NEWPORT, November 27.
By a gentleman whe arrived
laft Saturday in the Flag from
Providence, we learn that the
conduct of the rebels who were
aflembled at Point Judith, ex
ceeded all ‘the defcriptions of
unfeeling wreckers. Deftitute
of every principle of honour,
they were net content with
plundering the ftoresofthe {hip
but Captain Furneaux, and his
efflicers were ftripped of what
little baggage they were able
to get on fhore. One of the
members of their UpperHoufe,
was detellcd soins off with a
bag filled with the precious
fpoil. The thoughts of ap
proaching winter and the bleak.
nefs of the point, entirely chil
led thofe delicate feclings
which might have adorn’d him
in the Senate.
Upwards of 60 of the Syren’s
People have come in the Flag
to be exchanged. Thefe ho
neft fellows, as foon as the flag
left the town of Providence,
gave three huzzas for the King,
and congratulated each other
on the happy Profpeét of re
turning to the Service of their
Country.
Captain Furneaux, we hear,
is to be femt to Lebanon.
We hear that the militia
which fhave joined Mr, Wafh
ington, are tired of their fitu
ation anddetermined te return
home.
Laft Monday, Walter John
