hugh Earl Percy, William Tayler, Sir Eyre Coote, and Charles Earl Cornwallis.
ST.JAMES'S, Oct.21. It is his Majesty's pleasure that all officers belonging to his Majesty's 15th, 37th, 53d, 54th, and 57th, regiments of foot, now serving in Ireland, do immediately repair to their respective corps in that kingdom, except such as belong to the additional companies of those regiments, or may be employed in Ireland on the recruiting service.
ROCHFORD
Yesterday an address from part of the Livery of London, was presented to his Majesty at St. James's relative to the unhappy divisions between Great Britain and her colonies.
Yesterday an address and petition from some of the principal inhabitants of the city of Coventry was presented, praying that conciliatory measures may be taken with respect to the American colonies; which was graciously received.
The 12th instant Mr. Barry Barry moved in the Irish House of Commons, that the proper officer should lay before the House a list of the men in garrison in Toome castle, with the number of artillery. He said he made this motion because he was informed no such castle existed, and yet a Governor was appointed, with a salary of �1500. a year. Now, as it was said there was an arrear incurred, if any part of it was on that account, it was worthy Parliament's notice. Captain Wilson declared he knew the place, and that this pretended castle was not even sufficient to entitle a vote for a potwalloping borough. Mr. O'Neil said the lands of the place belonged to him, and the whole demesne was conveyed to his ancestors some centuries ago; that he had laid his claim before Counsel in England, and when he had received their opinion, he should assert his right as far as the law would allow: and in the mean time should oppose an Governor's taking possession thereof. Mr. Barry Barry said, he thought nominal places with large salaries were worse than petitions; for petitions would end with the lives of the petitioners; but nominal places after the death of the possessors would be given to others, and the nation continued to be burthened.
Major General Pitt, is appointed to the command of the Carabineers in Ireland, late General Hervey's.
Three more battallions are ordered from Ireland for America.
Two regiments of foot have received orders to embark next month for Ireland.
Twenty-eight Serjeants of the three regiments of guards are gone on recruiting parties for the different marching regiments on the British establishment; and ten are gone to Ireland to enlist men to recruit the regiments in America.
Last night some villains broke into Mr. Morton's, a pawnbroker in Spitalfields, and stole out watches, plate, and other things of value; to the amount of 170.
THURSDAY's POST.
LONDON, Oct24.
St. James's, Oct 23.
STEPHEN SAYRE, Esq; having been accused by an information upon oath, of HIGH TREASON, was this day taken into custody, and after having been examined by the Earl of Rochford, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, was committed prisoner to the Tower.- Lon. Gaz.
Between the hours of nine and ten yesterday morning, Mr. Stavely, of Half-moon-street, Piccadilly, and Mr. Mann, of Queen Anne-street, Westminster, (both King's messengers) attended by a constable, repaired to the house of Stephen Sayre, Esq.; in Oxford-street. As an excuse to obtain an interview with Mr. Sayre, they pretended that a forged draft for �200 had been issued by the bank of which Mr. Sayre is a proprietor. Mr. Sayre no sooner appeared than the messengers acquainted him, that "they had an order signed by Lord Rochford, one of the Secretaries of State, to take him into custody on a charge of HIGH TREASON; and to search for, seize, and carry with them, such of his papers as they might deem effectual for their purpose."
Mr. Sayre heard the summons with composure, smiled at the heinousness of the charge, and permitted the messengers to search his escrutores, &c. They found a letter from Mrs. Macaulay, (sister to the Lord Mayor elect) and another Letter addressed to "the Livery of London," under the signature of "Barnard's Ghost," which they seized and carried off with them.
Mr. Sayre expressed his readiness to accompany the King's messengers unto Lord Rochford's house, having previously dispatched a servant to Mr. Reynolds, requesting his attendance with the utmost expedition. The messengers conducted Mr. Sayre to the presence of Lord Rochford, where Sir John Fielding was present. An information from one Richardson (an adjutant of the guards) was read. The charge contained in this information was to the following purport :
"That Stephen Sayre, Esq; had expressed to him, the said Richardson, an intention of seizing the King's person as his Majesty went on Thursday to the Parliament-house; also an intention of taking possession of the Tower, and of overturning the present government."
After this information had been read, Mr. Sayre replied to the separate charges; he stated how very slightly he was acquainted with adjutant Richardson, the informer; he mentioned the only conversation which had ever passed between them, and he was about to enter more largely into the futility of the charge, when it was announced to Lord Rochford "that Mr. Reynolds demanded immediate admittance to his client." Mr.Reynolds was admitted. Having been introduced to Lord Rochford and Sir John Fielding, the latter put the following question to Mr. Reynolds:
"Is it Mr. Sayre's desire that you should attend in his behalf ?"
Mr. Reynolds replied in the affirmative. Sir John Fielding said, "that this is not true." Mr. Reynolds replied, "that Sir John Fielding, as a Magistrate, might say that which, as a gentleman, he could not justify." The Knight then desired that it might be asked of Mr. Sayre "whether he had sent for Mr. Reynolds ?" Mr. Sayre replied, "that he had sent for him, without mentioning the place where he was to attend."
