By a Gentleman who left New-York on Saturday last, we learn, that the enemy there, are very busy in preparing for another embarkation, but the place of their destination remains a profound secret.
Yesterday a Gentleman came to town, who informs, that the enemy are collecting a number of boats at Billop's- Point, on Staten-Island, which has occasioned the militia in the vicinity of Woodbridge and Brunswick to assemble, which, it is hoped, will frustrate any designs the enemy may have against those parts of this state.
The Piece, signed a JERSEY FARMER, is come to hand, and shall have a place in our next.
