COUNTRY NEWS.

NEWCASTLE, Sept 23. The late Manchester Address will greatly affect the sale of their manufactures in these parts, as the generality of people express much indignation thereat.
CHATHAM, September 21. The unfortunate Captain Sabine, who died of a wound he accidentally received from his own people when upon duty in America, was Captain of his Majesty's division of marines at Chatham, and never was at sea before, though he has been in the marine service here these eighteen or twenty years past. He was much esteemed by his men.



LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 26.

On the 21st instant arrived at Dartmouth, the Friendship, Lewis, from New York : she brought a great number of letters and several families, who had left New York on account of the daily disorders that the populace are guilty of towards every one that is a well-wisher to Government.

Extract of a letter from a Lady in Boston, July 31.

"A Captain Lyon, and his Lady, arrived on the 17th of June last, just at the time of the action at Charles Town. He marched through Boston, and immediately to the field of battle. Mrs. Lyon, from the heights of Boston, was a spectator of the scene, but never saw her husband again, except his remains. She is now going passenger for England, and expects to be delivered on board ship. The shock overwhelmed her so, that she seems lost to every thing."



We hear from good authority that a considerable quantity of breast-plates are getting ready at the Ordinance Office, to be sent to America, as some protection of his Majesty's officers from the murderous rifle-men.
Long Island, which divides the continent by a river of above a hundred miles in length, we are well informed, is the place fixed upon for the regulars to winter in.
In the course of last week no less than 22 transports, fell down the river from the Tower, Deptford, and Woolwich, to proceed with all expedition to Boston, laden with stores, provisions, clothing, and ammunition.


SATURDAY's POST.
LONDON, THURSDAY, Sept. 28.

The following is a Description of the Situation of the two Armies at Boston, in a Letter from the American Camp at Cambridge, dated July 21.

"THE enemy (the King's troops) are situated on Bunker's and Breed's Hills, both on the peninsula where the late town of Charles-Town stood, and within reach, and under the cover of the guns from the batteries in the town of Boston, and the ships in the harbour, and a number of floating batteries, which they have built, that carry two guns in their bows, two in their sterns, and one on each side.- Our people are situated from Charles-river, about 200 rods below College, where we have a redoubt, which begins the line; then about 60 rods from that another redoubt, and lines continued near 100 rods; next at Charles-Town road on the West side of the road, at the foot of Prospect-hill, another redoubt , and strong fortification; then on Prospect-hill, is Putnam's post, a very strong fortification; then between that and Winter-hill, a redoubt. On Winter-hill, a strong citadel, and lines over Charles-Town road to Mistick; then in Mr. Temple's pasture, a strong redoubt that commands to Mistick-river, so that we have a complete line of circumvallation from Charles-river to Mistick-river; our main fortress on Prospect-hill; the enemy's main fortress on Bunker's-hill, within cannon shot of each other; a hill between these posts, a little to the Eastward of Prospect-hill, called Cobble-hill, I expect will soon cost us a squabble, which shall have it, our people or their's; nor do I expect it will be many days before the contest begins, which will probably bring on a general engagement; if they let us alone four or five days more we shall be well prepared, and shall not care how soon they come, the sooner the better. At Roxbury side the enemy have dug across the Neck, and let the water through, and our people in turn have trenched across the outer side of the Neck, and are strongly fortified there, and on the hill by the Meeting-house, so strong that I believe every man in Boston, and at Bunker's and Breed's Hills must fall, before they could force a passage that way into the country."

A letter from New York gives a very different account of the rebel army to what has hitherto appeared in print, viz. "If you consider the number of their forces, you will not be surprised when I tell you that they are at this present time in great distress for provisions. For the first few weeks after they were raised, they lived most extravagantly, draining the country for many miles round of all the provisions to be got at. Now murmurs prevail in their camp, because they cannot be thus accommodated, and every method is taken to procure what is so much cried out for, but without effect. I believe I shall not assert more than truth, if I say that they must eat up with famine before next May, if they do not prudently resolve to accommodate their differences with the Mother-country. Salt provisions they have little or none, tho' they would gladly see a cargo of them, notwithstanding they are continually reflecting upon the King's troops for having little else."

The inhabitants of Rhode Island being apprehensive of an attack from General Gage's army, have fortified themselves on a spot about 3 miles distant from Newport; to which place they have removed all their cannon, artillery, stores and valuable effects. They have from 1000 to 1500 men ready on a short warning to oppose the regulars, should the latter be disposed to pay Rhode Island a visit.

By a private letter received by the last vessel from Boston, we have the following fact : His Majesty's sloop, the Falcon, being on a cruize in Boston Bay, discovered a West India sloop, which she chased, and the sloop ran on the shore in one of the small creeks, where the sloop could not follow, to prevent her being taken, on which the Captain of the King's ship sent out three boats armed, but the country people coming down in great numbers, all well armed, fired on the boats, and took two of them, with twenty-four men, the gunner and boatswain prisoners, but the other boat got off, after their wounding the Lieutenant and another man. The prisoners were sent up the country.

We hear from good authority that an application has been made by our Ministry to the Court of Petersburg for 20,000 of their troops to go to America, to which the Empress and her Ministers had agreed; but on application to the Officers and soldiery, they absolutely refused to go on such service, and assigned the reason, that as Great Britain had declared the Colonies in rebellion, there could be no Cartel between them, and whatever prisoners were taken by either party would certainly be hanged.