These disputes being adjusted, it was agreed that Mr. Reynolds might attend the private examination of his friend. The first advice Mr. Reynolds gave to Mr. Sayre was this: "that he should not answer any interrogatories which Lord Rochford or Sir John Fielding might propound; and that he should not sign any paper."
The information which contained the charge was a second time read at the request of Mr. Sayre, who smiling at the recital, Mr. Reynolds joined in the laugh, and said, "that the whole was too ridiculous to be seriously attended to." An altercation then ensued between Mr. Reynolds and adjutant Richardson, the informer. Lord Rochford and Sir John Fielding were requested by the informer to silence Mr. Reynolds. He saved them the trouble by observing, "that he should always pay a proper deference to authority, but whatever he had said of the informer he would repeat in any other place whatever,"
Mr. Reynolds then told Lord Rochford, "that if, after consulting the great law-officers of state, (which his Lordship would do of course) as the information did not amount to a direct charge against Mr.Sayre, his Lordship should think himself warranted to receive bail, ample and sufficient bail should be given; but if it was thought warrantable to commit, he scorned to ask a favour for his client."
Mr. Sayre was ordered into an adjacent appartment, and was soon afterwards committed a close prisoner to the Tower.
The following is a true copy of the warrant of commitment.
(COPY)
"William Henry, Earl of Rochford, one of the Lords of his Majesty's most honourably Privy Council, and principal Secretary of State :
These are, in his Majesty's name, to authorise and require you to receive into your custody the body of Stephen Sayre, Esq.; herewith sent you, being charged upon oath before me, one of his Majesty's principal secretaries of state, with treasonable practices, and to keep him in close custody, until he shall be delivered by due course of law; and for so doing, this shall be your warrant.
Given at St.James's, on the 23d day of October, 1775, in the fifteenth year of his Majesty's reign.
ROCHFORD.
"To the Earl Cornwallis, constable to his Majesty's Tower of London, or to the Lieutenant of the said Tower, or his deputy."
Mr. Sayre, previous to his commitment to the Tower, from Lord Rochford's office, begged the favour of pen, ink, and paper; which being granted him, he wrote immediately to a bosom friend, to assure him, that "whatever might be the event, upon the honour of a gentleman, he was totally innocent of the charge brought against him, for plotting to secure the person of his M-----y, and to take possession of the tower."
After Mr. Sayre was committed to the Tower yesterday he sent the following letter to the Secretary of State :
MY LORD,
"I FIND upon reading the warrant of commitment, that the commanding officer here cannot permit my friends to visit me, unless by express orders from your Lordship. If it is in your Lordship's power, I have no doubt but you will readily grant me that indulgence," I am, &c.
"Tower, three o'clock, Oct.23.
In consequence of which Mrs. Sayre was permitted to visit him; but Lord Effingham, Mr. Edmund Burke, the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Ellis, applied for the like permission, but were refused.
The reason for committing Mr. Sayre to the Tower instead of a county gaol, is supposed to guard against his release, Mr. Reynolds, his Attorney, being under Sheriff, and the Sheriffs themselves no friends to the measures of administration.
But the reason assigned is, that Mr. Sayre being a petitioner for a seat in Parliament, and having besides served the office of Sheriff of London, in respect to the city required such a compliment.
A correspondent, who pretends to speak from best authority, assures us, that whatever might have been the ostensible charge made against Mr. Sayre before Lord Rochford on Monday, the true one rests on some letters of that gentleman, intercepted by General Carlton, and transmitted by the last packed which arrived from Quebec.
The same correspondent assures us, that on the delivery of the packet by Lord Dartmouth to his Majesty at Kew, Mr. Wedderburne was immediately sent for to town, and consulted on the occasion. It was on this advice, therefore, that every consequent step was taken, till Mr. Sayre's commitment to the Tower was finally determined on in the manner it has since took place.
Three of his Majesty's messengers, it is reported, are set out for Gravesend, assisted by other officers, all with special warrants, in order to embark on board a vessel to sail with all expedition after three ships, which have sailed under the denomination of merchantmen to the American Colonies; information having been given that they are freighted with arms, ammunition, and several thousand pounds in specie for the use of the Americans, which have been sent there by certain patriots, in opposition to the order of government.
There is advice from America, that one of his Majesty's frigates had taken a vessel from England near Virginia, on board of which was a considerable sum of money, designed, supposed, for the use of the Provincial army.
In the above vessel were found several letters for the Continental Congress; which letters have been transmitted home to government, & it is said in consequence thereof the parties will be all seized, on a charge of high treason.
Letters written by many gentlemen to their friends in America, have been intercepted, and, it is said, are to be laid before the House of Commons the second day of their meeting.
By a gentleman who came in the last vessel which arrived from New-York, we hear that the Virginians now embodied, amount to 15,000 foot, and 2,000 horse, besides double that number in actual training. This body is chiefly designed for the defence of the Provinces of New-York and Pennsylvania, while the troops of the former are to penetrate into Canada by the Lakes, and those of the latter to join the provincial army under the command of General Washington.
