From the pofition in which body was found, the third day after the murder committed, it plainly appears that the villains had felled Mr. Oakley to kneel down, then fired feve Jilmufquet bullets through his body, which was 'ctward with the face on the ground.

Fivemufquets ff heard to fire by foroe people about half a mile the place, at nine o'clock the fame morning VMr.Oakley left home, which undoubtedly deftroy liTe of this good citizen and true friend to his ntry. One half joe and fome filver which he took home with him, his aflaflinatort took from him, his horre, faddie and bridle.

Laft Tuefday the birth of the Dauphin of France was celebrated by the citizens of this town.

There was an elegant dinner provided, at a place called the Independent Spring, at which were prefent the chevalier d'An mour, and a number of ftrangers and French gentle men. After dinner Hie following toads were drank, and the entertainment was clofed with that harmony and good humour which, in a peculiar manner diflin guifhed the day. 1 The Dauphin of France. o.

13 May the Princes of Europe imitate the Moderation and Virtues of Lewis the XVIth. The French 'forces, under the command of his (excellency count de Rochambeau, are now on their march from Williamfburg for the northward. It is faid they are to encamp for fome time at or near George town, on Potowmack. We are aflured, that a flrong body of Brltifh troops having lately attacked the Americans pofled near Savannah, in Georgia, under general Wayne's command, were repulfed with very confiderable lofs, and in a manner that reflects very great honour on the arms of the united ftates. The enemy, it is aflerted, have been equally unfuc cefsful in the vicinity of Charleftown, having failed in an attempt to take or deftroy a picquet of general Greene's army, with the lofs of about 120 men, 40 of whom were (lain, the reft made prifoners.

At noon a fa lute was fired, the of the city were rung, and other demonftrations of joy exhibited on the occafion. Extract of.a letter from a gentleman at Jtfew Windfor, dated 25th June, 1782.

You may reft affur'd, ithat Lippencut will fuffer death, and not captain Afgil I have good authority for it. He is condemn'd, but the difficulty is, whether fhall fuffer in York or here, being for executing him Philadelphia, July 5, 1782. AG ABLY to public notice given in the news papers, Inrse number of citizens, holders.of loan office certificates, met at the flate houfe, to take into confederation the difappointment and diftrefs of the ere ditors of the public, from the fufpenfion and delay of the payment ofthmtereit due upon loan omce certificates when Mr. BUir M'Clenachan was chofen chairman and doctor Rufh fecretary of the meeting.

RefoJved, That a committee be appointed, who fhall make a decent and retpecWul addref to congrefs, fetting forth the great diftrefs r.iany holders of certificates muft fuffer if ho more bills are drawn on France for payment of the intereftdu upon iheir.early loans to the public. Tnat this diftrers ii greatly aggravated by the unexpected manner in which it will fall pon them, inafmuch as the greater part of the intereft on thole certificates will become due on the 1x5th of Sep tember.next, and there is not time to. make provifion for fo great a difappointment. The committee are therefore directed, to pray congrefs the intereft due on fuch on or before the ft of March enfuing o.d.