Notice is given from the General Post Office, that a mail will be dispatched from thence on Wednesday next for New York, and also one for Charles Town; after which there will be no regular conveyance of letters from that Office to North America; but whatever packet may be dispatched to any part of that continent, proper notice will be given.
A new creation of Admirals must certainly take place, as Mr. Shuldham is going to supersede Admiral Graves on the American station.
This morning 600 sheep were sent down in a lighter to Deptford, to be put on board the ships lying there, bound to Boston, and other ports of America.

A Letter from Norwich, Sept. 25, 1775.

"Thousands of our industrious Poor, who at this season of the year used to be employed in making plain and striped Camblettees, coarse Callimancoes, flowered Sattins, black and white Crapes, &c. are now destitute of work, and have no other prospect than that of the workhouse or starving."



Yesterday at a Quarterly General Court of the East-India Company, an extract of a letter from the Governor and Council of Bombay was read, informing the Court of Directors that they had found it necessary to take possession of the island of Sallett and Coringa. In doing this, they were obliged to storm the fort of Tauna, which they carried sword in hand, but not without some loss, particularly Commodore Watson, who died of the wounds he received. Coringa was taken without the loss of a man. These acquisitions, if retained, will be of great service to the Company.

Drury-Lane theatre, on Saturday last, was opened with an occasional prelude, taken from the fable of the contention between Juno, Venus, and Pallas, which was well received.
The great match between Mr. Pigot's Shark , and Lord Clermont's Johnny, on which near �100,000 was depending, was decided on Monday at Newmarket, in favour of Lord Clermont.

MARRIED.] At Southampton, by special licence, James Stockdale, Esq; to Miss M. Harris.
DIED.] At Combstory , in Somerset, the Rev. Mr. Malet, Rector of that parish, and of Maiden Newton, Dorset, and Prebendary of Gloucester - At Lynn, in Norfolk, Capt. John Bentinck, of his Majesty's navy.

The Americans have seized Mr. Quincy's valuable silver mines, situate between Stoughton and Blewhills, near Boston, from which an immense quantity of bullion is daily produced; they cut it into small pieces, with which they pay their army, &c. These pieces pass current all over the continent.
The Provincials are appraized of General Gage's intention to attempt to take New-London, in Connecticut, for the sake of the harbour there; they are therefore preparing themselves for opposing him.
Thursday three transports, laden with flour, pease, and rice, sailed from the river for Cork, where they are to take on board a quantity of beef and pork, and proceed immediately to Boston.
We hear the reason why the American Packets are to be stopped after next Wednesday, is, because no person chuses to write by them since the Committees and Provincial Congresses have taken upon them to open the letters, consequently those packets that were first set on foot by the Post Office, more for Merchants, than any service they were of to Government, became an expence without use, which it was very prudent to put a stop to.



Yesterday the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, several of the Aldermen, Recorder, the two new Sheriffs, and other city officers, met at Guildhall, when the Recorder opened the business of the day, by acquainting the Livery of the great importance of the matter on which they were to enter. After this all the Aldermen who had not passed the Chair were severally put up on nomination, for the Livery to return two to the Court of Aldermen, for those gentlemen to choose one of them for Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The majority appearing for Messrs Wilkes and Sawbridge, they were returned to the Court of Aldermen, who, after consulting an hour and half, returned Mr. Sawbridge; who thanked the Livery in a very handsome speech - The Aldermen present were, Hayley, Bull, Sawbridge, Lee, Newnham, Plomer, Thomas, Hart, Townshend, Crosby, Hopkins, and Harley.

The present Lord Mayor, by consent of the Hall, read the following letter from Mr. Hancock, which was directed "To the Lord Mayor and Livery of London."

"My Lord,
"Permit the delegates of the people of the twelve ancient colonies, to pay your Lordship, and the very respectable body of which your are head, the just tribute of gratitude, and thanks, for the virtues and unsolicited resentment you have shewn to the violated rights of a free people. The city of London, my Lord, having in all ages approved itself the patron of liberty and the support of just government, against lawless tyranny and oppression, cannot fail to make us deeply sensible of the powerful aid our cause must receive from such advocates.
"A cause, My Lord, worthy the support of the first city in the world, as it involves the fate of a great continent, and threatens to shake the foundations of a flourishing, and until lately, a happy empire.
"North America, my Lord, wishes most ardently for a lasting connection with Great Britain on terms of just and equal liberty; less than which generous minds will not offer, nor brave, and free ones be willing to receive.
"A cruel war has at length been opened against us, and while we prepare to defend ourselves like the descendants of Britons, we still hope that the mediation of wise and good citizens will at length prevail over despotism, and restore harmony and peace, on permanent principles, to an oppressed and divided empire.
"We have the honour to be, my Lord, with great esteem, your Lordship's faithful friends and fellow subjects.
By order of the Congress,
J. HANCOCK, President.
Philadelphia, July 8.

She was taken off the bar of St.Augustine, by the armed vessel fitted out by the Provincials. By this capture the Provincials got 500 barrels of powder, besides other articles that must be of great importance to them in their warlike manoeuvres.