Orders, it is said, have been sent off express to the different sea-ports, to prevent the embarkation of any persons whatever, till proper notice be given from Government to the contrary.
On Saturday night the sessions ended, at the Old Bailey, when 11 prisoners, together with Elizabeth Ives (who was convicted in September sessions) received judgment of death; 21 were ordered to be transported for seven years; nine branded on the hand, six of whom are also to be imprisoned one year in Newgate; three ordered to be privately whipped, and 16 discharged by proclaimation.
Yesterday a woman in Oxford-road was taken up for the murder of her own child, by strangling it with a handkerchief, and afterwards throwing it down a necessary.
SATURDAY's POST.
LONDON, October 26.
Private letters received yesterday from Quebec make mention, that a party of the Provincials which had penetrated into Canada, were attacked by Gen. Carleton at the head of about 200 regulars and body of Canadians. The rebels were defeated with the loss of 30 men killed, and a considerable number wounded. Of Gen. Carleton's party, only four were killed. It is said the Provincials will not be able to get farther than St.John's this season, for want of artillery.
Advice received by the Mary, Capt. Edwards, who arrived on Tuesday in the Downs from Quebec, that the Provincial army was got to Ongea, near Quebec; and that it was expected they would be masters of that city in a few days, as the inhabitants in general seemed to favour the designs of the Provincials; that General Carleton had sent on board one of his Majesty's ships his best effects, as he expected to be made a prisoner. The inhabitant of Quebec have shut up their port, and stopped all exports and imports till matters are settled with the mother country.

Extract of a letter from Bristol
"Captain Carter who is arrived from Carolina, informs me, that on his refusal to declare the trade of Bristol was ruined, and the people, in consequence, grown quite outrageous he was taken before Congress, who ordered him to be tarred and feathered, but having some friends among the members of the Congress, by their intercession he was pardoned. Two days before his departure they seized a person of large property, on suspicion of his endeavouring to raise an insurrection among the negroes; though he protested his innocence of the charge, and nothing could be proved against him, he was condemned to be hanged, which was immediately put in execution, and a large fire was made near the gallows, and his body thrown into it.
The above paragraph having appeared in several of the London and other papers, this is acquaint the public, that the former part is a falshood; and the latter is as follows : A few days before I left Carolina, a free negro was tried, condemned, and executed, for attempting an insurrection amongst the negroes.

MR. BRESLAW, with the most profound Submission, has the Honour of taking Leave of the Ladies and Gentlemen in this City and Neighbourhood, and whose Politeness and Generosity he acknowledges the most lasting Obligations, perhaps no public Performer was ever more distinguished by the Favours of the Great, exclusive of having the Honour of performing several Times before their Majesties and the Royal Family, he has been happy in receiving the Commands of almost every great Family in this Kingdom; and by Desire of many Families in this City and Neighbourhood, who have not yet had the Opportunity of seeing Mr. BRESLAW's Performances, he begs Leave to acquaint them, that he will exhibit for a new Nights longer at the Merchant Taylors-Hall in Broad-street, this present Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday next, in the Evening, precisely at Seven o'Clock, will be performed, quite a new grand Exhibition, in Six Acts, on Cards, Jihanned, Caskets, Letters, Medals, Potatoes Purses, Numbers, Dice, Machineries, &c. &c. and particularly a new Experiment in Watches, the like he has never done here before; and between the different Acts, the Exhibition of Birds, and several new select Pieces of Music will be performed by the Italian Company : Likewise Sieur NICOLO will Whistle the Notes in a Manner entirely-new; Sieur CORANSO will sing in large Spectacles and French Councellor's Wig, A-la-mode a Paris; Madame REMARDO and Sieur NICOLO will sing two droll Songs call'd Hallalargu Signoro; after which Sieur GAETANO LA ROSSIGNOEL will imitate Birds.

At the COOPERS-HALL, King-Street, Bristol,
IN a few Days (of which timely Notice will be given) will be opened for the Inspection of the Public, Mr. COX's GRAND COLLECTION of MECHANISM and JEWELLERY, consisting of a Variety of NEW PIECES, equal in Elegance, Design, and Ingenuity to those which have already given such general Satisfaction in London.
N.B. As the several Pieces which compose the Museum in Bristol, are (not only different from those exhibited in London, they not having ever been publickly viewed there) but equally Curious as well as Magnificent, Mr. COX humbly hopes the generous Inhabitants of Bristol will not think he has set too high a Price on the View of his Works during their Continuance in this City, by fixing the Terms of Admission at Half-a-Crown each Person.
Tickets may be had at the Coopers-Hall in King-street, or of Mr. James Sketebly [?], No.27, Small-street.
Lest any one should be misled by a Person who in a certain Bill banded about Town, pretends to have finished the grand Pieces of Mechanism which compose the Museum in London, Mr. COX respectfully acquaints the Public, that the said Person has no Pretensions to merit therein, as not a single Piece of that Museum was executed by him.
