JUST PUBLISHED, And to be sold by the Printer hereof, A SHORT INTRODUCTION TO English Grammar. By ROBERT LOWTH, Lord Bishop of London. mo those who are acquainted with the merit of this per- formance, or the same of its author, a publisher's recommendation is needless. Those who have not seen it, may be told, that it was lately published in Eng- land, and was known in America but little before the war. A large impression of it was sold in Philadelphia in 1775; it was received with great approbation in several of our colleges, and began to be introduced into the common schools. This is the only system of grammar in which the English language is suffered to wear it's own appearance, and is freed from the borrowed forms of other languages which it knows nothing of.
We begin to be sensible in this country of the import- ance of grammatical knowledge; it begins to make part of school education; and we may please ourselves with the prospect, that it will be more universal when we see how easily it is obtained.

We are happy in being able to inform the Publick from the best authority, that a French fleet, with a large body of troops, are hourly expected on the American coast. The enemy in New-York know this to be a fact, and therefore are exerting themselves to put all their works in and near that city in as good a situation for defence, as lies in their power. For some time past they have had parties out cut- ting fascines, stealing fencerails, and other materials, for the use of their fortifications.
A large ship mounting 16 six-pounders, and 72 hands, bound from Barbadoes to New-York, was captured a few days ago by the brig Holker, and sent into the Delaware.

T HIS is to certify that on the 30th of September, 1779, I, in conjunction with some others in this place, bought four oxen of Limas Schenck; and on the 10th of October, 1779, I also bought thirteen other cattle from said Limas Schenck, for which I paid him; and about the same time I know he sold five more cattle in this place. At his request I certify this to be the truth, as it has been alledged he sold them elsewhere.

T HIS may certify all whom it may concern, that some time in No- vember last, Limas Schenck, the bearer, brought to this town 23 head of cattle, 11 of which I bought of him, and six more he sold to three of my neighbours; the remainder he drove to Philadel- phia, and there sold them to John Houseman, a butcher, as by agree- ment in writing, in possession of said Schenck, dated 4th Dec. 1779. As he the said Limas Schenck informs me a report prevails, that he sold the above cattle elsewhere, I do, at his request, certify the above to be true.

We hear that a large ship from London for New-York was captured off the Hook, on Sunday sennight, after an obstinate action of four hours, by two New-England pri- vateers, and carried into an Eastern port, laden with dry goods, said to be valued at 60,000 l. sterling. During the engagement several frigates were dispatched from the Hook to reconnoitre the vessels, but after they had got some distance, were, by a signal from a British ship of 74 guns ordered to return, lest the firing should prove a decoy of a French fleet, which they daily expect on the coast, and in consequence thereof have ordered a number of vessels to be got ready to sink in the channel at a short notice.
A detachment of 150 men from the 57th regiment under the command of Major Brownlow,1 landed upon New Ark Meadows, yesterday morning at two o'clock, in order to surprize a small body of Rebels quartered in the town; upon the march of the troops to that place, Major Brown- low fell in with a small patrole close to the town, one man of which running off, gave the alarm; by this means the greatest part of them made their escape, thirty three ex- cepted, four of whom were killed, the remainder taken prisoners, with the loss upon the part of the King's troops, four men wounded, three of them very slightly .- The Royal Gazette, No. 382, May 27, 1780.

A gentleman from Middle-Town Point, informs us that there certainly is a fleet of our allies on the coast, and that several of the officers had been on shore. 'Tis said they consist of near one hundred sail .- The New-York Journal, and the General Advertiser, No. 1879, May 29, 1780.
CHATHAM, MAY 31.
On Friday morning last, about day-break, the 57th regi- ment from Staten-Island, entered the town of Newark, plundered some of the inhabitants to a very considerable amount, and carried off about twenty of them prisoners .- When they retreated, a few spirited militia pushed their rear very hard, and wounded a few, but we do not learn they killed or took any prisoners. That late gallant officer Capt. Knox (who commanded the forlorn hope at the re- duction of Stoney-Point fort)1 and another of our people, were wounded; the former, it is feared, will not recover, being wounded in the face, and part of his tongue shot away.
On Friday last was executed at camp, near the grand parade, James Coleman of the 11th Pennsylvania regi- ment, for repeated desertion and forgery. Ten more of different regiments were under similar sentence, but for many important reasons were by the commander in chief fully pardoned.
1 George Knox was commissioned Ensign of the Ninth Pennsylvania, in February, 1777 ; Second Lieutenant, March, 1778, and First Lieutenant. February 9th, 1779. He distinguished himself so greatly at Stony Point that Congress "warmly approved and applauded the cool, determined spirit with which he and others led on the forlorn hope, braving danger and death in the cause of their country," and conferred a brevet-captaincy on him. According to "Hejtman's Register" he resigned in April, 1780.

The whole being conducted with much solemnity, we cannot but give the following particulars to the public :--- Upon the arrival of the criminals at the place of execution, the attending Chaplain, Rev. Mr. Rogers,1 of General Hand's brigade, prayed and recommended them severally to God, particularly Coleman, who was first to suffer. Prayer being over, the unfortunate wretch was fixed to the gallows, and, previous to his exchanging worlds, addressed the officers and soldiers of the army with the greatest com- posure .- The soldiers he earnestly warned against deser- tion and perjury .- The officers he intreated not to use their soldiers with too much severity, and never to promise them more than they were able to perform .- Putting up a few short ejaculations, he made a signal to be turned off. -- A disagreeable accident now happened in the rope's breaking .- Recovering, he mounted the ladder again, re- peated his exhortation to the soldiery, and was a second time turned off. The fortitude with which he died, his resolution, tho' modest deportment, during the whole scene, justly astonished the surrounding spectators, and caused them sincerely to wish that by a better life he had procured a better end .- A paper being delivered Mr. Rogers, he read it to the ten survivors; upon their dis- covery it contained their full pardon, they were amazingly affected, as it was by them totally unexpected .- Pursuant to request, Mr. Rogers embraced so striking an oppor- tunity in pronouncing a concise and pathetic oration to which all who could possibly hear paid particular atten- tion .- It is ardently wished that Coleman's unhappy fate may suitably awe ;- while the unparalleled act of lenity from our illustrious chief, in remitting the sentences of the others, must, if rightly implored, influence all who are possessed of any just feelings, to a strict discharge of the

The BACHELOR'S MEDITATION in a LOVE-FIT HOUR.
SHALL I, unblam'd in rhyme commend The maid I love, my fairest friend, Now sitting singing sweet and free, Beneath the shade of yonder tree ; Whose tow'ring top ascends so high, It seems a neighbour of the sky ; And all its boughs still wave and play,
To fan the scorching heat away. Around its foot, on ev'ry side, Beneath its branches far and wide,
Doth jessamine and roses grow, And ev'ry fragrant flower blow.
There Venus doth her chariot rest ;
There Cupid pants on Phebe's breast;
Who taught me there to yield to love, In spite of reason and of Jove. Her cheerful chat and airy mien,
Laid the vapours, cur'd the spleen,
Made my spirits brisk and gay,
And stole my ravish'd soul away.
Every feature, every line, Every motion seem'd divine ;
Nor could Calypso in her isle,
So softly speak or sweetly smile.
O had I wings, like yonder dove, And charms to make the goddess love,
How swift I'd wing the yielding air To her, the object of my prayer. Then all in rapture her fair breast,
With eager arms to mine I'd press ; And with ten thousand kisses sweet, Her rosy lips I'd fondly greet. In mutual love we'd spend the day,
And in the night we'd sport and play, Till her fair frame, dissolv'd in charms, Should softly slumber in my arms.
