Amen, and amen. WILLIAMSBURG, July 18. BY a veiTel iuft arrived at Portfmouth, in five days from Bermuda, we learn, that a little before foe left Bermuda a veffel arrived there from Briftol, the Captain of which informed, that the commotions in England were fo great that many of the people were actually in armsj that Lord North lay at the point of death and that war was abfo lately declared againiV France and Spain, BxtraSl cfa letter from an officer in the amy, dated Middle Brook camp, New jei fey, 30, 1777. The enemy ftill remain at Amboy. From intelligence received this day, itit doubtful whether they intend retreating to New York, or not.

enemy within thefe few days have committed the raoft war.ton bar baritica, burning houfes, cutting down fine orchards, plundering the inhabitants, and threatening to dettroy poor helplds women, by burning them in thtirhoufes i thefe wanton barbarities convince me they hitnA to embark for New York, or to forae other part of the continent? a few davtswiU determine their route. All their horfe are earned over to Staten Mland, and the greateft part of their baggage on board their Clipping.
