Riv. June 17,'78. Last Saturday night about 11 o'clock, a small party of Rebels from Jersey, landed at N. Utrecht, and proceeded im- mediately to Flatbush, where several gentlemen of N. Y. have country houses. They were joined and led on by a rebel officer named Forrest, on parole there, (who deserted with them,) and assisted by many of the rebel officers then on parole and residing at Flatbush, (who, it appears, had intelligence of their coming.) They divided themselves into 3 parties and surrounded the houses of Major Moncrieffe, David Matthews, Esq., Mayor of N. Y. city, and Theophylact Bache. They found easy access to the houses of the Major and Mr. Bache, and surprised them both be- fore they had the least suspicion of danger. They were civil to the Major, but at Mr. Bache's behaved in their usual savage style, giving Mrs. B. several blows on her entreating them not to use her husband ill, wounding one of the female servants with their bayonets, plundered the
Graydon.

house of what plate they could find, and dragged away Mr. Bache with- out giving him time to put on his clothes. They were not so success- ful at the Mayor's, who seemed to have been their principal object. He had taken care that his doors and windows should be well secured and never opened at night on any pretence, until it was well known within, who were without. The first tap at the door (which was in a seeming friendly manner) alarmed the Mayor, who took such a post, that though they should force in below, it would require a considerable time to reach him. He at the same time ordered one of his blacks to an upper window to alarm the inhabitants. The loud cry of murder was the first intelligence the Rebels had of their being suspected, upon which they began a most furious attack on the door with the butts of their muskets, and threatened destruction to the whole family unless they were let in. One or two of their muskets being broke and no impres- sion made on the door, and the alarm being still kept up by the servant, they attacked the windows which afforded room for entrance, when the cry of the servant awakened a negro of Chief Justice Horsemanden, who ran out and fired a musket, which so terrified these shabby cordwainers, that they fled with the greatest precipitation, carrying off the Mayor and Mr. Bache. Messrs. Miles Sherbrooke and Aug. Van Cortlandt were also to have been taken off, had they not been alarmed by the Ethiopi- an's fire. Immediately on the intelligence being received at Brooklyn, where Col. Cockburn commanded, Capt. Drew with a detachment from the 35th Regiment, marched to Flatbush, but the wonted speed of the Rebels saved them to fight another day.
846. It was deemed impossible for Marrener to march to Flat- bush unobserved by the people. Therefore those who knew or had seen the party, were guilty of treason, for not giving the alarm. Col. Van Brunt, his brother Adrian, Rem Van Pelt and his brother Aert, all of N. Utrecht, were taken up on suspicion and confined separately in the Provost. Col. Van Brunt, when arrested, had the precaution to provide himself with a purse of gold, and inquired of the sergeant of the Provost if he could furnish him good provisions for breakfast, dinner, and supper. The sergeant said yes, but Cun- ningham must not know it. He received a guinea, and sent the fare by his wife. The Col. gave her also a guinea to provide food for his fellow prisoners and inquire how they fared. The woman returned and said they were fearful and sad. The Col. begged of the sergeant, an opportunity of seeing his neighbors privately. They

At last they were examined separately, and as they all agreed in their story, and nothing appeared against them, were dis- chargedilovThe bpurse of gold held: out, the sergeant was liberally rewarded for his kindness, and his wife received an additional guinea for her importunities with her husband in favor of the prisoners din Jaoq s doua door odw .ToveM od bour gs I.
